The Gods Descend, Douluo's First Battle Stains the Heavens with Blood

Longevity Sect, Cloudsea Main Peak.

The sea of clouds surged like waves, rosy light hung suspended in midair, and Li Xuan's moon-white robes fluttered gently in the wind. The Godslayer Heavenly Authority revolved endlessly around him. Golden Dao patterns wound around his body, faintly isolating the laws of heaven and earth and blocking even the scrutiny of the gods of the Nine Heavens God Realm.

The system data in his mind remained steadily fixed, without the slightest deviation.

[Current Shock Points balance: 149,700,000.]

[Authorities held: Godslayer Heavenly Authority, Myriad Realms Legion Summoning Authority.]

[Alliance lineup: Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and Di Tian, five top-tier combatants; all human soul masters across the continent; and a million Soul Beasts united as one.]

The Heaven-Defying Alliance Army had fully taken shape. The Douluo Continent had cast aside all internal feuds and grudges. Humans, Soul Beasts, sects, and empires stood united, their target pointed directly at the lofty Nine Heavens God Realm.

This overwhelming tide of countless people defying the gods thoroughly alarmed the God Realm Committee.

The gods who had sat upon their Divine Positions for ten thousand years had never regarded the ants of a Lower Plane as worthy of notice. In their eyes, Douluo was merely a pasture they raised, and all living beings were sacrifices to be taken whenever needed.

Now the pasture had rebelled, and the sacrifices had turned against them. The gods were enraged, and Divine Punishment descended.

Li Xuan's gaze was indifferent as he raised his head toward the depths of the clouds in the Nine Heavens.

"System, have the Sky Screen lock onto the Divine Realm and livestream the entire battle of the gods' descent."

"Theme: <The Gods Descend, the Douluo Continent Resists Divine Might for the First Time>."

[Command confirmed! Full Sky Screen livestream activated!]

[The gates of the Divine Realm open. Main God avatars descend. The first wave of Divine Punishment sweeps across Douluo!]

Buzzz—!

The entire sky suddenly trembled violently, and the clouds were forcibly torn apart to either side.

A pitch-black void rift stretched across the vast sky. Blinding holy golden light, deep-blue light of the ocean, and blood-red Asura light—three supreme divine radiances crashed down from the rift, their pressure crushing the four seas and eight directions.

The Sky Screen simultaneously magnified the scene, clearly displaying the movements of the Divine Realm in every corner of the continent.

[The God Realm Committee is enraged. Three Main Gods have personally taken action!]

[Sea God Poseidon, Angel God, and Asura God have sent down divine avatars to descend upon the Douluo Plane!]

[Divine Punishment descends, seeking to crush the Heaven-Defying Alliance Army with absolute divine might and lock the continent back into its cycle of reincarnation!]

The cold narration of the Sky Screen resounded through heaven and earth, and everyone held their breath.

They were the three Supreme Main Gods who had ruled Douluo for ten thousand years, the masterminds manipulating every fate from behind the scenes.

Now, even without their true bodies appearing, merely three divine avatars descended with terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Above Spirit City.

Bibi Dong stood in the air in a black dress, Rakshasa Demonic Qi rolling around her in towering waves. Her violet eyes stared coldly at the three divine radiances. After the Sky Screen's revelations, she had long seen through the gods' hypocrisy. There was no fear left in her heart, only boundless hatred.

"For ten thousand years, you manipulated us. For countless lifetimes, you oppressed us. Today, we of Douluo will no longer bow our heads and submit!"

Above the Heaven Dou Airspace.

Qian Renxue's Angel God light bloomed as she severed every divine shackle within her body. Her pure golden divine power no longer obeyed the Angel God's command. Instead, carrying her desire for vengeance, it faced its source god directly.

"You used my clan's bloodline for sacrifice and toyed with my lifelong obsession. From this day forth, the Angel God and I will not rest until one of us is dead!"

Above the deep sea.

Bo Saixi stepped upon the waves and floated in the air. The seawater for thousands of miles rose and fell at her command, while endless deep-sea killing intent shot into the heavens. She had once served the Sea God for tens of thousands of years, but now she had completely broken with him. The power of the sea specifically restrained the Sea God's origin.

"I guarded Sea God Island for tens of thousands of years, only to receive deception and exploitation. Poseidon, your era is over!"

Above the ruins of Slaughter City.

Tang Chen gripped the ancient Clear Sky Hammer. The killing intent from a century of imprisonment transformed entirely into battle intent. His hammer technique was domineering and savage as he faced the blood-red radiance of the Asura God.

"You plotted against me for a hundred years and imprisoned half my soul. Asura God, I will personally collect this debt!"

At the peak of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian's massive beast body floated among the clouds, his dragon claws ferocious. The power of his fierce beast origin shook heaven and earth, while a million Soul Beasts roared in unison to cheer him on.

"The infighting among humans and the slaughter between humans and beasts were all orchestrated by you gods! Today, my Soul Beast clan swears to tear apart the prison of the Divine Realm!"

The five top-tier experts stood in five directions, their auras linked as one, forcibly withstanding the terrifying pressure of the three Main God avatars.

Boom—!

The Sea God's first Divine Punishment descended first. A boundless blue tsunami condensed out of thin air, transforming into a towering water dragon that crushed toward Bo Saixi and the sea alliance army. The seawater contained holy sealing power, seeking to suppress the entire ocean once more.

Rather than retreating, Bo Saixi advanced. She raised her hand and drew upon the origin of the entire sea. The Reversing Sea Art operated at full force, countering the Sea God's orthodox divine power. Endless black waves from the deep sea surged skyward and crashed head-on into the blue divine waters.

The two supreme waters collided explosively, and the massive shockwave churned the sea for thousands of miles, mist shrouding the sky.

At the same time, the Angel God's holy light transformed into countless golden feathers that shot down like a blanket covering heaven and earth. Their target was Qian Renxue and the remaining forces of the Angel Clan.

Qian Renxue's eyes were cold. She evolved pure Angel Divine Power from within herself and used the enemy's methods against him. Golden divine light collided with the feathers filling the sky, dismantling the attack from the source god layer by layer.

The Asura God's blood-red killing intent condensed into endless Asura blades, densely covering heaven and earth as they madly stabbed toward Tang Chen. The hatred of a century of imprisonment surged in his heart. Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer swept wide, one hammer breaking ten thousand techniques. His tyrannical hammer intent crushed countless Asura blades as he pressed step by step toward the Asura God avatar.

The Rakshasa Demonic Qi around Bibi Dong transformed into a boundless domain of darkness, covering the area around Spirit City for thousands of miles. It blocked the scattered aftershocks of Divine Punishment and protected the millions of Spirit Hall soul masters below.

Di Tian led a million Soul Beasts in forming a beast-tide formation, stabilizing the foundations of the continent and offsetting the gods' pressure so that the plane would not collapse so easily.

Within the clouds of the Nine Heavens, the three Main God avatars all revealed looks of surprise.

They had believed that a casual strike would crush these plane ants and restore the old order.

They had never imagined that their former believers, former pawns, and former prisoners would all transform, gaining the ability to contend with gods.

"Lowly ants, and you dare resist the gods?"

The Sea God avatar's cold, furious voice rang out. His divine power surged again as the blue divine sea continued expanding, frantically suppressing Bo Saixi.

"This god granted you a place to live. Not only do you fail to show gratitude, you instead cause chaos and rebellion. Your crimes deserve death!"

The Angel God avatar looked indifferent. "You have abandoned divine grace and rebelled against your origin. Today, I will erase you completely and choose new pawns for this plane!"

The Asura God avatar's killing intent was piercing. "Tang Chen, this god spared your wretched life for a hundred years. That was already mercy. Since you refuse to repent, then be utterly annihilated!"

The gods' words were arrogant, and they remained lofty and untouchable. They had never truly faced the resistance of Douluo's people.

Longevity Sect, Cloudsea Main Peak.

Li Xuan quietly overlooked the great battle below. The five experts fought the gods side by side, while humans and Soul Beasts stood united, forcibly enduring the violent assault of the three Main God avatars.

[Ding! Detected the outbreak of a battle against the gods. All living beings across the continent are fired up!]

[Bloodlust Shock Points gained: +7,500,000!]

[God-defying battle intent gained: +8,100,000!]

[Current Shock Points balance: 165,300,000!]

[New reward unlocked: Longevity Sect Guardian Array Full Activation Authority!]

Li Xuan lightly raised a finger. In the depths of the Longevity Sect's sea of clouds, layer upon layer of ancient array patterns slowly awakened, overlapping to envelop the entire Cloudsea Main Peak. They could descend upon the battlefield at any moment to protect the allied army and suppress the gods.

He spoke calmly, his voice piercing the clouds and resounding through heaven and earth:

"The Divine Realm stands high above, treating all living beings as grass and ants, toying with the cycle of reincarnation through the ages and harvesting Plane Origin."

"All living beings seek survival. What crime is that? A plane saves itself. How can that be called rebellion?"

"Today's first battle of Douluo is not a rebellion. It is a reckoning! A reckoning for the gods' sins of ten thousand years, to shatter the eternal prison of captivity!"

His words spread across every inch of the continent and reached the ears of every member of the allied army.

The previously tense morale of the army surged instantly. Everyone's battle intent soared, and their attacks became increasingly fearless.

In a corner of the dense forest.

Tang San watched the battle of gods filling the sky from afar. Watching the Heaven-Defying Alliance Army united as one, his heart was filled with complicated emotions and overwhelming regret.

He should have been one of the people, yet he had clung to the gods all along, plundered living beings, schemed against those he loved, and ultimately become a lonely man despised by all.

He wanted to atone for his sins, but he did not even have the right to step onto the battlefield.

The Sky Screen's light slowly dimmed, while the battle of gods below continued in full swing.

Just as the three sides remained deadlocked and the god avatars were about to unleash even stronger divine arts, a line of scarlet, blinding preview text was branded across the sky:

[Next chapter: The Longevity Sect takes action!]

[Heavenly Authority suppresses the gods, and the three Main God avatars flee in defeat!]

Deep within the Nine Heavens God Realm, the gods could no longer remain seated. Their fury continued to ferment.

They had never imagined that a Lower Plane truly possessed the strength to contend with gods.

Li Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, a bone-chilling cold light in his eyes.

The allied army was enough to contend with the avatars, while he would be the final straw that crushed the gods.

This battle was destined to make the gods suffer their first disgraceful defeat as they fled the Douluo Plane.
