God's Sneak Attack

A pitch-black palm shot toward Qin Li.

The god was confident. Someone who had only just become a god had not yet converted their power and could not possibly be a match for him.

So what if she was level one hundred? Without her Soul Rings transforming into divine rings, she was ultimately still an ordinary person.

"Hah!"

"Devour Heaven and Earth!"

With a sharp cry, Qin Li aimed the mouth of the Eastern Emperor Bell at the incoming giant palm.

The next instant, the Eastern Emperor Bell erupted with a violent suction force, forcibly drawing the pitch-black giant palm inside.

Buzz~

After devouring the giant palm, the Eastern Emperor Bell merely trembled slightly.

"How could this be? Why is this happening? She has only just become a god—how could she possess such power?"

The god spoke in a daze.

Yet he became even more enamored with Qin Li's martial soul.

"This should be mine."

The god stopped holding back. He vanished instantly, then reappeared behind Qin Li.

He unleashed a fatal strike at her.

Qin Li reacted instantly, using one hand to block the god's attack.

Boom!

To the god's surprise, he was the one sent flying.

"How is this possible? It can't be! Why can't I defeat someone who just became a god?"

The god stared at his palm in disbelief.

Then, he noticed something unusual about it.

His right palm was cracking apart inch by inch, turning into fragments that scattered away.

He tried to restore it with divine power, only to find that it was completely impossible.

"What did you do to me?"

The god demanded of Qin Li.

"Nothing much. I'm just killing you."

"What arrogance!"

The god shouted and began circulating his power. Just as Qin Li prepared to attack, he suddenly turned sharply and flew in another direction.

As long as the green hills remained, there would be no shortage of firewood.

He was no match for the person before him. It was better to avoid her edge for now.

"Heh, what kind of god is this? You're actually afraid of someone who just became a god. But I can't let you escape. If you dare set your sights on me, you must be prepared to die."

Qin Li smiled faintly. A gateway appeared before her, and she walked straight into it.

The next moment, she appeared dozens of miles ahead of the god.

"??"

The god, who was still flying, stared in shock at Qin Li, who had suddenly appeared ahead of him. When had she gotten in front of him?

But this was not the time for him to keep thinking. He quickly turned around. One of his hands had already been severed completely at the wrist.

This woman was far too strange. He should never have accepted this mission; it had only brought disaster upon himself.

"Trying to leave? Let me show you my new technique—Spatial Chains!"

Qin Li stretched out her right hand, and countless void chains suddenly appeared throughout the surrounding space, tightly binding the god.

"Aah!"

No matter how the god struggled, he could not break free from the chains. Instead, they were absorbing his divine power.

Very quickly, he realized what was happening.

A huge bell appeared above his head, and the chains extended from the surface of the Eastern Emperor Bell, binding him tightly.

His divine power was slowly becoming nourishment for the Eastern Emperor Bell as well.

"My divine power... No, my strength!"

The god cried out in agony. If the Eastern Emperor Bell continued absorbing him, he would fall from godhood and no longer be a god.

That was something he could not accept.

Thinking of this, the god immediately begged Qin Li for mercy.

"I failed to recognize your greatness. Please spare me. I can tell you who sent me to deal with you."

The god looked at Qin Li in terror.

She possessed the power to absorb divine power and laws. She was more terrifying than a demon.

"Oh? Why would I need you to tell me? Can't I just search your soul?" Qin Li replied expressionlessly.

"No, no. The souls of gods cannot be searched. Once subjected to a soul search, they will self-destruct."

Hearing the god speak so confidently, Qin Li could not quite tell whether he was telling the truth, but she still did not relent.

"Is that so? Then you'd better speak quickly. If you wait too long, you'll truly become an ordinary person."

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Feeling the divine power within him rapidly dwindling, the god immediately answered.

"I am an ordinary god of the God Realm, a subordinate of Pride God, one of the Seven Deadly Sin Gods. Some time ago, he gave me a mission.

I was to come to the lower realm, Douluo Continent, and kill anyone who created a Self-Created Godhood. Regardless of age or gender, once I killed them, I was to return to the God Realm immediately.

Because when someone in the lower realm breaks through and becomes a god, there is still one more step: transforming their Soul Rings into divine rings. Only after every Soul Ring has been completely transformed can they be considered a true god.

At all other times, they remain very weak. That was why I dared to come to the lower realm."

"Was this aimed at me?"

Qin Li began thinking at once.

This was clearly a targeted mission. A Self-Created Godhood, and someone who had recently broken through—there was only her.

But why? She had no connection whatsoever to the people of the God Realm. Why had they set their sights on her?

Suddenly, two figures flashed through Qin Li's mind: her father and mother.

Could it be...

Ning Rongrong: So this is a god? Just the aftermath of their battle shattered the nearby mountain range. So powerful.

Golden Crocodile Douluo: There is still a vast difference between gods and humans. But judging from the Sky Screen, the Godhood Qin Li initially condensed should be the God of Space.

Qian Daoliu: Incredible. She has not even completed her conversion, yet she can already defeat a true god. Once the conversion is complete, who knows how powerful she will become.

Xie Yue: That scared me to death just now. My niece nearly came to harm. Damn God Realm! If I could become a god too, I would directly kill the god who bullied my niece. And one more thing—my sister was really worried about Qin Li just now.

Hu Liena: Brother, what are you saying? Don't talk nonsense. I wasn't.

Huo Wu: You're explaining yourself. Looks like your brother was right.

Shui Bing'er: Just accept it. She is your daughter anyway.

Chrysanthemum Douluo: Holy Maiden, I support you. In the future, you must give birth to Qin Li.

Yan: ...

Yu Xiaogang: It seems the difference between gods really is enormous. They are truly powerful. But how are the gods of the God Realm classified? What standing does Pride God have in the God Realm? Why is he targeting Qin Li?

Liu Erlong: It seems it should be related to what came before. Otherwise, I cannot think of anyone else.

Ning Fengzhi: I think so too. It cannot be separated from Qin Feng.

"Goddess, Goddess, hurry and let me recover! My Godhood is about to fall!"

The god shouted frantically.

With a wave of Qin Li's hand, the chains did not disappear, but their ability to absorb divine power vanished. The god breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm asking you: why are you targeting me?"

"Well, I don't know either. I'm merely someone who follows orders. If you want to know, go ask Pride God."
