Entering the God Realm with Sword in Hand, Only to Slay Gods

As Jiang Chen's figure vanished into the golden light, the light disappeared as well, and the Far North fell silent once more.

"That senior has left." Snow Woman looked dejected.

"Does he intend to take on the God Realm alone?"

"Forget it. That senior possesses immense abilities. We aren't qualified to involve ourselves in his affairs yet."

Within the God Realm, mountains and rivers were magnificent, peaceful, and clear.

A man in black swiftly flew into a valley.

"Damn it, how could there be a god in the mortal world?"

"No, this is too important. I need to report this to Lord God King."

"Even if you keep running, you can't change your fate of dying!"

"No, what the hell is wrong with you? You chased me all the way to the God Realm!"

"I just wanted to catch a mount..."

The black-clad man had barely finished speaking.

The Zhuxian Sword came hurtling over, piercing straight through his body.

"Puh... H-how is that possible?!"

The light in the black-clad man's eyes faded. He collapsed to the ground, his life gradually draining away.

An ancient, sacred palace stood amid the clouds. Cranes cried as they flew about, and countless stars adorned the palace ceiling. Suddenly, one of those stars lost its light.

"Th-that is Noss's soul star. He's dead?!"

A man seated cross-legged on a meditation cushion inside the palace spoke in a low voice.

"Wait... the aura it gives off... He died in the God Realm!"

"Who is so bold as to dare kill someone from my Divine Temple?!"

The man in azure robes was the master of the Divine Temple, Norton, the Trajectory God and one of the God Realm's twelve God Kings. Noss was his biological younger brother.

"Hehe, which God King's faction dared to kill my brother? Feel my wrath!"

Norton circulated his divine power, twisting strands of fate in an attempt to trace a clue through karma.

"The Kelan Mountains?"

"Guards..."

"Lord God King, what are your orders?"

Several gods entered the palace and asked respectfully.

"My brother died in the Kelan Mountains. Find out who did it!"

"The Divine Temple has been quiet for too long. Perhaps they have nearly forgotten... hehe..." Norton's face darkened as he spoke with viciousness.

"Yes, Lord God King."

Having received Norton's command, several gods left the Divine Temple and flew toward the Kelan Mountains.

Within a valley in the Kelan Mountains.

Jiang Chen looked at the black-clad man lying before him, dead beyond all doubt.

"Hmph, gods aren't all that impressive."

"You dared touch the piece I laid down hundreds of thousands of years in the future. You're truly courting death!"

This world did not contain only the God Realm and Soul Land. At the edge of the God Realm lay the Demon Realm, and the Extraterrestrial Demons had never ceased waging war against the God Realm.

With nothing but those trash in the God Realm, they definitely could not hold them off. If they had the strength, they would have counterattacked the Demon Realm long ago.

If the God Realm fell one day, Soul Land would also suffer an undeserved calamity. With so many pieces on the board, there would always be gains and losses.

Although Jiang Chen's soul ring and soul bone configuration was now fully maxed out, he was ultimately only a Level 100 Third-Level God. So what if he was stronger than a First-Level God? Jiang Chen knew that his strength was still inferior to a God King, let alone the Supreme Gods and Ultimate Gods above the God Kings, who had rarely shown themselves for millions of years.

Of course, Supreme Gods did exist. Yet for tens of millions of years, they had been as elusive in the God Realm as dragons glimpsed only in flashes, almost never involving themselves in worldly matters.

Ultimate God was merely the highest realm proposed on that basis. They believed that Supreme God was not the end. Though no trace of an existence beyond supremacy could be found, that did not mean it did not exist. What was ultimate? It meant there was nothing above it. Ultimate was the end of cultivation: one could achieve eternal life, immortality, and indestructibility without relying on Divine Source.

Within the perception of Jiang Chen's vast spiritual power, several figures were rushing toward his location. By rough estimate, there were two Second-Level Gods and one First-Level God. Even elsewhere in the God Realm, such cultivation made them major figures.

The God Realm was not populated entirely by gods. It was like a cultivation world where mortals and immortals lived within the same world. Even Title Douluo were highly revered. The difference between the God Realm and the mortal realm was that spiritual energy was richer here, and cultivation progressed faster. Thus, there were far more Title Douluo than in the mortal world.

Yet becoming a god depended on opportunity. If there was an empty divine position, one could inherit it. If not, one could only establish a divine position independently. However, very few succeeded. For ordinary people, Title Douluo was already the end.

"Old Black, we're almost at the Kelan Mountains."

The dark-skinned burly man replied, "Who knows which unlucky bastard killed Lord God King's biological younger brother? With the Divine Temple emerging, I'm afraid another bloody storm is about to begin."

"Who knows? We only need to do our own jobs." The leader spoke.

"Big Brother is right. This isn't something we should worry about."

"Besides, as one of the God Realm's twelve top factions, our Divine Temple is an enormous force that dominates the Southern Borderlands."

"..."

Jiang Chen flew into the air and asked the four men, "Brothers, I've just arrived here. May I ask where this place is?"

The dark-skinned burly man politely replied, "This place is called the Kelan Mountains. Have you seen a god dressed in black, little brother?"

The three men sensed Jiang Chen's Third-Level God aura and did not believe he could pose any threat to them.

"A god in black? I think I saw him. A powerful god chased him here just now. The place below should be the burial ground of the person you mentioned."

"Ah, good thing I hid far away, or I would have been silenced long ago."

Jiang Chen wore a lingering look of fear, as though he had barely survived a disaster.

"Thank you, little brother. If you ever run into trouble, come to the Divine Temple and find me, Il."

As soon as the leading First-Level God finished speaking, he led the other two toward the direction Jiang Chen had pointed out.

Could it be that I killed him? But... if I said a Third-Level God killed a Second-Level God, who would believe me?!

"I'm truly a good person," Jiang Chen sighed.

"..."

In the north of the God Realm stood the Dao God Sect.

Palaces stood atop mountain ranges, wrapped in immortal mist. At a glance, they appeared indistinct and elusive.

"Senior Sister, something terrible has happened!"

A loli-like voice rang into the loft as a young woman in a green dress hurried inside.

Within the loft, a stunning woman in a pink dress smiled gently. "Xiao Ling, why are you so flustered? What happened?"

"S-senior Sister, the Divine Temple has emerged. It seems... seems to be searching for someone!"

A strange gleam flashed through the pink-dressed woman's eyes. She murmured, "The Divine Temple has emerged? Are they going to hunt prodigies again?"

Nearly a thousand years ago in the God Realm, a group of prodigies from various major factions had angered the Divine Temple and were hunted down. In the end, every one of them perished, while their respective factions gradually declined as well.

"Senior Sister, perhaps we shouldn't go to Fruit Mountain after all."

The green-dressed woman named Xiao Ling spoke worriedly.

The woman in pink rubbed Xiao Ling's head and said helplessly, "Xiao Ling, Fruit Mountain holds tremendous opportunities. There may very well be a sacred medicine that can help one break through to the God King realm."

"I, Ye Hongyu, have remained at the First-Level God realm for hundreds of years, only to learn that the God King realm is like an impassable chasm. Now that I finally have an opportunity, how can I give it up?"

"Besides, the Dao God Sect is also one of the twelve top factions. We have never had any conflict with the Divine Temple. If they want to touch someone from the Dao God Sect, the Divine Temple will have to think carefully first."

"..."
