The Asura God Suffered a Backlash. Yu Xiaogang Started All This-it Had Nothing to Do with Us!

Their lord's word, "ants," stabbed deep into the heart of every powerhouse in the hall.

What?

Some ants dared to spy on the Holy Spirit Continent?!

Holy War Gaia was the first to erupt.

He shot to his feet, his fighting spirit exploding around him as the hall's floor tiles cracked inch by inch!

"Who?!"

"Where did this thing come from, daring to spy on our Holy Spirit Continent? Does it have a death wish?!"

Dragon God Hamo followed right after.

Dragon might thundered down from his draconic body, golden light surged in his eyes, and his roar shook dust from the hall's roof!

"Courting death!!"

"Now they're spying on my lord-I'd like to see whose claws reach so far!"

Last came Soronson.

Black energy churned in the depths of his eyes as he spoke coldly.

"Is it the Douluo Continent?"

"Heh... those useless fools. Can't win a fight, so they resort to dirty tricks-and now they've been exposed, haven't they?"

Three furious volleys of questions crashed down, and fighting spirit soared through the hall.

Yet on his throne, Lin Yan merely gave them a faint glance.

"Calm down."

"How could it possibly be those people from the Douluo Continent?"

"They aren't qualified for that yet."

The assembled powerhouses froze briefly.

Not the Douluo Continent?

Lin Yan slowly raised his eyes, gazing beyond the Nine Heavens.

"It's those gods above the Douluo Continent."

"Gods...?"

After a brief silence, realization dawned on everyone.

Right! They had almost forgotten about them!

The Douluo Continent had gods too, but they had long since left that plane and resided in the Divine Realm above!

Their lord had mentioned this to them before.

So those were the creatures watching from above.

Holy War Gaia slowly flexed his wrists, his knuckles cracking as his mouth gradually spread into a grin.

"Is the Divine Realm strong?"

"How does it compare to our gods?"

Lin Yan spoke slowly.

"I'm not too sure about their total numbers, but they have fewer God Kings than we do!"

Holy War Gaia grinned, fighting spirit blazing to life in his eyes.

"Then I'd like to see just how strong they are."

"Let's see the difference between their gods and ours."

"I haven't fought in a full fifty thousand years."

At Gaia's words, the battle-hungry figures in the hall could no longer sit still.

Black energy churned in Soronson's eyes as he licked his lips.

"Perfect. It's about time I stretched my muscles too."

Malefic Star shook his wings, his black robes snapping as crimson light blazed in his eyes.

"Count me in if there's a fight!"

Quisha slowly raised his head, savage light fully exposed in his eyes as he grinned.

"It's been so long since I fought that I'm itching all over."

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.

"Ugh..."

The Asura God's massive body staggered back several steps, each footfall splitting a deep fissure in the temple floor!

He pressed one hand to his brow, disordered divine power spilling between his fingers.

His livid face held a trace of horrified pallor.

A mighty deity had actually been forced back by a backlash!

The sensation of that instant still lingered in his sea of consciousness.

The moment his divine sense touched that blank expanse, an immeasurably vast spiritual force had come crushing toward him from the far end of the darkness.

It was like a colossal eye opening in the abyss. One mere glance had sent him tumbling all the way back.

Seeing this, the Sea God hurried forward to support him.

"What happened?!"

The Asura God slowly steadied himself, suppressed his surging divine power, and looked up at the Sea God. For the first time, an utterly grave expression appeared in his eyes.

"The Holy Spirit Continent is no simple place."

"Halfway through my investigation, an extremely powerful spiritual force stopped me."

"The owner of that spiritual force..."

He paused, then pronounced each word distinctly.

"Is absolutely no weaker than me in combat!"

"What?!"

The Sea God's pupils trembled violently as he cried out in shock.

"No weaker than you?!"

He took half a step back, his expression changing as well.

What sort of being was the Asura God?

He was the Divine Realm's foremost deity of slaughter. Across the ages, the beings who could last ten exchanges against him could be counted on one hand!

Yet now, a continent in the lower realm actually concealed someone who could fight him on equal terms?!

"It seems..."

The Sea God drew a deep breath and slowly voiced his conclusion.

"This so-called Holy Spirit Continent has a God King too!"

A God King!

As those words fell, the air throughout the temple seemed to freeze.

But the Asura God gave a cold laugh, murderous intent soaring from his eyes.

"So what?"

"I certainly have no fear of him!"

"A rat who only dares to hide in the shadows, playing with spiritual power, nothing more. One day, I'll find him myself!"

"Then kill him!"

"And bring every inch of his territory into the Divine Realm's domain!"

"Next, summon the other four God Kings. We're holding a meeting!"

At that moment, the Holy Spirit Continent was even livelier.

Countless Soul Masters scrambled to connect to the Heavenly Screen, their mockery surging into the Douluo Section like a tide.

[Meng Jiu: You said we weren't qualified to judge? Are we qualified now? If you love barking so much, keep barking!]

[Old Wang: I remember someone saying we should compare once our dragon martial souls appeared. Well? Why aren't you talking now? Come on, let's compare! If you can withstand even one move from him, we'll call it a jackpot!]

[Xiao Tian: And that guy who called himself a pillar holding up the heavens-you really know how to gild your own face. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were some high-ranking deity!]

[Zhou Yueban: What might of beast martial souls? Saying that aloud is embarrassing! Even our dragon-type martial souls without true dragon bloodlines are stronger than yours! Country bumpkins!]

[Wei Lai: And Yu Xiaogang, the loudest barker of all-why aren't you barking now? Huh? You love barking so much! Bark!]

[Chen Ahua: Yu Xiaogang, listen well. In our eyes, you're just an ant. You aren't even worthy of carrying the shoes of those two on the rankings!]

[Li Hongwei: Yu Xiaogang, remember this! You're nothing but a stinking, barking dog!]

This time, the Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent did not hurl insults back as they usually did!

[Ning Fengzhi: I'm Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You may not remember me-important people have so much to remember, so that's understandable! Our two elders, Chen Xin and Gu Rong, spoke disrespectfully just now. Great people don't hold petty people's faults against them, so could you let it slide? We apologize! The Holy Spirit Continent is the most badass of all!]

[Gu Rong: Hehe, I'm no pillar holding up the heavens. I'm just a fart! Please don't take it to heart, Your Eminences, especially you, Brother Ao Che. I was joking!]

[Chen Xin: Brother Ao Che, Gu Rong had too much to drink!]

[Wei Lai: If you're drunk, hurry up and get lost. Why are you hanging around here, waiting to be fed?]

[Gu Rong: We're leaving, we're leaving! But let me say one more thing. The culprit behind this whole mess is Yu Xiaogang, not us! Actually, we knew how powerful you were all along. Yu Xiaogang has been stirring up trouble here every day. He drove all of it! If you want revenge, if you want to vent your anger, just go find him!]

At those words, Yu Xiaogang on the Douluo Continent was dumbfounded.

Weren't we getting along pretty well before?

You're selling me out just like that?

[Yu Xiaogang: ?]

In the main hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Yuanzhen sprang from his chair.

"Damn, Ning Fengzhi and those old foxes thought of this method too?!"

"No, we have to hurry and follow suit..."
