Chapter 531: The God King

"Damn Xia Yi, if it weren't for Leng Yaozhu protecting you, I would've skinned you alive." Yali gritted her teeth so hard they made a harsh grinding sound.

She hadn't expected that Xia Yi would really make her just play support, and from beginning to end, he never touched her.

In the end, he even left directly with Mu Xi, completely ignoring her.

How could Yali not be furious?

She had even mentally prepared herself to be taken advantage of by Xia Yi.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Yuanen Yehui appeared at the headmaster's office door and knocked a few times. "Your Holiness, Xia Yi asked me to give this storage soul guide to you."

"That damned fox, at least he has a little conscience and knows he owes me." Yali's lips finally curled into a faint smile as she looked at the storage soul guide in her hands.

"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, Part Two." The moment she let her consciousness probe into the storage soul guide, Yali froze in shock.

"This damned fox... once I complete my cultivation, just wait and see how I drain you dry." Yali took a deep breath and, without further hesitation, began to cultivate.

"Holy Spirit Douluo, you've fallen. Weren't you determined to cut ties with him?" Deep within Yali's spiritual world, the Goddess of Life still tried to persuade her.

"Then let me fall. It's clear he won't let me go. Even if I don't willingly fall, he'll drag me down anyway. Might as well feed myself to the tiger. If my sacrifice means he can stay true to himself forever, then it's worth it." A soft smile appeared on Yali's lips as she ignored the Goddess of Life.

Xia Yi had given her The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon Part Two to cultivate—it was a recognition of her identity.

That alone made her instantly forget all previous unpleasantness.

"Hopeless!" the Goddess of Life sighed softly.

Their plan to sway Yali had completely fallen apart.

Feed herself to the tiger?

Bah!

The Goddess of Life was full of disdain at Yali's justification.

That grin of hers nearly reached the sky!

Calling it a sacrifice?

You're probably happier than anyone.

"Indeed, she's beyond saving," the God of Destruction also shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's hope the Plane's Master can maintain control, and not let the Silver Dragon King create a divine realm for soul beasts."

Soul beasts were never meant to become gods—this was something secured by sacrificing the lives of countless deities. If the Silver Dragon King and Xia Yi established a divine realm of their own, then the Dragon God War would've been fought in vain.

The God of Destruction no longer had hopes that Yali would help them.

He could only hope that Tang Hao would step up to stop the Silver Dragon King—and Xia Yi.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin were both second-level deities. In the divine realm, that didn't count for much, but in the lower realms, they were unparalleled.

Tang San had made Tang Hao the Plane Master of the Douluo Realm, and Ah Yin the Life Core of the realm—clearly to prevent chaos during the gods' absence.

Aside from the Silver Dragon King, the Goddess of Life and God of Destruction couldn't think of any other force in the Douluo Plane that could counterbalance the Plane Master and Life Core.

With Tang San's cunning, he surely would've left behind ways for Tang Hao and Ah Yin to restrain the Silver Dragon King.

"Let's hope so," the Goddess of Life could only agree at this point.

What they didn't know was that Xia Yi was already inside the soul beasts' divine realm—Origin of Creation.

The Origin of Creation's level was even higher than the former Douluo Divine Realm.

At this moment, in the Origin of Creation, endless blue-gold radiance shot into the sky, releasing countless auspicious rays and flooding the world with divine light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ocean roared thunderously. All sea creatures could feel it: the sea had come alive, like it possessed a consciousness.

Divine light bathed the world, brilliant colors filling the sky. Vital energy overflowed in the hearts of all sea creatures.

Endless laws of heaven and earth converged. Strands of blue-gold light appeared on the horizon, dyeing the sky itself that same shimmering hue.

At the same time, from the depths of the ocean, an immense blue-gold light pillar soared into the heavens, accompanied by unparalleled divine power that pierced the skies.

That pillar was vast and majestic—so grand, it transformed the entire sea's sky into the same blue-gold color.

Within the pillar, a tall, graceful figure flickered into view. In that moment, she radiated a solemn majesty.

The ocean boiled. The sea level surged by a hundred meters in an instant. Every marine creature surged toward the surface, all drawn to the light pillar by that overwhelming divine force, desperate to catch a glimpse of the figure inside it.

"The Demon Empress has truly become the Sea God." In the eyes of these ancient sea beasts—each more than a hundred thousand years old—there was envy, jealousy, fanaticism, and comfort.

They all knew what had just happened.

And because they knew, they were shocked.

Not even when Tang San became the Sea God twenty thousand years ago had such a scene occurred.

Only when Poseidon himself became Sea God—countless eons ago—had anything similar happened.

And even then, this current spectacle was grander.

"She became a God King outright?" In the sky, Ditian's eyes burned with passion. He looked over at Bi Ji and Zi Ji, clenched his fists, and declared, "From today, I will enter closed cultivation. I will not emerge until I create my own God King divine seat."

Ditian believed his own foundation was not weaker than the Demon Empress. He had once been guided by the Dragon God, and now had the nine Dragon Kings teaching him. All the hopes of the Dragon Clan rested on his shoulders.

Even the supreme artifact Heavenly Holy Rift Abyss had been given to him.

All so he could become a god before the Demon Empress.

To show the people of Origin of Creation (Genesis Orgin) that the Dragon Clan was still supreme.

But now, the Demon Empress had reached godhood first.

And not just godhood—she had leapt straight to God King.

Now, if she wanted, she could take over Origin of Creation.

Even Gu Yue couldn't stop her.

After all, Gu Yue still hadn't fully recovered.

"How does it feel to become a god?" In the Sea God Palace, Xia Yi looked at the Demon Empress with fervent eyes—a God King!

The Douluo Divine Realm had existed for countless years and only produced five God Kings.

Yet Origin of Creation, in such a short time, had its own God King.

How could he not be excited?

"I want to test it on someone," the Demon Empress was also excited. She rubbed her fists eagerly and asked Xia Yi, "When are we going to visit the current Divine Realm? I want to meet Poseidon and Tang San."

"Are you crazy? Tang San's an old-school God King, dual-god attributes. You just became a god and already want to challenge him? Aren't you afraid of getting wrecked?" Xia Yi said helplessly.

"Getting wrecked? Heh—if I can't even handle Tang San and Poseidon, then all those opportunities I got from you were for nothing, weren't they?" The Demon Empress sneered. Under normal circumstances, even as a God King, she might not be confident in defeating Tang San.

But now?

She really didn't take Tang San too seriously.

With her ascension, her understanding of the Hetu Luoshu had deepened significantly, bringing her grasp of divine power close to that of the veteran God Kings of the Douluo Divine Realm.

Plus, she had trained in the Stabilizing Sea Staff Technique and its matching cultivation method.

Although both she and Poseidon were Sea Gods, she naturally countered him.

"At least wait until I become a god before we go!" Xia Yi said with resignation, looking at the Demon Empress. For the first time, he truly felt immense pressure.

A Soul Saint—whose wife is a God King.

In all of history, he was the first.

"When will you become a god?" the Demon Empress asked curiously. She was also interested—if Xia Yi created his own divine seat, what kind of god would he be?

God of Earth?

Impossible—although Xia Yi controlled the Cauldron of Earth, he himself didn't have earth attributes.

Could it be… God of Foxes?

Haha!

Then she'd have a field day teasing him.
