Chapter 609: Above the God King (Part 2)

"Beyond the God King realm is by no means my limit," Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

As a former ruler of the God Realm, Tang San had never lacked confidence. He believed that with the help of the Xuan Tian Gong, he would eventually reach the realm of Poseidon.

"The Douluo Plane... I'm back. It's time to set things right."

Though trapped in the spiritual world, Tang San could still observe the outside world.

At this moment, Poseidon had already used Tang San's Sea God divine position to respond to the signal sent out by the Sea God Trident, locking precisely onto the Douluo Plane's coordinates. He was now attempting to construct a long-distance spatial tunnel to directly descend into the Douluo Plane.

Beside Poseidon stood Zeus, who had taken over the body of the Light God King, Chang Gongwei, and a group of God Kings they had rescued from the black hole.

These God Kings looked extremely grim. They all knew there was something unusual about "Tang San" and "Chang Gongwei"...

But unlike Tang San, they didn't know Poseidon and Zeus's true identities.

Now, these God Kings could clearly sense that both "Tang San" and "Chang Gongwei" had already surpassed the God King level.

With the power of the Seven Divine Realms, Poseidon and Zeus fused them into a God Star.

At their level, given enough power, accomplishing this wasn't difficult.

As long as there was sufficient energy, even the Genesis Origin could break through to the God Star level.

The power contained in the Seven Divine Realms was sufficient to support the birth of a God Star.

However, for a God Star to be born, power alone wasn't enough. It also required someone with a deep understanding of the Laws of the Universe to lead the process. Otherwise, even if the Seven Divine Realms were fused, they would only form a larger God Realm at best.

The process of a God Realm advancing to a God Star, to put it simply, is similar to human cultivation: first energy, then enlightenment.

Without sufficient energy, no one can break through.

And without enlightenment, no amount of energy would help.

Those cultivators stuck at certain bottlenecks typically face exactly this problem.

In terms of understanding the universal laws, Gu Yue had already surpassed the God King level.

Therefore, she gave the Genesis Origin the potential to break through to a God Star.

What the Genesis Origin now lacked was energy.

Each of the Seven Divine Realms that had survived the chaotic space-time turbulence was incredibly deep in heritage. The power they held was enough for Poseidon and Zeus to fuse a God Star and break through beyond the God King level.

Beyond the God King...

The former God Kings of the Seven Realms were all stunned speechless.

The God Realm's natural limit was the God King level.

The God Star indeed allowed God Kings to transcend that limit.

But to go beyond the God King realm? That might take millions of years under normal circumstances.

Yet "Tang San" and "Chang Gongwei" had achieved it so quickly.

As Poseidon threw the Sea God's divine position into the void, a blue spatial tunnel appeared—like an undersea passage stretching through the void.

Through this spatial tunnel, one could even see the other end—Poseidon of the Douluo Plane holding the Sea God Trident.

"Xia Yi, to think you didn't even notice someone opening a spatial tunnel... Since that's the case—we're here." Poseidon and Zeus, controlling Tang San and Chang Gongwei's bodies, directly entered the spatial tunnel.

Just then, the sky around the Douluo Plane suddenly brightened. Although it was daytime, the stars became dazzlingly radiant.

In that moment, the stars surrounding the Douluo Plane seemed to be drawn together by a mysterious force, forming a cohesive whole.

Poseidon and Zeus, stepping into the spatial tunnel, were about to arrive at the Douluo Plane—when they were suddenly repelled by a mysterious force. Even with their strength beyond the God King level, they were violently blasted backward.

Immediately after, a terrifying suction force surged. The spatial tunnel Poseidon had constructed became even more dreadful than a black hole, wildly devouring energy from the God Star formed by the fusion of the Seven Realms.

"Formation! Xia Yi... worthy of being a Guardian of Kyushu, you came prepared. But this formation won't stop us," Zeus snorted coldly, a golden thunderbolt appearing in his hand as he cautiously stepped into the tunnel again.

Poseidon also brought out two broken pieces of the Sea God Trident and followed.

Very quickly, they sensed the power of the formation.

"I'll break Xia Yi's formation. You guard the tunnel," Zeus said, turning to Poseidon.

"I built this tunnel. As long as I'm here, nothing will go wrong," Poseidon replied with confidence.

With Poseidon's assurance, Zeus unleashed his golden lightning, blasting it toward the formation blocking their way.

Normally, even possessing only the bodies of Chang Gongwei and Tang San, Zeus and Poseidon would have no trouble breaking this formation.

But the key was—they couldn't destroy the spatial tunnel.

If the tunnel collapsed, they'd be forced to rely on spatial hopping to reach the Douluo Plane. That could take countless years.

They had to proceed cautiously.

The golden thunderbolt struck the formation's barrier, and on the Douluo Plane, Leng Yulai suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Quick—destroy the spatial tunnel! The enemy is far too powerful—they may already be beyond the God King level!" Leng Yulai shouted to Gu Yue and the Demon Emperor. As the one maintaining the formation, she could clearly sense the terrifying power of that golden lightning.

Her formation was designed to counter God Kings.

Who could have predicted the enemy would already be beyond that?

"Beyond the God King?!" Gu Yue and the Demon Emperor's expressions changed, and without hesitation, they struck—Dragon God Spear descending with a nine-colored glow from the heavens.

In an instant, the entire Sea God Island and the Flame Gate that Chen Xinjie had sacrificed himself to create were reduced to ashes.

Poseidon, holding the Sea God Trident, was instantly exposed. Above his trident, the spatial tunnel was still linked.

"Silver Dragon King—no, Dragon God—you actually succeeded?" Seeing the terrifying nine-colored spear light, Poseidon's face turned pale. Under its pressure, he fell to his knees.

And not just him—even Tang Hao, A Yin, Tang Wulin, and Long Yeyue were forced to kneel under that oppressive might.

Gu Yue ignored them. The nine-colored spear light surged into the spatial tunnel.

The power of the sea churned, and vast energy poured into the tunnel as well.

"Explode!" Leng Yulai didn't hesitate—she triggered the full power of the formation she had spent years building, pouring all of it into the spatial tunnel and then detonating it.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!Deafening explosions erupted. Even divine-level beings felt their eardrums ringing from the impact.

"I'll drag you to hell along with Xia Yi!" A low, murderous voice roared as golden lightning erupted from the spatial tunnel. "Tang San" was the first to step out of it.

At this point, he was in a miserable state—

His clothes were in tatters, most of his long blue hair had been burned off.

"Chang Gongwei," who followed behind him, fared no better.

His entire body was severely injured, skin torn open in places, and most of his hair gone too.

Inside the tunnel, in order to protect it from being destroyed, both he and "Tang San" had been unable to unleash their full beyond-God King power. They had to split their strength—defending the tunnel while withstanding the attacks of Gu Yue, the Demon Emperor, and Leng Yulai.

So, despite their supreme cultivation, they emerged battered and broken.
