Chapter 614: God King! Yali!

The God Kings of the six major Divine Realms all knew that a great battle in the Divine Circle was inevitable.

A battle above the level of God King—even if they didn't participate directly—they could still be caught in the crossfire and fall.

But it would be different if someone could seize control of the Divine Star Core of the Divine Circle.

Whoever controls the Divine Star Core of the Divine Circle holds the ultimate trump card of mutual destruction.

Even those beyond the God King level wouldn't dare to push them too far.

At this moment, the two above-God King powers of the Divine Circle were absent.

The most powerful Douluo Divine Realm was being held back by the Demon Empress alone.

This was the perfect moment to seize control of the Divine Circle.

As long as one gained control, and integrated their Divine Realm Core into the Divine Circle's Divine Star Core, they could stand in an invincible position.

In an instant, aside from the Douluo Divine Realm Core and Chang Gongwei's Divine Realm Core, the remaining six Divine Realm Cores—including Leng Yaozhu's Douluo Seal—floated into the sky simultaneously, all fiercely competing for control of the Divine Circle.

The other five Divine Realm Cores seemed to act with mutual understanding. While fighting each other, they also jointly rejected the outsider—Leng Yaozhu.

"Imperial Dao, submit!" Leng Yaozhu shouted, pushing her [Huangdi Neijing] to its extreme, infusing her terrifying imperial aura fully into the Douluo Seal.

A dazzling golden light burst from the Douluo Seal, piercing the sky and illuminating the entire Divine Circle.

An overwhelming pressure spread forth, causing more than half the gods in the Divine Circle to feel an urge to submit.

Not just the gods—the five other Divine Realm Cores in the sky also trembled slightly from the pressure.

"What is this!?" All five Divine Realm Core controllers' faces changed drastically—Leng Yaozhu was suppressing all five of them alone!

"Hmph! If your Divine Realm Core truly belonged to the Douluo Divine Realm, then we'd admit defeat. But you're just an outsider! Our Divine Realm Cores already control part of the Divine Circle. That's our innate advantage—what do you have to compete with us?" the Mad God shouted.

A violent aura exploded from him. The twelve dark wings behind his back and his eyes simultaneously transformed.

The twelve wings turned blood-red in an instant, and his eyes became fully suffused with crimson light. His already intense aura rose dramatically to a whole new level.

"Stop that outsider at all costs!" the Mad God roared. His armor turned from dark gold to bright red-gold. His twelve wings flapped as he poured his power madly into his Divine Realm Core.

Not only him, but all the gods from the Mad God Divine Realm gathered around and channeled their power into their Divine Realm Core without reservation.

The same scene played out around the other Divine Realm Cores.

The remaining four Divine Realms quickly reached a consensus—they stopped resisting each other and focused fully on resisting Leng Yaozhu.

Leng Yaozhu was far too dominant, and they all knew full well that none of these outsiders were weak. On the contrary, they were all monstrously strong.

If they kept infighting while Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue broke through to the God King and beyond, they might not even get scraps.

"Buzz!" The Douluo Seal trembled violently. A wisp of blood appeared at the corner of Leng Yaozhu's mouth—the five Divine Realm Cores' counterattack was not so easy to withstand.

"I'll go stop them!" Leng Yulai said without hesitation and prepared to charge forward.

"Come back! Focus on your breakthrough!" Gu Yue immediately stopped her.

Poseidon's Sea God Hall had constructed a spatial passage outside the Douluo Divine Realm.

That location was now under the control of the Douluo Divine Realm Core.

Since Tang San—the one who controlled it—was currently being restrained by Xia Hong, the Douluo Core was unguarded, which gave them the opportunity to make their breakthrough here.

If Leng Yulai went to a region controlled by another Divine Realm Core, they could use it to stop her from breaking through to the God King level.

If her breakthrough failed, Leng Yulai could suffer a backlash.

And if she were severely wounded in enemy territory, the other God Kings wouldn't show mercy.

As the eldest sister, there was no way Gu Yue would let Leng Yulai take that risk.

At that moment, Gu Yue didn't hesitate. The Sky Cauldron floated from her hand and hovered before her, frantically pulling on the laws of the Divine Circle.

However, she wasn't competing with Leng Yaozhu for control, but shielding her from the other five Divine Realm Cores' counterattack.

Immediately after, the Demon Empress's Ocean Cauldron also flew out and landed in Lan Fozu's hands. The two cauldrons—Sky and Ocean—worked together to help Leng Yaozhu resist the five cores' assault.

"Yue'er! You…" Leng Yaozhu looked up at Gu Yue, knowing full well that one Divine Realm Core couldn't control two Divine Realms at once.

This meant the Sky and Ocean Cauldrons had to sever their connection with the Genesis Realm in order to channel the laws of the Divine Circle.

"This isn't the time to fuss. If we seize this Divine Star, humanity of the Douluo plane and the soul beasts of Genesis will have a better chance at survival." Gu Yue's voice was firm. She didn't know how long Xia Hong could hold out, so she had to help Leng Yaozhu take control as quickly as possible.

As for the Genesis Realm—she wasn't worried.

Once Leng Yaozhu seized control, they could cut off the cauldrons' connection to the Divine Circle and re-link them to Genesis. No loss at all.

However, once the Sky and Ocean Cauldrons disconnected from Genesis, only Xia Yi's Earth Cauldron remained as its sole Divine Realm Core.

The only concern for Gu Yue and the Demon Empress was whether Xia Yi would try to monopolize Genesis by preventing the reconnection of the other two cauldrons.

But would that really happen?

Even if it did, would they mind?

No.

In fact, Gu Yue and the Demon Empress hoped Xia Yi would do just that.

Especially Gu Yue—she had wanted Xia Yi to become the sole ruler of the soul beasts for a long time.

"Two Divine Realm Cores!"

Sensing the presence of the Sky and Ocean Cauldrons, the five Divine Realm Core controllers were all horrified.

The Ocean Cauldron wasn't too bad—since the Demon Empress was being held off by the Douluo Divine Realm, she had no choice but to hand it to Lan Fozu. The pressure from it wasn't overwhelming.

The real issue was Gu Yue, in the process of breaking through to above God King, personally wielding the Sky Cauldron—it nearly crushed all five of their Divine Realm Cores instantly.

"Where did all these Divine Realm Cores come from?" The five were on the verge of swearing. Since when had Divine Realm Cores become so common?

"Everyone, we have important use for the Divine Circle. Please give up your fight."

At that moment, a gentle and warm voice echoed through the Divine Circle. Yali turned into a stream of light, bursting with rich life energy, and shot straight toward the Death God's Divine Realm.

Yali—God King.

In terms of understanding of the laws, she wasn't on par with Leng Yulai or Leng Yaozhu, but her faith power was by far the greatest.

Moreover, Leng Yaozhu was busy controlling the Douluo Seal, and Leng Yulai had just clashed with Ye Yinzhu and been delayed.

These two factors allowed Yali to be the first to break through to God King.

"You—you actually broke through to God King this fast? Such powerful life energy—are you the God King of Life?" Death God Ah-Dai looked up at Yali and gripped the Pluto Sword, but didn't attack immediately.

"If you want to call me the Life God King, so be it. Give up. This Divine Star—we must have it. Your Divine Realm only has two gods. Even if I didn't come, you'd have no chance." Yali's voice was gentle, and after a pause, she added, "More importantly, even together, you and your wife aren't my match."

"I know," Death God sighed softly. Leng Yulai hadn't even broken through to God King yet and could already fight two at once.

Even if Yali wasn't stronger than Leng Yulai, now that she had broken through to God King, he couldn't handle her alone.
