Chapter 617: Gu Yue vs. Tang San

Tang San had already discovered the method to break through beyond the God King. But if he were to cultivate normally, slowly comprehending the laws of power above the God King level, it might take him tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years—perhaps he might never break through at all.

Just thinking about spending the next tens or even hundreds of millions of years in seclusion to cultivate made Tang San's scalp tingle.

Spending tens or hundreds of millions of years just to break through beyond the God King—this was something Tang San could never accept.

To break through sooner, the first thing Tang San thought of was the God of Kindness and the God of Evil.

In the Douluo Divine Realm, there had long been a legend.

It was said that the Creator God split his own power and created the Douluo Divine Realm. Among this power, Life and Kindness laid the foundation of the realm, while Destruction and Evil formed its opposite. Only a world with shadows is a real world, and Shura's Slaughter established the order of the Douluo Divine Realm.

Creation and Order became the core of the Divine Realm.

After completing the creation of the Douluo Divine Realm, the Creator God transformed into five seeds and rooted himself within the realm. These five seeds were: Kindness, Evil, Life, Destruction, and Shura.

As countless years passed, the five seeds gradually developed their own intelligence. They became the five origins of the Divine Realm—the five Supreme Gods of the Douluo Divine Realm.

Kindness and Evil represented thought and emotion, while Life and Destruction created the realm itself. If Kindness and Evil were the sky of the Divine Realm, then Life and Destruction were its earth. In between, Shura harmonized everything between sky and earth, giving rise to the Douluo Divine Realm.

Simply put, Life and Destruction were the Creator's power; Kindness and Evil were the Creator's thoughts; and Shura was the Creator's law.

This was also why the power of creation that came from the fusion of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction could not last long.

Without the constraints of thought and law, the Power of Creation would quickly dissipate.

But what Tang San wanted wasn't a fleeting burst of creation—he wanted to become the Creator God, surpassing even the God King. For that, he needed to gather all five of the Creator God's seeds.

He already possessed the Shura Seed, and the Seeds of Life and Destruction had fallen into his hands when the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction perished.

Now, after slaying the God of Kindness and the God of Evil, he obtained the Kindness and Evil Seeds as well. All five seeds of the Creator God in the Douluo Divine Realm were now in his possession.

A pressure beyond that of a God King immediately erupted from within Tang San's body.

"Sea God!" Even now, Zhou Weiqing and Rong Nianbing found it hard to believe that the kind and righteous Tang San they knew could commit such acts.

"Dad!"

"Third Brother!"

Not just Zhou Weiqing and Rong Nianbing—even Tang Wutong and Xiao Wu felt that this Tang San was unfamiliar to them.

"Still not enough!" Tang San ignored Tang Wutong and Xiao Wu. He grinned as thick, strange appendages burst from his back. They were jointed like limbs, extremely sharp at the tips—eight in total—and in an instant they unfurled from his back and stabbed downward.

Super Divine Weapon: Eight Spider Lances!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!In eight muffled sounds, the already-dead Gods of Kindness and Evil, along with the heavily injured Zhou Weiqing and Rong Nianbing, were all impaled by the Eight Spider Lances.

Each person was pierced by two lances—through their hearts and brains.

Their lives ended in an instant.

Like the God of Kindness and the God of Evil, Rong Nianbing and Zhou Weiqing looked at Tang San with disbelief in their eyes even in death.

Under the terrifying devouring power of the Eight Spider Lances, the bodies of the four God Kings rapidly shriveled.

"Nianbing!""Fatty!"

One cry after another rang out as a group of women flew at Tang San, attacking with all their strength, trying to retrieve the bodies of Rong Nianbing and Zhou Weiqing.

"Living would only bring you pain. Let me help you end it. Dying together with your loved ones—isn't that a form of happiness too? Besides, I'll use your power to help me ascend to the pinnacle above the God Kings."Tang San's Eight Spider Lances extended madly like Blue Silver Grass, and in a series of horrible squelching sounds, the women were impaled like skewers on a stick.

From the moment Tang San was attacked by the Demon Emperor Lan Fozu to now, only a moment had passed.

Whether it was the Gods of Kindness and Evil, or Zhou Weiqing and Rong Nianbing, they trusted Tang San too much.

And being heavily injured already, they had no chance of survival when he ambushed them.

As for the wives of Rong Nianbing and Zhou Weiqing, they were only secondary or tertiary gods. In Tang San's eyes now, they were as good as free offerings.

"Stop him!"Lan Fozu and the Demon Emperor didn't hesitate. Dinghai Staff smashed down again. Not only them, but also Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai, the sisters, charged at Tang San.

"You're strong—so what? I am now beyond a God King. Do you really think a bunch of ants can bite an elephant to death?" Tang San laughed wildly. As his power surged, the Eight Spider Lances grew even more terrifying, stabbing at the Demon Emperor and the other women.

Though the attacks were straightforward, they made even the Demon Emperor's group retreat repeatedly—they felt a mortal threat.

"I'll kill him. You handle the other one!"Gu Yue's Dragon God Spear shot forth, enveloped in nine-colored divine light, drowning Tang San completely.

A God-King-surpassing aura spread—Gu Yue had broken through at last.

"Today, I break through beyond the God King and kill you to restore balance!"Tang San sneered. In his right hand was the Shura Sword, in his left the Destruction Staff, and behind him appeared the Ancient Tree of Life. He clashed directly with Gu Yue.

"Back then the Shura God killed the Dragon God. Today, I don't mind doing it again—to let you know what a true Creator God is!"Having absorbed the five seeds of the Creator God from the Douluo Divine Realm and the power of four God Kings, Tang San now felt an overwhelming sense of invincibility.

He could sense that Gu Yue's aura was weaker than his.

So he felt no fear.

The Eight Spider Lances stabbed out repeatedly, each strike stronger than even his previous Shura Blood Sword's full-force attacks.

"Power stolen by force—how much of it can you really wield?"Gu Yue snorted coldly. Her Dragon God Spear thrust forward again and again, radiating nine-colored divine light. Within that light, worlds were born and destroyed, like a cosmic creation and apocalypse.

The spectacle was terrifying.

Tang San's Eight Spider Lances dissolved instantly upon entering the nine-colored light.

The terrifying energy followed the lances back into Tang San's body, shaking him so hard he coughed up blood and staggered back.

Tang San and Gu Yue were different—Gu Yue had broken through on her own, while Tang San had seized the Dao Fruit of the Creator God and devoured the life force of four God Kings to achieve his breakthrough.
