Chapter 163: The Troublesome God King
Outside the Douluo Continent, several Divinities wore solemn expressions!
"As expected..."
The Destruction God King's low voice rang out, carrying a hint of gravity.
Boom!
The purple-black aura of destruction around him surged slightly as he attempted to use his God King-level Divine Thought to penetrate that golden light membrane and investigate the situation inside the Douluo Continent.
However, the moment his Divine Thought, which was sufficient to perceive an entire plane, touched the light membrane...
It was like a clay ox entering the sea, softly yet firmly blocked and neutralized.
He could not penetrate even a fraction!
Not even a single ripple was stirred.
"My Divine Thought cannot penetrate it either."
A flash of sternness crossed the eyes of the Destruction God King!
He presided over destruction, and his Divine Thought was the most sharp and fierce, yet at this moment, it was all in vain.
Poseidon took a step forward and spoke respectfully yet helplessly.
"Great God Kings, just as I reported before, ever since that 'heavenly curtain' appeared on the Douluo Continent, the entire Douluo Star has been completely isolated by this mysterious power of rules."
"The last information sent back by the Divine Thought I left in the ocean was about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King using the power of the heavenly curtain to Breakthrough to the million-year level, as well as the situation of that heavenly curtain announcing various rankings and bestowing rewards."
"After that, I completely lost contact!"
The Slaughter God's brow furrowed: "Strange. The trials I set up in the Slaughter City for selecting a Legacy successor also disappeared not long ago."
"My connection with the Slaughter City has been completely severed, as if it were forcibly stripped away or shielded by some kind of power."
"It seems Poseidon's words were true; the power of this 'heavenly curtain' has already interfered with the God Realm's layout on the Douluo Star."
The God King of Kindness's voice was gentle yet carried an unquestionable seriousness: "The Douluo Star is one of the important planes under our God Realm's jurisdiction. Its developmental trends concern billions of lives and the stability of faith."
"Now that it is completely isolated and the internal situation is unknown, I fear a great change will occur if this continues for long."
"It might even produce unknown variables that affect the order of the God Realm. We can no longer leave it be."
"Talking more is useless!"
The Destruction God King had the most violent temper.
The purple-black light in his eyes flared intensely.
"Since Divine Thought cannot investigate, then we shall forcibly break open this turtle shell!"
"Let's see what the hell is going on inside!"
"With five God Kings joining forces, I don't believe we can't break this barrier!"
A look of agreement flashed in the Asura God King's eyes: "Very well. We will break the barrier first, then investigate."
Poseidon hesitated to speak!
But facing the will of five God Kings, he could only bow and retreat.
However, he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.
The level of power shown by that heavenly curtain could even help a million-year Soul Beast Breakthrough.
If it could even interfere with his Sea God power, it was probably not that simple.
The five God Kings no longer hesitated, their figures dispersing to occupy different positions.
"Break!"
The five God Kings shouted in unison!
Five beams of divine light, each a different color but all containing world-destroying power, surged like five rushing rivers of the Universe.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They slammed violently against the golden light membrane outside the Douluo Star!
The expected violent explosion and shattering of the barrier did not occur.
The golden light membrane merely rippled like a water surface into which a stone had been thrown, sending out circles of soft yet resilient ripples.
The moment the five God King-level attacks touched the ripples, they actually merged silently into the light membrane!
They failed to stir any greater waves!
Let alone breaking open the barrier!
"What?"
"Our combined strike was actually absorbed?"
In the eyes of the five God Kings, looks of disbelief appeared simultaneously.
They were the supreme Dominators of the God Realm!
A combined strike from them was enough to heavily damage or even destroy a small plane!
Yet now they could do nothing against a layer of light membrane outside a planet?
"Use all your power!!"
The Destruction God King roared, feeling that his dignity had been greatly damaged.
The other four God Kings also had ashen faces as they once again channeled even stronger divine force, even triggering the full power of their super divine artifacts!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Five beams of light, more concentrated and terrifying than before, blasted out once again!
This time, the golden light membrane was finally no longer just simple ripples.
At the core point of the light beam impact, the light membrane twisted and dented violently.
Finally, with a "shredding" sound, a tiny, extremely unstable crack only large enough for a few people to pass through was forcibly torn open!
At the edges of the crack, golden rule runes flashed and jumped frantically like electric arcs, attempting to repair it.
"It's open!"
A sharp light flashed in the Asura God King's eyes.
"Destruction, follow me inside to see what's going on!"
"The rest of you, provide support from the outside!"
The Asura God King and the Destruction God King reacted extremely quickly, their figures turning into two streaks of light as they prepared to shuttle through that crack and reach the interior of the Douluo Star.
However, at the very instant they were about to pass through the crack!
An indescribable, powerful repulsive force—as vast as a sea of stars and as cold as the rules themselves—
Exploded from within the crack!
This force was not an attack, but a kind of "refusal," a kind of "denial of permission."
Bang! Bang!
Two muffled sounds rang out as the Asura God King and the Destruction God King actually seemed to hit an invisible, indestructible wall, and were sent flying back even faster than they had gone!
The two of them staggered to a halt in the void, their faces filled with a mix of shock and fury.
"We can't get in!"
The Destruction God King growled.
"This crack only allows existences below the Divine Rank to enter!"
The Life God King immediately stepped forward, her slender fingers tapping lightly as life divine force surged toward the crack.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand and nodded with a solemn expression: "What Destruction said is correct. The crack passage is filled with a special rule Restriction, its strength... is inconceivable. It seems specifically targeted at the essence of life at our level."
"Those below the Divine Rank might be able to try passing through, but we cannot."
The God King of Kindness and the God King of Evil also tried, but were similarly blocked outside.
"This is troublesome."
The God King of Evil said in a heavy voice.
"If we cannot enter in person, we cannot truly understand the internal situation, let alone directly intervene."
Standing to the side, Poseidon felt even greater anxiety in his heart.
Even five God Kings joining forces could only open a small crack and still couldn't enter... Just how terrifying was the existence behind that heavenly curtain?
Just then!
The Asura God King's expression suddenly changed.
"Not good! This crack cannot be closed!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately tried to use divine force to repair the crack that had been forcibly torn open.
However, no matter what attribute of divine force they used, or even if they triggered their super divine artifacts again to blast the edges of the crack in an attempt to "break the law with force" and make it collapse and mend—
That crack remained as if embedded in the Douluo Star's light membrane, the golden runes on the edges flashing stubbornly, resisting all repair forces.
It remained in an unstable open state.
"The power of this heavenly curtain is preventing us from closing the passage!"
The Life God King's voice carried a rare hint of alarm.
Sea God Poseidon sucked in a breath of cold air and voiced the deepest concern in everyone's hearts.
"Great God Kings, there are hundreds and thousands of lower planes under the jurisdiction of the God Realm, and they are not completely isolated from each other."
