Chapter 400: Get Lost, I Am the True Asura God!
The cold and lifeless void of space was far from the breathtaking beauty that people imagined when gazing up at the night sky. Instead, it was filled with an eerie stillness and overwhelming darkness.
That was precisely why, when Han Li's golden arrow began to form, it shone with unparalleled brilliance.
"He's… actually attacking us first?"
At the forefront, Destruction involuntarily slowed down, his tone filled with disbelief.
"Isn't that obvious?"
Asura's voice was filled with killing intent, his fury raging uncontrollably.
Everything related to Han Li had been meticulously planned by him. Yet now, not only had he completely lost control, but he had also been slapped in the face.
As someone naturally prone to anger, combined with the corrosive influence of Asura's divine power, he was on the verge of exploding.
Before the others could even respond, Asura accelerated forward
A god must not be humiliated.
Han Li's actions were a blatant provocation.
Before releasing his arrow, he had even glanced at the Divine Realm, as if issuing a warning before turning his aim toward them.
And what truly enraged Asura was the aura of the people around Han Li.
He had been monitoring Han Li this entire time, and yet, Han Li had still managed to align himself with soul beasts.
What else had they missed?
He was the one primarily responsible for watching Han Li. During the five gods' collective surveillance, he was certain Han Li had no opportunity to make contact with them.
But after they split up, Han Li's first point of surveillance had been him
Which meant… he had failed his duty.
As one of the Five Divine Kings, and more importantly, as an enforcer, this was something he could not accept.
And so, under the watchful eyes of the others, he charged forward without hesitation, gripping the Asura Demon Sword.
Trying to establish a long range advantage?
Dream on.
It was just an arrow, nothing more.
He could break it apart with a single slash.
Han Li needed to be suppressed immediately. He had to understand that just because he inherited the Asura God's position, it did not mean he could arrogantly defy the Divine Realm.
Dressed in his dark red divine armor, Asura's blood red eyes burned with cold bloodlust as he swung his sword at the golden arrow.
"Slash."
As his blade struck, he deliberately uttered a single word, unleashing an immense pressure toward Han Li, attempting to intimidate him.
But to his shock, Han Li merely smiled
Not only was he completely unaffected, but there was even a hint of mockery in his gaze.
…Huh?
Asura's expression hardened.
He turned to look at the shattered arrow
But instead of dissipating, the fragments reformed into countless smaller arrows, accelerating toward the Divine Realm.
His real target was the Divine Realm?!
And more importantly
What the hell was this?!
The total energy output of the attack had been reduced, yet its lethality remained high.
Not good!
Asura immediately spun around, preparing to intercept the incoming projectiles
But at that moment
Behind him, another surge of energy erupted.
And this time
It was even stronger.
Forced into a difficult position, Asura had no choice but to block
Yet just as his Asura Demon Sword was about to make contact with the arrow
It tilted its tip upward, flashed with a silver glow, and vanished into thin air.
The next moment, it reappeared
Already merged with the first wave of arrows.
Together, they struck the Divine Realm's energy barrier.
CRACK!
A shattering sound echoed
The Divine Realm's outer barrier fractured as cracks rapidly spread.
But before the arrow's energy could fully exhaust itself
The barrier repaired itself.
"Ah… What a shame."
Han Li's voice echoed through the dark void, vibrating through space as he smirked at the five divine kings standing before him.
He completely ignored the Divine Realm deities who had rushed to the edges of the barrier in alarm.
To Han Li, anyone below the Divine King level in the Divine Realm was nothing more than fodder
One arrow, one corpse.
There was no need to acknowledge them.
The fact that the five Divine Kings hadn't let them join the battle made it clear
They knew it too.
Not every First Class God could be like Rong Nianbing.
…As for Dai Yuhao?
Let's not even mention him.
Asura's body stiffened.
He had been completely played.
And standing beside him, the other four Divine Kings had grim expressions.
Even though Han Li had only fired two arrows, their attack tier was undeniably on par with a Divine King.
Leaving everything else aside
Purely in terms of raw energy attacks, Han Li's power already exceeded the Life Goddess.
And this…
Was merely his casual attack.
A move derived from his old soul skill, at that.
This alone made them hesitant to act recklessly.
More importantly
It wasn't that no one had tried to intervene.
The moment Han Li fired his second arrow, Evil had already activated his spatial laws to interfere.
Yet he had lost control.
That was what truly disturbed them.
And finally
They all noticed the twelve glowing rings behind Han Li, faintly pulsing.
These were nothing like the divine rings they possessed.
If their divine rings were merely manifestations of divine power and divine consciousness,
Then Han Li's rings
Were physical embodiments of fundamental laws.
Even before direct combat had begun, the five Divine Kings could feel that the laws they had mastered were being subtly suppressed.
This was particularly true for Destruction and Life it was almost impossible to believe that their Supreme Laws, which should reign above all, were being constrained when facing Han Li.
And Asura?
His situation was even worse.
With both Asura's power and its counteracting force, the Rakshasa's power, clashing within Han Li, he was overcome by a deep, unshakable premonition
If he faced Han Li alone, he would be instantly cut down.
Among the five, only Evil and Kindness fared slightly better.
Yes, only slightly.
They could sense that Han Li's aura contained laws similar to theirs, making it unlikely that he could overpower them.
However, they also knew
Their Supreme Laws would likely struggle to suppress Han Li as well.
And worst of all
Beside Han Li stood the Silver Dragon King, her cold gaze fixed upon them, emanating an aura that was just as powerful as any of the Divine Kings.
In fact, Life and Asura, who were both weakened for different reasons, might not even be able to defeat her in a one on one fight.
For the first time
The five Divine Kings found themselves at a standstill.
They had arrived with overwhelming momentum, expecting to dominate the battlefield
But now, they realized the power gap was far smaller than they had anticipated.
They had yet to unleash their exclusive super artifacts, but
After witnessing Han Li's casual ability to bypass them and directly attack the Divine Realm, they hesitated.
They wanted Douluo Planet, yes
But if the Divine Realm itself was destroyed in the process, the consequences would be unacceptable.
"Why so quiet, gentlemen? Didn't you come all this way to seize Douluo?"
Han Li smirked, casually stepping aside
He even gestured politely, as if graciously inviting them forward.
Han Li was a petty man.
He enjoyed nothing more than putting his enemies in awkward situations.
The universe fell into an eerie silence.
"…Han Li, don't push your luck "
Asura gripped his sword tightly, his rage threatening to explode
But just as he was about to charge, an icy killing intent stopped him in his tracks.
"Who the hell do you think you are?"
Han Li's voice sharpened into a scornful snarl.
"Know your place. Who am I, and who are you? Watch your tone when speaking to me."
"I am the current Asura God. You, an old relic, have already abdicated. You are nothing more than an unemployed has been. So why are you interrupting when the Divine Realm's Law Enforcer is speaking?"
"Before you even think of speaking, you will first address me by my title and wait for permission."
"If you dare to overstep your bounds, I am fully within my rights to arrest you on the spot."
Han Li's voice was laced with venom, yet his mockery was spoken with perfect legitimacy.
His words left not just the Divine Kings, but even Gu Yue, completely stunned.
Because…
He wasn't wrong.
Han Li may not have fully anchored his godhood in the Asura God's position, but he had inherited it as part of his divine foundation.
By all technicalities, he was the rightful Asura God.
Among the Divine Kings, only he had the actual authority to claim the title.
Across from him
Asura turned crimson with rage.
A god infamous for his unshakable coldness, yet today
Not only did his eyes burn red, but even his neck flushed with humiliation.
He had never been so publicly disgraced in his entire existence.
His fury erupted, and he raised his sword, preparing to charge forward and cut down the shameless brat before him
Only for Evil to step forward, blocking his path.
Destruction even grabbed his arm, shaking his head.
To be perfectly honest
Even though Asura was technically on their side
Destruction was struggling to suppress his laughter.
After countless years of rivalry, he had never seen Asura lose his composure so badly.
"So, are you acknowledging yourself as a Divine King of the Divine Realm?"
Evil furrowed his brows.
He didn't believe Han Li's bullshit for a second
But this was a way to break the stalemate.
If they could use this to absorb Douluo peacefully, it would strengthen the Divine Realm significantly.
Even if it meant humiliating Asura
He'd just have to deal with it.
Once they assimilated Douluo, suppressing Han Li would be far easier.
The Divine Realm had seen plenty of rebellious gods before
Yet all of them eventually bowed their heads.
"I acknowledge it, of course. Why wouldn't I?"
Han Li's grin widened
"Asura's position is real, isn't it?"
"Then "
Evil began to speak
Only for Han Li to cut him off again.
"Wait, I'm not finished."
"Just because I acknowledge it, doesn't mean I trust you."
"The way you handle divine inheritance is always full of shady tricks."
"Do you really think I'd be stupid enough to trust you?"
Han Li waved a finger in front of his face.
"Then what do you propose?"
Evil's frown deepened.
"Simple."
"As the current Asura God, I intend to carry out my duties as the Divine Realm's Law Enforcer."
"You don't have a problem with that, do you?"
Han Li didn't even bother hiding his intentions
His piercing gaze locked directly onto the ashen faced Asura
A twisted grin stretching across his lips.
