Chapter 230: Gu Yuena Takes Action
The moment the Black God Sword was neutralized, the dragon claw also dissipated.
Suddenly, a woman wearing a silver long dress appeared.
That woman was none other than Gu Yuena, who had just emerged from seclusion.
At that moment, Gu Yuena's aura was at its peak. The radiant eight-colored light surrounding her seemed incomparably dazzling.
"Master, have your injuries healed?"
Bi Ji quickly came to Gu Yuena's side. As she felt the immense pressure emanating from her body, she couldn't help but feel delight mixed with awe.
As expected of the Master!
Even that terrifying Black God Sword—something Bi Ji couldn't have resisted even with her full strength—had been easily shattered by the Master.
However, what Bi Ji found even more curious was how it seemed that the Master's power had somehow advanced further.
The oppressive bloodline aura she now exuded was countless times stronger than before.
"Has the Master come out of seclusion?"
At the instant Gu Yuena's presence appeared, Di Tian and the other great beasts around the Star Dou Great Forest immediately sensed it, each filled with concern.
They didn't know whether their Master's injuries had fully healed.
Had she come out because her body had truly recovered?
Or was it because she had been forced to intervene to save Bi Ji?
In a flash, their figures turned into streaks of light, heading toward the Star Dou Great Forest's core.
If the Master's wounds hadn't healed, yet she revealed herself before the God Kings, it could bring disastrous consequences.
Before long, Di Tian and the others arrived beside Gu Yuena.
"Master, have your injuries truly healed?"
Di Tian was the first to ask.
Gu Yuena looked solemnly into the sky, nodded slightly, and replied,
"That's right. The divine herb Nine Suns Celestial Lotus has completely healed my injuries. It even allowed me to progress further. During this time, I've been stabilizing my cultivation."
"What? Master, could it be that your strength has broken through to the level of a God King?"
Bi Ji asked excitedly.
No wonder the aura she had felt just now was so overwhelming—so the Master had indeed advanced!
The many divine beasts couldn't help but feel hope stirring in their hearts. If their Master's strength truly reached the level of a God King, then the Soul Beast race would no longer need to fear the Divine Realm.
"Not yet. Right now, my strength has reached the realm of a half-step God King. Advancing any further will prove troublesome."
Gu Yuena spoke softly.
Though she hadn't yet broken through to a true God King, she was confident that, in single combat, she could still gain the upper hand against one.
"If only the Golden Dragon King were not imprisoned in the Divine Realm… then, once you and he fused again, your strength would surely surpass even the Dragon God's."
Di Tian sighed. Long ago, the Dragon God had split into two forms: the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon King was captured and imprisoned by the gods of the Divine Realm, while their Master had hidden herself on the Douluo Continent, narrowly escaping that catastrophe.
Now, as one of the Dragon God's incarnations, the Master's power had advanced again. If she were ever reunited with the Golden Dragon King, their combined form would surpass the Dragon God's peak might.
Then, they would have nothing more to fear from the Divine Realm.
Gu Yuena fell silent after hearing those words.
If she truly fused with the Golden Dragon King, then who would the new consciousness belong to—the Dragon God or herself?
In truth, she did not wish for such a fusion.
What she desired was to surpass the Dragon God through her own strength.
"Do not test my patience. Again and again, you strike at our Soul Beast race."
Gu Yuena spoke coldly toward the void, her tone laced with killing intent.
…
In the Divine Realm, the four God Kings—Destruction, Life, Evil, and Kindness—each showed shock in their eyes.
"How can this be? The Silver Dragon King was hiding on Douluo Continent all along? How did we fail to detect her after all these years?"
The God King of Life frowned deeply. They had hunted her for centuries without success.
Because the Golden Dragon King's body contained immense energy, they had not dared to kill him outright—it could destabilize the Divine Realm itself. So they had no choice but to imprison him instead.
"This is bad. The Silver Dragon King has reached the half-step God King level."
The God King of Destruction realized that events were unfolding beyond their control.
"Silver Dragon King! Even now, do you still dream of leading the Soul Beast race to overthrow the Divine Realm's rule?"
"Abandon your delusions."
The God King of Evil's tone was stern, though his mind was already scheming how to lure the Silver Dragon King into the Divine Realm.
Due to the Divine Realm's laws, they couldn't descend to Douluo Continent to act directly against her. Even if they forced their descent, it would wreak havoc upon that world.
The Silver Dragon King, who inherited the Dragon God's mastery of the elements, was especially skilled in manipulating spatial power—capturing her would be no easy feat.
For now, their only choice was to draw her into the Divine Realm, where they could strike without restraint and completely eliminate her.
"Heh. Every sin the Divine Realm has inflicted upon the Soul Beast race—I remember them all clearly. Don't worry… it won't be long before I come to settle the score myself."
Gu Yuena sneered coldly.
Eight-colored light converged in her palm, and a vast surge of destructive power roared forth toward the Divine Realm.
The devastating force, capable of annihilation itself, struck out ahead.
Gu Yuena invoked her mastery of space once more, sealing the entire Star Dou Great Forest and completely blocking the Divine Realm's sight.
"Damn it!"
The God King of Destruction and the others quickly nullified her attack. If that strike had reached the Divine Realm—already undergoing repair—it could have plunged the entire realm into ruin once again.
"This is troublesome. I remember the Asura God once infused his sword energy into the Silver Dragon King's body. Without the Divine Realm's energy nourishing her, she should never have been able to recover."
The God King of Life spoke gravely. They all remembered that previous battle vividly.
"Don't forget—the Douluo Continent has undergone strange changes recently, all linked to the Starry Auction Pavilion. It's very possible that her recovery is related to them as well."
The God King of Destruction added coldly.
As soon as his words fell, the others' expressions turned grim.
They dared not provoke the Starry Auction Pavilion. During Tang San's last attempt to test them, the Divine Realm had nearly been destroyed.
If they angered that force again, the entire Divine Realm—and even they themselves—could fall into peril.
"This matter must be planned carefully. We should make preparations within the Divine Realm now. When the Silver Dragon King eventually arrives, we must be ready to deal with her completely."
The God King of Kindness said slowly, his tone heavy with concern.
"Roar!"
As they spoke, a deafening dragon's cry suddenly echoed from the void.
That roar carried an overwhelming force of destruction, shaking the entire Divine Realm.
"Not good! The Golden Dragon King is stirring again. Could it be connected to the Silver Dragon King?"
Sensing the disturbance, the God Kings' faces changed drastically. They vanished on the spot, moving to reinforce the Golden Dragon King's seal.
If he broke free, they would be doomed.
