Facing the eager gazes of thousands upon thousands of deities, the Life God King remained unmoved, despite the advice of the Benevolent Divine King.
"I hope you won't continue to be obstinate," he said.
"Although we are deities, we must not forget our roots. Just because we have become gods does not mean we can look down on all mortal creatures and trample on their lives with impunity."
"Scoff!"
The Evil God King bared his teeth and said, "I really want to laugh. Are you teaching us what to do?"
"How did the Divine Realm produce such a holy mother freak?"
"You would make an enemy of us for the sake of mere mortals?"
Destruction also stepped forward, his body emanating purple-black energy of destruction, ready to strike.
"Life, open your eyes wide and see. See who in the entire Divine Realm supports your ideals."
"You are the one who is wrong."
The Life God King shook her head and sighed.
No more words.
"If you want to fight, then let's fight."
"Ha ha ha," laughed the Evil God King, looking up to the sky. "Since you wish to die, we will fulfill your wish."
"Boom!"
The three great Divine Kings of the Divine Realm struck all at once, showing no mercy.
The Evil God King produced a terrifying, sinister grey Demon Scythe in his hand, the blade stained with crimson blood, bizarre beyond measure.
He directly broke through space, swinging at the Life God King's head, disdainfully saying:
"Life, in terms of combat power, which of the Divine Realm Kings can you defeat?"
The Life God King's eyebrows knitted tightly, and with a wave of her hand, a giant green ancient tree appeared. Countless branches grew rapidly, entwining and blocking the terrifying Demon Scythe.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The Evil God King wielding the Demon Scythe cut through resistance as if it were nothing, severing countless branches and charging straight at the Life God King.
"Whoosh!"
Gu Yuena burst forth from the side to aid the Life God King, her hands imbued with the power of life and death borne from the two Qi of yin and Yang.
After being saved by the Life-and-Death Talisman, the source of her power had changed, now containing the power of life and death.
Just as Gu Yuena was about to land a hit on the Evil God King, there came the sounds of tearing through the air.
It was Destruction and the Benevolent Divine King striking together.
Gu Yuena had no choice but to abandon her attack on the Evil God King and counter the blows from the two great Divine Kings.
"Boom!"
After the explosion, Gu Yuena spat out blood and was sent flying backward.
Meanwhile, the Life God King, unable to shake the Evil God King, stifled a groan as her abdomen was slashed open by the Demon Scythe; blood flowed freely, floating in the void of space.
Gu Yuena and the Life God King were on the losing side, whereas the three great Divine Kings were unscathed.
Cheers of congratulation and excitement immediately erupted from the Divine Realm Army, the situation totally one-sided.
The Music Deity was immensely anxious as she watched, for she knew very well that if both the Life God King and this powerful woman were defeated, Luo Yu would have nowhere to be buried.
What to do?
What should she do now?
The Music Deity clenched her fists tightly.
The Benevolent Divine King said loudly:
"Life, I will give you another chance. While you have not made a grave error, kill this Dragon Clan Remnant beside you, and I can assure you that the Divine Realm will not pursue you afterward."
The Life God King, her jade hand covering her bleeding abdomen, saw a flash of green light and the wound rapidly began to heal.
She stubbornly looked at the Divine Kings of the Divine Realm.
She shook her head firmly.
"If our principles differ, we cannot plot together."
The Evil God King's eyes narrowed slightly, emitting grey, lifeless light.
"A life not worth mourning."
He waved the Demon Scythe again, shattering the void and striking down toward Gu Yuena and the Life God King.
Gu Yuena summoned the Silver Dragon Spear to defend, but as a newly advanced Divine King, she was far from a match for the veteran Divine King, Evil.
The Life God King, wanting to assist, faced the besiegement of the other two great Divine Kings whenever she made a move—a most vexing situation.
Moreover, they were acutely aware that it was only the three great Divine Kings who had acted; the thousands of deities behind them had not yet demonstrated their strength.
Once they made their move, it was likely that they would have nowhere to be buried.
In the Evil God King's terrifying Demon Scythe and under the joint onslaught of the other two Divine Kings, the Life God King and Gu Yuena were relentlessly beaten back.
Numerous wounds appeared all over their bodies.
Even the Life God King's healing powers were proving futile.
Because every wound carried the contamination of evil-aligned Divine Power, it was difficult to dispel and recover from.
The Destruction God King said icily,
"I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve, but it turns out you're just mindlessly seeking death. How laughable."
"Before you die, tell me where the Golden Dragon King and that brat are."
"I might consider giving you a quick end."
The Life God King and Gu Yuena responded with scornful expressions and retorted,
"Pah!"
"In your dreams!"
A murderous intent shone in the eyes of the Destruction God King.
"Then you may go ahead and die."
"Even if you don't tell me, the Golden Dragon King and that damned kid will not escape. Their deaths are certain."
The Destruction God King took over the main offensive from the Evil God King, and a Purple-Black Divine Sword emerged from his glabella. Countless purple-black thunderbolts roamed above it while the surrounding space kept being annihilated, unable to heal, forming miniature black holes.
He gestured with one hand.
"Go!"
The Purple-Black Divine Sword rapidly twirled in the air, broke through space, and thrust straight toward Gu Yuena's forehead.
The Benevolent and the Evil Divine Kings unleashed the most formidable pressuring force from their Nine Divine Rings, jointly suppressing Gu Yuena and the Life God King, causing their reactions to slow, barely able to move. They could only watch helplessly as the Purple-Black Divine Sword pierced through the void, about to impale their skulls.
Gu Yuena's pupils constricted sharply, naturally unwilling to sit still and wait for death.
She lashed out with her Silver Dragon Spear, its light ripping through the air to collide with the divine sword, trying to obstruct its speed.
"Clang!"
The Silver Dragon Spear was sent flying with a wail.
Yet the divine sword continued its unstoppable momentum.
The Life Goddess summoned the Phantom of the Ancient Life Tree, greatly weakening the divine sword's offensive, but it still advanced unstoppable towards her.
The two of them desperately released their Soul Power to form a defensive counterattack.
"Boom! Boom!"
The divine sword appeared to wobble, losing its killing power, but then they saw the eyes of the Destruction God King shine brightly, overwhelmingly tyrannical.
"Die!"
Following the roar, the surface of the Destruction Divine Sword burst with countless streaks of purple-black lightning, generating immense power.
A whooshing sound tore through the air before anyone could react.
The faces of the Life God King and Gu Yuena turned bitter.
They had tried their best, but facing the old-brand three Divine Kings who brought out super divine weapons, they were completely outclassed.
At such a level, the gap in strength was extremely narrow, and being one person short meant falling into absolute disadvantage, not to mention the enemy's single combat ability was far superior to theirs.
Two beautiful eyes mirrored the image of the Destruction Divine Sword hurtling towards them.
They forcefully broke free from the pressure of the two Divine Kings, dodging to the side, but the sentient divine sword relentlessly pursued, not letting up until they were dead.
Seeing this, the deities of the Divine Realm burst into exhilarating laughter.
"The Divine Realm is inviolable!"
"Divine Kings are inviolable!"
"Kill!"
The Destruction Divine Sword accelerated dramatically, instantly closing nearly all the distance. Gu Yuena and the Life God King knew they couldn't dodge and that if this continued they would undoubtedly be killed one by one.
They stood their ground and without any reservations, they channeled their Divine Power, readying for a deathmatch.
To buy Luo Yu the last chance for a breakthrough.
The Destruction Divine Sword approached carrying a catastrophic offensive, while Gu Yuena and the Life God King were already very weakened.
The resistive moves they made seemed so feeble and powerless.
They were about to be severely wounded and killed by the divine sword.
Just then, an incredibly dazzling pillar of light arose from Soul Land, soaring into the sky, bursting through the clouds with majestic power, and shooting directly into the universe, arriving above the battlefield…
