Chapter 163 The Tricky God King.
Outside the Douluo Continent, several gods wore serious expressions!
"As expected..."
The God King of Destruction's deep voice rang out, tinged with solemnity.
"Boom!"
His purplish-black aura of destruction surged slightly, attempting to penetrate the golden light membrane with his God King-level divine sense to investigate the interior of the Douluo Continent. However, his divine sense, capable of perceiving an entire plane, was like a mud ox entering the sea—gently yet firmly blocked and neutralized the moment it touched the light membrane.
It couldn't penetrate even a fraction!
Not even a ripple was stirred.
"My divine sense can't penetrate either."
A fierce glint flashed in the God King of Destruction's eyes!
He was the master of destruction, his divine sense the sharpest and most ruthless, yet even he was futile.
Poseidon stepped forward, speaking respectfully yet helplessly.
"My esteemed God-Kings, as I previously reported, since the appearance of that 'Sky Curtain' on Douluo Continent, the entire Douluo Star has been completely isolated by this inexplicable power of rules."
"The last message my divine sense left in the ocean transmitted was about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King using the power of the Sky Curtain to break through a million years, and the Sky Curtain announcing various rankings and bestowing rewards."
"After that, all contact was completely lost!"
The Slaughter God-King frowned deeply: "Strange, the test I set up in the Slaughter City to select successors also disappeared not long ago."
"My connection with the Slaughter City was completely severed, as if forcibly stripped or blocked by some force."
"It seems Poseidon's words were true; the power of this 'Sky Curtain' has already interfered with the God Realm's plans on Douluo Star."
The Kind God-King's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable seriousness: "Douluo Star is one of the important planes under the jurisdiction of my God Realm, and its development concerns the stability of billions of lives and faiths."
"Now completely isolated, the internal situation is unknown. If this continues, great changes may occur."
"It may even create unknown variables, affecting the order of the divine realm. We can no longer ignore this."
"Further words are useless!"
The God King of Destruction was the most violent.
His eyes blazed with a purplish-black light.
"Since divine sense cannot probe, then let's forcefully break through this tortoise shell!"
"Let's see what's going on inside!"
"With the five God Kings working together, I don't believe we can't break through this barrier!"
The God King of Asura's eyes also flashed with agreement: "Alright, break through the barrier first, then investigate."
Poseidon hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself!
But faced with the will of the five God Kings, he could only bow and retreat.
Yet, a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
The power level displayed by that sky barrier could even help a million-year-old soul beast break through.
It could even interfere with his Sea God power; it was probably not that simple.
The five God Kings no longer hesitated, their figures spreading out, each occupying a side.
"Break!"
The five God Kings shouted simultaneously!
Five beams of divine light, each a different color yet all possessing earth-shattering power, surged forth like five turbulent cosmic rivers.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
They slammed into the golden light membrane outside Douluo Star!
The anticipated violent explosion and shattering of the barrier did not occur.
The golden light membrane merely rippled gently yet resiliently, like water rippled by a stone thrown in.
The five attacks, at the God-King level, silently merged into the light membrane the instant they touched the ripples!
They failed to create any further waves!
Let alone break through the barrier!
"What?"
"Our combined attack was absorbed?"
Incredulity flashed in the eyes of the five God-Kings.
They were the supreme rulers of the God Realm!
A combined attack would be enough to severely injure, or even destroy, a small plane!
Yet, it couldn't even touch a layer of light membrane outside the planet?
"Use all your power!!"
The God King of Destruction roared, feeling utterly humiliated.
The other four God Kings were also ashen-faced, once again unleashing even stronger divine power, even drawing upon the full power of their super artifacts!
"Boom boom boom!"
Five beams of light, even more condensed and terrifying than before, blasted out again!
This time, the golden light membrane was no longer a simple ripple.
At the core of the beam's impact, the light membrane violently twisted and caved in.
Finally, with a "sizzle," it was forcibly torn open, creating a tiny, extremely unstable crack, barely wide enough for a few people to pass through!
At the edge of the crack, golden rule runes flickered and leaped wildly like arcs of electricity, attempting to repair it.
"It's open!"
A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the God King of Asura.
"Destruction, come with me to investigate!"
"You lot, provide backup outside!"
The Asura God King and the Destruction God King reacted swiftly, their figures transforming into two streaks of light, about to pierce through the crack and reach the interior of Douluo Star.
However, just as they were about to pass through the crack!
An indescribable, vast as a sea of stars, and as cold as the rules themselves, powerfully repelled them.
It erupted from within the crack!
This power was not an attack, but a "rejection," a "denial of authority."
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled sounds rang out, and the Asura God King and the Destruction God King were as if they had crashed into an invisible, indestructible wall, being violently thrown back at an even greater speed than before!
The two staggered and steadied themselves in the void, their faces filled with shock and anger.
"We can't get in!"
The Destruction God King roared.
"This crack only allows beings below the god level to enter!"
The Life God King immediately stepped forward, his slender fingers lightly touching the crack, and life divine power surged towards it.
A moment later, she withdrew her hand, nodding solemnly, "Destruction is right. The rift passage is filled with a special kind of rule restriction, the strength of which is... inconceivable, seemingly specifically targeting the life essence of our level."
"Those below the god level might be able to try to pass through, but we can't."
The Good God King and the Evil God King also tried, but were also blocked outside.
"This is troublesome."
The Evil God King said in a deep voice.
"Without being able to enter personally, we cannot truly understand the situation inside, let alone directly intervene."
Poseidon, standing to the side, was even more worried.
Even the five God Kings working together could only open a small rift, and still couldn't enter...
Just how terrifying must the being behind that curtain be?
Just then!
The Asura God King's expression suddenly changed.
"Not good! This rift cannot be closed!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately tried to repair the forcibly torn rift with divine power.
However, no matter what type of divine power they used, or even activated the super artifact again to bombard the edge of the rift in an attempt to "break the law with force" and make it collapse and heal.
The crack, however, seemed embedded in the light membrane of Douluo Star, its golden runes stubbornly flickering at the edges, resisting all repairing forces.
It remained in an unstable, open state.
"The power of this celestial canopy is preventing us from closing the passage!"
The Life God King's voice carried a rare hint of alarm.
Poseidon, the Sea God, gasped, voicing the deepest concern in everyone's hearts.
"My esteemed God Kings, the lower planes under the jurisdiction of the God Realm number in the hundreds and thousands, and are not completely isolated from each other."
