While Yali was conversing with the Goddess of Life, the battle between Leng Yaozhu and Ah Yin was also drawing to a close.
Ah Yin was indeed worthy of being the mother of Sea God Tang San, the life core of the Douluo Plane, and a former god-level being.
Even though her evolution was not yet complete, she was still incredibly powerful.
As soon as she took action, the aura of life filled the world. Vines shot out from all directions. Even beings at the level of divine officers could be entangled by her. Coupled with the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in her hand—an artifact rivaling divine weapons—she could fight against a third-level god.
"Hmph! I am not human. If you want to suppress me, you're not capable yet." Ah Yin snorted coldly. Tang Hao had long told her that Leng Yaozhu's current abilities had a certain suppressive effect on human soul masters. She raised her Blue Silver Overlord Spear high, and the endless laws of the Douluo Plane quickly gathered into it.
This was Ah Yin's advantage: she was the life core of the Douluo Plane. In this realm, aside from Tang Hao, the Plane's master, no one had a deeper affinity with its laws than her.
With one thrust of her spear, the heavens and earth dimmed. It was as if the entire Douluo Plane had been drained.
A strike imbued with the full might of the Douluo Plane appeared almost instantaneously in front of Leng Yaozhu.
Faced with such a terrifying blow, no one doubted it—any Limit Douluo, demigod, or quasi-god would die upon contact.
"Petty clown. Royal Judgment!" Leng Yaozhu shouted. In that moment, she retracted both her battle armor and martial soul. There was no longer a trace of soul power fluctuation on her, but the pressure she exuded became even more terrifying and awe-inspiring.
In her hand, the Emperor's Sword emitted a vast golden radiance that enveloped the sky. The golden light soared, her long hair flew, and her flowing robes billowed in the wind. A dragon and phoenix spiraled above her head, giving her an extraordinary presence—like a female emperor descending upon the world. With a single step, she shattered all the incoming vines.
Leng Yaozhu cast a cold glance at Ah Yin, then slashed with her sword. A dragon and a phoenix shot out from the Emperor's Sword, charging toward Ah Yin's devastating spear strike along with the sword light.
In that instant, the horrifying pressure made Yu Guanzhi and the others gape in disbelief. They had always known Leng Yaozhu was powerful, but not to this extent.
The terrifying pressure—even though it wasn't directed at them—made them feel an almost uncontrollable urge to kneel and submit.
Crack! Crack!
Ah Yin's Blue Silver Overlord Spear shattered into several pieces.
The sword light from the Emperor's Sword struck Ah Yin directly. She dared not take the attack in human form and had to transform into the Ancient Tree of Life to dodge. Even so, she lost a large number of branches and leaves to the sword strike.
"Kill!" Escaping death, Ah Yin once again gathered the laws of the Douluo Plane and attacked Leng Yaozhu. At the same time, countless Blue Silver Emperor vines erupted from all directions, carrying Tang Wulin and his companions away at high speed.
"You think you can leave without leaving something behind?" Leng Yaozhu snorted. With a single step that covered ten thousand miles, she instantly caught up.
If it were just Ah Yin alone, using the Douluo Plane's laws, she might indeed be able to escape. But trying to flee while taking so many others with her? That was impossible.
"That depends on what you choose to do." Ah Yin spoke coldly as she fled. Raising her hand, a spinning green Blue Silver Grass leaf flew directly toward Xia Yi.
Attack what the enemy must protect.
Though it was a casual strike, it was no less than the peak of a Limit Douluo's power.
Ah Yin didn't believe Leng Yaozhu wouldn't save Xia Yi.
"Hmph! You think I don't exist?" Yali sneered. The Heaven-Holding Spear appeared in her hand. With a single thrust, a white-hot light swallowed the incoming Blue Silver Grass leaf.
"Divine Origin Realm spiritual power!" Seeing Yali take action, everyone present except Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu was stunned—Yali's spiritual power had also reached the Divine Origin Realm.
Yali had only just broken through the Limit stage. How had her spiritual power already reached Divine Origin?
When did Divine Origin become as common as cabbage?
"You filthy traitor, is this the benefit you gained from betraying Shrek Academy and Yun Ming?" Long Yeyue, being carried away by the Blue Silver Grass, gnashed her teeth, full of resentment.
When Yali first joined Shrek Academy, she was already a Limit Douluo.
At that time, Long Yeyue herself was only a Soul Sage.
Now Yali's cultivation had surpassed hers. How could she accept that?
Almost instinctively, Long Yeyue convinced herself that Yali must have betrayed Shrek and Yun Ming just to break through to the Divine Origin Realm.
"Yes, that must be it." Long Yeyue nodded firmly, as if that thought helped her regain balance.
She had once been a contemporary genius alongside Qian Gu Diting, Chen Xinjie, the Ghost Emperor, and the Nether Emperor. She had endured being surpassed by her peers—but now even juniors were overtaking her, and one of them was the "traitor" Yali.
Her pride would never allow her to accept it, so she could only comfort herself with excuses.
Although Yali had not been studying the Huangdi Neijing and the Hetu Luoshu for as long as Leng Yaozhu, unlike Yaozhu—who was constantly busy—Yali had few distractions. She could devote herself to cultivation far more consistently.
On top of that, the Goddess of Life occasionally guided her, which greatly accelerated her progress.
With the Huangdi Neijing, the Hetu Luoshu, daily cultivation alongside Xia Yi, and mentoring from the Goddess of Life, Yali's spiritual power had long since broken into the Divine Origin Realm.
In fact, if she were willing, she could fully absorb the divine power of faith within her using the Huangdi Neijing, and her soul power could break through to godhood.
But Yali didn't want to—or perhaps she didn't dare—become a god yet.
The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction had both been helping Yali ascend to godhood.
They even hoped Yali would form a god position and anchor it within Leng Yaozhu's God Realm core, using her as a bridge to transmit the Douluo Plane's spatial coordinates to the universe.
Unfortunately, to this day, Yali had not agreed to become a god.
Currently, if Yali got serious, not to mention Ah Yin's casual attack—even if Leng Yaozhu were replaced by Yali to face Ah Yin, she would be able to hold her own.
She might not win, but Ah Yin wouldn't defeat her either.
Long Yeyue still hoped to bring the Seven Great Devils and Chen Xinjie to deal with Yali.
Even without Leng Yaozhu or Gu Yue, Yali alone could face Long Yeyue, Chen Xinjie, and the Seven Devils.
Leng Yulai had never been worried about them.
What she was truly concerned about… was whether Poseidon would join the fray.
Although Poseidon had yet to regain his full strength—
Who knew whether the once-mighty Sea God had left behind some method to quickly restore god-level power?
