Chapter 352: Successful Breakthrough
Jiang Li stood to the side, his gaze fixed tightly on Lei Yao, ready to act at any moment if needed.
He could clearly see Lei Yao's body constantly being tempered by the thunder.
His divine soul was likewise being refined in the baptism of lightning, growing ever stronger.
Ling Yun, while comprehending the power of the plane core, continually paid attention to Lei Yao's condition, her eyes filled with anticipation.
As time passed, the sky's lightning became even more violent. Bolts of thunderstormed down like Heaven's punishment, striking Lei Yao again and again.
Yet with each assault, Lei Yao's aura only grew stronger.
The thunder power surrounding him gradually condensed into a colossal phantom of a Thunder God.
The spectral figure held a Tower of Thunder, radiating a pressure that seemed to dominate the world.
"Break for me!"
When the final bolt of thunder, carrying an aura of divine power, descended—
Lei Yao suddenly stood, raising both hands high.
The power of lightning surrounding him exploded outward, colliding head-on with the descending thunderbolt.
"Boom!"
A tremendous crash shook the heavens, and the lightning dispersed.
The Thunder God phantom slowly merged back into Lei Yao's body.
At that moment, Lei Yao's entire being emitted a rich divine brilliance.
His aura stabilized completely at the divine realm—he had become the newest god of Douluo Continent.
Lei Yao slowly opened his eyes, a hint of delight flashing within.
He bowed deeply to Jiang Li and said respectfully, "Thank you, Pavilion Master, for guarding my breakthrough. Lei Yao has lived up to expectations and ascended to the divine level!"
Jiang Li looked at him and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. Now that you've become a god, your strength has increased tremendously. The Star Auction Pavilion has gained yet another safeguard."
Just then, Jiang Li's expression shifted slightly.
His divine sense caught a familiar aura coming from the farthest reaches of the sky.
That aura carried the oppressive might of the God Realm—it was rapidly approaching Douluo Continent.
"It seems the people from the God Realm... still couldn't hold back."
Jiang Li whispered softly, his eyes flashing with curiosity.
After some thought, he quickly pieced everything together.
It likely had to do with the disturbances caused earlier by that person from another plane.
After all, he understood that person's intent—to absorb the faith power of Douluo Continent and, through it, influence the plane's origin power.
That person's true goal was quite possibly the plane's very source itself.
Jiang Li had no intention of interfering for now.
But if the Blood Demon went too far—if he intended to destroy Douluo Continent—then Jiang Li would never stand idly by.
After all, his foundation lay in this world. If Douluo Continent's plane were destroyed, wouldn't that mean he would be left without a home?
Considering this, he knew he could not allow the plane's source to be annihilated.
Still, everything was under his control.
Since that was the case, it would be better to let the Blood Demon and the people from the God Realm fight and restrain each other. And once both sides were wounded, he would step in and reap the benefits.
He turned to Lei Yao and Ling Yun, saying calmly, "The situation in Douluo Continent is about to become even more chaotic. We must prepare ourselves."
He continued, "You two should return to the Star Auction Pavilion and hold your positions. I have some matters to handle outside for a while."
Lei Yao, still stabilizing his newly elevated divine aura, immediately nodded.
"Pavilion Master, don't worry. With me here, nothing will go wrong at the Auction Pavilion."
Ling Yun also ended her comprehension of the plane core and said softly, "Pavilion Master, if anything changes, I will notify you through divine soul transmission right away."
Jiang Li nodded faintly. His figure flickered, and he vanished, leaving behind only a faint ripple in space.
In the next instant, he reappeared inside a secret chamber within the Star Auction Pavilion.
At the center of the chamber hovered a translucent gemstone—the Heavenly Mystery Pearl he had once drawn from the system.
The Heavenly Mystery Pearl could probe all things in existence, though its reach was still limited by his current cultivation.
"Heavenly Mystery Pearl, show me—who is descending from the God Realm, and why?"
Jiang Li gathered a strand of divine soul power at his fingertip and gently touched the pearl.
The Heavenly Mystery Pearl immediately flared with light. A grayish beam shot upward, piercing the skies.
It stretched toward the path linking Douluo Continent and the God Realm.
The probing power of the Heavenly Mystery Pearl was silent, dissolving into the heavens themselves.
Even a God King–level being might not notice its presence.
Moments later, feedback arrived. A clear image formed before Jiang Li's eyes.
In the image stood a man in a flowing blue robe, holding a golden trident, exuding vast and majestic Sea God power.
That familiar aura and appearance—it was none other than Tang San, one of the five enforcers of the God Realm!
What drew Jiang Li's attention even more was that Tang San's direction was not toward the Star Auction Pavilion or Shrek Academy, but the region where the Blood Demon had recently been active.
"Interesting… has Tang San already sensed the Blood Demon's traces?"
A playful smile tugged at Jiang Li's lips; his curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
"I was wondering who the God Realm would send. To think it would be the famous Tang San himself. Perfect—let's see how he handles the Blood Demon."
He raised his hand, recalling the Heavenly Mystery Pearl, then turned and strode out of the chamber while sending a voice transmission through divine consciousness: "Soul Heaven Emperor, come join me. Let's enjoy the spectacle of this divine battle—we can't miss such a show."
"Yes, Pavilion Master!"
The Soul Heaven Emperor responded immediately.
At that moment, both Jiang Li and the Soul Heaven Emperor transformed into streaks of flowing light, vanishing from the stars and racing toward the Blood Demon's location.
Their speed was extraordinary, far beyond that of ordinary gods.
As they passed, the space around them only trembled faintly, leaving no trace behind.
Clearly, Jiang Li had suppressed his aura, not intending to reveal himself too soon.
Meanwhile, above Douluo Continent, Tang San advanced steadily through the skies, supported by the power of the Sea God.
The golden trident in his hand glowed brilliantly.
Each swing resonated with the forces of heaven and earth.
Unlike his past descents as a divine projection, this time, he had come in his true form—to ensure the complete elimination of any threat to the plane's source.
"The faith power's fluctuations earlier were far from normal. Someone from another realm must be invading Douluo Continent's origin."
Tang San frowned, his divine sense spreading in every direction like a vast net.
"If this is the work of the Star Auction Pavilion, then this is the perfect time to settle our old scores."
"But if it's an intruder from another plane—they must not be allowed to succeed!"
Wherever he passed, the surrounding space trembled.
The oppressive might of a God King surged like invisible waves, sweeping over the mountains and rivers below.
Soul masters and soul beasts on the ground, sensing the divine pressure, dropped to their knees, trembling and motionless.
