Chapter 91: War Saint

"You…" Gu Yue Na felt she could barely find words.

The Bai Yuan before her had just a moment ago been so weak that if she had been a little careless, she could have trampled him to death.

But the next moment, Gu Yue Na's divine sense told her that, with her still not fully recovered, she was very unlikely to beat him.

"Na'er, why so surprised? Didn't I already ask you what would happen if I displayed the power of a Half-step Divine King?" Bai Yuan's mouth curled up, smiling brightly as he looked at Gu Yue Na.

Gu Yue Na opened her mouth, not knowing how to reply.

Earlier Bai Yuan had indeed asked her, and she believed he wouldn't lie, but when he actually displayed it before her, it was a completely different concept from what Gu Yue Na had believed.

Bai Yuan suddenly reached out, pinching Gu Yue Na's flawless white chin, and with a mischievous grin said, "Na'er, didn't you say before that being dissatisfied was useless, and that you'd talk about it when I could finally beat you?"

Gu Yue Na's expression flustered; her pretty, almost unreal cute face instantly turned the color of a reddened apple, dazzlingly fresh and even more alluring.

At this moment, Gu Yue Na was truly panicked.

Her mind was in tangled chaos.

The earlier remark Gu Yue Na had made was just a casual tease to play with Bai Yuan, but now he was using it to shut her up.

"You… what are you trying to do?"

Gu Yue Na tried to step back, but found endless celestial qi gathering behind her, forming an invisible yet tangible wall that prevented her from moving a single step.

Bai Yuan smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Gu Yue Na only felt her heart pounding "thump thump".

Suppressing her inner panic, Gu Yue Na's face flushed, and she said gravely, "Bai Yuan, I warn you, don't act recklessly!"

Bai Yuan smiled, released his hand, then pinched Gu Yue Na's bright red, juicy cheek and said, "Na'er, I just wanted to pinch your face. What are you imagining? I don't have time for any lewd games now."

Gu Yue Na's expression froze; she suddenly wondered whether she should wait for Bai Yuan's feigned death and then deliver a finishing kick.

"Alright, no more teasing, the Divine Realm has already noticed the changes on Douluo Star." Bai Yuan's expression grew serious, and his figure vanished in an instant.

Gu Yue Na gritted her teeth, fixed her gaze on the Profound One Mirror, saw Bai Yuan within, and wanted to pull him out for a beating.

…

…

Bai Yuan flew out of the Lake of Life, looked at Di Tian, who was quietly waiting by the lake, awaiting his emergence.

"Bai Yuan, this celestial upheaval—you're behind it, right? Making such a commotion, aren't you afraid the Divine Realm will come after you?" Di Tian's golden eyes gazed at Bai Yuan, showing a hint of worry.

That worry was not only for Bai Yuan, but also for their lord.

Bai Yuan smiled, "Di Tian, rest assured, this is something Na'er and I agreed on. I must now go resolve the Abyss."

Bai Yuan's figure vanished into thin air; the spatial barrier here, which ordinary deities cannot see through, was meaningless to him.

But Di Tian was stunned.

"Na…" Di Tian opened his mouth wide, but could only utter that single syllable, his eyes unable to hide the shock.

Bai Yuan emerged from that space that does not exist in the world, stood calmly between heaven and earth, subtly feeling the world's laws, familiar with the power he wielded.

At the same time, he harnessed the power of the Five Elements Array to sense everything happening on Douluo Star, searching for what he sought.

"Has Tang San run off to Sea God Island? Bi Bi Dong actually went to the inheritance site of the Rakshasa God; the spatial fluctuations there are odd—could it be a Dragon Clan burial ground…"

Nowadays, most affairs on Douluo Star are no longer secrets to Bai Yuan; he can sense the majority of its inhabitants.

However, when Bai Yuan tried to locate where Gu Yue Na was, he sensed nothing, as if that space truly did not exist in the world.

"Deities of the Lower Realm must undergo Divine Realm Committee voting; my power is now familiar enough, I should go deal with the Abyss Saint."

Bai Yuan rode his sword, and in an instant arrived at an utterly black, lightless Abyss Passage, where nothing inside could be seen.

Accompanying Bai Yuan's arrival, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the Abyss Passage: "You finally came."

As the words fell, the previously pitch-black Abyss Passage suddenly lit up, turning into an indescribable pale hue.

Fine cracks began to appear around the Abyss Passage, and in an instant those fissures rapidly widened.

At the same time, the entire Star Dou Great Forest was engulfed by an extremely terrifying pressure, as if the heavens were collapsing, causing all beasts to tremble and crawl on the ground.

"Die!" the cold voice rang across heaven and earth.

The Abyss Passage, riddled with massive cracks, instantly exploded outward, forming an even larger spatial gateway, from which a hand—its forearm hundreds of meters long—stretched out.

It was a huge hand as white as jade, with seven fingers; no veins or scales could be seen on the arm, just pure jade-like brilliance.

The moment it appeared, the jade‑white seven‑fingered hand was instantly enveloped by nine colors, the Douluo Star's autonomous counterattack.

As a Plane Lord, a part of his true self descending into another, yet unconquered plane, naturally must endure the entire plane's frantic resistance.

Even so, the power of this palm still reached god level, and it was the kind of god level just after ascension, comparable.

At this moment Bai Yuan also understood that the near‑god Abyss Kings felt what it was like when facing his god‑level sword.

But at this very moment, Bai Yuan was still not a Half‑god.

In an instant, a howl of pain echoed throughout the Star Dou Great Forest.

"You are a Plane Lord? No! Impossible! Even if you are the Plane Lord of this planet, your strength would at most be a Second‑Tier God! There's no way you're this powerful!" The Abyss Saint's tone was full of incomprehensible words.

The forearm, hundreds of meters long, slammed down with a "boom".

With the sound, the Abyss Passage expanded many times over, returning to its lightless, pitch‑black hue.

But in the absence of light, only ordinary sight is hindered, which could not stop Bai Yuan, who possessed Half-step God Transformation Stage power.

His gaze pierced the darkness, through the remaining few layers of the Abyss Plane, and landed on the Abyss Saint at the deepest part of the Abyss.

It was a man seated upon a supreme throne.

The man's complexion was fair, his features handsome, his long hair behind him shining white, and his eyes, lacking whites, were like deep black holes, revealing no emotion.

A black robe draped his entire body, its broad shoulders flared to the sides, and a massive black cape spread behind him like endless, lightless night.

Clearly, that hand earlier was merely formed of energy.

It hadn't harmed its own body.

The two locked eyes, and the powers from their respective planes collided terrifyingly in a single thought.
