Qi Lin frowned, looking at the Sea God who was high above, as if proclaiming an imperial decree.
Someone wants to kill him?
This was clearly not putting him in their eyes!
Qi Lin's thought was simple: don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble.
Since they weren't giving him face, he didn't need to be polite either.
With a thought, an ice-blue Qi Lin phantom appeared behind Qi Lin.
Immediately, the space beneath Qi Lin's feet trembled, erupting with wave-like ripples.
His body then abruptly vanished from its original spot, reappearing directly opposite the Sea God.
His speed was so immense that even the Sea God couldn't react in time.
Qilin Step!
The Sea God's pupils suddenly constricted, and a strong sense of warning surged in his heart.
The moment Qi Lin suddenly appeared before him, he felt his scalp tingle, and a prickling sensation on his back arose.
But before he could react, Qi Lin had already struck again, unleashing a punch.
The fist rapidly magnified in the Sea God's eyes, but what he saw didn't seem like a fist at all, but rather a Qi Lin phantom, radiating boundless divine might.
Qilin Fist!
After Qi Lin threw his punch, the Sea God seemed to suddenly be struck by a body-fixing spell, allowing Qi Lin's fist to land on him.
Boom!
A thunderous roar suddenly echoed in the sky, and the Sea God's body was instantly engulfed by the Qi Lin, vanishing without a trace.
Only Qilin Step for walking, only Qilin Fist for fighting.
In that instant, Qi Lin directly triggered the Qilin Assault Technique's hundredfold combat power, instantly reducing the Sea God to ashes with a single punch.
Almost simultaneously, on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi's body suddenly trembled, and a look of disbelief flashed across her face.
"How could my connection with Lord Sea God be severed without any warning?!"
As the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi had cultivated to her current level by relying on the Sea God's power of faith. Therefore, after the Sea God descended to the lower realm, she had always maintained a faint connection with him, allowing her to roughly sense his whereabouts.
But just now, that faint connection between her and the Sea God had suddenly broken off without any warning.
How could this be!
Could something have happened to Lord Sea God?
But on the Douluo Continent, who could pose a threat to Lord Sea God?
Aside from Sea God Island, the Divinities of the God Realm also sensed the Sea God's demise.
In an instant, the entire God Realm was shaken!
The God Realm immediately convened another emergency meeting!
However, this time, during the God Realm meeting, the three God Kings appeared frighteningly calm.
Even the Asura God was silent, looking uncommunicative.
The three had been constantly observing the events on Douluo Star, and naturally, they had witnessed the scene where the Sea God was casually struck down by Qi Lin, like a roadside creature.
It was too exaggerated. Was he really just a newly ascended Divinity?
To kill an experienced First-Rank Divinity with one punch—let alone a newly ascended Divinity—even they would find it impossible to one-punch the Sea God unless he offered no defense whatsoever.
In the Council Hall, although the other Divinities also sensed the demise of a Divinity, they did not know the specific reason.
After all, who would idly stare at Douluo Star all the time!
Of course, even if they wanted to stare at Douluo Star all the time, they didn't have that authority.
And when the Divinities learned the cause of the Sea God's death, they were even more astonished.
"How is that possible? The Sea God is an experienced First-Rank Divinity; his strength is top-tier even among First-Rank Divinities. How could he be killed by Qi Lin with one punch?!"
"Three God Kings, what exactly is going on? Isn't Qi Lin a newly ascended Divinity?"
"Could it be that he is the reincarnation of a God King-level powerhouse from another God Realm?"
The Divinities present naturally knew that the universe was vast and boundless, containing more than just their God Realm, so they couldn't help but speculate.
And as soon as this was said, it immediately gained the approval of the Divinities.
If Qi Lin wasn't the reincarnation of a God King-level powerhouse, how could he, immediately upon becoming a Divinity, be capable of killing the Sea God?
As the Asura and the other two listened to the Divinities' discussions, their gazes inadvertently met.
They knew that if he were merely a reincarnated God King, Qi Lin would absolutely not be able to instantly kill the Sea God with one punch right after becoming a Divinity.
If he were the reincarnation of a powerhouse even stronger than a God King, then it would make more sense.
Listening to the Divinities' discussions, Destruction rubbed his brows.
"Alright, stop arguing, let's first discuss what we should do next!"
"Qi Lin's strength has far exceeded our expectations. Asura, you were the one who insisted on annihilating those three Spirit Beasts beside Qi Lin. Now, what do you suggest we do?"
Destruction's expression was very grim, and he felt a great deal of regret in his heart.
If he had known Qi Lin possessed such strength, he would never have agreed to the Asura God's proposal.
After all, if the God Realm could gain a powerhouse like Qi Lin, it would undoubtedly become even more prosperous.
But now, let alone winning over Qi Lin, he was afraid that Qi Lin might hate the entire God Realm because of this matter.
Qi Lin's strength was at least God King-level. If he insisted on being an enemy of the God Realm, even if they could subdue him, they would likely have to pay an unknown immense price.
The Asura God's expression stiffened, and the look in his eyes flickered uncertainly. He said in a deep voice, "How was I to know his strength could reach such a level?"
At this moment, the God of Life's tone was no longer gentle as before. She coldly snorted, "Asura, stop talking nonsense. You were the one who insisted on annihilating those three Spirit Beasts beside Qi Lin."
The Asura God's expression was cold as his gaze lingered on the God of Life. After three or four seconds of silence, he suddenly looked at Destruction beside him and said,
"Destruction, you should be able to feel that our strength has reached the limit of what we can achieve. Without other opportunities, perhaps even tens or hundreds of thousands of years from now, there will be no further progress. Don't you want to advance further?"
"That Qi Lin, immediately upon becoming a Divinity, displayed God King-level combat power. What does this indicate?"
"It indicates that even if he isn't the reincarnation of a powerhouse above the God King level, he must possess an astonishing secret."
"If we can obtain this secret, our strength might very well advance even further."
The Asura God spoke slowly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Destruction's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of temptation flashing within them.
Not only him, but the Divinities in the Council Hall were also the same.
Beside him, the God of Life looked at the Asura God in disbelief, shocked, "Asura, are you insane? Do you want to be completely irreconcilable with Qi Lin?"
"I want to know why you have been targeting Qi Lin from the very beginning, even going so far as to make a mountain out of a molehill and send the Sea God to annihilate those three Spirit Beasts beside Qi Lin."
The Asura God remained expressionless, indifferently saying, "What irreconcilable? I am doing all this for the God Realm!"
"Since we've already offended Qi Lin, if we can obtain the secret on him, what does it matter if we become irreconcilable with him?"
"Furthermore, from the moment he killed the Sea God, he had already made up his mind to be irreconcilable with the God Realm."
