133: First Arrival in the Divine Realm

The pitch-black light gate, the moment Lin Ye and Su Qingyue stepped into it, suddenly contracted, closed, and finally vanished into thin air.

What followed was an indescribable, terrifying crushing force, as if it wanted to utterly pulverize their Divine Souls!

"Ugh!"

Even Lin Ye's powerful Physical Body, which had already advanced to the Demi-God Realm and condensed a prison suppressing divine spark, couldn't help but let out a painful groan in the face of this terrifying pressure originating from a higher plane's Law!

He only felt as if he had been thrown into a rapidly spinning, terrifying vortex composed of countless spatial turbulences!

The surroundings were no longer the viscous Chaos from before, but a void filled with endless ferocity and a sense of tearing!

Under this terrifying pressure, the Divine Power within him, as if encountering its nemesis, had its operational speed forcibly suppressed by several times!

It was as if an invisible pair of giant hands, belonging to a higher-level deity, were firmly gripping his Divine Spark, intending to completely revert his recently transcendent power back to its original form!

"Lin Ye!"

Beside him, Su Qingyue's clear, cool call, tinged with a hint of panic, reached him.

Although she had also reached the Peak of the Dharma Body Realm with the power of the divine source crystal, just a step away from being a Demi-God, her Foundation was ultimately far less profound than Lin Ye's.

At this moment, under the violent spatial turbulence and Law suppression, her exquisite face had lost all color, and her delicate body swayed precariously like a fallen leaf in a storm!

Lin Ye's heart tightened.

Without thinking, he reached out and firmly gripped her cold, soft, boneless slender hand in his palm.

He forcefully activated the vast Divine Power that had just completed its transformation within him.

The nascent form of the prison suppressing divine spark, half sacred and half demonic, suspended in the center of his Qi Sea, erupted with a dazzling black and white Divine Light, barely opening up a small space, just enough for them to stand, around the two of them, temporarily fending off the terrifying spatial turbulence!

They traveled through this void, filled with endless ferocity and a sense of tearing, for an unknown duration.

Finally!

The pitch-black void before them, like a curtain torn by a sharp blade, suddenly dissipated!

In its place was a vast, boundless new world, filled with endless shock and an ancient, desolate aura!

"Hoo..."

When their feet finally landed on the solid ground, which seemed to contain some ancient power, Lin Ye and Su Qingyue instinctively let out a long sigh of relief.

The terrifying crushing force, capable of utterly pulverizing their Divine Souls, had finally vanished.

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes.

What met his gaze was an extremely desolate wilderness!

The sky presented a strange, perpetually hazy gray color, as if it had no end.

There were no sun, moon, or stars, only massive spatial crack, like hideous scars, covering the entire firmament like a spiderweb!

Endless Chaos gales, like death roars from the Nine Nethers, furiously poured down from those crack, emitting heart-wrenching wails!

The earth, moreover, presented a barren, dark red color, as if all its vitality had been drained.

Not a single plant was visible, nor any trace of living creatures.

There were only strangely shaped, rugged giant rocks and bottomless, terrifying ravines, as if cleaved open by a giant axe!

In the air, a peculiar energy, extremely dense and almost solid, permeated!

This energy appeared as a faint, milky white, visible to the naked eye, and was as viscous as divine nectar!

This was... Divine Power Qi?!

Lin Ye instinctively took a deep breath.

Boom!!!

Just one breath!

A vast and extremely pure energy surged into his limbs and bones!

His Qi Sea, which had been slightly depleted from traversing the spatial passage, was completely filled in that instant!

He could even clearly feel that his recently formed prison suppressing divine spark had slightly grown under the nourishment of this energy!

However, before he could recover from this immense surprise, an even more violent, more... destructive terrifying power, like a maggot clinging to bone, surged into his body along with the Divine Power Qi!

"Sizzle!"

Lin Ye only felt as if his Meridians were being frantically scraped by countless invisible steel blades, formed by the power of Law!

A series of intense pains, almost tearing his consciousness apart, assailed him!

The circulation of Divine Power within him became even more sluggish, as if stuck in a quagmire, several times more obscure than when he was in the spatial passage!

It was as if this world itself was repelling him, this... outsider!

Ding!

"Violent Law of Cangxuan Divine Realm detected... System final adaptation in progress..."

"Adaptation complete!"

"Warning: Current world energy form confirmed as 'Divine Power Qi'! Although this Qi is incomparably pure, it contains the violent power of higher-level Laws, which has a strong repellent and corrosive effect on beings not yet baptized by Divine Realm Laws!"

"Warning: host is currently suppressed by Divine Realm Laws, Divine Power circulation efficiency reduced!"

"System Tip: host needs to find a 'Divine City' as soon as possible to receive Divine Light baptism, only then can he initially adapt to Divine Realm Laws and recover some strength."

Lin Ye's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

He looked at Su Qingyue beside him, whose face was pale and delicate body trembled slightly due to the Law's repulsion, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his dark eyes.

It seemed that this so-called "Upper Realm" was far more dangerous than he had imagined!

"Careful!"

Just then, Su Qingyue's clear, cool voice, full of vigilance, suddenly rang out!

Lin Ye's mind instantly tensed!

Not far in front of them, behind the rugged strange rocks that had been empty moments before, five figures, full of fierceness and Killing Intent, slowly emerged without any warning!

The five of them were all clad in savage armor made from an unknown Vicious Beast hide mixed with metal, and in their hands, they held ancient-looking yet chillingly gleaming giant battle axes and long spears!

Their physiques were unusually tall and burly, almost a full head taller than Lin Ye!

Their skin was a healthy bronze color, covered with various mysterious totem tattoos full of savage aura!

Most striking was the extremely subtle, lightning-like silver mark naturally branded on each of their foreheads!

And the moment they saw Lin Ye and Su Qingyue, these two "outsiders," the five pairs of eyes, initially filled with vigilance and scrutiny, were instantly replaced by undisguised contempt and greed!

"Yo? Good luck, boss!" One of the burly men with a full beard and a giant battle axe on his shoulder grinned, revealing a mouthful of stark white teeth, and said in a teasing tone, "We actually picked up two 'Wild Gods' who just crawled up from the Lower Realm?"

Wild Gods?!

Hearing this insulting appellation, Lin Ye's brow furrowed sharply!

The one called "boss" was a lean man who looked about thirty years old, with a hideous saber scar on his cheek.

His Realm had actually reached the Early Stage of the Demi-God Realm!

Although his aura was also suppressed by Divine Realm Laws, his Foundation was far more stable than Lin Ye's, who had just Broken Through!

His sharp, hawk-like eyes brazenly scanned Lin Ye and Su Qingyue back and forth, finally settling on Su Qingyue's exquisitely beautiful face, which could make heaven and earth lose their color!

In his eyes, a scorching flame, full of endless greed and possessiveness, instantly erupted!

"Tsk tsk... What a beautiful female Wild God! If such a specimen were sold to the black market's slave camps, it would probably fetch a good price!" He extended his tongue and licked his slightly chapped lips, his hoarse voice filled with an undeniable command, "As for the man... he looks soft and tender, not like he can do hard labor.

Crippled his cultivation and throw him directly into Mine Pit Number Three as 'blood food.'"

Mine slave?! Blood food?!

In this so-called "Divine Realm," these "chosen ones" who had painstakingly Ascended, in the eyes of these "natives," were even worse than the most lowly slaves!

"Boss is wise!" The bearded strongman let out a malicious laugh, "Little ones, move! Be quick about it! Don't let these two 'Wild Gods' dirty our Thunder Cloud Clan's territory!"

Thunder Cloud Clan!

Before his words finished!

The five "natives," full of fierceness and Killing Intent, didn't even bother to say another word of nonsense.

The battle axes and long spears in their hands instantly erupted with dazzling silver lightning, like five ancient thunder beasts thoroughly enraged, and they pounced down on Lin Ye and Su Qingyue, who had already been completely locked onto by their Demi-God aura!
