"Demi-god?"
Ye Xishui furrowed her brows slightly, looking somewhat puzzled as she touched at the two burly men.
This was the first time she had heard such a term.
What did Demi-god mean?
The term "Demi-god" carries the word "god," suggesting that their strength was not to be underestimated.
However, the expressions of these two men seemed to look down upon Demi-gods with great disdain.
"Within the same 99th level of spirit power, there are still differences in strength."
"Take Long Xiaoyao and Mu En for example, they can only be considered pseudo-Demi-gods, barely stepping into this level."
"You, having taken a step beyond the 99th level, can be considered a Demi-god."
The other burly man explained.
Ye Xishui was also a notable figure, an exceptional talent even if placed in the world ten thousand years ago. Hence, he was willing to explain it to her.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui suddenly understood!
The so-called Demi-god was a classification these people had created for 99th-level Limit Douluo, dividing them into pseudo-Demi-gods, Demi-gods, and so on.
With her intelligence, she naturally could see that there were still levels beyond the Demi-god stage; otherwise, these two men wouldn't look down on her so much!
After all, they had said that she was closer to the next step than Long Xiaoyao and Mu En, but they still treated her with such disdain.
"What level are you two, then?"
Ye Xishui stared intently at the two burly men, her voice filled with curiosity.
Although she didn't want to waste time talking to these two and instead wanted to focus on breaking free, gaining a bit more information would increase her chances of escaping.
"My brother and I…"
The more muscular of the two men smirked.
Their true levels couldn't be classified using the mortal ranking system, as they were gods. Even if they were only gods without divine positions, they were still gods.
However, in the mortal world, they were restricted and couldn't unleash their divine-level power.
"The 99th level can be divided into pseudo-Demi-gods, Demi-gods, and quasi-gods."
"My brother and I are naturally at the peak of the quasi-god level!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui instinctively took a step back, looking at the two burly men with a mix of shock and realization, yet finding their words to make perfect sense.
Those who dared to look down on her, a Demi-god, were either two Demi-gods themselves or something even stronger.
Quasi-gods… the peak of quasi-gods.
Truly terrifying!
"Brother, why are you telling her so much? Let's just take her down first!"
"Alright!"
The two burly men were none other than Niu Tian and Tai Tan.
After their rebirth, they were no longer spirit beasts in essence.
Their true forms had become their martial souls.
Tai Tan's martial soul was still the Titan Giant Ape, but Niu Tian's martial soul was not the Heavenly Azure Bull Python, it was the Azure Dragon!
After Tang San became a god, as his spirit ring and spirit bone, Niu Tian underwent an evolution, transforming from the Heavenly Azure Bull Python with a trace of Azure Dragon bloodline into the Azure Dragon itself. As for the purity of his bloodline, that was unknown.
As the two of them summoned their martial souls, Ye Xishui couldn't help but take a few steps back.
How many years had it been since she last felt the pressure of such powerful beings!
As for Niu Tian and Tai Tan's words, she had initially been skeptical, but now all her doubts were dispelled!
"Gentlemen, you are only one step away from becoming gods. Why do you still obey Huo Yuhao?"
"Why not join me and strive for the divine throne?"
Ye Xishui spoke to Niu Tian and Tai Tan, her words filled with temptation.
As an evil soul master, temptation was a fundamental skill.
"Don't waste your breath. My brother and I have no interest in becoming gods."
"Helping Huo Yuhao isn't for any benefit, it's simply our daughter's request!"
"My brother and I only have one daughter. Whatever she says, we follow!"
Niu Tian spoke with a calm expression. Although he and Tai Tan didn't have divine positions, they were still gods.
They naturally had no interest in becoming gods.
If they wish, they could break the seal and ascend to godhood at any time.
Upon hearing Niu Tian's words, everyone present, whether on their side or the enemy's, couldn't help but twitch their eyes.
Their daughter was truly a treasure, for they didn't even care about becoming gods just to fulfill her request!
Ye Xishui's face darkened. Why didn't she have two peak quasi-god fathers?
She wondered what Huo Yuhao had done to deceive a girl with such a background!
Thinking carefully about Huo Yuhao… well, he was simply a monster.
A monster the likes of which had never been seen since the birth of the Douluo Continent.
To honor Long Xiaoyao's sacrifice and to become a god to avenge him, she had to escape!
Even if she faces two peaks quasi-gods.
As if sensing Ye Xishui's thoughts, Tai Tan and Niu Tian wasted no time and immediately activated their domains.
"Gravity Domain!"
"Slowness Domain!"
Ears Tan's domain was called the Gravity Domain, capable of increasing gravity tenfold.
Niu Tian's domain was called the Slowness Domain, capable of slowing down time tenfold.
Individually, these domains seem rather ordinary, but they could be stacked!
A tenfold slowness combined with a tenfold gravity would make even a peer-level expert struggle to move!
When the two of them were still 100, 000-year spirit beasts, even Bibi Dong, a 98th-level Super Douluo, along with a few Titled Douluos, had difficulty killing them.
If it wasn't for the Spider Emperor's poison, they could have escaped.
This shows just how powerful the Titan Giant Ape and the Heavenly Azure Bull Python were.
Now, as quasi-gods, even Di Tian was unwilling to provoke them.
Indeed, when Di Tian learned that the Titan Giant Ape and the Heavenly Azure Bull Python had become such beings, he refused to easily offend them.
After all, the Titan Giant Ape and the Heavenly Azure Bull Python were once just gatekeepers.
Within the Slowness and Gravity Domains, Ye Xishui felt as if every step was a struggle, her strength waning.
She never expected that these two could stack their domains!
Only a domain can counter a domain. As a Demi-god, she naturally possessed her own domain.
When she unleashed it, she felt slightly more at ease.
However, what greeted her was a fist as large as a mountain!
"Bang!"
Ye Xishui's body was sent flying like a ragdoll.
Tai Tan's punch stunned her, leaving her dazed.
While everyone else was focused on their domains, this big guy had the audacity to strike first, ambushing her, a "youngster"—utterly lacking in martial virtue!
It was already two against one, yet they still fought so shamelessly!
These righteous cultivators were even more despicable than evil soul masters!
"The Titan Giant Ape… How could a human's martial soul be the Titan Giant Ape?"
The Titan Giant Ape martial soul had never appeared in human history.
It was a super spirit beast, terrifying beyond imagination.
According to scholars, the human body couldn't withstand the Titan Giant Ape as a martial soul.
Similarly, it couldn't handle the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear.
These super martial souls were simply too much for the human body to bear.
In theory, the strongest martial soul a normal human could possess was something like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, a sub-dragon.
Only if one's ancestors had achieved something extraordinary could divine-level martial souls like the Six-Winged Angel appear. Otherwise, the frail human body couldn't carry super martial souls.
