Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"Hmm?"

Luo Yu was stunned.

You refused to make a blood pact with it before, and now you're secretly accepting it as your master?

To be honest, have you been stealthily drinking my blood?

Clasping the small bell in his hand, Luo Yu didn't rush to observe it; instead, he first examined the state of his own body, lest he lost any parts.

That would be a loss too great to recover.

But upon this examination, Luo Yu took a deep breath.

He felt an unsurpassed surge of strength throughout his body, all his meridians as if blessed by some mysterious force, emitting a divine aura, identical to that emanating from the small bell, and his power surged once again.

Luo Yu estimated.

"Now, my cultivation level must be at least at the Half-Step Ancestral Realm, right?"

Luo Yu shook his head again.

No, that's not right.

It should be the peak of the Nineteenth Order; understanding the law is necessary for the Half-Step Ancestral Realm.

If there were others around, seeing Luo Yu's dissatisfaction, they would likely be angered to death.

After all, every breakthrough after reaching Rank 10 is extremely difficult, achievable only through heaven-defying opportunities or innate talent.

Otherwise, one might be stuck at that level for a lifetime.

Yet Luo Yu, in a short period, had broken through several realms to reach the Nineteenth Order, and now, as if in a dream, had directly reached the peak of Nineteenth Order, sparing himself countless years of arduous cultivation. If word of this were to spread, it would surely astonish and enrage countless powerful beings.

Hmm?

Luo Yu's mind stirred, perceiving a similarity.

He felt as though the world in front of him appeared different, indescribable and vague, as if he had grasped some special insight.

This...

Luo Yu extended his palm, attempting to manipulate this sliver of insight with his Divine Soul Power.

Whirr—

As if a thread was being tugged by Luo Yu, the other end connected to an unknown force, and invisible ripples undulated throughout the interior of the entire palace.

In an instant, Luo Yu's Divine Power gushed out frantically, six-tenths of his Divine Power rapidly depleted.

Luo Yu was startled, immediately withdrawing his Divine Spirit, halting all actions.

He gasped for air, staring wide-eyed around him.

"Just now..."

"What exactly happened just now?"

He did not understand what had happened in that instant.

The power was unlike any he had controlled before, familiar yet elusive, unable to recall what it was.

Just in a flash, six-tenths of his Divine Power had been consumed. Had he delayed for a moment longer, he might well have been drained dry.

"Creak... creak..."

At that moment, Luo Yu felt the luxurious palace he resided in trembling.

"What's going on?"

Luo Yu looked up, witnessing an astounding scene.

All the building materials of the seemingly ageless architecture aged in an instant, as if they had endured countless years.

The brightly colored paint, which should not fade for a century, lost all its color in a blink, turning dull.

And then they vanished.

At that moment, a breeze began to blow outside.

"Boom—"

The entire grand and immense palace crashed down in an instant.

Yes, it didn't collapse, it crashed down.

All that was, as if after an eternity of weathering, turned to ash and crashed down.

Stirring up countless clouds of dust.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

As the palace fell, the whole of Wuhun City shook.

Countless beings were startled awake, turning into streaks of light and flying over, with Bi Bidong and her women appearing, beholding the shocking sight.

Where the palace had once stood tall, there was now a mound of gray dust raised high.

Gu Yuena hesitated, "If I remember correctly, Luo Yu should be living here."

"What in the world did Brother Yu do to make his own home disappear like that?" Bossi said in astonishment.

"Cough cough cough!"

The mound exploded, and Luo Yu flew out, his divine light shimmering, dispelling the dust that clung to him.

For a split second, he was stunned, and then buried within it.

The ladies immediately gathered around.

Bi Bidong said, "Brother Yu, although we know you really want to live with us, we never imagined you'd go this far, even being willing to turn your own house into this... But, we sisters can't cohabit with you before marriage, you know."

The Life God King, looking at the dust-covered ruins, exclaimed in surprise,

"Luo Yu, how did you do it?"

Luo Yu forced a smile, "What if I say I don't know, would you believe me?"

"Ah?"

The ladies cast puzzled glances at him, waiting for his explanation.

Luo Yu said, "I just had an insight and tried something small, and then everything around turned into this."

"What the heck?" The ladies were even more baffled.

Bi Bidong said, "Brother Yu, why not show us again?"

Luo Yu shook his head, resolutely refusing.

"No way!"

"I still can't control this power; using it rashly is too dangerous."

Turning the palace to dust didn't bother him much, but if he turned his women into Yellow Soil, he wouldn't have a place to cry.

The Life God King asked, "Brother Yu, what kind of power is this that you're not sure you can control?"

Luo Yu thought for a moment, then said seriously,

"I think I've broken through to the Ancestral Realm, but I'm not sure if it's the Half-Step Ancestral Realm or the true Ancestral Realm."

The place fell silent in an instant, quiet as a mouse.

The ladies all understood that it seemed the man had only just broken through to the Nineteenth Order not too long ago, so how had he reached the Ancestral Realm already?

Could breakthroughs happen like this? It felt even easier than drinking cold water.

"You've mastered the Law so quickly?" the Life God King said in amazement.

"Seems like it, I'm not too sure either," Luo Yu said.

"Which Law have you mastered?" the Life God King pressed.

Luo Yu scratched his head.

"It should be the Time Law?"

"What?"

The Life God King couldn't help but cry out in astonishment.

Even though she wasn't very experienced and didn't understand what the situation was like in the universe,

she knew that attributes like time and space were the rarest and theoretically, the most unsolvable and most overbearing.

The Law of Death that Mo He had, although more overbearing than the Law of Fire, might be far inferior compared to the Time Law.

"How did you comprehend and break through?" the Life God King asked breathlessly, deeply shocked.

Luo Yu thought for a moment, then said,

"It seems I had a dream, and then I broke through?"

"But I can't be too happy too soon. I still can't control this power skillfully; it's easy to hurt others and myself."

The ladies were left in a state of divine spirit shock, completely ignoring what Luo Yu was saying afterward.

What does it mean to have a dream and then breakthrough?

Are these even human words?

Isn't this a little too boastful?

While others toil in their cultivation for countless years without progress, this fellow, so comfortably, has a dream and breaks through to the Ancestral Realm?

This just sounds like a complete joke.

At this moment, Gu Yuena happily said, "I was worried that if beings from other planes came to attack, Brother Yu might suffer, but now I'm not afraid."

"Indeed," the Life God King nodded in agreement.

The Music Deity couldn't help but pat her ample chest.

"Phew—"

"Thank goodness Brother Yu is one of us."

"If he were an enemy, I'd probably have nightmares every night I slept."

"Such a monster, who can break through at any moment, is truly terrifying..."
