Douluo: I’m Cultivating Immortality, and I’m Still a Titled Douluo?

As the cold, aloof voice echoed through the grand hall, Tang Chen instinctively rose from his seat, his pupils contracting visibly in response.

In the next moment, a dramatic transformation swept over him.

If the Tang Chen before was a man shackled by the Nine-Headed Blood Bat King's control—his memories obliterated, his identity as the Slaughter City's King of Slaughter dominating his being—then the man now standing was no longer Tang Chen at all.

He had fully become the Nine-Headed Blood Bat King.

"What… is happening here?"

Looking at Tang Chen, now a wholly transformed figure, Gu Yuena furrowed her brows and turned to Lu Yunzhou, her curiosity compelling her to speak.

Calmly, Lu Yunzhou replied, "It's nothing complicated. He's been completely parasitized—or, perhaps more accurately, replaced and controlled."

At that moment, Tang Chen's gaze no longer acknowledged Lu Yunzhou or Gu Yuena. Silently, he strode out of the resplendent Slaughter Palace. When he finally reached the open air, he respectfully lowered his head and said:

"King of Slaughter, paying respects to the Celestial One."

No sooner had Tang Chen spoken than a boundless, ocean-like surge of divine power erupted from the sky above.

The energy was malevolent and decadent, radiating an aura so vile that it instinctively stirred feelings of hatred and disgust in anyone who felt its presence.

"Could it be… a god from the Divine Realm descending in secret?"

Sensing the faintly familiar divine power, Lu Yunzhou's eyes widened in surprise. His murmured words betrayed his astonishment.

Yet, as he reflected further, a trace of resignation crept into his thoughts.

"Perhaps this isn't so unusual," he mused. "After all, doesn't one of the three God-Kings have a reputation for meddling in mortal affairs? As one of the Divine Realm's three enforcers, he's done little to set an example—regularly interfering with the affairs of the continent.

"It's just as they say: Rules exist for the weak but serve the strong."

At that moment, as if recognizing something deeply familiar, Gu Yuena's expression shifted to one of shock and disbelief.

"It's her!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling.

Lu Yunzhou turned to her, intrigued. "Who?"

"Rakshasa God You Lian!"

Hearing her response, Lu Yunzhou's expression grew contemplative. "The Rakshasa God? You even know her name? What's your connection?"

Without hesitation, Gu Yuena began to recount her story.

"Back during the Divine Realm War, when the Dragon God split into two entities, the five God-Kings joined forces to hunt down the Golden Dragon King. Meanwhile, eighteen Primary Gods were tasked with capturing me. Among them, Rakshasa God You Lian was one of their key figures.

"Initially, there was no way I could have escaped the Divine Realm. Eighteen First-Class Gods working together wield power equivalent to two God-Kings. Against such forces, how could I—a mere First-Class God—hope to prevail?

"But for reasons I still don't understand, at a critical moment, You Lian… let me go.

"It was because of her intervention that I managed to escape the Divine Realm and descend into the mortal world."

As she finished speaking, a solemn glint appeared in Gu Yuena's enchanting eyes, betraying the weight of the memories she had shared.

"So that's how it is," Lu Yunzhou mused, a trace of surprise in his voice. "Given your history, why don't we meet her together? It's the perfect chance to greet a figure from the Divine Realm—and discover her reasons for descending. It might be an intriguing encounter."

Gu Yuena didn't say much in response. She simply nodded in agreement.

To Gu Yuena, meeting Rakshasa God You Lian—her former savior—was an opportunity she had long desired.

And so, the two followed in Tang Chen's footsteps, leaving the opulent Slaughter Palace behind.

Once outside, their eyes were immediately drawn to the blood-red sky above, where a dazzling, radiant purple mist swirled with an ominous allure.

Amid the swirling black and purple mist, a lithe and graceful figure stood, her silhouette both tall and slender. Her cascading black hair, as smooth and flowing as a waterfall, draped loosely down her back.

The identity of this striking figure needed no explanation—it was none other than the God of Rakshasa, You Lian.

As You Lian's gaze fell upon the figures of Lu Yunzhou and Gu Yuena emerging from Tang Chen's palace, a flicker of recognition dawned in her eyes.

From her first glance at them, You Lian understood that the strength of these two individuals was no less than her own.

Especially the handsome man—his aura and power seemed to faintly rival that of the Five God Kings themselves. This realization sent shockwaves through You Lian's heart.

In this humble Douluo Continent, could there truly be hidden dragons and crouching tigers of such caliber?

This was something You Lian had never anticipated.

Recovering her composure, a subtle smile played at the corners of her lips. With an elegant expression, she spoke, her voice smooth yet commanding:

"Allow me to introduce myself—Rakshasa of the Divine Realm."

With that, she waved her jade-like arm lightly, dispelling the black and purple mist surrounding her. Her voice carried on:

"And who might you two distinguished individuals be?"

As her words hung in the air, You Lian's gaze shifted to the Nine-Headed Blood Crimson Bat King, her loyal pet.

Before Lu Yunzhou or Gu Yuena could respond, she spoke again, her tone imperious and demanding:

"Won't you introduce these two to me?"

The Nine-Headed Blood Crimson Bat King, a creature raised by the God of Rakshasa, served a very particular purpose—disrupting the God Trials of those chosen by the God of Asura.

As her pet, it dared not disobey its master's command, let alone hesitate.

Without delay, the Nine-Headed Blood Crimson Bat King responded to You Lian's inquiry, speaking hastily to explain:

"Reporting to Master, they are..."

After some time, as You Lian absorbed all that had been explained, a trace of gravity surfaced in her beautiful eyes.

"Lu Yunzhou, a figure of this continent? Is that true?" she murmured to herself, her tone laced with disbelief.

Hearing her quiet musings, Lu Yunzhou smiled calmly and responded, his voice steady and clear:

"I am Lu Yunzhou of the Ethereal Sanctuary. I stand true to my name and heritage. It is an honor to meet you."

As Lu Yunzhou's words fell, Gu Yuena, standing at his side, followed with her own soft yet confident voice:

"It has been quite some time. I trust you have been well."
