Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"Boom!"

Luo Yu's spine chilled as he carefully sensed the remnants of the dark energy on Iceland.

He released a terrifying psychic force, radiating outwards to scout the area.

After concluding his investigation, Luo Yu's expression grew increasingly grave.

All traces of the dark creatures had vanished as if into thin air, leaving no hint of their presence or where they might have gone.

Considering the peculiar state of the Odin God Child at that time,

Luo Yu had no doubt that the Odin God King had likely made contact with the creatures of darkness.

If such a powerful divine spirit from Norse mythology had been corrupted by the darkness, what of the other divine spirits?

"The dark energy here is clearly much stronger than that of the creatures in the First Emperor's Mausoleum and the Changbai Mountain Heavenly Pool," Luo Yu observed, frowning at the shadowy altar.

The dark creatures he had encountered before were nothing more than "local spirits" of Great Xia that had been corrupted, but those coming from this altar could well be the darkness itself.

He vaguely understood that these dark creatures had levels, but he had no idea what level this one could be.

Luo Yu had no time to concern himself with the public dealing with foreign forces right now.

He transformed into a streak of golden light and immediately left the area, flying back to Great Xia.

He feared that the power of darkness had already begun to corrode the people.

That would be terrifying.

If all of Great Xia were left with only him alive, what meaning would it hold?

The people important to him were all there.

"Whoosh!"

The people on the ground, witnessing the terrifying streak of golden light that was Luo Yu, were filled with terror.

They had thought without the protection of deities, they would be slaughtered by Luo Yu in his wrath.

After all, any normal person would have done so.

But seeing Luo Yu soar away without doing anything, everyone looked on in astonishment.

"He... he didn't attack?"

"He doesn't want to kill us?"

"This..."

In that instant, the humiliation felt by the people of the world was even worse than if he had slain them.

They realized... they were nothing in his eyes.

They didn't even have the right to anger him enough to seek revenge.

For countless years, they had looked down on the people of Great Xia, deeming themselves superior.

Yet, they now faced the humiliating reality.

Even their deities had been killed off like chickens and dogs.

They groveled in the dirt, begging for mercy.

All their pride had been trodden into the mud by Great Xia, shattered completely.

Luo Yu returned to the skies above Great Xia like a rainbow.

The people in the ground bases below, seeing the banished immortal figure in the sky shining like a golden, fiery sun, let out deafening cries of veneration.

Some, overcome with joy, broke into tears and knelt in worship.

Without the deities, Luo Yu was the only true god of Great Xia.

Protecting everyone.

Receiving the reverence of the entire nation.

Luo Tiance and others who had returned earlier sighed endlessly.

Zhu Wushi shook his head, "In earlier years, we were hesitant to bestow a title upon the Divine Child."

"Looking back now, it seems somewhat ridiculous."

"He didn't need it at all."

"The uncrowned king of Great Xia."

Cao Xiong said with self-deprecating laughter, "Brave enough for three armies? Terrifying the world? Unparalleled patriot?"

"With Godchild Luo Yu's current battle achievements—turning the tide for Great Xia and safeguarding the common people—he stands unparalleled, with no predecessors or successors to his greatness."

Liu Shengji nodded, "He truly intimidates the entire world all by himself. Among his peers, even the Deities would be sent scurrying like frightened rats."

Within the scenic villa,

Bi Bidong, Gu Yuena, and Xiaowu, along with a group of beauties, had just regained their freedom of movement after being confined in a room.

They had witnessed Luo Yu being besieged by a host of gods and couldn't contain themselves.

They were prepared to step in and support him immediately.

Unexpectedly, the red "double happiness" characters bestowed by The Venerable Sovereign flashed and immobilized them, as a telepathic message advised these ladies to keep calm and remain patient.

At the moment when they saw Luo Yu fall, the hearts of all the women sank.

Especially Gu Yuena and Bi Bidong, who frantically tried to summon their power, nearly coming to blows with The Venerable Sovereign.

But witnessing Luo Yu's miraculous recovery, they were instantly overjoyed.

At the same time, they felt a bit embarrassed and repeatedly apologized to The Venerable Sovereign, but received no response.

The power of the "double happiness" character automatically lifted, and they regained their freedom of movement.

The Life God King sighed softly, "Sisters, don't you understand? Here on Earth, we are merely observers. Our husband has his own path to follow."

The Charm Emperor, clad in a black body-hugging evening dress, and the pure Formation Emperor, in her white dress, both nodded in agreement.

"Indeed."

"Didn't the old man make it clear when he allowed us to cross over? We shouldn't meddle in husband's affairs. When sister Na intervened last time, she already broke the rule once."

Gu Yuena's cool purple pupils flickered with embarrassment, but she did not speak.

Bi Bidong said, "The day those Deities awaken will likely be Brother Yu's final ordeal."

"What does it mean to be unable to break through to the Divine Realm?"

Ning Rongrong and Huo Wu, among other ladies in fairy dresses with white patterned stockings, shook their heads, a look of perplexity flashing in their beautiful eyes.

"Is Brother Yu searching for something now?" Ye Lingling looked up, asking in surprise.

"Maybe he's not looking for us," Zhu Zhuqing said with some hesitation.

Above the firmament, Luo Yu used the capabilities of his World Realm.

He extended the power of the world over the whole of Great Xia, but there was no trace of Mo's presence to be found.

Not quite reassured, he even carried out several consecutive searches.

He exhaled softly, "There should be no issues on Great Xia's side, after all, Iceland is far from here."

"It's a good thing that during the World Youth Competition, foreign competitors were kept separate from the People of Great Xia; otherwise, the Odin God Child might have corrupted some, with unimaginable consequences."

Luo Yu massaged his temples.

There was another possibility he dreaded to consider: that the Mo-afflicted creatures were lurking too deep, evading even his detection. If that were the case, there was nothing to be done.

The pressing issue now was how to deal with the calamity of a full awakening of the Deities.

"Swoosh!"

He leaped into the sky, quickly exiting the Earth's atmosphere and entering the vast universe.

In the vacuum of space, where the pressure was immense,

Luo Yu, now in the World Realm and with his own domain, naturally had nothing to fear from the cosmic environment.

He transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards that sinister Red Moon at the speed of light.

At the First Emperor's Mausoleum, there is only one final owner of the handprint left on the Bronze Stone Gate.

"Swoosh!"

A planet radiating a blood-red glow hung before him, its vastness making Luo Yu seem insignificant.

Staring at the Red Moon, there appeared to be no life on its surface.

Yet, every grain of sand emitted a red light.

He sensed a terrifying presence emanating, bearing a Deity Level aura that could have left any ordinary being in the World Realm feeling an overwhelming sense of suffocation and dread.

The red light radiated with a special force, shining in all directions.

Not just towards Earth.

Finally, Luo Yu understood why the beasts on Earth had mutated—it was all because of the influence of the red light.
