Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

The Nine Ancestors stood with hands behind his back.

"Not kneeling?"

"You say not to kneel, and we just don't kneel? What a joke."

"Boom——"

The overwhelming Death Qi Rules surged to the heavens, sweeping over the entire Soul Land, bringing an abrupt and immense oppressive force.

Luo Yu's eyes were resolute, radiating divine light.

The ancient tree of the world began to tremble as endless planar power converged upon him, pouring into his body.

Then, with his divine might, he aided all the beings of Soul Land in resisting this overwhelming pressure.

All the creatures of Soul Land only felt a lightness in their bodies, as the terrifying pressure bearing down on them disappeared.

But when faced with difficulty, if you feel at ease, there must be someone carrying the burden for you—Qian Daoliu and others clenched their teeth tightly.

Because they all knew that it was Luo Yu alone who bore it all, merely to help them avoid kneeling.

Ning Fengzhi's mind trembled.

Because Luo Yu was not only guarding Soul Land but also helping to protect their dignity.

The Nine Ancestors sneered repeatedly.

"Little native, you can hardly protect yourself yet you still have the mind to care for others? The Ten Heavenly Lords were right to fall at your hands; indeed, you have some skills."

"But——"

"That's all I see."

With that, the Nine Ancestors swung his large hand, pressing toward the void. A giant palm, completely condensed from the power of Death Rules, took shape, bearing a world-shaking momentum, and pressed down on Luo Yu like the descent of a small world.

"Alliance Hierarch!"

"Be careful!!"

Anxious shouts rang out, revealing a heartfelt concern for Luo Yu; everyone hoped that this man, who had always guarded them, would be spared.

At this time, the Sky Reflecting Mirror was still suspended high in the sky, and all the beings of the continent could see Luo Yu's predicament.

"Crack... Crack!"

Luo Yu's bones kept making noises, as if unable to withstand the terrifying pressure, ready to fall apart at any moment.

Gu Yuena and the other women, though just as anxious, said nothing more.

Because they knew a bit more than others—about Luo Yu's cultivation level, which had broken through after his retreat.

Why isn't Brother Yu striking back forcefully? This isn't his style, Gu Yuena thought hesitantly.

They stood firmly behind Luo Yu, not one person moving away, as if they were determined to live and die with him.

"Tsk."

The Nine Ancestors sneered and shook his head.

"They say that birds of a feather flock together only until disaster strikes, then they fly separately; yet no one is running away."

"Hahaha."

Luo Yu faced the descending palm print unmoved, instead counting down in his heart.

Three...

Two...

One!

Here it comes.

Loud explosions broke out in the void.

A gigantic ancient ship was the first to tear through the sky, appearing with two elder figures standing on deck, dressed in simple robes, wearing crowns, and each carrying a longsword on their back.

On the other side, four more forces appeared, each a duo holding strange long umbrellas, an ancient Great Cauldron, a dignified Jade Seal, and a bloodstained long spear.

Incredibly, they launched their attacks simultaneously, aiming at both the Seventh Ancestor and the Nine Ancestors.

The two of them were shocked, and twisted the black palm that was attacking Luo Yu to collide with the attacks from these newly appeared adversaries.

"Boom——"

The mountains and rivers swayed, and the sky exploded with intense energy, forming a void.

Luo Yu barely managed to control the planar power to protect the ground from being too severely affected.

The Seventh Ancestor and the Nine Ancestors coldly watched the five forces that had suddenly appeared, their expressions darkening to the extreme.

"Vast Sacred Heaven."

"Tianding Continent."

"Hidden Sword Divine Mountain, Lan Chuan Plane, Yulong Continent, they're all old acquaintances, huh."

The two men carrying longswords shook their heads in regret.

"I thought I could take out two competitors first."

"What were you thinking, these two old geezers have stepped into the Ancestral Realm for many years, are they so easy to kill?"

"Just to disgust them a bit is also fine, hahaha."

The Seventh Ancestor asked:

"Damn it, why are you here?"

"Why are you here?" the man holding the Jade Seal countered.

The expressions of the Seventh and Ninth Ancestors darkened.

It didn't take much thought to know that news of their arrival here had leaked out. It couldn't possibly be for this little native; it had to be for the treasure that even the Progenitor cared about.

The middle-aged man holding a long spear looked at the towering ancient tree and shook his head:

"This thing is indeed interesting, no wonder it's on the mind of the Progenitor who has been asleep for many years."

The creatures of Soul Land were deathly silent.

For a time, they didn't know whether the current situation was good or bad.

The good news was that this group of powerhouses was not a unified force, and they even had disagreements.

The bad news was that it seemed like none of these powerhouses took them seriously, no, to be precise, they didn't even see the creatures of Soul Land as human beings.

Qian Daoliu and the others felt tingles on their scalps.

No way, could all of these be Ancestral Realm beings? Does Soul Land still have a chance today?

The mindset of Gu Yuena and the other women was a bit better before, after all, they knew their man had broken through, but now they tensed up.

After all, one man alone is hard-pressed against many hands, and now there are twelve Ancestral Realm beings here, obviously armed with divine weapons; who could withstand that?

They were already prepared to live and die together with Luo Yu.

The situation at hand was downright despairing.

The man with the spear glanced indifferently at the ground and finally raised his eyes to Luo Yu and opened his mouth:

"Native, you must be the strongest being of this continent, right?"

Luo Yu frowned.

"You people, feeling so superior, do you enjoy calling others natives that much?"

"Oh, you've got some temper," the man laughed. "To remain so calm in front of so many of us from the Ancestral Realm, should I say you're ignorant or brave?"

"What bravery, he's just a babe in the woods who doesn't fear a tiger," the middle-aged man with the Jade Seal scoffed. "Kid, tell us, what's the origin of this ancient tree and what use does it have? We might consider sparing your life."

Luo Yu smiled, unfazed by the gazes from the Ancestral Realm beings.

He said:

"The origin of this ancient tree, I know it, and its use, I also know."

The many Ancestral Realm beings' eyes lit up.

The man with the spear urged:

"Then cut the crap and speak."

Luo Yu noticed this behavior and immediately had a plan in his mind.

"I can tell you, but I have one condition," he said.

"Agreed," the crowd nodded.

Luo Yu stretched out his finger, pointing it at the Seventh and Ninth Ancestors.

"Kill them, and I'll tell you the secret," he proposed.

The eyes of the many Ancestral Realm beings hardened, and they cast cold looks as they said:

"You little scoundrel, trying to use us to kill for you?"

Luo Yu folded his arms and said:

"I see that you came here today, not just to find out the secret of the ancient tree but also to take it with you, right?"

"You can have the tree, but there is only one of it, and there are so many of you; how will you divide it?"

"Taking two out of the picture beforehand, when you fight later on, it seems like there's no downside for you, and you'd also be avenging me. Why not do it?"

After Luo Yu's explanation, the eyes of the many Ancestral Realm beings brightened.

Had they not had such intentions, they wouldn't have attacked the Seventh and Ninth Ancestors the moment they appeared.

The Seventh Ancestor's skin tightened, sensing the malicious looks all around him.

He gritted his teeth:

"You little—" he muttered.

"Damn it!" he exploded.

Unable to maintain his composure any longer, in his rage, he flashed through space to appear in front of Luo Yu, unleashing the Death Qi Rules, blasting towards Luo Yu's head...
