--- Chapter 183 ---
"I am back!" Han Yuan stepped out of the Elemental Plane's entrance with a smile on his face, making Han Yue sigh in relief as she threw herself into his arms.
Han Yuan caught his sister and said helplessly, "Whoa, there. Why are you so worried, sister? I am not a child anymore."
"How could I not be worried? What if you caught a cold there? What if you train too much and injure yourself?" Han Yue expressed her concerns as she pouted adorably at him.
Behind them, Thirteen visibly shook in disbelief when Han Yue spoke about those concerns.
Speechless is an understatement.
'Sorry, what the fuck? Cold, accidentally hurt himself? Do you even hear yourself, woman!'
'If it were any other person, you could use those blasphemous words, but we are talking about a monster that is Han Yuan here. Let alone cold and accidentally hurt himself, even a god-killing attack might not kill him after I awakened his 'Heavenly Demon's Body' martial soul!'
Honestly, even Thirteen doesn't know how strong Han Yuan has become after three months in the Elemental Plane.
Although there were no noticeable changes and Han Yuan's cultivation realm remained at rank 69 Spirit Emperor, the plane's consciousness could sense 'suffocating' elemental power from the son of destiny.
However, this elemental power is weird and not real.
No, it's artificial.
Yes, that's the word!
Ah Yin and Liu Erlong also come to their side. Both mature women locked on Han Yuan's figure, looking at him from top to bottom with discerning eyes.
"Hmm, he gained some more muscles for sure." Liu Erlong commented as she was very familiar with every inch of Han Yuan's body. "Gosh, look at those biceps and thighs."
"You can't even call this a sleeper built anymore."
"It's full-blown undercover if he wore a concealing loose robe."
Ah Yin wasn't as enthusiastic as Liu Erlong. As much as she loves every bit of Han Yuan, including his body, what matters to her is her son's well-being.
So, she observed more of Han Yuan's blood and vitality than his outer shell, and sure enough, her breathing hitched slightly.
Although Ah Yin was the Dark Blue Silver Emperor and the epitome of life energy transformed into a human being, Han Yuan outdid her on several levels, and the life energy coming from his body is addictive.
Of course, this is mainly due to the newly generated Demonic Power from the Heavenly Demon's Body, which is also compatible with life energy and enhances it greatly.
Calling it Demonic Life Force wasn't far-fetched either.
Truthfully, Ah Yin has known this for a while, but Han Yuan's Demonic Life Force wasn't as addictive as it is now. It has grown significantly stronger in mere three months.
Thinking about it again, Demonic Force really complements her Dark Blue Silver Emperor's innate attributes perfectly, and she couldn't help but lick her lips with hunger because of it.
'Ah, what a bad mother I am. I actually thought of eating Xiao Yuan, but it really is just irresistible.' Ah Yin covered her face in shame, blushing in helplessness.
'I mean, if I really ask Xiao Yuan for it, he might not refuse...' With such a thought, a drool started coming from the corner of Ah Yin's mouth.
If those teachers and disciples in the Dao Academy saw their goddesses acting like complete degenerates, they would lose it for sure. Fortunately, Liu Erlong and Ah Yin only act like this around Han Yuan.
Han Yuan's mouth twitched at their comments. He felt like a piece of juicy steak watched by two hungry beasts.
After letting Han Yue hug him for a few more minutes, Han Yuan finally let the clingy sister stand on her own.
"So, what have you got after training in the Elemental Plane so far?" asked Liu Erlong as she gained quite a lot herself.
Han Yuan smiled, "A decent improvement."
"I can let you see it, but this place wasn't suitable for demonstration."
"Oh?" Liu Erlong and the others raised their eyes.
Although they knew Han Yuan was capable of great destruction, the Cave of Truth was quite durable and could endure Liu Erlong's full-force attacks due to the enhancement of the Soul Guide Defense Array.
And in terms of pure destructive force, Liu Erlong's annihilation attribute is much stronger than Han Yuan's ultimate lightning. Of course, we don't count Atomic Dismantling because that wasn't pure elemental power.
Han Yuan glanced at Thirteen and asked calmly, "As the Douluo Plane's consciousness, you should be able to create a shadow from a certain history, right?"
Thirteen nodded, "Mm, I can create a shadow of powerhouses from the past. While they didn't have their full strength, their attainment and skills are still overpowering. After all, they are pioneers of their era, and only a handful of people like you can handle them."
"Truthfully, even my predecessors rarely used this ability."
"Why? Wouldn't it be useful for the latter generation to learn from the old one?" Han Yue asked in confusion.
"Because they don't learn anything, am I right?" Ah Yin commented while giving Thirteen a knowing look.
Thirteen sighed, "Every pioneer is unique. They are geniuses who can reach a higher realm, but can barely teach others."
"After all, human history and luck in the Douluo Planet are not mature enough to create a monster like Han Yuan back then."
"That's why spirit beasts hold an advantage in this matter because they could inherit the memory of their ancestors from their bloodline, making the inheritance of skills easier than that of a human."
"Then, again, it was normal considering their long lifespan compared to humans."
"In contrast, humans have a short lifespan and grow faster." Liu Erlong interjected casually.
Thirteen nodded solemnly, "That's the way it is."
"Then, everything becomes chaotic when the law of the world changes, and spirit masters hunt spirit beasts for their spirit bone and spirit skill, eliminating the need for their ancestors' inheritance."
"I'm not saying humans have a weak bloodline."
"But stealing achievement from others is just easier."
"What makes the laws of the world change so much?" Han Yue frowned grimly.
"It's not what, but who." Han Yuan casually commented. "Anyway, let's not focus on this topic too much."
"Thirteen, I wanted to fight a human powerhouse with the strongest defensive power. If possible, that person must be tanky enough to experience my Atomic Dismantling alive."
"..." Thirteen.
Bro, you asked too much!
Seriously, do you think I am dumb?
You don't want a sparring partner! You only want a durable punching bag!
Even then, Thirteen couldn't say all that out loud. It showed Han Yuan a knowing look before teleporting everyone away from the Cave of Truth.
Swoosh!
Ah Yin, being a sensitive person to her surroundings, looked around and asked, "Where are we?"
All they could see was a mountainous area with a weird, cloudy sky.
"We are inside the planet." Thirteen replied casually.
"What? We are underground?" The three women were shocked because this mountain area looked exactly like the outside, with light and a similar oxygen level.
Thirteen chuckled, "Welcome to the inner plane of Douluo Planet."
"This place might look no different to the surface, but in terms of era, this place is still the ancient era, with numerous dangerous prehistoric beasts my predecessor kept in case of extinction."
"Also, this place was more than durable to handle Han Yuan's attack."
"The space-time fabric here is several times stronger than that outside, which prevents anyone from entering it."
Han Yuan silently observed the surroundings and rubbed his neck slightly, excited, "Well, I didn't expect you to have such a thing under your sleeve, Thirteen."
"Of course, who do you think I am?" Thirteen proudly shook its fiery body, making Han Yuan and others laugh softly.
Then, Thirteen used its authority, and the surrounding landscape changed rapidly, becoming a plain suitable for a large-scale fight. A shadow slowly appears from the center, rising to form a burly figure wielding a massive two-meter tall shield.
The burly figure's eyes gained clarity as a fierce pressure came from his body. A battle cry soon filled the plain, shaking the ground and air violently.
Han Yuan looked at the shield-wearing warrior and sighed, "You didn't lie when you said they are pioneers of this era."
"This guy is actually level 99 if he were at his peak."
"Level 99?!" Liu Erlong was speechless.
"No, more precisely, he's the peak existence of Level 99." Han Yuan with an impressive tone. "A Quasi-God Expert!"
"And remember, he reached this without the inheritance of the gods!"
Han Yue sucked a cold breath, "And you want to fight him?"
Han Yuan grinned, "Never hurt to try."
