Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"Do you think this can be used?"

Luo Yu extended his hand into the Storage Space and pinched out a tiny particle of Yellow Soil.

"What?"

The Life God King was puzzled and looked closely, only then seeing the thing pinched between Luo Yu's fingertips.

She exclaimed with wide eyes,

"No way, you're not planning to use just this particle of Yellow Soil to nurture the Seed of the Plane, are you? That would be a complete joke."

"Take another look," Luo Yu said without explaining, smiling as he handed the Yellow Soil to the Life God King.

The Life God King took it without much thought.

She extended her Divine Power to sense it.

This one touch was crucial; her Beautiful Eyes bulged as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.

Her delicate body shivered.

Clutching the particle of Yellow Soil tightly, as if it were a precious treasure, she looked at Luo Yu in disbelief.

"This..."

"Where did you get this from?"

Luo Yu said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Is there a problem?"

The Life God King's breathing grew rapid, her eyes blazing with a fervent glow, elongating her tone.

"Is there a problem??"

"A big problem indeed!"

"How come such immense life energy is contained within this mere particle of soil? How can this be?"

The Life God King repeatedly probed to confirm. Being extremely sensitive to life force, she could appreciate the terrifying energy contained within it even more than Luo Yu could.

This was no ordinary particle of soil.

It was clearly an unrivaled "treasure."

Luo Yu said calmly, "So, can this thing nurture the seed or not?"

Seeing the man's indifferent expression, the Life God King felt an unusual tightness in her chest.

She suspected the man was putting on airs, but she had no evidence.

"Of course, it can. But why should it?"

"Wouldn't it be much better to use this treasure for people?"

Luo Yu shook his head.

"Unfortunately, people cannot use it."

"What?"

The Life God King, disbelieving, attempted to absorb it but failed, which left her astonished.

Goodness, not everyone can absorb this Yellow Soil?

She was the Life God King!

But no matter how much the Life God King disbelieved, she couldn't absorb even a bit of energy from the Yellow Soil; she could only look on with envy.

"You've got to be kidding! This treasure is purposely messing with people's minds!" the Life God King exclaimed angrily.

The life energy within it made her so envious; absorbing it could have perhaps given her the chance for a breakthrough, yet it was unabsorbable.

Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders.

"You were looking down on it just now."

"It's nothing but a pebble of soil, after all."

The Life God King's face turned red.

"Speaking of which, how much of this do you have? If you have ten or eight particles, that would truly be extraordinary."

"Ten or eight particles?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.

"You don't have that many...?" The Life God King replied with regret, sighing, "It's true, to acquire even one particle of such a high-level treasure would already be an extraordinary stroke of fate."

"How could one covet as many as ten or eight particles?"

Luo Yu said slowly, "Ten or eight particles are too measly for me to offer."

"It has to be a whole vase's worth."

"What?" The Life God King's emotions, which had just settled, surged once again.

"Swoosh!"

Luo Yu casually took a Jade Vase and transferred all the Yellow Soil into it.

When the Life God King caught sight of the full vase of Yellow Soil, she was dumbstruck.

"Impossible!"

"One particle is difficult enough to find in the entire world, how could you possibly have so much?"

The Life God King quickly stretched out her hand and stirred a finger in the vase, only to find that the Yellow Soil inside was identical to the particle she held.

She was completely flabbergasted.

"You... This is far too... terrifying."

The Life God King felt her world view being completely turned on its head by Luo Yu.

I'd be satisfied with just a few particles.

And how many do you have in here?

Thousands of particles?

It's inexhaustible, alright.

One particle of Yellow Soil is so minuscule, and here you have tens of thousands that are overwhelming.

The Life God King even stuttered a bit.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen the world before.

It was just that the scene before her was too shocking, surpassing her comprehension.

Luo Yu looked at the stunned beauty and sighed inwardly.

The most lethal showing off is the invisible kind.

I'd like to keep a low profile too, but my strength simply doesn't allow it.

"These seeds for hastening growth should be enough, right?"

The Life God King's beautiful eyes widened, "Please remove the 'right'."

"What should we do now?" Luo Yu asked softly.

The Life God King rolled her eyes repeatedly.

What a waste of resources.

Such precious treasures, used for planting?

Alright, the rich can do whatever they please.

It always felt like this fellow alone was richer than the entire Divine Realm.

Moreover, this thing really wasn't of use to people.

Such a pity.

She pressed the seed tightly against a grain of yellow soil.

Luo Yu was astonished.

"That's it, just so rough and simple?"

"What else?" expressed the Life God King, not wanting to speak with this rich landowner at the moment.

The usually indifferent her experienced a sense of resentment against the wealthy for the first time in her life.

When the green-golden seed touched the yellow soil, its surface shimmered with a green-golden luster and began to vibrate.

It generated suction on its surface, starting to absorb the energy within the yellow soil.

"Shua shua shua!"

With the seed greedily absorbing, it swelled in size before their eyes.

When one grain of yellow soil was completely absorbed, the seed had inflated to the size of a fist, with bulges appearing on its surface as if about to burst through.

"This…"

The Life God King was extremely surprised.

Because she knew all too well what an enormous amount of energy the seed contained inside, but it had only helped the seed grow this much.

Good fellow.

One has plenty of energy, the other is an abyss without a bottom.

It's just a matter of seeing which could fill up the other.

"Should we continue?" she asked.

Luo Yu nodded, "Continue."

He wanted to see just what this seed could eventually grow into.

The most crucial aspect was that, back then, thanks to the Spirit of the Plane willing to sacrifice itself and merge with him, otherwise he might have been beaten to death by the Asura God.

Even if the other party didn't mention it, he remembered that favor.

He had always been one to repay kindness, regardless of the cost.

As each grain of yellow soil was absorbed by the seed, the seed grew visibly faster.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound emerged as a crack appeared on the surface of the seed, and a tender green sprout emerged.

Then the seed's outer skin completely withered, revealing a green-golden plant in front of Luo Yu and the Life God King.

An unseen plant, with green leaves and entirely golden veins.

Upon seeing the golden patterns clearly, both Luo Yu and the Life God King were full of shock, for the golden veins on each leaf were entirely distinct.

As if they were outlining flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

A single plant was somehow displaying the myriad forms of life.

Moreover, its strangeness did not stop there; it was even slowly absorbing the chaotic energy of the universe to promote its own growth.

"This…"

Luo Yu might not understand the plant, but he was greatly shaken, knowing that even he couldn't absorb and refine the chaotic energy of the universe.

As the yellow soil was devoured, a faint trace of spiritual essence came from within the plant, conveying goodwill to Luo Yu.

This scene was even more incredible.

Because it was the Life God King who fed the yellow soil to the plant, yet the plant clearly sensed who the real benefactor was.

Is this really a plant?

Luo Yu hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand grandly.

"Give it all the yellow soil."

"Are you sure?" The Life God King was seeing such a bizarre plant for the first time and hesitated.

"Yes."

Luo Yu made his decision with conviction, feeling as though the yellow soil was meant for this plant.

When the Life God King brought the yellow soil close to the half-meter tall plant,

its noble and gorgeous green-golden elongated leaves, like the tender arms of a young girl, wrapped around the jade vase and leaped down from the atmosphere.

Falling to the ground…
