Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

The Life God King couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Comparing yourself to others will only make you frustrated."

She had cultivated for many more years than Luo Yu, yet she was still maintaining the level of a thirteenth-order Divine King.

On the other hand, he had soared up to the ninth heaven, understanding the laws, and was on the verge of becoming a twentieth-order Ancestral Realm powerhouse.

"Truly remarkable."

The Life God King couldn't help but admire in her heart, her beautiful eyes shimmering with unusual colors.

It is a woman's nature to admire strength, even someone as mighty as the Life God King was no exception.

Luo Yu said to the women around him who cared about him:

"Wives, for the next period of time, I'll have to trouble you all with the wedding preparations."

"I may need to go into seclusion again to consolidate for a while."

No sooner had he spoken than voices of feigned anger came from all around.

"Tui!"

"Who's your wife?"

"Don't call us that carelessly!"

"Such thick skin, hmph."

Luo Yu scratched his head and didn't talk back, just stood there pretending to be a fool.

This move might be unsophisticated, but it was extremely effective.

Seeing that Luo Yu remained silent, the women also quieted down.

After all, they all actually understood in their hearts that Luo Yu wasn't trying to be a hands-off boss, nor did he not love them; it was simply that the man dared not relax the slightest with Soul Land facing a crisis.

Thinking of this, the women couldn't help but feel a sting of heartache.

Gu Yuena consoled, "Don't worry, we'll take care of all the wedding preparations. You just focus on your cultivation."

The Life God King also said, "If it really doesn't work, we can postpone the wedding, there's no rush."

No sooner had her voice fallen than she saw pairs of resentful eyes looking at her, and she felt an inexplicable chill on her back.

Luo Yu laughed, "You might not be in a hurry, but I'm eager to take a wife."

"No more talk, I'm going to seclude myself."

"Okay." The women nodded obediently, all of them understanding the bigger picture.

"Whoosh!"

Without further ado, Luo Yu opened a gate of space and disappeared from where he was.

He appeared in the midst of the stars.

Why not cultivate on Soul Land? Because Luo Yu feared he might lose control and harm his own people.

Or just turn into dust.

Summoning the silver bell, he spurred its power but still received no response.

Luo Yu then infused the power belonging to the Time Law into it, and the silver bell lit up.

His Divine Soul Power entered successfully as well.

Within the bell, a small world unto itself was formed, vast and wide, but as far as the eye could see it was desolate, as if ravaged by something, the land riddled with holes and utterly devoid of vitality.

His Divine Spirit quickly surveyed the surroundings, and Luo Yu's mind moved; he sensed something unusual in the east of the small world.

So he quickly reached out with his senses.

He noticed an enormous stele suppressing the area.

Engraved with two ancient characters, it emitted an imposing and profound aura, indescribable and unfathomable.

Luo Yu's entire being was electrified.

The characters were unknown to Luo Yu, yet he instantly understood their meaning, murmuring to himself.

"Dong—"

"Huang?"

"The bell... the characters on the stele..."

"Holy shit!"

"Could this be the Donghuang Bell?"

After understanding, Luo Yu trembled all over, falling into shock.

It wasn't that he was not calm.

It was just that the Donghuang Bell was too famous.

That was an ancient treasure that once shook Huaxia in the legends, no less significant than the Four Slay-Immortal Swords, possessing all kinds of Great Divine Power.

```

The recognition of the Four Slay-Immortal Swords as their master was already thrilling enough.

And now this already-mastered little bell turned out to be the legendary Donghuang Bell from the tales?

Luo Yu tried to infuse the power of the Time Law into the stele, and the power was rapidly being absorbed.

"Swish—"

The stele shone with a silver jade brilliance and began to tremble.

"Hmm?"

Luo Yu's gaze sharpened.

For he perceived a vital breath within the stele, as if some creature lay dormant, waiting for him to awaken it.

As his power continued to pour into it, the stele grew more dazzling.

The glow of the stele suddenly dimmed, and the motion ceased.

It was because the Divine Power within Luo Yu's body had been drained by the usage of the Time Law, and without the support of the Law's power, the stele, too, darkened.

Luo Yu didn't give up; after his power recovered, he tried a few more times.

He found that each time, it was just a bit short.

He understood that to activate this stele, his own power was still insufficient.

Once he could awaken the creature hidden inside, perhaps it would unravel the mysteries for him.

Luo Yu was in no hurry because rushing would be of no use.

If the strength was not enough, then more cultivation was needed.

He withdrew his Divine Spirit from the Donghuang Bell and toyed with it in his hands.

He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Who could imagine this little thing was actually an ancient treasure from the legends, the Gate of Heavenly Realm—the Donghuang Bell?

Putting away the Donghuang Bell, Luo Yu began to try and control that force of rules he had felt earlier.

In his sight, there seemed to appear an invisible force, invisible to others, with strange strands of thread in front of him.

As he attempted to control and tug, Luo Yu felt the Divine Power in his body drain away crazily.

This time, he sensed it.

The flow of time around him was changing rapidly.

Because he had absorbed the Temporal Dragon King's origin and had been tempered by the Donghuang Bell, he was extremely perceptive to the flow of time's power.

"Swish!"

Luo Yu stopped the outflow of Divine Power, and in an instant, several nearby meteorites faded swiftly, turning into a handful of powder.

As if they had undergone the vicissitudes and baptism of time.

"Hiss—"

Luo Yu took a deep breath.

The power of the rules was indeed domineering; if such decay over so many years befell a living creature, it would probably perish in an instant.

Only the power of rules can resist rules. Mo He truly did not deceive me, resolving some of the doubts in my heart.

If Mo He knew of this beyond the grave, he would be weeping with tears of joy and laughing ruefully.

"Dammit, thank you."

Because of you,

hell has been warmed.

In the following time, Luo Yu sat in the void of the universe, beginning to quietly comprehend the power of the Time Law.

The control over this power also became more adept.

Meanwhile, a towering tree that rose from Soul Land, extending into the universe, was absorbing the power of the void. It emitted colorful light; some of it was used for its own growth, but most of it fell upon Luo Yu, aiding in his ascension.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The appearance of Wuhun City in the central region of Soul Land had undergone tremendous change, not just becoming a hundred times more magnificent than before. The entire city was paved with treasures, brightly lit and ostentatiously decorated to an extreme.

Yet within its sumptuousness, it did not appear vulgar, with flowers and brocades, various elegant decoration styles, full of charm.

It was the result of a collective effort by all the skilled craftsmen of Soul Land and the construction work of all Titled Douluo.

A crimson carpet, starting from dozens of miles outside the city, stretched all the way to the illustrious wedding hall.

The marble steps covered tens of miles, with red decorative hangings on the palace, reaching up to the ninth level.

One by one, formidable figures appeared outside the city, holding red wedding invitations and hurrying to attend the ceremony.

No one flew in the sky, all maintained a very low profile, starting their journey by foot from a hundred miles away as a sign of respect...
