Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"We bid farewell to our senior," they said.

Lord Laozi nodded.

"Very well," he replied.

"Boom——"

The ancient ship trembled, transformed into a streak of light, and rapidly broke through the void, disappearing without a trace...

The figure of Lord Laozi flickered, and in the next instant, he was riding on the back of the green ox.

His eyes gazed longingly at the World Tree, and at the center, at Luo Yu seated in meditation, his body growing more robust.

"The Great Path has fifty, the Heavens evolve forty-nine, escaping the one..."

"Kid, this one opportunity we old fellows have given you, whether you can create a miracle is up to you now," he said.

"Difficult... it's too difficult..."

Lord Laozi couldn't help but sigh.

Both his body and the green ox beneath him seemed to have exhausted their strength and dissolved into golden light particles that scattered between heaven and earth.

From the very beginning, it was only a Divine Spirit incarnation...

Around them fell into silence, with only an endless verdant grassland and the World Tree that blotted out the sun and sky.

At that moment, the creatures of Soul Land were still unaware that their plane master and his ladies had all departed.

[If you are friends who only enjoy the plot of Douluo, we can part amicably here, thank you for your companionship all the way. Many have not paid for the book, and if they lambasted me, I would have been undervalued. A friendly reminder: there are surprises in the subsequent plot!]

...

In a part of the universe immeasurably far from Douluo.

A massive blue elliptical planet spun in space, with mechanical satellites orbiting the Blue Planet on predetermined trajectories. If one could look closely, they would find many regions on the surface of this blue planet covered in dark spots.

In space, these dark spots might cover thousands of kilometers when projected onto the planet's land.

Far beyond the Blue Planet, many light-years away, was a blazing red sun.

But nearby was a sinister red planet, emitting a peculiar aura, cold and eerie...

"Rumble——"

The tranquil universe suddenly rippled, and an ancient ship concealing its presence emerged from the void, gave a slight shudder, and flew towards Earth.

And such a massive ancient ship seemed to go undetected by all the satellites, which continued their orbit as usual.

...

Earth Calendar, 2097, Eastern Asia.

The Capital Base City.

The entire city was like a steel fortress, with towering walls made of steel alloy encompassing thousands of kilometers, and massive gun barrels poked out of the alloy walls, positioned on the ramparts, the distant land scarred and splotched with dried black and red bloodstains.

The sun set in the west, and it was deep night, with dark clouds obscuring the sky, plunging Great Xia into darkness.

The dark clouds faintly tinged with a hint of blood, hiding something.

People constantly patrolled the city walls, gripping weapons, rows of soldiers carried long spears, and the leading captains, on the other hand, carried battle sabers and longswords, their bodies exuding an aura of iron-blooded solemnity, their eyes displaying resoluteness.

They were unquestionably warriors forged in the fire of artillery and the blood of battle.

However, if one looked closely, all the soldiers seemed to emit a faint sense of despair, as though resigned to death.

There was no fear.

Within the steel fence, high-rise buildings over fifty meters tall stood tall and proud, emitting magnificent lights. Large searchlights alternated their scans through the sky, converging beams of light connected earth to heaven, forming a meticulous surveillance network without blind spots, monitoring the skies above the base city.

"Fierce!"

A harsh, violent cry suddenly rang out in the sky, and a massive shadow, several meters in length, dove toward the base city from on high.

"Swoosh——"

Light from a searchlight shone down, sweeping across the area.

The shadow revealed its true form: a giant bird covered in blue-black Scales, with huge meaty wings studded with bone spurs, and fierce light gleaming in its tiny eyes as it swooped down.

"Beep beep beep beep!!!"

The sharp, urgent alarm blared instantly, and at the same time, an orange-red beam of light burst from the direction of the city walls, hurtling towards the monstrous bird.

It instantly blasted the body of the bird to pieces, scattering them in the air.

The soldier on guard duty spat.

"Damn, that gave me a scare."

"Overestimating itself, a mere Green-scaled Bird daring to trespass?"

"Who gave it the courage to shatter."

"Fierce! Fierce fierce——"

When everything seemed to be over, an even louder and shriller cry echoed from afar.

The soldier looked up, and with his enhanced vision, he saw a dense mass of black shadows in the blood-red darkness of the distant sky rushing closer.

They were thousands upon thousands of Green-scaled Birds, each one several times larger than the one that had just been blown apart, with their massive wings unfolded, terrifying and intimidating.

The soldier clenched his teeth fiercely, his expression ferocious.

"Fucking hell, it was just a scout!"

"Damn it!"

"Brothers, grab your weapons."

There was no need for his reminder; a continuous stream of soldiers was already rushing to the city walls, and the Laser Guns automatically activated, locking onto the direction of the birds.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

In utter silence, the Laser Guns emitted dazzling orange-red beams of light, shooting straight at the cluster of ferocious beast Green-scaled Birds.

"Boom boom——"

Clusters of flames exploded in the sky, and in an instant, hundreds of Green-scaled Birds were blown to pieces and fell.

"Fierce——"

A grating noise erupted, and even waves of sound rippled through the air, causing the eardrums of ordinary soldiers to tremble, their faces twisted in pain, their bodies swaying.

"Whoosh..."

Above the flock, a monstrous black shadow, dozens of meters wide, eclipsed the sky, blocking the Laser Gun beams.

"Boom boom."

The lasers burst forth but failed to inflict any damage on the shadow.

It was an enlarged version of a Green-scaled Bird, its sharp beak opened wide, emitting waves of sound from its throat, its breath countless times stronger than that of an ordinary clansman, and what was special was not just its gigantic body, but also its two heads, with a large bulge on its neck.
