Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Sorry, my lord, I lost my composure,"

Mysterious Robe quickly regained her composure.

After all these years, she had been prepared to accept the fact.

She even thought that she'd never know the news of Yao Chen's whereabouts in her lifetime, but now that she had learned of Yao Chen's death, the obsession in her heart was finally laid to rest.

"I hope my lord can avenge Yao Chen. As long as my lord can help Mysterious Robe to maintain her status, she is willing to serve at your side for life, at your beck and call," Mysterious Robe knelt before Xu Ran, her eyes filled with determination.

She knew Xiao Yan had already sided with the Hun Clan, and without Xu Ran's power, it would be impossible to avenge Yao Chen.

"Are you sure?"

Xu Ran looked at the beautiful woman before him with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"I'm sure,"

Mysterious Robe's face flushed.

In her life, she had two obsessions, one was Yao Chen and the other was the way of the pills.

Now that Yao Chen was dead, her obsession with him naturally disappeared. As long as she could avenge Yao Chen, she would have resolved the affairs of her former life. From now on, she only wanted to advance further in the way of the pills and reach the summit to see the wonders from the highest peak.

And the only one who could help her achieve this was Xu Ran.

As long as she could gain Xu Ran's favor, she definitely stood a chance to witness the scenery from the peak.

"Is that so?" Xu Ran suddenly felt somewhat bored.

Was it because Mysterious Robe's feelings for Yao Chen were so deep that upon hearing of his death, she was left with nothing but utilitarian desires?

Wanting to please him in order to advance further in the way of the pills?

But he did not like that idea.

He did not want a person who was like a puppet.

"Come here, crawl over," Xu Ran said with amusement as he watched Mysterious Robe.

Mysterious Robe, who was about to stand up, paused upon hearing Xu Ran's voice, then slowly began to crawl toward him.

Xu Ran watched this scene impassively, a hint of an evil smile on his face.

Yao Chen, oh Yao Chen, is this the woman you loved? She's nothing more than this before me.

"You should know what to do, right?" Xu Ran said casually, lifting Mysterious Robe's chin with a flirtatious touch.

After a while, Xu Ran lay in bed, looking at the naked Mysterious Robe beside him.

"You must have loved Yao Chen very much, didn't you?" Xu Ran said, wrapping his arm around Mysterious Robe's slender waist and speaking into her ear.

At his words, Mysterious Robe's body trembled.

Seeing Mysterious Robe's reaction, Xu Ran understood.

"Actually, it was I who killed Yao Chen," Xu Ran said evilly, looking at the woman by his side whose affection for Yao Chen was so profound.

Mysterious Robe's beautiful eyes widened in an instant.

This news struck her heart like a sword.

She...

She had actually willingly lain with the man who killed Yao Chen, and was utterly debased.

"You're despicable, you..."

Seeing Xu Ran's face, tears streamed down from the corners of Mysterious Robe's eyes.

"Remember, you are mine now. As for Yao Chen, that person has ceased to exist. Your taste is quite nice, it's a pity Yao Chen never got to savor it. Hahahaha..." Xu Ran said coldly as he tightly gripped Mysterious Robe's pale neck. After he finished speaking, he got up and left.

He liked beauties, but he didn't care for those whose hearts still pined for another.

If it had been the old him, he would have done everything to make them forget their past.

And now, he could no longer muster any enthusiasm.

Perhaps strength enhancement had changed his mindset as well.

...

Holy Pill City.

Zhukun and Gu Yuan were stunned, experiencing that exhilarating thing.

Only then did they realize why they could never touch that legendary realm, no matter what.

"Is this Yuan Qi?" Zhukun and Gu Yuan swallowed hard, feeling their bottlenecks beginning to loosen.

Yuan Qi is a strange energy born of Heaven and Earth, and only after absorbing Yuan Qi can one successfully break through the barrier of a Dou Di."

"Every plane of existence, at the beginning of its creation, will witness the birth of Yuan Qi. However, Yuan Qi cannot be regenerated. In other words, each time a portion of Yuan Qi is consumed, it will disappear from the world."

"Tuo She Ancient Emperor's breakthrough to Dou Di also exhausted the last of the Yuan Qi in the Fighting Spirit Continent, which is why no one has since been able to break through to Dou Di," Xu Ran explained.

"So that's how it is." Zhukun and Gu Yuan exchanged looks, their eyes filled with shock.

Yuan Qi was right before their eyes, and as long as they absorbed it, they could break through to Dou Di.

"Words cannot express our gratitude. If there is ever anything we can help you with in the future, we will do our utmost."

How valuable is Yuan Qi? Xu Ran had given them such a generous gift, and they dared not accept it lightly. Even though their daughters were betrothed to Xu Ran for life, it was a separate matter.

"The two elders should absorb the Yuan Qi quickly. With your talents, breaking through to Dou Di shouldn't be difficult," Xu Ran said.

"Hoo…"

Zhukun and Gu Yuan took a deep breath and quickly focused their minds.

Once they broke through to Dou Di, the Hun Clan would no longer be a concern.

At the same time, Gu Yuena, the Life Goddess, and the Goddess of Kindness were also absorbing Yuan Qi, aiming for the Emperor Realm. Their "cultivation levels" were the highest, and they were among the first of the women to strive for the Dou Di realm.

For one month, Zhongzhou was in a state of extreme turmoil.

"Have I finally broken through to Dou Di?"

Hun Tiandi stepped out of the blood pond, looking at the majestic figure in front of him.

"Congratulations," Tuo She Ancient Emperor said indifferently toward Hun Tiandi. Without his assistance, Hun Tiandi would not have broken through to Dou Di so easily.

"Now is the time."

"If I devour this guy's power, I should be able to break through again, right? Then there won't be many in the Great Thousand World who can restrain me."

Excitement flickered in Tuo She Ancient Emperor's eyes.

His strength hadn't seen a significant breakthrough for many years, but the aura emanating from Xu Ran made him sense an opportunity. This was the reason he spared no effort in crossing countless planes to return to the Fighting Spirit Continent.

Just to be safe, he even helped Hun Tiandi break through to Dou Di.

"Teacher, we should be able to go find Xu Ran now, right?" Xiao Yan, standing behind Tuo She Ancient Emperor, asked excitedly. He had not imagined he could ever become the disciple of a Dou Di powerhouse. With the help of Tuo She Ancient Emperor, he had already broken through Dou Sheng.

During these days, Xiao Yan came to understand why he could never defeat Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was a Dou Di powerhouse, how could he possibly win against him!

But now!

Tuo She Ancient Emperor had broken through to Dou Di a thousand years ago, and now Hun Tiandi was also a Dou Di powerhouse. Who could withstand them?

Xu Ran was doomed!

As long as he killed Xu Ran, he could possess everything Xu Ran had, including Xun Er and so many peerless beauties.

"Hmm."

Tuo She Ancient Emperor's gaze turned toward the Pill Tower, and a wicked smile appeared on his face. This time, his strength was bound to improve considerably.
