“Mother, lucky that you’re here. Otherwise, I’d have been in real danger today.” Tang Wulin had already regained his composure.

The Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci walked over to them. A faint, unusual radiance flashed past his eyes involuntarily upon seeing Yali.

He could still clearly remember that, when he took the initiative to challenge that legendary figure many years ago, he had once met this person before his eyes.

She was so attractive back in those years. At this exact moment, she had not changed at all despite so many decades passing. Instead, there was only additional maturity and a graceful bearing. When he thought about himself, he found that was already old beyond recognition.

“Thank you for your helping hand, Your Excellency the Holy Spirit. At the same time, I would also like to congratulate Your Excellency on your promotion to Limit Douluo,” said En Ci from the depths of his heart.

Were it not for the Holy Spirit Douluo’s timely appearance on that day, it would have been very difficult to protect Tang Wulin even with the combined might of Hu Jie, Tang Wulin and himself.

The Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa was not only powerful, but his abilities were also filled with all sorts of secrets that were impossible to prevent. En Ci was not as skilled in swiftness. Moreover, there was still a difference between Ha Luosa and En Ci’s cultivation base. Tang Wulin would truly be in danger had this continued in such a manner.

Moreover, this was the capital of Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, and Tang Wulin had just become the champion in the Battle of Five Gods. If the Tang Sect’s Sect Master died over here just like that, then there was nothing Star Luo Empire could do to clear itself off the offense anymore.

Fortunately, Holy Spirit Douluo came over just in time. It was quite apparent that her strength had a certain level of suppression on the Underworld Douluo to the point where that elite powerhouse was forced to back down.

“The Holy Dragon Douluo is too kind.” Yali nodded toward him, but her attitude was obviously a little distant. She did not have a very good impression of the man before her.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters had just run over in a huff. Everyone in the group was looking a little fatigued.

“Big Brother, are you alright? There were so many monsters encircling us earlier. We would have been in trouble if we had not come prepared.”

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Tang Wulin nodded toward his companions.

With the Holy Dragon Douluo escorting them, the group returned to the Tang Sect’s headquarters together. En Ci remained with them until they had entered the headquarters before he left as he feared that the Underworld King Douluo would turn back and fight again.

Tang Wulin’s good mood resulted from completing his mission had already faded away completely after such a horrible encounter. He sent his companions back to their rooms to rest while he followed the Holy Spirit Douluo to her room.

“Mother, it was fortunate that you were there today. If you hadn’t been, who knows what would have happened to me.” This was the first moment Tang Wulin could finally feel relieved after the battle.

Any man would be afraid of death and Tang Wulin was no exception, especially when he was to meet his doom under such baffling circumstances.

Yali had an extremely solemn expression on her face. “I’ve always known that our enemies were very powerful, but I didn’t expect that they’d managed to win over the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa. Do you still remember the arrival of that great catastrophe all those years ago? At the time, your godfather had not only withstood the explosion from a rank-12 Godkiller fixed soul ammunition, but he was also fighting against many of the Holy Spirit Cult’s powerhouses simultaneously. One of them was an elite soul master sent by the Holy Spirit Cult of the same rank as this Underworld King Douluo. Otherwise, how could your godfather fall so easily with his abilities? The opposing side’s line-up was already very powerful at the time. Little did I know that there was still someone like the Underworld King Douluo hidden in the dark.”

Tang Wulin spoke, “Mother, I was just about to ask you something. Is there any distinction between Limit Douluos of this rank? I saw that the Holy Dragon Douluo was almost rendered incapable of counterattacking the Underworld King Douluo. He was heavily suppressed by the opponent. I couldn’t even resist when I was attacked by the Underworld King Douluo. Why is that so?”

Yali nodded and answered, “I think that it’s about time for me to tell you the secrets of the upper echelons. This is the situation. The rank of Limit Douluo is also divided into many stages. The difference between each stage is rather vast. Just like me, I belong to the stage of just reaching Limit Douluo rank. The process is known as metamorphosis. It is the metamorphosis that allows the person to slowly break away from mankind’s scope. When this process is completed, I will know what it is to be a Divine-ranked soul master.”

“Why are all Limit Douluos advancing in the direction of Divine rank? It’s entirely because they have all truly experienced a Divine-ranked aura.”

“At the same time, my lifespan is also elevated by a great amount after breaking through to Limit Douluo-rank.”

Tang Wulin cracked into a smile for the first time that night upon hearing that. It was great news, of course.

“The term ‘Limit Douluo’ is referring to a human that cultivated to his or her limit. When the concept was formed in the beginning, it was considered to be just that. However, with the passing of time, mankind continued to develop. There are some small realms that go beyond even the Limit Douluo rank. These realms actually reached different ranks of cultivation base for all Limit Douluos.”

“Those that are just entering Limit Douluo rank and begin the metamorphosis process are known as quasidemigods or pseudodemigods. By the time my metamorphosis has stabilized, I can gradually step into demigod rank. The vast majority of Limit Douluos are at this rank. For example, the Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci is still roaming at the demigod rank.

“However, there are also some specially privileged people who can enter another realm by working hard continuously and improve their comprehension of the true principles before attempting more breakthroughs. Those people are known as quasigods or pseudogods. It is only by achieving this realm that a person’s lifespan will be elevated once again and they live up to just over three hundred years. Your godfather was at this realm, as is the Underworld King Douluo that you’ve met today. That is the reason why you feel that Holy Dragon Douluo finds the Underworld King Douluo a little overwhelming. It is the disparity in ranks.”

“The Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa was your godfather’s teacher. He is a force from the same generation as the Sea God’s Pavilion’s Master before your godfather. The Sea God’s Pavilion Master of that generation, His Excellency the Heaven Blessing Douluo, once said that Ha Luosa was the embodiment of the world’s negative aura and that he was the messenger sent by Heaven as punishment for humanity’s destruction of the Douoluo Continent’s environment. He is an especially privileged person, and similar to you, he is even considered an incarnation of our plane.”

“What?” Tang Wulin spoke in astonishment, “The Underworld King Douluo is a planar incarnation? How is that possible?”

Holy Spirit Douluo spoke in a deep voice, “There’s nothing impossible about it, seeing as how it is reality. The lord of the plane doesn’t only need someone like you, who is capable of restoring nature. At the same time, redundancy needs to be taken out too. Mankind’s development has been far too swift, to the point where we have already surpassed the lord of the plane’s control. He will be intentionally creating troubles for humanity at this moment. You should understand a principle that the lord of plane not only created mankind, but also many other living creatures. For example, the soul beasts came before humans. Those that are already extinct were his offspring too. Can you say that he is not angry that one of his children was killed by another?”

“Thus, that grandteacher of yours declared that Ha Luosa was born out of God’s will. The underworld aura that he controls is exceedingly peculiar and there has been nothing like it to this day. Ha Luosa is not that evil on his own, but his abilities are utterly terrifying. Decades ago, the Heaven Blessing Douluo was already no match for him when he was fighting against Ha Luosa for the second time had he not been relying on Shrek Academy’s inner secrets. The Heaven Blessing Douluo was also a Limit Douluo that had only achieved demigod rank. However, he was elevated to quasigod rank temporarily due to the amplification of the ancient gold tree in the Sea God’s Pavilion at the time.”

“Your godfather ascended to quasigod rank after a few thousand years as fast as he could. Only then he was able to wipe out all sorts of evil spirits. Meanwhile, the Underworld King Douluo had already disappeared by then. Thus, I can’t say that your godfather would be capable of defeating this Underworld King Douluo in a one-on-one battle even if he was still alive. Thus, there is no need for you to be bothered by today’s encounter if you found yourself at all lacking when fighting against him.”
