Descending to the Lower Realm

Time flew by, and countless years passed.

Just that year, the daughter formed from one-third of Tang San's divine soul was about to descend to the Douluo Continent.

Deep within the Divine Forbidden Land, the long-silent Golden Dragon King suddenly spoke up with a reminder.

"You've stayed long enough. You can leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, an enormous golden dragon claw tore through layer after layer of sealing barriers, forcibly ripping open a gap. Without another word, he tossed Yu Chen straight out.

"Holy crap! Couldn't you be gentler?! That hurt like hell!"

Yu Chen was flung so hard that his bones nearly fell apart, and he howled in pain.

The Golden Dragon King did not indulge him at all, his tone utterly arrogant:

"You should be grateful I'm letting you leave in one piece. And you still dare complain?

If I were in a bad mood, I'd throw you straight into the spatial turbulence. Not even ashes would be left of you."

Yu Chen could not be bothered to argue with him. His body turned into a dazzling streak of golden light as he shot out of the Divine Forbidden Land and sped toward the passage leading to the lower realm.

Before he had flown far, he rushed into the passage from the God Realm to Douluo, narrowly brushing past Tang Wutong, who was preparing to descend.

Tang Wutong was in an exceptionally good mood at the time.

It was her first time descending to the Douluo Continent, and she was filled with anticipation. She had long wanted to explore and have some fun.

As she happily imagined it, a blinding golden flash suddenly streaked past the corner of her eye, moving at an absurd speed.

Tang Wutong blinked, somewhat curious. "Huh? What was that? A meteor?"

But in the next instant, an incomparably terrifying and boundless aura swept past her.

At that moment, she was completely stunned.

That pressure was several times more terrifying than even her father, Tang San!

"How is that possible... That aura was actually stronger than Dad's? Who was that just now?"

Elsewhere.

Yu Chen steadied himself, still shaken by the close call.

"Oh my god, that was close. I almost crashed into her!"

He grumbled inwardly. He had been flying too recklessly and had nearly caused a midair collision in the void.

It seemed he really could not fly so fast through the God Realm's passage in the future.

With that thought, he looked ahead.

A pale blue planar barrier appeared before him.

It was the barrier of Douluo Star.

Yu Chen's eyes lit up, and he felt a faint surge of emotion.

"I'm here? So this is the Douluo Continent?

It really does look a lot like the blue planet from my previous life."

Wait, from this height, what if he plunged straight down and crashed?

Yu Chen stared below, feeling increasingly uneasy. But there was no other option now; he could only grit his teeth and charge downward.

Clenching his teeth, Yu Chen adjusted his posture and kicked fiercely in the direction of his fall, forcefully stabilizing himself with this Knight's Flying Kick.

A few seconds later, with the cushioning force of Knight's Flying Kick, Yu Chen landed steadily and safely set foot on the Douluo Continent without incident.

He had finally landed safely and saved his own little life!

Yu Chen stood on the ground, rubbing his arm as he looked around in confusion.

"Where did I land?"

Towering ancient trees surrounded him, the forest dense beyond measure and utterly desolate.

He scratched his head, silently wondering:

"This place... isn't the Star Dou Forest, is it?"

Then he thought about it again and realized that could not be right, instantly growing gloomy.

"It probably isn't, right? But in this wilderness, what am I supposed to do next?"

Just as he was at a loss, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Huh? What's that?!"

His gaze passed through layers of trees, and the outline of a household could faintly be seen in a clearing ahead!

It looked like he could only head over there and ask someone for directions.

Just as he lifted his foot to move forward, still somewhat unaccustomed to the environment after arriving on the Douluo Continent, he instinctively examined his own condition internally. Then he froze—his Martial Soul had actually completed its awakening on its own the moment he landed.

With a thought, golden light spread through his limbs. The Golden Dragon King Martial Soul slowly appeared behind him. Yu Chen carefully sensed his Soul Power Level and was immediately shocked: his Soul Power had reached level twenty.

Thinking about it carefully, it made perfect sense. He was the Golden Dragon King's offspring, so what else could his Martial Soul be if not the Golden Dragon King?

After all, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, only one person in history had ever begun with Innate Soul Power at level twenty: Qian Renxue, ten thousand years ago. This was common knowledge to everyone on the continent.

Yu Chen withdrew his Martial Soul and continued onward until he finally found the village.

At the village entrance stood a white-haired old man leaning on a cane. Yu Chen hurried over and politely asked, "Hello, Grandpa. I'm lost. May I ask where this is?"

The old man looked Yu Chen over from head to toe. Seeing a child who appeared to be six suddenly emerge from the wilderness, his face was full of surprise.

"Hello, little fellow. My name is Little Jerry, and I'm the village chief here. Our village is called Tom Village, located in the western region of the Star Luo Empire."

"So that's where I am."

Seeing him alone, the village chief could not help asking, "Little fellow, why did you come to the wilderness all by yourself? Did you get separated from your family?"

Yu Chen casually made up an excuse. "I didn't get separated from them. I came out to have fun on my own and accidentally got lost."

The village chief smiled after hearing that and raised his hand to point out the way. "I see. Follow that road straight ahead, and you'll reach a nearby town."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Yu Chen gave the old man a slight bow in thanks, then prepared to set off along the road the village chief had indicated.

He had not gone far when he heard the sound of flowing water. A clear stream appeared before him.

After all that exertion, he had long been hungry. Yu Chen planned to catch a few fish to fill his stomach first, then, after eating his fill, calmly figure out what abilities his Golden Dragon King Martial Soul possessed.

He crouched by the stream and watched the fish swimming back and forth in the water while slowly mobilizing the Soul Power within him, gradually testing how to use his Martial Soul.

As he lightly activated his Bloodline Power, the fish beneath the stream were instantly stunned. One after another, they floated belly-up onto the shore. Counting them, there were exactly five.

He gathered some dry firewood and started a fire, skillfully preparing grilled fish using memories from his previous life.

He quietly muttered to himself, remembering that in the story of the Peerless Tang Clan, Huo Yuhao's grilled fish had been famously exceptional. Today was the perfect chance to see whose skills were better.

Now that he was full, it was time to properly experiment with his Martial Soul.

Yu Chen focused and circulated his Soul Power. In an instant, a pair of glittering golden dragon horns emerged from his head, magnificent and imposing. His hands slowly transformed into savage, razor-sharp dragon claws, while fine, tough dragon scales spread from his arms. His clothes were violently stretched apart and burst open.

He walked to the edge of the stream and lowered his head to look at his reflection in the water. He could not help marveling inwardly. This look was way too cool.
