"Cursed Technique Lapse-Blue, Cursed Technique Reversal-Red!"
Yang Lin crossed his hands, and two opposing spatial forces, one blue and one red, appeared behind him.
Then the two spatial forces abruptly fused.
Yang Lin assumed his opening stance. The fused power gathered at his fingertips, then twisted into a deep-purple mass of energy.
"Hollow Technique-Purple!"
Yang Lin flicked his finger, sending the deep-purple energy hurtling toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at incredible speed, accompanied by the low hum of the air.
Bei Bei watched in horror.
The instant the energy touched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, its five-meter-tall body became two and a half meters tall.
That was right-its waist had been annihilated.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear fell dead without even letting out a roar.
The deep-purple energy plowed a two-meter-deep trench through the ground along its path, annihilating every surrounding tree, rock, and clod of earth.
A fierce wind swept across the clearing, once again tousling the white hair over Yang Lin's forehead.
"All done!"
Yang Lin clapped his hands, looking utterly relaxed.
It was as though he had merely finished some minor task.
"Wow! Big Brother Yang, you're so strong!"
Huo Yuhao cried out excitedly at the sight of that terrifying strike.
Just as Big Brother Yang had said, he was the strongest. Even this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which could be considered a ten-thousand-year beast, had been defeated effortlessly.
"This kid is so strong! ...Damn! Why wouldn't that bastard fuse with me? If only I'd pushed harder back then!"
Tian Meng hollered inside the Sea of Consciousness!
"Annihilation. The embryonic form of the annihilation law..."
An aged voice slowly rang out within the Sea of Consciousness.
Tian Meng looked up. It was that black mass of energy.
"Hey! Who exactly are you? Why are you fighting me for this body? And what's this annihilation law?"
No matter what Tian Meng said after that, the black mass of energy gave no answer, as though it had fallen completely dormant.
"Hey, why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and check on your Xiao Ya."
Yang Lin patted the still-dazed Bei Bei and spoke with a smile.
Bei Bei came back to his senses, his expression complicated as he said,
"Compared to us Shrek students, you're much more of a monster!"
With the crisis here resolved, Bei Bei retraced his steps. He still had to make sure nothing else happened to Xiao Ya.
Seeing the immense admiration in Huo Yuhao's eyes,
Yang Lin raised an eyebrow. "Well? I told you I was the strongest, didn't I?"
That powerful confidence seemed almost ingrained in his bones.
Huo Yuhao nodded rapidly. "You're amazing, Big Brother Yang! From now on, you're the one I'll strive to catch up to!"
"Mm, you guys go on ahead. I'll clean up the battlefield."
Yang Lin waved Huo Yuhao and the others off.
Then, in a flash, he appeared before the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was now only two and a half meters tall.
A Soul Bone had also dropped in front of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
It was none other than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external right palm bone.
Its value rivaled that of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
Yang Lin casually put the external Soul Bone into his Storage Ring, then stored the remaining half of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear as well.
He could use this thing for some barbecue later.
After all, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear he had created was merely an empty shell, with neither consciousness nor a soul.
So Yang Lin had no qualms about eating it.
Throughout the entire plan, Yang Lin had been splitting his attention to control the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
He had held back its strength the whole time.
Otherwise, if it had been a real Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Bei Bei would have long since been flattened into a Bei-pancake with a single slap.
Yang Lin checked his gains from this encounter.
"Damn, three hundred and eighty thousand emotional value! I hit the jackpot!"
Seeing so much emotional value roll in after such a short time, Yang Lin couldn't help feeling delighted.
And his emotional value was still climbing rapidly.
Clearly, Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao had yet to recover from their earlier shock.
Once I have enough emotional value, I absolutely have to create a Super Douluo.
Yang Lin thought that even now, he still didn't have a single Titled Douluo among his fighting forces.
Although he had no actual Titled Douluo, Angel Yan and Hua Mulan already possessed combat power that rivaled one.
Angel Yan, in particular, was practically the strictest mother an Evil Soul Master could have.
With only Soul Saint cultivation, she could beat a Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master until they cried for their mother.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.
Inside Destruction Castle, the God of Destruction was reviewing his confrontation with Tang San.
Hiss! That was how I should have phrased it last time. If I'd said that back then, I definitely could have left Tang San speechless.
Destruction thought with some frustration.
He was the very picture of someone who had lost an argument, then replayed it afterward, regretting why he hadn't said this or that at the time.
There was no helping it. He and Tang San were both God Kings, so they were hardly likely to come to blows. They had to rely on verbal sparring instead.
And how could the God of Destruction's verbal skills possibly match Tang San's?
That was why he lost every debate with Tang San whenever the Divine Realm held a God King Conference.
The two newly arrived God Kings, Kindness and Evil, also seemed to be gradually drawn to Tang San's side by his silver tongue.
Even his wife, the Goddess of Life, occasionally supported Tang San, which infuriated the God of Destruction.
Just as the God of Destruction was about to continue his review, he suddenly sensed an exceedingly faint trace of law power.
He immediately extended his divine sense to investigate.
"This is... the annihilation law... the ultimate branch of the destruction law... it seems to be in the Douluo Plane."
Sensing that this law power originated from the Douluo Plane,
Destruction hesitated before extending a thread of divine sense to examine the Douluo Plane.
The Divine Realm's rules prohibited interference in the lower realms, but they said nothing about observing them.
His divine sense followed the trace of law power all the way to the Douluo Plane.
"This... the aura of a god! Someone is interfering in the lower plane!"
Before he could even locate the annihilation law, Destruction sensed a god's aura the moment he entered the Douluo Plane.
The discovery immediately excited the God of Destruction.
In his excitement, he even forgot why he had come to the lower realm.
The most important thing now was to get something on Tang San.
The Douluo Plane was Tang San's backyard. Wasn't it obvious who was interfering in the lower plane?
"This aura belongs to the Nine-Colored Goddess... good, good, good. How very interesting."
The Nine-Colored Goddess was one of Tang San's subordinates.
A mere Second-Level God would never have the nerve to interfere in the lower plane on her own, so she must have received Tang San's orders.
"Let me see what else you've been up to, Tang San!"
Destruction stopped concealing himself and opened his eyes wide.
Nine divine rings blazed in unison behind him.
He began a comprehensive scan of the Douluo Continent.
"Destruction! What are you doing?"
A strand of deep-blue divine sense directly blocked the God of Destruction's probing.
The blue and purple strands of divine sense faced each other from afar.
"Hah! I should be asking what you're doing! Who gave you permission to interfere in the lower realm on your own?"
Tang San's heart lurched, and he was about to argue his way out of it.
"Save your breath. I'm calling a God King Conference! Hmph!"
With that, he withdrew his divine sense.
Before you continue
