Before Xu Long returned, King Yemma had already fought the Grudge-Eating Beast.
The result was obvious: King Yemma, lost.
The Grudge-Eating Beast frantically devoured everything in sight, including the energy within King Yemma's body.
After several powerful attacks were absorbed, King Yemma decisively chose to give up.
This is cheating; there's no way to fight back!
I approached Xu Long with a try-it-out attitude.
If we win, everything is fine; if we lose, it's not a big deal either, since we're all doomed anyway.
Rumble!
A deafening explosion suddenly occurred, followed by an incredibly powerful impact.
A gray energy beam shot out, aimed directly at Xu Long.
Without any intention of dodging, Xu Long aimed his palm at the point of attack, and his pure Pure Yang Internal Force transformed into a semi-circular shield, blocking the impact of the energy pillar.
That's it?
Feeling the intensity of the attack, Xu Long was speechless.
It's scattered and not cohesive, large but not pure; it's just cannon fodder, assessment complete!
After giving his conclusion, Xu Long immediately launched a counterattack.
This Grudge-Eating Beast is enormous, with a diameter of over a hundred meters, and it's round and plump like a ball of flesh.
If it were shrunk down to its original size, it would be cute, but now it looks quite ferocious.
"Awooooo!"
The angry roar was filled with endless madness and greed. It seemed to have sensed the pure energy within Xu Long's body. The Grudge-Eating Beast's gaze was fixed on him, determined not to give up until it devoured him.
Bang!
With a single punch, a large hole immediately appeared in the round body of the Grudge-Eating Beast.
Countless resentful energies surged forth, seeping into the bodies of the surrounding Underworld creatures, causing further mutations.
"Awooooo!"
"Awooooo!"
"Awooooo!"
Mad, greedy roars echoed all around, and a whole host of bizarre creatures began attacking all the uncorrupted living beings in the vicinity.
Xu Long floated in the air, his entire body enveloped in blazing white light, and the gray resentment melted away like ice and snow upon contact with it.
"What a hassle!"
Xu Long sighed. He had originally planned to save his energy, but it seemed that wouldn't be an option now.
This Grudge-Eating Beast is indestructible; anything that comes into contact with its resentment will transform into a new Grudge-Eating Beast.
Or to put it another way, the Grudge-Eating Beast is just a shell; its true form is the terrifying resentment it exudes.
An ordinary person would have no way to deal with it, not even King Yemma, the ruler of the Underworld.
But Xu Long is different; in his eyes, this kind of troublesome character is actually just a weakling.
"Come here!"
A terrifying suction force erupted from his palm, drawing all the creatures corrupted by resentment towards him uncontrollably, only to be annihilated by his Pure Yang Internal Force.
The Pure Yang Limitless Body restrains all Yin attributes, and not only does it suppress and defeat them, but it completely Oblivion.
Without a trace, without leaving any impurity, it vanishes into thin air.
Like the sun in the sky, it is intense, aloof, and unique.
Before him, all evil and ghostly things will vanish.
One hand destroyed what was being corrupted by resentment, while the other hand plugged the hole it had created earlier.
Xu Long remained calm and composed, handling everything with ease.
"This..."
King Yemma was dumbfounded as he looked at Xu Long, who seemed to be stuck to the Grudge-Eating Beast, not far away.
He could sense that the terrifying Grudge-Eating Beast was weakening rapidly, at a rate hundreds of times faster than when it was devouring resentment.
Almost visibly, the size of the Grudge-Eating Beast continued to shrink.
In just ten seconds, less than one-fifth remained.
The resentment within the Grudge-Eating Beast was decreasing, as was Xu Long's Pure Yang Internal Force.
However, compared to the former, the consumption of Internal Force is negligible.
In comparison, it would take about ten thousand units of resentment to offset one unit of Pure Yang Internal Force, which is insignificant.
[Hidden Mission: 1. Defeat the Grudge-Eating Beast! Completed! Earn 5000 points!]
Hearing the notification sound in his mind, Xu Long stopped.
The Grudge-Eating Beast aren't actually that strong in combat; they're just very troublesome.
If not handled properly, the entire Underworld will descend into chaos, and all creatures will become new Grudge-Eating Beast.
At that point, there will be no other way but to demolish and rebuild the Underworld.
"This thing almost destroyed the Underworld? That's ridiculous."
After Oblivion all resentment, the Grudge-Eating Beast returned to its original form.
Round and chubby, cute and adorable.
Perhaps knowing that Xu Long had saved it, the Grudge-Eating Beast rubbed against Xu Long's hand repeatedly, much like a puppy.
"Go do what you're supposed to do, I don't have time for pets."
Xu Long pulled his hand out of the chubby arm of the Grudge-Eating Beast and prepared to leave.
But at that moment, the Grudge-Eating Beast opened its mouth and spat out a bead.
What is this?
Xu Long glanced at the bead, then his whole body trembled, and he immediately put it away.
" King Yemma, the problem is solved, send me back to Earth!"
"Thank you very much. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need my help in the future."
King Yemma very polite, and the Grudge-Eating Beast that had left him at a loss was easily defeated by Xu Long, which clearly showed that Xu Long's strength far exceeded his.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation; please accept it."
"Um."
Xu Long accepted the items, and then King Yemma waved his hand, disappearing from the spot.
The familiar feeling vanished in an instant, and Xu Long was back on Earth in a flash.
He had asked Kami and King Kai about this teleportation ability, and their answers were that one needed to be in harmony with this world, then Goten and nature, sacrifice one's own soul, and so on—a whole bunch of things that sounded mysterious but were actually utter nonsense.
Xu Long knew that this was just a smokescreen; in reality, it was the Main God interfering.
Although I'm disappointed, it's not entirely incomprehensible.
Spatial teleportation involves many aspects and is not something that can be learned easily.
Furthermore, this teleportation is only a fixed-point teleportation, with many limitations, making it not very worthwhile to learn.
"This is a huge windfall! I never expected to find something like this."
Xu Long held the contents of the Grudge-Eating Beast's spit-out in his hand, still unable to contain his excitement.
This is what caused the Grudge-Eating Beast to mutate, after which it frantically devoured everything it could.
World Force Crystal: Contains a large amount of World Force and is one of the basic elements that constitute the world. Consuming this item will temporarily make you a favored one of the world, greatly increasing your luck.
Simply put, this thing allows Xu Long to temporarily replace Son Goku and become the protagonist of the Dragon Ball world.
Although we don't know how long it will last, it could be a lifesaver in a critical moment.
The protagonist is God's favorite son, with beauties throwing themselves at him, mythical beasts fawning over him, powerful figures worshipping him, and treasures coming to his door automatically.
Some shameless protagonists can even get hit by magical artifacts while sleeping at home.
Who the hell can I complain to?
Besides this, the gift that King Yemma, gave him as a token of gratitude was also quite nice.
It's a C-rank weapon, and one that Xu Long can use.
