The Dark Side's Reaction, the Second Dou God!

--- Chapter 257 ---

Orchid God.

Everyone's breath hitched in awe.

She has succeeded!

She has achieved the impossible!

THE DOU GOD REALM!!

They stared at Lan Rou and longed for her cultivation realm. If they could have such power, they could die happy.

However, they couldn't even be jealous about it. They knew the Dou God Realm's Breakthrough was not a simple matter.

As Dou Half-Saint and Dou Saints, they knew better than playing around with their long-spanned lives.

The Heavenly Tribulation Lan Rou underwent gave them a brief outline of how dangerous it was to attempt a breakthrough into Dou God Realm. If they went through the same hardship, they weren't confident they would leave something behind in their attempt.

Maybe only their memory and name would get left behind. Their body, soul, and spirit would get reduced to nothingness.

Suddenly, Lan Rou glanced at them and waved her hand.

"Outsiders, begone!"

Her voice stirred the world as every 'observer' around the Fallen Orchid Sect was 'instantly' sent back to their original location, and any wormhole or spatial tears they left behind in the Demon Region ceased to exist.

At the same time, the space-time fabric around the Demon Region also gets fortified, preventing another invasion from happening.

Luo Bingbing was still actively slaying the 'undead' dispatched by the Hall of Soul but was surprised when she saw them just turned into dust and light particles without a chance of regenerating back.

She sheathed her sword and turned around, facing the direction of the Fallen Orchid Sect. "Lan Rou... Her cultivation has reached Dou God Realm. The pinnacle of this Plane."

"No, it's not a true pinnacle, only an entry-level of Dou God. She has yet to stabilize her realm."

"How impressive..."

Although Luo Bingbing knew Lan Rou received assistance from Baek Ain to reach this stage, she was still impressed because breaking Planar Law as a native was a 'commendable' endeavor.

Even those lofty elders and cultivation experts in the Great Thousand World won't recklessly break through and charge at the Heavenly Tribulation's strikes like Lan Rou.

That's no different than courting death.

"Hmm?" Luo Bingbing sensed a spatial tear wrapping her body gently and teleported her from the border.

"Well, she's also thoughtful."

After saying that, Luo Bingbing instantly vanished from the mountaintop and appeared near the Fallen Orchid Mountain Range.

She blinked and saw Lan Rou hugging Ain, making her pout her mouth a little. She glanced at the area around her and noticed the destructiveness of Dou God's breakthrough.

"No wonder this Plane is unique. Even though there is only Dou Qi, a low-level Planar Energy, cultivating it is good for the foundation."

"I wonder what would happen if Hubby converted his Dou Qi to Spiritual Energy instead of Genesis Qi. The latter is more impressive, but Spiritual Energy is not weak either."

"Mistress Luo." greeted Bai Linglong, who appeared from thin air.

"Linglong, huh?" Luo Bingbing recognized the acting leader of Behemoth Paradise and nodded. "It seems you're not wasting your time at the Behemoth Paradise. One Star Dou Saint is not bad."

Bai Linglong humbly answered, "Everyone can be 1 Star Dou Saint with enough resources and Dou Technique."

"Is that so?" Luo Bingbing didn't mind Bai Linglong's humbleness.

However, their reunion was cut short by a sudden thunderclap.

At the south of the Dou Qi Continent, wide-ranged thunderclouds covered the entire region. Everyone was familiar with this procedure because this was none other than the phenomenon of Dou God's Breakthrough!

Baek Ain frowned slightly, "To think they immediately started to make a move like this... What's the source of their confidence? The Nihility Devouring Flame?"

Lan Rou beside Baek Ain narrowed her eyes, "No, it's not just the Nihility Devouring Flame. You know that breaking into the Dou God Realm required more than that."

"One must need peak Soul Realm, peal Blood Qi, and Origin Qi from the Planar Realm."

"I met the first two requirements because I reincarnated three or four times and possessed Six Path Behemoth's bloodline. I got Origin Qi thanks to your interference."

"When I reached Dou God Realm, I realized the Dou Qi Plane's boundary is fragile. Since I knew it was fragile, I felt I could break it using my full power."

"However, this means the Hall of Souls and Hun Clan also have a method to break it somehow, converting Void Energy from the Dimensional Gap into Origin Qi."

"I also sensed an eerie aura coming from that direction."

"It's not exactly like those from Hall of Souls, Hun Clan, or even the Nihility Devouring Flame."

"Yet more sinister than them!"

"Huh, that's weird... How come I can't sense that aura?" Baek Ain felt something off.

He's technically the strongest in this Lower Plane, but he wouldn't look down on others because of that.

"It's most likely an Otherworldly Ghost Clan," said Luo Bingbing. She walked to Baek Ain and Lan Rou calmly.

"Otherworldly Ghost Clan?" Baek Ain tilted his head. He has never heard of such a clan before.

Luo Bingbing sighed in astonishment, "It's normal if you don't know about them, Hubby. Even I thought they were just a myth."

"Otherworldly Ghost Clan is a terrible existence from the Great Thousand World. In legend, many records said that the Otherworldly Ghost Clan is an accumulation sin of the universe, capable of depriving Plane and World with their frightening devouring power."

"They also have another name..."

"What is it?" Lan Rou asked in curiosity.

"Yimo!" Luo Bingbing answered solemnly.

Meanwhile, hearing "Yimo" mentioned by Luo Bingbing, Baek AIn couldn't help but recall some memories of his past. The Great Thousand World is an enormous upper plane/upper world where countless races and beings interact. The Great Thousand World resides over countless lower planes(dimensions), including the Dou Qi Plane.

However, there is also another world in the lower world that Baek Ain knows very well. The World of Martial Ancestor/Zenith World!

In the story of Wu Dong Qian Kun, the last boss is none other than the Yimo Tribe, an otherworldly species from a different Plane.

Baek Ain didn't expect "Yimo" to appear here.

"Can we stop them?" Lan Rou stared at Luo Bingbing.

Luo Bingbing shook her head, "We can try, but Yimo would most likely stop us from doing it. We can only watch one of those trash ascend to the Dou God Realm."

"Well, well, well. It makes things more annoying than I thought." Baek Ain commented with a faint smile.

"Yet you still have time to smile." Lan Rou rolled her eyes. "Tell me, does this Yimo pose a problem to you?"

Baek Ain shrugged and replied, "If they are as strong as Bingbing described, I might have some problems."

"Hmm... But would you lose, Hubby?" Luo Bingbing knew the strength that Baek Ain showed her was merely the tip of the iceberg. He should have the strength equivalent to the Heavenly Sovereign now.

Baek Ain flashed a smile, "Nah, I'd Win."

Hearing Baek Ain's reply, Lan Rou and Luo Bingbing couldn't help but sigh in relief. They are confident with his strength.

Meanwhile, the thunderclouds on the Dou Qi's South Region are rumbling loudly before a menacing red light scatters it instantly.

Roar!

Several crimson lightning dragons descended to the South Region, raining anything beneath them with pure destruction.

However, no one expected this Heavenly Tribulation to end like this.

Suddenly, a giant maw, consisting of ashy-dark flame and some white razor fangs, appeared and devoured the crimson lightning dragons.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

The giant maw chewed on the Heavenly Tribulation, rendering everyone speechless. Some even shivered at the thought of power behind this maw.

As the giant maw devoured the Heavenly Tribulation, the world welcomed another birth of Dou God!

Yet unlike Lan Rou, who basked in glorious light, this Dou God is born with overwhelming darkness.
