Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

"Xue'er, you... you succeeded?"

The Ice Emperor, who had been waiting outside the secluded cultivation place, was the first to sense that completely different sacred aura. He instantly appeared in front of the Snow Emperor, his emerald green eyes filled with excitement and disbelief.

Following closely behind were the enormous Ice Bear King Little White and the majestic Titan Snow Demon King, who also felt the intimate call and pressure originating from their blood and soul.

"Well, it worked."

The Snow Empress slowly rose to her feet, her long, snow-white dress fluttering even without wind. She looked at her closest companions and subordinates, and a warm smile, warm enough to melt glaciers, bloomed on her beautiful face.

"Divine consciousness, divine body, divine power, and my own divine position... I am no longer a soul beast, but the goddess of ice and snow."

Her words were soft, yet carried a weight as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Escaping the threat of heavenly tribulation, breaking free from the shackles of lifespan, possessing eternal life and the power to protect a region... all of this was something she never dared to dream of before.

The one who brought about all these changes was that seemingly gentle but unfathomable man—Lu Jingming.

Thinking of him, the icy, clear gaze in Xue Di's eyes involuntarily melted into a gentle spring stream, filled with gratitude and... a trace of indescribable tenderness.

"That's wonderful! Mom has become a goddess! That's amazing!"

Ice Bear King Xiaobai excitedly patted the ice surface, shaking the ground, his honest face full of joy.

"Goddess of Ice and Snow... My far north has finally found its own deity to protect it."

Titan Snow Demon King's voice boomed, filled with excitement and pride.

Hyotei flew directly to Yuki-tei's side, tightly grasped her hand, and tears welled up in her blue eyes.
"Xue'er... Congratulations, we have finally... waited for this day."

Xue Di grasped Bing Di's hand in return, her gaze sweeping over Bing Di, Xiao Bai, and A Tai, her voice gentle yet firm:

"Not only me, but all of you, everyone in the far north, will have opportunities in the future."

She paused and continued:
"Recently, a genius no less than the Black Tower Lady has come to his side. She is even more accomplished in the field of life than the Black Tower Lady. She is well-versed in the mysteries of life. Once this matter is settled, I will personally go to find her and ask her to think of a way for you to see if you can bypass or even break that damned curse."

Upon hearing this, Hyotei and the others' eyes blazed with intense hope.

They knew all too well how extraordinary Lady Black Tower's methods were, and that any genius who could rival her must also possess extraordinary abilities.

Even without something as extraordinary as the Herrscher Core, they might still find a way to become gods through other means such as bloodline modification and soul sublimation.

This trust stemmed from a blind admiration for Lu Jingming and the people around him, as well as a desire to break free from the shackles of fate.

"Are you going to Haiyuan City? I'll go with you."

Hyotei immediately said that she didn't want to wait a moment longer.

"Okay, but before that..."

Xue Di nodded slightly, and then with a thought, she sensed the distress message from Huo Yuhao, the "Spirit King" of the Eighth Throne, transmitted through the "World Serpent" network, along with the approximate location and enemy information.

A hint of amusement appeared on her cool and beautiful face, and her icy divine power rippled slightly, causing the surrounding temperature to drop a few degrees.

"Just right."

The Snow Emperor murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with divine light.

"Having just condensed my divine position, I'm in dire need of a suitable opponent to test my current level of power... This ready-made 'touchstone' has delivered itself right to my doorstep."

She looked at Hyotei: "Hyou'er, get ready, we might need to... stretch our muscles."

As soon as she finished speaking, the divine power of the Ice and Snow Goddess was inadvertently revealed, and the sky over the entire core area of ​​the far north seemed to gather an invisible cold current.

Haiyuan City, the core area, a tranquil residence enveloped in soft starlight and soothing melodies.

Unlike the desolate and bustling outside, the air here is filled with warmth and tranquility.

On the soft, spacious sofa, Lu Jingming leaned lazily against the robin's lap, closing his eyes to rest and enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

The robin gently embraced him, its long fingers lightly combing through his hair, humming a soothing melody.

On the carpet beside them, the exquisitely beautiful little Lu Mingyin was playing happily with a magical toy that could light up and sing, occasionally letting out a clear, cheerful laugh that added a touch of life to the tranquility.

Suddenly, Lu Jingming received a message from Huo Yuhao, the "Spirit King" of the Eighth Throne, which was urgent and seemed to be asking for help.

Lu Jingming did not open his eyes immediately; his eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly.

He instantly connected with and analyzed Hatsune Miku.

He already knew about Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's descent to the mortal realm through Hatsune Miku's surveillance.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao encountered these two people and was even chased by them.

It seems that Xiao Wu's affair has been exposed; otherwise, given Huo Yuhao's status, he wouldn't be being hunted down by Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Now, things are about to get interesting.

He slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze devoid of any emotion, as if he had just woken up from a nap.

He straightened up slightly, breaking free from the robin's embrace; the movement was natural and fluid.

"Hmm?" The robin stopped singing, looked at him with questioning eyes.

Lu Jingming did not answer directly, but instead bent down and picked up his beloved daughter Lu Mingyin, who was playing enthusiastically.

The little guy was suddenly picked up by his father. He was stunned for a moment, then grinned and let out an even more cheerful laugh, reaching out his chubby little hands to grab Lu Jingming's face.

A hint of doting flashed in Lu Jingming's eyes. He lowered his head and affectionately rubbed his cheek against the little guy's soft face, then gave him a loud "smack" kiss.

"Hehehe..." Lu Mingyin was amused and kept laughing, waving her little hands.

This heartwarming scene brought an even brighter smile to the robin's face, a radiant glow of happiness that emanated from within, the happiness of a wife and mother.

Lu Jingming held his daughter and played with her for a while before gently handing her back to the robin.

"I'm going out to do something."

He gave the instructions in a calm tone, as if he were just handling a routine official business.

"Mmm." The robin took her daughter, nodded gently, and didn't ask any more questions.

She understands Lu Jingming and trusts his abilities.

In this vast continent and even the entire universe, there are few things that can trouble him.

Since he spoke so casually, there was no need to worry. She simply adjusted her holding position to make her daughter more comfortable, then continued humming the unfinished soft melody, her gaze gently following Lu Jingming's retreating figure as he walked towards the door, her face full of contentment and tranquility.

She loves her life now. She has a loving and strong person, a lovely and healthy daughter, her own singing career, and a group of "sisters" with different personalities but who get along well... It's all like a dream.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if... my brother could be here too.

Such thoughts occasionally cross the mind of a robin.

The older brother who always shouldered the responsibility, cared for her deeply yet demanded high standards of her.

She had asked Lu Jingming several times if she could also bring her brother into this world.

Each time, Lu Jingming would give a slightly helpless smile and gently brush it off by saying that his "power of truth" was temporarily insufficient.

The robin is perfectly aware of everything.

Where is the "power of truth" insufficient?
Lu Jingming now controls a planet, connects to parallel worlds, and has even begun to touch other planes. Summoning his brother is not easy, but it is by no means impossible.

The real reason... well, thinking about her brother's notoriously sister-obsessed nature, Robin felt a bit helpless.

If he knew that his precious little sister was not only with a man of "unknown origin" but had also become one of his many confidantes and even had a child with him... he would probably go berserk on the spot. Even if he couldn't beat Ah Ming, he would definitely cause a huge uproar and give Ah Ming a headache.

Thinking of this, the robin couldn't help but curl a sly yet knowing smile at the corner of its mouth.

Never mind, no rush.

Anyway, she and Ah Ming have plenty of time.

Now, let her enjoy this hard-won peaceful life.

As Lu Jingming stepped out of his residence, the warm smile faded from his face, replaced by his usual calm and profound demeanor.

He did not summon a large army, nor did he alert Black Tower, Nguyen Mai, or others.

With just a slight thought, his figure vanished silently from Haiyuan City, like ink dissolving in water.

Above the vast, boundless wilderness, the sky was a somber, leaden gray, and the howling wind whipped up dry dust.

Far from human habitation, only withered yellow grass swayed weakly in the wind, like an ancient battlefield forgotten by the world.

A streak of gray light, like a bird in flight, streaked across the sky; it was Huo Yuhao's body, guided by Electrolux's divine sense.

However, the momentum of this streak of light was suddenly cut off by a black phantom that appeared out of nowhere, faster and more agile.

The phantom seemed to "seep" directly from the folds of space, appearing precisely in front of the gray light without any warning.

The illusory image solidified, revealing Zhu Zhuqing's aloof and stunningly beautiful face and slender figure.

She didn't have any dazzling divine light around her, only a vague feeling of blending into the space as if she might disappear again at any moment, but her icy aura made the space in front of her freeze.

"That's it."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was not loud, but it clearly pierced through the strong wind and reached Huo Yuhao's ears.

Almost at the same moment Zhu Zhuqing appeared, a burst of golden light flashed behind her, like a blazing sun falling to earth. Dai Mubai's imposing figure landed with a thud, landing steadily a hundred meters behind her, forming a pincer movement with Zhu Zhuqing and completely blocking all escape routes.

His body was enveloped in the surging power of the God of War, golden flames rising and forcing back the surrounding dust to form a clear ring. His eyes were filled with fierce fighting spirit, firmly locking onto his target.

The three people stood facing each other in a triangle in the center of this wasteland.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense, and even the howling wind seemed to hold its breath at that moment.

Zhu Zhuqing's cold gaze pierced through the hazy aura surrounding Huo Yuhao, seemingly looking directly into the ancient remnant soul deep within him, and she spoke calmly:
"Give up your futile struggle. You can't escape. Although I don't know which deity you were in life, that you have survived to this day as a remnant soul and even protected this child... a remnant soul is still a remnant soul. Even if your rank was higher than ours in life, your origin is incomplete and your divine power is without foundation. You are no match for me and Mu Bai working together. Hand over Xiao Wu's whereabouts, and you may be spared the pain of your soul being scattered."

Her analysis was calm and precise, pinpointing Electrolux's greatest weakness at that moment.

It possesses advanced divine consciousness and skills, but lacks the sustained output of divine power and the support of a complete divine body.

Electrolux, who controlled Huo Yuhao's body, had a hint of helplessness and vicissitude in his gray eyes. His aged voice echoed across the wasteland:
"Alas... life is unpredictable, and fate is cruel. My disciple has had a life full of twists and turns, and his obsessions are deep. He has never given me any peace of mind. But since he has entered my school and received my teachings, this is the cause and effect. As a teacher, how can I entrust my disciple to outsiders?"

He was well aware of Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu's situation, and could only sigh at the capriciousness of fate.

However, what's done is done, the child has already been born, and it's too late for regrets now.

He knew that once Huo Yuhao fell into the other party's hands, the secret would inevitably be exposed under the divine means.

At that time, facing the overwhelming wrath of God King Tang San, Huo Yuhao would have no chance of survival, and even his newborn child might suffer.

For both public and private reasons, he had to protect Huo Yuhao.

"Stubborn fool, he won't listen to reason, so he'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Dai Mubai was already impatient, and upon hearing this, his anger flared even more.

He didn't waste any more words; the God of War always believed in overcoming skill with brute force.

Dai Mubai let out a low roar and stomped his right foot hard on the ground.

"Boom——!!!"

Centered on its landing point, the ground within a radius of a hundred meters was as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, instantly collapsing and cracking, with countless pieces of soil and rocks being blasted into the sky by the violent divine force.

He himself transformed into a humanoid meteorite burning with blazing golden divine flames, carrying a terrifying aura that could shatter everything, and crashed straight into Huo Yuhao.

Wherever the charge passed, the air was compressed and rubbed to the extreme, producing a thunderous roar and leaving behind a visible, distorted, and scorching vacuum trail.

This is the purest power and speed, embodying the indomitable fighting spirit of the God of War.

Almost at the same instant Dai Mubai made his move, Zhu Zhuqing also moved.

She didn't have the earth-shattering presence of Dai Mubai; her figure merely swayed slightly before disappearing from the spot, as if completely merging into the gaps in light and space.

It's not a high-speed afterimage, but a real, almost spatially flickering displacement.

The next moment, she appeared beside Huo Yuhao like a ghost, as if the distance between them had never existed.

Zhu Zhuqing pointed her fingers like knives, her fair palms shrouded in a dark, condensed light. The light was not dazzling, but it possessed an extreme sharpness that could cut through the soul and ignore defenses, silently slicing towards Huo Yuhao's neck and vital points.

Its speed was so fast that it even surpassed sound; the sound of air being torn apart barely rang out as the attack was about to strike.

This was a fatal blow, maximizing speed and integrating it into the attack; combined with her unpredictable movement, it was impossible to defend against. (End of Chapter)
