Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

This alternate dimension is not large, only about 10,000 square kilometers, and in the center of the alternate dimension is a huge black water lake.

Black mist swirled around the lake, and four demon figures could be vaguely seen within it.

The gravity in the alternate dimension is very high, about five times that of Earth. Jia Su couldn't resist the gravity here and was half-kneeling on the ground.

Ashura didn't react much; he was granted immense combat power, so this gravity was nothing to him.

After a while, Gasu spoke, pointing to the distant Blackwater Lake: "My lord, Carrick and his three trusted warriors are cultivating in that lake."

Luo Yan nodded, but did not step forward immediately. Instead, he asked Jia Su, "Do you know what this alternate dimension is, and what the Blackwater Lake is?"

Since arriving here, Luo Yan felt his cells were much lighter. Even a casual breath of the black mist in the air made him feel cheerful, and his combat power subtly increased.

Gasu replied, "Lord Carrick said that this alternate dimension is part of the Dark Demon Realm, and that Blackwater Lake is the Dark Demon Pool, an energy lake formed by Lord Carrick using secret methods to steal energy from the Dark Demon Realm."

"Carrick has such abilities. No wonder his strength reached over a million later on. It seems that in addition to the training in hell, the Dark Magic Pool also played a role."

Based on Luo Yan's perception, Carrick currently only has a combat power of around 900.

After Carrick broke through the Hell Vortex and returned to the human world, his strength exceeded one million.

The environment in Hell is harsh, but not enough to improve Carrick's abilities that much.

It's estimated that Carrick was able to unleash his full power, increasing his strength by several thousand times, after returning from hell and relying on this magic pool.

The arrival of Luo Yan and his group had already alerted Carrick, who was cultivating. He sat cross-legged in the demon pool, not even lifting his eyelids, and instructed the three elite warriors of the Demon Fiend Star beside him:

“Jiage, Liqi, Shansu, kill those two strangers and bring Jiasu here.”

Three warriors emerged from the demon pool, their bodies shrouded in a terrifying aura. Each of them possessed a combat power of around two hundred, comparable to Piccolo Daimaou.

Any one of them could easily destroy a city and cause a terrible catastrophe if they came to the human world.

The powerful aura impacted Jiasu's mind, causing him to feel despair.

Perhaps his decision was wrong, and that he shouldn't have joined forces with Ashura and his group.

Jia Su is short-sighted and cannot read qi, so naturally he cannot judge the strength of either side.

In the eyes of true powerhouses, these three elite warriors were nothing more than slightly stronger ants.

"Anyone who trespasses into the Demon Pool will die."

"As for you, Gasu, bringing outsiders into the Demon Pool is a betrayal of Lord Carrick, and you will be punished by Lord Carrick himself."

The leader, Jia Ge, roared loudly.

Gasu shuddered and subconsciously protested, "Lord Carrick, I was coerced! It was Ashura and his men who broke into the Demon Palace and forced me to lead the way."

Carrick, in the middle of the lake, opened his eyes and looked at the nonchalant Ashura: "You've got some nerve. Who gave you the confidence to invade my castle?"

“Carrick, you brat, I’ve always been very bold. So what if I storm your castle? In the Demon Realm, the strong are respected. If you don’t have the strength, you’ll be kicked off the throne of the Demon King.”

Ashura was a contemporary of Carrick I, so naturally he wouldn't give face to Carrick II, a junior, and spoke to him without any politeness.

Carrick was furious, his face ashen, and he ordered, "Kill them, kill them all! Get rid of the rebels outside the castle too, and hang all their bodies at the castle gate to dry."

Upon receiving the order, the three soldiers launched an attack without hesitation.

The first target was Luo Yan, who stood there silently.

"A bunch of small fry, don't disturb my senses."

Luo Yan waved his hand, and with a whooshing sound, he sent three warriors flying backward.

The powerful palm strike crushed the three warriors, shattering their bones and ribcages. In the blink of an eye, all three were unconscious.

Since learning that the energy here originated from the Dark Demon Realm, Luo Yan has been quietly trying to comprehend this energy, hoping to use it to enhance himself.

This pure dark energy leaked from the Dark Demon Realm; it is a high-level dimensional energy, stronger than planetary energy, and more compatible with Luo Yan's bloodline.

Absorbing this dark energy amplifies combat power more than absorbing the sun's energy; the only drawback is that absorbing dark energy does not increase lifespan.

Luo Yan was trying to sense the source of this dark energy, but was disturbed by a few henchmen. Displeased, he casually struck them away.

"what?"

Carrick looked surprised when he saw Luo Yan defeat his elite warriors so easily.

"Who is this person? His strength is so great."

Carrick finally rose from the demon pool, his face grave as he looked at Luo Yan: "Was it you who ordered Asura to attack my demon palace?"

Luo Yan was still sensing the source of the dark energy and ignored Carrick's question.

"Damn it, he's ignoring me."

The diminutive Carrick felt deeply humiliated and began to gather his energy to transform.

Dark energy flowed continuously into Carrick's body, and his short body, which was less than 1.2 meters tall, seemed to be inflated and expanded continuously. In just an instant, he turned into a muscular man who was more than two meters tall.

After transforming, Carrick's combat power soared to over a thousand.

"If you won't talk, then die! Big Explosion Attack!"

Carrick extended his palm and launched an attack on Luo Yan. The ki blast hit Luo Yan, causing a huge explosion.

“You’re not even trying to dodge. You’re dead.” Carrick was very confident in his strength and thought that Luo Yan had already been eliminated by him.

However, Ashura and the others standing behind Luo Yan did not think so.

Ashura could see it clearly from behind; the explosive attack hadn't even budge Luo Yan in the slightest.

As the smoke cleared, Luo Yan was still in a daze, his clothes still completely clean.

"How is that possible? He's not injured at all!" Carrick exclaimed incredulously.

A fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.

This person is a great threat; his combat power is definitely much higher than mine. We must kill him while he is distracted by something, or we will definitely be the ones who die.

Carrick charged at Luo Yan. Since the ki blast hadn't worked, he was going to kill Luo Yan with his fists.

Chapter 30 Carrick in Despair

In the Dragon Ball world, a power difference of more than double means it's basically a one-sided victory.

In the battle on Namek, Super Saiyan 1 Goku, with a power level of 150 million, easily overwhelmed Frieza, who had a power level of 120 million. The difference between them was less than double!

As for Carrick compared to Luo Yan, the gap is more than double; it's like heaven and earth.

Carrick's current situation is like Krillin challenging Frieza—a futile attempt, like an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Luo Yan stood there quietly.

Carrick surrounded Luo Yan, throwing punches with all his might. His ferocious punches and kicks even tore through the fragile barrier, creating black lightning bolts.

Even the slightest lingering power leaked by Carrick stirred the black mist in the entire alternate dimension into turbulent waves, causing the distant Blackwater Lake to splash water more than a meter high.

However, Luo Yan showed no reaction whatsoever to Carrick's vigorous attacks.

Luo Yan's upright body remained completely still amidst the barrage of punches.

Luo Yan, whose entire body was covered in aura, was like a towering mountain. Carrick's attack on him was not even a breeze.

"Damn it, damn it, I refuse to believe I can't kill you! Die, die!"

Carrick's eyes were bloodshot, and he appeared to be insane, attacking with punches, kicks, and ki blasts at times, and with magic at others.

But it was all useless. The punches and kicks that struck Luo Yan's body were like hitting the hardest metal in the universe. The recoil force did injure Carrick's fists.

The magic struck Luo Yan's aura and immediately dissipated, posing no threat whatsoever.

"Compress the seal!"

When all attacks failed, Carrick used his sealing ability.

This compression seal is a skill that can shrink a person within a light circle and then suppress them in a container, very similar to the Demon Sealing Wave.

In the original story, when Carrick attacked the temple, he used this skill to deal with Bobo, shrinking Bobo down and holding him in the palm of his hand.

A halo enveloped Luo Yan, and Carrick desperately used his skills to try and compress Luo Yan.

However, sealing skills are difficult to be effective when the opponent's aura or dimensional power is particularly strong, far exceeding that of the caster.

For example, with the Demon Sealing Wave, if the opponent's energy is too strong, it is difficult to seal it successfully.

For example, Buu's Transformation Beam, which turns people into candy beans, can also be considered a sealing skill.

This beam of light was invincible against the Supreme Kai, but after turning Vegito into a candy bean, it was completely unable to seal Vegito's movements.

Vegito, who was transformed into a candy bean, even possessed his own consciousness and could attack Buu in his candy bean form.

Luo Yan's aura far surpasses Carrick's, as does his dimensional power.

Despite Carrick pushing his magic to its limit, the aura around Luo Yan showed no sign of shrinking.

"Seal me! Aaaaaah!"

Carrick's forehead veins bulged, resembling pythons, indicating he was exerting great effort.

The aperture started shaking violently, seemingly having an effect.

Carrick's eyes lit up at the sight of hope, and he increased his magical output, a trickle of purple blood flowing from his nose.

Click!

The aperture disappeared, the compression seal shattered, and Carrick's excited expression suddenly froze.

"No, this is impossible, this is impossible!"

Carrick gave a bitter smile.

He had given it his all, but the other party remained unmoved, not even glancing at him. How could his pride accept that?

Luo Yansheng withstood all of Carrick's attacks without sustaining a scratch, completely extinguishing Carrick's will to fight.

"I lost."

Carrick, dejected and defeated, seemed to have all his energy drained away.

It wasn't until Carrick conceded defeat that Luo Yan glanced at him briefly.

"Stand here and don't move."

Luo Yan found the source of the dark energy in the alternate dimension, used a freezing spell to immobilize Carrick, and then disappeared in front of him.
