Chapter 820 Gu Yuena: I Believe in the Man I Fancy!_1

Luo Yu, upon hearing that he could call upon the planar power again, relaxed.

He asked with a hint of confusion,

"You were reluctant to fuse with me before, so why the sudden change of heart?"

The Spirit of the Plane paused for a few seconds before responding,

"I may not understand the true nature of those deities in the Divine Realm, but I understand you."

"Understand me?" Luo Yu asked in bewilderment.

The Spirit of the Plane said ethereally,

"Ever since you, a foreign soul, came to Soul Land, I've been secretly observing you."

"To other beings, there's nothing special about you, but to me, you're like a bright star in the night, impossible to miss."

Luo Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Thank goodness the Spirit of the Plane is neutral; otherwise, he might have been killed outright when he was weak.

The Spirit of the Plane continued.

"From your transformation into the Emperor's Auspicious Beast to your current human form, garnering such strength, I've been silently watching all that you've done."

"After evaluating, I believe you're a good person."

"Faced with the abyssal invasion of Soul Land, I'd rather place my trust in you, whom I acknowledge, than that so-called Asura God King."

Luo Yu's mouth twitched.

The Spirit of the Plane can give out 'good person' cards too?

I thought you might praise me a little more, but you just brushed me off with 'you're a good person'?

Wait a minute!

Luo Yu suddenly realized something and his brain buzzed.

He felt somewhat embarrassed.

"You... You haven't been watching me even when I'm sleeping, have you?"

"Rest assured, I don't know anything about the things you and your women do," said the Spirit of the Plane.

"Damn it!"

Luo Yu felt like jumping up and extinguishing the orb of light in front of him.

So utterly that not even ashes would remain.

Are you really dumb or just pretending, talking like this is burying your head in the sand.

Luo Yu, outwardly as steady as an old dog, was inwardly panicking to death.

The thought of those fancy tricks he played all being known to the other party?

Although the Spirit of the Plane lacked emotions, the idea of someone watching with hidden eyes while doing those things made him very uncomfortable.

"Pfft."

The Spirit of the Plane said calmly,

"Hey, I'm not a human or a beast; I don't understand your biological habits at all."

"I'm only observing your conduct. I couldn't care less about that kind of thing."

"Heh."

Luo Yu's lips curled into a half-smile, not saying much more.

He sat in meditation to recuperate his soul power and to adjust to the multiple areas within his body infused with planar power.

The battle with the Abyssal Emperor gave him new insights in many areas that he needed to properly digest.

...

Three days later, Luo Yu's aura had fully recovered, becoming complete and perfect,

and even seemed to have advanced further.

Luo Yu said to the white orb of light in front of him,

"If I asked you to fuse with me again now and borrow the planar power, there would be no problem, right?"

"No problem," the Spirit of the Plane asked, "With the great enemy gone, what do you need the planar power for?"

Luo Yu narrowed his eyes and said coldly,

"Some debts are overdue for settlement."

"Are you going to..." the Spirit of the Plane trembled slightly.

"Let's go!"

Luo Yu raised his hand, drawing the Spirit of the Plane into his body.

A foot stomped down.

A silver light gate appeared in the air, with spatial power swirling through it.

He stepped boldly into it.

Distance shortened in an instant, arriving at the place where Gu Yuena had imprisoned the Asura God King.

Returning here, Luo Yu's feelings were complicated.

Under his Creation God Pupil, he could see the complex energy flows on the ground.

Initially, he was powerless to face his enemy and could only rely on Gu Yuena to sacrifice herself, sealing the Asura God and buying him time.

Now, he had the strength to stand on his own, having absorbed the essences of all Nine Great Dragon Kings and merged with the power of the Douluo plane.

Out of caution, he began to set up a Trapping and Killing Formation around himself.

...

Deep within the underground world.

A dense maze of Silver Chains wrapped around a figure in dark red armor, exuding a divine aura.

The Asura God's dark red armor continuously emitted blood-red murderous energy, breaking apart the Silver Chains.

But soon, more Silver Chains formed, steadfastly locking him up, without giving him the chance to break free.

"Give it up, Asura."

"With me here, you'll never escape."

A cold voice rang out, as chilling as eternal Profound Ice, belonging to the silver-haired, stunningly beautiful girl seated at the center of the Silver Formation.

Although her snow-white peerless face showed signs of fatigue, her Purple Pupils were resolute and ice-cold, filled with hatred.

"Hahaha."

The Asura God King let out a jarring cold laugh, taunting:

"Silver Dragon King, you can trap me temporarily, but can you keep me trapped forever?"

"When it comes to the consumption of Divine Power, you cannot outlast me."

"Inevitably, you will undoubtedly die."

"You might as well flee now, perhaps you could then plead for your life from me."

Gu Yuena sneered:

"Thinking of shaking my resolve? Wishful thinking."

The Asura God King narrowed his eyes, he indeed was trying to shake Gu Yuena's resolve, hoping to utilize any slight fluctuation in her state of mind to burst forth with all his strength and break free.

Yet he hadn't expected that she wouldn't be swayed in the slightest, resolutely determined to fight to the bitter end with him.

"Is it worth it for you to do this?"

"Don't tell me you really think that human boy can match my strength before I break free?"

"I believe he can," Gu Yuena stated categorically.

"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous," the laughter of the Asura God King echoed throughout the entire sealed world.

"A mere human, living on this Soul Land with such sparse Spiritual Energy, cultivating a mere few decades, delusionally thinks they can contend with me?"

"I think you, Silver Dragon King, are grasping at straws in your desperation, having gone mad from fleeing for tens of thousands of years, your mind broken."

"I could easily crush that ant-like human as if crushing an ant, not to mention giving him a few more decades; what difference would thousands or tens of thousands of years make?"

"Besides, you can't trap me for that long."

"Once I'm free, I'll crush that boy into pieces right before your eyes; you'll know true despair then."

Gu Yuena's thin lips parted slightly, her smile cool and disdainful.

"Save your breath, Asura."

"The man that Gu Yuena fancies is no slouch."

"Perhaps one day, killing you will be as easy as slaughtering a dog."

The Asura God King laughed heartily.

"Do you yourself believe what you're saying?"

"Hmm, the boy indeed has some talent, but among all the Divine Kings in the Divine Realm, who wasn't a talent that crushed an entire plane at the time?"

"If that boy had tens of thousands of years, perhaps he might indeed be able to stand on equal footing with me, but in this brief period?"

"He only has despair and death to look forward to."

Gu Yuena bit her lip, her Purple Pupils defiantly raised, and she stubbornly said:

"Despair and awaiting death?"

"That's not his style."

"He will come to save me."

The Asura God King's laughter grew wilder.

"All this is just a beautiful fantasy of yours."

"You know you can't defeat me, can't defeat the Divine Realm, so you cling to hope from a human ant."

"Face reality."

"As for that ant coming to save you? What a joke, how could he dare?"

"Right now, he's probably still scraping by outside."

"Maybe he's even toying with other women, having long since forgotten you, hahaha."

Every word from the Asura God struck Gu Yuena's heart like a knife.

Gu Yuena's lips turned pale, but her Purple Pupils remained firm.

"No."

"I believe in him."
