Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Hundreds of years ago, a landslide caused the entrance to the cave in the back mountain to collapse, and the precious gold energy contained inside dissipated, attracting countless gold-attribute soul beasts to gather and attack the Fire Mulberry Forest.

In that battle, the soul beasts of the Fire Mulberry Forest lineage suffered heavy casualties, and the Sun Worm King also perished.

During the first battle, the Sun Worm King had already surpassed 50,000 years of cultivation, and his bloodline was transforming into the Sun Worm Emperor. After his death, he left behind this precious soul bone.

This powerful skull, imbued with the power of the sun's true fire, is more valuable than most torso bones of the same level, making it almost the most precious type of soul bone below 100,000 years old.

Yan reached out and accepted the Crown of the Sun, then solemnly said to the Fire Mulberry Tree King, "I feel your sincerity. Rest assured, the soul beasts of the Fire Mulberry Forest lineage will not be harmed." As he spoke, his six soul rings flashed simultaneously, and his arms transformed into golden arms.

Today he's going to test his fighting prowess in this state. Those people from the Sun Moon Empire are just unlucky to have run into him.

When Yan's golden arms appeared, the Fire Mulberry Tree King's mental fluctuations suddenly became much more intense. The aura of the golden Behemoth was not only extremely intimidating to the dragon race, but also impossible for ordinary soul beasts to withstand.

Plants, in a sense, belong to the bottom of the soul beast suppression chain. At this moment, facing the powerful aura of the highest level, the fact that the Fire Mulberry Tree King only experienced intense mental fluctuations is already a testament to its composure.

"Battle Armor Possession, Flying Dragon Mech, Combine." Light flashed at Yan's waist, and dark golden battle armor instantly enveloped his entire body. Accompanied by a trace of energy fluctuation, a huge and strange flying dragon appeared in the Fire Mulberry Forest. It was Yan's final form of dual armor style, the Steel Flying Dragon Mech.

"The sun is so beautiful today, it's a good time to test the power of the Crown of the Sun." Yan looked up at the sun in the sky, then his body rose into the air and flew to the chest of the steel dragon, slowly merging into it to adjust the control of the mecha.

However, he did not bring the Sun Crown Soul Bone into the mecha; instead, it flew to the top of the mecha.

"Buzz..." As Yan moved inside the mecha, the mecha's dragon head emitted strange soul guidance fluctuations, and terrifying flame fluctuations began to emanate from the Sun Crown soul bone on its head. Countless solar powers were rapidly gathered above the Fire Mulberry Forest, forming a blazing fire cloud.

Near the Fire Mulberry Forest in the Jingyang Mountains, a large group of people who were moving rapidly suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky. The distorted, extremely hot cloud of fire hung above their heads, and everyone could feel the threat it posed.

"Is this the Sun Gaze? How can it be on such a scale? Could it be that among that group of Sun Bugs, there is a Sun Bug King with 100,000 years of cultivation?" At the front of the crowd, the royal elder of the Sun Moon Empire, a quasi-titled Douluo of level 90, was also filled with doubt and surprise.

This time, the Sun Moon Empire once again organized personnel to explore the Jingyang Mountains, intending to find and hunt the Sun Worms, mainly because of his idea.

After breaking through his seclusion, this powerful figure paid extra attention to information about spirit beasts that could benefit him, since he was about to choose his ninth spirit ring, a matter that could not be taken lightly.

He had naturally taken note of the last time those nobles and royal children were driven away by the swarm of sun worms. After analysis, he boldly concluded that behind these swarms of sun worms was a soul beast with at least 50,000 years of cultivation, and it was very likely that it was of the fire attribute.

A fire-attribute soul beast over 50,000 years old and related to the Sun Worm perfectly met all the requirements for his ninth soul ring, so he brought his people to the Jingyang Mountains.

Unexpectedly, they encountered such an attack as soon as they entered the mountains, possibly even by a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Chapter 305 The Descent of Light - Heavenly Fire Descends

"Everyone be careful." Among the Sun Moon Empire's team were many powerful individuals who, sensing the terrifying power, immediately warned everyone to scatter.

Their idea was good, but faced with a forbidden spell-level attack that was like a cleansing smear, this method was completely ineffective.

Above the Flying Dragon Mech, the Sun Gaze Soul Skill inherent in the Crown of the Sun Soul Bone was activated by Yan using special means. The Sun Power that the Sun Insect King, who had cultivated for 50,000 years, could gather was incredibly vast and intense.

It was as if a hole had appeared in the sky, completely swallowing, compressing, and converging sunlight within a radius of a kilometer, and the affected area was continuing to expand.

The intense golden-red light contracted inward at an astonishing speed, and the already intense and scorching fiery clouds above the Fire Mulberry Forest were now even more intensely red.

In just a few breaths, the golden-red light converging in one direction became increasingly deep in color, and the intense energy caused the void to distort, creating ripples like water.

The Crown of the Sun Soul Bone has become a miniature sun. With the Soul Bone skill and the powerful elemental control ability of the Flying Dragon Mech, most of the solar power within the Jingyang Mountains has been gathered, which has also made the energy gathered in this wave of attacks reach the level of a forbidden spell.

Forbidden Spell City Destruction: This level of attack can instantly destroy a city. It is the ultimate move that a human powerhouse below the level of a god can unleash.

In the Douluo Continent, since there is no magic system, there is no concept of forbidden spells. However, some Title Douluos' area-of-effect ninth soul skills can still achieve that level of destructive power, such as the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's all-out attack when he releases all his poison.

Now, with the support of the Flying Dragon Mech, Yan is using the Sun Crown Soul Bone to condense the power of the sun, making his next move reach the level of a forbidden spell, giving him an extra trump card.

Above the sky, a flying dragon circled the 'sun', seemingly playing with a pearl, but upon closer inspection, it was not quite like that.

As the dragon circled and flew, more light and fire elements converged, and the accumulated solar energy was instantly compressed and condensed.

The golden-red light in the entire sky was like a funnel, converging towards the crown of the sun.

On the land of Jingyang Mountain Range, many creatures near the Fire Mulberry Forest could feel the temperature rising.

Driven by instinct, many soul beasts fled the area immediately. Many powerful humans were also sweating profusely; some cowardly ones abandoned their groups and ran for their lives. Everyone knew that when all the light converged on that one point, that would be the terrifying moment when this powerful attack truly erupted.

The Soul Skill "Sun Gaze" is a rare multi-ability attack Soul Skill. Its greatest effect is not a direct attack, but rather the gathering of solar energy, which can be used in conjunction with the Soul Skills of multiple Sun Martial Souls, such as "Radiant Light" and "Solar Divine Light".

Moreover, this soul skill itself has powerful attack power, making it a god-level skill for martial souls or soul beasts with light or fire attributes.

However, because the energy gathered by the sun's gaze is so enormous, even a powerful millennia-old sun worm king generally cannot accumulate energy for too long to avoid self-immolation.

However, at this moment, the ever-expanding 'blazing sun' in the sky was still growing rapidly. If the energy inside suddenly erupted, even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to withstand. Now that it was still gathering, it naturally made the group of human powerhouses even more panicked.

At this point, the cowardly and afraid-of-death individuals would have already fled, but the truly strong understand that this move is impossible to dodge. No matter how fast you are, you can't catch up with a beam of light.

The most terrifying aspect of this attack, which incorporates light-elemental energy, is its speed. Unless you can instantly reach the speed of light, you might not be able to dodge its explosion; otherwise, it's just a matter of how far you are from the center of the blast.

Therefore, after a simple assessment, the group of experts with the highest cultivation levels present did not make many moves. Instead, they completed the Martial Soul Possession and prepared to join forces to withstand this burst of power. It would be certain death for one person to block it, but with so many of them, their chances of survival were still very high.

When the second sun appeared in the sky, this forbidden spell attack finally erupted. At this moment, the sky was so hot that it could melt iron and gold, reaching the temperature of the ultimate fire.

With a loud dragon's roar suddenly rang out, the first wave of liquid-like viscous solar fire descended, followed by a massive, blazing sun that resembled a meteor from the heavens, trailing a long arc of light as it flew diagonally to the ground.

When the ball of light hit the ground, there was no explosion at first, and not even a sound was heard.

Then, as if the end of the world had arrived, a terrifying sphere of light instantly expanded on the earth, engulfing everything within a kilometer radius, and continued to spread, bringing endless heat and death.

"Light Descends, Heavenly Fire Descends: The power of the sun contains light and fire. Under the baptism of this powerful force, those people will be severely injured even if they don't die." Yan did not throw the ball of light directly into the most densely populated area of ​​humans. His purpose was to drive away these powerful humans, not to cause a massacre.

As endless light and intense heat descended upon the earth, an energy storm erupted instantly, whipping up a second burst of dazzling light. Terrifying winds swept in all directions, and the energy waves kept the area bright for a long time, scattering countless figures and burying them.

Those who escaped the fastest ended up in the worst situation. When the aftershocks swept in from behind, they had no time to prepare or react. They were directly crushed onto the ground and buried by countless rubble and debris.

Fortunately, most of the people who came with that quasi-titled Douluo were Soul Masters with a ring of three or higher. Although this scene left them all injured, most of them were only seriously injured. Those who were actually killed were just unlucky and very few.

At this moment, the group of top experts in the epicenter of the eruption were also thankful for their survival. The wave of 'sun' had erupted right before their eyes, leaving a dark crater with a diameter of more than a kilometer on the ground.

When the attack was fully unleashed, they realized how wrong they had been. If such a terrifying attack had hit them directly on the head, none of them would have survived; the only difference would have been how many ashes remained.

Fortunately, the hidden Soul Beast King did not seem to have any intention to kill. They were only facing the aftershocks of this attack. Although their soul power was severely depleted, they were not killed, which can be considered a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

"Be careful."

What is this?

"Master Xu, Master Xu has been arrested."

"A spatial teleportation soul skill; this might be the method of that Soul Beast King."

"Xu Gongfeng is His Majesty's uncle, and the next generation of the royal family's Grand Master of Ceremonies."

"If something happens to him, we'll all be in trouble."

"Anyone who wants to try that person's methods again? I certainly can't withstand it." Just when the group of powerful figures thought the matter was over, a purple light suddenly appeared, enveloping the quasi-titled Douluo with the highest cultivation level in the center of the crowd. Before the group of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos could react, that figure had already disappeared from the spot.

After the powerful figures realized what was happening, they looked at each other in bewilderment. After discussing among themselves, they all stood there dumbfounded, not daring to move or speak. All their gazes were fixed on the direction of the Fire Mulberry Forest deep in the Jingyang Mountains.

Those who can cultivate to the level of Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo are not simple people, and it is easy to judge what the situation is.

In the current situation, the only person who could take someone away in broad daylight is probably that powerful figure who is suspected to be the Sun Insect King. However, it is strange that the powerful figure of the Sun Insect race would have the ability to teleport.

These people's questions will certainly not be answered. At this moment, in the Fire Mulberry Forest, the powerful member of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family is in a rather miserable state.

As a quasi-titled Douluo, his strength is among the strongest in both the Douluo Continent and the New Continent.

But at this moment, facing the figure in front of him who was clad in armor, had a pair of golden arms, and whose aura was only at the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor, this Title Douluo felt despair.

The power that drove him to despair came from those arms that seemed to be cast in gold. Each strike made him feel the ultimate power, and that unstoppable and indestructible offensive gradually eroded all his defenses.

He had already used all his soul skills, but the other person simply raised his arms and punched, which completely shattered all his methods.

If the situation had been different, and he had been more prepared, able to maintain his distance and maneuver, his higher cultivation level might have allowed him to find a way to deal with the situation.

However, at this moment, the armored figure opposite him clearly wouldn't give him that chance.

"Bang!" A golden fist slammed into the arms of the quasi-titled Douluo and struck his chest. The already weak expert fell to the ground, his consciousness beginning to dissipate. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the figure gradually approaching, but his body had already given up resisting.

"How much power does the Sun Moon Royal Family possess? What is the distribution of power among the nobles and the Soul Master world...?" A figure clad in armor approached him and asked many questions. This powerful member of the Sun Moon Royal Family felt as if a voice in his head was telling him not to resist. In the end, through surprising cooperation, he explained everything clearly.

"If this man dies here, it will cause quite a stir. Let him die outside. Hopefully, those old guys won't cause trouble." The armored figure, Yan, used mental hypnosis to learn some secrets of the Sun Moon Empire's high-ranking officials from the man before him. After analyzing the situation, he made a decision.

As the purple light from the eyes of the Flying Dragon Mech enveloped the figure, this quasi-titled Douluo, whose memories had been blurred, was thrown back.

After that battle, Yan knew that his strength had improved again. Using his golden arms, he was even able to defeat some weaker Title Douluos without relying on the Flying Dragon Mech, which meant that his strength had made great progress again.

Chapter 306 Demonic Forest

The Demon Forest, located not far from the western branch of the Jingyang Mountains in the northern part of the New World, is the largest forest in the New World.

Although this gathering place of soul beasts is not as large as the Star Dou Great Forest on the Douluo Continent, it is still an extremely dangerous forest area, where there are ferocious beasts with cultivation levels exceeding those of ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

The Demon Forest is located near the northern frigid zone and has a diverse ecosystem of plants, but most of them are coniferous trees. Perhaps due to the special environment, the branches and leaves of many trees here are black, and a dark and ominous atmosphere shrouds the entire forest. Even before entering, a sense of oppression is already overwhelming.

Above the slightly dark sky, a figure, accompanied by a stream of light, slowly descended into the heart of the Demon Forest.

Any Soul Master with a modicum of common sense would not attempt to fly over a forest teeming with Soul Beasts, as that would be tantamount to suicide.

But Yan is not afraid at all now, because his strength is far beyond that of ordinary experts. This is his confidence in his own strength.

He is no longer the same person he once was. With his dual-armored armor, he can absolutely roam freely on Douluo Star. Unless he does something reckless and goes to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest to awaken the Silver Dragon King, no one on the entire Douluo Star can threaten his safety.

After falling into the clutches of the demons, Yan began testing the effects of the new soul tools. He discovered many ancient soul tools in the ruins of the Jingyang Mountains, most of which were damaged. After repairing some of them, he wanted to test them.

"The density of soul beasts in this Demon Forest is even higher than that of the Star Dou Great Forest. It just goes to show that the humans of this new continent are not up to par." The soul scanning device in Yan's hand quickly fed back the number of soul beasts within a certain range. Yan found that the density of soul beasts here was terrifyingly high, far exceeding the number of soul beasts in the Jingyang Mountains, and even the Star Dou Great Forest of Douluo Continent could not compare to this place.

The Star Dou Great Forest was once a paradise for soul beasts, but with the ancient ferocious beast king falling into slumber, the two forest kings, Da Ming and Er Ming, only nominally ruled the entire forest; in reality, they were just figureheads maintaining basic order.

In addition, the Douluo Continent has seen a surge of powerful figures over the past few hundred years, and the human empire has developed significantly, further compressing the living space of soul beasts and causing a substantial decrease in the density of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Due to years of war between numerous empires, the human forces in the New World are not unified. Meanwhile, the Demon Forest is home to a powerful ferocious beast and many 100,000-year-old soul beasts, posing a significant threat to both soul masters and human forces. This, in turn, keeps the density of soul beasts in these gathering places at a considerable level.

"The spirit beast races here are more savage and ancient. There seem to be many dragon-type spirit beasts. Interesting. Sub-dragon species are almost extinct in Douluo Continent, yet there are still so many here." Yan walked through the Demon Forest. His pace was fast. After passing through the outer edge of the Demon Forest, the strength of the surrounding spirit beasts began to increase.

Hundred-year-old soul beasts are common, thousand-year-old soul beasts appear occasionally, and even a few lone ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have been spotted. These are powerful soul beasts that only appear in the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yan quickly arrived at the inner circle of the Demon Forest, where the probability of encountering a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was extremely high, and he would often run into one after a while.

Yan deliberately lowered his presence, and a soft halo formed distorted patterns of light around his body. He seemed to blend into everything around him, and even his own aura was completely obscured by this halo, giving the impression that he had disappeared into thin air.

"Ironback Dragon, Thorn Dragon, Horned Dragon... and even Tyrannosaurus Rex! So many sub-dragon species! This will be very helpful for my data collection." Yan watched the enormous dragon-shaped soul beast depart with a hint of regret, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

"It's a pity it's not the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Just two words are missing, and its value is completely different. Speaking of which, I've never seen a true dragon-type soul beast from the Douluo Continent before." Yan Yao watched the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head-shaking, receding figure, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips. This sub-dragon-type soul beast is probably going to suffer for a while. Drawing such a large amount of blood at once is something even a dragon-type soul beast couldn't withstand.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex he just released was one of the most powerful sub-dragons. An adult Tyrannosaurus Rex can be over 15 meters tall, and after more than 10,000 years of cultivation, it may even reach more than 30 meters. It is an absolute behemoth among soul beasts.

Its physical attack and defense capabilities were so strong that they could rival those of a real dragon. However, Tyrannosaurus Rex was not good at ranged attacks, and its powerful physical strength also limited its other aspects.

This kind of spirit beast is very suitable as a spirit ring for the owner of a dragon-type martial spirit. If the Tuoba family, where the little fat boy is from, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Zongyu family knew that there was a Tyrannosaurus Rex on this continent, they would definitely come to find it at all costs.

After entering the Demon Forest, Yan did not slaughter soul beasts indiscriminately. He only occasionally captured a couple of rare soul beasts as research material. As for these dragon-type soul beasts, he basically did not kill them.
