Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan stood quietly in the sky, admiring the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened as he looked down. From within the previously misty area, a beam of azure light burst forth, flashing and flying toward him.

"Chirp~~~"

Light and shadow flickered in the sky, and powerful auras broke through the shackles of the misty area. The first thing to be revealed was a blue eagle covered in azure light.

"Azure Shadow Divine Eagle! It came with malice; does it see me as an intruder?"

Yan stared at the soul beast that was rapidly growing larger in his line of sight, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. He could feel the hostility emanating from the soul beast; it seemed that the beast regarded him as an intruder.

This powerful soul beast, with a wingspan of over six meters, exuded an extraordinary aura, undoubtedly having reached the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. As it soared through the sky, its entire body emitted a blue light. Just as it approached Yan by about ten feet, it suddenly opened its mouth and unleashed countless blue light wind blades.

"trouble."

Yan's figure vanished instantly, easily dodging the attack. Just as he was about to explain, the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle flashed again, and a beam of azure light appeared beside him.

This azure light was incredibly fast; even instant teleportation couldn't match it. In the blink of an eye, the soul beast was already in front of Yan, its sharp eagle claws reaching straight for Yan's shoulders.

This 100,000-year-old soul beast, which had just broken free from the fog zone, seemed quite hostile towards humans. It didn't even seem to want to communicate with Yan, and instead launched a series of fierce attacks.

"roll!"

Yan was also annoyed by this guy, and his eyes immediately revealed murderous intent. A layer of golden light radiated outward from his body, and his right hand transformed into a claw to grab the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle.

The Azure Shadow Divine Eagle nimbly dodged Yan's right hand, and then its sharp claws gripped Yan's body. However, the soul beast quickly realized something was wrong. Its claws seemed to have no effect as if they had grabbed a thick layer of cowhide, and were quickly bounced away by a stronger rebound force.

"Chirp..."

At this moment, Yan's right hand tightened, accurately grabbing the right leg of the giant soul beast. In a flash of golden light, five bloody holes were left. Immediately afterwards, the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle couldn't help but let out a mournful cry, clearly feeling the pain.

"Consider yourself lucky. I have no interest in killing you today. Get lost!!!"

Although Yan was annoyed that the soul beast had attacked him, he hadn't come to the Star Dou Great Forest to cause trouble. He only wanted to punish the beast and let it go. With a strong swing of his arm, he smashed it back into the misty area.

"Human, you're courting death!"

Just when Yan thought he could finally talk to those guys inside, a deep, resonant roar rang out, and a golden light shot out, launching another attack on him.

A giant tiger suddenly charged into the air. The tiger had six wings and its whole body was covered with dark golden fur. It was extremely fierce.

Its aura was clearly much stronger than that of the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle from before. The Azure Shadow Divine Eagle couldn't even speak human language, barely reaching the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. This six-winged giant tiger, on the other hand, had at least 110,000 to 120,000 years of cultivation.

Burning Words

As soon as it took off, it pounced on Yan. Yan nimbly turned in mid-air and swept his left leg out, sending the six-winged dark gold tiger, which was ten times larger than him, flying backward a hundred meters.

"King of the Star Dou Great Forest, I have no ill intentions in coming here today. I am here to fulfill my agreement with the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Da Ming and Er Ming should have already told you this."

After Yan repelled two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, he hurriedly spoke, trying to persuade the hostile soul beasts to stop. However, to his surprise, the two soul beasts he had repelled showed no intention of stopping.

"Roar~~~"

"Chirp~~~"

The Azure Shadow Divine Eagle and the Six-Winged Dark Gold Tiger roared repeatedly, their figures turning in the air and circling as they charged towards Yan once more.

A streak of azure light, like a sharp blade, swept across Yan with a powerful sonic boom. Meanwhile, from another direction, a dense net of golden light also swept towards Yan.

"Are you guys never going to stop? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

The two spirit beasts' ungratefulness angered Yan Zhen. His second spirit immediately possessed him, and three bright red spirit rings shone brightly in the sky. The enormous golden stone giant stood on the ground, and with a single slap, it stirred up a whirlwind that overturned the earth.

"Hooho..."

The azure figure and the six-winged dark gold tiger were just ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts, at most comparable to a regular level 95 titled Douluo. Although Yan only used his second martial soul, his cultivation level was a solid level 96, and he could still sweep them away with a casual strike.

The two soul beasts were sent flying back, their wings broken and feathers flying, blood spurting everywhere as they were in mid-air. This time, Yan attacked in anger. Although he didn't kill them outright, he severely injured them, leaving them barely clinging to life.

"Boom! Boom!"

The two soul beasts crashed heavily to the ground, and the swirling wind directly overturned all the mist. Countless angry roars came from the vicinity of the Lake of Life, as powerful soul beasts vented their dissatisfaction. It seemed that Yan had stirred up the soul beasts' lair.

"Hooho..."

On the earth, countless beasts galloped, and in the sky, countless birds flew in unison. These countless soul beasts were like an endless, surging tide, rushing towards Yan's location and engulfing him.

"Get out of here, all of you!!!"

A golden light emanated from Yan's body, sweeping across the surroundings. The ultimate power of his golden bloodline was revealed at this moment, and the incredibly powerful pressure sent many soul beasts flying backward.

These ordinary soul beasts posed no threat to Yan at all; not one of them could get within a hundred feet of Yan's body.

A massive number of soul beasts rushed forward, only to be repelled by Yan. Although Yan did not launch many attacks, many soul beasts were still injured or even critically wounded and on the verge of death. Just then, a glimmer of green light emerged from the location of the Lake of Life.

A figure in emerald green rose into the air, and as she ascended, ripples of emerald green began to spread out, engulfing the endless tide of beasts.

Originally, due to Yan's forced counterattack, a large number of soul beasts were injured or even on the verge of death. However, under the illumination of this emerald light, the injuries of those soul beasts healed at an astonishing speed.

Even more strangely, the auras of countless soul beasts converged and merged under the emerald light, making the emerald light even stronger.

Soon, the injured soul beasts that had fallen to the ground got up one by one, even the two heavily injured 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

This scene secretly alarmed Yan, who knew that he had used considerable force when dealing with those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Although he spared their lives, normally it would take years to recover from injuries of that degree. Who would have thought they would recover so quickly under this azure light?

"The Emerald Swan, Brigitte?"

Yan Yao gazed at the direction shrouded in green light, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. As the numerous soul beasts rapidly recovered, the emerald green figure became clear in the air. However, it was not a soul beast, but a woman in human form, a stunningly beautiful woman with an ethereal temperament.

Her long, emerald-green hair cascaded down her back. Her eyes were closed, and her figure was slender. A light green dress perfectly outlined her graceful body.

Her arms, as white as tender lotus roots, were exposed. Most remarkably, she had a pair of wings on her back, wings that looked like they were carved from gemstones.

Her wings were emerald green, each feather dazzling and vibrant, the vivid green brimming with life, making her seem like a breathtaking goddess of nature.

Yan was very familiar with these wings; they belonged to the Emerald Swan clan. He often played angel role-playing games with his sister Liya and had handled them countless times. However, these wings seemed even prettier, and he really wanted to try them out.

"Roar~~~"

While Yan was lost in thought, suddenly another figure, a ball of scorching flame, shot out from the outer edge of the Lake of Life.

"Damn it, here we go again."

Yan was already extremely displeased as he watched the ball of flame leap out of the Lake of Life. This hostility again! They really think he's made of clay! He grumbled in dissatisfaction and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The dazzling golden divine fist struck the raging flames, and the powerful shockwave sent many more soul beasts flying.

Yan's figure flickered but remained in place, while the ball of flame tumbled twice in mid-air, revealing a dark red figure.

"Roar~~~"

This dark red soul beast was over five meters long, extremely robust, and somewhat resembled a lion, but it had three identical large heads. The three large heads roared simultaneously, and all the soul beasts within a ten-mile radius prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move an inch.

Each of these soul beasts had a diameter of over one meter, and its terrifying canines emitted a crimson-gold luster. Scorching flames swirled around its body, and the place where it stood quickly turned into a charred ruin.

"Three Crimson Demon Hounds! Are you ever going to stop? I sent Da Ming and Er Ming to send a message so we could have a proper talk, not to fight you. Where is that bastard Di Tian? Tell him to get out here."

Yan was attacked time and time again, and naturally he was furious. It was one thing for the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts to not listen, but these three Crimson Demon Hounds were ferocious beasts and were high-ranking soul beasts. Surely they knew about the message sent by Da Ming and Er Ming.

"Human, these three 100,000-year spirit rings of yours come from a spirit beast in my Star Dou Great Forest. You will pay the price for this."

This three-headed spirit beast, shaped like a lion, actually spoke human language, its voice filled with anger, and flames continuously spewed out as it spoke.

Yan's eyes turned cold, and he said calmly, "You won't listen to me, will you? So what if I really hunted down a 100,000-year-old soul beast? You're not qualified to talk to me. Tell Di Tian to get out here."

The Crimson King roared, "You bastard, you're courting death! You're making an enemy of all the soul beasts in our Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Hmph! Stubborn fool! Even if I killed you, what difference would it make if those three were gone?"

Yan was also annoyed when he saw the three Crimson Demon Hounds roaring and about to attack again. His terrifying aura pressed down on the three Crimson Demon Hounds like a mountain, and he stomped down with his leg.

These spirit beasts may seem intelligent, but aside from a few truly clever ones, most are not calm enough. You can't get away with talking to them; you have to use force to teach them a lesson and make them submit.

"Roar……"

A deep roar erupted from the three large heads of the Crimson King, and intense dark red light burst forth from within him.

Its three large heads seemed to have grown larger, giving off an aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The churning red sea of ​​blood directly engulfed Yan. This ferocious beast, with a cultivation of over two hundred thousand years, had unleashed its full power at this moment.

"Hmph! If you were any other attribute, it would be fine, but you are fire. How dare you, a mere firefly, compete with the brilliance of the sun?"

With a cold snort, flames instantly erupted from the surface of the golden stone giant, the shadow in the sky suddenly expanded, and the terrifying high temperature distorted space. Countless soul beasts instinctively collapsed to the ground, the suffocating pressure leaving them powerless to resist.

"How is this possible..."

The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound let out an incredulous groan. Its hellfire was extremely close to the level of ultimate fire, but the moment this enormous fire giant appeared, it actually felt incredibly hot, and the sweat on its forehead kept appearing and then instantly evaporated.

At that moment, it felt immense fear. The instant the golden-red flames and soul light enveloped and pressed down upon it, it completely lost the power to resist and could only stare wide-eyed as it was trampled underfoot.

"Boom!"

The moment Yan switched and released his first martial soul, he knocked down the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound with a single kick. A surging wave of fire spread in all directions, and a large number of plants burst into flames.

The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, which had been so majestic just moments before, could now barely defend itself. The flame shield it had erected was shrinking, and its limbs had sunk into the ground. It was about to be crushed by Yan's foot.

The three large heads of the Crimson Demon Hound roared madly, and black lines emerged from its dark red fur, as if it were trying to break free of the cage like a volcanic eruption.

However, the absolute suppression of the flames made its struggle seem so futile. Yan didn't even need to use any other skills outside of its domain; it could easily crush this soul beast to death.

This soul beast, which had existed for over two hundred thousand years, also sensed the crisis. Despite unleashing its full power, which consumed its primal energy, it could still feel its body temperature rising as it faced Yan's fiery cage, as if it were about to be refined to death.

The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound roared with its six eyes blazing with fury, "Human, if you dare to kill me, the Starry Sky Clan will never let you go, and your human world will be plunged into chaos and death."

Chapter 467 Black Dragon Emperor

"Oh! You're threatening me! Who do you think you are!" The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound's frenzied roar did not stop Yan. He continued to release flames to wear down the beast's defenses. Faint gray-black demonic patterns appeared on the beast's left foot, which was stepping on it. A trace of the Crimson King's original power was being devoured and refined by Yan.

Yan's left leg soul bone once fused with the soul bead of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Although it mainly fused with the space-time ability of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it also inherited other powerful skills such as devouring and evil.

After all, abilities like devouring can be quite useful in certain situations. While it's difficult to kill the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound outright, collecting some interest isn't unreasonable, especially since this guy dared to provoke them repeatedly.

"Damn it, damn it..." Hellfire surged beneath Yan's feet. The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound tried to break free from Yan's suppression, even resorting to its own power. However, it all seemed to be in vain. It felt its power rapidly dissipating, and the predicament before it was completely unsolvable.

"Boom!" Just as Yan was trying to absorb and refine more energy from the Crimson King with his left leg bone, he suddenly felt a chill and subconsciously blasted a ball of flame toward the direction he sensed was wrong. The flame ignited instantly upon landing, followed by a large amount of eerie gray-green light.

"Human, how did you discover this?" The eerie gray-green light was quickly burned away by the golden-red flames, and the plants in that area were also reduced to ashes. Then, a glimmer of evil light appeared in the thin mist, and a figure appeared in Yan's sight.

This creature was also humanoid, appearing as a middle-aged man. He wasn't particularly handsome, his face was somewhat bluish, and even his eyes were a chilling turquoise.

His soul light carried a deep, eerie hue, completely different from the magnificent emerald green of the jade swan.

He wasn't particularly tall, but he was very slender. His dark green robe fluttered gently behind him even without wind, as did his long hair of the same color.

However, his hair was really too long, billowing more than ten meters behind him. At this moment, this guy stared at Yan's Martial Soul body with great apprehension. Although he had not released his Martial Soul True Form, the huge fire giant in front of him still gave this middle-aged man the feeling of encountering a natural enemy. That feeling of being powerless to resist made him very unhappy.
