Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Demon Eye Tree King of Ten Thousand Demons, you dare to attack me in secret, you have quite the nerve." Yan coldly stared at the guy, and with a wave of his hand, a sea of ​​fire covered the man, forcing the middle-aged man to flee at top speed, unable to say another word.

The Demon-Eyed Demon Tree, also known as the Demon King of Ten Thousand Demons, is one of the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Its cultivation surpasses that of the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, but plant-type creatures are always easily countered by fire-type creatures, so it's hard to say who would win in a real fight.

Yan was very unhappy with his attempt to launch a sneak attack, and was naturally going to be in trouble. Yan didn't need any soul skills to deal with him; attribute advantage was enough to make him completely helpless.

The Demon King's true form was just an ordinary Demon Eye Tree. It only achieved its current cultivation level after mutating and evolving by chance by fusing with a Celestial Spirit Grass. However, it has not yet reached the level of the Ultimate Wood. Facing Yan's Ultimate Fire, it would be quite good if it could just run away.

The Demon King was overwhelmed by Yan's wave of fire. His clothes caught fire in no time, and he hurriedly dodged while trying to extinguish the flames, using various methods to fight back.

However, his thousands of branches only provided more fuel; instead of helping to block the flames, they acted as fuses, allowing the fire to spread rapidly.

At the critical moment, the Demon King couldn't help but scream, "Damn it, if you don't make a move soon, that red dog and I are doomed. This guy's flames are too much of a counter to us. They're not ordinary extreme flames. I don't even dare to get close to him."

"You two are truly useless. You can't even handle a human Soul Master. What right do you have to be on par with me?" With an indignant roar, a massive body burst out of the Lake of Life, hovering in mid-air and releasing an extremely powerful and violent pressure.

This guy is more imposing than the three-headed red demon mastiff, and his body is also much larger, with a huge body that is fifteen meters tall and covered with a thick layer of dark golden fur.

Its arms were incredibly long, hanging down at its sides. With such a massive body, its arms were over ten meters long and reached past its knees, and they were extremely thick. Most exaggerated of all were its shoulders, with muscles that bulged up like small hills.

“Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Bear Lord. Why hasn’t that guy Di Tian come out to see me yet?” Yan glanced at the raging bear, but his gaze went past it and back to the Lake of Life. What he wanted to see now was the Black Dragon Di Tian. This farce had gone on for so long, it was time to end it.

This enormous creature is known as the Jungle Destroyer, the Destroyer King of the Soul Master World, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

However, the one who can float in mid-air is undoubtedly the Bear of Ten Thousand Bears, the ruler of the Bear Army and the king of bear-type soul beasts.

This being is absolutely in a class of its own among all the ferocious beasts. In fact, in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, the only one who could subdue the Bear King was the Beast God, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.

"Hmph! You bastard, are you looking down on me...?"

The relationship between Xiong Jun and Di Tian was not exactly harmonious; he had injured Di Tian during that chaotic battle.

Hearing Yan's impolite words, he was furious and slammed a bear paw down with a snort.

"Are you all ever going to stop? Do you really think I have no temper?" Yan's right arm was instantly engulfed in dazzling golden light. Five sharp blades, shimmering with golden light, tore through space and time as they swirled around the golden-red flames, before crashing down on the ungrateful Xiong Jun.

"Damn it..." As the patriarch of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, Xiong Jun naturally realized that Yan's right hand's palm bone skill came from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. He became even angrier, spread his huge arms, roared to the sky, and his massive body soared into the air.

Its already enormous body grew even larger, and its arms quickly rose to meet the attack, unleashing terrifyingly long, dark gold claws.

In an instant, black crack-like lights flickered around its claws. The sharpness of the claws remained unmoved, but the mere aura shattered the air.

"Boom!" A terrifying muffled sound rang out the moment the two giant hands collided. Yan's golden claws and Xiong Jun's tearing claws flashed with golden light, and the gap between the two claws kept breaking, releasing black lightning.

The incredibly eerie black and red lightning flickered and spread, devouring endless space, and large swaths of darkness appeared between the two claw strikes.

The two claws of the man and the bear didn't even fully touch; it was just a brief exchange, yet it nearly tore the space of this area apart, with surging energy fluctuations sweeping in all directions.

Yan's second soul ring flashed instantly, and the blazing sun in the sky became even brighter. The endless true fire of the sun resonated with Yan, drawing more fire power into his body.

The endless flames in the sky, appearing as holes, continuously seeped into Yan's body, making the sun appear even brighter.

But in this area of ​​the Lake of Life, many soul beasts only felt the light of day dim, and the terrifying figure that resembled a demon god was even more frightening.

"Bastard..." As endless flames merged into his body, the golden-red flames between Yan's five golden claws became even more surging and scorching. Finally, under the incredulous gazes of countless soul beasts, Xiong Jun slowly retreated, his body about to be completely engulfed by the surging flames.

At this moment, the bear king moved. Its other giant hand immediately swung upwards, palm outwards, and a terrifying dark gold color once again emanated. Its two claws simultaneously emitted a sky-tearing golden light.

Each claw transformed into a terrifying dark golden blade over a hundred meters long, the enormous dark golden claws seeming to tear the entire sky apart.

Wherever these ten sharp claws passed, the air was completely torn apart, and from the torn space, faint shrieks could be heard, and even faint starlight could be seen in the darkness.

This terrifying strike from the Dark Gold Terror Claw was Xiong Jun's trump card. Even Di Tian was injured by it when he was careless. Xiong Jun used it again to try to turn the tide, but unfortunately, he was facing Yan.

"Useless tricks, get lost!" Xiong Jun's Sky-Tearing Claw came fiercely, but Yan suddenly transformed the claw into a fist, and his right arm emitted an unprecedented golden light. It was as if a roaring gorilla appeared behind him. The moment the illusory shadow appeared, Xiong Jun felt his blood tremble.

"No~~~" The ten Heaven-Tearing Claws shattered completely when they touched the golden right arm. In the bear king's incredulous gaze, Yan's fist slammed heavily onto its bear face, directly knocking its nose out of shape. Instantly, various colors burst onto its face.

Xiong Jun's face looked like it had been dyed, and his whole brain was buzzing. Before he could react, a giant hand grabbed Xiong Jun's head and lifted the ten-meter-tall bear up with a slight lift.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..." Yan picked up the bear and smashed it all over, giving it the treatment of Loki. Just as the bear was about to come to its senses, he swung it with all his might and threw it away.

With a deafening roar, the bear smashed into a small mountain, raising a thick cloud of dust, and its angry roar echoed once more.

"Stop, Xiong Jun." A black light rose from the depths of the Lake of Life. This black cloud gathered endless darkness in the sky, and the dark clouds covered the sky. Yan's connection with the true fire of the sun was severed. Before he could look up, a male voice rang out.

"Black Dragon Emperor, you've finally shown yourself." Yan looked up at the sky and sensed a threat from the churning black clouds. It was a powerful being that could endanger his life.

Chapter 468 Furious Battle Against Emperor Tian

"Human, I acknowledge your strength."

A voice slowly rang out in the air, and the dark clouds in the sky churned, vaguely revealing the outline of a ferocious beast. An aura of power that made all beasts bow down swept across the heavens and earth.

At this moment, even ferocious beasts like the Bear King, the Demon King, and the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound silently stepped aside.

Many soul beasts retreated and stopped fighting, but Yan was still seething with anger. He looked up at the dark cloud and said angrily, "Your recognition is bullshit. Di Tian, ​​I'll just have to weigh the weight of your so-called Beast God."

With a furious roar, he leaped into the air, his enormous fiery wings propelling him into the sky. His terrifying aura remained undiminished, instantly causing numerous creatures below the level of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts to collapse to the ground.

"Boom!"

It was as if a shooting star had streaked across the sky. A ball of fire, carrying a red light, violently crashed into the inky blackness. The moment the two collided, a muffled thud was heard, and the endless aftershocks of energy directly dyed the sky two colors.

The dark clouds in the sky paused briefly before colliding violently with the fiercely rushing crimson flames.

For a moment, the sky flickered between light and darkness as the two sides' powerful auras clashed repeatedly. Strangely, however, no matter how they collided, no significant energy aftershocks extended downwards.

"Human, that's enough. Didn't you come here to discuss cooperation?"

The icy voice resounded through the heavens and earth once again, tinged with anger. Clearly, he had not expected that Yan, who had previously restrained him for the sake of the overall situation, would become relentless and launch an attack on him after the Black Dragon Emperor himself appeared.

"You think that's enough? That's ridiculous. You started it, why should I put up with you?"

Yan's voice echoed from the endless sea of ​​fire that filled half the sky, "Those guys were too useless. I was afraid that if I killed them without holding back, it would have a bad impact. You bastard, you won't die so easily. It's time for me to beat you to a pulp."

Yan had been holding back his anger, but he had been hesitant and held back earlier. Now that the black dragon had appeared, he naturally wouldn't be polite. At this moment, he unleashed his full power, and nine spirit rings flashed one after another amidst the rolling sea of ​​fire.

"Human, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

The pitch-black clouds churned violently, and a gigantic dragon, whose size was indiscernible, appeared and disappeared within the clouds, letting out angry roars.

The Black Dragon Emperor had golden eyes and his entire body was covered in jet-black scales, yet it emitted a deep purple light amidst the inky black clouds.

"If you're not afraid, then don't try to hide from me."

The fire giant also appeared in the center of the rolling sea of ​​fire, its nine soul rings—two purple, two black, and five red—pulsating and rotating. The great sun's light from the endless sky descended upon the mortal world once more, and even more intense solar fire poured down from the sky, causing the surging sea of ​​fire to expand rapidly.

"Twin martial souls? Eight 100,000-year soul rings? Very good."

As Heilong Ditian looked at the five 100,000-year soul rings surrounding Yan's First Martial Soul, his tone turned icy. He had only intended to give Yan a warning before, but now he was genuinely plotting to kill him.

Di Tian is a member of the Black Dragon royal family born in the era of the Dragon God. Although he was not the first Black Dragon King, he had met the Dragon God and received a gift. He is one of the nine Dragon Kings recognized by law and bloodline.

Having lived for a long time, it had witnessed almost all the changes on the continent and the rise and fall of mankind, so its knowledge was naturally far beyond that of ordinary soul beasts.

The Douluo Continent once gave birth to powerful native first-level gods such as the Sea God and the Angel God. The Soul Master system naturally attracted the attention of Di Tian. When he traveled the continent, he also saw twin martial souls. He was not too surprised that Yan's second martial soul had three soul rings.

However, the eight 100,000-year soul rings possessed by Yan's two martial souls were truly stimulating to his heart. Faced with Yan's renewed offensive, he was naturally enraged.

"Stop with all this nonsense, let's fight."

Looking at the rolling black clouds, Yan felt a rare urge to fight. Since arriving in Douluo Continent, he had been extremely cautious, fearing that he might be ambushed and killed.

This mentality isn't necessarily bad; after all, by patiently waiting until now, he has successfully developed into one of the strongest combat forces in this dimension, and he is not afraid even when facing a Limit Douluo.

However, after breaking through to the Title Douluo level, he realized that his mindset was affecting his subsequent progress. Cultivation after level 96 emphasizes mental state, and it's no longer meaningful to hide one's sharpness. Therefore, Yan also tried to change his mindset.

However, at his current level, there are very few people in the world who can pose a threat to him, so finding a good opponent is quite difficult.

Di Tian is one of them. Just then, those soul beasts kept provoking Yan, and he was burning with anger. He really couldn't stand not having a proper fight.

"bring it on!"

The enormous black dragon, which had been coiling and circling in the dark clouds, stopped abruptly. Two golden lights suddenly shone brightly, revealing Di Tian's eyes. He abruptly opened his mouth and poked his head out of the churning black clouds. His inky black breath, like a dark celestial river, swept directly towards Yan Chong.

"How could you possibly beat me at playing with fire?"

Yan paid little attention to Di Tian's black dragon breath, and with a wave of his hand, he casually flung out a halo formed by nine powerful flames rotating.

The nine spirit rings that Yan absorbed each brought him nine powerful sources of fire, and to put it bluntly, most of them were stronger than Di Tian's dragon breath.

Nine flames coalesced into a wheel, naturally crushing Di Tian's dragon breath. The fiery wheel swept across the sky, directly cutting off Di Tian's breath, and then swept back with a dark torrent, slicing towards Di Tian's dragon head.

Di Tian's golden eyes narrowed, and his massive body began to move in the air. His huge dragon wings spread out, and dark clouds rose behind him. He opened his mouth and hurled a huge black fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters toward the Nine Flame Light Wheel.

The black fireball from the Emperor Heaven shattered instantly upon striking the halo, but this bought time for the black dragon in the sky.

His dragon head was slightly lowered, and his dragon horns glowed with purple light. The originally black dragon horns quickly became transparent and dazzling, as if they were polished diamonds. The two diamond lights condensed into one in the air and directly collided with the nine-flame light wheel.

"Boom!"

The sky exploded with a deafening roar, the dark clouds shattered, and the heavens seemed to be torn in two. The aftershocks swept across the land, unleashing a fierce storm. If it weren't for the powerful figures like Xiong Jun who shattered most of the aftershocks, the land would have been devastated long ago.

Di Tian's huge golden eyes revealed a solemn expression. He had thought that his cultivation of less than 800,000 years had reached the pinnacle of human combat power, which was already quite extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, the human on the other side was even more terrifying. Despite being only level 96, he brought him endless pressure. This was an opponent on the same level as him.

Their cultivation levels had not reached the limit of the mortal realm, but their combat power had touched that level, which was truly terrifying talent.

Di Tian flapped his enormous dragon wings forcefully, plunging the sky into darkness. Yan, not to be outdone, shook his fiery wings, unleashing an even more raging sea of ​​fire that swept across a vast expanse of the heavens.

The confrontation between the flames and the dark clouds instantly changed. The two energies collided fiercely in the sky, countless purple lightning bolts flashed in the dark clouds, and the rolling golden-red flames released even more intense heat.

These two energies painted the sky in two colors, and rumbling sounds like muffled thunder echoed through the air. Below, numerous soul beasts looked up to watch the battle, intently observing every detail.

The Lake of Life has now completely merged with the original misty area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. The mist has completely dissipated, and numerous soul beasts have come back to worship and pay homage. The entire Star Dou Great Forest has become vibrant with life, and the number and species of soul beasts have increased significantly.

“Lord Xiong, you are the second strongest among us after Di Tian. Can you see anything?”

Beside the Lake of Life, several ferocious beasts, who were high-ranking members of the Star Dou Great Forest, stood closest to the lake to watch the battle. Among the beasts, the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound was relatively weak and could not see the situation above its head clearly, so it asked the strongest of them, Xiong Jun.

Xiong Jun glared at the Crimson King and said in a low voice, "Crimson King, your cultivation level is about the same as that human's, but the difference in your control over fire is too great."

He didn't answer the Red King's questions, but instead pointed out that the Red King was bad at playing with fire. It wasn't that he was unwilling to give guidance, but rather that he himself couldn't see through too many things, and telling the truth would be too shameful.

"Sister Biji, what's going on? Have outsiders invaded the Star Dou Great Forest? Di Tian actually took action personally?"

A purple light emerged from above the Lake of Life, from which three figures of different sizes flew out. One of them was a petite humanoid woman. Upon seeing the strange phenomenon in the sky, she couldn't help but ask Bi Ji, who was still healing and maintaining the state of many soul beasts.

A dark purple figure came to Brigitte's side. The woman was covered in purplish-black scales, and her long purplish-black hair was draped behind her, moving naturally from both sides of her body without wind.

Her face was extremely alluring; her eyes were deep purple, while her lips were a bright purple. On her forehead, a jet-black scale rippled with layers of purple light, flowing naturally over her head.

Behind the woman, within a dark purple passage, two enormous figures appeared one after the other. Their aura surpassed that of most of the soul beasts present, second only to a few ferocious beasts, and their appearance immediately attracted the attention of countless eyes.

These two enormous figures, one as majestic as a mountain, exuding a powerful earth-elemental aura, were none other than the Titan Giant Ape Erming, the King of the Forest. The other was naturally his good brother, the Azure Bull Python, Daming.
