Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Xiao Yan, next time, next time don't~" The Flame Queen's red lips were beautiful, but before she could finish speaking, she was blocked again. Someone had been thinking about this for so long before coming, so she had to have a good time today. Although she still couldn't 'stab the god', kissing and touching were still fine.

Yan finally released the goddess from his arms, and Lieyan obediently leaned against Yan, letting his hands take advantage of her.

"Blazing Flame, you seem a little different than before." When Yan was blaspheming the goddess, he carefully measured the divine body and found that Blazing Flame seemed to have changed. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he had a feeling about it.

"Xiao Yan, I want to thank you." Lie Yan nestled obediently in his arms, speaking softly, "The world you took me to was so magical. It really seemed to be another world. After entering, I could clearly feel a different kind of law power. Although I haven't found a way to fully integrate with the authority of that world yet, just feeling the different laws has allowed me to take another step forward. Now I have not only broken through to the second level of godhood, but I also have a certain understanding of the path of the main god..." Lie Yan happily shared his joy with Yan. After he left last time, he left Lie Yan a replica of a spacetime portal and also told him about the Qin Emperor Universe.

Of course, Lieyan was also curious, and after learning about the situation in the Qin Emperor Universe, he took some time to visit it.

The laws of the Qin Emperor Universe are somewhat different from those of the Douluo Universe. Strong individuals can gain more insights from these differences. Qian Daoliu is one such example. He has gained some insights and has the potential to break free from conventional thinking. He now spends most of his time in seclusion in the Dragon Tomb of the Qin Emperor Universe.

Lieyan's strength far surpasses Qiandaoliu's, and after reaching the Divine Realm, the difficulty of refining the World Authority and becoming the Lord of the World is not too high.

With her strength, entering the Qin Emperor Universe would naturally bring her far more benefits. Meanwhile, Lie Yan shared her experiences in the Qin Emperor Universe with Yan, who listened attentively, comparing them to her own understanding of that universe, and began to formulate her own plans.

"Lieyan, once we've dealt with things here for now, we can go over there together."

"Okay, sure." Blazing Flame nodded in agreement. After another round of sweet and tender moments, the goddess extended her jade hand, which bore some red marks, toward the lava lake.

"Boom boom..." The lava lake surged, and the intense energy fluctuations even affected the dragon egg next to it. It was a pet that Lieyan had specially found for Yan when he saw that Yan was paying attention to the information about the dragon race. It was a dragon king bloodline from the Five Elements Continent and its potential was also extremely remarkable.

"This is the soul embryo nurtured by the bloodline of the Titan Ape." The object rising from the lava lake was very tall, and its round shape resembled a giant egg, but it did not exude the spirituality unique to life forms. It was somewhat like an unhatched cloud bud egg.

This enormous egg is indeed unhatched; it is not a complete life form, but a clone.

Yan once obtained the essence and blood of the Titan Ape and some key cells. Using the genetic information in these cells and essence, he began research on artificial souls a long time ago.

The technology of artificial soul spirits appeared tens of thousands of years after the original timeline. This technology was derived from the artificial soul ring technology. It utilizes the innate power extracted from the blood of soul beasts and then processes it into soul rings through a series of complex procedures.

This technology was originally intended to benefit the Douluo Continent, but in order to create more and stronger soul skills, the emergence of artificial soul rings and artificial soul spirits has instead brought even greater calamities to soul beasts.

Human greed is limitless. Many technologies may have good intentions, but they can very likely lead to uncontrollable consequences.

Just like in the Pokémon world, the Pokémon League is constantly cracking down on criminal activities related to Pokémon genetic research, because these studies are often extremely cruel.

Yan himself is not against research, only against evil research. Therefore, he has never entrusted the research on artificial souls to anyone else; he has been doing it all by himself, and he will not easily share the results.

Blazing Flame is considered one of his secret bases, and for the artificial soul to achieve the effect he desires, it must possess divine power.

The artificial soul spirit in front of him also incorporated the technical principles of divinely bestowed soul rings, making it a suitable fourth soul ring for Yan to become his second martial soul.

Chapter 482 Titan's Sky and Gravity Control

"An artificial soul created from the bloodline of the Titan Ape is something to look forward to." Before the churning lava lake in the Earth's core, Yan looked at the artificial soul embryo before him with anticipation in his eyes.

As he extended his right hand and pushed, the primordial egg released an incomparably dazzling light that engulfed Yan, and an overwhelming aura of absolute power swept out, with blazing red light burning in this magma world.

A majestic, illusory figure appeared amidst the crimson light. It was as tall and imposing as a mountain, its arms pounding its chest as it roared towards the sky—it was a Titan ape howling at the heavens.

A blinding red light emanated from the center of the Titan Ape's brow, and everything within that red light became absolutely still.

Crimson flames burned on the giant egg, quickly spreading across the entire phantom of the giant ape. These were not flames, but a very special kind of blood flame, and burning within them was the very essence of this artificial soul.

The blood flames burned ever brighter, gradually turning from red to dark red, while the illusory figure of the Titan Ape faded away during this transformation, like an increasingly transparent red crystal.

As all the red expanded into a giant ring and slowly contracted, Yan's figure was bathed in the blood flames of the Titan Giant Ape. His aura surged once again, and his second martial soul, Earth Monarch, appeared behind him, rapidly changing its form.

Around the second spirit, three blood-red spirit rings pulsed continuously. As the blood flame gradually subsided, a powerful blood light began to condense at the location of the fourth spirit ring.

The halo formed by the blood flames gradually fell on Yan's body. The blood-red flames subsided and transformed into a huge soul ring that enveloped Yan's body. When the halo shrank to only surround Yan, the original Titan Giant Ape artificial soul spirit had completely faded away.

The crimson light finally solidified on Yan's body. The blood-red light amplified the already deep and heavy aura of the Earth King, making him even more domineering. A strange yellow-black light swept out, and after being soaked in the blood-red light of the fourth soul ring, it gained even more killing intent.

Yan's second spirit acquired its fourth spirit ring, all of which are 100,000-year spirit rings. This is also his ninth 100,000-year spirit ring. The configuration of his second spirit is now second only to his first spirit's five 100,000-year spirit rings, which can be said to have set multiple historical records on the continent.

Since the beginning of recorded history in Douluo Continent, Yan not only set the record for the youngest Title Douluo in history, but also became the strongest person in history with the most 100,000-year spirit rings. The historical record of spirit ring configuration... The history created by Yan himself is truly amazing. Although it may not be the last time there will be one, it can definitely be said to be unprecedented.

The Titan Ape's soul light swept over Yan's body. The crimson soul light brought Yan's cultivation to a special level, and his whole body exuded a feeling of explosive power. Although his arms did not appear to have changed, the immense strength they possessed was truly eye-catching.

The Titan Ape's artificial soul is primarily earth-based, with strength being its main attribute. When that power flows within its body, it unusually perceives a variety of things.

As Yan rapidly refined the energy, the blood flow in his body suddenly increased significantly, and even his mind became much more confused.

His internal meridians throbbed violently, his blood flow increased to more than three times the usual speed, and even his mental energy was pulsating rapidly.

Yan silently sensed the overwhelming power within him, secretly calculating his options. Absorbing energy that could be integrated into the body was certainly a wonderful thing, enhancing various aspects of one's physical abilities.

However, if the energy absorbed by the human body is too large, especially if it is absorbed all at once, the result will be absolutely disastrous once it exceeds the body's tolerance. At best, the meridians will burst and the person will become disabled; at worst, the body will explode and the person will die.

However, this only applies to ordinary people. Yan's cultivation foundation is far beyond that of ordinary soul masters. Not to mention a mere 100,000-year-old artificial soul spirit, even if there were two or three 100,000-year-old soul beasts, Yan would have absolute confidence in completely refining them.

As the artificial soul's crimson soul power continuously merged into Yan's body, enveloped in the ever-churning crimson flames, Yan suddenly felt as if his body had entered a giant furnace, and the crimson flames on his body were constantly receding.

Yan's body was burning hot, with the hottest parts being his limbs and head, where the five main soul bones were located. As for the three external soul bones, there was no obvious pain feedback for the time being.

The locations of the five main soul bones were constantly glowing and getting hot. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the meridians, muscles, and even bones beneath those six locations were rapidly writhing.

Waves of intense pain relentlessly assaulted Yan's brain. The four 100,000-year soul rings brought about an extraordinary qualitative change to Yan's second martial soul. In particular, the artificial soul spirit brought him not only a 100,000-year soul ring, but also special energy that enhanced the foundation of his martial soul.

Yan's bones made a constant, teeth-grinding sound, and his tendons and muscles crackled from time to time.

His muscles swelled rapidly, quickly transforming him into a terrifyingly muscular man. But just as quickly, the extremely bulging muscles gradually subsided, restoring Yan's original physique—strong but not exaggerated.

His bronze skin was tinged with a faint gold, not a metallic sheen, but a sacred gold.

Yan felt that his body had reached a certain limit, and he had just completed a process of transformation.

Without needing to test it, he could feel his body becoming incomparably strong. The soul light flickered and then subsided, and Yan returned to his original appearance, his skin, covered with a layer of pale golden light, so dazzling that it stood out so clearly in this bright lava field.

Yan's body shimmered with light, and the deep yellow Earth King reappeared, shining like a giant cast in gold, exuding immense power with every move.

"The immense power brought by the Titan Ape, this feeling is truly wondrous." Yan felt the abundant energy within his body, and the power to easily shatter mountains and rivers when he clenched his fist. His confidence soared, and he had an urge to test his own strength.

After having this idea, he couldn't wait to put it into practice. With the flash of his fourth spirit ring, a huge Titan Giant Ape spirit phantom solidified and appeared behind him.

The Titan Giant Ape, with 100,000 years of cultivation, is as large as a mountain. Standing there, it looks like a small mountain, and when it roars to the sky, it is even more imposing.

A crimson soul light flashed, and a strong yellow light burst out of Yan's body. With a thought, it landed in the Earth's core lake, instantly causing countless magma to surge and boil. A large crater appeared in the center of the Earth's core lake, a rather terrifying scene.

Yan's fourth soul ring inherited two extremely powerful skills from the Titan Giant Ape. The first is the gravity control ability derived from the gravity control field. Wherever the yellow soul light covers, gravity changes at will, increasing or decreasing as needed.

The gravity control field can be used for attack, defense, and control, making it an extremely powerful field ability. The ability to arbitrarily increase or decrease gravity can greatly affect the enemy's combat capabilities, making it a very perfect and powerful soul skill.

Yan slightly flipped his palm, and the yellow light stirred up a large amount of magma in the magma lake, which then rapidly spun and condensed into a magma fireball.

Yan waved his hand, then pushed it into the air again, and the condensed magma fire bullet flew away, leaving a scorching smell in the air, and then exploded at the highest point in the air, bringing a rain of magma fire to the scorching earth.

Yan moved his hand again, and a ball of yellow light condensed on his left fist. Around the yellow light, the air seemed to form a huge, distorted vortex, as if the air itself was being compressed instantly within this terrifying light.

This compressed yellow light was somewhat similar to the magma fire bullet that had just been fired, but it was not composed of magma. Instead, it was pure earth-attribute soul energy that was distorted, condensed, and compressed by gravity to form a yellow sphere similar to a Rasengan.

When the yellow sphere was compressed to its limit, a huge yellow beam of light burst out from Yan's fist. A massive force, as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down, swept across a large area of ​​the earth's core, creating a terrifying scene like an earth dragon turning over.

This move is Yan's second 100,000-year soul skill from his fourth soul ring, Titan Skybreaker. This move is a genuine offensive skill and is related to his previous gravity control ability.

Titan Skybreaker utilizes the control of gravity to instantly compress and rotate the soul power of air and earth attributes with the distorted gravitational energy, ultimately forming a terrifying energy attack.

The power of this soul skill far surpasses that of the ninth soul skill of an ordinary Title Douluo, and its power is even more terrifying when used against people.

Imagine if that yellowish-brown aura had condensed and exploded right next to a person's body or even face; even the most powerful Soul Master would likely have perished.

However, achieving the ideal burst state of such a soul skill is not easy. After all, no one who can reach the level of Title Douluo is stupid; they all have their own trump cards.

Although Yan has many trump cards in his hand and dares to say that he can deal with most of the titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent, he still acts very cautiously and rarely reveals his secrets to others.

"Xiao Yan, your two soul skills are quite good." When Yan was testing his skills in this underground world, he only had the Flame Queen by his side. The goddess had lived in the human world for a long time and knew how to use sweet words to please boys. Or rather, the goddess's gentle side always belonged only to a certain holy son.

"This is not bad, is it? Thank you, Blaze." Yan was very satisfied, but he only said that it was not bad. The soul power aura in his body gradually subsided, and his second martial soul also deactivated its possession state.

He walked to Lieyan's side, his right hand naturally encircling her slender waist, and with a smack, he left a spit on Lieyan's face.

Chapter 483 Twin Fire Dragons

"Xiao Yan, as long as you're satisfied."

Flame didn't dislike someone's rather excessive behavior; she even turned her face to let him taste her luscious red lips.

Yan naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. He pulled the beautiful goddess into his arms with practiced ease, and their bodies pressed together, allowing him to fully feel the elasticity of her delicate body and the endlessly wonderful and moving sensation.

Lieyan nestled in his arms, tilting her head slightly and closing her beautiful eyes, letting him do as he pleased. Yan lowered his head to gently inhale the faint fragrance in Lieyan's hair, feeling her graceful movements and breath, before lowering his head to taste her red lips.

Lieyan hugged Yan tightly around the waist, displaying a shy yet proactive demeanor like any girl in love. In Yan's embrace, she felt a sense of security and comfort she had never experienced before.

Although Yan's strength was incomparable to hers, she felt incredibly safe. After realizing her feelings for Yan, she strived to become more like a human girl—gentle, obedient, and lovable—to become Yan's perfect partner.

The two of them embraced, enjoying this wonderful feeling. Surprisingly, Yan, who was usually absurd, did not have any desire at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Lieyan whispered softly in his ear, "Xiaoyan, how much longer are you going to hug me? Haven't you hugged me enough yet?"

Yan tightened his embrace, unwilling to let go so easily, and said in accordance with his own wishes, "Lieyan, I haven't hugged you enough yet, I'll never get enough."

Lieyan moved shyly in his arms. "Xiaoyan, you greedy and wicked man, I've fallen for you. I don't mean for you to let go, but you can rest for a while now that you're here. We don't have to keep holding each other like this."

Yan's heart stirred upon hearing this. He looked down at Lieyan's delicate, flawless face and lowered his head once more. The kiss made the goddess flustered and weak, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

The Earth's core is perpetually hot, and the surrounding air is distorted and fluctuating. In such an environment, there is virtually no dirt or grime that can exist, so the ground is naturally clean.

Yan casually manipulated the fire energy in the area to condense it into a red jade bed, and the two of them rolled onto it and became entangled together.

Yan initially had some wicked intentions, but after actually lying down with Lieyan in his arms, he couldn't help but feel unwilling to ruin this beauty. After indulging his desires, his body relaxed, and fatigue washed over him like a tide. He closed his eyes and rested, following his heart.

Lieyan felt his breath so close to hers, and heard the pounding heartbeat from Yan's chest in her ear. Her beautiful face turned incredibly red.

The goddess quietly fell into his arms, slightly raising her head to look at his face without making a sound. She quietly took Yan's hand, leaned against him, and placed Ji Dong's hand on her waist. Her delicate body curled up slightly, nestled in his embrace.

With a smile and a faint sense of satisfaction, she closed her eyes, and soon, her breathing became even and gentle.

A warm red light rose from Lieyan's body and gradually enveloped Yan. The two seemed to merge into one, their breaths and heartbeats completely synchronized.

After an unknown amount of time, when Yan opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed and invigorated. He sensed the cleansing red aura energy within him and understood that this was a special arrangement made for him by Lie Yan. He felt both happy and guilty.

He looked down at that smiling, pretty face, then lowered his head again, preparing to taste those fiery red lips without any rouge, when suddenly he stopped and turned to look at the abnormally turbulent surface of the Earth's core lake.

"Boom boom..."

The once calm lake in the center of the earth began to churn again, with large amounts of bubbles gushing out and scorching red flames rapidly converging on the small island in the center of the lava lake.

On the central island of the Earth's core lake, various materials that are extremely precious to the Five Elements Continent are arranged into a precise magic array. Various energies of heaven and earth are extracted, condensed, and then fed into the array, where they are absorbed and refined by the dragon egg located at the array's eye.

This dragon egg was intended by Lieyan to be Yan's mount and pet, and its origins are quite convoluted. It was originally the descendant of the current patriarch of the Dragon Clan on the Five Elements Continent, but it was stolen by a traitor of the Dragon Clan and taken away from the clan, and many years have passed since then.

The traitor among the dragons was a female dragon with frost attributes. After stealing the dragon egg, she planned to hatch it and raise it as a tool for her own enjoyment. However, because the attributes of the two were too different, the female dragon tried for many years but failed to hatch it.

Later, Yan inquired about some information about the dragon race from Lieyan. The cunning Lieyan thought that Yan wanted a dragon offspring as a mount, so he took the dragon egg from the Frost Dragon and started the incubation process again.
