Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan calmly asked, "What are the conditions?"

"First, the Water of Life contains the last bloodline of the Dragon Clan, and I hope you will not harm her."

The Dragon King's voice trembled slightly. The last bloodline of the Dragon Clan to me was his daughter. If he had a choice, he would never have taken such a risk. "Secondly, I hope that after you obtain the Water of Life, you will refrain from interfering in the affairs of the continent for the time being."

I don't know what your purpose is in coming to the Dragon Rider Nus Continent, nor do I intend to hinder your abilities or actions. However, I hope you will proceed only after I have completed my plan to destroy the Abyss Plane. This is my request; I implore you both.

“Your two conditions are not excessive, but I also need to add two conditions. First, if the bloodline of the divine dragon is truly pure in the Water of Life, we guarantee that we will not harm her.”

Yan paused for a moment, then held up a second finger. "And regarding the second condition, if your plan succeeds, we will naturally abide by the agreement."

However, if your plan has a major flaw and is destined to fail, we can't wait indefinitely; we will still get things done.

“I agree. The Fountain of Life, I have now stopped its movement, you may go to that __cpLocation.”

The Dragon King remained silent for a long time before finally speaking again. Immediately afterward, a clear scene appeared before Yan and Lieyan's eyes, showing the location of the Spring of Life.

After memorizing the location, Yan smiled and said, "As expected of the Dragon King, we will naturally act in accordance with the agreement."

"Goodbye, gentlemen."

After the sound faded, the Dragon King fell silent. His powerful yet gentle aura slowly dissipated, and everything around him returned to calm.

"Let's go too, Blaze."

Yan spoke to Lieyan, who didn't say much. With a gentle wave of her hand, ripples appeared in the surrounding space, and a teleportation channel appeared on the spot. The two of them and the Great Yan Sacred Fire Dragon disappeared from the spot.

"Alas! These are troubled times. Once again, beings from another world have invaded our world. I hope they won't be as cruel as the Mother Demon Clan..."

The Dragon King's voice rang out again. His eyes were fixed on the direction where Yan and Lieyan had left. In the end, he could only sigh and fall silent.

He was already dead after all. Even if his soul remained, it wouldn't change anything, let alone stop that woman who was even more powerful than the Mother Demon King.

……

Above the plains of Falan, a vortex tore through the void and emitted light, and three figures—two people and one dragon—appeared on the grassland.

Yan stepped back onto solid ground. The spring sunshine was bright and the scenery was pleasant, so he was in a good mood. The Great Yan Sacred Fire Dragon beside him was also wagging its tail happily. Yan stroked the white dragon's head with one hand and said with a smile, "Little guy, you've been meditating there for so long, have you gained anything?"

"Hooho..."

The black dragon head next to it looked at Yan and touched Xiaobai with a bit of jealousy, and whined and nuzzled against it.

Yan, naturally, couldn't show favoritism, so he immediately reached out his other hand to touch it, and then he and the dragon started playing around.

Lieyan watched Yan and the Great Yan Sacred Fire Dragon playing around. Although it was a bit childish, the scene made her feel exceptionally warm.

After playing around with the Great Yan Sacred Fire Dragon for a while, Yan looked at Lie Yan and asked, "Lie Yan, did you find a way to solve your problem in that space just now?"

“Xiao Yan, I feel that the seal is a bit strange, and there seems to be something wrong with what the Dragon King said. He said he destroyed the Mother Demon King, but I don’t think so. A god-level soul is not so easily erased.”

Lieyan shook his head. "However, I did gain some insights in that space and have some clues. I still need some time. Your agreement to the Dragon King's conditions is exactly what I wanted."

Hearing what Lieyan said, Yan understood and smiled, "I see. Then we need more information to figure out a solution. Let's go to the Fountain of Life."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lieyan nodded, and the two discussed for a while before choosing a direction and heading out.

They weren't exactly familiar with the Dragon Rider Nus Continent, but it wasn't entirely unfamiliar either. The location given by the Dragon King was enough for powerful individuals like them to find it with a general idea.

They don't have anything urgent to do right now. This trip is both for cultivation and relaxation, so there's no need to rush. It's perfectly fine for them to travel together like this.

At the northernmost tip of the continent of Longzinus, in the coldest and harshest Ice and Snow Forest, amidst a blizzard-shrouded forest, two figures, accompanied by a divine dragon, were traveling. The places they passed through were covered in ice and snow, appearing so strange in this icy landscape.

Lieyan didn't particularly like the surrounding icy and snowy environment. She wrinkled her delicate nose and looked around, but her body moved even closer to Yan.

"This place is quite interesting. The harsh environment here has actually allowed many precious bloodline magical beasts to survive."

Yan's gaze swept across the forest. With his current cultivation level and spiritual power, this forest held no secrets for him. The ancient magical beasts deep within the forest also piqued Yan's interest.

The history of the Dragon Rider Nus continent is not very long. The earliest it can be traced back to is the era when the Eastern Divine Dragon appeared, which was probably the era when the world was first formed. That era is not too far from now, only about ten thousand years ago.

If we calculate it this way, the Dragon Knight Nus Continent is a very young plane, and the ancient creatures that existed when this plane was first formed have many secrets in their bloodlines.

Of course, the first batch of creatures when the plane was created, such as the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan, were basically all wiped out.

However, the direct bloodlines of these oldest creatures have not been completely extinct. There are still many ancient bloodline creatures active in this world, some of which are even blood relatives of these original creatures within ten generations.

There are many such creatures in this far northern ice forest. One of Yan's purposes in coming to the Dragon Rider Nus Continent this time was to find a creature suitable to be his soul ring, and these ancient creatures were naturally the objects of his sample collection.

While it's not true that the older a creature is, the more powerful it is, many powerful beings do have ancient lineages and often exhibit ancestral traits.

"Hey! Found it."

After wandering around in this far northern ice forest for a while, Yan made a discovery. Right in the center of this ice circle, a pale blue spring made of unknown rocks was quietly sleeping there, with gentle life force spreading out like pure nature itself.

This was the second time Yan had sensed such a vast and surging life energy. This pure life force reminded him of the Lake of Life in Douluo Continent.

The Lake of Life in Douluo Continent is a key energy point that gathers the primordial power of the continent. At its deepest point lies the Silver Dragon King, one of the strongest beings in the universe and a split in the Dragon God. It can be said that the formation of that place is related to the Dragon Clan.

The formation of this Fountain of Life is closely related to the dragon race of this world, as it is the condensation of the dragon race's blood, which is truly quite strange.

"There's another person next to this spring, a man, no, it's a girl."

The divine sense of the Blazing Flame was even stronger than that of the Flame, and it immediately investigated the situation at the Fountain of Life. There was a person next to the Fountain of Life, who, without a doubt, was the last bloodline of the Dragon Clan mentioned by the Dragon King.

The man stood quietly beside the Fountain of Life, his back to them, his gaze fixed on the water, seemingly lost in thought, or perhaps dazed.

He was dressed as a middle-aged man, and at first glance he looked like a man, but Lieyan could easily see through his true nature and realize that he was a female.

"The so-called harmony between man and nature in this world does have some merit."

Yan and Lieyan quickly arrived at the Fountain of Life, their gazes landing precisely on the man, who was in a rather peculiar state.

His breathing was even, without any unnecessary fluctuations, and one could not even sense any emotion emanating from him. He was very still, as if he were a part of the universe, inseparable from it.

There were no energy fluctuations, no emotional fluctuations; he was like a stone statue. This was the unity of heaven and man, a kind of magical state in this world that allowed one to clear one's mind of distractions and unleash one's full power.

"You've arrived."

The moment the flames appeared, the middle-aged man's body trembled almost imperceptibly, then he let out a sigh and turned around.

Chapter 488 Little Dragon Girl and Mother Demon King

On the continent of Dragon Rider Nus, before the Fountain of Life, when Yan and Lieyan arrived, the person standing before the Fountain of Life slowly turned around, changing from having his back to the person to facing him.

His gaze wasn't sharp, nor was it gentle, but it possessed an indescribable penetrating power, as if it could see right through a person in an instant.

"You want to fight?"

Yan sized up the man disguised as a middle-aged man and spoke calmly. However, the middle-aged man did not say a word, but slowly raised his right palm towards him, palm facing outward.

Yan felt a sudden sense of unease; he had a feeling that this guy was not someone he could defeat and that he was no match for him.

Lieyan seemed to have sensed something earlier than Yan. She took a few light steps to stand in front of him, her eyes fixed on the person in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had some doubts.

"In the message he left me, he mentioned that if I wanted to obtain this water of life, I had to pass my test."

The middle-aged man's expression didn't change much, but his gaze towards the flames revealed a deep and hidden fear; he was terrified of the flames.

"The message left by the Dragon King is outdated. He agreed to let us come to find the Water of Life, but there were conditions. We don't need any tests."

Yan reached out and gently grasped Lieyan's wrist, shaking her head slightly. Lieyan might have sensed that something was off about the guy in front of her, but Yan knew his background very well.

This person disguised as a middle-aged man is actually the last descendant of the so-called Dragon Clan, the daughter of the Dragon King, but she is not entirely the Dragon King's daughter.

In the ancient war, all the powerful members of the Dragon Clan, including the Dragon King, sacrificed themselves to seal the passage between the two worlds. The Dragon King destroyed the Mother Demon Queen's divine body and killed her, but he was not able to completely destroy her.

Before her death, the Demon Queen escaped with a wisp of her soul, which parasitized the unborn daughter of the Dragon King. Relying on the indestructible nature of her soul, she was reborn and gradually replaced the Dragon King's daughter over endless years, eventually possessing her body and being reborn.

Therefore, the guy in front of Yan and Lieyan is a being with a divine soul. Lieyan is stronger than him and naturally sensed something, but after all, she knows too little information to figure out the whole situation.

"Is that so! You've reached an agreement with him, then it's you who will use the Water of Life!"

The middle-aged man's gaze shifted slightly and landed on Lie Yan. Although his strength had not recovered to its peak, his eyesight had not diminished much.

He couldn't fathom the strength of the Blazing Flame, which seemed to be even stronger than him at his peak. It was probably because it didn't need the Water of Life, so the one who needed it was Yan.

Yan nodded, already pondering how to deal with the Demon Queen. "Hmm, I'm somewhat interested in the so-called Water of Life."

"Come with me!"

The middle-aged man nodded to Yan, never daring to look at the flames for more than a moment during the process. After greeting him, he turned and walked towards the spring of life.

"You can just jump down."

The middle-aged man paused in front of the Spring of Life, said something, and then jumped into the spring with a splash.

"wait for me."

Yan said something to the raging flames, then walked to the spring that contained a rich life force and took a look. Without hesitation, he jumped into it.

"Ah! This feeling is really great."

Everything around him was warm and cozy, as if he were wrapped in a furnace at a comfortable temperature. Yan could not feel anything other than comfort. He subconsciously let out a pleasant groan, feeling a sense of ease both inside and out.

The effects of the Water of Life are powerful; even Yan, who is already at level ninety-six, can still feel his life essence being enhanced.

He squinted, savoring the sensation. A faint sweetness, a delicate fragrance, and a smooth, pleasant taste filled his mouth. The comfort that spread from head to toe was intoxicating. Especially as the feeling intensified, it became even more unforgettable.

Yan opened his squinting eyes wide, taking in the surrounding world. The pale red spring water was extremely clear, and the faint fragrance seemed to come from the water itself. The sweet taste in his mouth was from this water.

At this moment, in this pale red spring water, besides him, there was another person. She was also looking at Yan, her gaze cold and calm, without much emotional fluctuation.

The woman had long black hair, fair and delicate skin glistening with water droplets, an exquisite face, black eyes, a high nose bridge, soft facial features, and lips that were neither too thick nor too thin, yet deep red.

Her coldness was not like Li Sha's, because the coldness she exuded was the kind of coldness that didn't care about anything, a kind of indifferent coldness.

Have you seen enough?

The black-haired woman made no attempt to conceal her stunning figure, simply placing her hands quietly at her sides, fully displaying her body to the man before her.

"not yet."

Yan responded subconsciously, then looked up a little guilty, glancing past the misty water as he looked outside. He wasn't guilty about the beautiful woman in front of him, but rather worried that Lieyan would be jealous.

Although Lieyan had always been gentle and obedient in front of him, feelings are selfish, and that's why he never arranged for Lieyan to have contact with other girls related to him.

Lieyan's strength is too great. Even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue are far inferior to her. If she were to appear, their fishpond would surely explode.

"Be careful."

Yan's gaze swept past the white mist and landed on the raging flames beside the spring. The goddess was not angry; she simply parted her lips and gently reminded him to be careful.

Yan smiled at Lieyan through the white mist to let her know he was safe, then looked at the black-haired girl again, "How should I address you?"
