Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Even if they don't get that chance, they can easily eliminate the other holy lands when they finally take the stage, which would be beneficial to the Heavenly Evil Cult.

"Ouch! You little thing, stop scratching me."

Just as Yan was plotting to arrange for the Heavenly Evil Cult to reap the final benefits, the kitten in his arms became unhappy and used its mouth and claws to teach Yan, the guy who was scheming against her father, a lesson. Although Yan was not injured, he still felt the pain and couldn't help but pat and rub the kitten's bottom, giving it a good scolding.

The restless little thing in his arms was naturally his new pet, the Divine Heavenly Spirit Tiger Tian'er. No one knew what methods this fellow used to turn the little white tiger into a kitten, and even the Snow God Mountain Lord did not notice anything amiss.

"Shangguan Tianyue was defeated so quickly, the Haomiao Palace's plan is likely to fail."

Just as Yan was training his new pet, Wu Yunyue suddenly whispered something, and a figure fell rapidly. Shangguan Tianyue was seen staggering backward, her face pale.

"Yan, Brother Yan. Is he...is he alright?"

Yan felt his clothes being tugged, and when he turned around, he saw Shangguan Bing'er, who was wearing a mask, standing beside him. At that moment, her eyes were subconsciously fixed on Shangguan Tianyue, and her words were full of concern.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. When she saw Shangguan Tianyue, she felt a strange sense of familiarity. When she saw that he seemed to be injured, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Don't worry! There are many treasures in the Vast Expanse Palace, he'll be fine."

Yan took Shangguan Bing'er's small hand and gently comforted her. If he didn't already have a kitten in his arms, he would have liked to take the opportunity to pull this nervous little beauty into his arms and comfort her properly.

Just as Yan was contemplating having women on both sides, the battle resumed a thousand meters in the sky. Following Shangguan Tianyue, Huang Xingyun, the Valley Master of Youqing Valley, also chose to make a move.

Although he did not possess the Vast and Boundless Set, the Time attribute was one of the four sacred attributes. While his one-on-one combat ability was average, his Time skills were quite troublesome, causing Xue Aotian some trouble.

However, the Snow God Mountain Lord's strength was not to be underestimated. Although he had guessed the three-way conspiracy of Blood Red Prison, Valley of Affection and Vast Palace, he was still full of confidence.

After the Snow God Mountain Lord dealt with Huang Xingyun and the two Heavenly Kings from the Heavenly Evil Sect and the Blood Red Prison, the Vast Palace Lord Shangguan Tianyang finally made his move.

"Shangguan Tianyang has little chance of winning."

Everyone was focused on the outcome of this match, but Yan, who possessed an AI, had already predicted that Shangguan Tianyang's plan would fail.

Xue Aotian's strength is quite remarkable among the God-level beings, while Shangguan Tianyang's Heavenly Power is only slightly deeper than Shangguan Tianyue's. Although Xue Aotian has consumed a lot of his physical strength, who knows if this is not part of his scheme? Therefore, Yan does not have high hopes for Shangguan Tianyang in this match.

As Yan predicted, Shangguan Tianyang lost. Xue Aotian paid extra attention to the situation when dealing with Shangguan Tianyue, and chose to fight Shangguan Tianyang quickly, not giving him a chance to fight a protracted battle.

With Shangguan Tianyang's defeat, the first round of individual battles in the Holy Land Competition was basically over. In the next twenty-odd matches, the people from the various Holy Lands basically just went through the motions, and everyone decisively conceded defeat when facing Xue Aotian.

This situation continued until the final match, when Wu Yunyue, the Evil Emperor of the Heavenly Evil Cult, flew to the opposite side of Xue Aotian, still preparing to fight one last time.

"Evil Emperor, please."

Xue Aotian became serious once again. The pressure from Wu Yunyue was even greater than that from Shangguan Tianyang. Naturally, he didn't want to be overturned in this final match.

"please."

Wu Yunyue responded coldly, and a dense gray light burst forth from his body, causing his body to instantly swell to a size larger. His eyes turned blood red, and his long, flowing hair turned a chilling gray.

When facing Xue Aotian, Wu Yunyue used the Demonic Transformation once again. This time, unlike the previous skirmish during the draw, she didn't even try to test the waters; she went all out.

"Boom~~~"

A terrifying explosion rang out in the air, and Wu Yunyue shot straight at Xue Aotian like a cannonball. His entire body was covered by a nine-piece legendary set of gray crystals, and in his right hand, a long sword formed of gray crystals flashed through the air.

The Evil Emperor Set, although this legendary set only has nine pieces, is the best set worn by successive Evil Emperors. Like the Hateful Heaven Set, it is the pinnacle among the nine-piece legendary sets, not much weaker than a typical ten-piece set.

Boom!

A thunderous roar seemed to echo in the sky as Xue Aotian and Wu Yunyue's instantaneous clash tore the heavens apart. The two immediately engaged in a fierce and unpretentious battle, which quickly escalated into a heated state, clearly indicating that neither of them intended to prolong the fight.

Chapter 552 Divine Descent

On the battlefield in the sky, the battle between Wu Yunyue and Xue Aotian continues.

While Xue Aotian, at the Celestial God level, undoubtedly has an advantage in absolute strength, Wu Yunyue in her Demonic Transformation state is not to be underestimated.

With his peak Heavenly Emperor level cultivation, his explosive power was in no way inferior to Xue Aotian's. The Evil Emperor's Sword in his hand unleashed a rain of swords as it swung and opened, and he went all out with every attack.

A giant hibiscus flower, shimmering with a deep blue light, bloomed behind him. Streams of blue light drifted out like raindrops, appearing so delicate. But as these slender blue lights drifted out, the endless golden light released by Xue Aotian in the sky was instantly shattered.

The Heavenly Evil Cult is renowned throughout the vast continent for its three major attributes: evil, darkness, and life. Among the many superior attributes, the life attribute is the most unique.

Life-attribute gems cannot be imprinted with any offensive skills, but the heavens are fair. Every life-attribute gem master will have their own natal plant to protect them at the moment their natal gem awakens. And this Blue Rain Hibiscus is the natal plant of the Evil Emperor Wu Yunyue.

On the other side of the sky, Xue Aotian, the strongest person in the world, had a solemn expression. After defeating four Heavenly Emperor-level experts, Shangguan Tianyue, Fentian, Huang Xingyun and Shangguan Tianyang, in succession, his consumption was undoubtedly huge. He was no longer at his peak when facing Wu Yunyue.

Wu Yunyue unleashed her Demonic Transformation attack as soon as she appeared, which was extremely disadvantageous for him, who was already exhausted. He could only use all his strength to deal with it.

A series of dark golden lights flashed, and the Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit Set shone brightly under the holy power, instantly giving his body a holy glow.

As Xue Aotian swiftly retreated to dodge Lan Yu Furong's attack, he raised his divine scepter high, slowly uttering a series of obscure incantations. These were ancient incantations from the era of the ancient beast race, a language that even many powerful individuals could not understand.

The sacred Heavenly Tiger of Snow God Mountain and the retired dragon clan were both rulers from ancient times, with an extremely long lineage.

As the incantation was chanted, the divine aura emanating from Xue Aotian grew stronger. Behind him, the illusory light of the Divine Heavenly Tiger slowly emerged. In the blink of an eye, the phantom of the Divine Heavenly Tiger had become solid and tangible.

"Roar~~~"

The enormous, sacred Celestial Spirit Jia looked around gracefully in the air, let out a roar, and its massive body suddenly plunged downwards, rushing into Xue Aotian's body from behind.

In an instant, Xue Aotian's entire body erupted with dazzling golden light. The intense holy radiance rendered the entire sky unbearable to look at, and the rich fluctuations of heavenly power reached their peak at this moment.

On Xue Aotian's skin, strange demonic patterns resembling tiger stripes gradually appeared. At this moment, his aura returned to its peak state, and his eyes turned into a deep purple, spewing out rays of purple light and bursting with powerful mental fluctuations.

A sharp glint flashed in Wu Yunyue's eyes, and a large amount of evil energy surged out of his body, condensing into a black cloud. The rolling black cloud absorbed darkness, evil and other negative energies, forming a black sky that directly confronted the divine radiance.

The world was divided into black and white, but Wu Yunyue was still no match for Xue Aotian. However, this burst of energy barely managed to withstand Xue Aotian's divine radiance, maintaining a dark world of her own for Wu Yunyue.

While Xue Aotian was still unleashing his divine skills, Wu Yunyue followed her sword and charged straight for the central army. A dense burst of dark blue light erupted from all directions, enveloping both of them completely—a unique innate protection characteristic of the life attribute.

Blue Rain Lotus blossomed with countless threads of light, not only defending against the increasingly intense holy radiance, but also launching an attack on Xue Aotian. At the same time, Wu Yunyue's Evil Emperor Sword also slashed out horizontally, attempting to break through Xue Aotian's defense and destroy his Heavenly Technique.

With a swift slash of sword light, a resounding hum that shook the heavens and earth echoed through the sky. A strange scene unfolded: amidst the intense, holy radiance, countless slender blue rays of light bloomed from the enormous, strange blue hibiscus flower, continuously dispersing the golden light until it reached the top of Xue Aotian's head.

The black, malevolent energy formed a wisp of smoke that surged out from Wu Yunyue's body, completely enveloping the two of them. A gray blade appeared and disappeared within the black smoke, and a crescent moon, resembling fangs, flickered in and out of sight, searching for Xue Aotian's weakness.

Xue Aotian's expression remained remarkably calm, almost eerily so. He gazed at Wu Yunyue, who was less than three feet away, as the twelve Intent Pearls in his hand simultaneously radiated divine light.

At this moment, he seemed to have been forged into an indestructible golden body, remaining unmoved as Wu Yunyue's Blue Rain Hibiscus and soaring evil energy swept over his entire body.

Even more unbelievable is that at this crucial moment, he closed his eyes, and the incantation he chanted became faster and faster, with more golden light gathering on his entire body.

Wu Yunyue understood that if she did not break Xue Aotian's defense at this moment, she would have no chance after the opponent finished casting the spell. So she released her last bit of power without reservation.

His eyes suddenly turned red, and he became arrogant and wicked, as if he had taken some kind of drug. Even more evil energy surged out of his body.

In mid-air, a gray aura filled with evil filled the sky, its powerful evil attributes suppressing the golden light in the sky like a mountain pressing down. It seemed that Wu Yunyue did not care about her own consumption at all, and frantically attacked the evil Xue Aotian who was still chanting incantations.

With each attack from Lan Yu Furong and his Evil Emperor Sword, the heavens and earth seemed to change color. Suddenly, the longsword in his palm swung upwards, and a dark, sinister light gathered and concealed itself on the blade.

Wu Yunyue swung her sword violently, making a groundbreaking motion from top to bottom. A black crescent-shaped blade of light shot out from the sword, cutting straight through a large area of ​​golden light and heading straight for Xue Aotian's head.

Xue Aotian, who was chanting incantations, couldn't help but open his eyes at this moment. His left hand, which was constantly making hand gestures and seals, suddenly shot out, and a crystal-clear light blade flew out of his palm and crashed hard into the evil black moonlight in mid-air.

"Hiss~~~"

This time, the collision between the two did not produce a loud booming sound. When the gray-black and golden colors collided in the air, they only produced a strange and piercing buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, both the blackish-gray and the golden color rapidly dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, canceling each other out in the air. The Evil Emperor, who followed closely behind, successfully broke through the golden light and arrived in front of Xue Aotian.

The soft, ticking sound was extremely jarring. Xue Aotian finally managed to block the Evil Emperor's Sword, but at the cost of a deep wound on his left hand that exposed bone and almost severed it. Drops of golden blood dripped down the sword's edge, turning into specks of light and disappearing. Xue Aotian's eyes suddenly shone brightly.

"Evil Emperor, you have given me many surprises this time, but unfortunately you are still going to lose."

As Xue Aotian spoke, he suddenly withdrew his left hand and struck out with the divine scepter in his right hand. With a clang, the Evil Emperor's Sword trembled incessantly, and Wu Yunyue's figure also retreated rapidly.

Xue Aotian's right hand, which was holding the Divine Scepter, moved slowly. The Divine Scepter drew mysterious trajectories in the air, outlining one complex golden symbol after another with its solid golden light.

After these symbols appeared, they floated into the air and hovered and rotated around Xue Aotian. With each additional symbol that appeared, the golden light surrounding Xue Aotian increased by one ring.

When the 108th golden symbol appeared, these symbols formed a huge golden halo in the air. At this moment, Xue Aotian paused slightly and glanced at Wu Yunyue, who had already regrouped.

"Evil Emperor, today I will show you the secret technique of Divine Descent from the Heavens of Snow God Mountain."

Xue Aotian raised the divine scepter high, and the incantation he uttered instantly became more impassioned. His entire body radiated endless light like the sun.

At this moment, neither Wu Yunyue, who was opposite him, nor the countless powerful figures below could see him clearly; only the pure, holy gold emanating from him filled the world.

As Xue Aotian moved his divine scepter, all 108 golden symbols seemed to be activated simultaneously. One hundred and eight golden rays descended from the sky, shooting out and surging towards the still-erupting Evil Emperor Wu Yunyue.

The primordial energy in the air fluctuated violently, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from the divine scepter in Xue Aotian's hand, shooting into the sky.

The moment this golden light rose, the heavens trembled violently. After the golden beam of light entered the center of the 108 golden symbols, a large amount of heavenly power poured out from Xue Aotian's body and was released wildly from the divine scepter.

A layer of golden radiance gradually formed under the combination of the golden light emitted by the 108 symbols, and Wu Yunyue, who was originally evil and awe-inspiring, turned into a brilliant gold at this moment.

Xue Aotian's figure reappeared. On his body, which was rendered golden by the holy halo, specks of golden starlight rose up, and more specks of light engulfed Wu Yunyue's position.

Xue Aotian's expression turned serious. He drew a golden pattern in the air with his divine scepter that was more complex than any of the previous symbols. With a low shout, the golden pattern brought a stream of light and slammed directly onto Wu Yunyue's forehead.

Just as the golden light was about to imprint itself on Wu Yunyue's forehead, her head suddenly tilted back, and the evil light and blood energy began to dissipate, while a dazzling golden light burst forth instantly.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the sky to tremble violently, and the overwhelming pressure caused countless powerful figures below to show their horror.

"what……"

The intense golden light was so dazzling that everyone could not open their eyes. Xue Aotian once again summoned the divine scepter and cast a golden rune. The golden light suddenly receded and merged into Wu Yunyue's body. His mouth suddenly opened, and he shouted, spitting out a large amount of evil energy.

Chapter 553 Single-handedly Annihilating Two Emperors

"The Evil Emperor is about to be defeated, and the Snow God Mountain Lord's victory is also hard-won. It seems that the Snow God Mountain Lord is preparing to give up on that group battle."

At the edge of the Blood Red Prison plaza, Yan shook his head as he watched Wu Yunyue exhaling a large amount of evil energy in the sky. In the end, this evil emperor still failed to seize the opportunity, and the outcome of this round was already decided.

"I lost."

As Wu Yunyue conceded defeat in a low voice, Xue Aotian withdrew his divine power, and the golden light and evil aura suddenly dissipated, with the two figures landing safely from the sky.

"Gentlemen, is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"

Xue Aotian hovered three zhang above the ground, surveying the entire arena. His consecutive defeats of five Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses had forced him to use almost all his trump cards, leaving him in a very precarious state. However, he still chose to intimidate and challenge them, determined that no one could take away his title as the number one in the world.

"In this first round, the Heavenly Evil Sect conceded defeat to the Lord of Snow God Mountain."

While the Evil Emperor Wu Yunyue was still meditating, a voice rang out from within the Heavenly Evil Sect's camp. Xue Aotian's expression changed drastically as he looked over, only to see a masked man holding a black and white tiger-striped cat nodding slightly to him.

Thank you.

Xue Aotian's gaze lingered on the tiger-striped cat in the man's hand for a moment before he thanked him. As soon as Yan Fang spoke, he sensed that this man was no ordinary person. If this man chose to make a move at this moment, he was truly uncertain after the series of battles.

However, Yan did not take advantage of his misfortune. Instead, he chose to help him. The Heavenly Evil Sect admitted defeat to the Snow God Mountain Lord. There was a lot to say about this. It not only flattered Xue Aotian, but also forced other holy lands to express their stance, thus dispelling some of their sinister thoughts.

Xue Aotian quickly understood the benefits of Yan's words and found the masked man more and more pleasing to the eye.
