Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"The Lord of the Netherworld should know something about him. Your wife has been suppressing a being from another dimension, the Lord of the Netherworld, the embodiment of negative power on the vast continent, the source of destructive power..."

Yan briefly introduced the situation of the Lord of the Underworld to the group, then pointed to the four people on the light screen, "They have been corrupted by the power of destruction and have become the Lord of the Underworld's subordinates."

The ultimate goal of the Lord of the Underworld is to slaughter all living beings and turn the vast continent into a plane of death. They will be the enemy of all of us.

The Zhongtian Empire occupies the most prosperous and wealthy land on the Vast Continent, making it their primary target for attacking the Sacrifice. Furthermore, your wife, Lord Snow God, is one of the powerful figures who sealed the Lord of the Underworld, thus implicated in this matter. Therefore, we have no choice but to join forces.”

Xue Aotian and the Shangguan brothers remained silent. Judging from the information displayed on the screen, Yan was absolutely right. However, getting these three forces, which already had conflicts and could even be considered sworn enemies, to join forces was a difficult decision to make.

Yan looked at the group and said, "Gentlemen, you should make a decision quickly! With me here as a mediator, you can all feel more at ease. If I really think you are not capable of helping me, I can simply leave. None of you will be able to escape."

Shangguan Tianyue suddenly stared at Yan and said, "Who exactly are you? If you want us to believe you, at least let us know your identity!"

Yan smiled and removed the mask from his face, revealing that his hair and once-white hair had turned fiery red. "We have met before, Your Highnesses."

"You, it's you, how is that possible?"

Shangguan Tianyue and Shangguan Tianyang were both shocked. They remembered Yan; they had even met him at the Haomiao Palace after the Heavenly Pearl Competition.

When Shangguan Tianyue was attacked, Yan was also listed as a suspect, but this possibility was later ruled out due to conflicting evidence. Now it seems that they were all deceived.

Xue Aotian probed Yan with his powerful spiritual energy, "You are human, but you have not awakened the Heavenly Pearl. Could you also be a being from another dimension?"

"Let me correct the Mountain Lord's mistake. I am not from another dimension, but from another plane."

Yan shook his head and explained, "Although the region where the Lord of the Underworld is located is also outside the Vast Continent and belongs to a different space, in essence, that other space and the Vast Continent are still in the same plane, that is, the same world."

The Fairy Tree Romance

However, I am a true outsider, from another world, and I cultivate a different system. But when cultivation reaches a high level, the paths lead to the same destination. The so-called transcendence of heaven and earth and the level 100 godhood in my world are basically the same thing.

The Lord of the Underworld is a god-like being, transcending the mortal realm. Once such a being breaks free and is unstoppable, he is capable of single-handedly destroying the entire world.

Shangguan Tianyue suddenly said, "Wait, so what you meant earlier was that you come from outside this world, and if things don't go well, you can still escape from our world."

Yan nodded. "That's right, I can indeed escape, and I can even take people with me. If things really come to a head, I can also take your daughters with me..."

Upon hearing his words, Shangguan Tianyue instantly flew into a rage again, "You bastard, I'm warning you, don't even think about making a move on Fei'er."

Yan smiled and said, "Uh, Second Palace Master, you have more than one daughter, right? It wouldn't be good if I only took Fei'er with me, of course I want them all."

"Second brother, calm down."

Shangguan Tianyue couldn't stand it and was about to fight Yan, but Shangguan Tianyang remained calm and quickly stopped him.

Xue Aotian spoke up at this moment, "Boy, it was you who took Tian'er away from the Ten Thousand Beasts Empire, wasn't it!"

"Mountain Lord, the situation was a bit complicated back then. I was just picking up Heavenly Cores in the Paradise of Ten Thousand Beasts when Tian'er came to me on her own."

Yan explained briefly that this guy was quite strong, and if he broke through his domain, the experts in the Crimson Prison might notice what was happening here.

"You, fine, it's fine if Tian'er wants to go out and play for a while, but if you dare to bully her, I will definitely not let you off the hook."

Xue Aotian clearly thought things through more than the others. He didn't make any definitive statements, nor did he indicate that he agreed to certain things. He simply warned Yan not to bully his daughter.

He was now almost certain that the tabby cat being held in someone's arms during the day was his daughter in disguise. Since his daughter was so close to this guy, he, as the old father, really didn't have much of a way to deal with it.

"Brother Xue, Brothers Shangguan, as everyone knows, we must come up with a solution regarding the Lord of the Underworld, Blood Prison, and Valley of Affection."

At this moment, Wu Yunyue spoke up, saying, "The Lord of the Underworld wants to destroy the world, so we must unite to stop him. The Blood Red Prison and the Valley of Affection, which have already been corrupted, must also be destroyed."

This is something that one or two holy sites can accomplish; it would definitely require the mobilization of most of the empires and powers across the continent…

The Evil Emperor's words made the three of them think deeply, and they all understood the seriousness of the situation. Blood Prison and Valley of Affection relied on killing living beings and sacrificing their blood essence to increase their strength. If this was not stopped, according to what Yan Fang had just said, Burning Heaven, Huang Xingyun, and the other two could break through to the Heavenly God level.

Four celestial beings, plus countless celestial emperors and kings, are not something a single entity can handle, so an alliance is necessary.

Chapter 558 The Three Great Masters

"Evil Emperor, my Snow God Mountain is naturally willing to join forces. I just don't know if some people have other intentions. If they hadn't been playing the balancing act, Blood Prison and Valley of Affection would never have reached their current level."

Xue Aotian glanced at the Shangguan brothers and said coldly, realizing that he didn't have many choices after understanding the situation.

Based on what he knew, and in accordance with what Yan Fang had just said, the Lord of the Underworld and his Snow God Mountain were definitely sworn enemies. Even if he wanted to pledge allegiance to the Lord, the Lord would most likely settle scores later. Therefore, he had to fight back and completely kill the Lord of the Underworld.

"The Blood Prison and the Valley of Affection are committing heinous acts of slaughtering living beings. My Vast Palace will naturally not tolerate them, much less join them in their evil deeds."

Shangguan Tianyang said with a serious expression, while Xue Aotian just pursed his lips.

He didn't care about Xue Aotian's attitude. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Haomiao Palace is willing to form an alliance. The foundation of our three holy lands is stronger than those two rebels. As long as we cooperate with each other to promote development, I believe we can solve this problem."

Wu Yunyue shook her head. "Blood Prison and Valley of Affection are manageable. Even if they manage to bring out those dead skeletons, we can still find a way to win."

Even if Fen Tian, ​​Huang Xingyun, and the others have all broken through to the Celestial God level, there are still ways to deal with it. The key is that the Lord of the Netherworld must not be allowed to break the seal.

Xue Aotian continued, "The Lord of the Netherworld won't break the seal so easily. My wife and some seniors have been sealing that guy. According to Yan, he must have found a way to open a spatial rift, which is located in the Crimson Prison."

"I have a way to send a message to my wife, alerting the seniors over there to this matter. At the same time, we can join forces to attack the Crimson Prison, destroying this rift from the outside. With this combined attack from within, we should be able to reseal it."

"Everyone, in fact, the Lord of the Underworld has a way to completely destroy it."

Yan suddenly interjected, and everyone present looked at him with anticipation in their eyes.

After much discussion, the best solution they could come up with was to reseal the Lord of the Underworld. It wasn't that they didn't want to destroy him; rather, they simply lacked a way to do so.

Although they had never actually met, the other party's ability to casually elevate someone to the Heavenly Emperor level and even help them break through to the Heavenly God level clearly indicated that they were an existence above the Heavenly Transformation level, something that was simply beyond their capabilities.

"The Lord of the Underworld is an existence above the Heavenly Transformation level. To defeat him, one must at least reach the same level and master the power to restrain him."

Yan paused slightly as he spoke, his gaze sweeping over them one after another. "Unfortunately, none of you here, or any of the powerful figures of this generation on the Vast Continent, have such good fortune."

However, just because it doesn't exist within the Vast Continent doesn't mean it doesn't exist outside of it. There are other worlds beyond the Vast Continent's plane, and among the powerful beings I've encountered, there are those capable of resolving it.

Xue Aotian, Wu Yunyue, and the Shangguan brothers' eyes lit up. Wu Yunyue quickly said, "Yan, can you contact that powerful expert to come here?"

Yan said meaningfully, "Master, it wouldn't be difficult for me to invite a powerhouse who surpasses the Lord of the Netherworld. However, I came to the Vast Continent with some small goals, and since I haven't finished them yet, it's not appropriate for me to return."

Wu Yunyue, Xue Aotian, and the other three were speechless, unsure of what to say about someone's blatant demand for benefits.

Finally, the wealthy and powerful Lord of the Vast Expanse Palace, Shangguan Tianyang, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Young Master Yan, I wonder what business you have come to the Vast Expanse Continent for? Tell us and we can discuss it together; perhaps we can be of some help."

Yan nodded with a smile, "I came to the Vast Continent to obtain powerful earth-attribute energy to refine my soul ring. My soul ring is similar to your celestial beads. You only need celestial beasts to inscribe skills, but the soul ring I need requires complete refinement."

Yan noticed that Xue Aotian's expression was somewhat gloomy, so he quickly changed the subject, "However, the core of a dead celestial beast is also acceptable. And with my current cultivation level, the best target for refining is a celestial core of the earth attribute celestial god level."

Rebirth in the Great Era of Surfing Waves

After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Tianyang looked at Xue Aotian and said, "Earth-attribute Celestial God-level Heavenly Cores are not something that our Vast Expanse Palace is known for, so we haven't tried to collect or collect them. Brother Xue, what about your Snow God Mountain?"

Xue Aotian stared at Yan for a long while with a stern face before slowly saying, "My Snow God Mountain has a Heavenly God-level Heavenly Core with Earth Attribute, but it will take time to retrieve it."

"Mountain Lord, Blood Prison and Valley of Affection are still accumulating strength, so for the time being, we still have plenty of time."

Yan smiled and changed the subject, "Also, I'm very interested in the legendary set crafted by the Divine Master. I wonder if the Palace Master can grant me this small wish?"

Shangguan Tianyang hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "It is our honor that Young Master Yan is willing to come to the Vast Expanse Palace. I think the other Divine Masters are also willing to communicate with you."

"Gentlemen, now that we have reached an agreement on the alliance, we can all go and prepare to carry out our tasks."

Yan continued, "Blood Prison and Valley of Affection are still accumulating strength. We can secretly cooperate to develop them and carefully target them. I believe that if you join forces, you will be able to defeat them completely."

After exchanging words, Xue Aotian, Wu Yunyue, and the Shangguan brothers bid each other farewell. As their figures disappeared from the spot, the red light that had permeated the entire valley slowly dissipated.

The five holy lands on the vast continent were thus divided into two factions, both preparing for a great war that would sweep across the entire continent in the future.

……

Inside the Ningxing Pavilion on Tianzhu Island, Zhongtian Empire.

When Yan came to Tianzhu Island again, he received much better treatment than last time. This time, the person who guided him and introduced him was Shangguan Longyin, the Palace Master of the Zhongtian Empire's Tuoyin Palace.

This top expert from the royal Shangguan family is one of the top high-ranking members of the Zhongtian Empire, yet he was specially chosen to guide him this time, which shows how much the Haomiao Palace values ​​him.

Yan didn't come alone this time; he brought a group with him: Minghua, Caicai, Bing'er wearing a mask, and Tian'er sleeping in his arms.

Yan was planning to come to Haomiao Palace to freeload, and of course he wouldn't just think of himself. With such a good opportunity, he was bound to take as much as he could. After all, Haomiao Palace was a large and wealthy family. In the original story, they equipped more than a hundred experts above the Heavenly King level with nine pieces of legendary equipment. They were really rich.

"Young Master Yan, the three Divine Masters are already waiting for you at the Condensation Pavilion."

As Shangguan Longyin led Yan around, he couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Bing'er, who was wearing a mask, a few more times. He felt that this girl was somewhat familiar.

Yan Yihuan held Shangguan Bing'er's slender waist to prevent the little beauty from running around, and then smiled at Shangguan Longyin and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Elder Shangguan."

As they arrived at the stairs of the Condensing Form Pavilion, Yan finally met the several divine masters enshrined in the Vast Expanse Palace after ascending to the top floor.

"Three masters, this is Young Master Yan."

Shangguan Longyin stepped forward first to pay his respects to the several divine masters, while Yan observed these top figures from the Vast Continent's Condensation Master world from a distance. The Vast Palace enshrined three divine masters, two men and one woman, all of whom were quite elderly.

"Young Master Yan, this is Master Weiyang."

Shangguan Longyin first introduced the old lady, Master Weiyang, to Yan. This master was wearing a gray cloth robe, was not tall, slightly plump, and had shoulder-length white hair that was loose and messy, giving her a rather strange appearance.

Yan nodded slightly to Master Weiyang in greeting, and Shangguan Longyin then introduced the other two divine masters, "This is Master Ye Ruichen. And this is Master Xing Tianyi, who can be considered the most outstanding figure-forming master of our time."

Ye Ruichen was an elderly man of similar age to Wei Yang. He wore a purple robe, and his short, gray hair stood up like steel needles. He had a square face, a strong physique, and an imposing presence.

But beneath his imposing appearance lies a pair of remarkably slender and long hands, with exceptionally fair skin, creating a striking contrast with his appearance.

As for the Divine Master Xing Tianyi, whom Shangguan Longyin emphasized, he was an old man with white hair and beard. Compared to Wei Yang and Ye Ruichen, he looked at least twenty years older, his aged appearance resembling that of a candle flickering in the twilight of his life. However, his eyes were exceptionally bright, with incredibly deep, dark green pupils.

"Three masters, thank you for your painstaking efforts in crafting legendary sets specifically for us."

As Yan spoke, he took out a box from his storage space and opened it. A yellow light immediately surged out, and the strong fluctuations of heavenly power made the entire Condensation Pavilion tremble. "In addition, I have another matter that I need to trouble the three of you with. I need your help to temper this heavenly core and activate the Holy Spirit."

Xing Tianyi's slightly cloudy eyes suddenly became serious. "You mean, to re-forge it back into life? A Heavenly God-level Heavenly Core can indeed do this, but doing so is an extremely risky thing."

Yan insisted on his idea, "The three masters should go ahead and do it. As for the Holy Spirit born from this Heavenly Core, I will naturally be able to deal with it."

Shangguan Longyin nodded slightly to the three divine masters, and finally Master Xing Tianyi agreed, "Alright! I agree to this matter. However, to refine this god-level core into a holy spirit, many precious materials are needed. Are you prepared?"

Shangguan Longyin, who was familiar with the inside story, understood Shangguan Tianyang's meaning and quickly said, "Master Xingtianyi, Young Master Yan is a distinguished guest of my Vast Expanse Palace. The Palace Master has already given instructions that all the resources in the treasure vault will be open to Young Master Yan and his party."

"Since this is the Palace Master's wish, I naturally have no problem with it. Elder, please arrange for someone to prepare these materials."

After discussing with Ye Ruichen and Weiyang, Xing Tianyi wrote down the names of some precious materials on a piece of solidified paper and then handed the paper to Shangguan Longyin. Shangguan Longyin glanced at it and roughly confirmed that the materials were available before handing it to his attendant.

Shangguan Longyin's follower was no ordinary person. He was surrounded by spatial fluctuations and disappeared from the spot not long after. After a while, he reappeared and took out many precious materials from his storage ring, which were exactly what the three divine masters needed.

Inside the top floor of the Ningxing Pavilion on Tianzhu Island, Zhongtian Empire.

As Shangguan Longyin arranged for his subordinates to deliver all the materials, the three great masters, Xing Tianyi, Ye Ruichen, and Weiyang, began preparing to refine the Heavenly Core Condensed Being needed by Yan.
