Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"for you."

Yan casually tossed the girl whose little face he had pinched red to the elf queen, and the next moment his figure appeared beside the three Shangguan sisters.

He looked at this one and then at that one, then suddenly reached out and hugged all three of them. "Shh! Don't move, the situation is a bit complicated."

The three Shangguan sisters seemed to have been intimidated by him and actually stopped struggling, which allowed him to enjoy the blessing of having multiple wives for a while.

"Human, are you from the Vast Palace? Why did you attack my daughter?"

After receiving the elven princess, the Elf Queen carefully examined her, then frowned slightly and looked up at Yan, her azure eyes filled with doubt.

"As I just said, I meant no harm. The reason I played a little joke on the princess was mainly because there's a mouse here."

As Yan finished speaking, his voice suddenly became sharp, and he then struck out with his palm in a direction that he had just locked onto.

With a deafening roar, a crack appeared out of nowhere in mid-air, and then a man in black appeared before hundreds of eyes.

The man in black was not weak and his reaction was not slow. He sensed something was wrong when Yan was speaking and wanted to take action, but it was too late.

As Yan unleashed his palm strike, the space in the direction he was about to move forward suddenly tore open, and a yellowish-brown fist imprint slammed directly down towards his head.

This person was decisive. Since he couldn't dodge it, he simply took it head-on. He raised both hands at the same time and made a spinning motion in the air. A strange and distorted invisible halo suddenly appeared and blocked Yan's fist force.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of Yan's punch. Although he was a Heavenly Emperor-level expert in the vast continent, he was just a pushover against Yan and was directly punched into the ground.

However, this guy's strength is quite interesting. He didn't die immediately after taking Yan's punch, and even had the strength to escape from the pit and prepare to escape again. But in this elven territory, how could he possibly have so many opportunities?

“Your Majesty, I just discovered that this person was secretly harboring ill intentions towards the princess, so I took the initiative to protect her.”

At this moment, Yan explained to the Elf Queen, "In this emergency, we acted swiftly and made many mistakes. I hope Your Majesty can forgive us."

"Outsider, stay."

After hearing Yan's words, the Elf Queen turned her gaze and locked onto the man in black. A flash of green light appeared in her hand, and a scepter taller than her body appeared in her grasp. With a gentle wave of the scepter, a large expanse of emerald light appeared on the earth, and the man in black, who was just about to escape, was entangled in place.

In an instant, the sealed land of the elves had changed. Behind the queen, a vibrant green world was awakened, and it seemed that the entire land was pulsating and awakening, releasing a power that was hard to look at directly.

The Elf Queen wanted to keep him there, but the man in black also had some special skills. While his body was suspended in mid-air, he suddenly made a series of twisting movements, and his whole body was rapidly retreated back to the airspace where Yan had just bombarded. The parts that Yan had injured had also recovered.

"Time reversal? So you're a remnant of the Valley of Love. We didn't clean you up properly last time, and a giant rat of the Heavenly Emperor level actually escaped."

Yan looked at the man in black and said with some surprise, then a cold smile appeared on his lips, "I heard that Love Valley is always full of couples. Why are you alone? Did your wife die? Was she wiped out last time? Speaking of which, your wife died, why didn't you commit suicide for her?"

The remnant of the Valley of Love finally couldn't hold back any longer and erupted, "Bastard, you beast! How many innocent lives in the Valley of Love have been tragically lost at your hands! You heartless executioner..."

Yan then uttered another infuriating remark, "Oh ho, you're not running away anymore? How could you be so impulsive? Now you've missed your chance, and you'll only get yourself killed. It's a pity that the Time Attribute of the Valley of Love will be wiped out."

At this moment, one of the three sisters hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful! This person is a remnant of the Valley of Love. We mentioned him to you before. The Valley of Love has already pledged allegiance to the Lord of the Underworld who yearns for death. He possesses the power of destruction."

Upon hearing this, the Elf Queen instinctively became more vigilant. More green light, like threads, splashed and intertwined in the air, forming a net to capture the remnants of the Valley of Love alive.

A series of dark golden lights shone, and a set of nine legendary armor pieces appeared on the Heavenly Emperor of the Valley of Affection, enveloping his body.

A powerful energy surge erupted instantly, and distorted time-attribute energy was released and spread from the man in black, distorting the space within an area of ​​several thousand square meters. It also contained countless tiny black cracks, which were not spatial ruptures, but time ruptures.

The power of time shattering is second only to spacetime turbulence, and even more terrifying than ordinary space shattering. Once hit, one might not be torn apart instantly, but would experience instant aging or shrinking.

Moreover, the time fluctuations that appear in these cracks are different. If they invade the body, they may cause time disorder in various parts of a person's body. At best, the body will be torn apart; at worst, one will be unable to live or die, and even death will become a luxury.

The time attribute is a very special attribute. It is not very effective at low cultivation levels and is mostly used for support. However, once you reach the Heavenly Emperor level, the power of any time skill will be considerable. It can be said to be an attribute that becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents, with both a very high lower limit and a very high upper limit.

The Elf Queen took the Time-Shattering Beast very seriously. Green light appeared in her palm, and the blurry, hundred-foot-tall figure behind her gradually solidified.

A woman in a green dress appeared in Yan's line of sight. Almost all of her decorations were made of plants. Her slender waist was exposed, revealing her playful navel. Her full breasts were about to burst out, and her delicate skin had a healthy white color.

Her long, emerald-green hair cascaded down her back, and given her towering height, it resembled a emerald-green waterfall, a truly breathtaking sight.

"Goddess of Nature".

Yan sensed a familiar aura emanating from the woman. This aura was very similar to the deity worshipped by the Forest Demon Clan that he had encountered on the Five Elements Continent. It seemed to be a goddess of nature as well, but he was unsure whether the two were the same deity.

After the goddess of nature was summoned, her eyes became slightly more lively. Looking at the purple-red lightning constantly emanating from the black-clad man, her eyes were filled with displeasure.

Let's die together!

Seeing that the Goddess of Life had been summoned, the man in black knew that he was unlikely to escape unscathed this time, so he charged directly towards Yan, shouting that he wanted to perish together with Yan.

Yan didn't rush to respond, but instead paid attention to the man's eyes and actions. Suddenly, he struck out with his palm behind him again.

The man in black waved his hand in the air, and a long sword fell into his hand. The long sword was entirely black, and with a flash of light, a strange, twisted black light swept straight towards the three Shangguan sisters behind Yan.

This black light didn't look very long, only about ten meters long, but it wasn't an ordinary attack; it also contained other energies, the power of dark elements.

This man in black actually possessed both darkness and time attributes, a superior attribute combined with a holy attribute. Such an attribute combination could definitely be considered exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, he encountered Yan. Even if he were to become a god, Yan would still have plenty of ways to destroy him, let alone just have talent.

"Boom!!!"

The black-clad Heavenly Emperor, who was about to launch a sneak attack on the three Shangguan sisters, was blasted back by Yan's palm, and then a large expanse of green light pulled him back to the ground.

"You're asking for it! How dare you hurt my woman in front of me!"

Yan spoke coldly. If he hadn't been alert enough to notice that this guy had ulterior motives, he might have actually succeeded.

The three Shangguan sisters do have great potential, but their strength is still a weakness. However, Yan believes that with his guidance, they will not have any problems in the future.

"Ahhhhhh..."

The man in black let out a roar, and in an instant, red and purple colors quickly covered his entire body. A large amount of destructive energy was drawn out, and the entire building began to show some abnormalities.

Chapter 601 The Tree of Life

"Be careful, the destructive energy within this guy has been fully activated."

Yan first reminded the Elf Queen, then sent the three Shangguan sisters away from the battlefield with a palm strike. Their strength was insufficient, and staying too close might pose a danger.

The Elf Queen reacted quickly, swiftly dodging the black-clad man's counterattack. The black-clad man, unleashing destructive energy, had bloodshot eyes, and his black longsword rippled with sword light in front of him, the endless sword light resembling countless twisted purplish-red demonic snakes.

With a flick of his longsword, the crimson demonic snakes detached from the blade and swept in all directions, while he himself leaped into the air and charged toward the Elf Queen.

The Elf Queen understood that this person might be prepared to fight to the death, but confident in her strength, she did not dodge again, but instead stood still to gather her strength and confront him head-on.

With a deafening roar, the space within a radius of several hundred meters around the center of the collision between the two beams of light collapsed into fragments. The man in black was sent flying backward by the powerful recoil, and then rings of distorted light instantly appeared behind him.

The powerful propulsion propelled his body out like an arrow, turning him into a tiny black dot in the blink of an eye.

This man in black seemed to be risking his life, but in reality, he was waiting for this opportunity. He was the only strong person left in Youqing Valley, and since everyone cherishes their life, he wouldn't seek death unless he was desperate.

The man in black pushed his speed to the limit, and distorted rings of light spread out behind him, forming a powerful temporal turbulence. This move could interfere with a person's vision, perception, and even divine sense; it was his last resort.

"Are you sure you can leave?"

Yan's voice suddenly rang in the man's ears. The man in black, who was speeding away, suddenly noticed a blurry shadow in front of him and instinctively used his Heavenly Power to block the attack.

Yan struck the man in black with his palm, and a bizarre scene unfolded. The distorted light surrounding the man in black vanished completely, and the black sword in his hand shattered into countless fragments that dissipated in the air.

With a muffled thud, the black longsword shattered. The man in black had no more weapons to stop Yan. He used all his strength to collide with Yan, and the result was naturally miserable.

His body flew backward again, this time with no chance of escape. As he flew backward, a strong aura burst forth from his body.

The man in black was panting heavily. He couldn't understand why Yan was so difficult to deal with. What terrified him even more was that the powerful attributes he had always relied on were completely useless. Was he really going to die here this time?

The man in black revealed his final resolve. He glanced at Yan and the Elf Queen floating in the sky, and the heavenly power within him surged. Crimson flames instantly rose, and his aura increased exponentially in an instant.

Faced with this desperate situation, the man in black made the same decision as Huang Xingyun before: he gave up the idea of ​​escaping and prepared to use all his strength to forcefully break through and fight to the death.

"I already told you, you deserve to die."

Yan's icy voice rang out behind him. The man in black felt a chill run down his spine, and before he could even utter a scream, he vanished into thin air. Yes, vanished, turned to dust and disappeared into the air.

"In the end, I still have to do it myself. That's really bad luck."

Yan casually shook the ashes in his hand and looked at the Elf Queen with a speechless expression. He hadn't originally planned to deal with the man in black himself, but he didn't expect that the Elf Clan's experts were so inexperienced. With so many Celestial Gods, they almost let a Celestial Emperor escape.

Yan didn't know what to say. Were the Celestials of the Elf race just for show? And the Elf Queen, she had been using her ultimate skill for so long but still couldn't kill her in one hit. Was the phantom of the Goddess of Nature just summoned for show?

"Your Majesty, as you just saw, the Lord of the Underworld has set his sights on your daughter. No one can escape this calamity of the Underworld. Therefore, let us join forces!"

Yan suggested to the Elf Queen that she lend a hand, which meant asking for reinforcements. The three Shangguan sisters had come here for this very reason, but judging from the fact that they had been delayed for so long without any results, it seemed that their previous attempts had failed.

“This distinguished guest from the Vast Expanse Palace, please come to my clan’s residence. We can have a proper talk.”

The Elf Queen did not reject Yan's suggestion, but she did not agree immediately either. Clearly, she needed to discuss this matter with others.

Yan nodded and followed the Elf Queen back home. On the way, he got together with Shangguan Bing'er and Shangguan Fei'er. One of the sisters was gentle and easygoing, while the other was lively and mischievous. However, Yan had them completely under his control. As for the cold and proud eldest sister, Shangguan Xue'er...

Yan played a little trick, deliberately making Shangguan Xue'er the only third wheel among the four of them. Seeing someone hugging and cuddling with her two younger sisters, she naturally felt very uncomfortable.

……

Deep within the sealed land of the elves, Yan led her three sisters on a casual stroll, admiring the beautiful scenery.

The Elven race is currently divided over the Netherworld Calamity. The Elven Queen is trying to gain the support of several Celestial Elders, while Yan and his companions have not waited and have secretly slipped away to enjoy their four-person world.

Because of the misunderstanding earlier, Yan gained the trust of the Elf race, so the Elf Queen did not arrange for anyone to follow them, but allowed them to act freely.

"Brother Yan, what are we doing here?!"

Yan led the three sisters to a deserted, verdant area. The surrounding vegetation was lush and uninhabited, and the flowers, trees, and shimmered with a green glow. It was a secluded place perfect for doing bad things. Bing'er was a little worried, but with her two older sisters by her side, she felt somewhat at ease.

Although Brother Yan has always been unreliable, he wouldn't do such a thing to the three sisters in broad daylight. If it were her or Sister Fei'er alone, it might be possible... Shangguan Bing'er thought to herself, but she underestimated someone's integrity.

If such an opportunity were to arise, someone would certainly not let it slip by. After all, one should seize the moment and not waste the chance.

But Yan didn't have that kind of thought right now. He was lustful, but he didn't think with his lower body. It was fine to play around with romance occasionally, but to treat that kind of thing as a top priority was just being a fool.

“There are things here that interest me, and I’m also curious to know if the nature goddess worshipped by the elves is the one I know.”

Yan looked at the rippling green light ahead and suddenly waved his hand. Instantly, a large amount of life light surged out, and the life aura within the already vibrant sealed land rapidly increased to a level that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Just by standing in this vast expanse of green light and taking a few deep breaths, a few people can feel their own life force pulsating.

"call out!"

A figure soared into the sky, projecting a massive phantom of a goddess—the Elf Queen, who was convening a meeting with the elven elders.

This stunningly beautiful woman floated in mid-air, emanating a faint green aura. Yan sensed it from afar; the Elf Queen's essence was rapidly increasing, and at an astonishing rate, it seemed to be surpassing the limits of the mortal realm.

The Elf Queen hovered in mid-air, her face filled with astonishment and shock. Her gaze was fixed on one direction, and she was completely stunned, her delicate body trembling slightly involuntarily.

A rich green light emanated from the Elf Queen. The emerald green light was like a crystal-clear jade, radiating precious light and filled with endless vitality and the allure of green.

As a beam of green light shot into the sky, the entire sealed land of the elven race trembled slightly. In the distance, another beam of emerald green light also shot into the sky.

An enormous tree suddenly appeared in the sealed land. It was three hundred feet tall, and its trunk was emerald green, as if it were carved from an emerald. It didn't look real at all, but the strong life force it exuded reminded everyone that it was a living being.

The enormous canopy of this giant tree spreads out in the air like a huge platform. At a glance, one can see a clearly visible green mist rising from it, which is all tangible life energy.
