Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"In short, we cannot let our guard down now. We must continue to guard the seal until that human appears. However, the weakening of the destructive force is a good opportunity. We can summon the Dragon Turtle to replace it, and we can take turns resting and recovering, which will make things a little easier for us." The Dragon Emperor's words made the guardians relax a little. With a vortex ripple, the Dragon Turtle's enormous figure appeared in the sealed space. After appearing, it quickly came to the Dragon Emperor's side.

The Dragon Emperor instructed the Dragon Turtle, "Dragon Turtle, you replace Filia first. Take this opportunity to rest and recuperate."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The dragon turtle quickly arrived below the Netherworld Demon Tiger, Felia, and rushed up to take her place the moment Felia left the magic circle. Everything went smoothly, and no destructive power erupted from the Netherworld space, which relieved everyone.

The Netherworld Tiger, Filia, quickly absorbed energy to restore herself.

"It seems that kid is indeed extraordinary. He has at least caused the Lord of the Underworld a great loss. Tian'er has a good eye. However, we don't know how he is doing now." While resting and recovering, the fourteen guardians, including Philia, kept an eye on the Underworld Space. The lack of any eruption within the Underworld Space allowed them to rest peacefully, but it also made them somewhat worried. Yan still hadn't reappeared.

...The fourteen guardians on the sealed space were all chanting Yan's name. Meanwhile, deeper within the sealed space, in the Netherworld Space where the Lord of the Netherworld originally resided, countless destructive energies were being frantically stirred and absorbed by a vortex. A figure in earthen yellow shone like gold, constantly radiating an increasingly powerful aura and presence.

Beside the earthen-yellow giant, a phantom in a red dress, both ethereal and stable, gazed gently at the giant's core, silently watching her beloved through this colossal martial spirit body.

The Lord of the Underworld was destroyed by Yan using the power of flames. Everything it possessed was naturally acquired by Yan, including this evil god. The vast Underworld space actually had no physical substance; it was entirely composed of various negative energies.

This kind of negative energy is definitely poison to ordinary cultivators, unless they are good at using this kind of attribute power. However, Yan is not that kind of person, but at his level, it is not too difficult to complete the attribute transformation of energy.

In this situation, the vast Netherworld space is a treasure trove waiting for him to discover, especially when he is refining the Netherworld Lord's essence, it provides him with crucial energy support.

"Boom!" After an unknown amount of time, the enormous vortex suddenly exploded, and the extremely violent energy transformed into a hurricane that swept across the dark sky, as well as Yan, whose eyes were closed, at the center of the earthen giant.

Yan's eyelids suddenly twitched, and his hands instantly clenched into fists. The moment he opened his eyes, the entire Netherworld seemed to light up with a blazing sun.

Intense golden flames suddenly erupted from his body, and all the turbulence in the air seemed to freeze at that moment.

In the next instant, a beam of earthy yellow light carried golden divine radiance into the sky, and the dark and filthy Netherworld space that had existed for countless years instantly shone brightly.

Boom! A tremendous suction force erupted from every corner of Yan's body, and his true form as the Earth Sovereign shone with unprecedented brilliance. The dark storm of countless destructive energies transformed into turbulent currents that splashed out at this moment.

They surged into Yan's body from all directions with lightning speed. Golden flames surrounded Yan's body, and from his feet, rings of light slowly rose up.

The rings of spirit that rose from Yan's feet were so magnificent, so breathtakingly beautiful, each ring radiating a golden glow.

The first spirit ring to appear was red, and around the red spirit ring was a layer of brilliant golden light, like the divine radiance of a god.

The second spirit ring was the same, until the fifth spirit ring, when the change occurred. The fifth and sixth spirit rings shimmered with golden fluctuations, and the divine radiance surrounding them was incomparably dazzling, just like the spirit rings of a true god, full of divine power fluctuations.

However, by the seventh spirit ring, it had turned back to bright red, only the golden radiance on it was even more intense.

The eighth spirit ring had a few more gold rings than the other red spirit rings, but it couldn't compare to the two brilliant gold ones. However, the aura surrounding it was the most profound among all the spirit rings.

It must be said that the Evil Eye Tyrant is definitely a great prodigy among soul beasts. If it weren't for the special rules of the Ferocious Beast Tribulation in Douluo Continent, he would probably have already broken through the shackles and achieved the body of a divine beast.

All eight spirit rings were surrounded by golden light. Although they had a sacred aura, they were not entirely consistent with the power of a true god. It was only the last spirit ring that rose that was different. It was a dazzling turquoise gold, filled with the sacred light that represented the power of a god.

It's already terrifying for a martial soul to have a soul ring configuration of over 100,000 years, but Yan's configuration is even more terrifying, especially the last soul ring, which is clearly a divine soul ring that only a level 100 god would have, yet he possesses it at the Title Douluo stage.

Although Yan kept calling the Lord of the Underworld a piece of trash, this trash was a genuine Heavenly Transformation level expert, which, in the terms of Douluo Continent, would be a level 100 god-like being.

Although this god was somewhat weak and didn't gain any advantage in a direct confrontation with Yan, its essence was undeniable. It was only natural that Yan refined it into the ninth soul ring of his second martial soul and obtained a divine soul ring.

"Xiao Yan, congratulations." Beside Yan, the illusory flame clone congratulated him. Seeing her husband gain such a great benefit, she was also very happy.

"Blazing Flame, how are things on your end? I saw you just now..." Yan reached out his palm towards Blazing Flame's clone. The touch was warm and real, but it was just a clone after all and couldn't soothe his longing. He really wanted to show off this great benefit that he had finally obtained.

"Xiao Yan, I haven't fully broken through yet, but it's almost time. Thank you." Lie Yan shook her head, indicating that breaking through to the first-level godhood wasn't easy, but her words clearly implied that her breakthrough was inevitable; it was just a matter of time.

"That's good." Yan nodded.

"The Dragon Continent is in another universe, beyond the reach of the God Realm, so you can cultivate in peace. However, we still need to make some arrangements regarding the Five Elements Continent. Your existence may have already been known to the God Realm, but the gods who know you don't take you seriously and may even be playing games with you, which is why they haven't taken any action." Yan thought of many more things. In the original story, the Good God King and the Evil God King made a bet using the flames. Was it a spur-of-the-moment decision or something they had planned all along?

He couldn't be sure about that at the moment. However, the fact that the Divine Realm hadn't taken any action even after the Flames had disappeared for so long indicated that even if the Divine Realm was paying attention to the Five Elements Continent, their efforts weren't particularly significant.

After careful planning, he should be able to handle everything properly.

"Xiao Yan, thank you." Lie Yan understood Yan's meaning and was naturally moved. With this little lover, everything she did was much easier. Originally, she was only at the peak of the third level god, but now she was just around the corner to become a first-level main god. In the god realm, she would be a giant.

"There's no need for thanks between us." Yan smiled slightly, and the blazing flame clone smiled back at him. As the crimson lotus heavenly fire swirled, the blazing flame's figure disappeared before his eyes. Yan's chest warmed again, and the crimson lotus mark reappeared.

However, the mark was much dimmer this time. It had consumed a lot of energy to deal with the Lord of the Underworld, and it was unknown when it would be used again.

Yan silently chanted "Blazing Flame" in his heart, then composed himself and looked around. The dark and gloomy Netherworld had become a world on the verge of collapse, with violent energy fluctuations everywhere, as if the entire space was about to explode at any moment.

"This space does have some value." With a thought in his mind, a large amount of earthy yellow light swept out, and within a few breaths, the entire space was filled with yellow radiance. Then, this incomparably dazzling light gradually subsided, and a small point of light danced in Yan's palm before he casually put it away.

"Time is running out, it's time to go back." Yan's figure appeared in front of the fourteen guardians, including Philia, but he did not greet them. Instead, he casually tore open the void and opened a spacetime tunnel.

"Auntie, please say goodbye to Tian'er and the others. I have something to attend to and need to go back." Yan nodded slightly to Felia, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

All of this happened very quickly and surprisingly. It wasn't until the spatial fluctuations completely subsided that Philia and the other guardians realized what had happened.

……

"Douluo Continent, I'm back." Inside the spacetime tunnel of endless void turbulence, Yan looked at the increasingly bright sphere of light in front of him, his eyes shining with confidence.

This return to Douluo Continent will be a new beginning for him. It's time to begin his plans for becoming a god and the God Realm.

Chapter 609 Yan's Grand gesture

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Seven-colored light shimmered continuously at the bottom of the Lake of Life. A huge silver dragon, at least a thousand meters long, was sleeping at the bottom of the lake. Suddenly, it opened its eyes, and a silver light flashed. A beautiful girl appeared on the shore of the Lake of Life.

"Lord?"

The Beast God Di Tian had been guarding the Lake of Life. When the Silver Dragon King took human form, he sensed it immediately and came here.

He carefully looked around but found nothing, so he tentatively asked, "Did you find anything?"

"He's back."

The Silver Dragon King made this inexplicable remark, leaving Di Tian completely bewildered. However, he quickly turned his head to look at a certain place on the continent, which was outside the Douluo Continent, in a sea area with surging waves.

"Buzz~~~"

Almost instantly, the elements in the entire Douluo Continent plane, not only the Douluo Continent itself, but also the vast New World, the far north ice plains, and even the almost boundless Western Sea, all began to fluctuate.

Especially in the sea area between the New World and Douluo Continent, elemental energy even formed terrifying tides.

"Boom!"

A terrifying energy storm swept out from the depths of the uninhabited sea, stirring up waves throughout the entire plane. This enormous commotion was felt by all beings whose cultivation had reached a certain level, and countless people turned their gazes toward that unfamiliar sea.

This astonishing elemental vibration was clearly felt even by Soul Warriors who had just acquired Soul Power. From the god-level powerhouse Silver Dragon King to the weak Soul Warriors, countless beings were shocked by the elemental vibration that covered such an astonishing area.

What on earth happened to cause such a violent scene? If such terrifying energy were to sweep across the continent, probably no buildings would remain!

The Star Dou Great Forest is located in the heart of the Douluo Continent. When this terrifying elemental tide reaches the Yulan Continent, it only causes elemental tremors. Yet, even these tremors are enough to shock the beings who can sense the elemental tide, and countless soul beasts instinctively become restless.

"Make them quiet."

The Silver Dragon King called out impatiently, and Di Tian quickly transformed into his true form and let out a dragon roar, instantly silencing the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

"What? What happened?"

After landing, Di Tian immediately released his divine sense, which instantly covered most of the Douluo Continent. However, even though he extended his divine sense to the extreme, he still could not detect the exact location of the source. He could only confirm that the location was very, very far away.

In the Hall of Elders of Wuhun City, the enormous angel statue in the center of the hall suddenly trembled without warning. Fine golden light began to appear on the statue's body, emitting layers of intense golden light patterns.

Boom!

The entire angel statue instantly burst forth with dazzling light. A beam of light transformed into countless golden specks in the air before coalescing again. Qian Daoliu, covered in golden armor and with six wings gently flapping behind him, appeared.

The surging golden flames transformed into a golden pillar of light that shot into the sky, instantly breaking through the restraints at the top of the hall. A series of massive energy fluctuations erupted, causing even the sun to lose its luster.

Both possessing the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Qian Renxue's appearance was even more shocking than Qian Daoliu's, but at this moment, neither of them had the mind to say anything more and rushed to the Papal Palace immediately.

In the deep darkness beneath the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong sat before the Rakshasa statue, attempting to fuse the Rakshasa divine power with the dark divine power into a new divine power. Suddenly, she opened her eyes.

The spiderweb pattern on Bibi Dong's forehead lit up, and she suddenly opened her eyes, which were filled with undisguised horror, as she had been cultivating.

She looked up at the source emanating the astonishing fluctuations. Through endless space and time, all she could see was the vast sky, but she seemed to see something in fact, and her body trembled uncontrollably. "That place, Yan seems to have mentioned it before."

Such intense commotion, the elemental tides felt across the entire continent—could this mean the continental calamity has erupted prematurely? Are the two continents about to collide? But something seems different; is this astonishing phenomenon a sign of godhood?

Bibi Dong immediately stood up. With a swirling purple-green light, her figure transformed into a cloud of purplish-black smoke and disappeared. She reappeared on the main seat in the Papal Palace.

"Has Yan not returned yet?"

After looking around, Bibi Dong realized that Sheng Ziyan was missing, so she asked Hu Liena about it. During her seclusion, Hu Liena had been in charge of all the affairs of the church, and she had done a very good job.

Hu Liena replied softly, "Teacher, Brother Yan appeared once before and said he had something to take care of."

"Is this matter related to Yan? Well then, let's wait and see. Send someone to observe first, and don't resort to drastic measures immediately."

Bibi Dong's eyes flickered. After exchanging words with Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, the three of them handed over the instructions and then headed towards the outer sea together.

……

In the Starry Sky Forest, Di Tian, ​​who had just intimidated the beasts, suddenly looked up at a certain direction in the sky. He vaguely sensed that an enormous, illusory figure had appeared there, as if it had covered the sky, the earth, and the ocean.

The immense pressure, blotting out the sky, sent a chill down his spine, and his blood seemed to boil.

Di Tian felt as if a large stone was pressing on his chest, an indescribable discomfort. This feeling only eased somewhat after the noise from the other side subsided.

His expression turned grave as he looked in the direction from which the aura was coming. Judging by the location, it was in the outer sea where the commotion had just occurred. Could it be that some powerful figure had emerged from there?

"My lord, who is making this move? Could it be that someone has broken through to godhood? But that shouldn't be the case. Back then, the Angel God only caused a tremor on the continent, and the Sea God was only the ruler of the seven seas. Who could become a god and cause such a violent change across the entire plane?"

Di Tian couldn't help but ask the Silver Dragon King, but the Silver Dragon King ignored him and kept staring in that direction. If she didn't know that she shouldn't show herself easily, she would have been tempted to go and witness it for herself.

"What a grand scheme! I never expected him to use such a method to trigger a fundamental change in the entire plane. But how exactly does he plan to do it?"

The Silver Dragon King's mutterings made Di Tian feel as if he had grasped some clues, but he also felt that he could not truly grasp the ins and outs of the matter, though he had some vague ideas.

"Come and see, all of you! Let's keep the soul beasts at peace for a while, because this matter might alarm those guys in the God Realm."

Suddenly, the Silver Dragon King unleashed a burst of shimmering silver light. After churning in the void, the light revealed a blurry screen of light. She then summoned the high-ranking members of the Star Dou Great Forest's soul beasts and gave them detailed instructions once they had all gathered around.

"This is the outer sea, the waters near the continent where the Demon Forest is located. That person is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. What is he planning to do?"

The blurry scene gradually became clear, and what came into the eyes of the many soul beasts was a figure churning the seas. Di Tian had traveled through the Douluo Continent before, so he could naturally recognize that location and the person, but when he truly saw the scene there, he was even more shocked.

"That's right, it was Yan who was handling it. Deep in the earth of that place, two continental plates collided and squeezed together."

The Silver Dragon King nodded and continued, "Although there are no unusual phenomena showing up in that place yet, this problem will inevitably surface sooner or later. When that happens, Douluo Continent and another continent may collide."

If this were to actually happen, it would be an absolute catastrophe. The collision of two continents is no child's play; it would inevitably cause constant earthquakes, endless disasters, and widespread suffering…

Upon hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Bi Ji's eyes showed worry. She then looked at Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the sea, and asked the Silver Dragon King expectantly, "My lord, is His Highness the Holy Son trying to solve this problem?"

“I don’t know exactly what he’s thinking, but I’m sure he’s doing more than just solving this problem.”

The Silver Dragon King shook his head and continued, "However, even with his strength, it is not easy to resolve the problem of the collision between the two continents. Back when my dragon clan was at its peak, such a disaster could only be averted by sacrificing the Mountain Dragon King."

Yan's cultivation of the Earthly Dao is extremely profound; he might have his own ideas, but I'm not sure of his specific actions. However, even if it's just solving this problem, stirring up the energy tides of the entire plane is still a truly grand undertaking.
