Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

However, when the golden light touched the seal left by the Divine Realm Committee, it could only cause a very brief ripple, which made the giant beast underground even angrier and more unwilling.

A giant claw slammed out, leaving a huge claw-shaped dent in the barrier of the sealed space. However, the claw mark, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters, was quickly restored, leaving the owner of the giant claw both angry and helpless.

This giant claw is golden, and the joints of its five fingers are particularly thick. Each joint has a circular protrusion, which looks like a golden gemstone inlaid there, with golden spiral patterns on it.

At the very tip of the giant claw are sharp, cone-like claw points that can stir up space with a casual swing; no one doubts its power.

The giant with the giant claw was as majestic as a thousand-foot mountain. Its intense golden color rendered the entire sealed space in gold, and the aura it exuded was not much weaker than that of the two God-Kings. It was definitely a God-King level existence.

This was a colossal dragon, a terrifying dragon nearly a thousand feet long. Its eyes were the color of rubies, and its pupils were filled with a ferocious and savage light.

It is somewhat similar to the Silver Dragon King in the Lake of Life. Its scales shimmer with a magnificent light. Each scale is rhomboid, and the center point of the two intersecting lines of the rhombus is raised, forming four ridges. It is thick, solid, and full of sharpness.

The enormous wings were squeezed tightly against its back by the sealed space. On its huge head, sharp spikes emerged from the top of its head and the lower jaw, with the spikes on the top of its head extending all the way down its spine to its tail.

Its tail is very long, but the tip suddenly becomes thick and covered with sharp spikes, like an enlarged version of a super spiked hammer.

A thick golden light lingered around it, shimmering and dazzling, even illuminating a huge golden halo beneath it, and a terrifying oppressive force permeated the entire space.

With a series of angry roars, unparalleled power of blood and qi erupted from its body, possessing the might to repel all gods.

This is the Golden Dragon King, the half of his body that was killed and sealed by the God Realm at the end of the Dragon God Chaos. He inherited the Dragon God's incomparably powerful dragon body. Although his dragon soul died, his dragon body did not perish. After a long period of time, he regained his divine wisdom and successfully advanced to the God King. He is the most feared mortal enemy of the God Realm.

However, such an incredibly powerful being was sealed away in this small space. If given a choice, the God Realm would not want this either, but they had no good solution.

It's not that the Golden Dragon King can't be killed, but rather that his dragon body is truly difficult to destroy. The divine realm isn't without a solution, but the cost of completely eliminating this threat is too high. None of the five great powers are willing to sacrifice themselves, so they can only seal it here indefinitely.

Within the sealed space, several beams of silver light suddenly entered the seal along the ripples of space. The Golden Dragon King, which was frantically attacking and destroying, suddenly paused, sensing the familiar aura before it. It cautiously stretched out its dragon claw to touch it.

"Hahaha, it's true, it really is her..."

The Golden Dragon King's dragon body suddenly trembled with excitement. "She has awakened! She has awakened... An opportunity to wreak havoc on the divine realm! Excellent, excellent! I can't wait any longer..."

Chapter 617 Time-Space Turbulence

"Buzz..."

Outside the Douluo God Realm, amidst the chaotic and disordered flow of spacetime, two figures appeared one after the other in this unpredictable place.

The two figures were a man and a woman. The man had red hair and a crimson complexion, surrounded by a faint red light. His state was extremely peculiar, as if he were constantly shifting between illusion and reality. The woman was a stunningly beautiful girl with silver hair and a white dress, with a dragon shadow appearing behind her.

The Silver Dragon King stared at the dark spacetime vortex before him, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "Such a large number of spacetime turbulences have accumulated outside the God Realm. It seems that the God Realm cannot escape this great calamity."

Yan's voice sounded somewhat ethereal, "The appearance of spacetime turbulence also follows the laws and regulations of the world. Over the years, the God Realm has relied on the powerful planes of the universe. Every time it takes action against the gods of the lower realms, it leaves hidden dangers. Over time, this calamity will naturally occur."

This is a calamity that the entire divine realm cannot escape, and it is also the result of their stagnation. For hundreds of thousands of years since the Dragon God's Rebellion, the divine realm has only been suppressing dissidents and wasting its strength, and has never expanded or seriously developed.

Although spacetime turbulence is dangerous, it is not without a solution. So many material planes in the universe can withstand spacetime turbulence without major problems, but the God Realm, the center of the universe, cannot withstand it.

Ultimately, it's because the divine realm has been stagnant for too long. Not only are they complacent and self-enclosed, but they also plan to replace independent godhood with the succession of gods, wiping out all the elites of the lower realm. This may indeed better maintain the rule of the divine realm, but such a move is undoubtedly going against the will of heaven.

Heaven's way is ruthless, yet perfectly just. They have hindered the development of the universe's way, and deserve this calamity. We are merely going with the flow, eliminating them from the stage of history ahead of time.

The Silver Dragon King's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at Yan, "If that's the case, then I'm also a god from the old era. Will I also be eliminated?"

Yan's gaze became unfocused. "The development of the Heavenly Dao has its own laws, and no one can predict the future. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. All we can do is keep improving and ensure that we never fall behind and are eliminated."

"You're absolutely right."

After a moment of silence, the Silver Dragon King nodded, and a faint divine light began to appear on his slender, jade-like fingers. "The replacement of the divine beast lineage by the gods is a development of the times, and now, it is time for these guys to step down from the stage."

"here we go."

With a slight downward flick of her slender jade hand, the Silver Dragon King sent a beam of silver light surging into the chaotic Sea of ​​Time and Space below, instantly causing the energy within the entire Sea of ​​Time and Space to collapse.

Black lightning flashed amidst the chaotic energy, and the gray clouds rapidly spread out, until a small gray dot appeared in their sight.

Eternal God Emperor

This little gray dot is a very strange existence. It is gray and inconspicuous, but it seems to be spinning violently. You can vaguely see that it is like a vortex, a vortex composed of airflow.

Yan looked at the rapidly spreading gray dot below and said softly, "The energy accumulated in the Sea of ​​Time and Space has been detonated. If the prematurely erupting temporal turbulence is discovered in advance, it may not be enough to break through the barrier of the God Realm. You will need to do some cover-up and conceal its movements."

With a clench of his palm, the Silver Dragon King conjured a colossal mountain pillar above the Sea of ​​Time and Space. “I know that by sealing the boiling Sea of ​​Time and Space with the Ascending Dragon Pillar for seven days, the resulting spatial turbulence will be enough to tear apart the defenses of the God Realm. Then, by releasing the Golden Dragon King, and with this coordinated attack from within and without, the God Realm will find it difficult to survive this calamity.”

Under the control of the Silver Dragon King, the Ascending Dragon Pillar emitted a faint, colorful glow. This ultimate artifact, personally crafted by the Dragon God, easily suppressed the initial spacetime storm, preventing any leakage of the turbulent energy.

……

Inside the main hall of the Divine Council, the meeting of the gods continued. The discussions about divine positions and divine kingdoms concerned the future of the divine realm. Until a definite result was reached, none of the gods present could feel at ease.

The Asura God shifted his divine body impatiently on his divine throne, his blood-red eyes gazing at the three temples near the God Realm Committee. After a moment, he looked at the two God Kings of Goodness and Evil, "Those three ascendants have been cultivating in the temples and haven't contacted that guy in the lower realm."

The benevolent god-king said gently, "Shura, this matter cannot be rushed. The most important thing for a god who inherits the divine position and ascends to godhood is to refine the authority and further integrate the power of the divine position."

I believe they are all intelligent people. Whether it's the Spirit Hall or Seagod Island, they have always been diligently collecting spiritual power for the God Realm. They will make the right choice..."

The words of the Kind God King did not satisfy the Asura God. Just as he was about to speak, the Evil God King suddenly stood up. Immediately afterward, the Kind God King's expression also changed. Then, the Asura God, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life all seemed to have discovered something, and their expressions became extremely serious.

"I feel a little uneasy."

The situation of the five great powers of the God Realm naturally attracted the attention of the gods. The strongest of the first-level gods, the Sea God, sensed it. It was a reaction similar to a sudden impulse. He subconsciously looked up, and many other gods also sensed it one after another.

"Buzz~~~"

A buzzing sound suddenly echoed in the heavens above the divine realm, as clouds swirled in the azure sky. But the instant the buzzing sound appeared, the clouds in the air trembled, and then each cloud strangely split open in parallel.

Inside the Divine Council, the Goddess of Life suddenly closed her eyes, and a beam of emerald light flew out of her body, all the way out of the temple and into the Forest of Life, the Goddess of Life's territory.

In the heart of the Forest of Life, a giant tree stands out from nowhere, its canopy completely covering the surrounding open space.

The height of this giant tree is so great that it seems impossible to see the end of its trunk. Its thick trunk is so large that even a hundred people could not encircle it.

The enormous trunk blocked out the sky, like a vast cloud stretching as far as the eye could see. Every branch was covered with dense foliage, exuding a rich sense of life.

"Little Green, what did you sense?"

The goddess of life opened her eyes a moment later, her face pale and her expression terrified. The god of destruction, seeing his wife in such a state, quickly spoke to her with gentle concern.

"Spacetime turbulence, it's spacetime turbulence."

The words of the Goddess of Life caused all the gods to change their expressions, and streaks of light rushed out of the Divine Realm Committee, making the commotion in the sky even more obvious.

"Buzz..."

The buzzing sound rang out once again, and all the gods clearly felt the vibrations brought by the buzzing. The many gods flew together into the sky.

The five great leaders led the gods higher and higher. As they reached the high sky, the divine realm became increasingly illusory. The clouds and mist gradually thinned, and the sky gradually turned into a deep blue.

Looking down from above, one can see that in the realm of gods, one hundred and eight pillars of spiritual energy emit purple light, maintaining the stability of the realm.

High in the distant sky, there is a layer of light membrane, which is the outer defense of the divine realm. The light membrane is constantly expanding outward. This is the outer layer of the divine realm, the key to defending against spacetime turbulence. Once this defense is breached, the entire divine realm will be in danger of collapse.

The five giants were the first to arrive at the outer edge of the God Realm. The pale purple light membrane appeared in their sight. The light membrane outside, with its gray spatial turbulence, fluctuated. The two God Kings and the three enforcers all had solemn expressions.

Spacetime turbulence is a special energy that occurs when various spatial planes inside and outside the universe rub against each other, collide, or even when parallel spaces are crushed by each other, resulting in the overlap of time and space.

These energies accumulate and fuse under special circumstances, and after a long period of time, they continuously absorb external time and space forces, eventually forming terrifying spacetime turbulence.

It possesses extremely powerful destructive force and a rather high energy level. Neither the material world nor the spiritual energy plane of the divine realm can escape the invasion of spacetime turbulence. In fact, the divine realm fears this spacetime turbulence even more than the material world.

The God Realm in the Douluo Universe is a plane composed of spirit and energy created by mental power. Most of the gods living in it only condense their divine bodies with their divine souls as the core. Rather than the God Realm, it is more like the Ghost and God Realm. The laws of material entities are very weak, which is the biggest weakness of the God Realm.

The material planes controlled by the divine realm, whether they are planetary worlds dominated by planets or various wondrous planes such as those with a flat earth and a round sky, mostly possess material entities and have their own complete laws governing time and space.

When spacetime turbulence passes through these planes, it causes strong interference, but at most it causes these planes to deviate from their original trajectory. Even if it causes actual natural disasters, at most it will only result in the death or injury of some living beings on the plane, and the entire plane can still be preserved.

The God Realm in the Douluo Universe does not have a physical existence. It is a special space formed by the mental power of various planes. It does not have a pure concept of time and space, and it is far less stable than a planet.

The Douluo God Realm may seem to be above all other planes, but when faced with a spacetime storm of higher energy level, they, lacking 'mass', are less resistant than those of the material plane. They can only rely on consuming the mental power of the God Realm to support the magic array and withstand the storm. If things go wrong, the God Realm will collapse.

Of course, spacetime turbulence is nothing to powerhouses at the level of the five giants; they could survive even if the God Realm were to collapse. But ultimately, the God Realm is still their 'home,' the place where they entrust their divine positions, and they would never abandon it unless absolutely necessary.

The benevolent God-King gazed at the gray, spacetime storm and said in a deep voice, "The spacetime turbulence a million years ago destroyed a third of the God Realm, and the scale of that spacetime turbulence was not even a quarter of this one."

The evil god-king encouraged them, saying, "Although the Dragon God's Rebellion has caused many gods to perish over the past million years, the divine power of the divine realm has been accumulating. If all the gods work together, there is still a chance to overcome this calamity."

Chapter 618 The Golden Dragon King Appears

"Let's go back."

After a brief discussion, the five giants made a decision: all five gods transformed into rainbow light and quickly returned to the temple at the top of the Divine Realm Committee.

The benevolent god-king pointed his right hand in the air, and a golden halo spread out, causing a cylindrical platform to rise from the ground.

A golden key shaped like an eight-pointed star shimmered in the palm of the Kind God-King. A soft, noble golden light shimmered and spread. Rings of light appeared behind the Kind God-King's head, nine rings overlapping to form the halo of his supreme divine power.

With a slight movement of her left hand, boundless divine power rapidly condensed, causing the air in front of her to distort slightly. Golden rays of light converged from all directions, tracing arcs before finally solidifying into a small hexagonal golden crystal.

This is the divine emblem possessed only by the five supreme beings of the divine realm, representing the highest status in the divine realm. The Kind God-King inserted the emblem into the golden key, and the emblem was embedded in the key-shaped central core of the divine realm, instantly turning the key a purplish-gold color.

The moment the purplish-gold rippled outwards, the entire divine realm seemed to tremble, and a soft hum followed.

"Central Hub of the Divine Realm, open with my will!"

With a soft shout, the Kind God King unleashed a layer of purplish-gold light before her, transforming into a circular purplish-gold light screen that expanded outwards, with various colored specks of light shimmering slightly on it.

The benevolent god-king's finger flashed across the circular purple-gold light screen. In a short while, purple-gold dots appeared on the screen, and the purple-gold light pillar that rose from the God Realm Committee quickly separated into beams of purple-gold light, shooting off into the distance.

Through the central hub of the divine realm, any ruler can control the divine realm. Precisely because its power is so astounding, the central hub is only necessary when the divine realm faces a major crisis.

As the purple-gold beams of light separated out one by one, purple-gold dots of light began to appear rapidly on the circular light screen.

These thoughts and energy from the human realm will gradually transform into energy absorbed by the gods for their cultivation, supplying the needs of the divine realm. However, as time goes by, the gods in the divine realm cannot absorb so much of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and the excess thoughts and energy are stored by the divine realm.

Faced with the crisis brought about by the spacetime turbulence, the benevolent god-king could only use the mental power stored in the divine realm to reinforce the defensive formation, hoping to withstand the outbreak of the spacetime turbulence.

A constant buzzing vibration resounded, this time the vibration was noticeably stronger and more frequent, indicating that the spacetime turbulence was one step closer to the realm of gods.

The spacetime turbulence that was once just a small gray dot in the distance has grown much larger, and all the gods can clearly see its appearance. It looks like a gray cloud, flying rapidly towards the divine realm.

A spacetime turbulence is coming!

At this moment, even the five giants couldn't help but feel nervous. As the supreme gods of the divine realm, their relationship with the divine realm was far closer than that of ordinary gods.

Five incredibly powerful divine thoughts simultaneously poured into the central core of the divine realm, and the supreme divine power within their bodies surged forth.

A powerful, holy golden light bathed the entire interior of the Divine Realm Council in its golden hue. This immense power remained dormant, silently awaiting the arrival of calamity.

The spacetime turbulence is getting closer and closer. In its full form, it is a huge gray cloud that is constantly rotating at high speed. At the core of the cloud, a faint gray light is constantly flashing.

At the center of the spacetime turbulence lies the most powerfully compressed spacetime force, possessing the immense power to reverse the course of events. This spacetime turbulence is nearly one hundred kilometers in diameter, and the energy contained within it is unprecedentedly terrifying.

As it flew by, one could vaguely see the stars retreating, even the many stars that represent the sun appeared dim.
