Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

White Smoke Mountain is an extremely special place. It is a treasure land that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to produce Earth Core Stone Milk. You should know that this kind of natural treasure called Spirit Void Stone Milk has a great effect even on gods.

In addition, the Mad God Theomandis fell here thousands of years ago with his Mad God Armor. Under his conscious control, the speed at which the White Smoke Mountain Cave condenses the Spirit Void Stone Milk increased significantly, accumulating a large amount of pure energy, which is prepared for nurturing the second-generation Mad God.

What Yan is doing now is trying to use his divine power to communicate with the veins of White Smoke Mountain in an attempt to obtain more Spirit Void Stone Milk.

This was certainly a provocation against Theomandis, but the first-level deity tacitly approved of Yan's actions, merely using his own special divine power to stop him, though the force of the obstruction was not great.

Their divine lights each occupied a portion of the cave, as if they were engaged in a tug-of-war. The intertwining of their divine lights resembled a complex game of chess, somewhat like a philosophical discussion, which could be considered a unique form of communication and progress.

"Ok?"

Mo Yue suddenly noticed that Yan had stopped urging the divine power of fire and turned to look outside the cave, as if something had changed in the outside world.

Mo Yue's heart stirred, and she asked Yan, "Master, what happened outside?"

Yan Ping replied calmly, "Lei Xiang is here, and so are some people from your demon race. The one leading them is a four-winged fallen angel."

Mo Yue's reaction to Lei Xiang's arrival wasn't too strong, but upon hearing that a powerful demon had come, she couldn't help but stand up. "Master, are the Holy Dragon Knights still outside? Are they in danger?"

Mo Yue was not entirely unaware of the situation outside. During the time Yan was cultivating in Baiyan Mountain, Yan would occasionally scan the outside world with his divine sense and tell Mo Yue a lot about the situation outside.

After Yan and Moyue entered the cave, the strange phenomena emanating from it quickly attracted the arrival of dragon knights. After failing to break into the cave, the dragon knights reported the incident, which alarmed the royal family and later attracted the attention of the Holy Dragon Knights, the strongest force in the Dragon God Empire.

Compared to demons and orcs, the humans of the Jin Yuan Continent are indeed blessed with unique advantages.

Among demon cultivators, the Fallen Angel lineage is considered the strongest, but few cultivators of this lineage live past a hundred years. Other types of mages and warriors also rarely live long due to their cold and sinister power. It can be said that the four-winged Fallen Angel represents the upper limit of the demon race's strength.

Orcs are somewhat inferior to demons because of their lack of unity. They mostly rely on brute force and have few inherited cultivation techniques. Only a few powerful royal families with ancient bloodlines can cultivate to a high level, such as the Behemoth King lineage, the Two-Headed Wolf, and the Hydra.

Most of these ancient bloodlines lose their ancestral qualities over time, and few are able to reach the pinnacle of human potential. The Behemoth lineage is considered to have potential, but its royal members also have short lifespans, with very few living past one hundred years old.

Compared to demons and orcs, humans have a lower skill floor, but their numbers are considerable, making it easier for geniuses to emerge. Moreover, their cultivation system is well-developed, with a higher skill ceiling. Each generation produces a stable number of sword saints, which is basically the upper limit of cultivation for demons and orcs.

However, once a human cultivates to the level of Sword Saint, their vitality will increase significantly. Mid-level Sword Saint Dragon Knights can live to be nearly two hundred years old, but they will generally not be active in the Dragon God Empire for more than a hundred years. Instead, most of them will retire after the age of eighty and join the Holy Dragon Knight Order.

This system originated from the third emperor of the Dragon God Empire. Because of the warning from the Celestial Gods, humanity dared not unify the continent and could only maintain the existing situation. Therefore, the number of Sword Saints who could easily disrupt the high-level battles on the continent in each generation had to be hidden away.

The Holy Dragon Knights are the strongest organization among them. They are all composed of retired dragon knights. Their lifespan of at least two hundred years, coupled with ample time for cultivation after retirement, allows them to improve their cultivation.

This generation of the Holy Light Knights consists of seventeen members, the oldest being over 170 years old. Each of them is stronger than the three current marshals of the Dragon God, possessing at least the cultivation of a high-ranking sword saint. The three strongest warriors who rose to fame a century ago even possess the pinnacle of the War God realm.

Yan didn't care about the Holy Light Knights, but their current actions posed a deadly threat to Lei Xiang and the powerful demons who had infiltrated the area. Mo Yue, having learned many secrets from Yan, knew very well that the Holy Dragon Knights were not something the demons could contend with.

However, the powerful demons have already infiltrated White Smoke Mountain, and it's only a matter of time before they run into the Holy Dragon Knights. Although the Holy Dragon Knights don't actively attack the demons and orcs, they won't show any mercy once their secret is exposed.

There are only two four-winged fallen angels in the entire demon race. One is her father, the Demon Emperor, whose current strength is unknown. The other is Gu Chuan, the leader of the Fallen Angels Battle Group. If anything happens to either of them, it will cause turmoil in the demon race.

Mo Yue absolutely did not want this to happen, but she was powerless to stop it, so she could only look at Yan with pitiful eyes.

Let's go take a look!

Yan felt a little guilty under Mo Yue's gaze. He had been cultivating lately, hadn't touched her, and hadn't made any promises, so why was he feeling guilty?

Yan and Moyue walked out of the cave, while at that moment, a chase was underway in the mountain hollow where the cave entrance was located.

Three colossal dragons soared through the sky, pursuing two frantically fleeing black figures. These three dragons were white, yellow, and blue, and were much larger than the dragons of ordinary dragon knights, almost twice the size of a normal dragon.

The azure dragon among them was particularly eye-catching. Not only was it the largest in size, but it also had an extra, slightly curved horn on its head. Its scales shimmered with a layer of light, making it look exceptionally beautiful and powerful. It was one of the legendary elders of the dragon clan.

These three incredibly powerful dragon knights were naturally members of the Holy Dragon Knights Order of the Dragon God Empire, while their pursuers, each exuding a strong dark aura, were all winged dark beings with long wings, naturally fallen angels of the demon race.

At this moment, these renowned demon powerhouses on the Jin Yuan Continent were fleeing for their lives in a panic. Two fallen angels lay at the entrance of a cave in the mountain valley, barely clinging to life and clearly beyond saving.

The other two who were still on the run were a man with four pairs of black wings and a two-winged angel whose wings were blood red. However, the dark aura surrounding him was not much weaker than that of the four-winged fallen angel. The two of them together were barely able to escape.

"The four-winged angel of the demon race is not very strong, but we cannot let this mutated fellow go. With just two wings, he has strength close to ours. If we let him go, he will become a great threat."

The three dragon knights in the sky kept their eyes fixed on the two fleeing black shadows, especially the black shadow emitting a red glow, which was their main target.

Lei Xiang and Gu Chuan, who were being chased below, were also in a very difficult situation, but they couldn't win the fight, so they could only run away.

They had tried to resist; Gu Chuan had immediately realized the terrifying strength of these people upon entering the mountain valley and had attempted to fight back. The difference between a mid-level and high-level Sword Saint wasn't actually that great; if there was only one, he wasn't without a fighting chance.

However, there were three opponents, the strongest of whom was a war god who had become famous a hundred years ago. His two subordinates were easily defeated. If Lei Xiang hadn't suddenly come to their aid and caught the three off guard, Gu Chuan would have been dead as well.

"These three guys are terrifyingly strong!"

Lei Xiang's injuries were less severe. He used the magical connection between the fallen angels and borrowed Furukawa's magic to increase his speed while helping the latter heal. However, he also found the three relentless dragon knights to be extremely troublesome.

On Lei Xiang's back, Gu Chuan was not releasing dark light spheres to block the pursuers, but also keeping a close eye on the sky and exchanging information with Lei Xiang. "The most troublesome of these three is Li Feng, who became famous a hundred years ago."

Back then, he, Yue Wuyai, and Tian Yun, Tian Gang's father, suppressed all the powerful figures of our Demon Clan and Beast Clan of that generation. I never expected that they would still be alive.

Of the three, Tianyun is the most terrifying. He is the first and only dragon mage in history. He was able to gain the Dragon King's approval through magic, so his strength is unimaginable.

I once heard my elders say that Tianyun once used a light-based magic spell to heal more than 100,000 wounded soldiers of the Dragon God Empire on the battlefield…”

"Dragon Mage Tianyun, I feel like I've heard that name before?"

While flying at high speed, Lei Xiang suddenly had a thought. After recalling for a long time, he remembered something. He had followed Leo and the Shadow Mage to eliminate a necromancer hiding in the Orc Empire and handed over his relics to Yan.

The necromancer who died had most of his power taken away by the flames, but he still almost caused great damage to the orc empire. Before he died, the necromancer named Tianlu said some things to him, including mentioning that the dragon mage Tianyun was Tianlu's younger brother.

"This is troublesome. I don't know if Tianlu's matter will be of any use."

Lei Xiang was already considering whether to use Tianlu's matter to buy some time. At this moment, the three dragon knights in the sky got much closer. Suddenly, the earth trembled violently, and an earth dragon shot out of the ground and blocked the three dragon knights.

"Who goes there!"

The sudden appearance of the earth dragon caught the three off guard. Seeing Lei Xiang and Gu Chuan disappear under its cover, Li Feng, unable to swallow his anger, unleashed a powerful burst of fighting spirit.

A surge of azure light erupted, tearing the earth dragon blocking its path to shreds with the violent energy. However, the sword-shaped energy he unleashed also shattered instantly, sending the three dragon knights flying back.

"Oh no, Uncle Li, those two fallen angels have also disappeared."

The knight in white armor beside Li Feng suddenly noticed that the two fallen angels who had been lying dead at the entrance of the mountain pass had also disappeared, and immediately reported this to Li Feng.

"Does the demon race have hidden powerful figures?"

Li Feng's heart skipped a beat as he considered the worst-case scenario. After a moment, he angrily issued an order, "All dragon knights, listen up! Immediately search the entire White Smoke Mountain and find the hidden fallen angel. Once you find one, send out a signal immediately."

Chapter 656 Lei Xiang Enters the Cave

Within White Smoke Mountain, with the appearance of traces of fallen angels, the dragon knights intensified their patrols and tightened the mountain pass where the Mad God's Cave was located. However, their actions greatly displeased some of the treasure hunters who came to search for treasure.

Most of those who came to search for treasure were from the Dragon God Empire. They came from all over the empire, surely hoping to gain something. Now that the Dragon Knight Legion has mobilized a large army to block the entrance, isn't that just to monopolize the treasure? Of course, many who are confident in their strength are unwilling to accept this.

Their unwillingness to give up gave Lei Xiang, who was hiding in the shadows, an opportunity. After he and Gu Chuan escaped last time, Gu Chuan chose to return directly to the Demon Clan, but he did not escape back to the Beastman Empire. Instead, after reuniting with the Two-Headed Dragon and the Hydra, he prepared to try again.

The reason he took such a risk was because a treasure he had obtained by chance before made him certain that the good thing about to emerge from White Smoke Mountain was destined for him.

When Lei Xiang entered the Dragon God Empire this time, he went to Xilun City to participate in the exchange competition of the four major academies of the Dragon God Empire.

During this exchange competition, Lei Xiang had a match with Feng Dongtian, a local nobleman from Xilun City. The latter was impressed by Lei Xiang's profound mastery of dark magic and opened his family treasury to Lei Xiang in order to get a chance to guide him. Lei Xiang obtained a strange heart-protecting mirror from it.

This protective mirror seemed to resonate with Lei Xiang's Berserker Battle Qi, and it reacted several times when he approached White Smoke Mountain, making Lei Xiang's Berserker Battle Qi even more active. This naturally strengthened his resolve to challenge White Smoke Mountain.

"Fourth brother, are you alright?"

Deep within the chaotic White Smoke Mountain, as Lei Xiang, the two-headed wolf, and the hydra landed near the cave entrance, a strange change suddenly occurred. A bright crimson-gold light burst forth from Lei Xiang's chest, naturally attracting the attention of many. The two-headed wolf and the hydra beside him looked at him with concern.

Three resounding dragon roars echoed from the mountain peak where the multicolored glow appeared. One was green, one was white, and one was yellow. Three figures soared into the air. The three dragon knights of the Holy Dragon Knights finally made their move, flying towards the direction where Lei Xiang and the others were hiding like lightning.

The colorful rays of light in the sky suddenly changed. The rays of light, which were originally rising vertically, suddenly twisted and formed a parabola in the air before rushing straight toward Lei Xiang, which was emitting golden light.

"Let's go quickly."

Lei Xiang was initially in despair, thinking that he and his companions might be brutally killed by the three dragon knights, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and he excitedly called on the two-headed wolf and the hydra to rush towards the rosy light.

The three dragon knights in the sky also sensed something was wrong. The War God Realm expert Li Feng urged the dragon elder Qing Lin to accelerate suddenly, intending to block Lei Xiang's advance.

However, he was still a step too slow. The golden light emanating from Lei Xiang came into contact with the multicolored glow first, and Lei Xiang's entire body was instantly dyed the same color as the multicolored glow. At this moment, the multicolored light suddenly expanded, encompassing Lei Xiang, the two-headed wolf Jin Yin, and the nine-headed serpent Pan Zong.

"Don't go."

With a loud shout, Li Feng hurled his dragon spear, which transformed into a streak of azure light. The spear flew through the air, striking Lei Xiang directly.

But just as the azure dragon spear pierced through the multicolored light for three feet, it suddenly stopped, and a violent friction sound emanated from the air. No matter how the fierce wind urged it forward, the dragon spear could not advance any further.

Suddenly, the multicolored light intensified, and the dragon spear that Li Feng had unleashed, along with Li Feng, the dragon elder Qing Lin, and the two dragon knights who had followed him, Tian Gang and Song Ren, and their mounts, were all thrown away by this powerful force.

The multicolored light suddenly faded, and Lei Xiang, Pan Zong, and Jin Yin's bodies gradually floated towards the earth, following the trajectory of the multicolored light into the cave entrance.

……

On the back of Elder Qinglin, Li Feng was panting heavily as he adjusted his condition. Just now, the three dragon knights had tried to unleash a devastating attack together to stop the convergence of the multicolored light, but they had ultimately failed.

He single-handedly withstood the backlash from the collision with the multicolored light, preventing Tian Gang, Song Ren, and the three-headed dragon from being injured, but inevitably causing this powerful warrior of the War God realm to suffer severe damage.

"Tian Gang".

Li Feng stared intently at the entrance, whose light had already dimmed, his eyes burning with a fury that seemed capable of incinerating the entire White Smoke Mountain Range. Tian Gang and Song Ren, sensing the murderous aura emanating from him, stood silently on either side, reacting immediately upon hearing his call.

"Uncle Li, what are your orders?"

Just as Tian bowed his head in response, he saw Li Feng take off his helmet and toss it to him. "Take this and go back to headquarters to find your father. Tell him to bring everyone here... The ones who entered the cave are two strange beasts and a human. We must eliminate them at all costs..."

Li Feng's voice was devoid of any emotion. Tian Gang and Song Ren, who knew him well, knew that he was currently at the peak of his rage.

Tian hesitated for a moment, unsure of his true feelings, and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, what do you mean...?"

"Star Dragon Rain".

Li Feng glanced at him coldly and uttered a term that surprised Tian Gang and Song Ren. These three words represented the ultimate destructive power, which required the combined efforts of all members of the Holy Dragon Knights to unleash. Its power was enough to destroy the White Smoke Mountains.

Since the Star Dragon Rain technique was developed by Tian Gang's father, the Guardian of Light, Tian Yun, it has never been truly used.

……

Just as the three members of the Holy Dragon Knights outside the cave were furious about Lei Xiang and the others entering the cave, Yan and Mo Yue inside the Mad God Cave clearly sensed the changes in the cave.

"stop!"

A golden light blew in from the cave entrance, accompanied by three figures: Lei Xiang, Pan Zong, and Jin Yin. However, they immediately fainted upon entering the cave and failed to notice Yan Mo Yue deep inside.

"Winter~~~"

After hovering in the air for a moment, the brilliant golden light collided with the dark armor at the deepest part of the cave, embedding itself into the missing breastplate.

In an instant, the entire cave was covered in golden light. The intense light almost changed the appearance of the cave. However, this continuously radiating holy golden light did not last long. As the light gradually subsided, the dark armor returned to calm.

But Yan, who had been observing, discovered that this suit of armor seemed to have undergone an extremely unusual change, as if it had gained some spirituality.

"stop!"
