Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Hades, the god of the underworld, couldn't help but roar, "Lucifer, do you want to rebel? Have you forgotten who took you in when you were being hunted down by the gods?"

Lucifer's six black wings flapped gently behind him, and his pure black eyes shot out cold light as he said in a deep voice, "Lord Hades, of course I have not forgotten your kindness to me, but Theomandis is my brother."

After he teleported me to the underworld, I lost all contact with him. Now that I've finally sensed his divine consciousness, if I don't go to the human realm to find him and those bastards in the divine realm find him first, he's finished. Please let me go.”

Hades smiled slightly, “I never thought that the usually calm and wise fallen angel Lucifer would also be anxious and lose his composure. Don’t you think the King of Gods would just let Gabriel and the others go to the human world?”

Lucifer, there are only two possibilities regarding Theomandis's situation just now. If Theomandis's consciousness dissipated last, even if you went, it wouldn't be of any use. If he's still alive, then it won't be long before the Mad God returns to the realms of gods and the underworld. At that time, are you still afraid of not seeing your brother again?"

After listening to Hades' words, Lucifer gradually calmed down. Although he was still somewhat unwilling, he understood that since he could not defeat Hades, he could not get permission to enter the human world, and he could only accept this result.

……

In the Jin Yuan Continent of the human realm, within the Mad God Cave of White Smoke Mountain, as the golden light gradually dissipated, Lei Xiang completed the divine succession and became the second-generation Mad God. Theomandis's divine soul became even darker after undergoing this ritual and could dissipate at any moment.

After giving his final words to Lei Xiang, he looked at Yan and said, "I sensed that a powerful figure has sealed off this place. I can't use my remaining abilities to help Lei Xiang and the others teleport out, so I'm entrusting it to you."

"Don't worry! They can't hurt Lei Xiang."

Yan looked at Theomandis, who was about to fall into eternal slumber, and simply nodded. Although he knew that there was still a possibility of him being resurrected, Yan's feelings were still quite complicated as he watched such a god head towards the end of his twilight years.

"Alright, Philyunna, I've come to find you..."

A relieved smile appeared on Theomandis's illusory face. Then, his entire figure turned into specks of light and disappeared in front of Lei Xiang. Lei Xiang's heart was also complicated. He was a sentimental person. At this moment, he couldn't help but kneel down, kowtow, and burst into tears.

Beside Yan, Mo Yue witnessed everything. Hearing Theomandis recount his tragic story with Philyunna and watching the mad god fall, she felt very sad.

Yan casually set up a barrier to conceal his and Mo Yue's presence, and then led the greatly enhanced Mo Yue out of the cave.

"This is... such a powerful formation."

As soon as Yan and Moyue stepped out of the cave, the first thing they saw was a white light curtain enveloping the entire White Smoke Mountain. The sacred aura was awe-inspiring and inviolable, which made Moyue, who had just advanced to the realm of a four-winged fallen angel, feel fear.

"Light Protection Barrier, a very interesting spell, break..."

Yan looked up and glanced at it with interest for a few moments, then said something softly. Strange fluctuations suddenly rippled in the air, and a sound like breaking glass was heard. The light curtain covering White Smoke Mountain was shattered, and more than ten huge flying dragons descended from the sky.

"Who are you? Why are you in this cave?"

The entire Holy Dragon Knights arrived, with Tianyun, Lifeng, and Yue Wuya standing at the forefront. Lifeng looked at the unfamiliar man and woman before him. Although their faces were obscured by a strange radiance, he was certain that this was not the man and two beasts who had broken into the cave. This unexpected situation naturally shocked him.

Yan Pingdan's voice rang out in this space, "Who I am is not important. What is important is that your act of sealing off this place has greatly displeased the owner of this place. He has ordered me to get rid of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng angrily shouted, "Arrogant fool, how dare you speak so shamelessly! White Smoke Mountain is the territory of the Empire, how can it have any other master?"

Tianyun raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said gently, "Your Excellency, we mean no harm. I know a little about the owner of this place that you mentioned, but I wonder if we could ask that newly promoted deity to come out and meet us."

Tianyun could sense that Yan did not possess the same multicolored glow and divine radiance as before. Based on the meaning behind his words, Tianyun deduced that Yan was not the successor of the Mad God, and that the person he most wanted to communicate with now was the newly promoted future first-level god.

"He has no interest in seeing you, you'd better leave now!"

Yan spoke calmly and firmly, his meaning clear and simple: all the Holy Dragon Knights should leave.

Tianyun frowned and continued, "I'm afraid that's beyond your control. We must see the person in the cave today."

Do you think I'm discussing this with you?!

As Yan spoke, he raised his right hand and clenched it, and a strange wave swept out. Incomparably beautiful blue-purple light instantly swept over everything in the area, and the strong spatial-temporal fluctuations pulled all living beings in the area into the distorted space.

"Oh no, quick!"

Tianyun's reaction was already considered fast, but including him and his elder Bailong Baiguang, the seventeen powerful dragon knights still disappeared on the spot without any power to resist.

"Fourth brother, hurry up and come out, there's no one here..."

Shortly after Yan teleported everyone away, a probing voice came from inside the cave, followed by the appearance of the Hydra, the Two-Headed Wolf, and Lei Xiang.

"Let's go quickly."

They cautiously searched the area and confirmed that there were only some ordinary dragon knights around, while the Holy Dragon Knights were nowhere to be found. Although they didn't know what was going on, the three of them couldn't let this opportunity slip by, so they immediately took off running and fled from White Smoke Mountain.

……

“You don’t need to look anymore. It’s still in Baiyan Mountain, but this is at the foot of Baiyan Mountain. About two years ago, a battle took place here. I was here at the time, so I have some impression of it and set the spatial coordinates here.”

At the foot of White Smoke Mountain, outside the city of Quess, at the site of the battlefield where Lei Xiang once slaughtered the soldiers of Quess City, dozens of figures suddenly appeared. The seventeen dragon knights looked around in shock, while Yan's voice rang out from a small hill below.

Tianyun now understood that Yan's strength was probably far beyond his imagination, so he lowered his tone and asked, "Your abilities are truly astonishing. Are you the guardian of the legacy of the Mad God?"

“You don’t need to test me. I’m not that familiar with Theomandis. I only agreed to help him because I received a favor from him. As for why I’m in the cave, I can only say that I arrived earlier than you all. I came looking for you when the colorful glow of dawn had just appeared.”

Yan's words left the Holy Dragon Knights bewildered, their doubts clearing up while simultaneously raising even greater questions, such as about Yan's identity. At that moment, Yan spoke again, "Alright, you can stay here for a while."

God's Arrival

"I promised Theomandis I'd help his successor leave safely, so I have to take responsibility. Whatever your intentions, he definitely doesn't want to have any contact with you right now."

After hearing Yan's words, Tianyun's expression turned somewhat grim. His teacher was one of the leaders of the wingless gods in the celestial realm, while the Mad God was the leader of the wingless gods. Having finally discovered the appearance of the Mad God's successor in the lower realm, he was naturally unwilling to let this successor go.

Furthermore, this matter also concerns the stability of the human realm. The rise of the Mad God's successor will inevitably change the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the human realm. He also had a selfish thought: to make contact with the other party first, and ideally guide him onto the right path, so as not to affect the rule of the Dragon God Empire.

"Your Excellency, this matter is not open to discussion."

Tianyun spoke softly. He was unwilling to fight such a mysterious and powerful figure, but the matter of the Mad God was of great importance, and he had to take action.

"You can give it a try."

Yan's calm reply made Tianyun frown, and also annoyed the members of the Holy Dragon Knights. Li Feng, who was holding back his anger, was the first to lose his temper.

Chapter 659 Annihilation of the Holy Dragon

At the foot of White Smoke Mountain, Tianyun, the leader of the Holy Dragon Knights, tried to communicate with Yan several times without success. Yan's attitude finally angered the other members of the Holy Dragon Knights, and the Wind-Extinguishing War God Lifeng was the first to rush out.

He spread his arms in mid-air, each hand drawing an arc in the air. With a strange turn of his body, a cyan spiral of battle aura shot straight down.

This top human expert, who became famous a hundred years ago, may have a bad temper, but his strength is beyond doubt. A light blue wind-attribute energy shot down in a cone shape as he spun wildly.

The pale blue energy arrow continued to gather more energy in the air, but its total volume kept getting smaller and smaller. When the unstoppable blue light touched Yan, its volume was less than one-third of what it was at the beginning.

The pale blue blade struck Yan's body accurately, but Li Feng revealed a solemn expression. His whole body shone with a bright blue light, emitting an even more intense battle aura. The whistling wind and sharp blades instantly shredded the area where Yan and Mo Yue were located into dust like raindrops.

"I was too lazy to do it in the first place, but you're forcing me!"

Yan's voice came from another direction. In an instant, the ground beneath Li Feng's feet shattered and rocks flew up, the earth dragon tumbled, and a crack quickly appeared, as if a terrifying abyss maw was about to swallow Li Feng.

Li Feng could feel his body sink, realizing it was a technique similar to the earth's gravity. He quickly circulated his internal fighting spirit, drawing out the maximum wind attribute energy, and frantically poured it into the earth below.

Two colors, light blue and earthy yellow, appeared beneath Li Feng's feet. The two energies collided without making a sound. The light blue battle qi shot down like endless water from the heavens, while the massive earthy yellow maw below continued to grow wildly, devouring all the energy within it.

The explosion of cyan and yellow light grew increasingly intense, and Li Feng's figure was beginning to falter under the prolonged suspension. However, he remained calm in the face of danger, and with a sway of his body, he split into three Li Fengs.

Three sharp beams of azure light shot out from the three hands of Li Feng, striking the edge of the expanding earthen abyss one after another. After three consecutive explosive impacts, the expansion speed of the abyss's gaping maw suddenly slowed down, and Li Feng took the opportunity to escape successfully.

He flipped in mid-air and landed before the dragon elder Qinglin who had come to meet him. After finally landing, he felt a surge of blood and qi, and secretly marveled at his skill. However, he still spoke disrespectfully, "So it was you who made the move that day. You really are colluding with the demons."

Li Feng recognized that Yan Fang's move was very similar to the mysterious person who had rescued Gu Chuan and the others that day. Li Feng considered this a disgrace and had never forgotten it.

Moreover, not only were Lei Xiang and Gu Chuan rescued that day, but two severely injured and dying fallen angels also disappeared. This person was clearly related to the demon race.

"Who do you think you are, to have the right to tell me how to act?"

Yan's attitude angered all the members of the Holy Dragon Knights, especially Li Feng. However, before they could get angry, earth dragons formed from mud and rocks shot into the sky, their target being Li Feng and Qing Lin, who had broken away from the group.

"A gentle breeze drifts away."

As Li Feng rapidly retreated through the green forest, he unleashed his battle aura, sending a blue meteor hurtling towards several mud and rock dragons. The moment the two energies collided, Tian Yun's expression changed, and he quickly uttered a long string of incantations.

The light-based protective shield shone brightly, but Tianyun showed no joy. Instead, he urgently said to Lifeng, "Third brother, go all out, or you won't be able to withstand it."

Li Feng trusted Tian Yun the most, and without hesitation, he unleashed all his power. His entire body glowed with a blue light that seemed to burn like flames. His body seemed to have grown much larger, and the surrounding air currents seemed to have solidified, slowly rotating as Li Feng's hands gradually moved.

"Extinguish Wind Breaker!"

! ”

Li Feng's expression was grim. Before more mud and rock dragons could get close, he suddenly twisted his body and transformed into a ball of cyan light.

The yellow and blue lights collided in an instant, causing the defensive barrier set up by the clouds to vibrate continuously, and a dazzling ball of light appeared in the sky once again. The two blue figures were ultimately thrown out and fled in a sorry state, the aftershocks of the explosion shooting straight into the sky and breaking through the clouds.

"Third brother, are you alright?"

Yue Wuya finally found an opportunity to help Li Feng, but Li Feng, who had acted on his own, was in extremely bad condition. His clothes were completely gone, and his body was covered with bloody, fragmented wounds. He was sitting on Qing Lin's back, panting heavily.

The dragon elder Qinglin beneath him also had countless tiny wounds on his body, from which blood flowed. However, thanks to the protection of his dragon scales, he did not end up looking like a terrifying pool of blood.

Tianyun also came to Li Feng's side, his face full of pain. He and Yue Wuya failed to stop Li Feng in time, and were worried that the dozen or so juniors at the Sword Saint level would be drawn into the battle, so they dared not make a move and cause a bigger commotion, which is why Li Feng was so badly injured.

"Big brother, second brother, I'm fine, I won't die."

Li Feng, however, stood up with an indifferent expression and rejoined the ranks of the Holy Dragon Knights. Tian Yun looked at the huge vortex that appeared on the ground, his face naturally full of solemnity.

"All members of the Holy Dragon Knights, heed my command! Deploy the Dragon Star Rain Formation! Your Excellency, my third brother acted impulsively. Shall we leave it at that?"

Tianyun originally didn't want to have a conflict with Yan, so he kept being tolerant in his words. However, he didn't expect that Li Feng, with his fiery temper, would lose his temper and take action first. Then, Yan seemed to have no intention of letting it go. Under these circumstances, he couldn't even try to settle things peacefully.

"If you say it's over, I'll lose face. I gave you chances, but you didn't know how to cherish them. Now that we've started, I'll decide when to stop."

Yan's voice came from all directions. Tianyun couldn't tell where Yan and Moyue were at this moment. This was the reason why he didn't dare to act rashly before. No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't attack your opponent. However, he had no choice now.

Earth dragons rolled across the land, and more than a thousand earth dragons formed a chaotic dragon dance formation that rose into the sky, completely surrounding all members of the Holy Dragon Knights. The intense energy wave field greatly affected the power of heaven and earth that they controlled.

"The Star Dragon Rain Shakes the Heavens and Earth."

With a shout from Tianyun, all the members of the Holy Dragon Knights formed a circle around him. Elder Baiguang let out a long chant, and Tianyun emitted a dazzling white light.

"That's an interesting move, but if you think you can beat me with that, you're oversimplifying things."

As Yan spoke, he manipulated countless dragon shadows in the sky and on the earth to rush towards the Holy Dragon Knights. Hundreds of earth dragons swirled and danced wildly, drawing in the power of the earth to pull the entire Holy Dragon Knights downwards.

"rush!

! ”

With a sharp whistle, Tianyun propelled a white light soaring into the sky. All the members of the Holy Dragon Knights followed closely behind, their bodies radiating an unusual light. They formed a giant, colorful cone in the air, with Tianyun at its tip, and crashed violently into the countless earth dragons above. The massive energy fluctuations caused the air currents to twist in an unusual way.

"In the face of absolute power, all your fancy tricks are useless."

Hundreds of mud and rock dragons crashed straight into the soaring Holy Dragon Knights. The deafening roar continued, and the giant cone formed by the Star Dragon Rain suddenly exploded, scattering the Holy Dragon Knights members and their mounts in all directions, creating a shower of blood.

At least ten dragons were severely damaged, and all members of the Holy Dragon Knights and their mounts fell rapidly to the ground, their fates unknown.

With a deafening roar, more than ten figures descended swiftly. One by one, the dragon knights and their dragons were swallowed up by the swirling vortex of the earth, leaving only their heads outside to breathe.

The last few figures that fell were barely able to maintain their form, but under Tianyun's guidance, they too fell into the earthen vortex below, their forms swallowed up by the gentle, swampy ground.

"Pfft~~~"
