Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Lei Xiang unleashed all his energy and rushed towards Lar. His golden-red body clashed repeatedly with the white light emitted by Lar. Although the white light was very powerful, it was forced to retreat under Lei Xiang's all-out attack.

Lar's eyes shone brightly as he calmly watched Lei Xiang approach, saying, "I didn't expect you to have such abilities. It seems I really underestimated you. Go."

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in Lar's eyes, and a complex golden symbol flashed and disappeared between his eyebrows.

Lei Xiang felt an irresistible force rushing towards him. He could no longer use the Mad God Technique's Mad Reincarnation. His body was blasted away, but the Mad God Armor on his body shone brightly, blocking most of the impact.

However, Lei Xiang still couldn't hold back the gushing blood. His body lurched upwards before plummeting straight down. In that moment, he finally came to his senses and accepted the blow of his inferiority.

"Fourth."

Seeing Lei Xiang defeated, the two-headed wolf Jin Yin and the nine-headed serpent Pan Zong rushed forward to catch him. Lei Xiang's meridians were cracked due to excessive exertion, and blood was seeping from his skin, making him look like he was bleeding all over. This miserable appearance naturally made Pan Zong and Jin Yin extremely angry.

Lars drifted past nonchalantly, frowning as he looked at Lei Xiang. Pan Zong, in a fit of rage, was about to rush forward and fight Lars to the death, but was fortunately pulled back by Lei Xiang.

"Pfft... Big brother, don't be impulsive."

Lei Xiang's injuries worsened from pulling Pan Zong, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood. But at this moment, he had already guessed that La Er was no human powerhouse, so he dared not let Pan Zong rush over and fight La Er.

Lal frowned at Lei Xiang. "Don't worry! I won't kill you. I already know everything I need to know. But I'm very curious why you have the aura of the fallen angel Lucifer on you."

Despite the pain in his body, Lei Xiang said in a deep voice, "What's so strange about that? Every demon who cultivates the Heavenly Demon Technique carries the aura of the fallen angel Lucifer..."

Lall seemed to be pondering something. After a moment, he spoke to Lei Xiang, then turned to look at Yan and Mo Yue, who had been watching the battle from afar, before disappearing from everyone's sight and soaring into the sky.

"Brother, don't chase him. He's probably not a strong person from the human realm."

Lei Xiang recalled some details of his fight with Lal. The fleeting golden rune between Lal's eyebrows reminded him of Theomandis, as well as the exquisite light-attribute magic. This person was likely a powerful figure from the Celestial Realm, which was why he was unwilling to continue the conflict.

The powerful beings of the Celestial Realm have complex relationships with Theomandis. Gabriel is Theomandis's mortal enemy, but according to the former Mad God, the other gods are all deceived. Therefore, the Celestial Realm's current probing actions seem to confirm this statement.

After Lar appeared, Yan kept a low profile and did nothing, nor did he contact Lei Xiang. He just watched Lar teach Lei Xiang a lesson and then leave.

The sudden appearance of a first-level deity in the celestial realm put him on guard. He knew that he was able to make arrangements and plans peacefully because he had not been noticed by the celestial or underworld realms.

These two behemoths are, after all, the two strongest realms in this universe. Once they discover the existence of Yan, this outsider, and realize some of Yan's plans, things will be very bad. He might have no choice but to pack up his bucket and run away.

For now, everything is fine. If he is careful in the future, he can still turn this game around and take advantage of the information gap to continue according to his own ideas.

Lei Xiang was woken up by a beating, Yan pondered the next steps, while Laer returned to the Heavenly Realm after beating up Lei Xiang.

……

In the Heavenly Realm, inside the Palace of the God King.

The gentle voice of God-King Sophia echoed once again in the God-King's Palace, "Raphael, have I completed the task I assigned you?"

The white-robed man, Lar, who had previously bullied the weak and oppressed the weak in the human realm, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Raphael, still dressed in white, now possessed six pristine white wings, and his hair had turned golden. He stood respectfully within the temple, answering the questions posed by God-King Sophia.

Sophia's voice came again, "Your actions weren't discovered by the people of the underworld, were they?"

Raphael replied respectfully, "No, the people of the Underworld were focused on the exercises led by the Archangel Solent and our divine army, and with your full cover-up, this operation should have gone unnoticed by anyone, including our own people."

God-King Sophia said with satisfaction, "That's good. I don't want Hades to find any reason to start a war... We have an absolute advantage in the newcomer war between the gods and the underworld three years from now... Raphael, tell me about your situation in the human world."

Raphael pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, just as you predicted, Theomandis's abilities have indeed been passed down to a human. As for himself, I'm afraid he has already..."

The King of Gods' emotions fluctuated slightly, and he sighed, "Theomandis, you still haven't given up. You're leaving like this, alas... Raphael, please continue."

Raphael continued respectfully, "After searching for some time, I found the human who possessed the aura of Theomandis, and I managed to provoke him and fight him..."

Raphael recounted the entire incident and offered his opinion, believing that Lei Xiang should soon become the new Mad God. He then asked Sophia whether the Celestial Realm should take action ahead of schedule. Sophia remained silent for a long time, and the God King's Palace fell into a deathly silence.

After a long silence, Sofia sighed, "Let it go. After all, we owe Theomandis... Even if he gets all of Theomandis's power, so what? Gabriel's abilities are already superior to Theomandis's; he's nothing to fear..."

Raphael frowned and said again, "But Your Majesty, I also detected Lucifer's aura on that successor. Do you think it's possible?"

Sophia shook her head and said, "It's alright. Lucifer only left a part of his cultivation method in the human realm, which is what they call the Heavenly Demon Technique, the cultivation method of the demon race... Raphael, just make sure that Theomandis's successor isn't dragged over to the underworld..."

Raphael's expression shifted, as if he wanted to say something, but he ultimately remained silent. He bowed respectfully to Sophia and left the Temple of the Gods. Just moments before, Yan's image flashed through his mind, but he refrained from uttering a word.

He mainly felt that this was a minor matter. Although it was strange that an unfamiliar deity appeared in the human realm, it was not a big deal. As a place of interest that both the heavenly realm and the underworld were vying for, the human realm itself had a lot of resources and a high potential, so it was normal for a deity to appear there.

As for why this deity doesn't ascend to the heavens or go to the underworld, that's their prerogative, and the heavens can't interfere right now. However, for some reason, the thought of that unfamiliar deity always makes him uneasy.

However, Raphael didn't think too much about it. The unfamiliar deity was just a newly promoted third-level deity. There were many such beings in the celestial realm, and he didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

What worries him now is the task given to him by the God-King. The God-King's final instruction is to keep a close eye on Gabriel, but this is definitely not an easy task. He still needs to discuss it with the other archangels!

Chapter 662 Peaceful Years

"Master, are you saying that Lal is from the Celestial Realm?"

On the official road outside the city of Kuis, Yan and Mo Yue walked side by side. Both had witnessed Lei Xiang's defeat, but Mo Yue was more shocked.

Lei Xiang had used the Mad God Armor and transformed into a four-winged fallen angel, yet she was still easily defeated by that Ral. This was a real blow to her, a newly promoted four-winged fallen angel.

She had thought that with her advancement, she would become one of the strongest in the human world. Who would have thought that in the past few days she would first encounter the Holy Dragon Knights, and then Lei Xiang and Ral's duel. The four-winged fallen angel suddenly became someone who was easily defeated, which made her feel a little lost.

"Little girl, you're not the next Demon Emperor, why are you thinking so much? Instead of wasting your time, you should think about how to serve your master well. I won't spank you."

Yan said he had secretly glanced at Mo Yue's voluptuous figure, and although he said he wouldn't hit her, he still reached out his hand to her as he pleased.

"Hey! Master, why do you always bully Mo Yue? You're practically killing the human realm!"

Mo Yue verbally protested, but her body involuntarily leaned into Yan's embrace, letting him do whatever he wanted. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Yan's tendency to bully and teach people a lesson, she somehow found herself enjoying it.

However, even in broad daylight on the official road, the two of them still maintained some restraint and didn't immediately roll around together. It must be said that this demon girl was like a witch from hell; not only was she bold and passionate, but she was also extremely cooperative.

Anyway, Yan has always been very satisfied with Mo Yue. Snatching this demon princess was definitely one of the best things he did when he entered the Jin Yuan Continent. Let Lei Xiang, that green-haired kid, just stay straight. It's no big deal for Yan to help him share some of the pressure.

Every time Yan saw Lei Xiang, he felt that Lei Xiang's head was getting greener and greener. He had already snatched everything he was supposed to, so could there be something he had missed?

Yan couldn't quite understand it, but he was too lazy to think about it anymore. After what happened with Lar, he became a bit timid. Anyway, there was nothing in the Jin Yuan Continent that he needed to care about, so he decided to go back to Dragon City and stay put to develop his strength. Improving his strength with the resources at hand was the most important thing.

After Yan made his decision, he returned to Dragon City with Mo Yue. Everything in Dragon City was peaceful. Zi Yan, Zi Xue, Jin Lili and other girls had advanced to the next level, and there were still one or two years left before they graduated from Tiandu Academy.

After returning to Dragon City, Yan resumed his decadent and extravagant aristocratic life, enjoying himself every day with the meticulous care of Jin Lili, Zi Xue, Zi Yan, and Mo Yue. He was so happy that he forgot all about Douluo Continent.

However, he still took his own cultivation seriously. By studying the Light Inheritance of Tianyun and the Undead Inheritance of Tianlu, he gained a sufficient understanding of the cultivation advancement system of this world. In addition, with some inspiration from Theomandis and Raphael, he successfully reached the limit of a third-level god.

During this time, he had been preparing for his advancement to a second-level god. However, the advancement to godhood is not an easy thing; it requires sufficient understanding of the realm and a sufficient energy foundation.

Yan, a newly ascended deity, can draw inferences and sort out his own realm by studying higher-level divine paths, but the accumulation of foundation for the latter is really troublesome.

Ordinary deities often stagnate after reaching a certain point in their cultivation because their comprehension of realms cannot keep up with their energy accumulation. They accumulate a large amount of pure energy and then break through naturally by chance, without failing to advance due to insufficient energy.

That's how it was with Lieyan back then. She had already reached the peak of the third-level godhood long before she met Yan. After breaking through, she quickly completed her advancement by relying on her own accumulation.

However, Yan's current situation is somewhat troublesome. He has not accumulated enough divine power, and he will have to put in more effort to solve this problem on the Jin Yuan Continent.

Although the human realm of the Mad God Universe can accommodate the actions of first-level gods or even chief gods, it does not mean that it has the same abundant energy environment as the celestial realm and the underworld. It is still quite difficult to complete the ascension to godhood in the human realm.

However, Yan already had some ideas and wasn't in a particular hurry. Wasn't it good to play with Zi Yan, Mo Yue, and a group of girls all day? Why rush things? During this time, he had come to understand some of Jia Baoyu's thoughts; girls really were made of water.

Guess who I am?

In a small courtyard of a manor on the outskirts of Longcheng, Yan Gang got out of bed to go out for breakfast when suddenly a pair of soft little hands covered his eyes from behind. The clear and melodious silver bell-like laughter was unmistakably Zi Xue's.

However, Yan did not answer immediately. Instead, he wrapped his arms around the restless girl and held her in place, then rested his head on the back of his head and felt the back of his head.

"Lili, stop playing."

Yan clearly felt the back of his head sink into something soft and yielding. This size was definitely not Zi Xue's. Although Yan had explored Zi Xue before, he hadn't completely devoured her, and she couldn't have been explored to this extent.

Only Mo Yue and Jin Lili, two girls with devilish figures, possessed such extraordinary talent. Mo Yue's body was even more supple. The demon girls just felt different from the three human girls, so after some analysis, Yan felt that he had guessed correctly.

"Hehe! You rascal, you guessed wrong after all!"

Yan heard Jin Lili's mischievous laughter. He reached out and removed his hands from his eyes, only to see Jin Lili squeeze between him and Zi Xue. Ironically, it was Zi Xue who was covering his eyes, though the girl's face was now a little red.

Part of the reason was that Yan's outstretched hands were not very honest, and another reason was that she was still a little embarrassed by what had just happened; she was still a bit too shy.

"Fine, you two dare to mess with me, neither of you will escape today."

Yan pounced out like a hungry wolf, while Jin Lili and Zi Xue fled with silvery laughter. The three of them chased and played around in the manor, their faces turning red from the frolicking.

"Hehe! Got you? Let me give you a kiss first."

Yan casually grabbed a figure in a purple dress, similar to Zi Xue, but more comfortable to hold. Unfortunately, just as he was about to kiss her, that annoying white light appeared again.

Zi Yan looked helplessly at Yan, who had his mouth open. It wasn't that she was against being intimate with her lover, but she felt that her lover and his two best friends liked to play around too much, and she couldn't participate because of her special physical condition.

Yan did not insist on being intimate with Zi Yan, but gently carried her to the pavilion to meet the other girls.

The current Zi Yan has a restrained divine light within her body, but every move she makes carries a faint holy aura. Compared to a few years ago, her aura is more restrained, and occasionally a trace of precious light can be unintentionally revealed, making her appear even more sacred and unpredictable.

Yan could sense that the time for Zi Yan to awaken her divine power was getting closer and closer, and the thought of this beauty leaving him made him feel uneasy.

He embraced Zi Yan tightly, and the feeling of holding her was so wonderful and touching. Her fragrance, as sweet as orchids, intoxicated Yan.

Zi Yan blushed and said, "Yan, what are you doing? Let me go! Lili, Xue'er, and Yue'er are all watching."

Yan held her tightly, while Jin Lili and Mo Yue, who had been married to Yan countless times, laughed and teased them. Zi Xue also stole glances at the two of them, while Zi Yan looked even more embarrassed.

Yan suddenly felt the sacred aura around Zi Yan fade. Her pretty face flushed, and she obediently pressed her head against Yan's chest, closing her eyes and remaining silent.

Zi Xue pouted and said, "I won't stand for it, Brother Yan. You were chasing after her just now, and now you're hugging my sister. You're being unfair."

Jin Lili chimed in from the side, "Yes, a biased bastard."

Mo Yue joined in, "Master, yesterday you said that holding Yue'er was the most comfortable thing to do."

"None of you three are getting away..."

Yan glanced at the three girls and then reached out to hug them all. This action naturally caused the girls to scatter in all directions, and Zi Yan took the opportunity to escape from Yan's embrace.

"Oh no! Sisters, run! A pervert is coming!"

I don't know who started it, but Yan thought he would definitely pin her down on the bed and beat her up properly afterward. So the group played around and chased each other for a while, and Yan triumphantly pulled all the girls into his arms.

Yan lived a very comfortable life in this peaceful place. He was waited on hand and foot in the manor, with four girls serving him attentively. He didn't even need to lift a finger; delicious food was served to him directly. Even when he did bad things to the girls, he was allowed to comply.

Unfortunately, he knew very well that such peaceful days probably wouldn't last much longer. One reason was the increasingly sacred aura emanating from Zi Yan, and another was Lei Xiang's growth.

Although Yan had been in Longcheng all this time, Lei Xiang's information continued to come to him through various channels, allowing him to keep a clear understanding of the situation.

After obtaining the inheritance of the Mad God, Lei Xiang's strength improved greatly. After returning to the Orc Empire, he was given more important responsibilities. He assisted the Orc Emperor in centralizing his rule, which strengthened the power of the Orc Empire. After that, he handed over power, allowing his reputation and status to reach their peak.

During this time, his father, King Leo of Behemoth, also died, and the Orc King had no other ideas, allowing him to return to the Dragon God Empire with his mother.

On the other side, news came that Gu Chuan had successfully left the Dragon God Empire with the Holy Dragon Knights, and Mo Yue also sent back a message, ultimately making the alliance between the demons and the orcs even closer.

Lei Xiang returned to the Dragon God Empire once again, this time bringing his mother back to his hometown. His mother was the sister of the current emperor of the Dragon God Empire, in other words, he was also a member of the royal family in the Dragon God Empire.
