Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

His current strength is close to the pinnacle of the human realm, and he also possesses the extremely noble bloodline of the three great empires. Coupled with certain thoughts in his heart, he naturally wants to promote peace, so Dragon City has been quite lively recently.

Chapter 663 Grand Alliance

Dragon City was quite lively during this period, not only because it was already incredibly prosperous with a constant flow of people, but also because of the continuous arrival of envoys from various ethnic groups, and a piece of news that had been circulating.

The fact that the three great empires are preparing to conclude an alliance, ending the days of border standoffs and war, is naturally very good news.

Although the Dragon God Empire has the Stru Fortress guarding its borders and has never seen war within its borders, every battle with the orcs and demons results in the deaths and injuries of countless warriors, and many families hang out in mourning.

This unstable peace makes many people uneasy, especially in border provinces and cities, where a martial spirit prevails, all for the sake of peace.

So when the news spread, there was a great deal of discussion from the capital city of Dragon City to Skrull Fortress.

A huge mansion near the Duke of Zifeng's mansion on Longcheng Street has been bustling with people coming and going lately. This is the mansion that Lei Xiang has been looking for in Longcheng. His mother and the Duke of Zifeng once had a relationship, although he himself opposed such a thing.

Lei Xiang's mother is the younger sister of the current emperor of the Dragon God Empire. Although this identity is not something that can be openly acknowledged, they still found an opportunity to recognize each other, which led to the current alliance of the three kingdoms.

On the street of Lei Xiang's mansion, Lei Xiang, Pan Zong, and Jin Yin, the three sworn brothers, walked openly. Pan Zong revealed his snake-man form, while Jin Yin maintained his two-headed werewolf form.

Orcs walk openly on the streets of Dragon City. This would have been quite a dream a year ago, but it has become a very common occurrence these days.

"Brother, you mean the Holy Dragon Knights have all arrived?"

Lei Xiang and Pan Zong were talking in hushed tones. Pan Zong, the Nine-Headed Serpent, had recently managed to go to the Dragon Clan to recognize his mother. While getting acquainted with the Dragon Clan, he had also made contact with the Holy Dragon Knights.

Pan Zong replied in a low voice, "Not only the Holy Dragon Knights, but also the Dragon Clan came. It's because of Sister Xiao Lan's influence."

Pan Zong pointed ahead, and Lei Xiang saw them too: Tian Yun, Li Feng, Yue Wuya, and a group of dragon riders from the Holy Dragon Knights—all seventeen of them were present. The Holy Dragon Knights had come out in full force this time. Behind them, the dragons had also arrived.

The current Dragon King, the leader of the Dragon Clan, is a handsome young man dressed entirely in gold. The Dragon King, Jin Gecan Bi Yin, has come in person, and Lei Xiang was quite shocked when he confirmed this.

Although he had some connection with this Dragon King, he didn't consider himself to have much influence. He could only say that the Earth Sea Dragon Princess Xiao Lan, whom he had known before, had enough influence to make this Dragon King willing to come over.

A girl in a blue dress walked up to the Dragon King and said to Lei Xiang with a smile, "Hey, Lei Xiang, I heard you're going to be a groom. How does it feel?"

Lei Xiang chuckled and said, "Just like Lao Jin, didn't he tell you?"

His words immediately drew laughter from everyone. The first to start was Jin Gecan Biyin. The Dragon King looked innocently at the beauty beside him. Lan'er blushed and turned around to punch Jin Gecan Biyin.

"What are you laughing at? Humph, I'm ignoring you."

Lan'er threw a tantrum, but Jin Gecan and Bi Yin gently pulled her into their arms. "Good wife, don't be silly. Lei Xiang, I kept my word, didn't I? This is the first time our Dragon Clan has participated in these activities, so please give us face!"

Lei Xiang nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Tianyun walked to the Dragon King's side and asked Lei Xiang, "How is it? Is everything going smoothly?"

During the days when Yan wasn't causing trouble, he finally found a way to get in touch with Lei Xiang. Although he was very upset when he learned of his brother's death again, after exchanging information with Lei Xiang, he finally gained some understanding of Yan.

Lei Xiang nodded. "Well, it went fairly smoothly. Both the Beast King and the Demon King agreed to the peace talks. What's the Holy Dragon Knights doing with the entire force?"

Tianyun smiled and said, "Of course it's about the alliance. The alliance of the three races is unprecedented in history. If this matter is really accomplished, it will definitely be a great thing."

Lei Xiang said irritably, "Yeah, but it's just too complicated. If it weren't for the need to keep things quiet on the mainland, I wouldn't bother with it."

"His Majesty has arrived."

Lei Xiang was once again shocked by the sudden news: Emperor Zi Yan of the Dragon God Empire had arrived unexpectedly, and everyone, along with the various envoys, hurriedly went to greet him.

When Emperor Zi Yan of the Dragon God Empire travels, the procession is naturally quite grand. First, he is escorted by dragon knights, and then he is followed by Landis, Rivo, Zi Yan, and another tall middle-aged man, who is none other than Baili Ku, the last of the three marshals.

The youngest of the three active marshals of the Dragon God Empire, he possessed outstanding strength and talent. He followed Zi Yan with a serious expression, and his strength could not be discerned from his appearance.

As soon as Zi Yan entered, he smiled and nodded at Jin Gecan and Bi Yin. Jin Gecan and Bi Yin nodded back without saying a word, while everyone else who belonged to the Dragon God Empire bowed to Zi Yan.

"Alright, no need for formalities, everyone please sit down."

Zi Yan seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face. He turned his gaze to Lei Xiang and said, "Lei Xiang, you're back!"

Lei Xiang said respectfully, "Your Majesty, thank you for coming."

Zi Yan laughed and said, "Silly boy, why are you being so polite with me? You are my nephew, so you should call me uncle. Don't call me Your Majesty, it sounds too formal."

"You are my sister's son. After the alliance is established, I will officially declare Lei Xiang a descendant of the royal family of my Dragon God Empire. Lei Xiang, tell your uncle how your trip went!"

Lei Xiang nodded, pleased to be recognized. "Uncle, the trip went very smoothly. The Beast King and the Demon King readily agreed to the peace talks."

Zi Yan nodded and said, "That's good. We're not afraid they won't agree."

As he spoke, he glanced at the members of the Holy Dragon Knights, and Landis, who was standing next to Ziyan, chimed in, "With all of you seniors here, I doubt the orcs and demons can pull any tricks."

Tianyun smiled gently, "Marshal Landis, you can't say that. Although we are stronger than the orcs and demons, their Fallen Angel Legion and Behemoth Legion are both formidable fighters. It's best to avoid war if possible..."

If these words had come from anyone else, even if Zi Yan were present, Landis would probably have immediately turned hostile. But coming from Tian Yun, Landis showed no temper whatsoever, respectfully nodding and saying, "Yes, this junior has learned much."

Zi Yan chimed in, "Alright, we're not going to fight this time. Since it's a peace talk, we should act like one. Our Dragon God Empire is the most powerful nation on the continent, and we must show the demeanor of a great power. From now on, no one is allowed to mention the use of force."

"Your Majesty, the delegation from the Orc Empire has arrived."

Just as the group was catching up and chatting, a guard suddenly came to report important news: the official delegation from the Orc Empire had arrived. Zi Yan naturally dared not be careless about this matter, so he took his ministers with him.

After Lei Xiang's reforms, the Orc Empire's army was not only better equipped than before, but its camps were also arranged in an orderly manner, and the patrolling soldiers were all proud and spirited, making it clear at a glance that this was an elite force.

Lei Xiang, Pan Zong, and Jin Yin also voluntarily joined the delegation. Pan Zong transformed back into his nine-headed form, and Jin Yin exposed his two large heads. As soon as they approached, snake people, werewolves, and Behemoth soldiers lined the way to greet them.

Shortly after the Orcish Empire's delegation arrived, the Demon Clan's delegation also arrived. Once there, the Demon Clan troops methodically set up their camps, with follow-up troops continuously converging like a long snake.

When the two large delegations appeared outside Dragon City, some people inside and outside the city were filled with unease. Fortunately, the Dragon Knight Legion patrolled the area every day, which calmed people down.

This lively scene continued until the day the alliance began. Two ancient races also came to witness the alliance, the elves and the dwarves, just like the dragons. Although they were in decline and still had strength, their numbers were insufficient to affect the overall situation.

On the day the alliance event began, Lei Xiang, Pan Zong, and Jin Yin stayed in the Orc Empire's camp, presiding over the event together with the Orc Emperor.

"The Behemoth Legion will lead the way, with the Viper and Swiftwolf Legions protecting the flanks, and the Mad Lion Legion bringing up the rear. Everyone, move out."

Inside the orc camp, with the Beast King's order, the four main legions of the delegation immediately sprang into action. The Viper and Swift Wolf legions, under the command of Pan Zong and Jin Yin, split to the sides, while Lei Xiang's elder brother, Lei Long, led the Behemoth legion, each member wielding a giant spiked club, marching proudly.

Lei Xiang and the Orc King boarded the newly acquired wooden palanquin, which was carried by sixteen Behemoth warriors, and set off towards their destination.

The Viper and Swift Wolf Legions surrounded them in the center, led by the Serpent God Panzong and the Wolf God Jinyin respectively. The Orc King's son, the half-lionman Mengke, led the Mad Lion Legion from behind. All the Orcs' elite forces set off in a grand procession.

As the orcs moved out, the demon camp also sprang into action. Two demon heavy armored cavalry legions formed a steel torrent at the forefront, with dozens of fallen angels flying in the air. Below the fallen angels was the demon royal guard led by the Demon Emperor himself.

Following the Demon Royal Guard were two legions of dark mages clad in black cloaks. For this peace talks, the Demon race had mobilized almost all of its elite forces, deploying its two main pillars: the Fallen Angels Legion and the Dark Mage Legion.

The demon army advanced almost parallel to the orc formation, their target being the newly constructed giant circular platform outside Dragon City, the location designated by the alliance.

Just as the elite forces of the two empires were about to reach the steps in front of the round platform, a dragon's roar resounded, and hundreds of giant dragons flew out from within the walls of Dragon City.

These colossal dragons hovered high in the sky, forming three square formations. Each formation was commanded by one of the Empire's three marshals: Rivo in the center, Landis on the left, and Baili Ku on the right. The roars of the various dragons greatly enhanced their imposing presence.

At that moment, the city gates of Dragon City swung open, and countless light cavalrymen rushed out. As soon as they emerged from the massive city gates, they immediately galloped to both sides, forming a formidable light cavalry formation.

A series of orderly sounds rang out, and the Dragon God Empire's proud heavy armored cavalry legion appeared. Each of them was clad in heavy armor, and even their horses were encased in armor.

The heavy cavalry, arranged in ten columns, emerged proudly from the wide city gate, forming four large square formations on either side of the gate. Behind them were the heavily armored infantry, also divided into four square formations, two on each side.

In the center of the heavily armored cavalry and infantry formations, a long passageway was formed, leading to the steps of a giant circular platform, and in the distance, the gates of the imperial capital, Dragon City.

Chapter 664 The Angel Descends

The clear sound of horses' hooves came from within Dragon City, and a group of more than twenty people spurred their horses and galloped out from the city gate.

Right in the center is King Zi Yan of the Dragon God Empire, with Crown Prince Zi Yan beside him, and behind them are the members of the Holy Dragon Knights.

The orc and demon armies had reached the steps of the circular platform. The Behemoth Legion dispersed, with sixteen Behemoth warriors carrying Lei Xiang and the Beast King to the front.

The demon army had also arrived at the steps of the giant circular platform, while the fallen angel army flew in the air, facing the dragon knight army of the Dragon God Empire from afar.

The Mountain Dwarf King also appeared, leading his five hundred tribesmen at breakneck speed to the flank of the Dragon God Empire, where he himself arrived beside Zi Yan.

The mournful sound of horns echoed from the city walls of the Dragon God Empire. The Beastman King led Lei Xiang, Meng Ke, Behemoth King Lei Long, Wolf King Jin Yin, Snake King Pan Zong, and others to attend the alliance meeting.

The Orc King leaped into the air, landing lightly on the first step of the stairs, which was covered with a red carpet and extended all the way to the giant circular platform. Lei Xiang followed beside him, while Meng Ke, Jin Yin, Pan Zong, and Lei Long followed behind them.

The horns continued to sound as the powerful figures of the Orc Empire steadily advanced towards the giant circular platform. Meanwhile, on the Demon side, the Demon Emperor, accompanied by the four-winged fallen angel Furukawa and Prince Suchat, along with eight other fallen angels, began to ascend the platform.

From the Dragon God Empire's direction, Zi Yan only brought four people to the stage: Crown Prince Zi Yan, Lei Xiang's mother Zi Ling, the Guardian of Light Tian Yun, the War God of Radiant Rain Yue Wu Ya, the War God of Extinction Li Feng, and the Dwarf Pala.

Out of respect for the other two sides, everyone advanced at roughly the same pace, standing on three circular platforms, watching the other two. The historic moment of dialogue between the three great empires was about to arrive, and everyone was filled with excitement mixed with nervousness.

Everyone simultaneously stepped towards the center of the circular platform. The expressions on the faces of the three rulers were all serious and solemn. On the ground in the center of the platform was a large magical six-pointed star. If its six points were connected to form a circle, the diameter would be about three meters.

When the three races reached the edge of the six-pointed star, they all stopped simultaneously. At that moment, both the people on the stage and the elite troops of the three races below fell silent, with only the sound of the dragon flapping its wings in the sky.

Apart from the emperors of the three races, Tianyun was the most influential person here. As agreed, Tianyun stepped forward and announced loudly: "Humans, Demons, and Beastmen, the peace ceremony of the three races shall now begin."

His voice traveled outwards using light magic, so not only could everyone present hear it, but every soldier below the stage should also be able to hear it clearly.

The hundred magical energy cannons specially prepared by the Dragon God Empire simultaneously rose, their muzzles emitting dazzling light. With a deafening roar, the magical energy cannons began to spew out huge energy balls from left to right.

Each energy sphere shot straight into the sky, exploding with a deafening roar at its peak, showering the sky with a shower of light. The various magical elements in the air fluctuated violently, creating a spectacular scene. Only when the final cannon shot subsided did everyone come to their senses.

After exchanging pleasantries, the Human Emperor, Demon Emperor, and Beast Emperor simultaneously burst into laughter and raised their right hands. Just as the ceremony was about to reach its crucial moment, a powerful and resonant voice rang out from the sky, "Wait a moment."

In the distance, a cluster of colorful lights rapidly approached the giant circular platform. As the lights drew closer, intense elemental fluctuations enveloped the sky, while the dragons, the mounts of the dragon knights patrolling the area, remained unusually inactive.

The golden light rapidly approached, revealing the Dragon King Jin Gecan Biyin, who had not yet appeared, leading numerous dragons and the long-absent elves to attend the alliance meeting.

The ancient races of dragons, elves, and dwarves, along with the three most powerful empires on the Jin Yuan Continent, make this alliance a representation of all races and nations on the Jin Yuan Continent.

The leaders of the three ancient races and the three great empires jointly concluded a century-long peace treaty. When the alliance began, the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, a situation that made people uneasy, unsure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

When the various races and the high-ranking officials of the empires swore an oath of blood and signed a pact, the sky suddenly turned blood red, and a deafening thunderclap resounded from the dark clouds.

Following this strange phenomenon, a round hole suddenly opened in the center of the dark clouds, and a ray of bright sunlight shone down, enveloping everyone, including the magical six-pointed star on the ground. All the people of the six races present were stunned by this extraordinary sight.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed from the center of the sunlight shining on the round platform, and the beam of light also spread outward from us.

When the sun reappeared clearly in the sky, the dark clouds were completely dispersed, and the sunlight shone brightly on the earth, all races rejoiced. Soldiers raised their weapons high, and the dragons roared to the sky, their deafening shouts echoing across the land.

Just as everyone was cheering and jumping for joy, an unusual change suddenly occurred in the sky. A colorful cloud suddenly appeared overhead, with light constantly flowing across it, making it look extremely beautiful.

But Lei Xiang, standing on the high platform, felt a strong sense of foreboding and subconsciously asked Tian Yun, who was not far away, "Did you arrange this?"

Tianyun shook his head solemnly and said, "I don't know what's going on either. Could it be that auspicious omens have descended from the sky because of your wedding?"

"You lowly human, why has the princess's aura changed? Did you, you bastard, do something detrimental to the princess?"

A sudden sound rang out from the sky, and a golden beam of light descended from the heavens, shooting straight toward the circular platform. Its primary target was none other than Lei Xiang.

"Berserker God Armor"

When Lei Xiang heard that voice, he felt a strange sense of familiarity and disgust. He immediately summoned the Mad God Armor and shouted. As he did so, golden light burst forth, its intensity no less than the rising sun in the sky.
