Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

The criminal soldier couldn't help but shout, "Master, why, why are you doing this?"

"Bing'er, don't blame me. I didn't want you to go in either. But in order to dispel their suspicions, I have no choice but to apologize to you."

Rongruo's voice came again, but it was no longer as gentle as before; it sounded somewhat gloomy: "Now that things have come to this, I will tell you the truth! I am a four-winged Radiant Angel under Lord Gabriel, the Angel of Death, not some fire god Rongruo."

Don't you think the God-King would send a wingless god to take on the important task of guarding the Brahma Sun Dragon?

"Brahma Sun Dragon still has at least half of his strength left. With just the two of you, you're more like snacks for him, hahahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiang clenched his fists so tightly that the bones could be clearly heard cracking. "So you're one of Gabriel's men. How did you know we'd be here?"

Rongruo said disdainfully, "What are you? Do you really think you're the Mad God? The Mad God Theomandis is long dead."

Long ago, Lord Gabriel discovered that the Mad God had not completely perished and found his helmet here. To prevent the helmet from reappearing, Lord Gabriel instigated the God-King to imprison the Brahma Dragon here, and I was sent to guard this place.

Not long ago, Lord Gabriel sent a message from the divine realm, informing me that you might come here searching for the Helmet of the Mad God, and asked me to keep an eye out. I have to thank my silly apprentice; if she hadn't provoked you into fighting, I wouldn't have discovered your whereabouts so easily…”

After hearing his words, Xingbing felt utterly devastated and murmured, "Master, how could you be like this? How did you become like this..."

Lei Xiang clenched his fists in fury, but didn't know who to blame. At that moment, the smug laughter above him rang out again, "You can forget about getting out. This cave is a barrier personally set up by the God King. Even the Brahma Sun Dragon can't escape."

"You'll only face death inside. Even if you manage to kill Brahma Dragon and retrieve the helmet of the Mad God Armor, you won't be able to get out."

Lei Xiang couldn't help but keep pounding his fists on the cave wall. At first, there was no reaction, but soon the cave suddenly began to shake violently, swaying as if it were about to collapse.

"Brahma Heavenly Dragon has awakened, let's go inside!"

Yan discerned the direction from which the commotion was coming, grabbed Lei Xiang who was still venting, and pointed ahead, signaling him to continue following.

Chapter 674 Brahma Sun Dragon

Lei Xiang shouted angrily, "Yan, didn't you hear what Rong Ruo said? This is a trap, we've been tricked." Yan looked at Lei Xiang and suddenly asked, "Lei Xiang, think carefully about what he said. Besides his identity and the fact that he locked us up here, what else did he lie to us about?" Lei Xiang was stunned for a moment, thought carefully, and then said, "Yan, you mean, the Mad God Helmet is really here?"

"Hmm!" Yan nodded and said, "Most lies that can truly deceive are actually true, with only one or two key points being false. This way, they remain logical and won't be exposed. He also said before that Gabriel discovered the Mad God's Helmet and then instigated the God King to seal the Brahma Sun Dragon here. This means that Gabriel only discovered the helmet and had no ability to take it away. Therefore, what he said before about the Brahma Sun Dragon having the helmet should be true." Lei Xiang murmured in disbelief, "Could it really be like that?" Yan looked at Lei Xiang speechlessly.

"Whether it's true or not, the only thing we can do now is to move forward and have a good chat with Brahma Dragon." After saying that, Yan ignored Lei Xiang and walked into the depths of the cave alone. Lei Xiang hesitated for a moment behind him, then pulled Xing Bing and followed.

The cave passages of the sealed land were winding and the air around them grew hotter as the three of them went deeper. Yan and Xingbing did not experience any abnormalities due to their physical constitution, but Lei Xiang could not help but activate his Fallen Angel transformation and use dark magic to resist the heat.

They rounded another passageway, and suddenly their vision brightened. Red light flashed continuously from the bend ahead, and a fierce roar resounded from the front, filled with rage.

Yan raised his hand to signal the two people behind him to stop. Then he slowed down and walked forward. After turning a corner, the space suddenly opened up into a huge open space.

Intense, fiery red light rose continuously from below, and looking down, one could see a brilliant expanse of red—hot, flowing magma.

"Is this a volcano? Where is the Brahma Dragon?" Lei Xiang and Xing Bing also came over. He looked around from the cave entrance. There was no place to stand below. It was completely covered by lava. The cave was unusually empty. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but rocks and lava.

"He's down there." Yan pointed to the scalding red liquid below. Just then, something unexpected happened. The magma below suddenly churned, and a huge figure burst out of the magma, rushing towards the cave entrance along with the splashing waves of hot magma.

"Retreat." Yan had been prepared, and he quickly retreated after grabbing the two of them, barely avoiding the lava that splashed into the cave and the dragon's tail that swung horizontally.

The tail of the Brahma Dragon was fiery red and covered with fine scales. When it fell back into the lava, it slapped the lava hard, and a large amount of lava was sprayed towards the cave entrance where they were.

Lei Xiang drew his sword in an attempt to block, but dark magic emanated from the sword, creating a barrier in front of him.

A hissing sound came from the magma, and most of the dark magic energy was evaporated by the heat of the magma when it met.

A small portion of the magma penetrated the barrier set up by Lei Xiang and flew towards the three of them. Yan casually tossed his hand, and the magma gathered into a ball in mid-air. He then held it in his hand, and as a red light emanated from Yan's body, the magma quickly cooled and dried into rock.

"Hmm! Interesting, but do you think you can fight me with this little bit of skill?" A voice came from deep underground, followed by a sudden eruption of massive amounts of magma. Countless streams of fiery magma rushed into the cave entrance like fire snakes, intelligently attacking Yan and Lei Xiang from multiple directions who were blocking their way.

"Berserker Armor!" Lei Xiang roared, going berserk and transforming into his strongest four-winged blood-red angel form. The breastplate emitted a dazzling golden light, and the Berserker Armor covered his vital points piece by piece.

A dazzling golden light emanated from his body. Lei Xiang pushed his Mad God Battle Qi to its limit, and a layer of red light emanated from his body. With a boom, the red light met the magma head-on.

A surge of energy emanated from the magma pillar, and Lei Xiang was involuntarily thrown out. The golden light on the Mad God Armor shone brightly, dissipating most of the impact, while the magma was blasted into a rain of fire that scattered everywhere by the force of the collision.

"Brahma Heavenly Dragon, we were tricked into coming here by that four-winged angel. We have no ill intentions towards you. Let's talk!" Yan stepped forward to the edge of the cave and shouted. The magma below suddenly became agitated, boiling like ocean waves. A fiery red figure burst out with magma and stopped in mid-air.

The true form of Brahma Heavenly Dragon appeared in the three's sight. This ancestral dragon god looked very similar to the transformed form of Flying Dragon King Jin Ge Can Bi Yin, but there were still some differences.

The Brahma Heavenly Dragon has six fiery red dragon wings and sixteen enormous dragon claws under its belly. When its wings are spread, it floats in the air. It also has a huge, dark red, spiral-shaped horn that is half a zhang long on its head. Its body is covered with fine scales, which clearly indicate that it has extremely strong defensive capabilities.

However, Yan's gaze immediately fell on the fiery red dragon tail. A golden chain was attached to the long tail of the Brahma Dragon, with the other end extending into the magma. Clearly, this was the seal of the God-King Sophia.

The Brahma Heavenly Dragon opened its mouth wide, its dragon eyes fixed on Lei Xiang.

"Boy, judging from your appearance, you should be a first-level deity in the divine realm. How could you be tricked by a four-winged angel? Who are you trying to fool? Wait, the Mad God Armor? You are the Mad God Theomandis, hahaha, I know, you want to get the helmet of the Mad God Armor..." Yan suddenly interrupted Brahma Dragon's mutterings.

"Alright, Dragon God, if you still want to leave this place, then listen to what we have to say first."

"What do you mean? What are you trying to say?" Brahma Dragon's gaze turned to Yan, and suddenly he seemed to have discovered something, and said in surprise, "Wait, your aura is also a bit strange. You don't seem to be a creation of the Creator God? But you're different from me either. What exactly are you?"

"My origins are none of your concern, Dragon God. In short, I have a way to help you leave." Yan's eyes flickered, but he did not answer the question. He had not expected that the Brahma Sun Dragon could see that his origins were problematic. Clearly, neither the God King nor the Underworld King had noticed anything amiss with him before. It seemed that this most ancient divine beast was indeed quite capable.

"You have a way to help me leave? Tell me quickly, what is it?" The Brahma Dragon became somewhat frantic upon hearing that he could leave. However, as soon as he made a large movement, the golden chain on his tail tightened instantly. No matter how he attacked, the golden chain showed no signs of being damaged.

"Damn it, that damned Sophia!" Brahma Dragon suddenly stopped in mid-air and cursed, the cold glint in his eyes sending a chill down his spine.

The red horn on his head suddenly lit up, accompanied by a dragon's roar. The red horn shone brightly, and a bolt of red light shot out from the tip of the horn, heading straight for the middle of the golden chain.

"Let's retreat quickly." Just as Brahma Dragon was fiercely fighting against the golden chains, Yan hurriedly pulled Lei Xiang and Xing Bing back into the cave once again.

The red light and the golden chains collided without making a sound. The magma below, which had been calm, began to boil again, surging and rising into the air. Large amounts of energy magma seemed to erupt and fill the entire cave.

Yan frowned as he looked at the churning lava ahead and said in a deep voice, "This guy has gone a bit mad from being locked up for too long. I didn't expect that just one sentence could provoke him like this."

"What do we do now?" As the lava gradually receded, Lei Xiang looked at Yan with some uncertainty.

"Xingbing, you stay here." Yan instructed the weakest Xingbing to stay behind, and then he and Lei Xiang came to the cave entrance again. They could see the Brahma Heavenly Dragon floating blankly above the lava, its eyes dimmed, staring blankly at the still undamaged golden chains beneath it.

Yan glanced at the undamaged golden chains and spoke again, "Brahma Heavenly Dragon, I've said it before, if you want to get out, you must get our help." Brahma Heavenly Dragon, exhausted from the ordeal, looked utterly dejected and didn't seem very interested in Yan's words.

"Go ahead and tell me! I'm listening."

"The Mad God Theomandis perished in the Heavenly Realm after being framed by Gabriel. Before his death, he took the Mad God Armor with him, but it scattered during its fall to the mortal realm. The crucial Mad God Helmet fell onto this continent..." Yan recounted Theomandis's story to the Brahma Sun Dragon.

“The reason Gabriel suggested to King Sophia that you be imprisoned here was because he knew the Mad God's Helmet was here. He wanted you to guard the Mad God's Armor and prevent the Mad God from returning to the world…”

“Gabriel, that bastard actually had such thoughts, damn it, damn it, damn it…” Although Yan spoke very cryptically, Fan Ri Tianlong still understood. Gabriel had sealed Fan Ri Tianlong here to be his dog and guard things, and the golden chain binding him did indeed look quite fitting.

“Gabriel is treacherous, but this also gives us a chance to break the deadlock. If Lei Xiang can retrieve the Mad God Helmet, he can completely inherit the position of Mad God.” Yan continued, “The Mad God Armor’s power, combined with your cooperation, might give us power approaching that of a God-King. This would make it possible to break the golden chains. Once the chains are broken, the God-King’s sealed land will no longer be able to hold us.” Brahma Heavenly Dragon said with some doubt, “Can what you’re saying really work? A first-level god is strong, but even with me, they can’t possibly be a match for a God-King!”

"Dragon God, take a closer look here." Yan suddenly appeared beside the Brahma Sun Dragon, slowly descending to its tail and pulling on a section of golden chain. With the infusion of his divine power, Lei Xiang and the Brahma Sun Dragon noticed a barely perceptible crack in the middle of the golden chain, which seemed to be slowly healing.

Brahma Dragon's eyes widened, then he shouted excitedly, "It's broken! Actually, I damaged it a little, but the damage was very small! Hahahaha, I knew it..."

“That’s right, it has been breached, but with the Dragon God’s own strength, it would probably take countless millennia to completely destroy it. However, with the help of external forces, this time can be shortened by countless times. Therefore, we need to cooperate.” Yan once again suggested cooperation to Brahma Sun Dragon. He wasn’t exactly deceiving the dragon; if the latter wanted to regain its freedom, it would indeed need Lei Xiang, who had completely become a mad god, to break the seal.

Chapter 675 The Essence of Fire

“You’re right. This place has a barrier set up by the God-King Sophia herself. I don’t know how many years it would take to find a flaw on my own.”

In the underground sealed land at the center of the Western Continent, the Brahma Sun Dragon shook its enormous dragon head in dejection. "I already knew when the barrier outside was activated, but it was because of this broken chain that I couldn't leave here."

"Forget it, I have no use for that Mad God Armor helmet anyway, so I'll just return it to you. Maybe this kid can inherit the Mad God's energy sooner, and I'll have a better chance of escaping."

As Brahma Sun Dragon spoke, it retracted its six wings and plunged back into the magma. The magma churned and rolled once more, and Brahma Sun Dragon flew out, a point of red light shooting from its mouth towards Yan and Lei Xiang.

Lei Xiang rushed forward and connected with the fireball halfway. A red ball of light appeared in his sight. When he touched the fireball with his palm, Lei Xiang was full of doubt because he did not feel anything.

Brahma Heavenly Dragon flapped its six wings and landed slightly in front of the two, saying, "Put it on the ground, and I will remove the barrier on the helmet."

Yan and Lei Xiang continued to retreat back into the cave passage, and even placed the weaker Xingbing further away. Just then, a red light flashed in the eyes of the Brahma Heavenly Dragon at the cave entrance, and the red light of the single horn on its head reappeared.

Lei Xiang couldn't help but shout, "Boss Dragon God, be gentle, don't blow this tunnel to pieces!"

Brahma Heavenly Dragon laughed wildly, "Boy, if this place could really be blown to pieces, I would have escaped long ago. Have you forgotten that there is a God King's barrier here? Get back a bit. If you get hit by the energy of my Death God Wave, don't blame me."

As Brahma Dragon spoke, the red light above his head shone brightly. Yan casually drew upon the surrounding magma energy to form a barrier, and Lei Xiang also quickly activated his Mad God Battle Qi to set up layers of defense.

Boom!

! ”

Suddenly, the red light reached its peak and then erupted, causing the entire passageway to shake violently. The sudden and massive tremor made Xing Bing lose his footing, but fortunately Lei Xiang intervened in time, making the atmosphere between the two even more ambiguous.

Yan was speechless. He was always the one feeding other people's lovey-dovey moments, but this time Lei Xiang showed off his love to him. He had mixed feelings. He should have brought Mo Yue along to show off their love every day.

Just as Yan was lost in thought, a powerful shockwave suddenly struck, hitting the barrier and defenses set up by Yan and Lei Xiang.

Lei Xiang's Mad God Battle Qi connected with his own aura, and after being broken repeatedly, he suffered a backlash. Just moments ago, he was showing affection for his lover, but now he was as if struck by lightning, his whole body trembling violently, and blood gushed out, instantly staining Xing Bing's clothes red.

Yan Mo silently took a step back. This kind of public display of affection really does lead to a quick demise. It's best to stay away to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

"Lei Xiang, Lei Xiang, are you alright?!"

When the criminal police saw that Lei Xiang was injured, they exclaimed in alarm and quickly helped Lei Xiang up, preventing him from falling.

Yan waved his hand to brush away the dust that filled the passageway. Suddenly, a ray of golden light appeared, followed by an even more intense golden light. Lei Xiang, who had been clutching his chest and vomiting blood, now felt light and comfortable, indescribably so.

He released the executioner's hand from his body and rushed eagerly toward the source of the golden light. A shimmering golden object floated in the air, a golden, round metal object enveloped in the golden light—the helmet of the Mad God Armor.

The style of the Mad God's Helmet is very rugged. There is an oval gem in the center of the helmet. The helmet is made with a simple process. Several patterns are engraved on it. In addition to the three metal strips on the front, the two sides extend to the back like a metal ring, which is only two fingers wide.

The voice of Brahma Dragon came, "Boy, call it, it's yours now."

"Berserker God Armor!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiang suddenly understood. He glanced gratefully at Fan Ri Tianlong, then shouted loudly to summon the Mad God Armor. The breastplate on his chest suddenly emitted a bright golden light.

As Yan escorted Xingbing to the entrance of the tunnel, he saw Lei Xiang call out the name of the Mad God Battle Armor. Immediately afterward, a sudden change occurred. The golden divine emblem between Lei Xiang's eyebrows shone brightly, and the Mad God Armor's breastplate on his chest instantly emitted thousands of golden rays.

At the end of the passageway, a dazzling golden light floated in mid-air, turning the entire underground space into a golden world.

Lei Xiang's blood-red wings and long hair gradually turned golden. He slowly walked towards the floating golden light, and the floating golden light slowly flew closer to him. The exceptionally strong holy aura made people feel breathless.

When the golden light finally flew to Lei Xiang's front, Lei Xiang slowly stretched out his hands and held the golden light in his hands. A simple and elegant helmet appeared. Lei Xiang lifted the helmet with both hands and slowly put it on his head.

The moment the helmet was removed, everything seemed to freeze, as if time itself had stopped. A long howl erupted from Lei Xiang's mouth, the sound growing stronger and stronger, filled with joy, its clear and resonant voice echoing through the passageway.

His Berserker Armor began to change; the shoulder armor suddenly expanded outward to twice its original size and extended downwards in two layers. Many dark gold patterns appeared on the armor, resembling giant symbols...

The most peculiar thing was his back; the four pitch-black, fallen wings had now turned golden, and a metallic sheen appeared on them, as if they were part of the armor itself.

A powerful aura emanated from Lei Xiang, and behind him, a figure of light seemed to be flashing continuously—the remnants of Theomandis's divine soul power.

“Kid, you’re starting to look like a first-level god.”

As the light emanating from Lei Xiang faded, Theomandis bid him a final farewell and disappeared. Lei Xiang was somewhat dejected. At that moment, the Brahma Dragon hovered in mid-air, sizing him up as if admiring a treasure.

With a thought, Lei Xiang flew to the front of Brahma Dragon and respectfully bowed to him, saying, "Dragon God, thank you..."
