Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Lei Xiang, go and get used to your own power first, and try to reach the level of a first-level god as soon as possible."

Yan suggested to Lei Xiang, and Lei Xiang nodded and sat cross-legged on the ground. The four wings behind him automatically protected his body, and Xing Bing subconsciously walked to his side to protect him.

Yan then looked at the Brahma Dragon in the sky, "Dragon God, you've been here for so long, you must be tired of being in the magma, why don't you give it to me?"

"Hey, you've got good taste!"

Brahma Dragon bowed his head and replied to Yan, "The essence of this continent has gathered in this cave. The magma underground is formed from the essence of fire and contains enormous fire energy."

The sheer amount of fire essence contained here was enough to tempt even the God-King Sophia. If it weren't for the Creator God's constraints on the divine race, she would have already claimed all of this fire essence for herself.

Do you know why I sealed away the helmet of this Mad God Armor in the first place? It wasn't because I liked it, but because it absorbed too much of the fire essence energy here.

This helmet is incredibly strange. Not only can it absorb energy, but it also seems to have a mind of its own, converting the absorbed energy back into itself. It absorbs energy much faster than I can. If I hadn't sealed it away, I probably wouldn't have made any progress at all over the years.

For the past two thousand years, I have been absorbing fire energy here, and my power is now about 70% of what it was before I was sealed.

Although a lot of energy was absorbed by me and that strange helmet, look at the magma below; it still contains a great deal of fire essence. While it's impossible to create a first-level god, it will easily allow you to break through to a second-level god.

"Thank you very much, Dragon God, for your great righteousness."

After listening to Fan Ri Tianlong's introduction, Yan clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then plunged into the lava without waiting for him to speak again.

"boom!

! ”

The instant Yan's body approached the magma, a burst of intense red light erupted, and an enormous magma giant appeared inside the underground cave, with countless magma spontaneously gathering upon it in the blink of an eye.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yan couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, his aura rapidly surging as he broke through the level of a second-tier god, and continued to rise. The magma giant he transformed into slowly sank into the massive amount of fire essence, and more magma churned and converged in his direction.

"Hey! Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even finished speaking yet. It's so hard to find people to chat with, and you guys can't just focus on cultivating!"

Brahma Dragon looked at the rapidly drying and hardening red magma with some speechlessness. "This kid's magma giant is quite rare. It's a creature I've never seen before. It wasn't created by me or the creator god. Could it be that it was born from heaven and earth like me? But it doesn't seem like it!"

However, this kid's absorption speed of the fire essence is truly amazing; even I, the dragon, am envious. It's much faster than that helmet. Is it because his attributes are more compatible? Magma? It doesn't seem to be purely fire-attribute..."

As Brahma Heavenly Dragon looked down at the ground below, which was glowing red and gradually condensing into a solid crystalline layer, he muttered to himself. He had indeed gone a little crazy after staying in this underground forbidden area for so long without any living beings to communicate with. Now that he had finally met people, he naturally wanted to have a good talk with them.

However, Xing Bing's strength was too weak for him to be interested in, and this woman had no desire to communicate with Lei Xiang at all. As for the remaining two, one was cultivating and the other was fusing with armor, which made him very uncomfortable.

Just as Fan Ri Tianlong was full of things to say but didn't know who to talk to, Lei Xiang, who was next to Xing Bing, suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, his aura had changed significantly, and he was surrounded by a kind of imposing power that made even Fan Ri Tianlong feel pressured.

"This kid is starting to look like a first-level god."

Brahma Heavenly Dragon's eyes lit up. He was very pleased with Lei Xiang's renewed strength, which meant that he had a better chance of getting out.

Chapter 676 Breaking the Seal

"Dragon God, Executioner, where is Yan?"

After Lei Xiang reopened his eyes, he felt full of power, and his cultivation of the Mad God Technique had reached an extremely high level. However, because this improvement was too rapid, he was somewhat unsure of himself, so he thought of consulting someone.

Brahma Heavenly Dragon pointed downwards with one of its dragon claws, "After you went to cultivate the Mad God Technique, that kid also went to cultivate it. That kid is also a strange one. He absorbs the essence of fire faster than I do. Now his cultivation is almost at the peak of a second-level god."

“Dragon God, I have some doubts. Brother Theomandis said before that after I inherited the Mad God Helmet, I must cultivate the Mad God Technique to the thirteenth level as soon as possible in order to fully integrate the power of the Mad God. But I feel that I have already reached the thirteenth level of the Mad God Technique.”

Lei Xiang shared his doubts with Fan Ri Tianlong, hoping to get some helpful advice. He only had a superficial understanding of the Mad God Technique, which he had inherited, and he was even more confused about cultivation after becoming a god.

The final incantation of the thirteenth level of the Mad God Technique: "Energy transforms into liquid, aggregates into bone, controls energy with intention, and the Mad God Technique is complete."

This message involves the essential mysteries of a first-level deity. The bones in his body are solid energy, while the blood is circulating energy, and his whole body seems to have become an energy body.

After receiving the Mad God Helmet and activating the Mad God Technique once again, Lei Xiang reached a similar level. Now his entire body is almost a massive energy body. He can no longer feel his internal organs through internal vision. Only a golden heart is beating slightly in his left chest, at a speed of about one-tenth of its original speed.

Why did this happen after he received the helmet? He was filled with doubts, and now he had no way to continue cultivating the Mad God Battle Qi, which made him even more restless.

After listening to his explanation, Brahma Dragon already had the answer in his heart and said with great pleasure, "Boy, I happen to know the answer to your question. Theomandis was talking about the helmet of the Mad God Armor under normal circumstances, but what you just got is not."

"Theomandis really did have a knack for making mistakes back then. His helmet fell into this lava, and when I arrived here, it had been there for a thousand years. It had absorbed enough energy from the fire essence to create several more second-tier gods."

Brahma Dragon's words dispelled Lei Xiang's doubts. The sense of unreality brought about by his sudden increase in strength vanished, and he became much more confident. "So that's how it is. Then, does that mean I have reached the level of a first-level god?"

Brahma Heavenly Dragon nodded and said, "That's right. The feeling I get from you is that although you don't have the power of a first-level god, you're not far off. However, your aura is a bit strange. Is there something you haven't fully unleashed yet?"

"No, I don't think so! I'll try."

Lei Xiang was also somewhat puzzled. Brahma Sun Dragon was currently sealed and did not have its full strength. Logically speaking, if he had really reached the level of a first-level god, he should have an absolute suppression of the latter, but he did not feel that his power was much stronger than Brahma Sun Dragon's current strength.

"I understand. The Heavenly Demon Technique has affected your Mad God Technique. Try to reclaim the power of the Heavenly Demon Technique."

After exchanging ideas with Lei Xiang, Fan Ri Tianlong pointed out the problem. Lei Xiang, half-believing and half-doubting, stopped the operation of the Heavenly Demon Technique and retracted the four golden wings.

Just as the purple six-pointed star representing the power of the Heavenly Demon Technique dimmed, he suddenly felt a heat between his brows, the gem on his helmet suddenly lit up, and his whole body shone with golden light once again.

The Mad God Armor seemed to suddenly grow larger, and a powerful and vast holy aura flowed directly into Lei Xiang's body from the helmet. His golden blood immediately shone brightly, and his aura changed once again, this time bringing an extremely violent and oppressive force.

Brahma Heavenly Dragon looked at Lei Xiang, whose aura had changed again, and cheered with excitement, "Good, good, very good! Now you are a true first-level god. You can try to help me break the seal."

Just as the man and the dragon were trying to break the seal above the cave, endless energy was constantly converging towards the center of the continent from deep underground.

If you were to split open the underground of the Western Continent, you would find fiery red veins densely covering the entire continent, while deeper underground, a great deal of fiery red energy would gush forth, just like a strange meridian diagram circulating throughout the body.

The center of this Zhou Tian meridian is the underground center of the Western Rui Continent, which is where Yan is now. The so-called Fire Essence is the essence that the entire continent gathers by constantly absorbing energy.

Yan sat upright in the heart of the continent. With each circulation of his energy, he merged the essence of fire. The dense network of veins underground flickered with an unusually active red light, and more essence of fire was extracted, fused, and refined into Yan's body.

His aura continued to rise, climbing all the way to the pinnacle of the second-level godhood after breaking through the third-level godhood realm. Now, he is constantly pushing the limits of this shackle.

Of course, even if you break through this limit, it doesn't mean you directly become a first-level god. First-level gods are extremely rare in any universe, and this realm cannot be broken through simply by accumulating ordinary energy.

If he makes another breakthrough, he will reach a special realm between a second-level god and a first-level god. The twelve witches of the underworld, the six elemental gods of the heavenly realm, and the Brahma Sun Dragon sealed here, as well as other divine beast kings, are all at this realm. Among them, the Brahma Sun Dragon went the furthest, and he fought with Michael for a long time before being captured.

The current Brahma Dragon has significantly increased his strength by absorbing a large amount of fire essence during his sealing period. He has probably truly touched the threshold of a first-level god, but at most he can only fight newly promoted first-level gods like Lei Xiang. He still can't defeat any of the five veteran archangels.

……

Above the core of the Western Continent, Lei Xiang grabbed the golden chain binding the tail of the Brahma Sun Dragon and looked at it for a moment before glancing down with some concern. "Dragon God, Yan is cultivating down there. Will breaking this God King's seal really not affect him?"

Brahma Heavenly Dragon said with great certainty, "Don't worry! I have already sensed that the kid has sunk deep into the Fire Essence underground. Even I can't go down to that location. He's gone to such a deep place that he won't be affected."

"Is that so? Then we can give it a try!"

Lei Xiang took out his sword, Mo Ming, the God-Slaying Sword that had once followed Lucifer. Under the red light, it shimmered with an eerie glow. "Fan Ri, let me help you remove this annoying chain first, and then we'll combine our power to break the seal."

Lei Xiang was brimming with confidence, while the Brahma Heavenly Dragon who had just tried to persuade him had a complex expression in his eyes, a mixture of hope and hesitation. He was somewhat afraid that Lei Xiang wouldn't be able to break the chains set up by the God-King, and that the flame of hope he had just ignited would be extinguished once again.

Lei Xiang looked at him and nodded solemnly. Brahma Heavenly Dragon gritted his teeth and flew upwards with all his might, pulling the golden chains taut.

"Protect yourself with all your might, I'm about to begin."

As soon as Lei Xiang's voice came, the Brahma Sun Dragon spread its six wings wide, and the red horns on its head lit up, enveloping its entire body in a dark red light.

Lei Xiang then shouted to the executioner at the entrance of the tunnel, "Executioner, hide where we set up the barrier earlier."

"The Mad God Descends."

Lei Xiang suddenly rose to the top of the cave, lifting Mo Ming high. The sword blade was surrounded by white light and controlled to about 10 feet in length. Even the Brahma Heavenly Dragon felt a stinging pain from its sharp edge.

A golden phantom appeared behind Lei Xiang. In just a moment, he was already below the golden chains. There was no violent scene as expected. Everything was so quiet. Lei Xiang floated quietly above the lava.

With a soft tinkling sound, Lei Xiang slowly turned his head and saw a white mark appear in the center of the golden chain, with fine cracks constantly appearing around the mark.

Brahma Heavenly Dragon stared dumbfounded at the chain that had bound him for over two thousand years, watching it crumble little by little. As the cracks spread across the entire chain, the originally golden chain suddenly turned white, and a dazzling white light burst forth in all directions.

"Be careful."

After shouting, Lei Xiang disregarded the Brahma Heavenly Dragon and moved to block the exit of the passage. The broken chains shone brightly, and clanging sounds rang out continuously. The chains collapsed and turned into specks of white light, silently floating in the air.

At that moment, everything seemed to stop. The magma below ceased to roll, and the specks of white light erupted the instant the space returned to normal, unleashing a burst of intense energy.

The entire cave was completely obscured by darkness, turning a blinding white. Powerful shockwaves relentlessly pounded in all directions, with Lei Xiang and Fan Ri Tianlong, the two instigators, bearing the brunt of the impact.

"Cough cough..."

Lei Xiang knelt at the exit of the passageway, leaning on Mo Ming for support, drops of white blood continuously dripping from his mouth. On the other side, the Brahma Heavenly Dragon was in an even worse state; a very obvious dragon-shaped indentation on the cave wall at the top of the mountain had completely embedded it.

Lei Xiang then looked around. The red crystal layer that was originally formed by dried magma below had disappeared by more than a hundred meters. At this moment, red light was constantly floating in the deeper part, which made him a little worried about whether Yan below had been affected.

Although Brahma Dragon repeatedly stated that Yan's sinking depth far exceeded expectations and would not be affected, the terrifying impact just now came so suddenly. No one expected that the golden chains left by the God King would explode after being destroyed. It can only be said that women are petty.

"Hahaha, kid, you're really amazing! You actually broke the God King's seal. Good, good, excellent!"

Although the voice of the Brahma Heavenly Dragon was weak, it was still laughing. Red light kept flashing on the wall. He poked his head out from inside. There was hardly a single intact scale on his body. His bright red blood was constantly evaporating, but his dim dragon eyes were filled with joy.

Lei Xiang was relieved to see that Fan Ri Tianlong was alright. "It's good that you're alright. Let's rest for a while and wait until our strength recovers before discussing with Yan how we can get out."

A strange light flashed in Brahma Dragon's eyes. He shook his head and continued, "No, no need. Boy, the chain that binds me is the core of the entire seal. If you break it, it's equivalent to breaking 80% of the restrictions of the God King's seal."

The remaining 20% ​​of our strength is nothing; in our current state, we can definitely break through. I can't wait any longer; I want to see the outside world. I can still hold on. Look, cracks have already appeared in the mountainside; we just need to put in a little more effort…”

Lei Xiang was somewhat moved by Fan Ri Tianlong's words. He regulated the divine power in his body and found that he had recovered some of his strength. He felt that since he only had 20% of the power of a God-King left, there should be no problem.

"Didn't I say that everything would be discussed after I come out of seclusion? Are you all in such a hurry to go out and die?"

Just as he was about to agree, a deafening roar suddenly came from the ground below. Accompanied by a violent explosion, fiery red crystal core fragments scattered everywhere. A figure rushed out of the ground and came to them, his face gloomy and his tone quite dissatisfied.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 677 Suppressing the Throne Angel

"Well, Yan, didn't we successfully break the God King's seal?" In the underground seal of the Western Continent, the disheveled Lei Xiang was somewhat afraid of Yan's questioning. Although his cultivation had surpassed Yan's after inheriting the position of Mad God, the impression Yan had left on him over the years made him dare not ignore the latter's attitude, and he was even somewhat afraid.

Brahma Heavenly Dragon also chimed in from the side.

"Kid, it was me who ordered him to do it. I've been trapped here for so many years, can't I get out sooner?" Yan looked at Lei Xiang and Fan Ri Tianlong, who were both seriously injured, and said very rudely, "Are you two brainless? If you break through the seal in your current state, there's still a Four-Winged Radiant Angel outside. Are you rushing out to get your heads thrown away?!" Lei Xiang and Fan Ri Tianlong were both stunned. The two heads, one big and one small, looked at each other very awkwardly. They both knew Xing Bing's master, that guy who called himself the Fire God Rong Ruo. Lei Xiang had even been tricked by him once just now, but now he had completely forgotten about it.

"This... I..." Lei Xiang realized that he really didn't have a brain and didn't know how to refute it. Fan Ri Tianlong had already silently lowered his head to recover from his injuries, and no one gave him a way out.

"Do I need to say anything more? Go back and heal your injuries. When you leave is up to me." Under Yan Ling's sharp gaze, the brainless man and dragon didn't dare to utter a sound, hanging their heads and obediently becoming his underlings.

"You watch over them, I need to continue my cultivation." Yan gave Xingbing another instruction, then transformed back into a magma giant and disappeared into the earth. Only after Yan completely disappeared did Fan Ri Tianlong and Lei Xiang awkwardly look up, exchange glances, and not know what to say.

Three days later, at the entrance of the sealed cave, the Brahma Sun Dragon and Thunder Soar, who had recovered most of their strength, hovered at the top of the cave wall. They would be the main force to break the seal in the end. As for Yan, the commander, he was the one who used his brain.

Lei Xiang nodded to the Brahma Heavenly Dragon, his body floated up, and he activated all his divine power. The Mad God Armor immediately shone brightly. Although it had not reached its peak form, the golden light full of holy aura still highlighted the power of a first-level god.

A layer of red light surged from the body of Brahma Heavenly Dragon, and the single horn on its forehead was also accumulating energy. The dragon might emanating from its body was not much weaker than that of Lei Xiang.

"Arrows Soar to the Heavens!" Lei Xiang raised the divine sword Mo Ming in his hand, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted loudly. Golden divine power flowed to his arm, and then from his arm to the long sword in his palm.
