Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

A golden halo gradually appeared on the tip of Mo Ming's sword. With a clang, a golden beam of light shot out from the tip of the sword and shot straight up to the top of the cave, with a golden tail flame energy following behind.

With a deafening roar, the cave ceiling shattered, and large spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the four sides of the cave walls. The entire mountain where the seal was located shook and began to crumble.

On the mountain peak outside, Rongruo, who had reverted to her four-winged radiant angel form, suddenly felt a pang of unease. Then she heard a huge commotion below. She looked down and was shocked to see several huge cracks appearing on the mountain wall. The divine king barrier that she had protected for many years was about to be broken.

"This... how is this possible? This mountain is a barrier personally set up by the God King!" Rong Ruo felt a sense of panic. Then she saw the entire mountain shake, the cracks on the mountain rapidly widening, and a golden light shot out from the top of the mountain. Countless fragments of stone were carried away by the golden light and scattered around. Following the golden light was a huge red light.

Rongruo couldn't help but gasp. She had already seen what was inside the red light. It was a giant red dragon with six wings and bared fangs. This was the Brahma Heavenly Dragon that she had guarded for many years. This guy had actually broken through the God King's seal.

"This is impossible, impossible..." The golden light in the sky gradually subsided, and Lei Xiang's figure appeared. Rong Ruo looked at Lei Xiang, who was wearing the Mad God Armor, and while she was terrified, she also calmed down.

"We can't let them live." She gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She flapped her four pure white wings, and a bright blue light shone from her body. She pounced on the descending golden light like lightning.

Lei Xiang was in mid-air, with golden bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the blue light that was flying towards him, he felt a wave of fear. If it weren't for Yan's reminder, he and Fan Ri Tianlong would have been very likely to be harmed by Rong Ruo if they had rashly rushed out of the seal.

When Rongruo, in her four-winged angel form, saw Lei Xiang continuously losing golden blood, she accelerated. The golden blood within a deity is the source of energy, and the loss of golden blood indicates a severe injury, which is her chance.

Rong Ruo charged forward with powerful blue flames, but Lei Xiang, who was prepared, swung his sword, Mo Ming, which emitted a golden light as he slashed at Rong Ruo with all his might.

Lei Xiang's sword strike was quite powerful, but he was not in good condition. Rong Ruo was also a second-level deity, and could barely exchange a few blows with a first-level deity.

Rong Ruo's face was as still as water. She formed a strange hand seal with her hands, and the light on her body suddenly turned into a blazing white. A white six-pointed star shot out from her hand and slammed into the golden light that Lei Xiang had unleashed.

"Boom!" Lei Xiang drew his sword to protect himself, and the Mad God Armor burst forth with an unusual light. The golden sword light he had unleashed completely dissipated. In his current state, taking down Rong Ruo would not be an easy task.

Fortunately, they had already planned their roles before they came out, so he wasn't the main force dealing with Rongruo, and there was no need to get too entangled with him now, as long as he didn't aggravate his injuries.

He already had a plan in mind, and after briefly blocking Rong Ruo's attack, he quickly retreated. A bolt of red lightning shot out from behind Lei Xiang, striking Rong Ruo who was preparing to pursue. Rong Ruo was thrown into the air and fell downwards, many feathers knocked off her four pure white wings.

With a flash of red light, the Brahma Heavenly Dragon blocked Rong Ruo's path, its massive mouth suddenly spewing out a burst of flames that scattered into a sea of ​​fire in mid-air.

"Brahma Ri Tianlong, how dare you defy the God King and attack me!" A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Rong Ruo's mouth, and her eyes showed even greater fear when she saw Brahma Ri Tianlong.

"I wasn't afraid of her back then! That woman Sophia locked me up for so long! You go back and tell her this isn't over!" Rong Ruo stopped, her surprised gaze sweeping over Lei Xiang and Fan Ri Tianlong. Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"You don't need to bluff anymore. I understand. You're all seriously injured, aren't you? Very well, let me send you on your way one last time." A bright blue light emanated from her body, instantly scorching the air. After a few breaths, the blue light abruptly turned white. Her hands continuously formed hand seals in the air, and streaks of white light floated in mid-air like tiny suns.

The surrounding air grew increasingly tense. Lei Xiang and Fan Ri Tianlong remained motionless opposite Rong Ruo, which made her unsure of the situation. She wanted to turn around and leave, but was afraid of falling into a trap and making a big mistake.

Lei Xiang's gaze towards Rong Ruo was full of hostility, but also with a sense of triumph at his successful plan.

"Rongruo, haven't you noticed that the number of people who came out is a bit off?!"

“You guys are missing, Xingbing and another guy, they are…” Rongruo’s heart skipped a beat after hearing Lei Xiang’s words. Realizing something, she immediately looked around. Soon she saw Xingbing in the ruins of the mountain below. This disciple seemed to be calling out to her. Behind her, behind her there was… Rongruo turned around, but it was too late. Yan, who had appeared behind her at some point, simply placed a palm on her back. The four-winged Radiant Angel felt her strength being forcibly dissipated, as if she had fallen to the ground like a meteorite.

Rongruo crashed heavily to the ground, her body sliding out of a long ditch before coming to a stop. Most of her body sank into the ground, her once pure and sacred body now stained with all sorts of dust and grime, completely losing its former beauty.

"Master, Master, are you alright!" Xingbing rushed from the mountain ruins to Rongruo's side and struggled to pull her out of the ground. Although Rongruo had tricked Lei Xiang, it was ultimately a matter of different positions. She was still quite good to Xingbing, her little apprentice who was a native of the Western Rui Continent, and he had only lied to her once.

"Cough cough..." Rong Ruo leaned half her body against Xing Bing, her four wings drooping on the ground. After coughing twice, she finally felt much better, but when she saw the two shadows of a person and a dragon appear on the ground, her fear deepened.

"What are you doing? I am an envoy sent by the God King, representing the God King. You cannot harm me." Rong Ruo panicked completely as she watched the approaching Brahma Dragon and Lei Xiang. Everyone is afraid when facing death, but some people can face their fear and overcome it, while most people are just overwhelmed by fear.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll... I'll... Ah..." Rong Ruo watched as they continued to approach, and the fierce killing intent in Lei Xiang's eyes terrified her completely. She steeled herself and tried to take Xing Bing hostage, but unfortunately, she was sent flying as soon as she made her move.

"Lord Rongruo, why are you in such a sorry state? Do you want to live?" Yan's voice rang in her ears. Rongruo felt her chin being pinched, and Yan's face appeared in her somewhat blurry vision. The way he looked at her seemed familiar. Over the years in the Western Continent, she had met many mortals, and many men would secretly look at her with that kind of gaze.

In the past, she would have made any man who dared to desecrate her disappear from the world and purified him with the holy blue flame. But now, the man in front of her was her only lifeline.

"I want to live, I want to live, I can give you anything, please..." Rong Ruo's pleading voice made Xing Bing, who was standing next to her, cover his mouth. She never thought that her master would become like this.

Lei Xiang had originally planned to take revenge himself, but he stopped when he saw Xing Bing's silence. He went over and hugged her to comfort her.

Chapter 678 First Entry into the Underworld

"Yan, are we really okay letting her go like this?"

In a certain Fireman territory on the Western Continent, Lei Xiang gazed at the direction of the sealed land with some unease. After all, they had fought to the death with Rong Ruo, and Yan had now let it go so easily, making him unsure if the matter had been resolved so simply.

While enjoying the fireman's roasted meat, Fan Ri Tianlong let out a burp and muttered, "Exactly, exactly. Keeping that four-winged angel alive is one thing, but telling her about the fire essence deep underground is another. I really don't know what you were thinking."

"You can rest assured that I will handle things better than you have arranged."

Yan glared at the two of them, and the two guys, whose intelligence had been suppressed, immediately shut up and stopped arguing about the previous topic.

How Yan deals with Rong is his own business, after all, the four-winged angel was his prisoner. Although Xing Bing had some other ideas, Lei Xiang's words never carried any weight when facing Yan.

"You two, now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, it's time to get down to business. Lei Xiang, what about the token that the Great Demon God Lucifer left for you?"

Yan took a couple of bites of the Fireman's specialty roasted meat and lost interest. He glanced at the other two who had escaped. Fan Ri Tianlong was still stuffing himself, while Lei Xiang was cuddling with Xing Bing, the owner of the Fireman territory.

After what happened before, their relationship progressed rapidly. If the right opportunity arose, things might escalate tonight. Yan was naturally unhappy about this public display of affection in front of him; he was always the one feeding other people their lovey-dovey moments.

"Ah, the token, the token is here, here."

Lei Xiang was stunned for a moment after hearing Yan's greeting, and then he hurriedly found the keepsake left by Lucifer.

After Lei Xiang took out the token, he turned to look at Brahma Dragon. "Um, Dragon God, this still feels a bit awkward. I'll just call you Brahma Dragon."

"Brahma, I want to go to the Heavenly Realm to seek revenge. You'll come back with me, and once we get there, we'll part ways. You can remain your divine beast, and I'll go find Gabriel to take my revenge. But you must be careful; don't let the God King and his men capture you again."

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Brahma Heavenly Dragon. Then, he shook his dragon head and said firmly, "Lei Xiang, I will go with you to take revenge. I also have a grudge against those guys in the Heavenly Realm, and I want to take revenge too."

Lei Xiang shook his head and said, "Fan Ri, you'd better not go. It's very dangerous for me to go this time. Even if you have the power of a first-level god, there are only two of us, while the god race has a god-king, four first-level gods, and countless second-level gods..."

A hint of melancholy appeared in Brahma Dragon's eyes. "I was born almost at the same time as the human, god, and underworld realms. I have lived for so many years, I have lived long enough. I was almost killed by the creator god when I created the dragon race. I have lived many years too long."

"Hey you two, why are you saying such mindless things?"

Yan's voice rang out again from the side, and the sentimental man and dragon immediately sensed something was wrong, but the voice continued, "Lei Xiang, you can take revenge if you want, but you have to follow my arrangements. Only then will you have a chance to take revenge."

"If you don't listen, I suggest Lucifer imprison you for a thousand years first. The reason is that you're not strong enough; going directly to Gabriel would be suicide. I think Lucifer will agree. The same goes for Brahma; after leaving the human realm, you all have to listen to me, understand?"

"Okay, then!"

Lei Xiang and Fan Ri Tianlong exchanged a guilty glance and could only nod. The previous incident with Rong Ruo made them feel ashamed in front of Yan, and they had also tacitly accepted the fact that Yan was more intelligent. Now they could only silently agree.

"Lei Xiang, if you want revenge, you have to leave this world. You have to put aside your human feelings for now. Let's talk about matters of love and affection later!"

Yan glanced at the criminal soldier next to Lei Xiang and advised him, "You should say goodbye to the criminal soldier later. Let's leave as soon as possible so that it won't be harder to part over time."

"I understand."

Lei Xiang nodded solemnly, agreeing with Yan's words: a short pain is worse than a long one, and a temporary separation is for a long future.

After bidding farewell to Xing Bing, Lei Xiang tossed the small black ball he had obtained from Lucifer into the sky. Moments later, a black beam of light shot down, and a deep voice sounded, "Brother Lei Xiang, have you found the helmet of the Mad God Armor?"

It was Lucifer's voice. Upon hearing it, Lei Xiang's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "Yes, Brother Lucifer, I have found it. Please take me to the Heavenly Realm now!"

Lucifer said, “Alright, step into the black pillar of light, and I will take you to the underworld first.”

While Lei Xiang was talking to Fan Ri Tianlong about his close relationship with Lucifer, Yan realized that this kid was the kind of person who would be clueless at crucial moments.

Desperate for revenge, Lei Xiang wanted to go directly to the Heavenly Realm to cause trouble for Gabriel, while Lucifer clearly wanted to take him to the Underworld first to plan things out. However, this seemingly bright kid failed to notice the slightest problem.

"The passage is open, let's go in!"

After greeting the dragon and the phoenix, who resembled a sleeping dragon and a young phoenix, Yan walked towards the black pillar of light. The Brahma Heavenly Dragon flapped its six huge dragon wings on its back, and Lei Xiang also floated towards the black pillar of light.

The moment the two figures and the dragon's shadow rushed into the darkness, everything seemed to freeze, with only the eternal darkness dissipating after twisting.

After a long while, Yan felt a sudden brightness before his eyes. In his vision was a gray land with irregular cracks on the ground. The surroundings were empty, appearing desolate and bleak.

Brahma Sun Dragon and Lei Xiang were beside him. Brahma Sun Dragon, which was over twenty feet long, revealed its true form and looked around warily.

Lucifer's deep voice rang out, tinged with surprise, "Brahma Sun Dragon, the strongest divine beast in the God Realm?"

Lei Xiang, being the strongest cultivator and recovering quickly, hurriedly explained upon hearing Lucifer's voice: "Brother Lucifer, he came with me, and he's willing to help me seek revenge against the Heavenly Realm."

Amidst the intense energy fluctuations, a purple six-pointed star appeared, rippling through the space. A dark, fallen figure emerged in the air—it was none other than the great demon Lucifer.

Six black wings fluttered gently behind him as he looked at Brahma Sun Dragon. Then they reminisced for a while. It turned out that he was also an old acquaintance of Brahma Sun Dragon, and their relationship was quite good in the past.

"The energy level here is higher, similar to the divine realm that Teacher and Sister Xue'er visited before, but the two types of energy are intertwined and mixed. This should be the place where the underworld and the heavenly realm meet..."

Lucifer chatted and reminisced with Brahma Dragon, Lei Xiang, and others, but Yan had no interest in joining in. He had only met Lucifer once, their relationship was so-so that there was nothing to talk about, and he was not a talkative person either.

For him, exploring the mysteries of the intersection of these two realms was far more interesting than talking to these guys; this land was a hidden treasure trove in his eyes.

"The Armor of the Mad God".

As Yan was analyzing the components of some gray fog, Lei Xiang suddenly shouted, and intense golden light spread in all directions. A sacred aura filled a certain place, while a large area of ​​death aura rolled outwards.

The gray fog in front of Yan vanished instantly, prompting him to give Lei Xiang a look that said, "I'm going to get you."

At Lucifer's request, Lei Xiang was undergoing the transformation into a berserker god, a golden light emanating from between his brows, the color of the divine emblem.

He unconsciously tilted his head back, the gem on his helmet shining through his body, and countless streams of air gathered around him. Lei Xiang's mind instantly became exceptionally clear; it was the helmet that kept him calm.

Once all the components of the Berserker Armor were fully formed, a powerful and vast divine aura surged into his body. Lei Xiang's golden blood immediately boiled, and with his eyes wide open, his body automatically entered a berserk state.

The golden armor quickly turned white, while the dark gold patterns turned gold. A powerful divine aura filled Lei Xiang's entire body, and his energy continued to expand. White light flowed across the Mad God Armor, making it look extremely beautiful in combination with the dark gold patterns.

Lucifer was overjoyed to see the complete form of the Mad God Armor. "I have finally seen the white Mad God Armor again. It was made by the Father God. It is truly beautiful."

After a moment of reflection, Lucifer continued, "We haven't heard from Gabriel since I seriously injured him. He's probably still recovering. Brother, I understand you want to cause him trouble, and I really want to kill that bastard, but we need to think this through. You should come back to the Underworld with me to visit Lord Hades first!"

"Isn't this the underworld?"

Lei Xiang said with some surprise, he originally thought that the underworld was like this because he thought this place was extremely desolate. After all, in the records of the human world, the underworld was described as a barren and desolate place, a place like a purgatory.

Lucifer replied, "Of course not. Do you think the Underworld is this desolate? This is where the realms of gods and the Underworld meet. By the way, channel your divine power into your eyes and look that way."

Lucifer pointed into the distance as he spoke, and Lei Xiang curiously did as he was told, and a clear dividing line appeared in his vision.

The environments on either side of the dividing line are completely different. The side they are on is darker, while the other side of the dividing line is completely different. It is covered with lush green grass and various plants, and it seems much brighter than this side.

Lucifer continued, "Brother, you can also look up at the sun here. How is it different from the sun in your human world?"

At that moment, Yan happened to look up at the sky and saw the sun of the underworld in full view, which was unexpectedly ugly. The sun of the underworld was triangular, and it seemed to have many patterns on it, resembling the ugly face of a demon.

Lucifer explained from the side, "This is the sun of our underworld, called the Sun of Demons. The sun in the realm of gods is shaped like a fairy and is called the Sun of Angels. Alright, let's go back to the underworld first..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 679 Encounters in the Underworld

In the Mad God Universe, in the desolate border region where the Celestial Realm and the Underworld meet, four streaks of light streaked across the sky, rapidly flying towards the Underworld.

Lucifer led the way, followed closely by Lei Xiang and Fan Ri Tianlong, while Yan lagged behind. However, he occasionally vanished into nothingness, easily catching up with the three ahead.

The speed difference between the four also reflects the difference in their cultivation levels. Lucifer, Lei Xiang, and Fan Ri Tianlong all possessed at least the cultivation and combat power of a first-level god. In terms of cultivation, all three were stronger than Yan, but Yan had a variety of methods and was first-rate at preserving his life.

"We're about to enter the Underworld," Lucifer suddenly reminded them. Yan and Lei Xiang both looked ahead, and a vast, dark forest came into view.
