Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

The 108 Abyss Lords are the core of the 108 layers of the Abyss. Apart from the replacement of each other among the creatures of the Abyss, once an Abyss Lord completely perishes, it will cause the collapse of the entire layer of the Abyss, and all creatures of the Abyss will be completely annihilated. The energy of that layer of the Abyss will also be integrated into the dissipated and merged into the world.

What you need to do is kill as many Abyss Lords as possible, but you must be careful with the speed. If too many Abysses collapse in a short period of time, a large amount of Abyss energy will flood in, which will cause our Douluo Continent to be transformed into an Abyss Land.

Reversing this transformation is quite difficult. However, it's possible to leave behind a small area of ​​abyss land, making the higher-ups of the abyss plane believe the transformation was successful. Once the hook bites, they won't have a choice.

"I see."

Hu Liena nodded seriously. She basically understood what Yan meant. Over the years, she had grown a lot in her leadership of the Spirit Hall, and she knew how to handle many things without needing to be told.

"This plan is of paramount importance. If successful, it will allow the new God Realm to be born ahead of schedule. At that time, the Douluo Continent plane will replace the old God Realm and receive sustenance from the entire universe. We will also reap enormous benefits..."

Yan's blueprint is grand: to destroy the old god realm and create a new one, to overthrow everything and start anew to establish a new order. This has been his ambition for a long time, and now he finally has the strength to realize his dream, or rather, his ambition.

Hu Liena nestled in Yan's arms and silently closed her eyes. She didn't ask for much, but she was more than willing to help her beloved realize his dream.

……

In the northern border of the Douluo Empire, in the forbidden zone of the Abyss Battlefield, countless conscripted imperial soldiers and soul masters gathered, constructing a defensive circle a hundred miles in diameter around the crimson pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth. Inside and outside the circle were completely two different worlds.

At the center of the crimson pillar of light, a huge crater with a diameter of over a kilometer was slowly expanding. Looking down from the sky, all one could see was pitch black, with occasional low rumbling sounds, and debris was being swept into it from time to time.

Various strange creatures kept emerging from the dark cave. Most of them were killed by the Soul Masters who entered the battlefield before they even got close to the defensive line. Only a few managed to escape back into the blood-red pit and disappeared once again.

This enormous cave, with a diameter of over a thousand meters, is like a gaping maw on the ground, seemingly capable of swallowing anything.

At the edge of the crimson pillar of light in the sky, several Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall patrolled the heavens. Among them were Xie Yue and Tuoba Hong, the backbone of the former Golden Generation. They were the current Protectors of the Spirit Hall, belonging to the high-ranking officials under the Pope, and were fully responsible for everything in this area.

Tuoba Hong looked down into the abyss, a hint of lingering fear in his eyes. "This place is really dangerous. What exactly is in this so-called abyss? We're already feeling dizzy after just a few glances."

"If you hadn't been blinded by rage and wanted to rush in, you wouldn't have encountered danger. I warned you long ago that you needed to calm down, but who told you to rely on your dragon body and like to charge recklessly?"

Xie Yue was also speechless at Tuoba Hong's temper. Last time, when this fat man was in danger, if it weren't for Xie Yue's timely help, this guy might have been on his knees.

As the two were talking, the abyss below suddenly began to ripple, and both of them fell silent, making the atmosphere suddenly more solemn.

Chapter 701 Abyss Tides

"Such a dense horde of monsters, and the intense energy reaction below, could this be the so-called abyssal tide?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xie Yue and Tuoba Hong quickly made a judgment. The numerous titled Douluo in the sky also quickly dispersed to the outside of the defensive circle, and the many warriors inside the circle also quickly withdrew to the defensive fortifications.

"Boom..."

A crimson pillar of light suddenly erupted violently, and a large amount of red light rapidly surged out, accompanied by a massive horde of monsters.

The piercing, grating sound continued as one after another, gray-black creatures burst out of the cave and charged toward the fortifications.

These monsters resemble lizards, with grayish-black bodies covered in hooked spikes, and they shriek as they dart about.

"The Soul Guidance Force will immediately launch a counterattack."

Xie Yue and Tuoba Hong landed at the forefront of the defensive fortifications and decisively issued the order to counterattack, instantly causing waves of soul-guided light to ignite.

Long, slender gun barrels extended from the fortifications. These soul-guided firearms, designed for soul masters, were over two meters long, with particularly long barrels containing terrifying energy fluctuations. Naturally, their recoil and power far exceeded those of ordinary weapons, and they were only equipped by the absolute elites of the Spirit Hall.

These elite soul guide troops underwent a dramatic change in demeanor after gripping their guns. Holding their weapons firmly with both hands, their auras became even weaker, as if the sensation of breathing had disappeared. They stood there like statues, seemingly merging into their surroundings.

Standing among so many gun barrels, Tuoba Hong couldn't help but shiver. Although he was nominally one of the commanders of this Soul Guidance Force, he was inexplicably afraid every time he saw them go out, always worried that he would be riddled with bullets.

This is no joke; the weapons these people possess are truly capable of doing so. Even with his Diamond Sacred Dragon Martial Soul True Body, if he were repeatedly struck in the same spot by such a powerful soul-guided weapon, he would eventually break through his defenses and be torn to shreds.

"Puff puff……"

Beams of gray light, too invisible to be seen with the naked eye, shot out, accompanied by a cacophony of screams, as the bodies of abyssal monsters rapidly dissipated into wisps of gray mist.

“These monsters are strange. How can they turn into energy bodies after they die and return to the cave entrance?”

A golden light flashed in Xie Yue's eyes, and a pair of golden moon blades appeared in his palms. He noticed that the gray mist that appeared after the monsters were defeated was flying into the cave, and despite the fierce slaughter, the number of monsters did not decrease at all.

Xie Yue suddenly darted out, flying through the hail of bullets to the air above the seemingly breathing abyss entrance. Two golden beams shot out from his palms, and the golden crescent moons shot out, swiftly reaping the brunt of the attack just an inch above the abyss entrance.

The sounds of "poof poof poof poof" were incessant. One after another, the monsters that had just emerged from the cave were instantly pulverized by the Golden Crescent Moon, and a large amount of gray air currents that were being recycled were also harvested at the same time.

These gray currents failed to escape and were drawn back into Xie Yue's palm by his golden twin blades. As the golden light suddenly intensified, the gray mist quickly disappeared.

"This energy is very pure, and even a Title Douluo would benefit greatly from it, but it is extremely difficult to refine without the ultimate level of attributes."

Tuoba Hong approached Xie Yue, who softly recounted his discovery: "When these abyssal creatures are killed, most of their energy is reclaimed by the abyss. Therefore, even if many abyssal creatures are killed or injured, these guys don't suffer much loss."

However, the energy they expended after death was extremely pure; powerful individuals with exceptional attributes could refine it and reap considerable benefits.

Tuoba Hong said with a worry, "Damn, if that's the case, things will get really complicated. How many Soul Masters have the highest attribute? Even if we gather them all, it won't be enough."

Xie Yue immediately retracted the golden twin blades and issued an order, "You forgot about the conversion array prepared above? If I'm not mistaken, that soul-guiding array is specifically designed to deal with this situation. Have everyone activate the conversion array."

"Buzz..."

A faint humming sounded around the perimeter of the defense, and strange blue light patterns enveloped the fortifications. Countless gray mist energies were drawn away as soon as they rose, and after absorbing the blue light, they quickly evaporated into a shower of blue rain that fell inside and outside the defenses.

"This formation is truly amazing. The skill involved is incredible!"

Tuoba Hong reached out and caught a few drops of blue rain. The crystal-clear blue raindrops revealed an intense energy reaction, indicating that concentrated energy had liquefied into raindrops. This method reminded him of Yan.

Xie Yue gave him a look and then shook his head. Matters involving Yan had already been sealed off by Hu Liena herself. Even they didn't know much about these situations, but they were well aware that this must involve a higher level of power struggle.

They are now top experts in the Douluo Continent, but their current cultivation level is far from enough to get involved in these matters. What they need now is to do more and ask less, and make the most of every opportunity to improve their strength.

"Waaaaah, waaaah, waaaah..."

A large amount of gray air currents were directly plundered, and the monster frenzy in the abyss cave seemed to be decreasing. However, a series of low whistling sounds suddenly rang out again, followed by an even more intense energy burst.

"Rumble..."

A large amount of gray-black airflow surged out, and the scattered gray-black airflow crashed directly into the blue light screen surrounding the defensive perimeter. The strong impact caused the blue light screen to sway, and the entire defensive structure trembled as well.

However, the blue light barrier was very strong. Although it trembled constantly from the impact, it did not break and stood firm against the impact.

Tuoba Hong's booming voice instantly resounded throughout the fortifications, "This is the real feast of the abyssal tide! Everyone, be on high alert! After these energy surges, there will inevitably be more and stronger abyssal creatures. We'll have to deal with these monsters."

"Aww~~~"

The dark gray currents gradually weakened, and more abyssal creatures surged out. A sharp cry rang out, as if sounding the war horn, and the two sides began a fierce battle within moments.

A violent roar followed, and the light of the soul-guided weapon never stopped. Countless abyssal creatures were blown to pieces in the explosion, and extremely strong energy fluctuations surged across the battlefield.

The ranged attacks from the rear were relentless, clashing fiercely with the abyssal creatures that charged out, while the Soul Master warriors at the front were constantly finishing off the remaining creatures to prevent them from breaking through the defenses and entering the fortifications, causing casualties.

Explosions came one after another, and the piercing screams continued endlessly. The abyssal creatures seemed to have no flesh and blood at all. Even though a large amount of gray-black energy was converted into blue rain, thick gray-black mist still returned along the abyssal passage.

The battle reached a fever pitch, with the entire fortification impregnable by blue light shields and elite soul masters.

More soldiers were also thrown into the battlefield. The soldiers, carefully selected by the Douluo Empire, underwent continuous baptism by Blue Rain and also provided support to the battlefield from a distance using some weapons.

Various new weapons were continuously deployed to the battlefield. This battle was not only a test for the soldiers, but also a practical test for various weapons. This was the best battlefield for the Spirit Hall to train its troops.

This battlefield is dangerous. Although meticulous arrangements have been made, accidents can still happen, and people will still die in battle.

However, the Spirit Hall had already explained the risks before they went to the battlefield. As long as one survives on this battlefield, it is only a matter of time before an ordinary person becomes a Soul Master. The cultivation level of a Soul Master will definitely be able to break through. Everything depends on one's own will, and everyone must be responsible for their own choices.

"Peng!"

A powerful abyssal creature actually crashed into the defensive fortifications, followed by an even more violent collision. This was the first abyssal creature to break through layers of defenses and directly reach the fortifications, and its appearance meant that the intensity of the battle had increased once again.

The abyssal creatures charged with extreme ferocity, and the dense impacts made the defensive fortifications tremble. The Soul Masters and Soul Guide Warriors on the front lines dared not slacken their efforts, using all their strength to block, defend, and counterattack. Meanwhile, the warriors further back continued to unleash an even more intense offensive.

The abyssal creatures' offensive was temporarily halted, but the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall did not relax in the slightest. In particular, many of the Title Douluos surveyed the entire scene with solemn expressions. They sensed a subtle threat lurking in the shadows and were ready to strike at any moment.

Suddenly, the earth trembled violently, and dark figures leaped into the air. These figures were enormous, and their appearance immediately brought immense pressure.

"Baan, this is a high-level abyssal creature that appeared on the day the abyssal passage appeared. I didn't expect there to be so many this time. It seems that the main force of this abyssal tide should also appear."

Xie Yue and Tuoba Hong looked up and then looked away. The dozen or so Ba'an were indeed dangerous enough, but for experts of their level, they were just a matter of effort. The real threat was definitely not them.

After these Ba'an appeared, they attempted to bypass the front defensive line and directly attack the soldiers behind the fortifications.

The mid-level commanders on the scene reacted quickly, firing rows of soul-guided beams with precision. In mid-air, Baan was instantly torn to pieces, and a large amount of black air swept across the sky. However, some of Baan's limbs and flesh also fell to the ground with a sizzling sound.

"It turns out that not all abyssal creatures turn into energy upon death; these consumables were likely manufactured temporarily."

Xie Yue observed very carefully and noticed the difference between these Baan and the previous abyssal creatures. The most obvious difference was in their age. A large number of consumable abyssal creatures seemed to have been created recently, while the Baan should have been there all along.

Chapter 702 The Demon and the Black Emperor

"Watch out! Retreat quickly!"

On the fierce battlefield, a team of seven elite soul masters had just finished off Ba'an when Xie Yue's voice suddenly rang out from their depths, followed by a golden light that instantly appeared in front of them.

The fact that Xie Yue, the overall commander of the battlefield, actually took action personally surprised many people. The seven-man squad beside him reacted quickly and rushed towards the defensive fortifications.

They knew in their hearts that a creature that could provoke such a warning from an elder-level expert was definitely not something they could handle, and that their presence would only be a burden.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Boom!"

The moment Xie Yue issued the warning, intense golden light and pale green demonic light collided. After being blocked by Xie Yue three times while trying to circumvent the attack, a figure unleashed a powerful offensive. After a brief exchange, he was forced back to the edge of the cave.

A dark green figure hovered in mid-air, looking down at Xie Yue. This humanoid monster, which was only a little over two meters tall, looked very special. It had a pair of bat-like wings on its back, but its skeleton was obviously much larger. The connection was not a membrane like that of bat wings, but covered with dark green scales.

Her figure was similar to that of a human woman, but much more exaggerated than that of a normal human woman. She had huge hips, huge breasts, and a pair of eyes that burned with eerie green flames. Her waist was very thin, which was somewhat disproportionate to her huge hips.

This creature, with its incredibly attractive figure, would definitely satisfy all the fantasies of some Fury fans. However, she is not the kind of seductive demon that drains yang energy from the stories of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, but a terrifying killing monster. Her hands and feet are covered with sharp spikes, and she exudes a dangerous aura.

"Oh ho ho, it's actually a monster at the Title Douluo level! It looks pretty good. Xie Yue, why don't you let me have it? *slurp*..."

Tuoba Hong's eyes lit up when he saw the monster. It is said that a large body is good for breeding. As a successful man, he has been through many women, but he has never tried anything with such a large body. Although he may not necessarily do anything, capturing such a nice monster should be a great achievement!

"Humanity, die."

The chilling, shrill voice resounded throughout the entire area, even having a piercing effect on the soul. Xie Yue tightened his grip on the pair of golden moon blades. If he could capture this abyssal creature that could speak human language alive, he might be able to obtain some crucial information.

A dark green halo appeared along with her voice. Immediately afterward, Xie Yue sensed something was wrong. As the dark green light swept over him, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and his life force drained away at an alarming rate.

He had clearly been on high alert immediately, but it wasn't until he was hit that he suddenly realized a dark green light pattern had appeared around his body and was rapidly seeping into it.

"This is... a curse-type ability? It's very strange..."

Xie Yue's mind raced, his soul power surged wildly, a golden halo emanated from his body, and a powerful will rippled out from him.

"what……"

The dark green, malevolent creature screamed and fell backward at high speed. Under Xie Yue's golden domain, her malevolent abilities had no advantage whatsoever.

She finally managed to steady herself in the sky, and the eerie green flames in her eyes flickered violently as the evil moon, which had broken free from her curse, pounced straight at her.

The dark green, sinister creature flapped its wings and retreated swiftly. It produced a very strange weapon from somewhere, resembling both bones and a battle blade, to counter Xie Yue's series of slashes. The two figures clashed fiercely in the sky.
