Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"This is the Asura God, the head of the law enforcers in the God Realm, responsible for patrolling all potential threats in the universe. The City of Slaughter was left behind by him. The Killing God Domain that Tang Hao obtained came from his gift." Yan first introduced the figure in the sky, the Asura God, the law enforcer of the God Realm, the creator and maintainer of the rules of the God Realm.

He then pointed to the strange light that had entered the infant's body.

"This is Tang San, the one I killed. You could say he was your child, or you could say he wasn't. His soul was problematic; it wasn't the original soul that was born with your child, but a soul from outer space that replaced your child's original soul, becoming the Tang San you know." Ah Yin shook her head frantically, unable to believe it was all true.

"This, this is impossible, you're lying. Your slander of my child will only make me hate you more..."

"You may not believe me, but you should believe Tang Hao!" Yan said, clapping his hands again. A series of images rapidly changed, and Tang Hao's figure appeared in their sight.

"Brother Hao, no, it's impossible..." Ah Yin's gaze shifted from initial panic and disbelief to later refusal to accept it, and her emotions became extremely agitated.

She witnessed Tang San doing many things that defied common sense, completely unlike a normal infant. Tang Hao, who was hiding in Holy Soul Village, had been raising Tang San freely, but he was also always concerned about his child's safety and naturally noticed that something was wrong with Tang San.

If the initial free-range approach was out of necessity due to his severe injuries and limited mobility, then the later free-range behavior was more of a precaution; Tang Hao harbored suspicion towards Tang San.

Tang San's soul came from beyond the heavens. He replaced Tang Hao and Ah Yin's child through special means. With a mature worldview, he unconsciously revealed many clues in his life after gaining consciousness.

Although he concealed it well, it was completely useless against a master like Tang Hao.

Tang Hao became wary of Tang San's various unusual behaviors, which is why he ignored them for a long time. It wasn't until Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer martial souls that Tang Hao's thoughts changed, and the relationship between father and son gradually improved.

"Why would he... my child, my mistress..." After learning the 'truth' from Yan, Ah Yin covered her face and cried bitterly. She simply couldn't accept it. Her child was 'fake' from birth, his soul had been replaced. Although he continued to live and grow up, could that Tang San really be considered her child?

"Alright, stop crying. I told you all this because I thought you should know the truth, not to defend yourself." Yan helped A Yin up and continued, "Tang Hao and Tang San were killed by me. If you want to avenge them, you have to live well, become stronger, and become a god. Only then will you be qualified to cause me real trouble." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and everything around them shattered, and the two figures returned to the golden valley.

Yan placed the Blue Silver Emperor on the stem and leaves of a golden plant nearby, then walked to the ancient golden tree and placed his hand, radiating a holy light, on the tree trunk.

"I apologize for the matter concerning the Seed of Life. I am sorry for what I did to you, and I am willing to make it up to you in the future. Because you are unable to develop spiritual consciousness, you cannot transcend. I will give you this opportunity today, and I hope that we will meet again someday." Divine power gathered in Yan's palm, and a large amount of holy radiance poured into the body of the golden ancient tree. Strands of golden light continuously gathered and finally condensed into a dense golden light in the center of the tree crown.

"You are helping him evolve his consciousness." Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin appeared behind Yan at some point and looked surprised when she saw the golden light.

Since Yan can help the Golden Ancient Tree evolve its consciousness, why choose to send her here? It is very difficult for plants to develop spiritual consciousness and evolve into soul beasts. Ordinary plants actually have an advantage in this regard, while some special and rare plants find it extremely difficult to develop spiritual consciousness.

Immortal-grade spiritual herbs are a good example. They are beings that seize the creation of heaven and earth, and are thus subject to numerous calamities. Most of them have their origins stolen by other life forms before they can even develop spiritual consciousness.

The Golden Ancient Tree is also a unique species, even more precious than immortal herbs. In addition, it is the host of the Seed of Life and has always been in a state of spiritual ignorance.

Its state can be considered a form of self-protection for the seed of life; only with the help of external forces can it possibly evolve into true consciousness.

However, this process of transforming consciousness is very long, perhaps tens of thousands of years, and Yan did not want to wait that long, so he chose to send Ah Yin over.

"The evolution of the Golden Tree will take a long time, but the invasion of the Abyss is imminent. I can't wait that long," Yan explained. Then, he reached out and released a strange silver light. As the light dissipated, he and Ah Yin disappeared from the spot.

"This is my divine kingdom. You've been here before, so it shouldn't be unfamiliar to you." Yan led the Blue Silver Emperor back to his divine kingdom.

"For the time being, you'll stay here. I expect you to get things done when I need your cooperation."

“I understand.” Since Ah Yin had chosen to compromise with Yan, she naturally understood what he wanted to do. She did not resist this matter. If it weren’t for her complicated relationship with Yan before, she could even say that she was happy to do it.

"You should rest well first. You'll be busy soon." Yan gave another instruction before his figure disappeared from the spot. The divine kingdom was completely under his control. The longer Ah Yin stayed here, the deeper she would be influenced by him, and in the end, she would become the person he hoped she would be.

Chapter 709 The Fall of the Ant King

In the northern battlefield of Douluo Continent, a great battle has reached a fever pitch.

Led by Xie Yue and Tuoba Hong, a large number of powerful figures from the Douluo plane fought a protracted battle against a host of top-tier abyssal creatures that had entered the battlefield.

In the center of the battle, a monster, which was surrounded by several powerful members of the Spirit Hall but was not at a disadvantage, was ant-like. It had eight claws and its body was divided into three parts. Its head was the largest and round, with a particularly large mouth and two fangs sticking out. There were two tentacles on its head that were tens of meters long and swaying gently.

Its two tentacles swept across, leaving behind a vast expanse of thick, dark fog. Any weaker abyssal creatures that had just appeared around the cave would instantly explode into mist upon contact with it, and then be absorbed into its body by its tentacles.

Xie Yue and Tuoba Hong, along with six Title Douluo, joined forces to deal with this suddenly appearing powerful monster. Xie Yue's golden moon blade was extremely sharp, but it was difficult to inflict fatal wounds on this monster.

Tuoba Hong, in his diamond dragon form, suddenly lashed out with his tail whip. The enormous head of the ant monster suddenly transformed into a spiral shape and crashed straight into Tuoba Hong.

The spiral-shaped head began to spin rapidly, and with a piercing clang, large patches of light patterns lit up on the Diamond Sacred Dragon's body. Tuoba Hong let out a painful dragon roar and fell to the ground.

"Hahaha……"

The giant ant was thrown into the air by its massive body. It seemed a little dizzy and shook its head. Then it laughed triumphantly and spoke in human language, "How dare a mere human block my path? You really don't know what's good for you."

Don't try to stall for time. I'm not stupid. I'm no match for your Beast God, but I don't need to fight him either. I'll just deal with you and return to the Abyss. I'll come back today and again tomorrow.

My army of the Abyss is ever-flowing, while you lack that ability. This world will eventually submit to my Abyss, and you will inevitably fall. Why resist? Wouldn't it be better to surrender? Today, I will begin with this dragon below.

The Abyss Giant Ant King laughed triumphantly, its tentacles suddenly extending more than ten feet, sweeping straight towards the heavily injured Tuoba Hong below. At the same time, a dark vortex appeared behind it, from which a large number of monsters poured out, but it itself quickly retreated.

With the death of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor of the Abyss, the intensity of the war on the Abyss battlefield has further increased. The monsters of the Abyss are unwilling to give up their invasion, and the strong people of the Douluo Continent are even less likely to allow them to trample on their world.

However, the death of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor still alerted the Abyss Plane. Before deciding to expand the cave at all costs, they chose to continue sending more Abyss monsters to invade, making repeated attempts to find a way in.

Because of the repulsion between the laws of the two planes, at this stage only the bottom 36 Abyss Lords can enter the Douluo Continent plane through the cave.

The death of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor made these lower-ranking Abyss Lords realize that the Douluo Continent was not a weak and helpless woman who could be trampled on at will, but a powerful plane that could destroy them. Therefore, these Abyss Lords were extremely cautious during this period of battle.

They deliberately manipulated more monsters to attack the defensive line, while they themselves hid in the monster army to launch surprise attacks. They would also retreat very quickly after the attack, not giving powerful figures like the Beast God Di Tian the opportunity to ambush and kill them.

This Abyss Ant King is one of the Abyss Lords that have invaded most frequently during this period. The Six-Clawed Demon King is the Abyss Lord of the 97th floor, while this Ant King is ranked 76th, which is relatively high among the last 36 lords.

The jet-black tentacles swiftly swept towards the injured Tuoba Hong below, while the Abyss Ant King itself had already retreated back into the vortex.

One important reason why it has been so active these days without getting injured is that it is cautious enough. It returns quickly in less than 15 minutes after each attack, and it does not hesitate to act regardless of the outcome.

Its actions naturally caused a lot of trouble for the Douluo Continent side. In response, the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall took a series of countermeasures.

"Tuoba brat, you used to be so arrogant, weren't you? How many times have you acted recklessly because of your strong physique? Haven't you learned your lesson yet!"

A slightly feminine voice rang out from the sky. Xie Yue's eyes revealed a hint of joy, while his gaze toward the Abyss Ant King revealed a hint of killing intent.

"what happened?"

The Abyss Ant King sensed something was wrong. The owner of the voice made it uneasy. Just by hearing the voice, it could tell that the person was at least a powerhouse of its level, that is, a Super Douluo of this world. Therefore, it decisively chose to retreat even faster.

Although it was not afraid of ordinary strongmen of the same level with its strength, it was not sure if this suddenly appearing guy had the same methods as the Beast God Di Tian. For the sake of its own life, it decided to retreat first and wait for the possessed demons to find out more specific information before making any plans.

A huge chrysanthemum appeared in the sky. The chrysanthemum was a beautiful purple color, and strangely, each petal looked fluffy and adorable.

The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is an incomparably precious celestial herb, and there is only one powerful individual in the entire Douluo Continent who possesses it as their martial soul—the Super Douluo Yue Guan, who has already entered the Martial Soul Hall for secluded cultivation. Looking across the entire Martial Soul Hall, there are few who are qualified to teach Tuoba Hong a lesson, and Yue Guan is one of them.

Along with the appearance of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, two figures appeared almost simultaneously. They were yellow, purple, black ...

Top geniuses like Tuoba Hong and Xie Yue possess 100,000-year spirit rings. However, compared to these up-and-coming talents who have not yet reached their peak, the spirit ring configurations of the spirit worship hall's members are somewhat inferior. However, they have lived longer, have higher cultivation levels, and act more shrewdly.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was not considered outstanding among the strong at the same time, but he had a companion who was like a brother to Ghost Douluo Gui Mei. The strength of the two of them increased exponentially when they joined forces, so they naturally fought together this time.

"Polar stillness!"

Ghost and Yue Guan released their full soul power almost simultaneously. Yue Guan's Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum bloomed with dazzling golden flames, while Ghost's body was also adorned with brilliant silver flames.

In that instant, the nine spirit rings on their bodies lit up almost simultaneously, making the golden and silver flames on their bodies even more magnificent. They stood facing each other, their hands clasped together, and the bodies of Gui Mei and Yue Guan suddenly merged.

The eighteen spirit rings on their bodies instantly condensed into a huge gold and silver halo that quietly flew out, making the world seem to turn into gold and silver, and everything around them seemed to freeze at this moment.

The bodies of Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo vanished the moment the golden and silver halo formed. The enormous halo itself flew into the air, instantly transforming into a massive halo with a diameter exceeding one thousand meters.

The moment the enormous halo appeared, everything within the Abyss Battlefield shrouded in it froze in mid-air. Even the retreating Abyss Ant King and the dark vortex behind it were completely frozen in place, and the continuous stream of Abyss monsters abruptly stopped.

This bizarre scene shocked countless people. Even when the Beast God Emperor Tian personally took action to kill the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor, it was not as shocking as this scene.

"What kind of ability is this? Damn it! This can't go on."

The Abyss Ant King was trapped in the vortex. Although it had lost control of its body, its consciousness was still functioning. The power of the Polar Stillness Domain was too strong. Anything below the demigod level could not escape the confinement. Even with its formidable strength, it could not break through the seal quickly.

This Abyss Ant King not only cherished its life, but also had more decisiveness than the Six-Clawed Demon King. The thought of the Six-Clawed Demon King's complete death flashed through its mind, and it decisively detonated its own energy.

The Ant King's body underwent an instantaneous change. It directly activated its dimensional seed, intending to self-destruct and rush back into the abyss.

However, after planning for so long, how could the Spirit Hall possibly let the second lone Abyss Lord escape?

Just as the Ant King decided to self-destruct, a dense crimson light instantly enveloped it and the abyss vortex it was in.

A crimson giant sword slammed into the Abyss Ant King, shattering large pieces of its scales and unleashing a powerful energy surge from within its body.

"You want to self-destruct and escape? Have you even asked the sword in my hand, the Pope, for permission?"

A blood-red longsword pierced through the Abyss Ant King's chest with lightning speed. It felt as if the dimensional seed within its body suddenly stopped, as if it had encountered some natural enemy. The dimensional space, with its vast energy, began to tremble violently.

The blood-red light pierced the area where its scales had been torn open like lightning. The Abyss Ant King felt its life force draining away violently. It could feel its life rapidly fading away, and a sense of resentment and regret lingered in its heart.

It thought it had been cautious enough, only making brief attacks on Douluo Continent and retreating immediately when the time was up, never giving the enemy a chance to pursue. However, even with such caution, it still failed. At this moment, it thought of many things and even felt a sense of fear about the future of the Abyss Plane.

The Ant King's thoughts were ultimately shattered as the blood-red light swept over its entire body, and its body rapidly disintegrated into streaks of light that scattered away. The Ant King, the Lord of the Seventy-Sixth Abyss, thus perished.

With the death of the Abyss Ant King, a purple light appeared in its original location. This was another Plane Seed from the Abyss, but it was more powerful than the one from the Six-Clawed Demon King.

It desperately charged left and right, trying to break through the barrier of the God of Slaughter's Domain, but it was ruthlessly suppressed. Hu Liena, who had initiated the Nine Trials of Asura, possessed a power that was even more profound than that of ordinary gods.

Chapter 710 Seedling of Life

"This thing is really troublesome."

Above the Abyss Battlefield, with the fall of the Abyss Ant King, the unclaimed Dimensional Seed was finally suppressed by Hu Liena. She glanced at the deep purple Dimensional Seed in her hand, suppressed the distracting thoughts that kept arising in her mind, and quickly disappeared from the spot with it.

When Hu Liena's figure reappeared in the sky, she had already arrived at the location of Yan's divine kingdom. Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, awakened the Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, who was still feeling unwell. When Hu Liena saw A Yin, she instinctively frowned.

However, she knew that important matters were at hand, so she didn't say much and threw the deep purple dimensional seed away.

"Thank you."

Ah Yin smiled gently at Hu Liena, then held the Seed of the Plane that was about to take flight in both hands and slowly brought it close to her brow.

Hu Liena watched Ah Yin's movements and saw that when Ah Yin held the Seed of the Dimension in her hand, her body suddenly shone brightly, and then a beam of green light shot out from between Ah Yin's eyebrows.

Hu Liena looked at the strange phenomenon before her with surprise. In her vision, a green pattern resembling a small sapling appeared on Ah Yin's forehead. The green light just now shot out from the phantom of this small sapling.

When the green light landed on the Seed of Planes, a strange scene appeared. The Seed of Planes, which was originally extremely difficult to destroy and refine, seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and quickly melted into the green light. The green light then became substantial, eventually transforming into a branch covered with emerald green leaves.

Within Ah Yin's body, the life seed fused with the Blue Silver Emperor's true form exuded an extremely rich life aura. The revival of the Seed of Nature also meant that her identity as the Child of Nature could truly play a role. Centered on her, a large number of plants grew wildly in the Flame God Kingdom.

The Seed of Life emitted an exceptionally rich life force, completely covering every corner of Ah Yin's body. The immense life force baptized her, causing her to transform once again. Her entire body radiated a vibrant green-gold color, and the Blue Silver Emperor's true form was also rapidly transforming.

The dark purple oval crystal, the Seed of the Plane, flickered with light. The branches of the Seed of Life took root in it, with roots piercing into it. Layers of green light then surged rapidly along the branches into Ah Yin's forehead.

Peng Pai's life energy was completely absorbed into the Seed of Life. A Yin's delicate body was covered with a green-gold halo, and a serene and gentle smile unconsciously bloomed on her face.

On Ah Yin's forehead, the emerald green rune seemed to come alive, radiating dazzling light. The branches of the Seed of Life were noticeably thicker than before, and intense fluctuations of life energy surrounded her body.

In just a few breaths, Ah Yin's cultivation level underwent a tremendous change. Originally, even after fully recovering with Yan's help, she had only barely reached the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint. After fully fusing with the Seed of Life, she had roughly risen to the level of a Title Douluo.

But in just a few breaths, she actually condensed another spirit ring on her own, truly reaching the level of a nine-ring titled Douluo. The speed at which her cultivation improved was simply unbelievable.

The Seed of Life quickly took root and devoured the Seed of Planes, and the entire branch instantly turned into a jade-green color. A strong life force instantly emerged from the Seed of Life, and Ah Yin's cultivation and temperament underwent a great change.

"The Seed of the Plane has been destroyed, and another layer of the Abyss has collapsed. A large amount of Abyssal energy will flood into our plane, and may even trigger an energy tide. Let's go and solve this problem!"
