Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan envisioned this grand plan in his mind, and as he rubbed his forehead with his fingers, he infused some energy into it. The life seed emitted a faint golden light, and the life energy nourishing his divine body brought him great joy.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Yan's mind: could he summon Ah Yin, the incarnation of the Tree of Life? The energy from the Seed of Life had already made his body feel comfortable; wouldn't the energy from the Tree of Life be even more abundant?

He, the Great God King Yan, has worked tirelessly for the Douluo Continent for so many years and made great contributions. It's only right that he enjoys himself. He doesn't want to continue singing or dancing or anything like that. He just wants to relax. The Tree of Life shouldn't refuse such a small request, right?

As Yan muttered about Ah Yin, the situation on the Abyss Battlefield had changed again. The Tree of Life's act of bearing fruit seemed to have damaged its vitality, and even with the continuous conversion and refinement of a large amount of negative abyss energy, it still couldn't produce any significant changes.

Fortunately, the Abyss Plane cooperated well, sending over a large number of Abyss monsters as if they were free. With such abundant energy supply, a large amount of life energy was converted out, and the Tree of Life trembled and changed once again.

Its small branches began to grow upwards and thicken, new blades of grass split open, and the whole plant began to grow strong.

The constant infusion of abundant life energy caused its growth rate to accelerate. Leafy blades and twigs sprouted and spread outwards, their intense vitality creating an indescribable sensation.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, a green light appeared and disappeared, gradually growing stronger from the initial weakness of the golden light. A rich life force spread outwards in layers, and the abyss cave, which could barely maintain its balance, was forcefully suppressed.

A sapling that was only three feet tall suddenly grows ten times larger. A tree that is ten meters tall is considered extremely tall for ordinary tree species. However, for the Tree of Life, this is just the beginning, but the significance of this beginning is also extraordinary.

...Just as the Tree of Life took root and sprouted, deep within the Abyss Plane, numerous Abyss Lords were engaged in heated discussions. The information brought by the possessed demon was too shocking for them, and most Abyss Lords were somewhat uncertain about continuing their attack on the Douluo Continent Plane.

A gigantic, blood-red vertical pupil slowly lit up, and the Abyss Saint King himself appeared to preside over the assembly. His chilling voice echoed throughout the surroundings.

"The deaths of Six Claws and the Ant King, the collapse of two layers of the Abyss—we have already lost one percent of our essence. This war has dragged on to a point where we can't simply stop it. With the Tree of Life, dealing with us has become much easier for them, and they will inevitably intensify their offensive, hoping to gain even more. If we choose to make a drastic sacrifice, the price we pay will only be greater. If we choose to run away, how difficult will it be to compensate for the one percent loss of our essence? Moreover, we must worry about whether more planes will be completely destroyed when they counterattack, and the price we pay will only be greater. Are you willing to gamble like that?" The Abyss Saint King's words silenced all the Abyss Lords. Six Claws and the Ant King were considered strong among the thirty-six lords, yet they were still easily killed. If that human world were to counterattack, their escape would be difficult to achieve, and how many more layers of the Abyss would be destroyed then?

The top-ranking Abyss Lords couldn't help but frown. They weren't afraid of being counterattacked, but they also had to consider their subordinates and vassals. Moreover, for countless years, they had been the ones taking over the Abyss plane, and now that two layers of the Abyss had been taken from them, they were furious just thinking about it.

At this moment, the Abyss Saint King spoke again: "The Tree of Life taking root will increase the difficulty of our attack, but it also gives us the opportunity to completely eliminate them. Originally, if the Seed of Life had always been attached to the body of a strong person, like the Beast God Di Tian with the Dragon King's Claw, it would have been extremely troublesome to deal with. But now that it has taken root, it also gives us the opportunity to destroy the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is not an incomparably powerful ancient tree; it is definitely fragile before it has reached its peak. If we seize this opportunity and successfully destroy it, countless beings in that plane will be greatly affected, causing the plane to turmoil, and it will be incredibly easy for my Abyss to devour it. This Emperor has decided to tear open the passage at all costs and destroy humanity as soon as possible. This matter requires the blood sacrifice of all lords. Those who are willing to sacrifice themselves and contribute to the passage, I guarantee that there will be no obstacles when they are resurrected in the future..." The cold voice echoed in the deepest part of the Abyss. One after another, the Abyss Lords chose to sacrifice themselves, mainly because the Abyss Saint King had given them too much this time: a promise of resurrection, that they would not be deprived of their imperial throne, and an increase in their own ranking, all of which were directly related to their strength.

Sacrificing once only takes a little time to revive, and this time there is no need to worry about the risk of losing the throne. As long as you come back to life, you can directly get the benefits. Such a good thing naturally made many lords sign up to sacrifice themselves.

Deep within the Abyss Plane, numerous weaker lords lined up. The first ten Abyss Lords deliberately self-destructed, unleashing a torrent of pure Abyss energy that swept across the heavens and earth. This Abyss energy surged wildly into the passage, like monsters tearing at the cracks, attempting to inject even more Abyss energy.

Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent world, as the life energy grew stronger, the light of the Tree of Life became increasingly brilliant, even rendering the Abyss Cave useless due to the interruption of its flow. However, an accident still occurred, with numerous cracks spreading throughout the entire Abyss Cave.

Without warning, an even more violent abyssal tide surged forth, and the Tree of Life was the first to be hit, with large swathes of green light instantly scattered and destroyed.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack..." The alarm sounded rapidly across the battlefield, and countless soldiers who were already on guard reacted quickly, activating a large number of defensive measures instantly.

At the same time, deep within the abyss plane, ten abyss lords completely collapsed and perished in the world. A wisp of their souls was carried back to the core of their respective planes by the Seed of Life, making full preparations for their future resurrection.

The ten lords had fallen, yet the enemy's basic fortifications suffered little damage. This was hard for the Abyss Lords to accept, and some complained, "Holy Lord, the price is too high. The sacrifice of ten kings is probably not enough. Should we..."

"Shut up! If ten isn't enough, then fifteen. If fifteen isn't enough, then twenty. We absolutely cannot give humanity a chance to recuperate..." The Abyss Saint King gave a death order, and naturally, not many abyssal creatures dared to object. As a result, many weaker abyssal lords chose to sacrifice themselves.

This isn't because they're being masochistic; it's simply the rule of the Abyss. With their strength, the chances of them perishing in the human plane are too high. Compared to complete death, this self-sacrifice at least offers the possibility of resurrection, with lower risks and substantial rewards—isn't that exactly what spoiled brats dream of?

"Rumble, rumble..." After the Abyss Saint King issued his command, the Abyss Plane shook violently once again. In an instant, the laws were disordered, and countless weak Abyss creatures disintegrated in their respective planes.

As the Abyss Saint King gazed upon the terrifying scene of mountains collapsing, the earth splitting, and winds swirling, his blood-red eyes flashed, and his murderous aura erupted instantly, making the already chaotic Abyss Plane even more disorderly.

"Open for me!!!" The Abyss Saint King's deep roar was chilling. Immediately afterwards, the aura of the commander Li Guang suddenly spread outward, and a blood-red light pierced through countless layers of barriers, slamming hard into the passage seal composed of thousands of golden runes.

Chapter 713 The Bear Lord's Violence

"Boom!"

A streak of blood-red light pierced the heavens and the earth. Amidst the violent roar, the abyss cave, which had been gradually calming under the light of life, instantly exploded. Thick streams of black energy surged out, condensing into countless abyssal creatures that rushed madly toward the exit of the passage.

Powerful auras surged forth, with over a hundred top-tier Abyss races at the Title Douluo level alone, and at least five high-ranking Abyss Emperors descending upon the Douluo Continent.

At the center of the vast abyss army, the Black Emperor, clad entirely in black leather with two black wings spread across her back, issued commands. Her vibrant eyes were filled with a chilling intensity. As the Black Emperor pointed her right hand toward the exit, thousands of abyss creatures surged forth.

"This guy's true form is incredibly powerful!"

Pope Hu Liena of the Spirit Hall made a personal appearance, and many Title Douluos and high-level spirit beasts also gathered at the front line. The beautiful women who commanded the two armies looked at each other. Although her cultivation was slightly inferior, Hu Liena was not inferior to her opponent in terms of aura.

The Abyss has 108 levels. Apart from the Abyss Saint King, only the top ten emperors can be called emperors. They have a transcendent status in the Abyss. The Black Emperor is the emperor of the ninth level and the strongest member of the Black Emperor Clan.

Her cultivation level is very high; she is a genuine demigod-level powerhouse. There are eight other powerhouses of the same level as her in the Abyss. It can be said that in terms of foundation, the Abyss is indeed stronger than Douluo Continent.

This time, the Abyss Plane spared no effort to open the seal by utilizing the previous gaps, with the Black Emperor himself personally overseeing the central command, demonstrating their determination.

After the five Abyss Emperors appeared, they did not attack immediately. Instead, they hovered in the depths of the passage with the Black Emperor at the center, as if they wanted to continue to expand the Abyss Passage.

Countless abyssal creatures surged outwards like a geyser, causing the defenses of the Douluo Continent to suddenly become strained.

"The Soul Guidance Force must unleash its strongest firepower and eliminate these guys."

Hu Liena responded calmly, and the artillery support from the Soul Guidance Force quickly intensified. Explosions echoed throughout the abyss passage, and countless energies rose up, creating a tidal ocean of energy storms.

The dead abyssal creatures transformed into thick abyssal energy, which, under the control of a group of abyssal emperors, surged back into the abyssal passage, while subsequent abyssal creatures continued their frenzied charge.

In order to expand the offensive, the Abyss Plane has made enough sacrifices this time. Even dozens of Abyss Emperors have self-destructed. Naturally, they will not care about the sacrifice of these ordinary Abyss creatures below. A large number of Abyss creatures are transformed into energy and continue to impact. Even the Soul Guidance Array of Douluo Continent cannot convert the energy in time.

Suddenly, Ah Yin, who was surrounded and protected by many soul beasts beside Hu Liena, spoke up: "The Abyss Cave is spreading, we must suppress them."

Hu Liena said with some concern, "If you make a move on the battlefield, it will expose that you are the incarnation of the Tree of Life, and then they will target you."

"Even if I don't take action now, this matter can't be covered up for long."

Ah Yin shook her head, then raised her right hand, and as the blue-gold light entered the Tree of Life, the Tree of Life, which had been suppressed by the surging abyssal aura, suddenly shone brightly.

A torrent of green-gold life shot straight into the sky, instantly annihilating the abyssal energy that was constantly rising above the sky. The abyssal energy, though numerous, was of insufficient quality and was rapidly transformed by the soul-guiding array. The refining and devouring speed of the Tree of Life also increased to its peak, and the original ten-meter-tall tree grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's her, kill her."

The Black Emperor and his Abyss Lords immediately locked onto Ah Yin, and with her shout, a large number of Abyss powerhouses swarmed out.

"Take care of them."

Hu Liena also issued an order, and the strongmen from the Douluo Continent went to intercept the duel. The top experts from both sides clashed fiercely in the sky.

Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin's entire body radiated an extremely dazzling holy light. As she clasped her hands together to form an exquisite hand seal, the life-giving green light that had dispersed the flood of negative energy from the abyss in the sky continued to condense into a brilliant beam of light, which shot towards the position of the Black Emperor.

The Black Emperor was positioned directly above the Abyss Cave, with countless ordinary abyssal creatures surging out below. If the abyssal tidal wave were temporarily interrupted, the abyss's offensive would inevitably encounter difficulties, and the situation could collapse in just a few breaths. Therefore, she naturally could not retreat now.

The Black Emperor didn't even need to speak; the twelve Black Emperors beside her, who were clearly smaller than her but whose bodies were shrouded in black mist, attacked simultaneously.

The six Black Emperors stood in a six-pointed star formation, their black mists forming a protective array around the central Black Emperor, while the other six Black Emperors had already taken to the air.

The thick black mist emanating from their bodies surged upwards. The moment it came into contact with the light of life, a large amount of the black mist was instantly evaporated, but some of it actually swallowed a tiny bit of the light of life and then turned into part of the black mist.

Even with the Black Emperors going all out, the Light of Life couldn't completely annihilate the massive number of abyssal creatures, temporarily blocking the source. However, under the illumination of the Light of Life, the combat power of the abyssal creatures was greatly affected, and the originally dangerous battle situation stabilized.

The six Black Emperors took flight, and the other abyssal creatures immediately swarmed around them. They all released thick black mist, which seemed to be a completely transformed abyssal energy, condensed like slurry and obscuring the sky. Soul-guided cannonballs and rays fell into it, but were as powerless as mud oxen entering the sea.

This is the Black Devouring Demon Mist that the Black Emperor Clan is famous for. It has the super-powerful ability to devour all objects and energy and convert them into its own power to a certain extent. It is both offensive and defensive, and all their abilities are derived from the Black Devouring Demon Mist.

A large amount of black demonic mist formed a layer of black mist defense above the heads of the abyss creatures, blocking some of the long-range soul-guided attacks. Although the soul-guided devices in Douluo Continent are developing rapidly at this stage, they are still difficult to pose a threat to the level of Title Douluo.

"I'm not good at fighting, these guys are all in your hands."

Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin slowly withdrew the green light of life. The burst of energy just now had put a lot of pressure on her, especially since she was not good at combat and had few attack methods. She was only able to achieve an effect by using high-quality life energy to naturally restrain the abyssal creatures.

"Mr. Xiong, please lend a hand."

Hu Liena looked at the burly man carefully protecting the Blue Silver Emperor. He was Xiong Jun, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts and the strongest member of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan.

"Hey! Leave it to me!"

A cruel smile crept across Xiong Jun's lips, and his hands instantly transformed into dazzling golden claws, while his body rapidly expanded.

A colossal body plummeted from the sky into the endless abyss of surging tides. The nearly twenty-meter-tall giant bear was covered in a thick, heavy layer of dark golden fur, and its arms were incredibly long, hanging down to its sides and extending beyond its knees.

At the end of these extremely thick and exaggerated bear arms are two enormous bear paws that constantly emit a dark golden light.

"Aww~~~"

Xiong Jun roared to the sky, two red lights flashing in his eyes. A powerful shockwave created a vacuum zone with a diameter of 100 meters around him, instantly pulverizing the abyssal creatures in the area into energy.

His enormous arms spread out, and his massive body soared upwards. His already enormous body grew even larger, and his arms slowly rose, unleashing terrifyingly long, dark gold claws with sharp, golden light.

In an instant, black crack-like lights flickered around its claws. Even without moving its sharp edge, its mere aura distorted the space around it.

Xiong Jun moved. He made a very human-like movement, swinging his two huge arms upwards from in front of him, palms outwards. Terrifying dark gold filled the sky in the next moment, and each claw transformed into a terrifying dark gold blade hundreds of meters long.

The enormous, dark golden claw seemed poised to tear the entire sky apart. The terrifying sight shocked even the five Abyss Emperors who had been stationed in the central army, for they could not withstand such an attack. Even the Black Emperor felt a chill run down his spine upon witnessing this scene.

Wherever the ten dark gold claws passed, the air was completely torn apart. From the torn space, faint shrieks could be heard, and even the faint starlight in the darkness could be seen.

Ten golden beams of light intertwined and streaked across the sky, causing the destruction of vast numbers of abyssal creatures within a hundred meters of their passage. The layer of black demonic mist in the sky collapsed and was destroyed after only a moment of support, revealing six heavily wounded Black Emperors who charged towards the Bear King below with sharp screech.

Xiong Jun's tall body stood firm as a mountain. He didn't even try to dodge. His dark golden eyes, which shone with a blood-red light, were filled with disdain. He simply swung his body sideways and rammed into Xiong Jun.

His entire body hair emitted a strong golden light, and for a moment, he shone like a sun. The four Black Emperors were directly knocked away, and they couldn't even brush against a single golden hair of Xiong Jun.

"Roar~~~"

With a furious roar, Xiong Jun swung his claws out, his thick arms spread wide at his sides. Suddenly, he raised his dark gold claws high and grabbed the two Black Emperors who were caught off guard.

"Boom boom..."

With two muffled thuds, several clumps of flesh and blood were revealed from the dazzling golden bear paws. The two Black Emperors, comparable to Title Douluo, died so easily. This scene truly shocked countless powerful figures on both sides.

Once Xiong Jun made his move, he wouldn't stop so easily. His blood-red eyes locked onto the sky above the abyss cave, and his pair of golden claws swept across the sky as if splitting the heavens and earth, slashing towards the Black Emperor.

A terrifying scene unfolded: from his pair of dark golden claws, ten golden blades, each a thousand meters long, pierced the sky, tearing open ten enormous rifts.

Chapter 714 Emperor Tian Reappears

A terrifying thousand-meter-long claw swept across the sky, tearing open a vast expanse of abyssal black mist and rapidly engulfing countless abyssal monsters, ripping them to shreds in an instant.

This is Xiong Jun's strongest attack, the Sky-Tearing Claw. He once tried to challenge Di Tian's authority, and with this attack, he even injured Di Tian, ​​who was in the form of a true dragon.

Of course, the consequences of this incident were severe; he was severely punished by Di Tian. Di Tian spared his life only because he valued his strength. Otherwise, he would have long since become Di Tian's food.

When Xiong Jun unleashed his Sky-Tearing Claw, none of the Black Emperors dared to block it. Top-tier abyssal creatures possess intelligence and are not mere expendable objects; they certainly wouldn't do anything useless.

Unfortunately, their fate was sealed the moment they made their move. Ten golden beams crisscrossed and flew through the sky, and the remaining ten Black Emperors exploded without a trace. The speed at which the Sky-Tearing Claw pierced through space was too fast, and even the Black Emperor couldn't react in time.

After tearing apart the ten Black Emperors, the ten golden beams hesitated slightly before all of them blasted towards the location of the Black Emperor.

"You bastard!!!"

The Black Emperor unleashed astonishing destructive power. Positioned in the center of the five kings, her figure flickered slightly, and ten intersecting dark golden rays illuminated her body. The Black Emperor's expression was icy, and her disc-shaped black hair at the back of her head suddenly grew longer.

The deep blackness spread rapidly, as if a huge black hole had opened up behind her, and she herself was the core of the entire black hole. With a slight twist of her waist, all the light above the abyss cave, and even the golden light of the Sky-Tearing Claw, was instantly swallowed up.

The kilometer-long Heaven-Rending Golden Claw instantly shortened by a third before crashing into the black hole. The black hole was deep and dark, and the Heaven-Rending Golden Claw disappeared instantly upon entering it.

But in the next instant, the sky above the abyss cave clearly trembled and distorted, a burst of dark golden light surged out from the black hole, and the entire passage shook violently as well.

A large number of abyssal creatures shattered and turned into abyssal energy in this seemingly weak spatial tremor. Some of the abyssal energy was absorbed back into the abyssal plane, while the rest flew towards the soul guidance arrays in all directions and was transformed into beneficial energy for the Douluo Continent plane.

After the Black Devouring Demon Mist completely swallowed the ten golden lights, the black hole gradually contracted, and the Black Emperor returned to his original appearance. His face, flushed slightly, was full of anger, and his eyes were fixed on Xiong Jun. "How dare you... I will definitely cook your bear paw alive."
