Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

This illusory figure moved at incredible speed, like a shadow layered within the turbulent energy currents. It even benefited from the amplification of the energy currents to some extent, making its speed truly astounding.

However, before it could even appear, it was met with a huge hammer. Although Xiaotian Douluo Tang Xiao had been stagnant all these years, his talent was undeniable. After seeing Ah Yin resurrected, he seemed to have rekindled his fighting spirit and recently broke through to level 98.

Tang Xiao's talent was indeed among the best in the previous era of Douluo Continent. He reached level 97 through his own hard work. Among his generation, only a handful of people, such as Qian Xunji and Tang Hao, could rival him. If it weren't for a series of experiences, he might have gone even further.

Tang Xiao, at level 98, wasn't particularly dazzling in this era, but the power of the Clear Sky Hammer was undeniable. Now that this almost invisible powerhouse had been discovered, there was no reason for him to escape unscathed.

A jet-black hammer light swept out, and the semi-invisible, mantis-like creature reacted swiftly, its hand flashing as a blade cleaved through space with an incredibly sharp aura.

Tang Xiao's senses were extremely sharp. In that instant, his world seemed to split in two after the opponent's slash, and he felt as if the whole world was collapsing to both sides.

Tang Xiao's expression remained unchanged. He ignored the sharp blade aimed at him and continued to unleash a sweeping attack with his hammer. This was the simplest movement for him; this strike was entirely an instinctive response, not a judgment based on sight.

Those at their level of strength rely most on their instinctive reactions during battle. This is a skill honed through countless trials, a natural consequence of their mental power. While the naked eye can often deceive, it is extremely difficult to conceal one's instinctive mental power.

The blade eventually struck Tang Xiao, but what was originally a sure-fire strike turned into a shocking burst of emerald light the instant it struck. A powerful life force emanated from Tang Xiao's body, and his previously severe wounds quickly healed.

At the same moment the blade struck his body, his Haotian Hammer also slammed into the void, at the location where the illusion had appeared.

When the hammer struck, the entire space seemed to collapse. The original phantom vanished, leaving only the blade's light. A figure was thrown out from the collapsed air.

This abyssal creature, resembling a mantis, is entirely dark gold in color and appears much smaller than the ordinary abyssal scythe, measuring only about two meters in length.

At this moment, its chest had completely collapsed. One of its scythes was broken, and a large amount of abyssal energy gushed out from the wound.

The one who launched the sneak attack was none other than the Abyss Evil Scythe King, Scythe Emperor. His surprise attack was very effective, but he chose the wrong target.

Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin ultimately couldn't ignore Tang Xiao, an old friend. Before Tang Xiao entered the abyss, Ah Yin performed a life blessing on him, giving him almost an extra life. As long as he didn't die directly, he could quickly recover with the life blessing.

In this situation, if they trade blows, the one who will suffer is the Abyss Scythe King. With its high attack and weak defense, it is an agile assassin. Now that it has exposed itself, it has undoubtedly put itself in a life-or-death crisis.

Xie Yue, who was besieging the Black Emperor in the sky, suddenly flew back as quickly as a swallow returning to its nest. His body radiated golden light in mid-air, while Hu Liena on the ground also showed strange phenomena.

A golden light shone in the sky, carrying a golden thread as it disappeared into Hu Liena's body. A pink sun appeared on the abyss, and an eerie figure moved through the mist. After many years, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Enchantress, reappeared.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue joined forces to unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Xie Yue's cultivation level was close to that of a Super Douluo, while Hu Liena was almost at the level of a Limit Douluo demigod. Their fusion resulted in a terrifying burst of power in a short period of time, reaching the level of a god.

The eerie domain of demonic mist rapidly expanded, and the once invincible abyssal monsters on the battlefield were filled with fear—this was an oppression at the very essence of life.

The first to suffer and personally experience the power of the demon was the injured Scythe King. It was severely injured by Tang Xiao's counterattack. Just as it was about to leave, it felt a blur before its eyes. In an instant, the stars shifted and the world was reversed. Everything around it seemed to become illusory in an instant.

The next instant, he was horrified to discover that his forward speed was wrong. Instead of getting away from the battlefield, he was rushing towards the demon like a moth to a flame.

The Scythe Emperor was terrified. With its high attack and low defense, it was a fragile creature. Facing the near-god-level burst damage of the Demon King, it had no chance of winning.

At this moment, it fully demonstrated its potential to advance to the Emperor level. Its wings suddenly vibrated rapidly, forcibly halting its charge. Not only that, its body also became ethereal. Then, it swayed, conjuring countless afterimages, and simultaneously swooped down in all directions.

A hint of disdain flashed in the bewitching eyes, and then with a simple slash of his two moon blades, he actually tore a crack in the space in front of him.

As the phantom of the Scythe Emperor was fleeing at high speed, his true form suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear, and his whole body seemed to tremble.

It instinctively swung its only intact scythe in one direction, but it was too late. Amidst the spurt of blood, half of its body dissipated into abyssal energy, and a sinister figure appeared beside it.

With a casual slash of her dark gold twin blades, the Demoness easily shattered the Scythe Emperor's body into countless fragments, not even surviving a single breath. The Scythe Emperor was dead.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, strange phenomena reappeared in the Abyss, with violent tremors and roars resounding once more—the tremors of the Abyss plane itself. Dark clouds gathered, and blood rain fell. The fall of powerful beings stirred the Abyss's heart; if things continued this way, it would definitely tilt in the Abyss's favor.

Just as the demon was about to finish off the Scythe Emperor, a golden light shot out, and the abyssal energy that the Scythe Emperor's body was trying to escape after being torn apart was almost instantly absorbed by the golden light.

The golden light merely circled the void once before the Scythe Emperor's energy vanished completely. Meanwhile, parts of the Abyssal Scythe Clan exploded, transforming into clusters of abyssal energy. Under the golden light's influence, all the abyssal energy they had transformed into was drawn in and absorbed.

All of this happened extremely quickly; the King of the Abyss Scythe, the Scythe Emperor, had already fallen, and the consequences were only just beginning.

Chapter 725 Emperor-level Abyss Core

Spirit fusion skills are rare in Douluo Continent. This was the first time a spirit fusion skill of god-level was used in the battle against the Abyss. Therefore, it was able to achieve great success in the battle and kill the Abyss Evil Scythe King, who was second only to the Scythe Emperor in the Evil Scythe Clan.

"How did she suddenly become so strong?"

The fall of the Scythe Emperor also made many powerful figures in the abyss wary, especially the Black Emperor, who had presided over many wars. He was uneasy and was preparing to summon the Enchantress Emperor to share the pressure so that she could escape. However, the Demon Emperor was enraged by the death of the Scythe Emperor and launched an attack.

"Roar~~~"

The Demon Emperor roared to the sky, and his enormous body, over a hundred meters tall, suddenly changed. His wings flapped, and the entire sky darkened.

This is the Demon Emperor's Dark Domain, a domain ability similar to that possessed by top experts in the Douluo Continent. The overwhelming blackness brought immense pressure, and many titled experts clearly felt their soul power circulation begin to sluggish.

They felt as if they were in a land without magic, where all the energy molecules in the air were disappearing at an alarming rate, as if the energy of the entire space had been swallowed up by the dark sky.

"Is this all you've got? You dare to show off your meager skills in such a trivial way?"

Beast God Emperor Tian coldly released a cloud of black clouds. The terrifying dark tide instantly suppressed this dark realm. In the realm of darkness, the Black Dragon King has always been at the top, and the Demon Emperor's realm is simply a natural counter to it.

The battle between the Demon Emperor and Di Tian intensified, while on the other side, the Black Emperor and the Golden Crocodile Douluo were also fighting. However, due to the death of the Scythe Emperor, she had already decided to retreat and was now fighting and retreating.

However, her unease quickly turned into reality as a streak of blood-red light swept across, its target none other than the Black Emperor Clan, who were being suppressed by Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Damn it! Help me!"

The Black Emperor cursed angrily, and then actually called for help from the Ba'an clan below. Facing the sword light of the god-level demon, black light bands swept out from behind her, forming a huge black hole.

A massive amount of devouring power swept across the area, while the Black Emperor himself quickly merged into the black hole, attempting to counter the demon's sword with endless devouring.

"Pfft~~~"

The crimson divine sword shone brightly, traversing the void in an instant, as if tearing the entire sky apart. The Black Emperor groaned as he fell out of the black hole, which shattered and released a large amount of abyssal energy.

The demon soared into the air and unleashed another sword strike. It seemed unremarkable, but the Black Emperor felt an extreme sense of powerlessness.

For the first time, a resolute look appeared in the eyes of this Black Emperor. She knew in her heart that she had no choice but to fight desperately. Her long, jet-black hair moved without wind, and she cupped her hands to her heart, whereupon a ball of purplish-black light appeared.

The Black Emperor was able to become one of the Ten Great Emperors of the Abyss because of his absolute power. The moment this purplish-black light appeared, everything around it distorted.

Even the god-level demonic crimson sword light was involuntarily deflected to one side. At the same time, the Black Emperor's entire body had completely turned purplish-black.

She threw out a ball of light from her hand. It looked like an ordinary ball of light, but when it flew out, it was heavier than a mountain.

The Ten Great Emperors of the Abyss each possess their own trump card. Only they can truly mobilize the power of the Abyss plane. At this moment, what the Black Emperor holds is the core of the plane she resides on, which contains numerous Black Emperors.

A royal-level Abyss Lord is the core of the Abyss itself and cannot exist outside of it. Once the core is destroyed or devoured, the entire Abyss is doomed. This is the case with the Abyss Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King. When the Seed of the Plane, which is the core of the Abyss, is broken, the entire Abyss is destroyed.

However, once you reach the Emperor level, it's a different story. Abyss Emperor-level powerhouses can truly mobilize the power of the Abyss Core.

With the Abyss Core, they can concentrate all the energy of their own layer onto themselves, absorbing and devouring the power of all their people and transferring it all to themselves.

The advantage of this grafting method is that it can instantly boost one's strength. However, it also has a very obvious drawback: the energy consumed cannot be recovered through ordinary means.

There are only two ways to recover: one is for the abyss to recover through its own years of recuperation, and the other is to devour a sufficiently large amount of life energy.

The Black Emperor's use of her core to fight for an extended period of time could cause her clan's ranking in the Abyss to drop. Once she falls out of the top ten, she will no longer be an Abyss Emperor-level powerhouse.

Furthermore, if the time drags on and the core power is completely exhausted, the entire Black Emperor clan will perish. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Abyss Emperor-level powerhouses will never use their plane's core power.

Faced with the heavy, purplish-black orb of light that was being hurled at him, even the handsome, enigmatic face of the god-level demon became more somber. He stepped back slightly, revealing the sharp edge of the divine sword in his hand.

"The Blood-Red Waltz!"

The voice emanating from the divine-level enchantress was clearly a female voice. The one currently in charge of the battle was naturally Hu Liena, who had a stronger cultivation level. In her enchantress state, she was unable to use any soul ring skills, but her own domain and self-created skills remained unaffected.

What she is currently unleashing is the Asura Hell level, which is the evolution of the Killing God Domain to a materialized killing intent attack. She combines this with the skills she has created, and rings of blood light sweep out, with the materialized killing intent tearing everything apart.

The killing intent in the Asura Hell materialized into a tangible attack, capable of tearing apart even divine-level powers. A blood-red six-pointed star appeared beneath the demon, and in that instant, the demon's aura surged to its peak, and the Blood Waltz instantly enveloped the Black Emperor.

"Help me!"

! ”

The Black Emperor was enveloped in bloody light, but in an instant she realized that this was an attack she could not withstand. She cried out even more desperately for her life. At this moment, a mountain of flesh on the ground finally shot out and blocked her way. The Black Emperor couldn't help but show a look of joy.

"die!"

The goddess-level enchantress uttered only a single cold word, and her figure suddenly appeared in front of the incredibly heavy abyss core. The blood-red divine sword in her hand concealed its sharpness as she thrust out, and the two collided, resulting in an indescribable change.

The plane core that the Black Emperor had launched solidified in mid-air, while the brilliance of the crimson divine sword burst forth in an instant. The joy on the Black Emperor's face, which was hiding behind the mountain of flesh, was instantly replaced by terror.

She felt as if an extremely tall, blood-red figure had appeared in her spiritual sea, and the entire Black Emperor Plane that she represented was under the judgment of this person in front of her.

"Asura - Judgment!"

As the god of punishment, the Asura God possesses the authority to judge everything, and this authority is invincible in battle.

With a single thrust of the divine sword, the Asura Judgment was unleashed. Even a powerful abyss core, as strong as an Emperor-level being, crumbled instantly under such power.

"Boom!"

The Emperor-level Abyss Core froze instantly, then was engulfed by the burst of blood-red light, disappearing without a trace after a muffled thud. The Black Emperor's body stiffened instantly, her expression freezing. Having lost her dimensional core, her body began to disintegrate.

A blinding flash of blood swept across the scene, the darkness vanished, and not even a trace of escaping abyssal energy remained. The Black Emperor was dead. The Black Emperor clan was annihilated.

Boom!

! ”

The entire Abyss Plane suddenly trembled, with violent roars and earth-shaking tremors. Not only countless creatures of the Abyss, but even the creatures on Douluo's side could clearly feel the mournful cries emanating from the Abyss Plane.

The death of the Emperor-level expert caused the eighth layer of the Abyss to shatter, making the entire Abyss world tremble.

"The Black Emperor has actually fallen. Could it be that those two made their move?"

In the deepest part of the abyss, the Abyss Saint King, who was still continuously channeling abyssal power to attempt the plane to overlap, suddenly stopped. He would naturally sense the fall of the Black Emperor. At this moment, his biggest worry was that a god-level powerhouse would invade, which would force him to go out and fight the enemy, causing all his current efforts to be in vain.

"So it was the Pope of the Spirit Hall. I underestimated them. However, we can't let them continue like this."

In a flash, the Abyss Saint King understood everything. He realized that it was Hu Liena and Xie Yue who had suddenly unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Technique to kill the Black Emperor. He was somewhat relieved. Then, with a thought, a divine light flew to the third level of the Abyss.

In the third layer of the abyss, Emperor Lie, who was constantly watching the battle, was suddenly stunned as a beam of light shot towards him.

After the light faded, a long weapon, a divine halberd, appeared. His expression suddenly changed to one of surprise and joy. He quickly knelt down respectfully and then carefully drew the divine halberd.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

Emperor Lie received the Abyss Saint's command remotely, then slowly rose, dense abyssal demonic mist gathering around him, covering his entire body in battle armor. He strode towards the lower abyss, his figure quickly disappearing into the third level of the abyss.

"The Holy Emperor has sent the Fierce Emperor to take action. It seems that the death of the Black Emperor has also caused the Holy Emperor some concern."

On the second level of the abyss, the Spirit Emperor, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at the world below. He had just sensed the departure of the Fiery Emperor and recalled that the Abyss Saint King had specifically instructed them not to take action for the time being. He naturally understood that the situation had changed.

"This Douluo Continent may seem weak, but I never expected it to harbor so many powerful figures. To completely conquer it would require a huge sacrifice. It seems I must keep a low profile from now on."

A glint of wisdom flashed in the eyes of the Spirit Emperor. He originally thought that conquering a Douluo Continent plane would not be difficult, after all, the Abyss had devoured planes of this level many times before.

The Douluo Continent plane may be somewhat mysterious, being one of the few special planes that allows their Abyss plane to leapfrog and advance, but the Abyss high-ranking officials, led by him, were not too worried before.

But after the actual invasion, he discovered that there were many divine marks in that plane, indicating that many powerful gods had been born there. Perhaps most of them had ascended to heaven, but their foundations were mostly not weak. And the subsequent developments were as expected.
