Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"I never imagined you also had such a powerful artifact."

Emperor Lie gently stroked the halberd in his hand, his gaze falling on the sword in the demon's hand. His calm voice carried an extremely unsettling emotion.

The blood-red divine sword in the demon's hand should actually be called the Asura Divine Sword. It is the inherited divine weapon of the Asura God of the God Realm. After Tang Chen died, it remained in the City of Slaughter until the God Realm disappeared. It was then brought out of the City of Slaughter by Yan and given to Hu Liena.

The halberd in the hands of the Fierce Emperor is the only divine weapon in the abyss, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd. Although this super artifact is also a halberd, it is a different type from the Trident of the Sea God. Its shape is similar to the Fangtian Halberd with a painted handle, and its entire body is blue-purple.

The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd has strange patterns, each pattern seemingly containing a very strange luster, fine and dense, like the scales of a halberd.

It didn't have a very strong aura, but the power within it was extremely terrifying, like a lurking monster that could devour someone at any moment.

Among all kinds of divine weapons, super artifacts and divine artifacts are on completely different levels. Their numbers are also limited within the same plane.

Generally speaking, apart from the realm of gods, even the most powerful plane can only produce one super artifact at most.

In the ordinary world, super artifacts are virtually impossible to exist, and even artifacts are extremely rare. This is because super artifacts must possess power that surpasses that of ordinary planes. In ordinary planes, whoever possesses a super artifact can rise above all living beings.

This situation would disrupt the dimensional balance and would definitely be subject to interference and suppression from the dimensional will. In a sense, a dimensional plane will not allow anything to exist that transcends it.

If a plane has an entity that transcends its own will, or is equal to it, then the control over that plane will be compromised.

Of course, there are always some extremely special existences in the universe, such as the Abyss Plane. It was split off from the Crimson Domain and possessed the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, a super artifact, at the beginning of the split. This super artifact played an indispensable role in enabling the Abyss Saint King to become the ruler of the plane.

The original Abyss Saint was also a member of the Abyss creatures. It was only because he obtained this super artifact that was born from the entire plane that he was able to defeat other Abyss Lords and finally reach the top.

The Douluo Continent is even more special. This ancient plane has given birth to many god-kings or first-level main gods, such as the Dragon God, the Sea God, and the Angel God. It has also been valued by many powerful beings above the god level and left behind their inheritances. Therefore, there is more than one divine artifact and super divine artifact on the Douluo Continent.

Divine artifacts and the divine weapons above them all have unique characteristics and powerful abilities. The most terrifying thing about the Heavenly Sacred Rift Abyss is its own unique characteristics.

Its characteristics are simple and clear. The Abyss Saint named it "Abyss," using the entire plane as a metaphor for the characteristics of a super artifact. The so-called Abyss actually means penetration.

No matter what defensive abilities or equipment the opponent uses, even the most powerful protective armor, it will be completely ineffective against the abyssal characteristics of the Heavenly Sacred Rift.

This characteristic is not that it is indestructible, but rather that it ignores defenses. With its powerful penetrating ability, any defense is meaningless in front of it, which is what makes it so terrifying.

This powerful characteristic of ignoring defense and achieving absolute penetration naturally comes with some limitations. The Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd cannot launch any ranged attacks; when using the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd, it can only be used in melee combat.

The purple light emitted by the halberd only extends to a maximum of three feet, which limits its attack range. However, compared to its abyssal characteristic of ignoring defense, this drawback is insignificant.

This is an extremely pure divine artifact. The Heavenly Sacred Rift is useless if it cannot directly hit an opponent. However, once it does, it will cause terrifying damage; even a god-level expert could be killed in one blow.

Now, with the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in the hands of Emperor Lie, a god-level powerhouse wielding a supreme artifact possesses terrifying combat power. Fortunately, it was the demon wielding the Asura Divine Sword who confronted him earlier; had it been someone else, they might have already been dealt with.

Above the sky, the divine demon and the Fiery Emperor were facing off, their two super artifacts radiating divine light. Only a super artifact could fight against another super artifact, and at this moment, they only had eyes for each other.

The blood-red light of the Asura Divine Sword gradually turned into crimson gold, and the aura of the divine demon also changed accordingly. A strange halo appeared on his body, and his eyes also turned crimson gold, shimmering with light.

Emperor Lie slowly raised the Heavenly Sacred Rift Abyss in his hand, pointing it towards the sky, and an indescribable sense of suffocation arose. An octagonal halo suddenly rose into the air, enveloping the divine-level demon.

As the halo appeared, Emperor Lie's body seemed to melt away, completely disappearing into the octagonal halo. This octagonal halo was a dazzling blue-purple color, and the light patterns on it seemed to contain incomparably strange laws and powers.

"Clang~~~"

A tremendous roar resounded, and the divine-level demonic creature instantly retreated, followed by immense pain that spread throughout its body. Hu Liena and Xie Yue, who were inside the demonic creature, were almost forced into a state of martial soul fusion.

They weren't directly hit, but were only touched by the purple light from the Heavenly Sacred Rift, yet they felt as if their bodies were about to disintegrate. This divine artifact is truly terrifying.

After a brief attack, the octagonal halo disappeared, and the divine demon regained its mobility. The Fiery Emperor's halberd once again charged forward to sweep, but this time the demon had the upper hand, and the blood-red light of the Asura Divine Sword pierced through the Fiery Emperor's chest first.

Chapter 728 The Ling Emperor's Outburst

Deep within the abyss, a blood-red eye constantly watched everything on the battlefield. When the Abyss Saint King saw that the Asura Divine Sword and the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd were evenly matched, the ruler of the abyss finally began to waver.

"This Douluo Continent is indeed a powerful plane that has given birth to God Kings and Main Gods. Even the Super Artifacts... We must deal with them as soon as possible."

The Abyss Saint King made up his mind, and then a divine light descended towards the second level of the abyss. This time, he had used all his trump cards. Apart from himself, he had not yet made a move and had not left any other power behind.

"Holy Ruler!"

! ”

On the second level of the abyss, the Spirit Emperor, who had been watching the battlefield closely, slowly rose. Before him was a vortex passage, a void passage directly connecting to the battlefield. The will of the Abyss Saint King had arrived. In the end, he could only sigh and summon all the Abyss Spirit Dragons.

Dozens of figures swiftly flew from the depths of the second layer of the abyss to the Spirit Emperor's front. With his command, all the abyss spirit dragons rushed to the battlefield.

……

"Roar~~~"

A resounding dragon roar suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth. A void vortex appeared above the battlefield, and a series of abyssal spirit dragons that had been lurking in the void appeared on the battlefield. The Spirit Emperor stood proudly on the head of an abyssal spirit dragon emperor, his cold gaze meeting that of two sea demon dragons in the sky.

A sudden glint flashed in the Spirit Emperor's eyes, followed by a streak of crimson light. His powerful spiritual energy expanded and then receded. The scales on the abyssal dragons changed color, turning a deep, blood-red hue.

These abyssal dragons leaped high into the air, opened their mouths, and spewed out beams of red light. The red light spread throughout the world, and although there seemed to be no particularly unusual phenomenon, the effect of this red light was astonishing. The Douluo powerhouses enveloped by it were inexplicably weakened.

This strange red spiritual light is a weak light that the Abyss Dragon Clan can only unleash after greatly depleting their vital energy. With the Douluo powerhouses being weakened, a large number of Abyss reinforcements have appeared, and the Spirit Emperor has already approached the two million-year-old sea monster dragons in the sky.

"You two are both god-level powerhouses, why would you serve as subordinates to such weak humans..."

The Spirit Emperor's eyes shone with blue light. As he spoke with the two sea dragons, he transformed, and the light in his eyes suddenly turned azure. The Spirit Emperor's body rapidly grew larger, transforming almost instantly into a deep-sea dragon about fifteen meters long.

Indeed, the body of this second strongest being in the abyss is only fifteen meters long, which is much smaller than other abyssal spirit dragons.

However, upon closer inspection, a very obvious difference becomes apparent. The Abyss Spirit Dragon that the Spirit Emperor transformed into was different in color from other Abyss Spirit Dragons. Although the Abyss Spirit Dragon he transformed into was only fifteen meters long, its entire body was azure blue.

Moreover, after he completed his transformation, the abyssal energy permeating the air suddenly surged toward him like madmen.

With a large influx of energy into his body, the Spirit Emperor's aura underwent a noticeable change. While his physical strength didn't increase significantly, his spiritual power surged dramatically, as if skyrocketing. Even after reaching the Divine Origin Realm, spiritual power is still categorized into different levels, though these don't exist in the lower realms.

In the realm of gods, the level of spiritual power is consistent with the cultivation level of deities. It is divided into four major levels, with the spiritual power of the divine officials corresponding to the Divine Origin Realm.

Above the priests are the third-level deities. One of the criteria for a third-level deity is that their spiritual power must reach the third-level divine essence realm.

Second-level deities, first-level main gods, and finally, the God-King level. These naturally correspond to the second-level Divine Origin Realm, the first-level Divine Origin Realm, and the God-King Realm of spiritual power, which only the Sea God, as a God-King, can achieve.

When one's mental power reaches the level of a God-King, one can easily control a plane of existence and also cover multiple planets in the universe. Just like Yan now, he can control an entire life-bearing planet in the blink of an eye.

The Spirit Emperor, having activated the second layer of the Abyss Core, experienced a surge in his spiritual power, faintly displaying the aura of a third-level Divine Origin Realm cultivator.

Don't underestimate this advancement in realm. Below the Divine Origin Realm, even the total spiritual energy gained from advancing from the weakest realm to the Divine Origin Realm is less than one-tenth of the spiritual energy required to advance from the Divine Origin Realm to the third level.

At this moment, the Spirit Emperor appeared quite beautiful, unlike any other abyssal creature. Its entire body was emerald green, and light seemed to emanate from within it. The emerald green color was faintly visible, and every scale on its body, which was over ten meters long, appeared crystal clear, as if it were carved from jade. Its eyes were also clear as gemstones.

It simply hovered there quietly. The sublimation of its spiritual power had allowed it to reach a completely different realm, and even the two sea dragons in the sky showed a cautious attitude.

On the ground battlefield, all the hidden abyssal dragons emerged, their heads raised to the sky, their bodies prostrate on the ground, as if they were paying homage to the Spirit Emperor in the sky.

The bodies of these abyssal dragons began to change; a layer of emerald green light appeared on the surface of their original scales.

The Spirit Emperor not only underwent a transformation himself, but also caused the entire race to change along with him. The aura of all the Abyss Spirit Dragons also increased, especially some of the Spirit Dragon Kings and Spirit Dragon Emperors, whose eyes even turned emerald green.

With a change in their gaze, they exuded an unparalleled aura of power. An invincible mist blotted out the sky, this time not to enhance the strength of the surrounding abyssal creatures, but to frantically plunder and devour energy, causing their bodies and auras to grow wildly.

At this point, any attack that landed on them would be deflected. Led by the evolved Abyssal Dragons, all the abyssal creatures launched a counterattack against the human army.

The Spirit Emperor's icy gaze remained fixed on the two million-year-old sea dragons in the sky. Their auras constantly shifted, giving them an unpredictable quality. A massive light pattern appeared above its head, and a chilling voice uttered from its mouth, "Dimension, Imprisonment."

In an instant, a large area of ​​the sky battlefield turned dark. To the eyes of others, this darkness made it seem as if a huge black sphere of light had appeared in the sky. Within the range of the sphere, all elemental attributes disappeared.

"You've lost your helper. How much longer can you hold on?"

On the other side of the sky battlefield, the Fierce Emperor, who was constantly clashing with the demons, saw the two sea dragons being swallowed by the black hole cast by the Spirit Emperor. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he mocked the demons, and at the same time he increased the frequency of his attacks, intending to end the battle as soon as possible and gain victory.

"Do you think the Spirit Emperor can win? My two contracted spirits are not simple divine beasts."

The divine demon remained calm in the face of the provocation, simply responding with a nonchalant tone. His confident reply made Emperor Lie somewhat uneasy, causing him to inwardly murmur with unease. However, Emperor Ling had already taken the person away, leaving him with no opportunity to offer any reminders.

Within the confined space of the black hole, the Spirit Emperor's body first transformed into a beam of emerald light, then reformed and transformed back into a human form. However, this time, his entire body was covered in emerald green scales, and his aura was significantly stronger than before.

He looked at the two million-year-old sea dragons before him, his eyes filled with longing. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips. "Very good, very good. Your powerful bodies and abundant blood and energy are excellent food."

With my spiritual power now at the third level of the Divine Origin Realm, I can easily imprison a space for a short time; this space is equivalent to my domain. Now you have two choices: one is to submit to me, and the other is to be devoured by me…”

The one-eyed sea monster sneered, "You're really confident, aren't you? I, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, have always been the one to devour others. Today, someone actually dares to devour me. How arrogant!"

"Ha ha……"

Emperor Ling merely sneered upon hearing this, "Sharp words won't change anything. You don't need to resist in vain. Soon, I will transform you into a part of my body."

"Even those of you at the god level possess the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm. If I devour you, perhaps I can stabilize my third-level Divine Origin Realm and no longer need to burn my own life energy to sustain it..."

Emperor Ling looked at the two sea dragons with the eyes of a cat catching mice, as if he were looking at a delicious meal that was already in his mouth, searching for the best spot to bite down and devour them in the most perfect way.

"Your words are truly laughable. It seems you still don't understand what kind of being you're facing!"

The blue-purple sea dragon couldn't help but speak. Her massive body suddenly raised its head, and a dazzling purple-gold light burst forth like an explosion.

The sea monster dragon's massive body, nearly two hundred meters long, began to shrink, and a captivating, exquisite silhouette appeared in the Spirit Emperor's sight. Surrounded by a hazy purple-gold hue, her features were indistinct, but it was clear that she was a woman.

As the sea monster dragon transformed into a human, the surrounding space turned into vast expanses of purple-gold. The confined space was imbued with a terrifying energy, and the Spirit Emperor's child-like opening contracted violently. He felt himself gradually losing absolute control over the space.

Amidst the shimmering purple-gold light, the woman had fully transformed, standing in the void, her graceful figure fully revealed.

The blue-purple sea dragon was beautiful after it transformed. She had sword-like eyebrows, cold eyes, and her whole body radiated a purple-gold light.

The void around her body was constantly distorting, as if trying to expel her from this world. The same thing happened on the other side, where the one-eyed sea dragon also completed its transformation at almost the same moment.

The one-eyed middle-aged man had a ferocious expression, with long, dark blue hair cascading down his back. He wore strange, dark purple armor and stared fiercely at the Spirit Emperor. He was extremely displeased with this guy who seemed to be coveting his wife.

Chapter 729, Second Level, Collapse

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've really fought. Apart from the Sea God back then and that guy, there haven't been many people in the past tens of thousands of years who could make me go all out."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, enveloped in deep purple divine light, spoke calmly. As he spoke, he floated in front of his wife, the Demon Empress, and confronted the Spirit Emperor across the void, their gazes unwavering.

Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's cultivation level was higher than that of the Spirit Emperor, having reached the level of a hundred-level True God, he could not gain the upper hand in terms of aura, because at this stage, the Spirit Emperor's spiritual power cultivation was even higher than his.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's deep purple single eye met the Spirit Emperor's dark blue eyes. His aura was actually being suppressed by the Spirit Emperor, a discovery that made him both displeased and more vigilant.

After a brief moment of calm, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King decided not to wait any longer. He suddenly raised his right hand, and purple orbs of light appeared around his body, instantly filling the entire sealed black hole space.

Each sphere of light locked onto the Spirit Emperor, and the massive energy fluctuations instantly turned the entire space a deep purple. Sizzling lightning crackled and a piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out. From condensation to release, it took only a single breath.

Thousands upon thousands of purple orbs hurtled towards the Spirit Emperor like a meteor shower. Each orb was composed of three parts water and seven parts lightning, both of which were of extreme attributes. It was a composite attack of extreme attributes, and the power of each orb was extremely terrifying.

Once these divine water and thunder orbs erupt, the area they cover will be extremely wide. Such a wide-range, targeted attack is impossible to dodge.

"The art of insect control is trivial; don't forget, this is my domain."

As Emperor Ling gazed at the sky filled with lightning orbs, a sense of unease inexplicably arose in his heart. However, he had no other choice at this moment, and a powerful mental storm stirred up waves within the black hole space.

Boom!
