Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

He was over thirty meters tall, covered in purple-gold scales, with a pair of three-meter-long horns on his head. He looked very much like a human, with a pair of huge wings made of purple flames on his back and a purple-gold flaming giant sword in his hand.

The moment this being appeared, the surrounding space began to distort violently, as if the power of the planes was frantically repelling him.

"Quack quack..."

However, this enormous demon eventually squeezed into the Douluo Continent plane. Looking at the blue sky, white clouds, forests, and land around him, he couldn't help but laugh, "I, the Demon Lord Alba, have finally arrived in this world full of life."

My people, let us slaughter and devour, so that you may grow stronger. The more creatures you devour, the more you will evolve.

When you become powerful enough, we will be able to open more demon portals, bring more demon legions into this world, make this world tremble because of us, and be destroyed beneath our feet..."

"Hoohoho..."

The demon legion roared and cheered, creating an atmosphere of intense joy. A dense aura of darkness blotted out the sun, and the entire earth was transformed into a purplish-black color under the influence of this terrifying and massive demon legion.

"Hey, what is that?"

The demon lord Alba looked up at the sky and suddenly saw something strange. It seemed to be several stars, shining brightly in the sky.

But it's daytime now, where can you find such bright starlight? And the starlight seems to be constantly magnifying in front of me, and it seems to be getting brighter and brighter.

"How can there be such a bright star in this world? My messengers, tell me, what is it?"

Alba suddenly felt uneasy. The starlight was getting closer and closer. A sense of foreboding arose in the heart of this demon lord. He subconsciously asked the evil soul masters who had been corrupted by his power.

"Your Majesty, we do not know either."

After exchanging glances, the dozen or so evil spirit masters gave a hesitant reply. They were all fugitives wanted by the Spirit Hall, and had fled here without daring to contact the outside world. Lacking knowledge of the outside world, they naturally couldn't answer anything.

"This thing is descending, stop it."

With a roar, the Demon Lord Alba sent countless flying demons soaring into the sky to meet the descending light.

Streaks of light streaked across the sky, falling like shooting stars, and a peculiar scorching heat filled the air. As they drew closer, it became clear that they were distinctly orbs of light.

A pure aura of light swept over, which was undoubtedly the elemental power that demons hated the most. Without Alba even having to give an order, the flying demons were already frantically spitting venom at those orbs of light.

"Chichichi..."

The venom spewed out by these flying demons hadn't gone far before it was evaporated into mist by the high-temperature airflow in mid-air. As the light spheres fell rapidly, the venomous mist was also quickly evaporated.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Clusters of purplish-black light burst open in the sky and then disappeared immediately. As the light descended, all the flying demons in the sky exploded. The force of their explosions did not stop the light spheres from falling. A moment later, all the light spheres fell to the ground.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Countless orbs of light and meteors exploded almost instantly, turning the pitch-black world into daylight in that instant.

"Ow ooh..."

A chorus of piercing screams echoed through the demon legion. Terrifying light elements transformed into a massive rain of light that rained down from the sky. These demons were utterly unable to withstand this pure power of light; the weak were instantly purified, while the slightly stronger ones suffered even more tragic fates.

Most of the demons that did not die suffered severe injuries. Such high-quality light elemental burning, even if it was just a little bit, was tantamount to large-area burns all over their bodies. Even some of the powerful demons were seriously injured.

All of this happened so suddenly, and the light element was so intense that the darkness on the earth was dispelled in an instant, and countless demonic creatures roared hysterically at this moment.

They felt their dark energy being frantically purified, and some weaker demons and hellhounds were instantly melted in this terrifying rain of light.

The rain of light continued to fall from the sky, and most of the demon legion members suffered considerable damage. However, the lesser demons, as spellcasters, had relatively stronger resistance to the light element. They rode the dream demons and horned demons in an attempt to disperse and reorganize the dark barrier.

One after another, dark pillars slowly rose, and the land, which was bathed in continuous light rain, seemed to be shrouded in darkness again. However, at this moment, a strong holy light descended from the sky, its target being the disheveled demon lord Alba.

"No"

Alba could sense the immense power behind the light and instinctively tried to escape, only to find himself enveloped by an invisible aura. The powerful energy locked onto him, and in the end, he could only roar as he looked up to support the endless darkness.

Amidst a shower of countless rays of light, an angel with three pairs of wings descended upon this land of demons. His holy light swept across everything, even suppressing the demon lord.

"Isn't this just an ordinary life-bearing planet? Why would such a thing exist..."

The demon lord Alba's body trembled, his heart filled with immense fear. The angel in the sky slowly descended, and his fear gradually reached its peak. The originally dense dark power on his body dissipated in the holy light.

This was not because the dark forces were completely purified by the light elements, but because the demon lord's fear weakened his own power.

Chapter 738 Qian Daoliu's Fortuitous Encounter

Above the sky, the angel, which had been slowly descending, finally stopped about three zhang above the ground. With a burst of light, the angel revealed its true form.

His long, platinum-gold hair cascaded down, and six pure white, sacred wings radiated light. His face was very young, but when his golden eyes opened, they gave people a sense of vicissitude and antiquity. He was Qian Daoliu, the supreme expert who had dominated the Douluo Continent for more than a hundred years and the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall.

"The judgment of light, the power of purification, is this the true essence of angelic power?"

Qian Daoliu looked down at the demon army. As he purified a large number of demons, he could feel a power surging into his body, and his understanding of angelic power became more profound.

The Angel God possesses the divine authority of judgment by light, but since the Asura God already has the power of judgment and enforcement in the divine realm, their divine powers overlap, making it difficult for the Angel God to develop in this area. Consequently, the angel race in the lower realm also rarely develops the power of judgment.

But today's arrival to deal with the demon army has given Qian Daoliu an extraordinary insight. The relationship between angels and demons is almost naturally antagonistic, and this is true in many universes. The light power of the angel race has a great restraining effect on demons.

When Qian Daoliu used his own power of light to purify demons, he discovered that his own power had a miraculous effect on the judgment and purification of demons. The more he used it, the deeper his understanding became, and his own realm also developed rapidly.

"Light and Judgment!"

! ”

Suddenly, Qian Daoliu raised his hands to gather power. A large amount of light elements converged, and a golden sun seemed to appear in the low sky near the ground. With the explosion of his divine skill, a circle of golden light rapidly expanded, and it was as if a sun had exploded on the ground.

"Rumble..."

The golden sun rapidly expanded and erupted, and time suddenly slowed down in that instant. The faces of all the demon races turned to terror at that moment. Some of the unfortunate ones who were closest could even clearly see their bodies being purified and disappearing.

The burst of golden sunlight was incredibly dazzling, like a flower formed from condensed light suddenly blooming on the earth. Centered on this 'flower,' the densely packed demon army was engulfed by the light.

At this moment, the distinction between superior and inferior demons is meaningless. Whether it is a flying demon, a dream demon, a horned demon, a lesser demon, or a hellhound, all demon races are equal under the power of light and are as fragile as paper dolls.

Some powerful demons only suffer more the longer they endure, watching helplessly as their bodies begin to burn. Due to the elemental advantage, these dying demons rarely have any intact corpses, while the fragments of the weaker ones are even vaporized.

It was a massacre, an absolute and utter slaughter. Wherever the golden light passed, even the Great Demon and the Demon Lord Alba had to defend themselves with all their might, desperately flapping their wings to escape. In such a desperate situation, who could care about anyone else?

The dense demon legion allowed the power of the Thousand Flow Divine Skill to be unleashed to its fullest extent. More than 70% of the demon legion's power instantly collapsed. After several rounds of purification by light, very few members of the demon legion, including the demon lord Alba, remained completely unharmed.

Qian Daoliu stood in the low sky, the light around his body was violently distorted. After the demon army was wiped out, the life energy that had not yet dissipated seemed to have found an outlet, and rushed wildly towards the golden light.

Although both hellish demons and abyssal monsters evolve by killing, devouring, and plundering other worlds, these two types of creatures are fundamentally different.

The Abyss Plane follows a similar path to the God Realm. It has no physical form and is entirely a semi-energy plane. It is highly efficient at absorbing energy and develops rapidly, but its weakness is also obvious. It is directly destroyed when it encounters an energy storm such as spacetime turbulence.

The Demon Dimension is a dimension similar to a materialized life-bearing planet, but its energy attributes are biased towards darkness and negativity, and its development mode tends to be plunder and devour. However, it is still somewhat different from the Abyss in essence.

Therefore, these demonic creatures do not collapse into negative energy after they die, but instead release the life energy they possess.

The demon plane is a harsh environment. Most of the demons that have survived and thrived and participated in interplane wars are strong. They have extremely strong vitality and super regenerative abilities.

Although they lack the regenerative abilities of abyssal creatures, their combat strength and vitality far surpass those of ordinary abyssal beings. However, they were simply unlucky this time, running into a formidable opponent—a deity of light, and an angel at that.

Angels have an inherent advantage over demons, and Qian Daoliu's cultivation level is far superior to that of all the members of the demon legion. It's a clear case of the strong bullying the weak. This time, the demon legion has fallen, and Qian Daoliu has really suffered a great loss.

As tens of thousands of demons' life energy surged into his body, Qian Daoliu felt a rare sense of fullness. He estimated that he could digest it all and make a small improvement in his cultivation. In addition, killing foreign invaders would also grant him dimensional scrolls. He could be considered to have won big this time.

Of course, Qian Daoliu knew that what he had just seen was just an appetizer. Those few great demons and the demon lord Alba were the real fish, and the real meat was the demon plane.

Although the Demon Dimension is weaker than the Douluo Continent Dimension, those who dare to invade other worlds are likely stronger than those in ordinary dimensions.

The Douluo Continent plane is already evolving after swallowing the Abyss. If it can also swallow a Demon plane, the transformation that was originally waiting for might be started directly. In the process, some energy will probably be consumed, but it won't be too wasteful.

The key is that he is a great contributor to helping the Douluo Continent plane annex the Abyss, and he will definitely gain huge benefits. It is even possible for him to become a third-level god. This is Qian Daoliu's opportunity.

A seven-colored radiance gradually appeared around Qian Daoliu's body. At first, this radiance was very illusory, but it quickly became solid, surrounding the life energy he absorbed and released, preventing any of this life energy from leaking out.

This is the Dimensional Scroll. The Douluo Continent has the Tree of Life, which in a sense means it holds the power of the Dimensional Lord, but it is fundamentally different from the Dimensional Lord who has absolute power over the universe.

The true ruler of a plane is like the Abyss Saint, who can kidnap planes to take risks, and when he goes mad, he can drain the original power of a plane, causing it to collapse completely.

With Yan's current strength, becoming the ruler of the Douluo Continent world would be incredibly easy. However, he had other plans and ideas, so after weighing the options, he chose to support Ah Yin in becoming the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life doesn't have the same authority as a plane lord, but it can still exercise some power. For example, in this plane, Juan Gu needs this kind of authority to launch a plane war, which is why Yan personally went to find her.

Under the influence of the Tree of Life, the will of the plane awakened. Its subconscious understood that everything Qian Daoliu was doing was for the sake of the plane, so it naturally gave it strong support. Therefore, Qian Daoliu was now in a position where the world was on his side.

On the earth, after the terrifying baptism just now, the demon army that was so arrogant and eager to plunder and slaughter was now shattered.

The dozen or so corrupted demon monsters were immediately killed by the essence of light. Almost all of the subordinates of the demon lord Alba died, and almost all of the nine great demons were injured. The most seriously injured one even had half of his body melted away, and he kept breathing cold air.

Even so, he still lives on tenaciously, and his shattered body is struggling to recover. To be able to live even after losing half a body is remarkable. If it weren't for the influence of the power of the God of Light, he might have recovered long ago. This shows the strength of the life force of the demon race.

"Why? What kind of monster is that?"

The demon lord Alba roared madly at the sky, but within that roar lay a deep fear. It was terrifying; this world of life was truly terrifying.

He has invaded quite a few planes, many of which are positive energy planes with many powerful beings. He has narrowly escaped death several times, but never has any world reacted so quickly and extremely terrifyingly.

Their demon legion hadn't even begun its slaughter and plundering; they had only been there a short time when they were discovered by the world's powerful figures, who then descended upon them and slaughtered them without uttering a single word.

He still couldn't understand what Qian Daoliu was, or why he had such a strong restraining effect on their demon race. How could such a powerful demon army be completely destroyed in an instant? What kind of power was that?

He looked up at the sky and saw Qian Daoliu, suspended in mid-air, devouring the life force of the great demon race—a blatant provocation to his authority. In the demon realm, the lives of all demons belonged to the monarch.

Alba was furious to the point of madness, but reason told him that he was no match for Qian Daoliu. However, if he allowed the other party to completely digest the life essence of those demons, the other party, who would benefit from it, would probably be even more unwilling to let go of the remaining demons, including him, and he would be in danger.

"My people, charge forward and destroy this dangerous enemy!"

Upon realizing this, Alba made a decision. He suddenly flapped his fiery wings and floated into the air, then commanded the remaining demon army to charge towards Qian Daoliu.

"Hoohoho..."

Under the command and influence of the demon lord Alba, the remaining demon legion gradually went mad with their eyes turning red. The purplish-black power spread to all the demons, and the hellhounds, demons, and lesser demons all grew wings.

These demons, influenced by Alba's power, launched a desperate, frenzied charge. Alba's own flaming greatsword also blazed with intense light, and his gaze toward Qian Daoliu seemed to be spitting out flames.

Chapter 739 Annihilation of the Army

"You want to run away, is that it!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out behind Alba. He whirled around, his face filled with horror, and retreated. Qian Daoliu, who had been in mid-air, appeared out of nowhere, as if he had torn through space and appeared directly in front of Alba.

Alba instinctively swung his flaming greatsword, but Qian Daoliu simply waved his hand, and a golden light collided with the flaming greatsword.

"Rumble..."

A thunderous roar resounded as Alba's figure crashed into the ground, creating a long trench. Qian Daoliu simply stood there and waved his hand, causing all the demons that tried to stop him to crumble.

The aura of the god-level powerhouse swept across all directions, and the overwhelming power completely locked down the demon lord Alba and the remaining great demons.

Alba was filled with fear. Although he was already one of the strongest in the demon plane, the gap between him and Qian Daoliu was simply too great.
