Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Two different colors collided instantly in mid-air, and the terrifying shockwave spread out in an instant. An incredibly powerful energy shockwave rapidly spread throughout space.

As the light gradually faded, the Silver Dragon King Na'er remained in place, while the Abyss Saint King's body was sent flying countless distances. It was clear that in this clash, the Crimson Mother had a slight advantage.

This is not surprising. The Silver Dragon King is a powerhouse close to a first-level god, and her own realm is far superior to that of ordinary gods. After experiencing the Battle of the Abyss, she will naturally reach a higher level. Once the Douluo Continent plane opens and she advances in the early stages, she will be able to truly cross that line.

On the other hand, the Abyss Saint King was previously besieged and killed by the Silver Dragon King Na'er and a group of gods, dying without a complete corpse, with only a tiny remnant soul remaining to be reborn.

Although he made a comeback with the help of the Crimson Mother, he was resurrected with only a wisp of his soul. Needless to say, his memories were definitely missing, and many other aspects were also flawed. Naturally, his strength was far inferior to what it used to be.

The difference in strength between the two wasn't significant to begin with, and now that one has improved while the other has regressed, the gap between them has narrowed even further. To put it bluntly, in a one-on-one duel at this point, it's uncertain who would beg for mercy.

"Abyss Saint Lord, it seems you're not up to the task!"

Silver Dragon King Na'er looked at the Abyss Saint King with disdain. Although she had not returned to the ranks of first-level gods, she had never taken the Abyss Saint King, a first-level god without a physical body, seriously. Even without using a super artifact, the latter would not be her match.

"You bastard, don't be so arrogant."

The Abyss Saint Lord glared angrily at Na'er. With a roar, all the dark red light in the sky converged on him like rivers flowing into the sea, causing his aura to surge instantly.

The original Abyss Saint King was just a remnant soul. Even if he recovered with the help of the power of the Crimson Domain, it was just a case of forcing growth. His combat power was even inferior to some top-level second-level gods. He needed a long time to recuperate and fully recover, which is why he suffered a loss when facing Na'er.

But now, relying on the power of this demiplane that has just devoured a planet, he has actually been raised to a form even stronger than his peak state, infinitely close to a half-step god-king.

Of course, this state also comes at a price. First, his own potential is damaged, and he will have to pay a much higher price to break through in the future. Second, this temporary improvement requires a lot of energy, and it may not even be enough to fill up all the energy he just swallowed.

Almost instantly, the view below, previously obscured by the dark red, became clear. A circular, enormous hole, shimmering with silver-black light, appeared on the earth below.

The void was located precisely at the planet's original core, now completely empty and devoid of any life. The entire planet was deathly silent, utterly devoid of any remaining vitality. In other words, the planet was dead.

Although it still retains the approximate shape of a planet, its core has been plundered, and its planetary will has been completely extinguished. This planet no longer possesses the basic conditions to become a habitable planet.

From this day forward, this ravaged planet will become like the countless desolate asteroids and meteorites around it, a lifeless wasteland, no longer capable of becoming the center of a star system. Unless, of course, a powerful being is willing to pay an immense price to save it.

"How long can you maintain this state?"

Silver Dragon King Na'er frowned slightly as she looked at the Abyss Saint, then suddenly said coldly, "Are you stalling for time? You deliberately lured us here."

"Guess! Hahahaha..."

The Abyss Saint King laughed and said, "Even if you know now, what can you do? In the entire Douluo Continent, the only one who could possibly pose a threat to us is you, a guy who is close to a first-level god. As long as we keep you here for a while, what makes the Douluo Continent think it can stop us?"

As he spoke, he stirred up more red light, and the deep red vortex once again transformed into a shuttle shape, directly crashing towards the direction where the Douluo experts were located. At the same time, meteors also flew out from the deep red vortex, each heading towards the god-level experts beside Na'er.

The Crimson Domain clearly had this planned in advance. Even without Di Tian's discovery, they would most likely have released the news after swallowing the planet to lure the powerful figures left behind in the Douluo Continent into splitting their forces, so that they could carry out their real plan.

"Your Douluo Continent is indeed very strong, but that's because you have too few top experts. Without you in charge, the Douluo Continent simply cannot withstand the invasion from other planes. By the time you return, it will be too late, and your Dragon Clan will be completely wiped out..."

Na'er radiated a seven-colored light, and the energies of various attributes converged to barely withstand the pressure from the Abyss Saint. The Abyss Saint's constant chatter and incessant chatter tried to influence and shake her mind, but her face always wore a mocking sneer.

"Do you really think I'm the strongest in Douluo Continent?!"

Na'er's words made the Abyss Saint King instantly sense something was wrong, but before he could speak again, the dazzling stream of energy had already completely engulfed him, who was radiating a deep red aura.

Chapter 762 Crimson Descent

In the Douluo Continent universe, amidst the twinkling stars of the cosmos, a strange, deep red light suddenly appeared in space.

A deep, dark red color permeated the outer atmosphere of the Douluo Ancient Star, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

When the Crimson Domain appeared outside the atmosphere of the Douluo Continent, the entire planet trembled violently. All the powerful beings above the Soul Saint level sensed it and felt a great calamity was about to befall them.

"They were actually plotting against us too."

Within Yan's divine kingdom, the group of powerful gods who remained behind naturally noticed the extremely oppressive red light from beyond the plane immediately. Through analysis of the available information, they quickly pieced together the cause and effect.

The ancient life-bearing planet at the edge of the universe, quite far from the Douluo Continent, was bait. The Abyss Saint King's invasion of the edge of the universe with his army was a deliberate act of baiting. Only after the powerful figures of the Douluo Continent had divided their forces did the main force launch a full-scale invasion of the ancient Douluo planet.

Of course, those guys' initial plan was probably discovered by the Douluo experts only after they had swallowed several planets, which should have given them more time to prepare.

However, no one expected that Di Tian would wander aimlessly to the edge of the universe, only to stumble upon the invasion of the Abyss Army. This forced those guys to go with the flow and hastily launch their plan.

"The Crimson Mother must have come in person, so I'll trouble you, teacher, to go and greet her."

Yan smiled and pulled Bibi Dong, who was beside his divine throne, into his arms. His gaze was fixed intently on the crimson light on the horizon. Now was not the time for him to make a move. He would wait until the Crimson Mother was completely trapped and unable to escape before he would take action to resolve everything.

"Hmm...you rebellious disciple, all you do is order your teacher around. By the way, that Crimson Mother is quite powerful and good-looking, aren't you tempted?"

Bibi Dong glared at Yan, her body almost limp on him, her delicate earlobes completely red. Although she had been having an ambiguous relationship with this little rascal for a long time, how could she keep her face in public, even though there were some "younger sisters" standing next to her?

“She already has a grown child as big as the Abyss Saint King, I don’t have such good teeth.”

Yan chuckled and shook his head, then subtly began to betray his teacher, completely humiliating Bibi Dong as her teacher. Bai Xiuxiu and Qian Renxue, standing beside him, blushed deeply. Although it was common for couples to share a bed, in a place like the temple, it was still...

"You little rascal, he's busy with important business, all you do is bully people with your cultivation level."

Bibi Dong ultimately maintained her dignity as a teacher and did not succumb to the schemes of an unfilial disciple. After pushing Yan away, she left the temple with Qian Renxue and Bai Xiuxiu, leaving Yan alone sitting on the throne.

"Crimson Mother, let me see just how far you can go!"

Yan Yao gazed at the boundless starry sky. The small, rolling red cloud appeared to him as small as a palm, but for the entire Douluo Continent, it was a massive disaster. Without powerful figures like Yan Yao guarding it, the Douluo Continent would not have been able to withstand it.

Outside the Douluo Ancient Star, the Crimson Domain churned violently and instantly transformed into a shuttle shape. Without any hesitation or pause, it headed straight for the Douluo Ancient Star to crash into it.

Just as that red shuttle-shaped mass was about to break through the atmosphere and wreak havoc on the surface of the ancient star, a layer of fine emerald light suddenly appeared in the vast sky, blocking the first wave of invasion from the outer plane amidst the cries of countless beings.

Suddenly, a burst of golden light surged throughout the Douluo Continent. As the light gradually solidified, it formed branches and veins of varying thicknesses. The emerald light shield that blocked the red light resembled an enormous tree canopy, or more accurately, the incarnation of the Tree of Life.

At the center of this halo was a woman of unparalleled beauty, floating proudly among the ancient trees of life, supporting a massive shield of life energy that covered the entire Douluo Ancient Star.

After the golden and crimson light collided for a moment, the crimson domain, which was descending from the sky with unparalleled power, quickly halted its momentum.

Beyond the atmosphere, in the crimson realm, a stunningly beautiful figure slowly emerged, her enormous crimson cloak seemingly endless, extending into the crimson realm behind her. Her gaze was icy as she looked at the woman with equally exquisite beauty within the emerald-green protective shield.

The Crimson Mother said calmly, "We've finally met. Tree of Life from the Douluo Continent, how should I address you?"

Ah Yin's eyes shone brightly as she looked at the Crimson Mother before her. "You can call me Ah Yin. You and those guys from the Abyss are in cahoots, aren't you!"

The Crimson Mother coldly replied, "That's right. The Abyss Plane was split off from my Crimson Domain. That fool, the Abyss Saint King, is my eldest son. If he weren't so useless, I wouldn't have needed to take action myself."

"You also want to invade the Douluo Continent dimension?"

Ah Yin looked at the Crimson Mother and said, "Then why did you stop? Are you worried that I would use my life force to consume your plane's energy at any cost? To me, the immortality of your plane will be meaningless."

The Crimson Mother laughed, her smile filled with disdain. "Trying to stop me with the power of life? You have no idea how powerful I am. Your life energy will collapse completely in less than a day if you try to hold up your defenses. At that time, your life core will shatter, and you will cease to exist."

Ah Yin calmly said, "With my strength alone, I am indeed no match for you, but there are many strong people in my Douluo Continent, and you will not succeed."

"You mean that guy who's close to being a god? He's definitely a top-tier expert. My foolish son didn't lose unjustly. If she were here, I'd really find it very troublesome."

The Crimson Mother glanced at the increasingly dense life energy and sighed softly, saying, "Why do you do this? If you are willing to cooperate with me and help me achieve the God Realm, I will definitely give back. In the future, I can co-rule the God Realm based on the Douluo Plane with you."

Ah Yin shook her head. "Do you really think that with physical support, you can turn the tide? You can establish a true divine realm?"

It is indeed easier for an energy plane to become a god realm than a physical material plane, but those energy planes that develop solely on their own are the ones that are truly capable of transforming into a god realm. Those like you who rely on devouring are merely cleaners of the universe's laws.

You were born under the oppression of the universe's reduction, absorbing too much energy from other planes, causing your own laws to become disordered. The inevitable outcome will be the return of that energy to the universe, making your ascension to godhood even more difficult than ours. And you cannot succeed.”

The Crimson Mother's expression darkened. "Nothing is impossible. How do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried? Once we devour you and gain a physical form, we can exist for much longer."

Since we are scavengers, and after achieving a physical god realm, we can destroy more existences and devour more planets without violating the laws of the universe, why can't we continue to exist...?

Ah Yin shook her head and calmly continued, "The laws of the universe will not allow an existence like you to ultimately achieve true godhood. In a sense, the godhood is already the wielder and manager of the laws of the universe."

The realm of gods arose to make the universe run more smoothly. Can you, who have grown by devouring other planes, achieve that?

The Crimson Mother's gaze turned menacing as she said, "Are you trying to stall me for time? Do you think you can hold out until those guys come back?"

I'm telling you, the order I gave to Abyss and the others was to delay them to the death, even if it meant self-destruction. Anyway, they had already left their divine soul imprints in the Crimson Domain before they split, so they won't die completely.

Your reinforcements won't arrive in time, and if you continue to wear us down, you will eventually perish. And as the Tree of Life, you can't detonate yourself, can you? So what's the point of your stubborn resistance? Cooperating obediently offers a glimmer of hope.

Ah Yin stared intently at the Crimson Mother for a long time before continuing, "You wouldn't understand what you're facing. The true master of the Douluo Continent has never been me."

"You expect these few guys who stayed behind to stay?"

The Crimson Mother's gaze suddenly turned to behind Ah Yin. Several streaks of light flew toward her, and the Crimson Domain slowly spread out behind her, like a large net, partially enveloping the atmosphere of the Douluo Ancient Star, emitting a faint glow.

A terrifying aura lingered in the sky, exerting immense pressure on countless creatures on the ground. The crimson domain spread outwards, radiating a chilling aura, its overwhelming dark red color attempting to devour the life energy emanating from the life shield from all directions.

As the Tree of Life in the Douluo Continent plane, Ah Yin possessed most of the plane's authority when the plane's ruler was absent, thus she could directly perceive the power of the Crimson Plane.

The Crimson Mother's words were not wrong; the Crimson Realm had already opened the path to the God Realm, but what it lacked was sufficient energy.

This statement seems somewhat illogical. If the Crimson Realm lacks energy, why did it split into the Abyss Plane and the demiplane used to lure enemies? The reason is that sufficient energy does not refer to quantity, but rather to level.

Only ancient life-bearing stars like the Douluo Continent plane, which possess special foundations and the potential to ascend to the God Realm, can have this level of life energy to truly allow the Crimson Domain to complete its evolution.

So in a sense, the Crimson Mother didn't lie, but Gin didn't believe a single word of her so-called promises.

As the Tree of Life in the Douluo Continent, she was well aware of the importance of the plane's authority. If the Crimson Domain wanted to leverage the Douluo Continent to achieve its God Realm, the first thing they would have to eliminate was her, because to become the new core, they needed to replace the Tree of Life.

In the vast universe, the Crimson Mother, having failed to communicate effectively, issued the order for a full-scale attack. In reality, the communication between the two did not last long. With her command, the Crimson Shuttle, which was already spinning and trying to break through Douluo's defenses, launched an even more intense attack.

The life-bearing planet at the edge of the universe was breached by the demiplane led by the Abyss Saint King using this kind of offensive. But the Douluo Continent plane is so powerful that it will not be easily breached.

The golden light curtain shone even brighter, emanating an even stronger life force. The crimson domain, like a terrifying ray of light shooting from the depths of the universe, with unparalleled majesty, hurtled towards the Douluo Ancient Star.

The impact was earth-shattering. The atmosphere beyond the vast sky was pierced almost instantly, and even a large section of the Tree of Life's crown caved in.

After failing to probe, the Crimson Realm showed no intention of luring the enemy, but instead resorted to overwhelming force, attempting to achieve its goal in the shortest possible time.

The Crimson Mother had made meticulous plans in the early stages of this war, and she was not going to let this opportunity slip by.

However, just as the golden light shield was being compressed to its limit, three holy rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

One purple, one gold, and one blue beam of incredibly powerful holy light shot straight into the sky, penetrating the life shield and striking the deep red spindle shape directly, instantly shattering its front section.

The crimson domain that was about to crash down began to twist violently. In the end, it failed to break through the defenses of the Douluo Continent plane and crash into the planet's surface. The spindle-shaped energy tip was completely destroyed, and a twisted gap appeared in the sight of countless people.

The three beams of divine light gradually solidified into three powerful divine artifacts. One was a Rakshasa Demon Scythe, entirely black and purple with countless swirling demonic runes, containing the divine will of evil and darkness. The other was an Angelic Holy Sword, seemingly forged from gold, radiating an aura of holiness and light.

The last artifact possessed an aura even more profound and powerful than the other two. It was a trident with a golden exterior radiating a blue-gold divine light. The two side blades were relatively thin, while the central blade was two feet long and half a foot wide, making it resemble a sword.

The Trident of Poseidon is an extremely rare divine artifact, even in the entire universe. Even the strongest artifact forged by the universe's only Dragon God was merely a super-divine artifact, representing the pinnacle of all known divine artifacts.

Three incredibly powerful artifacts surged into the Crimson Realm, obliterating everything in their path and destroying vast amounts of crimson energy. This forced the immensely powerful dark red figure to appear and personally intervene to block the three artifacts.

The Crimson Mother stared coldly at the three divine artifacts before her. Her weapon was a pair of long hooks, and the hooks blocked the path of the three artifacts. The overwhelming dark red color sealed off the surrounding space, preventing the three powerful divine forces from spreading further.

Chapter 763 Luring the Enemy Deep

"I underestimated you. If I'm not mistaken, your status in the divine realm must be extraordinary. The divine positions you possess all have the potential to become god-kings!"

The Crimson Mother looked at the three divine lights before her with a rather solemn expression. For powerhouses of their level, a brief exchange of blows was enough to clarify many things.
