Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Bai Xiuxiu had already revealed a great deal about their backgrounds as soon as they made their move. Just from the three artifacts that had entered her Crimson Domain, the Crimson Mother had already determined that these three were not simple people.

The dark and light laws surrounding the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and the Angelic Holy Sword made the Crimson Mother wary, and the Trident of the Sea God was a genuine super artifact. Treasures of this level were rare even in the realm of gods, and it also had special significance.

For a first-level main god to forge a top-tier divine artifact might not be difficult, but forging a super divine artifact is almost impossible, unless the main god has the potential to become a god-king. Among the dozen or so main gods in the divine realm, only the Sea God has accomplished this, which shows his strength.

This also reflects the dire situation of the Douluo God Realm at that time. Since the Dragon God Rebellion, the God Realm had been recuperating for hundreds of thousands of years but had not been able to recover. Even the three law enforcement gods had only barely surpassed the level of the main god and reached another stage. It is conceivable that the situation faced by the Sea God was even worse.

In this situation, the path of relying on accumulating resources to advance to the God-King level is basically blocked. That's why Yan's theory of Godhood Fusion excited the gods of the God Realm so much. This method is feasible and does not require relying on accumulating resources to forcibly advance, making it the best way to quickly restore the strength of the God Realm.

However, all of these things are irrelevant to the current Douluo Continent. At this moment, the Crimson Mother's invasion is blocked by the three divine artifacts, but she has no way out and can only fight a desperate battle to quickly invade the Douluo Continent.

Bibi Dong was the first to appear. She stared coldly at the Crimson Mother. Endless darkness, accompanied by wisps of dark purple light, appeared all around, constantly eroding and attempting to devour the power of the Crimson Plane.

The Crimson Mother's gaze sharpened. Although it was her first time meeting Bibi Dong, she instinctively sensed that this woman was no ordinary person. "I never expected that there would be such a powerful being among humans. And who are you?"

"Bibi Dong, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong made no attempt to conceal her identity. Just as she was confronting the Crimson Mother, Qian Renxue and Bai Xiuxiu also appeared. The Rakshasa Demon Scythe, the Angel Holy Sword, and the Trident of the Sea God fell into the hands of the three of them. With the combined power of the three divine artifacts, they barely managed to hold their own.

"The Spirit Hall is the power that rules the Douluo Continent. I see..."

The Crimson Mother's gaze swept over the three of them. She was inwardly furious, filled with rage at her good-for-nothing eldest son. That bastard hadn't even figured out who his opponents were until his death, and he'd been constantly urging her to attack the Douluo Continent. What a scoundrel!

However, the Crimson Mother didn't have many options at this point. Once the interdimensional war started, ending it wouldn't be her responsibility alone.

Although she was furious, she knew she had to defeat her opponent as soon as possible. If the Crimson Realm's progress was truly slowed down, things might develop in a direction she didn't want to see.

The Crimson Realm also has its own problems. This all-out attack is aimed at becoming a god-realm in one step. She wouldn't have launched it without sufficient confidence, but once she does, it becomes very difficult to control the overall situation.

The current situation is somewhat unexpected. Although she successfully lured away the Silver Dragon King, the strongest being in the Douluo Continent, it is clear that the three deities in front of her are also extraordinary. It will likely take her some effort to deal with them. Such unexpected events are making her somewhat uneasy.

“Crimson Mother, if you dare to invade, you should consider your ultimate fate of defeat.”

Qian Renxue stared at the Crimson Mother. Although she was temporarily outmatched in cultivation, she couldn't afford to lose in terms of aura.

The Crimson Mother said calmly, "Do you all want to die that badly? Do you really think that you can stop me from advancing?"

Bai Xiuxiu gripped the Poseidon Trident tightly and said calmly, "Whether it can be blocked or not is not up to you. We haven't even fought yet, so it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious."

The Crimson Mother's expression grew increasingly cold. She could sense that the divine radiance emanating from the three people opposite her was becoming stronger and stronger. It seemed that the power of the Crimson Plane was stimulating the divine power within them, accelerating the fusion of the divine power with them.

This argument sounds rather far-fetched, but the Crimson Mother encountered similar situations throughout her long life. The Crimson Realm is like a scavenger parasitizing multiple universes, inherently rejected and abhorred by the laws of the universe. The gods' elimination of them is in accordance with "heavenly justice," and the gods are, in turn, the caretakers of their respective universes.

The Crimson Mother suddenly laughed, “Very good, very good. Your appearance has indeed surprised me, and I admire you. If you choose to submit to me, the new divine realm will be jointly ruled by us. But unfortunately, I think you are unwilling.”

The Crimson Mother's eyes held a hint of regret, but more so a burning passion. Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Bai Xiuxiu all possessed the potential to become God-Kings, but they had not yet fully merged. Wasn't this giving her an opportunity?

Bibi Dong gripped the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, her entire body enveloped in endless darkness. "If you want war, then come on. Who dies is still uncertain."

The Crimson Mother was no longer angry. Having lived for countless years, anger held no significance for her. Only profit mattered. And if she could devour these three, the benefits to her newly formed divine realm would be immense.

"Boom boom boom..."

Bai Xiuxiu was the first to lose her composure. The Trident of Poseidon emitted rings of golden light, instantly repelling the surrounding crimson energy. The next instant, the two figures clashed fiercely.

Bai Xiuxiu was instantly forced back and fell. The difference in cultivation level was not something that could be made up for by ordinary means. Fortunately, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue took turns attacking, and the Crimson Mother was unable to do anything to them for a while.

At this moment, countless creatures within the Crimson Domain also rushed out to prepare for an attack. However, the Douluo Continent plane was not unprepared either. Life force surged wildly into the Crimson Domain through the opening, and the green-gold torrent instantly annihilated many enemies.

In the Crimson Realm, the wisdom of those at the god-level and above is quite considerable. They all understand that although the creatures of the Crimson Realm possess immortality, everyone knows that once they die and are reborn, their consciousness will be reassembled, and they will no longer be the same people they once were. Therefore, they are not truly fearless of death.

Furthermore, having invaded so many worlds, they have some understanding of the situation. The immortality of the Crimson Realm can also be countered, especially when facing the life force of this kind of plane origin, which is specifically designed to counter Crimson Realm invaders with insufficient cultivation.

Even for powerful individuals like them, being hit would be devastating. They have the advantage in numbers, and we can win eventually if we drag this out; why risk our lives?

They clearly saw that as long as the Crimson Mother killed the three powerful figures in front of her, there wouldn't be many difficulties ahead, and their victory was certain.

In the Douluo Continent world, before the Tree of Life, Ah Yin sat atop the canopy, surrounded by azure-gold light. Under her control, a large amount of life force continuously surged into the Crimson Domain to counterattack its opponent.

One after another, powerful figures from the Douluo Continent world soared into the sky. Having received the warning, they did not rashly enter the Crimson Domain, but instead hunted down any remaining survivors on the periphery. Indeed, some did escape.

Although most of the Crimson Domain invaders were directly annihilated within the gaping passage, some still rushed out under the orders of the Crimson Mother, intending to use a self-destruct attack to destroy the life shield of Douluo Continent. Naturally, the Douluo side could not tolerate this situation.

Within the Crimson Realm, ear-piercing explosions rose and fell, as dark red currents clashed with the three divine lights, the shockwaves causing many gods within the Crimson Realm to retreat.

Although Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Bai Xiuxiu's cultivation levels were even lower than some of theirs, the three powerful divine artifacts and the blessing of divine power allowed them to easily defeat foreign invaders of the same level in the Douluo Universe.

Within this entire Crimson Realm, only a few powerful figures, such as the Crimson Mother and the Abyss Saint, have a high chance of winning. The rest are likely to be swept away. Therefore, these god-level powerhouses who cherish their lives dare not get involved in this great battle.

As life force continued to flow in, the surrounding dark red had turned tinged with dark green. The three goddesses who had invaded the Crimson Realm were all injured, while the Crimson Mother remained unharmed.

However, at this moment her expression was solemn, and her pair of hand hooks trembled slightly, the three-colored divine power surrounding them slowly dissipating.

The Crimson Realm is her domain. Not to mention that the three goddesses in front of her are only deities who have not yet fully merged their divine positions, even if they have completely merged their divine positions and reached the level of first-level main gods, she would not be afraid to fight all three of them in this Crimson Realm.

The Crimson Realm was her home turf. Even if the God-King himself were to appear, the Crimson Mother, having used all her trump cards, wouldn't necessarily be afraid. However, at this moment, she was uneasy and had reserved her strength, so she couldn't defeat her opponent immediately.

However, from another perspective, the three goddesses had also achieved their goal of stalling her, which made her increasingly anxious. Although she was confident that the Abyss Saint King could restrain the Silver Dragon King Na'er, she was unwilling to prolong the situation for too long.

"I've seen your methods. Now, let's end this!"

The Crimson Mother moved her hands simultaneously, the pair of hand hooks in her hands seemingly containing infinite suction force. A powerful storm swirled around the bodies of the three goddesses, causing their wounds to reopen and more blood to splatter, dissipating into the Crimson Realm with a halo of light.

The light within the Crimson Realm grew increasingly dim, and a bloodthirsty aura began to permeate the entire army of the Crimson Realm.

One by one, ferocious figures began to erupt. The Crimson Mother had given a death order, and these abyss invaders dared not be as timid as before. Under the personal leadership of a god-level powerhouse, they launched a powerful and all-out attack.

Once the Crimson Domain launched its all-out assault, the defenses of the Douluo Continent were no match for them. Even the three goddesses and the Tree of Life, Ah Yin, who were the main forces, were impacted by these guys, and the situation became unmanageable for a time.

The army of the Crimson Realm surged forward relentlessly, like a tidal wave. Bibi Dong and her two companions, who had originally intended to entangle the Crimson Mother, realized that things were hopeless upon seeing this. They each used their divine artifacts to unleash powerful divine techniques to annihilate their opponents before turning and leaving.

"You come and go as you please, what do you take my Crimson Realm for?"

Seeing that Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Bai Xiuxiu wanted to leave, the Crimson Mother naturally wouldn't allow it. Not only because their unbridled actions damaged her prestige, but also because she wanted to take advantage of the favorable terrain to press her advantage.

This Crimson Realm is her territory no matter what. It would be easy to deal with the three goddesses here. But if they really escape back, it will take a lot of effort to deal with them again. Moreover, she has to be careful that their divine power will be amplified outside.

Just as the Crimson Mother was about to give chase, the divine radiance unleashed by the three divine artifacts mixed with the green-gold life light and charged towards her and the group of powerful figures from the Crimson Realm.

"Boom!"

Originally, the Crimson Mother didn't care much about this rearguard action, but after an explosion, all the powerful beings in the Crimson Plane, including her, were blasted away, and a large number of Crimson creatures died instantly. Even god-level powerhouses perished on the spot.

"Could there be some violent reaction to their divine powers? Yes, angels and demons, light and darkness, completely opposing forces..."

The Crimson Mother's eyes grew increasingly gloomy. The terrifying power of the explosion had even slightly injured her. The thought of her children being killed because they were accidentally caught in the aftershocks made her feel even worse.

Everything was going according to plan, but just when she thought she was about to succeed, one unexpected thing after another happened, especially this last one.

She thought that by personally leading the pursuit, she could successfully intercept and kill the three powerful figures from the Douluo Continent, but she did not expect the explosion to be so terrifying. It was completely unlike the energy bursts they could produce. She could only imagine that it was an energy conflict, rather than scaring herself by thinking that there were even stronger figures hiding in the dark.

Although it was possible, she thought it was impossible. If the other party had an even stronger opponent, they would have already stepped in to end things. How could they have let her keep jumping around like this until now?

"You will all die."

The Crimson Mother stepped outside the life shield, wielding a pair of hooks with ferocious force. The surrounding dark red light suddenly magnified the hooks countless times. This half-step God-King no longer held back her energy, launching an all-out attack.

“Crimson Mother, this is not your Crimson Realm.”

A torrent of azure-gold life energy rushed out and blocked the three goddesses. Even though Ah Yin and Bibi Dong had a bad relationship, they knew the bigger picture and wouldn't act rashly at this moment.

"Boom!"

After being blocked by the golden torrent for a moment, the Crimson Mother flew down and crashed outside the tree canopy. The golden life shield twisted instantly, and the remaining light and shadow of the Crimson Mother's hand hook swept through space and headed straight for the Tree of Life.

Chapter 764 Appearance and Showdown

"Let's attack together."

Outside the Tree of Life, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Bai Xiuxiu made a decisive move after exchanging glances, and the three divine artifacts combined their power to once again repel the Crimson Mother.

The Crimson Mother hovered in the distance, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. Her hand-held hooks moved up and down, creating streaks of light. The brilliance of the three divine artifacts returned, yet no matter how much they unleashed their power, they still couldn't cross the line.

This is an absolute difference in strength. Even if she leaves the Crimson Realm now, she is still not someone that Bibi Dong and the other two can stop.

The Crimson Mother stepped forward, her crimson energy causing the life shield in front of her to gradually collapse. She and Ah Yin stared at each other through the thin layer of green light.

From the very beginning of this war, she had already determined her main target: once she devoured the Tree of Life, the Douluo Continent would lose all power to resist her. The three gods with divine positions might have great potential, but they couldn't stop her actions at the moment.

The Crimson Mother's icy gaze locked onto Ah Yin, and streams of dark red energy, like ribbons, converged towards her body. Under the influence of her aura, the Crimson Domain became even more profound.

The dark red color outside the cosmic starry sky suddenly separated, and the empty blackness stood out conspicuously. Under the control of the Crimson Mother, a vacuum area appeared outside the Douluo Continent plane, which meant that this plane was cut off from the outside world for a short period of time.

"I will not waste any time. No matter how great the sacrifice, I will crush you as quickly as possible."

As the Crimson Mother spoke, she suddenly waved her hand, and the powerful figures of the Crimson Domain behind her immediately launched a charge, heading straight for the Douluo Continent plane.

On the Douluo Continent side, figures also flew out at the same time. Having experienced the invasion from the Abyss Plane, the overall power of the Douluo Continent plane had been integrated and enhanced. With the blessing of the Tree of Life, dealing with such an invading army in a short time was not difficult.

The army of the Crimson Realm charged again. The Crimson Mother stood at a distance, not directly attacking, but hovering in mid-air with a deep gaze, watching the Tree of Life. Her pause was not an act of surrender, but rather a wait for an opportunity, a chance to strike decisively.

A crimson wave surged towards the Douluo Continent plane, and a crimson monster resembling a giant bird charged directly towards Bibi Dong and her companions. It had three heads, and four reddish-brown wings on its back. The three bird heads simultaneously emitted different lights.

The leftmost bird head of the monster emitted a gray light, while the rightmost bird head emitted a yellow light, representing weakness and corrosion respectively. The central bird head, however, emitted a white bolt of lightning that resembled thunder.

The three beams of light attacked Lan Xuanyu, Bibi Dong, Bai Xiuxiu, and Qian Renxue almost simultaneously, with an even larger army of monsters following behind them.

Although the Crimson Mother's goal was the Tree of Life, the existence of Bibi Dong and the other two did indeed cause her trouble.

The hordes of monsters from the Crimson Realm charged in an attempt to wear them down. It was an open scheme, because the disparity in strength between the two planes was too great for Bibi Dong and her companions to break through; they could only fight desperately to kill the monsters.

"Chirp~~~"

The three-headed monster was instantly engulfed by the torrent of three divine rays converging. Amidst its screams, its neck snapped. But it was, after all, a god-level being. A burst of gray light erupted from its body in an attempt to resist, but in the end, it was reduced to ashes.

But this strange bird was just the beginning. More god-level monsters attacked Bibi Dong and her two companions, and not a single ray of light could be seen around them.

"Now, who can save you?"

The Crimson Mother gazed at Ah Yin in the center of the Tree of Life, a cold smile playing on her lips. A great deal of red light gathered around her, for the sacrifices of so many of her descendants had finally created a suitable opportunity for her.

The Crimson Mother took a step out into the void, her pair of hand hooks sweeping out horizontally. Two dark red lights flashed past in an instant. As the lights flew through the air, a large amount of Crimson Domain energy frantically gathered towards her, and a terrifying aura continued to erupt.

"You're finished."

The Crimson Mother's image seemed to grow enormous, her eyes appearing infinitely magnified, like two abysses overlapping. Her illusory figure instantly appeared within the Douluo Continent plane, her blood-red hand hooks crossed, aiming at the straight trunk of the Tree of Life.

The golden light surrounding the Tree of Life shattered after only a moment, but the sharp hooks stopped outside the Tree of Life, easily blocked by a strange divine light.

The Crimson Mother's eyes instantly darkened, and everything around her seemed to freeze, even the entire battlefield momentarily stagnant.

The terrifying divine sense of the Crimson Mother swept over the Tree of Life, and in that instant, the entire Crimson Domain seemed to turn gloomy. The planes collapsed, and the Douluo Continent plane was like a lone boat in a storm, constantly turbulent.

"who are you?"

The Crimson Mother looked around with a gloomy expression. The unfamiliar divine power blocking the double hooks made her secretly alarmed. There was still a powerful figure hidden in the Douluo Continent. This was definitely an unexpected and deadly situation.
