Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

As the silver light gradually faded, the Silver Dragon King's enormous three-thousand-meter-long dragon body reappeared. She naturally sensed the Abyss Saint King's plan, but she did not expose it.

If it were just a battle between her and the Abyss Saint, the latter would indeed have the advantage in terms of strategy. However, the outcome of this battle was never determined by the two of them, but by the all-out war between the Douluo Continent and the Crimson Domain.

The Abyss Saintess believed she could achieve final victory with the help of the Crimson Mother, but she also understood that Yan was no ordinary God-King, and the Crimson Realm was doomed to defeat. Both sides felt they had the upper hand, and each with their own agenda, they maintained the status quo, creating an unusually harmonious atmosphere on the battlefield.

……

Amidst the chaotic spacetime turbulence, a massive planet hurtled rapidly toward the edge of the universe. The dark red planet was riddled with holes, and varying shades of dark red seemed to writhe and churn, drawing upon everything on this planet, which possessed immense life energy.

The crimson light greedily devoured everything on the planet. This was a reserve of resources belonging to the Crimson Domain, intended for the crucial moment when it would attempt to ascend to the God Realm. However, it had to be used prematurely.

Through the layers of deep red, one could see that within this crimson expanse, countless creatures were killing and devouring each other, occasionally stirring up gusts of air.

At the heart of the crimson light, a colossal palace rose from the ground. The crimson palace was ancient and profound, with huge magical runes imprinted on its surface. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that these magical runes were in the shapes of various creatures from the Crimson Realm.

Every creature here was created by the Crimson Mother, who copied and imprinted them based on the different cosmic creatures she encountered, taking their strengths and ultimately making them her subordinates.

Inside this enormous palace, the Crimson Mother sat in the main seat. Compared to before, she looked extremely disheveled, her face filled with panic.

Her eyes were fixed on the turbulent void beyond, where countless planes seemed to be layered upon each other. Rings of deep red light continued to surge from beneath her, flowing into her body and merging into it.

Beneath her divine throne, the powerful beings above the god level in the Crimson Domain were mostly dejected. This invasion of the Douluo Continent had completely failed, and the price they paid was considerable, with losses among ordinary god-level, third-level god, and second-level god-level beings.

To the left of the Crimson Mother, a powerful figure whose aura was close to that of a main god said with dissatisfaction, "Mother, the failure of this operation is all Tian Shen's fault. He shouldn't have provoked this plane."

"Yan Long".

The Crimson Mother's voice suddenly turned serious, and everyone could feel her anger. "There's a saying among humans: jealousy is the original sin. Before the new world is formed, you must not harbor such emotions. All our plans are for the creation of the divine realm."

"I know you're not happy with Tian Shen, but this plan was devised by me. The Douluo Continent has clearly been watching us for a long time. Even without Tian Shen's invasion, they would have clashed with us sooner or later. Do you understand?"

The Crimson Mother's voice was filled with anger; she felt utterly disappointed that her 'children' were fighting amongst themselves under these circumstances.

Tian Shen was her eldest son, the Abyss Saint King who had split off to rule the Abyss Plane. She knew that these other 'children' had always been dissatisfied with him, but she never expected to be attacked at this time. This was not a good sign.

After being reprimanded, Yan Long quickly lowered his head and respectfully said, "I understand, Mother. I was just venting, I didn't mean anything by it."

As Yan Long lowered his head, a shadow of gloom flashed across his eyes. He was naturally dissatisfied with his mother's reprimand. In his mind, Tian Shen, his mother's firstborn child, had always been the most favored.

Only that guy among them truly inherited his mother's legacy, and even though he messed up a plane, he was still accepted back by his mother and entrusted with important responsibilities.

If everyone is a mother's child, then Tian Shen was born of her own flesh and blood, while the others seem more like products created by her. Therefore, the mother has always treated Tian Shen differently. This fills Yan Long with deep jealousy, yet he feels helpless about it.

This time, he finally found Tian Shen's mistake and was even planning to incite his other brothers and sisters to make trouble together, but he didn't expect that he would fail before he could even start his plan. His mother was too biased towards Tian Shen.

"This campaign has failed. The enemy was prepared and may have been plotting against us all along. Although we are safe for now, we cannot let our guard down. I need to go into seclusion to recover for a while. I will temporarily hand over the Crimson Realm to you."

The Crimson Mother glanced at Yan Long, then at the other children, a complex light flashing in her eyes. "During my seclusion, you must control the Crimson Domain to guide Tian Shen and the others to evacuate and leave this universe as soon as possible."

"clear."

Yan Long and the other god-level powerhouses all agreed, and a large number of powerhouses dispersed to various places, controlling the vast Crimson Domain to quickly evacuate.

Chapter 766 Utter Madness

Amidst the chaotic spacetime storm, a planet hurtling through the void is gradually heading towards its demise.

On the planet, the dark red light was receding like a tide. Where the dark red had faded, the lush greenery and vibrant life that once existed were gone. What remained were only patches of grayish-brown.

These mottled gray-brown surfaces are filled with a deathly stillness, riddled with countless craters. And with the planet's death, the dark red that coalesced in one place is brimming with unparalleled, powerful energy.

After devouring all the life energy and life core of such a planet, the Crimson Domain finally recovered. Its dark red color had now turned blood red, and the entire Crimson Domain was writhing violently.

Gradually, it transformed into a gigantic, blood-red vortex in mid-air, frantically absorbing the surrounding energy in preparation for a potentially devastating battle. Behind it, a divine radiance was rapidly closing in.

In the void storm, on the desolate planetary surface, fragments of rock exploded and rapidly transformed into meteorites that scattered in all directions. Some of these meteorites were swallowed by a dark red vortex, turning into dust the moment they entered it, silently disappearing into the universe, forever annihilated.

This is the terrifying aspect of planar devouring; a planet was completely annihilated under the devouring power of the Crimson Realm.

The energy fluctuations in the Crimson Realm gradually stabilized. The life-bearing planet that had been devoured was slowly dying out. Having lost everything, it would soon completely disintegrate, with the harder parts turning into meteorites and the rest into cosmic dust.

At the center of the Crimson Realm, a ruby-like halo rippled outwards, and a figure appeared and disappeared within it.

The bright red color accentuated her figure, and on the surface of the crimson realm, even layers of hazy, multicolored light began to ripple. The faint, seven-colored light appeared only briefly before vanishing without truly lingering.

"It's still not working, it's still not working..."

The Crimson Mother's voice was icy cold. "This time, it really was just one step away. I've clearly found the right path, so why can't I take that step? If that's the case, then continue the destruction until the moment of success..."

Madness appeared on the Crimson Mother's face, and with her will, the Crimson Domain suddenly fluctuated violently once again.

This time, however, it collapsed inward at lightning speed, eventually condensing into a blood-red ball of light that shot out like a meteor, traversing space and disappearing in an instant.

"It looks like she's about to break through; the abundant fruit is about to ripen. That's wonderful."

The instant the Crimson Domain vanished, a figure silently appeared. He gazed in the direction the Crimson Domain had disappeared, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. The next instant, he too vanished without a trace.

……

At the edge of the universe, rings of deep red light and countless dazzling divine rays intertwined, and the battle between the Abyss Saint King and the Silver Dragon King had reached its most critical moment.

Just then, ripples suddenly spread out silently, as if the universe and starry sky were instantly distorted.

The ripples in space began to intensify, and as the layers of ripples overlapped, a bright red hue emerged. It was as if the universe had suddenly opened an eye, gazing upon the two powerful beings locked in battle.

"Mother? What happened to her?"

The Abyss Saint King was initially delighted by the appearance of the Abyss Domain, but suddenly he sensed something was wrong. His mother seemed to be in a great hurry. Could it be that something had changed?

Before he could speculate further, the bright red color became increasingly vivid, and the terrifying ripples grew more and more intense. Suddenly, a brilliant blood-red light shot out, sweeping towards the battlefield between the two powerful figures.

"Boom!"

The moment that crimson light appeared, the Silver Dragon King instantly materialized and fled. This attack, which contained multiple attributes such as destruction, destructiveness, and devouring, gave her a chilling feeling even from a distance.

With a deafening roar, countless planets and meteorites in the path of the beam of light were reduced to dust. The enormous boom shook the entire universe, and waves rippled outwards, sweeping away everything in its path.

The red light swept across the land, turning everything in its path into nothingness, even the smallest specks of cosmic dust were swallowed up and transformed into energy.

"Tian Shen, come back."

A summons came from the Crimson Realm. Before the Abyss Saint King could even ask any questions, a crimson light swept everything in his demiplane back into the Crimson Realm. At this moment, he felt a sense of unease, but he had no choice but to react.

In the chaotic space, having absorbed the demiplane where the Abyss Saint King resided, the crimson light transformed from the Crimson Domain began to grow increasingly intense.

A massive, blood-red vortex appeared in the universe. The Silver Dragon King, who was watching its birth, trembled inwardly, and an indescribable fear arose from the depths of his heart. Everything around him seemed to be shrouded in a layer of red.

The Silver Dragon King's expression instantly turned solemn. She could sense that the Crimson Domain was on the verge of transformation, which inexplicably gave her, the half-body of the Dragon God, a sense of crisis.

A massive, blood-red vortex swirled in space, releasing terrifying pressure outwards. Everything around it seemed to respond to its rotation, with numerous meteorites streaking across the sky and hurtling straight toward the center of the vortex.

The powerful figures, including the Silver Dragon King, who came to ambush the Abyss Saint King, all felt a strong pulling force, as if the energy within their bodies was about to burst out. They had to concentrate their minds to barely control their life force from being pulled away.

"You must be connected to one of the god-kings of this universe! This universe is truly powerful!"

A cold, emotionless voice rang out, and as these words were spoken, the Silver Dragon King's consciousness instinctively recoiled.

At the top of the massive vortex in the Crimson Realm, a figure that seemed to stretch across the entire universe, towering ten thousand meters tall, slowly emerged. The light and shadow were solid, and it was none other than the Crimson Mother.

"To be honest, I must thank you. If it weren't for your scheming, I wouldn't have been able to reach the threshold of God-King so quickly. Although the price was high, it was all worth it as long as I can break through. Now, let us become one!"

The Crimson Mother looked down at the Silver Dragon King from her high position, her burning red eyes filled with greed and desire. Although she was being chased by Yan all the way, she still could not get rid of her greedy nature.

Silver Dragon King Na'er stared at her and sneered, "You have such a big appetite? If you want to swallow me, aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?"

The Crimson Mother was not angered by her words, but simply said, "You may have been powerful in the past, but now you are only a second-level god, while I am far more powerful than you. I have a feeling that consuming you will allow me to advance."

The Mother of the Abyss stopped talking nonsense. In fact, she had already been mobilizing energy when she spoke those words. The blood-red light deep in her eyes flowed, and suddenly burst forth like two endless vortexes, with a blood-red crescent moon pressing down on the Silver Dragon King.

The blood moon rapidly enlarged in the sky, enveloping the Silver Dragon King in crimson light. Just before reaching the Silver Dragon King, the rotating blood moon suddenly flipped over, its sideways shape appearing incredibly thin, like a thin line of blood rapidly spreading towards him.

"We can't stop it."

The Silver Dragon King had this thought subconsciously. Her intuition prompted her to react quickly. In the next instant, a line of blood swept across her location, and her figure vanished from the spot. A silver light appeared in the distant space, and her figure reappeared.

At the last moment, the Silver Dragon King used spatial means to teleport away, but the Crimson Mother would not let her go so easily. A scarlet light blade shot out and continued to chase, drawing a long trajectory in space.

The moment the scarlet light blade shot out, wisps of blood-red light within the Crimson Domain surged toward it as if drawn by a force, rapidly flowing into the scarlet light blade.

The light blade grew larger and larger, its crimson color becoming increasingly ferocious and monstrous. Soon, the blade's width exceeded a kilometer, and the surging crimson energy around it disrupted spacetime, directly affecting the surrounding spatial laws.

"Boom!"

A cold glint flashed in Na'er's eyes, and a dazzling seven-colored divine light rapidly spread out, causing a terrifying energy explosion in the air.

Just then, a bright silver light suddenly burst open in the Crimson Realm without warning, and a figure abruptly appeared above the Crimson Mother's head.

A divine light suddenly pierced the Crimson Mother's forehead, illuminating her face. In that instant, the Crimson Mother's body seemed to freeze, as if she couldn't move, her expression filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Mei'er?"

The figure who had ambushed the Crimson Mother revealed her true form: a delicate figure, her entire body shrouded in gray aura, her exquisite face exuding an alluring charm—none other than the Enchanting Empress, a top powerhouse of the Crimson Realm. At this moment, the gray aura gradually faded from her body, revealing a completely different appearance.

“Crimson Mother, you can’t escape.”

Suddenly, the voice of the Silver Dragon King rang out from the mouth of the Enchantress. In an instant, a dazzling divine light flashed, and the Enchantress, controlled by the Silver Dragon King, transformed into a sword light and rushed towards the source of the Crimson Mother.

"Buzz..."

Just then, a deep hum resounded from above the Crimson Mother's head. The next instant, an unparalleled aura of terror suddenly erupted.

A blood moon appeared silently behind the head of the Crimson Mother. Under its bloody light, even the fading figure of the Enchantress was frozen in place.

The sword beam that had cost the Demon Queen her life ultimately failed to continue downwards. Enveloped in the bloody light, it finally solidified in front of the Crimson Mother's forehead.

“Mei’er, everything you have comes from your mother. Now, it’s time for you to return to her.”

As the Crimson Mother watched the dissipating Enchantress, she suddenly opened her mouth wide, instantly eroding the scattered energy sword light of the Enchantress into a deep crimson color. She swallowed the blood-red sword energy whole.

"That's not enough!"

A faint crimson fluctuation appeared on the surface of the Crimson Mother's body. After devouring the Enchantress, her condition was clearly abnormal.

"You've gone mad."

The Silver Dragon King was shocked when he realized the Crimson Mother's thoughts. She was planning to destroy the Crimson Realm to achieve her own goal and forcibly break through the shackles of the God King. Such an action was undoubtedly insane.

Although the plane's will and the plane's master are highly unified, they are still two separate entities to some extent. Trying to destroy the plane's master, who controls the plane, will definitely result in a backlash from the plane's will, and could even lead to complete annihilation.

"Hahahahahahaha..."

The Crimson Mother laughed. "No madness, no life. I am nothing more than a madman struggling to survive in the universe. If you have the guts, destroy me, or I will destroy you, devour everything, and complete my ultimate transformation."

As she spoke, her eyes turned completely crimson, and the light on the moon blade in her hand began to grow stronger and stronger. Suddenly, she raised her hands and countless creatures from the Crimson Realm shot out. Then, her body rapidly enlarged countless times.

"Mother, Mother, please don't..."
