Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. The AI ​​prevented him from succumbing to the pain. Sensing the increasingly uncontrollable external energy, he made a decision without hesitation.

Yan had deduced countless scenarios of the God Realm's advancement and also unearthed the root cause of the Dragon God's failure from the corners of his memory.

The interference of the laws of the universe was the fundamental reason for the failure of the Dragon God and the Dragon Clan. Because of the unique nature of the laws of the universe, which lack consciousness, they cannot directly interfere with the emergence of the God Star, but they can exert overall suppression and, to a certain extent, interference.

The powerful Divine Dragon Realm is so powerful that even spacetime turbulence probably cannot harm it, so ordinary methods cannot prevent the Divine Dragon Realm from advancing to become a divine star.

In fact, in Yan's memory, the Dragon God successfully forged the God Star, but due to the fall of his offspring and the influence of the laws of the universe, he became extremely insane, just like the Crimson Mother before him, and eventually went to self-destruction, which also destroyed everything.

The influence of the laws of the universe is very subtle. Just like the pain Yan is feeling now, especially the intense pain in his consciousness, it should have existed all along, but it seems that this pain has been amplified, amplified by the laws of the universe.

Furthermore, this interference is subtly influencing his mind and will gradually lead him to extremes, just as the Dragon God was fooled in the first place.

The root of this interference comes from external forces, namely the energy absorbed from the outside world, which is the easiest to be influenced.

The interference of the laws of the universe comes from the will of the universe, and the plane itself also has its own will. The two are related but not unified. Within the scope of the will of the plane, it is difficult for the will of the universe to exert influence.

Dimensions exist within the universe and are part of the balance of cosmic laws. Dimensional evolution is a threat to the cosmic laws, but it is one of the dimensions' instincts and is supported by the will of the dimensions.

Therefore, Yan is now having the gods cut off the influx of energy from the outside world, which is to sever the interference path of the laws of the universe, reduce the impact, and increase the chances of successful advancement.

Of course, there are risks involved in doing this. Advancement in dimensional evolution requires a huge amount of energy. Cutting off the intake of external energy can easily lead to insufficient energy and eventual failure. Therefore, this cannot be done at the beginning of the advancement. It must be done at the right time.

Now is the limit of what Yan can sustain, and cutting off the flow at this point to utilize the accumulated resources of the plane itself is the best choice.

Following Yan's command, the Silver Dragon King, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Bai Xiuxiu, and others stood in the void, radiating powerful divine energy to cut off the influx of external energy. At the same time, Yan felt his mind become clear and he felt much more comfortable.

"Buzz..."

The external energy was cut off, and the speed of the plane's evolution was interrupted. At this moment, the Tree of Life began to emit a strong radiance, and countless red lights under the earth rapidly transformed into immortal energy. The plane's origin was also forcibly taken to drive the evolution.

"My thinking is correct..."

The energy accumulated in the Douluo Continent plane was taking over from the incoming energy to carry out plane evolution. More energy flowed into his body, but Yan felt exceptionally relaxed. The pain was greatly reduced, and he even had a sense of natural and pleasant relief.

The immortal energy became increasingly clear and vibrant. Everything was changing. Douluo Star was expanding and changing, radiating a powerful belief towards more distant places, sensing more distant star fields and planes.

The countless stars that previously shone brightly in the universe have also undergone dramatic changes. Their life force is being subtly altered and enhanced by the influence of the Douluo Continent plane.

They began to become subordinate entities of the Douluo Continent plane, just like the countless planes previously controlled by the God Realm, thus gaining a path to advancement. Once the Douluo Continent plane successfully ascends to the God Realm, the top powerhouses of these planes will have the possibility of ascending to the God Realm.

The evolution of the Douluo Continent plane has gradually entered a virtuous cycle, and the wondrous changes in the laws are affecting everything.

Chapter 771 Half-Step to Supreme

In the core area of ​​the Douluo Continent, Yan's figure appeared in mid-air, unleashing extremely powerful divine might.

At this moment, he was like a piece of divine iron, constantly unleashing even greater power under the impact of various external forces.

His body contained immense energy. He looked up at the sky, his long hair flowing behind him. Brilliant light burst forth from his body, radiating an even stronger divine glow, and his body had begun to change.

His humanoid body instantly expanded, transforming into a colossal giant tens of thousands of feet tall in the blink of an eye. With a single long roar, his voice resounded throughout the world.

It was as if countless beings in the universe were responding to him, and the energy and aura from all directions were constantly connecting with his enormous divine body.

After transforming into a gigantic figure, his aura grew even stronger. The terrifying aura was filled with oppressive and maddening energy.

The gods, led by the Silver Dragon King, as well as beings like Ah Yin of the Tree of Life, could all feel a powerful suction force emanating from Yan's towering divine body. It was drawing in their energy, as if trying to pull everything from them and merge it into one.

"Everyone, step back a little further."

The Silver Dragon King's cautious instructions made many people understand the difficulty of this matter, and the wise naturally stayed away from this direction.

Yan's enormous divine body twisted and turned in the air, each twist giving people a breathtaking feeling, the energy contained in its body was simply too vast.

As Yan moved, the distorted light that had been faintly present outside his towering divine body gradually disappeared, and both the laws and the repulsive forces seemed to weaken. It wasn't a weakening that disappeared, but rather a feeling that the light dispersed to both sides, then condensed separately, becoming more solid.

At the head of the towering divine body, a pair of eyes that had been shining with divine light gradually became clear. The towering giant that Yan had transformed into began to change. Strands of holy light were receding, and in the process, the towering giant was also gradually shrinking.

As the colossal divine body shrank, the increasingly intense energy fluctuations made everything more difficult. The distorted light reappeared, and the restless power of the laws and the repulsion of the universe began to unstableally merge and collide once more.

Pain was clearly visible in the giant's eyes, but along with the pain, there was also a steadfast determination.

Yan remained clear-headed, manipulating the enormous divine body to continue compressing it. Soon, the overall height dropped below five thousand meters, and it continued to descend.

Meanwhile, on the surface of the giant's body, scale-like plates began to appear. These plates were not transparent, but incredibly deep, and each scale seemed to contain a small world within it, with increasingly intense energy fluctuations.

Around Yan's body, the thoughts of all living beings flickered, and countless noisy sounds echoed. Every piece of armor on his divine body became more and more exquisite, and every part seemed to reflect a world with dragons.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Yan far surpasses that of ordinary god-kings, rivaling that of the universe's only supreme dragon god at his peak.

When his divine body was compressed to a height of three thousand meters, streaks of lightning began to appear on the surface of his divine body. Under the swirling lightning, cracks began to appear on the armor plates. At first, it was just one piece, but soon there were many, spreading throughout his body like a chain reaction.

After cracking, these armor plates quickly approached a state of disintegration, but under Yan's divine light, they rapidly recovered. During this process, his eyes became increasingly firm and clear.

If Yan wants to surpass the Dragon God and forge a divine star, achieving what no god in this universe has ever accomplished, he must first become the only supreme god-king in the universe. However, to become a supreme god-king, one needs an extremely large amount of energy.

The immense divine power is merely the fundamental condition for becoming the sole ruler of the universe. In addition, he also needs to attract the attention and recognition of the laws of the universe to become a god-king who masters the sole laws of the universe, which is extremely difficult.

The Dragon God of that time did possess the former, but not the latter. Possessing the latter doesn't necessarily make one more powerful than simply possessing the former. However, it would truly earn the recognition of the universe and become an asset to the rules of the entire universe, a process that is far too difficult to achieve.

Yan is now taking advantage of the opportunity to advance to the God Realm in the Douluo Continent to start the trial of the laws of the universe. Once he succeeds, he will no longer be rejected by the universe. In fact, the universe will not reject him as he develops towards becoming a God Star.

He learned from the lessons of the former Dragon God and resolved this tribulation of cosmic rejection before ascending to the God Star. By the time he actually ascended, the difficulty would be much less, because by then, having overcome the tribulation, he would have been accepted by the universe and would be serving the rules of the universe.

Of course, achieving all these goals is extremely difficult, but Yan must meet the conditions now, because he has no way back and becoming a god star is inevitable.

His divine body was still being compressed. To become the supreme god-king, one must possess a size far exceeding that of an ordinary god-king. Vast divine power and energy were merely prerequisites.

As it continues to compress, the more powerful the explosion becomes at its peak, and the greater the power it generates, giving him the opportunity to undergo a transformative leap.

However, the process of compressing energy and gaining the recognition of the laws of the universe are extremely difficult. It is equivalent to adding another test of the universe to the process of ascending to the supreme god-king, which increases the difficulty. But Yan has his own ideas.

After the ten-thousand-foot-tall divine body fell below three thousand meters, it seemed to have broken through a certain barrier. The shrunken divine body became even more peculiar, and the compression process seemed to have accelerated a lot, making Yan's aura more and more condensed and powerful.

An incomparably terrifying divine sense suddenly erupted from his divine body. As this divine sense appeared, the entire divine realm behind Yan resonated with a melodious rhythm. At that moment, all the gods sensed the aura emanating from Yan, and were utterly astonished.

Although they had always known that Yan was extremely powerful, the mental storm triggered by his divine sense power at this moment was far beyond their imagination.

This fluctuation of divine consciousness was no longer at the simple God-King level. No one had expected that he had become so powerful without them even realizing it. What shocked them even more was the icy aura that Yan was emanating at this moment—how profound and powerful it was!

The mental storm triggered countless energy impacts to refine the divine body, compressing the already incredibly powerful divine body once again, quickly bringing it to a size of two thousand meters.

However, the smaller the divine body was, the greater the energy that Yan endured. It was so immense that it gave people an extremely unbearable feeling of oppression, as if it could explode on the spot at any moment.

"Gentlemen, it is time. Let us lend the God-King a hand."

Led by the Silver Dragon King, the gods summoned countless beings in the new God Realm of Douluo to contribute their strength. Ultimately, guided by the Tree of Life, a massive amount of divine power, soul power, and spiritual faith converged on Yan's divine body.

His divine body trembled and suddenly shrank by a thousand meters, shrinking from two thousand meters to just one thousand meters in length.

A dazzling nine-colored light illuminated the sky. In that instant, the aura emanating from Yan was as vast and boundless as an abyss. More importantly, its form had shrunk to a thousand meters, and the oppressive sense of danger from the energy that seemed ready to explode at any moment had vanished. In its place was stability. A unique kind of steadfastness.

Yan's eyes were incredibly clear at this moment, revealing an extreme calmness, exuding the majesty of a supreme god-king.

His aura was accumulating, all his power was harmonizing within him, and the auras of gods and all living beings were merging together, seemingly being gradually suppressed by him. On his body, an extremely complex halo was gradually taking shape.

Complex dragon-shaped patterns were rapidly being drawn, each pattern seemingly telling a story—the story of Yan.

"The void becomes a god, and the gods know it themselves."

The Silver Dragon King exclaimed in a low voice. She was not far from the realm of God-King and had naturally heard of the power of this level. This was the path to advancement for the Supreme God-King. The strange phenomenon before her eyes was clearly a powerful deity sketching out his own divine position.

Most importantly, this is not about consolidating a divine position within the realm of gods, but about seizing one's own authority in the void universe to prove the supreme Dao.

This is equivalent to him creating his own laws within the laws of the universe. This requires a strong foundation of divine power and a profound understanding of the laws. The realm of the Supreme God-King is not so easy to achieve.

The colorful halo in the void universe became clearer and clearer, and the whole world seemed to be trembling slightly. The divine realm behind Yan also fluctuated slightly, as if it was sensing Yan's call and fluctuating continuously, as if it was responding to him.

“Yan is not in a good state right now. His mind has not fully returned, but his power is still growing and he is constantly drawing on the power of the divine realm to strengthen himself.”

After carefully observing Yan, the Silver Dragon King said in a deep voice, "The position of a deity is outlined in the void. Once completed, it will directly give birth to the divine power belonging to him and will directly absorb the surrounding power, especially the immortal spiritual energy."

Our divine realm is currently only barely advancing; if it is plundered too much, it will lead to its collapse. This must be stopped, but Yan's advancement cannot be interrupted. His absorption needs must be met for now, until he regains his senses.

As she spoke, she looked at the Tree of Life, Ah Yin. Ah Yin hesitated for a moment before nodding and replying, "I have only barely advanced to the level of a True God, and I can only mobilize a small amount of energy. I need your help and cooperation to draw a large amount of cosmic energy from the God Realm."

"can."

All the gods agreed to the proposal. The Silver Dragon King Na'er, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Bai Xiuxiu and other deities stood in their respective positions, and the gods worked together to activate the divine array to draw cosmic energy from the Tree of Life.

A ring of azure-gold halos rippled outwards, with faint green halos shimmering within. The incredibly dense life energy was almost condensed into droplets, a change that only occurs when the divine power of life is elevated to its extreme.

A golden river of turquoise flowed across the sky and reached Yan. The divine light emanating from his body immediately seized it, and then his aura became even more profound, indicating an improvement in his life level.

"So much energy has been absorbed, why isn't it over yet?"

"I'm completely exhausted, I feel like I'm about to collapse, if this continues, we're all doomed."

"But there's not much we can do right now. The God-King is too powerful. We can't stop him by attacking him!"

In various parts of the New God Realm, some of the top experts within the divine arrays gradually could not hold on any longer, and their hearts began to waver. If these people hadn't been completely powerless in the New God Realm, there might already be gods attacking Yan.

Yan fell into a special state and kept absorbing energy, but the foundation of the new god realm was too weak to withstand such continuous absorption, so stopping his behavior was something the gods had to do.

However, there are different ways to stop it. Apart from the current method of having the gods help Yan collect energy for him to devour, there is an even simpler and more direct method: attacking Yan in a special state to bring him back to his senses.

This method carries certain risks and could very well disrupt Yan's opportunity. The higher-ups in the New God Realm are all Yan's own people, so of course they are unwilling to do this. However, as time goes by, some people's ideas change, and it is inevitable that people's hearts will waver.

Silver Dragon King Na'er and Bibi Dong, along with other powerful figures, naturally noticed the discussions among the people below. Their own situation was also precarious, and they faced immense pressure. However, they would not give up on helping Yan until the very last moment.

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, intense divine light rapidly spread across the sky of the new divine realm, surrounded by a faint nine-colored halo, and the madness in Yan's eyes seemed to have diminished.

The gods, led by the Silver Dragon King Na'er and Bibi Dong, felt a sense of relief. The divine array that had nearly drained the immortal energy from the entire divine realm collapsed instantly, and divine power and immortal energy quickly dispersed, helping the new divine realm to stabilize again.

Are you all alright?

Yan came to Qian Renxue and Bai Xiuxiu and gave each of them a wisp of divine power. Then he went to Bibi Dong, Na'er, Qiu'er and the others and used his own divine power to help them recover.

His eyes had become clear, and everything seemed peaceful and content, less cold than before, and more ethereal.

"We were just overexerted, nothing much happened. What about you? Did you successfully break through?"

Silver Dragon King Na'er shook her head, then asked Yan a question that many people wanted to know. All eyes instinctively turned to Yan, and everyone waited for his answer.

"You also know that the energy required to advance to the highest level is enormous, and the current newly formed God Realm simply cannot support it."

Yan shook his head and said something that disappointed the others. Then he continued, "However, I am confident that I can break through to the Supreme Realm. All I lack is the accumulation of energy. The breakthrough is only a matter of time. Right now, I am considered to be half a step into the Supreme Realm."

Chapter 772 Entering the Black Hole

Half-step to the supreme realm, a strange state below the only supreme god-king in the universe, has already achieved absolute confidence in breaking through, but is just lacking some accumulation.
