Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 301 Divine Laws
"Elf, you may have some ability, but don't forget, this is my territory! Since you insist on staying here, then become nourishment for this place!" The Corpse-Eating Scorpion let out a deafening roar, the sound echoing throughout the underground world for a long time.

In an instant, countless demons surged towards Xia Die from all directions like a tidal wave. They bared their fangs and claws, emitting chilling screams, as if they wanted to completely engulf Xia Die in an instant. "May death end your long dream," Xia Die murmured softly, her tone as gentle as a breeze. In this dark and perilous night forest, she was enveloped in a purple light—a light that turned the surrounding night into day.

Countless purple lights converged here, resembling faint fireflies, yet exuding a chilling aura of death. Any scorpion that attempted to approach was instantly swallowed up by this deathly aura.

The Corpse-Devouring Scorpion stood silently to the side, coldly watching its servants rush towards the Butterfly like moths to a flame.

Its turbid, blood-red compound eyes narrowed slightly as it secretly plotted: use these countless servants to wear down Xiaodie's strength, and when she is exhausted, it will personally take action and surely kill this arrogant elf in one fell swoop.

“Now, it’s your turn.” Xia Die’s figure suddenly flashed, as fast as a ghost, and instantly teleported behind the Corpse-Devouring Scorpion.

In an instant, the huge scythe in her hand, gleaming with an eerie light, was suddenly raised high. A massive, purplish-black scythe shadow, carrying a chilling aura of death and with the force of a thunderbolt, slashed down fiercely at the Corpse-Eating Scorpion.

"Heavenly Protection"

The Corpse-Devouring Scorpion keenly sensed the deadly danger and immediately activated its Heavenly Protection without hesitation. A strange, flowing light instantly rose around its body, resembling a shield forged from refined steel, exuding an indestructible and coldly hard texture.

But the moment the purple scythe shadow struck the shield, the shield, which seemed capable of withstanding a thousand pounds of force, shattered like paper, emitting a crisp and ear-piercing cracking sound.

The massive body of the Corrupting Soul-Devouring Scorpion was severely injured, and it crashed to the ground. The enormous impact of the fall crushed a group of servants who couldn't dodge in time, turning them into a bloody mess. Blood and bits of flesh splattered everywhere, a gruesome scene too painful to bear. "Impossible! How can an elf possess such terrifying power!" The Corrupting Soul-Devouring Scorpion's eyes widened in shock, filled with disbelief—it had dominated this territory for many years and never imagined it would be defeated by a seemingly weak elf.

"May you return to the embrace of death." Xia Die's expression was as cold as ice as she raised her scythe once more. A huge purple scythe shadow, shrouded in the heavy aura of death, cleaved down from the sky, like the Grim Reaper's deadly blade, ready to mercilessly take lives.

The Corpse-Devouring Scorpion's mountain-like body was torn to shreds in an instant, like a fragile ant before the scythe's shadow. Its offspring and servants were also utterly annihilated by this overwhelming power, turning into dust that filled the sky.

[Waaaaah, I take back what I said about running away! Sister Xia Die is too amazing!]

[I almost threw my phone when the Soul-Devouring Scorpion appeared! But when Sister Xia Die teleported behind me, I jumped right out of bed!]

[I was worried that too many servants would wear her down, but I was too naive... The boss didn't even consider those little monsters a threat!]

[The crisp sound of the Heavenly Armor shattering! It gave me goosebumps! Is this the crushing power of absolute strength?]

"May you return to the embrace of death"—that line is so chilling! When her eyes turned cold, I actually felt weak in the knees more than if it were a monster (not really)!

[Who remembers people saying the elf looks weak at the beginning? Come out and take your beating! This isn't weak, it's hiding its strength!] [Just now the chat was full of "Run!", now it's full of "Sister is so strong!" Our livestream's main theme is being opportunistic (doge)]

[When that final scythe shadow fell, I could even see the details of the monster shattering into dust... The visuals were amazing, and the power was even more amazing!] [Congratulations to Dragon Kingdom player Xia Die for defeating the Underworld Overlord—Rotting Soul-Devouring Scorpion (S-rank), and obtaining the Eye of Enlightenment.]

After dealing with the remaining traces of the Soul-Eating Scorpion, the group continued deeper into the basin.

Just as they were about to reach the edge of the core circle, the Dark Gold Bear, which had been leading the way, suddenly stopped. Its previously composed expression gradually became hesitant, and it gently scratched at the ground with its paws, as if it had some concerns.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop walking?"

“Further in, we’ll reach the heart of this entire Spirit Spring Basin.” Dark Gold Bear’s voice lowered, tinged with hesitation. “I’m afraid… we might alert the Queen.”

It raised its paw and pointed deep into the core circle, then looked at Xia Die and the others, its tone becoming more serious: "Are you really sure? The Queen is a Martial Venerable level expert. If you really provoke her, it won't be so easy to get away later."

"Don't worry, just lead the way." Xia Die's fingertips caressed the purple patterns on the scythe handle, her voice as light as grass leaves covered in morning dew, but her eyes revealed a cold, sharp light.

The Dark Gold Bear stared at her for a long time, a low growl rumbling in its throat. Having lived for nearly a hundred years, it had seen countless peak Martial Venerable cultivators, all of whom treated the words "Martial Venerable" as a minefield. They'd avoid them like the plague. But this elf was doing the opposite. It was no match for the Corrosive Soul-Devouring Scorpion, and judging from her tone, she wasn't afraid of alarming the Queen at all; she clearly hoped to run into her, to test the majesty of that Martial Herb.

It couldn't help but shake its head, its claws digging even tighter into the ground: "Are you serious? The Queen's aura is no joke. Last time, a demonic cultivator at the mid-stage of Martial Venerable accidentally entered the inner circle. He didn't even get to see the Queen before she broke three of his ribs with a wisp of her aura."

"Who goes there?" From deep within the inner circle, a charming female voice drifted out, the last syllable carrying a cool sweetness, yet it seemed to freeze the air slightly.

Dark Gold Bear's face turned pale instantly—it was the Queen's voice!

Oh no, oh no! It thought the queen was still sleeping in the nest, but who would have thought she would wake up early!

At this point, there was no time to worry about anything else! The next second, the Dark Gold Bear "poof" rolled into a fluffy ball, kicked off with its four paws, and scrambled away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The Queen's voice drifted out again, carrying a hint of languor from just waking up, yet it held an undeniable air of authority: "You have trespassed into my forbidden area, and you do have some skill, managing to handle my beast guards."

She paused, her voice rising slightly at the end, a chilling glint in her eyes: "So, you've probably been prepared to pay with your life all along, haven't you?"
