Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 362 Tang Hao's Will Awakens! Destruction Artifact!
The magnificent voice, like a resounding bell, instantly echoed throughout the heavens and earth, silencing the entire audience!
The earth trembled continuously, and countless hideous cracks spread across vast areas of space. A delicate wisp of ash drifted out from the space, floating in the air like a goose feather.

"Clang!"

But the next moment, a sword-like sound like the clash of swords rang out, and a sharp sword light flashed within the ashes. A gray-white cross-shaped longsword seemed to pierce through the void, carrying the endless killing intent of the undead, and crashed through space, slashing towards Wu Jun like an inverted Milky Way.

"Who?!"

Sensing the deadly killing intent, Wu Jie felt his scalp tingle instantly. The staff that was originally pointing at Jiang Xiu quickly twisted, and a beam of dark blue demonic light was about to burst out.

"Crack!"

"Pfft!"

But in the next instant, the Hades Sword slashed through the sky, and countless phantoms of the dead spread out, instantly piercing through space and arriving in front of Wu Jie. As the dazzling sword light swept past, the demon staff in Wu Jie's hand shattered with a crash, followed by the sound of blood splattering.

"Ah!" Wu Jun let out a low, sinister roar, his ancient, dark blue eyes filled with both shock and anger, as well as hatred.

"Clap!"

The staff, broken into countless pieces, fell to the ground, and drops of dark blue demon blood stained the earth, blooming into clusters of ghostly blue blood flowers.

And on the ground to the side, three old fingers lay quietly, and those were the fingers that Wu Jie had used to hold the staff!
Bazar, who was standing nearby, froze instantly upon seeing this scene.

A powerful demon lord of similar quasi-god level had three fingers severed in a single blow!

"Ding!"

The Hades Sword drew a graceful arc, returning to the exquisite ashes with a crisp sword sound.

But the next moment, a huge bronze coffin fell from the sky, carrying a strong aura of the dead, and crashed into the very center of the battlefield.

In an instant, a tremendous suction force came, and the death energy and nether energy generated by the death of the demon were all absorbed by the bronze coffin.

Just then, the mournful howls of the dead suddenly rang out, and the purplish-black sky suddenly turned gray, with a pale gray spreading from the ashes. Under that gray cover, all sounds on the battlefield seemed to disappear.

The howls of demons, the deafening roars of explosions... everything came to an abrupt halt under the gray hue, and all the surrounding colors vanished at that moment. Gray ashes drifted in the air, as if mourning the dead, or as if welcoming the arrival of a king.

"You dare to touch my people? You seem to have a death wish..."

A cold voice rang out, and a tall figure clad in gray armor appeared, instantly silencing the heavens and earth. The ashes filling the sky seemed to have been created specifically for him.

"Who are you?" Wu Jie growled in a low, ruthless voice, his bewitching vertical pupil between his brows flashing incessantly, a terrifying energy brewing within it.

He had already sensed it; the longsword that had just severed his finger was indeed a true divine weapon!

"Grey, the undead... This terrifying aura... it's like the Grey Terror, Harossa, from back then!"

Looking at the sky filled with withered ashes, Yuanen Zhentian seemed to have thought of something, his eyes filled with disbelief.

But the next moment, Yuanen Zhentian shook his head, denying his own idea.

Harosa was clearly killed by the Heavenly Favored Douluo of Shrek Academy and the Ancient Dieting of the Spirit Pagoda. Even his body was collected by the Federation. How could he still be alive?

"Besides being a disciple of the Body Sect, what other identity does this brat have?"
They even managed to find such a powerful ally!

Yuan Entian, standing to one side, was even more shocked. Jiang Xiu had indeed told them beforehand that a powerful expert would come to help, but he hadn't said that the expert was this strong!
"Who I am is not important; what matters is that you are going to die."

The Underworld Emperor spoke indifferently, his ashen eyes devoid of any emotion.

"furious!"

"You say I'm going to die? I was just careless and didn't dodge properly. Do you think you can still succeed in a sneak attack?"

Wu Jun roared, his eyes blazing with fury. The bewitching vertical pupil between his brows seemed to contain terrifying dark purple lightning, and a strange aura of destruction gradually spread out.

He has that magical artifact too!

Furthermore, this is his fourth time descending upon the Douluo Continent, and he might even gain the favor of the Demon Spirit. How could he possibly retreat so easily!
And, in the shadows, Wu Jing controlled one of the three fingers that had just fallen, silently moving it towards Bazar...

Just then, the Eye of Life between Jiang Xiu's brows suddenly moved, and a green-gold soul ring full of life force rose up beneath Jiang Xiu's feet.

"Underworld Emperor, finish this quickly! That person is about to awaken!"

As a child of nature, Jiang Xiu was sensing the awakening of the will of heaven and earth, which was none other than the spirit of the plane, Tang Hao!

The arrival of the Demon Passage in the Douluo Continent was a commotion that could not possibly fail to awaken Tang Hao.

They must enter the Demon Dimension before Tang Hao discovers this place!
"Understood." The Underworld Emperor nodded slightly, then raised the Underworld Sword and looked intently at Wu Jie.

The next instant, a crisp sword cry rang out, and the Underworld Emperor's figure fiercely rushed towards Wu Jie. "Let this old man test you!" Wu Jie's face turned fierce, and the sound of him chanting a demonic incantation rang out. A pair of ferocious ram horns shot out from the top of his head, and demonic arrays surged wildly from the ground.

Unlike Bazar, who has pure royal demon blood, Wu Jie comes from the bloodline of a demon wizard.

Suddenly, layers of magnificent demonic formations appeared on the ground, unleashing a barrage of demonic attacks—fire, ice, curses, darkness—all madly swarming towards the Underworld Emperor.

Bazar then faced off against Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang once again.

However, half of Bazar's mind was not on the battle, but on Wu Jie, because he knew very well that he would not be able to get rid of Yuan En and his son in a short time, so Wu Jie was his last hope.

Furthermore, he is conserving his strength now, so that once Wu Jie falls into a disadvantageous position and everyone's attention is on Wu Jie, he will seize the opportunity to stab him in the back and escape...

"Father, how do you think the helper that brat hired is going to fight this demon lord?" Yuan Entian asked secretly.

Yuan Enzhen forced Bazar back with a powerful punch, and replied carefully:

"The expert that Young Friend Jiang invited is very strong. The two are probably evenly matched in terms of combat power, but the difference between quasi-gods is very small. For the time being, that expert will probably have a hard time directly suppressing that demon lord."

Yuan Entian also thought it made sense after hearing this.

When a near-god faces another near-god, it's probably just like when a demigod faces another demigod; neither will be able to directly suppress the other.

After all, no demigod can be completely crushed by another demigod...

"His vertical pupil between his brows is actually a divine artifact, and one with destructive attributes at that!"

Jiang Xiu, watching the battle between Wu Jie and the Underworld Emperor, raised an eyebrow and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Furthermore, he sensed that the Eye of Life between his brows was actually developing a slight desire for the divine artifact between Wu Bo's brows!
"My Eye of Life currently represents the attribute of life, while the artifact between the opponent's brows has the attribute of destruction. If I can fuse with the opponent's artifact, then it will be a fusion of life and destruction... What kind of changes will that produce?"

"Moreover, my Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul also possesses extreme destructive attributes..."

Jiang Xiu pondered, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

This magical artifact is destined for him!
However, Jiang Xiu was still somewhat puzzled. How could this black boil possess a divine artifact with destructive attributes? Furthermore, according to the feedback from the Seed of Life, the level of destructive energy nurtured within that artifact was extremely high…

Then, Jiang Xiu shook his head, watching the battle between the Underworld Emperor and Wu Jie while slaughtering the demons gushing out from the Demon Gate.

The demon army that has now surged forth is no longer just under Bazar's command, but also includes demon wizards under Wu Jie's command.

"Hmm? What is that bronze coffin that the Underworld Emperor brought?" Suddenly, Jiang Xiu looked at the bronze coffin that was constantly absorbing death energy, his eyes flickering slightly.

He remembered that the Hades Sword, the divine weapon in the hands of the Hades Emperor, was forged by himself. Could it be that the Hades Emperor wanted to forge another divine weapon using the death energy of the dead?
So who is this coffin for?
However, Jiang Xiu immediately suppressed his thoughts and continued to observe his surroundings, while releasing the instincts of the Child of Nature to the limit, keeping a watchful eye on Tang Hao who was awakening.

"Boom! Boom!"

On the battlefield, countless demonic formations rose up, and thick bolts of dark purple destructive lightning roared out continuously from between Wu Ke's eyebrows.

Under the control of the quasi-god level Wu Bo, each bolt of lightning could easily annihilate a titled Douluo-level powerhouse!
"Clang! Clang!"

A violent collision resounded as the Underworld Emperor, wielding the Underworld Sword, unleashed a barrage of attacks imbued with the aura of the undead. The sword beams, stretching for a thousand meters, continued to slash down, instantly obliterating countless newly formed demonic formations.

Meanwhile, several deep, bone-revealing wounds had appeared on Wu Jing's body, and demon blood was dripping continuously.

This time, he also personally experienced the terror of the Underworld Emperor, realizing that there are differences even among quasi-gods!

"Majestic Heavenly Might! Destruction of the Origin... Destruction of the World!"

As the Underworld Emperor drew ever closer, Wu Jie's eyes hardened, and he channeled all the demonic power within him into the vertical pupil artifact between his brows.

This divine artifact was crafted by him personally, and its foundation is a divine fragment possessing destructive power, which he plundered when he first descended upon the Douluo Continent...

As the power of the Black Boil Demon poured in, a terrifying destructive force instantly brewed. Countless dark purple lightning bolts flashed, and a purple thunderbolt carrying the power to destroy everything exploded, obliterating the surrounding space and swaying as it rushed towards the Underworld Emperor.

Wu Jie looked at the Underworld Emperor with a mocking smile, as if he was about to get his revenge. This was his sure-kill blow!
Although it was only one strike, and the Underworld Emperor couldn't possibly dodge it!

"Hmm? Interesting!"

The Underworld Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. He could sense that the power of this attack was close to that of a true divine strike, and it had already locked onto his aura, making it impossible to avoid.

However, when he thought of the great battle that would soon take place in the Demon Realm, a gray light flashed in the Hades Emperor's eyes, and he slightly raised the Hades Sword, causing the surrounding aura of the dead to instantly become even stronger.

Just as the destructive lightning was about to strike the Underworld Emperor, a tall figure riding a hell steed suddenly appeared and fiercely blocked the Underworld Emperor's path.

"Don't hurt my lord!"
