Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 102 Is she really just a first-level god?

Harosa steadied himself, his grey-white eyes sharp as knives, instantly sweeping over the shrunken versions of the two demon god paper figures, as well as the ominous black figure in the center of the altar.

The mixture of fear, despair, and the grotesque expressions on the faces of the Lava Blade Demon and the Shadow Assassin Demon, as if they had swallowed dead flies, set off alarm bells in his mind!

"Oh no! Is this place a one-way street?!" Harosa's mind raced, and without hesitation, he retreated rapidly towards the light barrier with flowing holy golden patterns at the edge of the altar!

He reached out, attempting to touch the seemingly thin golden light barrier.

Breastfeed!

A sharp, almost burning pain instantly shot through my fingertips! The light emanating from that barrier was a pure, sacred aura of light that possessed a powerful repulsive and purifying effect on all sources of "death," "darkness," and "evil"!

This is a sanction against them!

The source of death within Harosa's body (accounting for about 60%) was as if it had encountered its nemesis. It instantly surged violently, was forcibly suppressed, and even began to be "purified" and annihilated thread by thread!

"Hiss!" Harosa gasped, abruptly withdrawing his hand. A sharp pain shot through his fingertips, the sensation of his death essence being purified was crystal clear! He immediately mobilized the 40% of his life essence that represented the "flow of life and death," covering his fingertips like warm water, and touched the light barrier again.

This time, the stinging sensation disappeared! The aura of holy light remained powerful, but it no longer exerted a strong offensive effect on the source of rebirth.

It was as if the two forces existed in different dimensions and did not interfere with each other.

It appears that the source of rebirth is like the most resilient armor, shielding the source of death from direct harm by the light barrier.

"I see!" Harosa understood. "This magic array only controls entry, not exit! Or rather, its suppression and purification of 'evil' primarily targets internal breakthroughs! When it was forced in just now, the power was concentrated on the restriction and transfer, and this purifying property was ignored."

He instantly realized that as long as he used the essence of rebirth to envelop the essence of death within his body and isolate it from direct contact with the light barrier, he could greatly reduce the speed of purification and allow him to safely pass through the light barrier and leave!

Perhaps the "harmless" nature of this light barrier to his original source of rebirth could even become an aid?

If he could transform all the remaining death essence within his body into a higher level of rebirth essence, he would very likely condense the fifth divine ring, or even touch the threshold of the sixth divine ring, and step into the realm of a second-level god in one fell swoop!

Just as Harosa was racking his brains, preparing to immediately take action and leave this place of trouble—"Roar!!! It's all your fault! Damn Douluo!"

"Why?! Why can't they obediently be sacrificed to us?! All Douluo people deserve to die!!!"

"Our Demon Realm was destroyed by the Douluo people! Why can't you Douluo people fix it yourselves?!"

Two roars filled with extreme resentment and madness exploded behind him! The shrunken bodies of the Lava Blade Demon and the Shadow Assassin Demon unleashed the remaining, still ferocious, magical energy after being suppressed. Their crimson eyes and compound eyes were filled with hysterical madness, like beasts driven to the brink of despair, wanting to pour all their fear and despair onto Harossa!

They gave up thinking, gave up struggling, and had only one thought left—to drag this despicable Douluo down with them before destruction came!

Two attacks, each imbued with dark gold hellfire and ghostly purple corrosive energy, tore through the viscous golden energy and black ripples within the altar like two poisonous dragons, viciously devouring Harossa's back!

Harosa's face instantly darkened to the point of being dripping with water, and a chilling killing intent rose from the bottom of his heart!

"I'll replenish the password coins."

"Surrender? Sacrifice me with blood?" He whirled around, a gray-brown, decaying wood-colored halo suddenly illuminating behind him, and the underworld chant emitted a blood-drinking hum. "Do you really think I'm made of clay?!"

Without further hesitation, he charged forward to meet the attack head-on! In that instant, his mind raced, and the immense power of his rebirth essence surged forth like a bursting dam, instantly enveloping the 60% of death essence within! A layer of warm yet resilient gray-brown divine light covered his entire body!

Meow Meow!

When the demonic attack, imbued with hellfire and corrosive power, touched the divine light of rebirth on Harossa's body, it immediately emitted a violent corrosive sound! But an even more violent reaction occurred between the demon god's attack itself and the altar environment!

The core space of this altar is filled with incomparably pure holy light energy transformed from the angel's holy sword! The demon god's attack, its evil origin, is like a torch in the darkness, instantly triggering a violent backlash from the laws of the entire space!

Yu Yiyi!

The golden divine runes surrounding the altar suddenly erupted with blinding light! Like countless sacred chains, they appeared out of thin air and coiled around the Shadow Assassin Demon and the Lava Blade Demon! The power of their attacks was drastically reduced under the suppression of the sacred light, and their speed was slowed down several times! Even the circulation of demonic divine power within their bodies became extremely sluggish!

"Now!" Harosa's eyes flashed with a cold light! This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

"A Lament for the Underworld: Rebirth and Annihilation!"

His figure was like a ghost blending into space. Under the powerful suppression of demons by the divine laws, his speed advantage was amplified to the extreme! His target was the Shadow Assassin Demon, who was now even more suppressed, smaller in size, and had already been severely injured by him!

The sword of the Underworld Lament was completely enveloped in a deep gray-brown divine light, and the tip of the sword was condensed with an ultimate sharpness that seemed to be able to end the cycle of reincarnation!

Harosa didn't choose fancy sword techniques, only the purest speed and power!

By taking advantage of the sacred environment of the altar to naturally suppress demons, and by taking advantage of the moment when the Shadow Assassin's own power is disrupted and he is startled!

Pfft meow!

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

The grayish-brown sword light pierced through the Shadow Assassin's dark purple protective magic energy, which was hastily gathered by the Holy Chains, without any hindrance, and precisely pierced into the core of its carapace-covered chest cavity—the energy node that had been pierced by the Holothel Cave before!

"No... no!" The Shadow Assassin's enormous compound eyes were filled with utter shock and bewilderment; it hadn't even seen how Harossa had made his move. The terrifying power of rebirth, mixed with the devouring properties of the Netherworld Chant, surged forth like a burst dam, instantly destroying its remaining core!

Let's drink!

A grayish-brown sword light pierced through its body! The Shadow Assassin's body stiffened abruptly, and the dark purple armor covering its entire body instantly lost all its luster.

Like weathered rock, it cracks inch by inch!

Before it could even utter a scream, its enormous body (after shrinking relatively) was transformed into black ashes, scattered everywhere and carrying the stench of sulfur, like an ice block thrown into a furnace, under the illumination of holy light and the erosion of the divine power of rebirth! A magic core, shimmering with a dark purple light and containing part of its divine essence, fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Shadow!!!" The Lava Blade Demon roared, a sound so shrill it was inhuman, watching helplessly as his companions vanished before his eyes! The extreme fear was instantly replaced by an even more frenzied madness! "Ahhh!!! Die! Die together! All Douluo should die! Demons live forever!!!"

It went completely mad! Ignoring the intense burning pain from the holy chains binding its body and the stagnation caused by the suppressed divine power within its body, it charged madly towards Harosa and Atun in the center of the altar like a giant lava bomb that had ignited all its energy, with a determination to perish together with its opponent!

It unleashed all the remaining demonic power within its body! Dark golden magma spewed forth from the crevices of its stomach, causing its entire body to swell and radiate destructive energy!

Boom! ...

The terrifying energy shockwave from the Lava Blade Demon's self-destruction exploded like a dark golden sun of destruction at the core of the altar! The raging demonic power mixed with the detonated holy light energy formed a destructive energy turbulence that crashed violently against the golden light shield enveloping Atong!

Click!

A crystal-clear cracking sound rang out! The golden light shield, already bearing the constant impact of Atong's attacks, finally succumbed to the terrifying explosion from both inside and outside, instantly becoming covered with spiderweb-like cracks like fragile glass! Countless tiny golden light fragments scattered like stars!

In the center of the altar, the stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in magnificent black robes, who had been sleeping soundly, trembled slightly with her tightly closed eyelashes.

The moment the Lava Blade Demon lunged, Harosa sensed a deadly threat! Without hesitation, he unleashed the full power of his Rebirth Source.

He firmly enveloped the source of death within his body, transforming into a streak of grayish-brown light, and crashed fiercely into the weak point of the cracked light shield—the point where the Lava Blade Demon Eye had exploded!

La!

Like piercing through a cracked ice surface, Harosa narrowly escaped the collapsing light barrier! Just as he broke free, a deafening roar echoed behind him as the light barrier shattered completely!

He landed outside the altar, looking back in shock.

The golden light barrier completely dissipated into a shower of light. At the core of the altar, the woman dressed in an elaborate and ornate black dress—Atong—...

Slowly, he sat up.

She opened her eyes.

There were no whites in their eyes, no pupils. Only an endless darkness, pure to the extreme, seemingly capable of swallowing all light!

The darkness resembled two miniature, rotating black holes—cold, deathly silent, and indifferent, exuding an absolute pressure that seemed to scorn even ants. A mere glance from them made Harosa, who had just escaped danger, feel his blood freeze, and even the movement of his divine sense became incredibly difficult!

Harosa had a bad feeling. What kind of eyes were those?!

Atong's gaze first fell on the turbulent energy lingering in the core of the altar—the lingering vortex of energy left behind by the Lava Blade Demon's self-destruction—and the dark purple demon core left behind by the Shadow Assassin Demon.

She raised a slender, pale, bloodless hand. That hand was as perfect as a work of art.

With her slender, jade-like fingers, she gently touched the raging energy turbulence and the demonic core.

Metaphor!

An invisible, terrifying force, seemingly capable of controlling life and death, descended!

The raging energy turbulence, powerful enough to destroy mountains, was instantly frozen and collapsed, as if forcibly grasped by an invisible hand! Along with the demonic core containing the essence of the Shadow Assassin's divine nature, it was forcibly compressed and refined, transforming into an incomparably pure stream of purplish-black primordial energy.

Like a gentle stream, it silently seeped into Atong's pointed fingertip.

A faint blush (or rather, a healthy glow) seemed to return to her pale face, and the dark ripples around her became more solid and profound, while the aura she exuded also subtly increased.

After doing all this, Atun's pure, dark eyes slowly and without a trace of emotion turned, finally settling on Harosa, who had just broken out of the light barrier and was standing at the edge of the altar.

Boom!

A terrifying will, a hundred times stronger than before, icy cold, and seemingly capable of freezing the soul, instantly enveloped Harosa completely!

He felt as if he had been thrown into the depths of an icy sea at absolute zero, or as if he were being stared at by a primordial beast from ancient times!

Every cell is sending out a piercing alarm! The flow of divine power within the body has almost come to a standstill!

"Don't look at me!"

Harosa's heart felt as if it had been gripped by an invisible hand! Almost instinctively and with great difficulty, he looked away, not daring to meet those pure, dark eyes that seemed to devour his soul. The mere exchange of glances was enough to shake him to his core, as if if he looked any longer, his soul would be completely sucked away and crushed by that boundless darkness!

Inside the temple, a strange balance was formed between sacred radiance and surging darkness. On the altar, an ancient being, just awakened, and the otherworldly god of rebirth faced off in a silent confrontation.

The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the faint sound of golden light scattering and the suffocating, terrifying aura emanating from an absolute suppression of life.

"Is she really just a first-level god?!"
