Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

After carefully instructing Elex and Yuan Hua, father and son, on matters concerning the Rebirth God Realm, especially the task of drawing upon the lightning tribulation clouds to strengthen the world's rules, Harosa did not linger. With a flash of gray-black light, his figure vanished from the Rebirth God Realm.

The next moment, high above the Star Dou Great Forest on the Douluo Continent.

Harosa appeared silently above the clouds, beyond the effective range of the Federation's soul-guided monitoring network below. He looked down at this primeval land, which was highly "protected" by humans.

The first thing that catches the eye is the massive metal wall that encircles the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. The wall soars into the clouds, its entire surface gleaming with a cold alloy luster, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight. From high above, it looks like a giant steel chain, firmly imprisoning the core area.

The sheer scale and visual impact of the project are truly breathtaking. Harosa knew that although the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest was only a small part of the original forest, its actual area was still vast. The manpower and resources the Federation had invested to completely enclose such a vast area were terrifying.

"All show and no substance," Harosa thought to himself. This wall might be an insurmountable chasm for ordinary people or low-level Soul Masters, but for true powerhouses, such as himself or those in the core circle, it was probably no different from a thin sheet of paper, easily broken with a flick of the wrist.

Its symbolic meaning far outweighs its actual defensive significance; it is more like a declaration and isolation of this dangerous area by humankind, and a symbol of humankind's conquest of the Starry Sky Forest.

His gaze pierced through the clouds and the distance of space, landing precisely on the depths of the core circle, on the shore of the Lake of Life.

On the shore, a tall and imposing man dressed in black stood with his hands behind his back. He was none other than Di Tian, ​​the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the overt ruler of the soul beasts and the Beast God.

His face was resolute, his eyes a pure gold, deep as an ancient pool, containing an indescribable sense of vicissitude and majesty. Not far behind him, one could faintly sense the auras of several equally powerful, but slightly inferior, ferocious beasts.

The moment Harosa's gaze fell upon him, Di Tian seemed to sense something. A very subtle ripple flickered deep within his calm golden eyes, like a stone thrown into an ancient well.

He did not show any obvious hostility or surprise; he simply swayed and disappeared from the spot as if merging into space.

The next moment, Di Tian's figure appeared in the void not far from Harossa, facing him from a distance. His appearance was completely unexpected, as if he had always been there. Clearly, the high metal walls that humans regarded as cages were useless to him.

Di Tian's golden eyes calmly gazed at Harosa. The human before him possessed a deep, restrained aura, like a bottomless abyss, inspiring a sense of unfathomable apprehension in him. He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic, revealing neither joy nor anger:

"Among humanity, another powerful being has emerged—you."

This statement was both a statement of fact and a probe. He needed to ascertain the other party's position.

Harosa gave a faint smile, looked directly into Di Tian's golden eyes, and corrected him:

"It is because a powerful figure like me has emerged from the Douluo Continent."

His answer was subtle, emphasizing his own power while indirectly indicating that he did not represent the Federation of Humanity.

The barely perceptible scrutiny deep in Di Tian's eyes seemed to relax slightly. The fact that the other party did not claim to be a "human powerhouse" was very important.

This at least shows that the mysterious figure before them is not one of the same kind as the high-ranking members of the Human Federation who covet soul beast resources and intend to compress the living space of soul beasts.

The two stood high in the sky, a moment of silence falling between them. The wind howled, yet it could not shake them in the slightest. Di Tian waited for the other to explain his purpose, while Harosa observed this beast god with over 800,000 years of cultivation, assessing his wisdom and power.

Finally, Di Tian broke the silence, his voice still steady, his golden pupils locking onto Harosa:

"So, what brings you, a powerful figure from the Douluo Continent, here to seek out my Di Tian?"

Harosa's smile vanished, replaced by a scrutinizing calm. He looked at Di Tian and said slowly, "No rush. Before we discuss matters, I need to test whether you have the leverage to negotiate with me."

The moment the words were spoken, the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly! An invisible pressure descended like a mountain!

Di Tian's golden pupils suddenly contracted! He had lived for over 800,000 years and experienced countless trials and tribulations, so the meaning behind the other party's words was all too clear to him—strength reigns supreme!

This is the most direct and primal law, especially in the world of soul beasts. The other party clearly doubted his strength as the "Beast God," or perhaps simply wanted to confirm whether he was worthy enough to stand at the negotiating table.

Countless thoughts flashed through Di Tian's mind in an instant. The human before him, or rather, the being he was, gave him an extremely dangerous and unfathomable feeling. But as the apparent ruler of all soul beasts, his dignity could not be challenged! He had to demonstrate a power that would command the other's respect!

Or rather, to make this arrogant person pay the price.

"Arrogant!" Di Tian uttered only two words, his voice deep and rumbling like thunder. He didn't hesitate for a moment, nor did he show the slightest arrogance; he directly adopted the attitude befitting a powerful enemy!

boom!

The soul power of ultimate darkness erupted from Di Tian's body without reservation! Thick, ink-like black mist, seemingly capable of swallowing all light, instantly spread out, forming a vast dark domain!

This domain not only obscures vision but also exerts a powerful mental suppression and energy erosion effect! Di Tian's imposing figure loomed in and out of the black mist, like a demon god emerging from the abyss!

At the same time, the two completely opposite yet perfectly balanced energy cores within his body—the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Cores—were operating wildly!

This made the power he unleashed not only immense but also extremely stable, far surpassing that of ordinary peak quasi-god level experts!

Di Tian knew very well that probing was pointless against an opponent like Harosa! He had to unleash a strength that could shake his opponent right from the start!

He took a step forward, and his figure appeared before Harossa as if by teleportation! A gigantic fist covered in jet-black dragon scales and wreathed in destructive energy tore through the air, carrying a terrifying dragon's might, and slammed straight at Harossa's face! Wherever the fist's wind passed, even the space itself groaned under its strain!

Harosa stood still, his gaze remaining calm. Facing a punch powerful enough to shatter mountains, he merely raised his right hand, fingers spread, without using the Netherworld Chant. Instead, a deep, greyish-white light condensed in his palm—the power of the origin of rebirth!

Fist and palm strike!

BOOM—!!

A deafening, muffled roar erupted! A violent shockwave swept out in a ring, causing the towering metal walls below to twist, tear, and collapse in large sections, like paper toys! Smoke and dust billowed into the sky!

Harosa remained completely still! The grayish-white light in his palm acted as the most resilient barrier, steadily catching Di Tian's terrifying punch, which was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Limit Douluo! The shockwave didn't even cause his clothes to flutter much!

Di Tian's heart trembled violently! He felt as if his punch had struck an unchanging, ancient rock! The opponent's power level far exceeded his expectations! This was definitely not the power that a quasi-god could possess!
