Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 71 Divine Herb, Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red

On his second attempt, Harosa's eyes flickered slightly. The image of Yali, a woman as pure as light yet bursting with astonishing resilience in dire straits, surfaced in his mind. He truly admired her, even "liked" her—liked her purity, her persistence, and the beauty that burned brightly in despair.

This liking is a simple liking for what's beautiful in me, not pure love. In other words: Is that liking? You're just lusting after her body, ugh, despicable!

But was this affection pure enough to shake the very essence of the immortal herb? He knew the answer in his heart.

A drop of blood condensed at his fingertip again, and he shot it out with a trace of the "impulse" in his mind.

The blood droplet touched the petal again. This time, the petal seemed to tremble slightly, but the edge of that tragically vivid crimson only brightened slightly, almost imperceptibly, before fading away again. The blood droplet still slid down, leaving no mark.

Harosa chuckled inwardly: "As expected—it's nothing more than lust at first sight, a despicable thought." He had a clear-headed, almost cold, self-awareness.

Two failures, the outcome was without suspense. The Acacia Heartbreak Red stood quietly on the black stone, its aloofness and perseverance seemingly declaring in silence: only the purest and truest heart can gain my approval.

"That's enough." Harosa withdrew his hand, the slight fluctuation in his eyes completely subsided, returning to a state of utter stillness. "The immortal herb possesses a spirit..."

Better to be a shattered jade than a whole tile. What cannot be forced is also a matter of fate.

He surveyed the magnificent scene around him, composed of countless top-tier natural treasures. The purple-gold halo of the Qiluo Tulip, the scorching patterns of the Liehuo Apricot, and the translucent chill of the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass—these immortal herbs certainly contained immense energy and their medicinal effects were nothing short of miraculous. However, for him, who had already reached the divine level and possessed the origin of rebirth, their direct enhancement had become limited.

They are more like functional "plugins," which may have miraculous effects in specific situations (such as detoxification, body tempering, and healing), but their cost-effectiveness is far less than directly absorbing pure energy or comprehending the laws.

As for those non-celestial treasures, they might cause bloodshed in the outside world, but in Harosa's eyes, their value is greatly reduced.

While the environment of the Yin-Yang Wells of Ice and Fire provides a fertile ground for their growth, their essence remains the condensed essence of heaven and earth's primordial energy accumulated over thousands of years. Furthermore, the Rebirth God Realm, as a newly formed god realm, possesses a concentration and quality of heaven and earth's primordial energy far surpassing that of the Douluo Continent! As long as the problem of death energy erosion is resolved, this is an even better place to cultivate them!

"Now that we've brought them back, we can't just let them wither away," Harosa decided. These resources, whether they are immortal herbs or others...

Rather than letting this gem languish in his hands, it's better to use it to nurture subordinates. The Soul Master team on Deng Fengqiao's side, the potential growth of the Yuan family in the future, and even other talents they might recruit, all require resources. The properties of the immortal herb might play an unexpected role at crucial moments.

With his mind made up, Harosa no longer hesitated. He raised his hand and lightly slashed at the void in front of him!

Metaphor!

A vast and boundless power of the primordial energy of rebirth erupted! This time, it was no longer filled with the corrosive aura of death, but rather carried a will of "opening up" and "protecting"! The grayish-white primordial energy, like an invisible giant plow, forcefully pushed aside and dispelled the pervasive death energy on the side of the bottom of the giant pit away from the Yin-Yang body and the Dragon King's spirit!

A pure "vacuum bubble" with a diameter of about 100 zhang was forcibly created! Within this space, the dense, almost liquefied primordial energy of heaven and earth (derived from the dissipation and transformation of the divine realm's origin) surged in wildly, yet there was not a trace of death energy present!

The air was filled with pure life force and pure primordial energy, giving the air a faint, vibrant glow.

Immediately afterward, Harosa formed hand seals, his movements profound and mysterious. Under his precise control, the power of the primordial rebirth flowed like that of the most skillful craftsman.

Let's begin to shape this pure land.

The vitrified bottom of the pit was softened and reshaped, turning into fertile spiritual soil that shimmered with the luster of jade; an invisible barrier formed at the edge of the "vacuum bubble," like a huge, transparent energy dome, completely isolating the deathly aura from the outside world.

Inside the dome, the space is cleverly divided to simulate the environmental characteristics of different areas of the Yin-Yang symbol—some areas are filled with cold nitrogen and hydrogen.

Fine ice crystals condensed on the ground; in some areas, the heat was intense and the soil turned reddish-brown; in other areas, the humidity and mildness were suitable for the growth of neutral spiritual plants.

Having done all this, Harosa waved his hand dismissively!

The radiant immortal herbs and rare treasures suspended in mid-air seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, like birds returning to their nests, transforming into streaks of light and falling precisely into that newly opened pure land!

The Qiluo Tulip took root in the core where spiritual energy was most abundant, its purple-gold halo spreading out; the Fiery Apricot Delicate Sparse Grass fell into the crimson soil, its flame patterns dancing joyfully; the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass sank into the icy region, its translucent leaves unfurling; the Dew-laden Leaves swayed gently in the moist region, shimmering like teardrops—countless rare and exotic herbs returned to their places, their roots quickly sinking into the fertile spiritual soil, greedily absorbing the incomparably pure spiritual energy of the divine realm!

The solitary Acacia Heartbreak Red was placed on a small patch of dark spiritual soil in the very center of the Pure Land, where the spiritual energy was purest and the environment was most gentle (Harosa even brought back the black stone where it was rooted).

It continues to grow quietly, its pink and white petals edged with a poignant crimson. Nourished by the divine energy, its restrained life rhythm seems even deeper and more profound, as if silently proclaiming its own unwavering persistence.

In the blink of an eye, a vibrant and radiant "Immortal Herb Garden" miraculously emerged on the edge of the desolate giant pit in the realm of the dead! Pure life force and refined elemental energy flowed within it, forming a stark and awe-inspiring contrast with the gray and desolate death kingdom outside.

Like a dazzling gem embedded in the underworld, it is both a treasure trove of resources and a first concrete manifestation of Harosa's ambition to transform the divine realm and encompass the cycle of life and death.

This is also a good thing for Harosa's transformation of the realm of the dead.

Harosa stood outside the dome of the Immortal Herb Garden, gazing calmly at the thriving scene within through the transparent energy barrier. The immortal herbs were useless to him, but as resource reserves and potential future pawns, their positions had already been carefully arranged.

This small, vibrant place would become a unique footnote in his grand plan. He lingered no longer, his figure transforming into a streak of gray light, disappearing into this strange landscape of interwoven light and darkness.
