Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Harosa waved his hand, his tone direct and almost cold: "Forget the pleasantries. I'm keeping you here for a reason. I've already said that if you can't remember anything of value after you wake up, I'll eat you to replenish my consciousness."

Faced with this blunt threat, Electrox's illusory face did not show anger, but rather a calm that seemed to understand the ways of the world.

So-called relationships are only solidified by mutual interests.

Sensing the primal aura emanating from Harosa, he asked, "Judging from your aura, it is of the same origin as mine, also tainted by the path of death?"

Harosa nodded in acknowledgment: "The cultivation system in this world is different from that in your homeland, but the path I have followed does indeed belong to the law of death."

"Hmm," Electrox pondered for a moment, his illusory fingers seemingly twirling an invisible beard, "I heard you mention earlier that you've seen other fragments of my divine consciousness, so you must know about my necromancy. Upon awakening this time, I've remembered some things... including a technique called 'Soul-Controlling Puppet Technique,' which might be of some help to you."

"Soul Control Puppet Technique?" Harosar's eyes flickered slightly. The name immediately overlapped with his previous, crudely crafted soul skill—which he called "Soul Seed Puppet"—that forcibly controlled others using undead knight bone seeds. This was precisely the direction he urgently needed to perfect!

"Explain in detail," Harosa said succinctly.

Electrox, without holding back, began to transmit the essence of necromancy, which originated from his world and had been honed over countless years, to Harossa through fluctuations of his divine sense.

It involves the analysis of the essence of the soul, the meticulous construction of spiritual imprints, the stable extraction and feedback of the life source energy, and how to allow the puppet to retain some spirituality to perform more complex tasks. Its sophistication and sustainability are far superior to Harosa's crude "soul seed puppet".

Harosa absorbed this knowledge with great eagerness. He was a genius in the art of death, and combining his understanding of the laws of the Douluo world with his control over the power of the underworld, he began to integrate the essence of the "Soul Control Puppet Technique" taught by Ilex into his own "Soul Seed Puppet," attempting to upgrade and perfect it.

Time flew by as I focused on my practice and deduction.

After an unknown amount of time, Harosa, who was immersed in his divine sense calculations, suddenly had his sixth spirit ring—the red spirit ring that represented his "Gate to the Underworld" spirit skill—flicker without warning, its light flashing erratically!

Harosa abruptly opened his eyes, his brow furrowed. "Hmm? A change in the spirit rings? No... I can clearly bypass the spirit rings and directly communicate with the Gate of the Underworld..." A sense of foreboding instantly crept into his heart. "Could there be a problem with the Skull World?!"

He immediately thought of the massive amount of dragon energy and dragon souls he had painstakingly collected from Dragon Valley and stored in that small world! That was his important "stockpile"!

There are also tons of skeletons!

"Not good!" Harosa's face darkened, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he found himself in a small skeleton world connected by the gates of the underworld, filled with endless white bones.

However, the sight before him made Harosa's eyes instantly turn icy cold!

At first glance, it was clear that something had gone wrong!

Harosa stood at the entrance to the Skull World, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic Bone Kingdom, his face instantly darkening.

All the dragon clouds he had painstakingly collected were gone! The dragon souls that should have been wandering around, containing pure dragon energy and the power of heaven and earth, had almost all disappeared. Only a few stronger and faster ones were still fleeing in panic, trying to escape the pursuit of the skeletons that had suddenly "come to life".

This once desolate world has now become a battlefield of carnage! Countless enormous skeletons are attacking and tearing at each other. They wield bony arms, use broken ribs as weapons, and even pounce on each other to bite.

Broken bones flew everywhere, and the entire space was filled with the ear-piercing noise of bones colliding and cracking.

The reason is obvious: the dragon energy and primordial energy contained in the massive amount of dragon clouds and ordinary dragon souls that Harosa had taken in were absorbed by the lifeless skeletons in this small world!

These skeletons from the underworld, nourished by dragon energy and primordial power, actually "awakened" and instinctively began to devour and attack each other, becoming extremely violent.

The instant Harossa observed, several exceptionally powerful skeletons detected him, the "outsider." One was a massive dragon-shaped skeleton, while the other two resembled some kind of giant horse. Their empty eye sockets locked onto Harossa, and they immediately charged towards him with a ferocious aura!

Their attack method was very primitive: they used the massive dragon energy and primal force absorbed from their bodies to form chaotic energy shockwaves that slammed into Harosa.

The energy was indeed enormous, but because the controller—the skeleton—had no skill and simply unleashed it instinctively, in Harossa's eyes, the attack was like a large clump of sand flying around haphazardly. Although there was a lot of it, it was loose, weak, and posed no threat whatsoever.

"Hmph!" Harosa snorted coldly, his figure flashing, the Underworld Chant not even unsheathed. He directly swung his fist covered by battle armor, or kicked out a shadow of leg containing the power of death.

With several muffled thuds, the dragon-shaped and horse-shaped giant skeletons that charged the fastest and had the strongest aura were instantly smashed to pieces! Their hard bones shattered and flew away as if hit by a giant hammer.

However, a strange thing happened. The shattered bones did not go dormant. Instead, under the influence of the pervasive dragon energy and primordial power, they trembled and reassembled, forming a skeleton again. Although the aura was weaker, it was still full of aggression.

Harosa frowned even more deeply: "Trouble."

He immediately understood the crux of the problem: it was the absorbed dragon energy and the primordial energy of heaven and earth that were causing the trouble! They combined with the death energy of the skeleton itself, forming a chaotic energy source that drove their activity.

If this energy source is not dispelled or separated, these skeletal structures will continue to reassemble like an unkillable cockroach.

He no longer wasted time dispersing them one by one. His powerful half-step Divine Origin Realm spiritual energy instantly spread out like an invisible giant net, precisely covering this chaotic area.

Harosa began to do two things.

Use force to suppress them, using mental power to forcibly restrain the actions of those berserk skeletons, rendering them immobile and reducing chaos.

With meticulous peeling, he simultaneously manipulated his mental power, like the most exquisite scalpel, to forcibly peel and extract the chaotic "dragon energy + heaven and earth elemental power" from the core of the skeleton's "death and nether energy"!

This was an extremely mentally taxing process, requiring immense control. Harosa was completely focused, gray spiritual energy surging around him.

Gradually, the chaotic light in the eye sockets of the suppressed skulls began to diminish, and their movements came to a complete halt. The dragon energy and elemental power permeating the air were carefully collected and condensed by Harosa into unstable energy spheres.

The chaotic fighting within the Skull World finally subsided, leaving only scattered bones and a few floating energy orbs mixed with dragon energy.

Just as the chaos subsided and Harosa was frowning at the contaminated energy spheres, Electrolux's aged yet slightly surprised voice rang out in his mind:

"Huh? These skeletons are peculiar. This energy... a combination of death and life? And... the primordial aura of the dragon race? Interesting, truly interesting!"
