Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Harosa raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What's your opinion?"

These skeletons were already here when I first entered the Skeleton World. Initially, the Skeleton World was filled with the power of death, and Harosa grew rapidly with the help of this power. Later, he discovered that these skeletons would slowly release the power of death.

However, he found no source of death within these skeletons.

So we could only wait for them to generate the power of death, but unexpectedly, a problem arose today.

Electrolux's phantom stroked its non-existent beard, its divine sense tinged with a hint of reminiscence: "In my own world during my lifetime, I did encounter similar skeletons. They seemed to possess a peculiar 'immortality' characteristic; as long as the core energy driving them didn't dissipate, even if they were shattered, they could slowly reassemble, continuously generating an aura of death."

"I once used necromancy to create a special undead creature from skeletons with these characteristics, which I called the 'Undead Spirit'."

"Immortal?" Harosa's eyes flickered slightly, but his tone remained calm. "It must not be true immortality; there must be limits or a core to it."

He was cautious about this claim, believing that power must have a source.

“Indeed, there is no such thing as absolute immortality in this world,” Electrox nodded in agreement. “But the key is that this ‘immortality’ characteristic gives them an extremely high potential ceiling. If their characteristics can be combined with a powerful undead core, the undead creatures created will have a much greater potential for growth and adaptability than ordinary undead.” He pointed out the core value—potential.

Harosa instantly understood Electrolux's implication.

The first thing that came to his mind was the twelve undead knights he had nurtured in his Netherworld Rebirth Realm!

Now only eleven remain. Although they are powerful, possessing the strength of a level 95 Super Douluo and equipped with three-word battle armor, their growth has long since stagnated.

On the one hand, Harosa himself is stuck at the demigod level; on the other hand, the more fundamental reason is that the undead materials that make up their bodies have an upper limit and their potential has been exhausted.

If we could use these skeletons, which possess the characteristic of "immortality" and have unknown potential, as materials to recreate the body of the undead knight... would we be able to break through this limit?

Harosa immediately shared her idea with Electrox and inquired about specific feasible solutions.

The difficulty lies in the fact that he has tried to replace the undead knights with better "parts" over the years, but after research, the only thing that can be reliably extracted and transplanted is their core—the "bone seed" that burns with eerie green flames.

Forcibly replacing the skeleton with another one will cause the undead knight to break down.

Electrox pondered for a moment, his divine sense fluctuating with some regret: "If my memories from my previous life were complete, there is indeed a high-level necromancy called 'Rebirth' that could perfectly solve the problem of the core and the body being compatible. But now... this method is not feasible."

He then changed the subject, "However, we can try another method. Although it is cumbersome, with your current mastery of the laws of death and the foundation of the 'Soul-Controlling Puppet Technique' I provided, it should be achievable. It's just that the process will be... rather troublesome."

"Speak," Harosa said succinctly.

Electrolux explained his plan in detail.

First, cast the necromancer spell "Wither" on the target undead knight. This spell does not destroy, but rather completely wipes and strips away all the soul power, death power, and even the non-core energy that constitutes the body, returning it to its most primitive, near-death, dormant state, maintained only by the core "Bone Seed." This is equivalent to completely formatting its "body."

Carefully extract the core "Bone Seed" from the Undead Knight while it is in the "Wither" state.

Then, a large number of "undead" skeletons were selected as materials. Using Harosa's powerful death force and mental energy, these skeletons were forcibly melted and shaped into a huge new skeleton that conformed to the knight's form and could accommodate the "Bone Seed".

Next, the "bone seed" was precisely transplanted to the core of this new skeleton.

The moment the "Bone Seed" was transplanted into the new body, Harosa immediately used his improved and upgraded "Soul Seed Puppet" self-created soul skill. With his powerful death spirit and demigod consciousness, he imprinted an absolute obedience and unwavering soul mark on the core "Bone Seed," establishing a stable master-servant connection.

This step is crucial, ensuring absolute control over the new body and guiding its initial awakening.

Finally, the "new knight," whose transplantation and control were initially completed, was placed in Harossa's "Netherworld Rebirth Domain." The pure power of death within the domain continuously permeated and washed over this new body, which incorporated "immortality," completely imprinting it with Harossa's power, completing the final assimilation and stabilization, and bringing it back to the level it had been in when the Netherworld Rebirth Domain opened.

Harosa listened carefully, his eyes gleaming. Although the plan involved many steps, each requiring extremely precise control, the logic was clear, and each step addressed a key issue: stripping away the old body, providing new materials, implanting the core, absolute control, and assimilation of the origin. It was indeed feasible.

"We can try," Harosa nodded. However, he sensed a subtle vibration emanating from the spatial barrier of the Skeleton World, reminding him that he couldn't stay here long. "Let's get out of here. This place has limited capacity."

Afterwards, Harosa left the unstable Skull World and returned to his hiding place on Douluo Continent. He immediately began to implement this massive transformation project.

The transformation process was long and arduous. Each time the "Withering" spell was cast to strip away the old knight's power, it was accompanied by the undead knight's silent soul howl and the ear-piercing friction of disintegrating bones. Smelting the "undead" skeleton into a massive new skeleton required a massive amount of death power for precise manipulation.

The slightest mistake during the transplantation of the "Bone Seed" could trigger an energy conflict, leading to core damage. Imprinting the "Soul Seed Puppet" mark is an even more severe test of Harosa's mental strength.

However, Harosa, with his quasi-god-level strength, powerful willpower, and profound understanding of the laws of death, overcame numerous difficulties.

In pursuit of greater power, Harossa used as many "undead" skeletons as possible to shape each new body within the limits of his control, which made the newly born undead knights incredibly huge.

Finally, twelve reborn undead knights stood before Harossa! They were no longer in a single knight form.

Harosa gave them a more complete combat system: twelve undead spirit knights, each equipped with a huge skeletal warhorse also forged from "undead" skeletons!

The knights, along with their mounts, were generally nearly a hundred meters tall, resembling mobile fortresses of bones. They were surrounded by a denser and more condensed gray-black death aura than ever before, and the eerie green flames burning in their eye sockets had taken on a dark gold hue, radiating a suffocating and terrifying pressure.

After testing, each Undead Spirit Knight, combined with its mount, has steadily reached the level of a Level 99 Limit Douluo, and perfectly embodies the three-word battle armor provided by Harosa! This twelve-in-one entity, with the blessing of the Underworld Rebirth Domain, will unleash unimaginable destructive power.

During the transformation process, Harosa himself also benefited greatly. The constant consumption and replenishment of power, the precise manipulation of the source of death to forge "undead" materials, and the in-depth practice of necromancy such as "Soul Puppet" and "Withering" all greatly stimulated his understanding of the laws of death.

The massive flow and feedback of energy finally broke through that invisible barrier.

Harosa's true form has officially advanced from the demigod realm to the quasi-god realm! This is more than ninety years earlier than the time he originally reached this realm in the Douluo Continent storyline!
