Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 140 Breaking the Rules, Mastering Development (5.4K, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Some were as black as ink, incredibly heavy, and made a dull thud when they landed; some were as red as fire, radiating scorching heat that distorted the air; some gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, their surfaces covered with ice crystals; and others were covered with strange patterns, pulsating slightly like living things. These metals exuded the coldness and primal aura of the deep universe. They were violently "dug" out by Harosa directly from the fragments of stars drifting around the Realm of Rebirth. He didn't recognize them at all, but he felt that the energy and properties they contained were extraordinary.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Harosa's voice rang out, carrying an undeniable command: "These are 'stones' I just retrieved from outside. I don't recognize them, but they seem usable. Take what you need."

Deng Fengqiao and Yuan Feng stared wide-eyed at the "mountain of metal" radiating unfamiliar energy. This was far too crude and direct! But then, their eyes blazed with wild joy. For researchers and blacksmiths, unknown materials, especially those from deep space possessing unique properties, were invaluable! This pile of "junk" was the key to breaking through their current predicament!

"Yuan Feng," Haros's gaze shifted to the burly blacksmith, "You're familiar with the Underworld Chant. You helped it when it was upgraded to a divine artifact; you know its 'inherent nature.' This time, it's in your hands." His gaze then turned to Deng Fengqiao, "Deng Fengqiao, use your soul tool to suppress that restless 'wildness' within the Golden Dragon Spear. Regulate it. Don't be afraid of it; it's not activated yet, I've already suppressed it. As long as you don't court death, you're safe. You two think this over first; I'll go find you some helpers."

"Yes, sir!" the two replied in unison, their voices filled with unprecedented enthusiasm and confidence. With these rare cosmic metals, their thinking had instantly broadened countless times!

Let's start with a simple melting and casting process; we're fighting a battle of attrition.

Harosa vanished once more. This time, he went straight to the meditation tower atop the gray mountains. The tower remained ancient, emanating a divine power that intertwined death and light in a greyish-white hue.

"Old Yi, come out! Something's wrong!" Harosa's voice pierced through the tower's defensive barrier and echoed within the tower.

Deep inside the tower, Electrox, who was immersed in the deduction of magical runes, frowned slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and showed a hint of helplessness at being disturbed.

"This guy really has no sense of boundaries." He muttered to himself. After five years of seclusion, with the help of the pure source of rebirth provided by Harosa and his own understanding of the laws of reincarnation, his injuries had long been healed and his strength had reached a new level. The meaning of reincarnation in his originally gray divine power had become more and more obvious.

The tower gate opened silently, and Elex appeared in the doorway, his grey-white mage robe spotless, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "Fellow Daoist, what troubles me now?" His tone carried a hint of teasing between old friends.

Harosa cut to the chase: "I remember, on the Holy Demon Continent, besides necromancy and light magic, you were also quite skilled at crafting equipment? In your parlance, it's called 'weapon crafting,' right?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of pride from his past glory flashed in Electrox's eyes. He stroked his silver-white beard and smiled slightly: "That's for sure. The divine artifacts and magical weapons that I personally crafted and repaired back then were renowned throughout the Holy Demon Continent, enough to make the holy artifacts of the Holy Church and the demonic weapons of the dark forces pale in comparison."

"Good that you haven't forgotten! Come with me!" Without saying a word, Harosa stepped forward and grabbed Ilex's wrist. Powerful divine power surged, tearing through space and instantly returning him to the temple.

Inside the temple, Deng Fengqiao and Yuan Feng, who were having a heated discussion around the small mountain of "cosmic gold" and the two divine artifacts, suddenly saw Harosa appear with the "old mage" they respected and were close to.

"Greetings, Lord Hades! Greetings, Elder Ilex!" The two bowed respectfully. Their obedience to Harosa was one of reverence, while their respect and affection for Ilex were heartfelt.

This old man was not only incredibly powerful, but also remarkably approachable. He offered them much guidance in cultivation and knowledge, much like a kind and learned teacher.

"Alright, enough of these formalities." Harosa waved his hand, pointing to the mountain of metal and the divine artifact in the arena. "I've found the man for you. Old Yi says he's an expert in weapon crafting. You two should exchange ideas and figure out how to upgrade those two pieces." He paused, looked at Elex, and added, "By the way, Old Yi, if you see any materials you like and want to tinker with something yourself, feel free to take them. If you need anything special, just let me know."

Electrolux's gaze had already been drawn to the pile of rare metal exuding a cosmic aura and the two powerful artifacts. Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said without any politeness, "Very good. I also have some ideas that I need to verify with some materials."

He walked with great interest to the metal mountain, his withered fingers brushing over a piece of cold, dark blue metal, feeling the icy laws contained within it. He then tapped a piece of dark gold ore covered with natural runes, which produced a strange resonance.

"With Elder Yi's help, this matter is very promising!" Deng Fengqiao's spirits lifted. The otherworldly weapon-forging technique that Electrolux had mastered was definitely a huge inspiration for his breakthrough in soul guidance technology.

"Haha, that's great! Old Yi, come and see this gun! Its power is incredibly potent!" Yuan Feng rubbed his hands excitedly and pulled Ilex towards the Golden Dragon Spear.

The temple, the building that symbolized the highest power in the realm of the dead, underwent a complete transformation in the following years. The solemn and sacred atmosphere was replaced by a frenzy of intense, noisy, and meticulous research and forging.

The roar of the furnace never ceased, day or night. Yuan Feng, shirtless, fought on, his bronze muscles gleaming under the intense heat. The massive forging hammer in his hands seemed to come alive, each strike carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, precisely striking the cosmic gold that had been bound by Electrolux's magical field and precisely preheated by Deng Fengqiao's soul-guided energy.

Blinding sparks flew like a waterfall, and the metal groaned in pain and emitted strange chirps under the heavy blows. Electrolux stood to the side, gray-white magical runes flowing from his fingertips, sometimes striking them into the furnace to control the heat, sometimes imprinting them into the metal to change its internal structure. He occasionally pointed out the angle and timing of Yuan Feng's force, integrating the unique "enchanted forging" technique of the Holy Demon Continent into the Douluo's forging system.

Deng Fengqiao operated a complex soul-guided instrument, monitoring the flow of energy and the changes in the imprint of laws within the metal during each forging. Data streams refreshed like a waterfall on the screen, allowing him to continuously adjust the intensity and frequency of the soul-guided energy injection, assisting Yuan Feng in completing the "divine forging" process that transcended limits. Working together, the three of them forcibly hammered those unruly cosmic metals into raw materials that conformed to their vision.

The deep hum of the soul-guided energy core formed the background sound. Deng Fengqiao's exclusive work area was filled with flashing soul-guided screens, precise energy etching tables, and floating miniature magic array models.

He attempted to design an unprecedented "Dragon Soul Restraint and Transformation System" for the Golden Dragon Spear. Electrolux became his most important advisor, and the alchemy, soul restraint arrays, and energy conversion runes of the Holy Demon Continent clashed and merged fiercely with the level ten soul guidance technology mastered by Deng Fengqiao.

The two often argued heatedly about optimizing an energy circuit or embedding a rune, while Yuan Feng, with his strong arms around Yuan Feng's, offered seemingly rough but often insightful suggestions from a blacksmith's perspective. Countless discarded soul guide cores and damaged energy guide plates piled up in the corner, bearing witness to the arduousness of this path.

In another corner of the temple, Electrox also opened his own "weapon-making workshop". He selected several special metals containing spatial fluctuations and stellar gravity, combined them with his own pure death and reincarnation divine power, and supplemented them with law fragments extracted from the origin of the God Realm of Rebirth, and began to try to forge a magical artifact that he had long conceived.

His method of crafting weapons was closer to a magical ritual. He would draw runes in the void, use his mental power to manipulate the elements, and suspend the materials in a magic circle to melt, shape, and imprint them with laws. The process was full of mystery and rhythm, which contrasted sharply with Yuan Feng's violent aesthetics and Deng Fengqiao's precise technology.

Harosa's figure occasionally appeared at the edge of the temple. He did not interfere much, but silently sensed the surging energy, the collision of laws, and the spiritual will of the three people within the temple.

More often than not, he sat cross-legged on the altar in the central part of the divine realm, transforming the vast source of rebirth into a more profound and mysterious source of reincarnation that better suited his own path.

The divine power of ink black and moon white flowed around him, like a miniature wheel of life and death, his aura becoming increasingly restrained yet grand.

At the same time, his divine sense, like invisible tentacles, extended beyond the barrier of the divine realm. In the vast and dangerous universe, he carefully adjusted the course of his journey to the divine realm, avoiding the massive gravitational vortices and turbulent spatial currents he sensed, ensuring that this fragile home would not capsize during the voyage.

Five years slipped by quietly amidst the roar of the furnace, the echoes of the soul guide core, the flashes of magical runes, and the flow of divine power.

Over the past five years, the most crucial and challenging battlefield has undoubtedly been the raging source of the Golden Dragon King, sealed by the powder of the Undying Skeleton.

This dark golden energy, like an ancient ferocious beast imprisoned, continued to rampage wildly within its seal, emanating an aura of destruction that sent shivers down one's spine.

It's really hard to imagine how the Golden Dragon King's essence, contained within the young Tang Wulin, was sealed away.

(P.S.: There's actually a bug here. When the Golden Dragon King's essence was sealed inside Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon King's strength wasn't at the peak of the God King realm. This is because Tang San had just started writing Legend of the Gods at that time, and the Golden Dragon King's peak God King strength was at the level of Douluo Continent IV. So this is a problem with the original setting. As mentioned before, the strength of beings like the Dragon King was set according to the level of Douluo Continent IV. Therefore, there's the question of how Tang San could seal the Golden Dragon King's essence at the peak of the God King realm inside the newborn Tang Wulin while keeping Tang Wulin safe. But don't worry about it, just consider it a setting.)

Unlike the Destruction God King's rules of destruction, which represent the ultimate destiny of the universe and carry a certain sense of order, the Golden Dragon King's origin contains a more primitive, violent, and chaotic rule of "annihilation," filled with pure destructive desire and destructive instinct, as if it wants to drag everything it touches into a chaotic abyss of disorder.

It is the extreme manifestation of the negative power when the Dragon God splits, and its violence is enough to distort the mind. Even the Golden Dragon King himself, whose "brainless" stereotype is largely due to being eroded and influenced by this destructive source.

Deng Fengqiao, Yuan Feng, and even Electrolux all cautiously attempted to contact and analyze this source, each time as if walking on the edge of a cliff. A slight misstep could result in a backlash from that violent intent, causing mental damage at best, and potentially being corrupted by the rules of destruction at worst.

The prototype of the soul-guided restraint array designed by Deng Fengqiao was torn to pieces by the violent force the moment it came into contact with the source.

Yuan Feng attempted to use the Divine Forging Technique to guide it into the metal blank, but the blank exploded directly into the most basic particle stream; Elex's magical seal could only last a few more moments.

Ultimately, the key to solving the problem lay with Harosa.

A temporary isolation zone was set up in the center of the temple. A huge sealed sphere, made of multiple layers of undead skull powder mixed with a special cosmic alloy, floated in mid-air.

Inside the sphere, the dark golden source of destruction surged like boiling magma, violently impacting the inner walls and causing the entire sphere to tremble violently, its surface constantly glowing with the light of runes that had been struck.

Harosa stood before the sphere, his gaze solemn. He extended his palm, and the power of reincarnation, a blend of jet black and moon white, flowed like warm yet resilient water, slowly enveloping the entire sealed sphere.

"Suppress it!" Electrox said in a deep voice, while forming hand seals and injecting powerful soul magic runes into the sphere to reinforce the seal.

"The energy pathway is ready!" Deng Fengqiao's voice came from the soul guidance control console next to him, where complex energy conduits were connected to specific nodes on the sphere.

"The hammer is ready!" Yuan Feng gripped a huge forging hammer made of a special energy-absorbing metal, his eyes fierce, as if he were facing a living beast.

Harosa took a deep breath, and the divine light of samsara in his eyes surged!

"town!"

With a low shout, the immense power of reincarnation surged into the sealed sphere! The jet-black and moon-white divine light slowly began to rotate like a millstone, and the powerful will of reincarnation forcefully cut into the violent source of destruction!

Sizzle!

Like a scalding iron plunged into ice water, a violent energy conflict erupted within the sphere! Dark golden destructive power retaliated fiercely, attempting to tear apart the invading divine power of reincarnation. The entire sphere groaned under the strain, its light flickering erratically.

Harosa's face was ashen, veins bulging on his forehead. He was using his divine power and the laws of reincarnation to forcefully suppress...

Eradicate the chaotic and violent will within the source of destruction! This process is extremely dangerous, like taming a raging ancient dragon. If one is not careful, the backlash from the rules of destruction will erode his soul through the divine power connection!

Time passed slowly. The dark golden light within the sphere, worn down by the alternation of inky black and moon white, began to lose its purity, and the violent impact seemed to weaken slightly. Harosa's power of reincarnation, like the most resilient whetstone, gradually wore away the sharpest and most uncontrollable edges of the rules of destruction.

This is dangerous.

"Now! Open the passage!" Electrox seized the fleeting moment of balance, shouted sharply, and a magic rune precisely landed on a certain spot on the sphere.

Deng Fengqiao pressed the control button simultaneously. A thin energy channel, constructed from soul-guided energy and magical runes, instantly opened on the sealed sphere!

boom!

A stream of dark gold energy, which had been initially suppressed and weakened by the power of the Reincarnation God but was still pure and powerful, surged out of the passage like a wild horse that had been partially tamed!

"Yuan Feng!" Deng Fengqiao roared.

"Get in there, you bastard!" Yuan Feng was already poised to strike, his eyes bloodshot and his muscles bulging. He grabbed the massive energy-absorbing forging hammer and, with an aura of earth-shattering creation, slammed it down on the huge golden dragon spear blank that had been prepared below. It was forged from countless rare cosmic metals and divine materials and inscribed with complex soul-guiding arrays and magical runes!

Clang!

The deafening roar seemed to rip the temple's dome off! The dark golden energy of destruction was forcefully and violently blasted into the core of the Golden Dragon Spear's embryo by this earth-shattering hammer blow!

The spearhead instantly erupted with a dark golden light that pierced the sky, the entire spear body trembled violently, and emitted a deafening dragon roar! The dragon patterns on the spear body seemed to come alive, roaring ferociously, and a terrifying destructive pressure swept out, but this time, this pressure had less of the disorderly madness and more of a sense of "order" that was forcibly restrained and guided.

Harosa immediately severed the energy channel, withdrew his Samsara Divine Power, his face slightly pale, but his eyes sharp as knives. He looked at the golden dragon spear at the center of the energy storm, its dark golden light gradually receding, but its aura becoming more dangerous and domineering, and let out a long sigh of relief.

It became.

Although it was only a preliminary refinement, suppressing and obliterating the most uncontrollable violent will, forcibly injecting the pure destructive primal energy into the gun body, and initially fusing with the soul-guiding/magical restraint array designed by Deng Fengqiao and the gun body forged by Yuan Feng, there was still a long way to go before complete control. But this most dangerous and uncontrollable step had finally been taken.

From this moment on, Harosa can truly and safely hold the Golden Dragon Spear without worrying about the potential backlash.

The destructive power contained within the gun remains incredibly violent, but it has been bound by "reins" crafted from the combined power of reincarnation, soul guidance technology, otherworldly weapon-forging techniques, and divine-level crafting.

He reached out and made a grasping motion towards the suspended spear that radiated a dark golden light.

Metaphor!

The Golden Dragon Spear emitted a deep, seemingly submissive dragon roar, then transformed into a streak of dark golden light and landed steadily in Harosa's hand.

It felt heavy in my hand, the gun was cold, and the domineering power that could destroy everything pulsed in my palm, but it no longer tried to turn against its master. Instead, there was a faint sense of connection with it, like blood ties.

Harosa flicked his wrist, the tip of the spear slicing through the air, leaving a dark gold crack that lingered for a long time. Feeling the power emanating from the spear, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his lips.

"Good gun."

Having made so much effort, Harosa was only on par with those who possessed the bloodline. Harosa didn't find it troublesome. With the Golden Dragon King's essence, Harosa also had the means to change his own bloodline to the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. But wouldn't that be demeaning himself?

Why would a god of the human race use the bloodline of the beast race? Does he really think he's part of Tang San's family?

Furthermore, by using the methods of soul guidance and weapon refining, the Golden Dragon Spear and the Golden Dragon King's essence were refined together. This would allow the use of the Golden Dragon Spear to increase its upper limit. The Golden Dragon Spear was born from the Golden Dragon King's rib and had long been a divine weapon. Losing the nourishment of the Golden Dragon King's essence was a great loss, and now this problem has been solved.

If we add some chaotic power later, could it evolve into a super artifact?

As you can see, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances could evolve from an external soul bone into the super artifact, the Eight Wings of the Sea God. This shows that nurturing an artifact is very important, and it can be further improved when encountering special opportunities.

After experiencing the God War ten years ago, Tanluosa is even more eager to obtain a super artifact. The power of a super artifact is beyond doubt. Perhaps he can use the super artifact to directly bring the God Realm of Rebirth to the Douluo Plane and break the plane suppression.
