Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 176 The Angel's Lingering Power, the Demon Emperor's Defeat

The Demon Emperor's killings are always decisive and ruthless.

In her eyes, Yun Ming, who was currently restrained by both the Golden Ancient Tree and external energy, was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter, a top-tier "material" that was about to be thrown into the furnace to enhance the quality of the blood sacrifice.

Her figure flickered, and like a ghost, she passed through the golden light barrier that the ancient golden tree was struggling to maintain, instantly appearing in front of Yun Ming.

That fair, jade-like hand, which had easily shattered the Panlong Staff and severely injured Qian Gu Die Ting, now had its five fingers slightly bent, with a destructive purplish-black light swirling around its fingertips, piercing straight into Yun Ming's heart!

Its speed and angle were so sharp that there was no way to dodge it!

Yun Ming's pupils suddenly contracted! The shadow of death instantly washed over his entire body like ice water!

He wanted to resist, but most of his power was spent maintaining the light shield against the residual explosive force and blood sacrifice erosion. He simply couldn't spare enough power to deal with a deadly sneak attack from a true god!

Even at his peak, his chances of winning against a true god-level powerhouse were pitifully slim!

"Is this the end?!" A tremendous sense of resentment and despair surged into Yun Ming's heart. Shrek Academy's millennia-old foundation had been destroyed in an instant, and was he really going to perish here in such a humiliating way? He could even clearly feel the chilling killing intent emanating from the Demon Emperor's fingertips!

However, at this critical moment, "Ugh—"

A soft whimper, tinged with fear and confusion, rose from beside Yun Ming's feet.

It was Tang Wulin! This little boy, who was only two years old and had always been firmly protected by Yun Ming in the safe zone behind him, seemed to sense the approaching, suffocating, terrifying killing intent, and a look of fear appeared on his little face.

He instinctively grabbed Yun Ming's trouser leg and tilted his head back.

The instant he tilted his head back, *whoosh!*

A golden light, indescribable in its purity, suddenly burst forth from the mark between his eyebrows that was usually hidden!

That light was not any known form of light-based soul power on the Douluo Continent; it was far more sacred and vast.

A more orderly and awe-inspiring sight!

It seems to contain the most fundamental laws of justice and the power of purification in the universe!

The moment the light appeared, the thick stench of blood, the evil aura of death, and even the divine pressure emanating from the Demon Emperor were all forcibly dispelled and purified as if they had encountered their nemesis!

"What?!" The Demon Emperor's hand, which was rushing forward, suddenly stopped, and for the first time, an incredulous look of horror appeared in her eerie purple eyes!

From this sudden golden light, she sensed something originating from the level of life and the essence of energy—

Absolutely invincible! Even—fear!

The golden light quickly receded and condensed! In front of Tang Wulin's brow, it transformed into a three-foot-long golden sword phantom, its entire body flowing with holy radiance!

This sword has an ancient and majestic design. Its blade seems to be formed from the purest light and laws, and it is engraved with countless mysterious divine runes that do not belong to this world.

The moment it appeared, the entire space seemed to freeze, and a sense of supreme judgment and ruling permeated the air!

"Punishment—for falsehood!"

A cold, majestic voice, seemingly devoid of any emotion yet containing the supreme will of justice, did not come from Tang Wulin's mouth, but rather from the Dao sound generated by the golden holy sword vibrating through the void!

The next moment, the golden holy sword moved!

It was not controlled by anyone, but transformed itself into an eternal light that tore through the darkness, and gently slashed at the Demon Emperor who was right next to it!

There was no grand scale, no explosive energy.

Only a thin, golden line, seemingly capable of slicing through cause and effect and reality, flashed by in an instant!

"No-!!!"

The Demon Queen let out the most piercing and terrified scream of her life! She sensed a deadly threat!

She desperately tried to retreat, trying to mobilize all her divine power to defend herself, but the thin golden line seemed to have locked onto her very essence, moving faster than time and thought!

puff!

A soft sound.

The Demon Queen's slender and alluring body froze in mid-air! She looked down in disbelief at her own chest.

A slender golden ray of light stretched from her left shoulder to her right abdomen! No blood flowed from the wound; instead, a dense purplish-black demonic aura continuously emanated from it, as if her very existence was being fundamentally "deleted" and "purified" by this golden power!

"Ugh!" The Demon Emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of purplish-black blood containing divine essence, and his aura rapidly declined like an avalanche! His stunningly beautiful and bewitching face instantly turned ashen white, filled with pain and fear!

With just one sword strike, she suffered an unprecedented and devastating injury! Even her divine essence trembled! If she hadn't been a god at her core, this sword strike would have been enough to annihilate her body and soul!

As the Demon Emperor was injured, the core of the blood sacrifice array she maintained instantly became unbalanced!

Snap! Snap!

The enormous crimson light curtain that enveloped the heavens and the earth, like shattered glass, let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, its surface instantly covered with countless cracks! The massive amount of pure dark red death energy flowing within it began to violently surge and dissipate!

"Demon Emperor!" Ye Lan's expression changed drastically in the distance. She never expected such a shocking reversal!

Seeing that the Demon Emperor was about to be completely annihilated by the lingering aura of the golden holy sword, she could no longer care about anything else and threw the skull figurine left by Harossa with all her might towards the Demon Emperor!

"May the Lord of the Underworld protect you!"

The moment the skull figurine flew out, its eye sockets suddenly burst forth with a dense glow of jet black and crescent white light! The power of reincarnation activated on its own, forming a gray-white vortex shield that narrowly blocked the heavily injured Demon Emperor!

hum!

The remaining sword energy of the golden holy sword collided fiercely with the gray-white vortex, emitting a strange sound of annihilation! The vortex trembled violently, clearly at a disadvantage, and the light flowing on it dimmed at a visible speed, with even fine cracks appearing on its surface!

But it was ultimately made by Harosa himself, containing a trace of his original divine power, and successfully blocked the aftershocks of this fatal blow for the Demon Emperor!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Lan flashed to the Demon Emperor's side like a ghost, grabbed her limp body, and dared not look again at the golden holy sword that was still radiating divine power floating in the air and the seemingly harmless little boy below it. He tore through space and fled for his life without looking back!

It was so fast that it even left behind afterimages!

Only a cold, sacred, and majestic shout, seemingly traversing endless time and space, remained in the air, echoing above the shattered Shrek City, clearly imprinted in the depths of the souls of every survivor (mainly Yun Ming, though there were only two): "Punishing evil spirits is the duty of angels!"

After forcing back the Demon Emperor and shattering the Blood Sacrifice Array, the golden holy sword seemed to have consumed a great deal of energy, and its blade became illusory. It turned slightly, as if "looking" at Yun Ming below, who was dumbfounded and seemed to be dreaming, and at the feet of Tang Wulin, who was dizzy and swaying due to exhaustion. Then it turned into specks of golden light rain, disappeared back into Tang Wulin's brow, and vanished.

The suffocating divine pressure and evil blood energy in the world suddenly vanished.

All that remained were the shattered city, billowing dust, countless tragic corpses, and the dim, teetering golden tree.

Yun Ming stood there blankly, as if he had lost all his strength. He stared at the scene before him, which had reversed like a miracle and then quickly returned to deathly silence. His mind was completely blank.

What just happened?

Rewind to the second before Yun Ming's impending death. In Tang Wulin's spiritual sea, a phantom appeared on a trident, speaking to the Angelic Holy Sword.
