Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 178 Goddess of Life, Yali

The devastating energy of the explosion was completely dissipated by the awe-inspiring divine power of that earth-shattering sword strike. The crimson light curtain that had enveloped the heavens and earth shattered, as if a dream had just ended, leaving only devastation in its wake.

The sky returned to its original color, only now it was a hazy gray, as if it too was affected by the tragedy below.

Sunlight struggled to penetrate the dust, falling upon the ruins of Shrek City, illuminating the broken walls, the scorched earth, and the bodies that would forever remain silent.

Yun Ming stood there, stunned, overwhelmed by the dazed feeling of surviving a near-death experience. His internal energy was depleted from overexertion, and his body trembled slightly, but he was oblivious to it. His mind was completely occupied by those eight words that resonated throughout heaven and earth, etched into his soul—

"To punish evil spirits is the duty of angels!"

This sacred and majestic declaration was so familiar—didn't his Yali and his Holy Spirit Douluo also share the same belief, regarding purifying evil souls and protecting life as their lifelong duty?

In a daze, amidst the gradually dissipating golden rain of light, he seemed to truly see Yali's gentle yet resolute face. She was smiling at him, her smile as always, full of love and strength.

The illusion was so real that he instinctively reached out his hand.

"Yari————"

All my fingertips touched was the cold air and falling dust.

The illusion vanished, and he came to his senses, finding himself gazing intently at the ancient golden tree in front of him, its light dimmed, its branches and leaves withered, yet it still stood stubbornly upright.

Endless longing and sorrow overwhelmed him like a tidal wave. He slowly lowered his head, his voice hoarse and ethereal, murmuring as if in a dream: "Are you—still in the Douluo Continent? If you are still alive—where would you be?"

Where are you?

Just then, he felt a slight force gently tugging at his trouser leg.

Yun Ming looked down and saw that Tang Wulin was looking up with his big, dark eyes filled with tears. His little mouth was pouting, and he looked pitiful, wanting to cry but holding back. He was nervously clutching the hem of his clothes with his little hands.

Seeing the child's frightened yet dependent expression, Yun Ming felt a pang of pain in his heart. He forcibly suppressed his surging emotions, quickly bent down, and hugged the little one into his arms, soothing him in the gentlest voice he could muster: "Little Wu Lin, don't cry, don't be afraid, it's alright, it's alright—this time, it's all thanks to our little Wu Lin, you're amazing—you protected Daddy Yun Ming—"

He gently patted the child's back, his voice involuntarily choked with emotion. Amidst these ruins, perhaps only the bewildered child in his arms was his sole solace at this moment.

Within the Starry Sky Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life, in the Golden Space of Living Beings.

Unlike the hellish landscape outside, this place is still filled with extremely rich life energy.

Yali floated quietly in the center of the secret realm, her eyes closed, exuding a mysterious aura.

She seemed to resonate deeply with the entire space, with the vast golden ocean of life below, and even with the remaining life essence of the Douluo plane in the darkness, entering an extremely advanced state of "unity of heaven and man".

Just as she was experiencing the deepest enlightenment and her aura was most intertwined with the laws of life in the outside world, the skull figurine that had been dormant in her sleeve suddenly began to flash again with a cyclical light that was a mixture of jet black and crescent white!

hum!

With a flash of light, a deep, ancient gate to the underworld, exuding the unique aura of the realm of the dead, silently opened before Yali! The suction force emanating from within the gate precisely enveloped her, leaving her no room to resist, instantly swallowing her up and causing her to disappear into the secret realm.

The enormous silver dragon head slowly rose, its dazzling eyes gazing at the spot where the gate to the underworld had vanished, as if it could pierce through endless space and peer into the strange world beyond the gate.

After a long while, a cool and assessing voice whispered in the secret realm: "The laws are newly formed, and the realm is still small. Although it is far from being as vast and complete as the Douluo God Realm, its potential and foundation are exceptionally solid. It holds a unique universe, and its future is limitless."

Reborn in the divine realm, in the outer region of the divine realm's central hub.

Yali's figure was spat out by the Gate of the Underworld and landed on a huge platform suspended in the void, constructed of gray-white reincarnation divine power.

She kept her eyes closed, not yet detached from that deep state of enlightenment. Instead, because of her sudden entry into this divine realm with its different but higher laws, the mysterious aura around her became even more active, spontaneously drawing upon the laws of heaven and earth of the rebirth divine realm!

At the same time, in two other places in this vast divine realm, two powerful auras also rose into the sky almost simultaneously, stirring up the origin of the divine realm!

In one place, the dark dragon power surged and surged, like the abyss descending, carrying endless majesty and domineering power. That was Di Tian, ​​who was attacking his Golden-Eyed Black Dragon God position!

In another place, countless intricate and complex phantom images of soul guides appeared, gears turning, energy circuits shining, full of the light of wisdom and creation. That was Deng Fengqiao, condensing his soul guide godhood!

In addition, the incredibly pure and vast life force emanating from Ya Li's side, the three powerful auras of becoming gods intertwined, instantly causing the entire Realm of Rebirth to change color and the laws to roar!

The central temple of the divine realm of rebirth.

Inside the temple, Harosa and Elex, who were deeply immersed in comprehending the "Breath of the Primordial," opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

"Oh? Three at the same time?" A hint of surprise flashed in Harosa's eyes, which then turned into an expression of great interest. "That's going to be lively."

A glint flashed in Electrox's greyish-white eyes as he nodded slightly: "Your foundation is quite good, especially that life force, which subtly complements your Law of Reincarnation."

Harosa smiled. "You know how to talk," he said, seemingly feeling that simply watching the show wasn't enough. He casually raised his hand.

hum!

A gate to the underworld opened directly in the center of the temple. After the gate closed, a figure fell somewhat disheveled onto the smooth ground.

It was Ye Lan, the Holy Spirit Cult's holy maiden.

"Little Yelan, it's been a long time."

She seemed not to have fully recovered from the dizziness of the hasty escape and spatial teleportation. Her beautiful face was slightly blank. When she looked up and saw Harossa on the throne and Elex beside him, she was stunned at first, and then she was overwhelmed by great excitement and joy!

She immediately rolled over and knelt on the ground, her voice trembling slightly with excitement, yet filled with boundless awe and submission: "This humble woman, Ye Lan, pays her respects to Lord Hades! Welcome Lord Hades out of seclusion!"

Because of the large movement, the neckline of her tight dress opened slightly, revealing an alluring expanse of snow-white skin and a deep cleavage, which stood out conspicuously in the temple's gray-white light.

Harosa's gaze swept over them indifferently, showing no concern. He simply smiled slightly and said, "Get up. You've been working diligently in the lower realms all these years. Now that you're back, stay in the divine realm and prepare to break through to godhood."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for your grace, King of the Underworld! Ye Lan will certainly—"

Before she could finish speaking, Harosa seemed to remember something and casually asked, "By the way, the token I left you for self-defense seems to be destroyed? What happened?"

Ye Lan's heart tightened, and he quickly suppressed his joy, organizing his thoughts on how to plot with the Demon Emperor to bomb Shrek Academy.

He recounted in detail how the blood sacrifice, which ultimately failed, was severely injured by a golden sword shadow that suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of a child beside Yun Ming, shattering the blood sacrifice array and the skeleton figurine. His tone was filled with lingering fear and resentment.

Harosa listened, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of his throne. When he heard "golden sword shadow," he frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Thousand Blades Snow—"

However, he didn't seem to care too much, and simply nodded to indicate that he understood.

Just then, thunder roared in the void of the divine realm!

The tribulation lightning for becoming a god and being reborn in the divine realm has descended!

Three different colored but equally terrifying lightning bolts locked onto Deng Fengqiao, Di Tian, ​​and Ya Li respectively, and crashed down!

On Deng Fengqiao's side, the lightning tribulation contained countless shattered soul tool phantoms and law runes, testing his knowledge and creativity.

On Di Tian's side, a terrifying thunder dragon, as black as ink and seemingly carrying the curse and destructive will of the dragon race, was testing his bloodline and power.

On Yali's side, the tribulation was rather strange. It was not pure destruction. Within the gray-white lightning, there were actually fragments of pure life laws, as if new life was being born from destruction, testing her understanding and adherence to the true meaning of life.

Remnants of the divine consciousness fragments from the former God of Destruction and God of Life.

The three of them used their respective skills to struggle against the lightning tribulation.

Ultimately, Deng Fengqiao was the first to succeed. Relying on his ingenious arrangements of soul tools and his wisdom, as well as his years of accumulation, he successfully transcended the tribulation, his body radiating the light of rationality, and his divine position condensed into a Soul Tool God (a second-level god)!

Immediately afterwards, Di Tian let out a deafening dragon roar, and with his incomparably powerful physical body and dark dragon power, he tore apart the last lightning dragon. The enormous true form of the dragon god appeared and then disappeared, and the divine spark took shape as a golden-eyed black dragon god (a second-level god)!

Finally, and with the biggest commotion, was Yali.

The tribulation she endured was the most peculiar and the most powerful. Yet, she kept her eyes closed, as if immersed in her own world. Facing the tribulation, she did not unleash any offensive soul skills, but instead emanated an incomparably gentle yet resilient life force.

The radiance was like a gentle spring breeze and a revival of all things, gradually "neutralizing" and "absorbing" the destructive power in the thunder, and transforming it into pure life energy to nourish itself!

Her aura did not weaken during the tribulation of lightning; on the contrary, it became even more powerful and vast!

After she completely absorbed and transformed the last gray lightning bolt mixed with fragments of the Law of Life, Yali finally slowly opened her eyes.

What eyes they were! Clear as the purest spring water, yet deep as if they contained the life secrets of the entire universe.

In his eyes, it seemed as if countless phantoms of life were being born, growing, blossoming, and reincarnating.

That's the essence of creation.

An indescribable aura, warm to the extreme, benevolent to the extreme, yet carrying divine majesty, erupted from her body and swept across the entire Realm of Rebirth!

Under the influence of this aura, the gray-white rocks around the temple, which were originally somewhat cold and desolate due to the power of reincarnation, sprouted tender green buds at a speed visible to the naked eye, and bloomed into tiny flowers that emitted a soft light!

Electrox's eyes gleamed, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Such pure life force!"

Harosa nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Yali slowly floated up, her plain white dress fluttering without wind, and her golden hair flowing with the luster of life.

She successfully transcended her tribulation, and her divine status was achieved.

Reborn in the divine realm, as the God of Life (a first-level god)!

Her very existence is like hope in despair, an oasis in barrenness, bringing a distinct yet crucial splash of vibrant color to this desolate and cycle-dominated realm of gods.

Electrox sighed, "Her talent is truly exceptional. She became a first-level god the moment she ascended to godhood. I've cultivated for so long to achieve that."

Harosa said, "Old Yi, you're too kind. There are differences even among gods. Besides, you don't mention at all that Yali grew up by the Silver Dragon King's side and that her current divine status is stronger than before."

Electrolux: "Hahaha."
