Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Bei Songhe and Long Yeyue were pinned to the ground by the Death Sword, which had materialized from the Netherworld's chant, rendering them incapable of fighting. Shrek Academy's two strongest fighters were instantly critically injured, and no one could stop Harosa's advance anymore.

Harosa did not choose to finish off the enemy. It wasn't out of mercy, but because he knew all too well the terrifying power of a dying demigod's last stand, which would be extremely troublesome.

Moreover, quite a bit of time has passed since they broke in, and if they delay any longer, Tang Clan's reinforcements will likely arrive soon.

That would be even more troublesome.

Without further hesitation, he flashed and disappeared into the trunk of the ancient golden tree, which radiated a rich golden glow.

Upon entering the ancient tree, Harosa immediately felt a surge of life and light energy, as if he were immersed in a viscous warm current.

This vibrant energy, so incompatible with and even strongly repulsed by his source of death, made him feel extremely uncomfortable, even somewhat disgusted.

"In the original story, Tang Wulin relied on the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and various life energy opportunities to advance rapidly..." Harosa calmly analyzed in his mind as he moved deeper into the story, "Unfortunately, what are opportunities for others are poison for me. The clash of our origins means that forcibly absorbing them will only destroy my foundation."

But that doesn't mean he can't use it.

With a thought, Electrolux, who was dormant in his spiritual sea, immediately received the information.

A gentle yet ancient and profound fluctuation of divine consciousness emanated, cautiously touching the vast life and light energy of the outside world.

"Don't say I'm making you work for free," Harosa's voice echoed in his mind. "Absorb as much energy as you can here; time is running out."

Electrolux's phantom seemed to perk up. Without saying a word, it immediately began to guide the life and light energies that were like sweet rain to it, slowly but steadily nourishing its fragmented divine consciousness.

Harosa swiftly traversed the enormous, naturally formed passageways and tree-hole houses within the ancient tree. It was like a vast maze, with many tree holes containing treasures accumulated by Shrek Academy—extremely ancient natural materials, rare ores imbued with powerful energy, and even ancient soul tool blueprints or soul skill scrolls.

"Quite a few treasures," Harosa remarked, his movements swift and decisive. His powerful mental energy swept across the area, his storage soul tool flashing with light, sweeping away everything of value he could see.

However, after a quick search, he found nothing of the special fluctuations or inspirations related to "God" except for the suffocatingly dense life energy and the aura of light that he found repulsive.

Those so-called treasures did nothing to help him create his own divine position.

He rushed straight towards the core area at the very bottom of the ancient tree, where the energy was most concentrated.

The deeper one goes, the more the energy of life and light condenses into a liquid state, forming a golden mist that makes the deathly aura on Harosa sizzle as if it's being burned.

He endured the intense discomfort and finally reached the deepest, relatively small tree hole.

The energy concentration here had reached its peak, the golden light dazzling. Right in the heart of this environment that Harosa utterly loathed, he finally detected a faint, yet exceptionally pure and otherworldly aura!

This was not the divine radiance emanating from the entire Golden Ancient Tree, but rather a wisp... a residual divine aura! Like a faint mark imprinted in the void.

"The aura of the Sea God..." Harosa immediately recognized it. Before the God Realm disappeared, this golden ancient tree was an important passage connecting the Sea God Tang San to the lower realm. It was not surprising that it had been imbued with his divine power for a long time and left this wisp of aura at its core.

Harosa's eyes flashed with a sharp light! This was precisely his most important objective for this trip!

He immediately sat cross-legged and hovered in the center of the tree hole, ignoring the life energy around him that was repelling and burning him like boiling water, and immersed his entire mind in that faint aura of the sea god.

He attempted to analyze and comprehend the essence of this "god" that transcends the mundane and is above the rules.

The vastness, inclusiveness, and all-encompassing will contained in that aura was the key reference for him to seek breakthroughs and create his own godhood!

Time flew by as he focused on his contemplation. Harosa seemed to forget the danger he was in and the battle outside, his entire being absorbed in the profound mystery of that divine aura.

Perhaps he was too engrossed in the moment and lost track of time, or perhaps the Tang Clan's support arrived faster than he had anticipated.

suddenly!

A strong sense of impending doom pierced Harosa's consciousness like a cold needle! This premonition did not originate from him, but rather came through a soul connection from the twelve Undead Spirit Knights who were engaged in fierce battle outside!

They faced immense pressure and were even in danger of being destroyed!

Harosa was instantly jolted awake from his meditative state, a flash of anger at being interrupted crossing his eyes. Without hesitation, he transformed into a gray blur and charged upwards like lightning!

When he burst out of the golden tree trunk, the sight he saw confirmed his premonition.

Ling Yunzhi, the leader of the Tang Sect, a level 99 demigod, a four-word battle armor master, and the martial soul of the Starry Sky Jade Sword, has arrived with a large number of elite Tang Sect disciples! These disciples are well-equipped, wielding various new soul-guided weapons that Harosa has never seen before, and they cooperate with great tacit understanding as they join forces with the remaining strong members of Shrek Academy.

Under Ling Yunzhi's command and the firepower suppression of the new soul guides, the originally fierce twelve undead knights were completely suppressed! The weapons emitted strange energy nets, high-frequency shock waves, and even special beams that could erode death energy, which effectively damaged the undead knights' skeletal bodies and greatly restricted their movement and reorganization abilities.

Harosa's appearance immediately caught Ling Yunzhi's attention. "Demon, die!"

With a sharp shout, Ling Yunzhi unleashed a burst of dazzling starlight from the Starry Sky Jade Sword in his hand, which slashed straight at Harosa like a reversed Milky Way!

Harosa's eyes were icy, and the chant of the underworld greeted him!

Clang! Boom—!

Two terrifying forces collided, causing the space to tremble violently. A quasi-god versus a demigod, Harosa held an absolute advantage in power, forcing Ling Yunzhi back several steps with a single sword strike.

However, the trouble had only just begun.

Just as Harosa was preparing to give chase to Ling Yunzhi, blinding lights suddenly appeared from several directions! Several Tang Clan leaders wielding special cannons pulled the triggers without hesitation!

Instead of a deafening explosion, several distorted energy beams carrying intense disruptive fluctuations were unleashed! These energy beams did not directly attack Harosa's body, but rather precisely sealed off the space around him, creating a region of chaotic energy! At the same time, other elders launched wide-range shockwaves and energy interference projectiles!

Harosa immediately felt his body sink, and his soul power circulation became extremely sluggish. His mental perception of the outside world was also severely interfered with! It was as if he had been caught in an invisible net, and his movements became restricted and extremely uncomfortable!

These new soul-guided weapons were clearly developed to counter top-tier powerhouses!

"Damn it!" Harosa cursed inwardly. This feeling of being harassed like flies and unable to use his strength disgusted him. He watched as Ling Yunzhi regrouped and charged again with his sword, while the surrounding barrage of fire grew increasingly dense.

Harosa coldly glanced at the Bei Songhe couple who were nailed down below, then at the undead knight who was struggling to resist, and finally his gaze fell on Ling Yunzhi.

"Hmph, Tang Clan... we'll settle this score another time!"

He ceased fighting. The Netherworld Rebirth Domain suddenly contracted, forcibly retracting the twelve undead knights.

At the same time, his figure transformed into an extremely fast gray-black streak of light, instantly breaking through the outer network of interfering fire, tearing through space, and disappearing into the horizon. Leaving behind only a scene of utter devastation and the furious Shrek Academy and Tang Clan members.
