Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

However, this time, they did not attack each other violently as they had after absorbing the dragon's energy last time. Guided by the "Boundary Building Technique," they seemed to be bound by invisible rules, instinctively moving towards the key nodes in the space.

Upon reaching the node, the activated skeletons either prostrated themselves on the ground or plunged their massive skeletal arms into the earth.

The aura of death emanating from them began to merge with the death power infused by Harossa, and slowly flowed along the network of magical runes.

More importantly, Harosa gritted his teeth and separated a small strand of the extremely precious "Pure Netherworld Essence" from the core of the Netherworld within his body, injecting it into several of the most crucial nodes!

This wisp of pure Netherworld essence acted like the most efficient catalyst! Wherever it went, the death aura emanating from the skeletons instantly became even purer and more concentrated!

These purified and enhanced auras of death, in turn, are guided by the "Dead Bodies Building Technique" to integrate into the spatial structure more quickly, reinforcing the fragile spatial barriers.

At the same time, it also nourishes the skeletons that serve as the "foundation," making the death energy they emit more stable and powerful.

A preliminary, virtuous cycle begins to form: Harosa infuses power to activate and guide the skeleton → the skeleton acts as a node to stabilize the space and release the power of death → the power of death is absorbed by the space and strengthens the barrier, while being purified by the magic circle → the purified power of death feeds back into the skeleton, making it stronger → the stronger skeleton releases more stable power to reinforce the space.

The unsettling, subtle tremors of the spatial barrier had noticeably lessened. The atmosphere of the entire small world had become more solid and stable, no longer in a state where it seemed on the verge of collapse.

Harosa and Electrox both breathed a sigh of relief. The initial stabilization was complete.

However, looking at the skeletons that were fixed on the nodes like worker ants, silently emanating the aura of death to stabilize the space, Harosa and Elex knew that this was only the beginning.

"The Art of Building Boundaries with Corpses" merely laid the foundation and constructed a framework.

For this small skeleton world to truly stabilize and reach a point where it can exist for a long time, even grow on its own, like the Electrox undead demiplane, it will require a long period of accumulation, an injection of more death essence, and the birth of more powerful undead "lords" with a certain level of intelligence to preside over this cycle... The road ahead is long and arduous.

Electrolux's consciousness seemed somewhat weary: "This old man... needs to slumber for a while." This spell and the previous exertion had taken a heavy toll on his remnant soul.

Harosa nodded: "You should rest. It's too early to secure this place."

His gaze swept over this land of the dead, which was beginning to radiate a different kind of "life." His consciousness was calm as still water, but his thoughts were racing.

He reviewed the various small worlds or special spaces known on the Douluo Continent that were attached to the main plane.

The Temple of War God has the Arena of War God, a space used for simulating battles and training warriors.

In Harosa's view, this space is more like a large, regulated training ground or arena, which is what he perceives as the "King's Canyon." Its essence is a virtual battlefield constructed using spatial folding and energy projection technology, rather than a "plane" with independent rules and ecology in the true sense.

There is also the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, which belongs to the soul beasts. It was originally a small world prototype created by Da Ming and Er Ming by collecting the remnants of soul beasts. Later, it was transformed by the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, which is suitable for the survival of soul beasts.

This can be considered a prototype of a small world with basic ecological cycles, with good potential, but the core lies in the remnant souls of soul beasts and the transformation of Gu Yuena.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Platform was a conspiracy that almost overturned the situation of soul beasts and humans, but unfortunately Gu Yuena wasn't ruthless enough.

Another one is the Seven Sacred Abyss, a special dimension that Shrek Academy later created at the bottom of Sea God Lake. Its predecessor was the forbidden land in the North Sea of ​​Douluo Continent, a place that struck fear into the hearts of everyone—Devil Island!

This is the most valuable part in Harosa's eyes!

Harosa has a clear memory of the origins of Devil's Island.

That was after the great battle between the God King of Destruction and the Sea God Tang San in the God Realm. The God King of Destruction sacrificed himself to protect the God Realm, and his wife, the Goddess of Life, followed him in death. The shattered bodies of the two God Kings and fragments of super artifacts scattered throughout the universe. One of these fragments fell into the North Sea of ​​Douluo Continent, forming Devil Island.

Fragments at the God-King level contain laws and energy powerful enough to distort reality and affect all beings below the God-level! Devil Island and its surrounding waters have thus become forbidden zones for life.

More importantly, Devil's Island is not simply a place of destruction. It is a strange place formed from the sacrifice of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, a place where the two opposing fundamental laws of destruction and life collide, intertwine, and twist!

The island is filled with destructive energy storms, yet strangely, it also possesses a tenacious and indomitable life force.

There are also seven special beings on the island—the Seven Old Demons. They are the Shrek Seven Devils from a certain generation of Shrek Academy, who were unfortunately trapped on Devil Island while carrying out a mission.

Over the long years, they were repeatedly washed away and transformed by the island's violent destructive energy and dissipated life force, turning into "old demons" who were neither human nor ghost and whose forms were distorted.

Not only did they survive, but their souls were also imbued with the divinity emanating from the fragments of the God King for a long time. Their spiritual power reached the Divine Origin Realm, and the essence of their souls underwent a transformation, becoming tainted with divinity!

Some believe that the Seven Old Demons correspond to the Seven Deadly Sins of Destruction, and are positioned close to first-level deities.

Harosa scoffed at this.

In the realm of gods, they might be able to obtain divine positions through divinity, but on Devil's Island, they are merely seven special souls whose power has been distorted and strengthened by the fragments of the God King.

Their strength certainly far surpasses that of ordinary demigods, possessing divine essence and spiritual power, but definitely not at the level of a priest. However, the divinity they possess is a genuine treasure!

As for why they weren't at the level of a standard god, it was because the Seven Demon Lords were severely restricted by the terrain; they couldn't leave the source of destruction and life and were trapped on Devil's Island.

"Devil's Island... a place where the fragments of a god-king are intertwined with destruction and life... and seven divine souls at the Divine Origin Realm..." Harosa's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Although his little world of skeletons has been initially stabilized, it is still far from becoming the "prototype" that he envisioned as bearing the divine position of death.

The fragments of the God King's Law contained on Devil Island and those seven special old demons are exactly the "nourishment" he needs most right now!

It can also help one create their own divine position.

If he could devour and refine some fragments of the God-King's Laws, unravel the mysteries of the intertwining of destruction and life, and even absorb the divinity and soul essence of those seven old demons... his Skull World would receive an unimaginable boost, and his path to creating his own godhood would be greatly shortened!

The goal is crystal clear.

Harosa remembered that Devil Island was located in the northern sea area of ​​Douluo Continent.

He didn't linger.

With a flash, he left the Skull World and appeared on the turbulent sea.

His spiritual power, like an invisible giant net, instantly spread out, covering an extremely vast sea area. He accurately pinpointed the direction of the North Sea.

Lock the direction.

Harosa's figure transformed into an elusive gray streak, tearing through the air and hurtling towards the depths of the North Sea of ​​Douluo Continent at an astonishing speed!
