Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 217 The Rabbit Grieves for the Fox

The Douluo Continent today appears to be revitalized by the revival of life, but in reality, it is turbulent beneath the surface, like a dark river with countless whirlpools hidden beneath a calm surface, or a tall building that is silent and shaky before the storm.

Shrek Academy, inside the Sea God Pavilion.

Yun Ming and Zang Xin sat facing each other, the atmosphere heavy. The news that the Spirit Pagoda headquarters and its various branches had been uprooted by the Soul Beasts with lightning speed had spread throughout the continent, and naturally it had reached their ears as well.

Yun Ming's handsome face was etched with a complex and indescribable melancholy. He spoke slowly, his voice slightly hoarse: "Back then, when Shrek City suffered that catastrophic disaster, the old tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Dieting, and Qian Gu Dongfeng, both led their troops to aid us—although in the end—Senior Qian Gu Dieting died on the spot, and Brother Dongfeng is now also—this kindness, Shrek ultimately owes them. But now, we can only watch helplessly as the Spirit Pagoda falls to such a state, powerless to do anything—"

His tone carried a deep sense of powerlessness and a desolate feeling of shared sorrow.

Zang Xin also sighed deeply. The usually optimistic Zang Xin was now frowning. "The sudden rise of the Soul Beast race, with the birth of a god-level being, suggests that there are probably terrifying beings behind them that we don't know about. For ten thousand years, the Spirit Pagoda has oppressed the Soul Beasts the most and hunted them the most. Now that they have power, it is only natural that they would retaliate against the Spirit Pagoda first." He was more rational in his view, but he could not hide his worry.

Yun Ming's gaze drifted out the window, as if he could pierce through the void and see the unknown threat: "The plane has changed drastically. Soul beasts have gods, but humans—have no gods. All we can do now is wait, wait for Wu Lin to grow up quickly and achieve godhood, so that we can turn the tide."

Zang Xin's concerns were more practical: "I'm just afraid that the next target of the soul beasts will be our Shrek Academy. After all, our relationship with soul beasts has never been friendly. A true god—" Just thinking about it sent a chill down his spine.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming forcibly suppressed the gloom in his heart, forcing a smile as he tried to reassure his old friend: "Don't worry. In Shrek Academy, with me and the Golden Tree here, even if a god himself came, we might not be unable to hold him off."

Zang Xin's eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Really? Old Yun, this is no joke!"

Yun Ming nodded affirmatively, pointing to the ancient golden tree outside the window, which had already recovered its lushness, its entire body flowing with golden light and radiating vast life energy: "Of course it's real. The ancient golden tree is connected to the origin of the Douluo plane. I can use it to temporarily mobilize the plane's life energy for my own use, to build the strongest defense. Now the plane is recovering, and the energy is abundant, so extracting some for defense is not a big problem."

His words carried an undeniable confidence, a confidence that came from being the strongest human in the world and being deeply bound to the Golden Tree.

Looking at the ancient golden tree that seemed to support the heavens and the earth, Zang Xin felt somewhat relieved, but the fear of divine power had not completely dissipated.

Deep in the ocean, within a demon's lair.

Under the generous nourishment of Ye Lan's divine essence, the Demon Emperor's injuries have been completely healed, and his aura has even become more refined than before.

At this moment, she was concentrating on sensing the complex and extremely ferocious array [Blood River God-Slaying Array] that was transmitted from the Abyss Plane in her mind!

Ye Lan, standing to the side, also gained a general understanding of the terrifying effects of this formation through the Demon Emperor's sharing. He couldn't help but click his tongue and comment, "Tsk tsk, what a vicious and domineering formation! It devours the essence, blood, and souls of all things to strengthen itself, isolates heaven and earth, and kills gods and destroys souls—those guys in the Abyss are indeed a bunch of killing machines!"

The Demon Emperor, however, was completely unconcerned. Instead, her eyes gleamed with excitement and greed: "This is a treasure! If I had had this formation back then, why would I have needed to accumulate so much energy? I would have already absorbed enough energy to break through the level 100 barrier and become a true god!" She was thinking of using this formation to more efficiently slaughter those "betrayed" sea spirit beasts.

A cold, sinister smile appeared on her face: "However, it's not too late to get it now! Those who believe in the sea god..."

"You traitors of the sea who betrayed the glory of soul beasts, become nourishment for this great formation!"

Looking at her, blinded by hatred and power, Ye Lan shook his head helplessly: "I don't quite understand your deep-seated grudges. However, you should still be careful and wary of the Abyss Saint. This Blood River God-Slaying Array is mysterious and unpredictable; the fact that he handed it over to you so readily suggests there might be some hidden tricks inside. Perhaps—"

"May I ask an adult to help me check it?" she suggested.

Hearing the concern in Ye Lan's words, the Demon Queen felt a rare warmth in her heart, and her violent gaze softened slightly. She looked at Ye Lan and nodded gently: "Okay—I'll listen to you."

Ye Lan felt uncomfortable at her sudden change in attitude and immediately gave her a disgusted look, rubbing her arms: "Ugh~ Why are you being so mushy all of a sudden? Can't you be normal?"

The Demon Emperor was instantly filled with shame and anger. The tenderness he had just felt vanished without a trace, and he roared with a flushed face, "Night!"

"Lan!!"

The perspective shifts back to the cozy space opened up by Halosa.

Yali, like the most clingy cat, clung tightly to Harossa, her smooth cheeks rubbing against his firm chest, as if she wanted to meld herself into his body.

Harosa smiled helplessly and patted her smooth back: "Still not satisfied?"

Yali's voice carried a languid aftertaste and a hint of coquettishness as she shook her head in his arms: "Not enough—"

Harosa chuckled, "Then you should get down first? I can't move like this."

"No~" Yali hugged him even tighter, her long golden hair covering his chest.

And so, another round of passionate lovemaking ensued.

After a long while, Harosa looked down at the person in his arms: "Shouldn't you be satisfied now?"

Yali lay on top of him, her thick, cascading golden hair slightly disheveled, covering her face and smooth back, revealing lingering flush and post-coital exhaustion beneath. She made a soft, nasal sound, like she was dreaming: "Mmm~"

Harosa inhaled the unique fragrance of her hair, casually stroking a strand as he spoke, "Ye Lan just sent word that the Abyss Saint King gave the Demon Emperor a grand formation called 'Blood River Godslayer.' Sure enough, it contained some hidden traps for tracking and backlash, which I've already neutralized. It seems that the one from the Abyss is eager to make his move against Douluo."

Upon hearing this, Ya Li slightly raised her head, brushed aside the strands of hair on her face, revealing a pair of golden eyes that had been somewhat hazy but had regained their clarity, and gazed intently at Harossa: "Then you'll have to take action. I'm all yours now, and the Douluo Plane—naturally, is yours too. You must protect it and not let it be swallowed by the abyss."

Her tone carried a sense of entitlement and a hint of spoiled arrogance.

Harosa chuckled softly at her expression, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Of course, you're such a good girl, so what's yours is naturally mine. How could I allow anyone else to covet it?"

Upon hearing this, Yali nestled back into his arms, found a comfortable spot, and fell into a deep sleep, a relieved smile on her lips.

Harosa gently stroked her blonde hair, but her eyes grew deep.

Once upon a time, his initial plan was to completely devour the Douluo Continent as nourishment for his ascension to the God Realm.

However, because of Yali, the goddess of life who had been unexpectedly drawn into his life and gradually occupied an important position, he changed his mind.

While the "Primordial Breath" contained within the Douluo Continent itself is valuable, what is even more important is Ya Li's deep love and responsibility for this land.

"The Spirit Pagoda was wiped out by the Soul Beasts—" he thought to himself. "It seems Gu Yuena is determined to revive the Soul Beast race, and she has elevated the Ten Thousand Beast Platform plan to its highest priority. The Dragon God Core—a super artifact—is indeed troublesome. Fortunately, I am not without the power to resist now."

On his wrist, six ancient, circular phantoms flashed by, radiating the aura of the supreme law of reincarnation.
