Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 219 Nine Rings? It's probably a spirit ring!

Inside the Obsidian Palace in the Abyss Plane, space slightly distorted, and the figures of the Abyss Saint and the dark gold giant skeleton controlled by Elex suddenly blurred, then vanished completely in the next moment.

In the Douluo Continent, above the far north ice sea.

Within the isolated crimson space shrouded and isolated by the [Blood River God-Slaying Array], ripples spread across the space like the surface of water, and the Abyss Saint King and the giant skeleton mage Ilex stepped out of thin air!

The moment the Abyss Saint appeared, a barely perceptible hint of doubt flashed in his blood-red eyes. He subconsciously sensed the connection between himself and the Demon Emperor, muttering to himself, "Huh? Strange—the pre-prepared contingency plan for possession doesn't seem to have been triggered? Is the isolation of this formation too strong, or—"

Not right.

But he quickly put those doubts aside. His absolute confidence in his own abilities made him feel that this little accident was insignificant.

He spread his arms wide, as if to embrace the entire Douluo Continent, his unrestrained and arrogant laughter echoing through this blood-red space: "Hahahaha! Douluo! Your great Holy Lord has arrived! Are you ready to face your—apocalypse?!"

He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on the Demon Emperor who was presiding over the grand formation and surrounded by blood-red energy. A condescending smile, as if bestowing a favor, appeared on his face: "Demon Emperor? It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. Tell me, you have rendered such a service to my arrival, what favor do you desire? I can grant you anything!"

He truly hadn't expected the Demon Emperor to be so efficient, managing to activate the great formation so quickly that it was sufficient to support the descent of his true form.

Although the Demon Queen already knew of the Abyss Saint King's power from Ye Lan, when she actually faced him, the terrifying pressure that seemed to come from the entire abyss still shook her to her core, and her blood and energy were momentarily disordered.

But she was strong-willed and stubborn, how could she show weakness? She immediately snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain and disgust: "Grace? A monster who crawled out of a filthy abyss, dares to talk about grace in front of me?"

It's absolutely disgusting!

The smile on the Abyss Saint King's face froze instantly, gradually turning into unbelievable rage!

He proclaimed himself the Lord of the Abyss, his form the perfect embodiment of evolution to its ultimate limit, yet now he was directly called a "filthy monster" by a "false god" from a lower plane.

"Ugly Douluo insect! How dare you blaspheme the Holy Monarch?!"

The Abyss Saint's voice turned icy and chilling, his killing intent spreading like a tangible force. "So be it! Now that I, the Saint, have descended in my true form, your Holy Spirit Cult—and you, this pawn—are utterly worthless! May you—return to eternal annihilation!"

Within the space isolated by the Blood River God-Slaying Array, the suppressive power of the Douluo Plane was greatly weakened, and the vast divine might of the Abyss Saint King, who belonged to a first-level god, erupted without reservation!

It was as if the malice of the entire universe was crashing down, intending to completely crush the Demon Emperor and Ye Lan in the formation into dust!

Faced with such a terrifying aura, ordinary beings below the god level would probably not even be able to stand up before their souls and bodies are destroyed!

However, were the Demon Emperor and Ye Lan not the kind of people who would sit idly by and wait for their doom?

"Roar!" The Demon Emperor let out a sharp whale-like roar, and her body shone with intense blood-red light! Beneath her feet, the entire Blood River God-Slaying Array operated wildly, and the blood energy and soul power of the countless sea soul beasts she had previously devoured and refined surged into her body like boiling magma, giving her a temporary power far exceeding her own limits!

A crimson pillar of light, mixed with a murderous aura that had solidified into a tangible form, soared into the sky and fiercely met the oppressive power of the Abyss Saint King!

At the same time, Ye Lan's eyes narrowed, and her hands quickly formed hand seals. Pure dark divine power and necromancy surged out, transforming into an indestructible gray-black barrier that protected her and the Demon Emperor!

Although she is only a third-level deity, her divine power is pure, her understanding of the laws is extraordinary, and she also has the foundation bestowed upon her by Harosa!

She is a god in the realm of reincarnation, the Goddess of Darkness!

One attacked, the other defended; their breaths were connected, and at that moment they formed a brief, wondrous synergy!

boom!!!

An invisible clash of forces erupted within this crimson space, producing a muffled roar! The anticipated instant collapse did not occur. Although the bloodthirsty aura and the dark barrier trembled violently and flickered, they stubbornly withstood the crushing force of the Abyss Saint King's enraged aura!

Although they were still at a significant disadvantage, they managed to put up a brief but manageable resistance!

This direct confrontation instantly transformed the Abyss Saint King's rage into profound astonishment and disbelief. His divine light locked onto Ye Lan, intently sensing the pure and complete divine power and aura of law emanating from her without any concealment. He exclaimed in shock, "A divine position?! You—you actually possess a complete divine position?! How is this possible?!"

He seemed to have witnessed the most unbelievable thing, his voice trembling with shock: "The Douluo God Realm has long since departed from this plane! The laws of this realm are incomplete, making it impossible for new gods to naturally arise! You—who exactly are you?! Where did your godhood come from?!"

Despite the overwhelming pressure, Ye Lan's beautiful face revealed a mocking sneer. Though her voice trembled slightly under the pressure, it still carried undisguised contempt: "A frog in a well! Can you only see that one world, the Douluo God Realm? How pathetic and laughable!"

These words enraged the Abyss Saint King even more, and his blood-red eyes blazed with murderous intent: "Sharp-tongued! Even if you got lucky and stole a third-level godhood from somewhere, so what? In front of this Saint King, you are still an ant!"

This holy ruler can suppress and kill them with a mere flick of his hand!

Before he finished speaking, the pressure emanating from his body increased sharply again! Like a tangible wave of blood, wave after wave crashed against the defenses constructed by Ye Lan and the Demon Emperor!

Click!

The dark barrier erected by the night was the first to shatter under the strain, cracks spreading rapidly! The bloodthirsty energy gathered by the Demon Emperor was also compressed to an extreme degree, churning violently, as if it would collapse and backfire at any moment! The two groaned, their knees involuntarily bending, and it seemed that they would be forced to kneel on the ground by the absolute difference in power, their souls about to be crushed!

At this critical moment—

A cold, majestic voice, seemingly imbued with the will of the universe's cycle of birth and death, suddenly exploded in this blood-red space like a thunderclap: "Hmph! Where did this insignificant abyssal worm come from, daring to insult a subordinate god of my Samsara God Realm? Hmm?!"

The last "hmm" sound, carrying supreme authority and questioning, struck the mind of the Abyss Saint King like a heavy hammer!

puff!

The Abyss Saint King's originally overwhelming and terrifying pressure was instantly extinguished as if by an invisible giant hand!

He himself was struck as if by a heavy blow. His body trembled violently, his face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with black smoke. His aura weakened at a visible speed!

He looked up in utter horror!

Before Ye Lan and the Demon Emperor, a figure had silently appeared. The newcomer wore simple casual clothes, yet they could not conceal the supreme majesty that seemed innate, a majesty that commanded the reincarnation of all spirits!

What made the Abyss Saint King's soul tremble was that behind that figure, there were nine slowly rotating divine halos, each radiating a completely different yet equally vast and boundless legal meaning, like nine dazzling universes, illuminating the entire blood-red space and causing it to lose its color!

Nine rings?! God King?!

The Abyss Saint King felt his scalp tingle, his liver and gallbladder tremble, and his mind went completely blank! The Samsara God Realm? Which god realm is this?! As far as he knew, there was only one high-level god realm around the Douluo Starfield! How could a mysterious god realm with a God King presiding over it suddenly appear?!

"No! It must be fake!" After the extreme fear, the Abyss Saint King suddenly had an absurd sense of luck, "If the Douluo plane really had the protection of a God King, it should have already invaded the Abyss and devoured my plane!"

How could they have tolerated this until now? This must be some kind of extremely sophisticated illusion or simulation technique! Yes! That must be it!

Just as recorded in history, the god of emotions once used similar methods to frighten people!

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. He forcibly suppressed the fear and surging blood in his heart, straightened his back, and forced a twisted smile that seemed to see through everything. His voice carried a deliberate feigned calmness and mockery: "Hmph! Playing tricks! In the historical records of the Douluo plane, your God of Emotions was most skilled at a set of simulated frightening tricks, relying on such methods to take advantage of others! It seems that you Douluo people have inherited this kind of bluffing trick quite well!"

The more he spoke, the more confident he felt he had grasped the truth, and his tone became increasingly certain, as if he had already mastered the art and seen through the other party's "disguise": "It's nothing but some high-level illusions and mental attacks! You think you can scare me off with that? Wishful thinking! Such tricks might fool a three-year-old, but in front of me, it's nothing but showing off your limited skills!"

He stared intently at Harosa, trying to detect a trace of panic on the other's face after being exposed, constantly reassuring himself, "It must be fake! It's absolutely fake!"

Don't scare yourself.

Harosa found it inexplicably amusing: "Oh? You think I'm fake?"

Seeing that Harosa didn't attack him immediately, the Abyss Saint King was even more certain that Harosa was a fake. "Nine rings? This Saint King thinks you're more like a spirit ring."
