Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 256 Seeing Clearly

Halosa stood suspended in the void outside the Heavenly Star, his dark golden divine armor gleaming coldly under the distant starlight.

His gaze, like the most precise ruler, traversed the vast distance measured in light-years, firmly locking onto the vibrant celestial outline of the Dragon-Horse Twin Stars.

Behind them lay the entire Tianhe Star, protected by multiple layers of concealment and isolation barriers jointly imposed by the two God-Kings, as well as the Star Destroyer Soul Guidance Matrix, which was poised to unleash its power like a lurking ferocious beast.

Electrox stood silently beside him, his grey mage robes motionless in the vacuum, only the gem at the top of the Staff of Eternity shimmering with a premonition.

Even he, at this moment, the soul fire leaping in his empty eye sockets seemed slightly more solid than usual, clearly closely watching everything that was about to happen.

"Let's begin."

Harosa's voice was calm and even, as if stating a given fact. But those three words were like a stone thrown into a still lake, instantly stirring up a monstrous wave within the vast core control area of ​​the soul-guiding matrix of Tianhe Star.

Deng Fengqiao, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly blushed with an almost frenzied radiance. He took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress all his excitement and anticipation into his chest, and then, through the divine thought network, issued the long-awaited command: "Star Destroyer Matrix—Activate! Full unit overload output! Target locked, Tianlong Star, Tianma Star! Fire!!"

The moment the order was given, time seemed to stretch and freeze.

The first to light up were the tens of thousands of large soul-guided bases on the surface of Tianhe Star.

They were like sleeping star beasts suddenly awakened, the soul guidance circuits engraved on their surfaces shining wildly with unprecedented brightness, from dark blue to blazing white, and the humming sound of surging energy seemed to penetrate the soul even through the barrier.

Countless beams of energy, varying in thickness, rose from every corner of the planet like rivers flowing into the sea, tearing through the atmosphere and converging into the predetermined, invisible energy focal point in space.

If viewed from a very high dimensional perspective, one would discover that these energy flows are not chaotic. They precisely outline and fill the outer space of the heavens and stars, ultimately forming a colossal, complex, and dazzling three-dimensional magic array.

At the very center of this magic circle, where the energy is most concentrated, space begins to violently distort and collapse, as if an invisible giant hand is kneading reality.

Gradually, a "thing" was born at that point of collapse.

It wasn't a physical entity; it was more like a pure "eye" made of destructive energy.

It was enormous, with pupils that were so deep they seemed to swallow all light, while the whites of its eyes were composed of countless leaping, surging lightning snakes and highly compressed streams of soul power particles, emitting a chilling, pale light.

This "Eye of Energy" coldly "gazes" at the distant Dragon-Horse Twin Stars, devoid of any emotion, only a pure, destructive will directed towards the end.

At this moment, the entire planet-destroying matrix seemed to come alive, a life created solely for destruction.

"Energy level breaks through the threshold! Law resonance is stable! Spatial anchoring complete!" On the control platform, a Soul Master's voice trembled as he reported, filled with excitement and a hint of awe at the immense power he had personally unleashed.

Deng Fengqiao clenched his fists so tightly his nails almost dug into his palms. He stared intently at the frantically pulsating data stream on the main control screen and roared hoarsely, "Now! Launch the Light of Return to Nothingness!!"

The pupil of the "Eye of Energy," its extreme darkness suddenly contracted inward, as if it were about to devour its own existence. Then, a terrifying beam of light, its color indescribable, somewhere between a deep blue and a blazing white, burst forth from the pupil, which had shrunk to its limit!

It is not an energy jet in the traditional sense, but rather a torrent of laws forcibly endowed with the concepts of "penetration" and "annihilation".

The beam of light was so large that it could easily engulf several asteroids, and its core brightness eclipsed the nearby stars. Wherever the beam passed, space was not torn apart, but rather exhibited a strange "melting" state, as if the curtain of the universe had been forcibly ironed and assimilated by this light, leaving behind a brief, illusory passage.

This blue (or more accurately, blue and white) laser pillar, spanning the sea of ​​stars, carrying the pinnacle power of soul-guided technology, hurtled toward the Dragon-Horse Twin Stars in a way that transcended the concept of conventional physical speed!

Distance seemed to lose its meaning in the face of this light of returning to nothingness. Although they were far apart, it was as if it was only a blink of an eye. The destructive edge had already approached the outer space of the twin stars!

At the moment the planet-destroying cannon was fired, even the instigators, Haros and Elex, two knowledgeable god-kings who wielded supreme laws, had a slight change in expression.

Harosa's deep eyes swirled with the divine runes of reincarnation, clearly analyzing the terrifying energy levels and destructive power of the laws contained within the light of the void.

He spoke in a low voice, his tone unusually solemn: "What a powerful Soul Guiding Light of Return to Nothingness! The concentration and destructiveness of this energy—if a God-King doesn't dodge and takes it head-on with his divine body, he might also be in danger of perishing."

Electrolux's hoarse voice then rang out, adding, "And judging by the sustainability of this energy output—if a God-King were to be imprisoned and unable to escape, and were to fully withstand the damage from this pillar of light—it would likely be enough to completely obliterate a God-King's soul, divine essence, and divine body, reducing them to nothingness."

The two god-kings exchanged a glance, both seeing confirmation in each other's eyes. The power of this planet-destroying cannon was indeed terrifying enough to threaten and even kill a god-king!

Of course, they also knew that the God-King was not a sitting duck, possessing various means of teleporting, avoiding damage, and even redirecting attacks. In actual combat, hitting a prepared God-King with such a direct attack would be extremely difficult. But this could not obscure its destructive power.

Unlike the God King's calm analysis, the Soul Master camp, led by Deng Fengqiao, was now in a frenzy of jubilation within Tianhe Star.

"We did it! We did it!"

"Look at these energy readings! Look at this disturbance of the laws! This is power! Pure, controlled destructive power!"

"Let that so-called Dragon God see! Let her witness what the pinnacle of soul-guided technology truly is! Let her see what it means for mortal wisdom to rival that of gods and demons!"

Deng Fengqiao was so excited that he danced around, his face flushed. He shouted almost maniacally at the blue beam of light that stretched across the starry sea on the main control screen, "Yes! That's it! Go! Let the entire Dragon Horse Galaxy remember this moment! This is the roar of my Reincarnation God Realm's Soul Guidance Technology!"

Just as the planet-destroying cannon fired, and the light of annihilation tore through the starry sky, its terrifying destructive aura could no longer be completely concealed, spreading out like a boulder thrown into calm water—

At the core of the Dragon Horse Galaxy, on Tianlong Star, inside the Dragon God Temple.

As Gu Yuena was receiving the worship of several newly ascended dragon kings and feeling the dragon clan's fortune gathering like a rainbow, the smug expression on her beautiful face, which was filled with the majesty of a dragon god, suddenly froze!

She suddenly raised her head, her chaotic dragon eyes instantly shrinking to the tip of a needle, her sharp, tangible gaze seemingly piercing through the palace dome and the atmosphere of Tianlong Star, fixing itself firmly on the direction of Tianhe Star!

A strong sense of crisis, so intense it made her very soul tremble, washed over her body like ice water!

This was not a sneak attack on her personally, but a complete and devastating blow to the very foundation of her rule, to the Dragon and Horse Twins themselves!

"presumptuous!"

A cold, clear shout, filled with boundless rage, resounded like a dragon's roar from the heavens, instantly echoing throughout Tianlong Star and even reverberating in nearby star fields! Gu Yuena's figure blurred and vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, she appeared outside Tianlong Star, in the vast and cold void of the universe.

She remained in human form, but her aura was completely different. A chaotic, dragon-god-like radiance erupted from her body without restraint, dazzling like the birth of a supernova!

Her long silver hair danced wildly under the surge of divine power, each strand flowing with the laws of creation and the majesty of the dragon race.

Behind her, an unimaginably enormous phantom of a dragon god appeared and disappeared. The phantom also had a chaotic color, and between the opening and closing of its dragon eyes, it seemed as if the scenes of the birth and death of the universe were flowing.

There was no time to hesitate, no time to ponder the source of the attack. That blue-white beam of light, powerful enough to annihilate stars, was already upon them!

Its target is a key node in the orbit of the Dragon Star and the Pegasus Star. If it hits, the chain reaction it triggers could cause the binary star system to become unbalanced, or even cause the collapse of the star structure!

A resolute glint flashed in Gu Yuena's chaotic eyes. She couldn't hide; behind her lay her people, her very foundation!

"The Wall of Creation, Guardian of the Universe!"

She formed an incredibly profound Dragon God hand seal with her hands in front of her chest, within which chaotic divine power flowed, and the illusory Dragon God behind her let out a soul-shaking roar.

The vast and boundless power of the Chaos Dragon God, like a bursting dam, surged forth with unprecedented intensity. It did not manifest as an attack, but rather rapidly constructed and unfolded in the cosmic space in front of the twin stars!

That wasn't a simple energy shield; it was more like a temporary, independent miniature universe!

Within the realm, the four fundamental elemental laws of earth, water, fire, and wind were forcibly stabilized, the spatial structure was reinforced a thousandfold, the flow of time seemed to become viscous, and countless intricate chaotic runes containing the essence of life creation and balance of all things were born, died, and flowed within it!

This "Wall of Creation" embodies Gu Yuena's supreme understanding of the Dragon God's laws of creation and is the ultimate manifestation of her current defensive measures!

At the very moment this chaotic barrier stretching across the starry sky took shape, the light of the Star Destroyer Cannon's return to nothingness arrived!

"Boom!"

No known onomatopoeia can describe the deafening roar of the collision. It was a clash of laws, a confrontation between ultimate destruction and the protection of creation!

The blue-white light of the void crashed violently into that chaotic realm. The expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur immediately; instead, the light of the void seemed to sink into a boundless yet incredibly resilient swamp.

Destructive energy relentlessly assaulted and eroded every inch of the realm's structure, attempting to assimilate and annihilate it. The Wall of Creation, however, with its inherent power of perpetual creation and balance, continuously mitigated, transformed, and dispersed this destructive torrent.

Within the chaotic realm, the scene was bizarre and surreal. At times, blue streams of destructive light could be seen tearing through the chaos; at other times, the chaotic energy could be seen condensing into phantoms of mountains and rivers to suppress the streams of light. At times, countless primordial dragon runes flickered uncertainly under the impact; at other times, the light of the void could be seen condensing into a spear of law, attempting to pierce through everything.

Gu Yuena hovered behind the Wall of Creation, an unnatural flush appearing on her beautiful face, her teeth clenched, clearly under immense pressure.

The chaotic light fluctuated violently around her, occasionally even flickering with extremely subtle and unstable light. Her divine body trembled slightly, and a wisp of pale golden blood quietly spilled from the corner of her tightly pursed lips.

She's putting up a tough fight! With the power of a God-King at its peak, she's withstanding a star-destroying blow that could kill even a God-King!

The energy exchange lasted for several breaths, a fleeting moment on a cosmic scale, but an eternity for the two sides clashing.

Finally, the blue-white pillar of light that traversed the starry sea reached its limit after continuous impact and consumption, slowly dissipating and annihilating into nothingness.

The chaotic-colored creation wall constructed by Gu Yuena also let out a mournful cry of unbearable burden after the last ray of light of return to nothingness disappeared. Like shattered glass, it broke into countless chaotic light spots that slowly dissipated into the starry sky.

It's blocked!

The Dragon and Horse Twins are completely intact!

But Gu Yuena's figure swayed slightly the moment the barrier shattered. She raised her hand and gently wiped away the streak of golden blood from the corner of her mouth.

Although her aura remained as vast as the sea, it was noticeably weaker than before, and the chaotic dragon god's radiance was slightly dimmer. She had been injured; while not severely wounded, it was a real injury, especially at the level of divine consciousness and divine power, as she had expended a great deal of energy to maintain the barrier of creation.

Far beyond the heavens and stars, Harosa witnessed the entire process, including how Gu Yuena reacted instantly, how she used the laws of creation to defend herself, how she was injured in the confrontation, and the details of the final shattering of the Wall of Creation.

The divine runes of reincarnation in his eyes slowly subsided, returning to a state of perfect stillness. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, giving his assessment, his voice calm yet carrying a hint of confirmation: "Very strong. The defensive form of the Creation Law is used with considerable skill, the divine power reserves have indeed reached the peak level of a God-King, and the reaction speed is impeccable."

He paused slightly, a faint smile curving his lips, as if a hunter had finally seen through the prey's true nature.

"But—we can fight."

These three words, seemingly light and airy, set the initial tone for this potential intergalactic conflict. He saw Gu Yuena's power, her limits, and—a possible breakthrough. For Harosa, that was enough.

The laws of creation are inferior to his supreme law of reincarnation.
