Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 262 Offense and Defense in Transformation

Gu Yuena's roar, imbued with the fury of burning stars, echoed across the starry sky. However, what responded to her was not cowardice or retreat, but an ever-surging, boundless origin that seemed to want to incorporate the entire Dragon Horse Galaxy into its cycle of reincarnation!

Support from the Realm of Reincarnation, like a bursting dam, poured into the battlefield through the mysterious passage between the "Mysterious Shadow Sword" and the "Osmanthus Sword".

The divine radiance of reincarnation, flowing in crescent white and jet black, has completely suppressed and repelled the special dragon energy originating from the Ascending Dragon Pillar. Like the rising tide submerging the streams on the beach, it has transformed the Dragon Horse Twin Stars and the vast surrounding star field into a domain unique to the laws of reincarnation!

In this realm, the gods of the Samsara God Realm were as if they had returned to their home ground. Their divine power flowed more smoothly, their injuries healed faster, and even the power of their divine spells was subtly amplified.

On the other hand, the dragons were like being mired in a quagmire, their bodies entangled and eroded by the invisible power of reincarnation, greatly diminishing their strength.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation artifact, which had just "sent off" the three Dragon Kings and was hovering behind Harosa, now slowly rotated its six halos, radiating an even more awe-inspiring pressure than before.

Within the halo, it seemed as if countless worlds were being born and dying, and billions of beings were reincarnating. A supreme realm that held the fate of all things and judged the destiny of all beings spread out, echoing the origin of reincarnation that filled the starry sky. At this moment, Harosa's aura was faintly on par with the furious Gu Yuena!

"die!"

Gu Yuena went completely mad, her reason consumed by rage and grief. She abandoned all skill and strategy, unleashing the chaotic power of the Dragon God without reservation. The Dragon God Spear transformed into a destructive torrent of chaos, carrying the terrifying power to crush stars and reshape the earth, water, fire, and wind, launching its most ferocious and reckless attack on Harosa!

Wherever the spear's edge passed, space didn't shatter, but instead returned directly to the primordial chaotic particle stream! Occasionally, asteroids that were affected were instantly vaporized, leaving not even a speck of dust behind!

Harosa's expression turned extremely serious. Facing the all-out attack of a fully-fledged God-King who was completely insane and willing to risk injury for injury, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd danced like a dragon, its azure blade tracing paths that tore through the laws of nature, deflecting, shattering, or even forcibly neutralizing deadly chaotic spear beams with its annihilating properties.

At the same time, his body was filled with surging divine power of reincarnation, and the crescent-white divine radiance formed layers of protective barriers, while the inky black divine light was like a greedy maw, constantly devouring and transforming some of the incoming power.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

'

The battle between the two had transcended the ordinary clash; it was more like a violent collision of two fundamental laws of the universe.

The chaos of creation and the order of reincarnation clashed violently in this star field. Brilliant light and destructive waves surged like an endless tide, one after another.

Harosa barely managed to hold on thanks to the constant replenishment of the Origin of Reincarnation and the strange advantage of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in close combat.

However, his skill level was ultimately lower than Gu Yuena's. Under the opponent's crazy fighting style, which disregarded her own losses and even tried to damage him by withstanding the annihilation power of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, he inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.

A chaotic spear beam grazed past his shoulder armor, its primordial destructive power instantly tearing through the God King Armor's defenses, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound shrouded in chaotic energy, with golden divine blood scattering across the starry sky.

Harosa groaned, his body retreating rapidly, his face paling slightly.

However, Gu Yuena was not faring much better. In her attempt to severely injure Harosa, she was also struck in the waist by the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd. The azure annihilation power, like a persistent affliction, continuously eroded her dragon god body, attempting to completely erase that part of her existence.

She groaned, her chaotic divine power surging, forcibly suppressing her injuries, her gaze still fixed on Harosa, preparing to pounce again.

But at that moment, her brows furrowed sharply. She felt the strange dragon energy that had been continuously flowing into her body to repair her injuries and replenish her energy suddenly become thin and powerless!

The wound on her waist, the area eroded by the power of annihilation, was healing much more slowly!

She suddenly looked towards the direction of Tianlong Star, only to see that the light of the Ascending Dragon Pillar had dimmed to the extreme, and the cracks on the pillar were increasing, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.

The special dragon energy that permeated the starry sky was eventually exhausted and completely cleared out of this star field, like a rootless duckweed, under the continuous scouring, repulsion, and assimilation of the boundless source of reincarnation!

The vast galaxy surrounding the entire Dragon-Horse Twin Stars is now completely enveloped in the divine radiance of reincarnation, a blend of crescent white and jet black! This is a manifestation of the immense foundation accumulated by a divine realm over countless years!

Without the blessing of the special dragon energy, the "infinite recovery" state of all dragon warriors, including Gu Yuena herself, vanished instantly! Injuries are injuries, and depletion is depletion; they can no longer be replenished quickly!

This is changing!

"Pfft—" Harosa spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. He raised his hand and used the back of his hand, which was stained with his divine blood, to vigorously wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His armor was damaged in several places, and his breathing was somewhat disordered, clearly indicating that he had suffered considerable injuries from Gu Yuena's frenzied attacks.

But his eyes were brighter and colder than ever before!

He looked at Gu Yuena, whose aura had also slightly weakened and whose waist injury had not fully healed, his voice as cold as ice, carrying a hint of mockery and a chilling sense of "it's finally my turn": "Special Dragon Qi—all used up?" He slowly raised the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd, its blade shimmering with eerie light, and pointed it at Gu Yuena.

"Now, isn't it my turn?!"

Just now, he barely managed to withstand Gu Yuena's relentless attack by relying almost entirely on the support of the vast source of the Samsara God Realm, like a small boat that could capsize at any moment in a storm.

If not for the entire divine realm as his backing, he would have long since been exhausted of divine power and torn to shreds. Now, the balance of power has shifted!

Gu Yuena's face was grim. She could sense that although Halosa was injured, he was rapidly recovering under the infusion of the Samsara Origin, and his fighting spirit was growing stronger.

As for herself, without the replenishment of dragon energy, the depletion and injuries from her earlier frenzied attacks began to truly take effect.

"Hmph! Even without the dragon's aura, killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog!" Gu Yuena suppressed her unease, her Dragon God Spear trembled, and she launched another attack! She had to finish this quickly and completely eliminate Harosa before her condition deteriorated further!

However, at this point, Harosa's tactics had already changed!

He no longer engaged in head-on clashes with Gu Yuena, but instead maximized the subtlety of the Law of Reincarnation and the advantage of a protracted battle!

Under his precise control, the Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Artifact no longer sought to cover and suppress, but instead transformed into six wheels of laws that seemed to possess life, sometimes turning into an indestructible shield to block Gu Yuena's fatal attacks.

Sometimes it transforms into invisible shackles, binding and slowing her movements; at other times it unleashes a suction force that devours her soul, disturbing her mind.

The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd is like a venomous fang hidden in the shadows. Every attack is cunning and ruthless, specifically targeting the moment when Gu Yuena's old power is exhausted and new power has not yet been generated, or when she is disturbed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation. With its annihilation properties that ignore defense, it leaves wounds on her body that are difficult to heal quickly.

Harosa himself is like a tireless energy core.

The primordial energy of the starry sky continuously flowed into his body through the "Mysterious Shadow Sword," replenishing his divine power and repairing his injuries.

Although he was injured, his condition was able to remain relatively stable, and even as time went by, nourished by the source of reincarnation, his injuries were slowly improving!

In contrast, Gu Yuena's every full-force attack consumes a large amount of the Dragon God's essence. The injury on her waist cannot be completely healed due to the entanglement of the annihilation power, and it constantly consumes her divine power to suppress it.

The new wounds, though not fatal, were accumulating damage little by little. Most importantly, she had lost the replenishment from that special dragon energy; all the consumption and injury had become a real burden!

She was like a tiger trapped in the mud; though strong, she was bound by invisible ropes, and every struggle took a huge toll, yet she could not deliver a fatal blow to her opponent.

Her opponent, on the other hand, was like the quagmire itself, seemingly passive, yet constantly draining her strength and life.

"The shackles of reincarnation!"

"Annihilation Pierce!"

"Six Paths Soul Suppression!"

Harosa's voice was cold and rhythmic, and he used various powerful divine skills at will. With the help of two super artifacts, he held Gu Yuena back tightly.

Gu Yuena's offensive remained fierce; each swing of the Dragon God Spear carried the power to shatter stars, and the Chaos Divine Light remained dazzling.

But the madness and anger in her eyes were gradually replaced by a subtle anxiety and solemnity.

She discovered that she was unable to defeat this opponent, whose level was lower than hers, in a short period of time! As time passed, her opponent's condition seemed to become more and more stable, while she herself was being weakened continuously!

In this battle between gods and kings, from the initial head-on clash to the later elemental battles, and now to the exhausting struggle, the initiative is quietly shifting to the god-king who controls reincarnation.

Harosa seized the slight pause after Gu Yuena's attack, and the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, like a ghostly claw emerging from the underworld, pierced straight for her open chest!

Gu Yuena hastily parried with her spear, but the annihilation law contained in the halberd blade made her arm go numb, her body staggered backward, and a sharp pain shot through her waist, causing her breathing to become slightly disordered again.

Harosa did not pursue, but stood with his halberd in hand, his body surrounded by a swirling divine light, like a sovereign who controlled everything, coldly watching Gu Yuena, whose aura was no longer at its peak.

"It seems your madness has not brought you victory." His calm voice, however, was more lethal than any taunt at this moment. "Your Majesty, Dragon God, your defeat is inevitable."
