Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 283 Tang Wulin Steals the Crimson Domain

For Harosa, this unexpected encounter turned into an intriguing observational experiment. He remained hidden behind the scenes, like an observer of fate, waiting for the plot to unfold naturally.

Just as Tang Wulin was battling the endless stream of crimson creatures in the crimson energy sea, and Harosa was observing the situation from the shadows, far away in the Dragon Horse Galaxy, the Crimson Mother, who had just led her elite troops through the wormhole and was preparing to make a big splash in search of the "weak God King," received an urgent message from behind, transmitted across vast space!

The content of the message caused the usually calm and domineering Crimson Overlord to change color instantly!

"Your Majesty! Urgent military intelligence! The Crimson Realm has been attacked! A powerful external enemy has invaded the core area and is frantically devouring and eroding our Crimson Essence! The garrison is fighting desperately, but the enemy is incredibly strong, and their energy is draining at an extremely rapid rate! We request Your Majesty's immediate return to reinforce them!!"

A flicker of disbelief first flashed in her deep, blood-red eyes, which were then replaced by overwhelming rage!

"What?!" An extremely terrifying pressure from a half-step God-King erupted uncontrollably from her body, compressing the surrounding space and slightly distorting it. The crimson elites following behind her trembled involuntarily and prostrated themselves on the ground.

The Crimson Mother's chest heaved violently, her beautiful face contorted with extreme rage.

She, the Crimson Mother, has always been the one to covet and devour the primal energy of other planes and other powerful beings. Who would have thought that someone would be so audacious as to set their sights on the Crimson Domain, which she has cultivated for countless years and regards as a forbidden and fundamental territory?!

This is practically snatching food from a tiger's mouth; it's a challenge to her inviolable authority!

"Outrageous!!" She let out a fierce roar, her voice filled with boundless killing intent and rage. "No matter who you are, I, the Emperor, will tear your soul apart and refine it, so that you will suffer the torment of the Crimson Heart-Eating Torment for eternity!"

Her regard for crimson energy surpassed everything else. It was the source of her power, the cornerstone of her ambition, and the hope for her future ascension to the true realm of gods! She would not allow anything outside to taint it even slightly!

At this moment, she instantly forgot all about the "weak God King" and the mysteries of the Dragon Horse Galaxy.

Her stronghold had been raided, her foundation shaken – this was absolutely intolerable! She had to return immediately and crush that reckless intruder!

"All troops, heed my command!" The Crimson Mother's icy gaze swept over her elite forces, her voice as cold as ice. "Abandon your current objective and immediately return to the capital with me!"

Without any hesitation, she transformed into a dark red rainbow that tore through the starry sky, and with an even faster speed than when she came, she suddenly changed direction and shot towards the wormhole she had come from!

The massive Crimson Legion dared not slacken in the slightest and hurriedly followed, surging back into the wormhole like a dark red torrent of steel.

Despite the Crimson Mother's formidable strength and incredible speed, traversing such a distant wormhole and returning at full speed to the core of the Crimson Realm would still require a considerable amount of time.

This period of time was enough for many things to happen within the Crimson Royal Palace.

At the core of the Crimson Realm, on the edge of an energy-rich zone.

Tang Wulin was still locked in a fierce battle with the seemingly endless crimson creatures. Although he couldn't completely annihilate them, the sustained high-intensity combat and the frenzied absorption of surrounding crimson energy by the Trident of Poseidon greatly replenished his energy reserves.

The divine power, which had been somewhat unstable due to three thousand years of wandering, has now been completely restored to a saturated state. In fact, due to absorbing a large amount of pure crimson energy (although filtered and transformed by the power of the sea god), it has even shown a slight improvement.

He wielded the trident with increasing ease and fluidity, the azure divine power surging forth, constantly repelling and scattering the waves of crimson creatures that rushed towards him.

It was so incredibly satisfying! He had been so repressed for the past three thousand years.

The exhilarating slaughter seemed to transport him back to the days when he was the golden dragon prodigy, surrounded by admirers.

While he was drawing fire, Qian Renxue's Angelic Holy Sword, like a slippery golden fish, successfully broke through the layers of restrictions and energy barriers surrounding the Crimson Palace by skillfully applying the laws of order and extremely concealing energy fluctuations. It silently infiltrated the palace, which symbolized the core of the highest power and strength in the Crimson Realm.

Upon entering the royal palace, the sight before her eyes stunned Qian Renxue.

The entire palace was spacious and magnificent, constructed from an unknown dark red crystal. The walls, dome, and pillars were covered with a thick, viscous dark red light, like blood, emanating a terrifyingly powerful energy pressure and a chilling, bone-deep devouring intent.

Devouring, and more devouring.

The light here does not come from the outside, but rather from the self-illuminating deep red energy that is omnipresent in the hall, immersing the entire space in a strange and oppressive dark red tone.

In this dark red world, the golden light emanating from the angelic holy sword, representing order, holiness, and light, appears particularly dazzling and "out of place," like a bright pearl thrown into an inkwell, attracting extraordinary attention.

Qian Renxue's divine sense was highly concentrated, manifesting a miniature yet clear golden phantom on the Angelic Holy Sword. She warily scanned the hall, but her gaze was quickly drawn to the scene at the very center of the royal palace.

There was not a throne, but a more peculiar existence—a slowly rotating, complex three-dimensional structure composed of countless dark red divine runes and materialized energy.

It is like a living, beating, giant heart, or an incredibly precise model of the universe, radiating the purest and most ancient deep red primordial aura!

Without a doubt, this is the energy center of the entire Crimson Realm, the core hub where all Crimson energy converges, flows, and is controlled!

An entity, like the central hub of the divine realm, oversees the operation of the Crimson Domain.

Qian Renxue felt a surge of excitement. If she could analyze or even control this central hub, she might find the key to completely dismantling the Crimson Domain or to harness its immense energy for her own use!

She wielded the Angelic Sword, transforming it into a golden thread that shot towards the central point without hesitation!

However, just as she was about to touch the slowly rotating energy center, a sudden change occurred!

"Buzz—!"

A dark red light barrier suddenly appeared, blocking the path of the Angelic Holy Sword! The light barrier was not a pure energy barrier; at its core was a floating scepter!

This scepter has an ancient and elegant design, and its entire body is a deep dark red, as if it were carved from the finest deep red divine crystal.

The staff is long and slender, inscribed with countless fine and mysterious characters, as if recording the ancient history and laws of the Crimson Realm.

At the top of the scepter is an oval-shaped, blood-red gemstone, about the size of a human head!

The gemstone's interior was not static, but rather a blood-like aura slowly flowed and surged, emanating terrifying energy fluctuations that sent shivers down one's spine and a transcendent aura that surpassed all things!

"A supreme artifact?!" Qian Renxue's illusory divine consciousness trembled slightly, revealing obvious astonishment. "A half-step God-King can actually possess a complete supreme artifact that is so perfectly aligned with her own laws?! The foundation of this Crimson Domain is truly so profound?!"

Logically speaking, the Angelic Holy Sword is itself a super artifact, guided by her divine consciousness. It shouldn't be easily stopped when facing a super artifact that is unowned (without the Crimson Mother).

But the crimson scepter before them was different. It seemed to form a perfect whole with the entire Crimson Royal Palace and even the energy center below. Its power was continuously drawn from the source of the Crimson Domain, unmoving as a mountain, firmly guarding the core of the center.

The Angelic Holy Sword attempted to penetrate and analyze the barrier with its pure divine power of order, but the dark red light curtain and the crimson scepter were perfectly integrated. Although the power of order could cause ripples in the light curtain, it was difficult to truly break through.

A resolute glint flashed in Qian Renxue's golden eyes. "It seems the only option is to use force to temporarily weaken it and create a sliver of opportunity!"

Without further hesitation, she unleashed the full power of the divine consciousness attached to the Angelic Sword! The originally gentle and holy golden light instantly became dazzling and sharp, like a spear of judgment!

"Order Judgment - Barrier Breaker!"

The Angelic Holy Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, its blade gleaming with golden light. It gathered all the peak divine power of a first-level god that Qian Renxue could muster at this moment, transforming it into a golden beam of light that was condensed to the extreme and contained absolute order and the will to destroy. It no longer tried to bypass it, but instead ruthlessly and accurately struck the dark red scepter!

"clang!!!!!"

A deafening roar, not from the clash of metal, but from the violent collision of laws and energy, suddenly exploded within the Crimson Palace!

The golden and dark red light were like two colliding galaxies, frantically eroding and annihilating each other!

The deep red scepter, which was originally as steady as Mount Tai, finally trembled violently under this fierce strike that concentrated the essence of Qian Renxue's life cultivation. The blood-red gem at the top of the scepter flickered sharply, and even the protective light barrier showed obvious distortion and a slight crack!

The scepter was violently shaken off its original position by this immense force. Although it quickly tried to return to its original position with the support of the crimson origin, it was precisely caught by Qian Renxue in that split second!

With a flash of golden light, the Angelic Holy Sword sent forth a golden energy probe, entirely formed from Qian Renxue's divine sense, through the brief opening like lightning, swiftly penetrating the slowly rotating core of the Crimson Domain!

He reached out and grabbed a fist-sized, pure, deep red essence, containing unimaginably pure energy, like a liquid ruby!

The moment this primordial energy detached from the central core, the energy fluctuations it emitted caused the entire Angelic Holy Sword to emit a pleasant, soft hum.

However, this act of "stealing" was like stabbing a sleeping behemoth in the heart!

"Boom—!!!"

The entire Crimson Royal Palace, no, the core energy-rich area of ​​the entire Crimson Domain, shook violently and roared due to the loss of this source!

As if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking, the stable energy structure was briefly disrupted, and the crimson creatures fighting Tang Wulin on the outside froze and panicked for a moment!

At this moment, the Crimson Mother, who was traveling at full speed through the starry sky and rushing back to the Crimson Realm, suddenly changed her expression!

Her connection with the Crimson Realm's origin was so close that the moment her central nervous system was triggered and her origin was stolen, it felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. The intense pain and rage instantly overwhelmed her reason!

"How dare you!! You actually dared to touch my central source of power! I will tear you to pieces!!!"

She roared, and the dark red light around her surged once more. Her speed increased even more in her rage, transforming into a streak of vengeful blood light that pierced through the starry sea, charging recklessly toward her lair.

She wants to completely wipe that audacious invader, along with the forces behind him, from this universe!

Even the Douluo God Realm, which she once feared and avoided.
