Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 285 Tang Wulin Gets Tortured Again

The return of the Crimson Mother instantly reversed the course of the battle.

She stood at the heart of the surging crimson realm, like the sole ruler of this world.

Her dark red hair danced wildly behind her, and the blood-red flames in her eyes burned with a chilling killing intent.

With a slight lift of her left hand, the beautifully curved crimson moon blade silently floated, radiating a chilling aura capable of cutting through space; with a light press of her right hand, the scepter in the distant crimson royal palace resonated with her, drawing upon the vast energy of the entire plane to form an invisible force field that sealed off all directions.

Faced with the pressure of two super artifacts and a half-step god-king, Tang Wulin and Qian Renxue felt unprecedented pressure.

The battle broke out again.

Without any probing, the Crimson Mother unleashed a devastating attack. She knew she had to finish the battle quickly; although she had the advantage of terrain, her opponent possessed two supreme artifacts, and delaying could lead to unforeseen complications.

The crimson moon blade transformed into a blood-red thread, almost invisible to the naked eye, silently slicing towards the Angelic Holy Sword controlled by Qian Renxue.

At the same time, she activated the crimson scepter with her thoughts, and the vast crimson essence, like a boiling ocean, condensed into countless dark red energy tentacles, which wrapped around and devoured Tang Wulin from all directions.

These energy tentacles not only contain powerful physical binding force, but also have a domineering "devouring" characteristic. Once entangled, divine power will be rapidly lost.

Initially, the Crimson Mother did indeed have an absolute advantage.

Tang Wulin was completely unfamiliar with the characteristics of the Crimson Law. Although his Sea God power was vast and mighty, he seemed somewhat helpless when faced with the all-pervasive and devouring Crimson energy.

The azure waves unleashed by Poseidon's trident are often rapidly devoured and decomposed the moment they come into contact with the dark red tentacles, greatly reducing their power.

He could only rely on the sturdiness of the divine artifact and the immense power of his own to passively defend himself, struggling to keep up and appearing quite disheveled.

The Crimson Mother possesses extremely seasoned combat experience, always able to seize the subtle gaps in his attack transitions to launch deadly surprise attacks, leaving him in perilous situations.

Qian Renxue's situation is slightly better, as the laws of order themselves have a certain degree of restraint on chaotic and devouring forces.

The golden light emanating from the Angelic Holy Sword could sever the energy tentacles like a sharp blade, purifying the approaching crimson energy. However, she was also somewhat unaware of certain strange changes in the Crimson Laws. Sometimes, even when the tentacles seemed to be severed, the broken energy would suddenly explode, transforming into even finer spores that adhered to the Holy Sword's aura, continuously draining her divine power.

The crimson mother's moon blade was even more elusive, incredibly fast, and elusive, forcing her to devote a great deal of her attention to dealing with it, making it difficult for her to provide effective support to Tang Wulin.

The Crimson Mother wore a cold smile as her attacks surged like a tidal wave, one after another. She made full use of her home-field advantage, drawing upon the inexhaustible crimson energy around her. Each of her attacks was unrestrained, sparing no expense in expending divine power.

In contrast, Tang Wulin and Qian Renxue had to deplete their divine power reserves with every defense and counterattack, and it was extremely difficult for them to replenish their power effectively from the energy environment firmly controlled by the Crimson Mother. With this disparity in power, their situation became increasingly difficult.

However, Qian Renxue was, after all, someone who had once touched the realm of a God-King, and her vision and comprehension were far from ordinary.

After enduring the initial pressure and carefully observing the Crimson Mother's repeated attacks, she gradually began to understand some of the intricacies of the Crimson Law.

"So that's how it is—it's not pure chaotic devouring, but rather an order of ultimate 'return to the source' and 'transformation' contained within the devouring—only this order is a domineering order centered on plundering all things to nourish itself—"

Qian Renxue gradually gained a clear understanding. She began to adjust her strategy, no longer simply using the power of order to strike and purify head-on, but instead trying to use the laws of order to interfere with and guide the flow of crimson energy.

When the dark red energy tentacles attacked again, the Angelic Holy Sword no longer cut them off directly. Instead, it drew out fine golden runes, precisely slicing into certain key nodes of the energy tentacles like a scalpel.

These golden divine runes do not possess great destructive power, but they contain the meaning of "ordering" and "stabilizing".

The energy tentacles, invaded by the divine runes, experienced a slight disruption in the originally orderly devouring laws within them. The energy's concentration decreased, and it even briefly lost control and dissipated.

With the pressure on Tang Wulin greatly reduced, he immediately seized the opportunity and unleashed the "Unpredictable Storm" control technique from the Trident of Poseidon. The azure halo spread out, making the unstable energy tentacles even more chaotic and slowing down their attack.

The Crimson Mother frowned slightly, noticing the change in Qian Renxue's tactics. "I underestimated your divine soul."

She immediately changed her strategy, and the attacks of the Crimson Moonblade became even more fierce and unpredictable. At the same time, the energy drawn by the Crimson Scepter no longer pursued quantity, but became more condensed, attempting to break through the interference of the laws of order with absolute quality.

But once Qian Renxue grasped the key, she displayed astonishing combat talent. The laws of order seemed to come alive in her hands, sometimes transforming into an indestructible barrier, sometimes into an invisible and intangible shackle, and sometimes into a catalyst that guided the clash of energies.

With her peak first-level god power and her profound understanding and application of the laws, she actually managed to unleash a formidable fighting force approaching the level of a god-king!

She could even distract herself from directing Tang Wulin: "Attack her left flank! There's a slight delay in the energy flow there!"

"Watch the trajectory of the crescent blade; it will appear behind and to your right in three breaths!"

Under Qian Renxue's precise command and the powerful interference of the Law of Order, Tang Wulin gradually stabilized his position, and the power of the Trident of the Sea God began to be truly displayed.

With powerful divine skills such as "White Clouds for a Thousand Years" and "Empty Journey for a Thousand Years" being used one after another, the azure divine power waves and the golden light of order worked together to turn the defense into offense, forcing the Crimson Mother to be somewhat flustered. The elusive Crimson Moon Blade was also tightly entangled by the Angelic Holy Sword, making it difficult to exert its miraculous effect.

The Crimson Mother's face darkened as she realized she was being suppressed on her home turf by two opponents weaker than herself!

If Qian Renxue hadn't been limited by some reason, with her divine power clearly insufficient and her attacks unable to be sustained, she probably would have been in real trouble.

"Hmph! I'll see how long you, this rootless duckweed, can hold out!" The Crimson Mother hardened her heart, completely abandoning the idea of ​​a quick victory, and instead adopted the safest and most shameless tactic—a war of attrition.

She no longer sought a fatal blow, but instead, relying on the near-infinite energy of the Crimson Domain, she made her attacks resemble a gentle drizzle, endless and continuous.

The crimson energy manifested in various forms, sometimes surging like a raging torrent, sometimes coiling like fine threads, and sometimes corroding like a poisonous fog. She manipulated the energy as much as possible to avoid being guided and clashed by Qian Renxue's laws of order, and she also guarded against any opportunity for Tang Wulin to absorb even a trace of crimson energy to replenish himself.

Time passes little by little.

The tide of battle has once again turned in favor of Crimson Mother.

The divine consciousness that Qian Renxue possessed on the Angelic Holy Sword dimmed at a visible speed.

Each time she activated the laws of order to fight against the crimson origin, it was an enormous burden on her remnant soul. She began to feel waves of weakness and stinging pain in her consciousness, signs of overexertion.

Tang Wulin's situation was equally dire. His Sea God power had been greatly depleted during the sustained high-intensity battle and, without replenishment, was now almost exhausted.

The arm wielding the trident of Poseidon became heavy, and his breathing became rapid. Several wounds appeared on his body caused by the aftershocks of the crimson moon blade, and golden divine blood slowly seeped out, only to be quickly eroded and devoured by the surrounding crimson energy.

A chill ran through both of them. They had thought that with their two super artifacts, they could at least hold their own against a half-step God King, if not easily, or even win.

Unexpectedly, the Crimson Mother not only possessed two super artifacts with complementary attributes, but also had such rich combat experience and made the most of her home-field advantage, displaying terrifying patience.

"I miscalculated—" Qian Renxue's divine sense conveyed a trace of weariness and gravity, "If this continues, my divine sense will eventually be exhausted and dissipate. And you too—"

Tang Wulin gritted his teeth and persevered. The Trident of the Sea God once again unleashed an energy shockwave, but he himself was thrown back, causing his blood and qi to surge. He looked at the Crimson Mother in the distance, who was calm and composed and whose energy seemed inexhaustible. He also felt his own nearly depleted divine source and Qian Renxue's increasingly weak aura. His heart sank slowly.

This is a huge problem. At this rate, it seems only a matter of time before his divine power is extinguished by the Crimson Mother and he ultimately perishes.

And Qian Renxue's divine consciousness, which was both a teacher and a friend to him, will probably completely dissipate in this dark red alien realm.
