Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 316 Yali's Prayer - Substitute Death

The Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms, which gathers the five fundamental laws of the Douluo God Realm and exudes the ultimate will of judgment, hangs in the starry sky, as if it has become the sole focus of the universe.

Its goal, from beginning to end, has always been the same: Harosa!

Before the sword had even fully fallen, an invisible yet absolutely powerful binding force had already descended!

This force was not simply an energy suppression, but rather acted directly on the very foundation of existence, locking down Harosa's vital energy.

His soul and even his connection with the law of reincarnation!

It was as if the remaining will of the entire Douluo God Realm had transformed into invisible shackles at this moment, pinning him firmly to the spot, with no way to avoid it or escape it!

Harosa's expression changed drastically! He tried to mobilize the power of Samsara, tear through space, and even summon the phantom of the Six Paths of Samsara to fight back, but found that he was as if he had sunk into the thickest chaotic quagmire, and all his power became extremely obscure and slow!

The will of that sword of judgment carried a sense of Xi Jinping's "rule obliteration," forcibly stripping him of all possibilities of evasion!

"I can't move?!" Disbelief flashed in Harosa's eyes. He clearly felt the terrifying power contained within the sword, enough to annihilate a dragon god, completely locking onto him. "I can only—tough it out!"

He stopped making futile struggles, and all his reincarnation power was frantically gathered and compressed at an unprecedented speed, forming one deep reincarnation barrier after another in front of him, as if containing countless scenes of the birth and death of worlds!

The phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was so solidified that it stood like the most loyal shield at the forefront!

At this moment, the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms, which embodies all of Tang San's hatred, the burning essence of raging flames and Ji Dong, and the last will of the Douluo God Realm, finally moved.

It made no earth-shattering noise, no piercing roar that tore through the starry sky; it simply and "ordinarily" descended slowly toward where Harosa was.

However, this seemingly slow and uneventful "fall" caused the entire shattered Douluo God Realm to lose its color!

It was as if all light, all sound, and all energy were devoured by this sword! Only that trajectory, representing the final judgment, remained in the starry sky, slowly advancing, and wherever it passed, all things returned to annihilation, and the laws of nature collapsed!

Being at the very heart of the sword's edge, Harosa felt the terror most acutely!

The layers of reincarnation barriers he erected melted away as quickly as ice and snow under the sun before the trajectory of judgment!

The phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation let out a mournful cry of unbearable burden, and countless cracks appeared on its surface!

"This is bad!" Alarm bells rang in Harosa's mind as an unprecedented shadow of death instantly enveloped him. "I can't take this!!"

He clearly realized that this sword, which gathered the essence of the five great god-kings and had once slain the dragon god, was more powerful than he could defend against at this moment!

Meanwhile, in the distance, Yali, who was locked in a stalemate with the barrier between good and evil, suddenly felt a sharp, inexplicable clench in her heart.

A sense of panic, originating from the depths of her soul and feeling as if she were about to lose the most important thing, instantly gripped her!

She abruptly turned her head to look in Harosa's direction, her beautiful face drained of all color!

"Husband!" she cried out in alarm, disregarding the barrier she was maintaining and wanting to rush over at all costs.

Just as the sword of judgment was about to completely annihilate Harosa, and even the Samsara Barrier and the Six Paths of Samsara phantoms were beginning to crumble inch by inch, a sudden change occurred at the level of laws that no one could perceive.

A faint, yet pure, emerald-green light, imbued with the purest prayer and will to sacrifice, moved at a speed beyond comprehension, ignoring the spatial and judicial sword's blockade, and quietly merged into Harosa's crumbling defensive core.

A prayer, a prayer from Yali.

The next moment, "BOOM!!!!!!!!!!"

The light of the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms finally erupted completely, engulfing Harosa's figure entirely! The destructive energy shock spread in a ring, turning everything nearby into the most basic particles!

"Hahaha!!!" Tang San's maniacal laughter, filled with madness, exhilaration, and boundless relief, echoed through the energy storm, carrying the ecstatic madness of revenge. "Dead! Finally dead! Harosa! You're finally dead!! Dad! Mom! Wu Lin! I've avenged you! Hahaha!!"

He appeared mad, his white hair dancing wildly in the aftershocks of energy, as if the hatred and pain accumulated over ten thousand years were being released in this moment.

However, his laughter did not last long.

A cold, slightly weak, yet still imbued with supreme authority voice, like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, instantly extinguished all his ecstasy: "Noisy."

Those two simple words brought Tang San's laughter to an abrupt halt, like a rooster being choked!

He whirled his head, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints in utter shock, his face contorted with a look of utter disbelief: "No—impossible!! Hit head-on by the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms—how could you still be alive?!"

Where Yali had been standing, Halosa's figure quietly appeared.

His breathing was a little erratic, and his face was a little pale, but he was standing there unharmed!

In his arms, he was holding Yali, who was already unconscious, her face as pale as paper, and her breath extremely weak!

She seemed to have exhausted all her life and divine power, and fell into the deepest slumber.

At the very center of the original explosion of the Sword of Judgment, hovered a figure identical to Yali's in appearance, yet composed entirely of pure life and the light of prayer—Yali's Prayer Angel!

At this moment, however, the angel of prayer was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, its light dimmed, like shattered glass.

At the last moment, it was Yali who used her most primal and forbidden ability as a prayer angel to die in her place!

At the cost of the shattering of her own Prayer Angel, she forcibly distorted part of the Judgment Law, transferring the fatal blow that should have fallen on Harossa to her own Prayer Angel avatar!

That's how Harosa's life was saved!

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the suspended phantom of the praying angel finally let out a faint, wistful sigh before completely disintegrating into countless shimmering green specks of light that vanished into the starry sky.

"Sigh~"

Harosa looked down at the barely breathing Yali in his arms, and for the first time, incredibly complex emotions welled up in his deep, soul-searching eyes—heartache, lingering fear, and an overwhelming rage that had been suppressed to the extreme and was about to erupt!

He gently handed Yali to the Tiger King Blue Butterfly and the Elf Queen Viya who had rushed over, his voice low and hoarse, yet carrying an undeniable command: "Little Butterfly, Viya, take good care of your mistress."

The blue butterfly transformed into a little girl with pigtails and red-rimmed eyes, and together with Viya, carefully took Yali and protected her with its gentlest divine power.

After doing all this, Harosa slowly straightened up.

He took a step forward, as if teleporting, and appeared in front of the Douluo Six God Kings (Tang San, Lie Yan, Ji Dong, Zhou Weiqing and Nian Rongbing who rushed over after hearing the commotion, and Dai Yuhao who was barely holding on) who were exhausted by the power of the Judgment Sword.

There was no earth-shattering burst of power, but a terrifying pressure, far colder and deeper than the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms, seemingly originating from the ultimate destiny of the universe, spread out like an invisible tide!

Tang San and the others instantly felt their bodies stiffen, as if even their souls had been frozen!

To their horror, they discovered that their connection with divine power had been completely severed, making even moving a finger incredibly difficult!

It was as if their lives were no longer in their own hands, but were completely controlled by the man before them who had survived the sword of judgment!

The problem lies in the soul!

Harosa's gaze, as cold as unyielding ice, slowly swept over Tang San's face, filled with resentment and fear. His voice was calm, yet it seemed to contain a final declaration that would drag all things into the cycle of reincarnation: "I am not dead—"

"Now, it's your turn to die."
