Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

"Contact the Tang Clan for help immediately! Be quick!" Zhuo Shi roared.

"The highest level of distress signal has been sent!" an elderly man in charge of communications immediately responded.

"Activate the highest level of the city's protective soul-guided defense shield! Order all city defense soul-guided cannon positions to fire at full speed! Target—those monsters in the sky! We cannot let them land!" Yali's voice was filled with a desperate resolve.

Om-!

A massive, multicolored energy shield instantly rose from the edge of Shrek City, enveloping the entire city's core area. Simultaneously, the giant soul-guided cannons scattered throughout the city adjusted their angles, their muzzles gleaming with blinding light!

After being invaded by Harrosa last time, Shrek Academy put a lot of effort into fortifying Shrek City, but whether it was all in vain still needs to be tested by Harrosa.

Harosa looked at Shrek City, which was armed with soul tools, and clicked his tongue in amazement: "Throughout the entire Douluo series, this soul tool system is truly the sharpest sword in the hands of mankind."

The Soul Master system, combined with the Soul Guidance system, has indeed reached a glorious stage. It's just a pity that I know nothing about the Soul Guidance system. "Perhaps I can capture some geniuses to arm my God Realm..."

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li gritted her teeth, praying that the true form of the Angel would shine brightly! An even richer life force and holy radiance poured into the prayer domain like a pillar of light, attempting to suppress the undead knight's necromantic aura to the greatest extent possible, while providing blessing and protection to all Shrek warriors.

However, the gray-black death aura surrounding the twelve undead knights seemed to possess a powerful resistance, weakening the purifying effect of the holy light to a chilling degree!

Above, twelve undead knights, like cold war machines, slowly raised their massive bone spears, aiming them at Shrek City below. Their eerie green eye sockets locked onto their targets.

On the ground, the energy of countless soul-guided cannons reached its peak, emitting a piercing buzz.

The air was frozen solid, as if it were about to ignite at any moment!

A great battle erupted instantly!

The twelve quasi-god-level undead knights, like cold war fortresses, swooped down, carrying with them a monstrous aura of death! The massive bone spears tore through the air, accompanied by a piercing shriek!

On Shrek's side, Ya Li, Long Ye Yue, and the unknown demigod elder stood at the forefront, unleashing their strongest power in an attempt to intercept!

Yali's prayer field shone brightly, and the radiance of life and holiness surged toward the undead knights like a tide, attempting to weaken their power.

However, the results were far from what was expected!

The undead knight's gray-black death aura was exceptionally condensed, seemingly possessing powerful resistance. When holy light washed over it, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, barely offsetting some of the death aura's erosion and unable to cause any substantial suppression.

"The Golden Tree... its power is far too weak!" Ya Li felt a bitter taste in her mouth, instantly understanding the root cause. Thirty years ago, during the cataclysm, the Golden Tree's essence was plundered, and now its amplification effect on Shrek Academy was far less than before!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground-based soul-guided cannon positions erupted with a deafening roar! Countless thick beams of energy shot into the sky like a torrential rain, weaving together into a dense network of firepower!

These attacks, powerful enough to severely injure a Super Douluo, struck the Undead Knight's thick bone armor and four-word battle armor. Most of them were deflected or withstood, leaving only a few scorch marks. The few that could penetrate the defense were quickly eroded and neutralized by the dense deathly aura.

The Undead Knight's charge is unstoppable!

A bone spear swept across! A Super Douluo wearing a three-word battle armor tried to block it, but he and his battle armor were instantly smashed away, blood splattering in the sky, his fate unknown!

Bone Horse Tramples! The defenses of a Title Douluo-level expert were as fragile as paper, instantly crushed!

The eerie green breath of the undead surged forth, corroding and freezing everything in its path, even the soul-guided turrets!

The Shrek Academy's powerful warriors were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, retreating step by step! Title Douluo-level experts fell one after another, their screams echoing endlessly. Even with Ya Li, Long Yeyue, and the others joining forces, they could only barely hold off two or three undead knights, and were powerless against the terrifying torrent of twelve.

Long Yeyue's old wounds had not yet healed, and her breathing became increasingly disordered during the fierce battle, with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Ya Li did her best to maintain the Prayer Domain, providing healing and protection for her companions, but the exertion was enormous, and her face grew increasingly pale.

The angel of prayer behind her radiates a gentle yet firm light, like a beacon in this desperate battlefield, full of compassion and indomitable spirit.

High above, Harosa hovered silently in the core of the Underworld's Rebirth Realm, coldly surveying the carnage below. With the power he now wielded, annihilating Shrek Academy, or even any other force on the continent, would be a piece of cake.

But he didn't do that.

"Direct destruction is not the best strategy," Harosa thought to himself. "Shrek Academy is the 'chessboard' I'm most familiar with. Its existence can continuously attract the attention and firepower of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Federation. It's the natural core for uniting people's hearts and minds and fighting against the Abyss and the Holy Spirit Cult in the later stages. If it's destroyed now, those forces will only fall into internal strife or retreat. Who will stand against the Abyss Plane head-on?"

His gaze swept over Yali, who was fighting fiercely below, and the true form of the prayer angel, radiating a strong aura of life, was one of his targets.

"Moreover... the Abyss Saint King..." Haros's eyes narrowed slightly. That Abyss Ruler, who wielded the supreme artifact Heavenly Saint Abyss Split Halberd and possessed the strength of a first-level god, was currently his greatest threat.

A direct confrontation would be futile. He needs time, and he needs Shrek to continue playing its role of "drawing fire" and "gathering strength," creating space for him to develop stealthily.

"Alas, in the end, my strength is still insufficient," Harosa sighed inwardly. If he possessed the power to crush the Abyss Saint King, why would he need to scheme like this? He could simply sweep through them.

The battle below grew increasingly fierce. Shrek's side suffered heavy losses, and their defensive perimeter was constantly being compressed. Yali was bathed in divine light, each wave of the praying angel's power trying to save her comrades' lives, but it was all in vain. She became the most conspicuous presence on the battlefield, and a pillar supporting morale.

That means it's not the Death Knight anymore, otherwise how could a healing-type Soul Master be used as a combatant?

Harosa's gaze was fixed on her, like a hawk eyeing its prey. But he still did not make a move himself.

He is waiting.

Waiting for the Tang Clan members.

Sure enough, not long after, the space outside Shrek City fluctuated violently! Powerful auras pierced the sky like sharp swords, rushing towards them!

The leader, with a vast and sharp aura, was none other than Ling Yunzhi, the sect master of the Tang Sect, a level 99 demigod, a four-word battle armor master, and his martial soul was the Starry Sky Jade Sword!

Behind him followed more than ten titled Douluo powerhouses from the Tang Sect, including many Super Douluo!

"Shrek! Hold on! Tang Clan reinforcements are coming!" Ling Yunzhi's voice boomed like thunder, filled with determination!

A cold smile curled at the corners of Harosa's lips.

"It's finally here."
