Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

"This seawater is called the Sea of ​​Destruction," Harosa explained calmly, pointing to the chilling black surface of the water. "Its characteristic is to devour, to devour all energy, even matter itself."

Yuan Feng's heart pounded wildly. He had never heard of such domineering water before!

Harosa said no more, raising his hand to summon the ancient, grey-black longsword—Netherworld Lament—into his grasp. The sword radiated the powerful aura of a demigod artifact, but at this moment, Harosa needed it to advance further.

"What I want you to do," Harosa said, his gaze sharp as he looked at Yuan Feng, "is to research how to integrate the devouring properties of the Sea of ​​Destruction's waters into my Netherworld Chant, helping it to completely transform into a true divine artifact!"

Yuan Feng's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, almost thinking he had misheard! To incorporate the properties of such terrifying seawater into a semi-divine artifact? This was simply a fantasy! The danger and difficulty involved far exceeded any Heavenly Forging he had ever undertaken!

"Ha... Mr. Ha... this..." Yuan Feng's voice trembled. "This destructive seawater's properties are too domineering. Direct contact... I'm afraid it would even instantly devour my forging hammer! Let alone stably integrating its properties into a divine artifact... This... this is almost impossible!"

Yuan Feng had no ideas.

Harosa seemed to have anticipated his reaction, remaining unfazed. He casually tossed several spatial soul tools he had looted from Ling Yunzhi and the Tang Sect Master to Yuan Feng: "Open them and take a look."

Yuan Feng instinctively took it and probed it with his divine sense. The next moment, he gasped! The sheer quantity and quality of the mountains of top-grade rare metals and precious ores shimmering with strange light inside far exceeded everything he had ever seen in his entire life! These were all top-tier divine materials!

I, the son of a master craftsman, am being flaunted with wealth? Could this be a case of someone stealing Shrek's secret?

"There are plenty of materials, feel free to try." Harosa's voice carried an undeniable confidence. "As for your safety concerns..." He paused, and an invisible force instantly enveloped Yuan Feng and the area in front of him.

Yuan Feng immediately felt that the surrounding space seemed to solidify, forming an incredibly tough, invisible barrier. What reassured him even more was that a pure and gentle power, carrying the essence of "rebirth," surrounded him, like the most solid shield.

At the same time, a vast power of divine consciousness quietly connected with him, as if lighting a guiding lamp in his mind, allowing him to more clearly perceive the subtle fluctuations in the violent devouring characteristics of the destructive seawater.

"I will protect you and assist you in sensing and guiding that devouring power. Just go for it and focus on the fusion process." Harosa's voice was calm and powerful, giving Yuan Feng tremendous confidence.

"Think it through carefully, don't panic. You've been forging iron for decades, you're a professional."

Looking at the top-quality materials within easy reach, and feeling the reassuring and powerful protection and sensory enhancements around him, Yuan Feng's fear was replaced by intense excitement and a desire for challenge!

This is a chance to forge a divine artifact! With Mr. Ha as our true god protector, what is there to fear?

"Yes, Mr. Ha! I understand!" Yuan Feng's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he nodded heavily. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, his gaze becoming incredibly focused.

After calming down, Yuan Feng began to ponder the matter, and it took him a long time to come up with an idea.

He first took out a piece of extremely tough, top-grade metal called "Starfall Divine Iron," which has excellent energy conductivity, as the base for the experiment.

Guided by Harosa's divine sense, he carefully separated an extremely fine wisp of destructive seawater, as if controlling a venomous snake. The moment the seawater touched the meteorite iron, the hard metal surface immediately emitted a hissing sound, being eroded and devoured at a visible speed!

Yuan Feng's heart tightened, but he dared not be distracted. He immediately circulated his soul power, combined with the wisp of pure "Origin of Rebirth" power that Harosa had shared with him, and tried to "envelop" and "soothe" this corrosive and devouring characteristic, and guide it to be engraved inside the metal according to a specific soul guidance circuit.

The Sea of ​​Destruction's waters devoured the meteorite divine iron, requiring Harosa's divine consciousness to envelop it.

At the same time, the forging hammer in his hand fell like a phantom, each strike precise and imbued with powerful soul force and a deep understanding of the material's structure, attempting to forcefully "hammer" the violent devouring properties deep into the metal's molecular structure!

This is an extremely dangerous and delicate process. The destructive, devouring nature of the seawater is incredibly violent; the slightest mistake could backfire, consuming Yuan Feng's spiritual and soul power along with it. Failure is the norm.

One after another, priceless top-tier materials were destroyed in Yuan Feng's hands, turning into ashes or being completely swallowed by the sea. Each failure was accompanied by a violent backlash from the destructive properties of the seawater, but these were all firmly blocked by the invisible barrier set up by Harosa and the power of the rebirth source surrounding Yuan Feng, without harming him in the slightest.

Time slipped away with each attempt. Yuan Feng was completely absorbed, oblivious to the sweat soaking his clothes. With the help of Harosa's powerful divine sense, he gradually grasped a glimpse of the method.

He discovered that the destructive force of the seawater was not mindless destruction, but rather a kind of "greedy" instinct, a rule that reduces everything to nothingness.

To integrate it, you can't resist it head-on; you need to understand its "greedy" nature and guide and "tame" it with more powerful rules!

He attempted to use Harosa's "Origin of Rebirth" as a glue and guide. The concept of "death" and "life" contained in the Origin of Rebirth seems to have an innate ability to encompass and control the pure "death" and "end" of "devouring".

Finally, in a crucial attempt, as Yuan Feng once again guided a wisp of destructive seawater into an alloy blank that fused multiple top-tier metals and void crystals, he held his breath and focused all his attention on it.

Harosa's primordial power of rebirth, like a gentle yet resilient thread, subtly entwines and guides that destructive, devouring nature.

Yuan Feng's forging hammer fell with a peculiar rhythm, no longer a brute force strike, but more like a "smoothing" and "weaving." The gray-black origin of life and the pitch-black power of destruction and devouring began to strangely merge and permeate under the hammer!

Om-!

The once unremarkable metal blank suddenly burst forth with a deep, dark light! A powerful yet restrained suction force emanated from it, no longer the indiscriminate, violent devouring force of the seawater, but rather a controlled, black hole-like depth!

The texture of the metal itself has also undergone a dramatic change, becoming more restrained and solid, as if it contains the potential to devour all energy!

"It's done!" Yuan Feng exclaimed excitedly, almost jumping up.

A glint of light flashed in Harosa's eyes. He immediately unleashed the Netherworld Aria he had prepared beforehand into the dark light!

boom!

The dark light instantly enveloped the Netherworld Chant! The entire Realm of Rebirth seemed to tremble slightly! Countless gray-white primordial energies surged from all directions, pouring into the dark light. The Netherworld Chant sword trembled violently, emitting a clear and long sword cry, as if undergoing its final transformation!

The dark light lasted for about fifteen minutes before slowly receding and dissipating.

A brand new longsword hovered in the air.
