Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

He directly stated the quantity and purpose, completely blocking any room for Di Tian to bargain, and also exposing the true nature of the other party's act—this gold of living beings is to exchange for the safety of your core circle's top combat forces.

Di Tian's expression of grief and distress froze instantly. The other party not only saw through his thoughts but also offered a price he couldn't refuse.

He remained silent for a few seconds, a flicker of humiliation and helplessness flashing deep within his golden eyes, but it ultimately transformed into resolve. He nodded heavily, as if making an incredibly difficult decision:

"Alright! Please wait here for a moment!"

After speaking, Di Tian's figure flickered and disappeared into the space once again.

Harosa remained calm, hovering quietly in the air. He knew that Di Tian wouldn't dare to play any tricks unless he wanted to sacrifice the entire core group's top combat power.

Not long after, Di Tian reappeared. In his hands he held a box about half a person's height, made entirely of some kind of warm, smooth jade. The surface of the box was engraved with complex life runes, emitting a soft halo, clearly intended to seal the energy fluctuations of the items inside.

Di Tian pushed the jade box toward Harosa, his voice low and deep: "Three cubic meters of living gold are contained within this box. This is the essence of life accumulated by my clan over countless years. I hope you... will use it with caution."

Harosa raised his hand, and the jade box landed steadily in front of him. He didn't open it immediately to check; he merely scanned it with his divine sense and perceived that the box's interior space was cleverly divided, containing stacks of strange metals of varying sizes, pure emerald green in color, radiating an intensely rich life force and metallic luster. The purity and stability of that life energy far exceeded his expectations.

"I'll accept the gift." Harosa waved his hand, putting the jade box into his storage space. He gave Di Tian a deep look, but didn't say another word.

With a flash of gray-black light, Harosa's figure vanished from the spot, as if he had never been there.

Only Di Tian remained, standing alone high in the sky, gazing in the direction where Harosa had disappeared. Emotions surged in his golden eyes, finally settling into a heavy sigh, "Humans are indeed blessed by nature..."

The figure slowly descended back into the Lake of Life below.

Halosa left the core area of ​​the Star Dou and reappeared in the Realm of Rebirth, beside Yali.

He was in a good mood, believing he had gotten a good deal. Although the process had been somewhat bumpy, he had achieved his goal. With a thought, the box made of warm, smooth jade appeared before him.

The box was opened, and an intensely rich, almost suffocating, life force instantly filled the air, illuminating the gray area with a vibrant green light.

Inside, neatly stacked were emerald green metal blocks of varying sizes—together, they amounted to three cubic meters of living gold! Each block was crystal clear, radiating pure and stable fluctuations of life energy, with a warm and restrained metallic luster.

"A solid three cubic meters..." Harosa nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the full box of Living Gold. Di Tian hadn't tried to cheat him; he had given the actual volume.

Although theoretically he only needs a "shell" that can contain the fragments of the life essence, even if it's hollow, who would complain about having too many top-tier materials? Naturally, the more the better, the stronger the buffering effect, the safer Yali will be, and the more secure the plan will be.

He put away the jade box and his gaze fell on the unconscious Yali. The plan was clear: he would create a micro-space within Yali's body. This space would be used to contain the fragments of life essence encased in the Gold of Life.

This is like collecting fragments of the source of destruction. The fragments of the source of destruction were enveloped (buffered) by the seawater of the Sea of ​​Destruction, and then suppressed beneath the hill of undead skeleton powder.

Now, the Gold of Life is equivalent to "Destructive Seawater," serving to envelop and buffer the fragments of the life essence. The micro-space that will soon be opened within Yali's body is equivalent to "Undying Skull Powder Hills," serving as the final "container."

For Harosa, who has mastered the laws of space and possesses god-like power, the principle of creating a micro-space is not complicated.

This is similar to when a Soul Master condenses a Soul Core within their body, a tiny spatial node naturally forms in their dantian or sea of ​​consciousness to contain and transform Soul Power. However, the space where the Soul Core forms is a result of the natural condensation of Soul Power, making it relatively fragile and primarily used for energy circulation, gradually forming the Soul Core itself over time.

What Harosa had to do was to proactively and precisely "open up" and "stabilize" a more resilient and independent small space within Yali's body, in the core area of ​​life energy near her heart, using his powerful divine sense and the power of the origin of rebirth.

This space needs to be stable enough to withstand the energy pressure from the living gold and the fragments of the origin of life.

He extended his finger, and a wisp of pure, grayish-white rebirth essence gathered at its tip, like the most precise scalpel. His divine sense, like the highest magnification microscope, clearly mapped the meridians, blood vessels, and organ structures within Ya Li's body onto his mind.

"Let's begin." Harosa's eyes were focused as the power of rebirth at his fingertips probed into Ari's body.

Harosa's divine sense swept across Yali's body and clearly perceived two powerful and stable energy cores—her life soul core and faith soul core.

Harosa also knew something about the Faith Soul Core. Yali's Prayer Angel Martial Soul's true source of power was the power of faith.

She was kind-hearted by nature and came from a poor family. After becoming a Soul Master, she chose to stay in the slums to help others. For every person she saved, she received a pure sense of gratitude and faith. These powers of faith nourished her Martial Soul without her knowledge, and she only truly realized this when she reached the Soul King level.

The most legendary event was the great plague fifty years ago. At that time, Ya Li, who was still a Soul Saint, traveled to fourteen provinces in fifteen days to save people, sacrificing her faith and life force. In the end, the plague subsided, but she was on the verge of death due to exhaustion of her life force. When she was sent back to Shrek Academy, she was unconscious and emaciated.

However, the spontaneous and massive power of faith from the plague survivors pulled her back from the brink of death. She remained in a coma for a year, and when she awoke, she had leaped directly from Soul Saint to Title Douluo! This was truly a miracle in the history of cultivation on the Douluo Continent.

"The path of faith..." A sigh crossed Harosa's mind. If Yali had been born in an era when the divine realm still existed, with this pure and vast accumulation of faith, she might have truly been able to forge a path to godhood through faith. Unfortunately, in this era where the divine realm has been severed, this path is equally difficult to traverse.

However, the path of faith was profound and unpredictable, not his forte. Harosa quickly regained his composure and stopped focusing on Yali's soul core. He concentrated on the task at hand—the tiny space that had been carved out beside Yali's heart.

This space had been initially stabilized, its framework constructed from his primordial power of rebirth, incorporating a trace of the characteristics of spatial laws. Harosa carefully took a small piece of living gold from the jade box. This emerald-green metal exuded a gentle yet powerful life force.

He enveloped the piece of living gold with his divine sense and slowly sent it into Yali's body, guiding it into the newly opened micro-space.

hum...

As soon as the Living Gold entered the micro-space, its immense life energy immediately resonated with the micro-space's fundamental framework of rebirth. The gray-white spatial framework seemed to be infused with vitality, becoming more resilient and stable, while simultaneously beginning to actively absorb and adapt to the life aura emanating from the Living Gold. The concentration of life energy within the micro-space rapidly increased, forming a warm, vibrant, and independent micro-environment.

Harosa sensed it carefully. The life-gold was very "docile" within the micro-space, causing no repulsion or energy surge. The two were slowly and steadily merging and adapting. Yali's body also showed no adverse reactions; on the contrary, because of this rich life energy, her pale complexion seemed to have regained a touch of rosiness.

"Very good, the first step of the buffer layer has been successfully completed." Harosa breathed a sigh of relief. The initial fusion of the Life Gold and the microspace went smoothly, laying the foundation for the next step of accommodating the fragments of the origin of life.

Having done all this, Harosa didn't linger any longer. He checked Yali's condition one last time to make sure it was stable, then vanished from the Realm of Rebirth in a flash.
