Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Harosa's divine sense, like the most intricate tentacles, remained attached to the surface of the enormous gray-white bone powder sphere, carefully sensing the energy fluctuations within.

As time passed, at a certain point, he keenly sensed that the violent, chaotic, and turbulent conflict within the sphere seemed to be weakening.

After some time, this feeling became clearer and clearer. The internal energy fluctuations became relatively smooth and stable, no longer the destructive collisions that seemed ready to explode at any moment.

Even more obvious evidence is that as Harossa continued to draw upon the undead skeleton powder to replenish it, the sphere's volume began to slowly... increase! This means that the internal energy was no longer frantically annihilating the bone powder; the rate of consumption was lower than the rate of replenishment!

"Is the conflict over?" Harosa's heart skipped a beat, filled with anticipation and caution.

He carefully manipulated his divine sense, like the most precise carving knife, slowly "cutting" a circular hole the size of a human head at the top of the sphere.

The hole must be small enough to avoid instantly damaging the overall structure.

However, at the very moment the hole was pierced!

boom--!!!

A deafening roar, deep and muffled, suddenly erupted from the hole! A visible, condensed, almost tangible stream of gray-black high-pressure energy, like a volcanic eruption, shot out of the hole with terrifying force!

The powerful energy flow instantly shattered the bone powder surrounding the hole, creating an even larger breach! The violent airflow and shockwave slammed into Harosa, who was directly in the blast!

Caught off guard, Harosa was propelled backward several meters by the immense force of the impact, her robes fluttering wildly. Although unharmed, she was genuinely startled by the sudden "pressure cooker explosion"!

A tremendous sound echoed through the deathly silent Realm of Rebirth. Below, in the garden of the metal villa, Yali remained seated like an exquisite porcelain doll, her empty eyes showing no emotion, as if the earth-shattering sound existed in a completely different world from her.

The hole that was blasted open is rapidly expanding under the continuous jet of high-pressure energy!

A large amount of grayish-black, fog-like substance surged out of the hole and quickly spread. This "fog" condensed and did not dissipate, emitting a chilling and eerie aura that seemed capable of devouring everything.

Harosa steadied himself and immediately sent a wisp of his divine sense to carefully approach the spewing gray-black mist, attempting to investigate its nature.

Something strange happened!

The moment that wisp of divine consciousness approached the edge of the mist, before it even made actual contact, it began to rapidly "dissolve" and dissipate, just like an ice cube thrown into strong acid!

Even more terrifying was that the terrifying power that could annihilate divine consciousness actually spread rapidly in the opposite direction along the connection of divine consciousness, like a maggot clinging to a bone, heading straight for Harosa's physical consciousness!

"What is that?! Such domineering power!" Harosa was shocked and severed the corrupted connection of divine consciousness without hesitation! The severed divine consciousness was instantly annihilated by the gray mist.

He stared at the eerie gray mist spreading outwards, his brows furrowed: "It seems to have succeeded... but it also seems not entirely successful?" This mist indeed contained powerful devouring properties, its annihilation ability even far exceeding the destruction of the previous seawater!

But the problem is... how do you store this thing? How do you use it? It can even devour your own divine consciousness!

Worse still, the small hole he had just opened seemed to have completely disrupted the internal balance of the bone powder sphere. The layer of bone powder, which had previously managed to barely contain the mist, was now being eroded, decomposed, and reduced to nothingness by the gray-black mist at a visible speed, as if it had encountered its nemesis!

Harosa immediately mobilized a massive amount of bone powder to try to plug the gap and reinforce the sphere, but to no avail! The newly added bone powder was instantly annihilated upon contact with the mist, failing to form an effective barrier at all!

Under Harosa's solemn gaze, the enormous gray-white bone sphere, formed from countless undead skeleton powders, rapidly and irreversibly melted and disintegrated, like snow being dissolved by strong acid!

Large amounts of gray-black mist, no longer restrained, surged out like a floodgate opening, rapidly rising and spreading, filling the sky over this area!

Harosa immediately became alert, ready to intervene at any moment to protect the core of the divine realm. However, unexpectedly, the seemingly domineering gray-black mist did not cause any significant damage to the spatial structure or laws of the divine realm after it spread out.

They seemed to be just another "background color" in this desolate world.

What surprised him even more was that he clearly sensed that the gray-black mist permeating the air was being slowly and actively absorbed by the omnipresent, hazy primal power of the Realm of Rebirth!

"Hmm?" Harosa sensed it carefully. The primal power of the divine realm was like countless tiny tentacles, carefully capturing the particles in the mist, breaking them down and assimilating them.

Although the process was slow, it was indeed proceeding steadily. The domineering devouring power contained within the mist seemed to be being "digested" and "transformed" by the divine origin in a unique way.

"This mist..." Harosa looked at the pervasive gray-black substance and temporarily named it "Devouring Mist".

The changes did not stop. As the Devouring Mist was continuously absorbed by the source of the divine realm, Harosa, as the ruler of the divine realm and closely connected to its source, keenly sensed an extremely subtle but undeniably real change—the Rebirth Divine Realm seemed to be actively drawing some extremely thin, free-floating cosmic energy from the external void!

Although the absorption rate is very slow and the energy absorbed is negligible, like a trickle flowing into the ocean, it is a qualitative change from nothing to something!

This means that after absorbing the Devouring Mist, the Rebirth God Realm seems to have acquired a very rudimentary instinct to autonomously draw energy from the outside world to strengthen itself!

Although the effect is weak now, it has undoubtedly opened up a brand new and potentially huge path for the growth of the divine realm!

This means that his own skeleton world has truly become the realm of the gods. The small world does not have the ability to absorb cosmic energy to strengthen itself, while the realm of gods does.

Although it is slow, every little bit counts, and every single detail of the newly formed divine realm is important.

"I see..." Harosa looked at the swirling, engulfing mist before him, a look of understanding and excitement finally appearing in his eyes. Although the process was perilous and the result somewhat unexpected, it seemed... he had truly succeeded!

The fact that the God Realm can absorb cosmic energy proves that its method is correct. Destroying the seawater increases the proportion of life essence and improves its transformation ability, which means it can devour the mist.
