Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 62 Collecting Dragon Bones and Framing

Refining is not destruction, but rather a high-intensity compression and "formatting" of its massive form, refined energy, and robust structure, erasing its residual instinctive imprints and making it easier to control and contain. This process requires a profound understanding of the laws of space and energy.

Harosa's divine sense enveloped each dragon bone, and the power of rebirth smelted and tempered it like a furnace. The remaining ice and fire divine runes on the skeletons gradually dimmed and disappeared under the impact of the divine power. Enveloped in a grayish-white light, the massive dragon bones began to shrink and condense at a visible speed!

This process lasted for quite some time. Harosa was completely focused, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After all, these were the complete skeletons of two god-king level dragon kings, and refining them would consume a tremendous amount of energy.

Although not as powerful as in his lifetime, Harosa still felt the strain.

Finally, as the grayish-white light slowly faded, the two dragon king skeletons that had been perched like mountains in the small world at the bottom of the spring had vanished. In their place were two fist-sized orbs of light floating in Harossa's palm, each containing two miniature dragon skeletons!

One was a crystal-clear, icy blue, like the purest ice crystal, exuding an aura that could freeze everything; the other was a blazing, crimson red, like a pulsating lava core, containing the power to incinerate the entire world.

Harosa looked at the two orbs of light in his palm, each containing terrifying energy, and nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, the deep gates of the underworld opened before him.

"receive!"

The two clumps of Dragon King's bone essence instantly transformed into streams of light, disappeared into the gates of the underworld, and were safely sent to the realm of the gods of rebirth.

If the Dragon King's remains are not refined, they cannot be directly stored in the Gate of the Underworld; otherwise, they would likely burst open. Although the Gate of the Underworld is useful, it is still too fragile.

Without the support of the skeletal origin, the extremely pure ice and fire energy deep within the spring instantly became disordered and much thinner.

Although the entire Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire still exists, its core "divinity" and potential have been completely drained away by Harosa!

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has now truly become a colorful hot pot, living up to its name.

This "genius manufacturing plant" has lost its value.

Harosa didn't linger. His figure shot out of the spring like an arrow and returned to the valley. Looking at this devastated land, devoid of all its immortal herbs and source of energy, his face remained expressionless.

Mission accomplished, time to leave. A flash of greyish-black light, and Harosa's figure vanished completely from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

All that remains is a valley that has been completely hollowed out and is merely an empty shell.

After plundering the essence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Harosa did not leave immediately. His gaze swept over the ravaged valley, a cold smile playing on his lips. With a thought, he retrieved a large number of powerful soul-guided bombs from his storage soul-guided device, bombs he had looted from the Tang Sect's warehouse.

These bombs were not simply intended to destroy the valley itself, but were cleverly and covertly placed at the valley entrance, the edge of the core area, and some essential routes.

His setup was extremely sophisticated; the bomb's energy fuse was adjusted to be incredibly sensitive. As soon as it sensed a certain amount and intensity of soul power fluctuations gathering, it would detonate instantly! In other words, if even a slightly large number of soul masters came in to investigate, or if anyone attempted to probe carefully with their soul power, it would trigger a chain of explosions!

Having done all this, Harosa nodded in satisfaction. The deep gates of the underworld opened silently, and he stepped into them, his figure disappearing completely from the valley he had looted.

About half an hour after Harosa left.

A team of about ten Soul Masters dressed in Tang Sect Battle Soul Hall uniforms appeared solemnly at the entrance of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley. They were a patrol team responsible for perimeter security and regular communication.

"Something's wrong!" The squad leader frowned. "It's been over an hour, and there haven't been any routine reports coming out. All communication requests have gone unanswered! Even the status signal from the automatic defense system has been cut off!"

An alert is issued every half hour, and if there is no message for more than an hour, a problem is automatically identified.

An ominous premonition enveloped the group. They cautiously approached the entrance, only to find that the heavy alloy door was ajar! Inside, it was eerily quiet, deathly still.

"Alert! Enter in groups of three, taking turns providing cover!" the squad leader decisively ordered. The ten members of the Battle Soul Hall immediately formed a combat formation, loaded their soul-guided weapons, and quietly lit up their soul rings as they cautiously stepped into the valley entrance passage.

Long-range soul-guided cannons are available for support at any time.

The passageway was a mess, bearing the marks of battle and energy impact, but it was deserted. Their unease intensified, and they quickened their pace towards the core area.

Just as they were about to step out of the passage and into the open area of ​​the core area!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom---!!

It was like igniting a powder keg! The soul-guided bombs planted at key points in the entrance and passage were instantly triggered by the surge of their gathered soul power! Deafening explosions rang out in succession! The violent energy shockwaves, scorching metal fragments, and the collapsed passage structure instantly engulfed the ten-person team!

Before they could even utter a scream, ten well-trained elite warriors from the Tang Clan's Battle Soul Hall were caught completely off guard and blown to pieces, their bodies left no trace! Their blood, flesh, and remains mingled with smoke and debris!

Almost at the same time as the explosion!

Whoosh!

A specially made soul-guided signal flare shot into the sky from near the explosion center, trailing a long tail of flame, and exploded with a bang hundreds of meters in the air!

The blinding flames coalesced in the air into a huge, lingering line of text:

"Qian Gu Die Ting was here!"

The enormous explosion, like a thunderclap, instantly reverberated for dozens of miles around! Other Tang Clan members on patrol and guard duty nearby were startled by the loud noise and the towering flames and smoke, and they all rushed towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye!

When they arrived near the valley entrance, they saw the collapsed passage, the billowing smoke, and the pungent smell of blood. Then, looking up at the arrogant and glaring inscription in the sky: "Qian Gu Die Ting was here!"—

Everyone's face turned deathly pale instantly!

"Inconsistent!!"

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!!"

"Eternal Legacy?! Spirit Pagoda! You deserve to die!!!"

"Report this immediately!"

"It might not be the Spirit Pagoda. Damn, even the characters are wrong. Report the truth, and the sect leader will decide who did it!"

If Harosa were still there, he'd probably wonder if there was a mistake in the wording. Sorry, I've been killing my way through life since I was a kid, and I've never been to school.

A roar of grief, despair, and disbelief instantly resounded through the sky!

They didn't need to investigate the interior at all. Based solely on the horrific scene at the entrance and the blatant "message" in the sky, some people concluded that it was Qian Gu Die Ting, the master of the Spirit Pagoda, who personally attacked and plundered the Tang Clan's sacred site, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, in the most cruel and arrogant way!

The news spread like wildfire, carrying boundless anger and panic, and instantly reached the Tang Clan headquarters!

The instigator of all this, Harosa, had already returned to the hazy sky of the God Realm of Rebirth. He felt the pulse of the God Realm slowly absorbing the energy of the void, and the even more powerful aura of the Underworld after the chanting devoured the dragon soul. A barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

Xingluo framed the Spirit Pagoda, and Douluo's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye also framed the Spirit Pagoda—the Spirit Pagoda's days are probably numbered.

It's better for things to get chaotic. If the self-consumption of the power of the Douluo plane goes too far, there will be no one to lead the invasion of the Abyss plane later. Tang Hao and his wife will definitely have to personally take action instead of hiding until the end like in the original story. In this way, I might have a chance to hunt them down.

The first step to making Tang San fly is to kill Xiao Haozi and his wife.

He didn't need to see the Tang Clan's reaction firsthand to imagine the boundless rage and chaos it would unleash. But that was exactly what he wanted.
