Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 96 Atong Comes from Douluo Continent

Harosa sat atop the ice dragon's head, a cold mockery flashing in his greyish-white eyes. A slight smile played on his lips as his divine sense vibrated, and he responded slowly and deliberately, his tone dripping with sarcasm: "Oh? So you're the ones who want to die? I can leave this demonic plane whenever I want."

He deliberately released a trace of the spatial fluctuations unique to the Gate of the Underworld, as if revealing an invisible trump card.

The Lava Blade Demon let out a furious growl, its lava-like eyes fixed on Harosa: "You can't leave! The only way to leave the Demon Dimension is through the Douluo Passage! But you've destroyed the Douluo Passage! Atong has revived, and her aura has locked onto the spatial nodes of this area! Unless she's resealed, this space will be completely distorted and sealed off by her power, and no one will escape! Everyone will die!"

Harosa's inward sneer deepened. The logical flaws were too blatant!

Since they kept saying that "everyone will die" after Atong's resurrection, it means that Atong's strength absolutely overwhelms them. But these two were just sent flying out of the temple, and although they were disheveled and injured, their auras were stable, and their combat power was not greatly diminished; they were far from being on the verge of death or seriously injured. If Atong were really that strong, how could they have been so "mildly" just sent flying?

The only explanation is that there is a problem inside the temple! There is likely some kind of powerful sealing restriction, or Aton's own state is extremely special (for example, he is sealed and can only exert part of his power), which makes it impossible for the two demons to do anything to Harosa outside. So they want to lure him into the temple and use the environment inside or Aton himself to deal with him!

"Heh," Harosa's divine sense was as cold as a knife, carrying undisguised mockery, "Then let's all die together. It's not a loss for me to take the two of you down with me, and this so-called 'Atong' as well." He even leisurely patted the Water Dragon King's cold skull.

He looked like he was enjoying the show.

Harosa's unyielding and fearless attitude made the Lava Blade Demon and Shadow Assassin Demon's expressions (if they had any) even more unpleasant, and their breathing became somewhat disordered.

Their massive bodies throbbed restlessly, their eyes scanning back and forth between Harosa and the temple entrance, which resembled the gaping maw of a predatory beast, filled with anxiety and helplessness.

Just then, another strange noise came from deep within the temple!

"Thump—thump—thump—"

It was no longer a violent energy surge, but a heavy, slow tremor, like the beating of an ancient war drum! This tremor seemed to strike directly at the soul, and with each sound, the entire isolated plateau trembled violently, and more rubble fell from the remaining walls of the temple.

Accompanied by this heavy heartbeat (or rather, pulsation), that vast and malevolent divine aura, like an awakened volcano, began to rise steadily at a despairing pace! In the dark depths of the temple entrance, it seemed as if countless pairs of cold eyes suddenly opened, greedily peering at the outside world!

"It's too late!" The Shadow Assassin's divine sense was hoarse with a hint of despair. It seemed to have made up its mind, transmitting its thoughts at an extremely fast pace, trying to persuade Harossa: "Douluo! Put away your hostility! We don't necessarily want to kill you! This temple, this Atong..."

She originated from your Douluo Continent! Atong is also a Douluo person!

Harosa's heart skipped a beat; this confirmed his earlier suspicions. His face remained impassive, though his greyish-white eyes narrowed slightly.

It signals to the other person to continue speaking.

Keep pretending, let's see how you perform. You're good at acting but not at thinking straight.

Seeing that Harosa did not immediately refute or attack, the Shadow Assassin grasped at a straw, and his divine sense rapidly transmitted a long-forgotten history:

"Legend has it! Twenty thousand years ago! In the ancient mountain region of the Demon Realm known as 'Chelyabinsk,' space suddenly tore open, and a passage connecting the Douluo Realm and our Demon Realm—which we call the 'Douluo Passage'—suddenly appeared!"

"Our ancestors, the lineage of demons, sensed a terrifying, overwhelming divine aura emanating from the other side of the passage! It was an existence our demonic dimension could never contend with! For the survival of our race, our ancestors decided to exert all their strength to completely block and seal that destructive passage!"

"However, just as our ancestors had gathered all their power and arrived at the Chelyabinsk Mountains, preparing to seal the passage—a Douluo emerged from within!"

The Shadow Assassin's consciousness was filled with the terror inherited from his ancestors: "A woman! A Douluo woman—powerful beyond comprehension!"

"She—she killed all the ancestors who tried to seal the passage! She devoured their power! And then, in our plane, tainted by our demonic essence—she became a god! A god possessing the divine status and position of our demonic plane!"

"We initially thought she was a destroyer sent from the Douluo Continent to bring about the end of the Demon Continent, but strangely, she didn't. She issued a divine decree and, with absolute power, quelled the bloody war that had raged among the various tribes of the Demon Continent for countless millennia."

She brought order and even enlightenment. The Shadow Assassin's spiritual fluctuations carried a complex and enigmatic emotion. "We respectfully call her 'Tong,' meaning the goddess who brings hope and order."

Harosa listened, his brow furrowed. The story sounded far too bizarre. A Douluo woman went to the Demon Realm, became a god, and even became a savior?

Who's this awesome guy? He's even more impressive than the mistress.

If Shadow Assassin is right, then this demon plane doesn't seem to be the work of Xiao Sanzi.

"However," the Shadow Assassin's voice suddenly turned low and fearful, "over the long years, 'Tong' has changed. She has become increasingly violent, increasingly greedy, increasingly—evil! She began to wantonly extract the primal power of the demon plane, using us demon people for horrific experiments, creating twisted monsters—she has become the source of calamity!"

"Finally, from among the demon tribes who could no longer endure the oppression, a new god was born!" The Shadow Assassin's divine sense pointed to itself and the Lava Blade Demon. "It is beings like us! We united, paid an unimaginable price, and launched a war of god-slaying! In the end, we successfully sealed 'Tong,' who had become utterly corrupt and was known as 'A' (meaning the source of evil), deep within this temple she herself built, a symbol of her former glory!"

"The core that seals her is the divine artifact she brought from the Douluo Plane, imbued with the laws of Douluo! It is both the cornerstone of the temple and the cage that imprisons her!" The Shadow Assassin's divine sense was filled with deep hatred and profound weariness. "And the mission of successive Demon Gods has been to protect this temple, strengthen the seal, and prevent 'A-Tong's' will from resurfacing and completely devouring this plane! Once she truly breaks free and has absorbed enough demonic essence to compensate for the depletion of these past two years, no one will be able to control her! She will destroy everything here, and then she will definitely reopen the passage to the Douluo Plane! To take revenge, to devour! Whether it's the Demon Plane or the Douluo Plane, she is a catastrophic calamity!"

"Thump!!!"
