Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 97 Sealing? You two don't seem qualified (Bonus chapter for the groundhog who loves braised pork)

The tremors within the temple suddenly intensified! A piercing scream, filled with endless resentment and madness, pierced through the temple and soared into the sky!

The space at the temple entrance began to distort, and dark, vein-like energy lines spread out from the depths of the temple, clinging to the broken walls and ground, greedily sucking up the energy of the demon plane.

A chilling malice surged forth like a tangible tide!

The Shadow Assassin Demon and the Lava Blade Demon trembled violently, their eyes filled with despair. Their divine senses surged frantically towards Harossa, almost pleading: "Quick! Douluo! Only you! The sword in your hand, the Douluo aura emanating from you, might be able to trigger the resonance of that Douluo artifact at the core of the temple, strengthening the seal! This is our last chance! Any later and it will truly be too late! Cooperation! Temporary cooperation! After sealing Atong, we—we can talk!"

Harosa looked at the two demon gods before him, who had been fierce and menacing before but were now trembling with fear. He listened to the increasingly violent and tangible evil aura emanating from the depths of the temple, and his thoughts raced through his mind like lightning.

Regardless of the veracity of this story, the divine pressure emanating from the resurrected "Atong" deep within the temple far surpasses that of the Lava Blade Demon and Shadow Assassin Demon before him, and carries an aura that instinctively disgusts him and targets the origin of Douluo.

If what they say is true, and this madwoman's first target after escaping is the Douluo Plane, then that's an absolutely massive problem! A far more direct and terrifying problem than the Abyss Plane. As for the demon god's promise? Harosa doesn't believe a word of it. After sealing A-Tong, those two will definitely turn on him immediately.

But—isn't this also an opportunity? An opportunity for two clams to fight, and a third party to profit!

"Hmph!" Harosa snorted coldly, interrupting the Shadow Assassin's incessant persuasion. A chilling light flashed in his greyish-white eyes, carrying a condescending scrutiny and impatience. "Shut up! Stop making noise!"

He suddenly stood up from the top of the Water Dragon King's spirit, his gray-brown, decaying wood-colored divine halo shining brightly, and a deeper and more domineering power of rebirth erupted! He no longer held back, his powerful divine sense like an invisible giant net, instantly invading and taking over the core of the Water Dragon King's and Fire Dragon King's spirit skeletons!

Before experiencing a war of gods, they really thought I was a weakling when they attacked me. Now I'll show you what it means to be a god with a divine realm!

"Ang Yi Yi!!!"

"Roar!!!"

In the empty eye sockets of the two dragon kings, the grayish-white soul flames suddenly turned into a deep grayish-brown, as if they had been infused with the will of Harosa!

Their roars were no longer empty, instinctive howls, but soul-shaking battle cries filled with Harosa's fighting spirit! The chilling aura surrounding the Water Dragon King's undead instantly condensed a hundredfold, and the moisture in the air was instantly sucked away, transforming into countless sharp ice crystal blades that surrounded his body.

The space itself seemed to be frozen, cracked with fine black lines!

The magma in the crevices of the Fire Dragon King's undead skeleton instantly turned from crimson to blinding white, and the terrifying incineration temperature caused the surrounding air to distort violently, producing a crackling sound!

Harosa's divine sense firmly locked onto the Lava Blade Demon and the Shadow Assassin Demon, his icy voice like a pronouncement from the underworld: "I have no interest in your flawed stories! And even less interest in playing your sealing games! Want to live? Fine!"

His Netherworld Chant was pointed directly at the two demon gods, its tip gleaming with a deadly gray-brown light: "Let me see if you two pieces of trash are worthy of my 'temporary cooperation'! Take this!"

I don't care if you're from the same world or not, I'm still Miyamoto Musashi! I came to the Demon Dimension to devour everything, so I'm not in the mood to play the story unlocking game with you guys.

Before the words were even finished, the undead water dragon king controlled by Harossa launched the first attack! Its enormous maw opened, no longer spewing out a wide-ranging icy breath, but instead unleashing a deep blue ray—the "Eternal Silence Ice Ray"—that was condensed to its extreme, only as thick as an arm, and radiating an aura of absolute zero and deathly stillness! Its target was the relatively slender joints of the Shadow Assassin Demon, which were known for their speed!

At the same time, the Fire Dragon King's massive body did not clumsily pounce, but instead swung its giant tail covered in incandescent lava!

The giant tail tore through the air, carrying the terrifying power to scorch mountains and boil seas, transforming into a giant fiery whip that ripped through space, lashing fiercely at the Lava Blade Demon's lower body! This attack was not intended to severely injure it, but rather to force it to block and restrict its movements!

Meanwhile, Harosa's true form vanished from the top of the Ice Dragon's head the instant the Water Dragon King launched his attack, his figure disappearing like a shadow merging into space.

"You're courting death!" the Lava Blade Demon roared furiously. Facing the sweeping fiery tail, it dared not be careless and fiercely slashed down with its giant lava blade burning with hellfire in an attempt to block.

The Shadow Assassin Demon darted around, transforming into dozens of afterimages in an attempt to evade the deadly deep blue ray.

However, just as the afterimage of the Shadow Assassin Demon dissipated, Harosa's figure appeared like a ghost behind the Lava Blade Demon's massive head!

He wasn't attacking the Lava Blade Demon, but rather using the Lava Blade Demon's massive body as cover, and the moment when the Shadow Assassin Demon's attention was drawn by the Water Dragon King's attack!

Rebirth - Instant Hell Strike!

The sword of the Underworld Chant was completely enveloped in a divine light of gray-brown decaying wood color, and Harosa poured all his divine power and the true meaning of rebirth into it!

The sword emitted a shriek that seemed to come from the deepest hell!

There was no grand display, only a gray-brown sword beam that was faster than the limits of thought, a beam that condensed death and new life. As if breaking through the distance of space, it pierced the Shadow Assassin Demon's chest cavity, which was covered by dark purple armor, with perfect precision the instant the Shadow Assassin Demon's true form solidified from a phantom. That was one of the relatively weak energy nodes that Harossa had judged through the previous battle and his current perception!

This attack, in its timing, angle, and power, was flawlessly executed! It was a devastating blow from Harosa, a third-level god, combining the power of the Rebirth God with his combat wisdom! He wanted to show these two demon gods that cooperating was a no-brainer; they would first have to be qualified to stand before him!

Mouth!

The sword light collided with the dark purple carapace, producing a teeth-grinding cutting sound! This time, it was no longer an ineffective shower of sparks! The sword light, imbued with the rebirth divine power of a peak third-level god and possessing the characteristics of devouring and ending, sliced ​​through the Shadow Assassin Demon's hastily gathered protective magical energy like a hot knife cutting into solidified grease, and fiercely pierced into its carapace!

"Hiss!!!" The Shadow Assassin let out a piercing, agonizing hiss! Dark purple, highly corrosive divine blood gushed from its wound like a fountain! Its aura instantly became chaotic and plummeted! Harosar's sword strike had precisely and severely damaged its core node!

Upon seeing this, the Lava Blade Demon was filled with shock and rage. He let out a deafening roar and, disregarding the Fire Dragon King's giant tail, unleashed a massive lava blade with earth-shattering power, slashing fiercely at Harosa, who had just appeared!

But Harosa, having landed a successful blow, did not linger. His figure, accelerated by the Netherworld Rebirth Domain, transformed into a phantom once more, instantly retreating to the side of the Water Dragon King's undead. Only the wounded Shadow Assassin Demon remained, kneeling and retreating amidst painful howls, and the Lava Blade Demon's furious slash that carved a bottomless lava chasm into the mountain below!

Harosana's deadly sword strike, imbued with the divine power of rebirth and condensed with the essence of death and new life, precisely tore through the Shadow Assassin's prized dark purple carapace. Dark purple divine blood gushed out like a punctured abscess! The piercing, soul-tearing scream was not only due to the excruciating physical pain, but also contained the Shadow Assassin's unbelievable horror!

"Hiss!!! Impossible!!!"

A greyish-brown, decaying wood-colored halo slowly rotated behind Harossa. He stood with his sword in hand, his cold gaze sweeping over the wounded Shadow Assassin and the enraged Lava Blade Demon, his voice completely unwavering:

"Now, we can talk about—how to deal with that 'A-Tong' inside."

"Are you even worthy?!"
