Sky-Piercing: Sun-Shooting!
Ha Luosa's reaction was remarkably swift.
He almost instinctively realized that the greatest threat in this Lunar Extinction Realm was not Yun Jingheng and his companion, whose cultivation had been temporarily boosted, but rather the terrifying nature of this independent space itself, a nature that even the very essence of the Underworld trembled with.
Time rewind!
This is not just a simple spatial blockade, but a more ancient and profound power of time, capable of touching the very essence of Martial Soul and Soul Power.
He could clearly sense that the Nether Power within his body, which had been washed away, stripped away, and annihilated by the Lunar Clear Qi, was not simply "purified," but rather forcibly "reverted" to a state before it was cultivated by some strange law of this space.
That was an experience far more terrifying than being injured.
An invisible hand is turning the pages of his life, one by one. With each page turned, the Soul Power he has cultivated for a hundred years diminishes, and the true essence of his Martial Soul, imprinted deep in his bloodline, dims.
If he remains trapped here for even a short while longer, his cultivation level will permanently decline!
This realization was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, jolting Ha Luosa out of his helplessness under the influence of the Moonlight's radiance.
He clenched his teeth and rapidly formed hand seals in front of him.
"Fight for me, my knights!"
boom--
A deathly aura, as black as ink, erupted from his body, tearing a deep rift in the void behind him.
From within the rift, twelve Undead Knight, clad in heavy black armor and wielding various weapons, emerged one after another, stepping on icy Nether Fire.
Each Undead Knight was over three meters tall, with eerie green soul flames flickering in their eye sockets, and an aura of death swirling around them powerful enough to corrode the protective Soul Power of Titled Douluo.
Their auras were intertwined, and the twelve gathered together, their momentum approaching that of Limit Douluo. A death cavalry from the Underworld was about to crush this pure white secret realm.
However--
The moment they stepped into the Lunar Extinction Realm, a sudden change occurred.
The clear Moonlight that filled the world seemed to have encountered the most detested filth, and suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silvery-white light.
The silvery light cascaded down like a waterfall.
The three Undead Knight at the forefront had their protective aura of nether energy melt away the moment it touched the Moonlight, as if boiling water had been poured on snow.
The eerie green flames in their eye sockets flickered violently, emitting a silent, mournful roar that seemed to originate from the depths of their souls.
The surface of those jet-black heavy armors was covered with dense cracks, from which a silvery-white light shone, as if something was tearing them apart from the inside.
Immediately afterwards--
The armor of the first Undead Knight shattered completely, revealing its torso, which was formed from pure nether energy. Moonlight poured in everywhere, and the torso, like an ice sculpture under the scorching sun, began to collapse and dissipate inch by inch from the edges.
The second statue, the third statue, the fourth statue...
The crisp cracking sounds echoed throughout the secret realm as the twelve menacing Undead Knight shattered one after another like dominoes within the mere three breaths of their appearance.
Before the dark debris even hit the ground, it was completely purified by the Moonlight and turned into nothingness.
When the shattering sounds ceased, only two of the twelve Undead Knight remained.
They barely managed to maintain their form, their protective aura of the underworld compressed to a thin layer clinging to the surface of their armor. The soul flames in their eye sockets had dimmed considerably, and they stood there trembling, too terrified to move by the terrifying suppression of this space.
Ha Luosa's pupils contracted sharply.
He finally saw the true terror of this isolated space.
It's not just suppressing the power of the Underworld, nor just weakening their cultivation levels; the Moonlight power in this space is erasing the very "existence" of those Undead Knight.
That was a situation far more desperate than fighting.
"Damn it... what is this thing?!"
He cursed under his breath, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
With a sudden thrust of his hands, a powerful surge of Nether Power shot into the bodies of the last two Undead Knight.
The ghostly flames in the eye sockets of the two knights suddenly reignited, and the aura of death around them surged wildly, actually burning up all the remaining essence of themselves.
"Charge! Tear them apart!"
Ha Luosa's command carried an unquestionable resolve.
Two Undead Knight let out a low growl, treading on the shattered earth and dragging their tattered armor, charging fearlessly towards Yun Jingheng and Wu Zhangkong.
They were not fast, but every step they took shook the earth. The weapons in their hands burned with eerie green Nether Fire, the last power they had gained by burning their very essence.
Yun Jingheng's gaze sharpened slightly.
He could feel the surging Titled Douluo -level Soul Power within his body. That immense power surged from his limbs and bones, resonating with his own Moonlight Martial Soul.
This feeling was strange and wonderful, as if I had suddenly been given a much stronger body, with every muscle and every strand of Soul Power being several times stronger than before.
The force came suddenly, and he wasn't familiar with it.
Wu Zhangkong took a step forward, and his cultivation level was also raised to the title level, but he also lacked the corresponding combat experience, making his control somewhat clumsy.
Faced with two Undead Knight charging at them, their life force burning, the two exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.
Yun Jingheng made a fist with his right hand, Lunar Essence condensed in his palm into a silver-white Moonlight Sword.
He swung his sword at the knight on his left, the Moonlight Sword bursting forth and colliding head-on with the knight's Nether Iron Greatsword.
boom--
A burst of silver and eerie green light erupted, and the Undead Knight was forced back several steps. A deep sword mark appeared on his breastplate, and the power of Moonlight corroded inward along the mark, making a hissing sound.
But its charge did not stop; it roared and pounced again.
Wu Zhangkong then used his titled-level Soul Power to activate his ice-attribute Martial Soul, and a crystal-clear ice sword condensed in his hand, its tip piercing straight into the face of another knight.
The sword clashed with the Netherblade, shattering into countless ice crystals and fragments of Nether Fire. The knight's shoulder armor was pierced by the ice spear, but it seemed oblivious, continuing to wildly swing its blade.
Although the two Undead Knight, burning their very essence, were continuously suppressed and weakened by the Lunar Extinction Realm, the brief burst of power gained from burning their essence allowed them to withstand the attacks of Yun Jingheng and his companion, keeping them firmly entangled.
They were like two walls burning with ghostly flames, buying every breath of time for Ha Luosa behind them.
Ha Luosa no longer cared about the fate of the two knights.
The Nether Power around him surged wildly.
Wisps of black flames ignited from his body, a sign of burning life force. The flames licked his skin, scorching it with black marks, but he was oblivious, staring intently at every inch of this pure white secret realm, searching for even the slightest crack.
"Spatial laws... independent domains... they are not stable..."
His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, swept across the slightly trembling Moonlight barrier at the edge of the secret realm.
Yes, Yun Jingheng's control over this Lunar Extinction Realm is far from perfect, so this hastily constructed independent space has flaws.
The Moonlight barriers at the edges are not a single, continuous piece, but rather woven from countless tiny threads of Moonlight, with barely perceptible gaps occasionally appearing between them.
That is an unavoidable flaw for an inexperienced controller, and the inevitable price to pay for forcibly activating an unfamiliar Soul Skill.
It's not qualified to trap Quasi-God.
A sinister smile curled at the corners of Ha Luosa's mouth.
"Found it."
The black flames burning around him suddenly surged, and he transformed into a jet-black meteor, rushing towards the weakest point where the Moonlight threads intertwined in the northeast corner of the secret realm.
"Smash it!"
His right fist, imbued with the ultimate power gained from burning his life force, slammed fiercely into the Moonlight barrier.
Rumble--
The heavens and earth roared.
The moment that punch landed, the entire Lunar Extinction Realm trembled violently. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the pure white barrier of the secret realm, spreading in all directions from where the punch landed. Silvery-white fragments of Moonlight fell from the cracks.
Yun Jingheng's expression changed drastically. He could clearly sense that his control over this secret realm was rapidly slipping away.
Those shattered Moonlight barriers, like broken mirrors, peeled away and collapsed piece by piece, revealing the azure sky light belonging to the Douluo Continent behind them.
Ha Luosa gritted his teeth and threw another punch.
Click--
The cracks completely penetrated the barrier of the secret realm, and silvery-white Moonlight fragments fell like shattered glass.
The sky above the Pure White Secret Realm resembled a shattered dome, with large chunks of silvery-white fragments peeling away to reveal the true world outside.
The entire Lunar Extinction Realm collapsed inch by inch from the inside out, like a shattered glass ball.
"Puff--!"
Yun Jingheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, decisively abandoned the battle with the undead, and used the power of Moonlight to wrap around Wu Zhangkong. At the moment of complete collapse, he took Wu Changkong out of the collapsing independent space domain.
Ha Luosa, however, managed to escape through the largest crack at the very last moment before the space shattered.
The light and shadow shifted before my eyes, and the sunlight of the Douluo Continent shone down once more.
Beneath my feet lay the shattered earth, above me the real sky, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood—the smell of a real battlefield.
Ha Luosa's feet had barely touched the ground, she hadn't even had time to steady herself, she hadn't even had time to catch her breath—
A beam of white light shot out.
That wasn't an ordinary attack; it was a gun.
A gun, its entire body burning with incandescent light, arrived even before it did, its earth-shattering oppressive aura already descending upon Ha Luosa, almost solidifying the remaining Nether Power around him.
Ha Luosa's pupils dilated to their maximum size in that instant.
He recognized the move.
Sky-Supporting Shooting Sun.
That was the full-force attack of one of the strongest Limit Douluo in the world.
"Cloud--Dark--!"
Ha Luosa's hoarse voice was filled with resentment and anger, but he had no time to dodge or defend himself.
Burning his life force to break through the Lunar Extinction Realm had already exhausted most of his power and essence.
At this moment, his body was charred black, his Nether Power was exhausted, and he could barely stand. How could he possibly withstand Yun Ming's long-awaited ultimate attack?
He could only watch helplessly as the spear pierced the sky and penetrated his chest.
Pfft--
The sound of the gun entering the body was dull yet clear.
Incandescent flames erupted from the wound, scorching his flesh, bones, and meridians, burning away every last trace of Netherworld Nether Power within him.
The pain was a hundred times worse than the previous cleansing by the Lunar Clear Qi; it felt as if a sun had exploded inside him, trying to erase his existence from the world.
The impact propelled Ha Luosa's body backward, carving a scorched trench tens of meters long in the ground before finally coming to a stop by crashing into a massive rock.
Amidst the flying pebbles, he looked down at his chest.
There was a long spear stuck there, its entire body glowing white. The edges of the wound were charred and carbonized, and the incandescent flames were still burning at the wound, spreading continuously in all directions.
If it weren't for the fact that his Nether King True Body form possessed extremely strong vitality and regenerative abilities, and if he hadn't instinctively concentrated all his remaining life force at the wound to resist the bullet the moment it entered his body, this shot would have been enough to kill him on the spot.
Even so, his aura had already plummeted to freezing point.
His body was charred black, his Nether Power was depleted, and a penetrating wound pierced his chest. The flames continued to burn him, consuming his remaining life force.
"Withdraw... we must withdraw..."
Ha Luosa struggled to his feet from the rubble, staggered backward, pulled the gun from his chest, and threw it to the ground.
His gaze swept across the surroundings, seeing Yun Ming recalling the Atlas Spear in the distance, the shattered remains of the Abyss Monarch scattered on the ground, Yun Jingheng being supported by Wu Zhangkong Changkong, and the reinforcements rushing towards them.
They can't stay any longer.
If he stays any longer, he really will die here.
Ha Luosa gritted his teeth, and his remaining Nether Power tore open a dark rift behind him, just wide enough for one person to pass through.
He stumbled and crawled into the crevice, and at the last moment before it closed, he turned around, his gaze fixed on Yun Jingheng's direction.
In that gaze, there was resentment, anger, apprehension, and a trace of fear that even he himself was unwilling to admit.
Subsequently, the crack closed.
Ha Luosa's presence vanished completely from the battlefield.
