Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 104 Defeat and Death

This place doesn't seem like a single domain; it's more like a world.

This is not simply a domain, but a realm, a being far more powerful than a domain.

Here, the butterfly is the master.

But beside Xia Die, the figure of the dead dragon Polykes appeared, not as a phantom, but as its real form, turning the one-on-one fight into a two-on-one battle.

It is indeed that unfair.

In his youth, the God of Death wanted to curse his external self, saying, "You're making me fight two against one, or even one against one, it'll be tough."

He could clearly sense that the dragon was no match for him.

The power of death emanating from him was terrifying; even the god of death paled in comparison to this dragon.

Xia Die lifted the hem of her skirt and said, "Lord God of Death, be careful."

Although the God of Death wanted to curse, he showed no fear after the appearance of the dead dragon, Polyces.

"Alright, little Adie, let me see just how strong you are as my successor."

The God of Death looked at the deathly purple light emanating from his body, and his aura had increased several notches.

Previously, he was only a Soul Saint, but upon entering this domain, all his attributes were directly reduced, and his strength was suppressed to 60%, resulting in a reduction of several times his original combat power.

The God of Death floated directly in the void, and a power filled with death resounded throughout the heavens and earth, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.

A field filled with the power of death formed on the ground, but even so, it could not extinguish the sea of ​​flowers in the forgotten underworld.

This move is the Death Domain of the God of Death. The effect of this domain is that all life within it will be eroded by death energy, slowly losing its life force. Plants will wither and die instantly, turning into ashes; the bodily functions of animals and soul beasts will rapidly decline, wounds will be difficult to heal, and as time goes by, their life force will be drawn out at a visible rate, turning into black streams of light that converge towards the domain's caster, enhancing their power.

By gaining absolute control over death energy, the domain caster can briefly summon undead creatures to assist in combat. These undead creatures include skeleton warriors and ghosts; they are impervious to pain, their attacks carry the aura of death, and targets struck by them will be infected with death toxins, gradually losing their ability to move and eventually becoming new undead.

Soul power rapidly dissipates, and it can also devour the enemy's life force, as well as emit neurotoxins to confuse the enemy's mental power.

However, this field is ineffective against the Butterfly.

The God of Death summoned many undead creatures, and although these undead creatures were powerful, they were far inferior to the undead creatures in his own undead demiplane.

"Pollyceus makes his move."

The gentle gaze of the dead dragon Polykes vanished, replaced by a chilling hostility.

As the dead dragon Polykes slammed down with its claws, the sky and earth shattered, and a large group of undead creatures were pulverized by the force.

These undead creatures, however, are resurrected after death.

The God of Death used it in time

Second Soul Skill: Decaying Roar - Like Rain Falling Down.

The dead dragon Polykes flew into the sky, and countless black holes appeared, causing a purple rain of magic to fall towards them like meteors.

Anyone hit by the attack immediately enters a state of quantum entanglement and is unable to act.

Now that Death Dragon Bolykes is present, the skills previously used by Death Dragon Phantom have been completely replaced by Death Dragon Bolykes himself.

The places destroyed by the dead dragon Polykes were restored in an instant. Everything here is under the control of Xiaodie and will not be easily destroyed.

The God of Death also directly activated his Martial Soul True Form.

As the seventh spirit ring suddenly blazed with a blood-red light, the air around the spirit wielder began to distort and disintegrate. Grayish-black mist surged wildly like a living thing, condensing behind him into a pair of sky-covering bone wings, each bone spike dripping with a foul-smelling black viscous liquid.

The death scythe in his hand trembled violently, and the patterns on the blade burst forth with an eerie red light, instantly growing to ten zhang in length, with dark matter swirling around the edge of the blade, devouring light.

With a roar that shattered the clouds, the wielder's body tripled in size, bluish-gray bone patterns appeared on his skin, and his eyes became empty holes burning with ghostly flames. His figure appeared and disappeared in the black mist, and countless ghostly phantoms behind him stretched out withered arms, lifting him into the air, like the Grim Reaper himself crawling out of the abyss of the underworld.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Form - Death Reaper!"

A hoarse roar, accompanied by the wails of countless souls, suddenly plunged the entire space into deathly silence. The ground cracked inch by inch, gushing out gurgling black blood, and the dust floating in the air condensed into tiny skull shapes. The instant the scythe of death was swung, the space within a hundred meters was torn apart, revealing a dark red void rift behind it.

It possesses the radiance of a first-class deity.

"The seventh soul skill is called Death's Roar - Resurrection Bell".

The dead dragon Polykes roared, its body growing even larger, and the power of death emanating from it becoming even stronger, enveloping the world in its deathly aura.

Her Martial Soul True Form, along with others' Martial Soul True Forms, expands the range of the Death Curse, making any attack affected by the power of death. All attributes are enhanced, the Moon Cocoon Protection skill has no cooldown, and Netherfire, Styx River, and Nether Explosion—all powers will be amplified.

The power unleashed by the Death Dragon Bolykes is terrifying. During the battle, Bolykes' power increases every minute, and after five minutes, it enters a berserk state.

All enemies will be afflicted with [Netherfire], [Quantum Entanglement], [Death Erosion], and [Decline Damage], causing them to continuously lose life force.

Xia Die had changed a lot; she now had a pair of purple wings on her back, symbolizing death, and wore a headscarf, adding to her mysterious aura.
The God of Death was pale, his body was ignited with Netherfire, his Martial Soul was solidified, and he was in a state of quantum entanglement, death erosion, and decay damage, which was now a very bad state.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Desolate Shadow Soul Strike".

Xia Die summoned several clones, each with the same aura and strength as herself, and they charged directly towards the God of Death.

"Clone?"

No, even a clone wouldn't have such power; it's completely identical to the original body.

The God of Death, wielding the scythe of death, cleaved open a large spatial rift, from which emerged a skeleton dressed in black robes and holding a scythe, as if from the deepest hell.

The demons and monsters exuded a sinister and terrifying aura; this was the Grim Reaper. With the power of the God of Death, summoning the Grim Reaper was simple. The two had already exchanged no less than a hundred blows, yet Xia Die remained completely at ease.

A delicate hand, encased in a purple glove, grasped.

A force of time enveloped the opponent, and they were quickly imprisoned by it.

Time itself is one of the forbidden forces in this world. Generally speaking, very few people in Douluo Continent can control the power of time.

Possessing such power, one could even change the future. But no matter how one tries to believe it, this thirteen-year-old girl actually controls the power of time.

He glanced at the Grim Reaper who was imprisoned by copper and said, "Alright, let's end it here."

"Pollyceus, stop."

Just as the dead dragon Polykes was about to attack, it was stopped by the butterfly.

Then, everything returned to reality.

The God of Death looked at the emerging butterfly and said approvingly, "Very good, little one, you have truly defeated me in my youth. May your path to death be even longer."

The original nine tests of death were all ruined.

The First Test of Death: The Throne of the Undead

Deep within the sea of ​​flowers, over three years, one must ascend the steps, bowing with each step, all abilities except for one's martial spirit forbidden. The pain will be a thousand times greater, as one must climb step by step to reach the throne of the dead.

[Unfinished]

These are the first seven tests given by the God of Death for now; the last two tests have not yet been decided.

The God of Death said, "Now I will pass on the position of God of Death to you. My position is different from that of the Five Great God-Kings. I am a supreme god, but also at the most basic level. You don't need to inherit it now. You can absorb it whenever you want. It will only take three days. Alright, I'm leaving."

"So you're with those two from before..."

The God of Death shook his head and said, "No, you will encounter it in the future, when you become a true supreme god. The God Star is just the most basic level. If you elevate this world to the level of the God Star, you may see me at the Cosmic Gods Tournament."

The God of Death entrusted the position of the God of Death, which contained the divine essence of death, to Xia Die. After telling Xia Die a few things, he left.

The later assessments are basically unnecessary, but the assessment for the God of Death is scheduled for later; for now, the priority is to continue becoming stronger. The fact that Polycia's divine examination is also unnecessary is good news.

It seems the universe has changed quite a bit. But Tang San, is your father still in Douluo Continent now?

It's time to get rid of this pest.

Tang Hao, it's time for your life to be ended.

Now, we learn from the God of Death that Tang San was imprisoned for ten years, which means 3,650 years will have passed in the Douluo Continent. By then, the timeline of Douluo IV will probably have already passed.

[Ding, a mission has been issued: Kill Tang Hao]

[Reward: A Soul Bone Compatible with Your Character]

Oh, the system is pretty good. Now? There are two things to do at the place we need to go to. One is to kill Tang Hao. As for Ah Yin, use Tang Hao's aura to lure him away, and then kill him.

Let the mother of this dimension be completely freed.
