Chapter 1385: The Death Knights

The Underworld King Ha Luosa remained smiling. “Do you think that you can stop me from killing you just by relying on your feeble strength? Little boy, there are at least eight thousand if not ten thousand arrogant so-called geniuses that died in my hands like you. Your ancestors had yet to be born when I started killing people.”

Tang Wulin raised his eyebrows upon hearing Ha Luosa insult his ancestors. Meanwhile, something peculiar was happening.

A golden trident rune suddenly emerged right at the center of Tang Wulin’s forehead. Soon after, Tang Wulin’s eyes turned into a strange blue-gold color.

The Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa gave out a muffled grunt. His body suddenly fell back by a few steps and he even seemed to be in a daze. In a split-second, over one-third of the underworld creatures disintegrated from the Underworld Death Domain surrounding them.

“Is that the Deity’s Backlash?” The Limit Douluo, who had been easily dominating everything from the moment he arrived, suddenly spoke with a high-pitched voice. The expression on his face as he looked at Tang was undergoing a drastic change.

Tang Wulin was nobody in the Underworld King Douluo’s eyes when he first appeared, and he had completely disregarded Tang Wulin’s presence. However, at this point, one could see the astonishment on his face and then a terrifying murderous intent.

En Ci was similarly startled. What was the significance of the Deity’s Backlash?

It implied that Godhood had made an appearance when Ha Luosa insulted Tang Wulin’s ancestors. Even though it was not protecting Tang Wulin by his side, its aura that remained in Tang Wulin’s bloodline would naturally produce a Divine-ranked effect when it was insulted.

The effect was a form of wave, a fluctuation of Divine rank. Ordinary people would not be affected at all as it would only produce an extremely powerful effect on those that had already reached Limit Douluo rank and were still attempting to cultivate divinity.

Even a man with the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa’s abilities had taken a lashing at that moment.

This was a strike from a soul’s divine origin, and Ha Luosa had suffered from quite a blow. Meanwhile, En Ci could sense that an overbearing aura, no inferior to the Dragon Clan’s Power Saber, was also suppressing his martial soul.

The aura was mild, but it was filled with an incredibly powerful suppressive force.

It was even more shocking to these Limit Douluos because conjuring a Deity’s Backlash was no easy task.

Any human that ascended to Godhood could pass their divinity to their descendants. However, the bloodline in every generation of their progeny would be diluted until it was practically nothing. At that point, it would not be possible for something like the Deity’s Backlash to happen.

According to the history of the Douluo Continent, the last person to ascend to Godhood was the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, who was also the Tang Sect’s elder, the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.

Of course, Huo Yuhao’s divinity had been passed down through his bloodline as well. There was some in the Douluo Continent and also the Star Luo Empire’s royal household, but the bloodline was extremely diluted after so many generations.

En Ci had quite a close relationship with the royal household, but he never felt that any of them had the ability to possess the Deity’s Backlash.

The appearance of the Deity’s Backlash signified that Tang Wulin’s bloodline was very close to that of a deity. Generally, it would have to be less than three generations.

If that were the case, how old was he? There was no hint of a deity in the entire Douluo Continent for three generations!

After the momentary look of bloodlust, the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa’s gaze suddenly turned greedy because he realized that the appearance of the Deity’s Backlash from Tang Wulin signified that he had an ancestor that had ascended to Godhood within the past three generations before him.

Perhaps not every person that had ascended to Godhood was in the ancient records. It was possible that someone cultivated into Godhood without anyone else’s knowledge.

If someone had truly succeeded, it would have been of the utmost importance and significance for them.

Thus, he no longer intended to kill Tang Wulin. Instead, he wished to capture him alive so he could torture and interrogate him.

Ha Luosa did not say another word, but the multifaceted, diamond-shaped, gray crystal on his forehead suddenly illuminated.

The entire Underworld Death Domain shook. Gray doors of light emerged along a circular path about one hundred meters in diameter with the Underworld King Ha Luo as the midpoint.

There was a total of twelve of these massive doors. When they opened, everything seemed to freeze. Even En Ci was slowed down for a moment, despite his cultivation base, and his holy aura was suppressed once again.

On many occasions, one would only realize one’s own failings when confronted by someone greater. No words could describe how En Ci was feeling at that moment.

All this while, he was used to being the best. Even when he had lost to Tang Wulin earlier, it was because of his lifespan and not that he had been outmatched by Tang Wulin. Nevertheless, at this exact moment, he had a genuine sense of vulnerability as he faced the Underworld King Douluo. This opponent was truly too powerful.

The huge doors opened in succession and twelve people walked out of them.

Every one of them was clad in thick, heavy battle armor that concealed their entire bodies, revealing only their dark blue eyes.

The battle armor worn by these twelve people was all black-gray in color. Gray smog dispersed into the air from their bodies. Each of them was holding a shield in his left hand and a heavy saber in his right hand.

The shield was made in the form of a monster’s skull, each a little different from the other.

These people were about four meters in height. In addition to their heavy battle armor, they exuded a feeling of intense domination.

Tang Wulin found it most terrifying that a halo appeared underneath each of these knight-like warriors clad in battle armor. The halos were all different from one another.

It was Tang Wulin’s first time seeing such a style of halo, but he could tell that they were genuine based on their aura and the feeling they gave him. Those were obviously halos that could only come from three-word battle armor!

Put simply, twelve powerhouses with three-word battle armor walked out from those twelve doors after they opened.

There was no other trace of a life source on them. The only thing he could see were those uncovered eyes within the battle armor. Their eyes were dark blue in color with a dim glimmer of light rippling out from the corners.

“Death is the motherland of all things.” Simultaneously, they raised the heavy sabers in their hands high into the air and let out a raging roar into the sky.

Following their call, the gray Underworld Death Domain suddenly turned into a ghastly blue color. Every Light Holy Dragon froze in an instant and their auras swiftly faded. Even Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Rage Domain seemed to be suppressed by the arrival of these knights.

“Kill them!” shouted the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa in a deep voice.

“The great emperor’s order is the soul’s guidance,” the twelve strange people shouted in deep voices as well. Together, they raised the shields in their left hands in sync and charged toward the center from all twelve directions at the same time.

“They’re my Twelve Death Knights. They began as skeletons and evolved into their current forms. Each of them has power equal to a Hyper Douluo. Enjoy a feast of death!”

The metamorphosis of the Underworld Death Domain, the Death Feast, was initiated!

Tang Wulin and Hu Jie could not keep their expressions from changing. They had both encountered formidable foes before, but this was their first time fighting against a genuine powerhouse like the Underworld King Douluo!

There was no doubt that the Underworld King had only just begun to devote all his efforts. On the other hand, En Ci did not seem to be able to withstand it.

En Ci heaved a sigh in his heart for he knew that he could not hold back anymore. Never mind whether he could guard Tang Wulin, he was not sure if he was capable of protecting himself.

He pointed his right hand to the sky and his left to the ground.

He slowly exhaled and yelled, “Light Up Heaven and Earth!”

Two glowing orbs suddenly illuminated the sky and the ground. At the same time, En Ci’s chest was glowing as if a golden sun had formed out of nothing. The golden radiance spread outward. Soon after, two streams of golden light suddenly appeared and beamed toward the Underworld King Ha Luosa.

The two streams of light spread out in the shape of a fan. It appeared to cover a large area, but the golden light felt like it was placing judgment.
