Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python Sacrifice Themselves
Tang San did not let his guard down.
Even at the moment Bibi Dong's figure completely disappeared, he maintained the full operation of his Blue Silver Perception, covering an area of dozens of miles in radius.
Only after confirming that Bibi Dong and the others' auras had moved away from this area at an extremely fast speed and completely disappeared from the edge of his perception did he slowly withdraw his domain.
Tang San's chest rose and fell slightly as he let out a long breath, relaxing from that highly tense state.
His robes were soaked with sweat. Although he had managed to stabilize the situation on the surface during his battle with Bibi Dong, the pressure of his first life-or-death battle against Peerless Douluo was far more intense than the depletion of his Soul Power and physical strength.
The two giant beasts led Tang San and his companions to the shore of the Lake of Life, where they rested against several giant trees.
A moment later, Tang San walked up to them, and without any further pleasantries, briefly explained his progress in the Divine Examination and the previous agreement.
The Divine Examination has progressed to the Fourth Trial. The Clear Sky Hammer needs to replenish its Soul Rings, and he is preparing to improve his strength as quickly as possible to face the upcoming situation.
The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python listened quietly until Tang San finished speaking, at which point the two giant beasts exchanged a glance.
The Sky Azure Bull Python slowly spoke, "We've been waiting for you. From the day you mentioned that method, I've been waiting for this day. Now that you've arrived, we have nothing to hesitate about."
The Titan Giant Ape nodded. "Me too. The core area of Star Dou Great Forest is no longer a place we can stay for long. Bibi Dong has come this time, she will come again. Rather than being hunted by her in the future, we might as well fight alongside you and ascend to the Divine Realm."
Tang San nodded, then solemnly added, "Soul Sacrifice is essential. The souls must be preserved intact within the Soul Rings. Only then, once we reach the Divine Realm, can I find a way to resurrect you."
The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python nodded simultaneously, a resolute glint in their eyes.
Xiao Wu approached them. "Da Ming, Er Ming, we will definitely succeed. It's a promise, we'll meet again in the Divine Realm."
The Titan Giant Ape stretched out its enormous hand and gently touched Xiao Wu's head.
Xiao Wu retreated to a distance.
The sacrifice began.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's body began to glow.
A blue light emanated from it and spread to its massive body.
At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape's body lit up with a golden light, which spread from its chest to its entire body.
The bodies of the two giant beasts gradually became transparent in that layer of light, their forms dissipating bit by bit, turning into countless tiny specks of light.
The bodies of the two colossal beasts transformed into countless tiny points of light, which converged into two torrents.
One was blue, carrying the power of Thunderclap and the weight of the forest; the other was golden, carrying the power of the earth and the steadiness of the mountains.
The two torrents intertwined and swirled in the air before simultaneously pouring into Tang San's body.
Tang San's body jolted violently under the impact of that energy.
Two massive energies surged into his meridians, guided directly to the Clear Sky Hammer in his left palm, which had not yet been imbued with any Soul Rings.
At the same time, two solidified energies condensed and took shape on Tang San's left and right arms.
A cyan right arm bone and a golden left arm bone appeared simultaneously, attaching themselves to Tang San's right and left arms respectively, and rapidly merging with his bones as light flowed.
An hour later, two red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings slowly pulsed on the Clear Sky Hammer, and the fusion of the Soul Bones was completely completed.
The whole process went much more smoothly than Tang San had anticipated.
After undergoing multiple Soul Bone enhancements, Divine Examination trials, and the absorption of God-Given Soul Rings, his physical strength had long surpassed the limits of ordinary Titled Douluos.
The impact of the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings was not even considered a violent shock to him.
The entire sacrificial process was completed at an unimaginable speed, with almost no obstacles encountered.
His aura surged rapidly under the infusion of that immense energy.
Level 94, level 95, and finally stopped at the peak of level 95.
The fusion of two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones directly increased his Soul Power by two levels at the Titled Douluo stage, and his physical strength also became more resilient under the nourishment of that energy.
The Clear Sky Hammer underwent a qualitative change under the enhancement of those two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.
The destructive power emanating from the hammer was even heavier than before, and the dark purple luster had deepened.
The basic weight of the Clear Sky Hammer had reached 10,000 jin when he broke through to the Titled Douluo, along with the increase in his physical strength.
Now, with the addition of two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, the weight has more than doubled, reaching 30,000 jin.
Its terrifying base weight means that even without using any Soul Skills, the sheer weight of the hammer alone is enough to overwhelm an ordinary Soul Douluo.
Tang San opened his eyes. The four Soul Skills brought by the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, as well as the four Soul Bone Skills brought by the two Soul Bones, had already taken shape deep within his consciousness.
The Sky Azure Bull Python Soul Ring's first Soul Skill, "Clear Sky Hammer Sky Azure God-Slaying Hammer," unleashes a massive azure-colored beam of destruction. This beam combines physical impact with energy annihilation, its power enough to shatter mountains in a single strike. Enemies struck by it will enter a brief state of "annihilation," their Soul Power flowing sluggishly, as if overwhelmed by the Sky Azure Bull Python's majesty, losing their will to resist for a fleeting moment.
The Sky Azure Bull Python Soul Ring's second Soul Skill, "Azure Dragon Soul," locks onto a target and unleashes a powerful swing of the Clear Sky Hammer, transforming into a phantom of the Sky Azure Bull Python, launching an unstoppable charge with overwhelming Thunderous Might. The impact unleashes an extreme shockwave, shattering anything from city walls to shields.
Titan Giant Ape Soul Ring's first Soul Skill, "Tai Tan's Hammer," is an ultimate attack of extreme power, a single-target ultimate strike that combines potential energy, shock, and destructive force. The Clear Sky Hammer instantly amplifies this by 500%, shattering all protective Soul Power and defenses. It breaks through all barriers with sheer power, without any technique, simply crushing everything with the purest force.
The Titan Giant Ape Soul Ring's second Soul Skill, "Power of the Earth," allows it to manipulate the earth beneath its feet, creating fissures, rock spikes, and gravitational pulls to restrict enemy movement over a wide area. It can also create earth-based barriers for defense. On the ground battlefield, this skill is as valuable as any offensive Soul Skill.
The first Soul Skill the Sky Azure Bull Python Right Arm Bone, "Sky Azure Annihilation Thunder," is a single-target destructive thunder technique. The Thunderclap carries destructive power and is effective against the undead and death energy. Its power is increased by 30% within the Destruction Domain. It has a natural restraining effect on Evil Soul Masters and dark creatures.
The Sky Azure Bull Python Right Arm Bone's second Soul Skill on its right arm bone, "Sky Azure Sluggish Divine Claw," is a long-range claw attack that ignores physical defense and automatically locks onto and tracks the enemy. Upon hit, the target's six senses, body, and Soul Power circulation are all slowed by ten times for ten seconds.
Titan Giant Ape Left Arm Bone's first Soul Skill, "Gravity Mire," is a Gravity Domain Soul Bone Skill that allows for the free increase or decrease of gravity within its range. It can amplify gravity by up to a hundred times, significantly suppressing the enemy's speed and strength, and also reducing the gravity of one's own side to achieve high-speed dashes.
The Titan Giant Ape Left Arm Bone's second Soul Skill, "Titan Sky Cannon," is a compressed air attack that condenses into a massive gravitational shockwave, equivalent to a full-force strike from the Titan Giant Ape itself. It deals wide-area explosive damage and can tear through low-level spatial defenses.
Feeling the eight terrifying skills that the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python had given him, Tang San's lips curled up slightly.
The eight skills cover six major categories: offensive, defensive, control, area control, ranged, and dash, almost completing his Clear Sky Hammer combat system.
