Background

Tang Hao was a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect and the younger brother of Tang Xiao. Both brothers sought trials beyond the sect, but Tang Hao was selected to travel to the City of Slaughter while Tang Xiao remained behind for the sect’s future. After returning, Tang Hao rapidly caught up to Tang Xiao and acquired his sixth Soul Ring during their continental journey. 14 24

In the future he remembers, Tang Hao became Ah Yin’s partner and Tang San’s father. Ah Yin later sacrificed herself amid Spirit Hall’s pursuit, after which Tang Hao gained her Soul Ring and soul bone. Tang San eventually became a god, revived Ah Yin, and enabled Tang Hao to seize the Plane Core and become Lord of the Plane. 30

That future ended when Huo Yuhao crushed Tang Hao’s heart during their confrontation, while Ah Yin’s soul dispersed. Tang Hao then awoke twenty thousand years in the past, before Tang San’s birth, with only Soul Saint-level strength. He regarded the rebirth as an opportunity to secure Tang San’s rise, restore the Tang Family’s power, and prevent Huo Yuhao from destroying their future. 29

Appearance

Tang Hao is a broad, unkempt man with a heavily muscled bronze physique. He has also appeared in black robes while concealing his identity. 26 164 353

• Wields the massive Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
• His killing intent and Divine Slaughter’s Domain manifest as a blood-red aura. 85 94
• At Rank 96, his Soul Ring configuration is two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red ring. 353
• Lost his hammer-wielding right hand in the battle at Spirit Hall before it was restored through Tang San’s divine trial. 355 447

Personality

Tang Hao is intensely possessive, jealous, and unwilling to relinquish what he considers his. He refused to accept Ah Yin’s attachment to Tang Xiao, repeatedly intruded on their relationship, and ultimately attacked Tang Xiao and abducted Ah Yin. 32 33

His protectiveness toward Tang San is genuine but inseparable from ambition. Tang Hao sees Tang San as his son, heir, route to restoring Ah Yin, and foundation for the Tang Family’s future supremacy. He is willing to use Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, and other soul beasts as resources for that goal. 78 79 157 238

Tang Hao’s confidence is often reinforced by memories of his former authority as Lord of the Plane. This produces a reckless contempt for weaker people and a tendency to assume that force can solve any obstacle. 82 124 355

Abilities & Skills

Clear Sky Hammer

Tang Hao possesses the Clear Sky Hammer, a top-tier strength-type Tool Martial Soul. His hammer techniques allow him to fight opponents above his nominal realm, particularly when empowered by divine influence. 12 84 94

• Can use Clear Sky Bodyguard to defend himself while fighting multiple opponents. 84
• Uses Haotian Nine Arts, including Shatter Art and Shock Art. 86 91
• His Seventh Soul Skill is Martial Soul Avatar, creating a gigantic hammer-wielding phantom. 354
• Has shattered enemy Martial Souls, including several Clear Sky Hammers and Silver Hammer Douluo’s Martial Soul. 86 94

Ring Explosion and Great Sumeru Hammer

Tang Hao can detonate his Soul Rings to convert them into power for the Clear Sky Hammer, culminating in the Great Sumeru Hammer. 86 91

• Used Ring Explosion to overpower and destroy the Clear Sky Hammers of three Title Douluo elders. 86
• Can amplify his Martial Soul Avatar by detonating every ring except his seventh. 250
• The technique has a limited duration and leaves him vulnerable after its power expires. 355
• Spirit Hall developed a countermeasure: evade the empowered hammer rather than confront it directly. 355

Divine Slaughter’s Domain

Tang Hao can activate Divine Slaughter’s Domain, releasing blood-red killing intent that greatly elevates his power. 82 85

• Its pressure rose to a level comparable to a Super Douluo despite Tang Hao having only eight Soul Rings at the time. 85
• The Shura God strengthened the domain’s influence over him during the Heavenly Valley Ridge battle. 86
• Its influence eroded his conscience and contributed to his slaughter of Clear Sky Sect members. 86

Hundred-Thousand-Year Ninth Ring

Tang Hao obtained his ninth Soul Ring by killing Ah Rou, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit. 134

• Grants Invincible Golden Body, providing a period of invulnerability. 134
• Grants Teleportation, greatly improving his mobility as an assault-type Spirit Master. 134
• The ring is tied to Ah Rou’s death, making Tang Hao the object of Xiao Wu’s vengeance. 134 353

Physical Strength

Tang Hao possesses exceptional physical power even without relying solely on his Martial Soul.

• Used his bare fist to crack and destroy Tang Mie’s Clear Sky Hammer. 86
• Fought while carrying Tang San one-handed and wielding the Clear Sky Hammer with the other. 94

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Clear Sky Hammer — His primary Martial Soul and the basis of his strongest combat techniques.
• Clear Sky Sect spatial Soul Tool — A storage tool with space comparable to half a spirit-fighting arena; Tang Hao filled it with Hidden Weapons he forged for Tang San. 376

Relationships

• Tang San — Tang Hao’s son and the centerpiece of his plans for the Tang Family’s return to power. He teaches Tang San to use the Clear Sky Hammer to protect his Blue Silver Grass. 157 353
• Ah Yin — His former partner and Tang San’s mother. Tang Hao’s fixation on possessing and later resurrecting her drives many of his choices, while Ah Yin ultimately reveals hatred toward him. 33 59 157 238
• Tang Xiao — His elder brother and former companion. Their rivalry over Ah Yin escalates into betrayal, crippling injury, and mutual hatred. 32 33 91 92
• Huo Yuhao — Tang Hao’s enemy from the future. Huo Yuhao killed Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s soul was dispersed during their confrontation, prompting Tang Hao’s rebirth. 29
• Titan — Chief of the Strength Clan and Tang Hao’s fiercely loyal subordinate, who recognizes Tang Hao as his sole master. 105 131
• Xiao Wu — Ah Rou’s daughter. Tang Hao killed her mother for his ninth Soul Ring, and Xiao Wu later identifies him as her mother’s killer. 134 353
• Shura God — A divine benefactor whose power strengthens Tang Hao’s Divine Slaughter’s Domain and supports Tang San’s destined ascent. 86 125
