Tang Hao Detonates All Nine Rings vs. Bibi Dong, Tang Hao's Miserable Defeat (Request Subscription)
"Great Sumeru Hammer, so that's how it is..."
At this moment, Luo Chen's eyes had already turned into blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan. He could tell that although the dark-red Clear Sky Hammer appeared unremarkable, it had already cast off the restraints of gravity and air resistance through absolute power, as though it had detached from space itself. Thus, every swing encountered almost no obstruction from space.
A normal attack with a Clear Sky Hammer weighing nearly ten thousand jin had to endure enormous air resistance with every swing. Not only did this consume an immense amount of power, it also slowed the swing. By the time it truly struck an opponent, its power would be reduced by at least one-third.
But after using the Great Sumeru Hammer, everything was different. It allowed the Clear Sky Hammer to escape the restraints of space. No matter how heavy it was, it would encounter no resistance at all. That was why it could tear through the air without making any sound.
This was a secret technique that could truly unleash one hundred percent of the Clear Sky Hammer's power without wasting even a trace.
Once absolute power cast off the restraints of gravity and spatial resistance, it could also produce absolute speed. In that case, the heavier the Clear Sky Hammer became, the stronger its attack power and the faster its speed would be. Unlike before, when the hammer became heavier after using the Avatar of the Weapon Soul, the enormous resistance created by its weight would slow it down.
No wonder that in the original plot, Tang Hao had not even used Ring Detonation, yet three hammer strikes had left the Level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo utterly dumbfounded. Naturally, Golden Crocodile Douluo could not see the mystery behind it.
But in Luo Chen's eyes, this secret technique of using immense power to temporarily break free from the force of space and achieve the effect of "breaking through the air" was nothing special. Still, in the world of Douluo One, it truly deserved to be called a divine skill.
After seeing through the mystery of the Great Sumeru Hammer at a glance, Luo Chen revealed a faint smile. He was not worried at all and continued watching Bibi Dong, whose long hair drifted behind her as she hovered in the air, looking beautiful and alluring.
Luo Chen knew that Tang Hao could not bring out the Great Sumeru Hammer's true power at this moment. To perfectly unleash the power of a hammer strike that broke through the air, one needed at least the strength of a Level 100 god.
Tang Hao was still far from that level. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong's Level 99 Soul Power, combined with the Nine Yin Manual, the Nine Yin Divine Claw, and the hundred-thousand-year soul bones covering her body, made her trump cards no weaker than the Great Sumeru Hammer.
Sure enough, Bibi Dong, hovering in the air, also noticed something. She immediately turned around. The seven Soul Rings of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor flashed around her, while six dark-green spider lances emerged behind her once more. Purple Soul Power erupted from her entire body as she directly met the Clear Sky Hammer's heavy strike...
Bang...
Purple Soul Power exploded and spread through the air again. The aftershock alone shattered the enormous rocks and towering trees below into pieces.
This time, Bibi Dong was not sent flying back. The six dark-green spider lances behind her actually rammed the gigantic dark-red Clear Sky Hammer back by force.
The six spider lances of Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor were clearly more powerful than the scepter in her hand. Moreover, she had become serious now, and nearly all the internal energy of the Nine Yin Manual within her had erupted. In terms of Soul Power, she had already displayed the strength of a demigod.
"What? That's impossible..."
Seeing the dark-red Clear Sky Hammer being knocked back, Tang Hao's aged and pained face became utterly shocked once again. He nearly lost his balance in the air on his only remaining left leg.
But Tang Hao recovered in an instant, and the dark-red Clear Sky Hammer had already returned to his hand.
At this moment, Tang Hao's expression became incomparably solemn. His spiritual power was released to its utmost limit, and he did not dare relax in the slightest.
Tang Hao knew that as the Clear Sky Douluo and Tang San's father, he had to win this battle no matter what.
More than ten years ago, Tang Hao had watched helplessly as his beloved A Yin died before his eyes. Now, he absolutely could not allow his son Tang San to die before him as well.
Even if this woman's strength had far exceeded his expectations...
Even if he had to gamble everything and risk his life, he had to kill this vicious woman.
"Female Pope Bibi Dong, die..."
Tang Hao roared again, gritting his teeth with all his strength as Fresh Blood flowed from his mouth. He raised the dark-red Clear Sky Hammer with both hands. At that moment, the Clear Sky Hammer, surrounded by nine flashing Soul Rings, rapidly expanded in midair and returned to the state of the Avatar of the Weapon Soul, becoming an incomparably massive dark-red Clear Sky Hammer.
Holding the enormous dark-red Clear Sky Hammer in its Avatar of the Weapon Soul state, weighing tens of thousands of jin, Tang Hao's arms bulged with veins. His eyes were furious and savage as he exerted force with his left leg again, instantly shooting forward several hundred meters.
At that moment, space itself faintly trembled. Tang Hao raised the massive dark-red Clear Sky Hammer Avatar and charged through the air once more, smashing toward Bibi Dong several hundred meters away.
The Six Wings Purple Light Wings behind Bibi Dong instantly beat. She pushed her speed to its limit, but to her surprise, the massive Clear Sky Hammer Avatar appeared before her once again.
Tang Hao held the dark-red Clear Sky Hammer Avatar, madness already flickering in his eyes. As he swung it down at Bibi Dong, the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings on the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly all exploded.
Four rings detonated at once...
Streams of black radiance crazily poured into the Clear Sky Hammer, causing the enormous dark-red Clear Sky Hammer Avatar to expand several times over again. It seemed to cover the entire sky as the surrounding space began to distort...
"Great Sumeru Hammer, Sumeru Soaring Heaven. It's over, Bibi Dong. Just like the former Female Pope Qian Xunji more than ten years ago, you will die at the hands of me, the Clear Sky Douluo..."
Bang...
As Tang Hao brought down his hammer, huge Impact Waves exploded through the air, utterly pulverizing the mountaintops on both sides and blasting up clouds of broken stone and dust. At that moment, the earth trembled faintly several times.
Seeing the vast cloud of rocks and dust being blasted toward them, Luo Chen became somewhat flustered. He hurried into the carriage, grabbed Xiao Wu's hand, and prepared to take her away.
At that moment, Sword Douluo beside them acted at once. He unleashed streams of sword-light curtains with the Seven Kill Sword, blocking every piece of flying rock and dust.
At that moment, Tang Hao, standing in the air, suddenly spat out Fresh Blood. Even the hands gripping the enormous Clear Sky Hammer began to tremble violently.
Tang Hao knew that using the Great Sumeru Hammer's ultimate technique in his current physical condition was no different from seeking death.
The Great Sumeru Hammer's ultimate technique had always been a suicidal move. Only the body of a Level 100 god could truly withstand the power of Ring Detonation. When Tang Hao defeated Qian Xunji, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo more than ten years ago, he had used the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring Detonation ultimate technique. The internal injuries he suffered then had lasted for more than ten years and still had not healed.
This time, Tang Hao knew that even if he killed Bibi Dong, he would not survive for more than a few days. Bibi Dong's Eternal Creation had severed his right leg earlier, and the wound was still spreading continuously. If not for A Yin's hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring granting him healing and recovery abilities, he would not have lasted until now.
Tang Hao recalled the tragic scene from more than ten years ago, when he and his wife A Yin had been hunted down by the former Female Pope Qian Xunji, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo. A Yin had stepped forward without hesitation, blocking the Angel Holy Sword for him and sacrificing herself.
At that moment, Tang Hao watched helplessly as kind and beautiful A Yin painfully disappeared before him, turning into his Soul Ring...
A Yin's gaze had been so loving, yet so full of reluctance and sorrow.
"Protect our child..."
Those were A Yin's final words.
Tang Hao would never forget the sight of A Yin shedding tears of love at that moment.
It was precisely because that red hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring was A Yin's Soul Ring that Tang Hao had not detonated it as well...
The next second, the enormous dark-red Clear Sky Hammer Avatar instantly dispersed, reverting into a Clear Sky Hammer as large as a water vat and returning to Tang Hao's hand.
Tang Hao weakly gripped the Clear Sky Hammer. His aged and crippled body, missing one leg, could no longer hold on and rapidly fell from the sky. At this moment, he could no longer sense Bibi Dong's presence.
Tang Hao weakly spat out blood and muttered to himself.
"I finally killed that vicious woman and vented this anger for my son Xiao San. Though I, Tang Hao, will not live for many more days either, at least I have killed two Spirit Hall Female Popes in succession. I can be considered to have avenged A Yin..."
The surrounding dust had yet to disperse. Apart from Luo Chen, Sword Douluo, and the others, no one could clearly see what had happened to Tang Hao and Bibi Dong in the air.
"Spirit Hall's most ambitious generation of Female Pope... who would have thought she would die in a place like this? The Clear Sky Sect truly is the number one sect in the world..."
Ning Fengzhi had already spotted Tang Hao in the air but did not see Bibi Dong. He sighed softly and was just about to release the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Avatar to heal Tang Hao when Sword Douluo beside him suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Wait, Sect Master. Female Pope Bibi Dong is not dead yet..."
"What..."
Ning Fengzhi's face suddenly filled with shock.
Meanwhile, after hearing those words, Flander's face revealed deep fear and disbelief.
Flander could also tell that Tang Hao had already reached his limit. If that woman was still alive...
Luo Chen merely smiled faintly. He had been observing with his Mangekyo Sharingan the entire time and had long seen through everything. He had not expected that when facing Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer Ring Detonation divine skill, Bibi Dong had not even used her Undying Body.
What had exploded in the air earlier had not only been Tang Hao's four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings. It had also been the giant scythe formed from the left and right arm bones of Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor, two hundred-thousand-year soul bones.
That powerful explosion could not only injure an opponent, but also block the opponent's attack.
As for the other soul bone skill Bibi Dong had used, which caused her entire body to radiate golden light, it should have come from the soul bone of Xiao Wu's mother, the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit.
At this moment, Tang Hao was still thinking about A Yin as he rapidly fell from the sky. Looking at the dust filling the air and feeling the intense pain wracking his body, he was just about to close his weary, aged eyes when he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.
That aura filled with deadly poison, could it be...
"No, that's impossible..."
Tang Hao suddenly widened his eyes. Just as he shouted those words, his two aged pupils abruptly contracted the next second...
A blood-red beam suddenly shot out from the ruins below like a brilliant aurora. In an instant, it pierced through Tang Hao's chest and continued straight into the clouds.
"...Impossible... Bibi Dong... How could she still be alive..."
His entire chest had been pierced through. The excruciating pain twisted Tang Hao's face into a savage grimace as he let out a powerless roar. Yet he suddenly felt his crippled body rising out of control, returning to the air.
Tang Hao's eyes suddenly filled with fear. This was the first time he had revealed such an expression...
At this moment, Bibi Dong, her purple wings beating and her beautiful, alluring body shrouded in a hazy golden glow, had already flown above his head.
The veil had already vanished from Bibi Dong's face. Her silver gauze robe was somewhat torn, exposing her snow-white skin, yet she had not been injured.
Looking at Tang Hao's panicked eyes and pale, twisted face, Bibi Dong revealed a cruel smile. With a trace of admiration in her voice, she said, "The Clear Sky Sect truly deserves to be called the number one sect in the world. It actually hid such a powerful ultimate technique. Even I had no choice but to use the two hundred-thousand-year soul bones of the Death Spider Emperor to block that strike. And the one that pierced through your chest is another of my hundred-thousand-year soul bones. Tang Hao, you have lost in the end. Even if you detonated the hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring of that soul beast wife of yours, you still could not harm me..."
"No, that's impossible... I, the Clear Sky Douluo, will never die at your hands. I still have to save Xiao San. Even if we perish together, I will never let you harm Xiao San..."
Tang Hao made indistinct sounds from his mouth. He could already feel his life force draining away rapidly as his right hand tried to grip the Clear Sky Hammer once more.
"Is that so? It seems you truly intend to detonate the hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring of that soul beast wife of yours as well. Unfortunately, you no longer have the chance."
As Bibi Dong spoke, six dark-green spider lances suddenly emerged from behind her. The six spider lances all rose at once, instantly slashing out a Half Moon-shaped dark-green radiance that directly severed the entire arm Tang Hao used to hold the hammer...
This was the First Soul Skill of Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, Half Moon...
"Pfft..."
Fresh Blood sprayed from Tang Hao's severed arm like a fountain. Tang Hao stared blankly at his severed right arm, whose hand still tightly gripped the Clear Sky Hammer, as it rapidly fell from the air...
At that moment, fear and despair appeared in Tang Hao's eyes once again.
The next second, the black Clear Sky Hammer suddenly vanished. Tang Hao's bloody right arm instantly exploded in midair, and a glowing right shoulder soul bone flew into Bibi Dong's hand.
