Chapter 365

(First release, revisions later.)

Seeing the Clear Sky Sect's stone gate open, Zhao Zilong also tossed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud into the air. It began to expand, and a doorway opened at its base.

The Soul Masters inside the Haihan Qiankun Cover began jumping out one after another.

Bibi Dong strode in with ten Titled Douluo. On the Clear Sky Sect's side, Tang Xiao and several of the sect's elders had also arrived. Their expressions immediately turned ugly as they looked at Spirit Hall, led by Bibi Dong.

"Damn it, Spirit Hall..." Tang Xiao gritted his teeth.

Bibi Dong looked at Tang Xiao and said coldly, "Tang Xiao, your Clear Sky Sect sheltered Tang Hao after he killed Elder Ju and Elder Gui. Spirit Hall's tolerance for you has reached its limit. Today will be the end of your Clear Sky Sect."

"So this day has finally come?" The Clear Sky Sect elders all looked grim upon hearing Bibi Dong's words. "That bastard Tang Hao really knows how to cause trouble!"

The Second Elder said angrily, "Bibi Dong, Tang Hao was expelled from the Clear Sky Sect long ago. What does it have to do with our Clear Sky Sect if he killed people from Spirit Hall?"

Bibi Dong said coldly, "Then what about Tang San? That boy learned the Great Sumeru Hammer. How could he have learned such a technique without the Clear Sky Sect's permission? He is one of your Clear Sky Sect's people, isn't he?"

"What?" "The Great Sumeru Hammer?" "Damn it, that bastard Tang Hao actually taught the Great Sumeru Hammer to that little bastard." The Clear Sky Sect members' faces darkened even further. They had actually held Tang San in fairly high regard. He possessed Twin Martial Souls and exceptional talent, but they had never expected Tang Hao to casually pass the Great Sumeru Hammer on to Tang San.

"Enough nonsense." Tang Xiao was enraged as well. He said coldly, "Bibi Dong, this is the Clear Sky Sect, not your Spirit Hall. Get lost immediately, or don't blame us for being rude."

"Hmph..." Bibi Dong snorted disdainfully. Once the verbal sparring was over, she said coldly, "Clear Sky Hammer, Clear Sky Sect—today, I will make your so-called number one sect in the world vanish completely."

"Then come!" Tang Xiao did not waste any words. The moment the stone gate had been destroyed, he had known that the Clear Sky Sect faced terrible odds today. Nine Soul Rings—Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black Black—appeared beneath his feet as his Level 96 Soul Power erupted. He charged straight at Bibi Dong.

"Hmph..." Bibi Dong smiled contemptuously. She felt Tang Xiao's Soul Power and looked down on it. Nine red Soul Rings emerged beneath her feet, and the Pope's Scepter in her hand easily blocked Tang Xiao's attack.

"Nine Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings? How is that possible..." The Clear Sky Sect members were all stunned when they saw the colors of Bibi Dong's Soul Rings.

The Second Elder came to his senses and immediately shouted, "Seventh, quickly take the younger disciples of the clan through the secret passage! So what if old men like us die in battle? As long as the younger disciples survive, the Clear Sky Sect will have a day of rebirth."

"None of you will leave here alive today..." Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo also made their moves.

In an instant, battle erupted within the Clear Sky Sect. Spirit Hall's disciples charged forward desperately, but the Clear Sky Sect's terrain was too narrow and elongated, making it unsuitable for large-scale warfare.

The Clear Sky Sect had originally been a military fortress built atop a mountain for defense. Its interior was not spacious either, so even with Spirit Hall's numerical advantage, it was difficult for them to fully capitalize on it.

Spirit Hall's people also realized this. The Titled Douluo immediately broke through the elders' interception and began pushing inward.

As Zhao Zilong watched everything from the rear, the mature voice of the System Girl, which had not appeared for a long time, sounded by his ear.

Check-in Character Tang Xiao detected. Target Tang Xiao identified.

Status: Current Clear Sky Sect Leader, Sky Howling Douluo
Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer
Innate Soul Power: Level 9.5
Soul Power: Level 96
Soul Rings: Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black Black
System Evaluation: The current strongest member of the Clear Sky Sect...

As the host already possesses Innate Full Soul Power, Tang Xiao's Innate Soul Power cannot be stripped.

Option One: Strip Tang Xiao of 1 level of Soul Power. Reward: one Hundred Thousand Year Torso Bone.

Option Two: Assist Bibi Dong in killing Tang Xiao. Reward: Mystery Gift Pack...

Zhao Zilong looked at the Mystery Gift Pack in Option Two and immediately decided on the second choice. Something mysterious had to be something good. He decided, I choose Option Two...

Tang Xiao, who was fighting Bibi Dong, was also feeling the pressure. Not only were all of Bibi Dong's Soul Rings Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings, but her Soul Power had also reached Level 99. He was no match for her. After only a brief exchange, he had already been injured. He looked at Bibi Dong in disbelief. "How is this possible? Your Soul Power has actually reached Level 99? And your Soul Rings—why are they like this...?"

"Strange, isn't it? I'll tell you, then." Bibi Dong did not hide anything. In any case, the Clear Sky Sect would cease to exist after today. She said indifferently, "These are rewards after the God Exam. I have inherited the Rakshasa God's legacy, and I have now completed the Eighth Exam. Let alone you, even if your grandfather Tang Chen appeared before me, he would no longer be my match."

"The Rakshasa God?" Tang Xiao's face was full of disbelief when he heard this. He said in shock, "How is that possible? Wasn't Hundred Level Godhood merely a legend? So it was real?"

However, after his shock faded, Tang Xiao's killing intent toward Bibi Dong grew even stronger. Gritting his teeth, he said, "So what if you are the Rakshasa God's inheritor? You are not a god yet. Even if you truly were a god, I, Tang Xiao, would slay a god today. No matter who you are, I will perish together with you."

"Explode Ring..." Tang Xiao roared. A series of explosive bangs rang out as all nine of Tang Xiao's Soul Rings shattered. His Level 96 Soul Power continued rising, pouring from his body like a raging tide. After the Explode Ring, Tang Xiao's Soul Power reached a peak, and his Clear Sky Hammer became incomparably enormous.

Bibi Dong was shocked as well, because she could feel that Tang Xiao's Soul Power after exploding his rings was actually even greater than Tang Hao's had been back then. She said in astonishment, "The Great Sumeru Hammer truly is a trump card comparable to a divine skill. With merely Level 96 Soul Power, he has nearly reached Level 99 after exploding his rings?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Tang Xiao roared furiously as his Soul Power continued to rise. His entire body began turning crimson. This time, he had not merely exploded his rings—he had also used the Ultimate of Ultimates, burning his own life force and transforming it into Soul Power.

"The outcome will be decided by this strike..."
