Clear Sky Secret Skill!
Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo gazed solemnly at the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand, reinforced by Exploding Ring and radiating terrifying might.
"This move is that strong?"
Having reached the realm of Titled Douluo, it was already beyond Qian Renxue's current Soul Emperor cultivation to fully comprehend.
She could tell that Tang Hao's move was anything but simple, yet she had no idea what level it had reached.
Porcupine Douluo nodded. "Very strong."
"Though I hate to admit it, in Tang Hao's current state, if either Snake Lance or I faced him alone, we would probably perish here."
The ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer, Exploding Ring, was a bug-level ability on Douluo Continent.
At the cost of being unable to use one's soul rings for a period of time, it granted power far beyond one's own for a short while.
Combined with the might of the Great Sumeru Hammer, it was enough to allow one to fight across ranks!
This technique also carried risks.
Once the energy generated by Exploding Ring exceeded the user's physical limits, their body would explode and they would die.
Whether one could fully unleash the upper limit of this skill also depended on the user's own physical strength.
After unleashing this attack, Tang Hao's offensive power had already reached the level of Rank 97.
If he had not spent so many years in despondency, the power he could display now might have been far greater.
Even so, neither Snake Lance Douluo nor Porcupine Douluo could withstand it alone.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately grew anxious.
She looked toward the white-clad figure in the distance, undisguised worry filling her golden eyes.
Seeing Qian Renxue's concern, Snake Lance Douluo spoke to reassure her.
"Young Miss, rest assured. King Frost Extreme is stronger than either of us."
"While we have no way to deal with the Great Sumeru Hammer Tang Hao uses after Exploding Ring, he should have no problem handling it."
As he reassured her, Snake Lance Douluo could not help but feel stifled.
As Titled Douluo, they were being thoroughly suppressed by a Soul Douluo junior.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue felt somewhat relieved.
She did not doubt Snake Lance Douluo's words.
That guy was simply like that.
Although it was unbelievable for a Soul Douluo to surpass even Snake Lance Douluo in combat power—who was not a bottom-tier Titled Douluo in individual strength like Dugu Bo—
If it was him, then there would definitely be no problem.
Yet Qian Renxue's tightly clenched little hands showed that she was still uneasy.
Luo Li was indeed stronger than Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, but exactly how much stronger was he?
Porcupine Douluo had personally admitted that if he faced Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer, strengthened by Exploding Ring, alone, he would perish.
Would Luo Li emerge unscathed?
Unlike Qian Renxue's unease, Luo Li, who faced Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer head-on, did not feel the slightest fear.
"Are you forcing yourself to use this move despite your injuries from my Toad Palace Wins Laurel, even at the risk of leaving lasting damage...?"
The corners of his lips lifted, and the crimson in his silver eyes grew ever more intense.
Then come!
Let him see just how far Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer, empowered by Exploding Ring, could reach!
Battle intent surged wildly as the silver radiance of Luo Li's longsword grew even brighter.
Silver light blossomed beneath his feet, instantly enveloping them both.
A massive full moon, radiating soft, clear light, hung in the skies of the domain.
Moonlight poured down like mercury, illuminating every inch of space and filling it with a sacred, tranquil atmosphere.
Luo Li stood in the center with his sword in hand, like the god of the bright moon descending from the heavens!
Sword Domain: Wangshu Descends!
"Domain!"
Tang Hao's shock deepened as he swung the Clear Sky Hammer down.
This was not the Divine Slaughter's Domain Luo Li had released before!
That incomparably dense moonlight aura made it clear that this domain was the innate domain of the sword in his hand!
Domains were regarded as treasures in the Soul Master world, yet this man possessed two of them!
Tang Hao's understanding of the phrase "stunningly talented" was refreshed once more.
He found it difficult to imagine why such a monstrous talent had appeared in the Soul Master world!
Unlike Sword Domain: Endless Sword Ring, Sword Domain: Wangshu Descends was Luo Li's most versatile domain.
It shared the same origin as the sword technique Toad Palace Wins Laurel.
After Luo Li obtained the Asura God's inheritance, he had even drawn upon its strengths to incorporate a trace of divine intent into this sword domain.
Though it was incomplete and crude, it was undeniably an intent that had transcended the mortal realm!
Tang Hao's aura, which had surged to its peak after he used Exploding Ring, was still firmly suppressed within this sword domain.
"Wangshu, Moon Emperor God."
"I named this sword domain, which I comprehended through her name, to mean..."
"Within this sword domain, I..."
"Am the Moon God!"
As his words fell—
Within the silver sword domain, the hanging silver moon suddenly shone with dazzling frosty radiance!
Luo Li stood at the center of the sword domain beneath the silver moon, divine light sharp in his silver eyes.
He raised his sword, and this world revolved around him.
Endless moonlight poured into the blade.
"Let this sword..."
"Illuminate Ten Thousand Rivers!"
The sword qi surged forth, like another silver moon between heaven and earth.
The intense sense of danger made Tang Hao detonate all his remaining soul rings as well.
Cracks spread across his rough skin like parched earth beneath a blazing sun.
Blood trickled from the fissures.
Gritting his teeth, Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it down with a thunderous roar.
The dead silence was abruptly torn apart!
A muffled, earthshaking boom exploded like thunder erupting from the depths of the earth!
Trees were forcibly ripped apart by an invisible force and blasted to pieces.
The solid forest ground was plowed open into a long, deep ravine, its upturned edges blackened and smoking in wisps.
The air twisted and churned violently like boiling water, refracting the light into bizarre distortions.
The intense, blinding light made Qian Renxue involuntarily close her eyes.
Only after a moment did she slowly open them again.
Her vision, which had been a sheet of white, gradually cleared with time.
Where was Luo Li? How was he?
Qian Renxue hurriedly looked toward where Luo Li had been standing.
The silver sword domain had vanished without a trace, and the dense forest that had once stood there had disappeared as well.
A massive crater lay embedded in the vast earth.
Only when she saw the figure floating in the air, standing safely upon empty space, did Qian Renxue finally let out the breath she had been holding.
Luo Li stood in the void, having already recalled the Moon Devourer Sword to himself.
His white robes had not emerged entirely unscathed; several tears had appeared along the hems.
Yet not the slightest injury could be seen on his body.
His face was slightly pale as he gazed toward the distant horizon.
Tang Hao had fled.
Using the shockwave from his clash with the Great Sumeru Hammer to widen the distance, he had escaped into the distance.
But in that exchange, he had suffered the same fate as Flender.
He had permanently lost his right arm.
Moreover, the effects of Exploding Ring and the final clash had dealt tremendous damage to his internal organs.
Most of them had already been damaged; he was merely using Soul Power to keep them functioning.
Luo Li did not pursue him.
He had already gotten his wish and experienced the so-called Clear Sky Secret Skill.
Not bad.
Yet it still could not match the sword he had comprehended.
Tang Hao had already exhausted all his trump cards, while Luo Li still had more.
After all...
The Sun Eclipse Sword and the Moon Devourer Sword could be drawn at the same time!
If Tang Hao had not insisted on challenging him, he would not have lost an arm and ended up like this.
However, Luo Li did not think he had been too ruthless.
Every one of Tang Hao's moves had been aimed at taking his life. He had merely returned the favor.
If Tang Hao learned that Luo Li had never intended to fight and had only come to watch the battle—
That it was Tang Hao's own mistaken assumptions and challenge that had led to this outcome—
He would probably have his mentality explode and die on the spot.
