Background / History

Parallel World One

Tang Hao travels with his siblings Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua while returning to the Clear Sky Sect. At level 68, he considers himself unmatched among the younger generation and dismisses figures such as Ning Fengzhi, Yu Xiaogang, and Martial Soul Hall's Saintess Bibi Dong. He expects to inherit the Haotian Nine Heavens and become powerful enough to challenge the continent's established experts. 12

At an inn, he attempts to court Ah Yin after introducing himself as a member of the Clear Sky Sect. Ah Yin rejects him immediately, while Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, Ah Rou, Qian Renxue, and Wu Xian confront him. 12 13

After initially offering to fight without his Martial Soul, Tang Hao is manipulated into accepting a group battle. He summons the Clear Sky Hammer and fights alongside Tang Xiao, but is badly injured and poisoned. Bibi Dong later removes the poison from both brothers to prevent the confrontation from escalating into a sect conflict. 13 14

At Dugu Bo's ascension banquet, Tang Hao recognizes the people who defeated him previously and openly challenges Wu Xian, Bibi Dong, and Liu Erlong. Liu Erlong accepts. Tang Hao uses Explode Ring and invokes the Great Sumeru Hammer, but Liu Erlong defeats him with her Dragon Transformation secret method; Tang Wei takes him for treatment. 45 46 47

Main World

Tang Hao summons Wu Xian outside Nuoding City after witnessing Wu Xian absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. He initially intends to force Wu Xian to reveal the method, then demands that Wu Xian swear Martial Soul loyalty to the Clear Sky Sect and become its servant. Wu Xian escapes his aura suppression with a Teleportation Talisman, leaving Tang Hao unable to seize the secret he wanted. 5

He keeps watch near Shrek Academy as Tang San cultivates, placing his hopes in his son's future strength and in the restoration of the Clear Sky Sect's glory. He also considers using Xiao Wu to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring for Tang San. 59

After Ah Yin's Soul Bone is removed and her confinement is exposed, Tang Hao descends into violent madness. He destroys the Nuoding City Martial Soul Hall branch, devastates half of Nuoding City, ruins several other cities, and kills indiscriminately. 60 73

His actions turn the Clear Sky Sect against him. Tang Xiao publicly expels him and swears to kill him, while the elders hold him responsible for bringing disaster upon the sect. 79 80

Tang Hao returns as a Peerless Douluo and attacks Tang Xiao and the elders with his Slaughter Domain. The Fifth Elder self-destructs rather than be killed, taking Tang Hao's arm and severely injuring him. The blast drives Tang Hao mad and causes him to activate Asura God's power. 81

During his final battle, Tang Hao laments that he has lost his wife, father, home, and standing despite his lifelong schemes. Wu Xian delivers the fatal blow, ending his life. 82

Appearance

Tang Hao is a rugged, masculine man with an air of sinister cunning. He is commonly seen in a black cloak and is described as resembling an Evil Spirit Master when concealing his identity. 5 12

• Carries and manifests a pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer. 45
• Wears a black cloak while confronting Wu Xian outside Nuoding City. 5
• His eyes turn blood-red when enraged or driven by slaughter. 5 47
• His body is surrounded by black energy after he goes mad. 60

Personality

Tang Hao is intensely arrogant and convinced of his own superiority. As a young man, he views other rising Soul Masters as inferior, dismisses support-type Soul Masters as inherently beneath him, and believes that Bibi Dong cannot contend with him simply because she is younger and female. 12

He repeatedly underestimates opponents based on age, gender, or apparent status. He assumes the group confronting him cannot be formidable, offers to fight them without his Martial Soul, and later disrupts Dugu Bo's banquet to demand a duel against people he considers beneath him. 13 45

His pride is closely tied to the reputation of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Clear Sky Sect. When Liu Erlong suppresses him, he explodes Soul Rings rather than accept humiliation, declaring that he will prove the power of the continent's number-one weapon Martial Soul. 46

When pressured or hurt, Tang Hao becomes increasingly violent. His rage eventually develops into indiscriminate destruction and slaughter, then into madness after the Fifth Elder's self-destruction. 73 81
