Tang Hao's Breakdown! Tang Chen's Terrifying Strength, God War Begins!

Jialing Pass.

As the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking in the sky completely faded away, the invisible pressure hanging over the battlefield vanished with it.

The grim, iron-blooded aura once more shrouded the land.

Atop the city wall on the Spirit Hall Empire's side.

Bibi Dong watched the Asura God's aura slowly dissipate, a trace of resolve flashing through her eyes.

She knew she could wait no longer.

She abruptly raised the scepter in her hand and pointed it toward the combined forces of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire below, which stood ready in formation.

"All troops, heed my command!"

Her cold, commanding voice spread across the entire battlefield.

Woo—woo—woo—!!!

The desolate, thunderous sound of war horns rang out at that moment!

The war had officially begun!

Woo—!

The desolate horn tore through the vast sky, echoing across the boundless plains before Jialing Pass.

The torrent of war was completely ignited at that moment.

Within the ranks of the combined Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire forces, countless ordinary soldiers gripped their spears tightly, their palms drenched in sweat.

"Have you heard? Those lords from Shrek Academy will all be taking action personally this time."

A young Soldier lowered his voice as he spoke to the comrade beside him, his tone carrying both nervousness and admiration.

"Of course I've heard! Those are the legendary Shrek Seven Devils!"

The older soldier beside him licked his cracked lips, hope blazing in his eyes.

"As long as we defeat Spirit Hall, we'll be able to live good lives, right?"

"We definitely will!"

"Following Lord Sea God, following Sect Leader Tang, victory will be ours!"

The soldiers' discussions merged into a torrent, bolstering their courage to face the steel stronghold ahead.

Meanwhile.

Before the Main Tent of the allied forces, the Shrek Members wore solemn expressions.

Tang San stood at the forefront, the Sea God Trident resting at his side. Golden divine light set him off like a celestial god.

Yet his heart was filled with restlessness.

This time, he had to take Jialing Pass in one stroke and slay the Angel God!

But what his father had experienced on the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking cast a shadow over his heart.

What exactly was his father hiding from him?

Who exactly was his mother... Ah Yin?

Why was she a Spirit Beast?

And that Blood Robe Old Man who had appeared at the end—what was with the City of Slaughter aura on him?

Countless questions plagued his mind, throwing his thoughts into chaos.

However, Tang San quickly forced these distracting thoughts down.

Everything could wait until after Spirit Hall had been taken!

He raised his head and looked toward the sky.

Though the Golden Ranking had already vanished, he was utterly certain.

In terms of achievements, talent, and strength, who on this Douluo Continent could compare to him?

The first place in the Heavenly Dao Inventory—who else could it be but him?

This battle would surely be won!

With that thought, heroic spirit surged in Tang San's chest. He raised the Sea God Trident high, divine power churning as his voice spread across the entire battlefield.

"Spirit Hall has committed countless atrocities and deserves death!"

"Today, I, Sea God Tang San, shall act on behalf of Heaven!"

His divine voice rolled forth, instantly igniting the morale of the combined forces of the two empires to its peak. Their mountain-shaking cheers resounded through the clouds.

Atop the city wall of Jialing Pass.

Qian Renxue quietly listened to the provocative words below, her expression utterly unmoved.

As long as her husband was unharmed, that was the best news.

The heart she had held in suspense finally settled, and her entire being radiated ease and brightness.

The golden Angel God Armor outlined her flawless curves. Beneath her battle skirt, her long, straight legs were wrapped in divine armor, brimming with strength and sacred beauty.

Even standing still, those breathtaking curves were enough to make everything in the world pale in comparison.

Her bare Jade Feet hovered half an inch above the ground. Her ankles were crystalline, her toes rounded, specks of golden light winding around them—sacred and inviolable.

When Tang San's self-proclaimed declaration of "acting on behalf of Heaven" reached her, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.

In an instant, six Wings burst open behind her. Dazzling Golden Holy Light shot into the sky, confronting Tang San's Sea God's Light from afar!

"The glory of Spirit Hall will not tolerate slander from the likes of you!"

Her clear, authoritative voice likewise reached every corner of the battlefield.

"Kill!!"

The Soul Master Legion of the Spirit Hall Empire also saw its morale reach its peak!

For a time, two towering auras collided violently in the center of the battlefield, yet strangely maintained a balance.

The ordinary soldiers on both sides had already begun their charge, but the High-Level Combat Power that would truly determine victory—whether Tang San or Qian Renxue—remained motionless.

They were waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity to decide everything with a single strike.

Within a Secluded Secret Chamber somewhere in Jialing Pass.

"Ah—!"

Tang Hao let out a suppressed cry of agony, beads of sweat as large as beans rolling down his forehead.

He glared venomously at his empty right leg. At the wound where it had been severed at the root, Mangled Flesh mingled with golden light and bloody energy as it slowly healed.

Unwilling!

He was truly unwilling!

Heavenly Dao Reward, Level 98 Soul Power, Martial Soul Evolution, Sky-Supporting Hand!

He should have been the greatest winner of this inventory, the Son of Destiny who would trample that adulterous pair beneath his feet and restore the glory of the Clear Sky Sect!

Yet in the end, he had become a Lost Dog whose right leg had been publicly severed, fleeing in miserable defeat!

Endless resentment and humiliation gnawed at his heart like venomous snakes.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the Blood Robe Old Man guarding him nearby, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

He could clearly sense the evil aura on the other man, one that shared the same origin as the City of Slaughter.

"Senior... who exactly are you?"

Tang Hao's voice was hoarse and cautious.

The Blood Robe Old Man slowly turned around. A trace of clarity returned to the blood-colored eyes on his withered face.

"My name is Tang Chen."

Boom!

It was as if thunder had exploded in Tang Hao's mind, and his entire body froze.

Tang Chen?

The founder of the Clear Sky Sect, the ancestor who had supposedly died long ago?!

After a brief shock, wild joy surged within Tang Hao's heart!

The ancestor was still alive!

And judging by appearances, his strength was unfathomable—he might even be connected to a God!

There was hope for revenge!

"Ancestor!"

Tang Hao struggled to bow, saying excitedly, "Please uphold justice for me, Ancestor! That Spirit Beast Tang Chen joined forces with the traitor Ah Yin to bully me beyond measure and showed great disrespect to my Clear Sky Sect!

Please take action, Ancestor, and smash them to pieces to uphold our sect's divine might!"

However, Tang Chen merely shook his head.

He looked at Tang Hao with a complicated expression.

"That man... if you ever see him again, flee as far as you can."

The wild joy on Tang Hao's face instantly froze.

"Why?!"

He roared in confusion, "Ancestor, weren't you..."

"I am not his match."

Tang Chen cut him off directly, his tone carrying a helplessness that even he was unwilling to admit.

"Even after borrowing Lord Asura God's divine power, I was still utterly incapable of fighting back before him."

Tang Hao was stunned.

Resentment, unwillingness, humiliation, despair... all sorts of emotions intertwined, twisting his already pale face into something grotesque and vicious.

"This hatred... I will avenge it!"

His voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
