Ring Detonation

Despair welled up in Tang Hao's heart. The injuries within him were like surging undercurrents, relentlessly eating away at his body.

His Soul Power was also draining away at a rapid pace, like fine sand slipping through an hourglass, soon to be exhausted.

If he did not leave this place of trouble immediately, he might truly perish here, bringing his glorious life to an end.

A trace of resolve flashed through Tang Hao's eyes as he ignored the turmoil in his heart.

He knew that survival was what mattered most right now. For his son, Tang San, he had to live.

His figure flashed as he withdrew his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and shot toward the distance like a bolt of black lightning.

"Zhao Yun, stop him!"

Sharp-eyed Ling Feng bellowed, shattering the tense atmosphere.

Ling Feng stared intently at Tang Hao's fleeing figure, his gaze blazing.

He had personally experienced the Clear Sky Sect's terrifying Ring Detonation divine technique. Its dreadful power still left him with lingering fear.

He knew full well that if Tang Hao escaped, there would be endless trouble in the future.

Ling Feng would never allow that to happen. Since they had provoked Tang Hao today, no matter the cost, they could not let him leave safely.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun accepted the order. A frightening gleam burst from his sharp eyes, like two unsheathed blades.

He had long been eager to join this battle, but Ling Feng's orders had forced him to suppress the fighting spirit in his heart.

Now that the order had been given, he had no more reservations. His aura abruptly soared like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Boom!

In an instant, the terrifying aura of a level ninety-eight Peak Douluo spread outward from Zhao Yun like ripples.

This aura seemed almost tangible. Wherever it reached, the air was compressed until it emitted a low hum.

Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo were caught completely off guard and staggered back again and again under the sudden aura.

"So strong!"

Shock appeared on their faces as they hurriedly summoned their respective Martial Souls, trying to withstand the overwhelming pressure.

Golden light shone around Qian Renxue as the sacred Angel Martial Soul spread out behind her, its massive wings radiating a holy brilliance.

Snake Lance Douluo gripped his Martial Soul as his soul rings flickered. He poured Soul Power into it, trying to steady himself.

Yet Zhao Yun's aura was simply too powerful. The two of them seemed so small and fragile beneath its impact.

"Damn it!"

A powerful sense of danger surged through Tang Hao as he fled desperately.

He keenly sensed the sudden dangerous aura behind him, an oppressive force that made him feel suffocated.

He did not dare pause for even a moment. Desperately urging the little Soul Power he had left, he quickened his pace and shot forward like an arrow released from the bow.

Tang Hao looked up and saw six profound black soul rings and three dazzling red soul rings encircling Zhao Yun.

That astonishing soul ring configuration made his heart sink.

He knew exactly what such a soul ring configuration meant. His opponent was undoubtedly an extraordinarily powerful foe.

Despair spread through his heart like a dark tide, gradually swallowing him whole.

But Tang Hao did not give up. Gritting his teeth, a resolute courage rose within him.

Bang! Bang!

A flash of light burst from his body as he detonated the remaining two ten-thousand-year soul rings in succession.

In an instant, an even more powerful aura erupted from him, as though an ancient beast slumbering within had awakened.

Violent Soul Power swirled around his body, and he instantly transformed into a streak of light, continuing his escape into the distance.

However, this struggle only worsened Tang Hao's injuries. His face became even paler, white as paper, while blood continuously spilled from the corners of his mouth.

Every step seemed to drain all the strength from his body, leaving behind a string of shocking bloody footprints on the ground.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Phoenix Cry Power!"

Seeing Tang Hao grow faster and faster, Zhao Yun knew he could not let him escape any longer.

The eighth Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on his body blossomed with a dazzling crimson radiance, like a blood-red sun that emitted a heart-palpitating aura.

Zhao Yun poured every last bit of Soul Power within him into the Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix Spear without holding anything back.

The long spear seemed to come alive. Its shaft trembled violently and let out a series of hums.

A noble and impassioned phoenix cry suddenly rang out.

The sound seemed to pierce through space and echo between heaven and earth.

An astonishing sight appeared. Brilliant light surged from the Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix Spear, countless rays converging before abruptly transforming into the phantom of a massive phoenix.

Blazing flames burned around the phoenix. Its fiery red feathers flickered like dancing flames, every plume radiating a noble and mysterious aura.

Its eyes were like two dazzling rubies, gleaming sharply as if they could see through all things in the world.

With a long cry, the phoenix phantom spread its wings and instantly became a streak of light. Like a burning meteor, it blasted fiercely toward the fleeing Tang Hao.

It moved so quickly that its figure was nearly impossible to catch. The air ignited from the intense heat in its wake, leaving behind a long trail of flames.

"Am I really going to die here?"

Feeling the powerful attack pursuing him like a shadow, profound despair surged through Tang Hao's heart.

He knew clearly that with his current severely wounded body, even with the power replenished by the two soul rings he had detonated earlier, he had almost no chance of blocking such a powerful attack.

Even at his peak!

Even if he detonated every soul ring on his body, he likely would not be able to withstand this indestructible force.

Tang Hao was filled with confusion. He truly had no idea who these two people were. Not only did they possess such monstrous soul ring configurations, but their strength was terrifying to this extent.

"If you want me dead, I'll drag you down with me!"

A trace of resolve surfaced in Tang Hao's heart, and a crazed ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He knew he had no way out. Rather than die so miserably and without dignity, he would use his final shred of strength to perish alongside his enemies.

Tang Hao suddenly stopped where he stood and stamped both feet heavily against the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

His face was deathly pale, and his breath was so weak it was almost imperceptible, like a candle flame in the wind that could go out at any moment.

Tang Hao slowly raised his head and gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with reluctance and concern for his son, Tang San.

He understood what this decision meant, but to leave his son a path to live, he had no other choice.

Bang!

Light flashed from his body as the final Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring exploded with a deafening crash.

An endless, violent force swept through the surroundings. It was like a demon from hell, carrying an aura that promised to destroy everything.

Wherever it passed, the ground split apart, trees were uprooted, and massive boulders were crushed into powder.

Even Ling Feng, who was far away, was caught in the force and sent rapidly flying backward like a kite with its string cut.

Snake Lance Douluo's expression changed drastically when he felt this terrifying force. He understood how dreadful it was, and if he did not protect Qian Renxue in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Without hesitation, he activated his own soul skill. His soul rings glimmered as he poured Soul Power into his Martial Soul, and a massive Soul Power barrier instantly formed before Qian Renxue.

The barrier radiated black light, its surface covered in flowing mysterious runes. Like a sturdy suit of armor, it protected Qian Renxue.

However, the force of Tang Hao's exploding soul rings was far too powerful. Under its impact, the Soul Power barrier shook continuously and let out cracking sounds, as though it might shatter at any moment.

At this moment, both Ling Feng and Snake Lance Douluo were too shocked by Tang Hao's mad actions to speak.

They had never expected Tang Hao to be so resolute that he would dare detonate all of his own soul rings.

Even they could not help but be moved by such boldness and courage.

But they understood that Tang Hao had already suffered severe injuries, and now he had detonated his final soul ring. Barring any surprise,

after this battle, he had absolutely no chance of surviving.
