Tang Hao opened his mouth, wanting to roar, wanting to rage.

But with his heart shattered, in the end, he couldn't make a sound.

The Clear Sky Hammer slipped from his palm and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

As his life drew to a close, the once indestructible, impossibly heavy Clear Sky Hammer turned into the purest Soul Power and dissolved into the world.

The nine rings around his body dimmed in unison, and the Hundred-Thousand-Year red ring lost all its luster.

His overwhelming Soul Power, his killing intent, his fearsome reputation as the Clear Sky Douluo... at this moment, all were reduced to nothing!

His murky eyes, brimming with killing intent, forever lost their light.

"How is this possible... Just a trifling Soul Master..."

"Boom!"

His burly, disheveled body crashed down among the rubble.

The Clear Sky Douluo, whose name had shaken the continent, had met his end!

[Unbelievable! The host actually managed to kill Tang Hao, the master of the Douluo Continent, with nothing but Bodhisattva's Tear? There can only be one explanation: you must have another system! With only me, you could never pull off such a dazzling feat! But since you've done it, the system naturally won't skimp on rewards. To keep you from drawing the attention of God King Tang and the Divine Realm, the system will also privately grant you a little bonus!] [The host has slain the master of the continent. Rewards: 1. Ten thousand jin of strength! 2. Great Sumeru Hammer Technique, mastered! 3. Juedi Tiantong. The Douluo Continent will ascend to a higher plane, while the Divine Realm will be blocked off. Only those from the lower realm may ascend to the Divine Realm; members of the Divine Realm, including the five God Kings, will be unable to affect the lower realm in any way, by any means! The system has shut the greatest threat out of the door. Good luck, host!]

As the three rewards entered his body, Qin Yun felt his bones and sinews rumble.

Ten thousand jin of strength filled every limb and organ, and Qin Yun's physical constitution improved at a rocket's pace.

The Douluo Continent was a transcendent world that emphasized releasing Soul Power. If it were a cultivation world, it would be one that prized spell cultivators and paid little attention to body cultivators!

With ten thousand jin of strength, plus the three thousand jin he'd built up through training, he wouldn't even be strong enough to leave the beginner's village in other worlds. He wouldn't dare take on even a kindergarten's errands.

But on the Douluo Continent, that was already the level of a Soul Douluo, or even some auxiliary-type Titled Douluo.

After all, even Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island, had struggled mightily with the Sea God Trident, which weighed a hundred and eight thousand jin.

Of course, judging by combat performance—that is, by the amount of Soul Power they could release—

those who used Soul Power could unleash far more force than that!

"With this, even without a sacrifice, my physical constitution alone will let me absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"And with a body this powerful, I won't need to worry about the backlash from Twin Martial Souls, or even Triple Martial Souls.

"I can add whichever Martial Soul I want!"

As for the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique, it was essentially the Ring Detonation secret art developed by the Clear Sky Sect!

Compared with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Clear Sky Nine Decisions, Qin Yun actually valued the Great Sumeru Hammer more.

After all, the upper limit of this secret technique depended on the quality of the Soul Rings—and by an incredible stroke of luck, he had a Million-Year Soul Ring!

Previously, held back by his physical constitution, he'd only dared to raise the age of the Soul Ring bestowed by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to the thousand-year level.

But now, his First Soul Ring was already approaching fifty thousand years, and the power of his First Soul Skill had naturally risen along with it!

But when it came down to a life-or-death Ring Detonation, the power he could unleash would naturally be at the million-year level.

"Now that I've got experience improving the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, it shouldn't take long to combine the Great Sumeru Hammer with the Golden Dragon Spear!

"As for the mysterious Juedi Tiantong..."

Somewhere beyond sight, an invisible barrier seemed to envelop the entire continent. The laws of the world trembled, and all contact between the Divine Realm and the lower realm was severed.

Although Asura God in Douluo I had been more willing to follow the rules than God King Tang in Douluo II—at least he hadn't treated the laws of the Divine Realm like toilet paper—

given how eager the other party was to retire, it was better to lock him up outright.

That way, he couldn't go stirring up trouble in the Divine Realm.

Besides the system's rewards, Qin Yun hadn't forgotten the spoils on Tang Hao's body after killing him.

After all, though no one else knew it, could he, a transmigrator, really be unaware?

Tang Hao was one of the few Soul Masters with a full set of Soul Bones!

As one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars, his collection was enough to make any other Titled Douluo drool. Isn't that right, Yue Guan?

Qin Yun threw a punch, turning Tang Hao's body into a cloud of blood mist. Five glistening Soul Bones, shining like gemstones, appeared before him.

Two of them shone the brightest, their auras deep and enduring. They were the Clear Sky Sect's inherited Soul Bones.

One was a fifty-thousand-year Clear Sky Giant Elephant Left Leg Soul Bone, and the other a seventy-thousand-year Heaven-Splitting Demon Ape Right Arm Soul Bone. Both were inherited treasures the Clear Sky Sect had accumulated over generations.

They were also the inherited Soul Bones the sect had bestowed upon Tang Hao when he became one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars.

Later, when he returned to his roots, Tang Hao had gone so far as to sever his own hand and leg to forcibly remove the Soul Bones and have Tang San take them back to the sect.

"But now, they've fallen right into my hands!"

The remaining three Soul Bones were ordinary ones, each with an age of ten or twenty thousand years. Though they couldn't compare to the inherited treasures, they were still rare Power Attack System Soul Bones, a complete set without a single missing piece.

The head Soul Bone, which enhanced mental power, and the exceedingly rare torso bone were especially precious. Their age might not be high, but they were still invaluable treasures!

If they appeared at an auction, they'd cause an uproar and draw countless powerful figures into a fierce bidding war.

And with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone he'd taken earlier, Qin Yun's haul this time was nothing short of heaven-defying.

With rewards like these, Qin Yun had originally wanted to keep farming. But after asking the system, he learned that giving them to Tang San wouldn't earn him any rewards; at most, it would raise Tang San's favorability. So he gave up on the idea.

Favorability was all well and good, but with Tang San already locked in, Qin Yun had plenty of other ways. At worst, he'd spend a little time and money.

But Soul Bones weren't like that. Every one used was one less to go around.

Qin Yun wasn't quite willing to give them up for Tang San.

After putting all the spoils into his Soul Guidance Ring, Qin Yun didn't linger in the cave. He went straight down the mountain and entered Holy Soul Village.

Given Tang San's cold-hearted nature, he most likely wouldn't return to Holy Soul Village in the future, so Qin Yun wasn't worried about being exposed.

First, he bought a tender country chicken from a village shop. Then he found Old Jack and traded for a sweet, crisp water radish. After that, he found a quiet, dilapidated hut, built a fire, and set a pot over it.

He washed and chopped the Blue Silver Emperor's main roots, then put them in the pot to stew with the chicken and radish.

In less than half an hour, a pot of Chicken Stewed Blue Silver filled the air with its fragrance.

The medicinal essence of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor had all seeped into the broth. Even if it was a little lacking compared to a true Immortal Herb—

a herb's whisker should still count, right?

As long as it could raise his Soul Power, what more could he ask for?

"Drinking chicken soup really is a pleasure!"
