Tang Hao, Half-Crippled, Asura Makes His Move

This was absolutely not that brat's voice, nor was it a power he had originally possessed.

This power far surpassed his own, and from the recent attack, he could even sense a divine energy that stood in direct opposition to his own Slaughter God's Domain.

The Slaughter God's Domain, according to what the Slaughter Envoy and the King of Slaughter had revealed, originated from a God King who had descended upon the Douluo Continent in ancient times to create the City of Slaughter as a place of inheritance; it belonged to the same category as the Angel God of Martial Soul Hall and the Sea God of Sea God Island.

Anyone who successfully traversed the Hell Road could obtain the Slaughter God's Domain, and if one were fortunate enough to be chosen by that deity, they could even inherit a divine trial and ascend to a godhood.

His own Slaughter God's Domain had been obtained precisely by traversing the Hell Road.

The power that brat had just unleashed was a divine energy diametrically opposed to his own slaughter-based power.

Even against a god like the God of Life, who possessed no offensive capabilities, he would be unable to contend, let alone even consider it.

"Time to flee."

As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood.

Tang Hao refused to believe that this god possessing the brat's body could be so idle—idle enough to manifest every single time he came to cause trouble for the kid.

Tang Hao retracted the Clear Sky Hammer, his nine soul rings dissipating into points of light, and he strode away with long, rapid steps, fleeing toward the outskirts of Nuoding City.

"Not good, Tang Hao is trying to escape." How could Dugu Bo and Ye Shuyuan possibly let Tang Hao leave so easily?

They had already offended Tang Hao, and with the God King present, they naturally had no reservations.

"Ye Qingzhou" saw Tang Hao attempting to flee; how could he possibly grant him such an opportunity?

"You beat people and threatened people, then want to just walk away? Since when does the world work so conveniently for you!"

A Magnolia flower hovered above "Ye Qingzhou's" palm, and four soul rings—purple, purple, purple, and black—slowly rose from beneath his feet.

"Third Soul Skill, Thousand Flower Shadows!"

"Ye Qingzhou's" third purple soul ring suddenly flared, and the Magnolia released a soft, white radiance.

His figure became illusory and extremely unreal as thousands of "Ye Qingzhou" clones detached from his main body.

Their speed was so fast that the naked eye could not track them, and they surrounded Tang Hao in a circle.

This was Ye Qingzhou's third soul skill, Thousand Flower Shadows; upon activation, he would split into dozens of figures, each possessing ten percent of the original's power.

After being empowered by the God of Life, Ye Qingzhou's Thousand Flower Shadows had been strengthened to its ultimate state.

Surrounded, Tang Hao could find no way to escape; his body trembled as he pulled out his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"You forced my hand!"

"Slaughter God's Domain!"

In an instant, the surrounding air stagnated, and blood-red killing intent surged forth like a heaven-shaking wave.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Avatar of the Martial Soul." Under the flickering of his seventh soul ring, the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand gradually evolved into a hundred-meter-long super Clear Sky Hammer.

As the hammer fell, the entire ground trembled; Nuoding City felt the aftershocks of a Title Douluo's power, causing roads to collapse and nearby houses to topple.

This intense battle disturbed the residents of Nuoding City.

Just as the houses were about to be destroyed, a strange, emerald-green energy ring enveloped them, shielding them from the ravages of the battle.

Dugu Bo and Ye Shuyuan were protected in the same manner.

"Hoo, hoo..."

Tang Hao took a deep breath, his body shrouded in smoke.

He took a step and charged out of the smoke, but he had not expected to run head-on into Ye Qingzhou the moment he emerged.

"Second Soul Skill, Falling Petals Thousand Blades!"

The remaining "Ye Qingzhou" clones rushed out from the smoke, their second thousand-year soul rings lighting up in succession.

The petals of the Magnolia detached, and thousands of sharp, blade-like petals shot out like a torrential downpour.

Watching the dense, sky-filling Falling Petals Thousand Blades, Tang Hao gripped his Clear Sky Hammer; his expression was calm, but his heart was already churning with turbulent waves.

Crack.

The eighth black ten-thousand-year soul ring at Tang Hao's feet shattered.

The Clear Sky Hammer, imbued with immense destructive power, was swung out, colliding with the rain-like Falling Petals Thousand Blades in the sky.

If this were merely an ordinary second soul skill, this ten-thousand-year level ring explosion would have made short work of it.

But what Tang Hao faced was a second soul skill empowered by a God King; its might already surpassed Tang Hao's ten-thousand-year ring explosion, crushing even the level of a hundred-thousand-year ring explosion.

The Falling Petals Thousand Blades surged in from all directions, with over a hundred petals striking the Clear Sky Hammer.

The remaining petals pierced through Tang Hao's arms, torso, and legs with lightning speed.

Pain, like that of a thousand knives, spread to every corner of Tang Hao's body.

All the soul power in his body vanished instantly when faced with "Ye Qingzhou's" Falling Petals Thousand Blades; his internal soul power was briefly sealed, the Clear Sky Hammer dissipated, and his eyes went numb, as if he had been blinded.

Losing his balance, Tang Hao collapsed heavily to the ground.

At the thought that he would actually die at the hands of a junior—a junior the same age as his own son—he felt nothing but bitter resentment!

Seeing Tang Hao fallen on the ground, Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo wore solemn expressions as Ye Qingzhou walked toward him.

He spoke indifferently, his tone devoid of any emotion: "It is time to end this."

Suddenly, a blood-red divine light descended from the sky, enveloping the unconscious and half-crippled Tang Hao.

The next moment, the divine light erupted into a blinding crimson radiance. Under its glare, Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo were forced to shield their eyes with their hands.

As the divine light dissipated, Tang Hao, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, was already gone.

Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo were well aware that the power they had just witnessed was by no means something that could be unleashed by any Titled Douluo, Peak Douluo, or even the three Peerless Douluo of their continent.

Ye Qingzhou's gaze drifted, flickering as if he were deep in thought or weighing his options.

Ye Shuyuan approached Ye Qingzhou, his tone filled with respect: "Lord God King, who was it that rescued Tang Hao just now?"

Ye Qingzhou responded with three brief words, his tone icy and detached: "It was Asura."

"I cannot remain in this little fellow's body for too long. You must be careful in all things; in the future, should anything arise, I will convey it to Ye Qingzhou through the divine trials."

Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo knelt on both knees to show their reverence for the God King:

"Yes, Lord God King."

Taking one last look at the restored Nuoding City, Ye Qingzhou closed his eyes, and a beam of emerald-green golden light extended infinitely from the top of his head, drifting upward toward the sky.

God Realm.

The God of Life gritted her teeth: "Asura..."

Her eyes were filled with fury toward Asura.

If Asura had saved anyone else, she naturally would not have said a word.

However, the one Asura had saved was a piece of trash who used the might of a Titled Douluo to bully the weak, taking a small child hostage to force his family to leave.

If such a person were not dealt with sooner, it would only plunge the lower realm into greater chaos.

The expression on the face of the God of Life shifted from initial irritation to an irrepressible resentment.

"Xiao Lu, I have come to find you."

Just as the God of Destruction stepped into the room of the God of Life as he usually did, a chilling murderous aura descended.

The God of Destruction was immediately glared back by a single look from the God of Life.
