Self-Created Soul Skill

Tang San never forgot that it was you who exposed Xiao Wu's identity to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which drew out the sect's two Titled Douluo and led to him losing her. For years, he had been training with grueling intensity for the sole purpose of killing you, destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and rescuing Xiao Wu.

Years later, you found that while Tang San's strength had indeed grown significantly, it still paled in comparison to your own.

Long ago, you had memorized the intricacies of Tang San's deceptive hidden weapons, so when he unleashed his carefully prepared arsenal, you remained completely unruffled. Had you been inside Slaughter City, the suppression of the Asura divine power might have made these weapons troublesome, but here in Hell Road, where you could freely utilize your spirit rings and spirit skills, you easily shattered them.

Under the absolute suppression of your strength, Tang San was beaten back step by step, coughing up blood. Just as you prepared to deliver the killing blow, Tang Hao attempted to break into Hell Road to rescue him.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Hao, possessing the Domain of the Deathgod, could indeed force his way through the restrictions to save a dying Tang San. Even the King of Slaughter would not dare to forcibly obstruct him, but now, you were the one who had obtained the Asura God's trial.

Maintained by the power of the Asura God, Tang Hao failed to break the restrictions or enter Hell Road, and you ultimately succeeded in killing Tang San.

After killing Tang San, you rested briefly before pushing through Hell Road in one go, finally departing Slaughter City.

It was at this moment that you saw Tang Hao, his face filled with murderous intent. He gave you no chance to speak, lifting his Clear Sky Hammer and smashing it toward you. Left with no choice, you were forced into battle with him.

Yu Tianjue's body was sent flying instantly, crashing heavily into the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

But Yu Tianjue quickly scrambled to his feet, gasping for air while staring fixedly at Tang Hao's figure.

A spirit ring at Tang Hao's feet suddenly shattered. With the ring destroyed, Tang Hao's aura surged with significantly greater power.

So, this is some kind of secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect?

The thought flashed through Yu Tianjue's mind as he silently calculated a counter-strategy.

The next instant, Tang Hao swung that massive hammer head down directly at him.

Yu Tianjue's expression shifted slightly as his first, third, and fifth spirit rings flashed almost simultaneously.

With three amplification-type spirit skills, combined with the momentum-building effect of his first spirit skill and the boost from his Domain of the Deathgod, the sword strike he was about to unleash was the strongest he could muster at his current level!

A flash of blood-red light, so intense it appeared viscous, suddenly washed over Yu Tianjue.

The Asura Demon Sword collided with the Clear Sky Hammer with a deafening roar, and Yu Tianjue was sent flying backward once more, just as expected.

Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, was holding nothing back to avenge his son, even utilizing the divine technique of "Ring Detonation" from the very start of the fight. Yu Tianjue could naturally never be his match.

As he flew backward, a distinct trail of blood seeped from the corner of Yu Tianjue's mouth, and his aura plummeted. Yet, his eyes grew brighter, and a faint smile tugged at his lips!

He had already deduced the effect of Ring Detonation.

By detonating a spirit ring, one releases all the origin energy stored within it at once, stacking it onto a single attack to achieve a terrifying, short-lived burst of power that breaks through one's level limit.

Though he could not detonate rings, he could emulate the principle to create a divine technique of his own!

[Under the lethal pressure of Tang Hao, you finally gained an epiphany, creating a sword technique that sacrifices your own vitality and spirit power to unleash a strike capable of piercing through everything!]

[You named this sword technique Pale Blade Instant.]

[Because it was your first time using this technique, you lacked experience and drained all your spirit power along with a significant portion of your vitality. However, the sheer force of this strike was finally enough to threaten Tang Hao.]

[In this collision, Tang Hao was actually forced back by your sword, and his already battered body sustained yet another injury.]

[Just as you were no longer able to resist Tang Hao, Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong finally rushed to the scene. With Ning Fengzhi's amplification, Chen Xin and Gu Rong successfully forced Tang Hao back and rescued you from his grasp; Chen Xin's sword even left Tang Hao severely wounded.]

[As it turned out, before leaving Hell Road, you had anticipated that Tang Hao would move against you, so the moment you emerged, you sent a signal to your grandfather.]

[Facing Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were bolstered by Ning Fengzhi, a crumbling Tang Hao had no choice but to retreat.]

[The three were deeply concerned for your safety and did not rashly pursue Tang Hao, instead quickly bringing you back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. A check by a healing-type spirit master revealed that your spirit power was completely exhausted, several of your bones were fractured, and you had lost a great deal of vitality. You would need to recuperate for quite some time to return to your previous state.]

[Upon learning of this, Chen Xin was consumed by rage and decided to track down Tang Hao to kill him and avenge you.]

[But you kept Tang Hao in your heart and did not allow your grandfather to intervene. You decided to kill Tang Hao yourself.]

[This injury did not stagnate your cultivation; instead, it proved to be a blessing in disguise, allowing you to break through to level seventy in one go. You finally decided to kill Xiao Wu and absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring beyond your level. Although Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and the others tried their best to persuade you to wait, your battle with Tang Hao had instilled a sense of urgency in you. Coupled with years of tempering your physical body, you were confident you could succeed.]

[The process of killing Xiao Wu and absorbing the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was agonizing, but you persevered and successfully obtained your seventh spirit ring.]

[Seeing your exceptional talent, Ning Fengzhi decided to put your marriage to Ning Rongrong on the agenda. Although you felt you and Ning Rongrong were still young, you did not refuse the arrangements made by your elders.]

[Soon, you and Ning Rongrong were successfully wed. On the night of the wedding, Ning Rongrong poured out her heart to you, and you felt a deep tenderness for her. Thus, you spent a period of peace together.]

[But you knew your journey would not end here. Two months after the wedding, you set out once more, officially beginning your trials for godhood. Although Ning Rongrong was reluctant to see you go, she understood your aspirations and did not stop you, nor did she insist on accompanying you. She only urged you to stay safe, while she remained at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to learn how to become a qualified Sect Master.]
