The Lightning Power began to fade.
Tang Hao immediately became alert.
He sensed that something was wrong.
He quickly retreated and discovered that the Clear Sky Hammer had become somewhat lighter.
As the continent's foremost Artifact Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer itself weighed five hundred jin.
Tang Hao had used it for many years and was intimately familiar with its weight.
But now, he found that the Clear Sky Hammer's weight was somewhat different.
And that Berserk Suppression Force was fading away.
"What is going on?"
Tang Hao was puzzled.
"If you fight me, you need to watch out for invasions at all times, Tang Hao. You're finished!"
Chen Fan rose to his feet as Xiao Wu slowly climbed down from him.
Xiao Wu looked at the Book of Darkness in her hands.
Though its pages were all blank, she could feel streams of power entering her brow and protecting her soul.
"Why do I feel like I want to sacrifice myself?"
Xiao Wu did not understand.
"Could this power have done something to me?"
Xiao Wu looked toward Chen Fan, then saw Tang Hao charging at them from afar.
Chen Fan shoved her away.
Soul Power surged from his hand as he blocked the opponent's attack once more.
This time, the Clear Sky Hammer came with immense force.
The Martial Soul Avatar erupted.
With a single smashing blow, the Soul Power Shield before Chen Fan did not shatter.
The degeneration had already begun!
Based on Tang Hao's strength, he could have directly shattered Chen Fan's Soul Power Shield even without using his Martial Soul Avatar. Yet now, despite this strike, his power was so weak.
Tang Hao naturally noticed this as well, and his expression became incomparably shocked.
"What exactly did you do to me?!"
Tang Hao roared furiously.
The Ninth Spirit Ring was activating.
Bang!
After a muffled sound.
The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand shattered outright.
Unable to believe it, he summoned the Clear Sky Hammer again with Soul Power. Yet this time, what appeared was a Wooden Hammer!
When Tang Hao used his soul skills, the hammer could not withstand them at all!
"Looks like your Martial Soul has degenerated!"
Chen Fan smiled.
"Is this your ability?"
Tang Hao could not believe it, his heart crawling with dread.
He looked at the young man across from him as though he were looking at a monster.
The Darkness Domain vanished, and Divine Slaughter's Domain vanished as well.
Tang Hao felt that he needed to leave as quickly as possible and purge the invading power. Otherwise, his Martial Soul would remain forever in its current state.
Without a second thought, he chose to retreat.
Compared to teaching Chen Fan a lesson now, he felt it was better to stabilize his condition first.
Chen Fan merely smiled. It was already too late. If Tang Hao had realized what was happening within the first three minutes and purged it, perhaps his Martial Soul would not have degenerated. But now it was too late. His Martial Soul had been fixed as a Wooden Hammer.
If it happened again, it might turn into an Inflatable Hammer.
Chen Fan glanced toward Xiao Wu. Good. She had already been deeply affected by the darkness.
"I am willing to sacrifice myself!"
She looked at Chen Fan, her eyes filled with determination.
At this moment, Xiao Wu's adorable face was filled with resolve.
Her bright, watery eyes blinked without the slightest hesitation.
It was as if she wanted to sacrifice herself completely at once.
Chen Fan knew this was the influence of the Book of Darkness.
The third stage of the domain had been activated.
He had continually been planting suggestions in Xiao Wu's mind, so she had naturally been affected.
Xiao Wu was not a particularly powerful Soul Beast. Now that she had undergone Form Transformation and Re-cultivation, her Spiritual Power was only average.
Meanwhile, during his years at Spirit Hall, what he had mainly cultivated was Spiritual Power.
His Spiritual Power surpassed Xiao Wu's, which was why he could plant suggestions in her mind so smoothly.
Chen Fan nodded. Xiao Wu took his hand and led him rapidly away.
When they reached a secluded place, Chen Fan signaled that she could begin the sacrifice.
A glimmer of light radiated from Xiao Wu's body.
Her eyes were resolute as her soul power was enveloped by Chen Fan's dark power.
It could protect her soul from perishing.
Of course, reviving her would not be so easy.
She would need to undergo a transformation through the power of darkness.
When that time came, she would only become even stronger.
Perhaps the Soft Bone Rabbit would evolve directly into a Dark Rabbit.
Streams of power continuously flowed from Xiao Wu's body.
That power entered Chen Fan's body.
He did not feel anything at all.
After all, his body had endured Nine Thousand Levels of Soul Power. His physique had long surpassed what ordinary people could compare to.
The only issue was that his Spiritual Power felt somewhat torn apart.
Fortunately, this was Xiao Wu's voluntary sacrifice.
It would protect him.
If he absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring by himself, he still could not manage it with his current Spiritual Power.
Xiao Wu would become his first spirit ring.
A Spirit Domain formed.
The surrounding beasts were startled and had no choice but to retreat.
An aura burst forth wildly, covering an area twenty to thirty meters around them.
Chen Fan accepted Xiao Wu's sacrificial power.
He closed his eyes and calmly accepted her strength.
In meditation, Xiao Wu's power fused with his Martial Soul: Book of Darkness.
The power of her soul merged into the book.
Black light flickered.
Words slowly appeared on the book's second page.
They were not Imperial Script, but the writing used on the Douluo Continent.
