Haotian vs. Demon Subduing

"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes! Character-Breaking Technique!"

At this moment, Tang Hao could no longer afford to worry about his hidden injuries. Facing Demon Subduing Douluo, whose level was higher than his, he had to go all out.

Then, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes collided with the Eighth Spirit Skill. In an instant, intense energy erupted across the entire Shrek plaza.

"Seventh Brother, it seems you're still a little too impatient. There's no need to rush. If you fight steadily and carefully, you can still win."

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second elder of Spirit Hall's Offering Hall, voiced his opinion. In his view, Demon Subduing Douluo had no need to clash head-on with Tang Hao or use his ultimate move just to decide the battle so quickly.

He could have taken it slow. Fighting desperately now would only make Tang Hao desperate to bite a piece off Demon Subduing Douluo.

"Tang Hao! It seems Haotian Douluo does live up to his reputation. Although you haven't reached the Ultimate Douluo level, you do have some skill. No wonder you were able to defeat Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, as well as Qian Xunji. I have to admit, you really are formidable in terms of strength and destructive power."

When Demon Subduing Douluo saw Tang Hao use the Clear Sky Sect's inherited Self-Created Soul Skill to clash with his Eighth Spirit Skill, he had to acknowledge Tang Hao's immense destructive force and power.

"If you're afraid, leave now. Don't blame my Clear Sky Hammer for having no eyes!"

"Tang Hao, do you take me for a fool? First of all, I'm Level 96, while you're Level 95. I have the advantage in level. Besides, every Titled Douluo knows that the difference between each level is like the difference between heaven and earth. And I could tell long ago that you must still carry hidden injuries from your battles against Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum, and that little ghost. That means I don't need to fight you head-on. I only need to wear you down slowly to death, and I can still defeat you."

At this moment, Demon Subduing Douluo was certain that victory was his. There was simply no possibility of defeat.

"Damn it..." Tang Hao now understood that his weakness had been exposed. He had begun considering Ring Detonation. This was the greatest secret of the Great Sumeru Hammer, the ultimate technique that only each generation's Haotian Douluo could cultivate. It was incredibly difficult and truly counted as a Divine Technique, but using it would inflict enormous damage on his body.

In theory, it condensed all of one's Soul Rings into one and poured them all into the Clear Sky Hammer, transforming them into the purest power and attack strength. It forcibly shattered all restraints and unleashed strength beyond one's own Soul Power, overwhelming everything through sheer force.

The ultimate secret of the Great Sumeru Hammer was called Ring Detonation. By detonating Soul Rings and merging their power into an attack, it produced strength far beyond one's original limits. This was the Great Sumeru Hammer's desperate technique. Each Soul Ring could launch one attack; after all the Soul Rings had undergone Ring Detonation, the user would also enter a weakened state.

Moreover, if he still failed to defeat Demon Subduing Douluo after using it, then they would truly have no hope left. And among those present, there was not only Demon Subduing Douluo, but five other Offering Douluo as well, nearly all of whom were higher-level than him.

If they could not defeat them within the duration of the technique, then the fate awaiting them would most likely be capture by Spirit Hall.

At this moment, Tang Hao could not understand why, back when he had only just entered the Titled Douluo rank, he had been able to defeat Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo along with a Former Supreme Pontiff. Yet now, against Demon Subduing Douluo alone, whose level was only higher than his, he was being suppressed so badly.

He could not understand it. Back then, he had only just stepped into the Titled Douluo rank, and his opponents had all been Titled Douluo of higher levels. Why was the gap between Level 95 and Level 96 so great now?

Demon Subduing Douluo alone should have been weaker than Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo combined with Former Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji. He should have been somewhat weaker than those three together.

And Tang Hao had already reached Level 95, making him far stronger than before.

Yet why was it that he was still inferior to Demon Subduing Douluo, and fighting with such difficulty?

"Tang Hao, I want to ask you something. Where is that strength you once used to beat three Titled Douluo by yourself? Back then, you had only just entered the Titled Douluo rank. Yet now, you're merely a fairly impressive Super Douluo. Where did your strength go?"

Demon Subduing Douluo's words struck directly at the pain in Tang Hao's heart.

"Don't force me!"

At this moment, Tang Hao released an intense Killing God Domain.

"Don't force you? I'd like to see what qualifications you have!"

"Then give it a try! Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Tang Hao had already made up his mind to use the strongest ultimate move that only a Haotian Douluo could learn. He intended to use the Great Sumeru Hammer now, defeat Demon Subduing Douluo as quickly as possible, then take Tang San and Xiao Wu and flee as far away as they could. As long as the Great Sumeru Hammer's effect remained, even if the Douluo of the Offering Hall attacked together, he could still delay them for some time.

"This is the move even Eldest Brother feared back then!"

When Qianjun Douluo saw this move, he understood that Tang Hao was finally getting serious. This had been Tang Chen's technique. Back then, the first-generation Haotian Douluo had used this move to defeat Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.

"It seems he understands that his injuries won't let him drag this out much longer. If this continues, he'll only be defeated by Demon Subduing. That's why he intends to unleash his ultimate move in one burst."

Lightfeather Douluo voiced his opinion.

"Not good! Even if he defeats Demon Subduing, he still has us! It looks like he intends to escape! Quickly! Capture that 100,000-year Spirit Beast and that traitor!"

At this moment, Azure Luan Douluo realized why Tang Hao was unleashing his ultimate move now. He wanted to run!

"Damn it! They saw through us. Take this! Clear Sky True Body!" Tang Hao also understood that his intentions had been seen through, so he immediately unleashed his Martial Soul True Body to increase his power.

"Demon Subduing, hold him back!"

"Alright!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"Ninth Spirit Skill: Salvation of All Beings!"

At this moment, Demon Subduing Douluo also unleashed his ultimate move.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Let's attack together and release our Martial Souls!"

"Alright!"

With Golden Crocodile Douluo's command, all the Offering Douluo immediately began releasing their Martial Souls.

"You don't have any time left!"

Tang Hao used his Martial Soul True Body, followed by the Great Sumeru Hammer, Ring Detonation, and the Killing God Domain. The power of this strike was therefore tremendously great.

"Dad!" Tang San and Xiao Wu could no longer hold on either.

"Run!"
