Identity Exposed

At such close range, Tang Hao did not even need to move. Like playing whack-a-mole, he raised the Clear Sky Hammer high and smashed it down.

The watching Soul Masters' expressions changed abruptly. They felt they were standing far too close; if that enormous hammer struck the ground, they would surely be caught in the blast. They immediately scrambled backward.

Di Tian watched the strike, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

This strike was decent enough—enough to make him take things a little more seriously.

The next moment, Di Tian's Dark Annihilation Domain swept outward, shrouding the surrounding area.

Some people who were carelessly caught within it cried out in alarm. Their bodies were swallowed by darkness and turned into skeletons that scattered across the ground in an instant.

This was the Dark Power that could devour everything.

A few unlucky people were directly expelled from Dream Space.

Xiao Wu and the others had already retreated to the side. Tang San had recovered a little strength and sat on the ground, nervously watching the massive figure his father had become. Only now did he realize just how powerful his father was—a Title Douluo with nine Soul Rings, one of which was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Seeing Tang Hao's overwhelming strength, he firmly believed that his father would not lose!

Yet the Dark Annihilation Domain also swallowed Tang Hao.

The domains collided at that moment. Tang Hao's Killing God Domain was a spiritual-type domain, while the Dark Annihilation Domain devoured all power.

The instant they clashed, the Dark Power surged like a tide and directly drowned Tang Hao's killing intent.

The moment Tang Hao was enveloped by the Dark Annihilation Domain, his expression changed sharply.

Only by experiencing it firsthand could one understand the terror of this domain.

Everything about him was rapidly weakening before this domain—even the power of his Great Sumeru Hammer!

With every passing instant, the power of his Great Sumeru Hammer dropped another degree.

Di Tian's expression remained unchanged as he watched the enormous Clear Sky Hammer crash toward him.

Light's Ruin!

A Destructive Aura erupted from his body.

Then, standing tall, he slashed fiercely at the Clear Sky Hammer.

A powerful stream of Dark Power swept forth along the blade. A Black Dragon Head condensed beside it and followed the Dark Power as it charged toward the Clear Sky Hammer, opening its jaws and releasing thunderous dragon roars.

This move was clearly empowered by the Destructive Aura.

When the Clear Sky Hammer truly descended and collided with the Dark Power, the Dark Annihilation Domain had already devoured half the force of the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Bang!

The Dark Power and the Black Dragon Head shredded the phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer and struck Tang Hao's Avatar of Martial Soul, ripping a horrifying wound directly into it.

As the Destructive Aura and Dark Power erupted within the Avatar of Martial Soul, the huge figure Tang Hao had formed immediately shattered.

At the same time, Tang Hao suffered backlash from the destruction of his Martial Soul and was sent flying as well. With a puff, bright red blood splattered through the air.

Gasp!

A wave of sharp inhalations swept through the scene.

He had lost!

The Clear Sky Douluo had actually lost!

Chen Xin and Gu Rong wore grim expressions. Tang Hao's Avatar of Martial Soul had already placed immense pressure on them, and even they could not guarantee that they could withstand it.

But that mysterious man in black robes embroidered with gold had not only taken it head-on, but had also directly destroyed Tang Hao's Avatar of Martial Soul. His strength was simply terrifying.

If they stepped forward, they would likely meet the same outcome.

Moreover, they could sense that this was not even that man's true strength.

Tang Xiao and the elders of the Clear Sky Sect all stared solemnly at Di Tian.

They had not expected that after so many years of seclusion, such a formidable figure had emerged in the world.

Tang Hao crashed heavily to the ground, just as Tang San had before.

Tang San stared at his father in stunned disbelief, unable to react for a moment.

Once he came to his senses, he forced himself up and rushed laboriously toward Tang Hao.

"Dad!"

Tang San shouted loudly, his voice filled with anguish.

Li Ming found the sight somewhat speechless. He even double-checked whether he had remembered wrong. This was Dream Space, wasn't it?

"L-Little San!"

Tang Hao was severely injured, blood constantly welling up in his throat. Unable to form a complete sentence, he wanted to remind his son that this was a dream.

But Tang San had completely lost his head and forgotten all about that. The pain in his body and every other sensation felt so real that anyone would believe it.

He suddenly turned, glaring hatefully at Di Tian as he strolled over, then immediately charged at him.

Di Tian was slightly surprised and could not help wondering whether death here meant real death.

Facing the charging Tang San, Di Tian did not even lift a finger. Dark Power spread outward and devoured Tang San in an instant.

Tang San's skeleton scattered across the ground.

The people of Shrek watched Tang San turn directly into a skeleton, and their pupils shrank. Though they knew Tang San was not dead and that this was merely a dream, sorrow still rose in their hearts.

"I did not expect there to be a Soul Beast with strength like yours in this world. It is truly surprising."

At that moment, a figure suddenly stepped out from the crowd. His calm expression instantly drew everyone's attention.

"A Soul Beast?!"

The moment those words were spoken, everyone was shocked and looked at Di Tian in disbelief.

"That can't be possible!"

Even Chen Xin, Gu Rong, the Title Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, and Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan reacted no differently from ordinary people when they heard this. Their expressions all changed as they stared at Di Tian with wariness in their eyes.

Only someone like Qian Daoliu could see through Di Tian's true nature.

Even if the others were Title Douluo, they were simply too far removed from Di Tian.

"Hmph. You are no ordinary person yourself."

Di Tian did not care that his identity had been seen through. He merely snorted, able to tell that the black-haired man in gray robes before him was no weakling. This was the instinctive perception shared between experts.

"He really is a Soul Beast!"

Hearing their exchange, everyone's expressions changed again. Di Tian had not denied it!

"A Soul Beast can be this powerful?"

"How can a Soul Beast look just like a human?!"

"Why would a humanoid Soul Beast appear in Purple Heaven City?!"

The crowd immediately erupted into commotion and retreated toward the outskirts.

"You want to test yourself against me too?"

Di Tian narrowed his eyes as he assessed Qian Daoliu. Perhaps only this man could make him truly fight.

Qian Daoliu had already walked between Tang Hao and Di Tian, clearly intending to interfere.

"You bully the weak with your strength and even refuse to spare children. This is, after all, a place for Soul Masters."

Qian Daoliu shook his head, passing judgment on Di Tian's actions.

"What is wrong with the strong defeating the weak? Isn't that exactly how you Soul Masters love to hunt Soul Beasts?"

At the mention of this, a fierce glint flashed through Di Tian's eyes.

Hearing that, Qian Daoliu actually nodded seriously. "That is indeed true."

"So, you intend to interfere in this matter?"

Di Tian asked again. Moving his body here consumed no energy, and he did not need to leave the Life Forbidden Zone, making this an excellent place for him.

But Qian Daoliu shook his head.

"I do not wish to involve myself in this matter. It is only that..."

As Qian Daoliu spoke, he suddenly turned to look at Tang Hao, who was still lying on the ground.

The next moment, light flared in his eyes. A sword of light suddenly shot out from them and pierced straight through Tang Hao's unguarded head.

This time, Tang Hao was dead beyond all doubt, his body slowly fading away.

Watching this, everyone felt their hearts tighten. They could not understand why this handsome middle-aged man had attacked a Soul Master on their side.

"This man bore a grudge against Spirit Hall and caused my son's death. You do not mind if I take action myself, do you?"

Qian Daoliu said next.

Even Di Tian was slightly taken aback. He had not expected such a twist.

Since Qian Daoliu was not here to stop him, Di Tian had no objection. The tense atmosphere on the field immediately eased.

Li Ming could not help feeling somewhat regretful as he watched. If possible, he had wanted to gather some information on Qian Daoliu.

Seeing that the battle had settled, and knowing it was time for him to make his entrance, he transformed into a white-bearded old man and manifested directly in the center of the battlefield.
