Qian Renchu's Clone vs. Tang Hao

In an instant, the entire square before Pope Hall turned red!

"100,000-Year Soul Ring!"

At the sight of the Soul Ring beneath Tang Hao's feet, everyone except Qian Renqin wore expressions of utter shock.

This was likely the only Soul Master with a 100,000-Year Soul Ring they would ever see in their lives!

Even Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi were included.

"As expected of my idol, Clear Sky Douluo!" A glimmer of hope and excitement lit up Yu Xiaogang's pained eyes.

Tang Hao had appeared. Liu Erlong's vengeance could finally be had!

"Father is actually this powerful!"

Tang San looked incomparably excited.

Yu Xiaogang had once told him that on this continent, any Soul Master with a 100,000-Year Soul Ring was unquestionably among the very strongest.

"Father, kill him! He killed Teacher Liu Erlong and Old Poison!" Tang San shouted with all his strength.

"Tang Hao, you are quite impressive." Qian Renchu stood calmly atop the arena. "But do you really dare flaunt a mere 100,000-Year Soul Ring before me?"

The moment these words were spoken, everyone except Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo was shocked, including Tang Hao himself!

What did Qian Renchu mean by that?

If even a 100,000-Year Soul Ring was not worth flaunting,

then was there anything left on Douluo Continent worth flaunting?

Everyone believed that Qian Renchu was simply young and arrogant, and somewhat jealous.

Jealous that Tang Hao possessed a 100,000-Year Soul Ring?!

However, in the next moment, everyone was brutally slapped in the face.

Under Qian Renchu's feet, nine Soul Rings appeared one after another: red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, gold!

"What? His first Soul Ring is a 100,000-Year Soul Ring?"

"Eight 100,000-Year Soul Rings?"

"God-Level Soul Ring!"

Almost at the same moment, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and the others cried out in shock. The final exclamation came from Bibi Dong, her voice filled with excitement.

Immediately afterward, everyone in the audience stood up.

Their eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

Eight 100,000-Year Soul Rings, and one legendary golden God-Level Soul Ring?!

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they simply would not have believed it.

"That is impossible!" Yu Xiaogang hurriedly shouted. "According to my Ten Core Competition Theories, the limit of a first Soul Ring is only four hundred years! How could there be a 100,000-Year Soul Ring?"

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang felt the confidence in his heart shatter once more.

The Ten Core Competition Theories were his life's work and masterpiece, the source of his confidence.

Yet they had been ruthlessly destroyed!

"A first Soul Ring being a 100,000-Year Soul Ring... how is that possible?" Sword Douluo was equally stunned.

"In his twenties, with eight red rings and one gold ring... an Ultimate Douluo!" Bibi Dong's body trembled. "Where exactly has that bastard been all these years?!"

Even Tang Hao, who had always remained calm, revealed traces of wariness and fear.

However, Tang Hao quickly regained his composure. "It seems I truly underestimated you. But strength is not determined by Soul Rings alone."

"Sixth Soul Skill: Heaven Shattering, Earth Splitting!"

As Tang Hao spoke, the sixth Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

The Clear Sky Hammer lying on the ground flew into Tang Hao's hand.

At that moment, dark-red lightning filled the entire sky, while the dark-red Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand rapidly expanded dozens of times over.

Then it smashed furiously toward Qian Renchu on the arena.

Tang Hao's tremendous power distorted the surrounding space in an instant, and cracks even appeared across the arena beneath Qian Renchu's feet.

The powerful shockwaves forced the spectators to retreat rapidly.

"You are quite impressive, but unfortunately, once you attack me, death is your only outcome!"

"First Soul Skill: Destruction Sky-Cleaving Slash!"

Facing Tang Hao's sixth Soul Skill, this clone of Qian Renchu used only his first Soul Skill.

Even so, it was a 100,000-year Soul Skill!

Endless Sea of Destruction energy around Qian Renchu began to frantically gather upon the Destruction Angel Sword that appeared in his hand.

The phantom behind him also rose from the Void Throne.

At this moment, everyone finally saw the true appearance of the Destruction Angel. Six wings spread from his back, his body was wrapped in pitch-black armor, and his head was concealed beneath a black cloak. Like the Destruction God King, only a pair of purple eyes could be seen.

Even those eyes made people afraid to meet his gaze.

The Destruction Angel's first impression was that of an invincible Martial Soul, unmatched between heaven and earth!

Then, the massive Destruction Angel Martial Soul wielded a forty-meter Destruction Greatsword and charged madly toward Tang Hao.

"Rumble!"

The Destruction Angel Sword and Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul collided violently.

The deafening explosion was like thunder erupting from level ground.

Violent shockwaves surged in every direction, warping even the Soul Power defensive formation that Spirit Hall's three thousand Soul Masters had just constructed!

Tang Hao's power was simply too great. Although his Soul Power Level was only ninety-five, the Clear Sky Hammer was the strongest Weapon Martial Soul in the world in terms of explosive force and attack power.

The strength of a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master far exceeded their Soul Power Level.

Otherwise, in the original story, Tang Hao could not have severely wounded Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji, along with Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo, immediately after reaching the Title Douluo level!

However, before this top-tier level ninety-six Martial Soul clone of Qian Renchu, he was still no match.

Thus, in only an instant, the Destruction Angel Greatsword sent the Clear Sky Hammer flying away.

The Destruction Angel Greatsword continued its sweep with undiminished force, slashing toward Tang Hao.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Tang Hao, whom they considered invincible, had lost in his very first exchange?

Lost to a young man in his twenties?

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Clear Sky Hammer Ultimate Technique: Clear Sky Nine Absolutes: Collapse Absolute!" Tang Hao was greatly shocked. He had not expected a young man's power to be so terrifying.

His sixth Soul Skill had not weakened the Destruction Angel Greatsword's attack in the slightest!

Thus, he hurriedly activated the seventh Soul Ring beneath his feet.

The moment the Martial Soul Avatar appeared, a Martial Soul phantom identical to Tang Hao emerged behind him!

As Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer descended once more, the enormous Clear Sky Hammer in the phantom's hand, dozens of meters long, smashed straight down as well!

"Boom!" Under the Martial Soul Avatar, Tang Hao's strength became even more terrifying.

The defensive grand formation constructed by Spirit Hall's three thousand Soul Masters collapsed in an instant.

Fortunately, figures shot over from the direction of Elder Hall, joining forces to form a new grand formation from Soul Power!

Even so, the formation remained warped, as though it might collapse at any moment.

Then, following another earth-shaking explosion, the Destruction Angel Greatsword and Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer collided violently again.

But even Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer under the Martial Soul Avatar only held out for a moment.

Then the Clear Sky Hammer phantom was shattered outright!

Seeing that things had gone badly, Tang Hao immediately tried to dodge, but he was still wounded by the sword aura of the Destruction Greatsword and sent crashing heavily to the ground.

He smashed a massive crater into the earth!!

Then the Destruction Greatsword's sword aura slashed into the sky and exploded there, its shockwaves shaking all of Spirit City!!

Everyone was stunned speechless.

Their entire bodies trembled, partly because the pressure from the battle between the two was simply too overwhelming.

More importantly, even the mighty Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao had been unable to defeat Qian Renchu, a twenty-three-year-old youth?!

An invincible legend of a generation had actually fallen in defeat.

He had lost completely. Two Soul Skills and one ultimate technique had failed to withstand even Qian Renchu's first Soul Skill!!

"Clear Sky Douluo actually lost!!" The hope Yu Xiaogang had just kindled abruptly dimmed.

He had originally believed that Clear Sky Douluo's powerful arrival would make him unstoppable, yet Tang Hao had lost directly to Qian Renchu!
