"Ring Detonation!"
When had Tang Hao ever suffered such humiliation? Furious, he unleashed his trump card without holding anything back.
His first five soul rings exploded almost simultaneously, their violent energy surging into his body and sending his cultivation soaring.
The immense power and terrifying pressure made even Chrysanthemum Douluo shudder.
He could hardly imagine that Tang Hao possessed such a powerful trump card, shattering his soul rings to temporarily increase his strength.
Was this the legendary divine technique of the Clear Sky Sect, Ring Detonation?
It was far too powerful!
"Hehehe, shattering your rings?"
"Tang Hao, you're far too naive."
"You think Ring Detonation can change your situation?"
"Today, I'll show you the truly mighty power of an Auspicious Beast."
Ye Tian did not dare underestimate the power of Ring Detonation. He shed his human form and transformed into a multicolored qilin.
The moment he revealed his original form, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth swiftly gathered, forming a vortex above his head.
As the energy vortex spun rapidly, Ye Tian's true qilin form grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually becoming a gigantic beast thirty meters tall.
Tang Hao's expression abruptly changed as he watched the scene unfold.
He had never imagined that Ye Tian was not human, but a powerful soul beast.
Was he truly the legendary Auspicious Beast?
"Tang Hao, I am the elder auspicious beast qilin!"
"Mortal, kneel before me!"
Feeling the immense strength his original form granted him, Ye Tian let out an imperious shout.
In an instant, tremendous pressure erupted from his body and crashed down on Tang Hao as though the sky itself had collapsed.
Amplified several times over by the Gravity Domain, the pressure left Tang Hao unable to control his body. His knees bent, and he slowly sank to the ground.
"There's no such thing as an Auspicious Beast!"
"I, Tang Hao, would rather die than kneel!"
"Detonate!"
Unwilling to remain on his knees, Tang Hao detonated his sixth and seventh soul rings as well.
The terrifying energy pushed his cultivation straight to level 90.
With this surge of soul power supporting him, Tang Hao unleashed his Divine Slaughter's Domain to its limit and gradually rose from the ground.
"Hmph, you don't know your own limits!"
Ye Tian gave a cold laugh and released his Evil Domain, steadily invading Tang Hao's will.
Tang Hao's expression instantly changed as he felt an invisible, evil force eroding his will.
Wasn't he an Auspicious Beast?
Why did he wield such an evil domain and power?
"Ah Yin, you see it now, don't you? He's no Auspicious Beast!"
"What Auspicious Beast in this world could wield evil power?"
"Ah Yin, don't fall for his tricks. I truly love you."
"I'll take you away right now!"
Seeing that his willpower was being affected, Tang Hao had no choice but to detonate his final soul ring.
This soul ring was around seventy thousand years old, far older than any of his previous rings.
As all the energy of the seventy-thousand-year soul ring surged into Tang Hao's body, his combat strength reached its peak. He slowly rose against the terrifying pressure, swung his Clear Sky Hammer, and leaped into the air.
At that moment, Tang Hao poured every ounce of his soul power and strength into that single strike, unleashing combat power far beyond Chrysanthemum Douluo's.
Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo were both shocked by the sight.
Neither had expected Tang Hao's divine Ring Detonation technique to be so powerful.
Would Ye Tian be unable to withstand it?
"Brat, die!"
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Tang Hao drew a deep breath and roared furiously, smashing his enormous Clear Sky Hammer toward Ye Tian.
"Qilin Claw!"
Still paying Tang Hao no heed, Ye Tian poured Titan Power, ultimate evil power, and sky azure power into his right claw and swatted through the air.
Boom!
Ye Tian's claw struck the Clear Sky Hammer, unleashing a dazzling burst of multicolored light.
The domineering, crushing might of the Clear Sky Hammer was swallowed by the auspicious aura emanating from Ye Tian.
When the multicolored light dispersed, cracks appeared in the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's grasp, and it finally shattered in his hands.
The sinister ultimate evil power traveled along Tang Hao's arm and invaded his body, eroding his heart and planting the seed of his future descent into darkness.
Pfft!
With his Clear Sky Hammer shattered, Tang Hao suffered a backlash and spat out mouthful after mouthful of blood.
At that moment, Tang Hao finally realized just how immense the gulf between him and Ye Tian truly was.
To stay alive, to grow stronger, and to take revenge someday, Tang Hao could only choose to flee.
Otherwise, once Ring Detonation's duration ended, he would undoubtedly die.
"Ah Yin, you must wait for me."
"Once my cultivation improves, I'll come back for you."
"I, Tang Hao, swear that I'll make you my wife!"
Leaving those words behind, Tang Hao fled at tremendous speed.
"Trying to run? Get back here!"
"Chrysanthemums wither, wounds cover the ground; flowers fall, and hearts break!"
Seeing Tang Hao attempt to escape, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately summoned his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul and unleashed his Ninth Soul Skill, preparing to stop him.
The Clear Sky Sect was Spirit Hall's greatest enemy.
Tang Hao was also the Clear Sky Sect's most outstanding genius. If Chrysanthemum Douluo could keep him here, he would rid Spirit Hall of a major threat.
"Get lost!"
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo still dare to block his escape, Tang Hao summoned his already cracked Clear Sky Hammer again and smashed it through the air.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill was instantly obliterated beneath the Clear Sky Hammer.
The terrifying force hurtled toward Chrysanthemum Douluo with unstoppable might.
Chrysanthemum Douluo panicked at the sight.
He tried to dodge, only to discover that the Clear Sky Hammer's pressure and Divine Slaughter's Domain had already locked onto him, leaving him unable to break free.
Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo thought the hammer was about to strike him, Ye Tian intervened.
An enormous dragon claw appeared before him, easily blocking the strike and sending Tang Hao flying once more.
Tang Hao spat out another mouthful of blood and used the force of being knocked away to hasten his escape.
"Brat, remember this!"
"I, Tang Hao, will return!"
Before his voice had faded, Tang Hao had vanished from sight.
"Bastard, who told you to interfere?"
"If I hadn't needed to save you, I would've killed Tang Hao just now."
"Look what you've done!"
Seeing that Tang Hao had escaped, Ye Tian angrily rebuked Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Ah, it's just as well that he escaped. This defeat will surely spur Tang Hao to strive harder and speed up his cultivation.
In another two or three years, Tang Hao should become a Titled Douluo. Then I can arrange for him to severely injure Qian Xunji and help Dong'er activate the Rakshasa God's inheritance.
Qian Xunji, your death isn't far off. The position of Pope will belong to my Dong'er in the end.
Bibi Dong froze as she listened to Ye Tian's thoughts.
So after all that, Ye Tian had let Tang Hao escape on purpose.
Still, considering the strength Tang Hao had just displayed...
Once he became a Titled Douluo and used Ring Detonation, he could indeed severely injure, or even kill, Qian Xunji.
It seemed that Ye Tian had planned all of this.
Ye Tian really did treat her well.
"Master, I'm sorry. I was wrong!"
Seeing Ye Tian's anger, Chrysanthemum Douluo dropped to his knees and kowtowed in apology.
If Ye Tian had not saved him just now, he would have been severely injured, if not killed.
"Since this is your first offense, I can overlook it."
"If it happens again, I'll execute you without mercy."
"You may leave the Star Dou Great Forest now. Send word to Qian Xunji and tell him we came out to have some fun and clear our heads."
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's sincere contrition, Ye Tian spared him this once, giving him a way out and demonstrating his magnanimity.
"Yes, Master!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo discreetly wiped away his cold sweat, took his leave, and departed.
"Ah Yin, you're far too naive. You nearly fell for Tang Hao's tricks."
"From now on, you'll stay by my side as a maid."
