Father, Save Me!!!

The aftershocks of the collision between attack and defense had yet to dissipate when Human Path Killer Move: Sneak Attack Gu struck.

High in the void behind Tang San, a figure stood silently, a gourd-shaped silhouette hovering above his palm. It existed somewhere between nothingness and substance, seemingly there, yet difficult to perceive.

Seven-colored light seemed to reflect off the gourd, radiating an indescribable sense of mystery. And faintly, an indescribable sharpness could be felt within its luminous silhouette.

That sharpness could pierce and cleave all matter.

An invisible blade of light suddenly shot from the phantom gourd, instantly piercing Tang San's spiritual body.

Brilliant, strange light ate inward through the wound. Vast swathes of illusory divine consciousness flaked away, and the radiance surrounding him rapidly dimmed.

Excruciating pain instantly swept through his divine soul, and a piercing scream abruptly tore through the entire void.

"Aah!"

The two whipped their heads around at the sound, their gazes landing first on the screaming Tang San. Only by following his terrified, trembling gaze did they spot the figure concealed high in the void behind him.

"It's... you, heretic!"

Tang San staggered and drifted backward, his gaze locked on the figure in the void behind him.

Tang Hao's chest heaved violently, his heavy breathing echoing in every direction. Crimson fury flooded his eyes, and his power surged wildly out of control.

He stared fixedly at the gourd-bearing figure, his furious roar rolling like thunder across heaven and earth. "Whelp! How dare you!"

The old man's gaze fell on the figure in the void. He stood silently, watching the sudden change in the situation.

Another expert?

Tang Qingye walked through the void. With every step, flowing light gently surged around him, displaying his composure.

As his feet rose and fell, a recitation slowly flowed from his lips, each word settling into the void and softly vibrating alongside seven-colored glimmers.

"A gourd holds a thousand layers of seven-colored light; one slash cleaves floating clouds and sunders the eight wilds.

Where rainbow radiance falls, all arts perish; it sweeps away the dusty clamor and settles heaven and earth."

"Tang San, do you know what that means?"

Tang Qingye looked at the damaged divine consciousness and spoke lightly.

Everyone: Damn, what a show-off.

Na Nali licked the corner of her mouth, expressing: He's such a show-off. I love it!

Big Baby sprang out from who knew where and shouted, "I know! I know!"

Big Baby expressed that only a divine general who loved answering questions was a good divine general. Emotional value had to be maxed out!

"Tang San, your father is Sound System Douluo, and my master is Poetry-Reciting Douluo now, so he's your daddy too."

Big Baby pointed at Tang San, then at Tang Hao.

Fury churned in Tang San's chest, his blood surged upward, and-gack!

He coughed a mouthful of Sea God fragments out of his throat.

"A heretic and a little brat. You think the likes of you can insult my son? Get lost!"

High in the void, space shook violently.

An enormous Clear Sky Hammer, pitch-black and covered in dark-gold patterns, crashed down from above, smashing toward Big Baby.

Tang Hao's eyes were blood-red, and the fury filling his chest was on the verge of erupting.

The Tang Family's exclusive direct-lineage skill-Berserk Descent!

An aged, cold, stern voice suddenly rang in Tang Hao's ears.

"Tang Hao, I'm not dead yet."

Before the words had faded, countless torrents of azure origin laws slammed toward Tang Hao's actual body.

Most of Tang Hao's attention was poured into the Clear Sky Hammer. He had never expected the old man to launch a sneak attack too, and in his haste, he only managed to muster his divine power into a thin shield.

With a muffled boom, the power of origin slammed into Tang Hao's shield, instantly shattering it.

The violent power invaded his body. Tang Hao shuddered violently, a muffled grunt escaping his lips as his blood abruptly surged.

Disrupted by this blow, the Clear Sky Hammer already hurtling through the air faltered in might. Its body trembled violently, and its previously unstoppable momentum suddenly fell into disarray.

Tang Hao staggered several steps backward. A wisp of dark-red spiritual light spilled from the corner of his phantom form's mouth, and the waves of divine power around him rose and fell erratically.

He turned his head and stared fixedly at the Plane Spirit's phantom form, the fury in his eyes swelling.

"Waaah!! The way of death!"

The two plunged into battle again.

Meanwhile, Big Baby flashed over, shielding his master in front of himself.

"Master, save me!"

Tang Qingye glanced at Big Baby. Flowing light coiled around his fingertips, hand seals interlocking in layers as immense power surged from the phantom gourd in his palm.

A resonant hum spread, and seven-colored streams of light filled the sky from the gourd. Dazzling radiance swirled, spreading outward layer upon layer.

Countless colored rays intertwined and condensed into a solid, thick barrier around him. The Clear Sky Hammer slammed viciously against the seven-colored barrier's surface.

The barrier instantly shook violently, rings of colored ripples spreading wildly in every direction. Tang Qingye slid back several dozen feet as well.

Big Baby: Nice~~!

"Tang San, what I meant was... I won't need a second strike to cut you down!"

Tang Qingye steadied himself. His Slay-Tang Killer Move was already ready.

The treasured gourd exerted its power again, becoming an indestructible cage that trapped the gravely wounded Tang San inside and began frantically refining him.

Two divine swords within the gourd abruptly left their sheaths. Divine light flashed inside, intent on refining this esteemed God King into a God King Fragment Pill.

His origin was rapidly draining away. His divine consciousness was being ground out of existence.

Just then, Tang Qingye, Big Baby, and Second Baby formed hand seals simultaneously, pouring their power into the two divine swords.

The divine swords erupted with unprecedented brilliance. Sword energy tore through space and, with a slicing hiss, ignored the gourd's obstruction and slashed straight toward Tang San's proud neck.

At that final moment between life and death, he felt the agony of his head about to leave his body, along with an unprecedented threat of death that reached deep into his soul.

All of Tang San's pride, all his dignity, all his rage were utterly smashed to pieces in that instant!

He let out an extraordinarily piercing roar, filled with defiance and terror. It rang throughout the entire space, echoed inside the gourd, and even passed through the canopy of the heavens, reaching every corner of the Douluo Continent with perfect clarity: "Father, save me!!"

Tang Hao, who was battling the Plane Spirit with unrestrained relish, heard his son's wail. The tough guy whipped his head around!

Tang San was already nowhere to be seen.

The tough guy was shocked!

Where's that great big son of mine?

His gaze locked onto the Seven-Colored Gourd hovering above his opponent's palm. Divine power erupted around him as he bellowed furiously, "Open the gourd's restrictions and release him at once! If you dare touch a God Realm Enforcer, you're courting death!"

Tang Hao no longer held back. Waaah!

This was bullying a god too far!

Clear Sky secret art-Soul Rings, God Rings, I'll detonate, detonate, detonate!

"Ring Detonation!"

Tang Hao's furious roar rang out in every direction. The God Rings beneath his feet, flowing with divine radiance, cracked and shattered one after another. Each God Ring disintegrated into a torrent of dark-gold divine flames, all pouring into the Clear Sky Hammer in his hands. Agonizing pain in his divine soul and meridians swept through his entire body, only to be forcibly suppressed by his obsession with protecting his son.

Both hands gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, which had swollen to the size of a mountain, dark-gold divine patterns flowing ceaselessly around him, he roared across heaven and earth, "Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Carrying the destructive might of the detonated God Rings, the enormous hammer tore through the air and smashed viciously toward the Seven-Colored Gourd's outer wall.
