With things having come to this point, there was no turning back; the four members of the Golden Crocodile could not simply leave without doing anything.
"Fine! Fine, the Upper Three Sects are of one mind! Fine, don't push people too far!" Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed in anger. He knew that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully. Verbal exchanges were meaningless. Only strength could decide everything!
"Since that's the case, let's see who's truly capable when the three sects join forces!"
With a roar, Golden Crocodile Douluo held nothing back, unleashing his peak Level 98 Soul Power!
The enormous golden crocodile phantom behind Golden Crocodile Douluo instantly expanded and solidified, emitting a deafening roar, as if Ferocious Beast from the primordial era had descended upon the world.
The phantom image almost merged with the Golden Crocodile Douluo's true form, carrying a terrifying power that could crush the void and devour everything. It took the lead and launched an attack, like a moving golden mountain, carrying a gale that could tear everything apart and a surge of Soul Power, fiercely pouncing towards Tang Xiao, who was in the lead!
A great battle erupted instantly!
Tang Xiao let out a long roar, and the Clear Sky Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand. The hammer shone with a brilliant black light as he faced Golden Crocodile Douluo head-on.
Tang Lie then targeted the Azure Luan Douluo, whose aura was the most ethereal and agile. He unleashed his Divine Slaughter's Domain, which was filled with blood, and his Clear Sky Hammer slammed down with unparalleled killing intent.
Tang Ran faced off against the Demon Bear Douluo, who was known for his strength. His hammer whistled through the air, and he stood his ground against him without backing down.
Yu Yuanzhen, his entire body covered in Blue Lightning dragon scales, transforming into a bolt of lightning that struck Ghost Leopard Douluo with unparalleled dominance.
Bone Douluo stood guard beside Ning Fengzhi like a ghost, slightly distorting the space around him to deflect any attacks that might be directed at Ning Fengzhi.
As Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly, " The Seven Treasures Have Names: first, strength! second, speed! third, soul! fourth, defense! fifth, attack! sixth, enhancement!" Six dazzling rays of light precisely entered Tang Xiao's body.
In an instant, Tang Xiao felt an overwhelming force surging forth from the depths of his limbs and bones, his Soul Power instantly soaring like a raging sea.
Originally at the peak of Level 97, Ning Fengzhi's terrifying amplification of over 80% has propelled his Soul Power to surpass the threshold of Level 98!
The ancient and solemn Clear Sky Hammer in his hand emitted a deep, uncontrollable tremor from its dark body, with a layer of solidified dark golden light flowing over it.
Along the edge of the hammerhead, Sisi, dense blue-purple electric snakes spontaneously generated, moving silently and exuding a domineering and violent aura.
This was precisely the qualitative change brought about by Tang Xiao's deepened understanding of thunder power after consuming the immortal " Thunder Spirit Fruit," which was then integrated into his own Clear Sky Hammer Technique, resulting in a multiplied increase in attack power.
Facing the golden Golden Crocodile Douluo like a landslide and tsunami, Tang Xiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, showing no fear.
Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Collapse Formula!
Instead of retreating, Tang Xiao advanced, shattering the stone beneath his feet with a single step. His body arched like a bow, twisting his waist and hips, his strength reaching Qian Jun. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand drew a short, powerful arc from bottom to top.
This hammer blow, seemingly simple, contained the power to collapse mountains. On the hammerhead, dark gold light intertwined with blue-purple lightning, precisely "pointing" at the jaw of the golden crocodile king's phantom as it lunged to bite.
"Boom! Snap!"
Amidst the deafening roar was a crisp sound like shattering glass. Pure power clashed with Soul Power, erupting in a dazzling golden-black light.
The golden crocodile king phantom was actually blasted upwards by this hammer blow, the phantom fluctuated violently, and spiderweb-like fine cracks appeared on its solid head! Tang Xiao's body was as steady as a rock, and lightning flashed on the hammer, turning the force of the shock into fine lightning bolts to deflect it.
Golden Crocodile Douluo grunted, his eyes filled with even greater shock and anger. Tang Xiao, after being amplified, was now no less powerful than himself! The strange lightning crackling Entanglement the hammer made Golden Crocodile Douluo feel a tingling and stinging sensation.
" Crocodile God Sky-Rending Slash!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo changed his move with lightning speed, crossing his arms and swinging them sharply. The huge tail of the Crocodile King phantom behind him suddenly lashed out, not as a physical strike, but by drawing upon the vast and sharp metal-type Soul Power, transforming it into two intersecting, hundred-meter-long, enormous golden light blades!
The light blade tore through the sky in an "X" shape, with a sharp sound as it cut through everything, instantly sealing off all of Tang Xiao's dodging space in all directions, with the intersection point directly facing his body.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Shock Formula!
Tang Xiao's eyes were calm. Faced with the unavoidable cross slashes, he made a seemingly risky move, raising the Clear Sky Hammer high above his head, causing the hammer to vibrate rapidly and subtly at a high frequency!
Dark light and lightning mingled into a blurry halo amidst the tremors.
The moment the two golden blades of light crossed and struck, Tang Xiao suddenly pressed the trembling Clear Sky Hammer downwards. He did not block it head-on, but instead used the hammer as the center to create a strange vibrational force field.
"Buzz!!!"
A deep rumble echoed across the sky. The two golden blades of light, powerful enough to slice through mountains, seemed to have cut into an invisible, viscous colloid the moment they came into contact with the vibrating field. Their speed decreased sharply, and their sharp blades were constantly interfered with, dispersed, and disintegrated by the high-frequency shockwaves!
The light blade twisted violently, and its energy structure became unstable.
"Break!"
Just as the light blade was "shaken" and its power was scattered, Tang Xiao exhaled and spoke, changing his hammer technique again!
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes Break Formula! The Pierce Formula!
The vibrating hammer shadow suddenly subsided, all the power and lightning converging into a single point on the hammerhead. The dark light and lightning were compressed to the extreme, making the hammerhead seem like a miniature, destructive star.
With a flick of his wrist, Tang Xiao the hammer flying like a meteor, striking the weakest point in the disrupted energy veins of the light blade and penetrating it straight in!
"Sizzle! Boom!"
First came a piercing tearing sound, followed by an even more violent explosion!
Two intersecting golden light blades were pierced from the inside and detonated, turning into a rain of golden light that filled the sky.
Amidst the shockwave of the explosion, a jet-black hammer shadow Entanglement with violent lightning surged upwards, swift as lightning, aiming straight for Golden Crocodile Douluo's chest! It was the unstoppable advance of the Pierce Formula!
A warning screamed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's heart, and his palms instantly covered with thick golden scales, crossed in front of his chest to protect him.
"Clang!!!"
The hammer and palm struck together, producing a deafening sound like a great bell.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was forced to retreat repeatedly by this thrust, which combined the essence of the four techniques of Collapse, Shock, Break, and Penetrate and contained the power of thunder. His arms went numb, the golden light protecting his body flickered erratically, and his blood and qi churned in his chest.
The accompanying lightning power penetrated the defense, causing a slight stagnation in the Soul Power within Golden Crocodile Douluo's body.
" Crocodile King Prison-Suppressing Wave!"
After suffering repeated losses, Golden Crocodile Douluo was completely enraged, and his Eighth Soul Ring suddenly shone with a deep black light.
Golden Crocodile Douluo slammed his palms together, and an extremely compressed energy ball, seemingly containing flowing and rotating golden liquid, instantly condensed. It was only the size of a fist, yet it emitted a terrifying suction force and destructive fluctuations that caused the space itself to slightly collapse.
With a push of his palms, Golden Crocodile Douluo sent the golden ball flying silently toward Tang Xiao. Wherever it passed, light distorted, as if even souls were being sucked in, suppressed, and shattered!
Faced with this attack concentrated to its extreme, Tang Xiao's expression was extremely solemn.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes: Seal Formula! Slaughter Formula!
Tang Xiao stopped attacking in response to attack. Instead, he wielded the Clear Sky Hammer, creating layers of hammer shadows that formed an impenetrable barrier of black lightning, completely protecting his body.
The Seal Formula locks down space, Slaughter Formula dissipates external forces. The flowing hammer shadows embody a harmonious, resilient, and ever-renewing spirit.
The destructive golden sphere crashed into the Hammer Shadow Barrier, but instead of exploding immediately, it spun wildly, attempting to tear and penetrate the defense.
Lightning flashed on the hammer's surface, constantly eroding the power of the golden sphere. The combined power of the sealing and defense techniques weakened and neutralized its terrifying penetrating and destructive force layer by layer.
"Boom!"
Ultimately, it couldn't be completely neutralized, and the golden sphere exploded after breaking through most of the defense.
The violent impact shattered the hammer shadow barrier surrounding Tang Xiao, causing him to slide back dozens of meters. His blood and qi surged slightly, but his eyes remained bright and sharp. Relying on the two techniques of sealing and killing and his powerful physique, he managed to withstand this terrifying blow without suffering serious injury.
Upon seeing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo was horrified. He had unleashed a series of powerful Soul Skill, yet he was unable to injure or even suppress his opponent!
The lightning power on the opponent's Clear Sky Hammer was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, and that exquisite and unparalleled hammer technique, which combined strength and flexibility, pushed the power to its limit, integrating offense and defense without any flaws.
With the aid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the opponent's Soul Power was inexhaustible and his momentum was overwhelming, so he could not gain any advantage at all.
I should have brought a support character with me.
The two figures clashed high in the sky, their hammers flashing, golden light exploding, and thunder roaring. Each collision caused the wind and clouds to change color and the space to tremble.
Tang Xiao mastered the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes to a high degree, and combined with the enhanced thunder power of the Thunder Spirit Fruit, his attacks became even more explosive and penetrating.
Golden Crocodile Douluo is also a renowned Peak Douluo, with slightly superior Soul Power, rich experience, and a powerful Martial Soul.
Although Tang Xiao received a comprehensive boost from Ning Fengzhi, he could only rely on his exquisite hammer techniques and ferocious lightning-attribute attacks to barely fight Golden Crocodile Douluo to a draw, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
The battle reached a fierce stalemate, and it was impossible to determine a winner in the short term.
