The battle between Tang Lie and Azure Luan Douluo was a clash of completely different styles from the very beginning.
On one side is the Clear Sky Hammer, as solid as a mountain, with killing intent as cold as ice, using brute force to overcome skill; on the other side is the Azure Luan Bird, as light as the wind, unpredictable, using sound to disturb the soul.
The two skipped the initial probing and went straight into a fierce, top-level confrontation. Both were well aware of their opponent's formidable strength, and therefore held nothing back.
Seventh Soul Skill: Tool Soul Avatar!
With a low roar, Tang Lie's dark red Clear Sky Hammer swelled in the wind, transforming into a ten-meter-long phantom hammer, its entire body Entanglement in dark red malevolent energy and crimson patterns, merging with his imposing body.
Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!
At the same time, the Azure Luan Douluo let out a sharp cry.
A beam of azure light shot into the sky, and his figure instantly merged perfectly with the Azure Luan Martial Soul, transforming into a giant Azure Luan with a wingspan of over fifteen meters, extraordinary in its divine might, and with pale azure vortexes and transparent sonic ripples flowing around it, exuding both agility and imposing power.
Almost at the same moment that his true form was completed, a domain of stark white with a chilling crimson hue suddenly unfolded beneath Tang Lie's feet—his Divine Slaughter's Domain!
The chilling killing intent and tangible malevolent aura spread like a tide, not only weakening the agility of the Azure Luan True Body, but also constantly interfering with the Azure Luan Douluo's concentration and Soul Power gathering.
The Azure Luan Douluo felt his body sink, but in his true form, his Soul Power was immense, greatly increasing his resistance. The Azure Luan Douluo let out a clear cry, and the wings of his enormous Azure Luan True Body suddenly flapped. Instead of charging forward, he rapidly ascended into the air to create distance, while his first and Second Soul Ring flashed in unison!
First Soul Skill, Phoenix Cry!
The Phoenix's Phoenix Cry in its true form is twice as powerful!
A visible, distorting blue sonic wave suddenly spread out from the Azure Luan, containing a strange power that paralyzes nerves and disrupts Soul Power. Its range was extremely wide, and there was no way to avoid it!
Second Soul Skill: Azure Luan Wind Blades!
Following the sound wave, countless massive cyan wind blades, condensed to the point of being tangible and with edges gleaming with cold light, poured out from under the wings like a torrential rain, covering all possible routes Tang Lie could take!
Faced with this combined attack from near and far, covering a wide area, Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammer True Body, remained unmoved.
He held the giant hammer in his hands, drawing a perfect circle in front of him. The dark red hammer shadow drew out the murderous aura of the Divine Slaughter's Domain, forming a blood-red force field shield wall.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Slaughter Formula!
"Buzz!"
The Phoenix Cry sound wave struck the crimson force field first, causing violent ripples, but most of its power was dispersed and refracted by the round and tough force.
The residual sonic impact was greatly reduced in effectiveness under the protection of Tang Lie's powerful mental strength and the inherent baleful aura of the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Immediately afterwards, a barrage of wind blades swept in!
A fierce glint flashed in Tang Lie's eyes, and the force field of the Slaughter Formula suddenly shifted from defense to offense, becoming full of elasticity and vibration!
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Shock Formula!
"Bang bang bang bang...!"
The dense impacts sounded like popping beans! The incoming wind blades crashed into the vibrating force field, but instead of penetrating, they were destabilized by the high-frequency shockwaves, and most of them exploded into scattered air currents in mid-air.
The few that managed to escape were easily repelled by Tang Lie Lie's powerful defense.
Is that all?
Tang Lie's deep voice came from his true form. He took a step forward, and the huge Clear Sky Hammer True Body, with the momentum to crush the void, suddenly launched a charge!
Despite its enormous size, thanks to the incredibly precise application of the Divine Slaughter's Domain to amplify its speed, its charging speed was astonishing, instantly closing the distance by half!
A flash of azure light appeared in the eyes of the Azure Luan Douluo's true form, indicating that the effect of long-range harassment was limited.
He folded his wings, and his true form drew a graceful arc in the air. It was not a retreat, but rather a combination of the extreme speed of the wind and the power of his true form, unleashing his ' Third Soul Skill, Azure Luan Wind Wing Assault '!
The enormous Azure Luan True Body transformed into a streak of azure lightning, its wings edge gathering sharp wind pressure capable of slicing through mountains. It met the oncoming Clear Sky Hammer True Body with a fierce attack!
He intends to unleash a thunderous strike using the extreme speed and sharpness of his true form!
Just as the two were about to collide, Tang Lie, in his Clear Sky Hammer True Body, made a move that defied common sense.
Tang Lie's charge suddenly halted, and the massive hammerhead, by the slightest margin, precisely struck the "root of power" of the Azure Luan True Body's wind wings—a point where the power was most concentrated yet least prone to deflection!
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Pierce Formula!
This wasn't a direct confrontation, but a precise "pressure point strike"! The dark red hammer light condensed at a single point, carrying the will to penetrate all defenses.
Alarm bells rang in Azure Luan Douluo's mind. He hurriedly adjusted the trajectory of his wing blades and unleashed his Soul Power within his true form.
Fifth Soul Skill: Sonic Shield!
A high-frequency vibrating shield is formed at the wing edge.
"Screech! Clang!"
First came the sharp sound of something piercing the shield, followed by a deafening clang of metal clashing!
Although the sharpness of the Pierce Formula was weakened by most of the Sonic Shield, the remaining penetrating power still made Azure Luan Douluo's wing root numb, completely disrupting the trajectory and force of the attack, and causing him to lose his balance.
How could Tang Lie let such a golden opportunity slip by? His true form clenched his left fist, and black light surged from his body!
Second Soul Skill: Hammer Soul Control!
Fifth Soul Skill: Gravity Control!
Its power and attack range surged once more, and Gravity Domain several times stronger than before instantly enveloped the unbalanced Azure Luan True Body!
The Azure Luan, whose speed was already weakened by the Divine Slaughter's Domain, was now being violently pulled to the ground by an invisible hand, and even struggling to maintain its levitation became extremely difficult!
"Stay here!" Tang Lie roared. The massive Clear Sky Hammer True Body, using the momentum of its forward charge and the amplified power of the Hammer Soul Control, drew a terrifying arc from bottom to top, as if splitting the heavens and earth!
Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Collapse Formula!
This hammer strike combined the power of the true body, the amplification of the hammer spirit, the God of Slaughter aura, and the perfect opportunity to attack created by Gravity Control!
The dark red hammer shadow seemed to fill the entire field of vision, carrying the will to destroy everything, and smashed fiercely towards the vital chest and abdomen of the Azure Luan True Body!
The Azure Luan Douluo was in great distress. Under the dual suppression of his domains and the predicament of having exhausted his old power and not yet having generated new power, he let out a sharp cry of grief, pushing his Soul Power in his true form to the limit, and desperately folding his wings to protect himself.
At the same time, its entire body emitted a bright blue light, and it tried its best to bounce backward and upward, attempting to dissipate the force.
"Boom!!!"
The Clear Sky Hammer slammed heavily onto the Azure Luan's giant wings, which were forming a cross-shaped protective barrier!
A terrifying force penetrated his body, and the Azure Luan True Body was thrown backward and upward at an even faster speed than it had come, clearly injured!
"Screech!" The Azure Luan True Body let out a cry that pierced through the clouds and shattered rocks, and with a flap of its wings, its Sixth Soul Ring lit up.
Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Clouds of the Nine Heavens!
In an instant, the world changed color! Nine enormous, silvery-white tornado pillars appeared out of thin air, connecting heaven and earth, carrying terrifying storms and sharp sonic booms that could tear everything apart, and hurtling towards Tang Lie from all directions! The range was enormous, making it difficult to dodge, and the power was astonishing!
Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Tang Lie's eyes were solemn, but he showed no fear.
Sixth Soul Skill: Martial Soul Clone!
Another clone of the Clear Sky Hammer, identical to the real body but with an equally solid and terrifying aura, suddenly appeared! The two giant hammers, one on the left and one on the right, were wielded by Tang Lie, their power amplified!
"Break!" Tang Lie and his clone swung their hammers simultaneously! Without using any specific Soul Skill, they relied solely on the pure power enhanced by their true forms and the energy manipulation techniques of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes. The two giant hammers swung like wheels, carrying the will to destroy everything, and fiercely smashed into the silver-white wind pillar that was swarming towards them!
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
The continuous explosions echoed through the sky!
The silver-white wind column and the dark red hammer shadow collided violently, and the turbulent energy completely tore apart the high-altitude clouds!
With the power of his twin hammers, Tang Lie smashed a safe zone out of the storm cage!
Although the impact caused his blood to surge and his hammer shadow to dim somewhat, he ultimately withstood the fierce attack.
Seeing that one of the strongest area-of-effect attacks, Phoenix Clouds of the Nine Heavens, was blocked by the opponent in such a brute force, Azure Luan Douluo's heart sank even further.
His true form hovered, Eighth Soul Ring began to gather a deep light, preparing to release a more powerful domain control skill, ' Eighth Soul Skill, Azure Luan Soaring, Azure Sky and Cloud Sea Sound Annihilation', attempting to create an absolute advantage in the vacuum sound domain and further weaken Tang Lie.
However, Tang Lie had experienced the trials of the Slaughter City and possessed vast combat experience. How could he possibly give Azure Luan Douluo the opportunity to calmly unleash his powerful control domain?
The moment he shattered Phoenix Clouds of the Nine Heavens, Tang Lie's eyes blazed with blood-red light, and for the first time, the terrifying red glow of his Ninth Soul Ring fully shone forth!
