Tang Feng took a deep breath, flicked his finger, and the golden bead transformed into a ball of light that sank into his body.
Golden light instantly enveloped him.
The light was soft and warm, yet it contained an irresistible majesty.
It slowly seeped into Tang Feng's body, condensing into a golden vortex in his dantian.
The vortex spun and expanded, drawing his own Soul Power to merge with it.
boom!!
In that instant, he felt as if he had been swept into a storm of energy.
The energy of God-Given Soul Ring is not simply Soul Power, but a purer and more essential source of life.
The moment it surged into Tang Feng's body, it began to frantically assault every inch of his meridians, bones, and Soul Power.
This is testing his limits.
Tang Feng gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to tame and absorb the violent energy of the Clear Sky Hammer.
The God-Given Soul Ring began to condense.
Initially, it was just a faint golden halo surrounding Tang Feng.
But as energy continued to flow into his body, the halo became more and more solid, and its color began to change!
Gold turns white, white turns yellow, yellow turns purple, and purple turns black.
When the eighth Soul Ring completely solidified into black, Tang Feng's body trembled slightly.
But this was just the beginning; the darkness did not stop, but continued to deepen and transform.
Three full days later, Tang Feng sat there motionless, letting the energy surge within his body.
The color of the Eighth Soul Ring grew darker and deeper.
When it finally broke through the limit of black and began to turn red, its companions around it all held their breath.
Red! That's the mark of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
But the God-Given Soul Ring didn't stop; the red color grew deeper and more intense.
On the sixth day, the age of the Soul Ring exceeded 200,000 years. Two golden lines appeared on the red Soul Ring. For every additional 100,000 years of Soul Ring, one more golden line would appear.
On the ninth day, three golden lines appeared, and the age of the Soul Ring exceeded 300,000 years.
On the twelfth day, four golden lines appeared, and the age of the Soul Ring exceeded 400,000 years.
Tang Feng's body began to tremble slightly. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his jaw clenched—signs that his limit was being pushed closer.
His body was telling him: That's enough, stop, you won't be able to keep going!
But he didn't stop; he kept going, pushing towards his true limit.
Just as the fifth golden pattern began to appear on the Soul Ring, blood seeped from Tang Feng's seven orifices at the same time.
Everyone tacitly paused their cultivation, their hearts pounding in their throats as they watched Tang Feng's agonizing condition, but they could only silently watch over him.
When the Eighth Soul Ring was fully formed, it was already the fifteenth day.
The Soul Ring ring hovered silently above Tang Feng, its crimson color like congealed blood.
Within this crimson expanse, five golden lines are faintly visible.
Five hundred thousand years.
When the bright red Soul Ring finally stabilized and slowly disappeared into Tang Feng's body, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
Tang Feng slowly stood up, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, and a slight smile lingered on his lips.
Zhu Zhuqing's fingertips trembled slightly, her eyes reddened, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Fool, why work so hard?"
The others gathered around.
After a long while, Tang Feng's breathing finally calmed down.
He raised his hand, grasped Zhu Zhuqing's hand, gently pressed it, and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's better than I expected."
Tang Feng flipped his right hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer was already in his grasp, its body appearing even heavier.
The hammer, originally dark gold, had now turned a bright gold, gleaming in the setting sun.
The patterns on the hammerhead are more intricate and deeper, as if engraved with some ancient law.
The entire hammer exuded a chilling aura of power; simply holding it caused the surrounding space to subtly distort.
His weight increased from 70,000 jin to 160,000 jin, his strength and physical power more than doubled, and his entire body unconsciously radiated a faint golden light.
What Tang Feng didn't know was that this was a sign that his physical strength was beginning to evolve towards a god-like level.
As his strength increased, the Fire Dragon King's divine soul, which had not been fully activated, merged with many more. The illusory image of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings in his spiritual sea expanded several times over, swirling around the enormous illusory image of the Clear Sky Hammer in his spiritual sea. His spiritual power was already close to the level of a demigod.
Tang Feng stood up, and eight Soul Ring lit up in succession beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red.
The Eighth Soul Ring, which was 500,000 years old, pulsed slowly, radiating an ancient and majestic aura.
It was more profound and heavier than the Seventh Soul Ring; just its presence alone gave people a sense of oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe.
Five hundred thousand years.
This timeframe has never been seen before in the entire history of the Douluo Continent.
Tang Feng closed his eyes and began to carefully feel the surging power within his body.
Soul Power level 86.
The 100,000-year-old Qian Jun Ant Emperor Soul Bone increased his Soul Power by about two levels. This 500,000-year-old God-Given Soul Ring increased his soul power by at least four levels.
He thought to himself: If my Soul Power foundation weren't so strong, I probably would have leveled up even more.
Immediately, the memories of the two Soul Skill he inherited surfaced in his mind.
The first Soul Skill, " Clear Sky World Annihilation," involves swinging a hammer in any direction. Within a thousand meters, space collapses and truly shatters. Everything caught in the shattered space will be torn to pieces by the broken spatial rifts.
With its power so extreme it could Space Rending, it's likely that no one in the world could defend against this hammer blow.
The downside is that it consumes nearly 40% of your Soul Power and has a limitation similar to Ring Detonation; once used, this Soul Ring cannot be used again for three days.
Soul Skill Two " Clear Sky World Suppression " is a domain-type Soul Skill. It uses the will of the Clear Sky Hammer as its core, condenses the power of Five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and transforms it into a " World Suppression Domain ".
Within this realm, one's own strength increases by 50%, while the enemy's strength decreases by 20%. Most importantly, the enemy will be forcibly imprisoned and unable to use any Soul Skill.
The range of the domain is determined by the Soul Power input by the user. With Tang Feng's current total Soul Power, consuming 20% of it can cover a range of about 500 meters and maintain it for 10 minutes.
Moreover, this domain can be superimposed on the effects of the Clear Sky Domain and the Gravity Domain.
Five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, two Soul Skill: one for destruction, and one for crowd control.
Another surprise is that Clear Sky Domain has awakened its second domain skill, Asura Hell.
The effect is that the killing intent materializes into an attack, and the skill " Asura Spinning Circle Killing Formation " can be activated: through extremely rapid rotation, the materialized killing intent is guided to form a huge blade-cutting vortex that surrounds him. The rotating array is like a huge meat grinder, and wherever it passes, it can cause devastating area damage to surrounding enemies.
At the same time, the erosive power of ice and fire within the Clear Sky Domain increased by 50%. In addition to nourishing himself, the power of ice and fire can also transfer his Soul Power to anyone within the domain.
Tang Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked down at the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and felt the unprecedented surging power within his body. An indescribable sense of pride welled up in his heart: With this hammer, where in the world can't I go?
Twenty-one years old, level 86, Five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, five top-tier Soul Bone, four of which are 100,000-year level.
Everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with shock and admiration.
Tang Jian was probably the one with the deepest feelings. He recalled how, when he was a child, in the stone house in their ancestral home, his younger brother, who was more than two years younger than him, would follow behind him practicing hammering.
Back then, Tang Feng was thin and small, and even holding a wooden hammer was difficult for him.
The person standing before him now could be considered a giant in the Douluo Continent.
Tang Feng and his companions nodded in acknowledgment, their eyes sweeping over each face.
Tang Jian, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Tai Long, Niu Zhen, Bai Chenxiang.
And there was Zhu Zhuqing, who always stood by his side.
At this moment, those bright cat eyes held only smiles and pride.
Tang Feng reached out and grasped her hand tightly.
Their fingers were intertwined.
As the sun sank into the sea, the clouds were dyed a magnificent golden-purple hue.
In the distance, in the Sea God Hall, the water mirror in front of Bo Saixi reflected everything at the foot of the mountain.
With her Level 99 Peerless Douluo perception, she could clearly sense that the power contained within that young man had reached an unbelievable level.
"His strength... is probably already comparable to mine," Bo Saixi murmured.
She had lived for over a hundred years and seen countless geniuses and powerful individuals, but she had never imagined that a twenty-one-year-old could possess such terrifying combat strength.
