After the conclusion of the Martial Soul True Body, there is always a period of weakness. Even experts above the Soul Sage level become fragile during this time.
"Hmph! Let me experience your Haotian True Body!"
Dai Mubai seemed to teleport as he instantly appeared beside Tang Hao. A golden, spherical energy coalesced in his hand, which he pressed towards Tang Hao.
Tang Hao: "..."
Why is Dai Mubai's speed so fast? Tang Hao couldn't even keep up!
This was shocking—he was a Level 95 Super Douluo!
And yet, Dai Mubai had only activated four amplification soul skills, including the Martial Soul True Body.
Four amplification soul skills...
Thinking carefully, the theories researched by the Star Luo Imperial Family on amplifications weren't baseless after all.
"Boom..."
Tang Hao hesitated no longer. He had to eliminate Dai Mubai here today. If Dai Mubai grew into a Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo, the Haotian Sect would be in grave danger!
The first and second yellow soul rings on Tang Hao's body detonated instantly, transforming into pure energy that he absorbed.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
"Boom!"
The collision of their attacks obliterated every tree within a hundred meters.
"Tang Hao, only detonating two century-old soul rings? How little do you think of me, Dai Mubai!"
Dai Mubai charged forward again. He was completely unharmed from the previous clash. Tang Hao, however, was different—detonating two century-old soul rings left him unable to match Dai Mubai's strength.
"Cough..."
Tang Hao, already heavily injured, detonated another ring, triggering old wounds and worsening his condition.
But Tang Hao endured it, suppressing his pain with just a cough.
"Strike while he's weak!"
Seeing this, Dai Mubai's power surged further.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Tang Hao's eyes glowed red as he detonated his third through sixth rings. Two purple and two black soul rings burst into energy, instantly elevating his power to a new height.
"You're panicking!" Dai Mubai said with a smile.
"Kid, you must die here today."
Tang Hao raised the Haotian Hammer high, spinning it in the air before smashing it towards Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai, seemingly reckless, charged straight into the incoming hammer. Tang Hao, however, failed to notice the mocking smile at the corner of Dai Mubai's lips and the scorn in his eyes.
The next moment, the Haotian Hammer collided with Dai Mubai. His body flew uncontrollably, like a broken sack blown away by the wind.
Seeing this, Tang Hao was overjoyed!
No matter how strong a Soul Saint was, their strength had its limits. The next blow would bury Dai Mubai here once and for all!
Tang Hao detonated his seventh, eighth, and ninth rings simultaneously—his Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year soul rings. At this moment, Tang Hao's attack power reached the pinnacle of humanity!
He was determined to use his strongest strike to end the life of this unparalleled genius.
Dying under this blow could even be considered Dai Mubai's fortune!
"Hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone Skill: Invincible Golden Body!"
Dai Mubai's left arm lit up as he activated the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft-Bone Rabbit Soul Bone Skill.
This soul bone had never been used since Dai Mubai acquired it, but now it was finally unleashed.
Invincible Golden Body: Defends against all attacks below the Divine level for three seconds. Usable three times a day.
Though it claimed to defend against all sub-Divine attacks, Dai Mubai knew the shield could only block certain types of energy and physical damage, with an upper limit.
If the attack exceeded that limit, the three-second duration would decrease until the shield broke.
Moreover, the Invincible Golden Body was powerless against true damage—such as Bibi Dong's Eternal Creation, which it couldn't resist.
But Tang Hao's detonation-based attacks were purely physical. As a Level 95 Super Douluo, he couldn't unleash Divine-level power in an instant.
Tang Hao: "..."
Something seemed off. His all-out attack, which had even harmed his own essence, had been perfectly blocked by Dai Mubai's golden shield, though the shield now appeared fragile and on the verge of shattering.
Fortunately, the energy from his detonated rings wasn't fully expended yet. Tang Hao swung his hammer at Dai Mubai again...
"Sixth Soul Skill: Void."
"Boom..."
Tang Hao's Haotian Hammer didn't strike Dai Mubai at all—it smashed into the ground.
Tang Hao: "???"
At that moment, Tang Hao finally realized what was wrong!
When he detonated four rings earlier, Dai Mubai had deliberately allowed himself to be struck!
It was a ploy to trick him into exhausting his soul rings.
Now Tang Hao wanted to escape. This young man didn't play fair—he had lured Tang Hao into wasting his detonations!
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone Skill: Teleportation."
"Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Annihilation!"
This soul skill, derived from a hundred-thousand-year-old White Tiger, was named in its honor.
White Tiger Annihilation: Ignores 80% of defenses, with a 300% attack amplification.
It seemed unremarkable, but it was one of the most powerful attacks of the White Tiger Beast King. The ability to ignore 80% of defenses was why it could directly bypass Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul True Body and target his main body.
Even a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape couldn't withstand it!
"Pfft..."
"I prefer to call this move Black Jue's Heart Extraction."
Dai Mubai's voice wasn't loud, but it was piercing to Tang Hao's ears.
"In the end... I've lost. I underestimated him..."
Dai Mubai shattered Tang Hao's heart. As a Level 95 Super Douluo, Tang Hao wasn't a god. A broken heart meant death.
At this moment, Tang Hao's Haotian Hammer fell lifelessly to the ground, disintegrating into dark golden light.
"Young man, can you promise me something?"
"Speak."
"Return the Blue Silver Emperor to the Blue Silver Clan. She's... under the only waterfall near Holy Spirit Village.
The Blue Silver Clan, Blue Silver Forest, my storage soul tool... there's a map inside."
"Alright, I promise you."
"..."
Tang Hao looked deeply at Dai Mubai one last time with his clouded eyes and slowly released his storage soul tool.
If destroyed, the items inside would be lost to another dimension, never to be retrieved.
"I trust you..."
For a long time, Dai Mubai stood silently before Tang Hao's lifeless body.
"To think that in your final moments, your thoughts weren't on the Haotian Sect, but A-Yin."
"I will fulfill my promise."
After speaking, Dai Mubai's Martial Soul vanished, and his Eight Spider Lances emerged. With Tang Hao dead, he would let him contribute to their evolution.
"Hm?"
As the energy from Tang Hao's soul bones surged into the Eight Spider Lances, Dai Mubai fell into deep thought.
This little thing didn't seem so simple...
