The battle between Limit Douluos had long surpassed the scope of humanity, approaching the realm of gods.
Tang Chen held the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer, his Deathgod Domain merging with his Soul Power. The dark red energy was immensely powerful and violent. With every movement, he could shatter clouds and break mountains, appearing like a war god in the flesh.
In contrast, Golden light radiated from behind Qian Daoliu, the sharp sword energy of the Angel Divine Sword slashing and cutting, tearing through space. His offensive was incredibly powerful.
During their continuous exchange, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu both moved far away from the Clear Sky Sect. Lin Xiao activated his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a Fire Phoenix, and followed them.
Qian Daoliu flapped his Angel wings, hovering in the air.
He gripped the Angel Divine Sword with both hands, exuding an imposing presence without anger.
"Sword of Judgment!"
An ethereal Angel projection appeared behind him, gathering powerful light attribute energy onto the Angel Divine Sword. The brilliance was blinding, and as the sword light flashed, a sacred aura poured down.
Tang Chen frowned.
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King within him greatly disliked the sacred aura of the Angel. Fortunately, with Tang Chen blocking, the sacred energy had difficulty harming it.
Tang Chen threw the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Army Breaking Strike!"
The colossal hammer collided with the Sacred Sword, erupting in a world-shattering roar.
"Boom!"
The shockwave spread outwards like a raging sea, radiating in waves. Lin Xiao, standing at a considerable distance, was still greatly affected by the impact.
His phoenix wings flapped wildly, stabilizing his form.
However, within his expanded Pupil Technique Domain, the two Golden Crows used for comprehensive observation of Tang Chen's openings had quietly vanished, as fragile as bubbles.
It was important to note that this was merely a casual spar between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen!
Neither of them had unleashed their full power yet!
Lin Xiao's killing intent intensified.
Tang Chen absolutely could not be allowed to live!
Qian Daoliu stood in the air, enveloped by a golden light shield that protected him from all angles, sustaining no injuries.
In contrast, Tang Chen.
He stood atop a mountain peak, also protected by a blood-colored shield.
However, compared to Qian Daoliu's sacred shield, Tang Chen's Clear Sky defense could absorb enemy attacks to charge himself, giving Tang Chen the initiative in the next round.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Slaughter Descends!"
After a simple probing, Tang Chen no longer hesitated. He tossed the Clear Sky Hammer high into the air. A blood-colored barrier descended from the heavens. The dark hammer body was now adorned with many blood-colored runes. The Clear Sky Hammer rapidly expanded, sealing off the surrounding space.
The giant hammer broke through the air, descending like a mountain, capable of slaying gods and demons.
His peak state, achieved through the heretical method of absorbing blood, could not be maintained for long. His physical condition would decline rapidly during high-intensity combat, so his strategy was to end the fight quickly.
Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had clashed quite a few times.
He knew very well.
Qian Daoliu's strength was weaker than his, and his burst power was far inferior. It seemed that heavy weapons like the Clear Sky Hammer naturally countered sharp weapons like swords.
"Angel Descends: Radiant Sword Rain!"
A sacred Angel projection descended upon the mortal realm. Myriad golden lights pierced through the clouds, striking the earth. The rain of light carried an endless purifying aura and cutting Sword Intent, cleansing the world.
Wherever the light reached, golden longswords crisscrossed.
Countless golden longswords clashed with the Clear Sky Hammer, enveloped in dark red Soul Power. The continuous clanging sounds drowned out all other noises in the sky. The energy waves from the Soul Power collision churned the surroundings into chaos, leaving them in ruins.
The lush forest instantly turned into barren land with flying sand and rolling stones;
The towering, steep mountain peaks were instantly shattered, with massive rocks tumbling down.
Lin Xiao watched the scene before him with some shock.
It was truly... the ultimate visual feast!
The clash between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen was unlike their previous battle with Di Tian. High up in the clouds, even if the space was torn apart, those below would have difficulty perceiving it directly.
But the world-destroying spectacle before him was deeply impressive!
Ultimately.
The golden sword light and the blood-colored colossal hammer were evenly matched.
However, the states of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were drastically different.
Tang Chen stood panting on the mountain peak, but this so-called peak had long been continuously eroded during the fierce battle, to the point that a deep pit had formed where Tang Chen stood.
His blood surged, and his flushed face eventually returned to normal.
Qian Daoliu, on the other hand, appeared as if nothing had happened, standing calmly in the sky. His gaze calmly looked down, like a high and mighty deity observing the mortal world.
After all, it was a temporary peak achieved through the heretical method of blood absorption. Tang Chen felt his condition had already begun to decline, while Qian Daoliu was still at his peak. It seemed he hadn't been idle all these years.
Since his ninth soul skill was useless, what other way was there to break the deadlock?
"Heh heh..."
Tang Chen let out a strange laugh.
"Qian Daoliu, I underestimated you."
"But you only managed to barely defeat me by relying on the Angel Divine Sword in your hand. Even if you won, it was an unfair victory. Do you dare to fight me fairly?"
Before Qian Daoliu could even react, Lin Xiao, who was further away, became enraged.
Damn this shameless old beast!
However, he also knew that he couldn't expect any bottom line from a Fallen One!
Tang Chen might care about his reputation, but the Slaughter King only cared about winning!
Therefore, he would resort to any means necessary!
Lin Xiao was about to speak up and advise Qian Daoliu.
He was afraid that this old geezer would do something foolish that would tie his own hands.
But in the next instant, he saw Qian Daoliu put away the Angel Divine Sword in his hand, using only the Sacred Sword materialized from his Angel Martial Soul.
"As you wish."
"Tang Chen, what else do you have to say?"
Tang Chen threw his head back and laughed maniacally.
"Haha, good!"
"I like your straightforward personality!"
Tang Chen stomped his feet, floating into the air with the aid of his Soul Power, reaching the same height as Qian Daoliu. The nine soul rings on his massive, black Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul—eight black and one red—lit up.
Among them, a red soul ring suddenly illuminated.
Another ninth soul skill?
Lin Xiao furrowed his brow. Tang Chen's ninth soul skill couldn't defeat Qian Daoliu, and continuing to use it would only cause his physical condition to deteriorate.
No!
Lin Xiao's pupils contracted, and a look of horror flashed through his mind.
This was Ring Detonation!
"Detonate!"
Unfortunately, the attack speed of a Limit Douluo was simply too fast. Just as Lin Xiao wanted to warn Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen let out a furious roar. The soul ring suddenly exploded, unleashing a moment of immense Soul Power into the Clear Sky Hammer, causing it to descend upon Qian Daoliu like a meteor striking a star!
Tang Chen's aura continued to decline, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His once robust vitality rapidly withered, but he laughed maniacally, a grin splitting his lips!
"Qian Daoliu, you were never my equal!"
"In our past spars, I never used this move against you."
"Today, you are fortunate enough to experience it!"
The world-destroying Clear Sky Hammer caused space to collapse layer by layer, annihilating everything.
The golden figure froze in mid-air. Before this terrifying giant hammer, it appeared as minuscule as an ant.
Tang Chen continued to laugh wildly.
Lin Xiao put his hand to his forehead and sighed.
It seemed the outcome was already decided.
But in the next instant, the Clear Sky Hammer passed through the golden figure, its attack missing.
A golden Sacred Sword pierced Tang Chen from behind.
