The newcomer was Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship.
One of the living level 99 Peerless Douluo.
The aftershocks of his battle with Tang Lan leveled an area of ten thousand meters .
However, the Papal Palace at the core remained completely undamaged.
The soul masters of the Papal Palace and the Spirit Hall were all bathed in golden light, protecting them from harm.
It was Qian Daoliu who had made his move.
More accurately, it was
the power of the Angel!
Tang Lan glanced at the golden lightsaber in Qian Daoliu's hand.
That should be the divine artifact "Angel Holy Sword."
He wondered if Qian Daoliu had used the power of the Angel against him during their battle.
It was hard to say.
After all, he had a 400,000-year soul ring, nine 700,000+ year soul rings, and one million-year soul ring.
Even the current level 98 "enhanced version of Tang Hao" couldn't match his power with the Great Sumeru Hammer.
And the "blank version of Tang Hao" could send Bibi Dong, who had just become a god, flying with the Great Sumeru Hammer.
There's no reason why Qian Daoliu could so easily withstand Tang Lan's hammer blow, right?
'Compared to these veteran level 99 warriors, there's still a gap in strength.'
'After all, my Great Sumeru Hammer can only unleash one strike.'
'Those who reach level 99 all have some divine connection.'
'But Qian Daoliu's path has reached its end, while I'm only level 82, with a lot of room for improvement.'
'I'll hammer this guy to death sooner or later!'
While he was thinking,
Xiong Mo and the others snapped out of their daze, revealing their wild joy at surviving a disaster.
'Greetings, Great Elder!'
'Greetings, Great Elder!'
'Greetings, Great Elder!'
Compared to the gratitude of the Spirit Hall members,
Bibi Dong, who was also rescued, glared at Qian Daoliu through gritted teeth.
Her face was filled with undisguised disgust and hatred.
—She's already activated her immortality, does she need you to save her?
Anyway, Bibi Dong will absolutely not accept this favor!
"Considering you are his descendant, I'll give you a chance," Qian Daoliu said mercifully. "Now, hand over everything from the Tang Sect, and you can return to the Clear Sky Sect."
Oh wow!
Even after fighting like this, there's still a "way out"?
It seems Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen have a somewhat adversarial relationship.
However,
in other aspects, they're far from being friends.
That golden light just now protected the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters.
None of the contestants were spared!
Tang Lan glanced around.
Even with their team leaders protecting them, the losses were heavy.
'These are the future backbone against the Spirit Empire; they can't be lost like this.'
'Since the reset is already activated, I might as well do them a favor.'
Tang Lan activated the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone of life, unleashing a large amount of life force.
One after another, green light orbs fell, causing the severely injured to regrow their severed limbs, and even those who had just breathed their last to open their eyes again.
Soul Bone Skill: Grace of Life!
Releasing all stored life force, bestowing grace upon a vast area, allowing all life to revive!
"Crack—"
The "Soul Bone Skill: Mark" copied by his left eye's double pupil shattered, and the Soul Bone Skill: Reset activated.
Tang Lan flickered in place, resetting to his peak state.
He stared at Qian Daoliu, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
This made Qian Daoliu frown. He
said unhappily—
"Even if you have a time-based Soul Bone Skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer can only unleash its power once more; it's impossible for it to harm me."
"Why struggle in vain?"
"My words still stand. Hand over the Tang Sect, and I'll let you return to the Haotian Sect."
"This is my last bit of patience; do as you see fit."
Qian Daoliu believed he had been lenient enough.
But
Tang Lan had no intention of accepting!
He wielded grass in his left hand and a hammer in his right, activating all his Soul Bone Skills to empower himself, fully unleashing the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, his entire body radiating golden light.
He charged straight at Qian Daoliu!
Qian Daoliu sighed softly, a helpless expression on his face.
But his subordinates didn't hesitate at all, the divine artifact Angelic Holy Sword meeting the Thunderfire Ice Haotian Hammer head-on.
"Boom!"
Tang Lan, without her exploding rings, was actually locked in a stalemate with Qian Daoliu!
Qian Daoliu was surprised, yet also felt a sense of familiarity.
"You've layered your spiritual power? You're Poseidon's disciple?" Qian Daoliu asked confidently.
—No one in this world could use spiritual power more effectively than her.
"I remember now," Tang Lan grinned. "You're the simp Sister Xi mentioned, the one who couldn't win her over and then sent his men to attack Seagod Island?"
Qian Daoliu's face stiffened!
What? Did
Xi'er
really think that about him?
"No!" Qian Daoliu blurted out instinctively, "Back then, it was that rebellious son who attacked Seagod Island..."
"Whoosh—"
Taking advantage of Qian Daoliu's distraction, Tang Lan unleashed a Qiankun Soul-Shattering Strike straight at his brow.
Unfortunately.
A golden angelic mark lit up on Qian Daoliu's forehead, transforming into a protective shield that momentarily blocked the Qiankun Soul-Shattering Strike.
Although it shattered instantly,
it gave Qian Daoliu time to react, allowing him to barely dodge the fatal blow.
A deep bloodstain was left on his left cheek.
The long-lost pain and blood awakened Qian Daoliu from his past memories.
His gaze sharpened as he stared at Tang Lan, furious!
How dare this person?
He had spared her life out of mercy, yet she dared to ambush him?
If it were anyone else, they would have been burned to ashes by the holy light.
But...
Tang Lan was his descendant, her disciple.
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.
He said in a deep voice, "For the sake of Tang Chen and Poseidon, I'll give you one more chance."
This time, Tang Lan didn't even finish listening.
She activated the restriction release of her double pupils, allowing her to freely copy skills for an hour.
She directly copied three Blue Silver Emperor Life Souls and two Thunderfire Ice Clear Sky Hammer Martial Souls.
Then she activated her Divine Ability Two Heads and Three Arms, wielding a Thunderfire Ice Clear Sky Hammer in each hand.
She directly attacked Qian Daoliu.
The four Blue Silver Emperor Life Souls lit up simultaneously, and their Soul Skills began to fly wildly.
Ancient Tree of Life x4!
Forbidden Zone of Life x4!
The entire Papal Palace was enveloped in green pollen.
Martial Soul True Body x4!
A massive amount of life force gathered, empowering Tang Lan.
Spirit Binding x4!
Four Spirit Binding Blue Silver Emperors were hurled at Qian Daoliu, targeting his soul for a fatal blow.
This time,
Qian Daoliu could no longer tolerate it!
—I've tolerated you time and time again, and you don't even know the meaning of respecting your elders?
Six black and three red spirit rings lit up, though not as dazzling as Tang Lan's blood-red body, their aura was still overwhelming.
Seeing the seventh spirit ring light up,
"Buzz—"
a blood-red domain enveloped Qian Daoliu, extinguishing the lit spirit ring.
Slaughter Domain - Magic Suppression!
Qian Daoliu's expression remained unchanged, a circle of golden light rippled beneath his feet, and a golden six-winged angel phantom rose behind him.
Angel Domain!
Its unique purification ability, despite Qian Daoliu's near-demigod strength, managed to maintain a small area,
allowing the seventh spirit ring to light up again.
But
"Buzz—"
Black Hole Domain!
"Buzz—"
Soul Domain!
"Buzz—"
Blue Silver Life Domain!
"Buzz—"
Thunder God Domain - Prototype!
"Buzz—"
Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain!
Absorbing energy, weakening the soul, reducing status, paralyzing with lightning, freezing with ice and snow!
Ultimate Soul, Ultimate Life, Ultimate Lightning, Ultimate Ice!
Directly rendered Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain speechless on the spot. The
lit seventh soul ring was extinguished once again.
Qian Daoliu finally revealed a look of astonishment.
