Ever since Ah Yin was taken away by him, she had been transplanted into the Valley of Life, where the Blue Silver Emperor of Sun Moon Continent resided. Its presence there played a more significant role in Ah Yin's recovery than even the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Blue Silver Emperor of Sun Moon Continent was also very welcoming to the arrival of another Blue Silver Emperor. Not only due to the differences between the Blue Silver Emperors of the two Continents, but it might also gain considerable benefits through analogy.
Furthermore, Ah Yin's state held extremely significant reference value; she had sacrificed herself yet had not died, instead entering a state of Nirvana.
This situation greatly interested the Blue Silver Emperor of Sun Moon Continent, so it had been fully assisting Ah Yin's recovery. The last time Xu Tianyang saw her, Ah Yin had already recovered to the thousand-year level.
As for the mention of a Blue Silver Empress, he was purely provoking Tang Hao, but it wasn't impossible. After all, Spirit Beasts of the plant system, what gender distinction do they have?
It's just a thought from the Blue Silver Emperor of Sun Moon Continent... When Xu Tianyang said this, he hadn't entirely deceived Tang Hao.
"It really was you who took Ah Yin! Quickly, return Ah Yin to me..." Upon hearing news of Ah Yin, the last shred of Tang Hao's rationality vanished. He even forgot why he had come, and without a second thought, charged towards Xu Tianyang.
Unfortunately, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo were not to be trifled with. Even though they were now Undead bodies and could only exert ninety-fifth-level strength, their combined efforts still firmly blocked Tang Hao.
"You two defeated generals, you couldn't stop me when you were alive, and you think you can stop me after death..." Entangled by Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, Tang Hao was instantly enraged. With a roar, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand pulsed with intense black light, and a hundred-zhang giant hammer shadow swung directly at them.
"Boom!"
Watching Qian Jun and Jiang Mo fly backward, Xu Tianyang looked at Tang Hao in surprise and said, "I didn't expect your strength to have advanced even further."
"Heh heh, that's because... for these past few years, I've been thinking about killing you every single moment," Tang Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sneered, and swung his hammer at Xu Tianyang again.
He moved like a whirlwind, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand spinning rapidly like a black demonic sun, filled with wild dominance and devouring evil power.
Although the battle in Ming City had further aggravated his physical injuries, walking the line between life and death had also allowed his realm to break through. If his body hadn't been so severely damaged, his cultivation would have already reached ninety-sixth level.
Tang San did have a way to regulate Tang Hao's internal injuries, but his cultivation was too weak to fully open Tang Hao's meridians.
So, at this time, Tang Hao's physical condition was even worse than before.
"Hehehe, Tang Hao, you have indeed made progress, but..." Xu Tianyang cackled, looking at Tang Hao as if he were an ant.
"My progress surpasses yours."
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Xu Tianyang. In Tai Tan's shocked gaze, a pitch-black energy hand reached out, clenched into a fist, and smashed fiercely towards Tang Hao.
"Boom!!!" A terrifying roar echoed through the sky, and the spreading aftermath, like a fierce wind, swept through the Sunset Forest below.
"Wah!"
In Tai Tan's disbelieving eyes, Tang Hao, who was invincible in his heart, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the ground.
"Master!"
Tai Tan's seventh spirit ring lit up, transforming him into a giant black gorilla, and he rushed straight towards Tang Hao.
"Roar!!!"
Just then, the Undead Bone Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar. The air instantly fluctuated violently, and Tai Tan was struck as if by lightning, blood snaking from his ears.
A giant dragon claw reached for Tai Tan, whose massive size seemed like a tiny chick in front of the Undead Bone Dragon.
Ignoring Tai Tan, who was being unilaterally toyed with, Xu Tianyang was currently continuously fending off Tang Hao's attacks.
"See, you're improving, and I'm improving too, even faster than you," Xu Tianyang said, facing Tang Hao's furious attacks, merely raising his palm lightly to block them.
Waves of surging air spread out the moment his palm collided with the giant hammer, but Xu Tianyang's feet remained rooted to the spot, not even a corner of his clothes fluttering.
"I don't believe you can be this strong..." Tang Hao was extremely shocked and terrified by this sight, but he didn't dare to hesitate. He spun around, and the second hammer swept out horizontally, this time aimed at Xu Tianyang's head.
"Shatter!" And with a sharp cry, his body first paused then trembled, followed by bursts of blood mist erupting from him, and his first four spirit rings simultaneously shattered.
Tang Hao was extremely decisive. After sensing Xu Tianyang's powerful strength, he directly used the Great Sumeru Hammer, shattering four spirit rings at once.
This was undoubtedly a huge burden on his body. Clearly, he was preparing to fight to the death once more, ready for a desperate struggle.
"Such a you no longer hold any value for me," Xu Tianyang said, shaking his head as he looked at Tang Hao.
Originally, he had intended to use the Clear Sky Sect to deplete Spirit Hall's power, but Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue's attitudes made him change his mind.
Now, he held two great inheritances and his own strength feared no one. Given the current situation, he no longer needed the Clear Sky Sect as a chess piece.
On the contrary, Tang Hao still had a reason to die, and that was his possession of the Slaughter God Domain.
He couldn't gamble on the Asura God's integrity; what if he changed his mind then?
A red light flashed in his eyes, and dark red demonic patterns appeared on his body. In Tang Hao's terrified gaze, circles of blood-colored halos rippled out from Xu Tianyang's body.
This energy caused the air to solidify, and a blood-red ripple dyed the entire World red.
Tang Hao's expression instantly changed drastically. He found that after coming into contact with that blood-light, he couldn't use his Spirit Abilities, and his Slaughter God Domain showed signs of collapsing.
It was as if he had encountered the suppression of a superior being.
This familiar feeling reminded him of that unforgettable experience, "You are... you are the Slaughter King!!!"
"The Slaughter King you saw wasn't me, but if you insist on calling me the Slaughter King, you wouldn't be wrong. Let me test the power of this Slaughter Domain."
Xu Tianyang's words confused Tang Hao a bit; what did he mean by both 'is' and 'isn't'? But he had no time to think now, because a sharp and murderous blood-red sword qi was already slashing towards him.
"Even if you are the Slaughter King, I will kill you today!" Tang Hao's powerful spirit power converged into a black dragon, dark red ripples emanated from the Clear Sky Hammer, and his remaining five spirit rings coiled around his body, emitting a series of clanging explosions.
