Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 518 Ring Explosion: Not Exclusively for the Clear Sky Hammer

Lin Xiao realized something was wrong.

The terrifying killing intent emanating from Tang San, and the Asura divine power attached to the Clear Sky Hammer, all revealed an obvious fact:

The Asura God is taking sides.

Logically speaking, when two successors to the divine throne are fighting to the death, the Asura God should either protect the weaker one or strictly prevent the successors from killing each other prematurely.

But the God of Asura chose to enhance Tang San.

This perplexing choice was a wake-up call for Lin Xiao.

If you don't undergo the Asura God Trial, Tang San will have a greater advantage and may very well defeat you in the final battle.

Wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San, completely out of his mind, was like a mad dog, biting anyone he could find.

Lin Xiao gradually got angry as well.

"Golden Crow patrols the heavens, open!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Pale Hell!"

Lin Xiao activated the Golden Crow Domain, instantly gaining a godlike perspective. His pupils turned golden, with a blazing sun seemingly rising within them. His eyes, sharp as torches, continuously analyzed Tang San's weaknesses.

At the same time, endless pale flames formed a fire domain, continuously absorbing the heat from Tang San's body and nourishing Lin Xiao in return.

Tang San's vitality and heat served as fuel, nourishing countless flames that grew ever more raging!
Tang San's situation became extremely precarious.

suddenly.

Tang San gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in both hands, adopting an extremely forceful posture. His waist propelled the Clear Sky Hammer to rotate continuously, and among the eight spirit rings of the Clear Sky Hammer, the first ten-thousand-year spirit ring suddenly exploded.

"The ultimate secret of the Great Sumeru Hammer!"

"Explode the ring!!!"

A terrifying force exploded out.

With the amplification from the Asura God already in effect, Tang San's strength experienced an explosive increase, and his surging attack was even capable of severely injuring a Super Douluo.

Facing the Haotian Hammer, which hurtled towards them like a comet striking an asteroid, trailing a fiery tail, and firing like a cannon.

Lin Xiao's phoenix true form instantly dissipated, transforming into countless crimson flames, which was the elemental transformation ability from the Nirvana Phoenix Transformation!
With a loud bang, Haotian Hammer shattered the flames, but in just a moment, the flames reformed.

Elementalization is not without its weaknesses. When it is scattered by a powerful attack and cannot be reassembled in a short time, it will be very troublesome if it is hit by a soul skill that blocks space or forcibly splits the flames.

Fortunately.

Tang San, whose martial soul was just ordinary Blue Silver Grass and whose Clear Sky Hammer was known for its strength and explosive power, did not possess such abilities.

The flames coalesced into Lin Xiao's figure.

Lin Xiao was shirtless, his red hair flamboyant, yet he possessed a noble air. His muscles were like those of a master craftsman, displaying explosive power and beauty, yet still maintaining a streamlined softness.

"Explosion ring?"

"How many spirit rings do you have that can be detonated?"

Tang San was already in a killing frenzy.

What nonsense about elementalization! As long as the power is strong enough, even if it turns into flames, it will be extinguished!
"Great Sumeru Hammer! All seven rings explode simultaneously!"

Whether it was madness from completely losing his mind or indifference from having the Asura God as a backup, Tang San chose to gamble everything, detonating all his spirit rings in exchange for that instantaneous, unstoppable absolute power.

Lin Xiao's eyes shone with golden light.

Ring Explosion is a unique divine skill of the Clear Sky Hammer. Its principle is to blast away the Soul Master's own Soul Ring structure, instantly releasing all the energy stored in the Soul Ring and converting it all into attack power or defense power, thus achieving a burst of strength that surpasses one's own level in a short period of time.

However, the downside is that after the spirit ring is destroyed, it usually takes 36 days to recover naturally, which puts a heavy burden on the body, and overuse can cause irreversible damage.

But is the Ring Explosion skill truly unique to the Haotian Hammer?

The technique of destroying a spirit ring is not difficult; it simply involves disrupting the structure of the spirit ring to release all its energy at once.

The truly demanding condition is that the requirements for a spirit ring to be destroyed are extremely high. The spirit must possess extremely strong resilience. Even if an ordinary spirit ring is destroyed by just one hundred-year spirit ring, it will cause irreversible damage to the spirit.

However, the Clear Sky Hammer's unparalleled sturdiness gave it the ability to act recklessly. Lin Xiao's Great Sun Golden Eyes had already discerned Tang San's method of exploding the rings; in fact, he didn't need to observe Tang San, as he could also explode the rings himself, though guiding the power required skill.

"Fry, fry, fry."

"I'll let you blow me up to your heart's content!"

Lin Xiao's eyes shone brightly with golden light, his soul power surged and raged, and eight soul rings appeared behind him.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Dark gold! Red! Red!

A spirit ring configuration far more terrifying than Tang San's!

"I can make rings too!"

Lin Xiao stretched out his palm and clenched it tightly. His five ten-thousand-year soul rings and two hundred-thousand-year soul rings exploded, and a massive amount of energy poured out like a tidal wave.

The reason he didn't destroy that million-year-old dark gold spirit ring was that it was unnecessary, and he was also a little hesitant to do so.

In Lin Xiao's view, the quality of his Phoenix Martial Soul was high enough, and its Nirvana attribute was no less than the sturdiness of the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Haotian Hammer can blast it, but he can't?

Furthermore, because he inherited the attributes of Maple Leaf Nirvana, Lin Xiao's body has extremely strong self-healing ability. What is a heavy physical burden for Tang San and Tang Hao may not be a problem for him at all.

The immense energy generated by Lin Xiao's exploding rings transformed into a gigantic fire phoenix, colliding with the Haotian Hammer that shot towards them like a mountain.

"Oh!"

The terrifying explosion generated an extreme annihilating power.

The Haotian Hammer vanished the instant it was blasted away.

Tang San's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirits waning.

The enormous fire phoenix, however, continued its relentless advance towards Tang San, as if carrying a raging inferno to burn him to ashes.

In the realm of gods, the Asura God, who had been watching the battle closely, was shocked, and his expression changed drastically.

"Even with my help, Tang San still suffered such a complete defeat?"

He was at a loss for words.

The difference between the two successors to the divine throne was like heaven and earth.

The Asura God couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.

As long as Lin Xiao is willing to honestly inherit the position of the Asura God, he doesn't need Tang San at all!
Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to take the Asura God Trial seriously at all. Ever since he killed the 100,000-year-old soul beast during his trip to the far north, Lin Xiao had never touched the Asura God Trial again!
You're so great! You're so arrogant!

You're using my Asura God Trial as a pastime!

Just as the enormous fire phoenix was about to devour Tang San, a blood-red Asura Barrier blocked its way. When the fire phoenix, engulfed in crimson flames, collided with the Asura Barrier, it only caused ripples and an explosion of endless energy, yet it did not harm Tang San in the slightest.

Lin Xiao pursed his lips.

That's really cheating.

Although he felt great when he was bullying Di Tian with the Asura God Sword, Lin Xiao's mood changed when the Asura God Sword became Tang San's protective shell.

Before the crimson Asura barrier dissipated, Lin Xiao had already turned back.

Go home and find Aunt Ye.

The ring-blasting is fun, but it's really exhausting.

Even if it has the attribute of Nirvana, it is still the same.

The stronger the spirit ring that explodes, the greater the burden on the body.

Lin Xiao suspected that the Asura God had tampered with Tang Hao's body; otherwise, how could he repeatedly be seriously injured and on the verge of death, only to be resurrected with full health?

Every time they're about to die, they still manage to have some fun next time.
