Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 116 The Power of the Demon King
"Killing you will rid my soul beast clan of a major threat in the future!"

Without uttering a single word, the Demon King's body surged with a dark green light.

A terrifying aura surged into the sky, far surpassing that of an ordinary Super Douluo!

"boom!"

He directly revealed some of the ontological characteristics.

Countless thick, black branches, like giant pythons and shimmering with metallic luster, resemble tentacles from hell.

It burst forth from the ground in an instant.

They attacked Tang Hao from all directions!

Wherever the branches passed, the space itself seemed to distort under the weight of the branches!

Tang Hao appeared the instant the Demon King appeared.

The hairs on my entire body stood on end!

The terrifying pressure of the soul beast, the suffocating sense of crisis.

It was even more impressive than when he faced Qian Daoliu back then!

"The Ten Ferocious Beasts, the King of Ten Thousand Demons!"

Tang Hao instantly recognized the newcomer's identity, and his expression turned more unpleasant than ever before.

He had just broken through to level 96, and his soul power was not yet stable.

The old injuries inside the body are still severe.

How could he possibly be a match for the ferocious beast king, whose cultivation spanned over 500,000 years and whose strength was comparable to a level 98 or even 99 Limit Douluo in humans?

"escape!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Hao instantly obtained the Clear Sky Hammer.

His first spirit ring lit up, and his body transformed into a streak of black light.

He was about to use the Haotian Sect's movement technique to escape.

"Want to leave? It's too late!"

The Demon King sneered.

The plants within a radius of several hundred meters seemed to come alive, weaving together into a giant green magic net.

Layer upon layer, instantly blocking all of Tang Hao's escape routes!
At the same time, countless dark branches, like a persistent leech, relentlessly pursued him.

With a corrosive and devouring power, it lashed out at Tang Hao!
"Boom boom boom!"

Tang Hao swung his Clear Sky Hammer, smashing away the attacking tree branches.

But the immense force and strange corrosive energy contained in the tree branch made his blood surge and his arms go numb.

The soul power that had just begun to stabilize became disordered again.

"puff!"

The aggravation of his old wound caused a sweet taste in Tang Hao's throat.

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

He knew that if things continued like this, he would surely die!

"asshole!"

A hint of madness and determination flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

"You forced me to do this!"

He suddenly stopped running away.

He gripped the Haotian Hammer tightly with both hands.

The first six soul rings on his body are two yellow, two purple, and two black.

It suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

Then... it exploded!
"Explode the ring!"

boom!
An indescribable surge of violent energy erupted from Tang Hao's body like a volcanic eruption!
His aura surged instantly, breaking through the level 96 barrier and reaching level 97.

The Haotian Hammer grew to an enormous size, surrounded by dark light, as if it would crush the void!

"Big Sumeru Hammer!"

Using the immense energy from the exploding rings, Tang Hao unleashed one of the strongest techniques of the Clear Sky Hammer.

The enormous hammer shadow was like a mountain, carrying an indomitable will to destroy.

It crashed down fiercely towards the true form of the Demon King!

However, faced with this earth-shattering blow.

In the dark green eyes of the Demon King, there was only mockery and disdain.

"sucker Punch!"

He snorted coldly, and his true form, a phantom image, flashed and disappeared behind him.

That was a terrifying demonic tree that blotted out the sky!
An even more magnificent dark green light erupted.

Countless thick branches intertwine to form a huge shield.

Countless eerie eyes opened on the shield.

It exudes a chaotic, corrosive, and devouring mental fluctuation!

"Demon Eye Shield!"

"Boom!"

The Haotian Hammer and the Demon Eye Shield collided fiercely!
The terrifying shockwave completely leveled the surrounding dilapidated houses!

Tang Hao's attack, imbued with the power of six rings, was an extremely powerful strike.

It only caused the demonic shield to shake violently and develop a few cracks.

It failed to completely destroy it!
On the other hand, the backlash from the exploding rings has already begun to show on Tang Hao.

His face turned deathly pale instantly, and his breath plummeted like a deflated balloon.

Fresh blood kept oozing from his mouth and nose, and his body swayed precariously.

"Six rings is not enough!"

Tang Hao murmured solemnly.

The Demon King spoke in a chilling tone, manipulating countless tree branches.

It once again coiled around Tang Hao, who was already at his limit, intending to completely strangle and devour him!
Tang Hao looked at the branches that were closing in like a net of death.

A flicker of despair and madness flashed in his eyes. He knew it.
Destroying the Sixth Ring Road is the limit.

If we were to blow up the remaining soul rings, even if we could temporarily force back the Demon King.

His own foundation will be completely destroyed, and his soul power level will plummet.

They might even become disabled!

But... if we don't blow it up, we'll die right now!
"what!"

Tang Hao let out a furious roar of resentment, his eyes bloodshot.

We must detonate the remaining spirit rings at all costs!
"Roar!"

He let out a roar like a dying beast.

All hesitation and all concerns were thrown to the back of my mind!

Survival is the only goal!
"Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!"

The remaining three soul rings in his body.

The seventh spirit ring, the eighth spirit ring, and the ninth spirit ring, which was as red as blood and carried Ah Yin's life and hope.

At that moment, an unprecedented, dazzling light burst forth, enough to eclipse the sun and moon.

Then... it exploded!
"Boom!"

An energy storm ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than when the Sixth Ring Road was destroyed.

Centered on Tang Hao, it suddenly erupted!
The space around him shattered inch by inch, revealing dark void turbulence!

The earth was lifted up and obliterated as if it were made of paper!
That space was originally sealed off by the plant domain of the Demon King.

Under the impact of this destructive energy, it was as fragile as glass.

Shattered in an instant!

Blood gushed from Tang Hao's seven orifices, and countless terrifying bloody cracks appeared on his body.

It seemed as if it could completely collapse at any moment.

But his imposing aura forcefully broke through all obstacles at that moment.

It reached an incredibly terrifying level.

"The Great Sumeru Hammer, its nine rings explode simultaneously, and heaven and earth grieve!"

The Haotian Hammer in his hand seemed to have transformed into a giant pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, or a meteor that would destroy the world.

It carries with it all of Tang Hao's life essence, all his anger, and all his resentment.

And all the energy from those nine exploding spirit rings.

Heading towards the barrier of the Demon King's domain.

It crashed down violently!

This strike transcended skill and skill level.

It is the ultimate manifestation of pure power and the will to destroy!
"Crack!"

That incredibly sturdy plant domain, under this overwhelming blow, was like an eggshell struck by a heavy hammer.

It emitted a cracking sound as it struggled to break under the strain, and then collapsed with a deafening roar!

The Demon King watched as Tang Hao, covered in blood, broke through the blockade and disappeared into the sky, but did not immediately pursue him.

Tang Hao's nine rings exploded simultaneously, destroying his foundation.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would basically be crippled.

There is no possibility of making any further progress in this lifetime.

Even if their martial spirit shatters, their cultivation level plummets, and they barely survive.

Is it worth continuing to pursue someone who is destined to fail?

Risking attracting the attention of the Beidou Academy?
Moreover, the task assigned by the Lord was to investigate, not to fight.

If we lose sight of the bigger picture and expose the deeper plans of the Soul Beast race, it will be a losing proposition.

The Demon King's dark green eyes flickered a few times, his expression shifting uncertainly.

Ultimately, it transformed into a chilling killing intent.

He took a deep look in the direction where Tang Hao had disappeared.

"Hmph! He's lucky to be alive!"

The Demon King snorted coldly, his figure slowly blending into the shadows of the surrounding plants.

Before he finished speaking, his presence had completely vanished, as if he had never existed.

This earth-shattering battle took place in a remote small town.

Although brief, it was thrilling.

In order to seek a sliver of hope, Haotian Douluo Tang Hao destroyed his own foundation, causing all nine of his rings to explode, severely injuring himself as he fled.

The sky, however, seemed unaffected by the turmoil.

The golden light continued to flow steadily upwards.

The new rankings arrived as scheduled after a short interval.

[Soul Master Power Ranking, 17th]

Name: Gu Rong

[Affiliation: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School]

[Soul Power Level: 96]

[Martial Spirit: Bone Dragon]

[Soul Ring Configuration: Purple, Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black]

[Combat Power Rating: A pinnacle representative of the defensive type, the Bone Dragon Martial Soul grants it extremely strong physical and energy defense, as well as a rare spatial teleportation ability, making it unpredictable and difficult to defend against. It excels in crowd control and protection. However, its offensive power is relatively mediocre, lacking a decisive killing move, and its spatial abilities consume a lot of energy, making it difficult to sustain. Therefore, it ranks seventeenth.]

[Reward: All Soul Rings' age increased by 1000 years, Soul Power increased by 1 level, Attack Power increased by 5%, Bone Dragon's spatial traversal distance and stability increased by 20%.]

"Seventeenth place! Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Bone Douluo Gu Rong!"

"Peak defense, Space Bone Dragon! Truly formidable!"

"This ranking is reasonable."

"Bone Douluo's defense and spatial abilities are indeed troublesome, but his attack power is definitely a weakness."
