Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 244: Slaying the Two Divine Beasts, Tang Hao Appears, His Opponent from Ten Thousand Years Ago

Three hundred miles east of Tiandou City in the Tianhun Empire, space suddenly shattered, and Shu Yan's figure emerged from it. He stood quietly in mid-air, looking down through the thin clouds at the small village with wisps of smoke rising from its chimneys.

This small village is not large, with only a few dozen households. From a distance, it even looks somewhat dilapidated. However, through mental scanning, it is just an ordinary small village, but the number of Soul Masters it has is quite considerable, although most of them are only low-level Soul Masters of level 10 or 20.

After a casual glance, Shu Yan's gaze fell upon the towering mountain peaks behind the small village.

There, a large number of high-level Soul Masters and powerful individuals gathered, including one Limit Douluo, two Level 98 Super Douluos, and more than ten Title Douluos. It must be said that after ten thousand years of development, the Clear Sky Sect has a very solid foundation.

Aside from the two divine beasts, the other aura of level 98 should belong to Haotian Douluo, the strongest member of the sect in the present era. Speaking of which, it must be extremely difficult for Haotian Sect to produce a Limit Douluo.

During the competition, Shu Yan had seen Wang Dong's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, but in essence, the Clear Sky Hammer didn't seem particularly outstanding to him. He had seen many geniuses with top-tier weapon martial souls, and many of their martial souls were comparable to the so-called Clear Sky Hammer. A large part of the Clear Sky Hammer's power came from various legends that people talked about and its widespread fame on the continent.

Ten thousand years ago, the Haotian Sect supported the Xingluo Empire, but they only supported the Xingluo Empire with the White Tiger lineage as its royal family. After the Xingguan lineage came to power, the connection between the Haotian Sect and the Xingluo Empire was severed. Although the Haotian Sect has now seemingly gone into seclusion, it is still secretly infiltrating all aspects of the continent.

Without thinking further, Shu Yan transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the main peak of Haotian Sect. Upon arriving, he made no attempt to conceal his aura. Before long, two figures, one in green and one in yellow, soared into the air atop the main peak of Haotian Sect. These two were none other than the divine beasts, the Azure Dragon and the Titan Giant Ape.

Shu Yan stopped and casually glanced at the two divine beasts not far away, and was quite surprised.

Ultimately, their cultivation levels were all at the god level. Even with the suppression of the plane, they should still be extremely powerful Limit Douluos. However, judging from the current situation, Da Ming, who maintains the strength of a Limit Douluo, seems to be much weaker than Long Xiaoyao, the Dark Holy Dragon who died at the hands of Shu Yan. As for Er Ming... his cultivation level of 98 is not particularly outstanding. If he didn't have any hidden trump cards, any one of the three current Limit Douluos could easily defeat him at their peak.

Da Ming and Er Ming looked at Shu Yan with serious expressions, clearly extremely wary of him.

Having spent thousands of years in the God Realm, they naturally possessed a broad perspective and were able to discern the intense divinity emanating from Shu Yan. The sheer power of this divinity astonished them, as they had no idea when such a powerful expert had emerged in the Douluo Continent.

"Friend, what brings you to my Haotian Sect?"

The man dressed in white, Da Ming, was the first to speak, his tone very amiable.

Shu Yan chuckled softly, then said:

"You two divine beasts who were once sacrificed to the Sea God Tang San and then resurrected, I'm very curious to know what it's like to have your divine beast soul rings and soul bones fused into your bodies. Therefore, today is the day of your death..."

After saying that, Shu Yan ignored the two people whose expressions had changed drastically and used the Emperor Sword. Dozens of sword lights flew towards the two divine beasts at high speed. Da Ming pushed Er Ming aside and a rich blue-gold light enveloped his body. The next moment, he transformed into a giant dragon with a body length of over a thousand meters and a body covered with blue scales.

The resounding dragon roars shattered all the clouds and mist within a radius of hundreds of miles. Then, the enormous dragon head slightly raised, and a beam of azure-gold light spewed out from Da Ming's mouth, completely blocking the sword light unleashed by the Emperor's Sword. Shu Yan raised an eyebrow, not expecting Da Ming to have held back. Within that azure beam of light, there existed more than one kind of divine power, and the divine power that exuded a vast and boundless aura, like the ocean, seemed to come from... the Sea God?

Meanwhile, Erming had also emerged from the earthy yellow light, his body now towering over a thousand meters tall. After regaining his original form, his strength had increased considerably, and he had reached the Limit Douluo level.

Shu Yan snorted coldly, not wanting to waste time with these two guys.

With the Evil God's Scepter in hand, the deep blue light of time and space transformed into a deep blue pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, then formed a barrier that enveloped the entire Haotian Sect.

"This is... the light of time and space!?"

Da Ming gasped. Although he had never seen the Light of Time and Space in person, he had heard of its terrifying power. In the instant he was shocked by the Light of Time and Space, a huge silver beam of light with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly struck him head-on, followed by dozens of huge tentacles that shot out from the void.

This silver beam of light is none other than the Evil Eye Tyrant's most powerful innate attack soul skill, the Evil Eye Gaze. At the same time, this move is also the most likely ability of the pure mental attribute Evil Eye Tyrant. Back then, when the Evil Emperor used the Evil Eye Gaze to hit Di Tian, ​​even Di Tian was unable to control himself and was frozen for five seconds, during which he could only passively take the hits. Now, the greatly amplified Evil Eye Gaze has hit Da Ming, and his fate is already clear...

Seeing that Da Ming's life force had plummeted to its lowest point in an instant, Er Ming was both shocked and furious, and roared:

"Big brother!"

Shu Yan snorted coldly. Facing the furious Er Ming's fist, which was as large as a mountain, he also threw a punch. The terrifying power shattered the surrounding space. Er Ming staggered, and then what greeted him was the eighth soul skill of Shu Yan's second martial soul, the Evil God Scepter: Calamity Pillar. The blue-purple pillar of light, carrying endless negative energy, poured down. This attack was not only aimed at the physical body, but also at Er Ming's spirit.

Although the Demon Emperor's true form, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, is not a spirit-attribute soul beast, ocean soul beasts themselves possess extremely powerful spiritual energy. Moreover, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a super soul beast with almost no weaknesses. While attacking the enemy's physical body, this attack will also allow the terrifying negative energy to invade the enemy's spiritual level. This energy was accumulated by the Demon Emperor from herself and the soul beasts she slaughtered over ten thousand years of killing in the ocean. The amount of energy was so vast that even the resurrected Angel God would need a period of time to purify it.

After this attack, a large crater was blasted into Erming's chest, and the endless negative energy had invaded his spiritual sea. The extreme pain made him let out a series of huge roars, and his massive limbs could easily smash a mountain with a casual swing.

At this moment, the Evil Emperor had also released the dying Da Ming. From Shu Yan's head, a blood-red halo rippled out, and then the two dying divine beasts slowly calmed down. The mental plundering control launched by the combination of the two head soul bones was something that Da Ming and Er Ming could not resist in this state. In just an instant, Shu Yan completely controlled their minds.

As two beams of light, one azure and one gold, cleaved the entire sky, Shu Yan sat down cross-legged on the spot. As the two massive energies entered his body, his two martial souls and eighteen soul rings began to frantically absorb and store these energies.

There is a terrifying chasm between level ninety-nine and true godhood. The energy stored by the two divine beasts is incredibly vast and pure, far surpassing the power of the previous Dragon-Tiger Pill. As the two energies continuously flow into his body, Shu Yan's aura gradually rises, and the rudimentary form of his third soul core is slowly taking shape...

At that very moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky far away from the Haotian Sect, and muffled thunder rumbled across the horizon. In the dark clouds, a figure wielding a giant hammer could be vaguely seen.

The figure was not clearly visible, but in an instant, the dark clouds spread over the Haotian Sect's base. A furious roar filled with killing intent came from above the clouds. The next moment, a giant hammer exuding a blood-red aura suddenly broke through the clouds and crashed down, with the center of the hammer aimed directly at Shu Yan.

The giant hammer fell at an extremely fast speed, and the entire world seemed to be crushed and frozen by this terrifying killing intent. Just as the giant hammer was about to hit Shu Yan, a giant scythe suddenly pierced through space and collided fiercely with the giant hammer.

Space shattered, the giant hammer was knocked back, and the figure above the clouds seemed to stagger. After he saw the stunningly beautiful woman in dark purple armor, the entire world seemed to fall into eternal silence.

"Bibi Dong! You're still alive!"

The man's voice was filled with disbelief as the clouds dispersed, revealing his face.

The man appeared to be in his forties, dressed in a black robe, with a resolute appearance and a tall stature. This man was none other than Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo from ten thousand years ago.

Bibi Dong held the Demon Scythe of the Rakshasa, a hint of coldness flickering in her purple pupils. Although her Rakshasa Divine Armor emitted a purplish-black light, it was still not complete, and even part of the Demon Scythe of the Rakshasa in her hand was broken and void.

"Tang Hao, ten thousand years have passed. I wonder if you are now a worthy opponent for me..."

Tang Hao's emotions gradually returned to normal. He slowly raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and the blood-red light on the hammer gradually turned into a dark gold. Then, he coldly snorted:

"Your divine equipment and artifacts are all shattered. Although I don't know how you managed to recover to the god-level and become unaffected by dimensional suppression, I refuse to believe that you, in this state, can cause any more trouble."

After saying that, Bibi Dong, who was holding the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and Tang Hao, who was holding the Clear Sky Hammer, instantly arrived at a height of ten thousand meters. The collision of the two completely different divine powers painted the entire sky with two different colors.

Both of them went all out, their killing intent making no attempt to conceal itself.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

However, Tang Hao, suppressed by the laws of the plane, soon fell into a disadvantageous position.

Originally, gods like him who came to Douluo from the God Realm were suppressed by the laws of the plane and could only maintain the strength of the peak Limit Douluo at most. However, Tang Hao and Ah Yin had a backup plan left by Tang Hao, which helped them shield themselves from some of the suppression from the laws of the plane. This allowed them to maintain their god-level strength even when they were rejected by the plane.

However, as the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Plane weakens, the backup plan left by Tang San gradually loses its effectiveness. After a while, their strength will truly drop to the Limit Douluo level, and at that time, there will be no chance to turn things around.

Last time, when Shu Yan captured Ah Yin in the Golden Tree Source of Shrek Academy, he was filled with shock and anger. He was about to save Ah Yin, but Ah Yin sent him a telepathic message at the last moment, telling him to flee immediately and wait for a suitable opportunity to act later.

Now, seeing Shu Yan begin to absorb the energy of the two divine beasts, he could no longer suppress the resentment and anger in his heart. He immediately and without hesitation took action to try to kill Shu Yan, even though he knew that his actions would cause the deaths of many disciples of the Haotian Sect, but he did not care.

Shu Yan was the biggest anomaly in all of Tang San's plans and predictions. Before completely losing contact with the God Realm, Tang San had said that as long as Shu Yan was dealt with, there might still be a chance for things to turn around. For this reason, even though Tang Hao knew that taking action at the Clear Sky Sect's base would harm innocent people, he still did it.

But he never expected that Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God who died at Tang San's hands ten thousand years ago, would miraculously be resurrected and regain her god-level strength, and even intervene in his affairs at this time.

What angered and shocked him even more was that Bibi Dong gradually gained the upper hand in their battles.

The longer Tang San's attack lasted, the faster his backup plan dissipated, and the stronger the suppression of the plane's laws became against him. If this continued, let alone killing Shu Yan, he would probably be cleaved in two by Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Demon Scythe.

Thinking of this, Tang Hao gritted his teeth, then suddenly raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. Countless bolts of lightning exploded, and the Clear Sky Hammer continued to grow larger amidst the lightning. In the end, the diameter of the hammerhead exceeded five hundred meters. The dark golden giant hammer almost blotted out the entire sky and earth. Tang Hao brought the hammer down with all his might, roaring at the same time:

"The Great Sumeru Hammer!"

"Bibi Dong, die!"

Bibi Dong frowned as she watched the giant hammer descend from above. The Great Sumeru Hammer was a divine skill, and only by breaking through to the divine level could the full power of the Great Sumeru Hammer be unleashed.

The power of Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer attack had exceeded her expectations. Looking at Shu Yan, who was still absorbing the energy of the two divine beasts, Bibi Dong cursed under her breath, then muttered:

"Shu Yan, you're really going to get me into serious trouble this time..."

Her strength has barely returned to the god level. Having lost her Rakshasa godhood, she was only able to recover to the god level by borrowing the power of the origin of the underworld. Tang Hao was suppressed by the laws of the plane, and his realm was almost the same as hers, which is why she was able to contend with him and even gain the upper hand. However, this Great Sumeru Hammer can allow Tang Hao to unleash an attack power far exceeding his current realm. If she wants to block it, the price she needs to pay will not be small.

Just as Bibi Dong was about to begin burning her divine power, a faint, aloof figure suddenly appeared beside her.

"Wait, let me help you."

Xue Ling placed one hand on Bibi Dong's shoulder. A flash of light appeared in her hand, and the Ice God Sword appeared in the next instant. Bibi Dong looked at Xue Ling with some surprise, and then nodded slightly.

Two divine powers intertwined, the light of the divine weapon flickering within them. The next moment, a pillar of light formed by the fusion of ice blue and purplish-black soared into the sky, directly confronting the enormous Haotian Hammer...
