Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Azure Bull Python suddenly retreated, widening the distance between itself and Bibi Dong.

"Take Xiao San and Xiao Wu away."

Tang Hao landed beside the Azure Bull Python, his voice low and calm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"I'll cover the rear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao didn't wait for the Azure Bull Python to respond, and his soul power began to surge wildly within him.

It was a power that made everyone present change color.

Tang Hao slammed his feet into the ground, and the earth beneath his feet cracked and collapsed as if struck by a heavy hammer.

Nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.

Nine spirit rings surrounded Tang Hao, radiating a breathtaking light.

But the next second, something unexpected happened.

Kara-la-la—

Fine cracks appeared on the first black ten-thousand-year spirit ring. The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, covering the entire spirit ring in an instant.

With a crisp crack, the soul ring shattered, turning into countless black specks of light that dissipated into the air.

However, those light spots did not disappear; instead, they surged wildly into Tang Hao's body.

Tang Hao's aura surged dramatically the instant his spirit ring shattered.

Crackling sound.

The second soul ring shattered, and countless points of light entered his body.

The third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth.

One soul ring after another shattered, and with each shattered ring, Tang Hao's aura rose to a higher level.

His robes fluttered under the impact of the soul power, his hair stood on end, and blue veins appeared on the surface of his skin. These veins slithered under his skin like earthworms, and a faint golden light could be seen flowing through them.

"Broken Ring".

This is the ultimate technique of the Haotian Sect.

In exchange for spirit rings, one can gain power beyond the limits.

With each shattered soul ring, the burden on the body increased, and the violent power surged into the meridians like a flood, frantically tearing at every inch of flesh and blood.

Blood trickled from the corner of Tang Hao's mouth; it was the mark left by the impact of soul power on his internal organs.

His body was trembling, not from fear, but because the force was too great, so great that his body could barely withstand it.

But Tang Hao did not stop.

When the ninth spirit ring, the 100,000-year spirit ring, shattered, Tang Hao's aura reached its peak.

The ground beneath his feet could not withstand the pressure, and the ground within a radius of tens of meters sank three feet.

"The Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Tang Hao gripped the hammer with both hands, and the Haotian Hammer began to expand in his hands.

One time, two times, five times, ten times.

The hammer grew rapidly at a visible speed, and the ancient patterns on the hammer surface shone with a dazzling golden light, as if some ancient being had awakened in this hammer.

That was not a simple enlargement, but the ultimate condensation of power, the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique passed down for many years by the Haotian Sect.

At the cost of shattered rings, risking their lives, a single strike decides the fate of the world.

The Haotian Hammer eventually expanded to a length of over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), with a hammerhead diameter exceeding two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), resembling a small mountain suspended above Tang Hao's head.

The oppressive aura emanating from that giant hammer caused everyone present to change their expressions. The cardinals' legs went weak, and some even involuntarily retreated.

Tang Hao's arm muscles were stretched to their limit, and cracks appeared on his skin, from which blood seeped out, a sign that his body could not withstand the force.

But he was completely unaware; his eyes were burning with golden light.

"go!"

The Azure Bull Python did not hesitate.

It opened its mouth and spewed out a thick bolt of blue lightning, which swept across the area, forcing back the cardinals who tried to stop it.

With a flick of its tail, it swept up Xiao Wu and galloped wildly into the depths of the forest.

The Titan Ape also moved.

A white energy ball condensed in its right palm, spinning rapidly and emitting a buzzing sound.

The Titan Giant Ape hurled an energy blast at Demon Slayer Douluo, who parried with his staff. The shockwave from the blast forced him back more than ten steps.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Titan Giant Ape rushed to Tang San's side in three strides, grabbed Tang San with its fan-like hand, put him on its shoulder, and ran wildly into the depths of the forest without looking back.

"father!"

Tang San, held captive by the Titan Giant Ape, turned back to look at the battlefield, his eyes red-rimmed, his voice filled with heart-wrenching sobs.

Tang Hao did not turn around.

He heard his son's voice, his grip on the hammer tightened, and blood seeped from his clenched teeth.

"Break for me!!"

Tang Hao roared and slammed the Clear Sky Hammer down.

That was no ordinary swing, but the full force of the Great Sumeru Hammer.

The Haotian Hammer, over ten zhang long, descended from the sky, enveloping the entire battlefield in its shadow.

Where the hammer struck, the air was torn apart, producing a piercing explosion; space itself was visibly distorted, as if even heaven and earth could not withstand the weight of the hammer.

The earth had already begun to collapse before the Haotian Hammer fell. The invisible pressure pressed down as if it were a physical force, crushing the rubble into dust and compacting the soil to its limit.

The cardinals were pinned to the ground by this pressure and unable to move. Several of the weaker ones coughed up blood and fainted.

Bibi Dong's face turned ashen. She felt the power contained in that hammer blow, a power that was enough to threaten her life.

The ninth soul skill, Undying Body, was activated at full power.

A purplish-black light appeared on Bibi Dong's body, and at the same time, her twin martial souls were activated, with the bodies of the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor appearing alternately on her body.

Both Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo felt a deadly threat.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon appeared behind them, but this time it was not used for attack, but for defense.

The golden dragon coiled its body in a circle, protecting them in the center.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Spatial Tear Abyss Slash!"

"Ninth Soul Skill, Annihilation of Ten Thousand Jun!"

"Ninth Soul Skill, Salvation of All Beings!"

The three titled Douluo attacked simultaneously, unleashing their three strongest attacks to meet the Clear Sky Hammer that descended from the sky.

Rumbling--

A deafening roar, not an ordinary explosion, but a thunderous sound as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking.

A mushroom cloud rose from the forest, destroying everything within a radius of hundreds of meters. The earth was turned upside down, and rubble and soil were thrown hundreds of meters into the air.

The shockwave swept outwards from the battlefield, uprooting ancient trees and blowing them away like straw.

The light was so dazzling, it was as if a sun was rising from the ground.

Tang San, perched on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, turned around and saw the rising mushroom cloud. He felt his father's presence vanish completely in that instant, and his heart felt as if it had been clenched and crushed. Tears welled up in his eyes.

But he did not stop the Titan Ape.

Tang San knew that it was an opportunity his father had earned with his own life, and he couldn't let it down.

The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape raced wildly through the Star Dou Great Forest, one after the other.

The massive body of the Azure Bull Python rampaged through the dense forest, smashing down trees that blocked its path. The Titan Ape followed closely behind, each step covering tens of meters.

Xiao Wu was wrapped around the tail of the Azure Bull Python. She was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. She just kept looking back at the battlefield that had been razed to the ground.

They ran for most of the day, until the pursuers behind them were getting further and further away, and Bibi Dong's aura completely disappeared from their perception range.

The Titan Ape finally slowed down, and the Azure Bull Python also stopped.

At this moment, both were at their last gasp, panting heavily.

Tang San slid down from the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

"We're safe now..."

The Azure Bull Python's voice was hoarse and weary; its body was covered in wounds corroded by venom, and blue blood was still seeping out.

Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared in the sky above.

A man dressed in a golden robe was floating in mid-air, looking down at them.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to be so lucky. As soon as I arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest, I encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

The man's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, carrying a natural composure and authority.

Tang San suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting sharply.

He recognized the person.

The current Heavenly Emperor, Xue Qinghe.

Chapter 488 The Fall of Erming, Qian Renxue's Eighth Soul Ring

The moment Tang San's gaze fell on Xue Qinghe's face, before any thoughts could even form in his mind, the Titan Giant Ape beside him had already moved.

From the Titan Ape's perspective, although they had temporarily shaken off Bibi Dong, now was definitely not the time to reveal their location.

The origins of the person in front of them were unknown, but the fact that this young man could be so composed deep in the Star Dou Great Forest was itself strange.

Rather than waiting for the other party to make the first move, it's better to strike first.

The Titan Ape slammed its legs off the ground, its massive body unleashing a speed completely disproportionate to its size, leaping up like a small mountain and crashing down on Xue Qinghe in mid-air.

"Soul Skill, Titan Sky Cannon."
