The Clear Sky Hammer, carrying an unmatched momentum, crashed into the pale white light. Instantly, the world darkened. A dense black light erupted from the hammer, like an abyss devouring everything.
The pale white light, which should have petrified all energy, was powerless against the black glow. In a flash, it was completely defeated, melting and vanishing without a trace.
Immediately after, Dugu Bo's Eighth Soul Skill, Time Solidification, released a torrent of emerald light that temporarily trapped Tang Hao's form.
But the wielder of the hammer only paused for an instant before, with a crisp crack like shattering glass, the emerald light instantly broke into countless fragments, disappearing completely.
"How is this possible?!" Dugu Bo's face changed dramatically, his pupils contracting as he spoke. "My Eighth Soul Skill was actually shattered directly by one of his hammer strikes?"
The next second, a horrifying thought flashed through his mind: Tang Hao's spirit power Rank was probably at least around ninety-six! Even more terrifying was the dense Aura emanating from the Spirit Rings on Tang Hao's body; almost all of it was raw, unparalleled power.
No fancy techniques, no intricate controlâjust a terrifying existence that accumulated power to the extreme. Such an enemy, even without using a Spirit Ability, could shake everything with sheer brute force!
Just as Dugu Bo was momentarily stunned, Tang Hao's figure appeared before him as if by Teleportation. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, shrouded in a monstrous black glow, smashed down again. The entire space seemed to tremble under this strike.
The Emperor's Appearance
Just as the giant hammer descended, a blue-gold light suddenly illuminated behind Dugu Bo. This light was extremely dazzling, like the rising sun, instantly tearing through the haze of the poisonous mist, acting like a barrier between Tang Hao and Dugu Bo. At this moment, the entire world seemed to stand still. Everyone within Heaven Dou City was drawn to this blue-gold light.
Tang Hao was about to smash down the Clear Sky Hammer, but the sudden appearance of this scene immediately caused his heart to tremble. In that instant, he felt an extremely rich life Aura. What made him feel most incredulous was that he was very familiar with this life Aura!
The giant hammer in his hand paused in mid-air. Tang Hao didn't rush to strike but suddenly looked intently behind Dugu Bo. He saw the poisonous mist suddenly surge open, revealing a strange and grand sight.
In the depths of the poisonous mist, a golden vertical eye, more than ten meters high, had appeared. That vertical eye quietly overlooked everything around it, its pressure like a mountain, making people's hearts palpitate.
When Tang Hao clearly saw the Origin of that vertical eye, his heart trembled even more violently. It wasn't condensed from energy at all; instead, it was woven and bound by countless blue-gold Blue Silver Grass!
"What is this?" His pupils suddenly contracted. Tang Hao's face showed disbelief, and he seemed frozen in place.
The next second, the blue-gold light shone on his face, like gentle ripples, rushing straight to the deepest memories in his heart.
"Is this Blue Silver Grass? No! This is... Blue Silver Emperor?" Tang Hao's voice suddenly trembled, his eyes instantly reddened. "Ah Yin... is that you?"
The Price of Fate
But just as he was stunned, a dazzling blue-gold light suddenly erupted from the golden vertical eye! The next second, this light condensed into a light pillar that shot across the sky, carrying an irresistible force, instantly piercing through the long sky and directly striking Tang Hao.
Boomâ!
Space seemed to collapse in an instant. Looking intently, Tang Hao's body was instantly swallowed by the blue-gold light, and even the surrounding air vibrated! He was like a golden giant at this moment!
In just a blink of an eye, Tang Hao felt uncomfortable all over, as if an inexplicable bad luck was pressing down on him. His entire body was frozen in place, unable to move.
The next second, his face gradually twisted, his body instantly turned purplish-black, and even his lips blackened. That was a sign of the Death Spider Emperor's venom in his body being agitated and spreading uncontrollably.
"This is..." Frowning slightly, Dugu Bo showed surprise, then turned his head to look behind him.
Suddenly, he felt an unusual Aura. This blue-gold light was precisely Tang Chen's Fifth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Fate's Lament! It could manifest the power of fate to bring misfortune upon his opponent.
Under Tang Hao's immense spirit power suppression, when he fought with others, the residual Death Spider Emperor venom in his body originally had only a ten percent chance of being agitated, activated, and spread. But now, under the effect of Blue Silver Fate's Lament, this probability instantly surged to ninety percent!
"Coughâ!" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang Hao's face was as pale as paper. He rapidly retreated backward, his hand clutching his chest tightly, quickly urging his spirit power to suppress the venom in his body.
What was worse was the old injury left by Qian Daoliu's pursuit more than ten years ago. At this moment, it also ruptured in his body. It was truly a case of 'when it rains, it pours,' and his entire body felt as if it was being torn into pieces by this invisible misfortune.
Domains Collide
Just then, Tang Chen slowly walked out of the poisonous mist. The Blue Silver Grass surrounding his body shimmered with a faint light, making Tang Hao feel a little uneasy.
"This... This is Blue Silver Emperor? How do you have this Spirit?" Tang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face changed dramatically. "Did something happen to Ah Yin?"
At the same time, a dark and gloomy scene surged into Tang Hao's mind: a deep, dark cave, damp and dark, never seeing sunlight throughout the year. On a small mound in the middle, a blue-gold Blue Silver Grass was growing prominently.
The next second, his eyes instantly turned blood-red, and the Killing Intent all over his body suddenly surged. The water vapor in the surrounding air was frozen into ice beads by this Killing Intent, making it cold and eerie.
"Killing Intent materialization? Is this a Domain? He... has murderous intent," Dugu Bo's face changed. He quickly protected Tang Chen and reminded him in a low voice.
Above the dark night sky, a silver moon hung high. On a rooftop of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Xiao Ruier was Cultivating cross-legged. Suddenly, she seemed to feel something as well, slowly opening her eyes and looking up at the blue-gold light in the distant sky.
"This seems to be... Tang Chen's Fifth Soul Skill?" Xiao Ruier's face changed slightly, her brows furrowed as she muttered softly. "Is he fighting with someone? No, I have to go and see!"
As her words fell, she flashed, instantly stood up, and soared into the air, then shot toward the direction from which the light came, her movements swift and decisive. At the same time, a crimson figure also quietly followed behind her.
Cold, eerie, evil, terrifyingâa vast Killing Intent so powerful it made one tremble rushed forward like a ferocious beast. Tang Chen clearly felt that everything on his body and around him seemed to become sluggish in this immensely vast Killing Intent.
"Is this the Slaughter God Domain?" Tang Chen's eyes showed no trace of retreat. "You have a Domain, do I not?"
He suddenly let out a low roar, and his spirit power surged out. Instantly, countless Blue Silver Grass grew wildly from his feet, shoulders, and all around him, like the power of life drawn from the depths of heaven and earth, filling the surrounding space.
Immediately after, an incomparably brilliant blue-gold light erupted from his body. That was the Origin Aura of life and nature, pure and resilient, directly opposite to Killing Intent.
The next second, the Blue Silver Domain spread out and collided head-on with Tang Hao's Slaughter God Domain. Blood-red and blue-gold intertwined and tore in mid-air, as if heaven and earth were split in half. On one side was the death Aura of cold slaughter. On the other side was the vibrant yet unstoppable power of life.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass, driven by the Blue Silver Domain, swayed wildly against the Killing Intent like a thousand vine whips, forcefully tearing open a path through that suffocating oppressive feeling.
"Is this Ah Yin's Blue Silver Domain?" Tang Hao's blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Tang Chen. His face was now as grim as stagnant water, his gaze extremely cold, his body filled with surging Killing Intent, breathing heavily as he spoke. "How did you get your Blue Silver Emperor Spirit?"
Having been with Ah Yin for many years, he naturally understood that there could only be one Blue Silver Emperor in this world. If the Spirit of the person in front of him was the Blue Silver Emperor, then what would happen to his son, Tang San, in the future?
"How I got it, what does that have to do with you?" Tang Chen scoffed. "My Spirit comes from my mother. It is only right and proper for me to inherit her Spirit!"
