Chapter 213 A Sound Shakes the Heavens
"Ugh~"
A resounding dragon roar instantly rang out, and Yu Tianyun pushed off with both feet, charging headlong into the Haotian Hammer like a giant cannon.
The spear in his hand carried a resolute air, its tip pointing directly at the center of the Haotian Hammer.
A tense atmosphere filled the air, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
"Clang~"
The Blue Lightning Emperor Spear and the Clear Sky Hammer collided, producing a deafening metallic clang, and a powerful energy shockwave swept towards the ground.
Although this shockwave still created a large crater, it was different from the previous ones.
The ground, hardened by the repeated impacts of their battle, began to ripple.
Ripples rose in layers, like surging ocean waves, each layer reaching a height of ten meters. The ground churned, forming a terrifying tsunami of mud and rocks, mercilessly devouring everything around it.
The lush forests and azure lakes were all reduced to nothing by the terrifying aftershocks!
Even the majestic green mountain that had helped Tang Hao catch his breath earlier was not spared, and a small part of it collapsed instantly.
Tang Hao and Yu Tianyun were both forced backward by the powerful reaction force.
Tang Hao's body spun around, and another trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes grew even colder and more resolute. The stronger Yu Tianyun appeared, the more intense his killing intent became.
Yu Tianyun, holding the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear, drew a trench nearly a hundred meters long in the ground before stopping. His breathing finally became more rapid, but the fervor in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Keep going, it's not enough!" Yu Tianyun stood up straight and shouted excitedly.
Tang Hao sneered, "Hmph, do you think you can leave here alive? Today, it's either you or me who dies!"
After saying that, Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer again, his aura rising continuously, and a black energy vortex seemed to form around him, devouring everything.
Seeing this, Yu Tianyun dared not be negligent. He arched his back, stretching the dragon tendons in his spine to their limit, which made a constant creaking sound. He mobilized all his soul power and poured it into the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear. Instantly, the blue-gold light on the spear became more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
The two charged at each other again, engaging in another fierce battle.
The Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Lightning Emperor Spear collided violently, sending terrifying shockwaves scattering in all directions. Immediately afterward, both were sent flying backward simultaneously, demonstrating their evenly matched strength.
Tang Hao's heart sank. Although his attack this time did not continue to explode the rings, the attack power was definitely stronger than the last time because of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique which had been charged up for several more rounds. He did not understand why Yu Tianyun could still be evenly matched with him.
Despite his doubts, Tang Hao continued his actions. The moment he landed, his entire left foot, spinning rapidly, sank into the hard ground like a drill. The Clear Sky Hammer continued to spin under the powerful momentum of his body.
"If two rings aren't enough, then keep bombing!"
Tang Hao stared coldly at Yu Tianyun. As his body spun and gathered power, his third and fourth spirit rings shattered once again, and his aura noticeably increased.
"Again!"
Tang Hao roared and attacked Yu Tianyun with his hammer again. But the result disappointed him. Yu Tianyun's power seemed inexhaustible. No matter how strong he used his power, Yu Tianyun could always hold his own.
Tang Hao refused to believe in superstition. He didn't believe that Yu Tianyun's power was truly inexhaustible. He believed that as long as he continued to accumulate power, he would eventually be able to suppress it.
Boom—Boom—Boom—
Yu Tianyun and Tang Hao's figures constantly clashed in this area, each collision causing the heavens and earth to change color. The Clear Sky Hammer carried the power to destroy everything, while the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear was like a ferocious ancient beast, colliding with the hammer time and time again.
The energy fluctuations on the battlefield grew increasingly intense, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorting. Each burst of energy shockwave was like a terrifying natural disaster, forming constantly surging and undulating waves of mud and rocks.
In the blink of an eye, the earth had been utterly destroyed by this rampaging, violent energy.
"It really is Tang Hao. Is this the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?"
Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin finally arrived at the edge of the battlefield. They were deeply shocked by the breathtaking battle unfolding before them.
"Who is the other person?" Yu Yuanzhen frowned. Yu Tianyun, who was covered in armor, gave him a feeling that was both close and oppressive.
He felt that he and that person seemed to have some blood relationship, but his martial spirit was suppressed.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Possessing the number one beast martial soul in the world, he was always the one suppressing others; he had never been the one being suppressed. This horrified him.
Although Chen Xin beside him didn't experience these sensations, he was equally dumbfounded. "He actually directly confronted the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique head-on?"
He was very familiar with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. As he also possessed the Seven Kill Sword, a top-tier weapon spirit, he had always been unconvinced by the Clear Sky Hammer, which was hailed as the number one weapon spirit in the world.
When he first broke through to the Title Douluo level, he went to the Clear Sky Sect and challenged Tang Zhen, the sect leader at the time.
The two had similar soul power levels, but Chen Xin had mastered the Seven Kill Domain, so he defeated Tang Zhen relatively easily in the end.
His assessment of Tang Zhen was that he had some skill, but not much. The Clear Sky Hammer wasn't as powerful as the legends suggested, and wasn't significantly stronger than his Seven Kill Sword.
Techniques like the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian can be easily countered by techniques such as Man and Sword as One and the Seven Kill Sword Technique.
However, when dealing with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, he did not directly confront it like the person in front of him. Instead, he dodged and weaved, looking for an opportunity to interrupt the opponent's power-building.
To be able to directly clash with the Clear Sky Hammer, how powerful must its strength be?
Moreover, Tang Hao in his current state of exploding rings felt several times stronger than Tang Zhen had been before, and he even felt somewhat at a loss when facing Tang Hao like this.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and she suppressed the urge to get involved.
Stealing a glance at Yu Yuanzhen beside him, he saw that Yu Yuanzhen also had a furrowed brow and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It seems that even Old Dragon isn't confident in dealing with these two. Sigh..."
Tang Hao and Yu Tianyun seemed completely oblivious to their arrival, still engrossed in their fierce battle. Their attacks grew increasingly ferocious, and the power they unleashed became ever more terrifying.
Tang Hao, who had not fought for fourteen years, had his passion reignited. He fought with increasing ferocity, as if the once-renowned Haotian Douluo had returned.
Similarly, Tang Hao wasn't the only one with a racing heart; Yu Tianyun, who was fiercely exchanging blows with him, was also deeply moved.
At this moment, Yu Tianyun exuded a terrifying aura, as if a terrifying dragon beast was hidden within him.
This was his first time facing an opponent of this caliber. In the past, he had speculated about his own strength, but those were just speculations. Without actually fighting, he couldn't clearly understand just how strong he really was.
But now, under Tang Hao's increasingly powerful attacks, he is gradually gaining a clearer understanding of his own strength.
He could say with certainty that on Douluo Star, his strength was second only to a dragon!
This dragon does not refer to Di Tian, but to one of the two incarnations of the Dragon God—the Silver Dragon King.
This wasn't Yu Tianyun boasting; on the contrary, it was a very conservative estimate.
At this moment, Tang Hao had already shattered two more ten-thousand-year spirit rings, bringing the total number of spirit rings shattered to six. Every attack he made was terrifyingly powerful. Even Yu Yuanzhen probably wouldn't choose to confront it head-on.
However, Yu Tianyun still managed to parry the attack steadily with his Blue Lightning Overlord Spear, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.
Keep in mind, he hasn't even used his full strength yet!
It was merely a martial soul possession and the armor formed by using a soul bone fusion technique, but he did not mobilize the power within the armor. He only thought it looked good and used it to show off.
If he truly unleashed the power of the armor, he could probably kill Tang Hao instantly.
If they actually did that, it would be pointless. Yu Tianyun's goal was to use Tang Hao to familiarize himself with his surging power, learn the martial arts in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, and gain experience fighting against experts. (Actually, he didn't gain much experience; both of them were reckless, it was all a contest of numbers, with no skill involved.)
Therefore, Yu Tianyun was constantly using his peerless Douluo-level mental power to probe the power contained in each of Tang Hao's hammer blows, in order to prevent himself from unleashing too much power and accidentally killing Tang Hao instantly.
He only used his sixth soul ring skill – the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear. He didn't use any of his other soul skills, including soul bone skills, nor did he use his strongest trump card, the Great Sumeru Hammer, which was the same as Tang Hao's.
Even in this state, he was already fighting Tang Hao, who was in his peak form, with ease. If he were to unleash his full power, it would be unimaginable.
Even if the Silver Dragon King were to intervene, he would likely need to rely on his dragon god bloodline, which is a level higher than Yu Tianyun's, to suppress him. Otherwise, under the suppression of the plane's rules, the Silver Dragon King could only unleash the power of a third-level god, making it very difficult for him to defeat Yu Tianyun.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
……
As the two clashed with incredible ferocity, the commotion finally reached Heaven Dou City.
"Why is it thundering?"
"Yeah! How can it thunder in broad daylight?"
"..."
Everyone in the Great Soul Arena heard the continuous rumble of thunder from the sky. They looked up at the sky in bewilderment, but could only hear the thunder and not see the lightning.
Only Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas, who were in the VIP seats, looked horrified.
The direction from which the thunder came was exactly where Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin had left, immediately sparking some connections among the three of them.
"Sect Master Ning, could this have been made by the two Your Majesties?" Emperor Xueye looked at Ning Fengzhi with a solemn expression. He did not want the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to fight, as this would only weaken the strength of their Heavenly Dou Empire.
Salas also looked at Ning Fengzhi, hoping to glean some information from Ning Fengzhi's answer. If Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin were truly engaged in a fierce battle, it would undoubtedly be highly advantageous to his Spirit Hall.
However, he felt that this was unlikely. The two families had already formed a marriage alliance, so how could a battle break out so easily?
Even if it was to deceive the Spirit Hall, wasn't this acting a bit too clumsy?
Moreover, judging from the expressions on Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin's faces when they left, he felt that there might be another hidden story, and that there was most likely someone else fighting.
So besides the Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what other forces possess this level of combat power?
The name "Haotian Sect" instantly flashed into Salas's mind.
Does this mean the Haotian Sect is no longer going to cower in fear? Or is it Tang Hao?
Salas's eyes lit up, feeling he had probably guessed the truth. However, he still had a question: who was fighting Tang Hao? Could it be Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin who had just arrived? Or was it someone else? Surely it couldn't be Dugu Bo, the weakest Title Douluo?
Ning Fengzhi was also very puzzled at this moment, and he naturally thought of the same thing Salas had thought of.
However, he had more worries than Salas. What if Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin really did spar and then really got into a fight? Although he thought it was unlikely, as a direct stakeholder, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
But when he looked at Emperor Xueye, he calmly said, "Your Majesty, Fengzhi doesn't know either, but it seems that Uncle Yu and Uncle Jian must have sensed something, which is why they rushed over to investigate."
Emperor Xueye nodded, agreeing with Ning Fengzhi's reasoning. "Sect Leader Ning, how about I send some people over to assist the two Your Majesties?"
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded in agreement.
Although reason told him that it was probably not Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin fighting, he still had to make some preparations just in case.
Then, Emperor Xue Ye turned to Xue Qinghe behind him and said, "Qinghe, take some people and go check it out."
"Yes, Father!" Xue Qinghe bowed and turned to count the number of people.
On the other side, Ning Fengzhi also ordered the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to go and check.
Salas couldn't sit still any longer and looked at Emperor Xueye, saying, "Your Majesty, someone who can create such a commotion must be a Title Douluo-level expert. For the safety of the people of Heaven Dou City, my Spirit Hall also has an obligation to do its part."
"Then we'll have Bishop Lausaras," Emperor Snow Night said with a forced smile.
Immediately afterwards, Salas also sent personnel from the Spirit Temple to investigate, while the three big shots continued to leisurely watch the match.
Emperor Xueye's cultivation level is not high, so he would not easily take risks; Ning Fengzhi is similar. Without the protection of Sword Douluo, he would not dare to go to such dangerous places. Not to mention anything else, what if he were kidnapped by the Spirit Hall on the way? That would truly be walking into a trap.
Salas's decision not to go was simply due to his preference for safety and his cautious approach.
Although he was strong enough, he was only a Soul Douluo. Seeing the huge commotion coming from there, he was even more convinced that it was Tang Hao. Someone who dared to kill even the Pope, dealing with a mere Soul Douluo like him would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?
He only earns tens of thousands of gold soul coins a month, why risk his life? Let the people below him take the risks, and he can keep the credit. Isn't that better?
