I've recently started a new translation, please check it out and show your support! Name: 'Douluo: Martial Soul Heavenly Flame, Flame Emperor'
----------------------
Qian Renxue naturally saw through Tang Hao's intentions. In the original storyline, Tang Hao had struck once with his hammer and then fled with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Though Qian Renxue knew that Tang Hao wasn't truly her father's mortal enemy, it was undeniable that Tang Hao had gravely injured him.
Moreover, for the sake of the Spirit Hall's dignity, there was no way she could allow the situation to unfold as it had in the original plot and let this man escape!
"Chrysanthemum Elder! Ghost Elder!"
After ensuring Ye Wen's safety, Qian Renxue's true body returned with a fierce shout.
The two elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, immediately understood. They each stood at one side, their soul power surging and linking across the distance.
"Spirit Fusion Technique – Two-Pole Static Domain!!!"
Instantly, an enormous domain enveloped the entire battlefield, pinning Tang Hao firmly in place.
However, Tang Hao quickly reacted. He had faced this technique before when Tang San was born. With a roar, he activated his Killing God Domain, using its effects to resist the influence of the Spirit Fusion Technique's domain.
But just then, the Death Spider Empress, also trapped within the Two-Pole Static Domain, let out a piercing shriek. Its eight massive spider eyes glowed as it unleashed its innate domain—the Death Domain.
Though the Death Domain wasn't a godly domain, it carried three potent effects. First, it increased Bibi Dong's attributes by 10% while reducing the enemy's attributes by 20%, similar to the Killing God Domain.
Second, within the domain's range, enemies were unable to use any concealment or teleportation-type soul skills.
Third, it carried a mental shock effect, amplifying its user's spiritual strength by 20% while weakening the enemy's spiritual power by 20%.
At this moment, the three domains collided, compressing every inch of space in front of the Pope's hall to the point of distortion. The weaker Title Douluos on the periphery looked on in horror, realizing they didn't even have the ability to intervene!
However, aside from the Death Domain, Qian Renxue currently possessed two divine-bestowed domains: the Killing God Domain and the Rakshasa Domain.
Yet, she had no intention of using either. It wasn't because she felt pity for Tang Hao or wanted to hold back—it was because, after carefully reviewing Ye Tianhun's memories, she suspected something suspicious between the Rakshasa God and the Asura God.
Even a mere divine-bestowed domain—let alone such a powerful one—shouldn't have left another god's contingency plan on Bibi Dong's body after she was officially confirmed as the Rakshasa God's successor.
Furthermore, Hu Liena's inexplicable infatuation with Tang San, despite possessing the Killing God Domain, was equally strange. Thus, Qian Renxue boldly hypothesized that there might be some underhanded deal between the Rakshasa God and the Asura God.
Regardless of the ultimate purpose of this deal, judging by Bibi Dong's performance in ascending to godhood, the Rakshasa God seemed less interested in cultivating a successor and more focused on suppressing Bibi Dong's growth.
Otherwise, why would Bibi Dong's soul ring configuration be so lackluster compared to other gods?
At this moment, a dark green glow flickered around Qian Renxue as Bibi Dong's second super martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Empress, fully materialized.
Though this second martial soul lacked an innate domain and currently only had seven soul rings—six black and one red—no one present dared to underestimate Qian Renxue.
Just as Tang Hao had meticulously trained Tang San, the Soul Devouring Spider Empress, though lacking a domain, far surpassed the Death Spider Empress in terms of sheer attack power.
At this moment, Qian Renxue's mindset was extremely ruthless, and her actions reflected that mercilessness. Immediately after completing the martial soul attachment, the red soul ring representing a hundred thousand years on her body abruptly lit up, instantly propelling her into the True Body state.
"Tang Hao, die!" Qian Renxue roared fiercely, unleashing her sixth soul skill.
"Everlasting Wound!!!"
At this moment, the two massive scythe-like appendages on the Soul Devouring Spider Empress' head rose simultaneously, crossing diagonally and slashing outward. In the next instant, a giant green cross-shaped energy wave surged toward Tang Hao with overwhelming force.
In the original lore, this move was considered Bibi Dong's strongest killing technique, its effects were incredibly domineering. Not only did it ignore physical defenses, but it also reduced the effectiveness of energy-based defenses by 50%.
Moreover, any target struck by this soul skill would suffer endless spreading wounds, which could only be forcibly resisted with soul power. Unless one's cultivation far surpassed Bibi Dong's, the victim would be continuously eroded until death. Both in the novels and the manhua, Tang San had been severely wounded by this move.
Now, Tang Hao, who was already struggling against the dual domains and moving clumsily, suddenly sensed Qian Renxue's attack. His expression turned fearful, and without waiting for the optimal moment, he let out a fierce roar:
"Exploding Rings! Great Sumeru Hammer!"
At this moment, the final soul ring on Tang Hao's body shattered explosively—and it was a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Already amplified by double his usual combat strength, his power surged once again, reaching an unprecedented peak. The momentum surrounding him reached new heights as he unleashed the ultimate secret technique passed down by the Hao Tian Sect, forcefully breaking free from the suppression of the two domains. He then met the Everlasting Wound head-on.
Though the Everlasting Wound was powerful, it ultimately fell short against Tang Hao's full-powered burst. It was directly shattered by Tang Hao, dissipating into fragments of soul power that drifted through the air.
However, though Tang Hao appeared formidable, he was actually running on empty.
The Great Sumeru Hammer was the ultimate secret technique passed down by the Hao Tian Sect, reserved for those with the greatest talent, like the legendary original Hao Tian Douluo. It was said to be a technique that only gods could perfectly master.
Though Tang Hao was talented, he hadn't reached the level of perfect mastery. Over the past few centuries, only Tang Chen of the Hao Tian Sect had been able to execute the Great Sumeru Hammer flawlessly without harming himself.
During his battle with Qian Xunji years ago, Tang Hao had used this technique to defeat him but had also inflicted severe internal injuries on himself that had never fully healed.
Now, using this highly self-destructive ultimate technique again, Tang Hao, who already suffered from serious internal injuries, was essentially compounding his own wounds. Forget about fighting for three days and nights like he had with Qian Xunji—Tang Hao now doubted he could even last five minutes.
Knowing this, Qian Renxue had no intention of letting Tang Hao off the hook. Conveniently, while in the True Body state, her first six soul skills had no cooldown period. Thus, she unleashed the Everlasting Wound repeatedly, determined to leave Tang Hao with no chance of escape.
Tang Hao wanted to flee.
But even though Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were suffering backlash from their earlier broken Spirit Fusion Technique, there were still other Title Douluos present.
No matter how much Tang Hao tried to break free, he was inevitably controlled for a brief moment, allowing Qian Renxue to drag him back into the fight. Escape was impossible.
At this moment, Tang Hao deeply regretted his earlier arrogance. Why had he thought it was a good idea to act directly in the Spirit Hall? Wouldn't it have been better to ambush them after Ye Wen and the others returned?
