"Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!"
Seeing that the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's claws were moving so fast they left no afterimages, Tang Xiao immediately unleashed the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. His muscles tightened, spirit focused, and with all his strength, he began smashing the Clear Sky Hammer wildly at the tiger.
Mind and body became one, all attacks focused on a single point—this was the principle of overwhelming power defeating myriad techniques: brute force creates miracles.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With every clash between the Clear Sky Hammer and the tiger's claws, thunderous explosions echoed through the valley. Ripples of force vibrated through the air, and the surrounding cliffs were soon covered in a dense web of cracks.
"This big tiger… its strength is terrifying!"
Tang Xiao gasped in awe. Without any soul skills to amplify his power, his raw physical strength couldn't compare to the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's, and he was pushed back again and again.
However, after sixty consecutive hammer strikes, the Chaotic Cloak Technique had fully built up its momentum. The mounting power allowed Tang Xiao to go toe-to-toe with the Star Luo Sacred Tiger. In the following collisions, the tiger gradually began to fall behind.
Just as the tiger was about to be knocked off the cliff again, Dai Weisi was forced to activate another ability.
"Soul Bone Skill: Netherworld Domain!"
An invisible wave spread out and instantly enveloped Tang Xiao. As he stared at the massive form of the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, a sudden wave of dread washed over him, weakening the strength in his arms.
"What is this? Is it some kind of domain?" Tang Xiao quickly discerned the nature of the soul bone skill, but couldn't shake the overwhelming fear it caused.
It felt just like watching a terrifying horror movie—he knew it wasn't real, yet his instincts couldn't help but tremble. He had to rely on pure willpower to resist the fear.
Meanwhile, with the activation of the soul bone skill, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's speed and attack power increased significantly. It once again lunged at Tang Xiao.
In the battles that followed, Tang Xiao—affected by the Netherworld Domain—couldn't perform at full strength, while the Star Luo Sacred Tiger fought more fiercely with every clash.
The hammer raged, claws danced, and the two exchanged blows without either side gaining the upper hand.
But a stalemate was all Dai Weisi needed. He glanced at the incense stick in Tang Yuehua's hand. Originally twenty centimeters long, it now had only a fifth remaining. If he could hold out just a little longer, victory would be his.
Tang Xiao had noticed this too. Forcing himself to ignore the discomfort, he channeled all his power into a heavy strike at the Star Luo Sacred Tiger.
"Use force against force! Vibration to soften the blow! Clear Sky Nine Absolutes—Vibration Command!"
As the Clear Sky Hammer surged forward with violent tremors, Dai Weisi's heart skipped a beat. With no room to dodge, he hastily gathered soul power and called out:
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Barrier!"
A radiant golden light burst forth, forming a protective shield in front of the Star Luo Sacred Tiger. It barely held off Tang Xiao's thunderous hammer strike.
But as a Titled Douluo, Tang Xiao's soul power was immense. That attack carried devastating, thunderous power, and the moment the hammer landed on the shield, countless cracks spiderwebbed across its surface. It could perhaps endure one more hit—no more.
At that moment, Dai Weisi saw Tang Xiao lifting his hammer again, preparing to deliver another devastating blow.
"I have to block this one too… and then look for an opening!"
With that resolve, Dai Weisi's sixth soul ring flared into brilliance.
"Sixth Soul Skill: White Tiger Evil God Transformation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of wicked storm energy erupted from his body, forming black armor that covered the Star Luo Sacred Tiger.
Star Luo Sacred Tiger: Armored Form — Engage!
In armored form, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger grew even larger. Its black, sleek battle armor made it look incredibly intimidating—majestic and full of power.
"It can transform into an armored form?!"
Tang Xiao was momentarily startled, but the hammer in his hands didn't slow for a second. Lightning crackled along its head as he brought it crashing toward the tiger's face.
"Let's see if you can handle this! Combine force and technique—break through in a single strike! Clear Sky Nine Absolutes—Break Command!"
With the Break Command, the Clear Sky Hammer seemed to carry the weight of mountains and seas. The sheer wind pressure from its swing alone made Dai Weisi's heart tremble.
He didn't need to guess—if that hammer landed, the result would be devastating.
"Lord Xiaotian, let me show you my power—Evil God's Protection!"
As soon as he spoke, a gray storm descended from the skies, merging with the White Tiger Barrier. The dual defenses wrapped around the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, shielding Dai Weisi and his companions.
Boom!
Under the combined might of the White Tiger Barrier and Evil God's Protection, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger barely withstood Tang Xiao's Break Command.
At that moment, a streak of purple light flashed across the tiger's chest. Two smaller Star Luo Sacred Tigers instantly appeared beside the original, charging straight at Tang Xiao.
"Soul Bone Skill: Netherworld Clone!"
"It can even create clones?!" Tang Xiao was shocked, but there was no time for surprise. The two Netherworld clones were already upon him, forcing him to swing the Clear Sky Hammer and battle them both.
As for the original tiger, it stood silently atop the mountain peak, quietly restoring its soul power. Time ticked by unnoticed, until the incense in Tang Yuehua's hand burned completely to ash. She quickly shouted:
"Stop! Time's up! Big Brother—you lost!"
"What?! Time passed that fast…"
Tang Xiao exclaimed in disbelief. He had hoped to destroy the two Netherworld clones within the remaining minute and then resume his fight with the real tiger. He hadn't expected time to slip away so quickly.
But he wasn't the kind of man who couldn't accept defeat. Once he confirmed the match was over, he withdrew his Clear Sky Hammer and returned to the Clear Sky Sect. Dai Weisi, accompanied by Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, also returned to the sect's main mountain.
Dai Weisi smiled and asked, "Lord Xiaotian, what do you say now?"
"I accept the outcome of the wager! Since I lost, once the alliance ceremony is completed, I'll formally announce the unsealing of the Clear Sky Sect and declare our support for the Star Luo Empire!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Weisi was overjoyed. With the Clear Sky Sect drawing the attention of Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire would gain precious time to grow in peace.
During this period, he had to quickly raise his strength—and the national power of the Star Luo Empire. His first priority was to further expand the White Tiger Army.
Currently, the White Tiger Army numbered 50,000. To avoid leaks to Spirit Hall, Dai Weisi had been secretly training his troops.
But once the alliance with the Clear Sky Sect was official, Spirit Hall would shift its focus elsewhere. After all, the Clear Sky Sect—home to six Titled Douluo—was the greater threat, especially with Tang Hao, the infamous Killing God, still lurking in the world.
While Spirit Hall concentrated on the Clear Sky Sect, Dai Weisi could fully devote himself to training his forces. He could raise the White Tiger Army to 100,000—or even 200,000 strong!
Moreover, the number of firearms would have to increase. He also intended to develop even more powerful firearms. As for funding?
Once Ning Fengzhi arrived to purchase Prism Grass, military and research funding would no longer be an issue.
Dai Weisi couldn't wait. "In that case, many thanks, Lord Xiaotian. I'll write to Grandpa and Grandma right away—ask them to come to the Clear Sky Sect so we can plan our next move!"
Such a monumental alliance couldn't be decided alone—he had to inform Dai Pojun and the others.
