Li Chang'an's Pangu Axe was charged to its absolute limit. At the same time, Tang Hao had been hit by Li Chang'an's notorious skill, "Whoever You Stare at Will Shit Themselves". Combined with his old injuries, the earlier attacks, and the soul ring explosion backlash, his condition had deteriorated to the worst possible state. Even his mighty Clear Sky Hammer was now cracked from the clash with the Pangu Axe. He simply couldn't hold up anymore!
Summoning every last ounce of his strength, Tang Hao lifted his battered Clear Sky Hammer, determined to meet the strike head-on. Once again, the forest shook violently with the collision of soul power...
Even so, the Clear Sky Hammer was still the weapon of a Title Douluo. Despite everything, Tang Hao's final counterattack still dealt Li Chang'an a considerable blow—but that was the extent of it.
At this point, Tang Hao had already lost his left arm, blood gushing like a fountain. Wounds inflicted by the Pangu Axe were far from easy to heal.
Li Chang'an slumped to the ground a short distance away, gasping for breath. The Pangu Axe vanished into his space to be re-nourished. The Donghuang Bell, now dulled of its glow, was also stored away.
Tang Hao is a monster. Even with such a huge advantage, Li Chang'an had still been pushed to his limits. He had underestimated what it meant to stand at the peak of this world.
That said, Tang Hao's cultivation had plummeted to the Spirit Douluo level. His energy exhaustion was even more severe than Li Chang'an's. If Li Chang'an could keep attacking, then Tang Hao's death was only a matter of time.
But right now, Li Chang'an was covered in minor wounds and completely drained of energy. He didn't even have the strength left to move.
'What should I do? Tang Hao must die today. But in this state, I can't kill him, and he can't kill me. What an awkward stalemate...'
Tang Hao coughed, then rasped, "You, junior, are indeed exceptional—far beyond me, a Title Douluo. But this is your limit. Today, I don't expect to escape. I only ask for a clean death."
Tang Hao's eyes were as sharp as ever. He knew that as long as Li Chang'an died, his son Tang San would be the strongest genius alive—a prodigy with twin spirits!
Given time, Tang San could very well flatten the Spirit Hall and restore the glory of the Clear Sky Clan!
So in this broken body, Tang Hao had only one option left: take Li Chang'an down with him. That was the best outcome he could hope for.
"Ah Yin... I'm sorry. Soul Ring Explosion!"
With a thunderous roar, Tang Hao detonated his blood-red 100,000-year soul ring!
"Madman..." Li Chang'an sighed helplessly, then pulled out a fruit—and swallowed it. It was the Origin Fruit.
This was the second and final Origin Fruit he had received after completing a mission for the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena. He had never expected to use it so soon, but now there was no choice.
The Origin Fruit could heal the very essence of the soul. Even injuries that the Silver Dragon King herself couldn't recover from could be healed with it. Li Chang'an had barely scratched his own origin, but with this fruit, recovery was guaranteed.
The effect was instantaneous. Within a second, Li Chang'an felt fully restored!
No—more than restored! He was in the best state of his life—ten, no, dozens of times stronger than before!.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao had entered a berserk state. The explosion of his 100,000-year soul ring boosted his power to the peak of his former glory—though it would only last for a single blow.
Just one blow, yes—but it was terrifying. After all, this was an all-out strike from a near-God level Douluo!
The Clear Sky Hammer surged to an enormous five hundred meters in length. The ground within a hundred miles collapsed. Space itself cracked. The air became thick, heavy—like syrup. Chaotic and wild...
The pitch-black hammer, like a mountain descending from the sky, came crashing down on Li Chang'an.
His eye twitched. Space was too unstable—he couldn't teleport away. He had no choice but to take the hit head-on!
The ancient Donghuang Bell manifested again, shielding Li Chang'an's body. Then—ten clones of Li Chang'an appeared!
Each of the ten clones wielded an enlarged Pangu Axe. Simultaneously, his first, second, and fourth soul skills activated!
Dozens of terrifying attacks erupted, colliding directly with the Clear Sky Hammer—and with the Origin Fruit's power, Li Chang'an remained at peak condition throughout.
The sheer strength of the Origin Fruit was staggering. That's what gave Li Chang'an the confidence to unleash ten clones and simultaneously activate three soul skills. Even more, this time, his soul skills were imbued with the dual ultimate of ice and fire!
BOOOOOOM—!
Heaven and earth shook. Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer vanished. His towering figure remained suspended mid-air, but his body was riddled with tiny wounds. His life force was rapidly fading...
"I have never been defeated in my life… Tell me, how did you reach such a state? This power of universal origin—it's what I've chased all my life…"
"Because I'm a cheat."
Li Chang'an wasn't one to let his guard down. Even now, he didn't reveal all his secrets. But one thing was certain—one generation's Title Douluo, one of the greatest geniuses of the age, the Clear Sky Douluo, would fall here today.
The killer—Li Chang'an!
Tang Hao's body remained standing in mid-air. But as his life force drained away, his form slowly disintegrated into countless particles, drifting into the wind and vanishing into the heavens.
At that moment, Li Chang'an noticed four items slowly descending from where Tang Hao had vanished. Each one radiated a powerful aura—clearly not ordinary objects.
Casually catching them, Li Chang'an let out a quiet sigh.
Three soul bones. One seed.
Three distinct auras emanated from the items. Two were domineering and forceful, while the third was gentle and serene. The pressure they exuded was overwhelming—even Li Chang'an felt momentarily suffocated.
One was a miniaturized right arm bone, pitch black, its restrained glow hiding the explosive energy within.
Another was a miniaturized left leg bone, dark green in hue, its energy just as potent as the arm bone.
The last was an extraordinary piece—transparent blue-gold, shimmering with starlight. It radiated a sense of life itself. This right leg bone… almost seemed alive.
As for the seed, it, too, pulsed with a similar life aura...
Li Chang'an could already guess the origins of these items. The two domineering soul bones likely came from the Clear Sky Clan. The life-filled soul bone had to be the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone. And the seed—most likely, that was Ah Yin herself.
But Li Chang'an didn't plan to absorb any of these soul bones.
The two from the Clear Sky Clan weren't 100,000-year rank—not worthy of him.
As for Ah Yin's bone... he would hold onto it, for now. Maybe—just maybe—there might be a way to revive the Blue Silver Emperor in the future.
If he could bring her back to life... heh.
Now that would be interesting...
