Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [482] (Patreon)

“Destruction, just you wait!”

Within Tang Chen, the divine sense of the Asura God cursed angrily but had no choice but to make an additional decision.

Since he had already become a clown, why not take it further—create a bigger conflict so that everyone would pay attention to this matter?

And as an old hand, the Asura God also knew how to gain greater benefits with smaller sacrifices at critical moments.

Can’t win at chess? Then I’ll just flip the table!

The Asura God's divine sense, having given up on all pretense, stirred Tang Chen’s emotions, causing his eyes to redden unconsciously. The Asura Domain spread out from his body, shrouding the entire audience and the arena, locking onto Chen Ming. Like a streak of light, he leaped towards Chen Ming, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, preparing to smash Chen Ming to death on the spot.

But before he could leap onto the stage, a beam of light crashed straight into Tang Chen, slamming him to the ground and embedding him into the rock.

Qian Daoliu floated in midair, the three pairs of wings behind him unfurled, the Angelic Holy Sword in his hand shining brilliantly. The accumulated pure angelic power within Spirit Hall, amassed over who knows how long, surged and boiled with Qian Daoliu’s fury, empowering him and making him seem like the incarnation of the Angel God.

The Angel Domain expanded, forcibly suppressing the Asura Domain on Tang Chen. Holy fire blazed, burning with pure fury.

“Tang Chen, you’ve gone too far.”

Although both were Ultimate Douluo, at this moment, Qian Daoliu’s power—amplified by Spirit Hall—was a notch above Tang Chen's.

Tang Chen, knocked to the ground, leaped back up, spat, and, without wasting words, his soul rings lit up.

“Heaven-Piercing Strike!”

Learning from last time, when his painstakingly unleashed Supreme Sumeru Hammer was dodged by Qian Daoliu, he didn’t use the ring explosion skill as he usually did when facing Qian Daoliu but instead rarely used a soul skill to maneuver.

With the boost of his Ultimate Douluo cultivation and realm, the cooldown time of his soul rings had been compressed to the limit. To the disbelief of many, Tang Chen’s fifth soul ring flashed several times in an instant, and multiple Heaven-Piercing Strikes were launched at Qian Daoliu almost simultaneously.

“Angel Sword Technique: Banish All Evil!”

The Angelic Holy Sword in Qian Daoliu’s hand shone brilliantly. He unleashed the sword technique of the Angel lineage, directly shattering Tang Chen’s Heaven-Piercing Strikes and countering with a sword wave.

“Earth-Shaking Tremor!”

Tang Chen dared not face the divine weapon’s sharpness head-on. His eighth red soul ring lit up, and he unleashed the eighth soul skill he hadn’t used in decades.

Tang Chen’s eighth ring came from a top-tier strength-type soul beast, a Vajra Baboon with eighty thousand years of cultivation. After the divine trial’s boost, it broke through to a hundred thousand years. Although it only provided one skill, it possessed ultimate destructive power.

In Tang Chen’s control, the Clear Sky Hammer, as large as a water jar, suddenly shrank to just slightly larger than a normal iron hammer, condensing vast soul power to a point. The eighth soul skill met the sword wave head-on, smashing the pure soul-power sword wave to pieces. Then, with a twist of his arm, the remaining force of the eighth soul skill transformed into a dragon-shaped energy that shot toward Qian Daoliu.

This was originally a feature only seen in the final strike after the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer reached its peak, but Tang Chen managed to release his power like this after a single collision.

The dragon-shaped energy surged toward Qian Daoliu. With a roar, the angelic phantom behind Qian Daoliu blazed, and the Holy Sword expanded dozens of times, becoming an illusory radiance that slashed down.

As the dragon-shaped energy and the Holy Sword’s phantom collided in midair, a massive explosion instantly swept across the arena. Many soul masters who didn’t escape in time were blown away by the shockwave from the clash of Ultimate Douluo, crashing into corners and throwing the arena into chaos.

Yet many bloodthirsty spectators, who fancied themselves strong or wild enough, not only didn’t run but instead stood their ground wherever they thought was safe, savoring the overwhelming power.

“To witness such a battle in my lifetime—dying now would be worth it!”

One soul master, whose martial soul was a Deep Sea Giant Shark and who seemed to be the sect master of some hidden sea soul master sect, roared with excitement, feeling the pain in his body. The soul power that had been stuck for decades began to stir under the impact and excitement as if he were about to break through.

As for the higher-ups of various sects, they simply grouped together by faction, doing their utmost to maintain their states, soaking up the power displayed by both sides like sponges.

Ning Fengzhi summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to fully empower Sword and Bone Douluo. The three of them watched the fight closely, Ning Fengzhi even unceremoniously bringing out his invincible shield soul device, determined to keep watching even at the risk of being caught in the blast.

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan leaned together to shield their clansmen, ensuring all present could watch the fight.

The lower four sects, already connected, grouped with defense-type Title Douluo Huyan Zhen and the Black Tiger Sect master as shields, looking for opportunities to break through. Many rogue soul masters who had been stuck at a level for years also joined forces to watch, with many strangers and even rivals gathering together.

At this moment, the soul master world seemed united as never before.

As for the two teams on the stage? Who, aside from the parties involved, cared?

Dugu Bo shielded the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team, while Tang Xiao protected Tang San and seized Tang Hao, wrapping the Blue Tyrant Battle Team in soul power as well. Both sides eyed each other warily, their seventh soul rings representing their Martial Soul True Bodies ready to go—one wrong move and another fierce fight would erupt.

But with the surrounding collision, neither Dugu Bo nor Tang Chen dared remain in the center of the battle and retreated.

Bone Douluo opened a spatial portal for Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi’s amplification was thrown directly onto him, and Dugu Bo withdrew with his team. Tang Xiao, however, found himself surrounded by numerous Spirit Hall experts.

Of Spirit Hall’s seven elders, the Grand Worship, Qian Daoliu, was fighting Tang Chen, and the second, Golden Crocodile, was guarding the Blacksmith City. The remaining five encircled Tang Xiao, each exuding an aura no weaker than his. Surrounded, sweat poured down Tang Xiao’s head like rain.

The few who came from the Clear Sky Sect were instantly subdued by Spirit Hall’s people. At this moment, watching his grandfather go berserk overhead, Tang Xiao suddenly wondered if his father was his biological father—or if his father was even his grandfather’s biological son.
