Chapter 214 The Fate of the God-King
On the battlefield, the battle between Tang Hao and Yu Tianyun intensified. Tang Hao continuously shattered spirit rings, his aura surging like waves, each stronger than the last.
Yu Tianyun was no longer so at ease and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, but he showed no fear. He could just use an amplifying soul skill; if one wasn't enough, he'd use two.
Yu Tianyun estimated that if he used another amplification soul skill, Tang Hao would probably be unable to hold on. However, he was not in a hurry to use an amplification soul skill, since he was only slightly at a disadvantage at the moment.
He wanted to wait until Tang Hao shattered his last spirit ring and accumulated enough power for eighty-one hammer blows before ending the battle. He wanted to see just how much power Tang Hao could unleash.
Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin stood at the edge of the battlefield, their feelings complicated. On one hand, they were shocked by the intensity of the battle, and on the other hand, they were pondering how to deal with the situation before them.
Yu Yuanzhen gazed at Yu Tianyun, who was clad in armor, his doubts deepening. He felt a sense of déjà vu about this person, yet couldn't quite place who he was. He was certain, however, that among all the people he knew, there was no one so powerful. Therefore, he desperately wanted to know who this person was.
Chen Xin gripped the Seven Kill Sword tightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation. These two posed a significant threat to him. Their attacks far surpassed his own. He even felt that even if Yu Yuanzhen unleashed his full power, he might not be much stronger than them. If their battle spiraled out of control, it could bring devastating disaster to the nearby Heavenly Dou City.
Just then, Tang Hao roared again. He held nothing back, and his last three spirit rings shattered simultaneously. The light on the Clear Sky Hammer became incredibly terrifying, turning the entire sky blood red, as if it were about to destroy the whole world.
Finally, after enduring the 80th blow, Tang Hao pushed the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to its limit!
The next strike will determine the victor and decide life or death.
"You little thief, prepare to die!"
Tang Hao leaped high into the air, hoisting the blood-red Haotian Hammer, as large as a mountain, and smashed it down towards Yu Tianyun's seemingly insignificant body.
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Body!"
Yu Tianyun calmly watched the giant hammer hurtle towards him, his body instantly crackling with lightning, shimmering with endless thunder, like a thunder god descending. He turned and, at the last moment before the hammerhead was about to strike him, wielded the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear to meet it head-on.
"Boom!" The next second, the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear collided with the Clear Sky Hammer, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, swallowed everything around it, including the not-so-small green mountain, which completely collapsed and disappeared into the mudslide.
Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin, their ears throbbing slightly, stared in astonishment at the spot where the spear and the giant hammer had collided. A black crack, several meters in size, suddenly appeared in the sky.
The two exchanged a glance and remained silent.
Such a powerful attack was something neither of them could actually achieve. This doesn't mean that Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin were weaker than Tang Hao and Yu Tianyun at this level, but rather that the strongest power they could unleash was less than that of Tang Hao and Yu Tianyun.
It should be noted that Tang Hao's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, which charged up eighty-one hammer blows, combined with the explosion of all his spirit rings, unleashed a power that even Qian Daoliu would not dare to easily withstand head-on.
Of course, Qian Daoliu wouldn't sit idly by and watch Tang Hao charge up the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to eighty-one strikes.
If Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin were to face Tang Hao in this state, they would definitely choose to avoid a direct confrontation. After all, he only has the strength for one strike; why be so reckless as to clash head-on?
On the other side, after unleashing his strongest hammer strike to clash head-on with Yu Tianyun, Tang Hao's entire right arm was twisted. He lay in the crater, coughing up blood incessantly, barely breathing.
He now realizes how ridiculous his ideas were.
Although this outcome was within his expectations, since he had already shattered all his spirit rings, his internal injuries were bound to erupt, and his death was an inevitable result.
But to his utter surprise, his hammer blow did not achieve the result he desired.
After the Haotian Hammer and the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear collided, he clearly saw that Yu Tianyun was just like in the previous collisions, only retreating a distance of more than 100 meters, without any injuries.
Tang Hao stared blankly at the sky, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart. All his passion vanished, and the cold indifference in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
He was truly unwilling to accept it. Why couldn't his strongest attack, which he risked his life for, kill his opponent?
"Is Heaven going to destroy me? What did I, Tang Hao, do wrong? Why is Heaven so unjust!" Tang Hao cried out in his heart.
"Is that all you're capable of?"
"boom!"
Yu Tianyun's body crashed into the crater where Tang Hao was lying. He stretched out his right hand, met no resistance, grabbed Tang Hao's neck, and raised it high.
A mocking voice came from within the ornate golden helmet: "You truly disappoint me. No wonder you can't even protect your wife. Or perhaps you deliberately exposed your wife to the Spirit Hall so she could sacrifice herself for you, didn't you?"
"Shut up, you bastard!"
Perhaps his guess was right, for Yu Tianyun keenly noticed a flicker of panic in Tang Hao's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Hao became extremely angry, and an incredibly strong killing intent suddenly erupted from his body.
The Killing God Domain was unprecedentedly powerful, and the chilling white light enveloped Yu Tianyun, even suppressing some of his aura.
Yu Tianyun was slightly taken aback, then a blue-gold halo emanated from his body, driving away the white light of the God of Slaughter Domain.
"Looks like I guessed right, Tang Hao. You really are cunning. You even schemed against your own wife."
"Shut up, shut up!" Tang Hao roared like a madman, the blood-red demonic runes on his Clear Sky Hammer shining brightly. Even under Yu Tianyun's provocation, he failed to recognize the Blue Silver Domain released by Yu Tianyun.
The next second, a middle-aged man in blood-red armor from the divine realm suddenly stopped moving and vanished from the spot in a flash.
"???" Not far away, a man in black stood there, his head full of question marks.
When he reappeared, the man in blood-red armor was already standing in front of a blood pool in the very center of a blood-red hall.
With a wave of his hand, the scene from Tang Hao's perspective appeared, accompanied by sound, making it feel as if one were actually there.
"When did such a talented human appear on the Douluo Continent? He's even more talented than the chosen one of destiny I selected!" The Asura God frowned, and with another wave of his hand, Tang Hao's memories appeared one by one in his mind.
"That Tang Hao really knows how to cause trouble, always getting me into trouble." The images of Yu Tianyun flashed through the Asura God's mind, followed by a look of confusion. "This aura? Why is it so mixed?"
"Mountain Dragon King? Ice Dragon King? Fire Dragon King? Could they be remnants of the dragon race?"
"Wait, there's still that bastard Thor's aura! And..."
"Shura, didn't you already have your eye on a chosen one?" The evil god standing next to the god of asura raised an eyebrow. "So that's why you suddenly disappeared halfway there. Turns out you've discovered another gifted little fellow."
"Hmph~" The Asura God snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Take a good look at the aura emanating from this person!"
"Hmm?" The God of Evil was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at the blood pool to carefully sense it.
After a moment, the God of Evil first frowned, then his face lit up with surprise. "This little guy is truly blessed. His dragon aura is so strong that he is not a dragon but is more like one. Moreover, he possesses the soul bones of three Dragon Kings. If I hadn't already known that you had chosen him as the chosen one, I would definitely have made him the chosen one."
"Shura, you're such a kind person! This little guy is destined to be with me; he even has my and Thor's marks on him." The God of Evil looked at the God of Shura, his words tinged with surprise.
The Asura God glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "So, this person isn't the one you chose?"
"Huh? Shura, what are you trying to do? You already have someone you've chosen, you can't take them from me!" The evil god's eyes flashed with hostility as he stared intently at the Shura god.
"It's not that I want to take it from you, it's that this person wants to kill the protector of my successor!" The Asura God's tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
"..." The God of Evil turned his gaze back to the scene in the pool of blood and fell silent.
"Impotent rage!" Yu Tianyun smiled contemptuously. At this moment, he had lost the will to continue toying with Tang Hao and was ready to completely eliminate him.
"Ah!" Just as Yu Tianyun finished speaking, Tang Hao immediately felt a sharp pain in his left ankle, as if it were being clamped by a dragon and python. Then, a terrifying pulling force, like being torn apart by a cart, came from the root of his left leg.
A chill ran down Tang Hao's spine. Although he knew he was doomed, he still couldn't help but feel fear when death actually came, especially when he was being dismembered alive.
Immediately, he gripped the Haotian Hammer with difficulty in his twisted right hand, intending to smash it down on Yu Tianyun's head. However, before he could even swing the Haotian Hammer, he lost his balance due to the immense inertia.
"Bang!"
Yu Tianyun shook the flesh and blood of the left leg in his hand into a blood mist, and then put the soul bone that was emitting a shimmering light into his soul tool.
Then, he flashed behind Tang Hao, grabbed his right leg with one hand, and slammed it against the ground several times, creating two dents in the ground on either side, before suddenly throwing it back.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Tang Hao spun around and flew out in an instant, skipping across the ravaged land several times before finally landing upside down on a broken tree trunk, where he lay motionless.
"Uh... this little guy really goes all out! Looks like your successor's protector is doomed." The God of Evil looked at the God of Asura, clicked his tongue, and felt a slight pang of pain in his groin.
"I need your help to save Tang Hao!" The Asura God said calmly without turning around.
"This isn't in accordance with the rules..." The God of Evil looked troubled.
The Asura God turned to look at him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "How many times have you done things that violate the rules?"
"Huh? Shura, you need to provide evidence before you speak. This is slander." The evil god's expression immediately hardened.
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. You and I both know what's going on. You help me influence that kid for a moment, otherwise..." A sinister smile appeared on the face of the Asura God, "I might as well change my successor."
In truth, the God of Asura was somewhat shaken. Although Yu Tianyun was not the chosen one, his talent was indeed outstanding, even better than those of the God Kings when they were young, and far superior to Tang San.
Moreover, Tang San had been completely crippled. During the several collisions just now, large and small pieces of stone flew everywhere. By sheer coincidence, one of them hit Tang San squarely in the crotch, instantly turning his flesh into a bloody mess.
Even the God of Asura began to doubt whether Tang San was truly the chosen one. If so, how could he be so unlucky? However, he still didn't want to give up on Tang San so easily and decided to observe him further.
If Yu Tianyun knew what he was thinking, he would definitely answer yes.
Of all those pebbles, only one hit Tang San, and it landed on the part of his body least likely to affect his health or his ability to fight.
Although it's a bit unethical, it's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. If it had hit other parts of the body, it might not have been life-threatening, but it would have shattered the bones and definitely affected future combat capabilities.
In short, Tang San truly deserves to be called the chosen one!
The god of evil, in a panic, quickly said, "Alright, alright, I promise you, but only this once!"
"Alright, then we'll join forces." The God of Asura nodded slightly.
On the other side, Yu Tianyun looked at the unconscious Tang Hao, slowly walked to his side, and muttered to himself, "Why did you have to ambush me for no reason? I wasn't planning on causing you any trouble, but since you've offended me, you'll have to pay for it with your soul bones!"
Having said that, he held the gun in his right hand and with a swift motion, Tang Hao's right arm was severed. Before it even hit the ground, Yu Tianyun used the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique with his left hand to grab the right arm containing the soul bone. He then shattered the flesh and blood and stored the soul bone into his soul tool.
"Next, which soul bone should we take?" Yu Tianyun rested his chin on his left hand and poked at Tang Hao's body with his spear in his right hand, as if he had a problem making a decision.
Just then, Yu Tianyun suddenly froze, and his eyes under the helmet seemed to lose their luster. His consciousness seemed to have entered a dark space.
"What's going on?" Yu Tianyun looked around and saw nothing but grayness.
"Tsk tsk tsk, little guy, you're lucky. I've taken a liking to you and want to pass on my mantle to you..." A sinister voice drifted from all directions.
"???" Yu Tianyun was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on. He thought to himself, "So it's that old pervert, the God of Evil! He wants me to inherit his godhood? Dream on! I'd rather inherit the godhood of the Sea God or the Asura God than this damn pervert's godhood."
"I know the whole story of how Ji Dong and Lie Yan were disgusted by those two old bastards, Evil and Good. Trying to trick me? No way!"
"And the fact that they came knocking at this time of year suggests that they are also connected to the God of Asura."
"As expected, dealing with Tang San and Tang Hao will inevitably attract the attention of the God of Asura."
Thinking of this, Yu Tianyun sighed inwardly, "Oh well, so be it. This time I've gained two ten-thousand-year soul bones, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, so it's worth it. Besides, as long as I'm on the Douluo Continent, I'll have the power to protect myself..."
At that moment, Tang Hao, outside the window, suddenly felt a flash of red light in his eyes and instantly regained consciousness. (End of Chapter)
