Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 398 The Battle Intensifies, the Niu Brothers Arrive

"The Clear Sky Hammer? You're from the Clear Sky Sect?"

"Why aren't you holed up in the mountains? What? Now you want to meddle in mainland affairs?"

The majestic dragon body of Emperor Tian brought with it a sky full of black clouds. The darkness spread rapidly, swallowing the azure sky. In just one minute, the entire Tiandou Plain bid farewell to the blue sky.

Thick black clouds relentlessly devoured every ray of light, with only the energy bursts from the white dragon and the golden giant of Shrek City briefly breaking through the clouds.

The conflict broke out suddenly and violently, and all the cities under the control of the passion were quickly carrying out the evacuation of their residents, taking them all to the shelters in their respective cities.

The Tiandou Plain is known to the outside world as a mountaintop land flowing with milk and honey, and its wealth far surpasses that of any empire on the Douluo Continent.

This is why the Heavenly Soul Empire covets this land so much, wishing they could extinguish their enthusiasm and then take its place.

At Huo Yuhao's request, all cities have built underground defense facilities of an advanced standard, sufficient to withstand all kinds of natural disasters and man-made calamities, and to ensure the safety of everyone's lives.

At this moment, all the residents of Tiandou Plain are praying in the underground shelter. They can see the darkness outside through the magic network, as well as the white dragon and giant that are faintly visible in the distance.

They didn't know what had happened, they just hoped to live well. In a fantasy world, being able to live with dignity and peace is indeed a commendable thing.

Outside Shrek City, a middle-aged man in black robes removed his hood, revealing a face covered in stubble and weathered by time. His dark eyes met Di Tian's without fear as he spoke:

"Haotian Sect..."

"That's right, I am Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, or you can call me Clear Sky Douluo. Today, no one will be allowed to disturb the battle inside!"

A surge of powerful soul energy erupted, causing the dark clouds in the sky to ripple under the opponent's might. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand rapidly grew larger until it resembled a small mountain.

The massive Haotian Hammer was surrounded by black and red soul power. The immense force from the ancient wilderness caused the space to collapse inch by inch, leaving behind a void.

The air in the world seemed to come alive, rushing away from the Haotian Hammer and creating a hurricane on the earth.

"Tang Hao?"

"I remember now, you are the father of Tang San, the Sea God."

"Let me guess again, is that Tang San's mother inside? The Blue Silver Emperor that the Demon King has been longing for?"

Within the churning, boundless black clouds, two golden lights shone brightly, and the vast dragon's might pressed down on the earth. Di Tian finally recognized the identity of the person who had come before him, which made the killing intent in Di Tian's golden eyes even more intense.

Public opinion is indeed a terrifying force; it can subtly alter a person's thinking, making them believe that the will bestowed upon them by public opinion is their own thought.

The cultivation system in Douluo Continent doesn't actually cultivate one's character, but only one's destiny. This results in the strong and the weak not experiencing a true qualitative change in their will.

This is also a common feature of many fantasy worlds, such as the neighboring Dou Qi Continent.

One major reason for the emergence of the fantasy world of organized crime is that their system places more emphasis on life than on sex.

Of course, emphasizing "sex" can also lead to a mafia-like worldview, or even something more extreme. Their unwavering will makes them extremely prone to becoming madmen.

Di Tian already disliked Tang San intensely because of the battle in Xingluo City. Now, with the subtle influence of the Magic Network's atmosphere, Tang San's faction has been labeled as the enemy in his subconscious.

He wouldn't pass up the opportunity to kill a powerful member of Tang San's faction.

Di Tian's enormous dragon body suddenly shrank, and he stood in the sky in human form, with thick black clouds and howling winds cheering him on.

He reached for his waist, and the black dragon belt transformed into the black dragon sword. The dark purple blade gleamed with a cold light, and purplish-black soul power swirled around the sword.

When dealing with humans of the same level, it's best to use a human body. A large body is useful in matches where you're easy to beat, but it becomes a burden in battles against opponents of the same level.

"The King of Ten Thousand Demons? What kind of beast is this? How dare you covet Ah Yin? After I kill you, I'll go and take that beast's soul ring and soul bone."

Tang Hao swung the Haotian Hammer, which was as big as a small mountain. The dark red hammerhead, carrying a spiral of airflow, smashed down on Di Tian. The gale was forcibly reversed at this moment, and human power overwhelmed the power of nature.

Di Tian remained unmoved, his golden eyes narrowed, and the Black Dragon Sword in his hand unleashed a terrifying sword intent, as if the heavens and earth had been cracked open by this sword intent.

Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, even pigs can climb trees now. Di Tian has long since reached the level of mastery of all martial arts. He can defeat no technique with any move. As long as the weapon is not too strange, he can wield it well.

However, he preferred using a sword to other weapons because, in his memory, the gift his mother gave him when he hatched was a sword.

The purplish-black sword intent transformed into a giant sword in the air, tearing through layers of space to meet the Haotian Hammer.

The immense force and the sword intent collided at this moment, and the huge roar drowned out all other sounds in the world, followed by a continuous rumble.

The entire Tiandou Plain began to tremble violently. At the center of the collision between the two forces, a black spatial rift opened, and invisible gales surged forth, their power enough to annihilate any Soul Douluo who strayed into it.

After a brief clash, Di Tian and Tang Hao each took a step back. Tang Hao used the remaining force to swing the Haotian Hammer in a circle in the air, the hammer rippled with black light. This was a combination of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Haotian Nine Absolutes Zhenzi Absolute.

Using the opponent's strength against them, they grow stronger with each battle. The Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect cannot be considered a super martial soul; its strength is only in the middle tier among top-tier weapon martial souls.

However, Tang Chen was indeed exceptionally talented, and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian perfectly compensated for all the shortcomings of the Haotian Hammer.

With the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Ring Explosion technique, a plain Clear Sky Hammer only needs to be enhanced with amplification soul skills to the extreme, and the Clear Sky Hammer is not lacking in attack methods at all.

The Clear Sky Hammer, mastered with the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky and the Great Sumeru Hammer, is absolutely no less powerful than any super martial soul. Moreover, the Clear Sky Hammer can benefit from all version updates.

The forging system in future versions goes without saying, which stands in stark contrast to a certain sect that focuses on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Di Tian watched Tang Hao's movements with great interest and couldn't help but praise, "Excellent combat skills! Is this the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian?"

"Humans are indeed far superior to spirit beasts in terms of innovation. Even though your martial spirit is of average quality, your combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level."

Tang Hao snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. His black and red domain opened directly, and a surging blood aura and a savage battle intent intertwined.

The Haotian Hammer gleamed with black and red demonic runes, like a demonic weapon from the abyss.

Di Tian gripped the Black Dragon Sword, and with a swipe of his hand across the blade, silvery-white spatial power spiraled around it. Dark and spatial elements collided, causing his black robes to flutter, and a black halo appeared behind him, frantically devouring everything in the world.

If someone were to use a mental detection ability to observe Di Tian at this moment, they would find that Di Tian's entire body is filled with soul power like a black hole.

This is the foundation of the Beast God Emperor Tian. His entire soul power is almost in the form of compressed spiral singularities, and each singularity contains astonishing spatial power.

Di Tian, ​​the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, was no less accomplished in spatial rules than in dark rules.

With the support of his domain, Tang Hao wielded the Haotian Hammer with strange footwork, as if dancing in the air. He used the Haotian Nine Absolutes—Void, Seal, Pierce, Transcend, Entangle, Shock, Break, Brake, Collapse—with great fluidity and without any hesitation.

With his nine methods of exerting force almost integrated into one, combined with his domain, his power had reached the limit of the Douluo Continent.

Where the Haotian Hammer swept across, space shattered like a broken mirror, becoming a gleaming silver-white in the darkness.

Di Tian didn't use many fancy techniques. The Dragon Clan focused on high stats, and Di Tian used the Black Dragon Sword as a blade, slashing horizontally with the giant sword. The two supreme experts clashed once again.

The earth below was annihilated by energy, soil and rocks turned into nothingness, and half of Shrek City almost disappeared from the world.

Di Tian sensed a large number of life forms underground in Shrek City and used the power of darkness to draw the aftershocks to the surface to prevent them from affecting innocent people.

Tang Hao attempted to use the opponent's strength against them again, but how could Di Tian allow it? The black halo behind him became even more profound, and the terrifying suction force rendered Tang Hao unable to move.

The Haotian Hammer is all about power and weight. Di Tian has a lot of experience dealing with this type of enemy; he even gained experience from beating Xiong Jun back then.

Using the devouring power of dark elements, Tang Hao was mired in a quagmire, and the immense strength that the Clear Sky Hammer was so proud of now became a burden that restricted Tang Hao's movements.

Taking advantage of Tang Hao's stunned state, Di Tian suddenly exerted force with his legs, his knee slamming upwards, causing the Haotian Hammer to shift upwards. The Black Dragon Sword, now free, struck Tang Hao's neck without any obstruction.

Di Tian didn't want to drag this out. In a life-or-death battle, there was no need for any reciprocity; quickly finishing off his opponent was the only way to win.

Tang Hao's pupils contracted, his soul power suddenly paused, and an extremely high-level power emerged from his body, erupting with black and red divine power.

Di Tian was startled. The black halo behind him changed its shape and turned into a silver halo, which sucked Di Tian into it.

His figure appeared several kilometers away, sensing the fleeting aura of divine power, and said coldly, "Divine power?! Are you a deity from the divine realm?"

"A god dares to use divine power in the mortal realm? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the divine realm?!"

Tang Hao knew, of course, that he couldn't use divine power in the lower realm. If it were when Xiao San was in charge of the central authority of the God Realm, it wouldn't have been a problem to use it, but now the Goddess of Life was in charge.

Moreover, the factional struggles in the divine realm are fierce right now, and the God of Destruction has been looking for weaknesses in Xiao San's defenses. Just now, he accidentally fell into Di Tian's trap and felt his life was threatened, so he had no choice but to use his divine power to escape.

You absolutely cannot use divine power again!
"It's only for a moment; the divine realm can't detect it."

"I can kill you without divine power later."

"Niu Tian! Titan! What are you waiting for?!"

Tang Hao raised the Clear Sky Hammer high and roared at the empty sky and earth.

"Moo!!!"

A deep, muffled sound came from afar, and a coiled, azure dragon, bathed in blue lightning, tore through the dark clouds and rushed toward them.

The newcomer had bull horns and a dragon's head, with arcs of electricity flashing between its blue-green scales. Beneath its serpentine body grew a pair of enormous dragon claws. As its body twisted, lightning ripped through the dark clouds, bringing a fleeting glimmer of light to the shattered earth.

To the east of Shrek City, a giant ape, as large as a small mountain, was also rushing towards them, its every stomp causing the earth to groan.

Niu Tian and Titan from Haotian Fortress have come to support Tang Hao. The distant Xilu City Detection Center detected a terrifying aura of level 99 and level 98.

This made the highest-ranking official at the Xilu City headquarters extremely uneasy; his hand was already on the missile silo launch button.

As long as the boss gives the order, he will bomb that area without hesitation.

We absolutely cannot let these monsters get close to Xiru City.

Niu Tian and Titan had arrived beside Tang Hao, and the three supreme experts released their pressure together to confront Di Tian.
