Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 52 The Death of Xiong Jun

The massive, dark hammer swung through the sky, gradually creating a powerful surge of air that shattered the wind and snow.

Tang San looked at Xiong Jun standing in the distance and sneered inwardly. A beast is a beast. He can only stare blankly at him as he charges up his power.

His hands were starting to go numb, but Tang San didn't dare to relax at all. His armor kept flashing and breathing out cold air, refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish the energy in his body.

Without Xiong Jun's energy supply, the earth dragon eventually became pitted and uneven, and Tang San's constantly charging Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, combined with the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer, was not easy to withstand.

Soon, Tang San had already charged up to eighty-one strikes, and it was almost impossible for him to control that enormous power.

On the eightieth strike, Tang San finally broke the earth dragon in two, but he was trembling all over and felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.

Xiong Jun's eyes were bright, and a small yellow seal suddenly appeared in his hand. It was the Fan Tian Seal that Lu Wu had refined and bestowed upon Xiong Jun. Although Xiong Jun wanted to try out the power of the Sea God, he would not think of using his physical body to take it head-on. That would not be a stupid bear, but a dead bear. It is not good to waste a trump card.

"The sky is falling!"

Xiong Jun flew into the sky, holding the Fantian Seal, and poured almost all his power into it. In the blink of an eye, the earth-yellow seal, which was less than the size of a palm, instantly became so large that it covered the sky and the sun. It seemed that the entire far north was under the seal's cover, and it emitted a fluorescent glow.

Tang San stared intently at the suddenly darkening sky, cursing inwardly, "Who is the real god here?"

"The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, eighty-one strikes, returning to one!"

Tang San roared, his mind flashing back to the time he used to practice his hammer under the waterfall—his lost youth.

With a flash of dark light, the Haotian Hammer, carrying unparalleled power, smashed fiercely towards the slowly descending "sky," its aura forming a black dragon that crashed straight into the "sky."

"Come, let me see the true power of you, sea god."

A sinister smile appeared on Xiong Jun's face. Magic weapons are also part of one's own power. Who told you, Tang San, to lose them? Besides, you're wearing a divine artifact.

A tremendous roar resounded throughout the far north, causing blood to flow from the ears of countless soul beasts as they stared in terror at the ever-pressing "sky".

Tang San's arm began to crack, but it was restored to its original state by divine power. Then it cracked again, and the divine armor on his body began to wail. This was not his divine artifact, and moreover, it no longer belonged to him after his avatar died. Naturally, he tried his best to squeeze the divine artifact out of him, and even the ice-blue radiance on the armor began to dim.

"Damn it, I am the God of the Sea, how could I be inferior to a beast!"

Tang San's face was contorted with rage; he couldn't believe it.

Although the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique's "Nine Returns to One" charging power is very strong, it is still like a mayfly trying to shake a tree in front of this thing that almost blots out the sky.

A series of booming sounds rang out as the Heaven-Turning Seal crushed many glaciers in the far north that had remained frozen for millennia.

Xue Di gritted her teeth, her face looking rather grim. This guy was completely out of control and didn't care about the situation in the far north. However, Xue Di was somewhat desperate about the power that Xiong Jun had shown, so she had no choice but to persuade Bing Di and the other two to work together to appease the soul beasts in the far north.

The Haotian Hammer began to crack under the immense force, ultimately unable to withstand the pressure that felt like a towering divine mountain pressing down.

Xiong Jun eventually woke up, shrunk the Fantian Seal to about one kilometer in size, and continued to smash it fiercely towards Tang San.

A heavy, muffled sound rang out, seemingly shaking the entire far north. The impact left a crater thousands of meters wide, with cracked permafrost everywhere.

Xiong Jun took a slight breath. Although he had the Fantian Seal in hand, he had to admit that Tang San's attack after charging up was quite powerful, and he even felt some resistance when he pressed it down.

After retracting the Heaven-Turning Seal, Xiong Jun looked at the deep pit. Tang San was covered in wounds, as if his entire body had been crushed. Only low groans could be heard from time to time. His ice-blue armor was dull and cracked, and it looked like it was about to be destroyed. However, perhaps because of its protection, Tang San was not dead yet.

Walking towards Tang San, Xiong Jun satisfiedly fiddled with the Fan Tian Seal in his hand. This thing had been nurtured in his demon core and had almost never been used in battle. Although it consumed a great deal of energy, its power was still extremely strong.

If it weren't for the soul beasts in the far north, Xiong Jun felt he could even sink the entire far north.

"Guanyin's Tears".

A faint sound arose, and Xiong Jun felt as if he had heard Tang San say something at the end, but why did his chest suddenly start to hurt?

Xiong Jun instinctively clutched his chest and looked down. There were some bloodstains on his paw. He looked up at Tang San, whose body had begun to dissipate and whose face showed a smile like that of a demon. But why did he see smugness on Tang San's face?

Xiong Jun clutched his chest and staggered two steps to the spot where Tang San had died. Only a tattered suit of armor remained. A faint, mocking laugh seemed to echo in the air, but upon closer listening, all that could be heard was the howling of wind and snow.

The pain in my heart is getting worse, and the demon core is starting to shatter. I had specifically placed the demon core in front of my heart to enhance safety, but it seems it hasn't been enough now.

What other stories did Di Tian tell?

Oh, humans are the most cunning, especially the former sea god, who invented hidden weapons suitable for ambushing his own kind, dying silently and stealthily.

Was I also hit by some kind of hidden weapon?

Xiong Jun couldn't understand it. He closed his eyes, and the blizzard buried him.

"Old Yi, when can we get out?"

Wang Dong rubbed his rumbling stomach, took the bread handed to him by Huo Yuhao, and swallowed it in large gulps.

It wasn't because they were hungry; Huo Yuhao's storage soul tool had enough supplies for them to live on for two months. The main reason was that this demiplane was really strange. Although they knew that under Electrolux's control they wouldn't be harmed, they still felt uneasy and wanted to return to Douluo Continent as soon as possible.

"That's about enough."

Electrolux stroked his beard. Although he couldn't see the outside world directly from within the demiplane, he could still sense the environmental fluctuations by relying on the connection between the demiplane and Douluo Continent.

Currently, the situation outside seems stable. Although we don't know the exact situation, we still need to go out no matter what.

"Yuhao, can I borrow your body for a moment?"

"Yes, teacher."

Huo Yuhao agreed, and Electrolux's phantom disappeared, Huo Yuhao's eyes turning gray and lifeless once again.

After this period of communication, Huo Yuhao finally understood the situation of the old man on his body.

Huo Yuhao was initially somewhat resistant to Electrolux's offer to take him as a disciple, since he already had a master, and it wouldn't be good to tell others. However, when he thought of his deceased mother, and Electrolux's forte in this area, Huo Yuhao immediately became willing.

Electrolux was quite open-minded; he simply wanted to find a successor. Besides, he was originally trying to steal someone else's apprentice. The story ended with Huo Yuhao asking Electrolux to teach him necromancy.

A large black door quietly opened, and a deep purple vortex slowly swirled within it. The two people stepped inside.
