Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 179 Defeating Tang San

Seeing the enormous fire phoenix rushing towards him, Tang San gritted his teeth and revealed the Clear Sky Hammer in his right hand.

"The Great Sumeru Hammer, a strike that soars to the heavens."

All nine rings on the Clear Sky Hammer exploded simultaneously, and the power of all the spirit rings merged into Tang San's body. The Clear Sky Hammer instantly grew countless times larger, like a small mountain, and directly met the oncoming fire phoenix.

Wang Xiaofei initially intended to dodge using his speed, but then he thought, the Clear Sky Hammer's exploding rings are known as the number one divine skill in Douluo Continent, especially with Tang San's nine 10-year soul rings exploding at the same time. In terms of sheer power, it would probably be incredibly formidable. He wondered how it would compare to his Qilin Arm. Moreover, a head-on collision would allow him to see Tang San's actual strength.

Suddenly, the fire phoenix's enormous right claw changed; the entire claw turned golden, as if it had been cast from gold.

The Fire Phoenix's enormous right claw collided with Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, which was as big as a small mountain. Instantly, the entire space seemed to collapse and the earth crack.

Fire Phoenix was repelled, marking the first time Wang Xiaofei had been defeated so far. However, Tang San on the other side seemed to be in a worse state. The Clear Sky Hammer's ring-exploding technique was a one-time use soul skill, and the body would be weakened afterward. Even though Tang San had become a god, the explosion of nine 10-year soul rings was no small matter, and even a god would suffer considerable injuries.

However, Fire Phoenix was clearly not injured. Although she was repelled by the immense power of the Clear Sky Hammer, she attacked Tang San again in the blink of an eye.

This time, Tang San stood in the same spot with his eyes closed, once again holding the Trident of the Sea God in his hand. At the same time, the ten spirit rings that originally belonged to the Blue Silver Emperor lit up, including the last one, which was a blue-gold spirit ring.

Immediately afterwards, all ten spirit rings exploded, including the tenth blue-gold divine ring. Tang San's original figure instantly became gigantic, transforming into a huge phantom of the sea god, with his right hand holding the solidified and even larger trident of the sea god.

From a distance, the phantom of the sea god was already hundreds of meters tall, and the trident of the sea god was also hundreds of meters high, like a mountain, giving people a terrifying pressure.

"The Golden Thirteen Halberds, thirteen styles combined into one: Twilight of the Sea God."

Instantly, the Trident of Poseidon, as if carrying a world-destroying power, flew towards the gigantic fire phoenix.

Faced with Tang San's powerful attack, Wang Xiaofei gritted his teeth, and the Fire Phoenix let out a long cry, instantly engulfing the entire area of ​​tens of kilometers in flames.

It is the Phoenix Realm, which has already entered the divine level.

Immediately afterwards, a huge light flashed from the fire phoenix's body. It was the fire phoenix's Phoenix Light, and it was the Phoenix Light that had already reached the divine level.

The Phoenix Light and the Trident of Poseidon collided in mid-air, causing the entire space to collapse, and the enormous Trident of Poseidon seemed to be melting.

But in the end, the Trident of Poseidon still struck the Fire Phoenix. This was the first time Wang Xiaofei had been injured since becoming a god. However, the Fire Phoenix cried out to the sky, and its wounds healed rapidly in the flames, returning to normal in no time.

At this moment, Tang San's aura was rather weak, and his eyes seemed to reveal a sense of surprise and terror. He did not expect that Wang Xiaofei could so easily neutralize his strongest attack, which could even be described as a fatal blow.

But before Tang San could continue thinking, the Fire Phoenix flew towards him again. This time, a huge hand grabbed at Tang San directly, and it seemed to have a suction power. This was the characteristic that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year soul ring gave to the Qilin Arm Martial Soul—devouring.

Tang San wielded the Sea God Sword to attack the giant hand repeatedly, but to no avail. The five fingers on the golden hand were as solid as pillars supporting the sky, unharmed, and the power seemed terrifying, causing the entire space to tremble.

Tang San seemed to understand the power of this grab; if he were caught, he would likely face certain death. At best, he would be severely injured; at worst, he would die.

Suddenly, a red sword light appeared in the sky. The sword light struck the golden palm, leaving a huge wound. Moreover, the wound seemed to faintly carry a red aura, which possessed considerable corrosive power.

Tang San took this opportunity to leave quickly.

Wang Xiaofei ignored Tang San's departure. The fire phoenix gradually shrank back to its original size and quietly stared at the distant sky.

Seeing no change in the sky, he took out a huge Soul-Shattering Spear from his body and planted it directly into the ground.

A sigh echoed in the sky, followed by the appearance of a massive red phantom – the Asura God.

"Greetings, Lord Asura God."

"Wang Xiaofei, you and Tang San are both exceptionally talented, and I don't want either of you to get hurt. That would be a loss to the God Realm."

Wang Xiaofei ignored what the Asura God said and instead gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear.

"Wang Xiaofei, if you were in danger today, I would have done the same."

"Lord Asura God, if Tang San were to kill Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue of the Spirit Empire today, would you intervene to stop him?" Asura God still has some use to him for the time being, and he would not be willing to kill him now.

After hearing this, the Asura God fell silent.

"Lord Asura God, since I became a god, I have discovered that Tang San's soul seems to be different from ordinary people. The age of his soul and the age of his body seem to be somewhat inconsistent. Moreover, I grew up with Tang San since childhood and know that Tang San's behavior was different from ordinary people even in his childhood. He seems to know many things beyond our world."

The God of Asura hesitated for a moment: "That's right, I brought Tang San's soul into this world. You haven't experienced hundreds of thousands of years of loneliness, so you don't understand what I'm going through now and what I'm suffering."

"Lord Asura God, I truly cannot understand your pain. However, Bibi Tong and Qian Renxue also endured countless hardships to become gods. Tang San is now their mortal enemy, and it's a fight to the death; one of them will inevitably perish. Isn't this a bit unfair to them and to me?"

"So what do you want?"

"Lord Asura God, I don't want anything. I only want fairness from you. Fairness for me, for Tang San, for Qian Renxue, for Bibi Dong, and for everyone on the entire Douluo Continent."

The God of Asura sneered, "Fairness? What fairness is there in this world? Let alone your Douluo Continent, the entire God Realm is a world where the strong prey on the weak."

"Since it's a world where the strong prey on the weak, why do you, Lord Asura God, still want to leave?"

"That's my business, it's none of your concern."

"Lord Asura God, do you really think highly of Tang San?"

"No, Wang Xiaofei, I actually think more highly of you. With your strength and talent, you will reach the pinnacle of the God Realm sooner or later."

Wang Xiaofei couldn't help but think to himself: You old bastard, what are you looking after me for? You probably want to trick me into going to the God Realm to deal with me.

"In that case, Lord Asura God, I will help you forge the divine artifact as soon as possible and train a successor for you. Please also stop interfering in the affairs of Douluo Star. After all, if the God Realm interferes too much in the affairs of Douluo Star, it will easily damage the origin of Douluo Star. I owe Douluo Star a lot of origin power."

The God of Asura pondered for a moment: "Alright, I agree. I brought Tang San to this world, and now I'm helping him resolve this crisis; that's how I repay him."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaofei bowed to the God of Asura and said, "Thank you for your understanding, God of Asura."

After saying this, the Asura God disappeared into the sky, while Wang Xiaofei left the place alone, preparing to return to the Elemental Academy.
