Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

The Seventh Elder's Haotian Hammer was not much larger than Tang Long's or Tang Hu's, yet its surface was completely devoid of any patterns, and its soul light was entirely contained within, making it easier to concentrate all its power and unleash a peak strike.

As this person appeared in mid-air, nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appeared simultaneously and remained quietly on his Clear Sky Hammer.

However, what's rather strange is that, unlike the Seventh Elder who was constantly moving towards Yan, his nine spirit rings showed no signs of movement. They simply remained still on the Clear Sky Hammer, emitting a faint glow.

A dense white light erupted from his body, and the surrounding fiery soul light seemed to be cut apart by a sharp blade, scattering to both sides. The white light arrived in front of Yan almost instantly.

At the same time, the Seventh Elder in mid-air bared his teeth and opened his eyes, raising the Haotian Hammer in his hand. A dense black light had already enveloped his body, and a shocking blow erupted from the huge hammer that was raised high.

"An ant trying to shake a tree is overestimating its own strength."

Yan, hovering high above countless heads, watched the Seventh Elder launch a fierce attack. He merely sneered and waved his hand, causing countless fiery soul lights to gather and converge once more, transforming into a surging torrent of fire that engulfed the Seventh Elder.

"How arrogant!"

The white light released by the Seventh Elder was instantly engulfed by the torrent of flames. However, he did not intend to retreat. He simply snorted and his third soul ring suddenly shone brightly. A layer of black light spread over his entire body, making him appear taller.

His originally tall and thin body suddenly became muscular, and even the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand became huge. In the instant he turned his body, the Clear Sky Hammer was already gracefully swung out.

A burst of black light suddenly erupted, followed by a muffled sound in the air, and visible air fluctuations spread rapidly like a spider web.

This Seventh Elder has extremely rich practical experience. Although Yan's methods are too amazing, he is able to counter them, which shows that he is also quite skilled.

The enormous Haotian Hammer roared in, cutting off the extremely hot torrent of flames. After blocking this attack, the Seventh Elder took a step into the air and rose into the sky again amidst the explosive roar, heading straight for Yan's position.

Yan, high above, stretched out another hand and pressed it down casually. A huge fiery hand quickly gathered in the sky and then smashed down towards the flying Seventh Elder.

"Hey!"

The Seventh Elder looked up with a solemn expression and snorted coldly. He swung his right hand in the air, and the Haotian Hammer was thrown up and smashed towards the fiery palm in the sky under his aerial control.

His fifth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, the air suddenly became heavy, and a feeling as heavy as a mountain was suddenly released from his body.

A strange pressure suddenly swept upwards, completely destroying the flame energy in that area. This was a gravity control soul skill, which, combined with the Seventh Elder's technique, could unleash extremely powerful energy.

The seventh elder used this soul skill to disperse a lot of the flames, but he found that the rapidly condensing and falling flame palm above his head was completely unaffected. With a chill in his heart, he flipped over and continued to release his sixth soul skill.

His Haotian Hammer flew out of his hand in mid-air and smashed upwards. Judging from the power released by the two Haotian Hammers, the power of each one was not diminished.

This is a Martial Soul Clone skill, which is almost a top-tier skill for Weapon Martial Souls. It can temporarily transform one's Weapon Martial Soul into two, and its effect in actual combat is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The Haotian Hammer was already domineering, and now that it has become a dual-hammer mode, its terrifying power is unimaginable. As one of the five elders of the Haotian Sect, the strength of these seven elders has truly been revealed.

The two Haotian Hammers spiraled upwards in mid-air, rapidly accumulating power as they spun and struck, quickly forming a dark tornado.

With each rotation of the swirling Haotian Hammer, it seemed to complete a cycle of accumulating power for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, gathering even stronger forces that converged into the rising black dragon.

At this moment, a fiery palm, constantly solidifying, descended from the sky, while the Seventh Elder of Haotian's Chaotic Cloak Black Dragon technique continuously gathered power and rose upwards. The collision between the two was about to unfold, and everyone held their breath in anticipation.

"Boom!"

The moment the giant fiery hand collided with the black tornado, a deafening explosion seemed to resound in everyone's ears, and a terrifying shockwave swept in all directions.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Seventh Elder of Haotian was so easily defeated in front of Yan. The black tornado was instantly extinguished, and the two Haotian Hammers were also sent flying.

"Pfft~~~"

The Seventh Elder of Haotian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The many powerful figures of Haotian Sect below realized that he was no match for them at all, and hurriedly shouted for him to retreat. However, the old man was too proud to back down.

He raised his hand in mid-air to recall his two Clear Sky Hammers, and his seventh spirit ring gradually glowed. The many titled powerhouses below, including Tang Xiao, couldn't help but frown subconsciously as they watched this scene.

However, the two combatants' soul powers intertwined, forming a force field. The Seventh Elder was at the center of this force field, and any rash actions by them would only worsen the situation.

A massive amount of soul power condensed at the twin hammers in his hands, and the soul power erupted instantly, causing the true form of the weapon spirit to reach its peak in an instant.

At the same time, the eighth and ninth spirit rings above his head also shone brightly. At this moment, the Seventh Elder of Haotian released all his spirit skills, just to make Yan pay the price with this ultimate strike.

"Boom!"

The giant fiery hand in the sky continued to fall straight down, accompanied by a violent roar. Circles of black ripples spread across the massive Haotian Hammer, which had been imbued with a weapon spirit, while the Seventh Elder of Haotian's body fell uncontrollably downwards.

No one expected the outcome to be like this. The Haotian Sect, known for its brute force, is hailed as the nemesis of all powerful offensive martial souls in the world.

However, this titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect, known as the Blazing Sun, was defeated by Yan with a single palm strike in their duel.

From beginning to end, Yan could be said to have only made one move, which was to raise his palm and press down. The giant fiery palm was still pressing down relentlessly, and it seemed that it was going to kill the Seventh Elder of Haotian completely.

"Bang!!!"

A dark golden light suddenly shot into the sky, and Tang Xiao's seventh spirit ring instantly bloomed. As a martial spirit true body, his Haotian True Body was even stronger and more powerful than Tang Hao's.

Easily blocking the giant fiery hand in the sky, Tang Xiao leaped forward and caught the falling Seventh Elder, bringing the old man back to the Haotian Sect's camp.

"With a soul power cultivation level of ninety-seven, Tang Xiao, your potential is actually not much worse than Tang Hao's. If you are willing to lead the Clear Sky Sect to surrender to my Spirit Hall, I can make the decision to make you a titled elder of the Hall of Worship, and the Clear Sky Sect can once again become the number one sect in the world."

On the massive head of the Fire Dragon King, Yan looked down upon all living beings, his gaze meeting Tang Xiao's. His calm tone angered the powerful figures of the Haotian Sect, but none of them felt that he was unqualified to say such a thing.

...

Chapter 450 Two Suns Shine Together

"The Spirit Hall destroyed my sect and killed my family, and now they actually say they want to win us over. It's a joke."

Tang Xiao, unusually defiant, waved his hand, black light emanating from his palm, unleashing an unprecedentedly powerful aura. "Now that my Haotian Sect has returned to the world, we have no intention of compromising."

His right hand rose slightly, and a black sun suddenly rose from the earth, rushing towards the fiery sky with incomparably powerful and violent force.

"Heh...you'll regret this decision."

Yan chuckled lightly, then suddenly stood up with a more solemn expression, raising his hands to unleash his full power.

A burst of flames erupted in the sky, and an endless curtain of fire instantly spread out, almost engulfing the entire Dragon Rising City. Within the rolling flames, a colossal fire giant could be vaguely seen.

As the sky resounded, the gazes of countless people changed from shock to horror. Yan, who had released his full power, had also completed the Martial Soul Possession. His extraordinary Soul Ring configuration truly frightened everyone.

Nine perfectly symmetrical soul rings, black, purple, black, red, red, red, red, red, surrounded Yan's figure, forming a huge, heterochromatic ring.

Countless people were speechless with shock at the scene before them. Everyone knew that Yan's soul ring configuration was far beyond the standard, but the scene before them was just too terrifying.

The blood-red 100,000-year soul rings are something that countless soul masters in the soul master world dream of, yet Yan seems to have five of them appearing as if they were free.

That's a total of five! In the current Douluo Continent, it's unknown whether there are even five people who have been confirmed to possess 100,000-year spirit rings. He alone has five 100,000-year spirit rings. He's simply inhuman.

Moreover, he was a very famous Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and many people knew about his previous spirit ring configuration. The first four were relatively normal at first, yellow and purple-black.

But what's going on now? It's turned a deep, dark purple. Such a drastic change makes everyone wonder, especially some veteran powerhouses who have reached the point of no return.

Once a Soul Master reaches the Soul Saint level, the first four Soul Rings become less important. However, since you can't change Soul Rings, people haven't really thought about it.

But Yan's spirit ring configuration has changed significantly before and after. Anyone with eyes can guess that the Spirit Hall may have a way to increase the age of spirit rings. If this is true, it would be extremely important for those veteran powerhouses who have already found it extremely difficult to improve their strength.

"Where are the disciples of Haotian Sect?"

Countless Soul Masters inside and outside the square watched the flames in the sky and discussed it endlessly. Meanwhile, the Haotian Sect members, on the other side of this conflict, were under a lot of pressure. However, Tang Xiao made the decisive move of the Haotian Sect Master and his shout calmed many people down.

"exist!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

Hundreds of Haotian Sect disciples responded simultaneously, and this continuous, fervent shout startled many people. As if united as one, after this shout, the two hundred-plus Haotian disciples entered a state of frenzied determination.

"Follow me, and kill the enemy."

Tang Xiao roared and raised his right hand. The black light condensed and did not dissipate. An enormous black hammer rippled with countless boundless black light that continued to spread. On the hammer, which was the size of a water vat, dark golden patterns exuded an intense sense of agitation.

After enduring nearly twenty years, Tang Xiao finally let go of everything. At this moment, he had nothing but Yan above his head and only one thought in his mind.

That is to kill the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall in front of him, to avenge the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect who have died or been injured over the years, and to avenge his father, brother, nephew, and even grandfather.

"It is true that we are united in purpose. However, your Haotian Sect has long missed the best opportunity. Today, you have nothing left."

Yan, high above the sky, was like a giant fire god looking down on all living beings. Facing hundreds of Haotian disciples who raised their warhammers at the same time, he simply raised his palm and pressed it down again.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The four soul rings, black, purple, and black, flashed simultaneously. The endless flames rapidly subsided as their explosive power increased, and a giant fiery hand, carrying immeasurable pressure and endless light and heat, illuminated the earth.

"It's so hot! It's so hot! Everyone, get out of here! Get out of here!"

"Such a terrifying temperature, is this really a Soul Master?"

"Impossible! If that palm strike landed, not only this square, but the entire Longxing City would be destroyed."

"My goodness, is such a big show really necessary? There are hundreds of thousands of people in this city."

……

Before the giant fiery hand even landed, countless Soul Masters watching the battle couldn't withstand the scorching heat and retreated in droves, fleeing faster than rabbits.

As for the group from Haotian Sect, they had no chance to escape. However, most of the power of Yan's palm strike was absorbed by Tang Xiao and the five elders in the center. Although the third and fourth generation disciples also felt the heat, they could barely withstand it.

"Five elders, please lend me a hand."

Tang Xiao released an incredibly terrifying black light, as if a continuously expanding black hole extinguished all flames.

The five elders of the Haotian Sect were also surrounding Tang Xiao at this moment, using special means to guide the soul power of hundreds of people into an array to resist Yan's terrifying ultimate move. At the same time, they also transferred some of their own soul power to Tang Xiao, allowing him to confront Yan head-on.

"Boom!"

Scorching flames suddenly erupted from Yan's body in the sky, instantly covering his body with mysterious patterns. A pair of fiery wings appeared on his back, and his golden-red hair fluttered like flames.

"Boom!"

Tang Xiao stomped his foot on the ground, and his whole body soared into the sky like a whirlwind. The Haotian Hammer in his hand flew rapidly, rushing straight towards Yan in the sky.

If Yan is like a sun shining brightly across the earth, then Tang Xiao is like a black hole that devours everything, eyeing Yan like a sun, determined to fight him to the death in the sky.

The golden-red sun and the black demonic sun drew ever closer in the sky. Yan's sun was filled with a terrifying aura that could incinerate all things, while Tang Xiao's demonic sun possessed an evil and domineering power that could devour everything.

"Boom!!!"

The moment the golden-red sun collided with the pitch-black demonic sun, an indescribable, muffled sound echoed in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterward, there seemed to be a moment of disorientation. Everyone felt as if they had lost control of their bodies at that moment, and an extremely uncomfortable sense of oppression weighed on their hearts. Then, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

The blazing sun and the demonic sun collided in the sky and then passed each other for a moment before rapidly approaching and colliding again. After a muffled thud, shockwaves spread in all directions.

A terrifying shockwave rippled outwards, its powerful force causing countless buildings to sway and even collapse. The entire arena and vast plaza, except for the space where the Haotian disciples stood, were reduced to scattered fragments.

As the saying goes, there can't be two suns in the sky, but at this moment, it seemed as if three suns appeared in the sky above Longxing City, vying for brilliance.

Apart from the great star that is already far away in the sky, the remaining two suns look larger and more dazzling, one is golden red and fiery, and the other is dark and desolate.
