Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

Tang Chen also felt a slight chill in his heart.

Qian Daoliu's divine power remained vast and boundless, and his Angelic Martial Soul seemed to have become even more effective at suppressing evil spirits, subtly suppressing some of his murderous aura. Their gazes clashed again in mid-air, their fighting spirit burning fiercely!

"Again!"

Tang Chen roared, and the Blood Hammer rose again, this time with countless hammer shadows.

The two fought from the ground into the air at extreme speed, leaving only two blurry streaks of light and a constantly exploding energy storm.

The sky above the Haotian Sect has been transformed into a battlefield!

The clash between the peerless Douluo was filled with destructive power in every move.

Tang Xiao and the others were both excited by the old sect leader's strength and worried about the sect's potential destruction.

After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, the two were evenly matched! Neither could gain the upper hand!

Qian Daoliu felt increasingly anxious.

His original intention was to achieve a swift victory, capture or kill the "traitor" Tang Xiao, and thus intimidate the Haotian Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect.

Now that Tang Chen has suddenly appeared with formidable strength, a prolonged battle will not only fail to achieve its goal, but may also allow the Holy Spirit Cult to reap the benefits.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"Tang Chen! Stop!"

Qian Daoliu abruptly deflected Tang Chen's heavy hammer, retreating a distance, his voice carrying a hint of authority.

"Continuing this fight will only result in mutual destruction, allowing the true enemy—the Holy Spirit Cult—to have the last laugh! There must be a misunderstanding here! We should stop for now and find out the truth!"

"Misunderstand?"

Tang Chen's bloodshot eyes were full of sarcasm. He didn't believe Qian Daoliu's words at all, and he would never accept such a "stop" proposal.

The Spirit Hall destroyed his mountain gate first and then smeared his sect. How can it be forgiven with just a "misunderstanding"?

Chapter 131 Qian Daoliu Becomes a God?

"Qian Daoliu, put away your hypocrisy! Today, either you get out of the Haotian Sect, or you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Seeing Tang Chen's unyielding and resolute stance, Qian Daoliu's last bit of patience ran out.

A strange smile appeared on his face, a smile that carried absolute confidence, and even... a hint of pity.

"Tang Chen, you are indeed very strong. But unfortunately..."

Qian Daoliu's voice suddenly became ethereal yet grand, and the aura surrounding him began to undergo a dramatic transformation.

"Times have changed."

An indescribable, terrifying pressure erupted from Qian Daoliu without warning!

This pressure far surpasses the level of the previous Peerless Douluo!

All the experts of the Haotian Sect, including Tang Chen, turned deathly pale instantly!

They felt their soul power becoming extremely sluggish, and even breathing became difficult!

"This...this is...level 100?"

Tang Xiao gasped in shock, his voice filled with utter horror.

The pinnacle of Title Douluo is the level 99 Peerless Douluo, and level 100... that's the legendary realm of gods!

Qian Daoliu, he actually broke through?!

Tang Chen's pupils contracted sharply! That barrier of realm, which he had pursued his entire life without success, was now being displayed on his enemy!

But Tang Chen, in his entire life, has never been afraid.

"Roar--!"

Tang Chen roared, his muscles bulging and veins protruding, and the blood-red giant hammer instantly expanded to its maximum size!

He burned with the essence of his life, pouring all his cultivation, killing intent, and indomitable fighting spirit into this single hammer blow!

"Great Sumeru Hammer - Ring Explosion!"

Nine spirit rings, like nine burning blood suns, suddenly appeared on Tang Chen's body, and then—exploded with a bang!

An unimaginable burst of destructive energy erupted instantly, all of it merging into that towering, blood-red giant hammer!

This is Tang Chen's ultimate blow!

Its power even briefly broke through the restraints of the level 100 pressure!

A hint of seriousness flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

He never expected that Tang Chen could unleash such terrifying power, which was almost at the god level!

He dared not be presumptuous. He clenched his fists, and holy light gathered in his palms, transforming into a huge spear of light that seemed capable of judging all the heavens!

"The spear of judgment!"

The spear of light, condensed from the power of a hundred-level god, clashed violently with the ultimate blood hammer, which burned with life force and exploded!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

A deafening roar that defies description!

A ball of light, a hundred times brighter than the sun, suddenly shone above the Haotian Sect, instantly engulfing everything!

A terrifying energy storm swept down, and the main peak of the Haotian Sect collapsed like a sandcastle under this force!

Countless buildings were reduced to dust!

If Tang Xiao and the elders hadn't risked their lives to protect the core disciples, the aftershocks of this attack would have been enough to severely damage the Haotian Sect!

The light faded, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Tang Chen's figure plummeted from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground, his body covered in blood, his aura extremely weak, and the blood-red giant hammer in his hand had vanished.

He forcibly detonated the ring, and with the impact of the level 100 divine power, he was already severely injured.

Qian Daoliu remained suspended in mid-air, his body shimmering with golden light. Although his aura fluctuated, it was clearly far superior to Tang Chen's.

Level 100 and level 99 are ultimately worlds apart.

He looked down at the devastated and mournful scene of the Haotian Sect below, then at Tang Chen, who was struggling to stand up, and a barely perceptible hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

That Tang Chen is a madman! If I hadn't broken through to level 100, the outcome today would have been unpredictable...

He didn't want to completely destroy the Haotian Sect, but he could sense that the power of the Great Sumeru Hammer's exploding ring technique had exceeded his expectations, and the recoil had also caused his divine power to surge.

More importantly... the Holy Spirit Cult!

His gaze swept over the chaotic Haotian Sect members below.

There must be spies from the Holy Spirit Cult hiding among them. If he were to forcibly destroy the cult now, although he might succeed, he would suffer a loss of divine power, and with the Holy Spirit Cult watching him like a hawk... there's no guarantee that something unexpected won't happen.

In the blink of an eye, Qian Daoliu had already made his decision.

"Humph!"

Qian Daoliu snorted coldly, his voice echoing throughout the ruins.

"Considering that Tang Chen is still alive and the Clear Sky Sect's legacy is hard-won, we will spare you for now! But the Spirit Hall will definitely investigate the matter of the Holy Spirit Cult's spies to the end! Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, you'd better watch yourselves!"

He gave a final, cold glance down, said no more, and with a flash of golden light from his six wings, he vanished into the sky.

The elite forces of the Spirit Hall also retreated swiftly like a tide, leaving behind a devastated Clear Sky Sect.

Qian Daoliu's figure sped through the clouds.

Haotian Sect... Hmph, it's not too late to deal with you after we've completely dealt with the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.

However... now is not the time to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult.

His gaze shifted to the distant depths of the ocean.

Now... it's time to go to Poseidon Island.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Qian Daoliu's lips.

Poseidon… Back then, you relied on the advantageous location of Seagod Island and the power of the Seagod to repeatedly refuse me. Now that I have reached level 100, I'd like to see if you, the Seagod Douluo, can still maintain that aloof and superior attitude in front of me.

A golden streak of light pierced the sky, heading straight towards the sea.

-

The Haotian Sect after Qiandao left.

evening.

A relatively well-preserved side hall.

Tang Chen sat cross-legged on a makeshift futon. Although his breathing was more stable than when he fell, he was still shockingly weak.

Forcibly detonating the rings to counter the power of a level 100 god is still too much of a strain.

He is currently closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.

Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, Tang San, and several elders sat around the edge, none of them speaking.

Tang Hao leaned against the wall, his breathing much weaker than Tang Chen's.

Tang Xiao frowned, his gaze shifting between his seriously injured grandfather and younger brother.

After a long silence, an elder with white hair broke the silence:

"The old sect master's divine might... if it weren't for your timely return..."

He paused, then his words were replaced by a deeper fear.

"But that Qian Daoliu... has actually stepped into the Divine Realm! Level 100... the legendary realm! How... how can we possibly defeat him?"

His voice trembled uncontrollably, expressing the sentiments of everyone present.

The power displayed by Qian Daoliu weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, crushing their pride as the number one sect in the world.

"yes,"

Another elder spoke up.

"After this battle, the sect's foundation was severely damaged, and the number of disciples killed or wounded was heavy. The Spirit Hall now sees us as a thorn in their side. Qian Daoliu's words before he left... 'a spy for the Holy Spirit Cult'... once this label is attached to us, I'm afraid..."
