Having lost the soul bone that was completely fused with his body, Tang Hao's soul power level eventually dropped to level 75, Soul Saint.
Ten minutes later.
"Your Highness, Tang Hao tried to escape but failed. He was trapped by our two Polar Stillness Domains. This time, he completely underestimated the power of the Polar Stillness Domains," Juhua Guan explained.
At this moment, Tang Hao was thrown to the ground like trash. Crimson blood had stained the soil, and he looked like he was on the verge of death. If it weren't for the fact that a Title Douluo has extremely strong vitality, he would probably have bled to death long ago.
Meanwhile, because two soul bones were forcibly extracted, his right arm and left leg are now basically useless, unless he can get those two soul bones back in the future.
Seeing this, Blue Silver Emperor A Yin felt her heart breaking. Just as she was about to rush forward to help Tang Hao up, Dong Qing suddenly spoke up: "Run? Doesn't he care about Sister A Yin? I never said I was going to kill him..."
After saying that, he gently pulled Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, his face showing a very angry expression.
"Afraid of death, huh? I never imagined that the former Haotian Douluo would lack the courage to fight to the death," Ghost Douluo said calmly.
He wasn't surprised at all; no one is a hero forever, after all, people's hearts change.
Even if you are a tough guy now, you may not have the same fearless courage a decade or two from now.
"Ah Yin...is he...telling the truth? Dong Qing, he really didn't want to kill me for revenge?"
Tang Hao was in very bad shape and spoke intermittently. He knew he had failed this time and had been tricked by Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo's trump card, the Two Extremes Stillness Domain.
But he had never heard of such a martial soul fusion domain where titled Douluo merged with each other. On his first attempt, he experienced an unimaginable sense of despair.
After successfully defeating the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, Tang Hao once again experienced the powerful dual-polar static fusion domain.
Back then, these two overlords of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest were just as helpless and desperate as they are now, forced to watch helplessly as Xiao Wu's mother was ruthlessly killed by Bibi Dong.
Chapter 46, Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone
"It's true, Xiaoqing never ordered you to be killed..."
Blue Silver Emperor A Yin glanced down at Dong Qing, who was gently holding her wrist. Afraid that Dong Qing might actually kill Tang Hao in a fit of anger, she had no choice but to stay obediently by his side.
Of course, she was also a little upset because of Tang Hao's escape. She never thought that Tang Hao would abandon her and run away one day.
However, the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin was ultimately kind-hearted, and she couldn't bear to see Tang Hao in such a miserable state.
Finally, she pleaded in a low voice, "Xiao Qing, since you don't intend to kill Hao, can I help him recover from his injuries?"
"Of course you can, Sister Ayin, there's no need to be so afraid. I'm not a man-eating demon. He's your other half, and Xiao San is also my childhood friend. It's only right that you want to help him," Dongqing comforted her gently.
Actually, Tang Hao's current miserable state is not his fault. Dong Qing didn't mean to torture him like this. It's all his own fault for being so foul-mouthed. Why did you have to curse Chrysanthemum Pass and the Spirit Hall's lackeys?
He was, after all, a Punishment Elder of the Spirit Hall. Although he wasn't second only to the leader, he held a high position and great power within the Spirit Hall and was a distinguished guest of the two great empires.
It should be noted that Dong Qing is a Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and he usually holds the elders of the Spirit Hall in high esteem.
Even if you really look down on Tang Hao, a Title Douluo who works for the Spirit Hall, it's fine to say a few words in your heart. But if you openly insult him, don't blame others for taking drastic measures against you.
"Thank you, Xiaoqing."
After speaking, Blue Silver Emperor A Yin did not dare to delay any longer and immediately activated the highest secret technique of the Blue Silver Domain.
It can completely heal any injury, no matter how severe.
Of course, it cannot repair the injuries caused by using the Great Sumeru Hammer's ultimate technique to explode the spirit ring. Such severe damage to the spirit ring can only be slowly restored over time.
"Wildfire cannot extinguish it; the spring breeze brings it back to life."
In an instant, under the influence of her Blue Silver Domain, countless Blue Silver Grasses within a radius of tens of kilometers shook their blue branches and leaves, offering a sliver of their life force as a sacrifice to the loyal emperor.
As countless wisps of life force gathered together, Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin successfully condensed a ball of emerald green light. Then, under the cold gazes of Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo,
She lowered her head and approached the severely injured Tang Hao, placing the emerald green light on his body and beginning to slowly repair the damage inside his body.
As she was rescuing Tang Hao, Ju Huaguan suddenly spoke up, saying, "Your Highness, I only managed to extract two soul bones from him just now, but the whereabouts of the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, are unknown."
"Two soul bones?" Dong Qing asked curiously.
No wonder he sensed something was off about Tang Hao earlier. He had previously displayed soul power fluctuations at the Title Douluo level, but now he only showed soul power fluctuations at the Soul Saint level.
Dong Qing assumed that Tang Hao was seriously injured, which would naturally weaken his soul power fluctuations. However, he never expected that Tang Hao's soul bone had been extracted by the Chrysanthemum Pass.
“Yes, these should be the inherited soul bones of the Haotian Sect. Each soul bone is over 30,000 years old.” As Juhua Guan spoke, he took out a right arm soul bone and a left leg soul bone from his own spatial soul tool.
Upon hearing this, Dong Qing quickly said, "Congratulations to the two elders on your further improvement in strength."
He didn't presume to ask for the two soul bones; they were spoils of war seized by a titled Douluo, and had nothing to do with him whatsoever.
"If Tang Hao had spoken politely from the start and hadn't attacked right away, he wouldn't have had his soul bone ripped out," Dong Qing thought to himself, speechless.
"Hao, your soul bone..." Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin said with heartache.
Even though doubts had been planted in her heart, Tang Hao was still her man, and his current miserable state still broke her heart.
After a while, Tang Hao's body recovered a little, and he said, "Now, my soul bone has been taken away by you... Dong Qing, for the sake of Xiao San and you growing up together, and for the sake of Ah Yin being able to help Old Jack prolong his life, can our feud end?"
He knew that circumstances were beyond his control, and only by bringing out the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin and having Tang San plead for him could he safely leave this place.
"Nonsense..."
Just as Dong Qing was about to speak, Ghost Douluo appeared beside him instantly, gently pressing his shoulder. Under Dong Qing's puzzled gaze, Ghost Douluo shook his head slightly.
Then, turning to Tang Hao, she said in a low voice, "Tang Hao, the kill order against you has long been lifted. In theory, if you don't provoke the Spirit Hall, we won't take action against you. But you should never have tried to plot against His Highness the Holy Son six years ago."
"If it weren't for His Highness the Holy Son pleading for you and allowing me to spare your life, you would have already been killed by Yue Guan. Of course, as the price for your provoke of the Spirit Hall, your soul bone will naturally belong to the two of us."
"Now, the grudges between you and the two of us can certainly be settled with the soul bone in your body, but remember, His Highness the Holy Son is a different matter."
At this point, Ghost Douluo's eyes grew even colder. After glancing at Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, he continued, "If you can't come up with suitable compensation today, even if His Highness the Holy Son is merciful and spares your life, His Holiness the Pope will not let your family off the hook."
"In His Holiness the Pope's fury, neither the three upper sects nor the two great empires will have a place for your family."
"Don't think that just because you were once the youngest Title Douluo on the entire continent and the Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect, you are infinitely glorious. Now, you are nothing more than an outsider discarded by the Haotian Sect. In order to protect themselves, they have already removed you from the list."
Ghost Douluo's words, like a cold blade, pierced Tang Hao's heart.
Yes, I've already been abandoned...
"Then... what do you want?" Tang Hao could tell that Dong Qing couldn't make the decisions now.
Even if he agrees to let me go now, if I can't come up with suitable compensation, Bibi Dong, Dong Qing's teacher and the Pope of the Spirit Hall, will definitely not let me go.
"A 100,000-year-old soul bone. The 100,000-year-old soul beast beside you has the soul bone of the Blue Silver Emperor. Your Highness is a genius, destined to dominate the continent in the future," Chrysanthemum Pass said calmly.
Both he and Ghost Douluo were staunch supporters of the Pope's faction, so they naturally gave their full support to Dong Qing. Meanwhile, the faction led by Qian Daoliu in the Hall of Worship supported Qian Renxue.
They are now secretly competing, each hoping that the one they support will defeat the other.
This is why Chrysanthemum Pass was so wary of Li Qiyun, a level 93 Title Douluo, from the beginning—because she represented the power of the Hall of Offerings faction.
In any world, in any empire, internal power struggles exist, and each faction has its own supporters.
"Alright, I promise you. I hope our feud ends here. Dongqing, catch this." After Tang Hao finished speaking, he took out a soul bone that shone with blue and gold from the spatial soul tool at his waist and threw it directly to Dongqing, who was standing there in a daze.
Although Tang Hao was filled with hatred, he had no choice but to compromise at this moment.
The reason is simple: his grandfather, Tang Chen, has disappeared without a trace, and the Clear Sky Sect, facing the rising power of the Spirit Hall, cannot even protect him, the next sect leader.
Alone and isolated, how could he dare to provoke the Spirit Hall again? If he had the courage and strength, he wouldn't have been content to be a blacksmith in Holy Soul Village for so many years.
Chapter 47, A New Beginning
"A soul bone from ten thousand years ago..."
Looking at the blue-gold soul bone in his hand, Dong Qing gradually fell into deep thought.
For others, a 100,000-year-old soul bone would certainly be a valuable item, as it could greatly enhance their strength.
But for me, apart from soul rings, which are essential for upgrading soul power, soul bones, which are foreign items that are integrated into the body, always feel like they are defiling my pure bloodline of the Heavenly Horned Ant.
If the Ten Fierce Horned Ants hadn't been destroyed, and if they knew that their pure-blooded descendants wanted to fuse with bones that weren't even considered pure-blooded beings, they would probably knock Dongqing's skull off.
"This is awkward. For them, a 100,000-year-old soul bone is indeed a good thing, but for me, this thing is not very useful!" Dong Qing thought to himself.
As long as he continues to awaken the Heavenly Horned Ant bloodline, he can awaken the Ten Fierce Treasures dormant deep within his bloodline, so Dong Qing doesn't care about the soul skills he has acquired.
No matter how strong a soul skill is, can it surpass the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant Treasure Technique?
Soul skills, whether strong or weak, are ultimately just abilities of a low-level fantasy world, and he is destined to embark on the path of conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.
Of course, the myriad realms are still far from Dong Qing's reach; he must first reach the top in Douluo Continent.
As for the soul bone, to be honest, even if we don't mention that it pollutes the pure bloodline of the Heavenly Horned Ant, as long as Dong Qing's bloodline awakening reaches 30%.
The awakening of one's own natal horn is more powerful than even a million-year-old soul bone.
But now, another problem has arisen. Dong Qing cannot refuse such a good thing. Otherwise, in the eyes of Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo, he would be a crazy person who would not even want a 100,000-year soul bone.
Even when the news reached Bibi Dong's ears, she began to doubt Dong Qing's intelligence.
Think about it.
Dong Qing decided to accept it first, after all, it was a 100,000-year-old soul bone, and as for when to fuse with it, that was up to him.
"I am very satisfied with the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, Tang Hao. Let's call it even. And I believe that your teacher is also satisfied with your compensation," Dong Qing said calmly.
As he spoke, he placed the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone into the Green Mountain Hidden Waters Tunnel on his waist. Although this spatial soul tool stored a lot of things, there was still extra space to put a soul bone in it.
Tang Hao's life was of no importance to him; whether he lived or died, it didn't really matter.
However, in order to get help from Grandpa Jack, who raised him, and the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, he could generously spare his life.
Besides, killing Tang Hao now would only make her harbor great resentment, since she still has feelings for him.
Although Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin already harbors some doubts about Tang Hao, this seed of doubt needs time to be nurtured before it can grow into a towering tree.
"Now that everything is over, I should go. Ah Yin, do you want to come with me?" Tang Hao looked at the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin beside him. Her external injuries had almost healed.
However, his missing soul bone can never be recovered. Now, it is unknown how many years it will take for his soul power level to recover to the level of a Title Douluo of level ninety.
"No, Hao, I promised Xiaoqing that I would help his Grandpa Jack solve his lifespan problem," Blue Silver Emperor A Yin said gently, shaking his head.
"Alright, Ah Yin, after this is over, you can come to Notting City to find me. Xiao San and I will be waiting for you there," Tang Hao nodded.
He then limped away.
Now that he no longer needs to hide, he has learned that there is no kill order, and he has already fallen from the level of Title Douluo.
To the vast Spirit Hall, Tang Hao, along with the still-growing Tang San, were practically no different from ants.
Therefore, Tang Hao was naturally not worried about the Spirit Hall going back on its word, especially since this was something Dong Qing had personally promised, and he had given them ample gifts as compensation and apology.
