Even though Tang San's aura was several times stronger than at the beginning, especially after absorbing Bibi Dong's Divine Power and gaining control of the entire God Slaying Array, he no longer seemed to be at the Level 100 threshold, his pressure becoming even more formidable.
However, Tang San clearly sensed Yang Xiong's changes. Particularly, after such a prolonged battle, Yang Xiong's injuries were actually recovering at this very moment. This effect was not inferior to Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor's Undying Body.
This meant that Yang Xiong had never used his full strength from the very beginning. Even when fighting all three of them simultaneously, he had still held back.
Furthermore, Yang Xiong possessed such an incredible ability. After enduring attacks from three Gods consecutively, his injuries were extremely severe, yet he could recover to his peak in an instant. It was almost unimaginable.
Tang San's face was filled with surprise: "Yang Xiong, did you already know I would come after you?"
Yang Xiong snorted coldly, "This isn't to guard against you. I always reserve some of my strength. That is to say, no matter when, I never let anyone know my true strength. I didn't expect you to harbor such hatred towards me. It seems we're in for some unexpected surprises today. What a shame."
Tang San said, "As expected, you weren't giving it your all at the start. But even so, you are merely a Level 99 Limit Douluo. Your Soul Power is ultimately limited, and you cannot compare to a God. Only by truly becoming a God will you understand the gap between Level 99 and a God."
Yang Xiong laughed, "Tang San, originally, I didn't intend to make a move on you, considering the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are allies, and we were classmates before. Unfortunately, you think too much and your ambition is too great. You actually want to attack me. It seems I've underestimated you."
Tang San burst into laughter, "Very well, Yang Xiong. I've always wanted to have a real fight with you. Today, I'll take a good look at how you, a Limit Douluo, can truly contend with me, a true God."
As he spoke, Tang San's body erupted with boundless aura. He held the Rakshasa Magic Scythe in his right hand and the Clear Sky Hammer in his left, simultaneously displaying his Soul Rings.
Seeing Tang San's last two Soul Rings, a hint of surprise flashed across Yang Xiong's lips. "Interesting. Your Clear Sky Hammer's last two Soul Rings should have come from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. It seems I truly underestimated you. You'll go to any lengths to become stronger."
Tang San seemed to have been exposed by Yang Xiong's words and roared, "Yang Xiong, don't slander me! Da Ming and Er Ming sacrificed themselves to me at a critical moment when they were attacked by Bibi Dong, which is why I must kill Bibi Dong to avenge them."
Yang Xiong was immensely shocked upon hearing this. Logically, under the current circumstances, Bibi Dong would not have had the opportunity to gather a large force to hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. How could the events of the original story, where Tang San reaped the benefits, have occurred? But judging by Tang San's two Soul Rings, they truly came from sacrifices. The process was likely not that simple.
Especially since Tang San was particularly fond of Xiao Wu, it was theoretically impossible for him to harm Xiao Wu's two closest relatives, which presented a contradiction.
However, looking at the black aura surrounding Tang San, Yang Xiong suspected he had long since received the inheritance of the Rakshasa God. And the Rakshasa God was originally a madman. Now Tang San was likely the same, so everything made sense.
"Tang San, since you dare to attack me, then neither of us will live to see another day. Perhaps I should also let you witness my true strength and understand the gap between us."
With that, Yang Xiong's body exuded a blood-red aura that filled the entire world. Everyone seemed to be enveloped by this crimson aura.
Tang San's expression slightly changed. His body also emanated an endless black aura, filled with slaughter and evil. This was Tang San's Rakshasa Domain.
The Asura Domain and the Rakshasa Domain collided in the air, and the sky itself seemed to crack at that moment. Tang San was indeed very strong now, especially after absorbing Bibi Dong's energy and the entire God Slaying Array. His aura was already far stronger than Qian Renxue's.
Yang Xiong directly unleashed a sword strike, and a blood-red sword qi shot up into the sky, containing an extremely terrifying killing intent. It directly cleaved through Tang San's Rakshasa Domain.
Tang San did not dwell on it. He directly wielded the Rakshasa Magic Scythe and struck with all his might. However, Yang Xiong's sword qi was too sharp. Even though Tang San used a Divine Artifact, he was somewhat unable to hold on.
Yang Xiong then transformed into a blood-red silhouette and flew rapidly towards Tang San.
Tang San struck forcefully with his left hand, smashing the Clear Sky Hammer towards Yang Xiong. The Clear Sky Hammer immediately collided with the Asura Demon Sword, unleashing immense power.
Yang Xiong was still in his Demigod body, while Tang San had already become a God. In terms of strength, there wasn't a significant difference between the two.
Especially since Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Soul Rings were exceptional. He already had nine top-tier Soul Rings, and now he had a tenth. The weight of the Clear Sky Hammer alone reached tens of thousands of pounds, not to mention Tang San himself had various amplification Soul Skills.
The two attacked each other rapidly, mainly clashing with raw power. Both Tang San and Yang Xiong had essentially reached the pinnacle of Soul Master strength. Especially Tang San, his Clear Sky Hammer was significantly stronger in terms of raw power than Qian Renxue's.
Yang Xiong grew more courageous as the battle progressed. Tang San's strength was even greater than he had imagined, especially in terms of raw power. His Martial Soul had evolved so many times, reaching what could be considered ultimate strength. Yet, Tang San's potential also seemed to have reached ultimate strength.
Suddenly, Tang San used his seventh Soul Skill. Instantly, Tang San's dark Clear Sky Hammer became immensely large, as if filled with infinite power. Tang San himself resembled a giant. This was Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul True Body.
Yang Xiong did not hesitate and directly used his seventh Soul Skill: Asura True Body. His entire body instantly expanded, reaching about three meters in height. Especially behind Yang Xiong, a blood-red silhouette appeared, standing like a giant between heaven and earth.
Seeing Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer smash down with full force, the blood-red silhouette behind Yang Xiong seemed to wield a hundred-meter-long sword and directly blocked Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer attack.
Yang Xiong suddenly snorted, "Tang San, you went through all the trouble to become the Rakshasa God. If this is all the strength you have, then you've truly disappointed me."
As Yang Xiong, who had activated his Martial Soul True Body, struck with the blood-red longsword, a blood-red light shot up into the sky, as if to pierce the heavens. This was Yang Xiong's third form of Asura Swordplay: Asura Pierces the Sun.
Even Tang San understood the power of Yang Xiong's move. His left arm and torso suddenly flickered with Soul Power, and two forces shot out from his body.
These were two of Tang San's Soul Bone skills, activated simultaneously. His left arm emitted a deep blue light, like a blue dragon, and the entire space seemed to slow down.
His torso emitted a yellow-brown light with immense destructive power. The surrounding environment seemed to be under extreme compression, akin to Gravity Control.
These were Tang San's two newly acquired Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone skills, respectively from the Sky Azure Bull Python's Azure Slowness Divine Claw and the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Bone skill, Gravity Control.
However, Yang Xiong's Asura Pierces the Sun was incredibly powerful, even more so than Tang San had imagined. After all, this was a divine skill inherited from the Asura God.
Tang San also unleashed his two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone skills with all his might. The Titan Giant Ape possessed extremely terrifying defensive capabilities, able to directly contend with the enemy's Soul Skills. The Sky Azure Bull Python's Soul Bone skill possessed a delaying domain and very strong control capabilities.
Yang Xiong's blood-red light from Asura Pierces the Sun shot up into the sky. Tang San, on one hand, used his torso Soul Bone skill to directly contend with the red light. On the other hand, like a blue dragon, he entangled Yang Xiong's move.
After this exchange, Yang Xiong remained completely still, but Tang San retreated dozens of meters. His previously vibrant aura had slightly diminished. It appeared that even though Tang San had used two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills, he had still sustained some injuries.
Whether it was Yang Xiong or Tang San, their fighting spirit intensified. Both had red eyes and attacked each other with full force.
Yang Xiong felt his fighting spirit grow stronger, becoming more fierce and unyielding.
At this moment, Tang San was the strongest opponent Yang Xiong had ever encountered, even significantly stronger than Qian Renxue was back then. This also ignited Yang Xiong's desire to fight.
In a sense, Tang San's strength could be considered unprecedentedly powerful on the Douluo Continent. Not only did his two Martial Souls complement each other, but the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer also reached an incredibly terrifying level. Not to mention Tang San also possessed the Divine Artifact, the Rakshasa Magic Scythe.
At this moment, Tang San suddenly waved his hand. The Rakshasa Magic Scythe in his hand shot towards Yang Xiong at an extremely high speed. As it flew, the Rakshasa Magic Scythe merged with the Rakshasa Domain and swiftly slashed towards Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong gripped the Asura Demon Sword and struck. The Asura Demon Sword collided with the Rakshasa Magic Scythe, and the Rakshasa Magic Scythe was directly knocked away.
However, the Rakshasa Magic Scythe seemed to be under control and swiftly attacked Yang Xiong from an extremely tricky angle.
Yang Xiong was unafraid and directly swung his sword to block. In just an instant, the Rakshasa Magic Scythe attacked countless times from numerous angles, each strike possessing immense power, with a subtle trend of stacking effects.
Tang San suddenly roared, "Yang Xiong, today is your death day! Take this!"
Yang Xiong instantly understood. Tang San was using his mental power to remotely control the Rakshasa Magic Scythe to attack him, employing the Clear Sky Sect's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. With the enhancement of the Divine Artifact, its power was indeed maximized.
The Rakshasa Magic Scythe was incredibly fast. After attacking eighty times consecutively, it finally resembled a black dragon. Even Yang Xiong felt a great threat.
