Tang Hao roared and suddenly rose from the ground. The wounds on his body, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye by the combination of Oscar's sausage and Ning Rongrong's divine light. His tattered robe was completely shredded by the intense divine power, revealing a bronze, steel-like, imposing physique. The aura he now exuded was several times more fearsome than at his prime. If Tang Hao before was a volcano about to erupt, now he was a star on the verge of exploding.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Tang Hao spat out three words in succession, feeling an unprecedented, nearly overflowing explosive force surging within him. His tiger eyes once again burned with intense fighting spirit and fury.
"Rongrong, Xiao Ao, well done. Now let me break everything apart!"
Having regained his strength and ascended to the rank of First-Class God, Tang Hao, together with Ah Yin, launched a fierce assault on Wang Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan. This time, the tide of offense and defense immediately reversed.
"Blue and Silver Domain!"
Ah Yin shouted, and behind her, countless Blue Silver Emperor vines, shining with a nine-colored halo, soared into the sky, covering the heavens and sun, transforming into a boundless sea of vines reaching toward Zhang Lexuan. Each vine resembled a giant python, extremely tenacious, capable of swallowing life and suppressing divine power.
Zhang Lexuan's expression changed. She immediately invoked the divine power of the Moon God, and Artemis' bow shone brightly as cold moonlight arrows shot out, attempting to freeze and sever the vines. But this time, her moonlight powers seemed to collide with an old nemesis. Empowered by the nine-colored divine light, the vines now had strong resistance against her moonlight. Where the arrows struck, a thin layer of white frost appeared, but was quickly dispelled by the majestic vitality within the vines. In an instant, Zhang Lexuan was completely submerged in the endless vines and forced into a bitter defensive battle. She barely managed to hold up her Moonflower Shield and keep the vines at bay, but the consumption of her divine power was several times faster than before.
After all, she was a newly ascended god, and her divine power and combat experience could not compare to that of seasoned powerhouses like Ah Yin, who had weathered countless storms. Now that Ah Yin's power had forcibly risen to the level of a First-Class God, the gap between them had grown infinitely wider.
Meanwhile, the battle between Tang Hao and Wang Qiu'er was even more direct and fierce.
"Sumeru Hammer!"
Tang Hao roared in fury, and the black light of the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand flashed. Nine shadowy phantom rings appeared around him, detonating one after another in an instant. This was his most powerful technique before becoming a god, and now, fueled by the divine power of a First-Class God, his strength was no longer what it used to be. Each explosion of a ring doubled the power of the Clear Sky Hammer in his grip, and when all nine rings had detonated, pure destructive power condensed upon the giant black hammer, shattering and collapsing the very space around it.
"Break!"
Tang Hao swung the hammer. No fancy tricks, just ultimate power.
Wang Qiu'er's face grew solemn. She could feel the terrifying force within this hammer, a level she could not easily withstand. She too pushed Sea God's divinity to its limits. The Golden Dragon Spear in her hand let out a sharp dragon's roar, and man and spear became one, transforming into a golden divine dragon to confront the black giant hammer.
Boom—!!!
Another earth-shattering collision. But this time, the outcome was very different. The moment the golden divine dragon met the black giant hammer, it let out a groan. The terrible force from the tip of the spear caused Wang Qiu'er's divine body to tremble violently, and golden divine blood sprayed uncontrollably. Her whole body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, the Golden Dragon Spear almost slipping from her grasp. She had lost in pure strength.
Not long ago, Wang Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan had both broken through to the god level, and although they had laid solid foundations thanks to their divine positions and the Chaos aura given by Lu Jingming, they lacked experience in god-level battles. Against veteran powerhouses like Tang Hao and Ah Yin, once their opponents' powers were forcibly raised to the same or even higher level, their weaknesses were immediately exposed. They possessed powerful divine power and artifacts, but could not wield their power to the extreme as their opponents did.
Seeing Wang Qiu'er struck hard by the hammer, Zhang Lexuan was also trapped and endangered by the endless vines. The battle seemed to have stabilized in favor of Tang Hao's side.
But at this moment—
Upon this battlefield seething with violent energy, a mysterious, beautiful, and unearthly song suddenly and softly echoed with no warning. The song had no lyrics, only a sweet and pleasant melody. Unlike Ning Rongrong's nine-colored divine light, which had a strong amplifying effect, this song quietly brushed over everyone's hearts like a gentle spring breeze and warm sunlight.
The instant the song echoed, both Zhang Lexuan, struggling with the vines, and Wang Qiu'er, catching her breath after stabilizing herself, were shocked simultaneously. They felt the divine power that had become somewhat frenzied and uncontrollable due to the intense battle suddenly become harmonious, orderly, and gentle. It was as if they had found the tuning fork to their powers. The spasms and waste of energy from lack of experience were forcibly corrected by an invisible force.
Wang Qiu'er felt her connection to the Golden Dragon Spear clearer than ever, hearing even the joy from the spirit within her weapon. Zhang Lexuan also felt her mastery over the power of moonlight step up a level, the divine patterns on Artemis' bow shining even brighter. This was the resonance of synchronicity. This ability did not directly increase their strength, but allowed them to unleash their existing power at 120% or even 200% efficiency.
A figure quietly appeared beside Lu Jingming, who had been watching the battle leisurely all this time. She wore a white dress with a long skirt, her long silver-purple hair drifting like a galaxy, her face adorned with a sacred and gentle smile reminiscent of a robin. She did not look at the battlefield, but gazed intently at Lu Jingming while singing softly, as if everything in this world was just a backdrop for her to sing for her beloved. As the harmonious song of the robin grew stronger, Wang Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan's momentum soared to astonishing heights.
"Lunar Dominion: Silence and Light!"
Zhang Lexuan shouted, and the Artemis Bow in her hand was fully drawn. This time, the arrow was no longer moonlight, but a deep, pitch-black bolt of silence. There was no light on the arrow, only absolute silence that seemed to swallow all brightness. She loosed the arrow, and it silently melted into the void. In the next moment, a black crescent moon exploded in the middle of Ah Yin's sea of vines. A corona of dead, silent blackness spread. Everywhere it passed, the extraordinarily tenacious Blue Silver Emperor vines, blessed by nine-colored divine light, instantly lost all vitality and quietly turned to ash, scattered across the sky like withered wood after millions of years of weathering. In Ah Yin's domain, a vast empty space suddenly appeared where the arrow struck.
On the other side, under the robin's song, Wang Qiu'er also entered the mysterious domain of man and spear as one. She looked calmly and intently at Tang Hao, who was once again bringing down the Clear Sky Hammer.
"I have crossed the waves of recklessness, the torrents of rage," she whispered. The Golden Dragon Spear in her hand no longer clashed violently, but moved in an incomparably mysterious arc.
"The vast sea returns to calm flow."
The spear tip accurately pressed against a seemingly insignificant node on the side of the Clear Sky Hammer, at an unbelievable angle. Tang Hao's terrifying power was enough to shatter mountains, but the moment it touched the spear tip, it was as if a flood had found an outlet, and he instinctively followed the direction guided by the spear into an empty space to the side.
Bang—!!!
Another deep crater was gouged into the earth. The excessive force instantly threw Tang Hao off balance. His divine power became unstable, and his body wavered, revealing a huge vulnerability. Seizing this chance, Wang Qiu'er shot forward like a dragon, her spear piercing through Tang Hao's shoulder blade, Sea God's violent divine power exploding and pinning him to the ground. The situation, once again, and finally, reversed. This time, it collapsed and suppressed without any suspense.
"How is this possible?! How can her support abilities surpass Rongrong's?!"
Oscar, who had been watching from afar, was so shocked his eyes almost popped out. He could not comprehend it. Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was recognized as the ceiling of support in the divine realm, its amplification effect unparalleled and direct. But the song from the woman singing on the opposing side was unprecedented and invisible. This was not just superimposing strength, but a higher-dimensional optimization and adjustment of the very concept of battle itself.
Even Ning Rongrong herself turned pale as the robin's song echoed. She felt an unprecedented force suppressing her. The nine-colored divine power she had infused into Tang Hao and Ah Yin now seemed to be forcibly interfered with by an invisible force, becoming difficult to operate, no longer harmonious. The connection between her and those she supported also began to show signs of instability. Under the influence of the opponent's song, her support abilities were greatly weakened. Ning Rongrong even had a ridiculously realistic intuition—if the singing girl on the other side was even a little stronger, or her song even more focused, then the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda she was so proud of might instantly lose all support abilities and be unable to amplify anyone. The opponent was not only supporting Zhang Lexuan and Wang Qiu'er, but also had spare energy to disrupt and suppress the enemy's support.
This… this was no longer a matter of support strength. It was a devastating dimensional blow.
With the blessing of the robin's natural song and the power of harmony, the entire battlefield was fundamentally overturned. Wang Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan, two newly ascended gods, seemed to achieve unprecedented resonance with the artifacts in their hands and the divine laws they wielded. Every divine force was perfectly attuned, every attack angle precise, every power output exceeding its limits. The initial flaws and gaps caused by their lack of battle experience were completely smoothed over by Robin's tuning.
"How can this be… My amplification… being suppressed?"
From afar, Ning Rongrong's face was as pale as paper. She could clearly feel the invisible, higher-dimensional harmonious force interfering with the nine-colored divine power between herself, Tang Hao, and Ah Yin. That power was not forcibly severing her connection, but gently persuading the divine power she amplified to become less obedient.
Under these circumstances, Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who had previously been forcibly raised to the threshold of First-Class God, began to lose strength.
"Uncle Hao, Auntie Yin…"
Ning Rongrong anxiously tried to stabilize her support, but her voice, which usually rang out like a spring breeze and rain, was now almost ineffective.
On the battlefield, Wang Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan seized the opportunity to bring down their drowning opponents. The Golden Dragon Spear in Wang Qiu'er's hand flashed like golden lightning, instantly piercing through all of Tang Hao's defenses and striking his chest with fierce force.
Swish—!
Tang Hao was struck by lightning, the divine shield that had protected his chest shattered like paper, his sternum, harder than divine iron, cracking with a grating sound. His body was blasted away like a cannonball, gouging a deep ravine hundreds of meters long, divine blood spraying wildly, his breath turning ragged in an instant.
Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan had completely seized control of her battle. She hovered over ice and snow, and each time she drew Artemis' bow, several arrows imbued with the power of the Silent Moon shot forth. The arrows traced beautiful arcs through the air, sealing off all escape routes for Ah Yin. Ah Yin was forced to reduce her Blue Silver Emperor vines, forming a shrinking shield around herself. But as the power of moonlight, capable of freezing souls and extinguishing vitality, eroded her defenses, Ah Yin's vines withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, with one last strike, a pitch-black arrow that seemed to swallow all light silently pierced through Ah Yin's last defense, precisely striking her shoulder blade. The cold, silent divine power exploded, half of Ah Yin's body instantly frozen by moonlight, her divine power completely halted, and she fell weakly from the sky—defeated.
With Robin's miraculous support, the two veteran powerhouses, Tang Hao and Ah Yin—who had been forcibly raised to the threshold of First-Class God—were simply and thoroughly defeated.
As she looked upon Tang Hao and Ah Yin lying on the ground, Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with unease.
