Dugu Bo's face changed drastically, and nine soul rings appeared around him, with the fifth black soul ring flashing with a black light.
His body was covered by the green python's body, and with a deafening roar, the hammer that was thrown landed on the green python's body, sending Dugu Bo sliding ten meters across the ground.
Dugu Bo's expression was extremely grave. His Fifth Soul Skill, the Snake Python Celestial Shield, could hardly withstand the incoming hammer.
The hammer flew back, and a figure stepped out.
Dugu Bo looked forward. The other party was draped in a cloak, making it impossible to see his appearance and age. But Dugu Bo recognized the hammer; it was the Vast Heaven Hammer!
The Vast Heaven Sect was not something he could provoke.
Dugu Bo asked solemnly, "May I know which member of the Vast Heaven Sect you are? Why have you suddenly attacked me?"
The person did not respond, stepping forward step by step. Dugu Bo's face initially showed anger, but what happened next made his expression change drastically! His eyes were filled with dread!
As the man stepped forward, soul rings descended from above his head, encircling him.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Nine soul rings appeared, and the enormous pressure made his body feel incredibly heavy.
Dugu Bo was extremely astonished. Such terrifying pressure — for a Titled Douluo to completely oppress another with pressure was almost unheard of among Titled Douluos.
Dugu Bo's gaze, filled with shock, was fixed on the man's ninth soul ring, which turned out to be red!
A red soul ring symbolizes supreme authority, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring obtainable only from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
In the Soul Master Realm, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring is revered as the greatest treasure. A Titled Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring holds strength far beyond others of the same rank and is certain to possess a Soul Bone because the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast invariably produces a Soul Bone.
The gap between a Ten-Thousand-Year and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is immense, and even at ninety thousand years, it remains so. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is akin to a Titled Douluo, having truly reached a state of spiritual enlightenment, just a step away from transcending the mortal plane.
Throughout the continent, there are no more than twenty Titled Douluos, but those with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring are exceedingly rare.
Dugu Bo's expression was extremely grave, as though he already knew who the opponent was, and he was terrified!
Dugu Bo spoke heavily, "Are you the Vast Heaven Douluo, Tang Hao?"
Tang Hao did not respond, coldly saying, "If you can withstand five minutes under me, you win."
With that, Tang Hao attacked directly. This time, unlike his encounter with Zhao Wuji, he didn't use his bare hands but wielded the Vast Heaven Hammer, unleashing his soul rings!
Dugu Bo was wary, speaking heavily, "To my knowledge, I have never offended the Vast Heaven Sect, nor have I wronged you."
There was no response, as Tang Hao charged straight at him.
Dugu Bo's face turned exceedingly ugly; he had no choice but to go all out, knowing it would be worse if he didn't fight.
Dugu Bo immediately used his Seventh Soul Skill, the True Form of the Emerald-Scaled Snake Emperor.
Dugu Bo's slender and tall body kept expanding in green light, soaring upward.
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo transformed into a massive emerald green python, its body covered in lattice-like green scales that looked like emeralds embedded on its surface. The snake's body was at least thirty meters long, as thick as a water barrel, with most of its body standing upright, towering over the surrounding giant trees.
The enormous inverted triangular snakehead, with its emerald green lattice-like eyes, was exceedingly cold. As it flickered its tongue, thick green poisonous mist swept out.
Tang Hao charged forward, directly swinging a hammer.
The Vast Heaven Hammer struck out, instantly clearing the poisonous mist ahead, landing directly on Dugu Bo's snake body.
Dugu Bo saw that Tang Hao hadn't used any soul techniques and was only employing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, feeling a bit relieved. In that case, even if hit by a hammer, there wouldn't be...
Suddenly, Dugu Bo's snake eyes filled with horror; he felt immense pain throughout his massive snake body as violent and overbearing power rampaged within.
Boom!!
With a deafening explosion, the transformed snake Dugu Bo was sent flying like a cannonball, blasted away by Tang Hao's hammer without even using soul techniques!
Dugu Bo flew out directly one hundred meters, his huge snake body mowing down large tracts of giant trees along the way.
Tang Hao charged up, and the battle broke out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
The deafening booms continued, each sound bringing with it terrifying destruction. The ground was upheaved into a hundred-meter height, with large tracts of surrounding giant trees instantly blown away, reduced to wood chips.
With each explosion came a shrill screech.
At this time, Ye Yu was leaning against a distant tree observing the battle. Even a thousand meters away, he could see clearly. Watching Dugu Bo getting completely thrashed by Tang Hao, Ye Yu felt a wave of satisfaction.
In less than four minutes, Dugu Bo's True Martial Soul was dispersed, reverting to his original form, his entire body covered in injuries, with his head, face, and clothes smeared with blood.
Dugu Bo was utterly horrified; Tang Hao's strength far exceeded his imagination.
Dugu Bo spoke heavily, "Indeed, to be the youngest Titled Douluo, your strength is terrifying, no wonder you were able to heavily injure three ninety-five rank Titled Douluos from the Martial Soul Hall single-handedly, with one dead, one severely injured, and another incurable."
Dubu Bo, unwilling, said, "I'm not your opponent, but even if I die, I want to understand why you're attacking me? How have I offended you?"
"Hmph!" Tang Hao coldly snorted, causing Dugu Bo's body to tremble slightly, and he said deeply, "A mere Poison Douluo, dare to harm my son."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face shifted, son?
"You mean..."
Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly, thinking of Tang San...
His granddaughter had informed him that among the Shrek Seven Monsters, there was someone special, not just immune to her poison but able to neutralize it, named Tang San.
Dugu Bo's expression became very grave, not expecting Tang San to be Tang Hao's son.
He was filled with regret. If he had known, he wouldn't have dared to act this way even with a hundred times the courage.
Dugu Bo spoke heavily, "That I did not know... Additionally, I didn't intend to kill him; I only wanted to find out how he neutralized my granddaughter's Emerald-Scaled Purple Poison. Otherwise, I would not have just made him faint and brought him here."
Tang Hao said indifferently, "You should be thankful you acted that way. Had you harbored murderous intent, you would already be a corpse now."
Dugu Bo shivered, finding it not an exaggeration at all. His full strength wasn't a match for Tang Hao, and Tang Hao hadn't even used the Seventh Soul Skill, the True Body of Vast Heaven. Once he did, the Vast Heaven Hammer would reveal its truly terrifying power.
"Xiao Yu, I'll leave it to you."
Tang Hao retracted his hammer, the soul rings vanishing from his body.
Dugu Bo was startled. Hearing footsteps, he looked over, his face changing slightly.
"It's you..."
Only to see Ye Yu walking over with a cold smile, his four soul rings pulsating, especially the Fourth Soul Ring, which shone with a dense black light.
"Dugu Bo, today, how about tasting my poison?"
Ye Yu's Fourth Soul Ring glowed, and Dugu Bo was slightly surprised. Could the young person in front of him also use poison?
He wasn't worried at all. Since Tang Hao had no intention of fighting, he relaxed. Although the youngster before him was a demon, he was only at the Soul Sect level. How could he possibly be poisoned by a Soul Sect, especially when his own title was Poison?
Dugu Bo said, "As Poison Douluo, no one has yet harmed me with poison. Only the Nine-Sectioned Jade and the Death Spider Emperor's poison surpass the poison of the Emerald-Scaled Snake Emperor; other poisonous soul beasts can't harm me."
Dugu Bo wore a calm face, though Ye Yu coldly laughed, delivering a sentence that unsettled him.
"My Fourth Soul Ring comes from a Sixty Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and coincidentally, that soul beast is a Nine-Sectioned Jade."
Dugu Bo: "!!!!!!"
