The "Tang San" in the simulation seemed to realize something. He let out a heart-wrenching, utterly despairing roar, trying to break free, but he was gently yet resolutely restrained by that red light.
In the distance, Tang Hao's angry roar and Fu Shiyan's startled shout rang out simultaneously: "Xiao Wu!! Stop!!" Even the mysterious powerhouse let out a sigh of deep lament.
The red light grew brighter and brighter, and Xiao Wu's figure gradually became illusory and transparent within the radiance.
She turned her head to cast one last look at the grief-stricken "Tang San." A beautiful yet tragic, yet incomparably satisfied smile appeared on her face. Her lips moved slightly: "Live on well--"
The red light suddenly contracted, turning into a torrent that poured entirely into "Tang San's" body!
Xiao Wu's figure, like drifting sand in the wind, completely dissipated into the air.
In her place, only a single, lifeless pinkish-white Soft-Boned Rabbit remained, quietly curled up on the ground.
Soul Beast Sacrifice! The ultimate sacrifice of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Indescribable grief and power erupted from "Tang San's" body at the same time!
His soul power rank climbed frantically, instantly breaking through his bottleneck and reaching rank seventy-four!
And beneath his feet, at the position of his seventh soul ring, a brand-new, blood-red hundred-thousand-year soul ring--radiating a tragic sorrow that shared the same source as Xiao Wu's aura--suddenly lit up!
However, upon obtaining this power that was enough to drive any soul master crazy, there was not a trace of joy on "Tang San's" face. There was only a deathly, ash-white stillness, his eyes so hollow it was as if he had lost his very soul.
The immense grief was like a black hole, devouring all of his emotions.
The onlookers' Tang San was also deeply shaken by this sudden, tragic sacrifice and the despairing, lifeless expression of his simulated self. A cold sense of desolation penetrated the barrier of the simulation, soaking into his mind.
Even though he and Xiao Wu had not known each other for long in reality at this moment, and their feelings were far from being deeply etched into his bones, that decisiveness to sacrifice oneself for a loved one without hesitation, and the heart-wrenching pain endured by the living, still made him feel a suffocating discomfort.
Right at this moment, within the depths of the hollow eyes of the deathly still "Tang San," a speck of crimson light suddenly ignited. Following that, like a wildfire spreading across a prairie, it rapidly transformed into a sky-blotting killing intent!
"Ahhhhh--!!"
"Spirit Hall!!!!"
Infused with heavy killing intent yet filled with despair, a tragic voice sounded from Tang San's mouth.
"Deathgod Domain, open!"
A bone-chilling, white killing intent swept out like something tangible, causing frost to condense on the ground.
"Blue Silver Domain, open!"
A blue halo expanded with him as the center. The Blue Silver Grass within range grew frantically, feeding back a boundless vitality.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Blue Silver Avatar!!"
His body seemed to fuse together with the phantom of the Blue Silver Emperor behind him. His aura surged once more, infinitely approaching the Title Douluo level!
"Blue Silver Profound Technique: Forest of a Thousand Slaughters!!!"
This was an ultimate self-created soul skill taught to him by Fu Shiyan!
With "Tang San" as the center, the earth within a radius of thirty miles let out an overburdened groan and vibrated violently!
Countless giant wooden Blue Silver hands, each over several meters in diameter, entirely deep blue with brilliant golden patterns, crashed through the soil!
Blotting out the sky and hiding the sun, every single giant hand contained terrifying strength and resilience!
But that wasn't all!
The "Tang San" who had fallen into a frenzy and ultimate grief seemed to have entered a state where enlightenment and madness overlapped.
He made a hollow grasp with his left hand, and his fifth soul ring flashed--Blue Silver Overlord Spear!
However, this time, the blue-gold Overlord Spear was not projected directly. Instead, it produced a strange resonance and fusion with the countless giant hands of the forest that had broken out of the ground!
"Blue Silver Profound Technique: Myriad Forest Purgatory!"
From the palms or between the fingers of those countless giant Blue Silver hands, giant spears--each forty meters long, entirely blue-gold, and entwined with the frost of the Deathgod Domain and the life energy of the Blue Silver Domain--rapidly condensed and extended!
The tips of the spears pointed straight at the sky, their cold light biting!
In the next second, ten thousand spears fired together!
"Swish, swish, swish, swish--!!!!"
Countless forty-meter blue-gold spears were thrown out by those terrifying giant hands with an irresistible, overwhelming force!
Like a rain of spears brought down by the wrath of a god, it covered the entire area where all the enemies in front of "Tang San" were located!
An area-of-effect attack, indiscriminate bombardment!
Spirit Hall soul masters below the rank of Soul Saint were like paper before this destructive rain of spears, instantly pierced through and torn apart!
Contra powerhouses were terrified out of their wits, desperately dodging and defending. But the rain of spears was too dense, and its power was too terrifying. Furthermore, there were elusive giant Blue Silver hands interfering and capturing them from the side.
In just over ten breaths of time, those two Contras who had previously besieged "Tang San," along with a large number of nearby Spirit Hall elites, turned to dust within this "Myriad Forest Purgatory"!
Even the Snake Lance Douluo was given special attention by several giant hands and over a dozen long spears. He was left in a wretched state, facing danger at every turn, no longer having the strength to threaten "Tang San."
The grief, indignation, and power brought by Xiao Wu's sacrifice, combined with the profound technique taught by Fu Shiyan, allowed "Tang San" to erupt with a terrifying combat capability that surpassed his rank at this moment!
Almost by his own strength alone, he turned the tide of the local battle!
However, just when Fu Shiyan's faction seemed to regain the upper hand due to the shocking appearance of Fu Shiyan's twin martial souls and "Tang San's" outburst, and even saw a glimmer of hope for victory--another sudden change occurred!
Above the battlefield, an incomparably sacred golden light lit up without any warning!
This light was pure, grand, and carried an inviolable majesty.
A hundred-meter-tall phantom of an Angel God statue, with three pairs of huge light wings spread out behind its back, slowly emerged amidst the clouds!
Beneath the statue, an old man wearing a simple white robe, with hair and a beard that were completely white yet a face as ruddy as a baby's, walked out as if from the light, treading on empty space as he slowly descended.
He looked kind and gentle, but merely by standing there, a vast pressure that transcended all the powerhouses present--seeming to resonate with heaven and earth--enveloped the entire core area of the Star Dou Great Forest like the sky collapsing!
Rank ninety-nine Peak Douluo--Qian Daoliu!
The High Priest of Spirit Hall, invincible in the sky, the guardian of the Angel God, had descended in person!
The addition of a Peak Douluo instantly caused the scales to tilt once again! Tang Hao and Fu Shiyan exchanged a glance, both seeing the decisiveness in each other's eyes.
"Brother Ze, take Little San and go!"
Tang Hao roared furiously, blood-light bursting from his eyes. "Great Sumeru Hammer--Nine Rings Detonation!!"
Rumble!!!
The nine soul rings on the Clear Sky Hammer simultaneously burst with unprecedented radiance, and then exploded with a crash!
An unimaginable, violent energy poured into the hammer. Tang Hao transformed his body into the hammer, carrying a tragic aura of pressing forward with indomitable will. He actually managed to temporarily force back Qian Daoliu, and with one hammer strike, smashed the Golden Crocodile Douluo beside him so hard that he vomited blood and flew backward, heavily injured and on the verge of death!
"Heaven and Earth--Discoloration!"
At the exact same time, Fu Shiyan urged the power of his Abyssal Destruction Halberd martial soul to the absolute limit!
Five hundred-thousand-year soul rings flashed with red light one after another. Purple-black destructive lightning fused with a bizarre power that stripped away color and froze space, turning into a chaotic domain that instantly enveloped Bibi Dong and three other Title Douluo, heavily injuring their divine souls and physical bodies!
"Fu Ze! Take him and go! Quickly!!!"
Fu Shiyan shouted sternly, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the price of executing this move was immense.
The mysterious Halberd God powerhouse named Fu Ze clenched his teeth, pain and struggle flashing in his eyes. But under Fu Shiyan's unquestionable command, he finally stamped his foot fiercely. His figure was like lightning as he shot toward the "Tang San" who was still frantically attacking the Snake Lance Douluo.
"Young Master Tang! Forgive my offense!"
Fu Ze gave a low growl. Disregarding "Tang San's" desperate struggles and roars, he used his powerful soul power to forcibly restrain him. Tucking him under his arm, he turned into a streak of black light, fleeing for his life toward the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest!
