Yang Wudi, you are courting death.
Suddenly, the Seventh Elder roared. A tiny but clear crack appeared on the face of his Clear Sky Hammer. It felt like a red hot iron burning his pride. How could a Spirit Douluo manage to damage his Martial Soul? This was no longer about winning or losing. It was an absolute disgrace to the Clear Sky Sect.
In the next second, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. The sixth spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up.
Sixth Spirit Ability, Martial Soul Clone.
This was not a simple clone. Under the power of his fire attribute, the Martial Soul split into two. It created two Clear Sky Hammers that looked exactly like the original. Both hammers burned with fierce flames. Facing this top tier skill for a Tool Martial Soul, Yang Wudi looked very serious.
A Martial Soul Clone usually only appears for Tool Martial Soul Masters. When using this skill, a master can call out another identical Tool Martial Soul to attack. The most terrifying part is that this skill can stack with other abilities. This means that for a short time, the attack power of the Tool Martial Soul Master doubles.
If a Martial Soul Clone comes from a ten year spirit ring, it only has thirty percent of the original power. A hundred year ring gives fifty percent, and a thousand year ring gives seventy percent. Only a ten thousand year spirit ring can give a full one hundred percent of the original power. If it is a hundred thousand year spirit ring, both hammers can reach two hundred percent of the original power.
The Clear Sky Hammer in the Seventh Elder's hand kept blocking the sharp light of Yang Wudi's spear. The other hammer looked like a sleeping fire dragon. It carried a heavy and hot spirit power. It moved in a bright red circle and smashed down toward Yang Wudi. Yang Wudi's body was currently slow and weak because he had just used his Fifth Spirit Ability.
This attack came at the perfect time. It was very strong and covered a wide area. It aimed right at the moment when Yang Wudi had used up his old strength and had not gathered new strength yet. The Seventh Elder wanted to kill him with this single strike.
Hmph.
Seeing this, Yang Wudi made a low sound. The fierce look in his eyes did not fade at all. He knew very well that it was too late to run away. When you meet an enemy on a narrow path, you can only fight your way through. He quickly controlled the sharp pain in his meridians. The pain came because he had drawn out too much spirit power too fast. He pulled back the Soul Breaking Spear, turned it sideways, and let his dark spirit power rush out wildly.
Eighth Spirit Ability, Annihilate.
He roared loudly. His voice sounded rough, like someone fighting for his life against death. The Soul Breaking Spear made a shaking sound like a sad cry. The air around the spear became dark for a moment. Right after that, a scary and invisible force appeared. It could make everything quiet and break apart spirit power. This force spread out fast with Yang Wudi at the center.
The burning Clear Sky Hammer Clone was hitting toward him and took the full force of this power. The hot flames on the hammer met this aura of destruction. They went out immediately as if pressed by a huge invisible hand. The bright light turned dim very fast. The heavy spirit power inside the hammer also seemed to meet its worst enemy. The force of the strike became much weaker.
What?
The Seventh Elder was shocked again. He did not expect Yang Wudi's Eighth Spirit Ability to be so strange and hard to handle. It did not just have extreme attack power, but it could also break down the damage of an opponent. After meeting so many problems, his favorite skill was stopped by this strange power. The Seventh Elder lost his mind to pure anger.
Good, good, good. To force me to this point, you can be proud when you go to hell, Yang Wudi.
The Seventh Elder smiled coldly. He did not hold back anymore. The seventh spirit ring on his body started to glow.
Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body.
In the air, the Seventh Elder's body merged with the two burning Clear Sky Hammers. With a flash of bright light, a huge hammer appeared. It was ten zhang tall and looked like it was made of hot liquid lava. Dark red flame patterns moved across its surface.
The head of the hammer was as big as a mountain. Just standing there made the temperature for hundreds of meters rise fast. The air began to twist, and the broken stones on the ground turned red and soft.
The Martial Soul True Body of a Titled Douluo was much stronger than that of a Spirit Douluo. The massive waves of spirit power felt like a deep ocean. It made it hard for the people watching to breathe. They had to step back again and again.
But this was not the end. Above that giant burning hammer that seemed ready to crush the sky, a scary black spirit ring rose slowly. Even though its color was not the darkest black, the terrifying power it showed made everyone change their expressions.
Ninth Spirit Skill, Burn the Eight Wildernesses.
The huge flaming hammer shook with a loud sound. Its head pointed up at the sky. Countless streams of hot red lava poured out like an upside down volcano. They did not spread out across the area. Instead, they gathered in the air to form a huge river of lava.
It was over ten meters wide and full of pure destructive energy. Then, like a spear of divine punishment, it crashed down toward Yang Wudi with burning heat. This attack was much stronger than any skill before. It was focused on one spot and locked onto Yang Wudi completely. He had no place to hide and had to face it directly.
Yang Wudi looked at the Seventh Elder's Martial Soul True Body and the Ninth Spirit Skill. He saw the hot lava falling like a waterfall ready to burn everything. Yet, there was no fear in his eyes. He took a deep breath. The remaining spirit power around his body began to move wildly. All eight spirit rings on his body lit up at the same time.
Yellow, purple, and black lights turned quickly. They hit each other and pressed together. Finally, they changed into a violent dark golden beam of light. This light completely covered him and his Soul Breaking Spear.
This was spirit ring fusion. It gathered all the power of his spirit rings into a single point. There was no special name for this move and no time spent charging energy. The moment the dark golden light reached its highest point, Yang Wudi merged with his spear. He became a sharp piece of dark golden light that could pierce the sky and earth. With a firm and direct stance, he thrust his spear up against the red lava waterfall.
This spear strike was so fast that people could not even see it clearly. This strike held all the power of his life, the deep anger of his clan, and his unbreakable will to break everything. The moment he threw the spear, the world seemed to lose its color. Only that dark golden light remained. Even the destructive lava waterfall looked dim for a moment against this extreme sharpness.
What?
The Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect watched this scene. His eyes became small and he cried out, "He actually dared to fuse all his spirit rings into one strike? This is a suicidal tactic!"
Another Elder looked very pale and said quickly, "This is bad. The Ninth Spirit Skill of Old Seven is strong, but the piercing power of Yang Wudi's final strike is too high. I am afraid he cannot stop it. If that spear hits him..."
A cold light showed in the Second Elder's eyes. He used his spirit power to send his voice straight to the other Elders.
Prepare to act. The bet does not matter anymore. We cannot let Old Seven get hurt. If we must, just kill Yang Wudi directly.
Hearing this, the other Elders of the Clear Sky Sect looked fierce. Their spirit power stayed hidden but ready. They focused completely on the battlefield. If the Seventh Elder showed any sign of losing, they would attack hard right away. They would say they were saving a friend, but they really wanted to kill Yang Wudi to keep him quiet.
On the other side, Niu Gao saw Yang Wudi's dangerous spirit ring fusion strike. He felt very shocked and called out in a hurry, "Poison Douluo! The old goat is risking his whole life. If he loses..."
Dugu Bo's green eyes shrank into thin lines. He looked closely at that dark golden spear light. Then he looked at the Clear Sky Sect Elders who were getting ready to move across from them. He made a cold sound with his throat. His voice was completely freezing.
Lost? So what if he loses? Yang Wudi belongs to Spirit Hall now. Tang Chen brought him in himself. Do you think he will just die to keep a bet? If those old men from the Clear Sky Sect try to use this to force the old goat to his death, or if they try to join the fight themselves, they will see. Tang Xiao is already mostly broken. As for these remaining Elders, they are not enough. It would not be impossible for me to use a few years of my power to poison them all to death here today.
Niu Gao took a sharp breath after hearing those words. But he nodded his head heavily right after. His Armored Giant Rhino Martial Soul appeared. He stood right beside Dugu Bo. He was clearly ready for the worst result. At this moment, both sides had their own hidden plans.
Meanwhile, high above the Sunset Forest, the large green woods stretched out as far as the eye could see. It was just a simple sea of green. In the blue sky, several golden lines of light flashed past suddenly. The heavy wind from their speed pushed a shallow line into the trees below. A moment later, the gentle wind covered the line with leaves again.
Shortly after those figures flew past, another blue line of light followed closely behind them.
This is bad, Second Brother. That kid has followed us again.
Looking back at Tang Chen who was catching up so quickly, Thousand Jun Douluo and the others felt a little worried in their hearts.
