Tang Hao watched the giant icy palm fall from the sky. It looked strong enough to freeze the very air itself. Behind it, a blue ice sword followed closely. The sword seemed like it could seal a thousand miles in deep ice. Tang Hao's face finally changed.
He had traveled the continent for decades. He had fought in many life and death battles. Because of this, his sense of danger was very sharp. He felt a cold energy from the palm and the sword. It was a pure, bone chilling cold that was strong enough to threaten his life. At this critical moment of life and death, Tang Hao did not hold back at all.
He let out a loud roar. It sounded like a sound from ancient times. His violent killing intent mixed with his huge spirit power. It erupted from his body like a volcano. He shouted that he was opening his Slaughter God Domain.
A terrifying killing intent spread out from him. it was as thick as blood and very cold. Red light filled the area around him. Inside this domain, many sad souls seemed to cry out. This was the special Slaughter God Domain he got from Slaughter City.
Next, the black seventh spirit ring at his feet started to glow. The air behind him twisted. A huge phantom appeared. It looked just like Tang Hao but it was as big as a mountain. It was covered in red light. In its hand, it held a massive Clear Sky Hammer.
The hammer had red patterns on it. This was his Tool Spirit Avatar. After using his Martial Soul True Body, Tang Hao's power reached its peak. He was a rank ninety six attack system Titled Douluo. His pressure felt like a physical tsunami. It was strong enough to stand against the Ultimate Ice of the Snow Empress.
Tang Hao shouted that he would see this through to the end. His eyes were full of a crazy light. He was ready for a fight to the death. The muscles in his arms grew very large. He put all his spirit power and killing intent into one strike.
He roared the name of his technique, the Chaotic Cape. The huge Clear Sky Hammer moved with enough force to crush stars. It did not try to hide or dodge. Instead, it slammed directly into the giant ice palm and the sharp ice sword above him.
In the next second, the hammer, the palm, and the sword hit each other. They were three different forces with enough power to destroy the world. They collided right above the hall of the Defense Clan. For a moment, it felt like time stopped moving. Then, a huge rumble echoed through the air.
The hammer avatar and the ice palm hit without any tricks. It was just pure strength. There was a giant explosion that could hurt a person's ears. A shockwave spread out from the center. It was a mix of cold ice, hammer force, and destructive energy. This ripple of power was stronger than anyone could imagine.
The sturdy meeting hall of the Defense Clan was the first thing hit by the blast. The walls and roof broke apart like they were made of paper. The thick beams snapped and the roof tiles turned into dust. In just a few breaths, the building collapsed into ruins.
Tai Tan and Bai He were very experienced. Their faces changed when they saw the explosion. They did not have time to think about their old grudges. They only wanted to save their brothers.
Tai Tan jumped forward. He grabbed Niu Gao, who was badly hurt and could not move. He tucked him under his arm. Bai He flashed over to Yang Wudi. He did not care if Yang Wudi resisted. He just put him on his back.
The two men looked at each other and then ran away as fast as they could. They moved like arrows leaving a bow. They headed for the door to escape the shockwave. Pieces of wood and stone flew past them, but they kept moving.
Tang San also reacted very fast. When the building started to fall, he used his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. He moved like a shadow. He dodged the falling beams and the flying rocks. He was very agile as he retreated out of the hall. Meanwhile, Tang Hao was at the center of the explosion. He could not worry about anyone else. His first hammer strike had blocked the Snow Empress's Emperor Palm.
He had shattered the ice into tiny crystals. However, the Snow Empress was not finished yet. Her Emperor Sword followed right behind the palm. it was silent and very fast. It moved toward him like it was hunting him. Before the sword even hit, the intent of the sword made Tang Hao feel a deep chill. It felt like it could freeze time itself.
Tang Hao gasped for air. He was shocked. He wondered what kind of spirit ability this was. He was breathing very hard now. He did not have time to rest. He forced his spirit power to move again. He swung the Clear Sky Hammer. The light on the hammer was now dim. He struck at the blue ice sword light.
There was a loud metallic sound. It was a sharp vibration that felt like it went through his soul. When the hammer and the sword touched, Tang Hao felt a terrifying force. It was a mix of Ultimate Ice and sharp energy. It surged into his body through the handle of the hammer.
Tang Hao coughed up blood. His arms shook and went numb. His palms split open, and blood covered the hammer. He felt like his chest had been hit by a heavy blow. He could not stop himself from spitting out more blood.
The force pushed him back. He staggered through the ruins, leaving deep footprints in the ground. His power and aura started to fade away. The Snow Empress had used two attacks. One palm stopped him, and one sword broke his defense. Even a man as strong as Tang Hao was badly hurt because he had to react so quickly.
Tang Chen looked at Tang Hao in the ruins. Tang Hao was leaning on his hammer and bleeding. Tang Chen smiled coldly. He told Tang Hao that it seemed the Clear Sky Douluo was not that impressive. Tang Hao looked up. His eyes were red with anger.
He wanted to say something, but Tang Chen raised his right hand. Tang Chen said the warm up was over. His voice was cold, like a judge passing a sentence. He told Tang Hao that he would now show him the true power of his second spirit.
As Tang Chen spoke, the two orange spirit rings at the feet of the Snow Empress phantom began to shine. Tang Hao, Tai Tan, Bai He, and Tang San watched in surprise. The two orange rings began to move and rotate. They merged together perfectly.
Soon, a single orange gold spirit ring appeared. It was more brilliant than the others. Its light was deep and very powerful. It floated beneath the feet of the Snow Empress.
Even though it was just one ring, its energy was much higher than before. But that was not all. The space behind the Snow Empress rippled again. A green, sharp, and powerful scorpion phantom appeared. This was the Ice Empress.
Tang Hao felt the pressure rising. He gripped his hammer tighter, but his hands were still shaking from the cold. He looked at the orange gold ring and realized this was something he had never seen before.
The power coming from Tang Chen was no longer just a rank ninety six level. It felt like something much higher, something that defied the logic of the spirit master world.
Tang San watched from a distance, his heart racing. He had always seen his father as invincible, but now, Tang Hao looked small compared to the phantoms behind Tang Chen. The ruins of the Defense Clan were silent except for the sound of the wind and the crackling of the ice.
The battle was far from over, and the true power of the Ultimate Ice was just beginning to show itself. The survivors could only watch as the air grew even colder, waiting for the next move from the mysterious Tang Chen.
