Chapter 253: Divine Power
Bibi Dong's heart shattered.
She didn't expect the gap between the Rakshasa Domain and Tang Hao's Killing God Domain to be so vast.
As a result, Tang Hao seized the opportunity and quickly gained the upper hand.
Amid the roar, Bibi Dong's body was blasted out like a cannonball.
For the first time, she felt that Tang Hao was actually a threat to her life, and her haughty attitude vanished completely.
At this moment, Tang Xiao's attacks changed again.
After Tang Hao discovered the flaw in Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Domain, he had Tang Xiao and the Second Elder cooperate, mainly relying on Tang Xiao.
The Second Elder's strength could only serve to harass and restrain.
Tang Xiao in this battle was like a bystander, seemingly posing no threat to Bibi Dong.
But as the Sect Leader of Haotian Sect, Tang Xiao's strength was once comparable to Tang Hao during his early Mainland training.
There was no way his strength was weak.
Now that Bibi Dong fell behind, Tang Xiao was ready to show his strength.
"Martial Soul Clone!"
"Heaven Piercing Strike!"
Tang Xiao's sixth and ninth soul rings lit up.
The huge Haotian Hammer in his hand instantly multiplied into two.
Clone skills were common in Haotian Sect, usually appearing at the sixth or eighth soul skill stage.
Instantly duplicating a Haotian Hammer with full strength, crushing the opponent with dual hammers.
Tang Xiao was very adept; he used it now.
Next came his ninth soul skill, Heaven Piercing Strike.
Apart from the Great Su Mi Hammer, it was Haotian Sect's strongest attack.
The Great Su Mi Hammer was passed down to only one person each generation; this generation's heir was Tang Hao.
Tang Xiao, as the Sect Leader, had not trained the Great Su Mi Hammer.
If that hammer was a divine-level soul skill, it shouldn't be used at their stage without entering a weakened state.
Heaven Piercing Strike was Haotian Sect's true titled Douluo-level strongest soul skill.
And it had no aftereffects.
Tang Xiao's two Haotian Hammers suddenly emitted dense black light that soared skyward.
At the same time, the hammers in his hands vanished along with the black light.
Above Bibi Dong, the black light reappeared, condensing into energetic Haotian Hammers.
Two Haotian Hammers struck down one after the other.
Bibi Dong was fiercely battling Tang Hao and didn't expect Tang Xiao to have such reserves.
She immediately realized she had underestimated Tang Xiao.
She flapped her wings to dodge!
But she found Tang Xiao's skill had a locking feature.
It moved along with him.
This was Heaven Piercing Strike's strength—locking the target's energy to prevent dodging; the only choice was to endure the blow.
Anger flashed across Bibi Dong's face.
She formed a sickle-swinging gesture with her hands; purple light flowed over her body.
All the energy concentrated on her hands.
Finally, it turned into two pure purple beams shooting upwards.
At the release of this purple light, Bibi Dong's entire body wobbled unsteadily.
Her face turned pale as paper; this skill consumed some unknown power.
Her expression bore resentment and unwillingness as she glared furiously at Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
This time, her loss was heavy.
The purple light resembled her original soul power but was actually very different. Otherwise, she would not look so resentful.
The moment the purple light appeared, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao sensed something different.
This force seemed to surpass soul power.
It made their hearts race.
But the arrow was already on the string; neither hesitated.
Besides them, the nearby Second Elder also unleashed Heaven Piercing Strike.
Suddenly, four Haotian Hammers hammered down on the purple light above Bibi Dong's body.
This purple light, on close inspection, showed golden patterns.
Gold at the Titular Douluo peak signified the evolution toward demigod status.
The clash of purple-gold light with Haotian Hammers seemed silent yet shook heaven and earth.
Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, the Second Elder, and Bibi Dong all lost their hearing.
The collision sound exceeded their auditory limits.
The three rushed to use Haotian Body Guard, defending with their martial souls.
Bibi Dong summoned all poisonous spiders around her to resist the battle's backlash.
But she didn't worry about the four falling Haotian Hammers.
She even felt sorrow and unwillingness.
She had used up the precious divine power within her.
This was her strongest trump card.
Having passed four divine tests, her body was transitioning to half-god form, and her energy was becoming divine, her soul bones tinged with gold.
Soul skills performed with this golden soul power were the strongest.
But divine power was hard won, the key to future divine tests.
She wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.
As a titled Douluo, cultivating divine power was difficult; divine tests were the rewards that granted some.
But Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's attacks forced her to use it.
Bibi Dong hated Tang Hao immensely.
After the silent shock came a deafening impact wave.
The world seemed on the verge of destruction.
The poisonous spiders around Bibi Dong exploded continuously, spraying inky green poison and blood.
Her body trembled violently, almost uncontrollable in the shockwave.
Blood spewed from her mouth recklessly.
This final desperate strike caused her severe injuries.
Finally, aided by the shockwave, the wings behind her regained control.
They fluttered lightly.
Bibi Dong said no harsh words and just steadily flew backwards.
Meanwhile, the three on the other side suffered as well.
Most severely wounded was Tang Hao, his nine soul rings all detonated, his power bursting forth but taking the brunt of Bibi Dong's attacks. His injuries nearly matched the state before the Crystal Blood Dragon Herb healing.
His face was bleak, with a death wish.
These injuries would never fully heal.
Tang Xiao and the Second Elder fared slightly better but were pained in their hearts. Three elders had died, and Tang Hao was heavily wounded again.
Their losses surpassed when Haotian Sect went into hiding over ten years ago.
Those were titled Douluos—few on the continent.
Haotian Sect lost one at once.
The battle reached a level far beyond both sides' expectations.
Suddenly, all of them turned toward the path of slaughter.
From the City of Slaughter emerged a tall figure clad in a blood-red robe, wrapped in a crimson cloak.
The King of Slaughter appeared.
At this moment, his and Dugu Feng's objectives were achieved. The King of Slaughter came to make his presence known.
He immediately recognized the divine power Bibi Dong had last used; Tang Chen's stamina also contained divine power.
The combination of divine power and the Shura Demon Sword prevented him from dealing with Tang Chen.
Nor could he sever the killing aura the Shura Demon Sword drew from the City of Slaughter protecting Tang Chen.
The generation of divine power was no easy feat. Since Bibi Dong had used it, her losses were considerable.
