Chapter 344: Hidden Agendas!
"Yang Wudi... you are courting death!!!"
Suddenly, the Seventh Elder roared, the minute yet glaring crack on the face of his Clear Sky Hammer feeling like a red-hot branding iron searing his pride.
A Soul Douluo had actually managed to injure his Martial Soul?
This was no longer a matter of victory or defeat; it was an absolute disgrace to the Clear Sky Sect!
The next second, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the sixth Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up!
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Martial Soul Clone!"
This was not a simple Martial Soul Clone; rather, under the augmentation of fire attributes, the Martial Soul split into two, simultaneously condensing two Clear Sky Hammers that were almost identical to the original, burning with raging flames!
Facing this skill, which was practically top-tier for a Tool Spirit, Yang Wudi's expression could not help but become grave.
A Martial Soul Clone generally only appears on Tool Spirit Masters.
When casting such a skill, one can release another Tool Spirit identical to one's own to attack.
The most terrifying thing is that after this skill is cast, it can be stacked with other skills.
In other words, in a short period, that Tool Spirit Master's attack power will double.
If a Martial Soul Clone appears on a ten-year Soul Ring, it generally only possesses thirty percent of the original Martial Soul's attack power; a hundred-year Soul Ring is fifty percent, and a thousand-year Soul Ring is seventy percent.
Only when it appears on a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring does it reach one hundred percent.
And if it is a hundred thousand year spirit ring, once the Martial Soul Clone is cast, both identical Tool Spirits can possess two hundred percent of the power.
The Clear Sky Hammer in the Seventh Elder's hand continued to hold back the now slightly less sharp spear radiance of Yang Wudi.
The other hammer, like a dormant fire dragon, carried even more explosive and scorching Soul Power, carving out a crimson arc and smashing down with the force of splitting mountains and shattering the earth towards Yang Wudi's physical body, which was now sluggish and weak from casting his Fifth Spirit Skill!
This strike was cunning in its timing, fierce in its power, and wide in its coverage; it was clearly intended to take advantage of the perfect moment when Yang Wudi's old strength had just faded and his new strength had not yet arisen, aiming to kill him in one blow!
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Yang Wudi let out a muffled groan, the fierce look in his eyes undiminished.
He knew well that it was too late to retreat; when meeting on a narrow road, the only option was to break through!
Immediately, he forcibly suppressed the tearing pain in his Meridians caused by the excessive extraction of Soul Power.
He retracted the Soul Breaking Spear in his hand, turned the spear shaft horizontally, and pitch-black Soul Power surged madly.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Annihilate!"
He let out a low roar, his voice filled with the hoarseness of one fighting for life in the face of death.
"Hum—!"
The Soul Breaking Spear emitted a trembling sound like a mournful cry, and the space around the spear shaft seemed to dim for an instant.
Immediately after, a terrifying, intangible aura capable of making all things return to silence and scattering Soul Power violently spread out with Yang Wudi at its center!
The flaming Clear Sky Hammer Clone smashing toward his physical body bore the brunt of it!
The scorching flames burning on the hammer's body, the moment they touched this aura of annihilation, were extinguished as if by an invisible giant hand, and their light rapidly dimmed!
The violent Soul Power contained within the hammer body itself also seemed to have met its nemesis, and the force of its impact visibly decayed!
"What?!"
The Seventh Elder was shocked once again.
He had not expected Yang Wudi's Eighth Spirit Ability to be so strange and difficult to deal with; not only was its attack power extreme, but it could also disintegrate an opponent's damage?
Suffering setback after setback, especially after his pride-and-joy Martial Soul skill was countered by the opponent's strange will of annihilation, the Seventh Elder's reason was completely consumed by rage.
"Good, good, good! To be able to force this old man to this point, you, Yang Wudi, can be proud even in Hell!"
The Seventh Elder sneered.
He no longer held anything back, and the seventh Soul Ring on his body lit up.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body!"
In the air, the Seventh Elder's figure suddenly merged with the two flaming Clear Sky Hammers.
As the light surged, a massive flaming Clear Sky Hammer, ten zhang tall, its entire body appearing as if cast from molten lava and its surface flowing with dark red flame patterns, majestically appeared!
The hammer head was like a mountain; its mere presence caused the temperature within hundreds of meters to soar rapidly, the air to distort, and the rubble in the ruins to even begin turning red and softening!
The Martial Soul True Body of a Titled Douluo was far more powerful than that of a Soul Douluo.
The vast, ocean-like fluctuations of Soul Power made it difficult for the onlookers to breathe, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
But this was not the end.
Above that flaming giant hammer True Body that seemed capable of suppressing heaven and earth.
A heart-palpitating black Soul Ring slowly rose.
Although its color was not the deepest, the terrifying power it represented already made everyone's expressions change!
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Burn the Eight Wildernesses!"
The flaming giant hammer True Body vibrated with a boom, its head pointing toward the firmament, and countless violent crimson lava flows gushed out like an inverted volcano.
They did not disperse to cover the area but instead converged in the air into a lava torrent over ten meters in diameter, composed purely of destructive energy.
Then, like a spear of divine punishment, carrying a scorching heat and impact that annihilated everything, it smashed down towards Yang Wudi below!
The power of this strike was far beyond any previous Martial Soul skill; it was concentrated and focused, instantly locking onto all of Yang Wudi's auras.
He had nowhere to hide and could only take it head-on!
Seeing the Seventh Elder's Martial Soul True Body and Ninth Spirit Skill with their monstrous power, and the lava waterfall caused by the giant lava hammer falling with the might to incinerate everything, there was no fear in Yang Wudi's eyes.
He took a deep breath, and the residual Soul Power around his body surged madly.
The eight Soul Rings on his body all lit up at the same time!
Yellow, purple, and black lights rapidly rotated, collided, and compressed, finally transforming into a chaotic and violent dark golden pillar of light, completely engulfing him and the Soul Breaking Spear!
spirit ring fusion, gathering all the power of the Soul Rings into a single point!
There was no fancy name for the Move, no charging process.
The moment the dark golden pillar of light reached its peak, Yang Wudi merged with his spear, transforming into a dark golden sharp radiance that seemed capable of piercing heaven and earth.
With the purest and most resolute posture, he thrust his spear out, going against that crimson lava waterfall!
This spear strike was so fast it exceeded the limits of vision!
This spear strike condensed his lifelong cultivation, the blood feud of his Family, and the unyielding "Breaking" intent!
The moment the spear was thrust, the world lost its color, and only that dark golden radiance became the sole focus!
Even the world-destroying lava waterfall seemed to dim for an instant before this ultimate sharpness!
"What?!"
Watching this scene, the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect had his pupils shrink and exclaimed, "He actually dared to fuse all his Soul Rings into one strike?! This is simply a suicidal tactic!"
Another Elder's face turned ashen, and he said urgently, "Not good! Although Old Seven's Ninth Spirit Skill is strong, the penetrating power of Yang Wudi's desperate strike... I'm afraid it cannot be blocked! If he is stabbed..."
A cold light flashed in the Second Elder's eyes, and he immediately used Soul Power to transmit his voice to the other Elders: "Prepare to act! The bet is void! We absolutely cannot let Old Seven get hurt. If necessary, kill Yang Wudi directly!"
Upon hearing this, the other Elders of the Clear Sky Sect suddenly became fierce, their Soul Power hidden but ready, having locked onto the battlefield.
As long as the Seventh Elder showed signs of defeat, they would immediately strike with thunderous force, acting in the name of rescue while actually intending to silence him!
On the other side, Niu Gao saw Yang Wudi's resolute spirit ring fusion strike and was also greatly shocked, exclaiming urgently, "Poison Douluo! Old goat is risking everything! If... if he loses..."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's emerald pupils instantly shrank into thin lines.
He stared fixedly at that dark golden spear radiance, then glanced at the Clear Sky Sect Elders who were ready to Move on the opposite side, and let out a cold snort, his voice filled with bone-chilling coldness, saying, "Lost? So what if he lost? He, Yang Wudi, is now a person of my Soul Hall, personally recruited by Tang Chuan... Suicide to fulfill the bet?"
"If those old things from the Clear Sky Sect dare to take advantage of this to push their luck, force Old goat to his death, or want to make a Move themselves... hmph."
"Tang Xiao is already mostly crippled, and as for those remaining half-baked Elders... it wouldn't be impossible for this old man to exhaust a few years of cultivation to poison them all to death here today."
Niu Gao gasped after hearing this, but immediately nodded heavily.
The Armored Giant Rhino rose up and stood by Dugu Bo's side, clearly having prepared for the worst.
At this moment, both sides could be said to be harboring their own hidden agendas!
...
Meanwhile, above the Sunset Forest.
The vast green forest, within sight, was a monotonous green.
Above the azure sky, several golden streams of light suddenly flashed by, the enormous wind pressure directly pressing a shallow gully into the sea of forest below.
Only a moment later, the gully was perfectly covered by the breeze.
Shortly after these figures flashed by, another blue stream of light followed closely behind.
"Not good, Second Brother, that kid has caught up again."
Looking at Tang Chuan who had caught up so quickly, the hearts of Thousand Jun Douluo and the others became slightly panicked.
