[Comment: Why do I feel like Tang Hao is deliberately stalling for time? What is he waiting for?]
[Comments: Waiting for the rewards! He wants to turn things around with the rewards!]
Just as everyone was discussing this, a magnificent, majestic, and emotionless voice resounded throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
[The Heavenly Review has ended; rewards will now be distributed.]
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden scroll in the sky shone brightly.
A thick, mountain-like golden beam of light, imbued with supreme majesty, crashed down from the heavens, precisely enveloping the disheveled figure below.
Bathed in this sacred golden light, Tang Hao's injuries healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The depleted vital energy was replenished, and even the primal power consumed by the exploding ring seemed to be replenished by this great force.
At the same time, the majestic voice of the Heavenly Ranking once again resounded through the sky.
[Heavenly rewards are being distributed...]
[Reward 1: Increased Soul Ring Age. The overall age of all of Tang Hao's Soul Rings has been increased by 50,000 years!]
[Reward Two: Soul Power Level Increase. Tang Hao's soul power level has increased to level ninety-eight!]
[Reward Three: Martial Soul Evolution. The Clear Sky Hammer evolves into—The Sky-Supporting Divine Hammer!]
[Reward Four: External Soul Bone. The reward is the External Soul Bone – Heaven-Supporting Hand! Attached Skill: Heaven-Supporting Power, amplifying the wielder's strength twentyfold!]
Four consecutive announcements, like four thunderclaps from the heavens, resounded in the minds of every living being on the Douluo Continent!
The whole world fell into a deathly silence at that moment.
Immediately following was an uproar as loud as a landslide and a tsunami!
...
Amidst the golden light, Tang Hao slowly straightened his body.
He felt the unprecedented power within his body, and as he listened to the voice of the Heavenly Dao, the pain, regret, and despair on his face faded away.
Instead, there was an almost twisted ecstasy and savagery!
He slowly raised his head, his scarlet eyes fixed on Tang Chen high in the sky, a maniacal smile spreading across his lips.
"Hahaha...hahahaha!"
"Did you hear that? This is the way of Heaven! This is destiny!"
Tang Hao's voice was hoarse and high-pitched, filled with an arrogant and overbearing tone.
"I, Tang Hao, am the one destined by Heaven!"
"Ah Yin, did you see that? Even Heaven is on my side! How dare you betray me for a bastard child?"
He turned to look at Ah Yin's illusory figure, his eyes filled with possessiveness and violence.
"Today, I am blessed by the heavens and will slay this ignorant and reckless soul beast!"
"Then, I will imprison you and make you reflect on your mistakes day and night!"
He roared hysterically, as if he could already see himself ruling the world and trampling everything under his feet.
However, Tang Chen, high in the sky, merely watched him with interest, his gaze as if observing an ant leaping about.
"A clown."
Tang Chen's voice was soft, yet it clearly resonated throughout the entire live stream.
"Don't even mention a mere reward from Heaven. Even if you were to become a god on the spot, what difference would it make?"
Upon hearing this, the barrage of comments in front of the Heavenly Ranking instantly erupted.
[Comment: Holy crap! This soul beast is too arrogant! That's a reward from Heaven!]
[Comments: Power boost! Level 98 Soul Power! The Clear Sky Hammer has even evolved! This reward is simply insane!]
[Comment: Haotian Douluo is probably the number one person in the world now, right? Besides the gods, who can be his match?]
[Comment: I'm curious, where does he get the audacity to say something like that?]
Just as everyone was discussing, Tang Hao, bathed in golden light, roared to the sky!
Buzz—!
Nine spirit rings suddenly rose from beneath his feet!
Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!
Then the colors of the spirit rings all changed.
Those six black spirit rings were now emitting an eerie red light, as if they were about to transform into true 100,000-year spirit rings at any moment!
His ninth 100,000-year soul ring was an intensely reddish-purple color, resembling a solidified piece of divine blood agate!
The terrifying soul power pressure of level ninety-eight swept out like a tsunami, causing the entire world to change color!
He slowly raised his right hand, and a giant hammer, even larger and more ferocious than before, appeared out of thin air.
The hammer's surface was no longer simply dark gold, but covered with mysterious blood-red divine patterns. With each turn, the space groaned under its unbearable weight.
Even more alarming was the fact that a dark gold arm armor, covering his shoulder, had appeared on his right arm at some unknown time.
The arm armor was shaped like a giant hand, with its five fingers opening and closing as if it could grasp the sun, moon, and stars!
The Hand that Holds Up the Sky!
[Comments: This is terrifying! This power... just looking at it is suffocating!]
[Comment: This is more terrifying than any of the rewards we've reviewed before!]
[Comments: Haotian Douluo! Invincible!]
Tang Hao was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
This power!
This is the power he should possess!
He is the true protagonist of this world!
He is favored by Heaven; he is the chosen one!
The thought of the scene of being crushed by Tang Chen being seen by the entire continent made his killing intent boil to the extreme.
He wanted to use the most cruel and bloody method to completely obliterate the man in front of him and wash away all his shame!
"Disheveled! Cloak! Wind!"
Tang Hao spoke slowly and deliberately, each word filled with boundless hatred.
The towering hammer in his hand began to dance in a mysterious trajectory.
One strike!
Two hammer blows!
...
Eighty hammer blows!
Eighty-one blows!
When the final hammer fell, his aura and power had reached a peak unimaginable to ordinary people.
But that's not all!
"Great Sumeru Hammer! Ring Explosion!"
A hint of madness flashed in Tang Hao's eyes. The six black and red soul rings under his feet, along with the three bright red 100,000-year soul rings, detonated simultaneously once again in that instant!
This time, the ring explosion was more than ten times more powerful than before!
The earth-shattering torrent of soul power was poured into the Heaven-Supporting Divine Hammer, which had gathered the power of eighty-one hammer blows!
The power of this attack has surpassed the scope of a Limit Douluo.
Enough to shake the gods!
"This farce should end now."
Tang Chen looked down at Tang Hao, who was fighting with all his might, his eyes indifferent, and gently shook his head.
...
The Hall of Elders, Martial Soul Empire.
The worshippers, witnessing the earth-shattering attack in the light screen, all paled in shock.
Only Qian Daoliu remained calmly watching the white-clad figure in the light screen, his eyes filled with a deep, unspoken certainty.
The battlefield of Jialing Pass.
"My husband!"
Qian Renxue, dressed in a magnificent golden palace gown, stood atop the city tower, her golden hair fluttering in the wind.
Her long, straight legs, with their breathtaking curves outlined by the hem of her skirt, were slightly tense, revealing her inner tension.
She had absolute faith in her husband, but the scene before her still made her heart ache.
