“Tang San, among the Seagod Seven Sacred Pillar protector Douluo, only I and Sea Illusion possess domains. I know you have two domains, this is something I’ve never even heard of, and on that I have no opinion. However, in front of me, no matter how many domains you have, they are all useless. Because, my domain is called Devilbreaker, and it has only one effect. That is, to break all domain abilities.”
As he spoke, a bizarre blue ripple spread out from that eye-like crystal on his chest, and a strange scene appeared. Tang San didn’t feel any attack, but his Blue Silver Domain quietly disappeared in that ripplin blue wave, Boundless Nature’s illusion obliterated completely in the blink of an eye, exposing the true scene of the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar platform.
Devilbreaker Domain? Tang San drew a deep breath. The world was vast, there really was nothing that was too strange. Even a peculiar domain like this that could break all other domains existed. Even though it held no strengthening effect to oneself, and wasn’t even a bit helpful against opponents that had no domains, all powers with domains would be severely restrained. And like him with two domains, it was a complete tragedy. Having lost his domains, Tang San’s strength could be said to have dropped a major step. Not only couldn’t he use the boost and weakening effects, he also lost the use of a lot of applicable tactics. Confronting a power like Sea Dragon Douluo while only being able to fight head on, absolutely wasn’t a comfortable thought.
Watching the Blue Silver Domain melt away, Sea dragon Douluo’s eyes flashed,
“Take care.”
With a thump, Sea Dragon Douluo’s right leg heavily swept the ground, launching him like a cannonball towards Tang San. At the same time as he used force, one could clearly see how his scales all stood up, like sharp sawteeth, intense blue light blossoming explosively, fusing together with the effect released from his first spirit ring, dyeing every part of his body blue. He leaned forward, almost parallel with the ground as he charged, keeping a perfectly streamlined profile, his right claw sweeping towards Tang San’s chest.
With Sea Dragon Douluo’s attack, Tang San’s eyes also brightened equally, a formidable opponent arousing his intense fighting spirit. Neither dodging nor avoiding, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, his body swaying, his right hand making a slight twisting motion in the air and slapping at Sea Dragon Douluo’s claw from the side.
In that instant, Tang San’s right hand turned completely jade white. Without using any spirit abilities, this seemingly light palm condensed numerous Tang Sect secret skills.
With a clapping sound, Tang San swept past next to Sea Dragon Douluo. Sea Dragon Douluo swayed once, his left hand slapping the sacred pillar platform, making him flip over, and another claw swept out, scratching towards Tang San.
Still flickering like an illusion, Tang San bent back slightly, his equally flickering jade hands matched Sea Dragon Douluo’s hands, leveraging the force, he unloaded Sea Dragon Douluo’s tyrannical strength, equally destroying his balance.
“Good.”
Sea Dragon Douluo roared with excitement, his body spinning around and around, already changed position with Tang San.
Two simple exchanges, and clearly neither side had used their full strength, but they’d also both sensed the opponent’s power. Tang San clearly discovered that Sea Dragon Douluo’s claws held held a frightful power, not only exceptionally sharp, but also extremely heavy. When they came into contact, he would immediately feel a mountainous pressure hit him, on top of which was a spirit power wave filled with destructiveness. If he really was hit head on, even a small mountain might not be able to resist collapsing.
And Sea Dragon Douluo on his side had another feeling. In his eyes, Tang San gracefully changed his stance, coming into contact two times in succession, both just colliding with the force he used. His hands were steady and solid, and moreover had a kind of special energy, the force he exerted had actually disappeared unseen like a clay ox in the ocean, and his body had also changed direction, pulled by his own force. Extremely peculiar.
He had no way of knowing that Tang San preciously used the Tang Sect secret skill Ghost Perplexing Shadow Step to make him untargetable, and then used Mysterious Jade Hand so he wouldn’t be injured in the exchange. That bizarre energy was the Controlling Crane Catching Dragon’s technique. But die to Sea Dragon Douluo’s erect scales, as well as his berserk energy, Tang San didn’t dare forcefully counterattack, it was just a probe. In terms of strength and spirit power, Tang San clearly wasn’t his opponent. But in terms of diverting and calculating force, let alone Sea Dragon Douluo, even Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi might not be stronger than him. Along with his strenght growing, Tang San’s Controlling Crane Catching Dragon had grown increasingly skilful. If something could be settled with just spirit abilities, he wouldn’t easily use Tang Sect secret skills, these skills not part of this world were the Tang Sect’s greatest aces.
“Again.”
Seeing that Tang San didn’t actually use any abilities, Sea Dragon Douluo didn’t launch any of his own. Spreading his claws, he was about to lunge again.
“Wait a moment.”
Tang San suddenly shouted, making a stopping gesture.
With Sea Dragon Douluo’s formidable strength, he could revoke his strenght as well as exert it. Floating back down to the ground, he said astonished:
“What?”
Tang San said calmly:
“Senior, I have a proposal. Let us use a special method to conduct this battle, how about it?”
“Special method? I’m listening.”
Excited light pulsed in Sea Dragon Douluo’s eyes, clearly it was because his previous exchange with Tang San had ignited his fighting spirit.
Tang San said:
“Even though my two domains are restrained by senior and can’t be used, I have altogether five spirit bones. Four among them are on the hundred thousand year level. In terms of spirit abilities, I absolutely won’t lose out. Senior said before that I took shortcuts in the previous battles. Then, this time I hope to be able to fight fairly with senior. Neither of us will really use any spirit ring or spirit bone abilities, only relying on our spirits to fight and determine the outcome, what does senior say?”
Sea Dragon Douluo looked distracted a moment. Looking over Tang San, looking over Xiao Wu dodging aside,
“Including her?”
His character seemed straightforward, but he was in no way impulsive. Tang San could pass six precious sacred pillars to come here. It absolutely wasn’t just shortcuts. His strength was also extremely astonishing. Moreover, after Xiao Wu’s soul returned to her body just now, Sea Dragon Douluo immediately discovered that this stunning young woman equally posed a threat to him. In a one versus two without using spirit abilities, he was definitely at a disadvantage.
Tang San firmly shook his head:
“Of course not. Even if senior’s age is far higher than mine, this is a fair confrontation between men. It’s you and me.”
“Fine, then let’s use only spirits to fight.”
Sea Dragon Douluo no longer hesitated, directly agreeing to Tang San’s proposal. Tang San’s four hundred thousand year spirit rings were arranged clearly in front of him. This youth possessed four hundred thousand year spirit bones among a total of five spirit bones, and that he wasn’t inferior in terms of skill, and had endless variations, had been clearly demonstrated in the previous sacred pillar battles. Even though he didn’t know what his reason was for now fighting with him without spirit abilities. No matter what was said, it wouldn’t be a loss for him. He was still a senior, and naturally he would be embarrassed if he didn’t agree.
Hearing Sea Dragon Douluo agree, Tang San revealed a faint smile, thinking to himself, it’s good that you agreed, I was only afraid you wouldn’t.
Sea Dragon Douluo’s thinking was correct, when not using spirit ring or spirit bone abilities he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. Tang San also understood this bit. However, without the two great domains for support, he had
no certainty of being able to defeat Sea Dragon Douluo. This was the sea within the sea, not just dry land. One could imagine how terrifying Sea Dragon Douluo’s strength would be after he used spirit avatar. Without help from the domains, how would he resist the opponent’s unknown ninth spirit ability? The more complex the battle, the more numerous the chances for defeat. Rather than that, it would be better to simplify the situation. In a pure punch out, Tang San also had his advantages.
The golden blue light vanished, even those eight gorgeous spirit rings disappeared simultaneously. Seeing Tang San withdraw his spirit, Sea Dragon Douluo couldn’t help being distracted. This fight was supposed to be without spirit abilities, not without spirits! What was this kid putting away his spirit for?
Tang San very quickly gave the answer. While indicating Xiao Wu to step aside, he simultaneously raised his left hand. In a surge of black light, a black hammer quietly appeared in his palm. The Clear Sky Hammer.
In a situation without using spirit power, what spirit was more suited to a punc out than the Clear Sky Hammer? As the world’s most forceful, most destructive formidable spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer finally once again went on stage in Tang San’s hand.
Along with Tang San’s constant improvements in strength, especially after his spirit power broke through the Spirit Avatar level, even without spirit rings, the Clear Sky Hammer had also changed somewhat. The shaft was now one and a half meters long, covered with a spiral pattern that made holding it even more stable. The head was especially enormous, a cylinder shape with a cross section diameter of a third of a meter, and two thirds of a meter long. On top was carved a complex pattern of magic lines, at the same time the imprint of the Deathgod Domain.
Due to the Clear Sky Hammer being his spirit, Tang San couldn’t really feel its true weight, but according to his estimate, the current Clear Sky Hammer weighed no less than a ton. Weight was originally one of the Clear Sky Hammer’s most dreadful properties. If it was after Tang San added spirit rings, its weight would rise to an even more terrifying degree. According to what Tang San knew, the Clear Sky School master Tang Xiao’s Clear Sky Hammer absolutely weighed more than five tons. Even without using spirit abilities, just using spirit power with each swing, there was no need to doubt its destructive power. This was also why the Clear Sky School painstakingly researched created spirit abilities for the Clear Sky Hammer, an important reason it could become the world’s foremost spirit master sect.
As a sea spirit master, Sea Dragon Douluo didn’t know anything about the Clear Sky Hammer. But he watched a spirit tool suddenly appear in Tang San’s hand, and even more withdrew his Blue Silver Emperor, he couldn’t help being shocked, looking doubtfully at Tang San,
“This is……”
Tang San firmly said:
“This is junior’s twin spirit. Senior please advise.”
“Twin spirits?”
Sea Dragon Douluo slighlty changed color. Even though he didn’t know the Clear Sky Hammer, he had still heard of twin spirits. Only it was his first time seeing one. Even though the Clear Sky Hammer didn’t have any spirit rings, Sea Dragon Douluo had a faint feeling of being tricked. But he was after all the head of the seven sacred pillar protector Douluo, words said were like water spilt, how could he take it back?
“Come.”
With a deep shout, Sea Dragon Douluo raised his dragon claws to Tang San.
Tang San’s left hand grasped the Clear Sky Hammer, taking the initiative to launch an attack. Taking three quick steps forward, the Clear Sky Hammer swung upwards from below with momentum enough to set the sky ablaze, going straight for Sea Dragon Douluo’s chest.
Sea Dragon Douluo neither retreated nor dodged. WIth a deep roar, two dragon claws smashed down as one. He would test just what was so peculiar about Tang San’s twin spirit.
Hong—— This was a collision without any technique.
Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer was smashed down, forcing him to stumble a couple steps forward, and Sea Dragon Douluo’s two dragon claws were simultaneously bashed up, his body swaying, also retreating a step. Due to his face being covered by scales, there was no way to see his expression, but from the expression of his eyes one could tell how shocked he was right now.
Sea Dragon Douluo clearly felt his hands transformed into dragon claws go numb, from that pitch black hammer came an impact force that was difficult to describe. Even though he didn’t use his full strength, this exchange immediately brought him the discovery that, while not using spirit abilities, his spirit seemed to be restrained by this seemingly unremarkable black hammer.
In terms of power attack, what was stronger than the Clear Sky Hammer? In terms of violent force, what could compare to this number one sect’s spirit?
Following the momentum forward, Tang San didn’t halt. Stepping off with the toes of his left foot, his whole body spun rapidly, and the Clear Sky Hammer once again swung out. But making Sea Dragon Douluo confused was that this swing wasn’t aimed at him, but rather swung at empty air, and moreover his whole body seemed to be forcefully spun a turn by the Clear Sky Hammer’s momentum, sending out yet another swing, advancing like a whirlwind, forging towards him.
Created spirit ability? Sea Dragon Douluo’s battle experience really was too rich, even when he’d only seen two swings, he immediately identified it. His eyes displayed a cold glint as he crouched back slightly. You have a created spirit ability, don’t say I don’t?
Intense blue light erupted from every scale on Sea Dragon Douluo’s body. That wasn’t a spirit ability, but his incomparably tyrannical spirit power. That dragon illusion behind him suddenly grew distinct, and as he moved, a low dragon song slowly echoed from the surface of the sea.
Sea Dragon Douluo suddenly faced upwards and roared, the resonant dragon cry resonating with the low sound from the seawater. In that instant, it seemed as if all the water element between heaven and earth condensed within his body. Taking one heavy step forward, confronting Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer, Sea Dragon Douluo brazenly went to meet it, left leg forward, his whole body flew up, dragon claw forming a fist as he rotated violently in midair, without the slightest thought to defense, his whole body was covered in intense deep blue spirit power, striking towards Tang San like a shooting star.
What Tang San used was of course Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, but it wasn’t the original one, but rather one that had undergone his own personal improvements. A Disorder Splitting Wind Dance combined with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step. As his strength rose, this Disorder Splitting Wind Dance could be used however he wished. While Sea Dragon Douluo charged up strength, he had already swung sixteen times. Seeing the opponent attack him, immense energy locking down a large area, the seventeenth hammer swung out, meeting it directly.
Hong——
The moment hammer and fist collided, everything seemed to stand still. The next moment, Dai Mubai and the others on the shore without exception covered their ears. An intense shockwave exploded from the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar platform, and all the seawater within several dozen meters sank by ten meters, enormous waves surged towards the sky, heavily striking towards the shore. Xiao Wu also dodged behind the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, thereby avoiding this terrifying blast wave.
Smashed scales fluttered in the air, turning into sparkling specks of blue light. At the same time flying off, was scarlet blood.
The two people at the heart of the collision flew away like artillery shells, thrown more than fifty meters away before dropping into the sea within the sea.
In order to defeat the opponent, even though Tang San and Sea Dragon Douluo couldn’t use spirit abilities, in that one strike before, both sides had used their full spirit power.
The one ton Clear Sky Hammer plus the superimposed spirit power of seventeen swings, its destructive power was obvious.
The created spirit ability Sea Dragon Douluo used was called Lifegiving Skill, while not using any defense, raised attack power by two hundred percent. In fact, he wa
s a ninety fifth rank Title Douluo! Instantly raising his attack power by two hundred percent, that was somewhat terrifying.
It was these two kinds of outrageous attacks that collided.
Tang San’s clothes all burst open under the violent impact, exposing solid muscle, all his bones making popping sounds like fried beans. Blood madly spurted out as he was blasted into the air.
On the other side, Sea Dragon Douluo using the Lifegiving Skill wasn’t feeling any better. The scales on both his arms flew in all directions, and he equally splashed out blood. As he flew out, he equally spit blood.
In a contest of force, both sides suffered.
Absolutely don’t believe that Sea Dragon Douluo after using Sea Dragon body enhancement wouldn’t hold an advantage when both sides were injured like this. Even though Tang San couldn’t use spirit body enhancement, he was as one with the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Clear Sky Hammer had endured the overwhelming majority of the opponent’s attack power. Moreover, Tang San possessed five spirit bones, and after having four hundred thousand year spirit rings, his physical power wouldn’t be below that of Sea Dragon body enhanced Sea Dragon Douluo, and might even be even more formidable.
Soaking in ice cold sea water, even though the Clear Sky Hammer’s weight didn’t affect Tang San, it was extremely effective on the seawater. The one ton clear sky hammer directly pulled Tang San to the bottom of the sea.
Chapter 248: Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, Clear Sky Flying Hammer
The intense shock made Tang San’s organs feel like they were burning, but his consciousness was still very clear right then. He understood that he still had it better from the collision earlier. His father once said to him, ‘Clear Sky Hammer is the bane of all attack type battle spirits. No matter how powerful the attack type spirit is, the destructive power of Clear Sky Hammer itself will deal a heavy blow to the opponent.’ Moreover, when he swinged the Clear Sky Hammer to create a maelstrom, he also used Clear Sky Nine Finals’ ‘Shock’ character art, and in head-on conditions, would no doubt create the greatest effect. Without the Clear Sky Hammer, why else would Tang San give up his various wonderful spirit skills?
