Chapter 517 Golden Crocodile: I will take action!
zizi——
The sounds of corrosion were incessant.
Not only was Tang Hao's tattered black robe corroded with huge holes, but even the Clear Sky Hammer, formed from Tang Hao's soul power, was being melted, and the damage was spreading.
This shows just how terrifying the poison released by Dugu Bo was.
In the past, Dugu Bo would have been helpless against Tang Hao. Any expert above the Title Douluo level could resist his poisonous erosion with their soul power.
But after practicing the poison cultivation method obtained from Ye Qifeng, things changed.
The method of cultivating poison not only resolved the backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom in Dugu Bo's martial soul, but also helped him condense a complete poison pill, making his poison more refined and powerful.
Furthermore, Dugu Bo later consumed the celestial herb Snow Swan Kiss, which amplified the toxicity of the poison attached to his martial soul by hundreds or thousands of times.
Now, Dugu Bo's poison is far more potent than before, reaching an extremely terrifying level. Even Tang Hao, who is also a level 95 Super Douluo, cannot withstand it.
The deadly poison stuck to the Clear Sky Hammer was spreading rapidly like wildfire, threatening to corrode the entire Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Hao looked incredulous and tried to extinguish the poisonous fire with his powerful soul force, but it had no effect. Instead, it fueled the poison's power, making it worse and worse.
Upon encountering the increased soul power, the already persistent and troublesome poison suddenly transforms into a hungry jackal, swarming forward to tear, corrode, and melt away as if it had suddenly encountered prey.
There's even a tendency to climb up the pole and invite trouble upon themselves.
Seeing this, Tang Hao had no choice but to cut off the supply of soul power, deactivate the Clear Sky Hammer's summoning state, and then summon it again.
This eliminated the threat of the deadly poison.
However, it wasn't over yet; Dugu Bo's next attack was coming soon.
After spitting out a mouthful of poison, Dugu Bo controlled his giant snake tail, as thick as a bucket, and quickly rolled it back, repeating the same trick, and lashed out at Tang Hao once again.
Tang Hao, who had just summoned the Clear Sky Hammer again, hurriedly went to defend.
This time, he was unable to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique as before. He only had time to hold the Haotian Hammer horizontally in front of his chest before he was struck hard by the snake's tail, which was as thick as a water vat, and was sent flying thousands of meters away.
Everything happened very quickly. In the battles between Super Douluo, every clash was almost instantaneous, and so were the opportunities.
Dugu Bo seized the opportunity.
He chose a very good time, taking advantage of Tang Hao's underestimation of his opponent, and struck first. With a simple combination of attacks, he gained a slight advantage.
But this is only the beginning, and it does not mean that Tang Hao has been defeated and is no longer capable of fighting.
As Tang Hao flew backward, his body plowed a deep trench in the ground, crashing through countless trees along the way until he finally came to a stop after hitting a massive boulder.
The boulder shattered into pieces, the tree snapped and crashed to the ground, and shrubs and grass clippings scattered everywhere. However, Tang Hao was protected by his soul power, so he was not seriously injured. At most, he felt a little tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.
But that's enough.
"Damn it! Dugu Bo, you're asking for death!"
Tang Hao pulled himself off the boulder, his face contorted with rage.
What a disgrace, an absolute disgrace! To actually suffer a loss at the hands of Dugu Bo, a disgrace to the titled Douluo.
This was something that the proud and arrogant Tang Hao could not tolerate.
"The True Form of Haotian!"
Finally, Tang Hao used his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body.
Although he is a powerful, offensive Super Douluo with an extremely strong physique, he is still somewhat inferior to Dugu Bo, who possesses a Beast Martial Soul and has completed Martial Soul Possession and unleashed the Beast Soul True Form.
Now that everyone's cultivation level is above the same realm, if he doesn't release his weapon spirit true form to amplify himself, he simply cannot compete with Dugu Bo using ordinary methods and can only passively take a beating.
Left with no other choice, he had to use his Martial Soul True Body to deal with the situation.
With a roar like a tiger, Tang Hao's aura suddenly surged, and a layer of brilliant golden light was released from his body, instantly condensing into a golden body that was a hundred meters tall, with an appearance exactly the same as his original body.
The Haotian Hammer in his hand also swelled in the wind, transforming into an enormous black hammer, held in the golden body's hand, its length also reaching a hundred meters.
The enormous hammerhead, as large as a small mountain, was covered with red lines that instantly spread across its entire surface.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Hao transformed into a massive body, comparable in size to Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor true form, as if possessed by a war god.
Unlike beast spirits, which undergo corresponding changes when unleashing their true spirit form.
Generally speaking, when a Soul Master with a Martial Soul is using a Weapon Martial Soul, their physical body does not change when they unleash their Martial Soul True Form; what changes is the Weapon Martial Soul in their hand.
In order to match the enlarged weapon spirit, the weapon spirit master's soul power will use his own body as a template to create a huge body and give the original body all senses and motor functions, so as to make it easier to control the enlarged weapon spirit.
Tang Hao's Martial Soul True Form has an extremely terrifying aura, but equally terrifying are the Soul Rings on his body.
At this moment, nine soul rings were condensing beneath Tang Hao's martial soul true body, slowly pulsating around the massive true body.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
The aura of the nine spirit rings grew more concentrated with each ring, especially the last red spirit ring, which exuded the strongest and most oppressive aura.
What does a red spirit ring represent?
Any powerful Soul Master with a bit of background should know that it represents the most supreme existence among all known Soul Rings in the Soul Master world. It is a 100,000-year Soul Ring that can only appear on a 100,000-year Soul Beast!
They are all titled Douluo, but there are still differences between them.
Excluding other factors, the age and level of a spirit ring can determine whether a Title Douluo is strong or weak.
The difference between a 100,000-year soul ring and a 10,000-year soul ring may seem to be only one level, but the gap between them is enormous, like heaven and earth.
Seeing Tang Hao unleash the Haotian True Body, Dugu Bo remained calm and fearless, but his expression changed noticeably when he saw the red 100,000-year soul ring.
Although he had already learned from Saint Ye Qifeng that Tang Hao possessed a 100,000-year soul ring, Dugu Bocai finally realized how terrifying it was after seeing it with his own eyes and experiencing it firsthand.
Dugu Bo's nine spirit rings consisted of two yellow, two purple, and five black rings, which was only one red spirit ring less than Tang Hao's.
It is precisely because of this difference that the auras they exude, even though they are at the same level, are somewhat different.
Tang Hao was actually subtly gaining the upper hand over Dugu Bo.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo had the support of his poison skills, so he was not afraid of Tang Hao. Invisibly, his poison skills eliminated Tang Hao's suppressive aura.
…………
"Dugu Bo, prepare to die!"
The moment Haotian's true form materialized, Tang Hao immediately launched a counterattack, charging fiercely towards Dugu Bo.
Although its golden body was enormous, it was exceptionally agile and moved with lightning speed. The super-giant hammer, which was a hundred meters long, seemed to fall from the sky as Haotian's true form swung it, heading straight for the head of Dugu Bobi Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's true form.
Facing Tang Hao's massive true form charging forward with overwhelming momentum, and the enormous hammer hurtling towards him, Dugu Bo showed no panic. Instead, he became even more excited and charged headlong towards the massive hammerhead:
"Come on, Tang Hao."
"Let me see if your combat strength is truly as powerful as the rumors suggest."
boom--
Dugu Bo's speed was no less than Tang Hao's. In the blink of an eye, the two had crossed a thousand meters and collided with a loud crash.
This time, the clash between the two was even more intense, and the aftershocks of the battle were even more terrifying. In an instant, all the vegetation within a radius of hundreds of meters was destroyed and turned into dust.
After the first strike, the two didn't pause for a moment, and immediately launched into another series of clashes.
The continuous collisions caused the earth to tremble violently, and even the nearby mountains were shaking. Countless venomous creatures, such as reptiles and beasts, dared not gather around the mountains and fled the area.
…………
Feeling the intense fluctuations emanating from the battle between Dugu Bo and Tang Hao.
They had already fled to a distance and were looking at the Shrek Academy students from afar. Everyone felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, they had followed Tang Hao's instructions and left the forest where the mountain was located in advance.
If they had stayed there, given their strength, probably none of them would have been able to withstand such a terrifying impact.
Even the slightest aftershock of the battle could cause them heavy casualties.
Both Dugu Bo's beast soul true form and Tang Hao's weapon soul true form are hundreds of meters tall, making them easy to distinguish.
However, no one could clearly see the two people's movements.
In battles between Super Douluo, each clash is almost instantaneous; those with too low a cultivation level...
Only Flander and Zhao Wuji, both Soul Saints, and Tang San, who possessed the Purple Demon Eye, a unique eye-training technique of the Tang Sect, were able to detect a trace of their battle.
However, they were only able to capture a few glimpses of the fight between Dugu Bo and Tang Hao during the brief pause when they clashed.
…………
At the summit and the bottom of the valley, the eyes of ice and fire reside.
The battle between Dugu Bo and Tang Hao took place outside the mountain peak, and it had clearly spread to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Fortunately, the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes are located, and even the entire mountain peak, were formed by the falling corpses of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King. Under the influence of the remaining divine power of the two dragon kings, and after thousands of years of evolution, they have become extremely solid and difficult to destroy.
But the violent tremors still reached this place.
It had little effect on Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was sitting cross-legged and floating in mid-air.
Instead, it was at the other end of the Yin-Yang Well, at the equilibrium point where the banks of the hot and cold springs meet, that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating, were awakened by the shock.
"What's wrong?"
Their cultivation was interrupted, and Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both woke up. After regaining their balance, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Dugu Yan, who had consumed the earthworm and golden melon, felt the violent tremors coming from the ground even more clearly:
"Why is the shaking so violently all of a sudden? Has an earth dragon stirred up?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I didn't feel any massive earth energy like when the earth dragon turned over. It seemed more like a localized, small-scale tremor caused by some kind of explosion or roar."
Ye Lingling, whose face was covered by a black veil, slowly shook her head, unable to give an answer for the time being.
At this moment, a rough and deep voice came from the opposite bank of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye:
"It wasn't an earth dragon turning over; it was the aftermath of a battle between your grandfather, Dugu Bo, and someone."
The one who answered Dugu Yan was none other than Golden Crocodile Douluo. At this moment, he had already opened his eyes and was looking at the two beautiful young girls as if he were looking at his own granddaughters, his gaze full of kindness.
"Oh, it's not an earth dragon turning over, that's good, you scared me."
Dugu Yan was taken aback at first, then exclaimed in a sweet voice:
"Wait, what did you say, senior? This was caused by the aftershocks of Grandpa's battle with someone?"
Beside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, influenced by the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), she and Ye Lingling were too low in cultivation level and too weak in spiritual power to perceive anything from the outside world. They could only ask the Golden Crocodile:
"Grandpa's getting into a fight? There's such a commotion, who could it be? Could it be Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo again?"
Dugu Yan knew all too well the grudges and feuds between her grandfather Dugu Bo and Ju Douluo Yue Guan. The two were enemies back then, and they fought once or twice almost every year.
Although the two have now resolved their misunderstanding and made peace thanks to the mediation of Saint Ziye Qifeng, they both have rather strange tempers and are still unwilling to give in to each other. Whenever they meet, they still inevitably end up fighting.
However, the golden crocodile shook his head slightly, denying her, and replied:
"It wasn't Yue Guan, but two rats."
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment:
"Two mice?"
Ye Lingling then asked respectfully:
"Senior, are the two people fighting Senior Dugu enemies?"
Golden Crocodile grunted and nodded at the two of them, then, as if determined to say something shocking, added:
"Two giant rats with strength at the peak of level 95."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were immediately startled and exclaimed in unison:
"Peak level 95?"
"Aren't those two experts on par with Grandpa? How can we possibly win against two of them?"
Dugu Yan couldn't sit still any longer. "Senior, could you please..."
At this moment, Golden Crocodile suddenly reached out and interrupted her. He seemed to sense something, and abruptly stood up, his face visibly darkening.
I'm going out for a bit.
After uttering those words, the golden crocodile turned and swiftly flew out of the valley, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Before Dugu Yan could finish speaking, she stood there, mouth agape, completely stunned.
Ye Lingling noticed the worry in Dugu Yan's heart and gently took her small hand in hers:
"Yanyan, don't worry. With Senior Golden Crocodile's help, Grandpa Dugu will be fine."
Dugu Yan nodded slightly, but still couldn't help but frown, worried about her grandfather.
At that moment, the golden crocodile's deep, kind voice suddenly entered their ears:
"Don't worry, with me here, Dugu will be fine. I'll step in when it matters. You two can focus on your cultivation here. I'll be right back."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was relieved and her smile returned.
