Xiao Wu was currently using the most powerful and final method of sacrifice a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast could ever perform. She was completely giving her life and soul to a human. This was the most resolute choice a spirit beast could make.
She knew very well that Tang San was not a Titled Douluo yet. In fact, his strength was still very far from that level. Under normal rules, it would be impossible for someone like him to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring.
He would simply explode from the massive energy. However, Xiao Wu wanted to make sure he succeeded without any danger. She chose this extreme path to help him. She burned everything she had, including her physical body and her very soul. This allowed her to forcefully complete the spirit ring fusion across different ranks.
In this special sacrifice mode, she did not just lose her life. She gave up her soul too. Xiao Wu unreservedly offered everything to the man she loved so much. Because of this total sacrifice, the process ignored all the regular laws of spirit power. It did not matter how weak the person was.
It did not even matter if the person had reached the rank where they actually needed a spirit ring. The fusion of this red Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring was guaranteed to work perfectly. But the price was terrible for Xiao Wu. Her fate was to never be able to reincarnate again. She would vanish from the world forever.
Just as Xiao Wu finished her sacrifice, the crimson ring began to settle. It looked like blood and emitted a terrifyingly strong light. The Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring stabilized around Tang Chen's body. Suddenly, sounds of cracking filled the air.
The static domain that had frozen everything around them started to break. It looked like a blood-colored mirror losing its support. With a loud crash, the domain shattered like broken glass falling to the floor.
The flow of time immediately returned to normal. The energy between heaven and earth started to move and surge once again. All the people and objects that had been stuck in place regained their ability to move in an instant. The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had just recovered from being frozen.
They looked up and saw the Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring floating around Tang Chen. Its red light was beautiful and scary at the same time. They also saw the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone that had already merged with his body.
To any Spirit Master or any powerful group, these things were treasures. They were the kind of items that could make people go crazy with greed. Right away, the eyes of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members turned bright with hunger.
Their breathing became very heavy as they stared at the red ring. But they realized there was a big problem. This Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast had already finished its sacrifice. The spirit ring already had a master. There was no way for them to steal it now.
What about the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone? They thought about it for a second. But then they saw Tang Hao. He was standing there guarding the boy. Tang Hao's presence alone was enough to make them feel afraid. He was a famous powerhouse, and fighting him for the bone was suicide.
While they were stuck between greed and fear, the Vice Clan Leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan made a quick decision. He stopped looking at Tang Chen. He turned his head and looked at the woman lying on the ground. It was the person they knew as Xiao Ruier. She looked like she was dying.
The Vice Clan Leader had no idea that this woman was not who she seemed to be. Tang Chen had used his Simulation Spirit Ability to change the appearance of someone else. The person lying there was actually the Devil Bear Douluo from Spirit Hall.
He was heavily injured and unconscious. But to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she was their main target. They wanted the golden dragon bloodline more than anything. It seemed like the only goal they could actually achieve right now.
Forget about the spirit ring and the bone, the Vice Clan Leader shouted loudly. We need to move! Grab that golden-haired woman and let's get out of here right now! He sounded very urgent. The two Spirit Douluo elders behind him heard the command. They forced themselves to stop dreaming about the red ring.
They looked at each other and nodded quickly. The three of them moved like streaks of lightning across the ground. They reached the unconscious Devil Bear Douluo in a split second. One of the elders reached down and grabbed the woman. He threw her over his shoulder with a quick motion.
But the moment he lifted her, his arm felt a massive weight. He almost tripped and fell over. He could not help but whisper to himself. What is going on? This girl looks so thin and small, but why is she so heavy? It felt like he was carrying a whole mountain on his back. This was definitely not the weight of a normal human woman. But he did not have time to think about it. The situation was too dangerous to stop. He just guessed that she had a special body or was carrying some heavy hidden items.
Move out, the Vice Clan Leader growled. The three of them did not wait another second. They turned into bolts of lightning and ran away. They carried the heavy Devil Bear Douluo and fled toward the edge of the canyon. They ran in the opposite direction of Spirit City as fast as they could. They really believed their smart plan had worked.
They thought they had successfully stolen the golden dragon bloodline. They had no clue that the person on the elder's shoulder was a powerful man from Spirit Hall. It was an absurd and funny kidnapping happening right in the middle of a terrible battle.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao was so angry he felt like he might spit out blood. His chest moved up and down quickly as he breathed. His eyes were full of rage and sadness. But he was still the Clear Sky Douluo. He had been through many battles and knew when he was losing. He knew he had to look at the situation clearly. Xiao Wu was gone.
The sacrifice was finished and there was no way to bring her back. The Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring and Spirit Bone were now part of Tang Chen. If he tried to take them by force, he would probably fail. Plus, every other strong person there would attack him.
He also noticed the other threats. The two elders, Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo, were still nearby. Then there was the Red King, the terrifying spirit beast. Red King was very strong and had just survived a massive attack from the two elders.
Tang Hao did not know if Spirit Hall had any more secret experts waiting in the shadows. If he stayed any longer, he and his son might die here. He knew that as long as they lived, there was still hope for revenge.
This thought helped him calm his anger. Tang Hao pushed down his desire to kill. He looked over at Tang San. His son was standing there like a statue. Tang San looked completely lost. He was staring at the little red spots of light left behind by Xiao Wu. He was in deep shock and did not know what to do.
He cannot stay here, Tang Hao muttered to himself. He moved like a shadow and appeared right behind Tang San. Without saying a word, he hit Tang San on the back of the neck with his palm. Tang San made a small sound as his eyes went blank. All his pain and confusion vanished as he fell unconscious. Tang Hao caught him and put him over his shoulder.
Before leaving, Tang Hao turned his head. He looked at Tang Chen with eyes full of pure hatred. He stared at the red spirit ring for a final time. You rebellious son, I will kill you one day, Tang Hao whispered coldly. I will tear you into pieces. And Spirit Hall, I will make you pay for this insult a hundred times over.
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped away. He moved so fast he looked like a beam of light. He jumped over the rocks and disappeared into the dust of the canyon. He did not look back even once.
With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Tang Hao gone, the battlefield felt different. The only Titled Douluo left who could still fight were the brothers, Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo. Not far away, the Red King was still standing. However, the giant beast looked tired. His flames were not as bright as before.
He had blocked the combined Eighth Spirit Ability of two Rank 96 Titled Douluo. Even a beast as strong as him could not walk away without injuries. His scales were cracked and dark blood was leaking out. His breath was hot and white, showing he was hurt inside.
The power of the two brothers was almost as strong as a Rank 98 Douluo when they worked together. Red King was roughly at the level of a Rank 97 human. Surviving that blast was a huge feat. But Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo were also in bad shape.
Their faces were very white. There was blood on their lips that they hadn't wiped away. Their internal energy was messy and they were breathing hard. They had to hold onto each other just to stand up. They knew they couldn't use any big skills for a while.
The three powerful beings just stared at each other. Nobody wanted to move first. It was a strange moment of silence where everyone was waiting. Suddenly, a clear and calm voice broke the silence. It sounded like a middle-aged man. The voice was steady and strong. Seven Treasures, turn out to be Glazed, the voice said.
Right after the voice spoke, a massive wave of sword energy filled the canyon. It was so sharp it felt like it could cut the air itself. Something was flying toward them at high speed. A second later, a long blue sword appeared.
It was about four feet long and looked like it was made of blue crystal. It was beautiful but carried a terrifying killing intent. The sword slammed into the ground right in the middle of the battlefield. It stood there perfectly straight like a silent guard.
