Chapter 9: It's just a domain; you're not the only one with that!
……
That's a bell!
Its entire body presents a dark yellow color, like chaos before creation and all things returning to their origin!
The surface of the bell is not smooth, but covered with countless ancient, mysterious, and incomprehensible patterns and symbols!
These patterns are not static, but rather slowly flow, appear, and disappear within the chaotic light.
It seems to depict the birth and destruction of the universe, containing the most fundamental mysteries of time, space, matter, and energy!
The bell's mouth is deep and dark, as if connected to the boundless chaotic void, exuding a terrifying aura that devours everything and melts all things!
This is: the Chaos Bell!
Cao Kun's true form of weapon spirit!
The moment this colossal chaotic bell appeared, an indescribable pressure suddenly spread out!
This oppressive aura was not the same as Tang Hao's violent and destructive energy.
Rather, it is a higher, more mysterious, and more essential... power of order!
It was as if the bell appeared to suppress the chaos, restore order, and return everything to the absolute order of the beginning of chaos!
The ferocious power carried by Tang Hao's hundred-meter-long Haotian Giant Hammer was suppressed and weakened by three-tenths in the face of this chaotic and orderly pressure, as if it had encountered its nemesis!
The light of that 100,000-year-old blood-red soul ring seemed to dim slightly!
"What?!"
For the first time, genuine shock and disbelief appeared in Tang Hao's bloodshot eyes!
He had traversed the continent and had never seen such a strange and terrifying weapon spirit!
The aura emanating from that bell even caused the very essence of his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit deep within his soul to feel a primal tremor?!
"Let me see..."
"Is your Clear Sky Hammer really that powerful?!"
Cao Kun spoke slowly and calmly.
Next second,
He suddenly swung his right hand forward, which he had been pressing down lightly.
"clang……!!!"
As Cao Kun moved, the hundred-meter-tall Chaos Bell that was suspended above his head suddenly moved!
There was no earth-shattering roar, no trajectory that tore through space.
The Chaos Bell collided head-on with the hundred-meter-long Haotian Giant Hammer in a mysterious way that seemed slow but was actually faster than one could perceive!
The chaotic runes flowing on the bell suddenly lit up, and the primordial yellow light shone brightly!
Inside the bell mouth, countless phantom images of stars being born and dying, and galaxies rotating, flashed by!
A terrifying power that suppresses eternity and melts chaos condenses on the surface of the bell!
next moment.
The Haotian Hammer and the Chaos Bell collided fiercely in the void!
then,
"Rumble...!!!!"
A terrifying roar, indescribable in words, instantly resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
The blinding light instantly engulfed everything!
Visible shockwaves, a mixture of destructive energy and spatial fragments, swept outwards from the point of impact, spreading wildly in all directions!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...!!!"
On the edge of the battlefield, the tall trees that had survived the previous aftershocks were uprooted and torn to pieces by this shockwave!
The ground was lifted up layer by layer, and the hard rocks were crushed into powder like tofu!
The raging energy turbulence was like billions of invisible blades, frantically cutting through space and making cracking sounds!
"Damn it!" Zhao Wuji, who was far away, felt an irresistible force coming towards him. Although he tried his best to resist, he was still knocked back by the shockwave!
Flanders was in a terrible state, thrown back by the violent blast of air, crashing through several tree branches before barely managing to grab onto a thick branch to steady himself.
His clothes were torn and covered in blood, and all that remained in his eyes was boundless horror and blankness!
At this time.
In the middle of the battlefield.
Tang Hao's eyes turned bloodshot, and his entire body erupted with power!
"Ahhh..."
He roared madly, pouring all his life's soul power, all his will, and the crimson energy of his 100,000-year soul ring into the hundred-meter-long Haotian Giant Hammer without reservation!
He wanted to smash that strange bell, along with that arrogant brat, into dust!
The dark hammer body shone with a bright crimson light, and countless fine crimson patterns shimmered with light, unleashing an even more ferocious aura!
However, the chaotic giant bell that crashed into them remained as steady as a mountain!
The chaotic runes flowing on the bell wall emitted an even more mysterious light, and a dark yellow halo rippled outwards.
The terrifying power of the Haotian Giant Hammer, capable of splitting mountains and seas and shattering stars, struck the Chaos Bell, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea.
It was gradually dissolved, devoured, and assimilated by that seemingly slowly rotating chaotic halo!
The feeling was as if it weren't hitting hard metal, but rather crashing into an endless, chaotic swamp that was constantly devouring power!
"impossible!!!"
Tang Hao roared in disbelief.
He could clearly feel his power, enough to shake mountains, being rapidly disintegrated by that strange bell!
What shocked him even more was that
An indescribable, eerie force, seemingly capable of dissolving the very essence of all things, is eroding the hammer body in the opposite direction, like a maggot clinging to a bone!
His soul power, his will, and even his proud killing aura all quickly became sluggish and weak in the face of this power!
Before the energy surge from the first collision had fully subsided, the two colossal figures, each a hundred meters tall, were thrown back by the turbulent energy currents.
The Chaos Bell's dark yellow light rippled slightly, while the runes flowing on its surface remained stable, as if merely being stirred by a gentle breeze.
On the other hand, the hundred-meter-long Haotian Giant Hammer had several fine cracks visible to the naked eye on its dark body!
Although extremely small,
But in Tang Hao's bloodshot eyes, there was the most piercing mockery!
Tang Hao's immense mental power was locked onto Cao Kun, who was a hundred paces away, trying to find a trace of exhaustion or strain on his face.
however,
All he saw was a bottomless calm, and beneath that calm, a faint hint of...mockery.
"Is this the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Cao Kun's voice rang out again: "Not bad, it actually withstood one-tenth of my strength."
One-tenth?!
Boom!
These words struck Tang Hao like a thunderbolt from the heavens, hitting him hard in his heart, which was already filled with rage!
His pride as the Haotian Douluo, the youngest Title Douluo on the continent, his arrogance brought by his 100,000-year-old spirit ring, and the ultimate power he pursued throughout his life...
They were completely trampled underfoot.
Grind it into powder!
"puff……!"
Overwhelmed by rage, coupled with the backlash from his previous clash with the Chaos Bell, Tang Hao could no longer suppress his anger and suddenly spat out a mouthful of scalding blood!
"you……!"
Tang Hao's furious voice rang out, each word filled with boundless hatred.
"You brat!!! You've completely enraged me!!!"
"I'll make sure you... die a horrible death!!!"
this moment,
The last shred of reason in Tang Hao's eyes was completely overwhelmed by madness!
He held nothing back, and made no further attempts to test the waters!
He was determined to use everything in his power to utterly destroy this ant before him who had humiliated him and trampled on his dignity, along with his strange clock!
"Seventh Soul Skill... Haotian True Body!"
Tang Hao roared again.
The phantom of the hundred-meter-long hammer became even more solid and imposing!
The tiny cracks on the hammer were forcibly healed under the light of the crimson soul ring!
Then,
An even more terrifying and soul-freezing aura erupted wildly from Tang Hao!
"Killing Barrier!!!"
Buzz...!!
Centered on Tang Hao, a terrifying crimson domain suddenly spread out!
In an instant, it enveloped the entire battlefield, including Cao Kun a hundred paces away, and the giant chaotic bell!
Within this domain, the world changes color!
The sky was dyed blood red, and a blood moon hung high, emitting an eerie light.
The air was thick with a nauseating stench of blood, as if one were standing amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
Countless twisted, wailing phantoms of vengeful spirits appeared and disappeared in the blood-red space, emitting silent howls and frantically assaulting people's minds!
The earth turned into dark red scorched earth, with molten lava flowing from the cracks!
An overwhelming and despair-inducing suppressive force descended.
Within this killing barrier, Tang Hao is the sole ruler!
His strength, speed, and perception were elevated to their limits.
And everything about the enemy will be weakened and eroded!
"Is this the power of a Super Douluo unleashed?!"
At the edge of the battlefield, Zhao Wuji felt the omnipresent, terrifying pressure and mental impact. His face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with horror.
Is this the power of Haotian Douluo?!
In this blood-red hell, he felt like a lamb to the slaughter, unable to even muster the slightest thought of resistance!
At this moment, Zhao Wuji's desire for power was stronger than ever before!
"A killing field?"
Cao Kun, who was at the core of the crimson barrier and surrounded and attacked by countless vengeful phantoms, merely raised an eyebrow slightly.
There was not a trace of fear on his face.
Instead, he revealed a hint of... interest?
"Not bad strength."
He commented casually, as if admiring a rare work of art.
The wailing of the vengeful spirit, powerful enough to instantly break a Contra hero's spirit, struck him, yet it was like a gentle breeze brushing across a hill, failing to shake him in the slightest.
"but……"
Cao Kun paused for a moment, then uttered eight words with disdain:
"It's just a domain; you're not the only one with that."
