Chapter 523 Shura Intervenes
But this was not enough to give Tang Hao a moment's respite.
Just then, every scale on Golden Crocodile Douluo's body stood up, shimmering with a bright golden luster, and then suddenly shot out, enveloping Tang Hao completely.
Tang Hao's mind was sharp, and he swung the Haotian Hammer in his hand rapidly and fiercely, creating countless hammer shadows that formed an impenetrable wall around his body.
Ding ding ding—
The sound of metal clashing against metal was deafening, echoing throughout the area. With the swift blows of the Haotian Hammer, golden scales were sent flying.
However, there were simply too many golden scales, numbering in the tens of thousands. No matter how fast Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer, many scales still managed to pass through the wind wall formed by the hammer's shadow and shoot towards Tang Hao's body.
Fortunately, these scales that pierced through the Hammer Shadow Wind Wall were not enough to threaten his life. All the scales that were aimed at vital points were blocked by Tang Hao with the Clear Sky Hammer.
Even so, Tang Hao's situation was not easy.
In a short while, the scales cut countless wounds on his body, making his tattered black robe even more tattered, and bloodstains splattered from the newly created holes, instantly staining his entire body red.
After all the scales exploded and attacked, Tang Hao was now covered in blood.
This time, Tang Hao really felt somewhat powerless. The Golden Crocodile Douluo's strength was simply too great. Even his ordinary soul skill attacks were so difficult to deal with.
If the opponent goes all out, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to fight back.
Tang Hao couldn't help but feel a little defeated, and his mentality and momentum even showed a hint of dejection.
But this was just the beginning. How could Golden Crocodile Douluo let him go? After the scale attack ended, he immediately pounced on Tang Hao, using his claws, crocodile mouth, and giant tail—all parts of his body that could be used as weapons—to attack Tang Hao.
Faced with the attack of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Tang Hao could only barely lift his Clear Sky Hammer, pouring as much of his soul power into it as possible, and swinging it fiercely to try his best to defend.
In a moment of carelessness, Tang Hao was struck in the chest by the giant crocodile's tail, and was sent flying through the air by the impact.
Seizing the opportunity, Golden Crocodile Douluo flashed and appeared above Tang Hao, his hands, transformed into sharp claws, slamming into Tang Hao's back.
boom--
With a dull thud, Tang Hao's body was thrown back into a bow shape by the impact, slamming headfirst into the ground.
boom--
Tang Hao's body crashed heavily into the dense forest below, shattering a large area of land and creating a giant crater with a diameter of 100 meters. The terrifying shockwave overturned and blew away all the nearby vegetation.
This shows just how terrifying the ultimate power of Golden Crocodile Douluo truly is.
Tang Hao, who was in the giant pit, suddenly felt dizzy and his whole body was falling apart. He felt a sharp pain in his spine, which almost made him faint.
Fortunately, he protected himself in time, concentrating all his soul power in his back just before Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack arrived; otherwise, his spine might have really broken.
Even so, some of the Golden Crocodile Douluo's soul power still penetrated into his body, causing him considerable injury. The stinging pain coming from his spine was due to nerve damage.
As Tang Hao gritted his teeth and endured the pain, he was even more horrified.
They were both Super Douluo, but the difference of three soul power levels was like an insurmountable chasm between them, making it impossible for him to cross.
In front of the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was at the peak of level 98, he, who was only level 95, seemed as insignificant as an ant and was almost powerless to fight back.
"Um?"
Looking at Tang Hao, who was not seriously injured in the giant pit, Golden Crocodile Douluo was obviously somewhat surprised.
He knew that his attacks wouldn't kill Tang Hao, but each of his attacks was imbued with the ultimate power of his Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul, yet they failed to inflict significant damage on Tang Hao.
This Tang Hao, who is hailed as a genius that the Haotian Sect sees only once in a hundred years, is indeed incredibly talented. No wonder the Grand Elder personally chased after him for a whole month but still failed to capture him.
I remember the High Priest mentioning afterwards that this kid seemed to have caught the eye of a certain deity and might possess divine power, so we had to be careful.
But no matter what, this person is a menace and must not be allowed to live.
With his mind made up, Golden Crocodile Douluo no longer hesitated. His spirit rings shone brightly once more, and a huge golden crocodile phantom was generated behind him, quickly solidifying into a tangible form.
"go!"
Floating above the giant pit, the Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hand, and the phantom of the golden crocodile opened its mouth, roared, and then pounced on Tang Hao at the bottom of the giant pit, as if it wanted to tear him apart.
At this very moment, at the bottom of the giant pit.
Tang Hao climbed out of the pit, shook his head to shake off the mud on his face and head, and spat out the sand and stones that had gotten into his mouth. Just as he was about to take a breath of fresh air, suddenly the hairs on his body stood on end. The Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack had come again.
In this extremely critical moment, Tang Hao had no time to think. His seventh soul ring lit up quickly, and he decisively used his seventh soul skill, Haotian True Body. His powerful soul force surged and condensed into a massive true body within his body.
The moment Haotian's true form materialized, the golden crocodile phantom pounced and arrived close.
The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand swelled in the wind, transforming into a hundred-meter-long hammer. With the support of his Martial Soul True Body, the Clear Sky Hammer was even more powerful than before, smashing the golden crocodile phantom into dust with a single blow.
The mental intimidation brought by the roar of the golden crocodile phantom was also reduced, only causing Tang Hao's movements to be slightly delayed for a moment.
But in that very instant, Golden Crocodile Douluo seized the opportunity. That's how battles between Super Douluos are; the clash often happens in the blink of an eye.
Just as Tang Hao hesitated, another golden crocodile suddenly lunged at him.
This time, the golden crocodile that attacked was no longer a phantom, but a real, tangible entity.
The golden crocodile's body was enormous, reaching a length of hundreds of feet. Its gaping maw almost completely enveloped Tang Hao's Haotian True Body, as if it wanted to devour Tang Hao's body along with the Haotian True Body.
This is the true form of the Golden Crocodile King, the Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Faced with the sudden attack from the Golden Crocodile Douluo, Tang Hao, who had broken free from the sluggishness caused by the mental intimidation, only had time to dodge a short distance to the side before his right half of his body, along with the hundred-meter-long Clear Sky Hammer in his right hand, was viciously torn off.
Fortunately, only half of the Martial Soul True Body was lost, not the whole body. As long as the soul power is replenished in time, it can be restored to its original state.
Similarly, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, which was bitten to pieces by the Golden Crocodile's true form, was also destroyed.
However, the loss of half of his Martial Soul True Body and the shattering of his Martial Soul also caused a backlash to Tang Hao, severely injuring his physical body and causing his Soul Power aura and domineering aura to drop sharply.
Damn it! This old man is too strong. I'm no match for him. I can't continue fighting him. I have to escape, or I'll surely die.
But his attacks were relentless, and I didn't even have a chance to catch my breath. How could I possibly escape his pursuit?
It seems that we have no choice but to use that method.
Noticing his soul power rapidly draining away, Tang Hao's mood grew increasingly heavy. He watched as the Golden Crocodile Douluo bit off half of his true form and then turned to pounce on him again.
He dared not hesitate any longer and immediately used the little soul power he had left to restore Haotian's true form and re-condense the martial soul Haotian Hammer.
Then, Tang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted, and in an instant, an extremely cold aura burst forth from his body.
"Domain of the God of Slaughter!"
A deep voice suddenly rang out, as if it had exploded in the air.
Tang Hao's voice wasn't loud, but the pure and domineering killing intent it contained made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
A crimson light rapidly spread from Tang Hao's body, forming a hemispherical halo in the blink of an eye, enveloping everything in the vicinity, including the Golden Crocodile Douluo who had transformed into the true form of the hundred-zhang-long Golden Crocodile King.
The area covered by the aura was similar to the Seven Kill Domain unleashed by Sword Douluo, but the killing intent contained within was completely different.
The immense killing intent was cold, chilling, evil, and terrifying, so powerful that it inspired fear. It crashed over us like a raging tide, suffocating us, and lunged at us like a ferocious beast, ready to devour us.
Golden Crocodile Douluo clearly felt that, enveloped by this immense killing intent, everything around him, including the air, seemed to have become somewhat sluggish.
This is Tang Hao's Killing God Domain.
The Killing God Domain is a reward obtained from the first trial of inheriting the Asura God's position—the Hell Road Trial in the City of Slaughter—a martial soul talent domain formed from killing intent.
When the Killing God Domain is activated, it will absorb the killing intent of the Soul Master, forming a domain that is integrated into the Martial Soul, and it will strengthen as the killing intent increases.
In the realm of the God of Slaughter.
The user's aura will be greatly enhanced, enabling them to unleash 110% of their power.
This amplification effect can also be applied to teammates.
The enemy's strength will be reduced by 10%, preventing them from unleashing their full power.
Furthermore, the increase and decrease ratios will also increase as the martial soul grows.
This is why Golden Crocodile Douluo felt everything around him slow down.
Oh? The Domain of the God of Slaughter? The materialization of killing intent? It seems even stronger than the killing intent released by that kid from the Chen family. No, this isn't just simple killing intent anymore; that kid has been to that place before.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression suddenly turned serious, but he had already made a quick judgment in his mind.
When a person's strength reaches an extremely terrifying level, their killing intent can transform from intangible to tangible, and may even reach the point of being materialized.
Even among titled Douluo, those who can achieve this level of strength are extremely rare.
The ability to condense killing intent into a domain is something that a Soul Master cannot comprehend through their own talent alone; it can only be mastered by obtaining a reward through the trials of the gods.
For example, by passing the trials of the Slaughter City and becoming a God of Slaughter walking the world, one can comprehend the skill "God of Slaughter Domain".
As far as he knew, the only people who could condense killing intent into the God of Slaughter domain were Tang Chen from back then and the current Pope Bibi Dong.
Unexpectedly, this Tang Hao, like Tang Chen and Bibi Dong, was also a contemporary killing god who came from that place.
Thinking of this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression immediately became solemn.

Spirit world.
In a magnificent and beautiful place, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland, a blood-red palace stands majestically.
Inside the crimson palace, a tall, blood-red figure, clad in crimson armor and wielding a massive crimson sword, sat upon the Blood Sword Throne.
This is the Temple of Asura. The blood-red figure sitting on the Blood Sword Throne is none other than the God of Law Enforcement, who controls the order of the God Realm, and is also one of the Five Great God Kings, the God of Asura.
The blood-red giant sword he held in his hand was naturally his divine weapon, the Asura Divine Sword.
At this moment, the Asura God had his eyes closed and was surrounded by a terrifying blood-red aura, as if he were cultivating.
The Asura God is a deity who attained enlightenment through slaughter. The crimson aura surrounding him is his original power, the aura of slaughter.
In order to prevent the God of Destruction from discovering his secret interference in the Douluo World, the God of Destruction stopped paying attention to the Douluo World after he had successfully guided a certain rabbit to his chosen pawn. He was unaware of what happened afterward.
After all, once the God of Destruction discovers the clues and obtains evidence of his breaking the law, his plan to disrupt the rules of divine succession in the divine realm, secretly interfere in the mortal world, and cultivate successors will most likely fall through.
One day in the realm of gods is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm.
Eight years have passed in the Douluo World, and correspondingly, the God of Asura has been in a state of cultivation for eight days.
No matter how much he cultivated, he could never advance any further in his cultivation level.
The peak of the God King realm is the highest level that the God Realm can allow. If one wants to go further, one must abandon the Asura Godhood, go to a higher world, and comprehend higher cultivation laws.
The position of Asura God is a combination of power, responsibility, and also imprisonment and constraint.
The Asura Godhood granted him supreme power and eternal life, but it also limited his possibility of stepping into a higher world and reaching a higher level of life.
This is why the God of Asura is in such a hurry to cultivate a successor to take over the position of God of Asura.
Of course, he did not intend to completely relinquish the position of the Asura God; he simply needed a pawn to occupy the position for him and ensure that the Asura God's position would not be stolen by others.
If he fails to cultivate in a higher world, he can return to the God Realm and continue to hold the position of the Asura God.
This was his way out.
…………
Just then, the Asura God suddenly opened his eyes, and blood-red light burst forth from them. His killing intent surged wildly like a tornado.
He sensed that one of the Asura marks he had left on Douluo Continent had suddenly been activated.
The blood-red light that had been shooting from his eyes subsided slightly, and the Asura God's gaze followed the direction he had sensed.
Their gaze quickly fell upon the target who had triggered the Asura Mark.
A burly man, dressed in slovenly clothes, was the father of the pawn he had chosen in the Douluo World, seemingly an ant named Tang Hao.
On the opposite side of the ant was another ant, but it seemed to be stronger.
At this moment, both ants had unleashed their strongest killing moves and were about to engage in a life-or-death duel. If nothing unexpected happened, the ant named Tang Hao would undoubtedly die.
However.
Accidents often stem from human error.
Seeing that Tang Hao was about to be defeated and die, the God of Asura remained expressionless and indifferent. With a slight raise of his hand, a wisp of thin red mist condensed at his fingertips. The red mist shot out and fell directly from the God Realm into the Douluo World.
And so.
And just like that, the unexpected happened.
