Chapter 152: Baal-Zebub, I Have Ascended to Godhood!
"Hmph, still too young after all!"
Tang Hao snorted coldly, feeling somewhat disdainful as he mused to himself.
A domain of such vast range would require an enormous amount of soul power to maintain. It looked formidable, but in reality, it was like a castle in the sky...
For a mere Soul Saint, how long could he sustain this with his limited soul power? Once Kong's soul power was exhausted, Tang Hao wouldn't even need to put in any effort—Kong's death would be inevitable!
He had to admit, this domain was indeed powerful, but Kong's soul power was just too low!
Fortunately, Kong was unaware of Tang Hao's thoughts; otherwise, he might have proven him wrong. The Thunder God Domain, despite its vast and powerful appearance, consumed minimal soul power.
With the replenishment from the Wheel of All-Seeing Eyes and his soul core, any soul power consumed was swiftly restored. If Kong's stamina and mental strength could keep up, this domain was practically a perpetual motion machine.
The Wheel of All-Seeing Eyes absorbed ambient energy around them, while the soul core continued to operate automatically. With both working in tandem, it was almost impossible for him to run out of soul power!
Despite not having a beast martial spirit, Tang Hao, as a Titled Douluo, had a body strengthened by nine soul rings, including a hundred-thousand-year ring.
Moreover, he possessed a full set of six soul bones. Although the display of lightning was impressive, it only slightly hindered his movements.
As time passed, Tang Hao's expression grew increasingly grim, his face darkening nearly to the color of charcoal.
It had already been half an hour!
Up above, the thunderclouds remained as fierce as ever, their power undiminished.
Kong, calm and unruffled, showed no signs of exhaustion. His soul power seemed hardly touched, leaving Tang Hao in disbelief!
The Clear Sky Sect had extensively studied the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and due to the martial spirit's attributes, although it was powerful, it couldn't sustain prolonged combat.
Lightning attributes were among the most explosive, requiring more soul power than other attributes. Generally, a lightning-attribute soul master would be formidable for a short period; if one could withstand the initial burst, their power would drop off dramatically afterward.
Though Kong's martial spirit wasn't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it did possess the lightning attribute.
What was going on?
"Could it be… this kid isn't a Soul Saint?"
Tang Hao fell into doubt. He was a Level 95 Super Douluo—how could he possibly mistake a Soul Saint's level of cultivation?
He shook his head, unwilling to believe he was mistaken. Kong was undoubtedly a Level 73 Soul Saint; however, his soul power was as deep and boundless as an ocean!
Tang Hao hadn't expected such a rapid turn of events. Half an hour ago, he was confident that Kong's soul power would quickly deplete, yet here they were—Kong, wielding his domain effortlessly, as if it were a game!
A monster of rare talent, indeed!
"No, I must unleash my full power and end him here!" Tang Hao resolved internally, his gaze growing sharper.
His original plan was to kill Kong without revealing his full strength to avoid aggravating his injuries and secure the greatest advantage at the smallest cost.
But he realized he couldn't handle Kong in his usual state; this was getting embarrassing!
To think that Tang Hao, the youngest Titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent, would be so troubled by a mere Soul Saint!
"Kid, blame yourself for being too talented. Remember, in your next life, stay humble unless you possess absolute power!"
Tang Hao spoke softly as his seventh soul ring began to glow.
"True Clear Sky Form!"
In an instant, the shaft of Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer extended to over three meters, while the hammerhead expanded to the size of a small mountain.
Seeing this, Kong's lips curled slightly. He knew Tang Hao was finally getting desperate!
Unable to defeat him in a short time, and with his body still suffering from injuries, Tang Hao was growing impatient. If he didn't kill Kong here, he feared Kong would join forces with the old dragon to relentlessly hunt down him and Tang San.
"So, a true martial spirit avatar? Ever since I acquired my seventh soul ring, I've yet to use my own avatar."
"Seventh Soul Skill: Divine Strike of Wrathful Thunder!"
As Kong's seventh soul ring lit up, his form began to change. His attire transformed into a fusion of white and purple—a hooded robe. Atop his head, two horn-like ornaments appeared, resembling dragon horns.
A pair of massive hands reached out from the void, lifting Kong into the air. Following that, several more violet arms tore through the space behind him, and the largest hand gripped an enormous Engulfing Lightning.
Tang Hao: "???"
What's going on? No, seriously, what is going on?!
They both used their martial spirit avatars, both had tool martial spirits—so why was there such a massive gap?
Tang Hao's martial spirit avatar simply made the Clear Sky Hammer larger, but Kong's avatar didn't just enlarge the Engulfing Lightning. This was far from the typical transformation.
Martial spirit avatars came in all shapes and sizes, so such variety wasn't too surprising.
But Kong's avatar was downright absurd!
His form seemed closer to a beast martial spirit's armor avatar, and the gigantic hands behind him resembled a beast martial spirit's true form. Meanwhile, his polearm had only grown slightly larger, somewhat in line with a regular tool martial spirit avatar.
If it were just one anomaly, Tang Hao wouldn't have been so confused, but this wasn't just a single anomaly!
Kong's seventh soul skill, Divine Strike of Wrathful Thunder, was designed based on the second form of the Thunder General, a different form entirely from typical martial spirit avatars!
This was why Kong's seventh soul skill wasn't merely a simple enlargement of Engulfing Lightning.
His martial spirit avatar could also be called a "divine armor form."
"Baal-Zebub, I have ascended to godhood!"
Oops, wrong line...
"Tang Hao, you'll be the first to die under my divine armor form!"
"You can die with honor!"
As Kong finished speaking, the arm that was holding Engulfing Lightning vanished, seemingly hidden within the void.
Tang Hao: "?????"
What the hell?!
Everyone agreed on martial spirit avatars, and you suddenly bust out a divine armor form!
Wait, what even is a divine armor form??
Tang Hao had no time to think further as the space behind him shattered. A giant hand emerged, wielding Engulfing Lightning, slashing toward him!
Carrying the unparalleled power of lightning, it seemed capable of tearing through space itself, causing Tang Hao's heart to quake in fear.
"I could die!"
Tang Hao's pupils shrank as he realized he couldn't afford to be careless. He could no longer hold back—if he didn't go all out against Kong, today would surely be his end!
He had to stop restraining himself. If he didn't kill this "great enemy" today, Kong would become a future threat he couldn't afford to ignore.
"Ring Explosion!"
With a furious roar, Tang Hao's first soul ring shattered with a thunderous boom, but the energy from just one ring wasn't enough.
His second soul ring shattered next, followed by the third, and then the fourth, until the sixth...
