Douluo: Starting with a self-created soul ring

**Chapter 155: Tang Hao was unwilling to give in**

Soon, Gu Ziyi and Tang Hao arrived outside the Hall of Elders and stared at each other a few meters apart.

Tang Chen and the others also came out to watch.

"It looks like there's a lot of excitement here, let's take a closer look!"

"I'm here to see the commotion too!"

"..."

After Qian Daoliu and the others exited, the Worshippers from the lower buildings of the Hall of Elders also appeared.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others also appeared.

They had all been meditating inside the buildings. It was rare to see two excellent juniors competing, so they naturally wanted to witness this match.

"Gu Ziyi, summon your Martial Soul!"

Tang Hao also noticed the tall figures gathering for the fight and felt how powerful they were, but at this moment, he no longer had eyes for anyone other than his opponent, and he spoke directly to Gu Ziyi.

Boom—

When Gu Ziyi summoned his Martial Soul, Tang Hao also summoned his own Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Hammer mixed with red lightning looked extremely domineering.

"Death God's Domain · Open!"

Immediately after summoning his Martial Soul, Tang Hao unleashed his Death God's Domain without hesitation.

Because he knew very well that at the same level, if he didn't activate his Death God's Domain, it would be hard for him to defeat Gu Ziyi unless he used the explosive ring.

But he didn't want to use the explosive ring immediately, or he didn't think Gu Ziyi could force him to use the explosive ring, so he just released his Death God's Domain.

Boom—

Tang Hao's bloodshot eyes exploded with a terrible soul pressure, moving toward Gu Ziyi.

A huge Death God's Domain instantly enveloped him.

"Death God's Domain?!"

"As expected of the grandson of the Haotian Douluo, he truly mastered the Death God's Domain!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were a little surprised when they saw Tang Hao displaying his domain.

Although the Haotian Douluo title was currently inherited by Tang Chen's son, Tang Wei, in their eyes, they still thought only Tang Chen was worthy of the Haotian Douluo title.

"Tai Chi Domain · Open!"

Buzz—

Facing his opponent's Death God's Domain, Gu Ziyi had to use his Tai Chi Domain, otherwise, he would be too passive against his opponent's domain.

A huge Tai Chi pattern unfolded from Gu Ziyi's feet.

"Is this the Holy Son's Domain?"

"It must be, this was awakened by the Holy Son when he was at the Soul Ancestor stage, this wasn't acquired recently!"

"..."

Seeing Gu Ziyi's Tai Chi Domain being released, Douluo Luan Azure and the others also observed with curiosity.

Compared to Tang Hao's Death God's Domain, they felt that Gu Ziyi's domain was even rarer.

After all, he awakened his own. This can only be depended on if the Soul Master has some special talent.

As for the Death God's Domain, it is acquired through external means. In terms of talent, the Soul Master is definitely not as good as a Soul Master who has their own domain awakened.

However, they didn't dare to say that the Death God's Domain wasn't a powerful domain.

Because the difficulty of obtaining this domain is nothing easier than awakening one on your own.

If it were that easy, they would have gone to the Massacre City long ago to acquire one for themselves.

Is it because they don't want a domain?

Definitely not!

It's because they don't dare to take the risk.

In other words, there's no need to work hard for a domain.

Entering the Massacre City, they could be killed. They finally cultivated to the titled Douluo level, so naturally, they weren't willing to risk their lives.

For just a domain, it's not worth it.

"Gu Ziyi, be careful with your moves!"

After seeing that Gu Ziyi had released his Tai Chi Domain, Tang Hao grabbed his Clear Sky Hammer and rushed toward him.

"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!"

Boom—

Tang Hao's first move was the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.

In previous battles, he preferred to use his self-created soul abilities from the Haotian Sect and rarely used the abilities from his Soul Rings.

Because for those who possess the Martial Soul – Clear Sky Hammer, the Clear Sky Sect's Techniques are indeed much stronger and can exert more power than most soul abilities.

His soul abilities from the Soul Rings, unless they were the eighth or ninth soul abilities, are really much weaker than those of the Clear Sky Sect's Techniques.

Moreover, after realizing that using too many ring explosions would destroy the soul ability of his Soul Ring, Tang Hao no longer wanted to rely on using his own soul abilities.

"Fifth Soul Ability: Fire Red Lotus Talisman!"

Facing Tang Hao's attack, Gu Ziyi calmly summoned a Fire Red Lotus Talisman.

"Fire Red Lotus Talisman: Appear, Dragon!"

Roar—

Then Gu Ziyi struck the Fire Red Lotus Talisman suspended in front of him with his finger, and a fierce fire dragon appeared with a roar from the talisman and rushed toward Tang Hao.

Boom—

Seeing this, Tang Hao advanced with his hammer and crushed his opponent's soul ability.

Tang Hao, who had gone through the Massacre City experience and cultivated the Great Sumeru Hammer, had become quite powerful now.

The Clear Sky Sect's technique was displayed in his hands and became even more powerful.

"Die!"

After repelling Gu Ziyi's attack, Tang Hao roared in anger, swung his Clear Sky Hammer, and attacked again.

Whoosh~

Gu Ziyi jumped back, dodging the attack, and another talisman formed in the air.

"Sixth Soul Ability: Thunder Control Talisman!"

"Five Thunderbolts!"

Boom—

Several thunders and lightning gathered in the air, then all targeted Tang Hao.

"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!"

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

Gu Ziyi and Tang Hao began a fierce clash of abilities.

Each of Tang Hao's strikes was extremely violent.

Even though his attacks seemed ferocious, he still couldn't get close to Gu Ziyi. His opponent used a hit-and-run style to completely control the pace of the battle.

Tang Hao not only failed to get close to him but also had to constantly defend against Gu Ziyi's attacks.

Gu Ziyi used his soul abilities in various ways, employing several Fire Red Lotus and Thunder Control techniques.

For a moment, Tang Hao was trapped in his opponent's battle rhythm.

"Is that all you can do?"

"If that's all, then there's no need to continue this fight!"

Gu Ziyi taunted while maintaining control of the battle's pace.

"Damn!"

Facing his ridicule, Tang Hao gritted his teeth.

He hadn't expected that, even after becoming stronger, he would still be so trapped when facing Gu Ziyi.

"Seventh Soul Ability: Haotian Incarnation!"

Boom—

The furious Tang Hao immediately summoned the true form of his Martial Soul.

He had guessed that Gu Ziyi would be very powerful, but he did not expect to be forced to use the true form of his Martial Soul so quickly.

Once Tang Hao displayed the true form of his Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand grew larger and much more powerful.

The soul skill Gu Ziyi had used was now easily destroyed by him.

"Chaos Mantle Hammering Technique (Hammer of Disorder, Division, Wind)!"

After showcasing the true form of his Martial Soul, Tang Hao even used the Chaos Mantle Hammering Technique. One could say that, aside from the Sumeru Great Hammer and the explosive ring, he was using nearly all his strength.

"Finally showing some strength, huh? Yes, this is something to appreciate!"

Seeing Tang Hao's appearance, Gu Ziyi smiled and nodded.

"Damn it, go to hell!"

Boom—

Seeing Gu Ziyi dare to be so disdainful in the face of his almost full attack, Tang Hao became furious and continued attacking with blows from the Chaos Mantle Hammering Technique.

"The Mysterious Temple of the Nine Heavens transforms into divine thunder, and the brilliant power of the sky is drawn by the talismans!"

Boom—

Facing Tang Hao's frenzied attack, Gu Ziyi finally combined the spell from his sixth soul skill.

Boom—

Suddenly, the color of the sky and earth changed, and countless thunders gathered in the sky, falling one by one toward Gu Ziyi.

Finally, he also entered the Thunder God state.

In this form, the power of the Thunder Control soul skill displayed by Gu Ziyi surged dramatically.

At first, Tang Hao was shocked by his opponent's appearance. After striking him with the Chaos Mantle Hammering Technique, he realized his opponent was twice as strong, but still not as powerful as him under the blessing of his Martial Soul's true form.

"Well, it seems it will be a bit troublesome if I don't use the true form of my Martial Soul!"

Gu Ziyi did not panic upon seeing the outcome but sighed, feeling a little disturbed.

"Seventh Soul Skill: True Body of the Martial Soul!"

Buzz—

Then, he displayed his seventh soul skill.

Of course, what Gu Ziyi was referring to was the true form of his Martial Soul, but what he actually used was the Law of Heaven and Earth (Fa Tian Xiang Di).

In an instant, a golden shadow that resembled Gu Ziyi exactly rose from his body and lifted itself from the ground.

While he was in the Thunder God state and after using the Law of Heaven and Earth (Fa Tian Xiang Di), the lightning state also appeared in the golden form, making the Law of Heaven and Earth (Fa Tian Xiang Di) look even more mysterious and powerful.

"The highest level of the true Martial Soul body?"

"How is that possible…"

Everyone was shocked when they saw Gu Ziyi's Martial Soul avatar.

Including Qian Daoliu, who, for the first time, realized that Gu Ziyi had mastered the highest level of his Martial Soul avatar and could still condense the very figure of the Soul Master.

Looking at the huge shadow around him, Tang Hao felt an enormous pressure weighing down on him.

This made him very unhappy, as he felt the gap between them.

Without the Sumeru Great Hammer and the Explosive Ring, he wouldn't have any confidence in facing Gu Ziyi, who had already mastered the highest level of the Martial Soul avatar.

"If that's all you can do, it's time to end this!"

Gu Ziyi ignored Tang Hao's feelings, stretched out his hand, and used his talisman drawing skill to condense a Concealment Talisman.

Buzz—

Immediately after, Gu Ziyi's oppressive figure disappeared before Tang Hao's eyes.

"Concealment?"

"How is this possible..."

Tang Hao was shocked to see such a large figure of his opponent suddenly vanish without any trace at the spot.

"Concealment?"

"What kind of soul skill is this? I can't feel his presence at all..."

"..."

Not only was Tang Hao shocked, but the Worshippers also widened their eyes at that moment. Except for two of them who had the highest perception abilities, they could vaguely feel Gu Ziyi's aura, but no one else could sense him.

"This is my ability?"

"When did the Smelly Little Brother master this skill? He actually drew it directly onto a talisman!"

Only Bibi Dong knew best that what her older brother had just exhibited was his own soul skill.

However, she was also very surprised by his feat. She didn't know he had mastered the skill of drawing blank talismans on his own, without external assistance.

Now soul skills could be directly represented without using a soul bone.

Bang—

On the battlefield, Gu Ziyi's figure quickly reappeared and kicked Tang Hao away.

Whoosh~

Immediately after, his figure disappeared once again.

"Annoying!"

"Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Boom—

Facing Gu Ziyi's attacks that could come from anywhere and at any time, Tang Hao dared not hold back anymore and directly used the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Buzz—

"Here!"

With the help of the impact from his Great Sumeru Hammer Soul Power and the Death God's Domain, Tang Hao finally located Gu Ziyi.

Boom—

Tang Hao then swung the Great Sumeru Hammer and hit his position with great force.

"Not bad that you managed to locate me!"

Facing Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer, Gu Ziyi dodged and avoided the attack.

Then, his Laws of Heaven and Earth (Fa Tian Xiang Di) quickly shrank in size, and eventually, the golden figure overlapped with his own figure.

Gu Ziyi was still Gu Ziyi, but now there was a golden vertical eye on his forehead and between his brows.

"In that case, let's defeat you head-on!"

"Third Soul Skill: Golden Light Talisman!"

Gu Ziyi looked seriously at Tang Hao, then extended his hand, and countless Golden Light Talismans condensed in front and behind him.

This is his ability after using the golden figure; he can summon a large number of talismans at once.

Gu Ziyi used to summon dozens of talismans at the same time, but now he could summon thousands of golden talismans instantly.

"Golden Light Sword - Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

Swish—

Swish—

Gu Ziyi waved his right hand, and all the Golden Light Talismans transformed into Golden Light Swords, then all flew toward Tang Hao under his gesture.

For a moment, thousands of swords were shot at once, densely packed with golden sword shadows attacking Tang Hao.

"Damn, Sumeru Great Hammer!"

Boom—

Facing such a terrifying number of attacks from Gu Ziyi, Tang Hao could only use the Sumeru Great Hammer again to defend himself.

Boom—

His Sumeru Great Hammer was even stronger, but Gu Ziyi's movements were used both to block and launch a massive attack.

"Is the third soul skill not enough? Then try this!"

"Sixth Soul Skill: Thunder Control Talisman!"

"Thousands of thunders have been unleashed, let them destroy the heavens and the earth!"

With a wave of his hand, Gu Ziyi summoned thousands of other Thunder Control Talismans, each bursting with astonishing lightning and thunder, all aimed at Tang Hao.

The deterrence that erupted this time was several times more destructive than before.

Not to mention Tang Hao, even the Adorations changed their expressions when they saw Gu Ziyi's move.

Even Tang Chen's expression became serious.

He knew that Tang Hao would not be able to block this kind of attack unless he used the explosive ring.

"Old rival, don't you think you should stop this fight?"

Seeing that Tang Chen didn't move, Qian Daoliu beside him became a little nervous.

He didn't want to see Tang Hao die at Gu Ziyi's hands.

"No need, Hao'er still has some cards up his sleeve!"

Tang Chen shook his head calmly.

"Is it the explosion of the ring?"

Qian Daoliu immediately understood after hearing his words.

"Gu Ziyi, you're forcing me to do this!"

"Now let me show you the most powerful ability of our Haotian Sect!"

"Ahhhhh..."

"The Mystery of the Sumeru Great Hammer – Ring Explosion!"

Sure enough, when Tang Hao saw Gu Ziyi's attack on the battlefield, he quickly retracted all his Soul Rings and condensed them into his palm, then shook them vigorously!

Boom—

…
