Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Heavens

Lin Xiao realized something was wrong.

The terrifying killing intent emanating from Tang San, along with the Asura God's Power imbued in the Clear Sky Hammer, revealed an obvious truth:

The Asura God was playing favorites.

Logically, when two inheritors of godhood fought to the death, the Asura God should either protect the weaker one or strictly forbid the inheritors from killing each other prematurely.

But the Asura God had chosen to empower Tang San instead.

This perplexing choice was a warning to Lin Xiao.

If he didn't undertake the Asura God's Trial, Tang San would gain a significant advantage and could very well defeat him in the final battle.

Wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San, who had completely lost his reason, was like a rabid dog, biting indiscriminately.

Lin Xiao gradually became enraged as well.

"Golden Crow Patrolling the Heavens, activate!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Pale Hell!"

Lin Xiao activated his Golden Crow Domain, entering a state of God's perspective. His pupils turned golden, and within them, a great sun seemed to rise, his eyes burning like torches as he continuously analyzed Tang San's weaknesses.

Simultaneously, endless Pale Flames formed a fiery domain, continuously absorbing heat from Tang San and feeding it back to Lin Xiao.

Using Tang San's vitality and heat as fuel, it nourished countless surging flames!

Tang San's situation became precarious.

Suddenly.

Tang San gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in both hands, assuming a powerful stance. His waist twisted, causing the Clear Sky Hammer to spin. Among the Clear Sky Hammer's eight Soul Rings, the first ten-thousand-year Soul Ring detonated.

"Great Sumeru Hammer Ultimate Secret Art!"

"Ring Detonation!!!"

A terrifying power erupted.

Already amplified by the Asura God, Tang San's strength experienced an explosive surge. This unleashed attack was powerful enough to heavily injure a Super Douluo.

Facing the Clear Sky Hammer, which shot towards him like a comet colliding with an asteroid, trailing a fiery tail.

Lin Xiao's Phoenix True Body instantly dissolved, transforming into countless crimson flames, a manifestation of the elementalization ability from the Nirvana Phoenix Transformation!

The Clear Sky Hammer smashed through the flames with a loud bang, but in a mere instant, the flames reformed.

Elementalization wasn't without its weaknesses. When dispersed by a powerful attack and unable to re-aggregate within a short period, if hit by a spatial interruption Soul Skill or a Soul Skill that forcibly separated the flames, it would be troublesome if they couldn't recombine.

Fortunately.

Tang San, whose Martial Soul was merely the ordinary Blue Silver Grass and who excelled in power and explosive force with the Clear Sky Hammer, did not possess such abilities.

The flames coalesced, reforming Lin Xiao's body.

Lin Xiao stood with his upper body bare, his red hair wild, yet exuding a noble aura. His muscles were sculpted as if by divine craftsmanship, embodying the peak of explosive power and strength, yet still maintaining a streamlined softness.

"Ring Detonation?"

"How many Soul Rings do you have to detonate?"

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot.

What kind of elementalization was this? As long as the power was strong enough, even flames would be extinguished!

"Great Sumeru Hammer! Detonating all seven rings!"

Whether it was the madness of complete loss of reason or the recklessness born from the Asura God's backing, Tang San chose to go all out, detonating all his Soul Rings for that instantaneous, unstoppable absolute power.

Lin Xiao's eyes blazed with golden light.

Ring Detonation was a unique divine skill of the Clear Sky Hammer. Its principle was to shatter the user's own Soul Ring structure, instantly releasing all the energy stored within the Soul Rings, converting it entirely into attack or defense power, achieving an explosive burst of strength beyond one's own level in a short period.

However, the drawback was that after detonating the rings, Soul Rings typically required 36 days to recover naturally, placing an immense burden on the body. Overuse could cause irreversible damage.

But was Ring Detonation truly an exclusive skill of the Clear Sky Hammer?

The technique of Ring Detonation wasn't difficult; it merely involved disrupting the Soul Ring's structure to release all its energy at once.

The truly demanding requirement was that Ring Detonation placed extremely high demands on the Martial Soul, requiring one with exceptional pressure resistance. Even detonating a single hundred-year Soul Ring on an ordinary Martial Soul would cause irreversible damage.

But the incredibly sturdy nature of the Clear Sky Hammer gave it the resilience to attempt such a suicidal move.

Lin Xiao's Great Sun Golden Eyes had already deciphered Tang San's method of Ring Detonation. In fact, he didn't need to observe Tang San; he could detonate his own rings himself, but guiding the power required skill.

"Detonate, detonate, detonate."

"I'll let you detonate to your heart's content!"

Lin Xiao's eyes blazed with golden light, his soul power surging. Eight Soul Rings appeared behind him.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Dark Gold! Red! Red!

A far more terrifying Soul Ring configuration than Tang San's!

"Ring Detonation, I can do it too!"

Lin Xiao opened his palm, then clenched it tightly. The five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings and two hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings on his body suddenly detonated, unleashing a surge of immense energy like a tidal wave.

He didn't detonate that million-year dark-gold soul ring because it was unnecessary, and he was also a little hesitant to do so.

In Lin Xiao's view, the quality of his Phoenix Martial Soul was high enough, and the properties of Nirvana were no less than the sturdiness of the Clear Sky Hammer.

If the Clear Sky Hammer could be detonated, why couldn't he?

In fact, because he inherited Feng Yu's Nirvana properties, Lin Xiao's body had extremely strong self-healing capabilities. What was a significant physical burden for Tang San and Tang Hao might not even be an issue for him.

The immense energy generated by Lin Xiao's ring detonation transformed into a giant fire phoenix, colliding with the Clear Sky Hammer that shot towards him like a mountain.

"Boom!"

The terrifying explosion produced extreme annihilation power.

The Clear Sky Hammer vanished the moment it was detonated.

Tang San's face turned pale, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his spirit greatly weakened.

Meanwhile, the massive fire phoenix continued its charge unabated, heading towards Tang San as if carrying a sea of flames to incinerate him to ashes.

In the God Realm, the Asura God, who had been closely observing the battle, was greatly alarmed, his expression changing drastically.

"Even with my assistance, Tang San still lost so thoroughly?"

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The gap between the two inheritors of divine positions was like the difference between heaven and earth.

The Asura God couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.

If Lin Xiao had obediently inherited the Asura God position, why would he still bother with Tang San!

However, the other party seemed to have completely disregarded the Asura God's Trial. Ever since he killed a hundred-thousand-year soul beast during his trip to the Extreme North, Lin Xiao hadn't touched the Asura God's Trial again!

You're amazing! You're noble!

Treating my Asura God's Trial as mere amusement!

Just as the massive fire phoenix was about to completely engulf Tang San, a blood-red Asura barrier appeared before it. The fire phoenix, with its heaven-burning flames, merely rippled upon colliding with this Asura barrier; the boundless energy explosion didn't harm it in the slightest.

Lin Xiao pursed his lips.

What a cheat.

Although it felt great when he used the Asura God Sword to bully Di Tian, Lin Xiao's mood soured when the Asura God became a protective shell for Tang San.

Before the blood-red Asura barrier could dissipate, Lin Xiao had already turned around and headed back.

He was going home to find Aunt Ye.

Detonating rings was exhilarating, but it was indeed taxing.

This was true even with Nirvana's properties.

The stronger the soul ring detonated, the greater the burden on the body.

Lin Xiao suspected that Tang Hao's body had been tampered with by the Asura God. Otherwise, how could he have been repeatedly on the brink of death and then fully revived?

Every time he was about to die, he could still go wild the next time.
