Tang Sui, after failing in a single strike, pulled back to a safe distance, hovering in mid-air. Across a few shorter snow-capped peaks, he observed Xiao Wu and the others, their expressions varied.
Watching the five elders ascend, a worried look crossed Xiao Wu's beautiful face. "Five Titled Douluo... I didn't expect them to join forces directly, leaving Xiao San and Sui Sui at a disadvantage, unable to restrain the five elders."
"The formation is just a vessel; the true power lies in the combined attack technique that the five elders have forged together over the years, integrated with the formation," Tang Xiao said, his face growing even more serious as he watched the dark blue great formation take shape.
Each occupying a peak, the five elders formed a pentagonal formation. Simultaneously, they unleashed their Clear Sky Hammer True Bodies. The connected formation allowed their five energies to merge in an instant.
Under immense pressure, the very air seemed to solidify.
A purple-gold divine light shot from Tang San's azure eyes. Blue-gold halos emanated from his body, and countless points of blue-gold light instantly appeared in the air, dispelling distorted waves. Su Dan Novel Network.
One by one, spirit rings emerged from beneath Tang San's feet. With each additional spirit ring, his aura grew more profound.
"First combined attack, Hammer Shakes Heaven and Earth!"
The Second Elder bellowed. Enveloped by pillars of black light, the five individuals simultaneously raised their massive Clear Sky Hammers towards the sky. The hammers, each with subtle variations, unleashed even denser black light. They surged skyward, converging in mid-air to form a single stream that instantly shattered the Blue Silver Domain.
"Buzz—"
Tang Sui narrowed his eyes. A swirling vortex of dark domain erupted behind him, and he plunged into it, disappearing without a trace.
At the same moment, the seventh blood-red halo surrounding Tang San began to glow.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Blue Silver True Body!"
The blue-gold light completely enveloped Tang San's body. Countless golden threads erupted from his expanding and rising Blue Silver energy true body, appearing within the re-established Blue Silver Domain. They filled the space like dense, web-like threads but could not penetrate the pentagonal formation formed by the five elders.
These were the Devouring Golden Threads that came with Tang San's Blue Silver True Body, capable of absorbing spirit power and mental energy. However, upon approaching the five elders, they were repelled by the continuous vibrations emanating from the black light pillars, which also weakened the defensive enhancement of the Blue Silver Domain.
With a thunderous "boom," Tang San's ethereal Blue Silver True Body met the condensed blue-black hammer shadow descending from above.
"Bang bang bang—!"
The sky changed color, thunder roared, and snow swirled on the ground, obscuring vision.
The direct disciples, who had finally endured the onslaught of wind and snow, looked up. Both Tang Sui and Tang San had vanished. Only the five elders standing on their respective peaks remained, along with the blue-black Clear Sky Great Formation glowing between heaven and earth.
"Is... is it over already?" a direct disciple lowered their hands, looking around in confusion. Seeing no sign of Tang San, they spoke in bewilderment.
The disciple next to them shifted from surprise to disdain. "Tch, I didn't expect these siblings to be so boastful yet so fragile."
White snow fluttered down.
The mist-shrouded snow-capped peaks finally revealed their true appearance.
A thick Blue Silver Emperor vine coiled into a sphere, and vines that had erupted from the surrounding ground slowly unfurled, revealing the well-protected Tang San.
"How is that possible?! He blocked our first combined attack with just a single Blue Silver Grass?!" The Fifth Elder's eyes widened in astonishment, their focus shaken by Tang San.
Tang San, unharmed, looked up at the Second Elder, whose spirit power was the highest among them. His eyes, covered in a layer of purple-gold light, reflected the spirit power continuously flowing towards the center of the great formation, which had not yet reached its critical point. His expression was inscrutable.
It seemed each combined attack required a period of charging to complete.
Sensing this, a cold smile curved Tang San's lips.
Seizing this opportunity, the golden divine seal on his brow lit up, spewing forth intense golden light. On the snow-covered peak, the divine light of the Sea God Trident blazed, and the moment it appeared, the heavy clouds above were dyed with golden hues.
On the Sea God Trident, the ancient and intricate golden patterns seemed to come alive. Golden light rippled like water across the three prongs, smooth as a mirror and imbued with an incredibly sacred aura.
This terrifying yet sacred pressure erupted from Tang San, causing the rising momentum of the five elders to falter. Under the divine might of the Sea God, the brilliance of mortals was forcefully pushed back.
Amidst deafening roars,
"What is that—!"
Tang Xiao and the others, upon seeing the Sea God Trident appear, gasped with surprise, their hearts pounding faster.
Even without having visited Sea God Island, Tang Chen's memoirs left behind after his return to the sect from Sea God Island described the divine artifact symbolizing the Sea God's might—the Sea God Trident!
They never expected Tang San to possess such a divine artifact!
The Second Elder suppressed the shock in his eyes, regained his composure, raised his Clear Sky Hammer, infused it with a surge of spirit power, and spoke in a deep voice, "Preparing for the second combined attack!"
"We won't give you the advantage again!"
Tang San leaped into the air, red light rippling out as his eighth spirit ring illuminated.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Orca Demon's Grasp!"
"Careful, it's another hundred-thousand-year eighth spirit ability!" The Second Elder's warning nearly overlapped with Tang San's cry.
He glanced at the center of the great formation, which still required time to charge, his eyes sharpening. His eighth spirit ring glowed brilliantly. He raised his Clear Sky Hammer spirit avatar, condensed into a mountain-sized form of pure energy in the air, and ferociously smashed it towards Tang San:
"I'll hold him off first; you all continue charging the combined attack!"
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Sky-Piercing Strike!"
The Second Elder's strongest single-target attack descended towards Tang San. The air shattered into pale red crystals wherever the hammer head passed!
This was because the Second Elder's Sky-Piercing Strike's offensive power even surpassed his ninth spirit ability. Its most formidable aspect was its self-locking nature, making it impossible to dodge.
Now that the Second Elder's target was set on Tang San, it meant Tang San could only face it.
This was the strongest single-target attack among the five Titled Douluo!
"This is what I was waiting for!"
Tang San moved his Sea God Trident. An energy-infused blue-gold phantom rippled outward. Simultaneously, Tang San's eyes, meeting the Second Elder's, shot out two blue-gold beams of light, hitting the Second Elder.
A stinging sensation in his eyes and brain swept over the Second Elder. He let out a muffled groan, and crimson blood trickled from the corners of his eyes and ears.
The expressions of the other four elders changed dramatically. The hot-tempered Seventh Elder even began to retract his hands, which were transmitting power to the great formation, intending to go to his aid.
