Chapter 338 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [338]
From the perspective of the two great beast kings, a man clad in a black robe and wielding a massive hammer emerged from the other end of the forest, charging toward them. Seeing the human soul master, the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, was filled with rage. Without waiting for the Sky Azure Bull Python or Xiao Wu to speak, he immediately straightened his upper body, pounded his chest violently with both fists and unleashed the terrifying aura of a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape.
With a furious roar, the Titan Giant Ape swung his right fist heavily. His attack carried the innate ability of his species to manipulate gravity, forcibly pulling enemies within a certain range into the path of his punch, compelling them to confront his immense strength head-on. This attack possessed both locking and control attributes.
Under normal circumstances, a typical Soul Douluo would be gravely injured, possibly even killed, by such an unrestrained punch from the enraged Titan Giant Ape, unless they immediately activated their martial soul avatar. Otherwise, they would lose their combat capability within one exchange. However, Tang Hao was no ordinary Soul Douluo—he was a Title Douluo capable of detonating his soul rings.
Facing this earth-shattering punch, Tang Hao didn't show anger but instead smiled. The berserk soul power raging uncontrollably in his body after detonating his rings surged into his Clear Sky Hammer. Wielding the massive hammer, as large as a water tank, Tang Hao used his Break technique, directly meeting the Titan Giant Ape's arm head-on.
The Titan Giant Ape initially believed that his punch would reduce this arrogant human soul master to a pile of flesh. However, he suddenly felt a tremendous counterforce reverberating through his arm.
The soul power imbued in his fist was instantly shattered by a stronger force, leaving his arm bloodied. The collision caused his entire arm, from wrist to shoulder, to twist unnaturally under the immense impact. The Titan Giant Ape, who had recently been overpowered by another human soul master, howled in pain and instinctively retreated several steps to disperse the force. However, remembering that Xiao Wu was still on his shoulder, Er Ming forced himself to stop after two steps, planting his hands and feet firmly on the ground to absorb the impact clumsily.
Seeing this, Tang Hao sneered and swung his Clear Sky Hammer again, aiming directly for the Titan Giant Ape's exposed, vulnerable abdomen, made visible due to his awkward posture. If the hammer landed, it would cause catastrophic damage, shattering the Titan Giant Ape's internal organs.
At that critical moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, intervened.

Coiling his massive body around the Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python swung his tail toward Tang Hao while stretching his head to shield Xiao Wu. Simultaneously, he opened his mouth wide, gathering soul power imbued with intense thunder energy, and unleashed a lightning-infused beam toward Tang Hao.
"Beasts will always be beasts—so ignorant of their limits."
Although Tang Hao knew that detonating his rings would cause further damage to his body, he was exhilarated by the surge of power coursing through him. Laughing mockingly, he activated his fifth soul ring, which began to glow.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Heaven-Piercing Strike!"
Although detonating rings prevents the use of the destroyed soul rings' abilities, it doesn't restrict the use of intact ones. However, due to the uncontrollable nature of berserk soul power, most soul masters find it nearly impossible to use their skills in such a state.
But for Tang Hao, exceptional control over this particular skill—Heaven-Piercing Strike—was his specialty.
Typically, disciples of the Clear Sky Clan use the Heaven-Piercing Strike in two ways: either by channeling the power directly into the Clear Sky Hammer for close-range attacks or by projecting a hammer-shaped energy construct for long-range strikes. Tang Hao, however, developed a third, highly personal style.
He enveloped his water-tank-sized Clear Sky Hammer with a three-meter-wide phantom hammer and swung it violently. The phantom hammer first shattered the Sky Azure Bull Python's sweeping tail, then spun outward from the Clear Sky Hammer to collide with the soul-powered thunder beam, triggering a massive explosion.
Taking advantage of this moment, the Titan Giant Ape, who had regained his composure, roared and opened his mouth wide, unleashing a deafening attack toward Tang Hao.
This was the Titan Roar Wave, an innate soul skill of the Titan Giant Ape species or any soul beast with Titan bloodlines.
The concentrated soundwave, infused with immense soul power, surged toward Tang Hao at an incredible speed.
Having just used Heaven-Piercing Strike, Tang Hao's soul power was momentarily depleted, leaving him unable to dodge. He could only swing his hammer with the Collapse technique from the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes to counter. Yet, the force of the Titan Roar Wave sent him flying dozens of meters, blood spurting from his mouth.
The Titan Roar Wave focused on high-frequency vibrations, followed by pure physical force. Although classified as a roar-based soul skill, it caused little mental damage, instead delivering devastating physical destruction, particularly to hard materials like metal.
This single attack left Tang Hao's martial soul trembling, his internal organs quaking. Old injuries nearly resurfaced. Were it not for his full set of strength-type soul bones reinforcing his body, he might have perished on the spot.
After struggling to catch his breath, Tang Hao pretended to recover quickly and charged forward again.
"You two beasts shouldn't get cocky. As long as I can hold you off for a while, the Clear Sky Clan's team will arrive. When multiple Title Douluo join the fight, neither of you will escape."
Tang Hao deliberately shouted this, feigning an attempt to stall for time.
Hearing this, both the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python grew anxious, worried that the team of Title Douluo Tang Hao mentioned might indeed be on their way. Acting decisively, the Sky Azure Bull Python carefully placed Xiao Wu in his mouth to shield her, using his body as a barrier, while the Titan Giant Ape activated his Titan Domain.
The Titan Domain utilized the power of gravity, functioning primarily as a gravity control field, though it also provided significant enhancements to the Titan Giant Ape.
With a thunderous roar, the Titan Giant Ape struck with an air-crushing palm. The intense gravity compressed the air to its limit, then unleashed an explosive force that sent Tang Hao flying hundreds of meters into a thicket, leaving his fate uncertain.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape exchanged glances before gently placing Xiao Wu on the ground. Seeing Xiao Wu drenched in his saliva, the Sky Azure Bull Python's gaze momentarily flickered with an odd expression, quickly replaced by worry.
The Sky Azure Bull Python turned and bit into one of his scars, causing fresh blood to flow. Under his control, a small amount of blood splattered onto Xiao Wu.
