The white-haired elder's strength was something they had witnessed before. Although Wang Hao was very powerful, apart from that earth-shattering strike, it was almost impossible to kill the white-haired elder.
And Wang Hao hadn't used that move, not even the Lightning Summoning Technique, such a big move, he hadn't used at all.
Otherwise, they would have certainly seen it.
To deal with that elder, he must have used this move, right?
"Bang!"
Emperor Wushuang punched Wang Hao hard in the chest, making a sound of metal crashing.
However, Wang Hao seemed unaware, directly punching him in the face.
Emperor Wushuang's body flew backward, crashing heavily into the city wall, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Emperor Wushuang actually came out on the bottom?
This...
This is too unbelievable, isn't it?
It should be known that Wang Hao had survived several battles before, employing various techniques, he should be depleted of strength by now.
Where did he suddenly get so much strength?
Wang Hao twisted his neck, a sinister smile appearing on his face as he walked step by step toward Emperor Wushuang:
"Emperor Wushuang, you've ruined my big plans, and now pay with your life."
"Arrogant!"
Emperor Wushuang pointed slantingly at the sky, and the cloud throne transformed into a bronze cauldron.
It's the Nine Provinces Tripod!
A stream of energy descended from the bronze cauldron, merging into Emperor Wushuang's body.
The next moment, Emperor Wushuang radiated a terrifying aura.
Golden energy transformed into armor, enveloping his entire body.
"Wang Hao, I'll smash you into a meat patty."
Emperor Wushuang charged toward Wang Hao once more.
Wang Hao smirked coldly and fearlessly met him head-on.
The two initiated a new round of fierce confrontation.
The unbelievable scene left everyone dumbfounded once more.
They originally thought Emperor Wushuang, with the backing of the Nine Provinces Tripod, would suppress Wang Hao.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to suppress him, but he was also being beaten up by Wang Hao just like before.
"How could Emperor Wushuang be so weak? Even with a cheat, he can't win?"
A bystander glanced blankly at his companion beside him.
"It's not that he's weak but that Wang Hao is too strong, too terrifying. How did Wang Hao train?"
"The world of geniuses is indeed beyond the comprehension of us mortals."
...
No one expected such an outcome.
Even Emperor Wushuang went crazy.
How could this be possible?
He used the Nine Provinces Tripod and still couldn't beat Wang Hao?
He couldn't even break Wang Hao's defense.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Yet, it was the truth. He was being beaten back by Wang Hao, with a constant sweet and metallic taste in his throat. If he hadn't been enduring, he would have coughed up blood repeatedly by now.
"Roar!"
In desperation, Emperor Wushuang transformed into a dragon and soared into the sky.
The enormous Five-Clawed Golden Dragon rose and fell amidst the clouds.
The dragon aura of the Emperor Dao dyed the sky a magnificent golden hue.
Xu Xiang was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Emperor Wushuang's body was actually more than three times his size.
This is just a freaking avatar!
The gap between people is too vast.
In the sky, Emperor Wushuang's entire body shimmered with golden light. He opened his huge mouth and unleashed a breath of flames at Wang Hao.
The terrifying column of flaming energy descended like divine retribution, aiming to incinerate Wang Hao into ashes.
Facing this terrifying attack, Wang Hao did not evade but merely raised his hand slightly.
The Soul-Devouring Ring flashed, frantically absorbing the flame energy.
In Emperor Wushuang's dragon eyes, a fierce glint appeared. His body writhed, his mouth opened even wider, and the flaming energy column was twice as large as before.
He wasn't mindless. He knew Wang Hao's ring could absorb energy attacks, yet he deliberately used energy attacks.
He just knew that everything has a limit of endurance.
He wanted to break that limit and render Wang Hao's ring useless.
His guess was indeed correct.
The Soul-Devouring Ring has an absorption limit.
However, this limit is extremely high.
After several rounds of absorption, the ring's capacity only reached 20/100.
"Let's see how much you can absorb."
Fury burned in Emperor Wushuang's eyes as the Nine Provinces Tripod floated above his head. It turned over, pouring streams of golden energy down.
Emperor Wushuang's aura surged once more, the golden energy even condensing into numerous golden dragon shadows.
The power of his breath increased by more than tenfold.
21/100
22/100
23/100
...
The storage power of the Soul-devouring Ring was gradually climbing upwards.
Wang Hao was about to burst into laughter.
Someone was actually charging his Soul-devouring Ring for free.
The energy this ring can store is incredibly vast, and once it's full, unleashing it is as powerful as his Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique.
At this moment, Emperor Wushuang was internally collapsing.
He felt like Wang Hao's Soul-devouring Ring was a bottomless pit.
Yet now, he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
He had already released so much energy; maybe a bit more, and the ring could explode.
It was like being a gambler; he had lost too many chips, and the more he lost, the more he bet.
He was completely ensnared.
50/100
51/100
52/100
When the ring's energy reached 53, Emperor Wushuang could no longer withstand it.
The pillar of flame gradually shrank and finally disappeared.
The energy in his tripod had been completely exhausted.
"You! What exactly is that in your hand?"
Emperor Wushuang stared fixedly at Wang Hao, already questioning his life choices.
The Nine Provinces Tripod is a critical national treasure, carrying the emperor's fortune, condensing a massive amount of energy.
Yet, after exhausting the power of an entire tripod, he hadn't managed to destroy that ring. Was this defying the heavens?
Everyone else looked at the ring in Wang Hao's hand with fervent eyes.
A supreme treasure!
This was definitely a supreme treasure.
It could consume so much energy.
With this ring, all kinds of energy attacks wouldn't need any concern in the future.
Wang Hao, however, felt nothing special.
He had long expected the power of this Soul-Devouring Ring.
After all, it was something the mysterious person treated as a treasure!
With the strength of that mysterious person, this item must be top-notch.
However, he was somewhat surprised by one thing.
He noticed that the energy slots in the ring seemed increasingly hard to fill as they neared the end.
It was simply too strong.
No wonder that existence was so furious.
Wang Hao looked up at Emperor Wushuang, with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
The previous strike had exhausted the power of the Nine Provinces Tripod from Emperor Wushuang, and his own spiritual power was dried up too.
Now, he was at a dead end.
"Emperor Wushuang, it seems your rampage in the north has made you arrogant, but don't forget, this is the south."
Wang Hao's aura erupted: "Today, I will destroy this avatar of yours and take away your Bronze Tripod, to teach you that this world is not yet a place for you to rampage."
Seeing Wang Hao charge forth from the ground like a cannonball, Emperor Wushuang's eyes flashed with a hint of terror.
This was the first time since acquiring his superpower that he felt fear.
His power was almost completely depleted.
"Then fight it is."
The battle intent in his eyes surged fiercely.
He was Emperor Wushuang, he couldn't lose, he wouldn't lose.
So what if his spiritual power was massively drained?
He still had his powerful dragon form.
This was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, strong and indestructible.
"Bang!"
Wang Hao punched him in the head, and the massive dragon head was knocked aside, buzzing in dizziness.
Wang Hao mounted him, unleashing a frenzy of attacks to his body.
Every punch landed with a deafening noise.
In the sky, Emperor Wushuang frantically twisted his body, trying to throw Wang Hao off.
And at this moment, Wang Hao was already tearing at his dragon scales.
Dragon blood spilled, coloring the sky crimson.
So bloody, so violent!
The crowd looked up at these scenes, feeling their scalps tingle, scarcely believing their eyes.
The strength of Emperor Wushuang wasn't in the same league as Wang Hao at all.
The whole time he was just being ravaged by Wang Hao.
But that's Emperor Wushuang!
They couldn't understand why Wang Hao was still able to retain such immense power after all this fighting.
"Ranged energy attacks get absorbed, close combat is invincible; this is just absurd, who could possibly defeat that?"
Many people showed bitter smiles on their faces.
Wang Hao was practically unstoppable.
So strong it was despairing.
"Extract your dragon tendon!"
Wang Hao ripped off Emperor Wushuang's hard dragon scales and punched into his body.
"Roar!!!"
Emperor Wushuang let out a pained dragon's roar.
Wang Hao's eyes tightened, and he actually pulled out a long tendon from inside.
This was the dragon tendon.
