Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

This was Huang Bingbing's domain, a true ice domain!

Such a domain undoubtedly consumed a massive amount of energy, but it also undoubtedly elevated her power to its peak.

The biting cold created an indescribable sense of pressure. In her dark blue eyes, a profound glow flickered faintly. To be pushed to this point by an opponent who was clearly weaker in cultivation had truly enraged her.

From the beginning of the battle until now, it was her, a peak tenth-order Nymph King, who had been suppressed. She was even forced to use her true form to regain the upper hand!

Asura's eyes were calm, his gaze as serene as an ancient well, devoid of any emotional disturbance. He raised his hand and the ring on his finger flashed with light. In the next moment, an object was ejected from the ring.

When this object appeared, it fell to the ground, but for some reason, its descent was extremely slow.

Everything around it also slowed down.

The ice element spreading toward Asura at an astonishing speed slowed down, and as Huang Bingbing wondered what was going on, she… noticed… that… her… thoughts… slowed… down…?

The Stone of Slowness!

Indeed, this was the very same Stone of Slowness that Tang San had acquired at the auction, which was actually a Temporal Beacon!

Even as a god, Huang Bingbing was affected by the Stone of Slowness. And just like her own movements and thoughts, the flow of the ice elemental energy was influenced by it. Everything was.

A look of astonishment instantly and slowly appeared on Huang Bingbing's face. She had been at the auction that day and naturally knew what this item was. Well, knowing it was one thing, and expecting Asura to just randomly throw out the Stone of Slowness mid-battle was something else entirely.

What… is he… trying… to do…? This… thing… will… slow… down… his a…ctions… as well… and… he's… not… even… at the… tenth… order…. Won't… the ef…fect… be… even… greater… on him…

However, in the next long moment, her expression changed.

Asura moved, and in a flash, he was beside Huang Bingbing. Sky Shatterer came crashing down without any reduction in speed, and in her slowed-down gaze, it might as well be a ray of light.

Fierce flames burned on the hammer, carrying unparalleled heat. In an instant, it reached Huang Bingbing's side.

How… is this… pos…sible…? Why… isn…'t he… affected?

Huang Bingbing was both shocked and angry. The ice elemental energy within her body burst forth, trying to block the attack. A layer of dark blue ice armor slowly formed on her body.

Under normal circumstances, the ice would instantly wrap her in flawless armor, and it would be more than enough to block Asura's attacks, considering the ice domain and the difference in cultivation.

Sadly, she couldn’t even think fast enough to realize that her armor was just too slow.

Boom!

The hammer strike directly sent Huang Bingbing flying. The ice armor shattered into powder. If her body hadn't instantly turned into hard ice, this blow might have severely injured her.

Asura didn't pursue her. He slowly floated up, his eyes faintly glowing with golden light. He gripped the hammer with both hands, and the crimson-gold flames on Sky Shatterer suddenly collapsed inward, condensing. The hammer itself began to emit a strange dark gold light.

It was clearly still the same Sky Shatterer, but in the eyes of both Huang Bingbing and Wu Bingji, it seemed magnified, giving off an aura as majestic as a mountain.

Asura gripped the hammer with both hands and raised it above his head. The powerful and terrifying aura instantly peaked.

……

This… is...

God…?

Huang Bingbing's pupils gradually contracted. That was clearly a god-level aura! And such a powerful one at that!

At this moment, Asura was like a martial god standing between heaven and earth. Sky Shatterer, in his hands, crashed down fiercely. The dazzling golden light made it fall like a meteor, completely unaffected by the Stone of Slowness. The hammer strike carried an unparalleled majestic aura as it descended.

A flash of fear appeared in Huang Bingbing's eyes as her body transformed into Eternal Profound Ice. However, while she was transforming, she had a feeling that this hammer strike couldn't be fully blocked by just turning into ice. Even if it didn’t kill her, it would at least cause serious injury.

Yet, she had no chance to dodge.

Boom!

The giant hammer fell, and a circle of dark gold ripples burst outward. The violent and terrifying explosive force caused the entire valley to echo with a piercing scream.

Even from a distance, Wu Bingji could deeply feel the terrifying power of this hammer strike. The ground trembled, and the violent roar temporarily robbed him of his hearing.

Countless fragments of stone flew, and dust rose into the air.

When he saw Tang San again, his junior brother was standing in a pit over thirty meters in diameter and five meters deep.

Numerous cracks extended outward from the pit, reaching as far as a hundred meters away. The power of this hammer strike had a bit of an apocalyptic feel to it.

Huang Bingbing seemed to have been pulverized; there was not even a trace left. The aura around Tang San also receded.

He suddenly raised his hand, and a stone fell from the sky into his palm and then disappeared. It was the Stone of Slowness.

As the stone vanished, the flow of time around them returned to normal.

What the… Did he… Did he kill the Ice Maiden clan leader?!

Wu Bingji stared at Tang San in shock.

He had always known that Tang San was strong, but he had never imagined that his junior brother was this strong. He had actually killed a god-level being just like that? And he wasn't even at the tenth order himself yet!

What kind of strength will he have once he reaches the god level? Wu Bingji couldn't even fully comprehend the abilities Tang San had used. It seemed almost ridiculous to him how easily Tang San had won.

Just then, a blue figure slowly emerged from the distance. She looked rather disheveled; her clothes were in disarray, her once neat hair now slightly messy, and there was a look of lingering fear on her delicate face. Wasn't it the Ice Maiden clan's leader, Huang Bingbing?

Tang San hadn't truly harmed her. The target of his hammer just now wasn't Huang Bingbing, but the ground beside her. Huang Bingbing had just been blasted away by the immense shockwave, not struck by the hammer itself.

But at this moment, her heart was filled with extreme fear. She had just received a good jolt, nothing more, but she could clearly feel how terrifying the power of that hammer was. If it had landed on her, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"You win," Huang Bingbing said with some difficulty.

"Clan Leader, you are too kind," Asura said as he put away Sky Shatterer, his gaze calm as he looked at her.

Huang Bingbing took a deep breath and said, "I will keep my promise. I will also push forward your suggestion."

"Good. So should we go back to the hotel first, or do it here?" Asura was referring to using the Throne of Frost to enhance his senior brother's bloodline.

Huang Bingbing said, "Let's do it here. I need to return to the clan as soon as possible. I'll leave right after we're done."

"Alright," Asura nodded.

Seeing that Huang Bingbing was fine, Wu Bingji ran over. His expression was somewhat complex; right now, he felt as if Tang San was the true senior brother.

Tang San looked at Wu Bingji and said, "Senior brother, go with the clan leader. I'll wait here for you."

As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, showing no concern for Huang Bingbing, even though she was nearby.

Huang Bingbing gave him a deep look and asked, "Can you tell me what technique you used with that hammer just now?"

Asura replied calmly, "It's the Great Sumeru Hammer, a technique that compresses vast power into a small point."

"What a great technique… Come with me," Huang Bingbing said, directing the latter part at Wu Bingji as it turned and walked toward the nearby woods.

Wu Bingji looked at Tang San, saw him nod, and then followed Huang Bingbing.
