Chapter 234: Tang Hao, Tang San

The cold wind was bleak, two figures in hooded brown robes appeared on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking at the huge depression where only seawater remained, both fell into a dazed state.

"Father, the Star Dou Great Forest is gone, just as the rumors said," the shorter figure said.

"Xiao San, at first I did not believe it, but now seeing it with my own eyes confirms it is true," the taller figure said.

They pulled back the hoods covering their heads, revealing two familiar faces.

The shorter one was Tang San, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

The taller one was Tang Hao, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

They reunited as father and son.

Moreover, Tang San had fully accepted Tang Hao's training.

Now his strength and soul power have greatly increased.

His height is also noticeably greater than before, and his physique is noticeably stronger.

Tang San was dumbfounded, utterly shocked.

After the Star Dou Great Forest disappeared, this was the scene that remained.

The visual impact was too great.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is the place with the most soul beasts, the greatest variety, and the highest ages in the world; now it is gone, and in an instant countless soul beasts that supply human soul masters are lost—what are human soul masters to do about their soul rings?"

"As time passes, the soul beasts in the remaining places will absolutely not be enough for soul masters to kill, meaning many soul masters will face the predicament of having no soul rings to absorb!"

"This is the darkest era for soul masters! It will delay many people!"

"Even only being forced to absorb unsuitable soul rings."

Tang San grimly spoke of the terrible fate that would soon occur.

"What you said is indeed very serious, so you must quickly become stronger and raise your soul power, even though you have already added soul rings to both martial souls."

"The previous plan to make the Heavenly Sky Hammer entirely black and ten-thousand-year-old may need to be revised; given the current situation, we cannot accomplish it."

"Moreover, the outside world is in great chaos, with nations declaring independence and constant warfare."

"I can hardly believe that such a tremendous change has occurred in such a short time."

Tang Hao also felt very troubled.

"What tremendous power could move such a huge soul beast forest?"

He walked to the edge, crouched down, extended his hand to touch the soil at the edge, and felt incredulous.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted and his mind was greatly shaken.

"This aura, it is him!"

His inner heart was tumultuous like stormy waves.

The dust-sealed dark memory he least wanted to recall surfaced.

The scene of that being completely crushed by Li Fei, this mysterious youth, and nearly beaten to death.

That power which left him unable to resist remains fresh in his memory, its scent always remembered, not to be forgotten.

For other matters he can be slow or even forgetful, but only this dragon breath is etched into his heart and not forgotten, because he still plans to become stronger and seek an opportunity in the future to take revenge and settle grudges!

"To be able to mobilize such terrifying power to move the Star Dou Great Forest—could he have become a god?" Tang Hao felt fear and helplessness rise in his heart.

If that is truly the case, then everything is doomed.

Even before becoming a god, the opponent was terrifyingly formidable, beating him near to death.

If he truly became a god, even if he were a Super Douluo, an Ultimate Douluo, he would still not be enough to withstand a single blow from the opponent.

"Xiao San, we must leave here."

"This place cannot be lingered in long."

"As for your fourth soul ring, we will look elsewhere."

Tang Hao stood up and said to Tang San.

It was obvious he was anxious.

Tang San didn't understand, but still nodded: "I understand, Father."

He had always been a good child who listened to his father from a young age.

When Tang Hao proactively reunited with him earlier and revealed his strength, he became very happy.

I never expected my old man to be a Title Douluo, moreover a renowned Heavenly Sky Douluo! It turns out he is also a child with a powerful background!

From that moment on, his mindset underwent a great change. In his eyes, even Shrek Academy was trash, and Li Fei and his ilk were trash.

However, what he did not know was that the father he admired had recently been beaten half to death by Li Fei.

After the reunion, he and his father trained in different places.

With good luck, he also discovered some useful heavenly treasures and earthly riches, causing his cultivation to rise rapidly; he quickly became a Soul Elder, and then, carrying a vengeful heart to grow stronger, he trained to reach his current fortieth‑level Soul Ancestor.

Today he and his father are hunting for his fourth soul ring.

Coincidentally, while on the road he heard the rumor that the Star Dou Great Forest had disappeared, came over to debunk the rumor, and incidentally obtain his fourth soul ring.

After all, the Star Dou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest; how could it possibly disappear? There could not be any power capable of making it vanish.

His third soul ring was obtained in the Star Dou Great Forest.

But only when people returned here again did they discover that his naive assumption was wrong, for the Star Dou Great Forest had truly vanished.

Only a huge seawater pit remained.

Like a lost continent.

The territory of the Star Dou Great Forest is large enough to be explained by continental plates.

It is truly huge! "Father, where are we going?" Tang San asked.

"The Sunset Forest, that is the second‑largest territory."

Moreover, there were no rumors of the Sunset Forest disappearing.

Since discovering that this might be the doing of Li Fei's enemy, Tang Hao didn't want to stay here for even a second, in case that guy suddenly shows up and hits him with a stick.

By then, not only would he lose face in front of his own son, but he might not even be able to protect his son's life.

He pulled Tang San and quickly left the place.

However, reality is cruel.

They spent several days to arrive outside Heavenly Battle City, only to discover that this place was encircled by a huge, towering great wall.

However, fortunately, the Sunset Forest still exists, with no news of it disappearing, and moreover, the Sunset Forest is not entirely within Heavenly Battle City; there are some places that are becoming, and one can enter from those places.

However, he doesn't need all this trouble, because he is Hao Tian Battle Master Tang Hao!

He only needs to reveal his identity, and the other party will obediently open the door to let him in.

"Is this Heavenly Battle City?"

Tang San is still visiting this place for the first time.

"Well, now the world is in great turmoil, the Heavenly Battle Empire no longer exists; the remaining cities, holding their troops and defending themselves, have become independent, established small states, and formally severed ties with the Heavenly Battle Empire."

"There is a huge black hand controlling things behind the scenes."

Tang Hao said in a deep voice.

Along the way, they also saw very tragic scenes of war, with many people dead.

Battlefields everywhere.

He suspects that all of this is related to Li Fei.

But he dares not be certain.

It's merely speculation and suspicion.

"The world has changed so much."

Tang San also felt somewhat powerless.

Tang Hao brought him to the city gate, but they were stopped.

"Who are you? Report your name!" a soldier shouted.

Tang Hao stepped forward, and nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, red—appeared on his body, and a Hao Tian Hammer also materialized in his hand.

"I am Hao Tian; hurry and report, I want to enter the city!"

Tang Hao's voice rang like a great bell, causing everyone to faint for a moment.

This is the deterrent effect of powerful soul power.

Even though these soldiers wield soul-guided weapons, they cannot avoid it.

Moreover, upon hearing the two words 'Hao Tian', and being a Title Battle Master, their faces turned pale.

"Your Excellency Hao Tian, please wait a moment, I will go report now!"
