Chapter 1004: Evil Navy Corps

Boom!

Suddenly, at that very moment, an incredibly powerful explosion resounded, and the entire world seemed to plunge into a state of extreme collapse.

Everyone turned their attention to the center of the battlefield and were astonished to find that the enormous commotion was caused by a sudden combined skill unleashed by Wugoro Uzumaki and that girl, Ling Yao.

In fact, this move was not pre-arranged between them. Instead, they each launched their most powerful attack, skillfully staggering their rhythms. In mid-air, two opposing arcs, like a Tai Chi symbol, converged at the exact moment of impact, creating a swirling vortex of destructive power, a tempest of blades and arrows.

As this power swept through every corner of the battlefield, all the Minotaurs within a hundred meters of its path were instantly annihilated.

“Damn, those two are terrifying! If that attack had been aimed at me, I doubt I would have survived,” Guglas admitted.

Xu Yang also shook his head with a wry smile. “I never imagined these two could unleash such terrifying power when working together. It seems my future training direction for you should be focused on developing combined skills. This will maximize each of your strengths, compensate for your weaknesses, and enhance the overall combat capability of the team.”

This was a lesson Xu Yang learned after this battle. Previously, he had overly emphasized the individual cultivation achievements of each of the seven members. However, this time, Xu Yang realized that when the entire team was dispersed, individual abilities could not be fully utilized.

Instead, it would be better to develop a holistic combat approach. That way, whenever they gather, no force will be able to break apart the Glory Squad.

When it comes to one-on-one combat, Xu Yang alone is enough. What’s the use of training a few more dueling experts? They wouldn’t even get a chance to be useful; it would just be a waste of their talent.

More importantly, Xu Yang has now assigned exclusive attendants to everyone in the team. Apart from Wugoro Uzumaki and Ling Yao, everyone has a top-tier expert dedicated to ensuring their safety. Therefore, there is no greater meaning in them continuing to focus solely on individual cultivation.

Now it seems that Ling Yao and Wugoro Uzumaki are not just Xu Yang’s personal companions. If these two frequently spar together in the future, no one would dare challenge them.

Soon, under the sweeping power of this furious combined attack vortex, the Minotaur war puppets on the battlefield had no ability to resist. Within a few rounds, all the main Minotaur forces of the Demonic Naval Legion were completely annihilated.

Xu Yang quickly scanned the area. The Minotaur warriors eliminated by Wugoro Uzumaki and Ling Yao in this battle numbered no less than a hundred thousand, a quantity that was almost the entire production of war puppets created by the Doctor and his team.

After the battle, Wugoro Uzumaki and Ling Yao both lay on the ground, panting heavily.

“Fifty-three thousand eight hundred and seventy-one!”

The two almost simultaneously uttered the number in unison, then turned their heads to look at each other, sharing a helpless smile.

Evidently, neither of them managed to claim victory; they had eliminated the exact same number of Minotaur warriors. This indirectly proved that their current combat capabilities were almost perfectly matched.

Of course, the cultivation techniques Ling Yao wielded did not include the primal power cultivation system, so she wasn't exactly bullying Wugoro Uzumaki. He, on the other hand, had employed virtually all of his unconventional methods, various techniques, and academic knowledge.

Therefore, if the two were to engage in a life-or-death duel, Ling Yao would likely still have the upper hand in overall strength. After all, she had been with Xu Yang for so long and accumulated a wealth of various foundations, something Wugoro Uzumaki’s rigorous cultivation alone couldn’t compare to.

“What now? There’s still one enemy left!”

No sooner had Wugoro Uzumaki spoken than Ling Yao, also lying on the ground beside him, tapped the earth with one hand. She seemed to sense a peculiar power fluctuation, and after a moment, a smile finally appeared on her face.

“It seems our last opponent is finally going to appear.”

Just after her words faded, from the deepest part of the earth’s veins at the world’s end, an incredibly massive, sky-reaching tree slowly emerged.

Undoubtedly, this entity was the Eternal Demon Tree, one of the three strongest masters of the Abyss of the Endless Sea, and the true power behind the entire Demonic Naval Legion!

“He is the source of the demonic seeds, the Eternal Demon Tree, the true mastermind behind the entire Demonic Naval Legion!”

Xu Yang revealed the entity’s true identity.

The other party did not deny it, letting out a soft chuckle. Its voice was ancient and profound, yet it carried an extremely powerful spiritual influence.

“You are correct. I am the Eternal Demon Tree, and I am about to end you. I will use your bodies and flesh to cultivate my new seed-fruits.”

Xu Yang burst into laughter. “The one thing I want to do most right now is uproot you, then devour all your flesh and blood to play a role similar to that Doctor.

However, I will never have any so-called mastermind behind me. I, Xu Yang, am the one who can control the fate of the entire Yingzhou Continent.”

How domineering were Xu Yang’s words! He took a step and soared into the air, quickly arriving near the top of the Eternal Demon Tree, gazing at it from a distance.

“Human, you are truly strong. You are an unprecedented perfect template, unlike any I have ever seen. I truly desire your body.

If you are willing to cooperate with me, there will be no need for battle. I will preserve your soul, and we can share each other’s body and bloodline. Together, we would undoubtedly be the strongest beings on the entire Yingzhou Continent, and no enemy would stand in our way to the summit.”

No sooner had these words been spoken than the other members of the Glory Squad behind Xu Yang couldn't help but noisily mock the Eternal Demon Tree.

“Hey, old man, your brain really isn’t working too well. Our boss can reach the pinnacle of cultivation all by himself, so why would he need to carry an ugly, useless burden like you? Why would he let you take a share for no reason? Do you want our boss to be your grandfather? If you can call him ‘Grandpa,’ we might consider taking you in as a grand-nephew, or rather, a grandson for our boss.”

“Hahaha!”
