Chapter 1063: One Sword Frightens Ghosts and Gods

“Then why don't we play a game? The stakes are those few people. If I win, you must not only obediently release them but also grant me one condition. If I lose, then every member of the Glory Battle Team, including myself, will be at your mercy. You can kill or torture us as you please; we will not resist at all.”

King Kong burst into laughter, uncontrollably pounding his chest again with all his might. Each pound unleashed terrifying sonic waves that caused countless surrounding mountains to intensely tremble.

“You are truly confident, to be able to hold other people's lives in your hands.” This isn't merely a show of Xu Yang's courage.

Xu Yang sneered, “Enough talk. Let me witness your true strength. As the undisputed overlord of the Endless Sea, if you fail to impress me, I will personally strip you of that title.” He was already towering over the colossal King Kong before him.

In an instant, Xu Yang's true form flickered, leaving an endless stream of afterimages and light trails, making it impossible for the colossal beast before him to distinguish which was his real body.

It was precisely through this illusionary tactic that Xu Yang immediately determined the movable combat range of King Kong and then formulated the most suitable battle plan.

In truth, given Xu Yang's real capabilities, there was no need to employ such flashy tactics against King Kong. He possessed Tu Tian, a supreme divine artifact, and the Lord Dragon Armor, two unparalleled treasures in offensive and defensive domains.

The power of these two supreme divine artifacts even surpassed that of ordinary divine artifacts. They were Xu Yang's strongest reliance, enabling him to contend with top-tier god-king level bosses in the true Greater Plane worlds.

Within the power system of Yingzhou Continent, no divine artifact or individual's strength could possibly contend with the core power of these two supreme divine artifacts. Thus, wielding these two trump cards, Xu Yang could stand invincible on any battlefield across the Yingzhou Continent.

He originally didn't need to complicate the situation so much. The reason he chose this roundabout method to duel King Kong was to ensure the complete safety of Lister and the others.

Xu Yang had just determined that the golden light-shrouded sealing array on the other mountain peak could not be easily dispelled by him in a single strike. If he adopted an arrogant stance and completely enraged the colossal King Kong, there was a risk that the opponent might choose a 'fish-die-net-break' scenario, unleashing his most powerful strength after defeat to forcibly abduct Lister and the Pranciss couple. Xu Yang genuinely might not be able to stop them immediately.

Therefore, after careful consideration of this issue, Xu Yang ultimately decided not to risk his companions' lives. He chose the safest approach: gradually engaging the opponent and slowly revealing his true strength.

However, once Xu Yang adopted this mindset, it meant the opponent had no chance of turning the tables. A composed Xu Yang had no weaknesses, and no one on the entire Yingzhou Continent could be his match.

The Jade Bone Divine Weapon reappeared behind Xu Yang, and its sword light, in an extremely short time, unleashed an endless torrent of sword shadows that slammed towards King Kong's body. As Xu Yang had anticipated, the scene he wasn't surprised by finally unfolded. All the sword lights striking King Kong's body truly exemplified the futility of an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The sword lights he unleashed were powerful enough, yet when they struck the colossal King Kong's body, they seemed merely to tickle him, utterly failing to shatter his physical defense's ultimate strength.“Hahaha, Human, if this is all the power you possess, then I advise you to leave quickly. In my presence, you are less than even an ant; some ancient races on King Island have far stronger attack capabilities than you.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang burst into laughter. “If that's what you believe, I don't mind letting you experience what true power is.” The next moment, Xu Yang suddenly pressed his palms together, beginning to condense an extremely peculiar cultivation technique. At that instant, his power was fully unleashed and awakened.

Simultaneously, an aura of true epoch-shattering power rapidly enveloped the entire Skull King Island. Immediately after, the Jade Bone Divine Sword vanished, replaced by a divine sword of exquisite perfection, yet equally potent in aura—it was Tu Tian, the life-bound supreme divine artifact of the ancient God-King, Fiery Battle Soul Unrestrained.

The moment the Tu Tian Divine Sword appeared, the terrifying killing intent it radiated instantly covered the entire Skull King Island. Everyone who sensed this killing intent involuntarily trembled.

Naturally, this included the thousands of children from the Outer Path faction. Each of them instinctively stopped what they were doing and cast their gaze towards the interior of Skull King Island. At this moment, the pirate leader also revealed a look of satisfaction.

Based on his expectations, the script should have been King Kong becoming utterly enraged and crushing Xu Yang. Embarrassingly, the reality was entirely the opposite. After Xu Yang's aura emerged, the colossal King Kong instinctively widened his eyes.

He truly never dreamed that this seemingly ordinary human could possess such a powerful supreme divine artifact.

This artifact, almost perfect in its entirety, with an aura in its contours and a sword spirit emanating from it that inspired deep-seated dread in anyone who perceived it.

The colossal King Kong, an almost invincible existence throughout the Endless Sea, was profoundly shaken. “I take back what I just said. That sword in your hand alone is enough to earn my respect.”

Xu Yang, however, sneered, completely disregarding the colossal creature's words. Gripping the Tu Tian supreme divine artifact in his hand, he unleashed an unparalleled surge of terrifying spatial distortion. In that instant, the sword soul of Tu Tian seemed to reawaken, and a roaring dragon's cry accompanied Xu Yang's sword as it slashed down towards King Kong.

For the first time, King Kong felt fear and simultaneously began to rage. His two massive, thick arms slammed violently towards the ground. It was at this moment that Xu Yang suddenly realized a crucial reason for the colossal King Kong's power: the opponent seemed to possess a degree of control over the law of earth.

As his arms crashed into the ground, all the surrounding shattered rocks frantically converged, guided by a unique soul aura's pulsation, forming a barrier in front of the ape overlord. This was the first time in thousands of years of battles that he had resorted to external force to protect his physical body, as even the colossal King Kong lacked absolute confidence in his own physical strength to withstand Xu Yang's earth-shattering strike.
