Chapter 1087: Rules

With just a slight lift of his hand, the domain of laws surrounding the Chief shattered. He himself became like a weightless dandelion, stripped of everything, left to drift helplessly in the void at the mercy of Xu Yang's power, his eyes wide with panicked, disbelieving shock.

“Who exactly are you? How do you possess such terrifying power? And why have you come to this world?” The Grand Elder's entire understanding was completely overturned. He had believed that the pinnacle of strength was the Demonic Dragon on Demonic Dragon Island.

However, upon witnessing Xu Yang's true perfect form, he finally realized the immense gap between what he considered the strongest and Xu Yang standing before him. A truly perfect Angelic Domain, even without activating its inherent laws, had already thoroughly subdued the Grand Elder.

“Impossible. There is no power in this world that can utterly disregard my domain of rules. Within my domain, any rule that my body can accept can be altered by my will. Why does my power become so powerless when it touches your domain?”

Xu Yang gazed down coldly at the lowly figure beneath him from a condescending perspective. “Have you ever seen an elephant compete in strength with an ant?” he said coldly. “An ant is strong, but before an elephant, all its abilities become insignificant. This is the unbridgeable gap between you, an ant, and me, an exalted god. You have committed far too many sins in this life. If you have another life, be a good person.”

These were Xu Yang’s final words to the Grand Elder. The next moment, he raised the Sky-Drawing Divine Artifact high. The instant the most brilliant divine light from this artifact descended, everything the Grand Elder possessed was utterly disregarded.

Regardless, the opponent was a grand master of the late Purple Rank, yet before Xu Yang, he was truly so vulnerable. The power of a single sword strike was enough to slice the Grand Elder into nothingness.

In fact, what truly left every member of the Glory Battle Group utterly dumbfounded was Xu Yang's cold and proud demeanor at that moment, as he released his angelic power, appearing like an exalted god.

“Oh my heavens, this battle has truly redefined my worldview and understanding. Boss, he actually has such an incredible side? It’s truly astonishing!” Ling Yao smiled faintly and spoke softly.

“Boss also holds the identity of the God of Angels in the wider grand world. All power from the angelic lineage is based on him because his is a true angelic bloodline, possessing the ability and potential to change the future destiny of the entire world. The mere Yingzhou Continent is nothing but a speck of dust compared to our grand world.

If not for this special mission Boss and I had, and our teammates being scattered across various regions of Yingzhou Continent, we might not have even met.”

When Xu Yang completely slew the Grand Elder with a single sword, it also declared that the entire Demonic Dragon Battle Group at that moment finally existed in name only. None of the remaining so-called Demonic Dragon’s Seven battle teams could contend with the strength of the three strongest Grand Elders.

How could they then compare to the flourishing Glory Battle Group of today? Judging by the current strength of every member of the Glory Battle Group, they would all qualify to join the core Elder Council of the Demonic Dragon Battle Group.

“Boss, I have an idea. If we successfully land on Demonic Dragon Island and return triumphantly this time, I think it would be better to directly inherit all the existing systems of the Demonic Dragon Battle Group. We just need to change the name publicly, transforming the Demonic Dragon Battle Group into the Glory Battle Group. This way, we would overnight become one of the three strongest battle groups dominating the entire Western Region of Yingzhou Continent. It would be far more effective than starting from scratch and developing bit by bit.”

Gubras had indeed become much smarter this time. When he proposed this idea, it immediately received unanimous approval from Xu Yang and the others.

“Now is not the time to consider such matters. Since the Chief has fallen, all threats from the Demonic Dragon Battle Group have been completely eliminated. We now have only one objective left: to successfully land on Demonic Dragon Island. This final stretch of distance to Demonic Dragon Island is the true greatest challenge.

Can we truly succeed? It will require not only our collective effort, but according to my judgment, landing on Demonic Dragon Island will be extremely difficult. It shouldn't be solely because of how powerful the Demonic Dragon is—even the strongest person has weaknesses. It’s highly probable that it also relates to the island’s environmental and climate changes, as well as numerous other external factors.

We must be cautious and careful, and absolutely must not easily leave any weaknesses for the opponent. Otherwise, with the Demonic Dragon’s strength, if it seizes our weakness, we could very likely suffer a fatal blow.”

Had Xu Yang said these words to his subordinates before, they would have chuckled and casually shaken their heads, fully relying on Xu Yang's Angelic Domain for protection. But now, every member of the Glory Battle Group no longer harbored such naive thoughts.

Everyone clearly understood that what Xu Yang could do, he would naturally do for them. However, once they landed on the island, if any member of the team were to become a vulnerable liability, it would affect not just themselves, but would significantly lower the survival chances of everyone in the entire Glory Battle Group.

As Xu Yang had told them previously, when facing a sufficiently vast threat, one can often only rely on themselves. Fortunately, every member of the Glory Battle Group had made significant progress in strength, and they had adopted the appropriate attitude for people on the battlefield.

Therefore, in Xu Yang's view, winning this battle was not impossible. As long as the entire team was united in heart and effort, each fulfilling their duties, they would surely achieve their expected rewards.

After all preparations were complete, Xu Yang wasted no more time. He immediately ordered everyone to maximize the Black Pearl’s horsepower and head straight for the final region of Demonic Dragon Island.

Three days later, they finally caught sight of the boundary of Demonic Dragon Island. It looked like a colossal city in the sea, and simply observing its outline through the scope from ten thousand meters away was already stunning enough for everyone.

“My heavens, it’s hard to imagine that only the Demonic Dragon itself could live on such a huge island. There must be other terrifying subordinate creatures, just like on Skull King Island. Although Boss King Kong is the absolute ruler there, that island undoubtedly has ancient species dependent on him. Demonic Dragon Island is so vast and terrifying; it must harbor unimaginable other species.”

Prasidis and the others also instinctively began to murmur, the pressure in their hearts unconsciously increasing. After all, anyone who suddenly saw such a terrifying island would feel apprehension.
