Chapter 1090: First Give Some Praise

"Hahaha, perhaps the fearsome reputation of our Demon Dragon Island is too great. It's been many years since anyone dared to come here to their deaths. You must be the second group in nearly a thousand years. The last group, let me see, I believe they were tortured to death, dismembered bit by bit. I'm already thinking about how to 'entertain' you little brats who don't know your place."

The leader, holding a trident, wore a wide smile that conveyed a deep-seated contempt for the members of the Glory Squad. All these expressions were etched deeply into Xu Yang and his comrades' vision.

"Have you thought about it? What method will it be? Good, let our brothers in the Glory Squad prepare themselves mentally." The man burst into laughter.

"Are you already feeling fear so soon? Excellent. I can tell you now: after you're subdued, I will use this trident in my hand to gouge out your eyes. Then, I'll throw you into the Pool of Vengeful Spirits, where countless sea creatures are kept. The most ferocious creatures of the Endless Sea will devour you bit by bit. Your flesh will be flayed and eaten as food, and your soul essence will be extracted to serve as our slaves for eternity. How does that sound?"

Xu Yang nodded with a calm smile. "If you enjoy such games, we naturally have no objections. So, let's begin."

Xu Yang beckoned with his finger, clearly intending to retaliate using the very methods the opponent had envisioned. He planned to help them fulfill their heartfelt wish, though the recipients of the 'punishment' would, of course, not be Xu Yang and the Glory Squad, but rather the trident-wielding individual who proposed the idea.

In the very next instant, the battle erupted. Every member of the Glory Squad had a suppressed fury, nowhere to vent it. With Xu Yang's command, both sides finally clashed.

Although the Glory Squad was numerically smaller, they each demonstrated their unique and irreplaceable powerful abilities, much like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. For a time, they did not fall into a disadvantage.

Above the void, Xu Yang and King Kong Behemoth, the strongest duo, began to control the entire battlefield with their high-level powers. Xu Yang's self-created Yin-Yang Dao formed an immense Tai Chi totem in the void.

Extreme Yin generated Yang, and extreme Yang transformed into Yin. Yin and Yang combined, and an infinite source of power, under the evolution of Xu Yang's Tai Chi Dao, swiftly covered the entire battlefield.

More and more warriors from the Demon Dragon Island Guardian Legion became immersed in the Yin-Yang Dao's disorientation array, temporarily losing all their offensive and defensive capabilities.

On the other hand, King Kong Behemoth, relying on his unparalleled physical strength, repeatedly unleashed the most terrifying sources of power towards the center of the Demon Dragon Island battlefield below. Each strike was accompanied by an instant surge of horrifying sonic waves, spreading like thunder descending madly from the sky. With every punch, dozens of top-tier Demon Dragon Island warriors were instantly obliterated.

Although their strength had reached the Purple level, facing King Kong Behemoth, who was at the peak of the late Purple level, their power still showed too significant a disparity. Against King Kong Behemoth's all-rending explosive force, they had no chance to parry, and their physical bodies swiftly disintegrated in a very short time.

Evidently, the leader of the Demon Dragon Island Guardian Legion, holding the trident, had not anticipated that the obscure Glory Squad possessed such terrifying combat power. Without hesitation, he lightly tapped the trident in his hand.

At that instant, a brilliant teal light quickly emerged and solidified beneath his feet. This light then swiftly spread outwards, enveloping everyone nearby in the shortest time. Guided by the trident in his hand, the blue ethereal glow began to condense into a very special void critical state.

This critical state divided the battlefield into two. Within the domain, the teal light enforced a void rule, while outside the domain, the area where Xu Yang and the Glory Squad were located maintained the original spatial rules.

"Heh, I must admit, this guy's void-splitting technique is quite powerful. However, in my presence, no technique holds any meaning."

Xu Yang gave a cold smile, and the immensely powerful "Tu Tian Divine Artifact" materialized once again in his palm. With a single downward slash, the incredibly potent sword energy, a wave-like blade, rapidly disintegrated. The Dao Sword was silent, formless, and invisible. Merely by making the motion of cleaving through the void, it instantly annihilated hundreds of Purple-level experts below.

It was precisely due to the descent of this sword light that the central area of the battlefield, where both sides were clashing, was split in two. A small piece of the vast Demon Dragon Island was precisely severed, and the battle zone located in this area began to gradually detach from the main body of Demon Dragon Island. This demonstrated the sheer terror of Xu Yang's sword strike, which had directly cleaved down to the ocean floor far beneath where Demon Dragon Island connected.

"Holy crap, where did that divine artifact come from? Its power is truly astonishing!" Everyone present wore expressions of disbelief, staring at the spot in the void where Xu Yang had struck.

Not only the members of the Glory Squad, but even the leader of the Demon Dragon Island Guardian Army, who held the trident, was dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that the divine artifact in the hands of Xu Yang, the leader of the Glory Squad, could be so powerful, far exceeding his understanding of ultimate power.

"Boss, what should we do with this guy? The power of his last sword strike probably rivals that of Lord Demon Dragon Emperor. His strength is likely beyond what we can contend with in our current state."

Many around him came forward, beginning to persuade the trident leader. After all, he alone commanded the entire Demon Dragon Island Guardian Legion; whether to advance, retreat, fight to the death, or choose a different tactical approach, all depended on his orders.

The opponent gritted his teeth, his gaze towards Xu Yang in the void growing even colder. "Gust, let me try again. I refuse to believe that my strength cannot shake this lowly human."

It was clear that this time, the trident-wielding leader was truly determined to capture Xu Yang. Little did he know that Xu Yang was not someone of his caliber to challenge or even touch.

Soon, the trident in his hand was frantically infused with an immensely powerful source of spiritual energy. In the shortest time, the trident's physical form expanded a hundredfold, condensing into a gigantic, deep blue trident enveloped in boundless energy.

"Aren't you quite strong, kid? Come on! Try to face the power of this move of mine!"
