Chapter 1095: The Source of Spirit Stones

"Little girl, trying to uncover my secrets is extremely dangerous. I advise you to close your eyes immediately, or you may lose the light of this world forever."

The Demon Dragon King's tone was not mere bravado. Indeed, in the very next instant, his radiant eyes swiftly shot out an incredibly powerful beam of light, aimed directly at the little girl's beautiful eyes.

This was clearly an attempt to blind Little Mushroom. Xu Yang immediately reacted, stamping his foot, and an immensely powerful golden radiance instantly converged. A golden energy space, an angelic light of glory, materialized around Little Mushroom's body.

It provided Little Mushroom with the perfect protection. "I said that every member of the Glory Squad on Demon Dragon Island has their own destiny and should accept the challenges they face. However, this little girl needs no external influence; her mission was completed the day she was born into this world.

"Her gaze will be an eternal symbol of light for the entire world. No one can harm her in the slightest. The only thing you can do is revere her, worshipping her as a god, just like all beings on Yingzhou Continent. Your recent actions, wantonly offending her without remorse, are enough for me to kill you ten thousand times over."

Xu Yang's voice was as cold as that of an omnipotent king. As his brilliantly golden light enveloped Little Mushroom, she no longer needed to fear any external force harming her, protected by the Angelic Glory. She continued to gaze at the world with an innocent expression.

She was also intently observing the greatest secret within the Demon Dragon Emperor. "I feel it, Brother A'Yang," Little Mushroom said. "I sense another completely different life force pulsating within the Demon Dragon King's body. One physical form containing two distinct heartbeats indicates that the Demon Dragon Emperor must have devoured someone's power.

"Alternatively, he might naturally be an irregular, anomalous life form. Once under sufficient pressure, this incomplete combined form will be forcibly separated. Perhaps this could be the best way for Brother A'Yang to conquer this Demon Dragon Emperor."

Little Mushroom transmitted all her observations and insights on how to counter the opponent directly into Xu Yang's mind via mental power. Guided by Little Mushroom, Xu Yang's combat strategy became much clearer. He suddenly transformed into a stream of light and shot forward, arriving ten meters in front of the Demon Dragon Emperor, having already breached the terrifying energy barrier that the Demon Dragon Emperor had long since established beyond a hundred meters.

Little did they know, how could the energy of the Demon Dragon's barrier possibly stop Xu Yang, who defied all rules? A true Angel God is never limited by any confinement laws, regardless of form or state. This is the unparalleled glory unique to the Angel Race, a symbol of their powerful and noble bloodline.

Upon sensing the indescribably noble aura emanating from Xu Yang, the Demon Dragon Emperor's inherent pride significantly receded in the presence of this man. His eyes even became a little calmer.

"It seems you are my greatest destined enemy. Without a doubt, today's battle will determine many things; even the future power dynamics of the entire Yingzhou Continent will change because of it."

Xu Yang agreed with the Demon Dragon King's statement and nodded with a smile. "Before we begin, I have one question I'd like you to answer: How exactly did you create those spirit stones in the Endless Sea?"

The Demon Dragon Emperor seemed to have anticipated Xu Yang's curiosity. Since the topic had already been raised, there was no need to conceal anything. The Demon Dragon King simply waved his hand, and one massive demon dragon cocoon after another materialized before him. Unbeknownst to many, these gigantic cocoons were actually dragon eggs nurtured by the demon dragons themselves.

However, only some of these dragon eggs could hatch into powerful offspring. The others would fail in their bloodline mutation and evolution, unable to form complete, true demon dragon individuals.

The life within these cracked eggs would ultimately perish the moment it attempted to hatch. After their demise, the powerful draconic life essence contained within these eggs would rapidly cool, transforming the cold eggs into the spirit stones found in the Endless Sea.

"It seems my judgment was correct," Xu Yang mused. "The so-called spirit stones are indeed another evolutionary form of your Demon Dragon clan's life force, just as I suspected. It appears that while your Demon Dragon clan possesses endless vitality, producing offspring is quite difficult. The survival rate of your dragon eggs is probably less than one percent, isn't it?

"Even if they do hatch, the true dragon offspring's elemental attributes are entirely random. No wonder top-tier experts are so rare among your Demon Dragon clan. Perhaps this is an eternal law across all realms: the stronger a race's bloodline, the fewer descendants it has. This applies to dragons, and it applies to angels as well!

"I suddenly have a bold idea," Xu Yang continued. "After I personally conquer you, I will use my methods to release the other life form within you, and then carry out certain modifications to the entire Demon Dragon Island.

"I won't completely exterminate your Demon Dragon clan's bloodline. Instead, I will utilize your bloodline to further control the spiritual energy output of the entire Yingzhou Continent. By then, the ones who dictate the fate of Yingzhou Continent will undoubtedly be none other than our Glory Squad."

The opponent clearly understood Xu Yang's intentions. "You wish to conquer our Demon Dragon clan and make us your puppets? To use the spirit stones formed from the dragon eggs nurtured by our powerful life force to monopolize resources and control the entire Yingzhou Continent?

"Stop your delusional fantasies here. Not only does your Glory Squad lack the qualifications and strength to defeat the Dragon clan, but even if you did, why would our Demon Dragon clan willingly become your puppets?"

Xu Yang burst into laughter. "That's not for you to worry about. Rest assured, leave it to me; I will certainly give you an answer you can accept."

Xu Yang's words undeniably carried a mocking tone, as if the outcome of the battle was already sealed before it even began. And indeed, daring to oppose Xu Yang's Glory Squad—even if the opponent was the truly formidable Demon Dragon clan, a lineage at the apex of the Yingzhou Continent's food chain—left them with no grounds for pride.
