Chapter 1116: Reunion

Xu Yang hadn't held much hope for his initial judgment; the idea had simply flashed through his mind, and he'd decided to try his luck. To his surprise, he had indeed stumbled upon the true answer.

As soon as he realized the situation, his rage instantly flared to its peak. He had once sworn that he would never permit anyone to harm any of his teammates.

Even though the Demonic Dragon Emperor hadn't intended to swallow Little Flower and forcibly suppress her soul, such an act had undeniably crossed Xu Yang's bottom line.

The only thing he intended to do today was to utterly destroy the Emperor, rescue Little Flower, and help her recover from her dormant state. Fortunately, Xu Yang could sense that Little Flower's soul essence hadn't suffered even the slightest harm. However, he had no idea where her physical body was, and even he couldn't find the answer.

"Ah Yang, I can't believe I'm really seeing you in this world again!" Just as Xu Yang's expression grew distant, Little Flower's voice once more echoed in his mind.

At that same moment, the Demonic Dragon Emperor, trapped by Xu Yang within his dreamscape illusion, began to struggle desperately, trying to suppress Little Flower's soul aura.

Perhaps Xu Yang's presence had given Little Flower immense encouragement and energy, causing her soul aura to continuously strengthen and gradually break through the limits of what the Demonic Dragon Emperor could suppress. Simultaneously, their soul communication was re-established.

"What exactly happened? Why was your soul brought into the Demonic Dragon Emperor's body? Where is your physical body now? Tell me everything—what's going on? How can I rescue you?"

Little Flower shook her head helplessly. "When we were being teleported to Yingzhou Continent, I, like everyone else, was dispersed into different regions of the continent. However, during that process, I felt an extremely powerful force suddenly intervene, preventing my body and soul from descending into this world at the same frequency. Perhaps because my power level wasn't high enough within the system of myriad planes, there was a deviation during teleportation. By chance, my soul essence was directly transported into the Demonic Dragon Emperor's body.

"Later, we engaged in a series of struggles, but unfortunately, the Demonic Dragon Emperor's power did not originate from the myriad planes system. Without the support of my physical body's strength, I couldn't overcome its power, which is why I'm in this suppressed state. As for my physical body's whereabouts? I don't know myself, but I'm certain it hasn't been affected by external forces; it should be dormant somewhere on Yingzhou Continent."

Xu Yang nodded in relief upon hearing this. "That makes things easy then. Just wait a moment; I'll deal with this guy and release your soul very soon."

Little Flower offered a faint smile. "Of course, I trust your abilities. Seeing you makes me feel much more at ease."

This was the last sentence of their brief exchange. After speaking, Little Flower returned to a dormant state. When Xu Yang reawakened, the furious black aura emanating from him clearly indicated his current resolve.

He was already eager to break through all restraints and destroy any power that dared to stand in his way. "Oh my god, when the boss gets angry, he's truly terrifying," someone remarked. "Even before he made a move, I already felt a shiver down my spine. This Demonic Dragon Emperor is probably going to pay the price."

Every member of the Glory Team wore an expression of schadenfreude, eager to see how Xu Yang would deal with the Demonic Dragon Emperor before them.

As expected, Xu Yang's move did not disappoint the onlookers when it came to a being that had crossed his bottom line. He immediately summoned his Divine Artifact, Tu Tian, and unleashed his most powerful strike directly at the Demonic Dragon Emperor's physical body.

It was well known that previously, when Xu Yang used Tu Tian, he didn't infuse it with any special power; its inherent sharpness alone was enough to crush any opponent. This time, however, Xu Yang poured all his rage into this single strike of Tu Tian.

As expected, under this earth-shattering sword strike, even though the Demonic Dragon Emperor was immensely powerful and had already begun to gather its strongest energy, it ultimately couldn't withstand the terrifying might of this single sword. Everything was instantly annihilated into nothingness.

"Holy cow! It's over already? No way, am I seeing things?" The surrounding environment and space vanished without a trace. Every member of the Glory Team began to look at each other in bewilderment, as if they had just woken from a dream.

In the very instant that illusion descended, the god-like Demonic Dragon Emperor, ruler of the entire Endless Sea, was annihilated by Xu Yang. With one strike of the Tu Tian Divine Artifact, not a single being on the entire Yingzhou Continent could withstand such power.

The Demonic Dragon Emperor's entire body, flesh and blood, was completely refined into nothingness by Xu Yang's sword. Along with it, all the life essence it had accumulated for countless years vanished entirely. The name Demonic Dragon Emperor was thus permanently erased by Xu Yang in his rage.

What made everyone even more incredulous was Xu Yang's god-like mastery of power in this sword strike! On one hand, he crushed the Demonic Dragon Emperor so thoroughly that not a trace remained, yet on the other, he managed to ensure that Little Flower's soul, sealed within the Emperor, remained completely unharmed.

"Hahahaha, it's a real shame the boss isn't a chef with that knife work!" someone exclaimed. "In all my years, I've never seen anyone who can wield power to such an extreme. The boss will undoubtedly be the god I worship forever!"

In his immense excitement, Guglas actually knelt on one knee across the void towards Xu Yang, clasping his hand to his chest and beginning to pray. This, however, drew a sneer from Lister beside him.

"I say, the boss isn't even back yet, you don't have to grovel so shamelessly!" Lister scoffed. "I can understand flattering him to his face, but bowing so obsequiously is truly an embarrassment to us brothers. You should do it this way!"

After Lister finished speaking, he promptly prostrated himself completely towards the void, which drew a chorus of boos from everyone. Little Mushroom, the girl, couldn't help but burst into laughter, openly mocking Lister.

"So, after all that?" Little Mushroom retorted, "You're the top sycophant in the Glory Team!"

However, in the blink of an eye, Xu Yang completed his exclusive duel. He hadn't initially been so furious or eager to end the battle quickly, but the opponent's actions had thoroughly enraged him, leaving no chance for further struggle.

"Dare to cross my bottom line? No matter who you are, there's only one outcome: demise!"

Xu Yang uttered this incredibly domineering statement, then landed steadily and walked towards the location of Little Flower's soul, which was still in a dormant state.
