Chapter 1133: Light and Dark Dual Combination

When Shi Tiandao saw Xuanwu and Zhanlang, the two Heavenly Kings, deliberately acting so subserviently around the Plancius couple, he was once again enraged. To him, it would have been better if the Plancius couple had simply eradicated them on the spot. Their current display of groveling for survival truly brought shame upon the Emperor Soul Battle Group.

"You two! Is this the outcome of centuries of my cultivation?" Shi Tiandao's voice was bone-chilling. After all, he had always held high hopes for these two, the youngest of the Eight Heavenly Kings.

Having personally nurtured them, Shi Tiandao was utterly disillusioned by their current state. He raised a hand, and two streams of intensely cold black flames descended, instantly incinerating Xuanwu and Zhanlang, the two Heavenly Kings, into nothingness.

In the end, they did not perish at the hands of the Plancius couple, but rather at the hands of their own master, Shi Tiandao.

"You have all done exceptionally well. Every member of the Glorious Dragon Riders Battle Group has exceeded my expectations this time. From this battle onward, your renown will spread throughout the Western Region of Yingzhou Continent and even across its other major domains in the shortest possible time. This is the glory you have earned."

Xu Yang's words had become the greatest source of motivation and encouragement for every member of the Glorious Dragon Riders. In fact, for them, receiving a single word of praise from Boss Xu Yang was far more thrilling than being given mountains of gold and silver.

Perhaps, in their eyes, no worldly gift was as precious as a word of affirmation from Boss Xu Yang. After all, Xu Yang was a god-like figure, standing at the very pinnacle of this world, and to receive praise from a god was the greatest boon for all beings.

"What about Vajra and the Captain? How are they doing now?" the Plancius couple immediately asked upon returning to Xu Yang and the others.

Xu Yang offered a slight smile. "Since you're so eager to know the outcome of their battle, I'll create a scenario for you."

As his words faded, Xu Yang lightly raised his hand towards the void, and an incredibly transparent spatial rift opened. Within this space, Vajra's figure reappeared in everyone's sight, along with his opponents in this battle: Chaoyang and Xiyang, the two Heavenly Kings.

To everyone's great astonishment, Chaoyang and Xiyang were both suspended high in the void, like divine beings.

Behind Chaoyang, the Heavenly King on the left, was an endless expanse of light, while Xiyang, the Heavenly King on the right, was shrouded in boundless darkness. These two embodied light and shadow, respectively.

To defeat them, both had to be destroyed simultaneously; otherwise, it would be meaningless. According to Xu Yang's understanding, if only one of them were eliminated, the other could use their power to heal their partner's injuries.

The two were fundamentally co-dependent, existing in a symbiotic relationship of mutual generation and restraint. To defeat such opponents, the first step was to find a way to break the energy balance between them, as this was the core method for maximally restricting their respective powers.

At this moment, Vajra also unleashed his incredibly potent combat abilities. Even without employing the Demonic Dragon's power, he still exuded the formidable influence of a god of war. After all, Vajra would never use the Demonic Dragon's power unless absolutely necessary.

Although he had inherited the formidable bloodline of the Earth-attribute Demonic Dragon, the fated enmity between him and the Demonic Dragon lineage was not something that could be resolved in a word or overnight.

For this reason, since inheriting the Earth-attribute Demonic Dragon's power, Vajra had never used it. His original Vajra strength was usually sufficient to sweep aside almost any opponent. However, facing the highly unique opponents Chaoyang and Xiyang, Vajra was still preparing for the worst.

"Boss, in your opinion, what are the chances of Vajra the Behemoth destroying these opponents in this battle? I can sense that these two are extraordinary, perhaps the most formidable pair among the Eight Heavenly Kings. They certainly aren't simple to defeat one by one!" Lister remarked, puffing on his cigar, and his words were not without merit.

"Indeed," Xu Yang nodded. "The abilities displayed by Heavenly Kings Chaoyang and Xiyang seem to have elevated to the level of a different kind of law."

Xu Yang chuckled, shaking his head slightly. "If these two brothers could advance further in their cultivation realms, breaking through that barrier and transcending the limits of their own cultivation system, they might truly be able to push these two dual-origin powers of light and darkness to a genuine law-level intensity.

As it stands, however, they are merely manifesting rules in localized areas. As long as Vajra's power can break through the strength limit that their rules can withstand, no matter how powerful the forces they wield, they can only face destruction."

Xu Yang's strategy for defeating his enemies was remarkably clear and direct: the so-called "one force breaks all laws." As long as power reached its absolute peak, any limitation imposed by rules became meaningless.

Rules were only established for those who couldn't break them and were passively forced to obey. When confronted by a truly unyielding destructive force, rules were far less formidable than imagined.

What truly mattered was possessing a powerful inner conviction, fearless of anyone, and believing that one's own strength could destroy everything. Without such an unwavering belief, within the dual light-and-dark vision, one's will to fight could be utterly extinguished, which would inevitably lead to the demise of Vajra the Behemoth.

"Heh heh, so what? With so many of us, if just two went up to help that old ape, those two wouldn't stand a chance anyway."

Guglas's suggestion was immediately met with unanimous eye-rolls from every member of the Glorious Dragon Riders Battle Group nearby. "Are you implying that you look down on Vajra's strength with that remark? Don't forget, he's the most powerful member of our Glorious Dragon Riders Battle Group!"

At that very moment, Vajra's feet suddenly erupted with astonishing power, launching his massive body skyward. The height he achieved in a single leap utterly astonished the leaders of every other battle group standing nearby.

"My heavens, this enormous fellow can actually fly? That's absolutely preposterous! What kind of bloodline talent could possibly grant Vajra such terrifying combat prowess?"

Xu Yang couldn't help but chuckle at these remarks.
