Chapter 1178: Double Law Fusion

With Little Flower by his side, Xu Yang felt exceptionally secure and confident, no matter what decision he made. More importantly, as the true leader of the Angel lineage, Little Flower possessed the purest form of angelic power, second only to Xu Yang himself.

The angelic domain she manifested would undoubtedly protect everyone around them from harm. The only thing beyond their control was how to handle the external tidal forces once the magic formation collapsed.

In fact, Xu Yang already had a preliminary plan. If the surrounding tidal forces were within the range he imagined, he could, in a critical moment, combine the power of the Ocean Law with the Earth Law.

However, Xu Yang had never attempted to use two divine laws simultaneously, and he was unsure if it would achieve the effect he envisioned.

A terrifying rumble echoed once more, signaling that the Lover's City dungeon space was on the verge of collapse. Time was running out for Xu Yang; he had to act immediately.

Finally, at his command, everyone from both factions present concentrated, channeling their energy fluctuations precisely according to Xu Yang's guidance.

Soon, a massive, coalesced energy halo formed, with everyone's energies interconnected and resonating, creating a combined domain effect. Concurrently, Little Flower's angelic domain descended once more.

The protective domain space, which they collectively sustained, was solidified, effectively providing a sufficiently powerful energy barrier for this temporary refuge, preventing the endless external torrents from instantly engulfing them.

With this double layer of protection in place, Xu Yang released a halo that enveloped the internal area, then began to unleash his most powerful core energy.

In an instant, the Law of the Void manifested again. The Jade Bone Divine Sword, originating from Xu Yang's brow, projected a colossal hundred-zhang sword light. Under the influence of the Law of the Void, this sword light rapidly amplified, reaching ten times its initial intensity in an extremely short time.

A thunderous boom echoed through the void as the hundred-zhang giant sword slowly descended from the peak of emptiness. As everyone gazed up at the void above them, they witnessed this terrifying, world-splitting sword light bearing down upon their heads.

The profound shock and suffocating sensation they felt once again redefined the Eight Gates team members' and the Central Domain Royal Family swordsmen's understanding of ultimate power. At that moment, they realized that Xu Yang's name might now stand above all beings in the Central Domain Royal Family.

Within the entire royal family, apart from those reclusive living fossils, few could likely stand against Xu Yang.

"This is truly unbelievable," Crow exclaimed in amazement. "I can't believe a human can unleash this level of destructive power, and all by himself! If I could achieve even half of his strength in my lifetime, I'd consider myself incredibly fortunate!"

As Crow voiced his astonished sentiment, Crab suddenly appeared beside him, an irritating smirk on his face. He patted Crow's shoulder and said, "Be a little more realistic. Half is out of the question. Achieving a tenth of Captain Xu Yang's strength would be enough for you to dominate the continent."

Crab's remark was, of course, a jest at Crow's expense; a tenth was surely an exaggeration. However, Crow indeed did not currently possess the qualifications to achieve even half of Xu Yang's power.

The terrifying aura was entirely focused on the core of the central, rapidly collapsing magic formation. The closer the sword light drew to this core, the more pronounced the spatial pressure felt by those around. This process, however, was unavoidable; if they wanted to survive, this central core formation had to be shattered.

With another earth-shattering roar, Xu Yang finally shattered the magic formation before them with his incredibly powerful sword strike, in full view of everyone. This act also severed the central link connecting all the major mechanisms within the core region of the Lover's City dungeon.

It was as if the thread holding together the pearls that formed the dungeon's core had been violently cut. Consequently, the dungeon instantly lost its supply of formation power and interconnectedness, crumbling apart in a flash.

In a mere instant, the once perfectly intact internal space began to disintegrate before their eyes, breaking into countless cracks. The entire core area of the Lover's City dungeon space then shattered into myriad small, scattered fragments, becoming utterly dismembered.

This fragmented state, however, did not last long. The crumbling stone fragments, borne from the cracks, rapidly vanished from their sight, as if a massive vortex outside the space had been waiting for the moment of collapse.

Little did they know, the 'space' outside was not a product of someone's immense power, but the boundless tidal forces of the deep ocean, relentlessly washing over these trapped human experts in the central region.

It was then that Little Flower's unique ability became evident. Her flawless angelic power provided the most formidable protection, allowing them to feel the terrifying pressure from the external space without their physical bodies suffering any damage.

"Absolutely divine, truly miraculous!" Awen exclaimed. "I never imagined that not only is our boss incredibly powerful, but even our beautiful second-in-command possesses such incredible abilities. The power unleashed by the boss's sword could easily tear us all apart, but with that golden light from our beautiful second-in-command, we feel as if we're isolated in an alternate dimension, surrounded by peaceful, divine energy!"

Awen articulated his deepest impressions, immediately resonating with the entire Eight Gates team. Even Old Seven and his fellow swordsmen, who were originally bitter enemies of Xu Yang's group, were now utterly convinced by the duo of Little Flower and Xu Yang.

With their combined power—one focused on destruction, the other on protection—they could control the fate of everyone in the team with effortless ease. They had every reason to believe that even if the endless tidal waves outside surged in, it would be their death, not Xu Yang's or Little Flower's.

Soon after, the remaining space of the Lover's City dungeon completely shattered. Everyone's vision was engulfed by endless deep-sea waves; it was no exaggeration to say they couldn't see their own hands. At such depths, virtually no light could penetrate, reducing their visibility to almost zero.
