Chapter 1179: Breaking Free

The mounting pressure, combined with the surging waves and their suffocating effect, made everyone in the team and both factions extremely uncomfortable. Little Flower's Angel Domain also couldn't be sustained for long under these unique circumstances. This was because she needed to conserve enough stamina to coordinate with Xu Yang's subsequent actions and had no intention of dedicating all her power to maintaining the Angel Domain's stability, as the return would be too low.

"Now!" Xu Yang suddenly yelled. At that instant, the hundred-zhang long jade bone sword light finally shattered deep within the ocean, causing a massive commotion. The power of this collapsing sword light was so immense that it completely disrupted the rhythm of the waves. It seemed everyone trapped in the underwater space, holding their breath, experienced increased pressure. However, from another perspective, the absolute static space created by Xu Yang's collapsing sword could last for a full minute.

"Even if it's uncertain, I have to try now. If it truly doesn't work, at least I'll have done right by everyone," a thought flashed through Xu Yang's mind. For someone as dominant and confident as him to express uncertainty, it proved that activating two divine laws simultaneously was almost impossible. Theoretically, the inheritances of the three divine laws do not belong to a single person. This means the ultimate power of these three cultivation methods represents peak attainments in their respective elemental domains, essentially moving in completely opposite directions. The law powers created by three different individuals are, in theory, absolutely impossible to merge. Moreover, they wouldn't produce a positive synergistic effect. Yet, this time, Xu Yang intended to defy fate. He wanted to see what kind of feedback would be generated by the explosive convergence of these two ultimate laws.

To successfully merge cultivation powers of different attributes, a head-on approach would certainly not work. One needed to use ingenuity and strategic thinking to achieve the desired outcome. Such a thought flashed through Xu Yang's mind. Simultaneously, he manipulated the Law of Earth with his left hand and the Law of Ocean with his right. The instant the lights of both laws converged, a thunderbolt roared from the center of the sky, striking fiercely into the endless deep sea, directly above Xu Yang's head.

At the same time, as if suddenly entering a berserk mode, he frantically forced the law powers through his left and right palms. Fortunately, this surge did not bring more severe repercussions for Xu Yang. The reason was simple: he never fought battles he wasn't confident in. However, this time, even he lacked a definitive understanding of whether he could simultaneously control the Law of Earth and the Law of Ocean. In essence, he was gambling with everyone's lives, making a choice of destiny.

Fortunately, the God of Destiny was on their side this time. The Law of Earth and the Law of Ocean were both activated and successfully utilized. At that very moment, Xu Yang unleashed these two entirely different powers onto the battlefield. Finally, the two opposing laws converged furiously in Xu Yang's left and right palms, beginning to evolve almost simultaneously. They were ultimately sealed deep within this sea area, using Xu Yang's spiritual power to influence the state of all surrounding creatures. Indeed, it wasn't long before Xu Yang obtained what he desired from these two almost perfect laws.

"Now, law fusion!" Xu Yang suddenly roared, a thunderous sound. In that instant, Xu Yang's pupils changed color: the left, representing the Law of Ocean, condensed into a brilliant blue, while the right, representing the incredibly powerful Law of Earth, condensed into a brownish-yellow.

It must be said, when dressed, the young man had a certain handsomeness about him. However, such trivial matters were no longer important. Xu Yang's immediate priority was how to help the team and the surrendered swordsman followers escape danger. The entire law fusion process proceeded relatively smoothly. No issues arose that even Xu Yang would find particularly difficult, and the state of relative fusion was achieved.

Xu Yang then used the two lights of law in his palms to condense a dragon head form that was exceptionally familiar to everyone. This colossal golden Dragon King circled around the team members, then shot skyward, vanishing in the blink of an eye. When those who were to be saved opened their eyes again and regained their composure, they saw that, at some unknown point, Xu Yang had become enveloped by an incredibly intricate giant totem, formed by the two merged laws. Every other team member was encompassed within the power of this immense totem law, and guided by Xu Yang's spiritual energy, they returned to the surface with the help of the Law Dragon Soul.

"Oh my goodness, that was incredibly exhilarating! Boss, if you hadn't unleashed that final powerful Dragon Law, I fear we all would have perished deep beneath the water. From what I know, there are dozens of top-tier evil entities slumbering in this place, and they are not beings one can resist with mere personal strength."

Arno's telepathic message reached every mind in the team. Everyone was increasingly impressed by Xu Yang's actions and secretly gave a thumbs-up to his overall charisma. Shortly after, the Law Dragon Soul soared into the sky, safely deposited every team member onto the ground, and then quietly disappeared on its own.

The entire process completely stunned all members from both factions. Even some of the younger, newly joined swordsmen recruits couldn't fully comprehend how Xu Yang had managed to pull off such a heaven-defying feat.

"There was once a rumor in our Central Domain Royal Family that whoever could escape the Lover's City dungeon as a death row inmate would be appointed a general. Boss Xu Yang, I'd say you could apply for a general's position right now! Wouldn't that align perfectly with the Central Domain Royals' desires? To command a thousand armies?"

Xu Yang, however, burst into laughter. "I've already told you, I have no interest whatsoever in the royal power and nobility of the Yingzhou Continent. You naturally wouldn't understand what I pursue. In any case, we have now escaped. Whether you are my brothers or from the Swordsman Faction, all of you who were once adversaries are now free to choose the course of your own destinies."

When Xu Yang finished speaking, the imagined cheers did not materialize. Instead, led by Old Seven Swordsman, they all dropped to their knees before Xu Yang with a thud, and every swordsman guard around them followed suit.
