Chapter 1364: Sealing on the Way to the Holy Beast's Heart

Xu Yang had no desire to speak directly with him. He unhesitatingly transformed into a streak of light, reappearing behind the true body of Xuanwu. Upon reappearing, Xu Yang plunged the Jade Bone Divine Sword directly through Xuanwu's right arm.

The specific reason he targeted that body part was his discovery while previously working with the Xuanwu clone: the creature always intentionally or unintentionally kept its right arm tucked behind its back.

This was truly confirmed by Xu Yang when the Xuanwu clone broke free from the siege of the Rat clan and reappeared before him: the right arm was indeed his fatal weakness.

This was closely related to the innate bloodline attributes of the Xuanwu clan. Upon discovering this, Xu Yang decisively struck, piercing a hidden acupoint beneath Xuanwu's right arm with a single sword thrust. Xuanwu's true body let out a painful roar but was unable to immediately retaliate against Xu Yang.

He was acutely aware of the significant power gap between himself and Xu Yang; even an immediate counterattack would be futile.

Thus, his instinct was to break free from the sword's restraint and return to his original position in the void.

"Damn it, you saw through my fatal weakness. As expected of my boss, it seems you already guessed that one day my two bodies would merge."

Xu Yang gently shook his finger. "There's one more secret you don't know."

"Because the corresponding memory has been forcibly erased from the Xuanwu clone's mind. The corresponding part of his body as a clone is no longer a fatal weakness; I forcibly altered the structure of his acupoints. So, this sword only injured you."

Xuanwu was greatly astonished after Xu Yang finished speaking.

In this way, he and the Xuanwu clone were no longer a single entity. The instinctive pain from the wound would constantly remind the soul of Xuanwu's true body.

Meanwhile, the part of the soul corresponding to the dormant Xuanwu clone would receive no pain sensation.

Therefore, the soul that remained awake was that of Xuanwu's true body.

This meant that by eliminating the instincts still capable of responding to the outside world, Xu Yang could destroy the soul power of Xuanwu's true body.

"Perish! Eye of the Soul!!"

Following Xu Yang's roar, a brilliant golden light immediately shot from his pupils directly into those of Xuanwu's true body, instantly shattering his soul world.

The opponent's eyes immediately turned grayish-white, and his body slowly fell from the void. After the success, Xu Yang and his team members immediately stepped forward.

Xu Yang placed his palm on Xuanwu's physical body, pressing it onto the center of his forehead, and began to awaken the other dormant part of his soul using his Law of Light.

After a full ten minutes, Xuanwu revived, though his condition appeared quite weak. But when the familiar address of "boss" was heard again, everyone finally understood that Xu Yang had succeeded.

He had once again performed a miracle. The Xuanwu now before them was the true Xuanwu, their familiar companion.

Witnessing this, the White Tiger youth's eyes welled up with emotion. Beside him, Azure Dragon and Little Flower also nodded repeatedly, expressing their amazement at Xu Yang's astonishing, heaven-defying methods.

The somewhat weakened Xuanwu, at this moment, could not make many movements, but at least he had found his true self again.

Xu Yang looked at Azure Dragon beside him. "Following the method I taught you earlier, you and this young one will guard this place and help him recover his vitality. Although his soul is relatively weak and his soul power will continuously dissipate over time, his ability to awaken proves that his bloodline talent has not abandoned this part of his soul. Therefore, continue to repair it."

"The Xuanwu clan's most powerful divine beast talent is the recovery of vitality. It won't be long before he recovers to his peak state, and with the assistance of my Law of Light, he won't suffer any lasting harm; in fact, his cultivation path will be even smoother in the future."

"Don't worry, boss, we won't follow you into this teleportation array. You and Sister Little Flower should go together. More importantly, both of you possess the primal power of the Beast King lineage as a foundation, so even if the Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor tries any tricks, he absolutely won't be able to harm either of you."

"If the Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor truly meets his demise prematurely in this battle, it will signify the dawn of a new era for the Yun Clan Imperial Dynasty across the entire Yingzhou Continent."

Xu Yang and Little Flower exchanged a glance, then immediately touched the light of the array before them. The two transformed into a streak of light and vanished from before Azure Dragon and the others.

It was at this moment that a brilliant light resonated above Demon King Valley. The masked female envoy also regained her soul's true state, no longer bewildered as she was when controlled by the Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor.

After communicating with the other lost individuals around her, the female envoy finally realized what the Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor had done to her. It turned out that for a considerable period, he had been using a very special soul control method on her, turning her into his puppet to do his bidding.

The instant the array's light flashed brightly, the soul communication between the masked female envoy and the Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor was severed.

Because upon entering the array's internal space, Xu Yang and Little Flower immediately set up a barrier, completely severing the connection between that space and the core of the entire teleportation array. This was to prevent the Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor from escaping midway. It was precisely due to this action that the Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor within the array space lost subsequent control over the masked female envoy.

Having recovered her consciousness, the masked female envoy naturally regained her ability to speak. She looked in that direction with hazy eyes. "Boss, Sister Little Flower, you must succeed and slay that culprit, the Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor."

Little did she know that Yun Wangji, the God of the Continent, had been imprisoned by that very tyrant!

Upon entering the array's internal space, Xu Yang and Little Flower simultaneously released their Angel Domains. Combined with the illumination of the Law of Light, they completely lit up the originally pitch-black space.

They also noticed that it appeared to be a shattered galaxy.

This scene reminded Xu Yang of the place where the Qiankun Bell had originally shattered and fallen into eternal slumber. It was within the endless void of this very galaxy that fragments of divine artifacts had gradually accumulated and combined.

After seeing this scene, Xu Yang smiled faintly and immediately summoned the Bell Spirit of the Qiankun Bell to his side once more.

"Old fellow, does this place look familiar to you? It's quite similar to the starry domain where you were imprisoned in the Great World. Speaking of which, this might even have been your doing, Little Flower, back then."

Little Flower, however, shook her head. "No, do you remember the old soul in that giant boulder at the foot of the mountain? He was the true supreme expert who conquered the Qiankun Bell back then. Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to achieve true godhood in the Great World due to the Nine Dragon Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, there would surely have been a battle between him and me."
