Chapter 1392: The Strategy to Defeat the Enemy

"Hahaha, as expected of Sir Xu Yang, the man with the greatest influence on Yingzhou Continent. Your reputation is truly well-deserved, but I'm afraid you've misunderstood something. This place cannot be overcome by your powerful individual strength alone. Just like the River of Oblivion before you, no matter how insignificant it may seem, when hundreds of thousands of top experts behind you try to cross it, there will still be casualties. You should understand what I mean. No matter how powerful you are, your life force is ultimately limited. Your numbers will always be an insurmountable weakness. As for us Spirit Warriors, as long as we remain in the treasure land and its seal has not been broken, we possess infinite vitality. Even if one of us falls, a new life form can be instantly reborn. Any powerful combat strength appears too fragile in the face of eternity, and you are destined to be unable to cross this threshold."

The voice belonged to the Spirit Warrior leader who was on the verge of perishing. After speaking, he dissolved into nothingness, but the defiant aura he exuded remained unchanged despite his demise.

It was precisely by witnessing this individual's demise that Xu Yang received guidance and a hint on another level. "He is right," Xu Yang mused, "if we continue to fight this way, the timeline of this war will be extended indefinitely. And in the face of eternity, how fragile will time be?" Xu Yang's sudden reflection caused the hundreds of thousands of previously confident and high-spirited warriors behind him to quiet down instantly. Everyone began contemplating this new problem. For a moment, the River of Oblivion regained its tranquility, as if the words of the Spirit Warriors who had just perished had been confirmed: human power is ultimately limited in the face of vast, transformative change.

"Boss, what should we do next then? As those creatures said, their numbers are infinite. If we continue to fight relentlessly, our end will be exhaustion and death."

Xu Yang did not ponder further; he preferred to view this seemingly insurmountable predicament as a challenge to overcome. "I wonder if any of you have heard the saying: any difficulty in the world, as long as you can divide it into ten equal parts and then break through them one by one, can ultimately be conquered. The River of Oblivion blocking our path is merely the initial one-tenth of this calamitous battle. Until we reach the end, who can truly know the outcome of this war?"

After speaking, Xu Yang closed his eyes without hesitation. Within his mind, the power of the Earth Law rapidly condensed. The hundreds of thousands of warriors behind him all levitated into the air in the shortest possible time. Meanwhile, from the boundless, vast land behind the River of Oblivion, countless rocks and swirling sand swept forth wildly, surging furiously into the River of Oblivion under the summoning and guidance of Xu Yang's Earth Law.

The entire process lasted for about half an hour. The originally calm and vast River of Oblivion was completely filled under the sole guidance of Xu Yang's Earth Law. Xu Yang had utilized the immensely powerful Earth Law to transfer the surrounding sand and stones beneath the River of Oblivion, effectively filling the entire body of water.

Such power undoubtedly left the hundreds of thousands of top cultivators from Yingzhou Continent utterly dumbfounded. "My heavens," one exclaimed, "perhaps it was only in that very moment that I truly grasped the immense power gap between us and Boss Xu Yang. The ability to stir up winds and clouds, to move mountains and fill seas with a mere flick of the wrist—such a magnificent demeanor and realm are simply beyond the reach of us ordinary mortals!"

This action, while seemingly having no substantial impact on the overall victory of the war, nevertheless brought unimaginable, shocking inspiration to the hundreds of thousands of powerful individuals from all factions of Yingzhou Continent. "Exactly," someone cried out, "for us cultivators, isn't it all about repeatedly turning the impossible into the possible? I ask everyone here, who among you, when you first began cultivating, could have envisioned achieving the accomplishments and power you possess today? We have all reached this point step by step, overcoming numerous difficulties through our own efforts. Now, what stands before us is the final catastrophe for Yingzhou Continent. The only thing we can do is conquer it!" The hundreds of thousands of top cultivators from Yingzhou Continent erupted in a furious roar, as if the entire world's shouts were concentrated at that moment on the filled River of Oblivion. As they stepped onto the area that had just been the River of Oblivion but was now scorched earth, the most fervent flame of determination burned within their hearts.

"Boss, what exactly should our next move be?" asked Xiao Hua. Clearly, Xu Yang already had a plan.

"Through that last battle, although I instantly killed those dozen Spirit Warrior leaders with the Soul Great Hand Seal, I also captured some special details from their life force. If my deduction is correct, the appearance of these Spirit Warriors' life forms is guided by a single power, meaning there's a certain special connection, greater or lesser, between each individual Spirit Warrior. And the ultimate leader controlling these Spirit Warriors is the Fourth Prince's mother, who is the final boss controlling the source of the Starlight Power system. Therefore, our ultimate goal now is to find the Fourth Prince's mother and figure out how to break the outer seal of the entire treasure land, locating the energy source that connects all these Spirit Warriors. The greatest characteristic of Starlight Power is not just its ability to significantly boost each warrior's combat strength when night falls. More importantly, they should possess a certain degree of talent for diversifying incoming attack power. This means that if we unleash highly destructive, widespread attacks against them, it won't produce the desired effect. Because the moment a burst of power explodes, if your targeted Spirit Warrior count is ten, then your explosive power will be divided and absorbed by those ten individuals. Similarly, if the number of individual Spirit Warriors you strike at once reaches ten thousand, it means the explosive power of your technique will be dispersed ten thousand times. Therefore, this life-force talent means we cannot end this battle in the shortest time possible, nor can I alone control the entire battlefield. So, from now on, these hundreds of thousands of cultivators must all contribute their own power. I require each of the five great domains to dispatch their strongest leader. They will respectively guide the five great legions to surround the treasure land from five directions. We will launch an attack simultaneously from all five directions, thereby maximizing the overall combat strength of our hundreds of thousands of experts."
