Chapter 1435: Headless War God

Even when facing their headless War God Emperor, the commander of the Imperial Guard had never felt such immense pressure as Xu Yang was now exerting on him.

“What terrifying pressure! Who exactly are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!”

Xu Yang scoffed. “You are not yet worthy to know my identity. Do I need to repeat myself? Take us to see the headless War God, otherwise, you will be utterly useless.”

This time, without waiting for the other party to act, Xu Yang instantly conjured a phantom image that appeared directly in front of the commander. With a wave of his hand, he lifted the man into the air. Terrifying power directly suppressed the commander’s throat, preventing him from breathing calmly like a normal person.

Just this single, thunderous move completely shattered the commander’s inner defenses. No matter how much he valued his position, when death silently approached, the man still forgot his duty. He also knew very well that with his own strength, he simply could not stop these mysterious outsiders. If he continued to offend and clash with them, he would not only become cannon fodder for no reason, but it also wouldn’t be good for the headless War God they were about to meet. Maintaining sufficient reverence for unknown powers is an act only a wise person would make.

“Esteemed experts, please do not be angry. I will now take you to His Majesty the headless War God’s sleeping quarters!”

At this critical juncture, the commander of the Imperial Guard finally chose to submit, and without hesitation, he swiftly led Xu Yang and the other three towards the target area.

When Xu Yang and his companions entered the sleeping palace, the dozen or so attendants around them were completely frozen in place by the power of the space-time law that Xu Yang had unleashed. They weren’t even aware when these four individuals had arrived, because under the influence of the space-time law, Xu Yang could have instantly reduced these dozen attendants to dust. However, he did not do so; he merely temporarily blocked their will. The headless War God before them, however, almost immediately reverted to his most powerful peak combat state, his gaze fixed coldly on Xu Yang. Then he swept his gaze towards the other three people beside Xu Yang.

“Who exactly are you? Possessing such formidable strength? And able to conceal your aura so perfectly that I, as one of the Twelve Guardians, cannot even ascertain your power.”

Xu Yang smiled faintly. “Don’t bother mentioning a mere Guardian’s identity. To be frank, we have come this time to learn the identities of the other Guardians within the Eye of Heaven Divine Path realm from you, because your identity as a single Guardian is simply not enough for our purposes.”

One must understand that Xu Yang had tried his best to make his tone seem approachable, but the shock value of his words was truly impossible to disguise. Because for the headless War God, the idea of a few cultivators daring to brazenly challenge a Guardian-level expert was almost unheard of in normal times. Because a Guardian, regardless of their strength, is directly connected to the supreme divine leadership system within the entire Divine Path realm. Casually offending a Guardian is an unwise move for any top cultivator within the Divine Path realm. He had never before witnessed such a powerful display as that of Xu Yang and his three companions. The headless War God burst into laughter.

“You must not know much about me, otherwise you wouldn’t have so rashly come to my palace, openly challenging my authority. ‘Headless War God’ – these four words are, in fact, a perfect assessment of my strength, because you can never truly kill me. The head carries a person’s soul, but without a skull, I have no weakness as a human. No matter how formidable your attack capabilities are, you will never be able to completely obliterate me in a single round. My shattered body will rapidly regenerate under the influence of the powerful divine source within me, and even if you exhaust all the divine source within your bodies, you will be unable to completely deprive me of my life. If I didn’t possess such an ability, do you think I could be one of the leaders of the Five Empires within the Eye of Heaven Divine Path realm?”

Xu Yang remained expressionless, but Long Kun and Ling Yao exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“It’s clear you’re very confident in your strength and status. To put it another way, you know nothing about our strength. Today, we’ll show you what true power is.”

Having said that, Long Kun unhesitatingly transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared before the headless War God, directly striking his body with a punch. In that instant, streaks of lightning-fast light spread from his fist to every part of the War God’s body. The dense, overwhelming light almost completely shattered the headless War God’s body into countless fragments. As the headless War God let out a muffled roar, a look of shock appeared on his face at the unimaginably terrifying strength of the individual before him.

“Impossible! What kind of power is this? Are you perhaps from beyond other divine realms? I have never witnessed such terrifying and domineering lightning-attribute divine source release! It can actually paralyze the mobilization of the divine source within me, preventing my physical body from rapidly regenerating in a very short time! Tell me, how did you do this?”

Long Kun burst into laughter. “With your strength, you are not qualified to inquire about us. Just now you dared to offend our boss right in front of us. Do you know that he could crush you to dust with just one toe? Forget about you, a mere Guardian; even if the supreme leader of the Eye of Heaven Divine Path were to descend, he would only be fit to speak while kneeling before our boss.”

Long Kun’s words not only elevated his team members to a higher standing, but also implicitly highlighted Xu Yang’s unparalleled status and power. As these words were spoken, the headless War God, almost involuntarily, collapsed at Long Kun’s feet, letting out a groan of pain. At the same time, an endless regret could be felt in his heart.

“Consider me blind and ignorant. I was unaware of the arrival of such formidable excellencies. May I dare to ask, what is your true purpose in coming here? And what is the reason for seeking the Guardian positions?”

This time, Xu Yang personally stepped forward and stood before the headless War God, who now appeared subservient.

“To tell you the truth, we came to you because we want to obtain the list of identities for the other Guardians within the Eye of Heaven Divine Path realm. This way, the four of us can acquire four Guardian identities and gain the opportunity to interact with the Master God of the Eye of Heaven Divine Path.”

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, the headless War God finally let out a sigh.

“Very well, just do it then. Because as a Guardian, I am not authorized to reveal the identities of other Guardians. Doing so would violate my duty as a Guardian, and also my oath of allegiance to the Supreme God. More importantly, I actually don’t know the complete list of all twelve Guardians. I only know that two other individuals hold Guardian identities, and of course, I won’t tell you who those two are. Kill me if you wish.”

Xiaohua, who had been silent for a while, revealed a sweet smile and walked to Xu Yang’s side, looking down with cold eyes at the headless War God prostrate before her. The once lofty emperor was now less than an ant in Xiaohua’s presence.

“Do you think we won’t know just because you don’t tell us?”
