Chapter 1443: Dark Abyss

Xu Yang smiled. He knew the old dragon was proud and wouldn't want to lose face in front of the beast tribes he despised and before Lord God Karl.

"Of course I know your strength," Xu Yang said. "Even if you acted alone, these guys wouldn't stand a chance. I just want to speed up our conquest of them. After all, we have more important things to do."

As expected, the dragon burst into laughter upon hearing Xu Yang's words. "Then let us, master and servant, teach these ignorant wretches a lesson!"

After the man and dragon merged, Xu Yang lightly waved his palm, and the Jade Bone Divine Sword reappeared. The power of the Eternal Sword Dao was terrifying. Xu Yang held the sword with one hand, while the massive dragon beneath him let out an earth-shattering roar.

Nine streams of true dragon energy swirled around the brilliant sword qi forged by Xu Yang's Eternal Sword Dao, rising to form an incredibly potent destructive force. This power immediately locked onto Lord God Karl, who was enveloped by a black aura not far away.

"It's hard to imagine how terrifying these two guys' combat abilities are," Karl thought. "Their energies have merged into one, making it impossible for me to lock onto my attack target in such a short time. Such power is truly horrifying."

Karl instinctively felt uneasy. He knew very well that against an enemy of this magnitude, he couldn't guarantee a lethal counterattack. However, he found the consequences of continuing to fight so unrestrainedly in his own territory even more unimaginable.

"Dark Abyss!"

Lord God Karl finally responded with power. The black aura behind him, seemingly guided by his unique spiritual energy, began to rapidly transform, producing one incredibly complex and strange inscription after another.

As these countless inscriptions combined, they coalesced into a complete totem that enveloped all the ancient mythical beasts, causing their bloodlines to undergo a frantic mutation.

This scene was something even Xu Yang hadn't anticipated. "It seems the cultivation system on this continent is becoming increasingly incomprehensible," he mused. "To easily alter the morphological structure of other life forms with just one's will—such elemental attributes never existed on the continent before. This is truly becoming more and more unreliable."

Little did he know, the core problem arising from the emergence of such elements was that life would descend into absolute inequality. This meant that the entire continent's civilization would steadily decline over time until its system of laws completely collapsed. The world would then crumble again amidst chaos and endless war, ultimately returning to the genesis of all civilization.

Xu Yang made this judgment. In his assessment, if his own power did not intervene to curb and correct this, the world's ultimate fate would still be destruction and rebirth. This implied that hundreds of thousands of years of civilization would eventually revert to its starting point.

"I will not allow power wielders like you to continue bringing chaos to the continent's civilization," Xu Yang declared. "You are Karl, aren't you? Show me your strongest power. I will utterly eradicate you within a single round."

Xu Yang radiated a divine majesty, and the terrifying power of his cultivation technique instantly condensed entirely onto his sword's gleam.

"Oh my god, the Eternal Sword Dao is indeed different!" Ling Yao exclaimed. "Its power is countless times stronger than Big Boss's previous Limitless Sword Dao. It's truly despair-inducing."

Ling Yao gazed enviously at Xu Yang's magnificent posture in the void, where he commanded the world and swept away all obstacles. Her eyes sparkled with admiration and worship.

At that moment, Xu Yang's sword strike finally descended. The terrifying sword qi powerfully struck the opponent's head. Karl had prided himself on mastering dark attribute power to its peak.

However, facing Xu Yang's terrifying sword, he finally realized how insignificant his own power was. The two were not on the same level, yet they had been fighting intensely for so long.

The complete dark totem he had just woven with dark power was utterly shattered by Xu Yang's single sword strike. The ancient mythical beasts that had been undergoing frenzied bloodline mutations hadn't even had a chance to attack Xu Yang and the dragon beneath him.

One by one, they were forced to halt their evolution due to the uncontrolled power and order during the bloodline mutation process, turning into peculiar monsters that were neither beast nor human.

A very small number of beast tribes even lost their ability to resist due to the backlash from the failed bloodline transformation, ultimately exploding and dying.

Karl gritted his teeth, finally realizing the severity of the situation. Faced with the terrifying and almost irresistible power of Xu Yang's Eternal Sword Dao, Karl unhesitatingly chose to abandon the ancient evil beasts behind him, which he could have controlled. He clearly used these cultivated beast tribes as scapegoats.

He himself disappeared back into the depths of the dark jungle. Xu Yang's sword qi transformed into hundreds of subsidiary sword gleams, beginning a wave of harvesting in the void.

Hundreds of mutated beast individuals, whose transformations had failed, were completely torn apart by the Eternal Sword Gleam, turning into mottled specks of dark elemental light scattered across the void. Once these light specks completely vanished, Lord God Karl finally began a new round of resistance.

"Heh, you ignorant fools," Karl scoffed. "Do you truly believe that a Lord God like me can only maintain my combat power by relying on these nurtured evil beasts? It's laughable. Let me show you my true power."

Deep in the valley, Karl murmured to himself, a mysterious, confident smile once again gracing his face. However, he soon began to demonstrate his unique value and influence as a Lord God through his actions.

One by one, extremely special black soul inscriptions began to arrange themselves orderly within his spiritual world. These sequences then encircled Karl's body, transforming into successive black halos that merged into a highly layered form in a very short time.

Simultaneously, as these laws superimposed, the black light they emitted underwent a qualitative change. It turned out Karl was subtly altering the surrounding spatial environment through this method.

This allowed his most proficient dark attribute power to reach its highest concentration in a very short time, granting Karl a true main battlefield. The entire valley was completely shrouded in this terrifying blackness in a matter of moments.
