Chapter 1497: Qi Tian Demon Saint

"The situation is critical right now. We urgently request your assistance, along with Daoist Friend Xiao Xiang and others from the Yan Yu Imperial Family. Otherwise, with such a large number of fierce beasts gathered, I fear our people will be completely wiped out."

Xu Yang remained unmoved, his hands clasped behind his back as he gazed into the distance. The cold, aloof young woman, desperate, began to kneel before Xu Yang, but he subtly waved his hand, stopping her action.

"Helping you isn't out of the question; after all, this was already part of our plan. However, you must agree to one condition: from now until the end of this conspiracy, all descendants of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family saved by us must not oppose us, and you must strictly follow any subsequent action deployments. With the young women of the Yan Yu Imperial Family as witnesses, I trust you won't violate this oath. Of course, you can refuse my request, in which case I will immediately lead everyone away from this place."

Xu Yang was undoubtedly the one firmly in control of the battle's rhythm. The cold, aloof young woman was at a dead end; aside from relying on Xu Yang, she had no other support. She naturally agreed to his request without hesitation.

"Your Excellency is highly esteemed, with power reaching the heavens. If you are willing to help us resolve this crisis, all young disciples of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family will be at your complete disposal."

Hearing this, Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction.

"Very well. Your only task now is to gather the surviving Xuanyuan family casualties and prevent them from further contact with those fierce beasts. As for these rampaging creatures, leave them to me."

As Xu Yang's voice faded, he stepped into the air, ascending alone to the highest point in the void, overlooking the vast, dark army of fierce beasts from a god-like perspective.

"Holy smokes! Is this guy planning to single-handedly fend off such a massive horde of fierce beasts?"

The Senior Disciple beside him couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, while Long Kun and Ling Yao, who were also nearby, merely sneered.

"Don't underestimate our boss's strength. Forget these fierce beasts; if he truly wished, no one in the entire Kunlun Abyss could stop him."

Xiao Hua and the others naturally knew Xu Yang's power was far beyond what was apparent. However, there was no need to reveal his true strength and identity to these younger cultivators; it was enough that he could handle the current crisis.

Not long after, the vast, dark army of fierce beasts at the edge of the horizon surged into the world. Most of these reinforcing beasts were Level 6 fierce beasts with flight capabilities. However, a small leading group, consisting of over a dozen beasts, had all reached the level of Level 8 Demon Kings. Yet, upon closer inspection, Xu Yang noted that they were still pure beast-kin, devoid of any human soul attributes.

"By the command of the Qitian Demon Saint, we are here to slaughter all of you imperial disciples who have come to suppress the Millennium Calamity! Not a single one shall be spared!"

These Demon King level experts were straightforward, revealing their true intentions immediately upon appearance. The reason was simple: from their perspective, this massive deployment would undoubtedly eradicate all six-clan disciples within the plains.

Unfortunately, Xu Yang stood before them, and an invisible pressure radiated outwards, bringing immense dread upon the terrifying demon beast army.

"Who are you? Are you a newly emerged elder of the Six Clans? I've never felt such a powerful aura!"

Xu Yang calmly scrutinized the ant-like fierce beasts. "Answer one question before we begin the battle: What is the identity of this 'Qitian Demon Saint' you speak of? And where is he now?"

The leading Level 8 Demon King, a fire-breathing avian beast, sneered. "With your status, how could you be qualified to inquire about our Demon Saint leader's whereabouts? Just surrender and die."

After saying this, the grotesque bird suddenly opened its gaping maw, unleashing terrifying flames that erupted outwards, transforming into fiery dragons that coiled around Xu Yang's body.

Xu Yang merely scoffed, and with a light wave of his hand, he annihilated all the fire-attributed power before him. This sight was utterly incomprehensible to the proud young cultivators behind him.

"My god, how did he do that? Fire-attributed power of that intensity shouldn't be so easily dispelled. Does he possess a mastery of void laws? Theoretically, that's impossible!"

Little did they know, this was merely the beginning. Xu Yang's true power had just manifested. Behind him, massive surges of Eternal Sword Qi transformed into hundreds of illusory sword shadows. Under the focus of Xu Yang's spiritual energy, each of these previously ethereal sword shadows rapidly solidified, then hurtled down with immense force into the dense group of fierce beasts ahead.

The moment the terrifying wave of sword energy swept over them, the entire battlefield was instantly engulfed by endless sword-fire. Countless fierce beasts were annihilated in vast swathes by Xu Yang's single attack.

While large-scale destructive techniques were not uncommon among these younger generation cultivators, they had never witnessed a technique with such immense power before.

"Such terrifying might! I only witnessed it once, during my grandfather's peak, but even then, compared to this attack, my grandfather couldn't possibly match this mysterious individual. Who exactly is this person?"

The cold, aloof young woman repeatedly asked herself this question. The "grandfather at his peak" she referred to was the previous master of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, a renowned top genius throughout the history of Kunlun Divine Dao cultivation.

Of course, no matter how powerful he was, he seemed insignificant compared to Xu Yang.

"Boy, do you truly intend to face all of us demon beasts by yourself? Very well, we'll humor you and let you witness the power of Demon Kings in the Kunlun Abyss."

As the fire-breathing Demon King in the center finished speaking, over a dozen other Demon King level experts beside him simultaneously erupted with world-destroying aura. It was important to remember that even a single Demon King was a rare presence on the battlefields of the Kunlun Abyss.

If not for Xu Yang, even if all the young masters sent by the six great imperial families this time had banded together, it would have been exceedingly difficult to deal with a dozen Demon Kings.

Yet, Xu Yang alone managed to hold back such a formidable lineup, proving the immense shock and awe he instilled in the young people behind him.

"I must say, you little fire-breathing bug are somewhat interesting. I'll give you a chance now. If you choose to submit to me, I can let all dozen or so Demon Kings, including yourself, leave alive. In exchange, you must tell me everything about the Qitian Demon Saint. If you refuse, I can still extract the answers I want from your mind. Of course, if I have to extract the answers myself, then none of you dozen Level 8 Demon Kings will have a chance to survive."
