This allowed him to constantly maneuver, searching for weaknesses in his opponent's combat style. As expected, it wasn't long before this new combat strategy yielded significant results. The strongest expert of the Netherworld lineage before him simply had no idea how to counter such an endless barrage of close-quarters attacks.
Meanwhile, Qianmo was like a black afterimage, constantly shifting her position in the void, continuously changing and updating her attack methods and targets. More and more elemental forces regenerated in various corners of the void. An endless torrent of elemental power crashed down from seemingly nowhere, creating a very clear suppressive effect on the Chief Elder.
"Damn it, why aren't you sticking to your previous combat style and instead resorting to close-quarters attacks? You're a truly troublesome opponent."
The Chief Elder of the Netherworld clan knew all too well that this fighting style would force him into an endless defensive state, as it allowed the Earth element, with its excellent offensive and defensive combat effects, to be fully unleashed. Meanwhile, his specialty, necromantic power, and all his powerful techniques required longer casting times. Faced with such an overwhelming and fierce assault from his opponent, he simply didn't have enough time to prepare his techniques.
"Boy, how do you feel now? I'm confident I can finish you off with a single strike. Prepare for the final round."
In reality, this was merely Qianmo bluffing; she didn't possess the full capability to instantly kill her opponent, a formidable Chief Elder from one of the six Human Spirit lineages, with a single blow. But undoubtedly, her intimidation had an irresistible effect on her opponent, placing immense psychological pressure on the Netherworld Chief Elder.
The opponent gritted his teeth and unexpectedly unleashed his strongest ultimate technique prematurely. Boundless necromantic power began to burn, forming a sky-obscuring curtain of necromantic energy that completely isolated all surrounding auras.
"Necromantic power is eternal! For even after death, we achieve another form of rebirth. If you and I perish together here, you will embrace eternal death, while I will welcome my next new life. You didn't expect this, did you? This do-or-die strategy is the most terrifying aspect of our Undead race. At worst, we'll both perish. As for me, life has long been close to eternity."
The boundless dark curtain of necromantic energy shrouded the entire world, once again plunging Qianmo into darkness. In that critical moment, within her mind, she recalled the scene of Xu Yang using the Law of Light earlier, and a smile once again touched her lips.
"Hahaha, Boss, I knew with you here, I would never fail!"
As soon as she spoke, Qianmo daringly began to imitate Xu Yang's Law of Light from memory, an action that was truly astonishing. She couldn't possibly refine a complete Law of Light purely from memory, but she did release incredibly brilliant golden light around her body. At this moment, even Xu Yang's ethereal form couldn't help but smile.
"This girl truly thrives after breaking through, possessing the potential to create miracles."
With no other option, Xu Yang decisively changed his mind: he would impart the complete Law of Light to Qianmo as a reward for her ingenious move.
"You are an excellent believer in transmitting light. I hope that after mastering the Law of Light, you will discover the true path of cultivation you wish to follow in the future."
This was the last message Xu Yang's ethereal form left in Qianmo's mind, followed by the complete and incredibly brilliant runes of the Law of Light, imprinted into her soul world. Then, the resplendent light of the complete Law of Light burst forth from Qianmo's very being.
The boundless necromantic power surrounding them was finally completely dispelled in the face of perfect light, dissolving into true nothingness. That decaying necromantic power was also the decaying life essence of the Chief Elder before them.
He eventually regained his aged appearance and lay weakly within this localized battlefield, completely losing his combat ability.
"I never imagined the Law of Light, lost to the great world civilization, would reappear in you. This was originally the inheritance of the Angel lineage. Why do you possess such an ability?"
Qianmo scoffed, "That Xu Yang, whom you speak of as possessing great fortune, is the inheritor of the Angel lineage's power. It's not too late to tell you this secret now."
"So that's how it is, hehehe. Since I've lost to fate, while I can't accept this outcome, I also lack the power to change it. So be it."
As soon as the Netherworld Chief Elder finished speaking, he immediately employed a highly specialized technique, making all his aura completely vanish from the localized battlefield. He didn't die completely, a mutual understanding reached between Xu Yang and him. However, the representative of the Netherworld lineage, a Chief Elder of the Six Human Spirit Lineages, had at this moment completely withdrawn from this battle's faction. Although they couldn't recruit him as a teammate, having him completely withdraw from this stage of confrontation was still a good outcome.
With his departure, the Human Spirit Jade Emperor Grand Formation, whose originally complete six-sided totem now lost one lineage, and the Netherworld clan's power runes, originally bound to necromantic energy, rapidly disintegrated. Qianmo was also freed from this localized battlefield. In the blink of an eye, three of the six Human Spirit Chief Elders had already declared defeat. Such a one-sided disparity was something these Chief Elders wouldn't have dared to imagine even in their wildest dreams.
They were originally high and mighty, completely viewing the demon race from Xu Yang's faction as mere ants. Yet, they never dreamed that with a human leader like Xu Yang, the overall strength of the demon race would achieve a qualitative leap, making them no longer the ants they could arbitrarily judge. The demon race had long grown into a major power capable of rivaling the entire Kunlun Divine Path's Six Human Spirit Lineages. Not only these humans of the Six Royal Lineages, but even the Chief Elders hadn't expected that even the lofty Will of the Supreme God and those living fossils hiding behind the scenes probably couldn't fathom the situation the Kunlun lineage now faced.
Judging from the results achieved by both sides in this battle, if Xu Yang truly decided to lead the entire demon race against the Six Human Lineages, with the amplification effect of the Blood Moon's arrival, the demon army might indeed pose a threat to overturn the heritage of the Kunlun Divine Path.
"Indeed, we were negligent. The demon race now possesses enough strength to fight for its rightful voice, and is no longer the disorganized rabble that could be easily suppressed in previous years. I truly hope that the clan leaders and those living fossils, our ancestors, behind us can see the truth of the situation and stop being frogs in a well, deceiving themselves."
The Chief Elder of the Pupils' Origin lineage, now transformed into a young woman, sighed softly, speaking her true thoughts. The Chief Elder of the Morning Light lineage, standing not far from her, also nodded in agreement. As awakened Chief Elders of the Human Race, both of them had come to understand this issue clearly. Unfortunately, the authority of the Six Human Spirit Royal Lineages was not currently in their hands; otherwise, things would be much easier to handle. The true power-holders, who remained stubborn and unyielding, were the biggest obstacle Xu Yang and the demon faction needed to overcome this time.
