Chapter 1541: The Strength of the Xuanyuan Clan

"Seeing the strength you've achieved, I no longer wish to call you an ant. Theoretically, since I'm now at the same combat power level, you should be a decent opponent.

However, a demon beast is still a demon beast. Moreover, you are an eternal sinner, a human-soul demon beast who has been punished and sanctioned. Therefore, in terms of the noble hierarchy of life, you can never compare to me.

I am currently among the first-tier figures within the Human Spirit Six Meridian lineage. Thus, no matter how powerful you are in combat or from a life perspective, I will always be superior to you."

After Elder Xuanyuan uttered these words, the demon beasts under Xu Yang's command were thoroughly enraged. This so-called "nobility of life" was undoubtedly the elder's last shred of human pride, but in Xu Yang's eyes, it was nothing more than a joke.

"You are not yet qualified to speak like this. Perhaps only by personally defeating Little Gray will you earn the right to utter such words."

Although Xu Yang did not directly intervene, his mere presence was a huge deterrent to every corner of the battlefield. When his concentrated spiritual power entered Elder Xuanyuan's mind, the arrogant chief elder of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan merely responded with a cold sneer.

"Before you decide to act personally, it's best to be fully mentally prepared, because I can't guarantee that I won't suddenly unleash a method of punishment at any moment. I want you to see with your own eyes how pathetic and vulnerable these demon beasts you wish to save truly are."

Elder Xuanyuan concluded his conversation with Xu Yang and then fully committed himself to the high-intensity ultimate battle. His physical body slowly levitated in the void, and distinct, multi-colored halos began to coalesce around him.

These different colored halos each represented a distinct elemental power that he could control.

Driven by the powerful techniques of the Xuanyuan Clan, each of these powers could unleash devastating might. This was precisely why the Xuanyuan Clan had subtly risen to the top position among the Human Spirit Six Meridians.

This lineage could control various natural elements, employing powerful techniques with diverse and mutually reinforcing or counteracting elemental attributes.

This granted the cultivators of this lineage unparalleled extraordinary combat power, and thus their influence was growing steadily. With a casual sweep of his palm, an incredibly brilliant earth-elemental force suddenly materialized into a towering wall, engulfing Little Gray's position.

Although Little Gray had now grown to the Quasi-Emperor level, his practical combat experience was far from as rich as that of other top-tier demon beasts of the same rank.

After all, his growth was quite unique. Despite possessing the most precious Imperial bloodline among beast races, his strength during his transformation phase was too weak during his early growth period.

Consequently, whenever this little fellow encountered a strong opponent before, his first reaction was often to flee rather than engage in a direct, head-on confrontation. Now, with Xu Yang's help, he had completed an unprecedented, epic transformation, reaching nearly the pinnacle among demon beasts.

However, if he were to directly clash with the chief elder of the Xuanyuan lineage, he would be at a significant disadvantage in terms of combat experience. In such a situation, Xu Yang's role would be infinitely amplified.

"Little one, don't worry. With me, your master, you will absolutely not suffer any disadvantage in actual combat. As long as you strictly follow my instructions, unleash your power promptly, make the most correct choices, and heed my guidance, you will surely be able to defeat this arrogant fellow."

Xu Yang's soul transmission echoed in Little Gray's mind, providing immense encouragement. He, of course, knew the formidable combat power and practical experience his master, Xu Yang, possessed. With this most powerful strategist advising him within his mind, he no longer needed to feel any fear in this battle.

As expected, Little Gray suddenly let out a sharp roar. In an instant, his body rapidly underwent a morphological change, transforming from his original form into a gigantic, grayish-white cat.

This cat was far from the fluffy, pet-like appearance he had before; giant grayish-white tails, nine in total, quickly unfurled from behind his body.

Simultaneously, six ears sprouted from the top of its head, and a fleeting crimson glint emanated from its dark blue pupils. All these changes accentuated its noble and powerful presence, making it resemble a supreme demon beast emperor. The terrifying fluctuations of demon beast vitality radiating from its body utterly astonished Xiao Xiang and Jiu'er, who were nearby.

"My heavens, is this the power of a Quasi-Emperor level demon beast? It's terrifying! Just its aura alone is enough to crush cultivators of our level."

Xiao Xiang murmured to herself. Not only was she shocked, but the cool-headed girl Jiu'er beside her was also astonished by the fluffy little creature's sudden transformation into such a terrifying, emperor-like form. At the same time, she couldn't help but marvel at the endless mysteries of life. Who could have imagined that the usually docile and mischievous little fellow could assume such a domineering posture in an instant?

As Little Gray's complete Quasi-Emperor physical form appeared, the lofty Chief Elder Xuanyuan couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows.

"I knew this was your true form. Very well, you are now qualified to be my opponent. Now, let me show you true power."

The earth-elemental halo that had just formed in his palm was violently crushed by him. In an instant, the ground beneath Little Gray's position fractured into an infinite network of terrifying fissures. As these cracks rapidly extended outwards, Little Gray's original spot was instantaneously pulverised into dust and completely obliterated by the elder's terrifying earth-elemental technique.

It's important to note that within this virtual battlefield space, the massive rock where Little Gray stood held a significant spatial advantage, yet it was completely shattered by a single technique from Elder Xuanyuan in an instant.

Despite this advantageous position, Little Gray's large tail feathers miraculously provided auxiliary flight in the void, preventing him from immediately losing his physical balance.

As for the two girls, Jiu'er and Xiao Xiang, Xu Yang helped them quickly manifest two translucent wings, which appeared on their backs, enabling them to ascend into the air.

Elder Xuanyuan and the chief elder of the Misty Rain lineage both achieved temporary flight through their respective methods. Meanwhile, the entire vast localized battlefield space transformed into an endless ocean.
