Chapter 1558: Complete Human-Spirit Six Paths Formation

"With such narrow-mindedness and temperament, how can you even have the audacity to be the patriarch of the Tong Yuan lineage? I truly feel sorry for the young prodigies of your Human Spirit Six Royal Clans. With you old-timers clinging to your positions without doing anything productive, you're ruining the future of your descendants."

Xu Yang continued to mock these old men. As expected, the six clan leaders, all highly respected figures who valued their reputations, found it unbearable to be so casually humiliated by Xu Yang in public. Few could tolerate such an affront.

"Alright, let's stop deliberating," the patriarch of the Chen Guang lineage proposed. "I suggest all six of us combine our efforts to unleash our most powerful profound techniques. Let's decide the victor in a single strike, settling it all in this one round. If we attack one by one, we won't be able to unleash our full strength, and we'll simply waste more time."

Seeing that the others were also eager for action, the Chen Guang lineage patriarch went ahead and made this proposal. Ultimately, everyone's gaze fell upon Xuan Yuanhao.

After all, Xuan Yuanhao was currently the de facto leader among the six clan patriarchs. He was also the wielder of the Two-Forms Kunlun Cauldron, and only with his permission could its power be fully unleashed and simultaneously channel the combined strength of all six patriarchs.

After a moment of contemplation, Xuan Yuanhao looked deeply at Xu Yang below, then finally nodded with a solemn expression.

"Very well then," he began. "Since this human youth has repeatedly offended the dignity of our Human Spirit Six Royal Clan, we have no choice but to enact disciplinary measures against him.

Originally, I had no intention of completely eliminating him in this round. However, since he remains so obstinate, and we are also bound by our mission, there is no room for further possibilities."

Xuan Yuanhao's declaration was tantamount to a premature sentencing of Xu Yang by the Human Spirit Six Clans. Yet, this very act caused Xu Yang to become excited.

Because if these six old men attacked together, it meant Xu Yang would finally have an opportunity to display his true power before the demon beasts. Indeed, continuing to play along with these old men held little meaning for Xu Yang.

Now, with these six individuals attacking in unison — six patriarchs at the peak of the Kunlun Mirror realm, their master-level strength merging, further amplified by the Two-Forms Kunlun Cauldron's extreme enhancement — their combined power would at least elevate them to the realm of a Grand Elder. Only a confrontation of this magnitude could provide Xu Yang with a certain degree of enjoyment, like a challenging game.

"Excellent," Xu Yang said. "I think your decision is very wise; otherwise, we'd both just be pointlessly wasting time. However, since the six of you will be amplified by the Two-Forms Kunlun Cauldron, I too shall unleash my own artifact."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he gently waved his palm, and his Jade Bone Divine Sword materialized once more. A brilliant sword light slowly rotated behind him. Each time the sword's momentum gathered, it exerted a certain degree of deterrence on the surrounding void, exuding a terrifying sword aura that even made the demon beasts below whimper and lie prostrate on the ground.

One must understand that this terrifying sword aura, once fully unleashed, would have a world-shattering effect on any spatial battlefield.

"Creatures of the demon race, heed my command!" Xu Yang's voice resonated. "Return immediately to the battlefield below. Use your respective powers to guard the area beneath you and protect your young demon descendants. The impending clash of our powers will inevitably cause widespread destructive effects on the surroundings.

You must exert your utmost power to protect these young ones. Otherwise, merely the residual force released by the collision of our two powers would be enough to utterly annihilate them, and in that scenario, the Blood Moon would likely descend prematurely."

Xu Yang's mental energy immediately spread into the minds of each of the four Demon Sages, including the chief elders who had already joined his faction, all of whom participated in the effort to protect the demon beasts below.

Not long after, Long Kun, Xiaohua, and the others also rushed back from various directions, all receiving the command guided by Xu Yang's mental energy.

"Hahahaha," Long Kun exclaimed, "is boss finally getting serious? This is getting interesting! Him fighting the leaders of the Human Spirit Six Royal Clans alone — now this is a battle worth watching."

Long Kun appeared particularly excited, watching the void above with his arms crossed. Little did he know, he too secretly wished to take Xu Yang's place and single-handedly face those six arrogant old men.

However, Long Kun possessed self-awareness. Within the Kunlun Divine Path, where the opposing side held all the advantages—favorable timing, terrain, the unity of the six lineages, and the power amplification from their special artifact—it was absolutely impossible for Long Kun alone to achieve victory.

After all, there was still a fundamental difference in raw strength between him and Xu Yang. Next, the six old men once again lined up, with Xuan Yuanhao standing in the very center, evidently pushing the aura of the Two-Forms Kunlun Cauldron in his hand to its peak.

In an instant, countless brilliant golden lights surged and swirled around Xuan Yuanhao, converging to form a complete humanoid totem outline around his body.

Little did they know that Xuan Yuanhao had concentrated a massive amount of his mental energy, sending it directly into the Two-Forms Kunlun Cauldron's artifact core. This instantly expanded the golden reinforcing light curtain, which was originally dozens of zhang wide, by tenfold, effectively elevating the Kunlun Cauldron's current strongest amplification to its absolute maximum.

After all, the extent of the Two-Forms Kunlun Cauldron's amplification effect depended on the inherent strength of its wielder. Xuan Yuanhao was currently at the Kunlun peak, a half-step into the Boundless realm, subtly stronger than the other five old men.

However, given his current state and the artifact's capabilities, the light curtain before them represented the utmost enhancement he could drive it to. If Grand Elders or the "living fossils" of the Boundless realm were to control the Two-Forms Kunlun Cauldron, its amplification effect would likely increase even further.

A massive hundred-zhang light barrier illuminated the sky. Behind it, the six master-level sect leaders launched their combined attack simultaneously. Behind each of them, an incredibly brilliant, exclusive totem of the Human Spirit Sacred Law materialized, similar to the formation patterns of the Human Spirit Six Lineages Grand Formation, with each representing their respective lineage and its inherited system.

These totems were also their greatest source of pride and the foundation of their power, allowing them to look down upon all others. Each totem continuously strengthened as time passed.

This was the spectacle of the six individuals accumulating their power for their final attack. Once the master-level power of all six patriarchs was fully charged, each totem manifested a vivid, unique vital energy form. Like divine artifacts hidden within the totems of the Six Lineages Human Spirit power, they were enveloped in an exalted, god-like radiance, slowly ascending into the void.

The combined power of the Human Spirit Six Lineages totems converged, as if six ancient deities had been resurrected. Six god-like silhouettes intertwined, radiating intersecting beams of light that burned a complete hexagram shape at the far end of the void.

"Damn it," someone exclaimed. "This must be the Human Spirit Jade Emperor Grand Formation pushed to its absolute limit! These six old men have integrated the inherited powers of their respective Human Spirit Sacred Laws to form a complete Human Spirit Six Paths Formation. Just the power emanating from these totems is terrifying. Boss, you must hold on this time; whatever you do, don't fail us!"
