Chapter 1593: A Person's Pressure

You only need to make one choice to decide your respective fates. Either retreat immediately, returning from where you came, or die under the hooves of my hundreds of thousands of demon beast army.

At this moment, Xu Yang stood proudly in the void, resembling a demonic god dominating heaven and earth. A chilling aura made him appear like an unparalleled military commander leading a million-strong army. In his eyes, absolute power was the sharp blade to rule the world! On this battlefield, there was no room for mercy; anyone who dared to oppose the demon beast forces he led would simply meet their demise.

"Hahaha, as the strongest empire in the entire Second Temple World, our Black Armored Empire has only ever bullied others over the years! I never expected an external invading force to dare act so presumptuously in front of us!"

The general of the Black Armored Empire was truly a bit underhanded. Even while facing Xu Yang's invading army, he didn't forget to subtly mock the Splendid Empire and the Barbarian Empire. His words were somewhat grating to the ears of the soldiers from the other two empires standing nearby. However, they had nothing to say, as the Black Armored Empire currently possessed the greatest overall power and the largest territory, making it the premier empire! It commanded countless top-tier cultivators. The imperial general in the black battle robe, standing before them, was one of its finest.

Xu Yang had no intention of wasting more words on him. He simply nodded slightly, a cold curve appearing at the corner of his lips. "Very well, since you possess such confidence, then today I shall open your eyes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yang gently waved his hand, and countless brilliant sword glows from the Eternal Sword Dao swiftly converged behind him. Hundreds of thousands of enormous sword lights silently formed behind Xu Yang, naturally bringing an extremely powerful sense of deterrence to the soldiers of the three empires below.

At the same time, Xu Yang instinctively released his killing aura. His blood-red gaze made him appear like a demon god of the night, with a surging, unstoppable killing intent. The killing aura itself had an extremely potent influence on their souls, making them fear Xu Yang's presence from the depths of their beings. Moreover, once the killing aura condensed into its exclusive domain space, this powerful negative deterrent effect would manifest as a quantifiable system, directly impacting these soldiers. It would instantly weaken their strength by approximately thirty percent!

Whirlpools of bloody aura, accompanied by an increasing number of sword glows, continuously materialized in the void above. Without a doubt, this moment was Xu Yang's solo stage. The hundreds of thousands of demon beast troops behind him, along with the core powerful individuals personally led by Xu Yang, all raised their hands to gaze at the void, witnessing the true charisma of their leader, Xu Yang, who was leading them to conquer the world!

"I'll give you one last chance: either crawl back into your dog holes, or perish on this battlefield."

As Xu Yang's words left his mouth again, the black-armored general snorted coldly, gritting his teeth firmly as he summoned the long spear, radiating black light, from his hand and forcefully plunged it into the ground. In an instant, a massive black light formation suddenly appeared beneath his feet, its power enveloping all fifty thousand Black Armored Empire soldiers he led. The formation, enveloped in black light, clearly provided a layer of protection to the empire's elite soldiers, allowing them to resist the killing aura.

Regrettably, this single enhancement was far from enough to alter the fate of these soldiers. How could a mere formation possibly nullify Xu Yang's power?

"Heh heh, a bunch of overestimating ants, prepare to die!"

Xu Yang had run out of patience; he had given these individuals more than one chance. However, facing absolute power, these soldiers, due to their limited perspective, ultimately made the wrong choice. They simply couldn't conceive that the Second Temple World would be so vulnerable when confronted by a powerful external invader. Not a single extra moment was wasted.

With a gentle wave of Xu Yang's palm, thousands upon thousands of materialized sword glows from the Eternal Sword Dao descended from the sky, like a sky-darkening barrage of meteors. The terrifying destructive power unleashed by each sword glow was comparable to the might generated by these military formation soldiers using powerful cultivation techniques! As the sword glows struck the military formations, horrifying waves of sword energy would erupt and dissipate, their essence instantly tearing these powerful formation soldiers into nothingness.

Undoubtedly, the most arrogant Black Armored Empire's fifty thousand strong formation bore the brunt of Xu Yang's wave of sword energy. In just one encounter, over twenty thousand of their soldiers were slain, instantly losing half of their combat effectiveness.

The black-armored general, who stood at the very front, was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that Xu Yang, the leader of this invading force, could be so immensely powerful. With just a flick of his finger, tens of thousands of opponents had been reduced to nothing.

"General! This person is far too powerful; the strength of these foreign invaders greatly exceeds our imagination. What should we do now?"

The black-armored general sneered, "If we choose to flee now, the honor and dignity of our Black Armored Empire will cease to exist. Don't forget, there are two other imperial armies waiting beside us! Even if our entire army perishes here, we absolutely cannot retreat a single step! Send my orders: the Black Hawk Scout Legion is to immediately detach from the formation and report the battlefield situation back to the Empire. Regardless, this fellow's demon beast army will undoubtedly pose a massive threat to our empire, so the imperial high command must be informed immediately to prepare all defenses! As for the remaining soldiers, disperse immediately on the spot. Do not give this fellow an opportunity to use large-scale destructive techniques."

"Understood!"

It was worth noting that the black-armored general indeed possessed a unique talent for battlefield command. After he issued his orders, the tide of his army's mass destruction was effectively curbed.

Xu Yang, too, halted his large-scale attack, allowing the countless sword glows behind him to temporarily recede into the void. "Are the Splendid Empire and the Barbarian Empire truly planning to stand by and watch us fight? Don't forget what that billowing black smoke behind them signifies. These people are all foreign invaders attacking our Second Temple World! With an external enemy upon us, if our three empires do not unite, then the fate of these twenty thousand lives behind me will be a reflection of your own future!" The black-armored general was incredibly experienced in combat. At such a critical juncture, he would never allow his remaining twenty thousand-plus soldiers to continue dying senselessly.
