Chapter 1604: Faith's Divine Light

However, after several such encounters, the physical bodies they faced individually proved to have superior overall strength. A complex interplay of various elemental techniques and intertwined powers emerged, placing immense combat pressure on the two young women.

As expected, at one moment, the opponent suddenly unleashed a profound earth-attribute technique. A massive brownish-gray palm materialized above the clouds and crashed down towards Jiu'er's position.

The terrifying power fully erupted above Jiu'er, utterly tearing apart her protective aura and leaving her body exposed to the enemy's destructive assault. It seemed Jiu'er and her fellow warriors were about to be annihilated.

Suddenly, an illusory clone of Xu Yang appeared before Jiu'er.

"How dare you harm my people?"

Xu Yang's dominance was fully displayed. Although he had only sent a single illusory clone to Jiu'er's side, this clone unexpectedly transformed into an indestructible, sky-piercing greatsword. A colossal sword energy surged upwards, tearing apart the massive palm that overshadowed the sky. While shattering the enemy's technique, the sword also pierced through their physical body.

One of the Twelve Divine Envoys was instantly obliterated into nothingness. However, to Xu Yang's surprise, shortly after the opponent's physical body shattered, all its fragmented remains rapidly reassembled in the void.

After only a brief period of soul void, it returned to its peak combat state.

"Heh, heh, heh, this is interesting. It seems these Twelve Divine Envoys are all illusory forms evolved from pure foundational laws, far from being mere flesh-and-blood beings. No wonder their auras and the rhythms of their respective cultivation techniques are so similar.

They were originally twelve avatars born from the evolution of a single law. To truly destroy them, all twelve must be eliminated simultaneously as a unified entity.

Otherwise, this battle will simply go on endlessly."

With this realization, Xu Yang began to contemplate a strategy to finally eliminate the illusory avatars of the Twelve Divine Envoys.

Meanwhile, confrontations continued across the twelve separate battlefields. As time wore on, even the fearless Long Kun found himself severely tormented by the opponent's relentless, cyclical attrition tactics and their seemingly indestructible bodies that could never be completely destroyed.

His fighting spirit was no longer as high as it had been. After all, Long Kun rarely engaged in prolonged battles, and the endless dragging on only made his originally steadfast Dao heart increasingly restless.

"Damn it, boss, what's wrong with these guys? I'm losing my patience. We crush them into nothingness, and they still revive? What kind of unbelievable ability allows them to do that?"

Predictably, having seemingly noticed a noticeable decline in the combat effectiveness of the twelve top experts dispatched by Xu Yang, the leader of the Twelve Divine Envoys finally allowed a cold smile to grace their lips once more.

They immediately projected mental energy to the souls of the other eleven Divine Envoys. "Excellent," the leader's voice echoed, "Our opponents seem to be in decline. This is the perfect moment to utterly destroy them with a single strike.

Everyone, heed my command! Together, summon the Divine Light of Faith!"

As the leader finished speaking, the other eleven physical forms simultaneously converged around them, encircling the chief Divine Envoy.

From the eleven surrounding bodies, eleven dazzling beams of light erupted simultaneously and perfectly.

As the eleven brilliant divine lights converged upon the central figure, an unparalleled, colossal holy light surged skyward, almost piercing through the very pinnacle of the world.

The instant this light erupted from the deepest part of the clouds, the spatio-temporal laws around the void battlefield became highly agitated, immediately capturing Xu Yang's full attention.

"It appears their strongest power is about to descend. It is time for me to intervene personally."

At that very moment, Xu Yang not only showed no hesitation but also witnessed a sight that brought him satisfaction.

Although Long Kun and his companions were reluctant and wished to continue the fight, they never forgot the initial command Xu Yang had given them.

The moment they detected the enemy was about to unleash forbidden-level power, it was their cue to withdraw from the main battlefield's core. Twelve figures followed Long Kun, retreating from the main combat zone.

Concurrently, Xu Yang, acting alone, simultaneously manifested twelve illusory clones, each confronting one of the twelve Divine Envoys.

"From this moment on, I shall face all of you alone. I urge you to unleash your most formidable powers; do not disappoint me, or this entire game will hold no pleasure for me."

Xu Yang's voice, resonating like a deity's pronouncement, swept across the entire battlefield, unsettling the minds of millions of enemy warriors. Even the barbarian warriors supporting his own side, seeing Xu Yang in that god-like moment, instinctively knelt in fervent worship.

"Oh my heavens, this is the true god in our eyes—an entity capable of altering the destinies of all beings within the Barbarian Empire! Lord Xu Yang, you must secure the ultimate victory!"

Everyone prayed this silently in their hearts. Even Twin Blades, Old Third, and Queen Huoling Ji, who stood amidst the crowd beside them, gazed upon the god in their hearts with the utmost reverence.

At that moment, Xu Yang's twelve illusory clones simultaneously displayed unparalleled combat prowess. Yet, Xu Yang himself showed no hint of strain. On the contrary, the practical combat ability exhibited by each of his clones was surprisingly far greater than that of the original twelve individuals.

"It seems we have only one true opponent: the sole leader of these foreign invaders. Your strength is truly immense. To operate twelve minds simultaneously, yet still act so freely within such a spiritual realm, is utterly astonishing.

Unfortunately, this time you face the complete Law, collectively condensed by all twelve of us. Within the entire Second Divine Temple's illusory world, no one can resist this power except the sovereign who created us. Your mission is over. Prepare for your downfall."

It was clear that the leader of the Twelve Divine Envoys had absolute confidence in the power of this forbidden law. Their recent pronouncements were indeed not an exaggeration; a complete foundational law represents an absolute, sovereign-level manifestation of power within any illusory realm.

Unfortunately, their opponent this time was none other than Xu Yang, a figure so unique that finding another like him on the entire main continent would be nearly impossible—a person destined to forge his own unparalleled legacy.
