Chapter 1675: Human and Sword as One

The supreme deity hasn't given us any other orders. Let them be. After all, it's not something our power can resist, and there's no need for us to seek out that terrifying human fiend and fight him to the death."

Seeing his beloved white dragon utter such words, the black dragon felt the last bit of pressure vanish from his heart.

As Xu Yang and his formidable beast army gradually departed, the two dragons returned to their usual peaceful rhythm of life. Although they no longer had the protection of their exclusive natural law, this exchange secured a relatively peaceful future for them, making it a worthwhile deal. Had they truly opposed Xu Yang, they would likely have been annihilated by now.

The birth of Long Yuan, the seventh exclusive sword spirit, filled Xu Yang with confidence. He knew clearly that even if he never encountered such pure natural law again to devour, these seven exclusive sword spirits alone were enough to elevate the power of his Eternal Sword Dao to a new level.

However, despite this, deep down, Xu Yang genuinely yearned for more natural laws to help him further refine his sword spirit system.

According to Xu Yang's expectations, it would be ideal to possess eighteen complete divine swords uniquely his own. He was still three sword spirits short of this goal.

In other words, before reaching the very peak of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, Xu Yang only needed to encounter three more natural laws to complete his grand task and fulfill his wish.

As he pondered, three days passed unnoticed. Xu Yang led his beast army into the Dragon Neck region of the vast Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, a place extremely close to the mountain range's summit.

The terrain itself was also an upward climb; the higher they went, the greater the danger. Yet, during this ascent, the beast army seemed to sense an indescribable aura of majesty.

This sense of majesty stemmed partly from the continually rising elevation and partly from the clear, high skies around them. This location was already nearly ten thousand meters above ground level.

The main body of the immense Kunlun Mountain range, the Peak of Kunlun, was already nearly ten thousand meters above the ground, but the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range stood even higher, towering above the Peak of Kunlun.

As the saying goes, "it's lonely at the top." For most of the beast warriors in the team, reaching such an altitude far exceeded the limits of their capabilities.

Especially in this continuously ascending uphill region, their marching speed slowed infinitely, and the invisible pressure in the air caused more and more warriors to feel suffocated.

"Boss, have you noticed? Although this uphill path seems to present no difficulty and there are no hidden cultivators around, the terrifying pressure concealed in the air doesn't seem as simple as we thought."

Xu Yang nodded slightly. "According to my judgment, it should be an exclusive law guarding this mountain region."

The terrifying pressure intensified as the army continued its ascent. As the climb grew more severe, Xu Yang finally realized that if this pressure continued to swell, more than half of his beast army warriors might be lost in this place.

"In that case, I will personally clear the path for you. Whatever form of power our opponents possess, I will make them pay a heavy price."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, his entire being transformed directly into an immensely vast eternal sword light.

His human body transforming into the outline of a sword, the transcendent state of 'Man and Sword as One' immediately astonished all the surrounding warriors.

"Oh my goodness, I can't believe our boss possessed such unfathomable ability. It's truly eye-opening!"

The Four Great Beasts exclaimed in admiration, unaware that Ling Yao, standing beside them, also spoke with an air of confidence.

"'Man and Sword as One' is merely the most basic manifestation of a realm for our boss. Not to mention him, even I can achieve 'Man and Sword as One' in my current state of sword mastery; there's nothing strange about it. If your strength advances further in the future, you will eventually reach this realm too."

Upon hearing Ling Yao's words, the Four Great Beast Sages thought she was boasting. But the moment Ling Yao transformed into a sword form right before their eyes, everyone fell completely silent.

Only then did they realize that not only was Boss Xu Yang exceptionally brilliant, but the few human prodigies he led were also incredibly powerful, each more formidable than the last. Even Ling Yao and Xiao Hua, though women, were undoubtedly ruthless figures capable of dominating an area without question.

At that moment, Xu Yang, like a colossal sword spirit, transformed into a dazzling sword light at the foot of the mountain, continuously soaring towards the summit. Along the way, he cleaved through the forces in the surrounding air. It might have seemed like a wild swing, but in reality, the sword aura Xu Yang released perfectly shattered all the surrounding pressure.

Finally, Xu Yang's true form landed steadily at the very top of the uphill path's peak. After he retransformed into his human shape, the conscious embodiment of the law, which had been emitting invisible pressure, slowly emerged and gazed into Xu Yang's clear eyes.

"Your cultivation is impressive, sir. To achieve 'Man and Sword as One' and embody eternity through such a profound martial art is something I have never witnessed before.

However, ever since my formation, I have guarded this region of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. The dragon's prestige has had the most profound effect on me, thus I inherently possess the instinct to suppress all life force auras between heaven and earth. No form of life can completely resist the majesty emanating from me.

Therefore, the aura of prestige I possess perfectly aligns with your Eternal Sword Dao. If you follow the same approach as you did with the previous mountain regions and forge me into an exclusive sword spirit, I believe I can serve you well and provide truly substantial assistance.

The aura of prestige within me can further enhance the intensity of your sword qi's pressure. However, I have one condition: if you agree to it, I am willing to unconditionally become your subordinate."

Xu Yang showed an amused expression. "Tell me first. Even if I can't agree to your request, at least I'll understand your true intentions. Perhaps we can find a mutually beneficial way to resolve this."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, the conscious embodiment of the law before him revealed an expression of satisfaction.

"My request is simple: when you reach the very peak of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, you must not cause even the slightest damage to the Dragon Head's position, which is the absolute summit of this mountain range."
