Chapter 1676: Nine-colored Radiance of the Red Glow

If you truly did that, it would destroy the overall spiritual essence of the entire Panlong Mountain Range and cause a fatal impact on the spiritual heritage of the entire Kunlun lineage. Even the consciousness of the Supreme God, after ruling the Kunlun divine path for hundreds of thousands of years, has never dared to covet the Panlong Mountain Range.

In fact, there was no need for this entity to explain; Xu Yang was already prepared for this. The formation of a true dragon vein requires a tremendous cost, and he had no intention of doing anything so wasteful. However, Xu Yang was indeed capable of using his own methods to uncover other hidden secrets within the Panlong Mountain Range.

“Rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, I promise I will never destroy the foundation of the Panlong Mountain Range, nor affect the true spiritual fortune of the entire Kunlun lineage’s heritage. As long as I, Xu Yang, am here, not even the will of the Supreme God can harm this dragon. In other words, I have absorbed the natural law that originally protected this Panlong Mountain Range, so it is only natural that I should fulfill the obligation that was originally yours: to protect this dragon vein.”

As expected, this law indeed kept its promise. After receiving Xu Yang's affirmative reply, it immediately dissolved without hesitation, and its complete lawful energy integrated into Xu Yang's body. Guided by Xu Yang's spiritual power, it smoothly bonded with the Emperor Cauldron's artifact spirit, becoming the eighth exclusive sword artifact spirit newly born within the Emperor Cauldron.

Soon, a perfect sword soul with an exceptionally majestic and profound blade condensed. The moment this eighth sword artifact spirit formed, an incredibly dominant pressure was released. It was as if this sword qi had existed between heaven and earth for hundreds of thousands of years. The majesty and profundity it possessed truly could not be wielded by ordinary people. Unless one was a true Sword King with great fortune and a heart as vast as the heavens, there was no way to perfectly control such a powerful sword artifact spirit.

Xu Yang was very satisfied with this result. Just as the law itself had previously stated, the pressure and aura it possessed offered the most perfect enhancement for any swordsman’s unique sword path. A truly powerful sword requires this grand spirit.

“It’s too perfect! This sword hasn’t fully materialized yet, but its sword qi already exists eternally between heaven and earth, integrating the attributes of all paths. I believe that once this sword is fully forged, it will bring unimaginable surprises to its master.”

Xu Yang also nodded in satisfaction, but he clearly understood that the greatest significance of a sword lies in its possessing an unyielding, supreme power. Although this eighth sword soul before him far surpassed the previous seven in terms of sword qi, its destructive power had not yet reached the level Xu Yang envisioned – the ability to destroy everything.

In other words, deep in Xu Yang’s heart, the sword soul he most desired to forge had not yet appeared. Although the preceding eight sword artifact spirits each had their own unique characteristics and merits, they still had not manifested the form Xu Yang most favored. If this series of sword souls were to form a complete set of divine sword artifacts, Xu Yang was still missing a crucial core.

“Let’s continue forward. I have a premonition that soon, the most powerful sword soul I envision—the ultimate sword capable of destroying all defenses in the world—will be right before me.”

The army continued to advance, and Xu Yang named his eighth sword soul Weiming.

Along the way, Xu Yang had more than once envisioned the appearance of the ninth sword soul in his mind. Nine has always been considered the ultimate number in heaven and earth, and according to the Emperor Cauldron’s artifact spirit, the ninth artifact spirit, which was about to take shape, would largely be influenced by the preceding eight sword artifact spirits that had already formed. In other words, forging the ninth artifact spirit would be the most difficult task, but if successful, its strength and power would far surpass the previous eight sword souls.

This would mean reaching the level of what Xu Yang called the "strongest sword soul." Driven by this desire, Xu Yang seemed impatient to capture the next natural law that would appear.

Unbeknownst to them, he had already led his army of hundreds of thousands of demon beasts to the Panlong Mountain Range. They stood at the very summit, where the enormous dragon's head of the Panlong Mountain Range lay beneath their feet.

Although from a distance this place truly resembled the head of a giant dragon raising its head towards the sky, the ground area at the top was relatively flat.

“Oh my heavens! Boss, we actually reached the very peak of the Panlong Mountain Range! It’s truly incredible! Standing here and gazing at the entire Kunlun Summit, we have such a vast view. I truly feel an indescribable sense of exhilaration right now.”

Long Kun’s words reminded most of the warriors around them. At this very moment, Xu Yang slowly began to speak.

“This place is the best location on the entire Kunlun Summit for condensing the essence of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy. The source of all dragon qi essence in the Panlong Mountain Range is on this peak, right where we stand. Cultivating here is absolutely something all cultivators in the world dream of. We will rest here for one day and one night. Everyone should remain in place, hold their breath, and enter a state of highly concentrated cultivation. This opportunity may only come once in your lifetime. Whether you can achieve breakthroughs at the soul level and in your cultivation foundation depends on how much you gain during this day and night.”

Following Xu Yang’s command, for the next day and night, all the warriors entered a state of highly concentrated cultivation.

Xu Yang’s elite battle group, composed of these top-tier experts, did not simply absorb the essence of heaven and earth’s vital energy. Instead, most of them were immersed in their inner worlds, comprehending the rhythm of the myriad heavenly laws that permeated this place.

Only Xu Yang did nothing. He stood alone and proudly in the void at the peak of the Panlong Mountain Range, watching the sun rise and set, and the clouds unfurl and furl.

Unconsciously, he had completely merged his body, mind, and soul into the very peak of the Panlong Mountain Range, the Summit of Kunlun. Finally, this seemingly peaceful scene was suddenly broken by a piercing long rainbow.

The moment that incredibly perfect and vast streak of light appeared in Xu Yang’s vision, his eyes immediately lit up.

The ninth and most powerful natural law, which he had relentlessly pursued and sought to capture, finally manifested perfectly at this moment.

“I knew it! How could the very summit of the Panlong Mountain Range, the true location of the dragon’s head, not be guarded by the most powerful natural law? This astounding long rainbow, stretching for thousands of miles, is the perfect answer I’ve been seeking!”

Xu Yang’s heart swelled with extreme excitement; it seemed he hadn’t been this thrilled in a long time. Stepping into the void, his entire being directly entered the astonishing long rainbow that pierced through the nine heavens.

Indeed, in the deepest part of this rosy glow, where nine colors of light intertwined, there seemed to be an endless stream of fierce sharpness constantly cleansing Xu Yang’s physical body. This was the most powerful manifestation of this deeply hidden natural law.
