Chapter 1689: Xu Yang's Promise

"To be frank, you should consider it an honor that I can extract the power source sealed within your forbidden zone and make it my own. Otherwise, with the immense life force of this Immortal Divine Lotus sealed within this forbidden zone, don't you think it's a terrible waste?

Oh, and there's another secret you probably don't know yet: before I unsealed this Immortal Divine Lotus, it was entirely monopolized by your so-called Grand Elder, the Living Fossil.

It's pathetic that you disciples are still defending the glory of the Immortal Divine Lotus with your lives, unaware that it's nothing but a joke. The will of the Supreme God is using the Grand Elder, the Living Fossil, to gain control over the power of all living beings within your Six Royal Lineages of the Human Spirit.

By merely granting you a small favor, they could manipulate the prodigies of the cultivation world from your six lineages. The greatest significance of what you've done over the years is simply serving as slaves to the Supreme God's will."

When Xu Yang revealed this secret, he had already anticipated that his words would become a Pandora's Box, shattering the perceptions of the cultivators from the Six Royal Lineages of the Human Spirit.

Therefore, he was fully prepared. He slowly gathered a wisp of the Immortal Divine Lotus's aura in his palm, to prove that the divine lotus was now his spoils of war. Additionally, he refined a portion of his soul memories, forming a tangible cloud of mist that projected before the young cultivators of the Misty Rain Royal Family.

This allowed them to clearly see how the Grand Elder, the Living Fossil, had used the life force of the Immortal Divine Lotus for his own benefit. When this scene appeared before everyone's eyes, even the cultivators of the Misty Rain Royal Family, who regarded the Supreme God's will as their faith, were utterly enraged.

What they most resented was not the loss of the Immortal Divine Lotus itself, but that the so-called will of the Supreme God had orchestrated such a deception to fool them.

"No, this is absolutely impossible! This is just an illusion you created to deceive us."

Several elders, unable to believe what they were seeing, still tried to refute Xu Yang's claims.

However, Xu Yang merely shook his head with a helpless smile at these pathetic individuals.

"Whether you believe it or not, since I have the ability to retrieve this Immortal Divine Lotus from the forbidden zone, and that forbidden zone was previously guarded and suppressed by the Grand Elder, the Living Fossil's power, these are all facts you already know.

Now I am simply presenting the brutal truth before you. It's just that deep down, you find it hard to accept this realization. Wake up quickly! You are undoubtedly the prodigies of the human race's cultivation world. Why would you allow the will of the Supreme God to shackle your future?

It is also time for the golden reputation of the Six Royal Lineages of the Human Spirit to be completely overturned. And I am the one who will lead you to a new future. I don't demand that all of you join my ranks and overthrow the rule of the Supreme God's will with my beast race army, but at the very least, helping you recognize reality is a good start."

Upon hearing Xu Yang's words, the Sect Master of the Misty Rain Royal Family finally sighed helplessly.

"In comparison, I would rather believe Sir Xu Yang this time, because with his strength, if this were merely a dream he fabricated, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths.

With his power, it would be far easier for him to simply kill us and wipe out the entire Misty Rain Royal Family line. That would be much simpler; there's no need for him to weave such an illusory dream for opponents like us, who are not strong enough.

As Sir Xu Yang said, perhaps we just don't want to accept this truth deep down, which is why we are deceiving ourselves here."

Ultimately, the Sect Master of the Misty Rain Royal Family was a pragmatic individual. More importantly, Xiao Xiang, who was previously the strongest disciple of the younger generation, had suddenly betrayed the Misty Rain Royal Family to pledge allegiance to Xu Yang. This fact alone had already led the Sect Master into deep contemplation.

Later, their lineage's Chief Elder also chose to make the same move as Xiao Xiang. None of this was baseless; it all had clear indications.

If Xu Yang were truly just playing a prank, why would he lead these demon beast warriors in such a heaven-defying act? Judging by all of Xu Yang's actions and demeanor, he had no need to weave any lies.

The truth was already laid bare. Now, the only question was when these misguided cultivators, unwilling to awaken from their dream, would finally come to their senses.

The elders gradually fell into a state of bewilderment; after all, the will of the Supreme God had been their lifelong faith, which they had guarded for so many years.

Now, suddenly, someone stood before them, revealing the brutal truth, making these elders feel as though they had lived their entire lives within a deception. What a truly tragic and lamentable situation this was.

As expected, several elders, who were relatively senior and powerful, finally erupted in boundless rage. In reality, they weren't hating Xu Yang for exposing the truth, but rather hating themselves for having lived most of their lives in confusion.

However, they had nowhere to vent such emotions, and could only unleash them through the rage in their hearts at that moment. Xu Yang, quite naturally, became the only opponent they could find.

"Whether it's true or false, you dared to seize what is ours by force. You shattered the Misty Rain Royal Family's forbidden zone and stole the Immortal Divine Lotus. These two crimes alone are enough to condemn you to eternal damnation. Xu Yang, today, either you kill all of us who resist from the Misty Rain Royal Family, or you leave the Immortal Divine Lotus behind."

The speaker was one of the five top elders. He wielded a meteor hammer with fierce power. In his fury, this burly man finally hurled his heavy hammer towards Xu Yang. With a thunderous roar, countless explosive forces erupted around Xu Yang.

In just one exchange, this elder demonstrated his true cultivation depth. Unfortunately, even all these individuals combined were no match for Xu Yang now.

Xu Yang shook his head with a bitter, helpless smile, then exchanged a glance with the Sect Master of the Misty Rain Royal Family. Only the Sect Master seemed to understand Xu Yang.

However, given the current situation, the Sect Master alone was insufficient to quell the chaos. These elders, their faith shattered, had already become completely berserk.

Xu Yang had previously promised Xiao Xiang that he would not harm her clan members, so he had no intention of breaking his word. But how was he to soothe the agitated situation before him? After a brief moment of thought, Xu Yang had a perfect strategy.
