Chapter 1690: Icebound Misty Rain Royalty

To the Patriarch of the Yanyu Imperial Family, your clansmen have fallen into a berserk state. It's time to calm them down, and I'll leave the aftermath for you to handle.

I need to use the power of this Immortal Divine Lotus in conjunction with the power sources of the other five lineages to contend with the Supreme God's consciousness. Since you've already reached a spiritual consensus with me, you should understand what I'm saying.

As for the predicament your Yanyu Imperial Family will face after losing the Immortal Divine Lotus, I will personally resolve that issue. Once the order of the Kunlun Divine Path is redefined, all problems will find their final answers.”

Xu Yang's words were transmitted directly into the mind of the Yanyu Imperial Family's Patriarch through his spiritual power. Consequently, when the Patriarch looked up at Xu Yang again, his eyes were filled with a brilliant light.

“Thank you, Lord Xu Yang. Thankfully, you are guiding us; otherwise, the Kunlun Divine Path would likely descend into complete chaos and be eternally doomed.”

Xu Yang merely offered a faint smile. Without further hesitation, he swung the Cold Spring, his primary divine artifact, horizontally. In an instant, the immensely powerful freezing force released from the artifact's true form condensed into a sword-energy barrier, instantly encasing thousands of young Yanyu clan cultivators.

Initially, this freezing domain merely encircled the cultivators' bodies, steadily expanding inward. Thousands of Yanyu Imperial Family cultivators were utterly stunned.

They truly hadn't expected Xu Yang's current strength to reach such a formidable level. More importantly, to be able to unleash such a pure freezing domain with just a single sword—such power and cultivation method had never been achieved by anyone before.

However, Xu Yang's primary divine artifact, which is in perfect spiritual resonance with him, had long since achieved a perfect synchronization with his soul. When combined with Xu Yang's own cultivation method, its power, conveyed through the art of the sword, was unleashed with almost no loss of potency.

This was the unparalleled advantage Xu Yang possessed when wielding the primary divine artifact forged from his innate Qi soul. With just a single swing of his sword, the battle was declared over. Everyone was completely sealed within the void battlefield by the freezing power that gradually enveloped their bodies.

Only the Patriarch of the Yanyu Imperial Family, under Xu Yang's deliberate care, was shielded from the effect of this freezing power.

Witnessing the scene unfolding before him, the Yanyu Imperial Family Patriarch, who had been standing by in a daze, was utterly dumbfounded. He, of course, understood that Xu Yang's power far surpassed that of all beings in the Kunlun Divine Path, but he truly hadn't imagined it had reached such an astonishing degree.

“Your Excellency is truly an unparalleled genius, one in a million. It seems the Immortal Divine Lotus can truly realize its full value in your hands. Witnessing your incomparable methods, I am now completely at ease. I believe the entire Kunlun Divine Path will usher in a new era.”

Xu Yang gazed deeply at the Yanyu Imperial Family's Patriarch and nodded genuinely. This individual's spiritual insight was quite exceptional among all six human-spirit imperial lineages.

At the very least, he could reach a consensus with Xu Yang on the same level. After sealing these thousands of Yanyu Imperial Family cultivators, Xu Yang retrieved the Cold Spring, his first personal primary divine artifact. He then transformed into a streak of light, vanishing from the void battlefield and reappearing at the entrance of the Yanyu Imperial Family's Immortal Abode.

“Look, Boss is back!”

Long Kun and the others began cheering from a distance. In fact, the terrifying power released by the Cold Spring, his primary divine artifact, the moment it appeared, along with the chilling aura that seemed to completely freeze the entire world, had already resonated strongly with the hundreds of thousands of demon beast army warriors present.

After all, they already knew that their Boss Xu Yang had initiated the plan to forge nine exclusive artifact souls. The earth-shattering roar of sword energy from earlier could not have been produced by anyone else but Xu Yang.

Xu Yang's triumphant return, coupled with the rich aura of life emanating from him, elevated his demeanor even further. It was impossible for him to conceal it from everyone present.

This was especially true for Xiao Xiang. She knew very well that the aura emanating from Xu Yang, which perfectly matched the primal power of the Longevity Victorious Method, must have originated from the Yanyu Imperial Family's power source.

Landing steadily, Xu Yang rejoined his familiar team. The core powerhouses all gathered around, drawn by the immense life aura radiating from Xu Yang.

“It seems, Boss, that you've succeeded. The life aura emanating from you gives me a feeling of vastness, like an ocean. Come on, let all of us see what the Yanyu Imperial Family's power source actually looks like.”

Xu Yang was not stingy in the least, gently waving his palm.

Although this was not the complete Immortal Divine Lotus itself, merely a wisp of its soul aura was enough for everyone to collectively bear witness to the greatness of this power.

A complex expression clearly flickered in Xiao Xiang's eyes. After all, she, like the cultivators in her sect, once held the Supreme God's will as her collective faith.

But now, things had changed drastically. Unbeknownst to them, everyone had taken different paths, and she had formally become a follower under Xu Yang's command.

However, even at this moment, she had never regretted her decision. Had Xu Yang not been there, Xiao Xiang might have already perished at the hands of those berserk demon beasts. How could she have grown to be so powerful today?

“Now that the Immortal Divine Lotus is in our possession, it's time for us to leave the Yanyu Imperial Family's Immortal Abode.”

Long Kun scratched his head, surveyed the quiet surroundings, and finally voiced the question on his mind.

“Boss, logically, the Yanyu Imperial Family's cultivators would never give up so easily. Why is it so quiet around here? Could it be that you've already encountered them?”

Xu Yang chuckled and nodded. “Otherwise, do you think they would let me take the Immortal Divine Lotus out of the forbidden area so easily? The Grand Elder Fossil is the greatest parasite feeding on the Immortal Divine Lotus's power. I've already completely refined that old man's physical body into my own spoils of war.

However, his soul essence should still be guarding the Supreme God's will. Before long, there will be another, more intense confrontation between our two sides.

But that's a story for later. Our next objective is to visit the respective dojos of the other five lineages and obtain their unique power sources.

Considering the power source of the Immortal Divine Lotus lineage, if we can simultaneously obtain all the power essences of the Human-Spirit Veins, it would be equivalent to controlling more than half of the power nurtured by the Kunlun Divine Path.
