Chapter 1727: Stubborn Xuanyuan Sect Leader

After departing from the forbidden area of the Nether Imperial Family's immortal abode, Xu Yang and all his top-tier companions felt profoundly excited.

They were filled with anticipation because they would soon collect all the Heavenly and Earthly Treasure legacies from the Six Human-Spirit Meridians. The final battleground was undoubtedly set at the Xuanyuan Imperial Family's immortal abode.

Although Jiu'er had grown up in the Xuanyuan Imperial Family's immortal abode, she had recently found her biological father, the Crying Blood Demon Saint. Consequently, she harbored no substantial affection for the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, who had withheld the truth from her for so many years.

From childhood, she had always been treated as an outsider within the Xuanyuan Imperial Family. Few young disciples were willing to befriend her; most regarded her as an eccentric.

Given Jiu'er's lack of a deep emotional connection to the Xuanyuan Dynasty, she showed no resentment when Xu Yang led his team of experts to establish the final battleground at the Xuanyuan Imperial Family's immortal abode.

As the starlight descended, the final power inscription finally appeared. Xu Yang stepped into it without hesitation. He made no specific arrangements for his companions, confident that this final battle held no suspense.

As expected, the moment his immensely powerful aura entered the Xuanyuan Imperial Family's immortal abode, a vast, oppressive energy rapidly enveloped every corner of the space. Xu Yang had now surpassed the limits of humanity, transcended the boundary between life and death, and achieved true physical and spiritual immortality.

Having reached the pinnacle of the human cultivation world, he harbored no apprehension towards the cultivators before him.

As his aura expanded, every cultivator within the Xuanyuan Imperial Family's immortal abode, regardless of their level, felt an extreme sense of trepidation, as if facing the arrival of death itself.

"My heavens! This aura is overwhelmingly powerful; he truly is the one who comprehended the Great Dao of Life and Death. Could it be that our Xuanyuan Imperial Family is truly facing complete annihilation this time?"

Several young cultivators spoke nervously, while their senior brothers appeared ready to sacrifice their lives. Every cultivator of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, from birth, bore the indelible mark of loyalty to the will of the Supreme God.

Defending the Supreme God's majesty was ingrained in their very being, flowing in their blood. No amount of persuasion or appeals to morality could alter their fundamental purpose.

Consequently, virtually everyone in the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, from top to bottom, was prepared for battle against Xu Yang. Yet, in Xu Yang's eyes, their resistance was futile, akin to moths drawn to a flame or an egg striking a rock.

"Stop wasting time. I can sense your emotional turmoil. Since you have no confidence in this battle, why continue to resist? I truly do not wish for you, the pride of the human race, to die meaninglessly by my hand."

Xu Yang's words echoed throughout the immortal abode, reaching the ears of every Xuanyuan Imperial Family disciple. Soon after, powerful figures like Long Kun began to appear. Many had gathered, but all were merely spectators, fully aware that once Xu Yang decided to act personally, there was nothing left for anyone else to do.

"Heh, you certainly make a grand entrance, worthy of the human supreme expert who has comprehended the Great Dao of Life and Death. I know that with your current strength, annihilating us would be as simple as crushing a group of ants."

"However, I intend to show you through our actions that even if we are destined to fall by your hand, we will do so without regret. There is absolutely no way you, Xu Yang, can overthrow the entire legacy of the Kunlun Divine Path by yourself."

The speaker radiated confidence. Moments later, the head of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family manifested his true form. He had previously clashed with Xu Yang and proven his formidable strength, having reached the half-step Boundless Realm.

From the perspective of the entire human cultivation realm, the head of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family certainly possessed commendable qualifications. However, before Xu Yang, Long Kun, and their group, he utterly lacked prestige.

"A mere combatant of your caliber dares to be so presumptuous in front of our leader?"

Long Kun contemptuously raised his middle finger at the head of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, openly displaying his disdain. It wasn't that Long Kun habitually looked down on the weak.

What shamed him was the Xuanyuan Imperial Family head's overconfidence. To make such a grand display and send defenseless young disciples to their deaths demonstrated a lack of fitness to lead.

"Enough nonsense! You are not qualified to speak here. As the head of the Xuanyuan Clan, with a formidable enemy before us, I will valiantly defend our faith, fearless of death. What wrong have I done?"

Ling Yao, standing nearby, spoke coldly. "Your so-called defense of faith means leading your disciples and grand-disciples to their deaths, doesn't it? You may have lived enough, but they haven't. This is pure selfishness. I've seen too many like you who mistake selfishness for nobility."

"Boss, why not let me handle this arrogant individual? Slaying this selfish and shortsighted Xuanyuan head would also prevent the loss of more innocent human cultivators from the Xuanyuan Imperial Family."

Xu Yang pondered for a moment before finally nodding.

He agreed it was time to give his companions an opportunity to gain experience. Besides, with him present to oversee the situation, he was confident this individual could cause no significant trouble.

Upon receiving Xu Yang's approval, Ling Yao unhesitatingly waved her hand. The Sky Sword Totem rapidly materialized, and combined with her powerful ice-attribute cultivation technique, she unleashed a fierce sword strike towards the Xuanyuan head.

However, the opponent merely sneered, swiftly forming hand seals. An incredibly translucent flame rapidly condensed into a solid fiery mass before the Xuanyuan head.

"To employ elemental power techniques before me, you truly underestimate the legacy of our Xuanyuan Clan."

The opponent appeared very confident in his technique, and he was not mistaken. The Xuanyuan Imperial Family was renowned for its mastery over various elemental powers. While a pure ice-attribute technique was undeniably potent, it would be nearly useless against this individual.
