Chapter 1729: Dragon Source Crystal

"My goodness, is this the suppression from a higher realm? Those elders had all reached the peak of Kunlun Immortal, yet they were completely powerless before Sir Xu Yang, unable to even resist or escape. It's truly unbelievable."

Behind him, younger generation girls like Xiao Xiang Jiu'er were completely stunned. They truly saw a new Xu Yang after he broke through the Great Dao of Life and Death. His strength seemed to have undergone an epic transformation, reaching the absolute pinnacle among human cultivators.

After clearing the obstacles presented by the Xuanyuan Clan, Xu Yang led his followers directly to the forbidden area of the Immortal Mansion. Little did he know, the Grand Elder of the Xuanyuan Clan had been waiting there for a long time.

"What was destined to come has finally arrived. This catastrophe couldn't be quelled at its inception, and it ultimately evolved into a calamity involving the entire Kunlun Divine Dao. I never imagined you would truly become the variable, breaking the limits of the Great Dao of Life and Death."

The elder sat cross-legged in the void above the forbidden area. The Xuanyuan Clan's Immortal Mansion felt incredibly vast and spacious. Although the environment was remarkably beautiful, as Long Kun would say, it was perfect for retirement.

However, the elder, sitting amidst the cloud peaks in the void, exuded an air of transcendent mastery. In fact, this old man's power far surpassed that of the Grand Elders from the other five lineages. He was truly the second most powerful figure in the entire Kunlun Divine Dao, surpassed only by the will of the Supreme God himself. His cultivation and realm were undoubtedly the highest.

Xu Yang sneered, glancing at the old man atop the cloud peak.

"Since you already know why I'm here, there's nothing more to discuss. Either you voluntarily surrender the Xuanyuan Clan's supreme divine artifact, the Source of Power, or you face judgment by my strength. Life or death, the choice is yours alone."

Despite Xu Yang's domineering declaration, the old man of the Xuanyuan Clan remained composed, calmly smiling.

"What you seek is indeed with me. But young man, heed my advice: this item is beyond your power to control. It's like a ferocious beast, lulled into slumber by my presence. If you recklessly use your power within this forbidden space, that treasure will awaken, and even with your human ultimate realm enlightened in the Great Dao of Life and Death, you might struggle to suppress it."

Xu Yang, however, grew interested in the old man's words and their underlying meaning.

"Whether I can suppress it is my concern. Whether you voluntarily hand over the treasure is your choice. All I want now is your attitude on that matter; don't bring up irrelevant topics."

The elder on the cloud sneered, ceasing all verbal communication with Xu Yang. He simply waved his sleeve, summoning a heavy, dark cloud above his head.

Soon, the black cloud unleashed an incredibly potent force of cloud lightning. Countless streaks of deep blue lightning crashed down, launching a wide-ranging attack that targeted Xu Yang's position. Even cultivators like Long Kun behind him felt the immense cumulative impact of this power. They each raised their hands, unleashing their techniques to resist the force.

Only Xu Yang remained motionless. A faint golden light quickly condensed around his body. In his State of Boundless Freedom, Xu Yang was immune to the power of all heavenly paths and myriad laws. How could mere lightning possibly harm him in the slightest?

"Since you enjoy playing such tricks, I'll indulge you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yang waved his hand. The Cold Spring divine artifact flew out, and its incredibly powerful frost energy instantly froze the old man atop the cloud peak in place.

The elder made minimal movements, merely releasing a powerful aura from his body to shatter the layer of ice around him. Once his mobility was restored, the elder conjured various elemental techniques with his hands, one after another. Powers of different colors condensed around him before fiercely descending towards Xu Yang's position below.

Yet, the effect was virtually identical to the previous attack. Xu Yang, in his State of Boundless Freedom, calmly moved through the deluge of powerful techniques, evading almost all of the opponent's suppressive methods.

Then, Xu Yang suddenly vanished from his spot, transforming into a streak of light. When he reappeared using spatial transference, he was already behind the elder. With a fierce palm strike, the elder's body also disappeared from the clouds.

Xu Yang smiled. "I didn't realize you, old man, also had some mastery over the laws of space and time. You truly are the most powerful Grand Elder among the Six Human Spirit Lineages. But I'll reiterate: with your strength, you are nowhere near qualified to contend with me."

As he spoke, Xu Yang raised a single palm into the air, and power rapidly converged. Soon, a gigantic purplish-black palm slowly descended from the edge of the cloud peak.

The immense power and formidable aura of this technique had surpassed the limits of what the Grand Elder could resist. It was clearly a force elevated to the level of a law. The elder had no choice but to grit his teeth and swiftly vanish from his spot, transforming into a streak of light.

However, he quickly discovered that no matter how he resisted the sealing aura using the laws of space and time, it was futile. As soon as he reappeared on the ground, the colossal palm print would follow, tracking his re-emerging presence. And as time passed, the pressure from this massive hand print grew increasingly intense.

Seeing the Grand Elder scurry around like a cornered rat, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"As a dignified Grand Elder, don't you find it laughable that you lack the courage to face my power head-on?"

Knowing he lacked the power to withstand the strike, the elder decisively summoned the Xuanyuan Clan's Source of Power.

"Since you're so interested, I'll show you what truly is the most powerful force among the Six Human Spirit Lineages!"

The next moment, the elder pressed his palms together, then slowly spread them apart. A crimson spherical orb rapidly emerged from his chest. Xu Yang was no stranger to that aura; it belonged to the Dragon Clan.

It was known that in this current era of the main continent, the Dragon Clan's bloodline inheritance had ceased to exist. Yet, this Source of Power contained such a profound Dragon Clan bloodline, suggesting some unknown secret was hidden within it.

More importantly, Xu Yang immediately perceived that the head-sized crimson lava crystal in the elder's palm contained Dragon Clan essence far more potent than any dragon blood he had previously acquired. This could only have one explanation: the dragon from which this dragon scale crystal originated must have been one of the most powerful beings within the Dragon Clan.
