Chapter 1732: Revived Dragon Vein

As expected, the moment the massive axe struck his body, all the power of the Dragon Source Crystals within him seemed to be instantly activated by that single blow. A fiery red light burst forth from the wound, and the individual began to rapidly melt.

This was because the dragon power released by the Dragon Source Crystals was excessively violent, completely surpassing the physical limits the Supreme Elder of the Xuanyuan Royal Family could withstand.

However, this puzzled Xu Yang, as the Supreme Elder represented an absolute top-tier cultivator, surpassing even the Boundless Mirror realm.

Yet, the power within these Dragon Source Crystals could exceed his physical limits, proving that the fundamental power of the dragon race within them seemed to have surpassed the confines of the Kunlun Divine Path's power system.

In other words, these Dragon Source Crystals, being the last of the six power sources, seemed to possess power inherently superior to the Kunlun Divine Path's cultivation system.

“No wonder these six power sources, when integrated, pose a threat capable of crushing the will of the Supreme God,” he mused. “Otherwise, the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods would not have been feared by the Supreme God's will then, nor would they have been defeated one by one by that entity's schemes, eventually withdrawing from the stage of history prematurely and fading into obscurity.”

Now, Xu Yang, as the inheritor of the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods' will, had once again arrived at the summit of Kunlun, intent on reclaiming their lost glory.

These six great power sources were Xu Yang's ultimate means to defend that glory.

“With me here, I won't allow you to recklessly squander the power of these Dragon Source Crystals. Stop this at once!”

Xu Yang became utterly enraged, letting out a furious roar. Then, a colossal palm rapidly condensed in the void, radiating terrifying power. This was Xu Yang's unparalleled peak strength as a human, a power that had now surpassed the limits of the Great Realm of Life and Death.

The suppressive aura unleashed by that massive palm utterly crushed the so-called glory of the Boundless Mirror.

Before Xu Yang, a powerful figure like the Supreme Elder had become a helpless ant. As expected, the giant palm slowly pressed down on the Supreme Elder of the Xuanyuan Royal Family. With no resistance whatsoever, he was instantly enveloped within Xu Yang's massive palm.

Xu Yang's terrifying power at that moment further suppressed the fundamental dragon energy of the Dragon Source Crystals from fully unleashing within the Supreme Elder's body.

Two pressures, one internal and one external, simultaneously bore down on the Supreme Elder's body. The pain inflicted upon him was unimaginable, and frenzied wails continuously escaped his lips.

At this moment, however, he could receive no help from any external force; only the fate of being crushed awaited him.

Xu Yang acted as one contestant in this power struggle, while the power of the Dragon Source Crystals represented the other.

Two extreme powers were using the Supreme Elder's physical body as a medium for an earth-shattering confrontation.

Under the crushing force of the giant palm, the Supreme Elder's body began to crack and crumble. Finally, at the instant the two extreme forces collided, it completely shattered into nothingness. The Supreme Elder of the Xuanyuan Royal Family was thus pulverized by Xu Yang, but his soul essence did not perish immediately.

Floating slowly in mid-air was the Dragon Source Crystal, which had a slight crack made by him and was still emitting fiery red dragon source energy. It was reclaimed by Xu Yang's massive palm.

However, this did not seem to signify the end of the confrontation. The Supreme Elder, now stripped of his complete physical body, let out a triumphant cackle.

“Do you truly believe you've won this confrontation?” he sneered. “Even if you completely crush my soul and body, you will never be the victor. Because once a crack appears in the Dragon Source Crystal, it means a true catastrophe is about to descend upon the summit of Kunlun, and destruction also awaits your hundreds of thousands of beast armies. Xu Yang, don't you consider yourself invincible, capable of changing the fate of all these lowly beasts by yourself? I'm genuinely eager to see what methods you will use to turn the tide and save the summit of Kunlun from its impending doom.”

The Supreme Elder vented his rage with a hideous cackle. He had already achieved his goal of mutual destruction; all that remained was to watch the entire summit of Kunlun head towards ruin.

Little did he know, Xu Yang was completely unmoved by his taunts. He remained calm, observing his surroundings and awaiting the arrival of the so-called catastrophe of the Kunlun summit that the Supreme Elder spoke of.

Soon, the earth began to violently convulse. Xu Yang finally realized that the catastrophe the Supreme Elder spoke of was none other than the Coiling Dragon of the Kunlun summit, which he had paid attention to before.

“So that's it. I really didn't expect the secret to be hidden within this Coiling Dragon Peak.”

Xu Yang activated his Celestial Eye, and two incredibly brilliant golden rays pierced directly through the Forbidden Land of the Xuanyuan Royal Family's Immortal Mansion. They penetrated the entire summit of Kunlun from a bird's-eye view. Only then did he discover that the originally massive Coiling Dragon mountain range was rapidly cracking.

All the peaks and rocks covering the mountain range were shaking wildly, looking more like a true giant dragon, dormant within the mountain's shell, beginning to awaken.

What shocked Xu Yang even more was the resurgence of a true dragon aura, one he was incredibly familiar with. It was no illusion; all of it was real.

“So this Coiling Dragon mountain peak has been guarding the summit of Kunlun all along! The true dragon vein of this land is about to appear!”

Upon realizing this, Xu Yang immediately dismissed the idea of wasting any more time in this illusion. He knew very well that the Supreme Elder no longer posed any threat to him; the true challenge would undoubtedly be the awakening dragon vein. Furthermore, within this dragon vein, the real secret concerning the entire history and legacy of the Kunlun Divine Path was likely hidden.

“The game is getting more and more interesting.”

Xu Yang toyed with the Dragon Source Crystal in his hand, which now bore a crack, and a smile reappeared on his face.

Before leaving, however, he didn't forget to cast one last glance at the void.

“It's time for you guys to stretch your muscles. This old fellow is at the end of his rope. Let him perish completely in this forbidden land of the Xuanyuan Royal Family. I have more important matters to attend to.”

After giving these instructions, Xu Yang handed over the soul essence of the Supreme Elder of the Xuanyuan Royal Family to Long Kun and the others. He then directly pierced through the void, stepped down into the air, and arrived at the topmost layer of the Kunlun summit, looking down at the awakening dragon vein below.
