Chapter 1746: Eighteen Old Gods Assemble

Immediately following him, a complete soul silhouette suddenly soared into the sky, towering over all beings, and flew to the furthest reaches of the Ninth Heaven where Xu Yang was.

"Old God Aulan greets Master!"

This entity named Aulan was actually a man with a human head and a snake body. His form was extremely bizarre and unique to this world. He was also the sixth-ranked among the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods. The most potent essence of his life force and the origin of his soul had all merged together and appeared before Xu Yang.

Little did they know, Xu Yang was at this moment employing the cultivation technique of the Kunlun Sacrifice.

This was also the crucial reason Xu Yang could awaken the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods so easily.

If Xu Yang had used his exclusive Taoist method of the Golden Light Tai Chi Totem to call upon the life forms within this space, it would likely have been difficult to achieve such a clear effect.

Xu Yang used the lineage of the Kunlun Human Emperor to expound his civilized ideology. This brought a glimmer of hope to these long-slumbering beings and also added a layer of legitimacy to his own identity.

Indeed, Xu Yang's approach yielded extremely significant results. Not long after Aulan's spirit appeared, one former comrade after another made the same choice, each soaring from different directions and immediately flying towards the void, into the domain space of the Ninth Emperor.

After Goddess Yanxia quickly witnessed this scene, her eyes filled with tears. After hundreds of thousands of years of separation, seeing her old companions again was a feeling truly impossible to describe with words.

Until the complete seventeen ancient Old God totems had gathered, Goddess Yanxia finally joined the group. She was also the one among the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods with the most complete life force manifestation, as she alone possessed not only life force and soul origin but also a complete physical body.

In fact, when the will of the Supreme God punished the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods, it almost destroyed the physical bodies of most of them. Only Goddess Yanxia was an exception because she was the only one chosen by the Supreme God's consciousness to be imprisoned. Therefore, her body was not prematurely destroyed, which now served as a powerful advantage for her.

"Old friends, long time no see."

The remaining seventeen Old Gods, seeing Goddess Yanxia in such a complete state, each showed expressions of surprise and looked at each other.

"Sister Yanxia, you've survived so well! Could it be that you've become a traitor to the Supreme God's will?"

Goddess Yanxia smiled bitterly, helpless. She shared with the seventeen Old Gods her past of being imprisoned deep within the lake and subsequently being rescued by Xu Yang.

And Goddess Yanxia was very clever; she concisely shared and recounted with each of her seventeen old comrades all the efforts Xu Yang had made during this time for the eighteen Old Gods and the entire Kunlun civilization.

Because she was the only one who could act as a go-between for the Old Gods and Xu Yang, and only she understood the eighteen Old Gods best, with her help, the sense of estrangement between Xu Yang and the other seventeen strongest warriors of the Kunlun civilization quickly disappeared.

Without the previous relational barriers between them, they quickly formed a new whole.

"From now on, Xu Yang will be the Master of us, the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods. He is the only one worthy of dominating all of us, the true Ninth Human Emperor. He has already received the recognition of us, the Guardian Old Gods of the Kunlun lineage. Master Xu Yang, what are your plans now?"

Seeing everyone so direct and sincere, and having truly formed a cohesive group, Xu Yang felt very proud of the achievement before him.

"I need the fundamental power of all you Old Gods to merge into one. With the aid of my Kunlun Sacrifice cultivation technique, and using the faith of these myriad beings as a medium, it will be sealed within my body.

In the future, when I finally confront the will of the Supreme God, I will use this part of your power to utterly crush the will of the Supreme God."

The Eighteen Guardian Old Gods naturally understood that the so-called Ninth Source of Power was the force that would erupt when their eighteen individual life forces merged into one. That was the most powerful protective force the Kunlun Human Emperor had left for this lineage.

The Old Gods nodded one after another. "Master, please rest assured. From the moment we eighteen were born into this world, we understood our mission and glory.

The true meaning of 'guardian' is not in the individual combat strength each of us eighteen possesses, but rather, when our lives merge into one, it marks the beginning of the transmission of all power from the Kunlun Origin.

Once the power of us eighteen is reunited in your hands, Master, the Nine Veins of Kunlun's power sources will perfectly combine. Coupled with the Kunlun Sacrifice cultivation technique, it will be equivalent to reverting all the inheritances of the Kunlun Divine Path back to their origin.

That was also when the Kunlun Human Emperor, our savior, achieved the Tao Fruit of the Human Emperor. All life forms of the Kunlun Divine Path that now exist in this world were originally conceived within that very Tao Fruit.

Therefore, to completely dismantle the rule of the Supreme God's will and restore it to its most primal form, there is only one way: to return all the civilization's aura of the Kunlun Divine Path to its origin.

In this way, the Supreme God's will, which rules the Kunlun Divine Path, will lose its connection to the life forces of all of us. Then, when you, Master, utterly destroy it, it will not affect the destiny of anyone in the Kunlun Divine Path."

Xu Yang nodded solemnly. "That's precisely it. Since you all possess such high awareness, it saves me from having to explain anything further. Without delay, since we have completed our work here, let's begin the fusion. I need to prepare in advance, and then open the Gate to Heaven to awaken the Supreme God's consciousness."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Thus, the life forces of all Eighteen Guardian Old Gods began to rapidly merge.

Thanks to their proactive help and cooperation, Xu Yang himself did not expend much effort to integrate everyone's power into the medium of faith, sealing it within his own body.

This power then circulated within Xu Yang's body, constantly swirling and intertwining with Xu Yang's life force above the golden Tai Chi totem, attempting to merge into one.

From then on, the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods also received the protective power of Xu Yang's Golden Light Tai Chi Totem, their strength was further enhanced, and they achieved an alternative form of immortality.

Unless Xu Yang's life force completely crumbles, the souls of the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods will never be extinguished. These eighteen individuals, along with the Dragon Vein Totem, will forever protect Xu Yang.
