Chapter 1747: Residual Sentiment Shows Its Power

With the collection of the mandates of the eighteen guardian old gods complete, Xu Yang had effectively gathered all the legacy power of the Kunlun lineage.

The six sources of power from the six Human-Spirit paths, along with Xiao Hui and the female cat representing two imperial beast bloodlines, and finally, the mandates of the eighteen guardian old gods, converged to form the ninth Kunlun power. In this way, the nine fundamental sources of inherited power left by the Kunlun Human Emperor were perfectly gathered within Xu Yang alone.

Now, Xu Yang also held the title of the true Ninth Human Emperor. He had become the absolute master, truly qualified to dominate and inherit the entire legacy of the Kunlun lineage.

This land beneath his feet should be governed by Xu Yang's will.

But precisely because of this, Xu Yang's perspective on problems had broadened. Although he had now gathered more than enough power to confront and conquer the Supreme God's Will, he was also keenly aware that if hundreds of thousands of demon beast warriors were to join a battle of this magnitude, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A mere power surge from any two top-tier experts could instantly wipe out swathes of them. Yet, if the demon beast warriors were denied participation in this battle, their long-cherished wish would remain unfulfilled.

The idea that the demon beast race could truly change their destiny through their own power would then be rendered meaningless. However, if they were allowed to enter the final battlefield, Xu Yang could almost certainly predict the horrific devastation that would ensue. The power of the Supreme God's Will was nearly equal to his own.

Just a few techniques from the Supreme God's Will could inflict fatal destruction upon the demon beast army. Moreover, Xu Yang would need to commit his full strength in the final battle, leaving him no leisure to watch over hundreds of thousands of demon beast troops, let alone divert power to protect them. How to resolve this issue truly stumped Xu Yang.

Just then, the artifact spirit of the Emperor's Cauldron within him stirred once more, finally bringing Xu Yang delightful news.

The second main divine artifact, which had been dormant for a long time within the Emperor's Cauldron and was forged from an extraterrestrial meteorite, had finally given birth to incomparably powerful sword energy.

This energy instantly erupted within Xu Yang's body, spreading to every corner of the internal space of Kunlun Mountain and imposing an incredibly powerful spiritual pressure on all beings present.

The second main divine artifact, Canqing (Residual Emotion), was perfectly forged, also reaching the strength level of a main divine artifact. It was the second main divine artifact crafted by Xu Yang's exclusive Qi Soul.

More importantly, Canqing was originally the combined form of Yin-Yang Twin Swords. If separated for use, the power of the two swords combined would be astonishing, equivalent to the additive power of two main divine artifacts. However, Xu Yang's swordsmanship was not accustomed to this dual-wielding offensive mode.

Therefore, for Xu Yang, the main divine artifact Canqing's primary function lay in the exclusive talents of its two components: one possessing "Residual Soul" and the other "Bloodthirsty."

"There's a way!"

After sensing the aura emanating from the newly forged main divine artifact Canqing within him, a remarkably clever idea immediately sparked in Xu Yang's mind.

If his idea could be actualized by Xu Yang using great magical power, it would perfectly avert the crisis of hundreds of thousands of demon beast troops losing their lives in the final battle.

Xu Yang's method was simple: he would use the sword spirit of his main divine artifact to carry the soul power of hundreds of thousands of demon beast troops. This way, on the main battlefield, he could unleash the fundamental souls of the demon beast warriors through his main divine artifact.

This would not only preserve their physical bodies and life force from being crushed by the immense pressure of the main battlefield but also allow them to fully participate, thus fulfilling their long-cherished wish.

In this way, Xu Yang would have made a complete and satisfactory arrangement for the entire demon beast race.

After this idea came to him, Xu Yang immediately summoned the incredibly powerful, newly forged Canqing. Two perfectly formed divine swords, one red and one blue, hovered around Xu Yang's body.

Xu Yang then simultaneously summoned the Four Demon Sages to his presence, sharing this unique combat method with them. After all, these four demon beasts were the undisputed leaders among all participating demon warriors, and if they agreed, the plan could proceed.

The outcome did not disappoint Xu Yang. After all, his influence was truly unparalleled, and since Xu Yang himself had spoken, the Four Demon Sages would certainly not utter a single word of dissent.

More importantly, the combat method proposed by Xu Yang was precisely what they most wished to see. Who would want their kin to perish like moths drawn to a flame in the final battle?

Demon Sage Qitian nodded gently and addressed Xu Yang.

"Since it is your esteemed decree, we shall naturally obey. Moreover, your plan seeks to protect the vital forces of our demon beast warriors as much as possible. How could we possibly refuse your plan? We can barely express our gratitude."

"However, if this is done, your newly forged main divine artifact will not be able to be used offensively on the main battlefield; it can only serve as a medium for carrying souls."

Xu Yang shook his head indifferently.

"One more sword or one less sword will have no substantial impact on the intensity of the final battle. To defeat the Supreme God's Will, I must rely on my own Dao lineage, the Kunlun Rite, and the nine sources of power to completely conquer it."

"These two main divine artifacts are merely byproducts I created in preparation for this final battle. Furthermore, the Kunlun Divine Path is not our ultimate destination; it is merely the beginning of our conquest. These main divine artifacts are for preparing for subsequent battles."

"As long as you four agree, then issue the orders immediately. I need to find an opportune moment to make the ultimate preparations for this final decisive battle."

"Once everything is ready and the Heavenly Gate opens, the hundreds of thousands of demon beast warriors will not need to leave this internal space of Kunlun Mountain; they can stay here. I will use this main divine artifact Canqing to unleash the soul power of all warriors to their fullest extent. You can rest assured."

Xu Yang's word was as good as gold; since he had taken the initiative to propose this, the Four Demon Sages would undoubtedly give their full support.

Soon, they each went among the legions of hundreds of thousands of demon beast troops, conveying Xu Yang's specific battle plan to every powerful subordinate. Everyone understood the honorable Xu Yang's painstaking efforts. They all nodded gravely, looking at Xu Yang, the absolute leader of their team, with an increased sense of admiration.

"Boss, we are now fully prepared; all we lack is the opportune moment," someone said. "How exactly should the hiding place of the Supreme God's Will be opened? Do you have any ideas?"

Xu Yang shook his head.

"The only thing I can be certain of is that finding the specific location or coordinates within this internal space of Kunlun Mountain is almost impossible. We must return to the Peak of Kunlun and use the heavenly laws within the Kunlun Divine Path to find some clues."
