Chapter 1814: Starfire Spreads Wildfire

Fortunately, Xu Yang was holding a baby at this moment. If it had been a woman instead, she would probably have been the happiest person in the world.

A series of incredible thoughts flashed through the female killer god's mind. When she composed herself and refocused her attention on Xu Yang floating in the void, and the dazzling stone tablet inscribed with bright runes, that world-shaking sword strike finally came down.

The ice-blue sword energy waves released from Xu Yang's Cold Spring Divine Artifact, right before everyone's eyes, with a single strike, shattered the massive stone tablet into countless scattered pieces.

"No!!"

The shattering of the stone tablet naturally meant that the so-called rewards the people of Saint Soul City were supposed to receive had completely vanished. In their decaying spiritual world, this was the most serious event, equivalent to Xu Yang directly shattering their faith with a single sword.

Little did they know that Xu Yang doing this was actually saving their decaying souls.

However, these people had no time to awaken. They simply regarded Xu Yang as their greatest enemy and roared with wild resentment.

It was during this time that hundreds of cloaked experts unleashed deep green energy, silently enveloping a portion of the void around Xu Yang.

However, Xu Yang remained incredibly domineering, facing the massive stone tablet, and showed no inclination whatsoever to pay attention to the vulnerable cloaked experts around him.

But as the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire. Xu Yang had to admit that he underestimated the special power unleashed by the combined techniques of these cloaked martial artists.

Although that power was far from capable of inflicting any harm on Xu Yang's body as the Ninth Human Emperor, it silently underwent a qualitative transformation after all the energies merged.

It was a peculiar change in technique power that Xu Yang had not anticipated.

Silently, Xu Yang realized that although he had shattered the stone tablet, by ignoring the combined assault of so many cloaked experts earlier, he had quietly lost the optimal time to counterattack.

And now, all the accumulated deep green light and powerful martial aura had completely surrounded the void where Xu Yang stood.

The sealing effect of that power was completely different from any space-element technique Xu Yang had practiced before.

It could, within a short period, cause Xu Yang to lose all sense of direction. Even if he had cultivated the Ghost Valley Qimen Array, he couldn't break through the combined power of their techniques in such a short time.

"Oh? What kind of technique is this? I've never encountered anything like it."

Xu Yang immediately felt a hint of curiosity.

But it was certainly not fear, for no power or opponent on the entire main continent could make Xu Yang feel genuine fear.

To him, it was merely a temporary increase of several difficulty levels in this game, which only piqued his interest in completing it even more.

"Kid, you truly don't know your place. These powerful individuals are not ordinary martial artists; they are true Sacrificial Spirits.

You might not have a clear understanding of their true identity yet, but you will soon realize what the power unleashed by these people around you truly means.”

The middle-aged man in white robes had delayed his move precisely because he had a complete understanding of the strength of these cloaked Sacrificial Spirit martial artists and the transformative effect of their combined techniques.

There was no need for him to act personally; the combined martial power of these individuals alone could bring unimaginable catastrophic consequences upon Xu Yang.

Although he had also greatly underestimated Xu Yang's true strength, it had to be said that this concentrated tri-green martial light did cause Xu Yang considerable trouble.

In a very short time, Xu Yang found that his communication with the aura of all surrounding space was completely cut off. The deep green energy light was still intensifying, and Xu Yang's body, along with the tender infant in his arms, had been firmly trapped within it.

It wasn't that Xu Yang lacked the power to shatter such a seal. Rather, within this sealed space where he completely lost his sense of direction, Xu Yang didn't even know where to direct his power.

Because he had no way to lock onto the aura sources of those Sacrificial Spirits. This special deep green martial light could completely block out the aura of everyone outside.

Even though Xu Yang possessed earth-shattering cultivation and energy within his body, he couldn't locate his opponents. This was the true reason he was trapped.

"Heh, this is interesting. I'm wondering if I should release my Human Emperor Domain.

If I do that, everyone around me will perish in an instant, at my mere thought.

But if I use my true strength, I'm afraid the last bit of fun in this game will completely disappear.”

Xu Yang was in no hurry to break out of this sealed state. He was still leisurely communicating with the adorable baby in his arms.

Although Xu Yang knew he couldn't get any response from the little one, he enjoyed it immensely.

Xu Yang was currently considering only one problem: to remain within this sealing power and try to find a way to resolve this sealed state.

However, if he did that, Xu Yang worried that prolonged confinement might have negative effects on the little one. Thus, Xu Yang fell into a brief moment of indecision.

However, he did not expect that while he was pondering whether to continue this increasingly difficult game, the masked female assassin outside, completely unaware of the true extent of his power, made a decision before Xu Yang could break free.

A flash of chilling purple light instantly erupted from the crowd. Large numbers of martial artist soldiers fell, not even realizing how they died.

This was from a top-tier female assassin of the Heavenly Sect in the mid-Integration stage. Assassins might not be the most powerful martial artists in direct combat, but they were the most experienced experts in the domain of taking opponents' lives.

In an instant, hundreds of martial artist soldiers were beheaded by this female killer god.

Then, her figure soared into the air without hesitation, approaching Xu Yang from another direction.

In the female killer god's hands, at some unknown point, there appeared a long, flexible weapon shimmering with intertwining red and blue lights. This weapon was far from being a simple whip.

It was unknown what special material it was made from. It was only seen that with every swing of the long whip, this female killer god in the mid-Integration stage could effortlessly dispatch several cloaked Sacrificial Spirit martial artists nearby.
