Chapter 1832: True Fierce Martial God's Battle Soul

“Battle Soul, Awaken!”

At the same moment, Martial God Zhen Gang sensed Xu Yang’s eagerness and serious intent. Deep down, he felt a genuine apprehension towards this obscure human prodigy.

Especially when Xu Yang’s gaze, looking down upon him, met his own battle god’s eyes in the very next instant, a profound and genuine fear, one he hadn't experienced in tens of thousands of years, immediately enveloped every corner of his soul.

Even a supreme martial artist like Martial God Zhen Gang, who was unmatched in battle, finally trembled under Xu Yang’s formidable power.

Had it been any other Martial God as his opponent, Zhen Gang would have never believed they could breach his Martial God's defense with a single strike. Yet, this time, standing before Xu Yang, he genuinely felt this worry and, without hesitation, unleashed his most formidable defensive power to its absolute limit.

“Battle Soul Possession!”

With a roar from Zhen Gang, a dark-golden battle god totem swiftly materialized behind him. This was his exclusive Martial God Battle Soul Aspect, bestowed upon him by the myriad paths of the Ancient Martial God Path region after he achieved the glory of a Martial God.

It was akin to Xu Yang’s coronation as the Ninth Human Emperor; after being granted Martial God glory, this individual also awakened his strongest battle soul.

Every martial artist who attains the position of Martial God can acquire battle soul power that perfectly aligns with their cultivation system and martial arts skills.

At least in terms of prestige, by unleashing his exclusive battle soul power, Martial God Zhen Gang gained the fundamental qualification to contend with Xu Yang.

Naturally, for Xu Yang, facing the current Martial God Zhen Gang did not necessitate unleashing his most powerful Human Emperor Domain, as his opponent simply wasn't qualified. Moreover, Xu Yang was about to initiate a unilateral attack; even activating the Human Emperor Domain wouldn't substantially enhance his offensive power. Xu Yang's most potent single-target offensive profoundness was, without a doubt, the multiplicative stacking of his Eternal Sword Dao, synergized with the Law of Void.

Upon seeing the dazzling battle soul aura appear below, Xu Yang's desire to conquer his opponent surged to its peak, and a proud smile graced his face.

“Since you claim to be the Martial God-level expert with the strongest defense, I will show you what the most formidable destructive power in this world truly means.”

As Xu Yang finished speaking, his entire aura transformed completely. This was something Heavenly Sect's Assassin God, Po Xiao, who was observing from the side, truly understood.

In other words, this was the first time Po Xiao had seen Xu Yang so serious since joining his team.

Soon after, an incomparably dazzling core essence of the Eternal Sword Dao materialized out of thin air behind Xu Yang, its sword gleam exuding a sense of contempt for all beneath the heavens.

Although this sword energy didn't possess the complete form of a specific sword, its outline resembled Xu Yang's profound comprehension of the world's most formidable sword dao—more akin to his very sword heart.

As it slowly shimmered behind him, it drew every observer into a subtle dimension. Even Heavenly Sect's Assassin God Po Xiao, whose cultivation had reached the Dao Conjunction realm, seemed to forget in that instant that their surroundings were, in fact, a life-and-death battleground. Instead, it felt more like witnessing the advent of a legend.

For as Xu Yang unleashed this most tyrannical world-destroying sword, the charisma he exuded undeniably reached its zenith.

Ultimately, Po Xiao originated from the Heavenly Sect's Assassin God lineage. For an assassin, the pursuit of power and ultimate killing ability was almost a primal instinct etched into her very bones. Whenever she witnessed a killing power greater than her own, Po Xiao would instinctively feel excitement.

And now, privileged to witness the most formidable attack she had ever encountered in her life's sword dao, personally unleashed by Xu Yang, the woman seemed to descend into an uncontrollable frenzy.

Her eyes became hazy, and her entire world seemed to shrink to only Xu Yang's outline. A god-like reverence surged from the depths of Po Xiao's heart.

She knew full well that she had fallen irrevocably in love with the man before her. Even if nothing would come of their relationship, her devout admiration and Po Xiao's incredibly genuine love for Xu Yang were beyond doubt.

In the next moment, the sword gleam, like a sword heart, behind Xu Yang vanished completely. When he opened his eyes again, Xu Yang's gaze, like two meteors piercing the vast Milky Way, streaked across the sky and shot into the reaches of the nine heavens.

Concurrently, one rolling thunderbolt after another crashed down from the apex of the nine heavens' clouds. This was precisely Xu Yang's process of layering his Eternal Sword Gleam using the Law of Void.

Until this process concluded, at the zenith of the clouds, surrounded by endless furious lightning, the sword gleam, now amplified twentyfold by the Law of Void, finally revealed its complete form once more.

Only this time, as this sword gleam, now dozens of times more powerful after amplification, reappeared in everyone's sight, all present, including Martial God Zhen Gang, truly felt the sheer terror of its immense power.

“Oh my god, Boss’s strength seems to have grown without me even realizing it. The last time I personally witnessed him unleash this ultimate, all-slaying sword dao, it didn't seem to possess such terrifying power.”

Long Kun was completely stunned, nearly drooling. Even he hadn't anticipated that Xu Yang would become even more exhilarated when personally confronting a Martial God-level expert this time; otherwise, the power unleashed by this amplified sword strike could never have reached such intensity.

As this sword gleam slowly descended, the entire boundless desert and thousands of miles of empty sky seemed to turn upside down due to the arrival of this terrifying sword gleam.

Every living being trembled at this moment, instinctively burying themselves under the endless shifting sands, attempting to forget the power of this descending sword through a futile act of self-deception.

The entire restricted area seemed to lose its true meaning as Xu Yang's sky-breaking sword slowly descended.

For even in such a fearsome restricted area, it became a mere joke when faced with Xu Yang's sky-breaking sword.

When Martial God Zhen Gang saw the incomparably terrifying sword gleam overhead lock onto his very being, despair filled his heart.

Of course, as a Martial God, how could Zhen Gang allow himself to bow to any power from an enemy? In this battle, Martial God Zhen Gang had no other choice.
