Chapter 1869: Wu God Level Nascent Soul

The combat environment was instantly and forcibly altered by the influence of this individual's martial arts domain. However, as the waves continuously surged, Long Kun and Po Xiao, who were fighting in two adjacent areas, immediately showed signs of relief on their faces.

"Hahaha, this Martial God-level believer is truly a naive hothead! He dares to wield water-attribute power right in front of our boss, Xu Yang. I reckon he'll be utterly shocked by his own actions very soon."

No sooner had Long Kun spoken than Xu Yang made his move. He was, after all, the quintessential embodiment of water power, the sole true legitimate inheritor of the Sea God Domain from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Facing the endless waves relentlessly surging towards him, Xu Yang simply gave a gentle wave of his hand, maintaining a calm and composed smile. Instantly, countless water currents in the vicinity, forcefully guided by Xu Yang's mental power, broke free from the Martial God's domain.

"What?! How can this man render my Martial God domain completely useless? I've been traversing the ancient path of the Martial Gods for so long, yet I've never encountered anyone who could interfere with another's Martial God-level domain. Who exactly is this man?"

Plunged into confusion, the immersed believer was still grappling with the situation when Xu Yang re-materialized an enormous water dragon totem and brought it crashing down directly onto the believer's location.

"Hahaha! What do you think now? Are you stunned? Calling you a frog in a well would be a compliment. You have no idea what kind of person our boss, Xu Yang, truly is. Don't assume that just because you possess Martial God-level glory on this battlefield, you can do as you please. In my boss's eyes, you're utterly insignificant."

Long Kun, seemingly greatly encouraged by the developments on the main battlefield, immediately activated his powerful Phoenix Domain. From the main battlefield, Xu Yang's power formed a stark contrast of two extreme colors, but unbeknownst to others, Long Kun had his own ulterior motives. He deliberately used this method to showcase his destructive power, aiming to rival his boss.

Around him, the chosen silver-robed disciples, upon sensing the immense fiery power Long Kun unleashed, were all forced to retreat dozens of meters, as the scorching effect of this power was too potent. Their physical resilience was insufficient to withstand the might of the Phoenix True Fire.

At this point, Long Kun was on the verge of a rampage. A sudden thought struck him: what unique reaction would occur if his Phoenix True Fire power clashed with Xu Yang's Sea God Domain? Propelled by this idea, Long Kun forcefully directed the flame power from his palm towards the surrounding silver-robed disciples.

Under the oppressive force of Long Kun's power, those ancient disciples were momentarily thrown into disarray, unsure how to counter the fiery might. Instinctively, they all rushed towards the nearby main battlefield, hoping that the immense, surging water elemental energy there would serve as a source of survival to suppress the flames.

However, they had no idea that once Xu Yang's Sea God Domain fully asserted itself, Long Kun's Phoenix True Fire, even at its strongest, would be utterly incapable of resisting it. Although these two elements maintain an extremely opposing state, their potency is entirely dependent on the individual wielding them. In terms of raw power and cultivation level, Long Kun was simply worlds apart from Xu Yang.

Thus, as the earth-shattering waves surged downwards, the silver-robed disciples, who had been pursued by Long Kun's fiery power, instantly plunged into a fresh wave of despair. Before they could even utter desperate screams or cries, their bodies were completely engulfed by the overwhelming water.

"No!!"

More than a dozen powerful silver-robed ancient disciples were thus utterly annihilated by Xu Yang's overwhelming waves, all submerged in the swirling vortex of the surging water dragon's power.

Witnessing the hundreds-of-feet-tall water dragon controlled by Xu Yang bearing down on them, all the robed battle puppets were consumed by despair, scattering in all directions and utterly losing the will to continue fighting.

However, Xu Yang had already prepared. Before launching this wave of attack, he had subtly woven exclusive laws to seal the entire battlefield space. Beyond the thousands of meters of this jungle battlefield, invisible laws had completely sealed the area. Regardless of their power, no one could break free from this battlefield cage, woven by Xu Yang, as long as they were unable to shatter the very fabric of his imposed laws.

"Cease your struggles. The fate of your kind was sealed the moment you appeared before me. Rest here, forevermore."

Xu Yang's voice, brimming with arrogance, resonated like that of a god dictating the fates of all beings. As his figure ascended towards the void, his commanding presence permeated the surroundings. Following this, an infinite deluge of sword light manifested in every corner of the battlefield, now sealed by the power of his laws.

Guided by Xu Yang's mental power, an increasing number of silver-robed ancient disciples were swiftly targeted and fell on the battlefield, continuously pierced by the overwhelmingly powerful sword energy.

Finally, only the golden-robed Martial God-level believer remained, still retaining his unique combat prowess. Although somewhat wounded, he at least possessed the ability to continue resisting.

Wiping blood from the corner of his mouth and observing his disciples fall one by one around him, the believer's gaze upon Xu Yang transformed entirely, now tinged with a profound sense of awe. Yet, this level of intensity was not enough to push a Martial God-level believer like himself into despair.

"I must concede, you are an unimaginably formidable opponent. However, since I have accepted this command, only one of you—either you or this emperor standing beside you—will leave here alive today. Otherwise, the sacrifice of my life would be meaningless."

The Martial God-level believer had barely finished speaking when he was met with Xu Yang's cold, mocking smile.

"Your existence, to begin with, is meaningless. In fact, I'm quite intrigued by battle puppets like yourself, controlled by hidden powers. Perhaps the true secret lies within the very essence of your life force. I am currently contemplating the best method to subdue you and then refine your life force into the purest elemental core. If a Martial God-level elemental core were to be consumed by my companion, it should undoubtedly help him elevate his cultivation realm once more."

As Xu Yang spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Po Xiao. The young woman clearly felt his intense gaze but lacked the courage to meet his eyes.
