Chapter 372: Dangerous Test

"No, these two are incredibly powerful! All troops, retreat!"

In the opposing camp, the once-arrogant general, who had reveled in his petty authority, was instantly paralyzed with fear. The sheer rampage of these two-colored dragon energies was far more than his mortal soldiers could possibly withstand.

In fact, with power like Xu Yang's and Wushuang's, if they so wished, this massive army of tens of thousands could be annihilated in mere minutes.

"You common folk, do not listen to the commands of treacherous individuals; depart at once! This is within the territory of the Flame Kingdom. Internal battles are forbidden, or else the Third Prince's divine wrath will obliterate you all, leaving none behind."

Xu Yang's voice swept across the sky like a royal edict, causing the tens of thousands of Flame Kingdom warriors to instantly lose their desire to fight. Fleeing was now the only thing they wanted to do.

"Run!!"

Hysterical shouts burst forth, and as the saying goes, a routed army is like a collapsing mountain. The Flame Kingdom's internal army, once a disciplined formation, instantly became a scattered mess.

The general, who had never been popular among his troops, was now in an even worse position. With Xu Yang's single roar, the soldiers' morale completely collapsed. Not only would they not continue to fight, but they would also feel immense pressure just standing in front of Xu Yang.

Subduing the enemy without battle! This was Xu Yang's unparalleled personal influence.

"Retreat!!" Seeing the general quickly reduced to a commander with no troops, he helplessly shouted to himself for morale like a stunned fly, then quickly turned his horse and retreated.

Xu Yang and Wushuang landed steadily, positioning themselves in front of the Third Prince's defending army. Like two true deities, they were met with loud cheers from all the warriors.

The Third Prince even personally dismounted and came before Xu Yang.

"Boss, thankfully you arrived at this crucial moment. Otherwise, we might have suffered a great loss in this battle."

Seeing the Third Prince's solemn expression, Xu Yang nodded lightly: "I understand what you mean. The soldiers are not the main concern, but those merfolk in the ranks are difficult to deal with. They can grow stronger by devouring the soldiers' flesh and corpses. Let's return to the camp first and discuss this!"

Inside the military tent, Xu Yang was undoubtedly seated in the main position. The Third Prince sat next to Xu Yang, while the others were seated on either side. Aside from two or three of the Third Prince's confidantes, the remaining dozen or so individuals were all members of Xu Yang's team.

"I can't believe such a thing is happening! It's truly shocking to hear!"

After listening to Xu Yang recount his and Wushuang's journey, everyone displayed expressions of incredible shock. Long Kun, in particular, kept stroking his chin, lost in thought.

"Boss, I'm increasingly convinced that your so-called fantasy world theory is true! The Three Elemental Laws are the sole foundation supporting our entire world. If, as you say, the Black Flood Dragon King reaches the absolute peak, then our world might truly plunge into eternal darkness."

Xu Yang shook his head: "No, it won't happen. With us here, the Black Flood Dragon King's conspiracy will never succeed. Although I'm determined to break free from this fantasy world, I've never intended to destroy it. At least until I find my way back, this world must remain intact."

Ling Qingshu furrowed her brow and asked: "What should we do next? The Black Rose now wields power in the Flame Kingdom, and we are in a very passive position!"

Xu Yang fell into thought: "No rush. This place is actually safer than the capital. Next, I'll go to the Endless Sea to test just how powerful that individual is. As for the main battlefield, I believe they won't dare to act rashly for a while. Use this time to diligently cultivate and strive to further enhance your strength. In the coming period, the entire continent will not be peaceful."

"Understood!"

***

A storm is brewing!

As the Black Rose completely seized power in the Flame Kingdom, the entire court, both inside and out, experienced a period of turmoil, creating a situation where those who follow her will prosper, and those who defy her will perish.

However, as Xu Yang said, the royal family's situation, no matter how chaotic, could only be this way. Although the Black Rose was rampant for a time, it was still better than the entire Flame Kingdom being torn apart by leaderless chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportune moment, Xu Yang and Wushuang set out once again.

However, this time, as the two embarked on their journey, Wushuang, as the Eldest Princess of the Divine Kingdom, received a telepathic secret order—the highest-level red order from her Imperial Guard!

"A-Yang... I don't think I can accompany you to the Endless Sea anymore."

She simultaneously transmitted the order she received into Xu Yang's soul-sea, causing him to instantly fall into deep thought.

"I can't believe someone would simultaneously target the Divine Kingdom's royal family!"

The secret order stated that the Divine Chancellor Fabius had usurped the throne, imprisoning the old king's lineage. Furthermore, Marshal Tyrone's whereabouts were unknown, as he had been severely wounded by a mysterious group of black-robed figures. His profligate grandson, Tyrone, and others had all been eliminated, effectively overthrowing the entire Martial God Official lineage.

Fortunately, Long Kun's ducal family was astute. After sensing the danger and realizing they were no match, they preserved some royal bloodlines by withdrawing from the Divine Kingdom's capital early, preventing the royal family from being completely overthrown.

"Although I am not blood-related to the old king, he has done much for me over the years. Now that the Divine Kingdom is in turmoil, I must return to oversee the situation. More importantly, to stop this conspiracy, your companion's demonic energy alone is not enough. As a totem of faith power, you should know very well that I am the closest to the Human Elemental Limit. On this return, I also need to further strengthen my faith power. Only when both the Empress and I reach the realm of elemental power limits can we help you decide the outcome against the Black Flood Dragon King of the Endless Sea!"

It must be said that Wushuang's decision was undoubtedly the most correct course of action at present. This temporary separation between the two seemed unavoidable.

"I..."

Xu Yang seemed about to say that he was willing to accompany her back to the Divine Capital to first deal with her affairs, but Wushuang smiled, shook her head, and gently raised her hand to his lips, stopping him from speaking.

"I know what you're going to say, and I understand your intentions, but right now, finding the Son of the Calamity King, the former king of the Flame Kingdom, is the top priority. Only by finding him can demonic energy approach its absolute peak. My faith power, in the Divine Kingdom, doesn't require this kind of bloodline inheritance; I alone can gather near-limit Human Elemental Power. Therefore, your focus must be on the Flame Kingdom!"

Xu Yang was at a loss for words. The two issues that had caused him difficulty had both been easily resolved by Wushuang.

This woman was always like this: capable of standing by his side and reigning over the world with him!

"You only need to remember that I've grown accustomed to your presence. If, one day, this world separates us, I will create another world where you exist."
