Xu Yang couldn't think of more possibilities. After all, this was a fantasy world, and to exert his strength within this space, he had to respect the unique rules of its system.
The power of the Three Essences united was the ultimate force, closest to the core laws of the fantasy world. Therefore, forging the sword soul with this power as its foundation was undoubtedly the best achievable option at the moment.
"Thank you, Ji Ye!" Xu Yang transmitted his gratitude through the power of his Heavenly Eye, and simultaneously, he began to fully concentrate on condensing the sword soul. He used his mastery of swordsmanship to weave and guide this power.
Gripping the Asura Sword with both hands, the Asura power condensed from Empress's soul essence on the left provided powerful fundamental support. On the right, Wushuang's soul essence, forming an angelic totem, offered the perfect nourishment and sublimation for the sword that had been dormant for too long.
The last surge of beast essence from Ji Ye, however, was more like an overbearing pressure filled with a defiant aura, awakening the sword's ancient, unmatched sharpness!
"Awaken, Asura's Edge!" Xu Yang roared, raising the sword with both hands towards the sky. Under the incredibly dominant hum of the sword's power, the Three Essences perfectly merged, transforming into a brilliant beam of light that shot upwards, piercing the endless mist of the dome. It seemed to establish a connection with the core Three Essences laws of the entire continent.
As the immense power gradually subsided, Xu Yang took hold of the sword once more and was surprised to find that he could now feel an unprecedented, lifelike pulsation emanating from it!
A hidden dark-gold stream of light, embedded within the sword's edge, flashed past...
"Tuoba Yun, your doom has arrived."
The next moment, Xu Yang's Heavenly Eye disappeared, and all the phantoms suspended in the void simultaneously transformed into shattered specks of light, surging into the Asura Sword held by Xu Yang's physical body.
Taking a single step, as if distorting space itself, Xu Yang's speed reached a level unfathomable to ordinary people.
"What?! How is this possible?" Tuoba Yun froze on the spot, utterly stunned. He hadn't even prepared himself for any of this when Xu Yang's physical body appeared three feet in front of him.
A single sword thrust pierced the soul body in front of him. The sword's edge itself emanated a powerful force capable of dissolving souls—the ultimate conquering power evolved from the Way of the Three Essences Unified.
This time, there was no possibility of any unexpected turn of events. The only fate awaiting Tuoba Yun was death.
"No, I refuse to accept this!" Tuoba Yun was truly unwilling. Since his arrogant entry into the Burial Mound of Cultivators, he had been full of confidence, pursuing the grand dream of dominating all Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Yet, in the end, what he gained was the ruination of Northern Jin's ten-thousand-year foundation.
Undoubtedly, even if Xu Yang's team hadn't intervened, it wouldn't have been long after their departure from the Burial Mound of Cultivators before the Northern Jin lineage would have been completely absorbed by other forces within the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. The glory of the Northern Jin lineage was ultimately squandered by the Tuoba brothers.
"Born to greatness, fallen to ruin, indeed! I never imagined my Northern Jin would meet its end in its most glorious era. I am unwilling!" These were Tuoba Yun's final words to the world. As his soul body completely dispersed into the void, Fabby's puppet undead spirit also vanished, leaving only the solitary scepter falling to the ground.
What Xu Yang and the others didn't expect, however, was that a faint green soul light suddenly flickered within Fabby's scepter. Upon closer inspection, it was the soul source of Martial God Official Tyron, breaking free from its confinement and flying out of the scepter once more.
"Your Royal Highness!!" Tyron's liberated soul immediately knelt in the void before Wushuang and kowtowed several times. In fact, ever since Fabby was schemed against by Tuoba Yun, Tyron had been able to perceive most of what was happening outside.
"Your humble servant was useless, tricked by Fabby, and unable to come to your aid. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
Wushuang smiled and waved her hand gently. The wave of divine power, far stronger than before, completely astonished the Martial God Official.
"Even with the court in disarray, I am deeply comforted to have a Martial God Official capable of overseeing the situation. From now on, you will act as regent of the Divine Kingdom, overseeing all affairs of state. I give you one week to manage everything after this chaos. After one week, you will personally lead 200,000 Divine Kingdom troops to the border of the Endless Sea, rendezvous with the Flame Kingdom's allied forces, and together, attack the Endless Sea."
"Your humble general obeys the command!!"
The commotion, however, had subjected the once solemn and sacred capital of the Divine Kingdom to a calamity.
Fortunately, after Wushuang achieved the Human Essence limit, she used her angelic power to release a portion of the vast power of faith within her, dispelling the negative states of most Divine Kingdom citizens in the capital who had been affected by the Rashomon.
Although many buildings here could not be repaired in the short term, at least the foundation of the kingdom was preserved, and the continent's stability remained intact. This, in itself, was the greatest gain.
"Ah Yang, the matters here are settled. Sister Xue and I now have enough ability to assist you. It's time to jointly attack the Endless Sea!"
"Exactly, younger sister Wushuang is right. Besides the two of us, you no longer need any other help. We can see that your Asura Sword, imbued with the Three Essences, has truly become a supreme divine artifact comparable to the laws of the Heavenly Dao. With such a sharp blade assisting you, dealing with the Black Flood Dragon King should be no problem at all."
Xu Yang nodded gravely. "No matter how confident we are, the allied forces' attack can no longer be delayed. Compared to the Endless Sea, our two kingdoms' actual combat foundation is still far weaker. At least on paper, this is a losing battle. But even so, as long as we optimize our resources, we still have a fighting chance!"
The three exchanged glances, finally completely resolving the knots in their hearts. What pleased Xu Yang most was that the two girls had fully reconciled their past differences. Having reached the pinnacle of this fantasy world, they both clearly understood that Xu Yang was the true master of the entire continent, the only one who could change its fate of destruction. Only by assisting him wholeheartedly could they avert this catastrophe.
"Alright, let's go!"
The battlefield originally chosen by the Flame Kingdom had been preemptively occupied by the Flood Dragon people of the Endless Sea. Consequently, the Flame Kingdom's allied forces had to temporarily change their strategy and choose their foothold at the final gateway from the Endless Sea into the territories of the Flame and Divine Kingdoms: Thousand Autumn Ridge!
Named Thousand Autumns, it naturally commanded a position of extreme importance. Thousand Autumn Ridge was truly the gateway between the two kingdoms, because beyond this pass lay a border defense line stretching for ten thousand miles. To defend such a vast frontier would be nearly impossible.
Therefore, for the Endless Sea, if they could breach this pass, the battle to unify the continent would be half won.
"Teacher!"
"Boss!!"
Xu Yang returned victoriously with the two girls. Inside the camp, the Third Prince and other team members all came out to greet them.
"Ahaha, just by looking at you, I can tell that the problems in the Divine Kingdom have all been resolved!"
