Chapter 386: Eight Directions Gather Dragon Qi

Long Kun, feigning a clever expression, teased everyone.

"Does that even need saying? But this time, I'm not the one who will turn the tide. They are the real powerhouses."

"What?!"

"Uh, I mean, they are the ones who will turn the tide."

Long Kun quickly and sheepishly averted his gaze from the two goddesses beside Xu Yang, swallowing hard. He realized he had almost been frozen by their icy glares!

The other women simply giggled to themselves, well aware that Long Kun's greatest pleasure was stirring up trouble.

A brief explanation of the current situation, along with the news that allied forces would gather in the Divine Kingdom in three days, truly allowed the Third Prince to breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone understood that in a few days, the ultimate battle for the fantasy world would begin.

On another note, Xu Yang was pleasantly surprised that Ling Qingshu had already signaled the elders of Cloud Hill Ridge. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a group of powerful individuals inheriting the power of the Ember should arrive to provide support, adding another boost to the allied forces.

At this moment, anything else was futile. Only by defeating the Black Dragon King and the Endless Sea faction would other discussions hold any meaning; otherwise, the entire continent would be unsustainable, and all other talk would simply be empty words.

A day earlier than anticipated, after Martial God Official Tyrone had narrowly escaped death, it seemed his last shred of selfishness had vanished. He now wholeheartedly served the Divine Kingdom and Wushuang. Not only did he complete his mission a day early and lead the Divine Kingdom's local allied forces to Thousand Autumn Ridge, but he also brought an additional thirty thousand of his own elite soldiers to the front lines.

Witnessing this, Wushuang felt a deep sense of solace. With a formidable enemy at hand, the Martial God Official's unwavering resolve greatly boosted the morale of the entire army.

The two armies allied, with a total of three hundred thousand troops spreading across the vast plains of Thousand Autumn Ridge, ready for inspection by the supreme representatives of the Third Prince and Wushuang's kingdom.

It is worth noting that during the address, Xu Yang and the Third Prince voluntarily relinquished their opportunity to speak. Instead, they jointly nominated Xu Yang as the sole supreme commander of the allied armies of both nations. Everyone else, regardless of rank, was to unconditionally obey any command issued by Xu Yang.

This was the sole demand the supreme representatives of both nations made to their soldiers.

A mighty rumble echoed!

Shortly after the oath-taking and inspection ceremony concluded, and before the newly assembled allied forces had even returned to their camps, the outskirts of Thousand Autumn Ridge were suddenly shaken by an astonishing spectacle of crashing waves and flying rocks.

Countless waves crashed onto the coastline not far from Thousand Autumn Ridge, and a fierce roar from the Endless Sea surged forth.

"Reporting, Grand Commander, there's unusual activity in the Endless Sea. Although no enemy forces have landed yet, the waves around the coastline are extremely violent, far more powerful than usual. It seems there's a constant danger of them surging ashore and attacking our city walls!"

Xu Yang sneered, "They're attempting to use the power of the sea to exert pressure, undermine our morale, and simultaneously impact our defenses. Tell the allied soldiers not to worry. Tonight, I will ensure they all get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow at dawn, be ready for battle!"

"Understood!"

Soon, Xu Yang's order reached the ears of the three hundred thousand allied troops. Although they were greatly alarmed by the towering waves, which resembled an earthquake, and constantly feared an enemy surge, Xu Yang's words served as a great reassurance for the soldiers.

That night, Xu Yang summoned everyone else out of the main tent. He had triangular localized formation centers established at various points within a hundred-mile radius of the Thousand Autumn Ridge plains.

He then instructed the Empress and Wushuang to personally oversee two of the base points, maintaining contact through soul resonance.

"Next, I will use the power of the Divine Eye to guide you two in jointly completing the Eight Desolations Roaming Dragon Formation. I created this formation during my secluded cultivation; it harnesses the energy of all things in heaven and earth to condense the might of a true dragon, which will block the pressure from the ocean waves. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

"Ready to start anytime!"

After receiving positive confirmations from both the Empress and Wushuang, Xu Yang began his next steps.

The might of the Divine Eye was powerfully displayed. Countless life energies from all directions converged towards Thousand Autumn Ridge, naturally including a trace of primal energy from some of the beings in the Flame Kingdom and the Divine Kingdom.

Because the Divine Eye could encompass the entire continent, the number of participants in this energy gathering was vast. The more individuals involved, the more infinitesimally small the impact on each individual became. They didn't even perceive any changes in their physical state as this energy gathering process was completed.

"Begin!"

Xu Yang used the Divine Eye to condense the soul of a roaming dragon. An incredibly exquisite true dragon soul-light totem manifested out of thin air. Wushuang and the Empress, in turn, were responsible for orderly filtering and transmitting their two respective elemental energies to Xu Yang, allowing the true dragon totem, materialized from soul power, to perfectly take shape.

Half an hour later, above Thousand Autumn Ridge, two lifelike roaming dragons, one black and one golden, powerfully rose, successively emitting earth-shattering dragon roars that astonished the world.

Within the special array patterns woven by Xu Yang, the twin dragon souls circled and moved, forming a sealed, stable dragon energy shield that completely protected the battlefield border where the hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed.

Protected by this Twin Dragon Guardian Formation, no matter how powerful the external raging waves became, they did not affect the soldiers resting within the formation in the slightest. They couldn't even hear the sound of the waves.

"Oh my! There were rumors before that Grand Commander Xu Yang was a god descended from a higher world. I didn't believe it then, but now, it seems this might truly be the case!"

"Indeed, how could a mortal possess such heaven-defying abilities? More importantly, dragons have always only appeared in legends, yet Elder Xu Yang can actually manifest a true dragon soul. I must revere him!"

"Sigh... haven't you noticed? Around Elder Xu Yang are all the top-tier beauties of this world, each a peak expert. With such a group of dominant figures personally leading, I believe we will certainly achieve glorious success in this battle against the Endless Sea!"

A night of peaceful sleep.

The warriors seemed to have experienced an unprecedentedly peaceful and comfortable night, undisturbed by any forces. It was as if the pressure in their hearts before the great battle had been fully released.

Ten full hours of sleep allowed the combat power of the hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers to reach its absolute peak. When they assembled the next morning, everyone was radiant and brimming with fighting spirit!

"Kill! Kill!"

Observing the allied soldiers, ready for battle, Xu Yang and the core leaders at the top of the city wall finally felt completely at ease.
