Chapter 389: Lingyao Awakens

"Oh no, what's happening over there?"

The Empress's gaze fell upon the coast, where she suddenly noticed something significant!

The piles of corpses seemed to be silently writhing!

Upon noticing this anomaly, Xu Yang instantly transformed into a blur, bringing Wushuang and the Empress with him to the very edge of the beach. He kicked open a few corpses in front of them, and to their shock, they discovered countless Dragon-Human warriors hidden beneath the sand, secretly devouring the numerous bodies on the beach!

"Kill!!"

Xu Yang uttered a single, icy word, prompting Wushuang and the Empress to spring into action.

Facing the assault of these three top-tier powerhouses, countless Dragon-Human warriors rapidly fell. However, an even larger group quickly emerged from beneath the sand, either escaping into the deep sea immediately or continuing to devour the corpses.

It was clear that these Dragon-Human warriors were the most terrifying force in the Endless Sea. They could devour corpses to increase their strength, meaning the Endless Sea never had to worry about depleting its combat power. They possessed an inexhaustible supply of fighting individuals and could repurpose fallen combatants, extracting their final value.

Consequently, as the war dragged on, the Allied Army would face increasing pressure, while the Endless Sea would remain completely unconcerned about this issue.

Xu Yang and the two quickly ceased their actions, understanding that their combined strength alone could never completely eradicate these Dragon-Human warriors. This was not the fundamental solution to the problem.

"If this continues, we'll only become more passive. It seems we must accelerate our combat tempo."

Xu Yang nodded gravely, agreeing with Wushuang's suggestion.

Therefore, Xu Yang made an impromptu decision to shorten their rest period by one day. By noon the next day, all Allied Army warriors had reassembled, ready for battle at any moment.

The booming of war drums reverberated, and upon hearing this earth-shaking sound, the Endless Sea forces seemed to sense something, launching another powerful offensive.

A declaration of war naturally led to a response. It was clear that both the Endless Sea and the combined forces of the Flame Nation and the Divine Nation viewed this confrontation as the ultimate battle to decide the continent's future.

Only this time, Xu Yang and the others finally noticed an astonishing change in the enemy's battle formation.

Just as Xu Yang had anticipated, the enemy's main attacking force this time had switched to Dragon-Human warriors.

After a night of relentless devouring, the overall combat power of the Dragon-Human warriors had increased by more than just one level. Currently, a mere fifty thousand Dragon-Human warriors were more than ten times stronger than the combined combat power of yesterday's one hundred thousand Battle Slaughter Legion.

"My heavens, I can't believe how quickly they evolve! Such a significant increase in combat power just by devouring!"

Wushuang couldn't help but exclaim. Undoubtedly, when they had seen these Dragon-Human warriors last night, they hadn't displayed anywhere near this level of combat power.

In just one night, they had completely refined and absorbed all the energy gained from devouring.

"Boss, leave this battle to me!"

The one who spoke was none other than Ling Yao.

Ling Yao was the most skilled swordsman under Xu Yang, and her sudden appearance now surely meant she had a plan.

"Haha, I saw you clutching your sword all night yesterday. Are you planning to face all these enemies alone?"

Ling Yao looked at Long Kun with confidence and said, "Whether I succeed or not, you'll see in a moment."

"Alright then, I'll go with you."

Xu Yang immediately understood Ling Yao's intention: to use her formidable swordsmanship to unleash a devastating bombardment upon the countless Dragon-Human warriors.

Soon, the two arrived at the summit of Qiangiu Ridge's city wall, stepping into the air and hovering. Powerful sword energy began to awaken.

A truly intense roar of sword energy converged madly from all directions. Behind the two, incredibly brilliant sword-edge power simultaneously condensed.

The outline of a sword quickly emerged, and countless tiny sword energies radiated from the dazzling golden light at its core, simultaneously pressing down towards the beach battlefield below.

As everyone could see, while these warriors from the Endless Sea were individually powerful, they lacked sophisticated combat intelligence. Their reckless advance would only lead to massive casualties for themselves.

In an instant, Xu Yang and Ling Yao combined their strength, and thousands upon thousands of powerful sword lights appeared in the air, continuously piercing the countless Dragon-Human individuals.

"My heavens, is this the suppressive power of top-tier experts? Just two people can halt the advance of an entire Dragon-Human army. It's terrifying!"

"It seems Commander Xu Yang not only possesses immense personal strength, but his comrades are also among the most formidable beings in the world!"

The Allied Army warriors watching were utterly stunned by this scene. Through their celestial eyes, they witnessed every move on the frontline of the battle outside Qiangiu Ridge. The moment countless streaks of light descended from the sky, all the warriors let out hysterical gasps and shouts, gazing at Xu Yang and Ling Yao with reverence as if they were deities.

Meanwhile, Ling Yao gradually rediscovered the powerful sword intent she had comprehended in her true world, for within her body lay the dormant Celestial Sword!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Dragon-Human warriors didn't give up easily. After suffering widespread casualties, they immediately began to unleash their enhanced states. The physical strength of each Dragon-Human individual significantly increased, and their body outlines continuously grew.

Simultaneously, the Celestial Sword within Ling Yao suddenly awakened, letting out a terrifying roar that shook heaven and earth. In that instant, Ling Yao's sealed memories were completely restored, and the might of the Celestial Sword descended once more!

A massive outline of the Celestial Sword slowly surged from within Ling Yao, connecting to a world-shaking aura unique to her that spanned heaven and earth!

The main Celestial Sword, suspended in mid-air, cleaved down with a single strike, carving a trench dozens of meters deep into the beach battlefield. Thousands of Dragon-Human warriors in its path were instantly annihilated!

In a sense, Ling Yao was now employing her formidable power from the true world, so the might she displayed was no less than anyone else present.

And this scale of attack, in the eyes of others, was already akin to that of a deity.

"No, this is terrifying! I can't believe this girl's awakened peak power is so formidable. Boss, I can't wait to see what I'll be like after I awaken!"
