Chapter 398: Soul Power Seal

It must be said that the full support of these two stunning women indeed provided Xu Yang with powerful assistance at a crucial moment.

With the two divine artifacts in hand, Xu Yang's strength surged dramatically. At least he no longer had to passively rely solely on his physical strength, as he had just moments before, to withstand the sharp attacks from the dual dragon bones.

Clang!

The two sides fought intensely back and forth in the sky, while below, the towering waves of the Endless Sea churned even more violently.

As their stamina continued to deplete, the battle gradually entered a white-hot phase.

Boom!

This time, Xu Yang initiated the attack, as an incredibly potent Asura aura quickly condensed behind him.

“Path of the War God! This is a combat technique Boss developed himself within the Asura realm!”

Long Kun rejoiced; seeing the massive Asura totem, he felt a sense of familiarity.

A powerful attacking aura swiftly permeated the entire Cloud Summit battlefield. This aura alone was enough to make the Black Jiao King take notice.

“Heh, it looks quite impressive,” the Black Jiao King sneered. “But it remains to be seen how much power it can actually generate. It might just be a paper tiger, wouldn't you agree?”

Rumble!

The Black Jiao King also unleashed a powerful technique, as a translucent, deep blue Jiao Dragon totem appeared behind him.

Originally, totems were meant to provide significant attribute boosts to the main body, at the sole cost of primal energy. However, for divine-level beings like Xu Yang and the Black Jiao King, totems served more as a materialized medium to fight in place of the main body.

The two massive totems flew towards each other simultaneously. Just by clashing with a surge of fundamental energy in the void, they caused an immense tremor and roar to erupt across the heavens and earth.

The raw power of the totems could exceed ten times that of the main body. Therefore, what seemed like an uncalculated exchange of blows triggered incredibly astonishing energy fluctuations.

“My heavens… this is too powerful, isn't it?” someone exclaimed. “I have a premonition that if these two keep fighting like this, the entire Endless Sea will be engulfed in floods, and at that point, it will be a disaster for the land!”

After a long silence, Chaotianzhu suddenly spoke up: “I think, instead of watching the battle here, we should go behind Qianqiu Ridge and set up some defensive formations to resist the surging waves of the Endless Sea. Otherwise, if the Black Jiao King gets enraged, the entire land will be plunged into catastrophe!”

Everyone nodded and withdrew one by one; only Wushuang and the Empress remained not far in the void, ready to provide support at any moment.

“Kid, show me whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve,” the Black Jiao King taunted. “I've run out of patience for this prolonged fight. Before long, you'll fall completely into this ocean.”

Xu Yang chuckled lightly: “Are you sure you want to witness my true abilities? Then I shall grant your wish.”

The massive War God totem began to burn. Xu Yang was intentionally burning the totem, intending to gather a terrifying, unpredictable force.

“War God's Tribulation!”

With a furious roar, the terrifying War God totem completely disintegrated, its soul transforming into a colossal sword beam, piercing the heavens and earth, and violently pressing down towards the Black Jiao King's head.

Even the mighty Black Jiao King revealed a grave expression for the first time, because he clearly sensed that Xu Yang's sword strike had reached an ultimate power, comparable to Demonic Origin Laws!

“What incredible strength…!” someone marveled. “A-Yang didn't inherit any abilities in this fantasy world, and his original strength was greatly weakened due to spatial law restrictions. Despite this, he can still unleash supreme power comparable to laws. He truly is astonishingly brilliant!”

The Empress was different from Wushuang. A large part of her feelings for Xu Yang stemmed from admiration and reverence, while Wushuang dedicated her purest love to him.

If one were to compare the differences in the two goddesses' feelings for Xu Yang, the Empress was more like a virtuous wife, respectful and considerate, gentle and thoughtful. Wushuang, on the other hand, was like the passionate outpouring of first love—pure and fervent.

Rumble!

The colossal sword might, formed from the totem's soul, struck the Black Jiao King's chest squarely. This time, it not only directly pierced his protective barrier, but the sword beam also directly impaled his shoulder, blasting him over a thousand meters away.

The moment the sword beam shattered, it unleashed a secondary attack effect, igniting a terrifying, suffocating power.

The Black Jiao King's true form appeared somewhat battered. Most of his upper body had been pulverized, and his aura seemed uneven.

“Heheheh…”

The Black Jiao King, hunching his body, returned to his original position, hovering in the air. His body seemed to suddenly switch into a defensive mode; his shattered flesh was repairing itself at an astonishing speed, with every shred of flesh visibly mending and regenerating.

Wushuang and the Empress exchanged shocked glances. Before, they had only heard rumors about the varying strengths of the Beast Origin lineage's power. But now, witnessing this terrifying sight firsthand, they couldn't help but gasp.

“This must be the most severe injury I've sustained in a million years,” the Black Jiao King admitted, “and I never imagined that it would be a human like you who inflicted such pressure upon me.”

Xu Yang sneered: “There's a lot more you can't imagine. Cultivation relies on one's state of mind. No matter how powerful the body, it ultimately has limits, but a person's state of mind and soul have no limits. In this regard, Ji Ye is far superior to you, his father. Your current state of mind is even inferior to your child's. At least compared to you, Ji Ye is truly worthy of respect.”

The Black Jiao King scoffed: “That unfilial son? I don't consider him my child. This is a confrontation between you and me now. I will make you understand the consequences of enraging me.”

Rumble!

The Black Jiao King's true form was perfectly restored, and the beast origin aura he emitted was considerably stronger than before.

“Jiao Dragon Bind!”

Suddenly, two powerful black auras, like dragon souls, flew out. They coiled and intertwined menacingly, pressing down towards Xu Yang's location.

“This is… a mobile domain suppression effect!”

The Empress was greatly alarmed! Infusing these two dragon souls with domain power—such a technique had, in fact, surpassed the understanding of Xu Yang and the others.

After all, domain power had always been condensed around the main body. This was the first time they had seen someone able to transform a domain into a mobile form.

The domain applied to these two Jiao Dragon souls possessed only one attribute boost: gravity!

The powerful gravitational restraint caused Xu Yang to rapidly lose his ability to stay airborne, and he plummeted downwards.

Compared to him, the two Jiao Dragon souls moved much more freely. With a few swift flashes, they caught up to Xu Yang's plummeting, unbalanced body, and completely coiled around his main form.

“Hahahaha!” the Black Jiao King roared. “No matter how much you struggle, an ant is still just an ant. What do you have to resist me with?”
