Chapter 407: Reappearing at the Peak

No one could understand how desperately she wanted to be by Xu Yang's side at that very moment, but she truly couldn't.

Upon seeing that Xu Yang's wisp of soul light showed no signs of injury and, in fact, appeared stronger than usual, the Empress's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

"Excellent," he declared, "I knew Xu Yang wouldn't disappoint us. Since that's the case, let's all prepare to enter the teleportation channel. If everything goes smoothly, you'll soon reunite with Xu Yang in the real world."

The God of Asura spoke personally, then, moving ahead of the others, he was the first to control the Asura Divine Sword, using it as a vessel to merge into the sapphire-blue light. As he was, at most, a sword soul at this moment, he didn't need to endure the stronger restraints of the void elements and could travel freely through the passage. After a real-time reconnaissance, Asura immediately sent back a message confirming it was safe.

"My goodness, it's truly unimaginable that we're returning to the real world in such a way!"

"Boss, we'll be reunited soon! You must hold on and bring Wushuang back with you!"

"Fantasy world, farewell!"

Guided by the aura of the Asura Sword, everyone successively entered the sapphire-blue teleportation channel, completely departing the fantasy world. This marked the end of their several months-long, unique and legendary life experience. For every member of Xu Yang's team, this journey not only led to a significant leap in their cultivation, but, more importantly, left an indelible and unique past in their memories.

Meanwhile, Xu Yang and Wushuang were simultaneously engaged in an unprecedented life-or-death battle.

A true dragon, in any parallel world, is an absolute powerhouse. This is the most formidable life form, having proudly stood at the apex of existence since its genesis in ancient times, blessed with the most exceptional innate abilities. The most terrifying aspect of dragons is their lack of discernible weaknesses; survival in their presence is only possible by overpowering them with sheer strength.

*Rumble!*

The dragon's hysteric roar finally began to engulf the heart of the battlefield.

Despite her human primordial spirit power being severely suppressed, Wushuang fought with all her might to resist the dragon's roar. Her efforts yielded negligible results; her only current capability was to ensure Xu Yang remained unaffected by the dragon's immense power. In truth, it was Xu Yang's Desolate Heaven Limitless Divine Artifact, left by Wushuang's side, that bore the brunt of most of the dragon's attacks.

"Little girl, I'm surprised you can withstand my dragon's immense pressure. It seems you possess profound spiritual power. However, it's regrettable that the essence within your body isn't compatible with this space's inherent energy system!"

Wushuang scoffed, "You're not wrong, but I never harbored any illusions of defeating you, esteemed True Dragon. In fact, I still hold a degree of respect for you. My sole mission right now is to wait for A-Yang to recover his peak strength."

Wushuang was undoubtedly shrewd; she clearly understood that defeating the dragon was impossible. Her optimal strategy at this moment was to simply buy time.

*Rumble!*

Increasingly powerful dragon roars continuously erupted, unleashing various elemental forces from its maw. Although Wushuang possessed no potent skills she could employ in this space, she could maximize her movement speed. Furthermore, with the inherent protective abilities of the Desolate Heaven Limitless Divine Artifact, she could, to some extent, withstand the immense pressure from the dragon's roars.

Concurrently, Xu Yang had established a connection with his true form in the outside world, and his peak power was rapidly being restored. The light surrounding him grew increasingly dazzling, and Xu Yang's aura became progressively stronger. Throughout this process, Wushuang was astonished by the peak power Xu Yang wielded, having never imagined his strength could be so immense. Not only was Wushuang surprised, but even the dragon she was currently confronting hadn't anticipated that Xu Yang, a mere human, could cultivate to such an extent.

"No wonder you're willing to sacrifice your life to protect this young man. He truly seems to be a promising individual."

Wushuang suddenly formed a hand seal, and the brilliant angel totem behind her was forcefully summoned, attaching itself to her body. Although her human primordial spirit power was severely suppressed in this space, the angel's inherent enhancement attributes and elemental resistance still provided Wushuang with a certain degree of augmentation.

Just then, a colossal vortex of flames erupted from the dragon's mouth, surging directly towards them!

The pressure on Wushuang was steadily mounting. While she remained unharmed, she distinctly felt that the elemental power contained within the dragon's roar vastly surpassed the maximum amplification her angelic protection could offer. At this rate, Wushuang estimated she would be unable to withstand the assault for more than three more rounds.

The dragon's massive body continuously soared and swirled through the air. Each time its power accumulated, it would open its maw, locking onto Wushuang's aura before unleashing a fiery torrent.

"My heavens, it truly is a genuine dragon! If this power were unleashed on the Three Yuan Continent, I doubt any living being could withstand it!"

To think, the Black Flood Dragon King, merely a flood dragon, was already capable of dominating an entire continent, yet still had an unimaginable gap between itself and a true dragon. Wushuang increasingly felt the insignificance of her human form when confronted by a peak life form like the dragon. However, this was clearly no time for complaints, and Wushuang's opportunities for resistance were dwindling.

"I suggest you give up resistance and leave this man's side, otherwise you'll suffer a far worse fate than him."

Wushuang chuckled, "If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be standing before you now. Enough talk. Even if you are a true dragon, I see no reason to bow to you."

Wushuang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the Angelic Holy Sword, unique to her angelic lineage, slowly materialized in her palm. Even though it was severely suppressed by this unique spatial region, the divine fiery light emanating from the Angelic Holy Sword remained strikingly brilliant.

"Feel the power of an angel!"

With a terrifying, tearing sound, a sword slash descended from the sky. Wushuang, without an ounce of regret, unleashed what was her most powerful offensive. Yet, the outcome left her with a profound sense of helplessness. For when the sword energy she unleashed struck the core of the dragon's roaring elemental vortex, all the sword energy collapsed almost instantly. Not only did it fail to inflict the slightest damage on the dragon itself, but it couldn't even withstand the roaring vortex the dragon unleashed.

"Hahaha, you insignificant human, truly overestimating yourself!"

"Your mission is complete. Bid farewell to this world!"
