Chapter 465: 法相震千魂

“Asura Path—Annihilation!”

With a single sword strike, the world trembled. Though not Xu Yang's current limit, it was the most powerful force he could unleash at that moment. As the sword swept out, Xu Yang's remaining physical strength was instantly depleted. Had it not been for the blessings of multiple inheritances, including the Nine-Colored Qiankun Bell, he would have lost even the ability to fly.

The earth-shattering sword strike erupted, and its radiant light once again plunged the entire Northern Frontier into extreme panic and tremor. The power of this single strike was no less than the imposing might unleashed by the three dragon souls roaring in the sky.

“Haha, that’s quite impressive, but…”

Boom!

Dragon Elder Five's accumulated power of judgment finally descended. The dragon’s breath he exhaled was distinctly different from the aura emanating from the other three dragon souls.

At the core of the solidified energy body, an irresistible and powerful devouring force emanated, like a moving black hole. Wherever it passed, all flora and fauna on the battlefield below withered and decayed, disintegrating into desolate dust. As this power completely enveloped Xu Yang, an immensely strong devouring force swiftly infiltrated his body.

“Hold on, kid!”

The Nine-Colored Qiankun Bell erupted with a world-shaking chime, its sound waves spreading in all directions, having truly adjusted its state to the limit. Although Xu Yang was in a weakened state, the immense power of his soul realm unleashed a fierce instinct to resist.

“What?! This kid’s soul is incredibly formidable! Is it just because his soul has color?” The White Dragon watched from below, utterly shocked. In her perception, Xu Yang's mastery of the soul realm surpassed even the white-robed genius who had astonished the entire continent years ago.

“No. Soul color only determines attributes and inheritances; to put it simply, it sets the potential ceiling. However, soul realm and strength are the results of acquired cultivation. This kid’s talent is indeed stronger than that white-robed fellow from back then. No matter what, he must die today, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.” The Black Dragon spoke coldly. To make several dragon souls so wary by himself, Xu Yang had certainly broken new ground.

At the same time, an boundless blue-black aura around him continuously compressed, fiercely invading and attacking Xu Yang's physical body and soul. As the two forces violently clashed, Xu Yang instinctively began to activate the Taiji Totem Law he had created.

Emulating heaven and earth, following the cycle of creation and destruction, all principles between heaven and earth seemed to stem from this furnace of yin and yang interaction. Xu Yang's mind suddenly entered a state of profound tranquility, an extremely ethereal awareness. At that moment, he forgot everything around him; only heaven and earth, black and white, remained.

Immediately afterward, these endless negative emotions were drawn into the black area beneath his feet. The white area above his head, like a skylight, continuously poured in an endless stream of life essence to assimilate the corresponding negative forces.

Imperceptibly, the entire process seemed to last for a very long time in Xu Yang's mind, until the massive Taiji Totem completely closed, eventually shrinking to palm-size and merging into his spiritual sea.

However, even Xu Yang didn't expect that this seemingly insignificant change would turn the entire battle he was facing upside down!

The unique corrupting power of the Underworld, the "Source of All Evil" full of violent aura, silently surged into Xu Yang's spiritual sea.

Don't forget, there lay tens of thousands of stone soldier figures Xu Yang had awakened from the ancient desolate dynasty's underground palace, now slumbering!

Originally, Xu Yang had no intention of disturbing these stone soldier figures, who were supposed to remain in slumber, due to external circumstances. However, this time, the vast corrupting aura, which perfectly matched the corrupting aura on the soldier figures themselves, inadvertently awakened them from their slumber.

In fact, there was a long-standing theory on the continent that the souls of the deceased would transform into another type of elemental aura, opposing divine energy, through specific methods. These transformed souls would then be collectively drawn into the Underworld for a special regeneration and conversion, giving rise to the so-called "cycle of reincarnation" theory.

However, no one on the continent has yet been able to prove this theory.

Yet, at this moment, the feedback from the soldier figures seemed to subtly corroborate certain deductions.

“Master... do you need us to do anything for you?” The slumbering soldier figures voiced this question, their voices echoing continuously within Xu Yang's mind.

At the same time, Xu Yang also regained consciousness from this unique ethereal state due to the soul feedback from these beings.

However, the first sight Xu Yang beheld upon regaining consciousness was the shock and confusion emanating from the several dragon souls before him.

“How is that possible...”

“This kid, he actually...”

“He's completely immune to Elder Five's Source of Corruption!!”

Xu Yang himself had just realized that the influence of all negative emotions had completely vanished. Furthermore, the impact of the solidified power from the recent attack on his physical body had been entirely negated by the formidable defenses of the Boundless Desolate Heaven Divine Artifact and the Nine-Colored Qiankun Bell.

“Damn it, you truly are an uncrushable cockroach, kid! I'm genuinely curious how you managed to withstand my corrupting power. Your soul wasn't tainted in the slightest; that's truly unbelievable.”

Xu Yang chuckled, “The world is vast. Remember, even if you are truly strong, never maintain an absolute sense of superiority over anyone. If you do, you'll become utterly pathetic on the day you are truly defeated.”

Dragon Elder Five burst into boisterous laughter. “Compared to your words, what I find even harder to believe is that these words are coming from a dying man. You've given me too many surprises. Kid, it's all about to end!”

Roar!!

Dragon Elder Five suddenly let out a fierce dragon's roar, but this was not his ultimate destructive technique; it was merely the beginning.

Destruction-grade pressure began to violently and wildly vibrate around him. The entire world became tyrannical to the point of being almost out of control due to his presence!

In the next moment, this emotion quickly enveloped the entire Northern Frontier. Too many of the Northern Frontier's inhabitants lost their minds due to this aura and began fighting wildly among themselves.

Doomsday had arrived, and the world was plunged into extreme madness. Even the sky, at this moment, turned a violent and despairing blood-red.

In an instant, a dragon soul energy, glowing red, was unleashed. It appeared to be a true blood-colored dragon soul, though significantly smaller than the four genuine giant dragon souls.

The blood-red dragon light rapidly approached Xu Yang's position. The aura fluctuations it generated made Xu Yang instinctively wonder if he was immersed in a nightmare of apocalyptic collapse.

However, the intense pressure on his body constantly reminded him that this was not a dream, but the true arrival of the apocalypse!

“Blood Dragon Soul Devourer, the power that can truly destroy all life, remains utterly unstoppable...”
