Chapter 587: Wind Calamity Four Poles

"Humph, you're dreaming! If we allow audacious outsiders like yourselves to do as you please, what honor would be left for my White Feather Clan?"

Xu Yang seemed to grasp their meaning.

"Oh, so you value your pride more than your own life, do you? I wonder if this elder's words represent the attitude of your entire White Feather Clan."

Xu Yang glanced around, and seeing that no one spoke, he nodded to himself with satisfaction.

"Very well, if that's the case, then you'll be first."

With a sweep of Xu Yang's hand, the formidable Law of Earth instantly altered the very ground. A sharp spike erupted from the ground, propelling the white-haired elder who had just spoken to Xu Yang directly in front of him.

Xu Yang was in no hurry to attack the elder. He simply stared into the elder's eyes from close proximity, denying him any chance to move. The elder's only options were to close his eyes or tremble under Xu Yang's irresistible and powerful gaze.

A faint smile played on Xu Yang's lips, yet his gaze, piercing deep into the White Feather Clan elder's soul, inflicted an unimaginable torment, as if the elder were being slowly carved apart.

"You... what are you doing!"

The elder was already panicking. The entire process had lasted less than five seconds, but he deeply realized that if this continued, his mental energy would be on the verge of collapse.

"Heh, so you know fear now? Weren't you quite defiant just moments ago? I want you to understand that while pride is important, if you make a mistake that even risking your life cannot undo, then worrying about face becomes utterly meaningless."

Xu Yang remained still, but Shi Lingyun and the others beside him immediately noticed that their leader's unleashed mental energy surpassed everyone's imagination. Such astonishing soul power deterrence was likely more than even the three of them combined could withstand.

"No!!"

The White Feather elder began to shriek in agony. Immediately, blood began to flow from all seven orifices of his eyes, until the very essence of his soul rapidly dissolved within his spiritual sea – a phenomenon of mental energy being directly evaporated!

"Good heavens... what kind of power is this? I've never seen anything like it before – merely through sight, he can directly obliterate an opponent's soul essence? This is too terrifying, boss!"

Long Kun instinctively swallowed. Witnessing the elder's fate, he too began to feel a chill of fear.

"The wisest decision I've ever made was not to become an enemy of our boss; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Boom! Without a hint of warning, the gaunt elder before them was utterly annihilated, body and soul, by Xu Yang's horrifying mental pressure. This was because the mental intimidation Xu Yang imposed had surpassed the elder's soul's endurance limit, causing spiritual chaos that led to the complete collapse of his internal energy system. It was as if he had gone mad, his energy wildly surging through his meridians, ultimately leading to his complete destruction.

"No... this guy is truly a devil! How did he do that!!"

Yu Zun had initially intended to rush forward and assert dominance, but that idea was now completely abandoned. He was even starting to ponder how to resolve the immense problem before him.

Indeed, he had already offended Xu Yang, this arrogant king! If he were to bow down and submit now, setting aside whether Xu Yang would even accept it, the White Feather Clan's pride would be utterly shattered. If news of this spread, the White Feather Clan would never be able to maintain its standing among the various clans of the underground palace.

But if they truly continued to stubbornly resist, the fate of the white-haired elder before them would likely be a preview for everyone else.

"Xu Yang, don't take this too far! Even if you are powerful enough, this is ultimately the White Feather Clan's royal palace. The dignity of the Wind Clan is not something you can trifle with!"

"Oh, you almost made me forget. You've constantly emphasized that this is your territory, and even if your strength is lacking, you can rely on the various formations and restrictions hidden here. In that case, then..."

Xu Yang suddenly ceased all movement. With a finger pointed skyward, a sword light rapidly materialized behind him, slowly but surely condensing into an incredibly powerful blade of light before everyone present!

"Right before your eyes, I will forge this sword energy that will descend upon your heads. If anyone believes they possess the power to stop this blade of mine, feel free to step forward and try. Today, I want to see if your White Feather Royal Palace can truly protect you!"

"Act! Stop him at once!"

Queen Yu instantly cried out, no longer daring to hesitate for a moment. She knew very well that if Xu Yang's sword truly struck, the very foundation of the White Feather Clan would likely be utterly destroyed!

"Wind Calamity Four Extremes Array – Activate!"

Rumble!

The four remaining elders on the battlefield simultaneously soared into the air, each taking a position corresponding to heaven, earth, wind, and thunder, clearly unleashing their strongest powers. Four spheres of elemental power intertwined, simultaneously forming a complete four-extremes totem. It locked onto the aura outline of Xu Yang's condensing sword light above, attempting to use the power of this ultimate formation to prevent his sword energy from fully gathering.

"Hahahaha, you fools, you haven't even grasped the true threat of our boss's sword. It has long since broken through the limits of single-layer spatial power. Even if you destroy everything here, you cannot truly stop our boss's sword!"

Long Kun's words were merely meant to give these individuals a clearer understanding before their demise. The 'Universe in a Sleeve' divine ability, in theory, transcends the laws of a single plane. Only a true god could stop it. Among those present, the only person who might possibly halt this sword was one individual: Queen Yu!

"Your Majesty... we four elders will sacrifice ourselves for the Path today. We only ask that you and the Queen escape this place. This Xu Yang is too terrifying; even if the Queen's profound mysteries are used, there's no guarantee of success. Please take care, Your Majesty!"

The four elders simultaneously broke open their veins, and powerful bloodline energy surged into the Four Extremes Formation. The formation's power, now infused with their very life essence, was noticeably several times stronger than before.

"The few of you, step back!"

To ensure the absolute safety of Long Kun and the other two, Xu Yang specifically projected a soul thought to shield their spiritual power, anticipating that Queen Yu, who had remained completely still, might suddenly unleash some strange hidden move.

The aura of the sword light was nearing its limit. Xu Yang's attack inherently disregarded the physical strength of the sword itself; he fully relied on the extra void sword energy layered by the 'Universe in a Sleeve' divine ability. Therefore, no matter how these ants before him unleashed their techniques against the main sword light, Xu Yang remained completely calm, letting them do as they pleased.

"Keep going, everyone! This strike of mine concerns all the dignity and glory of your White Feather Clan, and the very future destiny of your lineage! Ten-second countdown. Judgment will descend!"
