Chapter 602: Direct Lineage Arrives

"No, I absolutely cannot die on this battlefield. As one of the kings of the vassal group, how could I so easily choose to surrender?"

Gritting his teeth, the Bone King let out a deafening roar, intending to launch a powerful new wave of counterattack against Xu Yang and his companions. However, he never imagined that the moment his counterattacking aura was unleashed, an ice-blue figure swiftly appeared from the distant sky. Without a word, this person directly unleashed a powerful ice crystal seal towards the Bone King's location.

In just an instant, the Bone King's massive body was completely sealed by this ice-attribute power, rendering him unable to struggle even slightly.

"Heh heh, you good-for-nothing. I've long intended to obliterate and devour you. Your bloodline and domain power within your bone body can perfectly compensate for my shortcomings in defensive attributes. How fortunate! You've created this opportunity for me yourself. How could I not cherish it? Once I eliminate you and pin the blame on these humans, Father will never fault me."

The newcomer was handsome and refined, clad in a sky-blue robe, his hair shimmering with a translucent glow. It was clear he was a top-tier expert deeply proficient in water elemental power, possessing both demonic and angelic auras.

"Everyone, be careful! This young man should be a direct descendant from the Spirit Valley of Evil!" Xu Yang quickly warned. The other party, seemingly quite familiar, approached Xu Yang and his companions calmly, a faint, enigmatic smile on his face.

Notably, this graceful young man was holding an ancient tome resembling a codex.

"I know you. All of you are renowned human powerhouses on the continent. I'm just not sure what your purpose is in coming to this place. My father does not like dealing with people like you."

Xu Yang sneered, "You're right about that; we also have no interest in dealing with him extensively. However, unfortunately, he controls the Angel Soul Pillar's power. I must meet his true form, defeat him, and rescue the Angel Soul Pillar's power from his grasp. That is our sole purpose for being here. You may use any means at your disposal; if you can eliminate all four of us, we will have nothing to say."

Xu Yang's declaration was incredibly domineering and completely undisguised, directly stating his fundamental objective. However, this bluntness only provoked a more furious reaction from the other party.

"It seems you truly are fearless, daring to speak so brazenly in the Spirit Valley of Evil. Does the Elemental Envoy Corps also allow them to be so reckless?" The young man's tone shifted, and he began to address the Elemental Envoy Corps beside him. Given his identity, he knew full well that the Elemental Envoy Corps was intentionally suppressing the Bone King and simultaneously doing him a favor, as it was the leader of the Elemental Envoy Corps who had decided to seek him out.

"I say, you guys are really interesting. You're just dragging your feet, pushing one person against another for a fight. Is it really that troublesome now? My point is simple: wouldn't it be more satisfying if all of you just attacked at once?" Long Kun couldn't help but scratch his nose, grumbling impatiently.

"Hahahaha, very well. Since you prefer directness, I'll give you a quick resolution."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he suddenly directed his palm at the already ice-sealed Bone King. In a mere moment, all of the Bone King's hardened bones and bloodline power were utterly pulverized, transforming into their most primitive energy form and swiftly surging into the young man's body, serving as a power supplement.

"Holy cow, do you have to be so direct? That's a bit too scary, brother! He was still a king among the vassal group, and you just devoured him so effortlessly?"

The blue-robed young man merely revealed a disdainful sneer. "Didn't this waste just tell you? In the Spirit Valley of Evil, the law of the jungle is the only rule of survival. Since he's become so useless, it's only natural for me to devour him. Do you think Father would blame me for a mere ant? Being devoured by me is the Bone King's good fortune, as if in three lifetimes. You don't need to feign compassion here; just mind your own business."

In the next instant, the blue-robed young man, having completed the devouring, felt his aura strengthen by another degree. The totem illusion, conjured from the dual power sources of angel and demon behind him, finally descended.

It was evident that his dual power was not yet fully mature. In Xu Yang's judgment, this individual could only unleash the most basic racial divine abilities of demons and angels, unable to exert the ultimate power of a specific lineage's inheritance. Therefore, he couldn't harm Xu Yang.

"I'll take you on." Xu Yang calmly stepped forward, eager to see just how powerful this bloodline, incorporated into the direct lineage of the Spirit Valley of Evil, truly was.

"Heh heh, then don't regret it! Take this!"

In an instant, towering water elements surged from behind him, transforming into an immense, world-shattering water dragon that targeted Xu Yang's body and lunged forward.

This was merely the blue-robed young man's most ordinary opening move, yet it possessed such overwhelming power and scale that it truly exceeded Xu Yang's expectations.

"Holy smokes, boss, this guy is also a water elemental user! Can your Sea God's Domain suppress him?"

Xu Yang, however, shook his head helplessly. "Don't forget, he's a hybrid of demonic and angelic bloodlines. He can, to some extent, resist the negative effects of domain power. He's truly formidable!"

The two quickly engaged in combat. Simultaneously, the Elemental Envoy Corps, under pressure, also launched their attacks, locking onto the auras of Xu Yang's three companions from thin air, commencing a destructive feast of elemental power.

This was the first life-and-death struggle of proper intensity and scale that Xu Yang's four-person team had encountered since arriving in the Spirit Valley of Evil.

Each of Xu Yang's four team members unleashed their most skilled offensive techniques without reservation, fiercely suppressing the resisting opponents before them.

It's worth noting that the direct bloodline Xu Yang faced was truly troublesome; any elemental energy unleashed by Xu Yang was mercilessly immunized.

However, such a problem did not faze Xu Yang at all, as he possessed an immense wealth of specialized abilities.

Boom!

Another incredibly sharp Asura sword qi burst forth. The sheer force of this single sword gleam completely razed all buildings in the area before them to the ground. What surprised the opponent, however, was that Xu Yang's sword did not directly target their body but instead, without warning, slammed its terrifying power into the ground.
