Chapter 604: Erasing the Blue-Clothed Youth

"Argh!"

The blue-clad youth had truly realized the terrifying extent of Xu Yang's power. As this immensely formidable force raged across his body, he was plunged into a state of unprecedented despair.

"You fiend! If you dare to harm my life today, my father will not let any of you leave here alive. I swear you'll die a death ten times worse than mine!"

Xu Yang offered no response; his opponent simply wasn't worthy. Xu Yang merely clasped his hands together, and in that instant, all the demon souls, previously scattered by the void's power, completely disintegrated. Along with them, the blue-clad youth's physical body exploded into nothingness.

"How... how did this happen? That guy was just annihilated by Boss Xu Yang so easily? Boss, how did you do it?"

The other members of Xu Yang's team also wore bewildered expressions. No one understood the basis for Xu Yang's actions.

The power of the void was immensely formidable, but the group had only witnessed it through Xiao Hua. Xu Yang himself possessed profound depths, yet they had never seen him wield true void mysteries. However, this inexplicable method, which overwhelmingly crushed demonic power, seemed achievable only by someone proficient in the laws of the void. Such a miracle appeared to defy explanation.

After confirming that the blue-clad youth's presence had been utterly extinguished, Xu Yang casually clapped his hands, then smiled at his teammates. "My apologies, I surprised you all again."

Meanwhile, the top mages of the Elemental Envoys trembled with fear, as if walking on thin ice. They truly felt an unprecedented terror emanating from Xu Yang.

"Everyone, be on high alert. If this individual suddenly attacks you, concentrate your fire and eliminate him at all costs. If we allow him to proceed, he will undoubtedly become a deadly threat to us!"

The leader of the Elemental Envoys spoke quietly, subtly briefing every subordinate behind him, preparing them for an immediate counterattack.

Xu Yang, however, didn't even spare them a glance. He walked directly to his three teammates.

"Don't look at me like you've just eaten a dead rat. It's not as exaggerated as you think. The reason I could suppress that blue-clad youth so easily is because I spotted a crucial weakness during his spellcasting process: the demonic grimoire in his hand!

It didn't seal any inscription techniques but rather actual demon puppet souls. Since they existed as soul power, and the blue-clad youth attracted these demon souls through a contract-like method, he essentially used his body as a price to hire those evil spirits, boosting his strength to its peak in a very short time to fight against me.

After discovering the secret of his method, I decisively used the 'Sleeve of the Universe' divine ability to lock onto the aura of all demons he had contracted with, isolating them in different void planes. Then, under the guidance of my spiritual power, all demon souls bound by his contract were spontaneously devoured by their corresponding void planes. This meant the young man was simultaneously enduring the tearing pressure from multiple void planes all by himself!

Imagine, no matter how powerful someone is, even a true god, they cannot single-handedly withstand the crushing spatial laws of several planes at once. That's the fundamental reason he was so easily destroyed by me."

After this secret was revealed, Xu Yang's three teammates finally showed expressions of sudden understanding.

"Haha, Boss, you're amazing! How did we not think of something like that?"

Ling Yao glanced at Long Kun beside her with disdain. "Your flattery is getting out of hand. Even if you understood the principle, could you wield the 'Sleeve of the Universe' divine ability? Ridiculous!"

The two began their usual bickering, while only Shi Lingyun remained calm. Her attention had been focused on the Elemental Envoys' powerful figures from the very beginning, fearing they might suddenly launch a strong attack against their side at any moment.

"Lingyun, how do you want to deal with these guys next? They are all elemental mages with the strongest talents. If you could absorb their abilities and seal them within your Ice Crystal Scepter, it would undoubtedly bring a deeper enhancement to your combat power."

Shi Lingyun hadn't considered this. She was merely concerned about the safety of her teammates. However, after hearing Xu Yang's suggestion, Shi Lingyun genuinely felt a surge of desire.

"I don't have any particular ideas. I'll leave everything to Boss to decide for me."

Long Kun couldn't help but chuckle from the side. "Your tone sounds like the Boss's daughter, choosing a husband for marriage—letting the Boss decide everything!"

"Enough!"

The leader of the Elemental Envoys had already turned pale with rage. They had never experienced such a situation: being brazenly mocked to their faces by these foreign invaders, who completely disregarded them. In a fit of fury, he finally couldn't hold back this shout.

"You ants truly don't know your place! Do you really think our Spirit Gorge has no one who can punish you?"

Long Kun waved a finger dismissively at the Elemental Envoy leader. "You just saw it, didn't you? Our Boss can effortlessly obliterate even your direct lineage powerhouses. And you, a bunch of nobodies, dare to act so arrogantly in front of my Boss?"

The Elemental Envoy leader burst into laughter. "While those of direct lineage hold an extraordinary status in Spirit Gorge, most of them are still developing. Haven't you considered that since your arrival here, you haven't faced any truly mature, peak-level adversaries?

That's because the true Elder-level powerhouses typically slumber in the deepest parts of Spirit Gorge. They are the genuine foundation of our lineage. During Lord Zi's seclusion, the Five Great Elders are in charge. Even if your true god-level experts were to descend, we would not fear them in the slightest!"

Xu Yang seemed to find the Elemental Envoy leader's words intriguing.

"If that's the case, then hurry and summon those Elders. Otherwise, the fun of this game will be greatly diminished."

The Elemental Envoy leader suddenly raised his right arm and lightly waved it in the void for a moment, drawing an oval totem in the air. Under the guidance of his power, the totem rapidly expanded infinitely above their heads, then vanished into the far reaches of the sky.

Moments later, a dazzling bolt of lightning, summoned by the totem, crashed violently into the deepest part of Spirit Gorge, acting more like a signal to summon the truly formidable Spirit Elders.
