Chapter 612: Evil Sins of the Demon

"No, this is impossible! Even if you can control the laws of the earth and use the power of the protruding sand and rock formations to block this force, you absolutely shouldn't be unharmed! Our power is enough to turn all living beings within a hundred-mile radius into ashes! How can you be completely unscathed?!"

Xu Yang sneered, "I never fight battles I'm not confident about. The moment I decided to engage you in this way, I had already planned my counter-measure. The Universal Sleeve can not only seal others, but it can also be used as a critical passage between me and other planes. While it can't last long, two or three seconds of evasion is entirely achievable."

Hearing Xu Yang's explanation, Shi Lingyun and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they all marveled at the brilliance of Xu Yang's strategy!

"Heh heh, I told you! Our boss never takes a loss. Those three blockheads aren't fit to be the boss's opponents! Ridiculous!"

A loud bang erupted from Long Kun's location. The three of them burst out of the rocks and immediately rushed to Xu Yang's side to regroup.

Under normal circumstances, the outer rock and earth seal alone would have been unable to withstand the impact of the recent explosion. Fortunately, Shi Lingyun's Ice Crystal Scepter played its part just in time, releasing a pre-stored multi-elemental protective barrier. With this double safeguard, the three of them were perfectly preserved.

At this point, seeing the four unharmed individuals before them, the three Elders were left with nothing but endless despair.

"To think, we still lost in the end."

The Fourth Elder gave a bitter, helpless smile. They had never imagined that after cultivating for so many years in this Specter Gorge, their end would come so bleakly in this manner.

"No, from the moment of your birth, this day was destined to come. You were never meant to exist in this world, and the one who caused your lifelong tragedy was that guy, Zi Kuang. He defied tradition, committed unethical acts, and was destined to be rejected by this great world."

Xu Yang calmly spoke his thoughts. At the same time, with a shift of his will, the laws of the earth took effect. The bodies of the three Elders before him were lifted into the air by three massive boulders.

"You were born here, lingering for countless millennia. Now, returning to dust is not an undignified end. I will let you become fertilizer that nourishes all things, allowing you to exist in the world in a proper form for eternity."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, the earth, at his command, split in two, creating a deep chasm.

The boulders binding the three Elders then free-fell, carrying the souls of the three Elders into a peaceful slumber, forever buried in the deepest parts of the earth.

"The earth nourishes all things, and souls are immortal. Boss, no matter what form their souls take, they will forever be grateful to you. You helped them find the meaning of life."

Xu Yang smiled and shook his head. "I'm not as noble as you describe. I merely dealt with the opponents obstructing our path in the most dignified way possible. I never enjoy the brutal process of killing, but for the outcome that killing brings, I can only continue down this path. Little do people know that in this world, some things must be fought for."

The Three Elements Return to One technique unleashed by the three Elders had already leveled the entire main battlefield of Specter Gorge. The area was now barren, and hundreds of thousands of specters had all turned to ash and smoke.

After resolving the issue with the three Elders, Xu Yang and the other three looked around with a sense of bewilderment. The feelings in their hearts were indescribable.

Being in such a vast and desolate wasteland indeed evoked a desire to escape.

"Boss, look over there... what is that?!"

Long Kun faltered for a moment, stammering as he pointed towards the deepest part of their vision, where a huge, dozens-of-meters-tall beastly silhouette seemed to appear in the dust-filled, undulating area.

"This... this aura..."

Boom! Boom!!

Each step the colossal beast took caused the entire ground to tremble violently.

It wasn't until the previously blurred sight ahead drew closer that its enormous body fully revealed itself.

It was a massive, spherical monster with milky-white skin. Its entire body resembled a colossal meatball, and its face was covered with over a dozen black, elliptical pupils. Most terrifying were the two scythes at the end of its tentacles, which emanated a soul aura as powerful as that of a divine artifact.

"What the hell is this thing? I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a hideous monster!"

Long Kun couldn't hold back and blurted out a complaint. Unexpectedly, the colossal meatball seemed to have a temper, letting out a sudden roar without warning. Its two enormous scythes lunged forward, heading straight for Long Kun's position.

Simultaneously, the monster's dozen-plus pupils erupted with black, evil light, firmly locking onto Long Kun's position. When the light descended, it formed a malevolent sealed space, plunging Long Kun into an atmosphere of endless darkness and wickedness.

"Witness my Phoenix Power!"

Long Kun gritted his teeth and resisted fiercely, but the effect seemed minimal as the two massive scythes pressed down hard towards his head.

Fortunately, Xu Yang acted immediately. The Asura Divine Sword descended from the sky, shattering the malevolent space beneath Long Kun at the critical moment and tearing open an opening for him.

Long Kun, having been suppressed for too long, let out an earth-shattering roar. For the first time, the Phoenix Totem ignited on his back.

In that instant, Long Kun achieved a new self-breakthrough. Without entering a state of Nirvana, he summoned the Phoenix Totem, and the overwhelming phoenix light behind him rapidly dispelled the surrounding darkness and evil.

"Boss, this big guy's eyes are terrifying! Don't let him lock onto your aura; it's as if the endless abyss is connected to his soul!"

Xu Yang could almost guess the general idea. "I understand. This colossal meatball is one of the most terrifying exclusive creatures of the demonic lineage, called Sin! It's said to grow by devouring all evil essence in the world. And the measure of Sin's level and strength is the number of its pupils. This huge creature in front of us has over a dozen pupils, so it must be a top-tier Sin!"

After Xu Yang finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood.

"Strange, Boss. If this giant creature is an exclusive being of the demonic lineage, why is it here?"

"There's only one explanation: it is Zi Kuang's sacrificial beast!"

"Hahahaha... You're Xu Yang, right? All this commotion outside was caused by you? As expected of the top prodigy among the human race, your strength is not to be underestimated. But it's a pity, you're about to become my food."

The enormous creature trembled its flabby body, and its movement speed suddenly increased by a notch!

"Danger!"
