Chapter 616: Worshiping the Angel's Blessing

Xu Yang waved his hand, and the Ice Crystal Scepter instantly appeared in his grasp. Feeling the immense surging spiritual power within it, Xu Yang once again displayed a terrifying aura of supreme dominance. He hovered in mid-air, coldly gazing down at the large figure before him.

"Controlling the ebb and flow of a battle is also a skill! No matter how powerful someone is, they will eventually encounter opponents stronger than themselves. The ability to maximize one's advantages, thereby turning the tide and defeating an opponent, is also a crucial skill."

"I don't deny that you are incredibly powerful. Even in a one-on-one fight, I wouldn't be confident in suppressing you. But that possibility no longer exists, because I have now become the one who controls the outcome of this battle."

As Xu Yang's voice faded, he slowly raised the scepter in his hand. However, he wasn't in a hurry to unleash its power, nor did he use his Angel's Heart. What he truly wanted to do was not to obliterate or suppress his opponent, but rather to uncover the real secret hidden deep within this colossal facade.

Indeed, when Sin saw the faintly visible angel totem within the crystal skull of Xu Yang's scepter, it instinctively began to panic. Although this massive creature possessed extremely high intelligence, it ultimately lacked the nuanced thoughts of humans and even less understood how to conceal its emotions. The word "angel" was an unparalleled mental sanction against it.

"Your only choice now is to worship this scepter in my hand, to worship the soul of this angel, or else you will suffer his endless wrath!"

"You dream! Demons will never have to bow to angels again!"

Its eleven pupils ignited once more. This time, everyone was astonished to find that the spiritual power emanating from Sin's body was no longer purely black, but mixed with a furious red, unique to the demonic essence! The spiritual power's intensity was also a few degrees stronger than the previous surge.

However, such power could no longer cause much disturbance before Xu Yang at this moment.

"Think carefully. Once you decide to attack me, you will no longer have the chance to worship the angel!"

*Rumble!*

Violent spiritual power erupted again. Sin abruptly lifted its massive body, opened its grotesque, cavernous mouth, and expelled all its spiritual power in a torrent. This allowed the spiritual power to be entirely concentrated on Xu Yang's body, causing immense damage to a single target.

Xu Yang, however, let out a cold laugh. Having already discerned the opponent's weakness, he no longer had any worries. He gently raised the Ice Crystal Scepter in his hand. The moment the ice crystal skull gleamed with colored light, the black-red spiritual light before him was indeed significantly weakened. The feeling was like endless, surging waves crashing against an insurmountable, towering mountain; no matter how powerful the force, it could not shake the mountain before it...

As Xu Yang had said, he had perfectly controlled the rhythm of this confrontation. He did not unleash all the spiritual power within the Ice Crystal Scepter at once. After all, he was still concerned that accidentally eliminating Sin would lead to more trouble and complications. What he wanted was to see through the true secret beneath this facade, and now was the perfect opportunity to uncover it!

Relying on his formidable control, Xu Yang managed the scepter's emitted spiritual power, barely managing to hold even with Sin's. The stalemate between these two ultimate forces was a form of mutual restriction. Simultaneously, Xu Yang activated his Angel's Heart, and the silver, shimmering Moon Totem reappeared behind him.

The perfect Asura Path Totem inherently contained a portion of angelic power. The incredibly brilliant full moon behind him now transformed into a mirror, perfectly enveloping Sin's eleven pupils.

After discerning Xu Yang's true objective, Sin roared hysterically. However, it was ultimately a step too late. The secret hidden within its body was finally perfectly exposed after Xu Yang's maneuver.

They were six spacetime gates, filled with endless darkness. No scenery could be seen within any of the portals, but their profound, clear outlines floated in the endless dark void, standing out prominently, perfectly reflected by the bright moon-mirror.

"Good heavens! This is truly something you rarely see! This creature's massive body actually hides portals connecting to other spatial domains! How is this possible? It's beyond my comprehension!" Long Kun immediately backed down. He had never heard of a method that used living beings to seal void passages.

However, Shi Lingyun, standing beside him, seemed to suddenly recall something and spoke with a solemn expression: "I once heard a Demon-Subduing Arhat of the Three Thousand Buddhist Gates say that there was a concept in the demon realm called 'Formation Spirit,' which involved using the flesh and souls of living beings as an energy source for certain magic formations! The ultimate evolution of a Formation Spirit could even become a 'Realm Spirit,' a living medium connecting worlds. This involves sealing formation patterns and the entrances/exits of teleportation passages within extremely powerful living Realm Spirits, which both increases concealment and security, and makes the teleportation point's location more flexible. If such a concept truly exists, then this Sin is likely a Realm Spirit from the demon lineage!"

Long Kun and Ling Yao were both shocked by this revelation. Only Xu Yang, still hovering in mid-air in a stalemate with the massive creature, remained expressionless. He gazed at the six black, evil gates for a long time, and the emotions flickering in his eyes seemed very complex.

"Hehehe, so what if you painstakingly uncovered my secret? You're a very clever boy, but often, when you discover a secret you cannot stop or resist, reality will only bring you more pain, because you cannot prevent any of this from happening!" Sin spoke coldly, which indeed deepened Xu Yang's killing intent.

"Since you have discovered the secret within my body, I might as well tell you everything. I am one of the nine Demon Realm Spirits; Sin is merely one of my titles. I have simply devoured too much evil; I no longer even remember my original form. Besides being a Realm Spirit, I am also Lord Zi's sacrificial beast, and the medium he uses to open the Six Paths of Demons. Once he emerges from seclusion, having achieved success and obtained the complete essence of the Angel Soul Pillar power, that will be the time for us to leave this place, overthrow the Glacier Kingdom, destroy the legacies of the three main gods, and even rule the entire continent!"

"You dream!"

Facing the arrogant Sin, Xu Yang was consumed by rage. The power of the Asura Divine Sword burned to its peak at this moment, transforming into a streak of light that pierced three of Sin's eleven pupils.

Red-black blood gushed out as Sin screamed hysterically, dispelling all the concealing ice power around it and frantically attacking everything in its surroundings.
