Chapter 625: Magic Calamity Descends

Xu Yang continued to direct the battle, further integrating the immense power coalesced by the four individuals. This power, in the form of the laws of heaven, continuously enveloped the location of the Six Paths Demon Gates.

Rumbling sounds echoed as endless bolts of thunder continuously struck down. Power of this intensity was beyond what any single life form could resist. Yet, the Six Paths Demon Gates seemed like six indestructible giants; no matter how powerful the attacks, their existence appeared largely unaffected.

As time slowly passed, the outlines of the Six Paths Demon Gates, along with their eerie red glow, grew increasingly intense. On the battlefield, Zi Kuang, who was temporarily unable to recover his fighting strength, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Xu Yang," he mocked, "don't waste your effort. This is the strongest blood sacrifice, offered by Sin as a realm spirit, at the cost of complete annihilation of form and spirit. The Six Paths Demon Gates have been fully awakened. The doomsday for your human continent is at hand!"

"This is our last chance! Everyone, attack together!"

Xu Yang reverted to his true form. At this moment, the Asura Divine Sword was infinitely magnified by him. However, his "Sleeve Dimension" divine ability could not be used due to a conflict with his own divine law energy form.

Nevertheless, using the Asura Divine Sword as a conduit, Xu Yang channeled all the combined power of the four individuals into it. Success or failure hinged on this single strike!

Rumbling! Finally, Xu Yang hurled the Asura Divine Sword from his hand. This world-shattering strike, carrying the most formidable power ever seen deep within the underground palace, finally erupted. Wherever the Asura sword light passed, the entire void shattered, plunging into endless darkness. All life forms around the Specter Battlefield were also annihilated as the sword's power unleashed.

As Xu Yang had stated, there was no turning back from this sword; it carried the future destiny of the entire human continent.

Xu Yang had to admit, this was the strongest, unprecedented strike he had ever unleashed in his tens of thousands of years of life. In terms of the destructive power unleashed by this single sword, any true god-level expert standing in its path would inevitably be reduced to ashes, their divine essence shattered.

However, once the Asura Divine Artifact truly entered the dark domain unleashed by the Six Paths Demon Gates, the sword itself began to tremble violently and uncontrollably. This was because the collision of these two immense forces had exceeded the maximum power that the Asura Divine Sword, a divine-grade weapon, could bear.

"No good, the Asura Sword seems to be breaking!" someone exclaimed. "The collision of these two forces is equivalent to the clash of laws from two different spatial planes. The consequences will be world-ending. This single sword alone might truly be unable to withstand such immense pressure."

*Crack!* A crisp sound erupted. The scene everyone most dreaded ultimately occurred. The Asura Sword, which had accompanied Xu Yang on his countless battles across the world, finally shattered in this climactic fight. It transformed into streams of silver light that flew back into Xu Yang's soul world, merging into his Angel Heart.

However, the infinite power that had been carried by the Asura Sword did not cease. Instead, it transformed into a thousand streaks of auspicious light. Guided by Xu Yang's myriad divine paths, it continued to surge into the endless darkness within the Six Paths Demon Gates, fulfilling its uncompleted mission.

Light and darkness, new birth and decay, shattering and eternity... Each of these themes, which defined the world-ending battle, transformed into fragmented points of light, forever etched into the depths of each person's soul beside Xu Yang.

Until the entire void completely shattered, and everything around them fell into absolute silence.

Xu Yang and his three companions, along with Zi Kuang on the other side of the battlefield, simultaneously closed their eyes. They savored this rare moment of tranquility while also awaiting the final answer.

Rumbling! A tremendous roar once again awakened the few dormant souls on the battlefield. To Xu Yang and his three companions' despair, their entire power had been exhausted. Yet, the Six Paths Demon Gates had still not been completely shattered; only innumerable cracks had appeared on their surface.

Ironically, this heaven-defying confrontation ultimately concluded with Zi Kuang's victory.

"What a pity," Xu Yang lamented, "if I had already condensed a true divine core and fully stepped into the realm of gods, I would surely have been able to shatter these Demon Gates. It seems that without a divine core, without being truly recognized by the laws of heaven and earth, we still have a significant gap to that realm!"

Xu Yang sighed helplessly. That was the reality: without a divine core, no matter how powerful one became, they remained within the mortal sphere.

"Hahaha, Xu Yang," Zi Kuang taunted, "I'm curious what you're thinking now. An invincible person who fought against heaven and earth, once so arrogant, has finally met his first defeat."

Yet, Xu Yang maintained a calm smile, his demeanor utterly serene. "I don't consider this a failure," he stated. "As a mere mortal of the human race, I fought against heaven and earth all the way here, nearly shattering the Six Paths Demon Gates. How can you call me a loser?

"Furthermore, in your view, does the full opening of the Six Paths Demon Gates truly mean our entire continent is doomed? You're the one who should be ridiculed! By forcibly opening the Six Paths Demon Gates and disrupting the balanced order of various spatial planes, you have made yourself the target of all."

Zi Kuang continued to laugh defiantly. "I don't care about any of that," he retorted. "What if I have to face the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths alone? What if I am shattered to pieces and condemned to hell forever? I've completed the last thing I wanted to do. Now, let the demons pay for all of this!"

Zi Kuang had completely succumbed to madness. He had entirely lost his moral compass. All he wanted was to recklessly destroy all beauty, satisfying his twisted desires in a way that extinguished his conscience.

Naturally, Xu Yang would absolutely not allow him to succeed.

Rumbling! The Six Paths Gates fully opened. All the sin-filled aura hidden in the darkness underwent a qualitative change at this moment. And these six demon gates, which were on the verge of shattering, began to converge into one entity. Their black-red outlines rapidly evolved into true blood-red.

"This is bad! The Six Paths Gates are starting to merge!" Xu Yang exclaimed. "Once fully formed, this gate will become the sole connection between the true demon world and our human continent. It means the convergence point of two vast worlds will be right here in the Glacier Kingdom. In our current state, we are utterly unable to contend with the entire demon world."

Xu Yang's expression became exceptionally grim. He had not anticipated that this battle would ultimately escalate to such a situation.

His human continent could never possibly stand against a demon world of divine-level strength. A confrontation between mortals and gods could only ever have one outcome: annihilation.

"Boss, what should we do now? What else can we do?"

Xu Yang pondered for a moment before finally speaking. "The only thing we can still do now is to help everyone in the underground palace escape from here, and then unite with the Glacier Kingdom. We must try to seal off this breach for demon intrusion, preventing the entire continent from being affected. Since we currently cannot stop them, we can only do our best to minimize the damage."

Shi Lingyun and the others nodded in agreement with Xu Yang's idea. After settling on this plan, the four of them did not continue to entangle themselves with Zi Kuang. Guided by Xu Yang's law power, they soared into the air and began to swiftly cover every corner of the entire underground palace with their divine power.
