Chapter 628: True God Level

"Initially, I considered offering you a chance to cling to life, but it seems that's no longer necessary. No matter what transpired deep within the underground palace, you are all prisoners of the Glacier Nation. Even if the sky crumbles and the entire continent faces collapse, I will never permit you to run rampant in our Glacier Nation!"

Upon hearing Ou Bi's words, Xu Yang and the others instantly grasped his true intentions. It was clear that he had never intended to unite with, let alone forgive, the hundreds of thousands of people in the underground palace.

"Very well. Since you've already made your decision, there's no sense in prolonged discussion. If it's a fight you want, I'll be there until the very end!"

As Xu Yang's voice faded, he was the first to charge out of the barrier and into the void, his gaze chillingly sweeping across the vast glacial battlefield below, where tens of thousands of Glacier Nation elites stood poised for combat.

Yet, no matter how formidable these elites were, in Xu Yang's eyes, they were mere ants. The only individual capable of standing on equal footing with him was Ou Bi himself.

"Hmph, a mere human dares to act so brazenly before us? Unleash the Ice Scar Cannon! Let him experience the might of the Glacier Nation's weaponry!"

The speaker was none other than the Second Elder of the Elder Council, a highly respected and ancient senior from the Glacier Empire. The moment his voice rang out, Xu Yang's attention was drawn to him.

"Getting active again, are we? Old fossil, with such limited vision, you don't deserve the title of Elder!"

Xu Yang smirked coldly. Instantly, the Law of Earth erupted beneath the old man, launching him directly into the air.

Witnessing this, Leader Ou Bi immediately invoked the same Law of Earth, forcibly altering the Second Elder's airborne trajectory and halting his ascent. Although the elder sustained some minor injuries, he was ultimately spared from being directly obliterated by Xu Yang.

To the Second Elder's dismay, Xu Yang, in a moment of playful impulse, had no intention of letting the arrogant old man off the hook. He once more deployed the Law of Earth, summoning a massive boulder from the void where the elder was descending, intercepting his body in mid-air.

Thus, the two continuously exchanged blows, effectively treating the Second Elder like a ping-pong ball, with the heavens as their court and boulders as their paddles. In mere moments, hundreds of rounds of exchanges occurred, leaving the Second Elder utterly humiliated, trapped with no escape upwards and no way to land safely.

"Ahahaha! Look, Boss Xu Yang is batting that old dog around like a ball! I'm dying of laughter!"

Hundreds of thousands of people erupted in laughter, and the Second Elder, consumed by shame, desperately blurted out an angry curse at Ou Bi.

Leader Ou Bi's authority was not to be trifled with. Hearing the Second Elder's insolent words, he immediately withdrew his assistance, watching as the utterly exhausted and tormented Second Elder plummeted to the ground, reduced to a mangled heap.

"Xu Yang, you have slain an elder of my Glacier clan. Your crime is unforgivable. Prepare to face judgment."

Ou Bi was truly despicable. He had clearly orchestrated this entire situation, then conveniently shifted the blame onto Xu Yang. Such a wretch was truly unworthy of leading the Glacier Nation.

"Enough talk. Since you're determined to fight me to the bitter end, why don't we make a wager? If you win, my life is yours. But if you lose, you must relinquish your supreme status as leader of the Glacier Nation, and I shall govern it. Do you possess the courage for such a gamble?"

Ou Bi burst into laughter. "Why wouldn't I dare? Don't forget, this is my domain. I can command all resources here. What makes you believe you can stand against me?"

Xu Yang shrugged indifferently. "If you possess the ability, I wouldn't care if you brought down all the myriad heavens and realms. As long as you emerge as the final victor, no matter what methods you employ to win, you will undeniably be the ultimate champion."

"Excellent! Those are the very words I wanted to hear!" Ou Bi's aura erupted. Clenching the scepter in his hand, he slowly ascended, confronting Xu Yang before the hundreds of thousands gathered below.

"Tell me, isn't our leader at a significant disadvantage? He's lost the Asura Divine Sword and is exhausted from numerous battles, yet he's about to face the Glacier Nation leader, who is in peak condition and holds every strategic advantage."

Long Kun couldn't help but feel concerned for his leader. Indeed, the situation was precisely as Long Kun described: Xu Yang was inherently at a significant disadvantage in this confrontation.

"It's fine. While our leader isn't in peak condition, his raw strength is simply beyond comparison. More importantly, consider his extraordinary wisdom—have you ever known him to lose to anyone? No matter how powerful this Glacier leader is, he's merely another Zi Kuang. If our leader can suppress one, he can certainly suppress a second!"

Ling Yao clearly held unwavering confidence in Xu Yang. In her eyes, Xu Yang was the most formidable being in all the heavens and earth!

*Rumble!*

Their first moves clashed explosively. The Glacier leader, with an air of profound arrogance, unleashed the Law of Earth. Behind him, a brilliant golden halo totem of the earth swiftly materialized, enveloping his form. This was the purest defensive halo, capable of withstanding a lethal blow from a god-tier combatant.

"He truly lives up to his title as the Glacier Nation's leader. Did you notice how his mastery of the Law of Earth appears even more refined than our leader's?"

"Naturally! He possesses the most complete inheritance of the Earth God, and his Earth Domain is likely his ultimate trump card. Our leader doesn't have these. If we're solely comparing the Law of Earth, he undeniably holds the advantage."

Shi Lingyun's assessment was spot on, clearly outlining the advantages and disadvantages of both combatants in their current state.

While Xu Yang held no advantage in a direct confrontation using the Law of Earth, his true strength lay in his profound reserves and numerous god-tier inheritances. If this truly became a battle to the death, the outcome remained uncertain.

"Today, I shall demonstrate what the true Law of Earth entails!"

*Rumble!*

Above, a dazzling golden totem rapidly materialized. After locking onto Xu Yang's aura, it gracefully pressed down, like a vast celestial curtain descending upon them.

Xu Yang slowly gazed upwards. The markings of this orthodox Law of Earth totem were indeed more complete than the fragments he had glimpsed from ancient texts.

"I must concede that your proficiency in the Law of Earth surpasses my own. However, to believe you can defeat me with only this one technique is nothing but a fool's delusion."

In the next instant, Xu Yang chose to activate the Phoenix Totem. A brilliant phoenix silhouette soared from behind him, emitting a piercing cry that echoed through the nine heavens.

"Heavens, that sound... Xu Yang actually possesses the Phoenix Domain!"

In an instant, boundless phoenix flames incinerated the void battlefield. Guided by the Phoenix Totem, the unyielding power of the flames within its domain continuously intensified. Under the direction of Xu Yang's spiritual energy, the totem's outline rapidly surged upward, the Undying Phoenix Totem actively surging forward to confront the power coalesced from the Law of Earth!
