"Enough talk. This battle today is for the leadership of the Glacier Kingdom. Unless you voluntarily admit defeat, I will not stop!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Lingyun immediately added, "And you call yourself the leader of the Glacier Kingdom? You show no consideration for the people of the Glacier Kingdom, nor for your soldiers below. Once the two divine artifacts unleash their power, they will cause devastating shockwaves, only making the demonic energy below the earth's veins even more volatile and accelerating everyone's downfall. Is this what the supreme leader of the Glacier Kingdom should be doing?"
Shi Lingyun's words were inherently powerfully persuasive and had a calming effect. After her intervention, Ou Bi's support among the crowd plummeted further. It was estimated that among the nearly million combatants from both sides on the battlefield, more than half now favored Xu Yang's victory.
"Hmph, if I cannot even subdue my own subordinates or defend my position as king, what right or ability do I have to protect my people? If I fail in this battle today, I will not cling to life. This is my choice, and no one can change it!"
A resounding boom!
The Supreme Earth Soul Banner unleashed a torrent of golden light, erupting with an unprecedented radiance at the center of the battlefield. Every soul enveloped by the king's banner instinctively fell into a bewildered state, beginning to obey Ou Bi's command and guidance.
"What a powerful mass soul-control ability! The power of this king's banner is truly astonishing!"
Shi Lingyun exclaimed in shock. On the battlefield, apart from Xu Yang's three strongest subordinates, fewer than a hundred people had not been controlled by the king's banner. Hundreds of thousands of others had involuntarily begun to obey Ou Bi's orders.
"I command you, at all costs, even by sacrificing your own lives, to severely wound Xu Yang!"
As the royal decree was issued, an endless stream of golden soul puppets simultaneously sprang into action. Especially the hundreds of thousands of prisoners behind Xu Yang, whose pupils now gleamed with golden light, had completely lost control of their physical bodies.
Simultaneously, Xu Yang reacted instantly. The supreme Sea Demon Orb in his hand expanded with a constantly growing azure light, protecting himself while radiating a defensive aura outwards. However, the Sea Demon Orb was not specialized in providing mass buffs. More importantly, this was the training ground of the God of Earth; without sufficient water elements, the artifact could not unleash its full power.
With one power waning and the other rising, Xu Yang's current display did not further demonstrate his powerful dominance. The lights of the two main divine artifacts clashed in the air, emitting a tumultuous sound of collision that shook the observers.
However, at that very moment, behind the battlefield where everyone stood, from the deepest part of the lake, an incredibly dense black pillar of light shot up into the sky. All the surrounding lake water was instantly tainted a swirling red and black.
A rampant surge of demonic energy, vast as the sky, erupted upwards, effortlessly tearing through all surrounding power seals and barriers.
"Heavens, is this Zi Kuang's doing?"
The soldiers of the Glacier Kingdom were completely stunned. Even the top experts of the Elder Council could no longer remain calm.
Only the guard captain, hidden within the crowd, and the female envoy concealing the dharma text, exchanged cunning smiles.
"Excellent. Our chance to succeed might truly be at hand."
The female envoy also smiled calmly, continuing to lie low with the guard captain, awaiting their opportunity.
Before long, the situation grew increasingly chaotic until Zi Kuang, surrounded and protected by hundreds of massive demonic figures, reappeared in the sight of everyone on the surface of the Glacier Kingdom.
"Apologies for the long wait. I now declare that the demonic lineage will officially take control of the Glacier Kingdom. Those of you who should leave, leave; those who should surrender, surrender. In short, it is time for a new era in these Glacier Ruins. From today onwards, I, Zi Kuang, am the sole king here."
Long Kun, furious, immediately switched to a verbal assault: "You? Go take a look at yourself, brother!"
"You brat, stop spouting nonsense. Once I'm done here, you'll be the first one I deal with."
After saying this, Zi Kuang turned his gaze back to Xu Yang.
"Xu Yang, you know that in the entire Glacier Kingdom, you are the only one I truly value. I'm giving you a chance now to pledge your loyalty to me. If you're willing, from today onwards, you will be second only to me in this magnificent land, above tens of thousands!"
Xu Yang chuckled, "No need to be so polite. I, Xu Yang, have never liked being subservient to anyone. If you asked me to be your master, I might consider it. But if you want me to be your dog, you're dreaming."
Every time Zi Kuang dealt with Xu Yang, he ended up at a disadvantage. Unable to tolerate it any longer, Zi Kuang abruptly raised a palm, unleashing a powerful force towards Xu Yang. It was evident that the Six Demonic Gates had opened simultaneously, with various demonic entities continuously converging in one spot, perfectly repairing Zi Kuang's severely injured body.
At this moment, Zi Kuang was exceptionally energetic, having almost, if not fully, recovered to his peak condition.
This casual yet powerful strike alone forced Xu Yang to retreat repeatedly. Fortunately, the Supreme Sea Demon Orb protected his body, preventing him from being injured.
However, Long Kun and the others clearly saw that Xu Yang, fighting top-tier divine experts alone, was quickly running out of stamina.
A thunderous roar!!
The terrifying rumbling continued to echo. This time, Ou Bi temporarily ceased his attack on Xu Yang and instead locked his combat target onto Zi Kuang.
"You wretch, failing to eliminate you back then has always been my greatest regret. And now, you've willingly delivered yourself to my doorstep today!"
Seeing this individual, Zi Kuang became furious. "You dare show your face before me again? You old bastard! If you hadn't inflicted inhuman torture on me back then, would I be in this state today? Since both of you are here, let the three of us reshuffle the entire continent!"
Boom!!
Zi Kuang suddenly clasped his hands together, and the sealed spirit stone of the Angel Soul Pillar's power, which he had long ago completed sealing, reappeared.
An incomparably pure silvery glow, like a brilliant full moon, also shone brightly at that moment.
"My heavens, what am I seeing! The Eternal Light of the God of Angels! Although I don't know where the Eternal Light on this sealed maiden comes from, I am certain that it is indeed the Eternal Light!"
"To think that in my lifetime, I would witness the legacies of the three main gods gathered here, all returned to the Glacier Kingdom! This old man has no regrets left in this life!!"
