Chapter 632: Mysterious Passage

The powerful figures from the Glacier Kingdom were visibly excited, but Zikuan merely smiled patiently at them.

"There's no need to be so agitated," he said. "This no longer concerns you. If today's battle doesn't go smoothly and I become enraged, then I won't hesitate. After I seize control of the Glacier Kingdom, I'll wipe out all the factions belonging to the three main gods' lineage and let demons dominate everything here."

Zikuan was indeed a terrifying individual, one who always followed through on his threats. Both Xu Yang and Lord Oubi had experienced this firsthand.

"Must it be this way?" Xu Yang interjected. "If the Demon World links with the Human Continent, it will unleash an endless succession of wars. This isn't merely a matter between two realms."

Xu Yang wanted to continue reasoning with Zikuan. He was well aware that Zikuan still possessed a conscience; he had simply been driven to madness by his past experiences. How could a man with angelic power within him truly be utterly wicked? He had simply buried the softest part of his soul deep within himself.

"Silence!" Zikuan roared. "Xu Yang, since you've already rejected my terms, there's nothing left for us to discuss. All that remains is the relationship of conqueror and conquered!"

At last, the combined power of the three individuals, each representing an inheritor of the three main gods, surged towards the sky, their energies inadvertently merging into one.

This powerful initial confrontation caused the outermost angelic seal of the Angelic Soul Pillar, which had long been dormant, to begin its awakening.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the dew-like liquid essence flowing from the seal was, in fact, the tears of the Angelic Soul Pillar itself.

"Quick, you three, collect all this dripping liquid!" Xu Yang urged.

Xu Yang immediately sent out a mental message as a warning. Long Kun and the other two instantly sprang into action, collecting a remarkable three wineskins full of Angel's Tears!

Shortly after, the seal completely melted away, and the light radiating from the three main god artifacts intensified to its absolute peak.

With the seal dissolved, the true form of the Angelic Soul Pillar was revealed to Xu Yang for the very first time.

Due to the power of the Angel Heart within him, Xu Yang could bypass the angelic protective barrier. Other mortals could not see through it, nor were they worthy of defiling the angel's sacred visage with their gaze.

The Soul Pillar was undoubtedly stunningly beautiful. Though her eyes were closed, Xu Yang could still perceive her profound inner sorrow, discerning it through the melancholy and weariness etched upon her face and understanding the experiences of her long years.

"I have come for you," Xu Yang projected. "The Divine Tree of Cloud Dream City guided me here. I will take you back to your rightful place."

Using the Angel Heart, Xu Yang projected the purest mental message directly into the soul world of the angelic maiden.

Finally, upon hearing his voice, the maiden slowly opened her eyes. The moment her purple gaze appeared, those two eyes, as the purest source of angelic power, inadvertently touched the Supreme Earth Soul Flag and the Supreme Sea Demon Pearl. The fundamental powers of the three main artifacts, separated for millennia, had finally reunited on this day.

*Boom!*

The three fundamental powers converged, erupting into a sky-piercing pillar of three-colored light that hummed in unison. This surge also inadvertently unlocked a special restriction within the Glacier Kingdom.

*Creak!*

From an aerial view of the entire Glacier Island at that moment, one would easily notice three pagoda-shaped totem marks simultaneously emerging from the island's three corners. These marks represented the inherited wills of the three main gods: the God of Angels, the God of Earth, and the God of Ocean.

The marks slowly ascended, quickly converging from three directions to the focal point where the fundamental powers of the three main artifacts had gathered. They ravenously absorbed this surge of energy, simultaneously giving birth to an unprecedented teleportation portal of light!

"Heavens... Where does this portal lead?"

No one knew the answer. For this secret had never been revealed, not even when the three main gods departed the continental plane eons ago. Yet, the appearance of this teleportation formation was undeniably significant!

"Go!"

As if guided by the newly awakened purple-eyed Angelic Soul Pillar, Xu Yang received a silent nudge. Both of them simultaneously soared into the air, vanishing into the light portal without delay.

Witnessing their departure, Oubi, also an inheritor of the three main gods, hesitated. Even the God of Earth had never mentioned such a place. It was highly probable that it was a forbidden zone! If he were to rush in blindly and perish, it would certainly not be worth it for him.

Little did he know that while he was caught in his hesitation, the other three members of Xu Yang's team simultaneously ascended, unhesitatingly following Xu Yang into the light portal.

"Go!"

At that moment, the Guard Commander and the Female Emissary unleashed divine power from their sacred texts, piercing through the energy barrier formed by the three main artifacts and plunging into the light portal.

"Damn it! What's with those two? What's that secret scripture they're holding?"

"Grand Elder, it appears to be... a Divine Tome!"

"What did you say? Pursue them!"

In his urgency, the Grand Elder immediately gave the order. A dozen top powerhouses from the Elder Council simultaneously surged into the air, attempting to follow them into the light portal. Awkwardly, at that very moment, Zikuan, who had been still for some time, suddenly burst forward with a loud laugh. With a single palm, he sent the dozen elders flying, then stood triumphantly before the portal.

"My apologies, but this game already has enough players," Zikuan declared. "It ends here with me! The rest of you need not enter. I'm leaving you with these demons; that should be enough to keep you occupied for a while, hahaha!"

Zikuan waved his hand, unleashing a powerful burst of demonic energy. This instantly severed the continuous energy flow from the three main artifacts, causing the light portal to rapidly dwindle and vanish. Just before it completely disappeared, he stepped through.

As the light portal vanished, the three main artifacts also disappeared into that mysterious space, each returning to their owners. Notably, the Earth King Flag, which rightfully belonged to Oubi, had also inexplicably vanished into the portal, much to his infuriation.

However, upon reflection, Oubi realized that with all the top powerhouses having entered, it might not be a bad thing for him. If those individuals were sealed within, unable to escape, he could then rest easy.

"My command!" Oubi bellowed. "People of the Glacier Kingdom, cease your assault on the prisoners of the Underworld Palace. The two great factions shall unite against our common foe and eradicate the demons!"

With this command, the restless hearts of the Glacier Kingdom's populace were appeased, and Oubi temporarily solidified his position as their king. With this decision made, the hundreds of thousands of prisoners from the various races of the Underworld Palace naturally ceased to cause him further trouble.

The five Epic Demons successively voiced their support, pledging allegiance to Oubi's unified command. The golden light of the Law of Earth swiftly enveloped the entire Glacier faction, establishing demons as their sole enemy. It must be said that Oubi was a natural leader with exceptional talent. Under his unified command, the army quickly organized into a formidable and orderly force, and the main battlefront officially erupted shortly thereafter.

As for Xu Yang and his companions, after stepping through that enigmatic light portal, they each embarked on entirely distinct new journeys!
