Chapter 661: Erasing the Law of Light

Even Zikung couldn't help but praise Xu Yang, demonstrating the sheer brilliance of his move. Chenxi Riluo, who was severely impacted by this tactic, seemed to vaguely grasp why the God-King held such high regard for this seemingly insignificant human.

To some extent, the God-King saw Xu Yang as the Yun Wangji of hundreds of thousands of years ago – a totem-like figure capable of directly representing the entire human race.

This perspective was, in fact, the highest possible commendation for Xu Yang, as beings possessing divinity inherently harbored a deep-seated arrogance and disdain for the creatures of the lower realms. Regardless of how much they acknowledged a human's strength, they would never genuinely regard them as an equal life form.

Yet, Yun Wangji, in his time, achieved such a miracle, ascending to the pinnacle of the divine race with an ordinary human body, even capable of rallying gods and demons from all corners with a single command.

While Xu Yang's journey began significantly later than Yun Wangji's, his subtle influence over other races and his innate charismatic leadership were undoubtedly unparalleled, even by Yun Wangji himself.

Boom! The Sword of Heaven-Shaking Moon perfectly slammed into the surface of the Law of Light. In that instant, the entire void plunged into an absolute silence, devoid of all five senses. A monstrously vast rift in the void nearly consumed the Law of Light into nothingness.

Had Chenxi Riluo not intervened promptly with an unknown special divine artifact, instantly severing the connection between the Law of Light and the void, he would likely have been cast into the endless void alongside his own Law of Light.

"Good heavens, is this the suppressive force unleashed by Boss's full-power strike? I can't help but feel that even the esteemed Four Divine Generals of the God Realm can't achieve this level of attack power!"

Empress Isis chuckled, casting a glance at Long Kun beside her. "Actually, your assessment isn't incorrect. In terms of sheer offensive power, Xu Yang's immediate combat burst is already beyond comparison for even the most revered gods. Especially after he fused his heritage with the Jade Bone Divine Sword in his hand, the unleashed sword energy is even more terrifying than before."

Ling Yao, standing nearby, seemed to swell with excitement upon hearing the Empress's words. "If that's true, then there's a chance Boss could even defeat Chenxi Riluo in this fight, isn't there?"

Zikung let out a dismissive laugh. "Absolutely not! What are you thinking? Can one of the dignified Four Divine Generals of the God Realm be defeated by a mere human who doesn't even possess divinity? If Chenxi Riluo hadn't been acting under the God-King's orders, we would likely have been reduced to dust by now. And if that were the case, your boss would certainly not have allowed you to remain in this individual's presence for so long; we would undoubtedly have all been safely relocated."

"The reason Xu Yang has such ample room to operate in this battle is that the opponent has created perfect conditions for him to make his move. If Chenxi Riluo were truly in a berserk, reckless state, he could likely obliterate all of us with a single technique."

"Xu Yang is unleashing such ferocious combat power now to truly demonstrate his irreplaceable worth to Chenxi Riluo. Only by earning their respect can we, our subordinates, secure a chance at survival."

Shi Lingyun's elaboration on Zikung's words perfectly addressed the doubts harbored by Jiang Longkun, his companions, and the mages nearby.

Put simply, this was never a truly fair duel from the outset. However, due to the specific conditions established by the God-King, Xu Yang was granted the opportunity to compete fairly with Chenxi Riluo on equal footing. The sole distinction was that neither side's attack targeted the opponent's physical body, but rather their most cherished cultivation belief. Should one side emerge victorious, the defeated party would very likely experience a complete collapse of their spiritual foundation as a result of this battle.

As Shi Lingyun finished speaking, Xu Yang's incredibly powerful strike had reached its conclusion. The Law of Light was shattered into pieces, yet its enhancement effect on Chenxi Riluo's light attribute did not completely vanish. In other words, although Xu Yang shattered this totem, thereby proving his strength, Chenxi Riluo's opportunity to turn the tide remained.

"Hahahaha, your strength is truly formidable, Xu Yang. It's a pity you're not a deity; otherwise, you would be my most perfect adversary. Unfortunately, it's now my turn to attack. You must make the most flawless arrangements, or with the slightest misstep, everyone behind you will be reduced to ash. For this strike, I won't lock onto your aura, but I will unleash my strongest power without reservation. As long as you survive, I can dispose of the others as I please; their fate now rests in your hands."

Chenxi Riluo's declaration unequivocally revealed his stance, and his impending assault would undoubtedly be a crucial life-or-death battle!

"God of Light, bestow upon me boundless luminous power!"

This time, everyone was stunned by Chenxi Riluo's actions, as they witnessed him unleash his supreme divine artifact: the Sword of Light!

"Good heavens, does this fellow have no professional integrity? He's using a primary divine artifact against us mortals! This is absolutely despicable and shameless!"

Long Kun was utterly dumbfounded, unable to suppress his complaints. Ling Yao, standing beside him, scoffed at him disdainfully. "Initially, I thought that grey-haired old man was rather harsh with his words, but now, I truly wish he would suddenly appear before us and deliver a blistering tirade; that would be truly gratifying!"

The instant the mighty Sword of Light descended, the entire void began to tremble intensely from its fluctuating aura. Simultaneously, the fragmented Laws of Light scattered around rapidly merged into the Sword of Light, channeling energy for its unparalleled, ultimate strike.

"Everyone, heed my command! Do not allow your boss to confront this power alone. At your current level, even a brilliant prodigy like your boss cannot possibly achieve cross-realm combat. Although Chenxi Riluo lacks integrity, his strength is undeniably among the elite of the God Realm, transcending your level by more than one tier. This divine judgment requires a collective effort from all of you to have any hope of overcoming the crisis."
