Chapter 744: One Essence, Five Divinities

“I refuse to believe that my Divine Halberd artifact can't even shake your guardian qi!”

Embarrassingly, the more stubborn he was, the more he was humiliated. After several consecutive attempts, Xuanyuan Gang finally gave up in frustration. With anger in his eyes, he asked Xu Yang, “How did you do that? I’ve never seen such a powerful technique as your guardian qi!”

Xu Yang burst into laughter. “There’s a lot you haven’t seen, brother. You’d better give up that foolish idea quickly, or you’ll just keep getting humiliated in front of me.”

As Xu Yang spoke, he suddenly split the primal qi surrounding his body in two. He then re-condensed the golden-yellow vortex in his palm, forming an incredibly solid spherical wave of energy, which he abruptly launched towards Xuanyuan Gang, the Human Butcher.

Boom! An incredibly powerful explosion erupted instantly. This force literally blasted Xuanyuan Gang’s body over a hundred meters away.

“What kind of technique was that? I’ve never encountered anything like it!”

Xu Yang sneered and gave Xuanyuan Gang the middle finger. “I told you, there’s a lot you don’t understand. The moment you decided to lock the Human Butcher domain onto me, your fate was sealed.”

Boom! An unimaginable burst of power erupted, shattering Xuanyuan Gang’s armor with the golden-yellow energy. Even the Divine Halberd in his hand was almost blasted away.

It was well known that since his appointment as one of the Four Divine Generals of the God Realm, Xuanyuan Gang had participated in over a hundred missions and had never been in such a sorry state.

“You’ve truly made me angry, Xu Yang!”

“So what? You’re not as strong as me, yet you insist on attempting things beyond your capabilities.”

Xuanyuan Gang gritted his teeth, suddenly tearing off his shattered armor to reveal his bare upper body. At the same time, he plunged his Divine Halberd artifact into the ground with immense force. Then, his hands flashed rapidly in front of his chest, as if outlining a special rune. Soon, a dark-golden circular halo rapidly appeared on Xuanyuan Gang’s chest, right at the center of his body.

From this halo, powerful energy continuously emanated. Unbeknownst to many, Xuanyuan Gang was using this method to further alter the battlefield environment within the Human Butcher domain.

“This is the aura of a divine spark!”

As he intentionally released it, the dark-golden energy waves continuously increased in density, soon completely enveloping the entire Human Butcher battlefield domain.

“This might be a bit tricky now. Xuanyuan Gang is actually using the primal power of a divine spark to change the battlefield’s attributes. All the techniques he uses next will be significantly enhanced.”

Empress Isis clearly understood him better and couldn’t help but worry about Xu Yang.

However, it wasn’t long before Xu Yang’s actions completely dispelled the two goddesses’ concerns for him.

Under Xu Yang’s manipulation, all the dark-golden energy rapidly condensed into a single point in the center.

“I almost forgot to tell you, trying to change the battlefield attributes this way is simply impossible.”

The next moment, Xu Yang’s Jade Bone Divine Sword reappeared, piercing through the core of the condensed energy as if out of thin air, instantly shattering all the aura released by the golden-yellow divine spark.

“How is this possible?”

At this point, Xuanyuan Gang was starting to doubt his own existence due to Xu Yang’s attacks. It wasn’t that he feared Xu Yang’s pure power suppression, but rather that many of Xu Yang’s techniques were completely new to him. He had no idea how to counter them or how to defend against them, inexplicably falling into a rhythm of being suppressed by Xu Yang, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

At the same moment, the hundred-meter giant snake he had released earlier was already bruised and battered by the piranhas unleashed by Xu Yang.

The piranhas moved like lightning, frantically darting through the void. Every pause in their movement was an opportunity for them to attack the giant snake.

At this rate, after just a few dozen rounds, the giant snake began to struggle.

“Master, I’ve lost my combat ability. If I continue fighting like this, I fear I’ll truly perish here.”

“You useless creature! I’ve nurtured you for hundreds of thousands of years, and you’re completely worthless!”

The giant snake seemed enraged by Xuanyuan Gang’s words. It suddenly unleashed an incredibly virulent poison, completely filling every corner of the battlefield.

“What the hell are you doing? Are you crazy?!”

The giant snake couldn’t escape such agony; after all, its participation in battle was entirely controlled by Xuanyuan Gang. At that moment, with its master showing no regard for its life or death, the hundred-meter giant snake completely lost control. It began to recklessly counterattack the piranhas, but the price for this was the frantic depletion of its own primal life force.

“Hahahaha, you giant snake are truly straightforward! I was waiting for you to make exactly that decision!”

The piranha was far more powerful than the giant snake. The moment it became serious, its body, originally only a few meters in circumference, suddenly swelled dozens of times, transforming into a massive mound of flesh that pressed down furiously onto the hundred-meter giant snake.

The piranha’s action utterly terrified Xuanyuan Gang and the hundred-meter giant snake. Master and servant, both froze on the spot. In just a fleeting moment, the piranha had clamped its jaws tightly onto the giant snake’s neck, literally biting its head off.

Black blood gushed out wildly, and the piranha shamelessly began to bathe in the incredibly rich life essence contained within the snake’s blood.

“Although you’re a defeated opponent, I genuinely pity you, giant snake. Having such a master is truly your misfortune. If there’s a next life, you’d best find a more reliable master.”

These were the piranha’s final words to the hundred-meter giant snake. Immediately afterward, it began to frantically devour all of the giant snake’s blood essence.

Initially, Xuanyuan Gang had wanted to intervene, but once he realized his summoned beast had completely lost its life force, he fortunately stopped caring about it. Instead, he refocused his attention on continuing to draw upon the primal power of the divine sparks within him to attack Xu Yang.

“I refuse to believe that without that beast’s help, I’ll necessarily be at a disadvantage!”

After realizing that a single divine spark couldn’t pressure Xu Yang, Xuanyuan Gang immediately adjusted his tactics, simultaneously summoning a full five divine sparks!

Five dazzling divine lights simultaneously swirled in the void. Seeing this, Xiao Hua and the Empress were utterly stunned.

“My heavens, how did that guy do it? Controlling five divine sparks simultaneously is an unprecedented breakthrough! No wonder he’s qualified to be among the Four Divine Generals; he certainly has the ability.”

No sooner had Xiao Hua finished speaking than Empress Isis seemed to detect a peculiar clue about him.
