Chapter 746: Who Is the Traitor

Xu Yang proudly retracted his Jade Bone Divine Sword, gazing at the gradually shattering divine spark with a soft sigh.

"Xuan Yuan Gang, it's not that their divine sparks were too weak. If they were living gods, I believe their strength wouldn't be much less than yours. It's simply because you forcefully imprisoned their souls. Subjectively, they no longer wished to do anything for you. Thus, the moment I showed my intent to attack, their souls sensed it and voluntarily gave up resistance, making them incredibly fragile. Ultimately, you are the source of their weakness."

Xuan Yuan Gang was now consumed by extreme rage, falling into a near-frenzied state, mindlessly unleashing power from his divine spark. The other three puppets also began to exhibit the same negative emotions as the Moon Dew Goddess had moments earlier. As a result, Xu Yang didn't need much effort to shatter the remaining three foreign ascensions in Xuan Yuan Gang's possession one by one. In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yuan Gang's only remaining source of power was his own divine spark.

"Hehehe, how do you feel now? Do you sense a profound powerlessness? You must understand that everything you're facing today is your own doing. Arrogance and blind self-importance are the root causes of your downfall."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he suddenly shot into the air and stomped on Xuan Yuan Gang's head. Potent primeval energy surged wildly from his body as five energy vortices activated simultaneously, almost raising Xu Yang's primeval power output to its peak.

Xuan Yuan Gang was pinned down by Xu Yang's foot on his head, unable to offer any resistance. Before long, his final protective aura was completely eradicated by Xu Yang. His entire body was forcefully pressed deep into the battlefield ground, literally ground into the soil by Xu Yang's foot.

Such an ordeal would be fatal to any God Clan powerhouse. At this moment, cracks had appeared in Xuan Yuan Gang's Dao heart. Even if Xu Yang let him go now, Xuan Yuan Gang would forever lose his reputation as one of the Four Divine Generals and would never amount to anything significant again. This was because his inner spirit had been utterly conquered by Xu Yang's overwhelming power, making it impossible for him to achieve Dao enlightenment ever again.

"If you have the guts, kill me now! What kind of skill is it to humiliate me like this?"

Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh. "Humiliating you is precisely my greatest skill. I do this to make you understand that anyone who is conceited will only face one outcome before me, Xu Yang: utter defeat."

As Xu Yang spoke, he suddenly caused the Jade Bone Divine Sword in his hand to float menacingly above Xuan Yuan Gang's head.

"Now, I'll give you one last chance to make a choice. If you want to keep your life, tell me who ordered you to enter the Watcher Heavenly River."

Xuan Yuan Gang gave a cold laugh. "Is that even a question? Of course, it was His Majesty the Divine King. However, I don't know where he got the information from. I heard it was someone from the Five Great Dynasties who came to report it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang immediately understood. The person who leaked the information about the Ten Directions Valley must have been the one who helped them three break the barrier defense.

"I can't believe that person turned out to be a traitor. Now it seems the reason he acted so righteously was because he was fundamentally a spy for the God Clan, not some Elder from the Five Great Dynasties as he claimed."

Little Flower's assessment immediately received the Empress's approval.

"You're right," she said. "Besides him, no one else could have obtained such precise information in such a short time and directly mobilized the Four Divine Generals of the God Realm. Only someone who already possessed a God Clan identity could have made everything unfold so smoothly."

The Empress pondered for a moment, then finally clenched her fist.

"Throughout my life, I've hated nothing more than those who betray their masters. To think we even let that guy go! I honestly believed he would genuinely serve us, but now it seems he's the one who truly deserves to die."

Xu Yang smiled and nodded. "Congratulations on choosing the answer that pleases me. You don't have to die, but to neutralize the aura of this Human Butcher Domain, you should know what I must do."

Xuan Yuan Gang gasped, but he had no other choice. He calmly closed his eyes, clearly understanding that the only way to break this barrier judgment was to shatter his original divine spark.

*Rumble!* In an instant, Xu Yang's sword strike used an immense amount of his energy, completely shattering the precious divine spark within Xuan Yuan Gang's body. A terrifying sound of disintegration filled the air. All energy systems rapidly collapsed, and the marks of the Human Butcher Domain, which had been locked onto Xu Yang and Xuan Yuan Gang's souls, vanished.

After all was done, Xu Yang had no intention of further humiliating Xuan Yuan Gang. He suddenly stomped on the ground below, causing Xuan Yuan Gang's body to be forcefully dislodged from deep within the earth. At this moment, Xuan Yuan Gang lay limp on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for breath.

"This matter is concluded. I have more important things to do. As for whether you choose to perish here or return to the God Clan domain, that's up to you."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he immediately ascended into the air with the Empress and Little Flower, swiftly departing from the area.

Lying on the ground, Xuan Yuan Gang shed tears of pain. He had never dreamed that his battle with Xu Yang would result in such a miserable outcome. Yet, even at this moment, he had to admit that Xu Yang's strength far exceeded all predictions made by the entire God Clan. If Xu Yang continued to develop at this rate, the entire God Clan might one day be forced to submit to him.

"Boss, are we going to search for the divine artifact next?"

Empress Isis asked with a hint of excitement. After all, that divine artifact had been left by her father, Fenghuo Wuji, and it contained Fenghuo Wuji's immense power.

The three continued swiftly westward. Although Xu Yang wasn't sure of the exact location of the top-tier divine artifact imbued with the aura of Divine King Fenghuo Wuji, he could now use his powerful aura control ability to analyze and pinpoint the most turbulent aura within the entire Cloud Dream Heavenly River.

Not long after, the three made a more significant discovery. In a forest permeated by an eerie ice-blue aura, at the end of countless towering ancient trees shrouded in silver, Xu Yang and his companions found three ancient tombstones. They quickly landed and approached the tombstones. Upon closer inspection, the central tombstone was clearly inscribed with the four characters "Fenghuo Wuji"! The tombstone on the left outlined the form of an exquisitely crafted sword, while the one on the right was blank.
