Chapter 749: The Deterrent Power of the World-Destroying Sword

Xu Yang couldn't be bothered with further words, a cold curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"I believe that before I accept your so-called trial, I should first take down an arrogant fellow like you."

With a rumble, Xu Yang pointed a finger towards the void. Countless sword energies, like ten thousand blades, rained down simultaneously, as if at that moment, Xu Yang was the master of all sword souls between heaven and earth. Under his spiritual guidance, they furiously attacked the gigantic purplish-black dragon head before him.

The old dragon's defense was truly incredible. He made no moves, didn't even activate a protective aura, but simply used his tough physical hide to withstand the power of countless sword energies.

"Not bad. Your strength can be considered among the best within the current Universal System. However, if this is the extent of your power, you are far from qualified to teach me a lesson."

The old dragon made no further moves. In fact, his actual body had yet to appear; only this enormous, semi-illusory dragon head floated imposingly before Xu Yang.

Suddenly, the old dragon opened its cavernous mouth. No power was expelled; instead, a profound and potent devouring force, like a black hole, instantly locked onto Xu Yang's body. It immediately began to devour his physical essence. At that moment, Xu Yang felt his soul and body being violently torn apart, as if the old dragon were completely separating them. The process of resisting this devouring force was incredibly painful.

Xu Yang had encountered countless formidable opponents, always managing to subdue them. However, facing this colossal Ancestral Dragon head, it was the first time Xu Yang clenched his teeth, a flicker of pain crossing his face.

"As expected of an Ancestral Dragon level powerhouse. Such a devouring force would likely tear apart another person's body and soul in an instant. Fortunately, I now possess another combat system based on primal power. Otherwise, dealing with such a tough opponent would be incredibly difficult."

Xu Yang abruptly opened his eyes. All eight Qi vortexes within his body began to spin simultaneously. At that moment, a special deep green primal energy wave began to emanate from Xu Yang, and its emergence once again deeply astonished Xiaohua and the Empress behind him.

The elder had previously mentioned that when he activated all eight Qi vortexes simultaneously, he had already cultivated that specific technique for tens of thousands of years. Yet, Xu Yang, having only had contact with primal power for less than half a year, had already reached such a formidable level.

Such talent was truly unmatched by anyone else. When all eight Qi vortexes activated simultaneously, the primal energy glow they released demonstrated immense power in both offense and defense.

At the very same moment, the dormant essence within countless cells of Xu Yang's body rapidly activated. His innate vital energy also circulated with almost frenzied intensity, and the aura released with each rotation burned wildly in the form of this energy glow.

"Excellent. Your primal power foundation has already surpassed everyone I've seen before. The oppressive force generated by all eight Qi vortexes operating simultaneously is indeed extraordinary."

Within moments, Xiaohua and the Empress felt immense spatial pressure. What was truly astonishing, however, was that Xu Yang, while wielding such tremendous power, had not completely destroyed the entire underground palace. This indicated that his mastery of primal power had reached a divine level.

"My heavens! It's hard to imagine what kind of opponent A-Yang is facing right now, or what that great dragon's true identity is! For A-Yang to activate all eight Qi vortexes, I'd estimate that a single punch from him right now could instantly kill one of the Four Great Divine Generals of the God Realm!"

Empress Isis nodded repeatedly. "Such power is simply beyond what ordinary people in the God Realm can contend with. A-Yang doesn't even need any cultivation techniques; he can crush everything with the sheer pressure of his aura alone."

Xu Yang, however, knew very well that even with his current formidable state, it was still far from enough to defeat the massive purplish-black head before him.

Finally, Xu Yang's Jade Bone Divine Sword materialized once more, hovering in mid-air before him.

Simultaneously, as the eight Qi vortexes within his body burned, Xu Yang's mind also activated the Sleeve Universe divine ability. At this moment, the Jade Bone Divine Sword completely vanished into the void, its precise location undetectable even by the purplish-black dragon head before him.

"Oh? You… you actually possess such a skill? That's truly incredible! I even suspect you might be an incarnation of some will from the Universal System. Otherwise, to possess so many top-tier abilities is astonishing, making you far stronger than even Fenghuo Wuji was in his prime."

The enormous purplish-black dragon head showered Xu Yang with unreserved praise.

However, Xu Yang remained steadfast and unmoved by the compliments.

Although the Jade Bone Divine Sword had vanished into the void, it was still actively operating. Xu Yang's Sleeve Universe divine ability continuously superimposed and condensed immense power through the void, preparing a world-shattering strike.

With a sudden burst of extreme speed and a thunderous rumble, Xu Yang launched a punch, targeting the hardest part of the gigantic purplish-black dragon head's skull. The deep green energy emanating from his body carried the full force of this punch, serving as a probe before his most powerful attack.

With another muffled rumble, even the enormous purplish-black dragon head visibly jolted from the impact of that punch.

Xu Yang's punch had been powerful enough to instantly obliterate any primordial spiritual seed. Yet, striking the massive dragon head, the creature merely gave a comical shake of its head before regaining its formidable spiritual awareness.

"It's been a long time since anyone delivered an impact with such intensity. The power of your punch is comparable to Fenghuo Wuji's strength during his prime! But as I said before, if you intend to suppress me and fulfill that arrogant promise you just made, this is clearly still far from enough."

Xu Yang sneered, "I've never broken my word. If I can't completely suppress you today, I'll never take this divine artifact, Fenghuo Wuji!"

"I've stated before that no one speaks to me with a tone of judgment, and I absolutely will not tolerate a relationship like the one you and Fenghuo Wuji shared back then. You will either submit to me or obliterate me; there is no other option."

"Hahahaha, good, very good. Your aura is even more powerful than Fenghuo Wuji's was back then! I like it. I hope you don't disappoint me. If you can truly suppress me, perhaps that wouldn't be such a bad outcome. What I would hate to see more, by comparison, is you losing before me."
