Chapter 750: Old God King Reappears

Xu Yang still didn't unleash his world-shaking sword strike. Instead, he took a step that astounded everyone: he forcefully activated the ninth Qi vortex.

When Xu Yang left the cave, he could only activate up to the eighth Qi vortex. Now, he was performing an almost heaven-defying feat, making all eight Qi vortexes spin simultaneously. Theoretically, this was the absolute limit his body could withstand. Yet, he still wasn't satisfied, forcefully pushing to break through to the even more astounding realm of operating nine Qi vortexes at once!

"Young man, are you willing to sacrifice your life just to conquer me? If nine Qi vortexes operate simultaneously, your body's load will become unbearable, and the power unleashed will destroy everything here. Are you sure you want to do this? If this energy gets out of control, not only will this place completely collapse, but your two teammates behind you will also be affected."

Xu Yang burst out laughing. "I'm never reckless. Since I dared to do this, I'm absolutely certain of success. You're not scared, are you, old dragon?"

The immense pride on Xu Yang's face deeply shocked the colossal purplish-black dragon head before him. It had never encountered a mortal body from outside the myriad heavens' system that possessed such a domineering aura.

Finally! The ninth Qi vortex was forcefully activated. From Xu Yang's pupils, two incredibly clear silver beams of light uncontrollably burst forth. Under the embrace of this light, the faint halo around the colossal purplish-black dragon head vanished, revealing the dragon head's complete outline to Xu Yang and his two companions.

"So that's it. The reason we couldn't get a clear view before was because this old dragon used a special method to shield its physical body's connection to the entire space. Now, Ah Yang's aura has shattered the halo around the old dragon, allowing its full form to appear before us."

The old dragon didn't possess the long, sprawling body one might imagine. Instead, its enormous head alone accounted for nearly two-thirds of its total area and volume. The rest of its body behind the head was strangely proportioned and very small.

"Hahahaha, I never thought you'd have such a huge head and such a tiny body. Do all dragons in your fantasy world look like this?"

The colossal purplish-black dragon head let out a few hoarse, cold laughs. "Soon, young man, you won't find my appearance strange anymore."

As expected, with the disappearance of the halo, the purplish-black dragon's aura underwent a striking transformation. All the purple light gradually gave way to pure black.

During this process, a very strange power fluctuation emerged from the dragon's body. This power did not belong to the myriad heavens' system at all; it was a realm capable of elevating defense to an entirely different level, appearing more like a shimmering aura attached to its surface.

However, both the Empress and Little Hua clearly sensed that this seemingly fragile halo was infinitely more powerful than any defensive technique within the myriad heavens' plane system.

"Now, I am ready. Unleash your strongest power! If you can break this protective halo around me, it will prove you've won, and I will willingly submit to you, even becoming your sacrificial beast!"

"Haha, your words put my mind at ease! Get ready to receive my attack!"

The next instant, Xu Yang closed his eyes again. His "Sleeve Universe" divine ability completed its ultimate feedback with his soul's origin.

The light of the Jade Bone Divine Sword also projected perfectly within Xu Yang's soul world.

At this moment, the void where the Jade Bone Divine Sword resided had undergone a tenfold amplification. This meant that the power unleashed by Xu Yang's world-shaking sword strike would ultimately be amplified tenfold.

This was also the strongest spiritual power amplification Xu Yang had gained after simultaneously activating nine Qi vortexes, representing the absolute limit of the power he could currently unleash.

What does a tenfold amplification mean?

Normally, when Xu Yang unleashed the true sword light of the Jade Bone Divine Sword, he could easily shatter the protective aura of one of the Divine Realm's Four Divine Generals.

Amplifying this power tenfold meant that Xu Yang could effortlessly eliminate any expert below the Divine King level in the Divine Realm.

At this moment, Xu Yang intended to use this ultimate power to conquer the Ancestral Dragon before him.

"Brace yourself!"

In an instant, as Xu Yang's Jade Bone Divine Sword once again tore through the void, locking onto the colossal purplish-black head, the immense pressure utterly shocked Little Hua and the Empress.

"My heavens! How did he achieve such power? With this one sword strike, even the God-Sealing Order left by my father might not remain intact. This is truly an apocalypse-level sword, comparable to the limits of the myriad heavens' system."

The two goddesses exchanged glances, their eyes filled with terror.

What astounded them even more was that such terrifying sword energy could be completely focused into a single point under Xu Yang's spiritual control, without affecting the surrounding cramped underground space in the slightest.

Ultimate control, ultimate power reserves, and an ultimate soul form.

Little Hua and the Empress finally realized why the master of primal power had regarded Xu Yang so highly before. His talent could no longer be simply described as "talent."

As the Ancestral Dragon had just stated, Xu Yang might truly be an embodiment of the myriad heavens' consciousness; otherwise, how could he have grown to such an astonishing extent?

The Ancestral Dragon suddenly raised its massive head, casting an incredibly serious glance at the sword light above, and then let out a steady laugh once more.

"I believe you have won. When you could unleash this ultimate sword strike, you had already proven everything. The power of this strike is something even Feng Huo Wuji from back then, or even the primal power expert who defeated him, could not withstand."

Xu Yang revealed a satisfied smile. However, at that moment, he finally realized that the continuous high-speed operation of the nine Qi vortexes within him was consuming his physical strength to an alarming degree. He knew very well that if this power were allowed to flow unchecked any longer, he might lose control of this apocalypse-level sword strike at any moment.

Xu Yang's arms had begun to tremble, and his legs seemed unsteady. He was exerting all his might to control this apocalypse-level sword strike.

"Stop, young man, you've won! Old Dragon, I told you this day would eventually come!"

Suddenly, an incredibly profound voice resonated through the space.

"Father!!"

The Empress cried out, utterly thrilled. At that very moment, she almost lost control, frantically rushing towards the heart of the battle, the interior of the secret chamber where Xu Yang and the Ancestral Dragon were locked in combat.

Seeing the girl's uncontrollable actions, Xu Yang's emotions flared, causing his spiritual power to waver again. At that moment, he finally unleashed the divine artifact treasure box without hesitation, momentarily freezing the void.
