Chapter 762: Triumphant Return

The grey-haired old man immediately approached, his smile tinged with bitterness.

“How are things on your end, Senior Grey-hair? By your expression, it seems you’ve taken quite a hit!”

The old man sighed helplessly. “One-third of my controlled corpse puppets were destroyed in this battle. The Ghost Path’s cultivation method is quite unique; it seems capable of summoning endless ghost-path eye spirits. Their attributes perfectly counter my corpse puppets, and each of the Yin soldiers unleashed by the Ghost Path possesses formidable combat power.”

Earlier, the main army led by the Prince’s faction also suffered heavy casualties, ambushed by the Ghost Path army before even reaching the plain battlefield.

Xu Yang smiled and waved his hand. “Don’t worry, leave this to me. Take your remaining warriors back to the other battle zones.”

“What did you say? Sir, are you going to confront the entire Ghost Path army by yourself?”

The grey-haired old man was, of course, well aware of Xu Yang’s strength, yet he was still utterly astonished when Xu Yang announced such a decision.

“Don’t worry, I’m not fighting alone. Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used for a single moment. It’s about time these guys came out and stretched their legs.”

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand towards the battlefield. Countless Eight Hundred Divine Demon powerhouses swiftly materialized. With the emergence of these formidable combatants, the grey-haired old man finally let out a long sigh of relief.

“Hahaha, Sir, if you hadn’t summoned them, I might have honestly forgotten they even existed! With the help of these top-tier Divine Demons, you can truly unleash your full power, and I’ll have absolutely nothing to worry about. We’ll meet again on the plain battlefield then!”

The grey-haired old man ascended into the sky. After being imbued with the Divine Essence of Gita, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. While still a long way from reaching the ‘Ask Heaven’ realm, his current combat abilities were vastly superior to his former self.

The Eight Hundred Divine Demons, alongside Xu Yang, an unparalleled supreme powerhouse, formed a legion that, upon appearing, immediately launched a relentless slaughter against the seemingly endless enemies before them.

“Hahaha, you trash! How dare you act so brazenly before me!”

With a flick of Xu Yang’s finger, endless streams of sword light under the starry sky continuously struck these ghostly entities. Yet, as the grey-haired old man had mentioned, the Yin soldiers unleashed by the Ghost Path were not so easily obliterated.

Initially, Xu Yang was somewhat surprised to see these Yin soldiers revive after being struck, unable to grasp their true nature in such a short time.

However, this situation didn’t last long. After all Eight Hundred Divine Demons surged onto the battlefield, Xu Yang quickly drew a conclusion: these Yin soldiers could be repeatedly reused because they lacked complete life forms. Instead, they were purely formed from the convergence of primeval offensive power, and the essence of their power was the ‘sealed essence’ within the bodies of top powerhouses from outside the Ghost Path.

“I understand now. These entities are in a special dark space, using a form of absorption to reassemble and fuse more Yin soldiers, creating Ghost Path warriors that are few in number but incredibly powerful. These endless Yin soldiers are actually emanations from those individual Ghost Path warriors.”

Once he understood this, Xu Yang immediately ascended into the sky and unleashed his Law of the Luminous Body without hesitation.

As a supreme Law of Light, capable of rivaling even the pursuit of heaven, the moment this power descended, the endless Yin soldiers swiftly disintegrated under its purifying light.

“Damn it, this guy Xu Yang possesses the legacy of an angel. Such a person is not someone we can afford to provoke. Retreat quickly, otherwise our casualties will be even greater!”

From a dark corner in the void, an incredibly hoarse voice suddenly rang out, quickly reaching a consensus with several other top warriors within the Yin soldier ranks.

After these individuals unified their soul information, they immediately chose to withdraw from the battlefield. As the puppet resources that unleashed the Yin soldiers retreated, the ghost soldiers on the battlefield, affected by the Law of the Luminous Body, lost their ability to revive. They quickly disintegrated completely, vanishing into nothingness.

“My heavens, I can’t believe our team possesses such an extraordinary individual! Had a peerless expert of this caliber not appeared, I doubt any of us would have survived this battle.”

Not far away, the Ancient Xia Dynasty warriors, who hadn’t yet fully retreated from the edge of the battlefield, were utterly captivated by Xu Yang and the performance of the Eight Hundred Divine Demon powerhouses behind him. They were completely overwhelmed by this display of power.

Imperceptibly, more and more Ancient Xia Dynasty warriors shifted their reverence from their Prince to Xu Yang’s team, some even adopting Xu Yang as their true object of faith.

No one could remain calm in the face of such power.

Because the abilities Xu Yang wielded transcended the limits of their comprehension.

Who could have imagined that these stubborn ghost soldiers—whom they had fought so desperately to kill, only for them to revive and continue fighting—would instantly turn to dust under the purifying power of one of Xu Yang’s laws?

Such a scene was beyond the wildest dreams of these Ancient Xia Dynasty warriors, yet it had become a reality at Xu Yang’s hands.

After this successful strike, the Eight Hundred Divine Demons behind Xu Yang immediately began to clear the battlefield further, completely obliterating all Ghost Path warriors lurking in the vicinity.

As the pressure on all four battlefields was simultaneously lifted, good news also reached the Prince at the Ancient Xia Dynasty’s main camp.

“Reporting, Your Highness! Lord Xu Yang has returned. He has completely cleared all pressure from our four separate battle zones. Now, our main forces from all sides have entered the plain battlefield and are engaging in a true positional confrontation with the allied armies of the four enemy dynasties.”

Upon hearing this news, the Prince was so overjoyed he was nearly beside himself. Had Xu Yang not stopped him, he would have certainly knelt and worshipped Xu Yang with utmost respect.

“Sir, your cultivation is truly unparalleled. With the strength of just one person, you have completely reversed the battle landscape among our five great dynasties. I believe that once this war concludes, you should become the sole leader of our five great dynasties!”

Xu Yang shook his head, his gaze serious as he looked at the Prince.

“The reason I joined your team is my trust in your abilities and personal charisma. The five great dynasties must be unified and managed by you; only then can I believe this path will lead to a brighter future. If it were entrusted to someone else, I would truly be uneasy.”

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, a wave of warmth flowed through the Prince’s heart.

“Sir, you don’t have to agree to my request, but please, I earnestly ask that you allow me to become your disciple. I’ve heard that on the battlefield, you are unparalleled and invincible, and that the power you wield is not merely your own, but a legacy from our primordial power system!”

Xu Yang had not initially intended to tell the Prince about this, but since the other party already knew, he briefly recounted his unique experience of entering the Watchtower Galaxy with Xiao Hua and the Empress.

“Hahaha, it seems, Sir, you are truly destined to have such a deep connection with our Primordial Continent!”

Xu Yang shook his head with a wry smile. “I’ve never believed in concepts like fate or destiny. I simply understand that I must align myself with like-minded individuals, and you, Prince, are precisely such a perceptive person.”
