Chapter 805: Divine Artifact Initially Displays Power

This was precisely why Xu Yang targeted the mustache on his face. Long before entering the Divine Capital Alliance's main city, the Shadow Master of the Five Heavenly Kings had already revealed all the important secrets about the man with the mustache to Xu Yang, ever since their first encounter. Xu Yang stated that the world was unaware his biggest secret was hidden in his mustache, but unfortunately, this information couldn't be kept from him. He added that while meeting him wasn't a mistake, blindly choosing to become his enemy certainly was.

The Wave Immortal and Sword Frenzy quickly shaved off all the dense whiskers from the man's face. They then handed the dark, thick stubble to Xu Yang. Xu Yang snapped his fingers, and the shaved whiskers, as if brought to life, floated out of their container and hung in mid-air, outlining a complete map.

Onlookers exclaimed their astonishment, realizing that the Fifth Alliance's mustached leader, widely known for his immense wealth and astounding financial resources, had hidden his vast fortune within his very mustache. They speculated that with this treasure map, A-Yang's future power would be incomparable to any other force within the major alliances of the Northern Region.

It was impossible to deny the envy among the onlookers. Xu Yang had effortlessly inherited the mustached man's vast fortune, a legendary treasure renowned as one of the most significant in the entire Northern Region. What was once the mustached man's private wealth now became Xu Yang's spoils of war.

Upon witnessing Xu Yang expose his greatest secret, the mustached man erupted in a furious outburst, his pupils instantly glowing a cold, blood-red. In a flash, his chaotic and collapsing meridians spontaneously unleashed an uncontrollable surge of power, allowing his body to instantly break free from Xu Yang's hold.

No longer appearing submissive and prostrated on the ground, the mustached man seemed to have undergone a mutation, his body and soul separating. Behind his damaged physical form, a massive black outline of a soul rapidly condensed, radiating an incredibly terrifying aura of slaughter. He declared that if he didn't reveal his true Ghost Domain form, Xu Yang would never truly understand his worth as the leader of the Fifth Alliance, the very thing that impressed everyone.

This, it turned out, was the mustached man's true trump card. Given his immense wealth and influence, he was always accompanied by extraordinary top bodyguards and escorts wherever he went. Consequently, few had ever witnessed the mustached man fight himself. Weaker individuals dared not provoke him, and the mustached man, in turn, avoided provoking those who were too powerful. Thus, despite his high position for many years, actual direct conflicts with the mustached man were rare, primarily due to his immense wealth and influence. Even the twenty thousand Fifth Alliance enforcers he had brought to the battle, few among them knew the true depth of the mustached man's power. All these mysteries were now revealed with the mustached man's complete outburst.

One of the onlookers commented on the powerful demonic soul aura, warning Xu Yang to be careful as the mustached man seemed far from simple. They observed that while his visible strength appeared ordinary, the appearance of the black soul entity behind him almost certainly meant his combat power surpassed even that of the Divine Capital Alliance leader, placing him among the top tier of leaders in the Northern Region.

Elder Tan's expression grew grim as he spoke, but Xu Yang, glancing at their faces, couldn't help but chuckle. Xu Yang laughed heartily, telling them they were truly scared. He reiterated his belief that a dog remains a dog; no matter how strong it grows, it cannot become a wolf. He added that since he could remove the man's mustache, he could naturally also remove his head.

As he spoke, Xu Yang calmly drew out the Phoenix Feather Qiankun Bow he had just acquired from the Divine Capital auction. Holding the bow in his left hand, he conjured an arrow from primal energy in the air with his right, placing it on the treasured bow. Xu Yang remarked that if the man hadn't suddenly gone berserk, he would have believed him to be merely a puppet of the true mustached leader, as his meager abilities made it seem impossible to firmly control the Fifth Alliance. "Now, it appears you do possess some inherent abilities," Xu Yang continued. "However, I will soon make you understand that your so-called capabilities are utterly insignificant to me. You'll make a perfect target to test the effects of this divine artifact I've just acquired."

Without further hesitation, Xu Yang's words barely faded before he drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and locked onto the mustached man's aura a short distance away. It was well known that Xu Yang was not particularly skilled at wielding long-range bow artifacts. Yet, as he gently drew the treasured bow to its full moon shape, his entire being and the divine artifact perfectly aligned, their aura fluctuations perfectly synchronized. To onlookers, Xu Yang at that moment appeared as a radiant deity, descending to punish the world's most profound evil. His intense focus at that moment was so profound that no amount of praise could adequately describe him. He was utterly flawless! Graceful, composed, confident, powerful...

Xu Yang then startlingly discovered that as his mental energy fully concentrated and locked onto the mustached man in the void nearby, the very laws of the battlefield underwent a dramatic transformation. Though the ambient energy of the laws was faint on Yingzhou Continent, it was not entirely absent. This energy swiftly transformed into a unique rhythm between Xu Yang and the heavens and earth, throbbing like the powerful heartbeat of an arrow, surging along a distinct trajectory. The mustached man had no other choice; his only option was to grit his teeth and brace himself against Xu Yang's imminent attack.

In an instant, Xu Yang released the incredibly brilliant arrow of primal power from his bowstring. As it shimmered with seven-colored light, all rhythms between heaven and earth completely ceased. All energies and auras yielded, clearing the path for Xu Yang's heaven-splitting arrow!

"Oh my god," exclaimed Lingwu, "Is this the Sect Master's true strength? I can't believe he's also an archery master; this is terrifying! Is there any skill or technique in this world that the Sect Master isn't proficient in?" Lingwu, a devoted fan, spoke again, cradling her delicate cheeks as she gazed in bewilderment at Xu Yang's flawless silhouette in the void. He seemed to become one with the bow, creating a power that transcended even the fusion of deities. Finally, the moment the heaven-breaking arrow soared through the void towards the mustached man's position, the winged dragon beneath him instantly exploded.
