Chapter 826: Desert Cave Heaven

"So, if I wanted to end this conflict on my own someday, it would still be difficult?"

Yunxiao smiled and shook her head, "While your strength is indeed formidable, and perhaps no one in Yingzhou Continent can match you, such a victory for you alone would lead to the complete destruction of the four major domains of Yingzhou Continent!"

"What you don't know is that within the five major domains of Yingzhou Continent, a special power is hidden, and its core is entirely controlled by the Central Domain Imperial Family. If this power is activated prematurely, the four major domains—East, West, North, and South—will face an unimaginable catastrophe of land upheaval! The Imperial Family of the Central Domain possesses the means to destroy everything on the continent. If any lineage from the four domains threatens them, they will unleash this power without hesitation to eliminate them."

"If you reveal your goals and ambitions before uniting the four major domains, the Imperial Family will not hesitate to make the countless inhabitants of those domains pay the price for your actions! They don't care about the lives of these people. This is the unique rule of survival in Yingzhou Continent: everything must serve the Imperial Family as the primary principle."

"Otherwise, do you think that with so many alliances in the four major domains, if they truly united, they couldn't eliminate those loyal to the Imperial Family in minutes? The truth is not that simple. The power controlled by the Imperial Family has long been able to dictate the fate of all beings in Yingzhou Continent. Therefore, if you cannot unite all four major domains, do not even think about challenging the Imperial Family's authority. This matter must not be rushed."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, each of the four major domains harbors a very special unknown land. It is rumored that deep within these four unknown lands, there are means to counter the destructive power of those loyal to the Imperial Family. If, one day, you can truly unify all four major domains, you might be able to open up those unknown lands, gain infinite power, and only then will you be able to represent the countless beings of Yingzhou Continent and completely overthrow the Imperial Family's rule."

After listening to Yunxiao's words, Xu Yang suddenly felt as if he had been on this continent for hundreds or thousands of years, immediately clarifying his subsequent goals and direction.

"Thank you, Yunxiao. Telling me all this is an immense help. With you by my side, I believe we are not far from finding Wuyue Tian."

Thus, after completely winning over Yunxiao, Xu Yang spent another month further integrating the core forces of various alliances within the Northern Domain. The elite forces at his command, available for immediate deployment, had reached five hundred thousand! Although most of these individuals were originally enforcers loyal to the Imperial Family, they had now been completely indoctrinated by Xu Yang's will, becoming absolute loyalists serving only him. During this period, Xu Yang also did not abandon the idea of searching for the unknown lands within the Northern Domain, hoping to quickly find the strongest power capable of countering the Central Domain Imperial Family.

"Sect Master," Elder Tan immediately reported the news to Xu Yang at headquarters, "members dispatched by the Shadow Sect have sent back a message. In the Lian Tian Desert in the southwestern part of the Northern Domain, they found a very special spatial area. The temporal rules there seem to be significantly different from other places on Yingzhou Continent, resembling an independently existing unknown space. It might even be the place we've been looking for." Xu Yang and Yunxiao studied the information for a while and finally decided to personally go to that unknown land to investigate.

To keep their presence discreet and avoid alerting anyone, Xu Yang brought only Yunxiao with him on this trip to the extremely dangerous location.

The vast desert was immense! However, Xu Yang and Yunxiao were formidable beings, two true Heavenly Martial-level experts. Traveling through the air, they reached the designated area in a short amount of time.

"It seems we must first clear away the cover of the endless yellow sand to see the true secret beneath."

Yunxiao was also exceptionally clever; after all, she was a secret agent personally sent by Prince Xingshen, and naturally, she was one of Yun Du's top experts. Teaming up with Xu Yang made their actions remarkably efficient.

Standing proudly atop the clouds, she linked her hands, and an incredibly exquisite crystal construct swiftly appeared! Incredibly powerful, sky-blue ripples of light slowly spread around her body, quickly covering a large portion of the endless yellow sand below. The surging water currents quickly dispersed the endless yellow sand, washing away all the concealment around the entrance to the unknown land in the center. A circular formation gate thus appeared before the two of them.

"It seems that gaining your allegiance was truly the most correct decision I've made since arriving in Yingzhou Continent. With you by my side, everything feels incredibly easy."

Hearing Xu Yang say this, Yunxiao was also very happy. After spending more time with the girl, Xu Yang realized she wasn't as shrewd as he had initially thought. She could treat anyone she wished to befriend with genuine sincerity. However, if she encountered someone she truly disliked, she could equally put on a frosty demeanor, keeping them at a distance.

"Found it, this teleportation portal!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Xu Yang instantly pointed into the void, unleashing countless energy strikes that crashed down, and in a single blow, they tore a gaping, jagged opening in the circular teleportation portal. Xu Yang and Yunxiao exchanged a glance. Simultaneously, both transformed into streaks of ethereal light and swiftly vanished through the jagged opening at the end of the main gate. The view ahead was pitch black, but after a moment, their senses gradually returned, and they discovered that behind this formation gate lay an entirely different realm—a completely independent pocket dimension!

"It looks like this unknown land is similar to the Angelic Kingdom that was previously hidden within Night Cold Mountain."

"What a strong surge of spiritual energy! This place seems to be an excellent spot for cultivation. Moreover, the spatial laws here are completely opposite to those of Yingzhou Continent, and they also appear to differ from the systems of the myriad worlds."

Yunxiao's words quickly resonated with Xu Yang.

"Indeed, the spatial laws of this unknown land are quite bizarre; even I have never encountered anything like them."

As Xu Yang spoke, he gently waved his hand towards the void, instantly conjuring a protective angelic light around himself and Yunxiao. This powerful energy provided an additional layer of defense, preventing them from being ambushed by any hidden special methods within this space. Based on Xu Yang's many years of cultivation experience, the safer a place appeared, the more terrifying the dangers it often concealed.

Sure enough, no sooner had Xu Yang finished speaking than a terrifying beast roar erupted hysterically from the depths of this mysterious space.

"Insignificant humans, how dare you trespass into the unknown land! What crime is this?!"
