Chapter 973: Overlord

"You bastards! How dare you trick me! Everyone, attack with me! Let's tear these guys to shreds!" The second-in-command immediately gave the order to slaughter them. However, at that very moment, Liszt subtly twisted the ring on his finger.

In an instant, the dozens of fallen powerhouses who had just been disintegrated into ash by the Clown's phantom form suddenly reappeared as undead spirits and soul bodies.

Each undead soul body was, in fact, a second reincarnation of the fresh souls that had just been extinguished on the battlefield. However, after their rebirth, their souls no longer retained a normal human form but were transformed into truly unforgivable undead.

These undead were devoid of emotion; their sole purpose was to obey Liszt's summons and commands. "Boss! Let me show you the power of my undead army; we can't let the Clown hog all the glory!"

As expected, Liszt unleashed his mental power, and the dozens of undead began to wreak havoc throughout the cave.

Each undead's combat prowess was elevated by more than one level compared to the cultivation level of their corresponding soul when it was alive.

Consequently, the powerful members of the Marauder Legion, who were originally at the peak of the Green Realm, transformed into formidable Blue-tier Novice Undead after their demise. They then began a frenzied slaughter within the cave.

This move instantly threw the entire Marauder Legion's internal formation into disarray.

In their desperation, the various commanders lost their composure.

They had never imagined that the Glory Team, led by Xu Yang, possessed such terrifying combat capabilities.

They unleashed their most powerful abilities without hesitation. Auras of various colors erupted from their bodies, demonstrating immense spiritual energy.

However, at this very moment, Xu Yang, as the absolute core of the team, powerfully unleashed his anger.

He placed his palms directly on the golden wire cage before him, and with a single upward thrust, an incredibly powerful aura burst forth.

The sturdy cage was instantly shattered to pieces.

What followed was a one-sided slaughter orchestrated by Xu Yang's Glory Team.

Like lions freed from their cages, the seven individuals charged off in different directions.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of people across the island became their adversaries, and a fresh wave of bloodshed and massacre unfolded.

No one could withstand the might of Xu Yang's Glory Team; even thousands of elite warriors standing before them found it impossible to gain any advantage.

Liszt's undead army grew in number, leaving the enemy with no means of defense or retaliation.

Immediately afterward, the Clown resumed his game of tormenting others. His constantly appearing cursed phantom bodies subjected the ill-intented pirates to an experience worse than death.

The Pranciss couple, on the other hand, made few movements, only occasionally intervening. Throughout the entire ordeal, they never allowed the blood from the fallen bodies to stain their magnificent attire.

Ironically, Xu Yang became the most relaxed member. As one of the two most powerful individuals in the team, his only worthy targets were the five main leaders.

However, one thing still puzzled Xu Yang.

The Marauder Legion was already on the verge of collapse, yet their true leader, who was supposedly hiding behind the scenes, had still not appeared.

"Tell me, Ximen Hai, why hasn't your team's leader shown up yet? Is he just going to let us continue this massacre?"

Ximen Hai sneered, "You'll find out the answer soon enough! The only thing I can tell you is that when our true leader appears, all of you will perish here."

Soon after, thousands of warriors from various factions succumbed to the Glory Team's relentless slaughter.

The ponds across the island were stained crimson with blood.

At that very instant, from the deepest part of the pond, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted – the roar of a beast.

Xu Yang's Glory Team instinctively halted their movements, their attention drawn to the far end of the pond. It was then they saw a colossal Azure Dragon suddenly emerge from its depths.

"So that's it! You, this colossal creature from the water, are the leader of this Marauder Legion!"

The Azure Dragon's head alone measured a hundred meters, yet its body was not as massive as one might expect, appearing almost less substantial than its head.

Nevertheless, everyone understood that its head alone was capable of delivering a fatal blow to any opponent.

The Blue-tier peak realm sea overlord — this creature certainly possessed considerable power.

Xu Yang, however, let out a cold laugh. "Don't worry! I'll take care of him. The rest of you can handle the others at your leisure."

Xu Yang had immense confidence in his teammates. Without further hesitation, he stepped into the air, simultaneously locking his aura onto the Azure Dragon leader before him.

"What a powerful aura! You are a mighty expert from the desolate fringes of the world!"

The Azure Dragon immediately recognized Xu Yang's extraordinary origins. After it stated this fact, Xu Yang did not deny it.

"Impressive, my friend, you actually figured that out!"

"Excellent! I'm most intrigued by extra-terrestrial powerhouses like you, hailing from the desolate fringes! I'm eager to discover the taste difference between your flesh and that of these local warriors."

Xu Yang, however, burst into laughter. "Since you're so confident, how about I give you a chance to devour me? I've suddenly decided to try a completely new approach."

The Azure Dragon didn't hesitate, suddenly opening its gaping maw. An incredibly fierce devouring force erupted from its mouth, directly targeting Xu Yang's body.

In moments, it swallowed his comparatively tiny body into its belly.

"Oh my god! That can't be happening, can it? Boss, he was swallowed so easily by the Azure Dragon. Nothing serious happened, did it?"

Liszt, Grugas, and the others from the Glory Team instinctively shivered. They were well aware of Xu Yang's power, but this Azure Dragon before them was truly formidable!

This creature was clearly a top-tier deep-sea behemoth, an overlord. From their perspective, Xu Yang's actions seemed somewhat overconfident.

Yet, in the very next moment, as everyone watched the Azure Dragon's abdomen get violently ripped open, forming a bloody gash, Xu Yang emerged completely unharmed from its massive body. He then reappeared in the air, gazing coldly down at the Azure Dragon below.

As he watched blood gush from its body, he couldn't help but burst into mocking laughter. "Is that all you're capable of? And you dared to boast in front of me? That's truly pathetic. I already gave you one chance; you won't get a second!"
