Chapter 1960: Three Great Commanders

Xu Yang immediately recognized that the three beams of light were all battle souls inherited from human cultivators. This meant that the combat power these three individuals currently wielded came entirely from the cultivation achievements of human cultivators, likely battle soul totems left behind by powerful human War Gods they had previously slain.

The battle soul totem of the person on the left was a towering tree, the one in the middle had an ancient giant horse, and the one on the far right had a genuine sea beast totem.

With a calm gaze, Xu Yang immediately discerned the combat systems of the three powerful individuals before him. The one on the left was undoubtedly a powerful control-type martial artist, the one in the middle was responsible for direct confrontation, while the person on the far right, with the sea saint totem, likely provided the most potent battlefield support. They could also be seen as playing a supportive role on the battlefield.

"All three of you come at once. That will save us both more time."

As Xu Yang spoke, he waved his palm, and the Cold Spring Divine Artifact instantly appeared before him. He intended to use this divine artifact to eliminate their three most powerful commanders in front of all the sea beast warriors below.

As expected, each time Xu Yang swung the sword, it unleashed an incredibly powerful ice-blue sealing aura. The terrifying freezing power immediately brought an unimaginable suppressive effect upon the three commanders.

"This guy's power is immense! Quickly unleash your strongest forms. If we continue to drag this out, nothing good will come of it for us."

The three commanders immediately recognized the potential threat Xu Yang posed and decisively entered their most powerful forms. The light from the battle soul totems behind each of them shone to its utmost, and continuous streams of martial energy rapidly emanated from their backs, forming three rings of power that pressed towards Xu Yang.

However, Xu Yang merely scoffed and, without hesitation, conjured a brilliant Tai Chi totem before him. The powerful devouring energy of the Tai Chi Way rapidly unleashed itself, confronting the endless onslaught of external forces.

Xu Yang simply used this Tai Chi totem to gather all the external forces and completely transform them through the unique system of the Tai Chi Way.

Soon, the immense power unleashed by the three individuals was completely refined into nothingness by Xu Yang's Tai Chi.

"I told you not to waste your efforts. With your strength, you don't have the right to be presumptuous in front of me. Quickly call your Eternal Night Emperor to come see me. Otherwise, not only you, but even the lives of these sea beast warriors below, could be taken with just a single swing of my sword if I wished."

To make his words more convincing, Xu Yang directly unleashed a palm strike downwards. A tremendously powerful explosion erupted, and large groups of sea beast powerhouses instantly turned to ash.

Afterward, Xu Yang ceased his attack on the three legion commanders before him. Instead, he slammed the Cold Spring Divine Artifact he held directly onto the city gate of the imperial palace below.

With another thunderous roar, the sword embedded itself in front of the colossal gateway, instantly freezing the palace gate into a massive block of ice. Then, under the influence of Xu Yang's mental power, the Cold Spring Divine Artifact let out an incredibly forceful sword body resonance, shattering the immense city wall structure completely.

It was known that the main city gate of the Eternal Night Empire could withstand the combined power of ten War God level experts' attacks, yet it was so vulnerable before Xu Yang.

The three commanders were utterly dumbfounded. The only thing they could do now was to display their strongest ultimate moves. Only then could they barely contend with Xu Yang for a single round.

However, just as they were about to fight to the death with Xu Yang to defend the honor of the Eternal Night Empire, an incredibly powerful mental force suddenly emanated from the far end of the imperial city-state.

"Since you are a friend from the Star Mark Empire, why not come into the palace for some tea and a chat? All this fighting is quite meaningless."

The purity of this mental force was astounding. Xu Yang could tell that this individual was likely at the pinnacle of the entire Ancient Martial God Path region, having reached the peak strength among all War God level experts.

At the very least, this Eternal Night Emperor was the most powerful opponent Xu Yang had encountered since arriving in this area. Even the priests of the dark forces could not be compared to this individual. It was precisely this level of powerhouse that could make Xu Yang's blood boil with excitement.

Xu Yang scoffed and waved his hand at the three commanders before him. They were instantly sent flying by the immense power, not even having the right to obstruct Xu Yang's advance. They could only watch helplessly as Xu Yang strode unhindered into the Eternal Night Empire's imperial palace.

When Xu Yang's silhouette reappeared, he was already in front of the main palace hall. The long-haired man dressed in black, sitting on the throne, exuded an air of profound arrogance.

It had to be admitted that this man indeed possessed the unbridled demeanor of a monarch with grand ambitions. Xu Yang instantly recognized his ambition: he unequivocally sought to rule the entire Ancient Martial God Path.

"If my guess is correct, you must be the one called Xu Yang. Your reputation has resounded like thunder throughout the Ancient Martial God Path, and I greatly admire your strength.

However, I didn't expect you to side with the Star Mark Empire and unite with several other empires to challenge our Eternal Night Empire."

Xu Yang smiled and nodded, not evading the other party's statement.

"Since you know everything, there's nothing for us to hide. Indeed, this is my objective, but my ultimate goal isn't to bring about the destruction of your Eternal Night Empire.

On one hand, I want to understand the origin of the blue life essence you provide. On the other hand, I also want to draw out the dark forces behind the Ancient Martial God Path through the confrontation between our two factions.

Rather than a provocation or conflict, consider this a rare opportunity for you and me to cooperate. If you can change your mindset and choose to work with me, your Eternal Night Empire will certainly suffer no losses."

Upon hearing Xu Yang's words, the Eternal Night Emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter. "If you want to cooperate with me, you'll need to present significant leverage. Otherwise, there's no reason for me to get involved in this mess."

Hearing this, Xu Yang waved his hand without hesitation, revealing the three purple jade crystals in his palm. As expected, Xu Yang's judgment was spot on.

Upon seeing Xu Yang produce the three crystals, the Eternal Night Emperor immediately froze. The fleeting excitement and greed in his eyes were impossible to conceal.

"You actually gathered three purple jade crystals? That's truly incredible."
