Chapter 1562: If You Want War, Then Let There Be War!

Chapter 1562: Chapter 1562: If You Want War, Then Let There Be War!

Xuanxiao could converse with Xuanyuan on equal terms, at least at the level of an Immortal Monarch.

Even if they were to fight at the same realm, Xuanxiao’s combat experience and rule manipulation were something Yang Yan couldn’t contend with.

Yang Yan’s heart was filled with resentment.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan’s voice echoed in his heart.

"Yang Yan, the human race is weak and can only compromise in this matter. I hope you won’t blame us for this decision. We have too many considerations for the people behind us."

Yang Yan responded in his heart, "I’m not displeased; I’m just angry. Why must the human race endure such trials, and why do the ten thousand races target us at every turn?"

Xuanyuan’s voice, tinged with helplessness, continued, "All of this stems from that person’s ruthless slaughter of the ten thousand races back then. The Immortal Emperor fell into slumber, out of ten Immortal Monarchs only one remains, only the human Immortal Monarch remains intact."

"They fear that someone like that person might appear again among the human race and annihilate them entirely."

Yang Yan fell silent.

Although he knew this was the situation, he felt helpless in the face of the current predicament.

Xuanyuan’s voice echoed again in Yang Yan’s heart, "You need not worry, for a cultivator fights against heaven and earth, contends with other cultivators, seizes opportunities from the heavens, and gradually grows into an existence capable of moving mountains, filling seas, and destroying galaxies."

"Xuanxiao may be an Immortal Monarch, but he can only battle you with the peak cultivation of the Saint Realm. If you possess the heart of a stronger, what is there to fear?!"

"You are a prodigy of your generation and even possess the World-Ending Demon Spear. Does the spirit for battle not exist within you now?"

Fu Xi’s words stirred Yang Yan’s blood. Indeed, what of an Immortal Monarch? They too ascended step by step from weakness to their current position.

He, Yang Yan, was born a prodigy of his generation and was endowed with the eternal World Tree.

No matter if facing an Immortal Monarch of the same realm!

He, Yang Yan, was confident he was not inferior to anyone.

This dialogue seemed lengthy, but in reality, it passed in a brief instant.

Yang Yan’s eyes flashed with intense battle spirit as he shouted at Xuanxiao, "Xuanxiao, what is there to fear in battling you? If you want a fight, then fight!"

Xuanxiao’s heart tightened, as he wasn’t sure what Xuanyuan had said, but at this moment, Yang Yan had lifted the curse law he had placed upon him.

This brought a flash of uneasiness into Xuanxiao’s heart.

Could Yang Yan really defeat him?

Thinking of this, Xuanxiao experienced a rare sense of panic.

Xuanyuan nodded slightly in secret, then swung the Xuanyuan Sword, completely dividing the space where the two were located from the battlefield.

Yang Yan did not delay, and the blood-dripping World-Ending Demon Spear appeared instantly, surrounded by starry rivers.

Thousands of sword qi shot fiercely towards Xuanxiao.

Xuanxiao’s expression remained unchanged; he lightly waved his right hand, instantly conjuring a space crack before him.

The thousands of sword qi were swallowed by the space crack like birds returning to their nest, and the crack immediately vanished.

Seeing this, Yang Yan’s face changed suddenly, shifting his body to the right, then countless starry rivers collided with the space on his left.

The thousands of sword qi invisibly appeared from that space, colliding wildly with the countless starry rivers.

Boom, boom, boom—

The intense explosions continued to sound.

Even the Immortal Dao Barrier set by Xuanyuan was violently agitated at this moment.

Xuanyuan hurriedly exerted immortal power to stabilize the space; if the battle spread into the battlefield, only a few individuals might survive.

Xuanxiao’s eyes flashed with a hint of bewilderment.

He evidently hadn’t expected Yang Yan to have mastered the Time Rule!

Xuanxiao’s lips curled into a cold smile.

With a light touch of his right hand, ripples appeared in the void.

"Yang Yan, the Time Rule isn’t meant to be used like this; let me show you the true power of the Time Rule."

Yang Yan’s face shifted drastically, and in his urgency, he couldn’t afford to think deeply. He immediately released his own Time Rule.

The waves produced by the two Time Rules collided, instantly shrinking Yang Yan’s body into that of a young man.

Simultaneously, his spiritual power fluctuations also regressed to his youth.

In Xuanxiao’s location, Xuanxiao’s face merely showed a slight elderly hue, without further impact.

Xuanxiao shook his head, "You truly disappoint me. If this is the extent of your ability, you should just fall! It’s such a pity, the prodigy of the human race, the hope for the future!"

In an instant, a multicolored hand formed in the void, its five fingers shimmering with different hues.

Yet Yang Yan understood that on each finger, a rule was condensed.

Hurriedly, Yang Yan channeled the Time Law to dissipate the Power of Time on himself.

But now Xuanxiao launched into a frenzy of attacks. ℴ𝒗ⅇ𝑙.

"Behold my Heaven-Burying Five Fingers; first finger, Heavenly Dao Replacement."

As Xuanxiao’s words fell, the transparent finger brimming with dense Time Rule pressed down mercilessly towards Yang Yan.

With this finger, Yang Yan seemed to witness the swapping of heavens, the passage of civilizations, and the decline of worlds...

Yang Yan steadied his mind, wielding the World-Ending Demon Spear, infusing a vast amount of Life Force and Time Rule.

The Demon God’s phantom instantly solidified, the demon spear stained with immortal blood roared, charging relentlessly towards the descending finger.

This time, the clash did not resound with noise, nor did it produce those anticipated violent explosions.

As if the clash rumbled through the river of time, echoing in another space-time, a tide of years swept over both.

Their bodies instantly aged, blood qi surged, then returned to their original condition.

Earlier, Xuanyuan had already exited this space to avoid being annihilated by the battle’s aftermath.

At this moment, the outer battlefield also ceased fighting.

Xuanyuan stood alongside Fu Xi.

Fu Xi asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Why did the World Tree core within Yang Yan’s body suddenly react?"

Gazing at where Yang Yan and Xuanxiao battled, Xuanyuan murmured, "At the entrance to the Outer World passage, the traces of that person have appeared."

Fu Xi’s body trembled, his phantom flickered. He exclaimed, "That person has appeared again!"

Xuanyuan shook his head, "I don’t know; we have only found what that person left behind. Whether he is alive or dead remains unknown."

"However, the World Tree’s mutation in Yang Yan suggests that that person may indeed have appeared."

At this moment, on the battlefield, the two Starry Sky Giant Beasts originally pierced by the World Tree emitted a faint wail.

Next, their flesh dissipated, leaving only a skeleton on display in the starry sky.

The World Tree extracted a light orb from the body of one of the Starry Sky Giant Beasts, faintly flickering with the World Tree’s phantom.

The branch returned to Yang Yan’s body.

At the same time, the World Tree phantom behind Yang Yan vanished.

Before Yang Yan could examine the light orb’s nature, Xuanxiao’s second finger arrived.

"I possess a finger that can bury the heavens, extinguish earth, slay gods, and massacre immortals: namely, Immortal Demon Ascension and Fall."

This finger was rich with the Destruction Rule; images of world collapse, gods and demons bleeding, and heaven and earth shattering emerged continuously around the finger.
