Chapter 14523 The strength surges
Dao Sha paused.
His tone carried a hint of regret: "It's a pity that this dragon soul was already injured in the self-destruction, and its power was reduced to less than one-tenth. Otherwise, your physical strength could have reached another level, directly approaching the threshold of the Emperor Realm!"
"Try circulating the energy throughout your body and see if you can control this power."
Ling Xiao clenched his fists as instructed.
His internal dantian instantly boiled.
A surge of dragon energy, mixed with demonic power, burst forth.
Travel through the body along the meridians!
A golden dragon statue, hundreds of feet tall, suddenly appeared behind him.
The dragon's head is held high.
A deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the entire Magic Needle Space.
The vibrations made the space around them buzz.
"It can actually coexist with my demonic cultivation bloodline without any rejection?"
Ling Xiao felt the wonderful state of the two forces within his body merging and coexisting.
His face was full of shock.
"That's the most surprising part."
Dao Sha's expression turned solemn: "Your bloodline is too special, it can actually be compatible with the national destiny dragon soul. This means that the origin of this dragon soul is far beyond the ordinary and has some kind of secret compatibility with your physique."
"Now that your soul has been restored with the power of the God-Slaying Sword, and your physical body has broken through to the peak of the Star River Realm, the power of your previous ultimate moves will be incomparable!"
A hint of anticipation flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes.
He quickly asked, "With my current strength, can I fight against that golden-armored Valkyrie?"
"It's still a bit lacking."
Dao Sha shook his head decisively: "That Valkyrie is almost at the Emperor Realm and controls the forbidden lightning magic of the Holy Temple. Although you have a strong physical body, the gap in realm is still there. If you fight her head-on, you will definitely die."
"However, the rest of the Temple minions are no longer a threat to you."
"The most urgent task is to immediately return to defend Lin Yuan City—that is the foundation of the Ba Tian Empire. Once it falls, you will become a rootless duckweed."
Just as Ling Xiao nodded.
As they prepared to leave the Magic Needle Space.
Two figures suddenly burst through the air and arrived.
It landed steadily in the secret realm.
Yu Jianzi stared at Ling Xiao warily.
His expression was complicated.
Ling Bi walked straight over.
His tone was firm: "I will go to Lin Yuan City with you."
"No!"
Yu Jianzi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
His tone was urgent: "Miss Lingbi, you are the new emperor of Kang Kingdom, the last hope of Kang Kingdom. How can you personally risk your life?"
"Linyuan City is now a den of dragons and tigers. The Holy Temple has deployed all its elite forces. You absolutely must not go there!"
Ling Bi's eyes were cold and icy.
His tone remained unwavering: "I am not a puppet of the Sword Sect, nor a pawn to be manipulated."
“Protecting my brother is my responsibility as his sister. He has always been the one to protect me. This time, it’s my turn to stand by his side!”
"Besides, I am the leader of the thirteen demon generals under my brother's command, and it is my mission to fight on the battlefield!"
Ling Xiao looked into Ling Bi's determined eyes.
A slight warmth touched my heart.
With the assistance of Ling Bi, a powerful figure imbued with the sword intent of an emperor, the defensive pressure on Lin Yuan City will be greatly reduced.
Yu Jianzi wanted to persuade him again.
Ling Xiao frowned.
She interrupted him coldly: "Senior Yu Jianzi, when I agreed to let Ling Bi follow the Sword Sect to cultivate, I hoped that she could be protected and improve her strength, not that she would become a slave of your Sword Sect and be bound by your freedom!"
His tone softened slightly.
With a hint of gratitude and determination: "I am grateful to the Sword Sect for nurturing her over the years, and I am also grateful for the help you gave me last time. But now the Overlord Empire is in imminent danger, and all citizens of the Overlord Empire should fight to protect their homeland!"
"If even my own sister chooses to run away, how can I have the face to call on others to shed their blood for the Overlord Empire?"
Yu Jianzi opened his mouth.
What else do you want to say.
But Ling Xiao waved his hand to interrupt him.
Ling Xiao raised his hand and waved away the heavy atmosphere around him.
His tone was as firm as a rock: "Don't worry, as long as I have a breath left, Ling Bi will be fine."
"If you are still uneasy, then come with me."
Ling Bi turned to look at Yu Jianzi.
His eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
Her tone was resolute and left no room for compromise: "The Sword Sect wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, but I, Ling Bi, will never let my friend bear the burden of this crisis alone!"
"go!"
Two streaks of light pierced the sky.
A rainbow streaked across the sky and disappeared into the distance.
All that remained was the sharp whistling sound that cut through the air.
Yu Jianzi moved to give chase.
Suddenly, an old figure appeared beside him.
His aura was unfathomable.
"metropolitan!"
Yu Jianzi was startled.
He hurriedly bowed in greeting.
The old man watched the light fade away in the sky.
A soft sigh, tinged with endless regret, escaped his lips: "If we push any further, the Sword Sect will lose this chosen one forever."
"But to confront the Holy Temple head-on at this moment..."
Yu Jianzi was filled with worry.
"Wait."
The old man hadn't finished speaking.
The jade talisman in his sleeve suddenly trembled violently.
His expression suddenly changed.
He said in a deep voice, "The main force of the Holy Temple has moved!"
Far away in the clouds of the ninth heaven.
The silver-haired woman raised her eyebrows slightly.
A scarlet rune materialized from his fingertip.
The flowing runes exuded a bone-chilling coldness.
A cruel, bloodthirsty smile curved her lips.
Her voice was alluring yet laced with venom: "Found you, little mouse."
Linyuan City!
On this day, the heavens suddenly changed!
The dark, shadowy figures were like inky clouds collapsing.
Cover the sky.
An overwhelming pressure descended like a mountain collapsing.
It completely enveloped the entire city.
Ten thousand figures stood suspended in mid-air.
Their robes fluttered in the fierce wind—the Holy Temple had deployed its elite forces!
Above the city.
The allied forces of the Overlord Empire are on high alert.
The gilded battle flags of the Divine Light Clan and the mysterious totems of the Gu Clan complement each other.
The weapons in the hands of the Demon Heaven Sect disciples hummed and trembled.
It emitted a chilling, sharp light.
At this moment, their fates were already intertwined with Ling Xiao's.
Both are prosperous.
If one is harmed, all are harmed.
Looking at the densely packed figures in the sky.
The soldiers defending the city were all deathly pale.
My heart feels heavy.
The Holy Temple has mobilized 100,000 soldiers!
The most terrifying thing is that among these 100,000 people, the weakest is actually at the Star River Realm!
It should be known that, whether it is the Overlord Empire or the Demon Heaven Sect, a single Star River Realm expert is enough to stand alone and guard a region!
This lineup is simply astonishing!
The power of the Holy Temple is indeed well-deserved!
Among the crowd, twelve figures with auras as deep and boundless as the ocean stood out.
They were all peak experts of the Star River Realm.
The black-armored man at the head of the group was even more unfathomable—he held a jet-black giant sword, his body stood as majestic as an ancient demonic mountain, and the pressure emanating from him made people instinctively want to submit, even making it difficult to breathe.
Behind him, ninety-nine powerful members of the Holy Temple formed a profound battle formation.
Causing strange phenomena in heaven and earth.
The immense pressure was so real that it caused the city walls to crack.
Bricks and stones fell in a rustling sound.
Although the combined forces of the Overlord Empire seem vastly unequal, they are by no means helpless to be slaughtered.
With the addition of ancient sects such as the Divine Light Clan, the overall strength of the allied forces is now vastly different from what it used to be.
These ancient and powerful forces possess profound foundations, with over a hundred high-level Star River Realm experts and as many as twenty-one peak experts.
Everyone knew that the allied forces' true trump card was that young man who had repeatedly created miracles—
Lingxiao!
At this moment, his power alone is enough to rival that of a thousand troops!
……
In the shadow of the city gate tower.
The Lord of the Silent Realm quietly appeared.
A faint aura of nothingness lingered around him.
