Chapter 898 – Carl’s Stance

　　”Don’t think that I can’t see the mental activities of the two of you, and the reason you’re hesitant to make a move against me is because you don’t have enough confidence to be able to defeat me, and that’s why you’re harping on it here.”

　　”But that’s fine, I can very well understand the mental state of the two of you right now, if you’re truly fearful, I don’t mind if the two of you go together.

　　There’s no difference at all for me, it’s just crushing an ant or two.”

　　Such words were a bit too overbearing, and they also made the Storm Ancestor Witch and Undead Chantor in front of them lose face.

　　Both of them revealed incomparably icy expressions, glancing at each other and reaching some sort of consensus before immediately striking out at Xu Yang at the same time.

　　On the left, on the side of the Storm Ancestor Witch, an incomparably exquisite ball of energy light suddenly glowed out in front of him, and in the midst of this ball of light, it carried some sort of special source of power.

　　Xu Yang quickly discovered that all the offensive power feats performed by the Storm Ancestral Witch in front of him were all realized by relying on this radiant ball of light in front of his chest to receive them.

　　”Storm Wind Raid!”

　　At this moment, the Storm Ancestor Witch looked like a very tyrannical magician, with a powerful existence that controlled the wind and thunder of heaven and earth, his palms continuously forming seals, using his spiritual power to trigger this radiant ball of light in front of him, a large swathe of thunderclouds and storms descended out of thin air around Xu Yang, locking in the first moment of his physical body’s power of action.

　　And it made him forcefully devour the endless lightning light around him.

　　The enemy was clearly trying to baptize Xu Yang’s life thoroughly in such a way, making him feel the horror from the storm’s power.

　　However, for Xu Yang, the power of an attack of this intensity hitting his body was simply no different from taking a cool shower.

　　”To be honest, with an offense like yours even if I gave you a hundred years, you wouldn’t be able to kill me.”

　　Xu Yang shook his head helplessly, looking at the other party with a trace of sympathy surprisingly mixed in his eyes.

　　This was because he possessed the armor that the Father of the Ancestral Dragon had transformed into within his body, and that was a means of protection that was capable of resisting supreme forces at the God King level, and it was simply not something that this one Ancestral Witch in front of him was able to fight against.

　　As expected, after a good while of this endless storm frantically washing over him, the Storm Ancestral Witch stopped moving and examined Xu Yang’s posture with a serious look on his face.

　　Only then did he realize that all this power he had struck out had not even the slightest effect on him.

　　”Dammit, how is this possible!

　　The power of my Thunder Storm had once killed a Heavenly Martial Artist level powerhouse in seconds, so why does it have no effect at all on your body?”

　　The Storm Ancestor Witch was also dumbfounded, how could he know that the underpinnings Xu Yang possessed were simply beyond his imagination?

　　At the same time, the Undead Chantor guy on the other side instinctively began to get antsy.

　　He originally thought that with the presence of the Storm Witch to help him, even if he couldn’t kill Xu Yang, he would still be able to greatly destroy his unstoppable spirit.

　　He had thought that even if he didn’t succeed in killing Xu Yang, he would still be able to greatly destroy his unstoppable spirit!

　　But the truth was very cruel, completely exceeding the expectations of the undead chanter in front of him.

　　”Damn it, you are the nemesis of my destiny, Ah Yang, today, even if I have to pay a great price, I will definitely let you know how powerful I am!”

　　The undead chanter clenched his teeth and once again let go of this black tome in his hand.

　　Unbeknownst to her, this one black tome was itself a part of her physical body.

　　In other words, every time she opened this book, it was the same as forcibly extracting a part of her life essence, so until it was absolutely necessary, the Undead Chantress Carl almost rarely used the book in her hand.

　　But this time, the opponent standing in front of him was Xu Yang, he had no choice.

　　Seeing the actions of the fellow in front of him, Xu Yang couldn’t help but reveal a teasing smile.

　　”Do you really think that I can’t see the doorway of your book?

　　Since you’re relying on him so much, then I’ll personally destroy him in front of you, so that you’ll completely lose your value amongst the five forbidden regions.”

　　As soon as Xu Yang’s words fell, he once again opened that precious iron box of his.

　　In this instant, all of the surrounding space and time fell into a state of stagnation.

　　Xu Yang’s stance speed was raised to the extreme, taking advantage of this precious moment of spacetime stagnation to forcefully snatch this black ancient book from Carl’s hands into his own.

　　And in the next second, when all the surrounding clamor returned to its original state, Karl was shocked to discover that this lifeblood of his had somehow run into Xu Yang’s hands in such a haphazard manner.

　　”Damn, how is this possible!

　　I actually didn’t even notice anything from the beginning to the end, how on earth did you do that!”

　　Completely confused, Carl couldn’t help but scratch his head, forcibly curbing the violent emotions in his heart.

　　When facing Xu Yang, he had an indescribable feeling of powerlessness, it seemed that no matter how serious he was or how hard he exerted himself, he was always like a child in front of this guy.

　　Xu Yang unhurriedly began to flip through this black tome in his hands, completely ignoring Carl’s expression and state at this moment.

　　Surprisingly, after he flipped through this ancient tome, the special bizarre runes recorded on it surged madly into his mind, and were quickly digested by Xu Yang in a very short period of time.

　　”Hahaha, I really didn’t expect that what is recorded in this book is the secret method about curse cultivation!

　　It also includes the means of making various ancient inscriptions, no wonder the people of the Five Forbidden Regions were able to invite you to join our core lineup so easily!”

　　Xu Yang thoroughly gained insight into all the secrets on Karl’s body, and flipped through the black tome as fast as he could.

　　And then, at the first opportunity, Xu Yang opened the three qi whirlpools in his body, and with a powerful fluctuation of primordial breath, he completely wrapped this black tome in his palm, preventing Carl from using any form of means to retake this ancient tome back.

　　”Carl, right now, you no longer have any value to the entire Five Forbidden Regions, because my people have now taken control of the Cloudpass Ancestor Witch’s storeroom, and all of his thousands of mechanical inventions have become my trophies!

　　Now, I have obtained the method of making inscriptions recorded in this book of yours, which is tantamount to obtaining the core means of harnessing those battlefield machines in disguise.”

　　”If you’re still a smart person, choose to give up the Five Forbidden Regions right now and return to my command, this is your only chance to redeem yourself for your crimes.”

　　Of course, Carl knew exactly what Xu Yang meant by this, after all, the five forbidden zones joining the world strife in the Eastern Domain was all the work of Carl alone, which meant that he was the main culprit of this curse that had struck the entire Eastern and Western continents.

　　Once the situation was stabilized by the forces of the Central Region led by Xu Yang, then Carl would be unable to absolve himself of the blame and become the eternal sinner to be judged by the entire Eastern Region.
