Yang Xiong stood alone in the sky, overlooking the entire Jialing Pass battlefield. He viewed everyone below as mere ants, showing no fear even under the gaze of the Asura God and the Evil God King.
The Evil God King and the Asura God said nothing more as they watched Yang Xiong's actions. After all, Tang San was dead, and Yang Xiong was now the strongest among the ordinary people at Jialing Pass.
The Evil God King let out a cold snort. "Yang Xiong, you've ruined all my plans. When you reach the God Realm, I'll settle this with you."
Yang Xiong replied, "Evil God King, I take responsibility for everything I do. But as an Enforcer, your actions today have already violated the rules of the world. I will also hold you accountable then."
The Evil God King's expression turned cold, and he vanished without a trace, saying nothing further.
The Asura God, however, looked at Yang Xiong with a complex expression, his face shifting through various emotions before he finally let out a sigh.
"Yang Xiong, why must you do this? While the Evil God is a bit extreme, his actions were not wrong. Everything he did was for the stability of the God Realm."
Yang Xiong responded, "Lord Asura God, the stability of the God Realm relies on the maintenance of all the Gods and the prosperity and development of the Douluo World, not on scheming against the Soul Beast race or sacrificing the entire Douluo Continent. Order and stability depend on everyone, not just the strength of one person."
The Asura God mused, "Perhaps you are right. Anyway, I am about to step down. You will have to face everything yourself then. However, I will give you one piece of advice: never underestimate anyone, and never underestimate the darkness within people's hearts."
"This time, you were lucky, and it was your hidden strength that prevented Tang San's sneak attack from succeeding. Otherwise, you might have been in real danger. The Evil God's strength far surpasses Tang San's; he is even the strongest among us Five Great God Kings."
Yang Xiong bowed slightly. "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Asura God. This world will always respect strength, even in the God Realm."
The Asura God said nothing more, and the blood-red figure gradually faded. Everyone on the Jialing Pass battlefield finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, even though it was just a divine thought, the Asura God's aura still far surpassed Yang Xiong's.
Yang Xiong glanced at the entire Jialing Pass battlefield alone, lost in thought, contemplating how to end this war and how the entire Douluo World should develop from here on.
Xiao Wu glared at Yang Xiong with hatred. "Yang Xiong, you've gone too far, you're too ruthless! You actually killed Third Brother. I will never forgive you!"
Yang Xiong's gaze sharpened, and terrifying pressure was directed at Xiao Wu, sending her flying.
Yang Xiong's final full-power strike had only killed Tang San; he hadn't attacked anyone else. Perhaps he had been too merciful.
Seeing Xiao Wu's resentful expression, Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head. "Xiao Wu, you are of the Soul Beast race, not human. I advise you to leave quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Xiao Wu's eyes widened with fury. "You can kill me too, then I can go be with Third Brother."
Yang Xiong's expression changed slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. With a gentle wave of his hand, a colossal palm seemed to descend upon Xiao Wu.
"Since you wish to die, I shall grant it. I have already shown you all the mercy I can."
Before the colossal palm could land, Ning Rongrong quickly interjected, "Little Xiongzi, don't! Xiao Wu is just too emotional. We're all classmates, don't be so harsh."
Yang Xiong turned to look at Ning Rongrong and couldn't help but shake his head. "I don't want to be enemies with anyone, but I won't let anyone who attacks me go unpunished."
Then, Yang Xiong spoke to Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, from the perspective of your Soul Beast race, honestly, if someone wanted to kill you, would you let that enemy live?"
"Perhaps you haven't realized it, but the Tang San of today is completely different from the Tang San of the Shrek Academy. The current Tang San is filled with killing intent, he is incredibly evil, and even his mindset has changed."
"Besides, the Tang San you knew is long dead. Especially when Tang San began to accept the Rakshasa God's inheritance, he became the embodiment of evil in this world. Even the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were killed by Tang San."
Xiao Wu's face turned ashen. "You're lying! Third Brother has always been the closest person to me. He promised to protect me with his life and would never harm my loved ones."
Seeing Xiao Wu's infatuated state, Yang Xiong looked at Qian Renxue beside her. "Qian Renxue, after Bibi Dong was injured, did she still have a chance to hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Qian Renxue's lips curled into a mocking smile. "That's rather ridiculous. Don't pin everything on Bibi Dong. After Bibi Dong was injured in the last Jialing Pass battle, she returned directly to Spirit City. At that time, all the experts of the Spirit Empire were at Jialing Pass. It would have been impossible for Bibi Dong alone to pursue the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python simultaneously. It's likely that the sacrifice of those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts was also part of Tang San's plan."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's face turned pale. "That's impossible, it's impossible! Third Brother wouldn't attack Da Ming and Er Ming; they were my closest siblings, my last remaining family."
Yang Xiong chuckled. "You can go to the Star Dou Great Forest and ask the other Soul Beasts how the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python died. When two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts fall simultaneously, other Soul Beasts would naturally sense it or witness it."
Xiao Wu glanced at Yang Xiong, her eyes filled with indignation. "You're lying, I don't believe Third Brother is that kind of person. I'm going back to the Star Dou Great Forest to investigate. If Third Brother really harmed Da Ming and Er Ming, I will definitely find you to avenge Third Brother."
With that, Xiao Wu swiftly departed from the Jialing Pass battlefield, seemingly preparing to return to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Yang Xiong once again surveyed everyone present at Jialing Pass, his gaze finally settling on Dean Flender. "Dean Flender, the situation has come to this. I advise you to leave immediately. If you insist on opposing me, you will face the consequences."
Flender's eyes showed a hint of confusion, as well as a trace of sorrow. "Yang Xiong, back at Shrek Academy, our academy didn't help you much. Why did you hold back earlier?"
Yang Xiong smiled. "Regardless, Flender, you were a qualified dean, and you were merely acting in your capacity as a dean. You should leave now and not appear before me again."
Flender fell silent. He had initially wanted to protect his students, and also the only student of his good friend, which was why he had appeared at the scene. Unfortunately, with his strength, he was powerless to stop any of this.
Aside from Flender, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have fallen into madness. The hand that had held Tang San's was now completely empty. Although his body was unharmed, he appeared utterly broken.
"Yang Xiong, you are so cruel! You actually killed Xiao San. You are completely inhumane!"
Yang Xiong's expression shifted slightly. "Yu Xiaogang, you allow your disciple to try and kill me, but you won't allow me to kill him? What kind of logic is that?"
"I wish to be left alone as a cripple. I hope you won't provoke me, or you will face the consequences."
Before Yu Xiaogang could say anything more, Flender pulled him away and they left the scene quickly.
Now, only a small number of high-ranking officials from the Heaven Dou Empire, and some experts from the Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Spirit Empire, and Body Sect remained. The battle situation was quite clear, and Yang Xiong's strength had already suppressed everyone present.
Although Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect members were filled with anger, their strength was too weak. Even the strongest, Tang Xiao, was only Level 97, utterly incapable of fighting further. Let alone Yang Xiong, even Qian Renxue could easily kill them.
Qian Renxue looked at Yang Xiong with a trace of resentment. "Yang Xiong, even though I've lost to you, my Spirit Empire will not be at your mercy. We can fight again if we have to."
Qian Renxue was still injured from Tang San's sneak attack. Although she was still a Level 100 deity, her strength was still far inferior to Yang Xiong's. Given the strength Yang Xiong had displayed in the end, even three Qian Renxues might not be his match.
Yang Xiong ignored Qian Renxue's words and surveyed the entire battlefield. "From this moment on, the war is over. Anyone who dares to continue fighting will die!"
As Yang Xiong's words fell, everyone at Jialing Pass felt as if divine might had descended. Their souls seemed to be under immense pressure, the kind of pressure a deity exerts on ordinary Soul Masters. Everyone felt like ants.
The Spirit Empire's Soul Master Legion and army, who had been preparing to continue fighting, were deeply shaken. They felt that if they continued to resist, they would likely be turned to dust, killed like ants.
All the soldiers of the Spirit Empire slowly lowered their weapons, and all the Soul Masters retracted their Martial Souls, showing a clear sign of surrender.
Although the Six Great Enshrinements of the Spirit Empire were filled with unwillingness, Qian Renxue was still injured, and her strength was clearly far inferior to Yang Xiong's. They had lost all will to fight.
Meanwhile, the soldiers and Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Empire erupted in cheers, celebrating the victory. Especially the members of the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with boundless admiration.
Yang Xiong was the Sect Leader of the Body Sect and also a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Now, Yang Xiong was the strongest on the battlefield, a deity, and the true faith for both sects, holding an supreme position within them.
As for the members of the Clear Sky Sect, although the war had ended, they remained dejected. They might not have to fight anymore, but their sect's deity was dead, and their sect's future was truly over.
