Chapter 276: Self-Sealing Title

The shattered void swirled like a hurricane beneath the crimson-golden divine rod.

Bang!

The Crimson Sun Divine Rod struck the ground. The earth split open, cracks spreading like a spider’s web. As the broken void healed, blood sprayed into the air, yet Demon Sword Yi ultimately vanished without a trace.

These two consecutive strikes left many would-be attackers shaken, especially the experts from the Saint-level forces. The four individuals who had initially followed the crowd, seemingly waiting for an opportunity, immediately turned and fled.

They were truly terrified.

Even if they didn’t flee outright, they would only reveal themselves again when they found an absolute opportunity to kill Zhang Yang.

With Demon Sword Yi’s escape, Zhang Yang felt annoyed. Letting them go? What a joke!

He stepped forward, planting his foot on one man’s back.

Bang!

The man’s spine shattered instantly, his organs burst, and his life ended in an instant. At the same time, Zhang Yang swept the Crimson Sun Divine Rod sideways.

Bang! Bang!

Two more men were flung away, their bodies crushed with ease, raising not even a ripple. This made Zhang Yang frown in suspicion.

Were these really the strongest experts sent by Embrace Moon Tower, Burial Dragon Forbidden Ground, and the Liu Family? They seemed like mere pretenders.

In contrast, the Langya Genius from the cursed land of Langya reacted swiftly. The moment she felt Zhang Yang’s gaze upon her, she immediately activated an ancient teleportation array.

Flee!

Just as Demon Sword Yi had done. However, she never expected the other three to be so weak. Whether they were paralyzed by fear or simply useless, they failed to stall Zhang Yang for even a moment.

The moment her ancient teleportation array activated, Zhang Yang made his move without hesitation, he threw the Crimson Sun Divine Rod.

The Langya Genius’s face turned pale. She hurriedly unleashed a divine seal in an attempt to block the attack.

Bang!

The Crimson Sun Divine Rod’s power was too overwhelming. Upon impact, the divine seal was sent crashing back straight toward her!

Bang!

The divine seal struck her chest, causing her to vomit blood as she was forcibly ejected from the teleportation array.

Compared to Demon Sword Yi, her speed was vastly inferior. She had no chance of escaping. Zhang Yang stepped forward, grabbed the Crimson Sun Divine Rod, and pressed his attack without pause. With a single thrust, he drove the divine rod forward.

The Langya Genius, who had just hit the ground and was struggling to rise, watched in horror as the Crimson Sun Divine Rod pierced through her chest like a sharp blade, exiting through her back with a soft thud.

"I warned you—everyone from the cursed land of Langya must die!"

Zhang Yang pulled the Crimson Sun Divine Rod free.

The Langya Genius’s eyes widened in disbelief before she collapsed to the ground, her life fading away. The surrounding crowd erupted into chaos. Of the Nine Top Saint-level Forces, five were killed, one escaped, and one was let go. Only two remained.

How could they possibly continue to fight?

Even those hidden among the crowd, scheming in the shadows, felt their hearts tremble. No one dared act recklessly anymore. This was the sheer power of Zhang Yang’s slaughter.

Zhang Yang glanced around.

To his surprise, Yue Longxiang had not fled.

While Zhang Yang rampaged, Yue Longxiang had consumed a powerful healing holy pill and recovered swiftly.

Now, he was gathering power, preparing to launch an even stronger attack.

Meanwhile, Yun Tiange had also risen from the crowd.

Though he had suffered severe injuries before, he had now fully healed.

Yet, instead of re-entering the fight, he moved deeper into the crowd, watching from a distance.

The moment he sensed danger, he would activate the ancient teleportation array and flee.

It was a clear sign that he had completely given up on this battle. This disappointed the onlookers. The son of the Ziyang Sacred Land, afraid to fight again? Too shameful! Yet Yun Tiange ignored the ridicule, his expression cold.

He had to survive. Only by staying alive could he grow stronger, and only by growing stronger could he reclaim his dignity.

He also noticed how Zhang Yang’s sheer dominance had deeply shaken the crowd.

He even overheard whispers—some were considering joining the Vast Forest, while others were pressuring hidden enemies to stand down.

This wasn’t forced submission, and was the natural result of absolute power.

The Southern Region itself would soon undergo a profound shift.

It would affect the older generation, the middle-aged, and even the younger generation.

Thus, although Yun Tiange feared fighting again, he still hoped Yue Longxiang could turn the tide.

Meanwhile, Yue Longxiang… after a short moment of building power, he felt his bloodline surge, as if a great river boiled within him, roaring and churning. His aura expanded rapidly.

When he lifted his gaze, the void trembled under the weight of his power. As he took a step forward, the earth cracked beneath his feet. At that exact moment, Zhang Yang finished killing the Langya Genius.

Without hesitation, Yue Longxiang erupted, "Bloodline Secret Technique, Dragon and Elephant Golden Cauldron Great Killing Technique!"

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed from within him. His body radiated boundless holy light, mixed with a blood-red glow.

A terrifying dragon and elephant surged forth, intertwining to form a massive cauldron that hurtled toward Zhang Yang.

This strike was not only overwhelmingly dominant, it even surpassed Demon Sword Yi’s terrifying sword strike!

Yue Longxiang was at the limit of his explosive power, unleashing the deepest mysteries hidden within his bloodline.

As the Naturally Born Son, he could not afford to lose.

He had to win.

Yet Zhang Yang’s response was simple and direct.

The Crimson Sun Divine Rod burst with golden light, fully unleashing the Diamond Dragon Holy Power.

The rod lunged forward like a dragon, accompanied by a thunderous dragon’s roar that shattered the skies.

Crack!

With one strike, the Dragon and Elephant Golden Cauldron collapsed, shattering into countless golden shards. Zhang Yang surged forward, charging fiercely, piercing through the scattered remnants of the broken cauldron.

Yue Longxiang realized he could not dodge in time and exclaimed in horror,

"How can you be this strong?!"

He was completely caught off guard. He had thought his ultimate strike was invincible, convinced that Zhang Yang was exhausted. Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, he was the one being crushed instead.

Bang!

The Crimson Sun Divine Rod struck Yue Longxiang’s forehead directly.

His body trembled, blood trickling from his forehead.

His eyes widened in disbelief as his body slowly fell backward.

Thud!

He landed on his back, lifeless. Among the Top Ten Saint-level Forces in the Southern Region, nine had entered the fray. Yet, in the end, Six died and two escaped. However, one was let go.

Zhang Yang planted the Crimson Sun Divine Rod into the ground and scanned his surroundings.

Though he remained standing tall, he was slightly out of breath.

Utilizing his full holy power martial arts techniques had consumed a significant amount of energy.

The sixth level of the Touching Heaven Realm was still not enough.

Far from allowing him to fight freely.

And he hadn’t even used the Slaughter Thunder Saint Power yet.

He bellowed, his voice thundering through the battlefield.

"Who else wants to fight? I’m ready for anyone!"

Silence. Not a single response. He called out again, "Who wants to fight?" Still, no one answered. Before the Green Sparrow Palace, bodies lay piled high, blood flowing like a river. The carnage was horrifying.

Among the dead were not only the elite Saint-level warriors but also three hundred corpses from the Black Cloak Pavilion.

And of the three thousand who had been provoked into battle, those who weren’t even worthy of facing Zhang Yang directly. They had all been erased in an instant by killing thunder.

Such ruthless efficiency proved one thing, Zhang Yang feared no group attack. The key factor, however, was something far greater. Too many people had already realized that this was the turning point for the Southern Region’s future.

Quietly, many had chosen to stand behind Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang’s gaze swept the crowd.

"No one dares to fight?"

Then, his eyes locked onto Yun Tiange.

His voice rang out powerfully—

"Then I officially declare that from this moment forward, I, Zhang Yang, am the first of the new generation in the Southern Region!"

"And I proclaim myself, the Southern Region Battle God!"
