Chapter 1285: Wish Power
This method will work!
Hearing Yang Yan’s explanation, the several Soul Shepherds exchanged a look and saw a flash of light in each other’s eyes.
After that, they reached a tacit understanding. Forming an encirclement, they pressed toward the Celestial Demon King, hurling themselves at him in fearless, suicidal attacks one after another.
Very soon, cracks began to appear all over the Celestial Demon King’s body.
This kind of fighting with one’s life for another’s would, even for the Celestial Demon King, be startling.
Because his weakness had really been pointed out by Yang Yan.
His body now looked invincible, but in truth it was strong on the outside and hollow within, extremely fragile.
That was why earlier he had thrown out a smoke bomb to confuse them, to make them ignore this detail.
But with the way they were now fighting for their lives, his body might very well be broken, and then things would get troublesome.
With a thought, the Celestial Demon King made up his mind mid-battle to temporarily avoid their sharp edge and first find a place to recover his strength.
Once he returned to his peak, wouldn’t crushing these few people be as easy as turning his hand?
Having thought this, the Celestial Demon King threw his head back and laughed, his voice rolling like thunder as he said:
"Brat, you’re something. I didn’t think you’d actually see through this lord’s current state! This time you’re lucky, but when we meet again, it won’t be so simple!"
With that, the Celestial Demon King waved his long sleeve and swept away, taking the surging dark Evil Qi around him.
Yang Yan looked at the main hall of the Wandering Dragon Alliance, now little more than ruins, yet he didn’t feel the slightest trace of bewilderment.
Seeing the disciples of the Wandering Dragon Alliance all around him staring at him with blazing eyes, he knew clearly that this battle had not worn down the will of the Wandering Dragon Star People.
For ten years, even though billions of Wandering Dragon Star People had died under Evil Qi, one could even say by the hands of their own people, they had never retreated!
This was a war between races.
No matter how powerful the enemy was, the Wandering Dragon Star People would not bow in submission!
This was the pride of the Wandering Dragon Star People, the backbone passed down over tens of thousands of years.
Yang Yan felt their state of mind; hot blood surged through his body as if boiling.
He came from Earth; he was a Descendant of Yan and Huang, and his heart had never truly been here.
Even though on Wandering Dragon Star there were Hu, Lin An, and Guoguo, he still had never felt a sense of belonging.
Yet today, he felt it!
It was something he could only feel standing in the position of Alliance Leader of the Wandering Dragon Alliance—it was faith.
The unwavering faith of all Wandering Dragon Star People in the Wandering Dragon Alliance and in Wandering Dragon Star!
Looking into the eyes of the Wandering Dragon Star People, Yang Yan, at this very moment, truly and clearly felt that he had already acknowledged this planet, acknowledged everyone here.
They had pinned their hopes on Yang Yan; Yang Yan would naturally bear them!
Yang Yan recalled the figure of the Celestial Demon King, and thought of the way his Demon Intent had flowed so freely at the time.
That kind of unrestrained intent that turned the whole world into demons.
Yang Yan’s heart suddenly opened up.
He had already sensed an intent—that intent for the Wandering Dragon Star People, that intent of "all Wandering Dragon Star People return to me."
He felt the energy in his body surging continuously, as if something from outside was being channeled into him, flowing warmly among his five viscera.
That energy was incomparably mysterious, as if illusory and yet truly existing; wherever it passed through his body, all his former injuries vanished completely.
Just then, he noticed something on him stirring slightly.
When he fished it out and took a look, it turned out to be the treasure he had once obtained in the Demon Cave:
the Yin Yang Five Elements Array Map.
At this moment, the Yin Yang Five Elements Array Map was faintly emitting a mysterious radiance, resonating from afar with the warm current in his body.
One bright, one dark—subtle beyond words!
"Kid Yang Yan, this is the Yin Yang Five Elements Array Map." At the side, Nascent Void asked in a somewhat astonished, low voice.
"Do you know how to use it?" Yang Yan had been immersed in the pleasure of his injuries mending, but on hearing this, he hastily asked, "It’s said this Array Map can defeat the Celestial Demon King?!"
Nascent Void looked at him with some surprise. "I didn’t expect you to know about this, but you only know half of it at best."
Nascent Void fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "In Ancient Times, this Array Map was used by the great master Zhao Heng to gather the power of the world and seal Wandering Dragon Star, sparing it from calamity. But do you know how this ’gathering the power of the world’ was actually done?"
Hearing this, many Wandering Dragon Star People grew puzzled. How could such power be gathered? How could people all over the world concentrate their strength in one place to drive the power of a grand array?
Yang Yan was also extremely puzzled, but he thought of how just moments ago this Array Map had resonated with the energy within his body, and couldn’t help muttering, "Could it be related to this power in my body?"
"Yes, it’s exactly this power in your body," Nascent Void continued. "It has a name—Wish Power!"
"Wish Power?"
"Yes!" Nascent Void immediately explained, "Wish Power is the force born when the beliefs of countless people are entrusted to one point. This force is pure and mighty; the stronger the source of Wish Power, the stronger the Wish Power; the more sources of Wish Power, the more Wish Power there will be."
"And this Wish Power comes from all the people of Wandering Dragon Star. Their beliefs have converged upon you, and thus you can resonate with this Yin Yang Five Elements Array Map."
Yang Yan couldn’t help but frown. "But why can’t the four Divinity Transformation experts sense it?"
As he said this, he pointed at Marquis of Nanchuan and the others who were resting and recuperating nearby. "I can feel that there is no such power in their bodies. And also..."
Yang Yan suddenly broke off.
He remembered those scenes from back in the Hidden World.
At that time, there had also been countless cultivators and countless beliefs. Yet why had he not felt the slightest trace back then...
Nascent Void circled Yang Yan a few times before answering, "In fact, what I really don’t understand is why your body can store Wish Power."
"Even you don’t know?" Yang Yan was all the more confused.
Nascent Void smiled wryly and shook his head, explaining, "There are three conditions for the birth of Wish Power. The prerequisite is that the beliefs of countless cultivators must converge on one person; second, one’s strength must reach above Divinity Transformation; third, one must possess a Cultivation Technique for cultivating Wish Power."
"The universe is vast; who knows how many star systems there are before you find even one such Cultivation Technique. And you’ve never even heard of Wish Power, so naturally you couldn’t possibly know."
"As for the realm above Divinity Transformation, that’s even more out of the question. Even if you can leap realms and slay above your level, in terms of the level of life, you’re still just a small cultivator of the Golden Core Realm. How could you possibly store an energy of such a high order as Wish Power?"
"This..." Yang Yan fell silent.
He strongly suspected this might be related to his Flawless Divine Body.
Yang Yan could feel a probing force roaming through his body, and he knew clearly that this was Nascent Void’s power.
"Strange, strange!" As if he had discovered something again, Nascent Void shook his head lightly in puzzlement and said, "Why is it that even I cannot see through your body, as though there are countless Divine Patterns within, covering the sky and blotting out the sun, sealing your body completely!"
