218: One city, two real names!

Inside the Tianyan Battle Realm.

Luo Yan's body transformed into countless specks of light, completely dissipating.

The victor was decided.

In the New Moon Plaza's teleportation zone, a flash of light appeared, and the Heavenly Wolf Guard Legion Commander stumbled into view.

He instinctively lowered his head, looking at his neck.

There wasn't a single scratch there.

Yet, the icy sensation of being grazed by the pale sword intent felt as if it was directly etched onto his soul, impossible to erase.

He slowly raised his head, meeting the gaze of Cui Bi, who was equally dazed, not far away.

Both saw the same emotion on each other's faces.

Confusion, and a deep-seated, bone-chilling defeat.

It was over.

Their proud ace legion, their supreme dignity as legendary powerhouses.

All were crushed to dust in this ridiculously short mock battle.

On the viewing platform, an eerie silence had fallen at some point.

All clamor, all discussions, had vanished.

The Central Army Group's most renowned ace, the Heavenly Wolf Guard.

Before the Abyssal Thunder Dragon Riders of Infinite City, they were as fragile as a group of new recruits who had just picked up weapons.

This was a complete and utter crush.

A comprehensive crush from tactics, soldiers, to legendary commanders.

In the Central Army Group's seats, General Wei Feng finally could no longer maintain his outward composure.

Boom!

A vast and profound aura, like a volcanic eruption, surged from him, shooting straight into the sky.

The pressure belonging to a Legendary 17th-tier powerhouse materialized into a tangible storm.

It pressed towards the Southern Territory's seats, towards that young lord sitting motionlessly!

"General Wei Feng! How dare you!"

Xiang Tian roared furiously, his voice like thunder.

All the crimson dragon patterns on his general's armor lit up.

An equally domineering and unmatched aura shot into the sky, like an awakened red dragon, about to meet that storm.

In the main seat, Lin Yuan's gaze turned completely cold.

Behind him, a phantom chessboard composed of countless light dots flickered into existence, ready to block all of General Wei Feng's pressure.

And at this very moment.

Another completely different, yet all-surpassing aura, quietly rose.

Lin Yuan's movements paused involuntarily.

He turned his head, looking at Su Jin beside him, his face showing surprise.

Su Jin remained in his seat, not even changing his posture.

However, his originally calm eyes had undergone an unbelievable change.

In his left eye, stars were born and fell, and the boundless sea of stars flowed and ebbed.

In his right eye, mountains and rivers rose and collapsed, and billions of lives proliferated and perished.

The vast and magnificent primordial power of the Adran World was pouring into his body without reservation.

A "momentum" that defied description, transcending power and laws, emanated from Su Jin.

He did not stand up.

He did not speak.

He simply raised his eyes, and his gaze, carrying the wrath of thunder, lightly brushed against General Wei Feng's in the air.

In an instant, General Wei Feng's terrifying aura, powerful enough to crush mountains, was smoothed out, erased.

Silently, effortlessly.

As if this world did not permit the existence of a second will.

At the same time.

A grand, majestic voice, as if from the source of the Great Dao, echoed in the heart of every being present.

"Heaven's Mandate."

In the Central Army Group's seats, General Wei Feng was struck by lightning, his entire body frozen in place.

True Name Unleashed!

Another True Name Unleashed!

If Bai Xiao's "Annihilation" True Name was the sharpness and finality of reaching the pinnacle of the sword dao, a peak of "technique."

Then Su Jin's "Heaven's Mandate" True Name was the authority and decree of ruling the world, a manifestation of "Dao"!

One was an unparalleled swordsman.

The other, however, was an emperor who controlled the universe!

In the plaza, the generals who had not yet recovered from the previous battle now felt their minds were no longer sufficient.

"I... I didn't mishear, did I? Another... True Name?"

"One city, two True Names... This, this is..."

A Southern Territory general was so excited he swore, but found he couldn't find any words to describe the shock in his heart.

A family with two Legendary powerhouses was already a powerful noble family.

What did one city with two True Names mean?

It meant that given enough time, Su Jin and Bai Xiao had a very high chance of both stepping into the Demigod realm!

A territory with two Demigods guarding it would be an absolute strategic stronghold that even the entire Blue Star Alliance could not ignore!

Everyone's gaze converged on Su Jin.

At some point.

A phantom robe woven from starlight and shadow appeared on him, like an emperor's ceremonial attire.

It made him appear supremely majestic, sacred and inviolable.

He simply sat there quietly, yet he naturally became the center of this world.

General Wei Feng stood there, caught between a rock and a hard place.

He could clearly feel that the other party's rank might not be as high as his.

But the level of power the other party wielded was already not weaker than his, and perhaps... even surpassed his.

If he dared to make a move again, Lin Yuan would certainly not stand by, and by then...

His gaze involuntarily shifted to the teleportation zone.

Luo Yan and Cui Bi stood there like two soulless statues, dazed.

Their armor was intact, but their eyes were empty, as if they had lost their souls.

That was the look of a Dao Heart completely shattered.

Seeing this scene, General Wei Feng's last sliver of hope completely extinguished.

He lost.

He lost completely, without any suspense.

He slowly withdrew all of his aura.

His perfectly straight back seemed to be slightly hunched at this moment.

He turned to Su Jin, then glanced at Lin Yuan in the main seat.

Finally, he spoke in a dry voice.

"...It was this old man who was rash."

"In this exercise, my Central Army Group concedes."

"The stakes will be delivered to the Southern Territory Army in three days."

After speaking, he no longer lingered, turning and walking out of the plaza.

The Central Army Group's generals exchanged glances.

Finally, one by one, looking dejected, they quickly followed him.

The grand momentum of their arrival and their current disheveled departure formed an incredibly ironic contrast.

It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared.

That the solidified atmosphere in New Moon Plaza finally broke, turning into a sky-high clamor.

"My heavens! They won! Just like that?"

"More than just winning, they scared the wits out of the Heavenly Wolf Guard! Did you see Luo Yan? He probably won't recover for years."

"What kind of Heavenly Wolf Guard? Who would dare brag about them in front of me now? In front of our Abyssal Thunder Dragon Riders, they're just a dish!"

The Southern Territory generals could no longer restrain themselves, their faces flushed with excitement.

Xiang Tian even threw his head back and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! What a thrill!"

Lin Yuan looked at Su Jin, his eyes complex.

There was admiration, relief, but more than that, a feeling of awe for the younger generation that even he hadn't noticed.

He knew.

From today onwards, the weight of the words "Infinite City" would be completely different.

Its future was limitless.

...

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Red Moon Land.

Alliance Marshal General Qin Wu's usually placid eyes rippled.

He unconsciously rubbed the old scar on his brow bone with his thumb and forefinger.

After a long while.

He finally uttered a single sentence softly.

"This era is truly becoming more and more interesting."
