My Celestial Ascension Chapter 956: Yuan Taking Action

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A succession of deafening explosions reverberated across the battlefield as Valeria continued her relentless assault on the Undead Dragons in the sky, their ethereal blue flames engulfing the heavens.

The sheer might of these explosions unleashed colossal shockwaves that swept violently across the entire warzone.

Had Rose and the others not intervened to shield them, the allied forces would have been annihilated by these powerful tremors.

Nevertheless, a significant number within the allied ranks still felt the terrifying surge of power emanating from the shockwaves, plunging them into a state of overwhelming despair.

Fortunately, due to Rose and her companions intercepting the shockwaves before they could reach the front lines, the allied forces managed to avert catastrophic casualties.

Many lives would have been extinguished by the shockwaves alone, not even considering the direct combat.

The Undead Dragons persistently unleashed an unending barrage of attacks towards the allied forces, yet they endured, thanks to the timely intervention of Rose and her group.

Rose and the others effortlessly deflected these assaults, retaliated against the Undead Dragons, and vanquished them before they could launch further attacks on the allied soldiers.

As dawn approached and the sun began its slow ascent, another pressing issue surfaced on the battlefield.

Thankfully, the ominous dark clouds that shrouded the sky still offered temporary protection for the vampires. However, the moment these clouds dissipated, their situation would become dire.

Vampire King Evander approached Emperor Rhex, his expression fraught with concern, and addressed him, "Your Majesty, my people must retreat to the encampment without delay."

"In mere moments, sunlight will grace this battlefield. Should my people fail to reach a sanctuary in time, it will spell disaster for us. I trust you comprehend our predicament."

"You are permitted to lead your people back to safety. And I extend my gratitude for your steadfast assistance thus far," Emperor Rhex responded without hesitation.

With that, King Evander immediately commanded his kin to withdraw towards shelter, ensuring they were safely away before the sun's rays could touch the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Valeria continued her unyielding assault on the Undead Dragons, channeling her Sword Aura into her weapon and producing devastating explosions with every single blow.

Concurrently, Rose and her compatriots persisted in defending the allied forces against both the shockwaves and the onslaught of the Undead Dragons.

Yuan observed Valeria's fierce engagement with the Undead Dragons, a look of pride gracing his features as he noted her significant advancement in mastering her Sword Aura.

"She has improved remarkably since before... observe how easily she dispatches the Undead Dragons..." Yuan remarked softly, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

In contrast to her previous state, Valeria's nascent Sword Aura now appeared considerably more potent and polished. Before, her Sword Aura had resembled a thin sheet of brittle ice—volatile and unrefined.

However, her current Sword Aura was dense, hardened, and far more sophisticated. It could now cleave through the formidable bones of the dragons and obliterate the hardened cores concealed within them with ease.

"I cannot offer extensive commentary on this, as I have never witnessed her fight in such a manner before... but her Sword Aura is already approaching the realm of true Sword Aura," Long Yuyan stated composedly.

She then continued, "Should she persist in her current rate of improvement, she will undoubtedly attain true Sword Aura. And upon achieving that, her future as a Sword Master will be boundless."

"Indeed," Yuan concurred, his smile widening.

Nevertheless, Valeria still needed to unravel the remaining mysteries on her own. Yuan was unable to directly assist her in perfecting her Sword Aura, as such an accomplishment was intrinsically tied to individual comprehension and understanding.

As Valeria's grasp of the sword deepened, she would naturally awaken the true Sword Aura herself. Ultimately, the realization hinged entirely upon her inherent talent and perception.

Subsequently, their gazes shifted towards Anna Grace on the battlefield, who was clearly toying with the Undead King.

She was not exerting herself in the slightest. In truth, she was leisurely taking her time while engaging her adversary. Yet, despite her nonchalant demeanor during the skirmish, each of her strikes was executed with meticulous precision and unpredictability.

And with every attack she landed, she inflicted deep wounds upon the Undead King's form. However, these blows were still insufficient to end his existence.

Witnessing this ruthless and savage aspect of Anna Grace, both Isolde and Nerith were left in a state of profound shock.

They found it difficult to reconcile this with the gentle and loving woman they had come to know. From their vantage point, it felt as though their future mother-in-law had inexplicably transformed into an entirely different individual.

"Th-That cannot possibly be the same person..." Nerith stammered, her voice laced with astonishment, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Isolde stood beside her, nodding slowly in agreement. "I concur..."

Yuan observed the ongoing conflict with a palpable sense of boredom washing over him. He had grown weary of witnessing his companions battle, and the war seemed to be stretching on without end.

’This is clearly becoming a waste of time... Should I just step in and end this quickly?’ he pondered internally while observing the ongoing battle.

Angela, positioned quite near him, noticed the expression on his face and moved closer.

"What’s with that look, dear? Are you feeling tired?" she inquired gently, wrapping her arms around him from behind and pressing her chest softly against his back.

"I’m getting bored, Grandma. I believe this war will continue to drag on if I don’t intervene and conclude it myself," Yuan replied quietly, exhaling a soft sigh.

"It certainly seems that way to me as well. Valeria alone isn’t sufficient to eliminate all the Undead Dragons by herself. You should take action—you are a man, after all," Angela whispered softly into his ear.

"You are correct, Grandma. Besides, it would tarnish my image as a man if I let my wives handle everything alone."

"Unfortunately, that is how the world perceives these sorts of situations," Angela sighed softly before slowly releasing him. "Most people in this world still do not place women on the same level as men."

"Just disregard those individuals. Their opinions have no bearing on us," Yuan responded casually with a smile, prompting a faint smile to appear on Angela’s face.

"You truly are a smooth talker, my dear. No wonder you managed to seduce your own grandmother... fufu~" Angela chuckled softly before bestowing a quick kiss upon him.

Yuan let out a charming chuckle before replying, "Well, I am simply too handsome and irresistible for you to resist... furthermore, you are far too beautiful for me to ignore."

"If you continue saying things like that, I shall drag you straight into the tent this very instant and won't let you leave for who knows how long," Angela retorted with a bold smirk, her posture exuding a seductive charm.

"Fine, fine. I shall cease teasing you..." Yuan sighed softly before turning his attention towards the others.

"I have decided to step in and conclude this battle as swiftly as possible so that we may concentrate on our true objective," Yuan informed everyone before summoning his sword from his system storage.

Without uttering another word, he soared directly towards the hundreds of Undead Dragons dominating the sky.

"Oh? So he has finally chosen to take action. Things were becoming dull anyway, and now I am finally getting excited," Long Yuyan muttered softly, unable to conceal the faint smile that graced her lips.

—

Yuan suddenly materialized beside Valeria in mid-air, griping his sword firmly with both hands while a wide grin spread across his face as he raised the blade high above him.

"Leave these bothersome lizards to me and find a safe spot. Things are about to get extremely messy here," Yuan told her as a massive surge of Qi erupted from his body.

Valeria immediately nodded with a serious expression and retreated a considerable distance from Yuan and the Undead Dragons.

She had already witnessed the terrifying power Yuan was capable of unleashing with his sword, and she was certain he was about to replicate something similar to the incident at the Holy Church back on the Human Continent.

All the Undead Dragons instantly focused their attention on Yuan the moment they sensed the immense quantity of Qi radiating from his body.

They roared furiously at him before charging at maximum speed, their aggression intensifying far more than before.

It was almost as if they had instinctively perceived a threat capable of ending their existence, driving them into a complete frenzy.

Meanwhile, Anna Grace was still engaged in combat with the Undead King when she suddenly paused after sensing the enormous surge of Qi erupting from the distance.

A wide grin immediately materialized on her face, leaving the Undead King bewildered.

She turned towards him and declared, "It appears your Undead Dragons are about to be annihilated. My darling has finally decided to handle matters personally."

"Your darling? I do not quite comprehend what you mea—" His words abruptly ceased the moment his senses detected something, causing his entire body to freeze instantly.

He immediately turned towards the location of the Undead Dragons, and the instant he witnessed what was transpiring, his jaw nearly detached and fell to the ground.

"W-What in the world is this monstrous power...?!!!" the Undead King exclaimed in utter disbelief.

"It is my darling’s doing. You shall comprehend in mere moments."

Suddenly, Anna Grace’s voice, filled with pride, echoed across the battlefield.

A blinding radiance enveloped the massive sword in Yuan’s hand as the Undead Dragons charged directly towards him. He calmly awaited their approach so that he could eliminate every single one of them with a single, decisive strike.

"Empyreal Severing Sword Strike...!" Yuan uttered the name of the technique in a low, resonant voice.

A colossal pillar of light speared through the oppressive dark clouds, ascending vertically into the heavens and bathing the surrounding world in its radiance. Seizing this opportune moment, Yuan unleashed the full, unbridled power of his strike.

This torrent of light rapidly expanded, growing so immense and fiercely bright that direct observation became impossible.

The devastating assault surged onward, an unstoppable force that annihilated all in its trajectory, ultimately consuming the Undead Dragons.

Upon contact, the dragons' very bones turned to vapor. They were afforded no chance to evade or react, such was the terrifying velocity of the strike.

Yuan had not only poured an immense volume of Spiritual Energy into this technique but also a substantial amount of Sword Aura, amplifying its destructive potential manifold.

In an instant, every single Undead Dragon vanished from existence, leaving the battlefield in a state of shock from this preposterous display of might.

Yet, the assault's destructive march did not cease; it continued its relentless advance, obliterating all obstacles.

Mere moments after, the attack met a colossal sand mountain, instigating a violent seismic event that reverberated through the entire battlefield.

Consequently, the enormous sand mass was utterly obliterated, leaving behind a colossal, gaping crater in its wake.

All who beheld this spectacle were rendered speechless, with some even collapsing, overwhelmed by the sheer impossibility of what they had just witnessed.

"There, the Undead Dragons are gone now... What remains are only a few thousand lowly undead and their king..." Yuan stated softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

He then cast a glance towards the immense crater, exhaling gently. "It appears I exerted a little too much power with that attack... although, I can't truly fault myself for it."
