Chapter 1407: Crushing Long Kun

As expected, Dragon Lord Long Kun's fighting style was simple and brutal. His crescent-shaped ring emitted a dazzling silver light, and the aura emanating from this moon halo felt incredibly familiar to Xu Yang.

It was a unique light and fluctuation imbued with the essence of moonlight, resonating deeply within Xu Yang. As a master of the Angelic lineage, possessing the bloodline of the Angel God and wielding the Law of Light God, he felt an intense resonance from within.

This was because the sun and moon, light and darkness, always exist in a delicate balance of opposition and symbiosis.

Extreme light often corresponds to extreme darkness. Similarly, the ultimate form of the Law of Light God can only be countered by the legendary Moonlight Divine Power.

This was precisely why two golden beams shot from Xu Yang's pupils, striking the surface of the moon halo before him and revealing astonishing details.

The patterns on this moon halo were actually engraved with ancient and complex, long-lost inscriptions. In Dragon Lord Long Kun's palm, these inscriptions served as the optimal medium for him to draw stellar energy from the sky. However, he was unaware that these patterns could actually nurture true moon essence.

Unfortunately, in an era without a moon, even mastering the legacy of the Full Moon lineage had no practical use.

"Could it be that this guy was born with the inherited power of the Moon lineage? If so, then the mysterious ancient tree that gave birth to him must contain a complete record of Yingzhou Continent before the emergence of the Moonless Sky.

If I could make close contact with this ancient tree, I might truly gain some unimaginable, crucial clues."

Such thoughts arose in Xu Yang's mind, but he also knew that for close contact with the ancient tree, he first had to defeat Dragon Lord Long Kun.

Their relationship was akin to that of a father and son, and currently, Xu Yang was still considered Dragon Lord Long Kun's enemy. How could he possibly approach the entity Long Kun regarded as a father figure without first conquering him?

The terrifying moon halo, under Dragon Lord Long Kun's formidable offensive, slashed down from the sky.

The terrifying crescent-shaped halo flew towards Xu Yang's illusory body, imposing a coercive sense of oppression.

However, Xu Yang's illusory body merely revealed a cold smile.

The next moment, the Ice Emperor Tower artifact appeared. Xu Yang unhesitatingly granted his illusory body the authority to unleash the main artifact of the Ice Defense Tower. In an instant, the immensely powerful Ice Emperor Tower main artifact descended around Xu Yang's illusory body.

It directly and forcefully blocked the moon halo before him in the most brutal manner, relying entirely on the Ice Emperor Tower's incredibly resilient and formidable properties.

This was the strongest main god, capable of almost ignoring any elemental force on the entire Yingzhou Continent. It was also once the personal possession of the Sword Immortal. How could it possibly be shaken by mere mortal powers?

The instant the Ice Emperor Tower appeared, it meant that Xu Yang's illusory body could not possibly end this battle in defeat. With Dragon Lord Long Kun's current combat power, he absolutely could not shake an inherited object belonging to an existence like the Sword Immortal God.

"You can actually obtain a divine inherited main artifact. It seems I still underestimated the fortune of you, the strongest human. There's no way I can win this battle, and continuing to fight is utterly pointless."

Hearing Dragon Lord Long Kun's words, Xu Yang's illusory body gave a cold smile and, with a gentle wave of his hand, simply put the Ice Emperor Tower away again.

"Indeed, suppressing you with a main artifact would be somewhat unsporting. Wouldn't it bring me greater pleasure to conquer you in the very manner you are most proud of?

It appears your greatest pride lies in your offensive capabilities. In that case, I will make you lose convincingly using the very same sword dao legacy."

After Xu Yang's illusory body finished speaking, the Jade Bone Divine Sword swiftly vanished into the void. He intended to end the battle quickly on his own.

The best way to prove his mastery in the way of the sword was to combine with the Law of Void, using it to stack his ultimate killing sword. After several consecutive stacks in the void, the terrifying sword glow unleashed a dazzling, heaven-piercing sword energy.

The instant it took shape, the entire Yingzhou Continent's void laws trembled, and an immense, invisible pressure filled the heavens and earth.

When this five-times stacked sword glow once again sliced through the void and struck towards Dragon Lord Long Kun's true body below...

Only then did Dragon Lord Long Kun finally understand the true extent of Xu Yang's power, the supreme human expert standing before him.

"With power like yours, you could even contend with the gods of Yingzhou Continent without fear."

He, however, was unaware that this sword was merely Xu Yang's ultimate killing sword with the Jade Bone Divine Sword stacked five times. If it were stacked twenty times, the inherent laws of Yingzhou Continent would be instantly shattered.

As for how many times Xu Yang could stack the power of his ultimate killing sword when exerting his strongest peak combat power, while ignoring the constraints of space-time law limits, even he had never experienced it.

However, Xu Yang clearly knew that if he used all the power gathered by the swallowing force of the tenth qi vortex, and simultaneously stacked it with the Law of Void, then the ultimate killing sword he unleashed should be able to stack over thirty times.

Xu Yang had not used power of that intensity for several hundred years. He also looked forward to the day he could meet the legendary Sword Immortal, who had ruled the Great World hundreds of thousands of years ago, within the framework of Yingzhou Continent, and engage in the ultimate battle spanning time and space.

This would finally determine who was truly superior in the domain of sword dao.

Currently, Xu Yang's original power cultivation system had reached its peak. Although he had already comprehended the Wuji Sword Dao, Xu Yang always felt that his mastery in the way of the sword could still reach a higher level.

At the very least, when comparing his sword dao mastery with that of the Sword Immortal, Xu Yang wasn't absolutely confident of victory.

This was also the only path he saw for further improvement.

As for physical cultivation, Xu Yang possessed the flawless Angel bloodline, which was already in its perfect and optimal state within the Great World system.

There was no possibility of further improvement at the bloodline level. However, if his physical strength could be further tempered by the myriad laws of the Great World, he might achieve even greater enhancement. Still, these were not matters Xu Yang needed to consider at the moment.

As this five-times stacked, most powerful sword glow descended from the sky, shattering every obstacle in its path...

Dragon Lord Long Kun had already realized he was facing impending doom. Yet, just as he slowly closed his eyes, calmly accepting his fate...

Xu Yang's illusory body suddenly retracted his palm, causing the world-destroying sword glow to hover a mere inch above Long Kun's head. Ultimately, he did not unleash the full power of the sword onto Dragon Lord Long Kun's body.

"Have you forgotten? My promise to you just now: even if I conquer you, I will absolutely not take your life in this battle.

From now on, we are even."

With a gentle wave of his palm, the destructive sword glow's aura instantly dissipated.

However, the ability to control such a terrifying sword strike at will was a realm far beyond what Dragon Lord Long Kun could ever hope to match.

Without a doubt, after this battle, Dragon Lord Long Kun was utterly convinced by Xu Yang's strength. He no longer regarded Xu Yang as an opponent, but as a leader to be respected with worshipful reverence.
