Chapter 660: From a Formidable Rival's Affirmation

Isis teased with a half-smile, "Zi Kuang is right, you're too carefree. However, regarding Chenxi Riluo's strength in this battle, I don't need to remind you; you must maintain sufficient control."

Xu Yang's gaze ahead became serious again, and he couldn't help but curl his lips into a disdainful sneer.

"If I can't even defeat a mere Divine General from the God Realm, then what right do I, Xu Yang, have to conquer the Moonless Heavens?"

The next moment, an unexpected scene unfolded: Xu Yang proactively drew his Jade Bone Divine Sword and charged towards his opponent.

"Heh, Xu Yang, Xu Yang, your approach truly surprises me! Do you naively believe I wouldn't dare to harm you?"

"No, Chenxi Riluo, you're mistaken. I'm not challenging you, but rather your most cherished Law of Light! Since the God King has commanded you not to harm me, you'll surely hold back even if you attack. That won't be your strongest form, and I, Xu Yang, disdain fighting someone who's deliberately holding back. Since today isn't the day for our ultimate showdown, I will use my own power to dismantle your Law of Light."

Undoubtedly, Xu Yang chose a method that would both prove his strength and serve another purpose. He knew very well that given Chenxi Riluo's power, no matter how he parried, he absolutely couldn't perfectly withstand his formidable techniques. Consequently, he wouldn't be able to protect his teammates.

To prevent his companions from being injured, Xu Yang had to forge a new path. He proactively challenged Chenxi Riluo, believing that if he could somehow crush his dignity, Chenxi Riluo would no longer desire to attack.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yang finally decided to target Chenxi Riluo's Law of Light.

"Haven't you always yearned for the power of light? Then today, I'll use my strength to prove that the power of the Moon lineage can utterly overwhelm your Law of Light!"

Upon hearing Xu Yang's declaration, Chenxi Riluo couldn't help but burst into boisterous laughter, his expression as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Do you know why I've always looked down on you beings from the lower realms, treating you like ants? It's not because you lack innate powerful talents, but because you constantly indulge in fanciful, delusional dreams. If the Moon lineage were truly that powerful, then how could there be a Moonless Heavens? For eternity, within the divine domain, the sun has been the supreme belief of the Law of Light, the only ultimate glory that all gods revere. In contrast, what is the current status of the Angel lineage, who worship the power of the moon? They have long since been reduced to bloodline resources, plundered by various major powers across the heavens, becoming mere sustenance for the different divine races!"

Xu Yang scoffed at this assertion, the murderous intent in his eyes intensifying further.

"I know you've always been arrogant and obstinate. Unless I conquer you with tangible power, you'll never abandon your ignorant beliefs. So today, I will make you face a new reality about yourself."

In the next instant, a new, brilliant moon slowly ascended behind Xu Yang. The radiant Moon Totem emitted the most dazzling lunar light, quickly enveloping everyone in his faction and covering nearly half of the battlefield's void.

Chenxi Riluo showed no further countermeasures; he merely continued to infuse an endless stream of light energy into the Law of Light before him.

"Hahaha, unleash your strongest power! Let me see what you, the moon's representative, are truly capable of."

Without further hesitation, Xu Yang raised his Jade Bone Divine Sword, which was imbued with immense power of judgment by the Moon Totem behind him.

Because the Jade Bone Divine Sword was a supreme artifact capable of nullifying the God-Sealing Order, Xu Yang could, at this moment, perfectly combine the power of the Moon Totem with the sword in his hand. His strength finally shattered the curse that restricted power below the divine level in Night Cold Mountain.

"Oh my god, the true power beyond the divine level has finally manifested in our leader! He ultimately fulfilled his promise, becoming an existence that transcends the God-Sealing Ridge."

Shi Lingyun's gaze at the battlefield became a mixture of fascination and solemnity. Deep in her heart, her admiration for Xu Yang intensified; she even realized she had fallen deeply in love with her leader.

What an extraordinary man he was, capable of single-handedly stirring up chaos in the divine realm with these mere mortals!

Before meeting Xu Yang and joining his team, Shi Lingyun would never have imagined that she could one day stand before one of the Divine Realm's Four Great Divine Generals and still hold her head high.

All of this, undoubtedly, was a gift from Xu Yang.

*Rumble!*

In an instant, Xu Yang's sword cleaved through the air. The strike seemed capable of shattering stars and rending the firmament, unleashing an unstoppable wave of destructive power. The moment this sword light erupted, Isis, watching below, seemed to see a resurgence of Yun Wangji from his prime—a figure whose mere silhouette had once captivated her, now seemingly re-emerging in Xu Yang.

However, Isis knew full well that even the Yun Wangji of old could scarcely compare to the power of Xu Yang's current sword strike.

"It's too powerful. Such strength would have been incredibly difficult even for my younger self to resist."

"Wherever the lunar sword gleam passed, it seemed to carry an irresistible tearing sensation, infinitely delaying the healing process of the shattered void. This meant that the damaged rift in the void became a perfect conduit for devouring the power of light."

True to his word, Xu Yang maintained his unique fighting style. From beginning to end, he unleashed not a single ounce of power against Chenxi Riluo himself, but instead continuously attacked the purest form of the Law of Light.

Finally, cracks began to appear in the void surrounding the Law of Light. These shattered void rifts, suppressed by Xu Yang's Lunar inheritance, had their healing process infinitely delayed. As a result, they could only restore their capacity to repair the void by continuously devouring the essence of the surrounding Law of Light.

In this manner, the suppressive force unleashed by the Law of Light was continuously dismantled by these endless rifts in the void.

"I can't believe Xu Yang devised such a method to indirectly suppress the direct strength of the opponent's Law of Light. I must admit, he is an absolute genius on the battlefield, an almost perfect leader."
