Chapter 827: Silver Dragon

This place was quite eerie. In fact, the moment Xu Yang and Yun Xiao stepped in, both of them had a premonition. However, since there was no tangible manifestation of any special power, neither of them voiced their concerns. As they ventured deeper into this disorienting area, the unsettling feeling intensified.

Until a terrifying roar suddenly descended...

Xu Yang instinctively shielded Yun Xiao. In an instant, at the far end of their vision, the distant reaches of this space, an incredibly translucent dragon totem materialized out of thin air.

The dragon was a hundred meters long. The moment it soared into the air, it blotted out the sky, and its entire body emitted a silvery light as pure as the bright moon.

"This must be a Silver Dragon!" Xu Yang exclaimed. "It's the most ancient and rarest bloodline among the ancient dragons, also known as the Jade Dragon. I never expected to encounter such a powerful elder of the Dragon Clan in this place."

Xu Yang had never harbored any strong animosity towards the Dragon Clan.

This was because the Dragon Clan had bestowed upon him an immense amount of heritage and knowledge.

The fact that Xu Yang had reached his current level, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest beings in the entire cosmic system, was largely due to the immense help he received from several Dragon Clan inheritances years ago.

Therefore, upon seeing this powerful and noble Silver Dragon, Xu Yang did not immediately reveal his power, but instead gazed at it with clear and calm eyes.

"We both come from the desolate ends of the world," Xu Yang stated. "We do not belong to this continent, and our arrival in this special space was accidental, purely a matter of fate."

"I do know something of the esteemed Silver Dragon's reputation. Could it be that this space was also created by the Dragon Clan?"

Xu Yang's voice was remarkably clear and resonant. It swiftly traversed the void and reached the ears of the silver-glowing dragon before him.

However, this sky-shrouding Silver Dragon did not temper its sharp demeanor in the slightest despite Xu Yang's respectful attitude.

"This space has long been sealed by a top-tier expert," the Silver Dragon boomed. "Without a special mission, no energy entering here can be activated. Moreover, you two outsiders have trespassed here, which is a capital offense."

"Esteemed Silver Dragon," Xu Yang replied, "I have a profound connection with the Dragon Clan, and I do not wish to be your enemy. But if you continue to press us, we will have no choice but to retaliate in kind, to stop killing with killing."

Xu Yang's final words were deliberately spoken with great emphasis, clearly stating his resolve.

The Silver Dragon, however, burst into laughter, displaying an air of arrogant superiority.

"For a mere human to cultivate to this realm," the Silver Dragon sneered, "you are indeed a prodigy of the human race."

"But if you dare to challenge me merely because of your extraordinary strength," it continued, "you are still too young. For someone like you, with insufficient luck, to arrive here prematurely, only one fate awaits you: annihilation!"

Xu Yang smiled coldly. "I'm usually the one saying that to others. You're probably not the first to threaten me, but you'll be the last one to say it and live."

After this brief exchange, Xu Yang realized the other party was not as friendly as he had imagined. He therefore had no further reservations.

At this moment, only Yun Xiao knew Xu Yang's true identity. Xu Yang had no reason to conceal his strength or trump cards. The moment he soared into the air, the Jade Bone Divine Sword perfectly appeared in his hand.

Before the two sides could engage, the mere appearance of the Jade Bone Divine Sword's aura from Xu Yang clearly caused a huge emotional fluctuation in the Silver Dragon before him.

"Boy, where did you get that sword?" the Silver Dragon demanded.

Seeing the Silver Dragon's keen interest in his Jade Bone Divine Sword, Xu Yang realized it must have recognized something. Without hesitation, he directly revealed the sword's origin.

Especially when Xu Yang uttered the name "Yun Wangji", the Silver Dragon's spiritual energy fluctuated even more intensely.

"Hahaha, I can't believe we waited hundreds of thousands of years," the Silver Dragon roared, "only to finally meet Yun Wangji's successor! Is this fate's arrangement? Excellent, we finally have a chance for revenge! Noble Goddess of the Moon, please descend yourself to preside over the judgment of this sinner!"

The Silver Dragon seemed extraordinarily agitated. Yet, from its words and demeanor, it was clear that it was determined to oppose Xu Yang.

Furthermore, it seemed to harbor a deep-seated hatred for Yun Wangji!

The Silver Dragon soared into the air. In the dim void, it twisted and turned several times, ultimately merging its true form into an incredibly brilliant full moon totem.

The moment that full moon rose, from the edge of the moon, an incredibly radiant silhouette of a maiden rapidly condensed. She appeared to step out of the void, and in mere moments, descended before Xu Yang and Yun Xiao.

The girl's entire body shimmered with silver light, incredibly sacred and pure. Her appearance also seemed to stir the immensely powerful Angelic bloodline within Xu Yang.

"You are Yun Wangji's successor?" the maiden spoke. "Then no one can change your fate today. You must fall by my hand. This is the sole promise I have waited hundreds of thousands of years to fulfill."

The girl's power was astonishing. With a gentle raise of her hand towards Xu Yang, an invisible pressure instantly descended!

Xu Yang had no doubt about the woman's strength; it was almost comparable to that of past Angels of God.

Without further hesitation, Xu Yang immediately unleashed the Fallen Angelic power he inherited from the Goddess Yue Xiu.

At the same time, the powerful Divine Law of Light descended, helping Xu Yang dissolve the special barrier the maiden had cast around him.

"The Divine Law of Light!" the maiden exclaimed. "Not only did you inherit Yun Wangji's power, but you also obtained the power of the Angel Yue Xiu!"

"Excellent! You are the culmination of all my hatred! Once I slay you, my obsession of hundreds of thousands of years can finally be released."

The Maiden of the Moon was truly perfect. From head to toe, not a single flaw could be found on her.

Her exquisite beauty, the sacred moonlight that enveloped her, her every frown and smile, every movement, seemed to be possessed only by a perfect goddess from myths.

Even her voice was melodious!

However, the killing intent revealed in the girl's eyes made Xu Yang feel a power he had never encountered before, a power that even surpassed annihilation!

"Moonlight Slash!"

The moment the Maiden of the Moon spoke, an incredibly powerful slashing force materialized out of thin air, instantly locking onto Xu Yang's body.

Yun Xiao, standing behind Xu Yang, unhesitatingly stepped in front of him, intending to block this fatal blow.
