Chapter 862: Trump Card

A violent, booming sound resonated throughout the entire Moon Capital, and waves of white and golden light spread across the sky.

"That guy's strength is truly terrifying!" Yakumo Yukari, who was trading blows with Eirin, took a moment to glance at the sky, her tone carrying a hint of amazement. "I'm actually quite curious now—in this state, has he already used his full power?"

"If this is his full power, then he is certainly no match for Tsukuyomi; after all, this place is the Lunar Surface!" Eirin said.

"Boom—" After a violent collision, the Winged Dragon of Ra, burning with Sun Fire, let out a mournful cry, flew backward dozens of zhang through the sky, and transformed back into Lingyun.

"Tsk, 'home-field advantage' is something that is truly annoying at times!" Lingyun reached out to wipe a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at Tsukuyomi with some displeasure.

As the Moon Goddess, Tsukuyomi could fully utilize the power of the moon while fighting on the Lunar Surface. Every move Lingyun unleashed upon her was diverted to the Moon itself by her using a special method. In other words, if Lingyun's attacks could not penetrate the Moon, he could not inflict damage upon Tsukuyomi. The most frustrating part was that Lingyun could not destroy the Moon; otherwise, the Dragon God would definitely be the first to come knocking, and the current Lingyun did not yet want to meet that legendary Dragon God.

Tsukuyomi's expression remained cold, but the aura on her body grew increasingly powerful. Lingyun could feel the power of the Moon continuously pouring into Tsukuyomi, causing her strength to swell. This was the legendary home-field advantage; Tsukuyomi could use the power of the Moon to attack, defend, and even recover from injuries, all of which the current Lingyun lacked. This situation was the most likely to cause the tide of battle to turn.

"However, Tsukuyomi, did you think I would step onto the Moon to fight you without any preparation?" The Sun Fire on Lingyun's body began to extinguish, but another peculiar power surged up within him.

Seeing Lingyun in this state, Tsukuyomi's pupils could not help but constrict. In her heart, there had always been a thorn: the time Lingyun had previously wielded the power of the moon to crush her avatar in a single blow. If Lingyun also possessed the ability to control the moon, then it was absolutely a huge threat to her.

An invisible force rippled across Lingyun's body, and his attire also underwent a change, transforming into a simple, ancient Daoist robe. On the robe, the sun, moon, and stars were depicted, looking extremely magnificent. At the same time, Lingyun's aura also became ethereal.

"A long time ago, I once had a name, Mingxuan, and I held the office of governing the sun, moon, and stars," Lingyun said indifferently, his aura becoming increasingly heavy and condensed.

"Governing the office of the sun, moon, and stars?" Tsukuyomi gritted her teeth as she spoke these words, and the moonlight around her instantly diminished by forty percent.

"So this is Lingyun's trump card for dealing with Tsukuyomi; this is just too terrifying." At this moment, even Yakumo Yukari could not help but click her tongue. The Moon Radiance around Tsukuyomi had been reduced by forty percent, which represented a forty percent decrease in her control over the moon—and where those forty percent went was easy to imagine.

Around Lingyun, specks of Moon Radiance flickered, and with a single-handed grasp, a crescent moon appeared beside him.

"To have forty percent of your Moon Radiance stripped away by me so easily, it seems you really aren't doing a very good job as a Moon Goddess!" Feeling the Moonlight Power continuously pouring into his body, Lingyun said with a light chuckle.

"You damned thief!" Tsukuyomi was instantly enraged, and terrifying Moonlight Power surged from her body like a flood, carrying the ability to purify all filth as it swept toward Lingyun.

Lingyun raised a hand, and layers upon layers of moonlight wove together in front of him, unexpectedly blocking Tsukuyomi's moonlight impact with ease.

"Night, descend!"

Seeing that the moonlight offensive was ineffective, Tsukuyomi instantly activated another of her divine authorities, and a boundless night instantly enveloped Lingyun. In this world, night was often linked to death; situated within the darkness, Lingyun could feel an inexplicable force attempting to erode his body, wanting to drag him into death. Even in this darkness, Lingyun discovered that his sensory abilities had weakened.

"If this move were used against others, it would indeed be quite useful, but using it against me is your greatest mistake." Lingyun raised his hand, and endless moonlight easily tore through the night.

The moment the night was torn apart, Lingyun's figure flashed and vanished from the spot along with the moonlight. Tsukuyomi suddenly appeared where he had just been, her blade sweeping out horizontally. If Lingyun had still been in that spot, he would have been pierced by the blade in Tsukuyomi's hand nine times out of ten.

"A very sharp attack, but unfortunately it didn't hit me!" Lingyun's figure flashed, appearing before Tsukuyomi, starlight lingering on his right fist as he struck heavily toward her. "Now it's my turn, Star Fall!"

Tsukuyomi subconsciously mobilized the power of the Moon to defend, but discovered she could only mobilize twenty percent of the Moon's power for defense. This power was completely unable to withstand Lingyun's attack; Lingyun's fist pierced through Tsukuyomi's defense and struck her heavily.

Tsukuyomi let out a mournful cry, divine blood sprayed out, and her body slammed into the great hall like a meteorite, smashing directly through the entire structure.

"Tsukuyomi... is injured?" Eirin's tone was full of astonishment. She could no longer remember when Tsukuyomi was last injured because it had been too long ago, but now, a human had made Tsukuyomi experience the feeling of being injured once again.

"Human! You have angered me!" A cold voice rose into the sky along with the moonlight. Tsukuyomi wore a look of rage, and in her hand, she held a bright moon, releasing terrifying power.

"Is this... a supreme treasure condensed from the Moon?" Lingyun looked at that bright moon, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Tsukuyomi raised the bright moon in her hand, and an incomparably terrifying power gathered frantically before her; Lingyun could even feel the moonlight around his body faintly showing signs of being pulled away.

Facing this situation, Lingyun did not dare to be careless. He raised his hands slightly, and the Yin Yang Power of the sun and moon gathered on his palms, forming a peculiar white-and-gold Taiji Diagram.

"Die!" Tsukuyomi's power reached its peak, and she suddenly hurled the bright moon in her hand toward Lingyun.

Lingyun pushed his hands forward, and a massive Taiji Diagram rose from around his body, meeting the bright moon falling from the sky.

The moment the bright moon and the Taiji Diagram collided, a powerful booming sound resonated throughout the entire Lunar Surface, and a massive wave of light suddenly spread in all directions, instantly swallowing both Tsukuyomi and Lingyun.
