Chapter 873: You Are Not a Person of This World

In a pure white world, two giant dragons, one gold and one white, were constantly dancing and circling in the Void.

If an ordinary person were to see this scene, they would likely be mesmerized by its aesthetic beauty, although the disparity in size between the two dragons was truly quite stark.

However, seeing how Earth, Fire, Wind, and Thunder were reversed in the space around them, and how various attacks were crazily entangled, one would know what terrifying power was contained within their dance.

"Human, I am truly curious, are you really not a dragon? To think you have even mastered the Dragon Race's highest secret technique, the Dragon Dance, to such a profound level." The Dragon God stopped her body, and a trace of curiosity appeared in her gaze as she looked at Lingyun.

"Apologies, I really am a human; I just happened to be a member of the Dragon Race for a period of time." Lingyun's slender dragon body traced profound trajectories in mid-air, and countless attacks emerged from the Void, pouring down toward the Dragon God like a rainstorm.

"You were a member of the Dragon Race for a time, yet I have never seen you!" The Dragon God's tone held a hint of doubt. "I have seen every member of the Dragon Race who has mastered profound Dragon Dances, but I can be certain that you are not among them!"

"Is that so? Then this mystery will have to be unraveled by you, Miss Dragon God!" Watching his attacks being intercepted by the Dragon God with ease, a faint glimmer flashed in Lingyun's eyes.

"Then I shall capture you and question you thoroughly! Power of Heaven and Earth, heed my command!" The Dragon God's body twisted violently, and she actually used her own power to forcibly drive the World Power of the Small World. For a moment, Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind appeared simultaneously around the Dragon God, suppressing toward Lingyun's direction.

"As expected of the Dragon God, as expected of the incarnation of the World Consciousness! Within the world I created, you are actually able to forcefully command the World Power with your own strength." Lingyun's figure flashed, and he instantly blinked tens of thousands of feet away.

At the same time, a dazzling light emerged from Lingyun's body, adding a touch of radiance to this Small World.

"Disrupt, Strings of the World!"

"Hum—" An invisible ripple swept across the entire world, and the forces of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind around the Dragon God dissipated simultaneously.

"This, what is this?" Uncontrollable astonishment appeared in the Dragon God's pupils; the moment the ripple swept across the world, the laws of the entire world had undergone a bizarre change.

A ball of flame appeared in front of the Dragon God, then turned into a lump of earth, then into flowing water, then into a whirlwind, then into Thunder, and finally dissolved into nothingness. Yet, the Dragon God had clearly only conjured flame.

"Interesting, the entire world's laws have changed. Human, I am truly becoming more and more curious about you!" The interest in the Dragon God's eyes grew stronger. "However, I don't have time to waste here with you; I still have to go stop that Sage of Youkai from acting recklessly!"

The Dragon God's body arched in the Void, turning into a streak of light as she charged straight toward Lingyun.

"Void Banishment, Spatial Turbulence, Spatial Trap!" Supported by the World Power, Lingyun released three powerful spatial spells in succession directly at the Dragon God.

The Dragon God's figure was instantly swallowed by the quietly appearing spatial rift and banished into the void space. However, this kind of banishment caused absolutely no harm to the Dragon God. As soon as the spatial rift disappeared, a massive spatial tunnel opened directly before Lingyun's eyes, and the Dragon God charged straight out from the spatial tunnel.

Before the Dragon God, who had rushed out of the spatial tunnel, could launch an attack on Lingyun, the Spatial Turbulence swept her back in. This time, before the Dragon God could manage to tear apart the Spatial Turbulence on her body, streaks of Kongjian Lijian appeared around her. Under the reinforcement of the Spatial Turbulence, every streak of Kongjian Lijian unleashed terrifying power; the blades struck the Dragon God's body, exploding with large sparks, and one could even faintly see fragments of Dragon Scale flying off.

"Human!" The Dragon God roared, her body suddenly spiraling, and the space around her body instantly collapsed. Both the Spatial Turbulence and the Kongjian Lijian were sucked into the collapsing space in that instant.

"Great Spatial Seal!" Lingyun's expression remained unchanged as he listened to the Dragon God's roar, and he cast another powerful spatial spell.

The space around the Dragon God instantly solidified, and the Dragon God's body was fixed in place along with it. At the same time, streaks of runes spread onto the Dragon God's body.

"Interesting, interesting. I have never seen these runes before!" Seeing the runes on her body, the Dragon God couldn't help but show a hint of appraisal in her gaze toward Lingyun. "However, it is unrealistic to think you can trap me with just this kind of thing!"

The Dragon God's body trembled slightly, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the runes spreading across her. Lingyun remained calm; countless runes swirled within his silver pupils, and more runes climbed onto the Dragon God's body.

The two sides remained deadlocked in the Void like this; Lingyun continuously added spatial runes to the Dragon God, and these spatial runes would begin to shatter continuously after appearing on her body.

Feeling the power within his body draining crazily, Lingyun knew he probably couldn't hold on for much longer, but he had already laid out a backup plan beforehand, which should be able to stall until the establishment of Gensokyo was complete.

Suddenly, the Dragon God's body stalled, as if she had realized something. At the same time, vast power erupted directly from her body. The runes binding her shattered inch by inch in an instant, turning into specks of light and disappearing into the Void.

The moment the Dragon God broke free from the spatial seal, Lingyun's body trembled, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Countless cracks appeared in the pure white space; Lingyun had originally intended to use the world as a cage to temporarily trap the Dragon God. Now that the Dragon God had broken free from the cage and shattered it in such a brutal manner, this world had also suffered heavy damage.

Looking at Lingyun with blood at the corner of his mouth, a dangerous light flickered in the Dragon God's eyes: "Ha, I understand now. No wonder I have never seen you before, no wonder I have never seen the spatial runes you used to seal me. Human, you are not a person of this world, you are a visitor from another world, aren't you!"

"So you discovered it, Dragon God!" Lingyun's tone was very calm.

At the very beginning of this battle, he had already prepared himself for the Dragon God to discover his identity. He had not expected the Dragon God to react so quickly, discerning that he did not belong to this world from the spatial runes.

"I was wondering how that Sage of Youkai, Yakumo Yukari, could have thought of wanting to sever the world to construct Gensokyo; so it was you, this fellow, who came up with the idea behind the scenes. As a visitor from another world, to actually cause such a huge commotion in my world without first reporting to me, the Dragon God—human, you really are quite bold!" Vast power surged on the Dragon God's body, causing the space of this world to begin to collapse.

"At this point, am I still a visitor?" Lingyun looked at the Dragon God with a half-smile.

"Shut up! Even if you possess an aura that makes me feel friendly, I am still going to teach you a good lesson!" The Dragon God roared, her figure appearing in front of Lingyun as if by teleportation, and her massive dragon tail swept straight toward Lingyun's body.
