Chapter 861: Tsukuyomi

As Lingyun charged into the Moon Capital, he was intercepted; an enraged Lunar Sage soared into the air, blocking Lingyun's path directly.

"Sorry, move aside, I have urgent business with Tsukuyomi."

Facing the Lunar Sage blocking his way, Lingyun's expression remained unchanged as he clenched his right fist. His figure surged toward the Lunar Sage like lightning, slamming a punch directly into their abdomen. The Lunar Sage struck by Lingyun flew backward like a shooting star, crashing heavily into the ground and creating a large crater.

Seeing this, the other Lunar Sages faltered. The Lunar Sage sent flying by Lingyun's punch was no weakling among their ranks, yet they hadn't even lasted a single exchange before being knocked away, causing hesitation to stir in the hearts of the other Lunar Sages.

"As expected, the Lunar Sages of today are completely incomparable to those of the past." Yakumo Yukari's figure appeared beside Lingyun.

"Who are you?" Seeing the beautiful woman appear on the scene, the other Lunar Sages were taken aback.

"Lingyun has more important things to do right now, so you all shouldn't linger here. I have already prepared opponents for you; please join us in this carnival of Youkai!" Yakumo Yukari waved her fan with a beaming smile. Before the other Lunar Sages could react, gaps suddenly appeared beside them, swallowing them whole.

"Yakumo Yukari..." The Void twisted, and the figure of Yagokoro Eirin suddenly appeared before the two.

Looking at Yakumo Yukari, a trace of complexity appeared in Yagokoro Eirin's eyes. Although it had only been a short time since they last met, she discovered that Yakumo Yukari's strength had undergone an abnormal increase. This made her wonder, were Gap Youkai truly this powerful?

"Lingyun, leave this to me. I happen to want to see just how strong the legendary Brain of the Moon really is." Yakumo Yukari looked at Yagokoro Eirin, fighting spirit rising in her eyes.

"Alright." Lingyun watched the two confronting each other on the field, his figure turning into a streak of light and vanishing once more.

After Lingyun disappeared, the atmosphere on the field rapidly turned hostile. Yagokoro Eirin produced a longbow, drew the string, and massive spiritual power condensed into a sharp arrow. Yakumo Yukari did not move, but several gaps opened around her. The roaring sound of spiritual power and Demon Power colliding echoed across the entire battlefield, signaling the start of the battle between the Lunar Sages and the Sage of Youkai.

On the walls of the Moon Capital, two figures suddenly appeared. Watatsuki no Toyohime and Watatsuki no Yorihime looked at the battle below, a trace of anxiety appearing in their eyes.

"Sister, you take charge of command, I will deal with these fellows!" Watatsuki no Yorihime drew the Samurai Sword at her waist and spoke.

"Alright!" Knowing her sister's combat prowess, Watatsuki no Toyohime nodded and began to command the Tsukito Butai, who were like scattered sand.

Watatsuki no Yorihime leaped off the wall, a powerful flame erupting from her body. With a single sweep of her blade, she blasted away all the Youkai rushing toward the breach. A Great Youkai who failed to dodge let out a roar as its claw was actually severed by Watatsuki no Yorihime's blade.

Just as Watatsuki no Yorihime wanted to follow up with another strike on this Youkai, a delicate fist suddenly appeared before her. The alarm bells in Watatsuki no Yorihime's heart rang out, and she subconsciously blocked forward with her Samurai Sword. The fist and the Samurai Sword collided, emitting a violent boom. Watatsuki no Yorihime instantly felt a terrifying force transmitted from her sword, the immense power nearly causing her to lose her grip.

"Who are you?" Watatsuki no Yorihime looked at the girl in front of her wearing a red and dark red checkered vest, her tone heavy.

"My name is Kazami Yuuka. You must be that Moon Princess Lingyun mentioned. Let me see just how much skill you, this Moon Princess, actually have."

A wild smile appeared on Kazami Yuuka's face, scarlet light flickering in her pupils. Terrifying magic power erupted from her body, directly enveloping Watatsuki no Yorihime.

"Oh no, Yorihime has been held up." Watching Watatsuki no Yorihime being entangled by Kazami Yuuka below, a trace of anxiety appeared on Watatsuki no Toyohime's face.

Their top-tier combat strength here was simply too scarce; if things continued like this, the collapse of the defensive line was only a matter of time.

Just then, several gaps opened in mid-air, and several Lunar Sages were thrown out directly from them. The moment these Lunar Sages appeared, someone immediately targeted them. The appearance of these Lunar Sages also attracted the attention of the Great Youkai present, which could be considered as easing the pressure on the Moon Capital's defensive line.

Inside the Moon Capital, Lingyun flew forward at high speed, approaching the palace at the center of the city.

"Quick, stop him!" Several residents of the Moon Capital shouted loudly, trying to block Lingyun's path.

Lingyun waved his hand casually, and a gale rose from thin air, directly sweeping these people away.

"Tsukuyomi, Lingyun has come to pay a visit. Do you dare to come out and meet me?" Having crushed the obstacles before him, Lingyun's figure appeared before the palace.

Looking at the silent palace, Lingyun raised his hand, and powerful Source Power gathered in his palm, transforming into a golden Spear. Lingyun grabbed the Spear and hurled it, aiming directly at the palace.

"Hum—" A Moonlight Barrier suddenly appeared around the palace. The Spear Lingyun threw slammed into the barrier, instantly causing countless cracks to appear before it shattered.

"Human, you have great audacity to dare invade the Divine Domain!" An angry voice rang out from within the palace. The palace gates opened, and powerful Divine Might surged out along with a figure, pressing heavily toward Lingyun.

Lingyun's body shook slightly, easily shattering the Divine Might suppressing him, then his gaze turned to the woman walking out of the palace.

It was a woman with a face as perfect as the bright moon, her waist-length hair as deep as the true night. The woman wore a long white dress, upon which were layers of Divine Runes and symbols representing the moon.

Upon seeing this woman for the first time, Lingyun's first impression was the moon. It could only be said that Tsukuyomi was worthy of being the Goddess who controlled the moon; merely standing there gave one the feeling that the entire moon was crushing down upon them.

"Human, entering the Divine Domain is the greatest mistake of your life!" Tsukuyomi coldly extended her hand, and vast moonlight surged toward Lingyun.

Enveloped by the moonlight, Lingyun instantly felt a bone-chilling cold rise from within his body, as if it were going to freeze him solid from the inside out. If it were an ordinary Great Youkai before Tsukuyomi, she could kill them in a Second with just this move. It could only be said that on her home turf of the moon, Tsukuyomi's abilities received a massive boost.

"This move alone is far from enough!" Sun Fire rose from Lingyun's body, easily dispelling the chill of the moonlight.

Seeing the Sun Fire on Lingyun, Tsukuyomi's pupils constricted, a trace of anger appearing in her eyes, and the moonlight radiating from her body grew even more frigid: "You shameless thief who stole my sister's authority, you actually dare to display it before me. Have the people of this era lost their reverence for the gods?"

"That is why I say, people who indulge in past glory are the existence I hate the most!" Lingyun looked at the suddenly furious Tsukuyomi and said with some helplessness.

In an instant, the sun and moon shone together above the Lunar Surface, unfolding a violent collision.
