Chapter 864: Sealing Tsukuyomi
Seeing Lingyun's expression, a sense of ominous foreboding rose in Tsukuyomi's heart.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Hey, Dragon God, as long as Tsukuyomi doesn't die, that's fine, right?" Lingyun asked.
"That's correct." The Dragon God looked toward Tsukuyomi on the other side, her tone carrying a hint of malice.
If it weren't for this Moon God secretly linking her own life to the Moon, the Dragon God, who was currently sleeping in her own bed, would never have wanted to get up to deal with this matter! In fact, because she had been woken up, the Dragon God was harboring a belly full of morning grumpiness. However, the Dragon God prided herself on having a high degree of magnanimity and self-cultivation, so she would not vent her little temper on this person who gave her a strange sense of favor.
Thinking of this, the Dragon God couldn't help but glare at Tsukuyomi on the side. Tsukuyomi was clearly a deity who should have vanished during the Twilight of the Gods long ago, but she had run to the Moon to establish the Moon Capital before the Twilight of the Gods had fully erupted. Considering that she hadn't caused too much trouble for her, the Dragon God had turned a blind eye and tacitly allowed the establishment of the Moon Capital. She never expected that Tsukuyomi would take advantage of the time she was sleeping to quietly create such a huge problem for her. What was more, because of the Moon, she couldn't take action against her right now, which truly made her quite annoyed.
Tsukuyomi, having been glared at by the Dragon God, instantly felt a terrifying power suppressing her body, as if the entire world were pressing down on her shoulders.
"Guh—"
A mournful cry squeezed out from between Tsukuyomi's lips. Tsukuyomi knelt halfway on the ground, a trace of bewilderment still in her eyes; she was clearly unaware of why she was being targeted by the Dragon God.
"Dragon God, if I seal Tsukuyomi away, it won't have any impact on the Moon, right?" Lingyun asked.
"Seal?" The Dragon God's eyes couldn't help but brighten.
In fact, after learning that Tsukuyomi was linked to the Moon, the Dragon God had started to feel depressed. In order to maintain the operation of this world, the Moon absolutely could not suffer any mishaps. In other words, if anyone wanted to make a move against Tsukuyomi, she would have to come out to stop them. In this state, hadn't she become Tsukuyomi's bodyguard? Under these circumstances, with such a ticking time bomb by her side, how could she sleep peacefully? If she could seal Tsukuyomi away and make her stay obediently in one place without causing trouble, wouldn't she be able to sleep peacefully?
Hearing Lingyun's words, Tsukuyomi's pupils constricted. If she were sealed, what meaning would there be in living? Now, the only method was to use her own life and the survival of the Moon as a gamble to force the Dragon God to resolve this crisis for her. Although her outcome afterward would definitely not be good, it was still better than being sealed.
Just as Tsukuyomi was channeling her Divine Power, intending to make a desperate struggle, she suddenly felt her body stall, and the circulation of Divine Power within her body became extremely difficult.
"This is?" Tsukuyomi looked at the Small Sword that had appeared on her body at some unknown time, her tone full of astonishment.
"This thing is called a God-Slaying Thorn; you should have seen it before." Lingyun withdrew his hand.
"God-Slaying Thorn, that thing on Kaguya..." Tsukuyomi instantly felt her divine soul suffer a heavy blow, and the world before her eyes began to grow increasingly dark.
"Dragon God, you can mobilize the power of the Moon, right?" Lingyun asked.
"I can. But why are you asking this?" The Dragon God blinked her eyes and asked.
"Then, you mobilize the power of the Moon, and I will set up the Seal Array." A mysterious light flickered in Lingyun's eyes.
"Fine." The Dragon God nodded, her tone without a hint of hesitation. The thing she most wanted to do now was to settle the matter here in the shortest amount of time, and then immediately go back to take a nap.
"Then I'm starting." Lingyun formed seals with his hands, and countless Array Patterns spread out from his body as the center, quickly enveloping Tsukuyomi within them.
After her body was clung to by the Array Patterns, Tsukuyomi realized that things were looking bad. If this continued, she was afraid she would spend her future forever in a seal. However, Lingyun's Silver Emperor Killing Sword had already caused a heavy blow to her divine soul. Even though she wanted to mobilize the Divine Power within her body, she was powerless to do so and simply could not channel it, which made her feel extremely distressed.
As more and more Array Patterns appeared on her body, Tsukuyomi felt her body becoming increasingly sluggish and her vision growing darker. Finally, when the last Array Pattern spread onto Tsukuyomi's body, a white light flowed over her, transforming her into a jade statue.
"Dragon God, do it!" The Seal Array was set up, and Lingyun immediately called out.
No sooner had Lingyun finished speaking than the power of the Moon was fully mobilized by the Dragon God; even the four layers of Moonlight Power controlled by Lingyun returned to the Dragon God's hands.
As the power of the Moon surged into the jade statue, the Seal Array was completely finished, and Tsukuyomi fell into an eternal sleep.
"Is there no problem now?" The Dragon God asked.
"Rest assured, as long as the Moon is not destroyed, Tsukuyomi will not wake up. Under these circumstances, she naturally cannot use her own life as a threat to force you to protect her." Lingyun was still quite confident in his sealing ability.
"Is that so? That couldn't be better. However, the battle here should also end. Back when Tsukuyomi established the Moon Capital, she made a Contract with me: the Moon Capital belongs to the Lunar People." As the Dragon God said this, the eyes in the sky also began to fade into the Void.
Before long, the eyes of the Dragon God, which had brought immense pressure to everyone present, disappeared into the Void. Inside her little nest, the Dragon God closed her eyes with satisfaction, and before long, soft snoring sounds could be heard.
"The Moon Capital belongs to the Lunar People, huh?" The aura on Lingyun's body began to recede, and his gaze looked toward the battlefield of the Moon Capital.
The battle between the Youkai and the Moon Capital had already stopped when the Dragon God arrived. Before the Dragon God's arrival, the battle had actually been at a white-hot stage. However, there was a very awkward situation in this: although the Youkai's offensive was very fierce, the Moon Capital, relying on its geographical advantage and high technology, had forcibly resisted the Youkai's attacks. If the battle were to continue, even if the Youkai could win in the end, it would inevitably be a pyrrhic victory. This kind of victory was definitely something Yakumo Yukari was unwilling to see. Yakumo Yukari's goal was to use this Lunar War to weed out some of the troublemakers among the Youkai, rather than having the Youkai race fall into a crisis of extinction through a pyrrhic victory.
Thinking of this, Lingyun exchanged a glance with Yakumo Yukari in the distance; perhaps it was time for this battle to come to an end.
