"Breathing of the Moon - Second Form - Pearl Moon Dance!"

After spinning around once, Ryoujiro Yu unleashed two sword energies at the top of her head. The sword energies were accompanied by many crescent-shaped blades of energy, and in just one exchange, they blasted the rock formation into pieces.

"Go with the wind!"

Before Suzumiya Yu could take any further action after clearing away the rock formations, Ying unleashed a tornado directly at her.

He then unleashed his sword skills once again without hesitation.

"Breath of the Moon - Land Form - Long Night Lonely Moon - Abyss!"

With her blade aimed at the oncoming tornado, Suzumiya Yu unleashed a rapid series of crisscrossing slashes, sending out wave after wave of sword energy accompanied by numerous crescent-shaped blades of air.

As the tornado and the sword wave collided, two terrifying energies spread out again. Ying's expression turned solemn, but suddenly, a sword aura tore through the air and slashed towards her at high speed.

Startled, she quickly turned to the side to dodge, but a cut was still made on her side, from which a lot of blood flowed.

Using so many moves in a row must have been quite taxing for Ying, but even so, she still fell into a disadvantageous position in the exchange. On the other hand, Ryoujiro Yu, who also used moves in a row, did not feel tired at all.

The outcome of the battlefield duel was already quite clear. Ying was merely making a last-ditch effort, but she didn't want to lose, because if she fell into Liang Gongyou's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Paimon, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, was also very nervous. She was Ying's companion, and if Ying lost to Suzumiya Yu, she would also be implicated.

Even though she wasn't good at fighting, she could tell that Ying had no chance of defeating Suzumiya Yu, so she had to find a way to escape.

But when she looked around, she couldn't find a second exit. And Shadow wasn't doing nothing; she was keeping an eye on Paimon's movements.

......

Suzumiya Yu and Hotaru clashed several times, but Suzumiya Yu always gained the upper hand because he was not afraid of getting hurt. Hotaru, on the other hand, had to be constantly aware of her opponent's attacks because if she got hurt, her fighting ability would be greatly reduced.

She had already used all three elemental combat techniques and all three elemental bursts, but still couldn't see any chance of winning.

Even if he were to manage to injure Suzumiya Yu by sheer luck, his injuries would miraculously heal instantly, and even if his head were cut off, it would immediately grow back.

This is what makes Ying feel most powerless, because Suzumiya Yu has no weaknesses. He doesn't need to worry about his severed limbs or physical exhaustion. With these two characteristics, he is almost invincible in battle.

"Breathing of the Moon - Eighth Form - Moon Dragon Tail!"

The breathing technique was activated again, and Suzumiya Yu swung the blade in her hand upwards in a slash that seemed ordinary, but the next second, a huge wave of sword energy appeared in the air, sweeping away everything in front of her.

Every sword technique of Moon Breathing is accompanied by a crescent-shaped energy blade. This eighth form is not only incredibly fast, but even the crescent-shaped energy blades on the sword waves are enormous.

Exhausted, Ying was unable to cope with such a powerful attack. She raised her weapon to block, desperately mobilizing all the strength in her body.

Even so, she was still blasted away by the powerful energy, crashing heavily against the surrounding walls before finally coming to a stop.

The duel ended, and Yui Suzumiya emerged victorious, which was not surprising but rather felt expected.

"Luminous!" Upon seeing that Luminous was injured, Paimon quickly flew to her side to check on her.

Although she didn't pass out directly, Ying was in such a state that she couldn't continue fighting; just staying conscious required her to exert all her strength.

"You... go quickly..." Ying managed to utter three words and urged Paimon to escape, because she could fly and could leave through any open window.

“We’ve been together all this way, how could we possibly abandon you so easily?” Paimon had no intention of leaving alone. No matter how cowardly she was, she would not be a coward who abandoned her companions and ran away.

But... with her power, what can she possibly change?

As Ying's expression changed drastically, Paimon turned around and found that Suzumiya Yu had appeared behind him at some point, raising the blade in her hand high.

The next second, the blade slashed straight at her. Paimon only saw a flash of white light before her eyes, and then she had no memory of it.

However, in reality, she was not killed by Suzumiya Yuu's sword.

Just as Suzumiya Yu's blade was about to touch her, it suddenly stopped. It wasn't because he stopped attacking, but because there was an inexplicable resistance preventing his blade from continuing forward.

"What's going on?" A sense of doubt arose in her heart, and Ryou turned her head to look at Paimon, only to find that something was wrong with her.

Paimon's body emitted a strange, dark red glow, which grew stronger and stronger until it covered her entire body.

The next second, a blinding light burst forth, causing Ryou and the others to involuntarily close their eyes.

Chapter 149 So Paimon is the Heavenly Principle?

Billions of rays of light instantly enveloped the entire hall, and even the Ottomans standing outside the door caught a glimpse of it, but they did not push the door open to investigate.

Because the Shadows had given instructions that no matter what happened inside, they should not worry about it and should just continue doing their jobs.

Inside the castle tower, when the blinding light dissipated, Suzumiya Yu slowly opened her eyes, only to find that Paimon had vanished from her sight.

Ying was still lying on the ground, looking somewhat bewildered. Paimon's body had suddenly undergone a strange change and disappeared completely; this was the first time such a thing had happened.

Suddenly, Ryou's heart skipped a beat. Realizing something, he slowly raised his head and discovered that an unfamiliar figure had appeared in the air at some point.

It was a woman dressed in strange clothing of unknown origin, with long white hair flowing behind her. Her eyes were orange, and her expression was indifferent. She was staring intently at Suzumiya Yui without moving.

A tingling sensation instantly swept over Ryou's entire body; at that moment, he couldn't even believe his eyes.

"Outsiders, your journey ends here."

The phrase flashed through her mind, and the next second, Suzumiya Yuu's body quickly retreated while gripping the blade in her hand tightly.

That is the master of Sky Island, Tenri.

Although many people had previously predicted that Paimon might be the embodiment of Tenryuu, lurking beside the protagonist for some reason, there was no evidence for this speculation at the time, so players only used it as a joke.

Unexpectedly, Paimon was actually Tenri, and appeared before Suzumiya Yui because of the crisis of death.

That's a deity from Sky Isles! Even the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm are merely Teyvat administrators appointed by her. Who knows just how powerful she is? She could defeat the Twins at their peak with just a flick of her wrist.

Her most glorious achievement was the destruction of Kanria five hundred years ago. Kanria, which even the Seven Gods found troublesome, was wiped out by her in a single night, along with the lives of the Grass God and the Thunder God.

Her strength is definitely far superior to that of the Seven Gods, while the current strength of Suzumiya Yu is at most at the level of a Demon God. Even if she wants to defeat the Seven Gods, she would have to plan carefully to have any chance of success.

Not only Suzumiya Yu, but also Ying and Ying showed shock on their faces the moment Tenri appeared.

The former had been searching for her because she was the one who caused him and his brother to become separated.

The latter was because he feared her power. After all, he was present during the war that destroyed Kanria five hundred years ago, and he watched his sister die but was powerless to do anything about it. The reason for this was the terrifying power of Tenri.

She cannot make a move, because if she were to clash with Tenri, the entire Inazuma would be implicated. Even Kanriya was wiped out overnight. Given Inazuma's overall strength, how could they possibly withstand her power?

"Damn it, this dungeon's difficulty has suddenly gone from normal to hell." Ryou's lips twitched slightly. Although he was well aware of the difference in strength between himself and his opponent, he was not about to surrender easily.

Moreover, the appearance of Tianli did not make him feel much pressure; it was only a psychological effect that made him feel nervous.

Therefore, he wondered if there was a possibility that he could overcome the laws of nature.

However, while he was still hesitating, Tianli launched an attack first.

As she pointed her finger at the air in front of her, countless black and red cubes, arranged in strips, began to attack Suzumiya Yu.

Suzumiya Yu reacted quickly, gripping the blade tightly and taking a deep breath.

"Breath of the Sun, Twelfth Form: Flame Dance!"

Switching her breathing technique from Moon Breathing to Sun Breathing, Suzumiya Yu unleashed two fiery slashes that directly severed the strip-shaped black and red cubes.

At that moment, Suzumiya Yu realized with surprise that she actually had a chance of winning.

However, this did not make him careless. After all, the opponent was the strongest being in this world. It would be absolutely impossible for him to have only this much power.

So, Suzumiya Yu opened the system shop, looked at her remaining 20,000 points, and reluctantly spent 6,000 of them to exchange for the Mark and the Crimson Blade.

Rippling lines slowly appeared on her forehead. At this moment, Ryou's body temperature reached an astonishing thirty-nine degrees Celsius, and her heart rate exceeded two hundred beats per minute.

As her body's workload increased to its limit, so did Suzumiya Yu's various attributes.

Whether it's strength, speed, control over swordsmanship, or perception, all of these have improved by a whole level after the markings were activated.

Although this improvement is not as dramatic as the level-up in the combat system, it is still a significant boost for Yui Suzumiya.

At the same time, the blade in Yui Suzumiya's hand turned fiery red, like the sun. This was the Crimson Blade, which in Demon Slayer could increase its destructive power against demons' bodies.

Compared to the Mark and the Transparent World, the Crimson Blade offers a smaller improvement because it only works on Oni. If the target is not an Oni, it only slightly increases the sharpness of the blade.

Suzumiya Yu thought so too, but he soon discovered that the reality was different from what he had imagined.

After the blade in his hand transformed into a crimson blade, a strange red energy appeared on its surface. Ryouji Yu didn't know what the use of this energy was, but he was certain that it was an enhancement brought about by the crimson blade.

"Breath of the Sun, Land Form, Scorching Sun Flame!"

Without time to think about the issue carefully, Ryoujiro chose to launch a preemptive attack on Tenri.

She leaped high into the air, her blade flashing in front of her as she unleashed a spinning fiery slash. Notably, after Suzumiya Yu's weapon transformed into the Crimson Blade, the flames produced by this Sun Breathing technique seemed to have become even darker in color.

Facing Suzumiya Yu's attack, Tenri waved her hand without changing her expression, and countless black and red cubes tightly enveloped her body, forming an incredibly sturdy shield.

Suzumiya Yu's blade struck the shield. He thought his attack would be neutralized, but to his surprise, the seemingly sturdy shield shattered instantly the next second.

Black and red cubes fell in all directions, revealing Tenri's figure. She looked at Ryougu with disbelief, as if she couldn't understand how the other party had broken through her defenses.

Suzumiya Yuya was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly seized the opportunity.

"Breath of the Sun - Fourth Form - Phantom Sun Rainbow!"

The blade moved forward, unleashing a deep red arc-shaped slash. By the time Tenri reacted and tried to dodge, it was too late.

Chapter 150 The Natural Law of Weakening Divinity

Then, a surprising scene unfolded: the invincible Tenri was actually wounded by Ryou's attack.

Not only that, her entire body fell to the ground due to the attack, but she was still able to stand up with difficulty.

Suzumiya Yui found this utterly unbelievable, as did Hotaru and Kage.

However, if we're being honest, Ying was probably more shocked, because she had personally witnessed Tenri's strength, which was on a completely different level from what she was experiencing now.

The current state of Heaven's justice is such that even she, let alone Ryouko, could easily defeat it.

On the other side, Suzumiya Yu's body descended from the sky, landing safely before looking at Tenri not far in front of her.

Tenri looked at her trembling hands, then turned to look at Ying lying on the ground.

Ying was also watching her, and their eyes held different emotions.

Ying was incredulous. She never imagined that her companion, who had been with her all along, was the culprit who had caused her to be separated from her brother, and she had been completely unaware of it all along.

Tenri's guilt was mixed with a hint of regret, which was even more surprising, because she actually showed human emotions.

Seeing this scene, Suzumiya Yu suddenly remembered a passage.

The Sustainer is dying, the Creator has not yet arrived. But the world will not burn again, for you will ascend the throne of God.
