Chapter 2578 The Third Step in Slaying the Yamata no Orochi: When the Wall Falls, Everyone Pushes It Down!

The miasma and toxic gas at the foot of the mountain were not dense and were easily passed. However, as the altitude increased, the concentration rose sharply. In some parts of the mountain, there were also pitted swamps of miasma and toxic gas.

Not only that, as they climbed, a strange force of rules gradually grew stronger.

"After traveling for so long, we haven't seen a single ferocious beast or even a wild animal... The life force of Mount Fuji has been plundered by the Yamata no Orochi."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that the Yamata no Orochi posed a far greater threat to Japan than they had imagined. It was important to know that Mount Fuji was to Japan what Mount Tai was to China.

The life force of Mount Fuji has been ruthlessly plundered, leaving it in its current desolate state. It's no wonder that Japan's national fortune can't improve... If it weren't for the power of incense offerings, Lin Mu suspects that the Yamata no Orochi might have devoured all life in Japan.

The higher they went, the stronger the mysterious power of the rules became. As a critical point approached, everyone's breathing became somewhat rapid.

"The Primal Spirit is unusable!" Dian Wei was the first to notice the anomaly.

Among the generals present, almost all possessed a primordial spirit, which they all sensed after being imprisoned.

“This shouldn’t be a scheme orchestrated by the Yamata no Orochi, but rather the natural power of Mount Fuji,” Guo Jia said solemnly.

“This mountain is indeed something special. I wonder if it is a blessed land?” Xun You nodded and said.

A blessed land?! What a treasure! Upon hearing this, both Lin Mu and Ji Beiqin showed a hint of longing on their faces.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through the miasma with incredible speed. Dian Wei's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Watch out!"

"Bang!!!" The halberd flashed with a cold light, directly smashing the extremely fast attacker to pieces. Lin Mu and the others couldn't even see his face clearly.

Everyone immediately became alert and gripped their weapons tightly.

"Whoosh!~~~" Another dark shadow appeared. When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was a green snake with a ghostly green light emanating from its body. Its eyes seemed to be burning with green flames, and its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light.

To everyone's astonishment, this green snake actually had wings!
This winged green snake, whether corrupted by the evil aura of the Yamata no Orochi or a descendant or derivative of the Yamata no Orochi, was extremely ferocious.

It pounced directly at Lin Mu, its wings flapping and creating a powerful gust of air that dispersed much of the surrounding miasma.

Instead of attacking Dian Wei, who was at the front, they bypassed the crowd and attacked Lin Mu. Clearly, their target was Lin Mu.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!~~~" After that, flying snakes kept surging in from all directions, all targeting Lin Mu.

However, those flying snakes were at most at the Xuan level, and they couldn't break through Dian Wei and Huang Zhong's first line of defense at all.

"Dragon's Luck! Incomparably profound Dragon's Luck!! Lin Mu, you are my hope for transforming into an ancestral being!" On the mountaintop, out of sight of Lin Mu and the others, at the edge of an active volcano, an enormous figure lay on the crater of the active volcano, looking down at the mountain below, roaring with ecstatic joy.

After Lin Mu arrived at its training ground, it had already begun to reveal its true power. Its towering, mountain-like figure was shrouded in volcanic heat, and the two eyes on its head were as red and scorching as lava, exuding a captivating greed and fanaticism.

"Roar!~~~" At this moment, from the depths of the active volcano, an extremely hot wave surged up, accompanied by an unwilling roar.

"Hmph! Be obedient and be devoured by me... As long as I use the power of sacrifice to offer you up to the heavens, and obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao and a true rank, I will return to my peak."

"I will be the true guardian beast of the Eastern Kingdom, and those guys will be no match for this god!"

"After that, by devouring Lin Mu, I will break through my realm and forge the foundation of the Profound Spirit Dao! An invincible Origin Realm!!!"

"Hahaha~~ Invincible, invincible~~~~" Yamata no Orochi roared with ecstasy, as if he could see an endless and brilliant future.

It even seemed as if it saw itself returning to that place it once was, a triumphant homecoming... and then claiming it as its own, roaming freely in the world...

However, these are all just its fantasies...

After this brief battle, everyone understood even more clearly that the road ahead would be even more difficult. They continued climbing, but the power of the rules grew increasingly thick, as if forming an invisible barrier that hindered their progress.

"The Divine Realm is unusable!!!" Zhao Yun was the first to speak up.

Ji Beiqin didn't think much of it, but Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, and the others looked at Zhao Yun in white clothes and armor with surprise.

Clearly, in the realm of gods, Zhao Yun's divine realm is among the most elite.

First it was Dian Wei, then Zhao Yun.

After climbing for a while longer, Taishi Ci was the first to speak: "The power of the troops has been suppressed!"

Damn it, why does this mountain climbing event seem to showcase only the most elite strength rankings?
Taishi Ci's troop type is the most outstanding among everyone.
Even Lin Mu, Guo Jia, and the others were slightly taken aback by this.

It should be noted that Taishi Ci's current troop type is the Ziyang Yuzhuo Flying Cavalry, which is still in the initial stage of development and cannot be compared with Yu Jin's Qingyang Tiger Cavalry, which was built with heavy investment.

But now, the first one to be restricted is Taishi Ci. Could the Ziyang Phoenix Flying Cavalry have the greatest potential?!
"Could it be the same potential as the Flying Bear Divine Army?!" Xu Rong and Zhang Ji exchanged a solemn glance, thinking to themselves in unison.

They seemed to vaguely remember Taishi Ci; he was probably a prefect... He should be a disciple of Lin Mu's lineage.

"Keep moving forward." Even though Lin Mu knew that the power of the soldiers, the power of the divine domain, and the power of the primordial energy were all imprisoned, he felt no fear whatsoever, and so did the others.

After climbing for a while, the group arrived at a mountainside.

To everyone's surprise, there was no more miasma or poisonous gas ahead; instead, a rich aura of wood spirit permeated the air.

The group quickly crossed the boundary between the two and entered the lush primeval forest.

"Could it be that we've traversed one-eighth of the Fuji Tenzan area?!" Lin Mu said thoughtfully.

Good heavens, Orochi has turned Mount Fuji into a dojo that suits his own attributes.

"There's a sacrificial site on the front side; it's probably caused by the sacrificial crystal. The eight areas are distributed across Mount Fuji..."

"Besides the abundant wood elemental energy, there's not a trace of other living energy..." Dian Wei said in a deep voice after advancing for a while.

The others, having traveled for so long, had already sensed the mountain's eeriness and malevolence. To devour all living beings from a towering mountain—how immense must the karmic burden of cause and effect it bore be!

However, the Yamata no Orochi doesn't seem to be in any major problems. Although it was injured by Lin Mu and his group and had its divine crystals stolen, it remains a pillar of Japan.

"Crack crack crack!!!" Just then, a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds rang out in the ancient forest.

Immediately afterwards, strange vines shot out rapidly from the trees, all attacking... Lin Mu!
That's right, their target is Lin Mu again, and only Lin Mu!
"Crack!!!" At this moment, a cracking sound came from under Lin Mu's feet. The next moment, a green vine hand suddenly appeared, directly enveloping Lin Mu and instantly wrapping him up like a rice dumpling.

"Bang!" Before Dian Wei and the others could come to their rescue, Lin Mu suddenly shuddered, and the vines instantly turned into dust and disappeared.

"Too weak, equivalent to a Xuan-rank Martial General."

"It seems that Orochi's dojo has potential for growth, but not much," Lin Mu guessed.

After that, the group continued to move forward, constantly dealing with vines and even attacks from some wooden golems.

Compared to the terrifying strength of Lin Mu and his group, the dojo's attacks seemed utterly ineffective, barely even amounting to any damage. The group continued their ascent.

As Lin Mu and his companions climbed, a message was spreading rapidly like a virus among the various countries in the Eastern Japan region.

Hundreds of years ago, the Yamata no Orochi invaded Mount Fuji, imprisoned the primordial spirit of the mountain, the Fire Spirit God, seized the sacred sites, and monopolized the offerings of the world, becoming a false national guardian beast of Japan.

After becoming a divine beast, Yamata no Orochi began to devour the creatures of Japan, while sowing discord among various countries, forging countless bloody battles, creating unparalleled carnage, and depleting the national strength of Japan!
The Yamata no Orochi was supposed to be defeated by the gods of Japan, but the invasion of China led the evil tiger Lin Mu to seize the opportunity to kill the Yamata no Orochi and gain merit from heaven and earth.

On Mount Fuji, a battle is currently raging between two ferocious tigers. Both are enemies of Japan!

If Japan is to restore its former glory and prosperity, Lin Mu and the Yamata no Orochi must be killed!
To destroy the Yamata no Orochi, first destroy all the temples and statues dedicated to it, thus extinguishing its incense offerings!

Desiring to destroy the Yamata no Orochi, and no longer believing in the Yamata no Orochi!
……

……

Similar messages began to circulate throughout the entire Japanese island.

"Lord Lin Mu, your mission is basically complete. We contacted many lord players in the Eastern Japan region, as well as some feudal lords who spread the word. Goodness, we thought they would refuse, but as you said, they didn't put in much effort at first, but later, for some reason, they all started to exert their strength, and various countries began to suppress the followers of Orochi."

"Speechless. Aren't those kings all followers of the Yamata no Orochi? How come they suddenly turned against us... Lord Lin Mu, how did you do that?" Jiang Chenglong's message reached Lin Mu immediately.

That's right, it was Lin Mu who spread this information.

Upon hearing this news, the feudal lords of Japan began to search through historical records and unofficial histories, trying to find evidence to support their claims.

Soon, they actually found some records about Mount Fuji.

Legend has it that atop Mount Fuji, there dwells a god of fire who spread the path of faith, and it is said that the flame of faith in the Japanese islands originated from there.

What is the truth about Yamata no Orochi?

However, before the various clans could uncover the truth, a sentiment against the Yamata no Orochi began to prevail...

"Fengxiao, your scheme based on human nature has succeeded!" Lin Mu said with a smile to Guo Jia beside him after reading the message.
