Chapter 2600 Blood Sacrifice to the World and Volcanic Eruption
The nine-headed azure dragon python felt the pressure coming from all directions. It let out angry roars, and yellow mist churned in the sky, forming huge and sharp whip shadows that swept towards the crowd.

"Boom! ~~~~~" A deafening roar echoed continuously from the sky.

Even a nine-headed azure dragon python at the level of a Nine-Yuan Divine General, despite its enormous size, can be dealt with by the fierce generals of the Great Wilderness Territory.

The fear is that the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python might suddenly advance to the rank of Heavenly General and then pull a similar stunt as it did when it ambushed Taishi Ci.

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei have all begun fighting against the heads of the Yamata no Orochi.

The battle intensified, and from the left, another massive black shadow swept towards the sacrificial plaza.

Huang Zhong used his divine blade to deflect the longsword, quickly switching weapons. With a divine bow in hand, he drew the bow and unleashed nine energy arrows that shot towards the massive body like meteors.

"Whoosh!~~~~" With a draw of his bow, Huang Zhong fired nine energy arrows, which blasted into the snake's body like laser cannons.

"Boom!!!" The snake's body, which was originally covered with moss and piled with rocks and soil, was shot into by the light arrow and exploded into nine large holes.

Each large hole spewed out jets of black blood.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!~~~" The air was still filled with a piercing burning sound.

"Aow!!!! Pure Yang Qi!!!!" The nine-headed Azure Dragon Python howled in agony.

"Huh... Could my arrows be effective against it?" After shooting the arrow, Huang Zhong switched weapons in an instant and blocked the longsword that was attacking him.

The tail sword had given up on Lin Mu and turned its attention to Huang Zhong. The reason was simple: as long as Huang Zhong was there, it couldn't attack Lin Mu at all.

Compared to its massive body, the tail sword was much more agile. Huang Zhong kept trying to slash at it, but was constantly thwarted by its strange, shrinking flesh and bones defense.

Beneath the sacrificial plaza, in that mysterious sea of ​​blood, the complete body of the Yamata no Orochi writhed. Its tail stretched towards the sky, piercing through the plaza.

Like the snake's head, the enormous tail started out extremely large, then gradually decreased in size in the middle, and finally reached the tail, which was the snake's tail that Lin Mu and the others saw. Compared to its body, the tail was really small.

"The fight has already started, why haven't those guys made a move yet? Are they waiting for Lin Mu to unleash his power and both of them to be severely injured before they attack?" The Yamata no Orochi roared within the sea of ​​blood.

"They can still come down? I doubt it... They're just fooling me." Another voice of Yamata no Orochi rang out.

"Aren't you afraid that if you make deals with those guys, the same thing will happen again?"

"Hmph... This time the stakes are only half of Lin Mu's Dragon Luck, so what? Lin Mu is still safe and sound..."

"How's the situation on your end? Have you still not defeated that Fire God?"

"It's hiding too well; it still has the strength to resist. Let's wait a bit longer... After it's exhausted itself, it can devour us."

"How about we unleash everything, perform a blood sacrifice to the world, break free of our shackles, ascend to the rank of Heavenly General, and slaughter all our enemies?"

“I have a feeling that something unexpected will happen, whether it’s Lin Mu or that God of Fire… Especially Lin Mu, that guy is so nonchalant, but the way he looks at me always involuntarily reveals a hint of contempt. He might actually have the power to despise me.”

"He's just a mere Heavenly Rank Martial General. Even with further enhancements, he'll only ever be a Heavenly Divine General. What's there to be afraid of!"

"Their splitting their forces to deal with my body was actually part of our plan. If things get urgent, we can break through the limits and re-ascend to the Heavenly General realm, devour those Heavenly Generals from the Divine Continent, and return to our best condition. Then we can deal with Lin Mu or those guys."

"You carry it out..."

"Oh... you've given me all the authority, so you don't object to me performing blood sacrifices for believers?"

"Sigh... They're mostly dead by now... What's wrong with making use of them..."

"Alright, since you've agreed, let's proceed with the blood sacrifice. The Nine Yuan Divine General outside is a pure Yang body, and he's our nemesis."

"Another one with a pure Yang body. That guy named Bai Ye was a pure Yang body back then. If it weren't for him, I would have devoured Xu Fu long ago, obtained the Heavenly and Earthly Position, and could have left the Immortal Mountain at will..."

"There's no time to lose, begin the blood sacrifice immediately!" The Yamata no Orochi's voice was resolute.

As it gave its command, towering waves of blood surged from the mysterious sea of ​​blood, and an evil and powerful aura began to spread.

The next moment, countless runes floated up, and strange blood-red threads shot out from the sea of ​​blood, piercing into the void in mid-air, as if connecting to a very, very distant place...

Outside Edo Castle, in a huge pit, some Japanese soldiers were constantly moving corpses.

Those corpses belonged to extremely loyal followers of the Yamata no Orochi. They were all slaughtered by the lord's army without any warning.

Thick black smoke filled the deep pit, and the surrounding area reeked of blood.

"Buzz!!!" Just then, strange blood lines suddenly appeared, like a crimson net enveloping the entire pit.

This scene terrified the soldiers on the ground, who immediately reported it to their superiors.

Those who once worshipped the Yamata no Orochi were not at peace even in death. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and their congealed blood seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, seeping from their pores and flowing upstream in streams of blood.

"Buzz!~~~" On the sacrificial plaza, Lin Mu and Huang Zhong also noticed the abnormality underground.

A bloody and terrifying aura was surging upwards...

"Could the Yamata no Orochi be hiding many followers beneath its surface? Is it conducting a blood sacrifice?" Lin Mu was filled with doubt. This commotion was similar to the one when the Yamata no Orochi sacrificed 1.5 million Japanese people...

But this time it's even bigger...

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mu opened the attribute panel and quickly found the chat group of Jiang Chenglong and others.

Then he immediately asked, "Gentlemen, have any unusual occurrences occurred in the lands of various countries? Such as blood sacrifices? Large-scale blood battles?"

"Lord Lin Mu, you are truly a prophet! I just discovered that the followers of the Yamata no Orochi who were killed by the Japanese were all shrouded in blood, it seems to be similar to a blood sacrifice... After they died, they were even having their blood drawn, what a horrifying scene... Damn... This time we came to plunder, not only did we not gain anything, but we also witnessed such a bloody scene. You must not have been able to eat for several days..." Zhao Qiyin replied to Lin Mu instantly.

Sure enough!

Orochi had already planned this all along...

"Thank you," Lin Mu replied before closing the communication system.

"The remains of the dead are nothing... Why hasn't the Yamata no Orochi sacrificed itself to ensure the survival of the Japanese nation?" Lin Mu frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

He could have used his destiny to fight Yamata no Orochi long ago, but he kept waiting, waiting for Yamata no Orochi to use the national fortune of Japan, since it was still the official guardian beast of Japan at the moment.

The Great Han Dynasty has just experienced the death of the Red Dragon, losing so much of its national fortune; it must make up for it!
"My lord, do you need me to go down?" Huang Zhong, who was fighting against Wei Jian, transmitted his voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu understood Huang Zhong's meaning and went to disrupt the blood sacrifice.

However, Lin Mu shook his head: "Letting it be sacrificed, bearing heavy karma, is also a good thing for us."

"Crack! Rumble! ~~~~~" Sure enough, just as Lin Mu had said, thunder rumbled in the sky.

However, because the sky was filled with the rich power of incense, the uppermost layer of karmic black thunderclouds could not be seen. But that power still made Lin Mu very wary.

However, for some unknown reason, the thunderous sound lingered for a while and then disappeared...

Lin Mu, who was waiting for the lightning pillar to come down in the sacrificial plaza, was slightly puzzled: "Does this Yamata no Orochi have some means to evade the karmic punishment of heaven and earth?"

To sacrifice one's own followers is an absolute act of defying Heaven, committing an unforgivable sin. For a divine ruler, it is tantamount to suicide.

But it did it anyway... and very decisively.

"Hansheng, be careful. After the blood sacrifice, it may undergo a major change and might suddenly launch a sneak attack..." Lin Mu instructed Huang Zhong.

However, the attack was not launched by the tail sword, but by the snake head atop Mount Fuji.

The Yamata no Orochi's primary target was not Lin Mu, but the God of Fire.

Compared to Lin Mu, whom it feared more deeply, it wanted to devour the God of Fire to strengthen itself before dealing with Lin Mu.

And so... before the Blood Sacrifice in the Sea of ​​Blood had even reached its final stage, Orochi was already eager to deal with the God of Fire.

"Hiss hiss hiss!~~~~~~" In the huge cave that Ji Beiqin had seen before, a thick aura of blood rose into the sky and permeated the entire hall.

Inside the main hall, there was no battle; the two sides were already fighting fiercely beneath the large hole.

Beneath the enormous cave lies the massive interior of the Fuji Tenzan volcano.

The intense heat surged throughout the vast space.

A giant of fire, several tens of feet tall, was wielding a flaming sword that resembled a samurai's longsword, constantly fending off the relentless attacks of the red-horned python's head.

"Buzz!!!!!" Suddenly, a bloody stench, even more pungent than sulfur, appeared in the volcanic space shrouded in white mist.

Those streaks of blood, like lightning, swiftly filled the entire volcanic space.

"You...you actually sacrificed your followers with blood!!!" The fire giant was utterly shocked. As it spoke, streams of crimson flames spewed from its enormous mouth.

"Oh no... some believers still retain their faith in this god!"

"You actually used them as weapons against me! ~~~~~"

"Damn it! Damn it!!!" The fire giant was enraged.

Previously, although it fought fiercely, it did not say anything or negotiate or verbally exchange blows with the Yamata no Orochi.

But this time, Orochi's actions have truly crossed its bottom line!

"Flaming Mountain of the East, heed my command!..." The Flame Giant threw down his long sword and began chanting incantations wildly.

Meanwhile, the Japanese people, who had just experienced the massacre of their entire family, were still mourning when, in the next second, they felt a violent earthquake.

Along with the earthquake, a pungent smell of sulfur permeated the air...
