Chapter 2623: Completing the Epic Hidden Quest

Lin Mu witnessed everything that happened on the ground in Edo Castle…

Part of it was seen through live streaming, and part of it was seen directly from the small boat.

After the Primordial Azure Dragon opened the Blood Sea Rift, the Blood Sea he carried began to boil, and the water level dropped rapidly.

Lin Mu maneuvered the ship quickly to the crevice, where he witnessed the Ancient Azure Dragon and the Eight-Headed Serpent parting ways.

He never expected things to turn out this way...

The life of the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python was truly full of ups and downs, with nineteen twists and turns!
However, Lin Mu vaguely felt that the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python would truly be called the Eight-Headed Serpent from now on!

"My lord, the divine-level formation has been broken!!!" Xu Yuan, on the small boat, looked extremely grim.

"That bloodline formation is still there. As long as the sea of ​​blood doesn't dry up, the bloodline formation can continue to operate. But the heavenly tribulation is so fierce, it seems it can't hold on any longer..."

The thunderbolt struck, instantly obliterating the array Xu Yuan had set up. Even though it didn't directly hit the sacrificial plaza.

"Wait for the right moment and activate that formation ahead of time. Under the Heavenly Tribulation, the Orochi's resistance might be minimal. In fact, your formation might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!" A scene suddenly appeared in Lin Mu's mind, and he said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Here!" Xu Yuan took out a new ship and began to move away from the crack.

He had lost his teleportation ability and had to separate from his lord, Lin Mu. His lord Lin Mu's battlefield was outside, while his battlefield was in the sea of ​​blood.

Previously, fearing that the two main characters would disrupt it, the bloodline array had remained hidden.

Both are currently experiencing issues; the startup might succeed.

"I've been waiting for this day for so long!" Xu Yuan said with deep emotion.

……

"Crack!!!" Bolts of lightning continued to strike the massive body.

The lower body, which had been dry and withered, began to radiate a powerful vitality as the old dirt and grime on it started to fall off after being struck by lightning.

"Roar!!!" The nine-headed azure dragon python, no... it should be called the eight-headed serpent, roared, and the seal suddenly cracked open again, gushing out countless streams of blood.

Lin Mu's small boat also cracked as blood gushed out.

"Bang!!" The small boat was no match for the dense spatial power surrounding it and shattered instantly.

Lin Mu was enveloped in dragon energy, using his Heavenly Gang power to resist the invasion of spatial power. However, he was sent flying into the sky along with the blood.

"I can't be struck by the heavenly tribulation, get out of here!" After being pulled by the blood, Lin Mu decisively jumped away from the blood.

He landed slowly, appearing right near Hattori Hanzo.

Three men fought against a dragon, their battle raging fiercely.

Hattori Hanzo and that mysterious figure, with their ferocious fighting power, have gradually gained the upper hand over the people of the Dragon Vein.

Oda Nobunaga's aura had weakened again; he must have just used a short burst of power.

"Boom!!!!!" Thunder roared continuously in the sky.

Lin Mu glanced at the surrounding environment and found that even though he had destroyed it, the ruins were still habitable and could be restored into a city. Now, however, the land was devastated, with huge cracks spreading out and dense, violent earth vein energy permeating the area, making it a murderer for ordinary people.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

For Edo Castle to possess a dragon vein, and for that dragon vein to be born, it needs to undergo trials and tribulations. However, this time the trials were far too severe; one wrong move and it was gone…

Lin Mu glanced at the battlefield and noticed that although the Dragon Vein Body was being suppressed, it was gradually becoming more familiar with its body control over time, which would be the time for it to counterattack.

Without participating, Lin Mu glanced at the ball of golden liquid floating in the sky, a greedy glint in his eyes.

However, the result given by the Tai Long Qi Observation Technique made him abandon his thoughts:

Name: [The Origin of the Dragon Vein]

Rank: Acquired Spiritual Treasure

Characteristics: Origin of the Dragon Vein
property:????
Description: The dragon vein's origin is sealed by the karma of heaven and earth. Touching it will incur divine punishment, and consuming it will result in severe karmic consequences. Its exterior has been cursed by the dragon; touching it will erode one's lifespan and weaken one's destiny.

……

Good heavens, nothing goes well, whether we try to avoid it from the inside or the outside!

No wonder that guy was so comfortable letting others try to collect it.

"Forget it, this is part of the calamity of the Primordial Azure Dragon. If I touch it, I'll be caught in the trap. That's not a good idea. I'll wait and see if there's any chance of a reversal." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Lin Mu also coveted this dragon vein's essence, and if possible, he was prepared to open his Heavenly Mandate and seize it directly!

After observing for a while, Lin Mu retreated and moved away from the battlefield.

Arriving behind a crack in the ground, Lin Mu began using the Soul Chapter to summon Huang Zhong and Dian Wei. However, the system indicated that the attempt had failed. The rules of this area were special, making spatial manipulation impossible. Furthermore, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong carried karma, and if they were teleported there, they would be struck by lightning.

At this moment, there were no ordinary people left in the entire Edo Castle.

Helpless, Lin Mu could only abandon this idea and continue watching the show.

"Boom!~~~" Thunderclouds continued to bombard the sky, while the Yamata no Orochi floating in the sky kept dropping all kinds of trash.

Soon, the true form of the Yamata no Orochi appeared.

It was a very deformed and enormous body.

Seven of the eight snake bodies are broken, and the middle one is the body of a blue dragon, making it a strange and incongruous creature.

Its tail, due to the lightning strike, was now shiny, with some of its bluish-green scales shimmering with a metallic sheen...

Unexpectedly, the lightning strike brought it back to life!
However, the lightning strikes were not over yet.

What Lin Mu and the others couldn't see was that the pillar of karmic lightning above the sky had stopped bombarding them, and below it, another layer of dark clouds was spreading. Streaks of white lightning flashed on it, quickly forming bolts of lightning that struck the Yamata no Orochi.

This is the tribulation of transformation!
Under the lightning tribulation, the Yamata no Orochi's tail stood upright, and at its tip was a tail sword.

That's... the Kusanagi Sword!

The Yamata no Orochi actually used the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi to overcome this tribulation of lightning; it's quite intelligent!
Soon, the thunderous roar subsided, and the enormous object in the sky gradually shrank, from blotting out the sun to becoming several thousand feet tall... and then several hundred feet tall...

"Holy crap, did it not work?" Lin Mu looked down in astonishment at everything that was happening.

"Boom!!!" However, the red and black lightning bolts reappeared in the sky.

"Could it be two waves of lightning tribulation...? Is the first one a good lightning tribulation?"

"Crack!!" Before long, the lightning bolt struck the Yamata no Orochi directly.

The lower half of his body, which was originally covered with hard, blue snake scales, was hit directly, and a huge blood hole suddenly appeared.

This lightning tribulation is completely different in power from the previous ones!

"Swoosh!!!" At this moment, Lin Mu saw the Yamata no Orochi swing its tail and stab towards the sky.

"Huh... the Kusanagi Sword!" Lin Mu saw the long sword on its tail.

"Boom!!!" However, the appearance of the Kusanagi Sword seemed to have enraged the karmic lightning, and two lightning pillars appeared in the sky at the same time.

One shot went straight for the tail, and another blasted towards the dragon's head!

"BOOM!!!" The next moment, the entire sky went dark for a moment, and two huge booming sounds reverberated outwards.

A huge bloody hole appeared in both the tail and head of the Yamata no Orochi.

"Awooo!!!!!" The familiar voice of the Yamata no Orochi roared...

He lacks sufficient merit from heaven and earth, is burdened with heavy karma, is entangled in cause and effect, and is not in his peak condition. He cannot survive this calamity with just the Kusanagi Sword!
At that moment, the Yamata no Orochi, which had not yet survived the tribulation of lightning, suddenly swung its tail.

The sacred weapon of Japan was severed at the tail and shot towards the other side of the battlefield.

Their target was none other than Oda Nobunaga!

"Damn... that Yamata no Orochi still believes in the Japanese... They treated it like that, and it still repays evil with kindness... speechless." Lin Mu felt a toothache as he watched Yamata no Orochi shoot the Kusanagi Sword at Oda Nobunaga.

He dared not directly confront the Yamata no Orochi at this stage, fearing the heavenly tribulation would affect him. This possibility is very high…

"Bang!!!" Oda Nobunaga, who was assisting from the side, did not expect that the sacred treasure of Japan would suddenly descend upon him.

He looked at the Kusanagi Sword floating in front of him, then looked up at the sky and saw the Yamata no Orochi spraying blood rain from the sky, his expression extremely complicated.

He never expected that the Yamata no Orochi would bestow this gift upon him at this time.

Then, under his gaze, three, four, or even five bolts of lightning appeared in the sky at the same time, all of which struck the Yamata no Orochi!
"Awooo!!!" the Yamata no Orochi roared, its voice filled with resentment. But in the end, it didn't blame the Primordial Azure Dragon... However, it didn't help the Primordial Azure Dragon again afterward.

"Buzz!!!" At this moment, a strange wave rippled outwards. A jet-black light shot out from the previous blood sea rift, directly striking the damaged and wailing Azure Dragon head.

"Buzz!!!!!" Thick streams of blood energy spread out.

"Boom!!!" Just then, bolts of lightning erupted from the sky like raindrops, completely engulfing the Yamata no Orochi...

Amidst a sky full of lightning, the Yamata no Orochi's new body turned to dust and ashes...

However, unseen by anyone, amidst the swirling lightning and dust, a strange, broken stone tablet slowly emerged. A beam of spiritual light suddenly appeared and pierced through it. Then, the stone tablet fell to the ground and vanished…

"--Ding!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your subject Xu Yuan has slain the national guardian beast of the Eastern Kingdom, [Yamata no Orochi], breaking the bloodline curse. You have completed the epic hidden quest [The Curse of the Divine Beast Yamata no Orochi]."
