I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Even though the person performing the act was engaging in primal, pleasurable movements, there were only screams and no sounds of pleasure.

The future Mibu Sojiro would swear that today was definitely the most traumatic day of his life, and from that day on, he became even less adept at communicating with women.

Meanwhile, in another mountain range relatively close to the Dragon King's Forest, Modora, along with the Mikado mother and daughter and their shikigami, also passed the test of the final guardian beast, the Monkey King Bambina.

Ding Li and Er Zi, a being with both human form and bestial nature, now lay on the ground, their bodies twisted and no longer recognizable as human.

The mother and daughter, Yumen, were also seriously injured. Yumen Longming's left arm was almost half of his body smashed, and Yumen Longshui lost a leg and was sitting on the ground, using Yin-Yang magic to heal himself.

As for Motara's Night Journey? Although he appeared to be unharmed, he was currently breathing heavily with his eyes closed, his forehead dripping with blood tears.

Before him lay a muscular monkey, its headless corpse lying in front of him.

The surrounding area is full of craters, like those left by a meteorite impact.

The power of the Monkey King Bambina nearly wiped out this group of Onmyoji. If it weren't for the Mikado mother and daughter risking their lives to buy the Night Walker a chance to win, they would probably be the ones lying on the ground now.

Fortunately, they defeated the king beast guarding the last level. Although the ape king Bambina died in battle, he had a great time.

The corpse transformed into two golden orbs the size of basketballs, which floated in front of the Mikado mother and daughter and Modoro Nightwalker. The Ape King's consciousness also told them the purpose of these orbs.

The faces of the mother and daughter Yumen were slightly flushed, and Modoro Yoru's lips twitched as he looked at the two golden eggs in front of him, each the size of a basketball.

Yes, that's right, it really is Egg, the Egg of that ridiculously strong monkey from before.

If they weren't Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) who sensed the terrifying yet captivating life force within this thing, they would have thought it was that wretched monkey playing tricks on them.

Seriously, they actually made them eat eggs!!

"Longshui, you two should eat quickly. You and your mother are both seriously injured."

Modora took one golden egg and threw the other to the Mikado mother and daughter. He then left a message and headed towards his dying shikigami.

Although the germaphobe is very particular about the origin of the things in his hands, he still needs to use them in order for his shikigami to survive.

Ryusui Mikado took the basketball-sized egg, which was the King of Monkeys' pair, and found that its life force was indeed incredibly strong.

But when he thought about its origin, Yumen Longshui's face flushed red with shame and indignation.

That damned stinky monkey, of all things to give them, it had to be that monkey's testicles.

"...Mother."

The petite Mikado Ryusui looked awkwardly at her mother. Her mother's condition was worse than her own; she would have died long ago if it weren't for the Yin-Yang Technique keeping her alive. So Ryusui decided to give the food to her mother first.

"Hmph, so pretentious!"

Yumen Longming knew exactly what his daughter was thinking. After scolding her in a low voice, he grabbed the golden sphere, took a deep breath, and bit into it.

"puff--!"

"Woo!!!"

It wasn't as bad as she had imagined; in fact, it was surprisingly delicious. However, the soup gushed out too quickly and rushed into Mikado Ryūmei's throat, causing her to choke a little.

However, once this thing entered her body, her damaged body began to heal at an incredible speed, as if time had reversed.

Yumen Longshui sighed upon seeing this, noting that aside from its poor quality and origin, its other effects were surprisingly powerful.

Afterwards, Yumen Longshui also drank the rich soup, and his body felt stronger and lighter.

Moreover, the total amount of spiritual energy within his body increased as he transformed.

"Hmph! Aside from its questionable origin, this stuff is quite effective."

Modoro wiped the soup from his mouth and then stopped enjoying the unexpectedly delicious soup. The thought of where it came from made him feel nauseous.

After handing everything over to Ding Li and Erzi, he used his third eye on his forehead to look at the pillar of light descending from the sky.

Finally, we've reached the last hurdle. Everything in this Suspended City, besides providing training, has indeed served to help us cultivate and become stronger.

Even Modoro Yexing couldn't help but admire the city and the intentions of that god-emperor. Besides selecting the talents he needed, it also gave everyone the opportunity to become stronger here.

At least in this month, Ye Xing himself has become dozens of times stronger than he was before he came to the City of Suspended Sky.

His insights into life and death also improved his Yin-Yang skills. He now feels that he has some understanding of the so-called Tai Chi.

Besides improving one's own fundamental nature, one needs to understand one's own desires in a way that is akin to enlightenment.

The unique nature of the City of Suspended Heaven led Modoro to believe that mythology contained a method to become a god, and that the senior who had become a god would guide him on his path.

As long as he wins, that's all that matters. If he wins, he can get everything he wants.

Reiji, who was feeding Esther, watched all this and nodded slightly in satisfaction. However, when he saw Mibu Soujiro, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, praising the young man for his clever tricks.

The other person is in a very miserable state right now. They are doing something very comfortable, but they can't feel comfortable at all. They will probably be traumatized in the future.

If we're talking about whose fault it is, then it's probably Jiuding Zizhi's fault; she'll likely have to take the blame.

"Sigh... poor Sojiro, his first time is going to be like this."

Although Reiji spoke of pitiful and compassionate Mibu Sojiro, he couldn't hide the pleasure in his eyes.

Esther, who was eating xiaolongbao in her arms, looked up at her master with innocent eyes, wondering what was making her so happy.

Perhaps she derives pleasure from toying with others? Esther thought to herself.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! This endless nucleic acid testing is seriously driving me crazy...

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Imperial Martial Arts Tournament Begins, Ketu - Heaven's Fall!

The Imperial Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin. The hundredth floor didn't offer any particularly special scenery; it was just the white snowscape of the Divine Land outside the Suspended City.

Today, the team from the capital's palace ascended to the very top of the Suspended City. Most of them lacked the strength to participate in such a perilous trial, but because they were subjects of the Divine Emperor, they were fortunate enough to reach the vast expanse at the very top.

Those standing on the hundredth floor, whether human or demon, all looked around with excitement and vigilance.

None of those who have made it to this place are simple, and those who have survived to get here are all people who have become stronger.

The arena for the martial arts competition was a vast, boundless snow-covered plain, but in front of it were a series of high platforms where countless officials and generals sat to watch the battle.

On the central stage, which was hidden by a curtain, only a dark figure could be seen with its back to the dazzling sun.

The sound of the army's drums gradually rose, and all the warriors who had entered scattered, with only a very few remaining in groups.

"[By the Heavens above, in this world of white snow, the Divine Lord commands all directions, and here gathers brave warriors from all corners.]"

"May Heaven above bestow mercy upon the world."

The announcer, tasked by the Emperor with proclaiming the imminent start of this final battle, was an old Onmyoji from the Imperial Palace.

The proper etiquette must be observed, and this imperial martial arts competition requires them to give it their all.

After all, even His Majesty the Emperor is watching, not to mention the unimaginable rewards that the winner of the martial arts contest before the Emperor will receive.

"[We pray that on this auspicious day and at this auspicious time, snow will fall to celebrate our land; we offer our incantations.]"

A month has passed, and the celebratory words, accompanied by the thunderous drumbeats, are offered in the final moments.

People may have different feelings—expectation, excitement, or even a ferocious demon—but there is only one undeniable truth.

Starting today, the final battle will begin here.

In a life-or-death struggle, there aren't many rules. How can one win? Only when the God-Emperor is satisfied and calls a halt.

According to inside information, there will be more than one winner, and the God Emperor will select more than one brave warrior.

Therefore, to win, you must eliminate as many of those around you as possible.

"Is this the gift you're giving me, Rhine?" A flippant voice came from the viewing platform closest to the God Emperor. Judging from the voice, it was clearly a woman: "They're all very powerful guys. I really want to have a match with them myself."

The speaker was Matilda, who had been traveling to other worlds for decades since leaving Reiji.

She was already beautiful, but her temperament became even more profound. Her face, characterized by strong, sword-like eyebrows, concealed an incredible tranquility, giving people a sense of exquisite beauty, like a precious sword between her brows.

Wearing a black cloak and a slightly long undershirt, with no sword at her waist, and only a single garment as armor, she wore black boots with gleaming spurs. Although her outfit appeared to be a simple and practical one, she exuded a perfect aura that made her opponents feel 'unable to fight her,' possessing an overwhelming sense of dignity and presence.

Like a heroine, she was not used to the Japanese sitting posture, so she sat cross-legged behind the curtain in a very casual manner, holding a wine cup in her hand and looking at the many warriors on the field with great interest.

Beside Matilda sat a man dressed in a tattered white robe and wearing a hood. This man was none other than her mentor, Rhine-Ouroboros, who had summoned her to this world.

Seeing that Mathilda had grown up, Rhine reappeared in front of her and said that he had a gift for her.

Intrigued, Matilda initially challenged Rhine fiercely, but after failing to win, she followed him to this world alone.

Matilda wasn't too unfamiliar with this parallel universe, since the West was similar to what she knew, except that there were no Flame Haze or Crimson Denizens.

There are only magicians and wizards, and in the East there are cultivators, and in this land there are demons and monsters, and so on.

There aren't many things that can interest Matilda, and she couldn't help but glance at the throne of the God-Emperor.

With her considerable abilities, she could spot a man and a woman sitting somewhere, and the pressure they exerted on her was so intense that looking directly at them would turn her to ashes.

It's not something that can be described as "very strong"; the existence of the other party itself exceeds Matilda's current understanding of what constitutes "powerful."

"They are all people with various desires and pursuits. It will depend on your ability to subdue and gather them under your banner, my dear Matilda."

Upon hearing Matilda's suggestion to stretch her legs, Reigen, or rather Rhine, smiled with satisfaction beneath his hood, offering no objection or comment on Matilda's words.

Upon hearing this, Matilda's face lit up with an eager expression.

How should I put it? After being separated from Rhine for decades and traveling to other worlds, her strength has increased considerably, and the feeling of becoming stronger is wonderful.

But it would be boring if no one stood up to her, but fortunately, the worlds Rhine chose for her were never boring.

This time, they said they were going to send her a few strong men, who she would have to subdue herself, which suited her just fine.

"Then...can I take on that challenge?"

Matilda suddenly stopped smiling and gestured towards the head of the God Emperor, who was also the incarnation of Raiji Amaterasu.

Although she sensed his power, Matilda was not one to be afraid; she longed to playfully spar with someone so strong.

"That's too early for you. Let's talk about it after you've grasped the essence of Tai Chi."

After shaking his head helplessly, Rhine indicated that your power was still too early.

Matilda pursed her lips upon hearing this, but she did heed her teacher's kind advice.

Set your sights on the vast, boundless snow-covered plains, where the fiercest battle is about to unfold.

Before this, the old Yin-Yang Master was performing a prayer, and the thick snow made the place even more desolate.

The other party's voice was clear and serious, containing loyalty and dignity towards the royal family.
