I have a ghost diary

So Chu Jiang used the "authority" granted by 666 to make the earth crack open, cause the Ghost Abyss to tremble violently, and make the Yamata no Orochi sink deep into the rift, as if it had been banished to hell.

Its tail, limited in length, was dragged along by the Yamata no Orochi's main body and forcibly separated from Chu Jiang's body.

But from the end of this tail, a sharp blade shot out! It gleamed with a cold light and aimed at Chu Jiang's brow with no way to avoid it.

Chu Jiang indifferently stretched out his right hand and forcefully grasped the blade.

However, this long sword was terrifyingly sharp, actually slicing through Chu Qi's flesh and penetrating straight into his bone.

Chu Jiang grasped the tip of the knife, but the blade traveled a considerable distance along his palm, narrowly missing Chu Jiang.

Before Chu Jiang could completely defeat the Yamata no Orochi struggling underground, the rain that had been falling from the sky suddenly pierced through the Sun Demon Realm and dripped silently onto Chu Jiang's head.

Moreover, the long sword he was holding scattered and splashed like water, each droplet aimed at his head.

Just as he was about to be hit by countless water droplets, Chu Jiang's eyes narrowed, and he froze time at that moment!

Then the water droplets retreat, either leaving his ghostly realm again, or transforming back into long swords that exude rainwater.

Just as Chu Jiang was about to use the power of the Blood Hand Ghost to suppress and seal the "demon sword," suddenly all the rain in the sky above Ghost Abyss fell!

It's important to understand that Chu Jiang's time restart also has limitations; it can't cover the entire Ghost Abyss.

Seeing the pressure mounting, Chu Jiang quickened his pace, combining the power of the black sun and the blood-handed ghost to create a crimson flame that covered the demonic blade in his hand.

This thing doesn't seem to be a demon, but rather a very special sealing artifact. This is the first time Chu Jiang has encountered a demon that can use sealing artifacts; this Yamata no Orochi is indeed very special.

However... Chu Jiang once felt that the threat of death posed by this sword was greater than that of the Yamata no Orochi itself, though he didn't know if it was just his imagination.

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Chu Jiang successfully suppressed the eerie longsword, which meant that the attack was interrupted.

Before Chu Jiang could put his longsword away for the time being, he heard a crisp "ding!" sound.

That sound, that sound... it sounds like metal striking metal.

Wait! Chu Jiang's pupils contracted. The moment he realized something was wrong, he saw everything in front of him collapse and vanish like snow.

After everything had dispersed, Chu Jiang found the Yamata no Orochi standing peacefully not far from him, its cold eyes devoid of any emotion, one of its tails slightly raised, pointing towards him.

The long, snow-white blade was not in Chu Jiang's hand, but hovered in the air, as if it had pierced a black metal box in front of his forehead a second ago.

The one carrying the box was a female ghost draped in a white bed sheet.

This is a subordinate that Chu Jiang forcibly corrupted and transformed when he dealt with the false god last time; it has been hidden in Chu Jiang's watch all along, and it was just now that it used the black box to block this fatal blow for Chu Jiang at the critical moment.

Of course, the nun ghost doesn't possess that level of intelligence; it's just that Chu Jiang pre-programmed its behavior pattern so that it would automatically run out to block the attack when its master is attacked by a sharp, long, knife-like object.

This mysterious tin box remained unscathed even after being struck by the demonic blade.

The attack was interrupted, and Chu Jiang broke free from the illusion. As a result, the long sword silently slid down and was finally caught in Chu Jiang's hand before it hit the ground.

Only at this moment did Chu Jiang realize what had happened...

He did indeed enter the state granted by 666, and he did indeed cross the ocean of negative emotions. The Ghost Diary did indeed control all the vengeful ghosts, helping him share the damage.

But from the moment the eight snake heads bit at him, Chu Jiang fell into a hallucination—a hallucination brought about by the demonic sword [Tianqi]!

Chu Jiang had always believed that the ability to create illusions was the very power of the Yamata no Orochi.

But judging from the current situation, this is clearly the knife's ability.

It can cause rain to fall in a cloudless area, and people who get wet in the rain will still be affected, even if they use their supernatural powers to keep away from direct contact.

The reason why the three members of Seireitei and Chu Jiang were trapped in the illusion world was because they got caught in the rain when they entered the Demon Abyss.

Now, facing the true form of the demon sword, Chu Jiang was under even more terrifying illusions. He thought he had suppressed the Yamata no Orochi and the demon sword, but in reality, he had been standing motionless since crossing the ocean.

If Chu Jiang hadn't learned about the prophecy from the Ghost Diary and then verified it again from Soga Sayaka, and thus deliberately laid an ambush, he would probably be lying here dead with a knife wound to his body.

By the time Chu Jiang realized what was happening, the Yamata no Orochi, having lost its demon sword, truly attacked with all eight of its heads!

However, Chu Jiang had already adapted to the opponent's offensive and knew that the giant snake's killing move lay in its ability to induce negative emotions; nothing else was enough for him to defeat!

It was almost a complete repetition of the battle in the illusion, where Chu Jiang sealed the giant serpent underground and unleashed a barrage of thunderbolts.

He eventually succeeded in sealing the large snake, which had a real body and was probably not a fake, into the jar.

When Chu Jiang finished all this, he discovered that the spirits of the children who had been too afraid to approach the Yamata no Orochi were now falling into the depths of the Ghost Abyss in confusion...

This puzzled Chu Jiang. It was one thing that they hadn't been saved, but why did they still fall?

Then Chu Jiang saw the headless Ksitigarbha again. It looked almost unchanged, and the entire Ghost Abyss was also almost unchanged.

Although the light rain that had been falling from the sky had stopped as Chu Jiang put away his demon sword, the roars and wails were still there, as was the power that lured people deeper into the Ghost Abyss. It seemed that everything Chu Jiang had done was in vain.

"What is this?!" Chu Jiang looked at the giant snake that had just been sealed away in disbelief.

At this moment, the giant snake had lost its physical form and transformed into a black crystal with eight heads and eight tails, resembling a work of art.

After a long silence, Chu Jiang forcibly ripped the masked ghost off his face, letting Ghost Diary take it back. If Ghost Diary could curse, it would probably be cursing Chu Jiang right now, because the negative emotions were still there and needed time to dissipate.

Chu Jiang had no time to pay attention to the diary. Combining this with the faces of various countries and skin colors he had seen in the sea of ​​negative emotions, he had a very bad feeling.

Perhaps... the real demon is not the Yamata no Orochi, but this demon abyss itself.

Finally, Ghost Abyss may contain the negative emotions of the entire world—yes, the entire world, not just the island nation.

Chapter 402 The Characteristics of Heavenly Cry

Standing there in silence for a long time, Chu Jiang reached out his hand and tried to touch the headless Ksitigarbha again.

This time nothing unusual happened, but when Chu Jiang tried to get away from this place, he found that he was still trapped in this closed time loop.

This proves that the S-class vengeful ghost is indeed still alive and well, and is not the giant snake that Chu Jiang sealed away.

However, once the problem was identified, breaking free was not difficult. At the point where the time flow began and ended, Chu Jiang forcibly used a time restart to slow down the flow rate at one end.

In this way, the beginning and end of the closed loop are broken, and the flow of time naturally disappears without a trace.

Although Chu Jiang escaped the cycle, Soga Hayate did not, because the two were not in the same time stream.

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, then simply took out the demon sword.

This knife is about three feet eight inches long, with a blade as thin as a calamus leaf, a thicker middle section, a guard shaped like a spine, and a pure white handle.

Chu Jiang didn't intend to smash the headless Jizo statue; smashing it would be pointless. If simply destroying the statue were enough, Soga no Hayabusa could have done it on the other side.

Before taking action, Chu Jiang called Zao Xue again, but this time he couldn't get through no matter what he tried, possibly because Chu Jiang had eliminated the supernatural forces inside the Headless Ksitigarbha.

So he had to try it himself.

Chu Jiang first spent some time exploring the characteristics and negative effects of [Heavenly Cry]; he named it based on the description in "Night Ship".

This demon sword is indeed a sealed artifact, and it should be a level zero sealed artifact, with terrifyingly strong effects.

First of all, everything Chu Jiang sensed about the knife's properties in the illusion was real. In other words, its blade could indeed cleave Chu Jiang's body in two, only encountering resistance when it reached the hardest bone.

Moreover, Tianqi can transform into rain, or make rain transform into it.

Finally, there's the knife's terrifyingly powerful illusionary ability, which only works if the target is exposed to its rain.

There is only one way to avoid hallucinations: never touch the rain generated by the demon sword, whether directly or indirectly.

Separating it with the Ghost Realm is useless, because the Ghost Realm was created by the Ghost Master, which is a kind of indirect contact.

Such a powerful sealing artifact naturally has terrifying negative effects; it can cause hallucinations in the user.

It can be said that the more frequently it is used, the more frequently and intensely the hallucinations will occur; in the end, it may even become so severe that the user cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, and may even be forever lost in the world of hallucinations.

Unfortunately, Chu Jiang sensed the two illusory worlds it created with the demon sword—the world of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" and the world of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"—and found that the world of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" had already disappeared.

This means that the old man, Tanaka, is completely dead, and even his body disappeared along with the disappearance of the hallucination.

As for Kujo Kazuki, he should be dead if nothing unexpected happens, but if something unexpected happens, no one knows what will happen.

In the world of Liaozhai, because Chu Jiang did not die, this world has continued to exist.

Moreover, he discovered something terrifying: Belfast wasn't completely free; she had only regained her senses because she had temporarily distanced herself from the demon sword.

Once she gets closer to the demon sword again, she will fall back into the world of Liaozhai and become "Nie Xiaoqian".

Realizing this, Chu Jiang decisively ended the Liaozhai world, thus eliminating the potential threat.

It's unclear how such a terrifying sealed artifact ended up in the Ghost Abyss and came under the control of that vengeful ghost, but for now, it's Chu Jiang's spoils of war.

Fortunately, the one holding this thing was a ghost. It just casually launched an attack, which was then neutralized and taken away by Chu Jiang without any attempt to snatch it back.

If it were a Ghost Master, Chu Jiang estimated that he would have died several times over by now.

Of course, if it were a demon master, and the opponent used the demon sword's power to its extreme, they might very well perish together with Chu Jiang.

In short, this thing is very powerful, but it cannot be abused.

Although Chu Jiang has a certain ability to resist illusions, just as he doesn't easily get lost in the world of Liaozhai; the deepest level of illusion, which is the part he just fell for, is simply impossible to guard against.

Now, Chu Jiang is taking out the Heavenly Cry, not to use it directly, but to use it to sense the presence of Suga Zao Xue.

After all, Hayabusa had also been caught in the rain; she had simply broken free from the illusion and was temporarily unaffected by it, but the connection remained.

Holding a long sword, Chu Jiang closed his eyes and sensed for a while. He quickly and vaguely perceived the location of Suwa Zao Xue. She was standing right next to him, but Chu Jiang could not touch her directly.

......

As for Soga Hayashi, she did not completely place her hopes for escape on others.

Even though the ghost on her body doesn't involve time, it's still a very terrifying ghost.

As Zao Xue's gaze fell upon the surrounding space, it appeared to be upside down, with the sky below and Gui Yuan above, while she herself remained perfectly still.

Suwo Zaoxue was exploring, trying to find the closed loop point that Chu Jiang mentioned, and then make time reverse and shift, which should forcefully break the flow of time.

But just then, Zao Xue suddenly noticed that drops of water were seeping from her skin, which made her frown.

Before Suwa Zaoxue could take any action, she saw the water droplets spontaneously form a line of words on the back of her right hand.

I used rainwater as a medium to try and break you out of the cycle; you tried to leave this place, leaving again and again.

Zao Xue hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe the words, because it was unlikely that Yamata no Orochi would use words to deceive her; rather, it was more likely that Chu Jiang was communicating with her.

As Soga Hayate repeatedly tries to escape the headless Jizo, she returns to the starting point time and time again.

But on the thirteenth time, she was momentarily distracted and saw a man holding a long knife not far ahead, which made her stop immediately.

Chu Jiang's forehead was slightly damp with cold sweat. Using the core power of the Black Sun continuously still put some pressure on him, especially after the fierce battle he had just experienced.
