Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

His main goal was to buy time, since he was considered an ally of Huang Quan.

The two princes are dead; that's what he wanted.

Of course, this was only the first step; the two princes were the bargaining chips in his deal with two other powerful figures.

Izanami felt pleasure in wanting the two princes dead, and she could also obtain their souls.

Emperor Sutoku was pleased to have his two princes killed, and it would also deprive them of their good fortune.

Kisami wanted the two princes dead, not out of personal grudges, but because he wanted their divine bloodlines to be used as the main offering in the Yamata no Orochi ritual!

It can be said that everything was arranged perfectly.

Would humanity agree to this? Absolutely not!

So he didn't mention his own conditions and directly steered the conversation to another mysterious person.

Honestly, how did these two get here? When did they arrive? Even he, the mastermind behind the conspiracy, didn't notice.

Who exactly is this deity?

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Genwa Nakano and Ashiya Dōman.

Ashiya Dōman, with a smile on his face and holding a black feather fan, bowed slightly and said, "My name is Ashiya Dōman..."

Everyone was taken aback, especially Tsuchimikado Sensaki.

If this person is not lying, he is actually the monk who once clashed with his ancestor Abe no Seimei.

A superhuman from a thousand years ago has appeared before our eyes?

However, at this time, Ashiya Doman was only a Bronze 3-star, which was far inferior to the legendary power.

If Ashiya Doman's plan is followed and he can be resurrected in the body of the demonized Hyakume, then he can regain his peak Bronze 5-star level.

If he could be resurrected in his descendants, he could truly live a second life, possessing extremely high talent and limitless potential.

But both failed, or rather, they never had a chance to be implemented because of Zhao Hao's presence.

In the end, he could only leave the secret realm in ghost form.

Thanks to his past experience of being exiled as a loser, he had developed the habit of preparing multiple baskets to hold his eggs.

Although many of the "eggs" and "baskets" have gone bad over time, there are always some that can still be used.

Therefore, it is currently in this neither-living-nor-death physical state, and its strength has been restored to Bronze 3-star.

He's a very single guy. Didn't you ask me what I came here for?

"I'm just here to watch the excitement and see if I can get a freebie." As he spoke, he looked at the fragments of divine essence scattered all over the floor of the main hall.

That thing gleamed and sparkled, and was extremely tempting.

Tsuchimikado Sensaki immediately raised his eyebrows: "Don't even think about it! You can't even touch the divine status of Ōkuninushi!"

Ashiya Michimit shrugged, meaning, "Then you guys figure it out."

At this moment, the red torii gate had begun to emit blue smoke, and everyone knew that they could not delay any longer.

Tsuchimikado Sensaki called out to Shuten-dōji, "Why don't we join forces and leave this place first, and then discuss the rest back in the real world? What do you say?"

Shuten-dōji stopped making demands, since if he was truly left in the underworld, there would be no more conditions to be made.

He nodded and exclaimed, "Okay!"

With the two strongest forces joining forces, there's no worry about the two remaining isolated groups not joining. After all, if they don't, they'll be the first to die.

Just as they were talking, a soft cracking sound rang out. The red torii gate instantly turned into a shower of wood chips, which burst into flames before even hitting the ground, turning to ashes.

Those female ghosts from the underworld had no intention of making demands; killing everyone was their only thought.

That's right, including Oni-sato.

What allies? Izanami doesn't need allies. A mere brat has no right to negotiate with the Mother Goddess. Now that the purpose of using her has been achieved, she's no different from anyone else.

In an instant, demons surged in, and the shrine was filled with shouts of battle that shook the heavens and the earth!

The Yellow Springs Ghost's abilities are extremely strange, unlike any ordinary supernatural abilities or spells.

They can draw upon special spiritual energy from the underworld, often creating vortexes of decaying spiritual energy.

Once you get caught up in it... well, here's an example.

An Iga ninja attempted to use Shadow Cloak to ambush a female ghost from behind, but before he could even extend his short sword, he was sucked into a vortex of spiritual energy.

A person ages instantly, and in the blink of an eye, their vitality is exhausted and they turn into bones.

Even more terrifying, less than five seconds after he died, he opened his eyes, which were glowing with ghostly fire, and joined the side of the demons of the underworld!

Another priest at Ise Grand Shrine, while performing a ritual, suddenly saw the face of the ghost of the underworld; he saw his mother, who had passed away more than ten years ago.

In that brief moment of distraction and recollection, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in the arms of the female ghost from the underworld.

She breathed her last, calling out "Mommy" with a smile.

He didn't come back to life and become a demon, but his spirit didn't return to the Sea of ​​Spiritual Energy. Instead, it became nourishment for the Yellow Springs Ghost, making her even stronger.

In short, if you die at the hands of the female ghost of the underworld, you won't even be able to escape that last bit of your spirit.

However, the other Yellow Springs demons are not as strong. Compared to the Black Iron Transcendent beings who can descend to the Yellow Springs, they are several times stronger than demons of the same level.

After all, they are all elites, and it's common for them to kill several at once.

However, there are strong ones among the demons. Those giant demons that are over ten meters tall are something that ordinary black iron cultivators really can't handle.

Even if a bronze-level expert were to eliminate them, there would still be countless more!

Several thousand demons!

The sounds of chanting, reciting scriptures, swords slashing through the air, flames exploding, ice crystals shattering, lightning crackling, the earth breaking, screams, laughter, howls... all filled the air!

Golden, silver-white, fiery red, turquoise, jet black, blood-red, demonic purple, alluring pink... each color is captivating!

The battle lasted only three minutes, and the ground was covered in blood.

The dark purple demon blood and bright red human blood mingled together, forming a bloody mud on the ground. The broken ground, along with the severed limbs and dismembered corpses, created a scene straight out of hell. Oh, this place is hell after all.

The strength of the humans and the monsters was still somewhat lacking, not to mention that the two sides were not genuinely cooperating.

It would be good enough if they could avoid tripping each other up; expecting seamless cooperation and mutual support is impossible.

So in just a few minutes, the situation had already become somewhat unfavorable.

谷笹

Outside, a constant stream of demons and monsters rushed in. The shrine gate had been crushed and trampled down, and even the high courtyard wall had been torn down. Large numbers of demons were pouring in from all directions.

If this weren't for the fact that this is the Ōkuninushi Shrine, which has some power to suppress demons, and that the humans—whether monks, priests, or onmyoji—are all very knowledgeable about magic arrays and barriers, and can at least hold them off to some extent, we would probably be in complete defeat by now!

After about ten minutes of fighting, an old monk from the Faxiang sect died, becoming the first Bronze-ranked warrior to fall.

Compared to the demon-slaying monks of Mount Koya and the Buddhist monks of the Tendai sect, the monks of the Hossō sect of Genkō-ji Temple were not particularly skilled in killing.

Yuanxing Temple primarily enshrines the Medicine Buddha.

Because the Medicine Buddha is the master of the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, he can cure all diseases, relieve all kinds of stubborn illnesses and pains, and eliminate disasters and prolong life... Therefore, the monks of Yuanxing Temple are also rare "extraordinary wet nurses".

This great monk, in particular, is a rare bronze-level wet nurse.

If he hadn't activated the magic array—the Eastern Medicine Buddha's Lapis Lazuli Realm—and saved many severely injured superhumans, the losses among human superhumans would have been doubled.

However, it's common sense to kill healers first on the battlefield. The three female ghosts from the underworld didn't make a move from the beginning, but hid and focused on this apothecary monk.

Sure enough, after holding back for ten minutes, he made a stunning move, giving no one a chance to help, killing them instantly!

The monk's body decayed instantly!

However, the Great Monk of Medicine is, after all, only at the Bronze level, which is different from the Iron level.

Even the soul cannot escape in such a place.

He was decisive, directly separating his soul from his body to unleash a blazing light, burning his soul power ten or a hundred times to release the Eastern Medicine Buddha's Glazed Realm, instantly healing more than twenty severely injured and dying superhumans and monsters.

At this moment, the abbot was so compassionate that he treated all beings, regardless of whether they were human or demon.

He endured for twelve minutes until he was completely burned out. He chanted Buddhist mantras and turned into a wisp of smoke, then disappeared.

Buddhism is particularly adept at the practice of reincarnation.

He was already a Bronze-level Grand Monk; even if he couldn't overcome the mysteries of the womb during reincarnation, he would still have a high chance of walking the path of transcendence again. However, Grand Monk Yaoshi didn't have that opportunity…

The death of the great monk Yakushi can be said to have brought the battle to its climax.

At this point, both humans and monsters were showing no mercy, pulling out their most treasured weapons.

Violent explosions, earthquakes, a rain of psionic light, lightning, ice crystals, flames, rock pillars... it was almost overwhelming.

At this point, the temporary alliance between humans and monsters was already in a precarious state.

If you can't beat them, you can't beat them; that's the difference in raw strength.

Bronze-level combat power can barely hold out, but the difference in combat power between iron-level and black-level combat power is a hundredfold!

Moreover, the timing is not as good as the location. Fighting the Yellow Springs female ghost for a long time in the Yellow Springs will soon exhaust his spiritual energy.

In the Underworld, the spiritual energy recovery of extraordinary beings is ten times slower!

If it weren't for the fact that all the extraordinary individuals present were wealthy and possessed numerous psionic gems, they would have collapsed long ago!

Just as Shuten-dōji was considering whether he should retreat, he thought that if he could steal a few more fragments of divine power before leaving, his trip wouldn't be a complete loss.

The lesser monsters of the Iron rank are dead, but my Bronze rank team is still here, and I'll be able to make a comeback soon.

Just as he and the flying moth were getting ready to make their move, a ship and a car suddenly flew in from the sky!

Human reinforcements have arrived!

Saiō of Ise Grand Shrine, and Kōji of Izumo Taisha Shrine!

Then, Qianjia Yinghui stood at the bow of the ship, waved her hand, and a snow-white psionic rabbit flew out from behind her.

The rabbit soared through the air, running past a horde of demons. Immediately afterward, the demons of the underworld screamed as they were reduced to ashes in a silvery-white psychic glow.

With another wave of her hand, a linen shimenawa (sacred rope) flew out from her sleeve, circling the Ōkuninushi Shrine and forming a protective barrier around humanity.

This is, after all, the shrine of Ōkuninushi, and it retains some of Ōkuninushi's divine power. In the hands of Senke Hidee, it is practically a half-divine artifact.

Once the barrier was formed, even the Bronze 4-star Yellow Springs female ghost could not break it.
