Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

With a single move, hundreds of demons turned to ash.

"Wow, so powerful!" Some superhumans and monsters on the ground looked up at the sky.

Zhao Hao had already drawn the demonic sword White Serpent from his waist. "Listen to the wind's whisper!" He held the sword with both hands and slashed out.

A massive, bright white blade of energy, twenty or thirty meters long, slashed down from mid-air, accompanied by a hurricane-like sword aura stretching dozens of meters!

"Whoosh~" The superhuman in the distance felt a white light suddenly appear in the sky, and then a gust of wind suddenly whistled in his ears.

Then the ground started to shake.

With a single sword strike, a deep trench, five or six meters wide and extending nearly a hundred meters backward from the front line of the battle, appeared.

The demons along the way were all reduced to ashes!

On the battlefield, there were naturally the old emperor's spies observing. He watched everything from a distance, his forehead covered in cold sweat, as he watched the swordsman who had cleaved a gap in the demons' lines with a single sword strike. He wrote in his notebook:

"Although I have seen the canal that stretches for several kilometers in Heian-kyo, witnessing this figure slaying hundreds of demons with a single sword still leaves me utterly bewildered..."

In his final assessment, he hesitated for a moment before writing: "His combat strength is suspected to be above Bronze 3-star; he cannot be defeated in a direct confrontation!"

With Zhao Hao at the forefront, the advance became much easier. Within the demonic territory, neither giant monsters fifteen or sixteen meters tall nor any other mysterious and unpredictable creatures could withstand this strike.

Zhao Hao only made a few strikes, and the human superhuman successfully advanced more than a kilometer.

However, Zhao Hao was relentlessly slaughtering demons and advancing his lines closer to Mount Fuji. The demons, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch.

Some of them are made of bronze, and quite a few of them.

A divine chariot appeared, and it looked like a kind-faced old monk. But it was actually a monster that ate people.

The one in front of me is already a Bronze 1-star.

It awakened at the very beginning of the psionic resurgence, gaining a first-mover advantage. Operating in remote areas, it consumed countless resources over a decade, especially in recent years, devouring dozens or even hundreds of enemies. Finally, it advanced to Bronze!

Although its strength is far inferior to those veteran Bronze-level beings before the psychic powers faded, it is still Bronze-level. In just a few hours of fighting, it has already killed dozens of superhumans.

We don't know about its direct combat capabilities yet, but it has one ability that's really annoying.

It can perform very powerful disguises—it can deceive your consciousness, and when it appears next to you, you will subconsciously accept its presence, as if there really is an old monk by your side, so it will not arouse any suspicion or vigilance.

When it deems the time opportune, it will suddenly launch an attack, often killing with a single blow. By the time the surrounding superhumans react, it has already escaped. But it will soon reappear in other groups, continuing to wreak havoc.

Although it wasn't a powerful bronze monster like the Centipede Elder, which could fly hundreds of meters long and kill dozens or even hundreds of superhumans with a single dive, it was still not something that ordinary superhumans could withstand.

Unfortunately, this thing actually chose Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao stared at it, his brows furrowed: "Are you fucking stupid? I'm flying in mid-air, and you're the only one around me. Are you trying to act like the best sixth man?!"

With a "clang," the white snake was drawn from its sheath and instantly transformed into a giant snake tens of meters long, lunging forward.

After all, it was a bronze-level demon, and this sword strike failed to kill it completely. Although it was cut in two and even its lower body was swallowed by the white snake, its upper body still managed to run away.

Zhao Hao was furious. He activated his Instant Step in mid-air, his body flashing with lightning as he caught up to Zhao Hao. He unleashed another downward slash!

With that one strike, the monk monster was dead.

"1200 Fate Points, that's fair enough for your price tag. He~tui~"

Actually, this divine chariot is not cerebral palsy. Although it is not a smart monster, it is not stupid either.

谷捥

It was there to coordinate with another bronze ghost crow, and to ambush Zhao Hao in advance.

Given its capabilities, it shouldn't have been possible to discover anything suspicious in such a short time.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao seemed unaffected and immediately drew his sword to strike.

The Divine Chariot here is already dead, and the Ghost Crow, which was supposed to be the main damage dealer, has only flown a few hundred meters away.

That ghost crow was truly cunning; upon seeing the divine chariot perish, it exhaled a cloud of black smoke and vanished instantly.

Would Zhao Hao really let it escape at this point? They can't even find the Bronze Monster, and this cooked crow thinks it can fly away?

Instantly, a large-scale barrier enveloped the area, directly trapping the ghost crow that had transformed into black smoke.

This ghost crow had some fighting ability; it lasted for less than four minutes before dying.

2100 Fate Points, not a wasted effort!

If this goes well, getting a ten-pull of Silver rank won't be a problem!

With two bronze-level enemies killed in succession, the demons' morale plummeted. Although there were other scattered bronze-level enemies, who would dare to come up and die?

In an instant, the speed of the superhumans' advance increased dramatically, and the demons were forced to retreat in defeat.

Many extraordinary individuals secretly looked up at the figure above them, swallowing hard. They felt that he was radiant with light, towering and awe-inspiring, majestic and godlike—Zhao Hao had activated [Emperor Engine Activation], his aura increased by 99, and his intimidation increased by 99.

You imaginative idiot, your emperor is back!

Zhao Hao's appearance broke the deadlock and tipped the scales of victory toward humanity.

But as mentioned before, those nine powerful demons are no pushovers.

Humanity would need two or more bronze-level superhumans to hold them off.

Seeing this scene, it was naturally intolerable. The area in charge of this demon—the Decapitation Demon Blade Flag Graveyard—became extremely angry.

It has two forms. One is a demonic sword form, the kind that can be held in someone's hand. The other is a large-scale destructive form, transforming into a giant blade wheel that races across the ground and in mid-air. Basically, it can cut someone in two with a single strike, leaving no enemy unscathed.

Previously, it was discovered that the sheer power of these powerful monsters was terrifying; the Iron-rank transcendents were like insects, utterly helpless, with dozens or even hundreds dying instantly. That's why the Bronze-rank transcendents were needed to hold them off.

At this moment, the flag graveyard suddenly erupted with demonic power. At the cost of withstanding two or three attacks, it wounded a bronze-level transcendent and broke through the encirclement of the three. It then transformed into a giant blade wheel with a diameter of three meters and rushed towards Zhao Hao in the distance.

Zhao Hao heard a sharp whistling sound in the air, and a huge blade wheel came crashing down from the distance. The blade was cold and dazzling, and it was extremely fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

A crisp "ding" sounded.

The flag cemetery collided with the white snake, and the blade wheel was knocked into the air, where it circled once before crushing down again.

This thing weighs several tons and has an extremely fierce attack. It once split open a small mountain summoned by an Onmyoji using the Five Elements Secret Technique in one go.

In other words, Zhao Hao's current strength can be described as invincible, capable of lifting mountains; otherwise, a normal bronze swordsman would not be able to withstand a direct hit.

Of course, the bronze-grade demon sword White Serpent is also a necessary condition. It's impossible to catch it with bare hands.

Other swords and blades of slightly lower quality would not be able to withstand this strike.

Although the response was rushed, Zhao Hao had used eight-tenths of his strength and six-tenths of his spiritual energy. Unexpectedly, the Demon Blade Flag Graveyard showed no signs of injury, while the White Snake flicked its tongue, indicating that it couldn't take it anymore.

If he gets hit a few more times, he'll be crippled.

It seems that there are differences between different demon swords, just like there are different kinds of bronze swords.

"I can't go head-to-head with this thing. The blade is really hard!" Zhao Hao felt that unless he took out the Radiant Dragon Crescent Blade, he couldn't fight it head-on.

However, while it's tough enough from the front, the side is a different story.

The front of this blade wheel is all blades, but the sides are open.

Everyone else was crushed, and even if they discovered this weakness, they had no way to exploit it; in other words, just being able to protect themselves was already a great achievement. But Zhao Hao was different; Zhao Hao should have been crushing the Flag Graveyard.

……

On Zhao Hao's side, the Demon Blade Flag Graveyard was a battleground where swords clashed, while the Crane had already begun coordinating with the other Bronze Saints to besiege the Centipede Elder.

That centipede elder was incredibly vigorous. When he flew in the sky, he was a dragon hundreds of meters long, and when he swooped down, it was like a giant train derailing.

There are three bronze-level opponents trying to hold them back, how can they possibly hold them back?

One Onmyoji and one swordsman, neither skilled at dealing with giant creatures, were already quite injured. Only the last Bronze-level expert was still managing to hold on.

It turned out to be a gigantic alien life form over thirty meters tall—its body was silver and white, its two large eyes bulged out like half a salted egg, it had a blue gem on its chest, two forks on its head, and a somewhat dazed expression.

Um... I've heard there's a site in China called Sanxingdui, a kind of otherworldly ruins, where many bronze statues were found, many of them with protruding eyes. Could it be that the ancient Chinese saw these things and that's why they left behind these designs? (Just kidding, don't take it seriously.)

It was this enormous creature with the strange pronunciation, called Ultraman, that managed to barely restrain this incredibly long centipede elder.

"Swift Wind Crane Shadow Kick~" With a crane's cry, the crane swept past the centipede elder's body like the wind.

A section of the black, shiny carapace, about the size of a jeep and covered in spikes, suddenly cracked open with a deep fissure, and the next second a stream of green pus gushed out.

"Wow!" the crane exclaimed, "What kind of insect is this? It's so hard!"

The crane's kick could have leveled a small hill, but it only left a two-meter-long wound.

The wound looks huge, but it's nothing to the Centipede Elder.

But Ultraman was already shocked, because the three of them had tried everything before and could only barely crack a piece of the shell.

At this point, he couldn't care less whether the talking crane was a monster or not. Ultraman whispered, "I can only hold on for three more minutes at most. After that, I won't be able to fight anymore..."

Crane: "Understood!"

……

The Earth Stone Demon Mountain was now covered in demonic flesh and blood, lying across the demonic territory like a millstone grinding grain.

Seeing this, Mad Bone Demon used a powerful move from the Demon Realm, summoning the demonic domain of the Bone Wasteland to temporarily trap the two Bronze Transcendent beings. Then, he turned to face the mountain.

The colossal monster, formed from countless skeletons, burned with blue ghostly flames, and swung its long sword at the mountain...

The little soft creature devoured hundreds or even thousands of demons in a short period of time, and it was extremely satisfied.

Finally, I can eat to my heart's content without having to eat dirt!

At this moment, the Source Water, which was near the three great demons, also arrived to provide support. After all, they couldn't let the demons fall into a disadvantageous position.

The source of the water rolled towards Xiaoruan.

As for the other powerful demons, they won't be able to arrive in a short time, since the furthest one is several counties away.

……

In the basement of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the Emperor, dressed in his finest attire, stood in the midst of a grand ceremony, having prayed for over an hour. His legs trembled, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

The ritual formation was enormous, with its edges extending for an unknown distance along the underground passages.

Surrounding the Emperor were twelve Bronze Transcendent beings, each wielding a magical artifact to maintain their spiritual energy output.

Outside, there were eight other bronze superhumans continuously throwing offerings into the ceremony, ranging from grains to jade, metals, and superhuman materials, in huge quantities, enough to fill several trucks.

As the ritual proceeded, a power originating from the underworld began to permeate the air.

This is a different kind of underworld power from the Yellow Springs of the East; it is extremely powerful.

This action undoubtedly enraged Izanami, but He was powerless to stop it.
