Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

But now, more than half of the demons from the inner world have been moved to the outer world, and they can even continue to enter later.

It's probably only a matter of time before tens of millions of demons descend upon the world.

At this moment, the old emperor lay in the center of a golden magic circle within the Kyoto Imperial City, six fragments of divine essence embedded in his chest. These were the result of countless lives sacrificed by the royal spies during this period.

At this moment, the old emperor used himself as a sacrifice, with fragments of his divine essence as a medium, relying on the spiritual veins beneath Kyoto to resist the demonic upheaval brought about by the Yamata no Orochi, and maintain the suppression of the fortunes of half of Honshu.

He can't hold on much longer; he was already a dying man. He's currently sustaining himself by burning the Amaterasu bloodline within him.

Like a small boat in a raging storm, a small boat piloted by an old fisherman who is terminally ill, it is only a matter of time before it capsizes.

Even with the old emperor's willingness to risk his life and fight against Orochi on his deathbed, the area around Mount Fuji had already completely fallen.

The barrier between the inner and outer worlds here seems to have completely disappeared; even the terrain of the inner world has been integrated into the outer world.

The number of demons is countless! They would probably number two or three hundred thousand!

From an aerial view, it appears as a dense, dark mass, almost covering the entire mountainside.

Meanwhile, those who were there to deal with the Yamata no Orochi had already appeared here.

Besides Princess Chika, who held aloft the Three Sacred Treasures to form a magic array to intimidate Orochi, there was also:

Ashiya Dōman, the unorthodox Onmyoji who was resurrected hundreds of years ago, is now a Bronze 4-star, not far from the powerful Bronze 5-star. I wonder what he did to that Heroic Demon.

The most powerful Onmyoji in the world today, Tsuchimikado Sensaki, was originally a Bronze 3-star, but now he secretly hides a fragment of a godhood, which means he must have other plans.

Saiou of Ise Grand Shrine, who holds the original Yata no Kagami, is a Bronze 2-star, but since she is holding the true form of the divine artifact, she deserves to be treated with more respect.

The priestess of Izumo Taisha, Senkei Hidee, was originally only a Bronze 1-star, but thanks to her experience of serving the Ōkuninushi for thousands of years, Izumo Taisha has a natural advantage in finding divine fragments and has four divine fragments in her possession.

Master Quanzhi, the oldest and most accomplished living Zen master in the Pure Land School, is a bronze level 3 master and can be considered a representative figure of Japanese Buddhism. He is 116 years old and quite frail.

En no Akira, a young girl of Bronze Rank 1, is a direct descendant of En no Ozunu, who was regarded as a sage in Japan and founded the Yamabushi Shugendo (Mountain Climber's Path of Rebirth). However, she possesses the shikigami Maeki and Goki left behind by her ancestors.

The most renowned Hattori Hanzo among the Japanese ninjas should be considered the 16th Hattori Hanzo. Hattori Hanzo is a title, not a name. This ninja, a Bronze 2-star, was like a wisp of black smoke, his features obscured.

The shogun who has been inactive for a long time, the current Shogun Tokugawa Shigekuni, a bronze 3-star samurai, or rather, the highest rank of samurai, the Shogun.

Finally, there's Zhao Hao—the great swordsman Yasuo, making a total of ten!

The other Bronze players are out of the question, like the newly promoted Nanaya Saki, or ordinary Bronze 1-star monks and Onmyoji. Even cheering them on from the sidelines is risky for them.

Chapter 459 Cut off one head and two more will grow back

Nine people surrounded Mount Fuji, facing the ferocious Yamata no Orochi.

Zhao Hao discovered that this thing was really ferocious!

He had seen the Lava Lord before, a proper Silver-rank. But these were, after all, two different types.

The Lord of Lava is considered the pinnacle of elemental beings. Although it is the size of a small mountain, it is not the pinnacle of a super-giant mythical creature like the Yamata no Orochi.

In particular, the Lord of Lava was in an awkward situation when he tried to invade the inner and outer worlds but was stuck.

If it weren't in the Otherworld, but in the Otherworld fandom, then it would probably be a storyline that everyone would love to see.

At that time, He was able to display less than half of His power.

The Yamata no Orochi before us is different. Although two of its eight heads are brain-dead and its resurrection ritual was incomplete, making it only a pseudo-silver-level being, it is still a top-tier, colossal being among mythical creatures.

In China, it would be on par with the likes of Xiangliu and Bashe.

At this moment, as the Yamata no Orochi was resurrected, a surge of spiritual energy on Mount Fuji transformed into a strangely colored radiance, piercing through both the inner and outer worlds and directly opening up the flow of spiritual energy between them.

The miasma in the outer world suddenly thickened, and the inner and outer worlds of the entire Eastern Japan began to draw closer to each other.

No wonder Kisame placed the future of demons on Orochi. Rather than a demon god, it is more like a living miasma vein, the savior of demons!

The Qi flames of this thing were simply unparalleled, like a mushroom cloud or a towering torch piercing through the clouds, stirring up a surge of spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Even the Lava Lord wasn't this arrogant. Are all beasts more arrogant?

Isn't this a bit too arrogant? It's incredibly crazy!

If you only look at the spiritual energy flames and clouds, Zhao Hao would think that some kind of spiritual energy disaster had occurred, such as a large-scale volcanic eruption or tsunami in the inner world!

There's absolutely no sense of reason involved; this doesn't seem like a thinking, independent individual at all!

What surprised him even more was that the eight-headed serpent coiled on Mount Fuji, its eight heads looking around in a daze, before raising their heads, flicking their huge tongues, and charging fiercely at the massive number of demons on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Several large snake heads crashed into the mountain or the ground, causing the soil and rocks to break and the mountain to collapse.

Some spewed out a thick, liquid-like green poisonous mist; some spewed out numerous forked lightning bolts; some spewed out large fireballs; and some simply glared and shot out two beams of red light...

This Yamata no Orochi has actually gone on a killing spree among the demons!

In that instant, the eight heads charged down and wreaked havoc, killing thousands of demons!

"Holy crap! Has it gone mad?" Zhao Hao was a little confused. Why was it attacking its own people?

Even if you look down on these lackeys, you don't have to resort to such deadly methods, do you? Aren't you supposed to be the "savior of demons" and the "founder of the demon kingdom"?

Is this how you create something? You just create something that will kill you?

Not far from Zhao Hao was Chika, who was continuously casting spells and manipulating the three sacred artifacts to suppress the Yamata no Orochi.

She was under a lot of pressure at this time.

Although he possessed a replica of the Three Sacred Treasures, it was still just a replica, possessing only a fraction of the power of the Three Sacred Treasures.

Moreover, she herself had not reached the Bronze level. She relied entirely on the massive consumption of spiritual energy magatama and her status as a princess to drive her. If Orochi had not failed to truly advance to the Silver level, she would not have been able to suppress it at all.

Of the three sacred treasures, only the Yasakani no Magatama remains. The Yata no Kagami was taken by Amaterasu, and the Ame no Kusanagi was taken by Susanoo.

After all, we're venturing into an unknown world to explore new territories, so we need to bring along some handy equipment.

Only the Yasakani no Magatama, symbolizing the identity of a divine grandson, remained.

That thing is currently kept in the Imperial Palace, helping to suppress the turbulent national fortunes of Japan.

"Yagi's got quite a temper when he wakes up!" Zhao Hao laughed. He was thinking of something happy.

Although Orochi seems incredibly fierce and powerful, it is still only a fully-fledged pseudo-Silver level cultivator. Even if all nine of our high-level Bronze level cultivators attacked together, they might not be able to withstand it. Moreover, it's unlikely that these nine people would be willing to risk their lives and cooperate wholeheartedly.

He could still laugh in this situation because he had seen Orochi's weakness.

Looking at it now, this thing seems to have no brain!

That's right, Oni-ri-mi also discovered that Lord Orochi, who is so eager to lead the revival of demons, seems to have no brains!

This is where Orochi and Oni-ri-mi made their oversights.

Yamata no Orochi was, after all, just a great yokai from the Age of Gods, and the kind of large divine beast that wasn't known for its intelligence.

The fact that it could conceive of splitting its soul and using the seal to reincarnate and seek a chance for rebirth already demonstrates that its survival instincts were at work.

It was the age of gods back then, and humans were still relatively primitive beings. How could it possibly understand humans?

As a high-ranking oni, Kisato considers humans inferior, and spends his days manipulating people's minds. He looks down on humans in terms of both character and strength. After all, for the past few centuries, he has used humans as pawns.

Arrogance is a cardinal sin!

Both Orochi and Oni-sato underestimated humanity and human nature!

The endless reincarnation over thousands of years has given those fragmented souls human qualities. It is the result of dozens or even hundreds of lifetimes of experience and reflection.

Each of those divided souls also developed its own consciousness, spirituality, and humanity.

Although Rikimi's arrangements and planning over the past ten years have greatly stimulated those elites who were reincarnated with divided souls, awakening the Orochi part of their souls, the human part did not disappear.

This led to problems when the six fragments of the soul were finally merged.

Kisato thought that at most it would weaken Orochi for a while, and that it might be unable to use two of its abilities temporarily. But in reality, the problem was more serious.

The soul and body, unable to merge, exhibited a repulsive reaction, a very intense one.

Now Orochi is alive, but it is his body and his instinctive bestiality that have come back to life.

The spirit and soul were not unified at all, let alone integrated with the body.

Guilijian's plan, which he had been plotting for so many years, was flawed to begin with, and Zhao Hao's intrusion made it a flawed and incomplete mess.

The Orochi of today is a complete monster, devoid of any consciousness, possessing only the bestial instincts of slaughter and destruction.

Therefore, the demons who were closest to the attacking demons, who were cheering and even worshipping them, were the first to be attacked.

Orochi even found these little things delicious, and devoured several hundred of them in large gulps.

……

Everyone present, including the demons, was completely stunned; they never expected such a scene to unfold.

The Yamata no Orochi, regarded as a god and the core of revival by the demons, did not hesitate to slaughter and devour the demons.

Those monsters were practically wailing and fleeing for their lives, tears streaming down their faces.

But the Yamata no Orochi is so big, its area is practically a mountain peak, and every move it makes causes the earth to shake. Where can it escape to?

A giant serpent, coiled around the entire mountain peak, with eight heads rampaging and devouring everything in its path, unleashing a variety of massive magical attacks that wreaked havoc among hundreds of thousands of demons.

The scene was earth-shattering!

Zhao Hao even wanted to film it as a special effects movie and then cut it into the film when he returned to Amei.

"It's a pity, we can't just watch the dogs fight each other." Zhao Hao shook his head slightly.

Although the demons were routed and suffered countless casualties, this was a good thing. However, the Yamata no Orochi was also taking the opportunity to recover its strength. Its spiritual energy was constantly increasing, and devouring demons further accelerated its recovery.

If we really ignore it and all the demons die, Orochi will probably become a true Silver-level monster capable of destroying a nation.

Princess Saiou of Ise Grand Shrine also saw this clearly, and being the highest-ranking person there, she spoke up softly, "Everyone, let's make our move too. We can't give Orochi too much time."

By this time, most of the superhumans had already withdrawn from the battlefield, whether by car, horse, magic, or with the help of shikigami. Flying would have made things even easier. In short, they had all withdrawn to within a 40-kilometer radius of the battlefield.

They're still retreating to even more distant places.

The remaining bronze-level extraordinary beings had been observing the Yamata no Orochi for a while using their own methods.

Well, everyone's heart is heavy.
