I Am a Heroic Spirit

Several powerful auras broke through into the confrontation between the two. Although each aura was far inferior to the two, the several auras connected together were extremely powerful and broke the confrontation between the two.

"Hmm... Harumi..."

"Son of the White Fox."

Tamamonomae and Arashi simultaneously restrained their momentum and looked at the people coming. There were ten people and one beast, but the two of them only saw Abe Haruaki.

"...? The white fox prince in the prophecy?"

Miozu also restrained her aura and looked at Abe Haruaki with a kind look. She was also a fox god, and her favorability towards foxes was always at the highest level unless the other party was an enemy or an evil spirit.

"Greetings, two great gods." Abe Haruaki first bowed and greeted Arakawa and Mitsu, then looked at Tamamonomae and asked with difficulty, "You are Tamamonomae, my..."

"Call me aunt or uncle, it's up to you." Tamamonomae's expression eased and she spoke gently.

"Then call me aunt, Auntie, are you here to destroy Kyoto?" Abe Haruaki asked seriously.

"Yes," Tamamonomae's expression, which had been softening, darkened again when he heard Abe Haruaki's question. "Your two younger brothers are also half-demons. They were brutally killed by despicable humans, even though they had never done anything evil. Your aunt, who served the gods devoutly, was also killed by the gods' thunder punishment. I must avenge them."

Abe Haruaki originally wanted to persuade Tamamonomae to change her decision to destroy Kyoto, but now he is speechless. Tamamonomae's wife and children have never done anything evil, but they were killed by gods and humans. Even if we ignore the relationship between them, he cannot say anything to make Tamamonomae give up.

"You know what? Qingming, you and Kuzuha look a lot like each other. I'm very happy. Seeing you is like seeing Kuzuha. She has always been proud of you, and I have always been proud of her."

Tamamonomae spoke softly, her words full of reminiscence and her eyes filled with deep longing. Anyone could see Tamamonomae's love and kindness for Abe Haruaki.

"Leave here, the farther the better. Go to the deepest part of Izumi, the Shinta Forest, and see your mother. Don't stay in Kyoto. I don't want to be your enemy... But if you insist on protecting Kyoto, I will never give up."

Tamamonomae's tone suddenly changed and became very firm, so firm that it was impossible to persuade her.

"Does it have to be like this?" Abe Haruaki asked in great embarrassment, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a mosquito to death. He would never give up defending Kyoto, even if he had to face Tamamonomae as an enemy.

"Actually, I came to Kyoto to see you a long time ago, and I already knew that you have always taken it as your responsibility to protect Kyoto. If I don't give up my hatred, you will definitely become my enemy. This should be the fate that Kuzuya said." Tamamonomae said with a sigh.

Abe Haruaki remained silent.

Kagura held Abe Haruaki's hand tightly, wanting to comfort him.

The eight hundred bhikkhunis had a calm expression. Things had come to this point and nothing could make her change her expression.

Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji looked solemn, as the one Tamamonomae gave them was too big.

The expressions of the heroic spirits remained unchanged, but they were extremely surprised in their hearts. They had never thought that Tamamonomae, who was killed by Abe Haruaki, had such a connection with Abe Haruaki.

At this time, Zhang Luo and his group, and Hei Qingming and his group also arrived one after another. Seeing the situation in front of them, they slowed down their pace and stood on both sides without making any sound, facing each other.

By this time.

Chapter 219 The Final Battle (Part 1)

The battle was about to break out, and Huang took real action. The starry realm was unfolded by him. With Huang as the starting point, the space within 500 meters in front, 50 meters behind, 500 meters on the left, and 500 meters on the right suddenly changed.

Everyone only felt a breeze blowing, and before their eyes, the world they were in had changed.

Before your eyes is a starry sky, with planets and nebulae of various colors in the seemingly boundless starry sky. This kind of beauty that strikes the soul makes people feel an indescribable sense of insignificance.

Under your feet is the vast and boundless ocean. Waves rise from time to time, allowing people to stand on the sea surface. However, the surging waves can pose a threat to people.

The expansion of the starry realm not only absorbed everyone like an inherent barrier, but also covered all the demons and monsters within the range.

However, ordinary monsters simply cannot survive in this divine realm. Once they enter Huang’s divine realm, they are crushed into ashes. No, there is not even ashes left. They dissipate under the suppression of divine power. Slightly stronger monsters are also knocked over by the waves and swallowed by the ocean. In the end, only these twenty or so people are still left in this divine realm.

Huang's figure stood above the sea, and under the shining starlight, he emitted a dazzling divine glory that made it impossible to look directly at it.

"Heavenly Punishment Moon!"

A cold and ruthless voice came out of Huang's mouth, and a full moon slowly appeared above Huang's head, as if a bright moon was rising from the sea. A chill swept across the starry sky with the light of the full moon, and a cold beam of moonlight shot from the full moon towards Tamamonomae.

"Falling to Heaven!"

At the same time that Huang used his divine power, Tamamonomae also erupted with incomparable and terrifying demonic power. Under the influence of this demonic power, the nine huge fox tails turned from real to virtual. The fox tails, which were pure and almost transparent, carried fox fire without temperature and entangled with each other, turning into a giant flaming dragon as majestic as a mountain range, and slammed into the light of the full moon.

The collision between the full moon and the fox tail triggered a series of progressive spiritual power riots. The starry sky was like a lake with a huge rock thrown into it, emitting waves. Countless stars fell from the starry sky in the confrontation between the two. As a result, huge waves rose from the sea, submerging the fallen stars. The power contained in the stars was absorbed by the ocean.

The divine realm, which had originally been making creaking and distorted noises and was unable to bear the heavy burden, became stable again under the rules of recycling.

While Ara and Tamamonomae were fighting, the battle on the sea also began.

On one side are Berserker Ibaraki, Assassin Shuten, Geibuhime, Kiyohime, Okita Souji, Ushiwakamaru, Miyamoto Musashi, Fuma Kotaro, Zhang Luo, Abe Haruaki, Kagura, Hakuzosu, Shuten Douji, Ibaraki Douji, and Mioenjin, a total of fifteen combat forces.

On one side are Black Seimei, Black Emperor, Black Phoenix, Ichimokuren, Two-Faced Buddha, Onimaru Kuninaga, Dojikiri Yasunaga, Arakawa Lord, and Daitengu, a total of nine combat forces.

Judging from the number of people, the battle was no longer a foregone conclusion. It should have been like this, and the battle would have ended with the victory of Bai Qingming's side.

However, on Bai Qingming's side, there are Abe Haruaki who lost his memory, Zhang Luo who has no extra magic power to fight, Kagura who knows nothing about the use of power, Kiyohime who cannot fight for a long time, Fuma Kotaro and Hakuzosu. The combat power of these six is ​​not at the top level. At best, they can defeat ordinary big monsters, but they are somewhat powerless against the peerless big monster that can be called a god.

Not to mention, Onimaru Kunitsuna and Dojikiri Yasunaga on Black Seimei's side have a natural restraint on the demon clan. If White Seimei's side cooperates well, with Ushiwakamaru's treasure, plus Zhuge Kongming's ability and wisdom, they may not be able to defeat Black Seimei's side.

However, the two demons, Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, have always been unruly. They only want to kill the two demon-slaying swords, Onimaru Kunitsuna and Doujikiri Yasunaga, in single combat. How could they obey Zhang Luo's command and cooperate with Ushiwakamaru's Noble Phantasm? Berserker Ibaraki and Assassin Shuten are sensible and know what to do best in this situation. However, without the two high-level combat forces, Ibaraki-douji and Shuten-douji, they can only barely maintain an invincible position at best. It is impossible for them to win.

At the same time, outside the starry sky, in Kyoto shrouded in darkness, another existence broke in.

The city gate was smashed by the huge snake's body, and the land was dragged into wide and deep gullies as the snake moved forward. The snake had no intention of taking a detour as it rushed forward. All the houses and buildings blocking the way were destroyed by the snake's body. The fish that hid in the narrow place and escaped from the hands of demons and monsters by chance also lost their lives under the indiscriminate attack of the snake.

There were seven giant snakes that broke into Kyoto. There should have been eight, but one was killed by a powerful monk from the Tiantai sect, so only seven were left.

"Thus have I heard. At one time the Buddha was residing in Rajgir, on Mount Gridhrakuta, with an assembly of twelve thousand great bhikkhus. All of them were arahants, having eliminated all defilements, free from all afflictions, attaining self-interest, having broken all fetters of existence, and attaining freedom of mind. Their names were: Āraṇa-Kāṇīna, Mahākasyapa, Uruvilvakasyapa, Gayakasyapa, Nadikasyapa, Sariputra, Mahamaudgalyayana..."

After the seven-headed snake, Suzumaru Tsuneji held the rosary in his hand, kept turning it, chanting Namo Myoho Renge Kyo, and walked into the darkness of Kyoto slowly but quickly.

Although he was clearly shrouded in darkness, with hideous bone spurs protruding from his body and his face looking evil because of the demonic energy, like a demon, there was a faint glow of Buddha's light on Suzumaru Tsuneji's body, giving people a sense of holiness.

The combination of evil and holiness seems particularly strange.

About half an incense stick's time passed, and eight more people arrived at the ruins of the city gate. They were Minamoto no Hiromasa, Ashiya Doman, Shingon monk Kukai, Yama Hall underworld official Ono Hideki, Tendai monk Saicho, monk Jyozo, monk Gensada, and alchemist Danchong.

"It's still a step too late." Master Kūkai stood on the ruins of the city gate, calculated with his hands, and sighed, saying that the resurrection of the Yamata no Orochi was inevitable.

"Hmph! So what if I'm a step late? Since my Tiantai Sect can eliminate one head of the Yamata-no-Orochi, we can eliminate the remaining seven." Master Saicho arrived and heard Master Kukai's sigh. He strongly opposed Master Kukai.

Master Jingzo and Master Genzo, who were following behind Master Saicho, bowed to Master Kukai. They did not feel anything strange about Master Saicho's attitude, as they were already used to it.

"Let's go find Kamo Tadayuki first. He's trapped and probably can't even get out now." Ashiya Doman suggested with a hint of ridicule in his words.

"Okay." Fang Shidan Chong responded straightforwardly. Regardless of He Mao Zhongxing's ability, he and He Mao Zhongxing were good friends, so naturally he had to help He Mao Zhongxing.

"Lord Yama has ordered me to go to Suzaku Gate to support the great god Takatenhara, so I'm going first." Ono Takashi secretly received Yama's order and said goodbye to several people.

"I also have to go find Qingming and the others first. It seems that they are already at Suzaku Gate." Minamoto no Boya was the second to say goodbye.

It didn't take too many people to rescue Kamo Tadayuki, so the eight people split into two teams and left the ruins of the city gate.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Minamoto no Raikou, the Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou, and various Onmyojis were guarding outside a palace, vigilantly watching the movements in all directions, protecting the safety of the nobles and royal family in the palace behind them.

Suddenly, a huge roar was heard, which made everyone nervous. All weapons and talismans were raised up, ready to be activated for attack at any time.

Immediately afterwards, a desperate thing happened. A seven-headed giant snake emerged from the darkness, carrying earth-shaking demonic power and rushing towards the palace swiftly.

Although the seven-headed snake was far inferior to the Yamata-no-Orochi, it was still not something that these ten or so great Onmyoji could resist. Their defenses were broken in just one encounter. The great Onmyoji, who were fully capable of destroying an entire small country, were killed or injured. The palace behind them was crushed by the huge body of the snake. No intact place could be found in the magnificent palace, not to mention the nobles and royal family inside, who had no chance of survival.

The seven-headed snake walked over the corpses in the palace without a care and crashed into the palace dedicated to Amaterasu. Suddenly, a big sun rose from the palace, and endless solar light illuminated the entire Kyoto. Most of the yin energy in Kyoto disappeared under the sunlight, and the darkness covering Kyoto quickly dissipated, and the starry sky reappeared in the sky above Kyoto.

It was as if the skin was being peeled, the flesh was being dug out, and the bones were being removed by countless sharp swords. The painful screams came from the palace filled with golden light, resounding through the sky and making people shudder.

That was Amaterasu's final counterattack, and the two giant snakes disappeared.

But that’s all.

"Hahahahahahaha!!!"

The seal was broken, and like a volcanic eruption, ominous demonic energy emerged from under the palace. The dark demonic power was as endless as the ocean, gushing out from the ground. The golden light disappeared, and the bright sun was polluted by the demonic power. The sunlight disappeared from Kyoto, and Kyoto was once again covered by darkness. The ground cracked, and something was about to come out from below.

"I'm out again!"

A monster with five heads and five tails, eyes as red as "physalis", moss and trees growing on its back, a festering abdomen bleeding, and a body as huge as eight mountains and eight valleys has returned to the world.

"The remnants of the Tianjin God! I, Yamata no Orochi, am back!"

With only five heads and five tails left, the Yamata-no-Orochi let out an earth-shaking roar. The sound contained endless demonic power and made the yin energy covering Kyoto roll violently like boiling water. The raging demonic power swept across the world in all directions like a storm. For a moment, most of Japan fell into deep fear.

-

The realm of stars.

After Ibaraki Douji and Shuten Douji suffered heavy losses at the hands of Onimaru Kuninaga and Doujikiri Yasunaga, they finally began to cooperate with Zhang Luo's command. The perfect coordination of the Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers and the Jana Wang Ryulitan increased the combat effectiveness of Bai Qingming's side by nearly two times, and the situation began to change.

The first to be defeated were the blackened Thunder Emperor and Phoenix, followed by the two Tsukumogami, Onimaru Kuninaga and Doujikiri Yasunaga. Then, the Lord of Arakawa and the Two-Faced Buddha were also defeated one after another. In the end, when only Kuroseime, Daitengu, and Ichimokuren were left, Abe Haruaki wanted to say something to Kuroseime when a drastic change occurred.

Tamamonomae and Huang launched their strongest attacks almost at the same time and in tacit understanding.

There are no fancy moves, just the most basic use of energy, which is also the most common method of attack.

All the power was released from the full moon and fox tail, and the red light column and the moon-white light column rushed towards the target at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

"boom……!"

The moment the two spiritual power cannons collided, the extremely stable starry realm produced a violent vibration. The strong space shock made the starry realm unable to withstand it. Several cracks appeared in the starry sky and quickly spread in all directions along the exploding spiritual power fluctuations, spreading like a spider web.

"Oh no! Everyone be careful! Five Elements Barrier Array!"

Seeing the situation in front of him, Abe Haruaki's face suddenly changed. Without saying anything to Kuro Haruaki, he launched a defensive spell.

"I'll protect you all!"

Kagura threw out the umbrella, which spun and flew over everyone's heads, casting an umbrella-shaped light curtain from it.

Black Seimei and Da

Chapter 216: The Final Battle (Part 2)

The collapse of the Star Realm forced Zhang Luo and his group to return to Kyoto. Tamamonomae and Huang were seriously injured due to the backlash of the spiritual power explosion. Daitengu, Kuroseki and Ichimuren fell into a deep coma.

Only Zhang Luo, Abe Haruaki, and others were able to remain intact under the protection of Princess Xingbu's Noble Phantasm. This was the first time Princess Xingbu had fully unleashed her Noble Phantasm, and the power it unleashed was also satisfying.

After Tamamonomae and Huang left the starry realm, they first spat out a mouthful of blood, and then their faces changed from happy to sad. These completely opposite expressions were both caused by the huge monster that appeared a hundred meters away.

At the same time, Zhang Luo and others also noticed the Yamata-no-Orochi that could not be ignored. Xingbu Ji's body softened and she fell on Zhang Luo. Bai Zangzhu trembled on the ground, not daring to move. The Yamata-no-Orochi's control over monsters is much stronger than its control over humans. If a war breaks out, it would be best if they don't cause trouble, let alone ask the two of them for help.

"that is……"

Zhang Luo barely managed to stand firm, hugged Xingbu Ji's body, and spoke with difficulty.

"Yamata no Orochi!"

The eight hundred bhikkhunis looked pale, but their tone was extremely certain.

"Why are there only five heads?" Kagura asked in confusion. For some reason, when everyone was under extremely heavy pressure, Kagura did not feel any difficulty.

Zhang Luo, Abe no Haruaki, and Yaobikuni were also extremely confused. Didn't the Yamata no Orochi have eight heads? Why only five? Could it be that the resurrection was not completely successful?

"Because one of the heads was destroyed by the Tendai sect's Master Saicho." At this time, Minamoto no Hiroya's voice came from behind. Abe Haruaki turned around in surprise, only to see Minamoto no Hiroya walking quickly with a firm expression, despite the evil power of the Yamata no Orochi.

"Boya, you're back!" Abe Haruaki shouted in surprise and joy.

"How could I not come back at a time like this?" Minamoto no Hiroya forced a smile, walked towards Abe no Haruaki, and asked Kagura with concern, "Kagura, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, thank you Boya." Kagura said.

"Where are the other two heads?" Zhang Luo interrupted the three people who were reminiscing about the past and asked anxiously. Now was not the time to reminisce about the past. The Yamata-no-Orochi was right in front of them, and a life-and-death battle was about to begin at any time.

"The remaining two heads should have been destroyed by Amaterasu's final counterattack. The sun rose from Kyoto before, but it disappeared very quickly." said Ono Hiro, who followed Minamoto no Boya.

"Who is this gentleman?" Abe Haruaki looked at Ono Takeru in official attire and greeted him in surprise.

"I am Ono Hideki, the underworld official of the Yama Hall." Ono Hideki nodded to Abe Haruaki and said lightly.

"Yama Hall? You're from the underworld? Why didn't Lord Yama and the black and white ghost messengers come?"

When Abe Haruaki heard Ono Tsune claiming to be the underworld official, he quickly asked about the doubts in his heart. Such a thing happened in Kyoto, and the Yin-Yang reversal technique was set up. The underworld could not be unaware of it. But even the god named Huang and the god named Yuzhongjin had come, but there was still no movement in the underworld. How could he not be confused?

"The underworld is in turmoil, and Lord Yama is needed to take charge. He can only send me out to help." Ono Takashi replied.

At this time, the huge body of the Yamata no Orochi began to move. Although it was as huge as a mountain, it was surprisingly flexible. In the blink of an eye, its body turned towards the direction of Suzaku Gate. Ten huge scarlet eyes stared down at everyone, casting a heavy shadow on everyone.

"Susanoo? Tsukuyomi? Hahahaha... How interesting! The despicable guy who used poisoned wine to frame me in the past has turned into such a twisted appearance." Yamata-no-Orochi laughed softly, and his mocking laughter resounded throughout Kyoto. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Huang was composed of the fusion of the residual souls of Susanoo and Tsukuyomi.

"Yamata no Orochi? If so, I should call you Gomata no Orochi." Although Huang was unable to refute, he fought back unwillingly.

"Want to provoke me? I didn't expect that you already hate this life that you have obtained by living in a cowardly way." Yamata no Orochi's voice was loud and no emotion could be heard, but the murderous intent in his eyes shot towards Huang like a sharp blade, without any concealment.

The enormous demonic power pressed towards everyone with a purpose. Yuzhong Jin's face turned pale. Gods and demons are mutually reinforcing and restraining. As a god, she was severely restrained by the Yamata no Orochi.

Huang silently swallowed the blood that was about to burst out of his throat, and calmly calmed the shaking divine power in his body, without showing any weakness in front of the Yamata no Orochi.
