In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

These words finally made Ibuki Doji stop moving for the umpteenth time. She stared at Lu Kang in front of her as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"Yu Zhang, you..."

Abe no Seimei was equally astonished.

And Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

They watched as an invisible phantom slowly rose from Lu Kang's body. It was a 'phenomenon' manifested by some invisible concept he carried. It was a mountain, an extremely high mountain with an arched center—the Undying Mountain from which he had come. It was said to have a path to the heavens.

He really was going to Takamagahara, located in the Sea of ​​Stars.

Head to the realm of the gods.

This was his real reason for going to the Mountain of Immortality.

That's why he forcibly subdued the 'Red Dragon Mountain God'!

At this moment, he merged the mystery of the Crimson Dragon Mountain God with the Kikyo Seal, gaining its power as the Mountain God of the Undying Mountain, acquiring a corner of the concept of the Undying Mountain, and obtaining the 'path' to the Heavenly Realm.

The phantom of the Immortal Mountain collided with the 'moon' high in the sky.

The 'road' here connects to the 'door'.

The path to the 'Celestial Realm' has been opened.

Although it is not the original body.

but.

You will use all the concentrated spirit of your thoughts, the spirit of the prime minister, to guide us to the "Gate of Heaven".

You will allow your thoughts to reach the heavens.

You will use this to draw the thoughts of the 'gods'.

Humans, demons, ghosts, monsters, and spirits.

Before this, you had already gathered a great deal of information.

Your path to becoming a phantom is just one final step away from transformation from reality to illusion.

[A step towards gathering the thoughts of the 'gods']

It rises and then falls again.

Everything happened in an instant.

The moonlight was bright just moments before, but dimmed just moments afterward.

Thoughts only operate for a fleeting moment.

Going in and coming out takes only a moment.

Lu Kang closed his eyes and then opened them again.

Looking at the stunned Ibuki-dōji, he simply smiled and said, "The door has already been used."

"Orochi, it can't get through."

"!?"

Chapter 132 Instantaneous Unique Boundary, The Final Piece of the Puzzle, The Yin-Yang String

Clearly, Lu Kang was taking advantage of the split spirit of the Yamata no Orochi and the actions of Ibuki-dōji.

Over the past few years, although his 'Phantom Spirit' path has been continuously improving, it has only increased in quantity. Whether it is evil spirits or good spirits, or the 'Prime Minister Spirit' formed by condensation, there has only been progress in accumulation, but no substantial breakthrough.

Even if he had gathered the thoughts of scholars and the thoughts of the world.

Even though he had gathered all the thoughts of demons.

But it was still one step short.

Simply increasing the quantity is clearly not enough.

Perhaps, we need to seek a more advanced 'qualitative change'.

In this world, the only beings more advanced than humans, ghosts, demons, and monsters are the 'spirits' who manifest planetary phenomena, and even the 'gods' who are the source of planetary phenomena.

In this era, due to the existence of the 'Curse Spirit System', 'Elves' are rarely seen, while 'Gods' are more readily traceable.

Because the spirit system allows people to communicate with vanished deities.

Since communication is possible, there must exist 'channels' for truly connecting with them, or even for genuinely interacting with them.

Direct contact is not necessary; simply aligning our thoughts is sufficient.

That's enough for him to gather the thoughts of all the gods.

Take the final step towards a qualitative change!

This was an idea Lu Kang had before.

It was a plan he had already thought about and drafted beforehand.

He sought a way to reach the 'realm of gods' and the possibility of entering the inner sea of ​​the star through 'thought'.

He wanted to piece together the last fragments of his thoughts and turn falsehood into truth.

Although such a plan has not been finalized or actually implemented, the news of Orochi's revival brought by Minamoto no Yorimitsu suddenly stirred something within him.

He saw through the anomaly.

He also thought that Orochi's revival was most likely the return of its original form.

If it's just a simple matter of splitting the spirit, then there's no need for such trouble, nor is it necessary.

If it were simply a matter of downgrading the display, there would be no need for such a elaborate process.

He knew that Orochi most likely possessed a path back to the source.

That's why I left on my own initiative, luring the snake out of its hole.

That's why Mount Fuji is now visible.

The platycodon root condenses.

...

Thoughts connect with the heavens.

Watch God with one thought.

Shinto scroll, feathered scroll

...

[And in the back and forth of these thoughts, you also sensed the inadequacy of the path of return that Yamata no Orochi possessed.]

This is a 'one-way channel'.

Only one round trip is allowed.

[A single exchange]

In other words.

'Yamata no' will ever return!

After all her efforts, she ended up benefiting others. In the instant the full moon in the sky dimmed, Ibuki-dōji could no longer suppress her anger and erupted in fury!

The extremely high concentration of 'spiritual power' originating from the mythological era—also known in the West as 'true ether'—replaced the previous power and erupted forth. The enraged divine spirit finally revealed its most terrifying and powerful form—its tail continuously expanded and spread out like a raging inferno. Before this, its legs extended from the junction of its human body and snake, landing gracefully and supporting a full, rounded buttock, like a python growing legs and about to transform into a dragon. As a deity, Orochi was naturally superior to ordinary dragons, but for her, the growth of hind legs was still a transformation, a manifestation of a more powerful form.

The instant her feet touched the ground, she took a step forward, dragged by her ever-expanding snake tail, and with her long, spiky blue hair swung wildly like a snake, she pressed down on Lu Kang and smashed the long sword in her hand at 'Sugawara no Hajime'!

Boom!

Lu Kang stepped back, his long sleeves fluttering. He didn't rush to make a move but instead restrained the 'Thoughts of the Gods' he had just gained. Dark purple lightning brushed past him, and in the midst of the crackling, Minamoto no Yorimitsu's longsword sliced ​​through the air and collided with Ibuki-dōji once again.

But we were no match for them just now.

Now she was even more vulnerable, unable to even hold back for a second... Her armor shattered, revealing a healthy and full figure. The woman with long purple hair released her divine essence, advancing instead of retreating, unleashing even finer lightning. Where she swung her long sword, bull heads materialized into 'phenomena' and charged forward!

"The bull's head summons the net of heaven, and the net of heaven is inescapable!"

This is the true power originating from the Ox-Headed Heavenly King, an ability belonging to the category of 'power'.

Furthermore, his agile physique is enhanced by his boundless martial arts training, which surpasses Watanabe no Tsuna's level and reaches the realm of gods.

This caught Ibuki-doji completely off guard and blocked his path.

It stopped me for a moment.

One breath.

A moment later, Ibuki-dōji smiled – he gripped the divine sword tightly with one hand, infused it with 'spiritual power', and chanted the true name of the divine weapon.

With a deafening roar, a massive slash erupted from the sword, splitting into eight sharp beams. Minamoto no Yorimitsu managed to block only two of them before being repelled once more.

Even lightning was torn apart.

Even divine-level martial arts cannot withstand it.

The remaining six sharp edges were aimed even more directly at Lu Kang.

The shattered Yin-Yang Bureau had long been leveled by the turbulent impact, and the palace gates, which were just inches away, showed cracks in the fierce collision. Lu Kang raised his eyebrows amidst the ravines. He had digested the thoughts of the gods in the short time that Minamoto no Yorimitsu had given him, and he was faster than Abe no Seimei, who instinctively wanted to step forward to make a move. He rose up with a flick of his sleeve, but he did not chant any incantations or weave any 'techniques' to transform the mystery.

Instead, they touched each other with their hands.

With five fingers, he disintegrated the six 'sword lights'.

He then clashed his palm against the sword in Ibuki-dōji's hand.

"Um--!?"

Her figure paused slightly, her longsword paused slightly, and Ibuki-dōji's rage was abruptly replaced by surprise. Although not her true form, as a branch of Yamata no Orochi, the divine weapon she wielded was the genuine 'Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi', which originated from Yamata no Orochi. This divine weapon was extremely powerful, and although she could not fully unleash its power in her hands, the eight sharp edges that she slashed out with a single strike would be enough to cleave eight mountain peaks if placed among mountains.

She wasn't surprised that Minamoto no Yorimitsu could block two attacks.

The spirit of the Ox-Headed Heavenly King has this ability.

If Lu Kang could stop the remaining six, she would be surprised, but not too surprised.

But just so.

Lu Kang did more than just stop them.

Still with flesh and blood.

Touch each other with your fingers and palms!

The "Hand of God" manifested by the combination of the "Body of God" and the "Soul of God".

This was also the first time Lu Kang had displayed that 'mystery' from later generations in this era.

of course.

They touched each other, but only for a fleeting moment.

Although Lu Kang's physical attributes are extremely high, comparable to those of a god, they are still insufficient to withstand a divine artifact for an extended period of time, and as a magician and sorcerer, he would certainly not do so.

But only after the moment of obstruction.

He withdrew his hand and turned away.

Weaving techniques drive the 'mystery'.

Using 'True Aether'—divine power originating from the gods—to wield the highest level of magic.

Demonstrating the gains of thought—

"The Evil Spirit of the Left Palace!"

After digesting the thoughts of the gods, he gathered more of the spirit of the Grand Preceptor to accelerate the reduction of his mental limitations.

'Instant' Reality Marble!

The so-called "natural boundary" is essentially a high-level magic that manifests one's own mental landscape, replaces it with the world, and "deceives," "confronts," and "erodes" the world itself. It is related to mental landscape and even more so to thought.

Theoretically speaking, even Lu Kang's mental powers and magic could not achieve such a level of mystery instantly.

However, the speed of thought can actually accelerate its unfolding.

After gathering the thoughts of the gods, he condensed even more and stronger spirits of prime ministers, making it no longer a problem to instantly create a unique barrier.

In a rush.
