“Originally, Ye Bai had not completely refined the Yamata no Orochi, and even allowed a fragment of the spirit of Tsukuyomi to hide within his body, which was now taking the opportunity to cause trouble…”
The phantom of Yamata no Orochi roared, radiating ancient primal ferocity, completely enveloping Tengshe.
Even Ye Bai’s face began to show another half, one crimson pupil turning into the color of Yuyan. Seeing this, Wu Ming immediately figured everything out.
“But of course… even the weakest Yamata no Orochi is an ancient giant demon, how could it be something Ye Bai could digest? Now his greed has brought immediate retribution!”
If Ye Bai had truly been able to digest Yamata no Orochi, he probably could have directly reached level five, but now?
In the blink of an eye, Wu Ming had seen through everything, then without hesitation rushed forward. Five-colored lightning flashed across his body, shifting from earth yellow to pure white, then from pure white to dark black, dark black to emerald green, finally forming a brilliant crimson red, crackling with lightning and displaying astonishing might!
“Five Elements Generation – Creation Divine Thunder!”
Using the power of the Five Elements to generate fire thunder, fire’s explosive nature made it the most powerful among all the Five Elements thunder techniques. Now enhanced by the Five Elements, its power increased several times, sweeping toward Tengshe’s head.
“Daring evil god, daring to covet my Tengshe’s essence blood, give me your life!”
Although only a fragment of Tsukuyomi’s spirit, it was calculating and ruthless. If it managed to seize everything, it could immediately achieve great power. Then, combining with the original, it could instantly change the power balance among the Three Noble Deities.
Once Susano-o retreated and the Mori clan achieved great victory, the Kunitsukami and Wu Ming would face a fate worse than death.
This was a matter of life and death, not to be overlooked!
Of course, Ye Bai was no good either, so Wu Ming’s thunder technique also targeted this person, aiming for the effect of killing two birds with one stone.
Under Tsukuyomi’s divine power, the original Samadhi Fire had extinguished, revealing Tengshe’s mangled body, its blackened scales falling off, appearing extremely pitiful.
More critically, the phantom of Yamata no Orochi transformed into threads of black qi, continuously seeping into Tengshe’s body.
Gulu! Gulu!
At the base of the serpent’s neck, numerous nodules surfaced, seemingly about to grow seven heads!
Zila!
The Fire Thunder swept across, instantly tearing through the divine barrier.
On Ye Bai’s face, the half belonging to Tsukuyomi furrowed its brows and raised a hand: “Yuyan!”
“Sssss!”
Tengshe roared, opening its blood-filled maw, spitting out the waters of Yuyan filled with death and decay.
Lightning swept across, thunder and fire raged, the astonishing destructive force even evaporating the waters of Yuyan, causing a flicker of alarm on Tsukuyomi’s face.
“Ye Bai, you’re truly useless! Since that’s the case, I’ll just take everything for myself!”
Wu Ming shouted loudly, causing Ye Bai’s face to show signs of struggle, deliberately doing so to awaken his resistance will.
“Sinner!”
The half of the face belonging to Tsukuyomi showed anger, pointing a finger forward. A mirror’s phantom appeared before it, shooting out electric threads, yet all were absorbed by the mirror, even reflecting back to annihilate each other.
“Yata Mirror?”
Legend had it that this divine artifact could reflect all attacks, being Tsukuyomi’s most formidable weapon.
Wu Ming was first startled, then noticing it was only a phantom, not the mirror’s original body, a cold sneer appeared on his face: “Just a fragment of a divine artifact? Give it to me… break!!”
Xiu!
The fortune above his head churned, a streak of light flew out, transforming into the shape of the Yasakani Magatama, suddenly colliding with the Yata Mirror.
Ka-cha!
A crack appeared, then quickly spread like a tortoise shell.
“Susanoo!!!”
Amidst Tsukuyomi’s furious roar, the Yata Mirror emitted an extremely crisp sound, then shattered with a thunderous crash.
“Five Thunder Righteous Technique, Swift!”
Immediately, golden, wooden, aquatic, fiery, and earthen thunderbolts appeared on Wu Ming’s palm, forming a mighty thunderclap, each finger wrapped in a different elemental thunder. The five-colored great hand swept down, imprinting on Ye Bai’s face, the half belonging to Tsukuyomi.
The lightning flashed, Ye Bai’s body trembled, then half his face began to dissolve.
“Hahaha… Kuiichi Hagan! I must thank you too!”
Half of Ye Bai’s face had vanished, yet he still laughed loudly, the scene not only horrifying but terrifying: “Thanks to you eliminating Tsukuyomi’s fragment, I can now fully control this Yamata no Orochi’s body! I am the chosen son of heaven’s mandate, how could I perish so easily? Hahaha…”
“The real body of you is still the Tengshe below, this is just a manifestation, no wonder you won’t die so easily!”
Wu Ming’s face showed realization: “Years of entanglement, and the struggle for the main deity, today it can all be settled!”
A pearl about an inch in size floated into existence, shimmering with white light.
Sssss!
Snake hissing came, sounding like a primordial beast, even causing Ye Bai’s face to show fear: “This is…”
Sssss!
The snake hissing grew stronger, suddenly, fierce winds surged, an astonishingly powerful aura emerging from the Suizhou Pearl, rising into the sky, forming a cyan snake head, its vertical pupils filled with primordial indifference and greed. That bloodline shock caused even Ye Bai’s transformed Tengshe and the Yamata no Orochi phantom behind to tremble involuntarily.
“Ba… Ba Snake!”
Ye Bai cried out in alarm.
“Correct… it’s indeed the residual soul of the Ba Snake! Although you obtained Tengshe’s essence blood, you only have a tiny bit. This, however, is the residual soul of the ancient great god Ba Snake.乖乖 become bait for it!”
Wu Ming laughed loudly, fiercely activating his power, the Ba Snake immediately opened its cyan mouth, its giant jaws seeming to swallow heaven and earth.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas – Inner Classic of the Sea, it is recorded: “In the southwest there is the Ba Kingdom, and also the Zhujuan Kingdom, there is a black snake, with a cyan head, which eats elephants.” Guo Pu’s commentary says: “This is the Ba Snake.” In the Classic of Mountains and Seas – Southern Classic of the Sea, it also states: “The Ba Snake eats elephants, three years later expelling the bones. A gentleman who consumes them will be free from heart and abdominal diseases. The snake is green, yellow, red, and black. Another says it is a black snake with a cyan head, west of the rhinoceros.”
Regardless of which account, they all indicate that the Ba Snake is an ancient great snake not inferior to the Tengshe, even surpassing it.
Even more crucially, this Ba Snake had an extraordinary origin—it was once sealed by the Eastern Peak Emperor!
Similarly a Ba Snake, this one clearly radiated terrifying might, even capable of severely injuring the previous incarnation of the Eastern Peak Emperor, surpassing the most basic Tengshe bloodline by countless times.
Back then, at the Eastern Peak Emperor’s ancestral home in Wuhui Valley, this residual soul of the Ba Snake retained its spiritual awareness, broke through the magical restrictions, and entered the Suizhou Pearl, seeking an opportunity for rebirth.
Wu Ming had secretly remained vigilant, and after becoming the National Preceptor, he immediately refined the Suizhou Pearl, erasing the residual soul’s will, leaving only pure spiritual essence, as a secret trump card against Ye Bai!
Now activated, the Ba Snake’s mouth seemed to swallow heaven and earth, an extremely powerful great technique!
The Classic of Mountains and Seas states: “The Ba Snake swallows elephants, three years later expelling the bones!”
The elephants of ancient times were not ordinary elephants, but giant elephants! Celestial elephants! Their backs could bear heaven and earth, their feet could become pillars of heaven, their trunks could grasp the sun and moon—the divine elephants of the primordial wilderness!!
Even such a divine beast of primordial wilderness was still swallowed in one bite by the Ba Snake, fully demonstrating the astonishing power of this technique!
Sssss!
Even the foot soldiers of the distant Yoshida Gakuenyama Castle could not help but stop fighting, mouths agape, watching the strange phenomenon appearing in the sky!
A terrifyingly huge snake with a black body and cyan head opened a mouth disproportionately large compared to its body, devouring in one bite a giant snake with eight heads and tails, and another giant snake enveloped in clouds and mist.
Huala!
Tengshe’s dozens-of-zhang-long body lifted into the air, swallowed together with the Yamata no Orochi phantom by the Ba Snake.
The phantom Ba Snake let out a satisfied hiss, then retreated back into the Suizhou Pearl.
“Thunder and fire!!!”
The Ba Snake’s heaven-swallowing and earth-devouring great technique already possessed extremely terrifying refining power, but Wu Ming was still not satisfied. A continuous stream of thunder and fire incantations were chanted, aiming to incinerate everything sealed within the Ba Snake’s belly with true fire!
The fire was Samadhi Fire! The thunder was Creation Divine Thunder!
Even in the outside world, Ye Bai would struggle to survive such an onslaught, let alone now, having lost his home advantage and being sealed within the Suizhou Pearl?
“Spare me… spare me please! Lord Kuiichi Hagan! I can swear eternal allegiance to you!”
The Suizhou Pearl’s radiance kept shifting, revealing several giant snakes and a small phantom within, all slowly disintegrating in thunder and fire, a thin voice coming out.
“Are you out of your mind? Ever since the mission began, there was never any possibility of reconciliation between us!”
With the incantations continuing, the Suizhou Pearl’s radiance grew increasingly intense, displaying within an image of the heaven-reaching Ba Snake, and the Yamata no Orochi and Tengshe within its belly continuously being refined by thunder and fire.
“This Suizhou Pearl originally had a snake nature, and after being refined by me into unity with the Ba Snake’s residual soul, it has gained a bit of the ability of the universe within a mustard seed to swallow heaven and earth. Ye Bai, if you can still escape this time, I’ll truly admire you!”
Zila!
The first to be unable to endure was the phantom of Yamata no Orochi. After a thunder and fire strike, it exploded into threads of blackness, dissipating into the Ba Snake’s belly.
Once Yamata no Orochi was destroyed, all the power focused onto Tengshe.
The Tengshe cried out in agony, its body continuously shrinking, finally transforming into Ye Bai’s shape, its scales emerging, then blackening and falling off, a truly pitiful sight.
“Kuiichi Hagan! I curse you! I’ll curse you even in death!”
At this moment, Ye Bai’s blood-red eyes seemed to regain a bit of clarity. After pulling out several magical treasures in succession, finding them all helpless, and even his hands and feet beginning to slowly melt, his face showed intense hatred.
For this kind of person, Wu Ming had already grown tired of speaking, directly increasing his magical power, burning with true fire!
Peng!
Who knows how long passed, the Suizhou Pearl trembled, the head of Ye Bai within the Ba Snake’s belly also vanished. The Ba Snake joyfully swam about, the pearl’s color becoming increasingly crystal clear and transparent.
“All these miscellaneous things mixed in… might as well refine this thread of the Ba Snake’s ferocity as well!”
Wu Ming did not stop, directly increasing his magical power. Moments later, the Ba Snake’s phantom also exploded, scattering into threads that were burned away by thunder and fire.
[Ding! Main mission completed!]
Only at this point did the grand prompt sound of the Main Temple echo.
