An evil aura approached from the northern sky, the shadows growing ever larger, and those within the shrouded area felt a terrifying chill.
"It's Yamata no Orochi!"
The Evolver on Sakura Island screamed in terror.
Evolver who had witnessed the Yamata no Orochi causing disaster in their land trembled with fear; if their legs hadn't been weak, they would have wanted to run far away.
"Caw caw caw... Humble and weak ants, welcome the great being!"
Looking at the creator within the black mist, Xiao Tian was speechless. He hadn't expected the Yamata no Orochi to be so childish.
"You lowly ant! Quickly hand over the sword in your hand to the great one!"
At the Bodhi Group, Jiang Zhexian frowned deeply. The power of this Yamata no Orochi was truly terrifying; it was probably among the best at the Visualization Realm.
"Ancestor, can we handle this guy?"
Behind Jiang Zhexian stood an elderly man in white robes with his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
"Can be destroyed with a flick of the finger."
Upon hearing Jiang Zhexian was shocked and guessed that the ancestor was probably at a level above the Visualization Realm.
"I wonder if Xiao Tian can handle it."
"Ancestor, if Xiao Tian is no match for him, could you offer assistance?"
"Alright." The old man in white opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling like a galaxy, meteorites falling, and strange light shimmering. He glanced at Xiao Tian, then closed his eyes again.
He could tell that Xiao Tian was a Peak Visualization Realm Evolver, capable of protecting himself even against the Yamata no Orochi.
However, the Yamata no Orochi inherited ancient bloodlines and seemed to be injured, so its true cultivation level was not that high.
It concerns the future of the Dragon Kingdom's human race; if necessary, he would take action even if Jiang Zhexian didn't say so.
The Yamata no Orochi revealed most of its body in the black mist of the sky, its two vertical eyes, like those of a lighthouse, filled with coldness and violence.
"You lowly ant! Don't try to test my patience!"
Below, the Evolver were horrified!
"What a terrifying creature! Its size is comparable to a mountain!"
"The Yamata no Orochi of Sakura Island is said to have lived for a very, very long time, existing tens of thousands of years ago, and has been sealed away ever since. Its true power is even more terrifying!"
"If that brat doesn't hand over the Sword in the Stone, he's doomed. I know the terror of the Yamata no Orochi well! It broke free of its seal and appeared in that dormant volcano in Shennai County. It had eight terrifying and ferocious heads, one of which spewed out icy breath, Ice Seal the entire Shennai County and the dormant volcano. Afterwards, it rampaged through our country, absorbing blood essence in an attempt to restore its cultivation..."
"Perhaps this Yamata no Orochi has already transcended the realm of the Visualization Realm!"
Seeing that Yamata no Orochi Xiao Tian below remained unmoved and repeatedly ignored its commands, two more of the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi emerged from the black mist.
"You lowly ant! My patience has run out! You may die!"
boom!
The heavens and earth trembled, Yamata no Orochi Orochi's black, scale-covered head suddenly spewed forth a dark breath, as enormous as a pillar of light.
"Not good! Get out of the way! This is a highly poisonous breath, and it also contains a cursed negative power! Once you are touched by its aura, your flesh will be corroded, your spirit will decay, and in severe cases, you will die!"
In an instant, chaos erupted.
Xiao Tian, who was directly in the center of the dark breath, seemed to have no time to react before being hit!
Jiang Zhexian's heart tightened.
"Ancestor."
"This kid is too arrogant. Even if I make a move now, it's too late. What a pity."
The old man in white Yitan inwardly. He was very disappointed in Xiao Tian; Xiao Tian's arrogance was far too foolish.
The power of the Yamata no Orochi is such that even someone like him, who Dao Entry Realm, must be treated with caution.
"We're doomed! That kid's dead!" A Evolver from Sakura Island turned his head and looked over, his expression filled with fear.
"Being directly hit by a highly venomous breath—the energy fluctuations are likely beyond the realm of the Visualization Realm!"
"How terrifying! The subterranean fire is amplifying the power of the deadly curse!"
Three breaths later, the beam of light caused by the highly poisonous breath gradually disappeared, leaving behind a foul-smelling, acrid smoke.
The Evolver looked at the large crater that had appeared, their expressions varying.
"It seems to be dead; I can't sense any life force anymore."
"Hey, I thought they could hold out for a while longer, but they died so quickly. Is this all the Evolver in the Dragon Country are capable of?" The Evolver from Sakura Island mocked in slightly fluent Dragon language.
" The Evolver of the Dragon Country are nothing special." Even an Evolver from a small, destroyed country couldn't help but laugh.
The Dragon Country's Evolver was immediately enraged and joined the verbal battle, even threatening to fight at any moment.
Where's the sword?
The Yamata no Orochi echoed in the sky.
"No way! The Sword in the Stone has been destroyed too?" Evolver exclaimed in surprise.
"Nonsense! That's King Arthur's Sword in the Stone! It's a divine artifact, how could it possibly be destroyed!"
"Hehehe... The Sword in the Stone isn't a true divine artifact, at most a pseudo-divine artifact. Its poisonous breath was so terrifying, and its corrosive acidity was extremely strong, so it's normal for it to be destroyed."
"Fuck you! You Dragon Country, shut up! What do you know!"
"What? You want to fight? I'm not afraid of barbarians like you!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out, attracting the attention of many Evolver.
"You lowly ant! How is this possible! You're still alive!"
The Yamata no Orochi was surprised to see Xiao Tian appear at the edge of the pit, his clothes intact and his body clean and tidy.
Looking for a sword? Are you sure you want a sword?
Xiao Tian's face was beaming with a kind smile, Sword in the Stone swung in his hand, creating several beautiful sword flowers.
"Damn it! You lowly ant! You're provoking me!"
"Oh, you really want the sword? Fine, I'll give it to you."
Xiao Tian raised the Sword in the Stone, and with a sudden twist of his arm, he gathered his strength and with a whoosh, it transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the black mist in the sky.
Before the Evolver present could react, before they could even utter the words "What a fast sword!", a painful howl resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Dark blue blood poured down from the sky, covering an area of a hundred meters like rain. One of the Yamata no Orochi's purple heads bore a very obvious sword wound, caused by the Sword in the Stone.
"Oh my god! Yamata no Orochi is injured!"
"Holy crap! That sword strike was too powerful! Could it be that that lord has already reached the Dao Entry Realm?"
The Evolver from Sakura Island, Gaoluo Country, and Ancestor Monkey Country were all dumbfounded.
The Evolver from the Dragon Country, shocked, couldn't help but start mocking the foreigners.
"What Yamata no Orochi? Our Dragon Country's Evolver could wound it with a single sword strike! Is that all?"
The Evolver from the Sakura was furious and kept spewing out vulgarities in his native language.
"These barbarians only speak bird language, haha."
Jiang Zhexian looked at the injured Yamata no Orochi in the sky, her heart filled with shock, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn to Xiao Tian.
"Ancestor, is Xiao Tian at the Dao Entry Realm?"
The old man in white robes looked solemn. He had to admit that he had underestimated the city lord of Luo Cheng.
Even he, a powerful being at the Dao Entry Realm, had not sensed how Xiao Tian had dodged the Yamata no Orochi's venomous breath.
Xiao Tian's sword strike was astonishing; even he felt it was difficult to withstand.
"A formidable young man! No wonder he's a successor of the Jade Void Palace!"
"This Banished Immortal is someone I should get to know better."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhexian's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light, understanding the meaning behind the ancestor's words, and she was deeply shocked.
Dao Entry Realm! Xiao Tian has actually reached this realm! This is simply too monstrous!
A few days ago, she learned a secret: Lin Miaoxian, who had received an ancient inheritance, had only just entered the Dao Entry Realm.
"The ancestor said that Lin Miaoxian's inheritance is the most terrifying and ancient inheritance on the entire planet. One day, she will surely leave the starry sky and travel the universe. Could it be that Xiao Tian has also obtained an inheritance that is no less ancient than this?"
Jiang Zhexian's mind stirred. He knew that although the Jade Void Palace's heritage was vast, it was still inferior to Lin Miaoxian's ancient heritage. In fact, his family also possessed a heritage that was no less ancient than the Jade Void Palace's.
The white-robed elder sensed Jiang Zhexian's emotional fluctuations and transmitted his voice. " Banished Immortal, Xiao Tian is indeed extraordinary, but once you reach the Dao Entry Realm and successfully activate my clan's inheritance, you will undoubtedly be no weaker than him in the future."
"Um."
In the sky, the Yamata no Orochi, shrouded in black mist, was enraged; it had been injured!
For so many years! It hasn't experienced the feeling of being injured!
Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years?
roar!
Within the black mist, all eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi were revealed, each representing a terrifying power: gold, green, blue, red, yellow, black, white, and purple.
Yamata no Orochi (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) as well as darkness, light, and lightning.
A rainbow halo appeared in the sky, its dreamlike colors intertwining like a scroll unfurling. The black mist was dispelled, and the enormous size of the Yamata no Orochi was awe-inspiring and terrifying.
"Run! The Yamata no Orochi is truly enraged! All eight heads are attacking simultaneously, and it looks like it's using a combination attack. Even if that guy is at the Dao Entry Realm, he probably won't escape death!"
"What a terrifying aura! Is this the power of the Yamata no Orochi?! It's terrifying!" Feeling the earth tremble and the sky seem to be distorting, the strange and terrifying energy emitted a special Domain that made the Evolver' hair stand on end, and their internal power was somewhat restricted.
"You lowly ant! Die!"
The eight eyes of the Yamata no Orochi were filled with anger, coldness, and violence. Eight streams of energy breath erupted simultaneously, converging into a rainbow beam of light with a radius of ten meters that descended from the sky.
boom!
The earth was bombarded, and the shockwave that erupted in a circular pattern swept over the Evolver Evolver. Even those who were powerful enough to be at the Visualization Realm were severely injured, while the weak were reduced to ashes.
"Horrible!"
Jiang Zhexian was filled with trepidation, looking anxiously at the direction swallowed by the rainbow beam of light, wondering how Xiao Tian was doing.
"Ancestor, is Yamata no Orochi's move at the Dao Entry Realm level?"
"Indeed, even I would find it troublesome to deal with. That kid is so arrogant, and to treat him like this, it seems he's hiding something," the white-robed elder said with alarm.
"Holy crap! What's going on?!"
Zhou Quan, who had killed the demon of Gaoluo Country, returned. When he saw the enormous monster in the sky, he recognized it at a glance. When he saw the thick, terrifying rainbow beam of light, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"This Yamata no Orochi is so strong, it seems we can only let Brother Tian take action. I wonder which unlucky guy got blasted."
Zhou Quan returned to Kabuta and immediately inquired about the situation there.
Kabuta calmly explained, "The one who was blasted was Lord Xiao Tian."
Damn! I knew it!
Zhou Quan frowned, watching the rainbow beam of light persist for a long time. That terrifying energy—if it were him, he probably would have perished there.
Half a minute later, the rainbow beam of light finally dissipated. The Yamata no Orochi in the sky was exhausted. Smoke was coming out of its mouth and mist was coming out of its nostrils. It seemed that the internal heat had accumulated due to the long release of its ultimate move and it was dissipating the heat.
"You lowly ant, let's see if you'll still live this time!"
Yamata no Orochi sneered inwardly, furious. If he hadn't been sealed away for so long and his strength hadn't recovered, how could he have been provoked by such a villain?
"You mudfish with an octopus head, is that all you've got?"
While many Evolver believed that Xiao Tian was doomed this time, a frivolous voice echoed between heaven and earth, neither too loud nor too soft.
"No way! He's still alive!"
The Evolver in the Sakura stared in disbelief at Xiao Tian, who appeared in the low sky, spotless and immaculate, and couldn't help but tremble.
"So powerful! This is the great power of our Dragon Country!" Some of the Evolver from the Dragon Country breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with smiles, and they couldn't help but start to mock the foreigners.
"Impossible! How can you be completely unharmed! You clearly hit me!"
The Yamata no Orochi no Orochi was shocked. Its breath energy had its own senses, and it clearly sensed that this ant had been hit and reduced to ashes. Because of this, it continued to release energy for an extra ten seconds.
Deep within the Flaming Mountains, a strange sound emanated, shaking heaven and earth. It seemed as if immortals and Buddhas were murmuring, and gods and demons were roaring.
A wondrous treasure is about to be born!
" Octopus Loach, I'm not playing with you anymore."
The eight eyes of the Yamata no Orochi were filled with rage. Had it all been a game all along? What kind of monster was this?!
" Octopus Loach, become my mode of transportation, or die."
The Yamata no Orochi was so angry it laughed. It was a magnificent ancient species that had lived for countless years.
"You lowly ant, you have truly angered me! This time, even if it damages my very essence, I will grind you to dust!"
The Yamata no Orochi gritted its teeth, its hatred for Xiao Tian fierce.
Xiao Tian had no intention of continuing the game. Some mysterious figures had already arrived around the Flaming Mountains, a rare treasure was about to be unearthed, and the hidden beings of this world were beginning to appear one by one.
roar!
The Yamata no Orochi roared, suddenly sensing that the ant had appeared on its back without anyone noticing.
" Octopus Loach, do you want to lose eight heads, or become my mode of transportation? The choice is yours."
The Sword in the Stone was held in Xiao Tian's hand. Its visible purple-gold sharpness was like the roar of a divine dragon. The Yamata no Orochi could feel this terrifying power, enough to easily sever its head.
"You lowly ant! Don't even think about it!"
Sizzle! Pfft!
In the blink of an eye, the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi were severed, and just as it was about to fall, it abruptly disappeared.
The Evolver on the ground were stunned! They hadn't expected Xiao Tian to be so powerful!
The headless Yamata no Orochi no Orochi did not perish immediately. Although its eight heads contained half of its body's life essence, it had nine hearts, and its eight heads could grow back, but the energy consumption would be too great.
The blood vessels in the wound were pulsating, the blood was moving strangely, and the flesh was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hehehe... I've never tried spicy snake head before. Work harder, I only have eight in stock, you better grow faster."
The Yamata no Orochi trembled, whether from fear or rage, it was unclear.
Three minutes later, its eight severed heads had fully grown back, but compared to the original heads, they appeared moist and fragile, with scales not completely covering them.
Sizzle!
"No!" The Yamata no Orochi felt its eight newly grown heads disappear again, and it was filled with anger, but even more so with fear.
That demon!
"No! Great being! I am willing to be your means of transportation!" The voice of the Yamata no Orochi echoed in Xiao Tian's mind.
"Hehe, wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? Relax and let me leave something in your body and mind."
The Yamata no Orochi trembled, filled with frustration and anger, but even more so with helplessness, depression, and regret.
Why! Why did it come to the Dragon Country?!
