Legend of the Mythological Genes

The mythological path of the Great God Amaterasu?

This was the supreme god in japanese mythology, also known as the Goddess of the Sun…

Since that japanese woman was walking on this path, it wasn’t hard to imagine what abilities she would have.

Staring at that pitiful ninja who died, Feng Lin’s heart stirred. He checked for the items left behind by the ninja and took them for his own.

Over here, another ninja seemed to appear. There was a painted skin that could change his appearance completely. His face was covered by it and at the next moment, his features were completely different from his own.

Feng Lin now took on the appearance of that ninja with ease.

It was like he could see the ‘out of luck’ looks on those other Japanese’s faces. He laughed loudly. After that, he lowered his voice and tried to imitate the speech of the ninja earlier. Only after sometime when he finally got the pitch and everything right did Feng Lin nod.

This fantasy land of demons reflected Izumo Country of ancient times. And on a map he found among the belongings of the ninja, it indicated the camps of different demons clearly. There were three markings on the map that was extremely clear, and these three markings undoubtedly referred to the three legendary greater demons—the Shuten-Doji, Kyuubi no Kitsune, and Daitengu.

The Shuten-Doji was an evil demon that feasted on women. It loved drinking human blood and had the title of ‘King of hundred demons’.

The Kyuubi no Kitsune was a powerful demon possessing boundless charm and exceptional beauty. It was a fox with nine tails, and each tail contained a different ability.

The Daitengu was a humanoid demon. It had a large red nose and even had wings on its back. It was attired in ancient-style samurai armor and wielded a katana. It also had an extremely arrogant personality.

Out of the three greater demons, the Shuten-Doji was the most savage, the Kyuubi no Kitsune was the most charming, while the Daitengu had the strongest combat prowess.

So, according to what Yamamoto Ichiro had told him, these Japanese planned to subdue these demons first, making them into their shikigamis.

The Japanese split into different groups. Fuuma Taro led some people to deal with the Shuten-Doji, and as for the goddess, because she was a female, she wouldn’t be charmed by the Nine-tailed Fox. Hence, she went to deal with it.

As for the Daitengu, they clearly planned to give up on attacking it because it had the power of flight and immense combat prowess. It was too difficult to deal with it.

However, Feng Lin had other thoughts. Since the two other greater demons were targeted by the Japanese, he would only alert them if he went after one of the two greater demons.

Although the Daitengu was hard to deal with and was even capable of flight, Feng Lin himself could use the Cloudsoar ability. He wouldn’t lose out to the Daitengu in this aspect.

If he could subdue the Daitengu as a shikigami using the gourd left behind by the ninja, he would obtain a supreme wondrous treasure. The presence of the Daitengu would greatly boost his combat strength; it wasn’t a bad idea to use it as an extra fighter.

When he finally started a conflict with the Japanese on his own terms, they would surely have very fascinating expressions on their faces when they had to fight against a legendary greater demon from their own mythology, right?

The map showed that the location of the Daitengu’s nest was located to the south of him, about 50 km away, on a mountain named the Tengu Peak.

In order to avoid trouble due to delays, Feng Lin didn’t hesitate to activate his Cloudsoar ability as he flew in the air toward the Tengu Peak.

His spirit gene had been strengthened to 6, allowing his spirit force to be boosted immensely. The speed of his Cloudsoar ability quickened and the time he could use it extended greatly. He soared through the air with great speed, creating whistling sounds as he sped into the distance.

Very swiftly, an extremely tall mountain peak appeared in his vision among many other mountains. This mountain peak resembled a treasure sword pointing toward the sky. The peak was filled with many rocks and stones, and there were no signs of any flora here at all. The entire place seemed to radiate an aura of deathly silence.

The mountain peak was covered by a layer of black clouds that didn’t dissipate despite the passing of time. Darkness was everywhere; the atmosphere felt extremely bizarre.

This was demonic qi.

Feng Lin lifted his head and looked at the black clouds covering the peak. The demonic qi was so thick that they turned into a material form. As expected of a legendary greater demon from the mythology, its strength must be completely different compared to the other demons and monsters he fought before. Even from this distance, he could feel a heavy pressure boring down on him.

Interesting.

Feng Lin increased his speed and flew nearer.

“Who is it?” An angry roar drifted over from afar.

A figure of over three meters tall sat on the mountain peak in a cross-legged manner. Thick clouds of demonic qi covered him, expanding and contracting with his every breath. This was clearly a greater demon that understood cultivation.

Sensing Feng Lin’s approach, the demon inclined his head and revealed a flushed face resembling a dog. Its nose was very long and large, and coldness flickered in its eyes, exuding arrogance.

“Human, are you like those weak humans in the past who wished to subdue me?” The Daitengu’s voice contained a cold gloominess to it, and its eyes stared fixedly at Feng Lin. Most likely, if Feng Lin pulled any strange moves, the Daitengu would instantly act.

“That’s right.” Feng Lin replied honestly, in neither servile nor overbearing manner.

“Oh, you sound so confident!” The Daitengu stood up. His body was five meters in height and resembled a giant. The wings behind his back enveloped his body, concealing it completely. The demonic qi in the area churned wildly as the black clouds propagated.

Boundless might gushed forth like ocean tides, generating an immense pressure. If an ordinary person was here, that person would be involuntarily trembling violently because of the primal fear from his guts.

Bzz~

The katana on the Daitengu’s waist was unsheathed, exuding a baleful aura that bore down on Feng Lin. This was clearly an ominous weapon that had taken many lives before.

“Hehehe.”

Feng Lin coldly laughed. Such an imposing aura, was this Daitengu trying to scare him?

He grabbed the thin air as his own ferocious surge of spirit force materialized into a sword. He pierced the sword in the air and swung out with it abruptly.

At this moment, the entire space trembled. The demonic qi black clouds churned wildly as they dispersed.

Sunlight which had not been able to shine through for thousands of years actually shone down at this moment, illuminating the darkened peak. The brilliant sun rays pierced into the Daitengu’s eyes, causing the Daitengu to scream.

Go!

Feng Lin’s finger was like a sword. He pierced out with it as more strands of his spirit force materialized, turning into chains that shot over.

Once the chains came in contact with the Daitengu, it would end up like the ninja from before, becoming a lamb awaiting slaughter.

First slash of absolute annihilation!

The Daitengu narrowed his eyes as a demonic glint flashed within. It grabbed the katana with both hands and positioned it high before swinging down with it. A black ray of light suddenly flashed on the mountain peak.

A crescent-shaped black beam of light shot over, capable of destroying the multitude of things. Even Feng Lin’s strands of spirit force were cleanly severed by it.

Flap, flap, flap!

The Daitengu soared into the air, causing the dark demonic qi to gather, manifesting a storm which measured 13 on the Beaufort Wind Force Scale. Many rocks and stones were hoisted up in the air as they rained down on Feng Lin.

Feng Lin stood amidst the demonic wind storm imposingly, resembling an unshakable mountain. His punches were like thunder; their force caused a screen of vibration to appear around him, shattering all objects that came near him.

Swish~

A gigantic figure soared into the air, adopting a stance of man and katana as one. A moment later, the Daitengu sped downward, adding on the force of gravity to his attack and moving with the speed of a shooting star.

Feng Lin’s spirit force gushed forth, creating clouds of mist around him as he concealed himself within them.

Second slash of black destruction!

The katana slashed and stabbed in different directions, forming a web of sword energy and easily dissipating the clouds of mist. However, Feng Lin had long since disappeared.

The Daitengu instinctively felt that something was wrong. It glanced up at the sky only to see that Feng Lin had already appeared in the space above him.

Sky Flipping Hammer Imprint!

Hoi!

Feng Lin drew in a deep breath as his face flushed red. He lifted his arms and pressed them ruthlessly downward.

A thunderous boom rang out.

A pressure as majestic and heavy as a mountain bore down with absolute suppression.

Feng Lin blasted his arms down like a cannon, heavily slamming into the Daitengu, causing the Daitengu to plunge toward the ground at a great speed.
