Chapter 699 - 698: Izanami Summons Orochi? Chu Sheng: The Main Course is Here Again
Chapter 699: Chapter 698: Izanami Summons Orochi? Chu Sheng: The Main Course is Here Again
At last year’s Youth Martial Dao Tournament.
Chu Sheng killed a clone of Orochi and harvested three Inner Cores.
He recycled the three Inner Cores on the spot, gaining 30,000 Life Essence.
It might not sound like much.
But back then, Chu Sheng was only at the Sixth-Grade!
Thirty thousand Life Essence was a huge amount for him at the time.
It was undoubtedly a massive windfall.
He even sighed in contentment back then.
’I hope a billion more of these "big scores" come my way.’
Who would have thought that a year later...
Orochi would deliver itself right to his doorstep!!!
’A Ninth Grade clone gave that much Life Essence.’
’The "reward" for a Divine Realm Orochi must be incredibly generous!!!’
’It might even be enough to push my Realm straight to the Peak of Emperor Realm!’
Iyamei noticed...
...that the way Chu Sheng was looking at her had suddenly become friendly.
Even...
...tinged with a hint of gratitude.
Even...
when the big black dog tried to rush over and stop her summoning, Chu Sheng quickly intercepted it.
Chu Sheng even roared at the big black dog in dissatisfaction.
"Stay out of this!"
The shout stunned the big black dog.
It stared at Chu Sheng, completely baffled.
It didn’t understand why Chu Sheng would stop it.
’Has this mosquito gone mad?’
’Can’t he see she’s summoning an even more powerful monster?’
Iyamei, watching this scene unfold...
...couldn’t understand why Chu Sheng’s attitude had done a complete 180.
But...
...it no longer mattered.
Her life was already at its end.
As long as she could summon Lord Orochi before she died to avenge her and her brother...
...she could die without regrets.
As her summoning ritual completed...
a terrifying hiss, as if from the primordial wilderness, suddenly echoed throughout the entire East Japan Divine Domain!
Above the blood-red seal, Space shattered like a mirror.
Immediately after, a black mist so thick it was almost solid spewed forth.
A massive, indistinct silhouette slowly materialized within the black mist.
Its enormous body, shimmering with a cold, metallic light, gradually emerged from the black mist.
One by one, serpentine heads larger than millstones revealed their hideous faces.
One of the dark green heads lunged toward Iyamei.
It opened its gaping maw.
And in one gulp, swallowed her whole.
It chewed a few times with a "MUNCH MUNCH."
Seemingly satisfied with Iyamei’s taste.
Its gigantic, lantern-like pupils swiveled around.
Finally, they locked onto Chu Sheng.
"It’s... YOU!!!"
Orochi recognized Chu Sheng at a single glance.
Its voice was filled with incredulous rage.
A year ago, a few Sakura People had summoned its clone.
In the end, it barely got a few bites of the sacrifice...
...before being dismembered by the mosquito before it.
Although the clone was merely formed from Divine Power...
...that was still its Life Essence!
After being destroyed by Chu Sheng...
...its three Inner Cores were completely absorbed by him, never to return to its main body.
The loss was catastrophic!
Even now, it hadn’t fully recovered!
And this time, upon being summoned...
it never expected to be facing Chu Sheng again!
The rage in Orochi’s heart...
...erupted uncontrollably like a volcano!
"Despicable ant."
"Last time, you caused this lord to lose a great deal of Divine Power."
"This time, this lord will tear you to pieces!"
"I will suck your blood dry and gnaw your bones clean!"
The roars that casually escaped Orochi’s mouth carried world-destroying power.
The entire East Japan Divine Domain trembled at the sound of its roars.
The ground split open with massive fissures.
The remaining buildings collapsed with a deafening crash.
Upon seeing Orochi appear, the usually nonchalant big black dog...
...felt every hair on its body stand on end.
It could sense it.
Although the Orochi Iyamei had summoned was still a clone formed from Divine Power...
...its true Realm had already reached the Peak of the Refining God Realm.
This might sound like it was a Grand Realm lower than Iyaki’s Quasi-God Realm...
...but their strengths weren’t in the same weight class at all!
Iyaki’s power, built by devouring his descendants, was like the empty bloat from a seafood binge.
How could that compare to the hard-earned, eight-pack abs of a creature like Orochi, honed through real combat!!!
The big black dog was even prepared.
It was ready to burn its Life Force at any moment to forcibly raise its Realm.
And fight Orochi to the death.
Asia wore the same expression as the big black dog.
Ever since entering the East Japan Divine Domain...
Asia had been completely relaxed.
Even when facing Iyaki, who was three Grand Realms above her, she had finished him with a single arrow.
She felt no pressure at all.
But now, facing Orochi, her face was etched with unprecedented gravity.
’This is what a true Refining God Realm expert should be like.’
’Compared to Orochi, those East Japan Ancient Gods couldn’t even measure up to one of its heads!’
Asia hesitated for a moment.
She took out a completely jade-green Elixir from her Spatial Ring and clutched it tightly in her palm.
Only by consuming this Elixir...
...could she stand a fighting chance against Orochi.
But...
...it would only be a fighting chance.
Winning was simply impossible.
Only Chu Sheng had a completely different expression after seeing Orochi being summoned.
He completely ignored the intense pressure radiating from Orochi.
He extended a foreleg, pointing at Orochi’s heads.
One, two, three... six.
"Only six!"
"That’s way too few."
Chu Sheng shook his head, very unsatisfied.
"Last time, the Ninth Grade clone had three heads."
"How come this Refining God Realm clone only has six!"
The big black dog and Asia were completely dumbfounded.
They had no idea what Chu Sheng was talking about.
Only Orochi understood what Chu Sheng meant.
Its six heads instantly turned ashen with fury.
It trembled with rage.
But soon...
...it calmed down.
Its twelve eyes stared intently at Chu Sheng, filled with shock.
The last time Orochi was summoned, it had discovered that Chu Sheng’s Power of Origin was unique.
It was unbelievably pure.
Back then, it thought Lady Luck had smiled upon it, bestowing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In the end, it had become the other’s opportunity.
Meeting again this time...
Orochi discovered that Chu Sheng’s Power of Origin had evolved once more.
It was a hundred times more precious than before!
’A mosquito that evolves this quickly?’
’It must be a descendant of some primordial ancient species!’
At this thought...
...the anger on Orochi’s face immediately turned into naked greed.
If it could completely absorb Chu Sheng’s Power of Origin...
...it might just be able to break through its bottleneck.
And evolve into a true Divine Beast!
"Damn mosquito, this time, this lord will absorb every last drop of your Power of Origin."
"Only then will the hatred in my heart for losing my Inner Cores last time be appeased!"
Orochi let out a furious roar.
Its massive, ten-li-long serpentine body suddenly whipped around.
CRASH!
A nearby mountain was instantly leveled.
Rubble flew everywhere.
It hadn’t even deliberately channeled its Divine Power.
A mere casual swing of its body possessed such terrifying might.
Then...
a terrifying Soul Suppression washed over the area as if it were a physical substance.
Like a tidal wave, it surged toward Chu Sheng’s position.
Faced with Orochi’s terrifying Soul Suppression...
...the big black dog and Asia’s expressions changed drastically.
They were forced to retreat more than a dozen steps...
...just to barely withstand it.
Xue stood her ground.
She gently nudged the hands of time.
Orochi’s Soul Suppression passed right through her.
It didn’t affect her in the slightest.
Chu Sheng was even more casual.
He hovered in the air, motionless.
He calmly flapped his wings.
[Ancient Calming God Spell! Activate!]
An invisible barrier appeared in front of Chu Sheng.
Orochi’s Soul Suppression fell upon him.
It didn’t cause the slightest ripple.
It was like a stone sinking into the sea.
Then, something even stranger happened.
The wave of Soul Suppression, as if it had seen a ghost...
...retreated in a panic.
It fled back into Orochi’s body.
...
