294: Chapter 295 Should I Not Exist? Informing the Gods

"Round two." Lu Chen's voice sounded once again, still calm and ripple-free.

The xuanyuan sword before him let out another soft hum.

This time, the sword light was restrained, no longer sharp and exposed, yet it gave people a feeling of being even more profound and vast.

As if it bore the weight of eternal mountains and rivers.

Alarm bells rang loudly in Susanoo's heart.

He could feel it; the other party was about to get serious!

"Yamata no Orochi, appear!"

Susanoo violently thrust his katana into the Void Realm, simultaneously biting the tip of his tongue and spraying a mouthful of pure divine blood onto the hilt!

Roar—!!!

A roar that seemed to come from the ancient primordial era rang out!

The space behind him twisted violently, and black Qi churned!

Eight hideous, gigantic snake heads, exuding the scent of sulfur, emerged from the black Qi!

Each snake head was the size of a small hill, their scarlet eyes flickering with cruel, bloodthirsty light, their fangs covered in viscous venom opening and closing, emitting a nauseating, foul stench.

The projection of Yamata no Orochi!

This was one of his trump card Divine Abilities, using his own Divine Power and blood essence as a conduit to summon the projection of a legendary fierce god!

"Devour him for me!" Susanoo pointed at Lu Chen with a ferocious expression.

The eight snake heads let out a simultaneous hiss, opened their gaping maws, and, carrying a monstrous, baleful Aura, rushed to devour Lu Chen!

The mountain rocks, grass, and trees along their path withered and decayed instantly upon touching the black Qi they emitted!

Looking at the eight gigantic snake heads rushing towards him, Lu Chen's eyes finally showed a trace of fluctuation.

Not fear, but... disdain?

"Evil heresy."

He shook his head and raised his right hand.

This time, he did not use the xuanyuan sword.

Instead, he spread his five fingers and pressed them vaguely towards the eight snake heads.

"Zhe!"

Hum— The Ziwei True Essence within his Golden Core surged.

"Houtu Prison Suppression!"

An invisible, profound force field instantly enveloped the eight snake heads.

"Li Fire Burning Heaven!"

Scorching flames, tainted with ziwei essence, suddenly ignited.

The eight aggressive snake heads, which seemed ready to swallow the sky and eat the earth, suddenly stalled in their movements!

The black Qi churning on their bodies, under the Li Fire Burning Heaven, seemed to have met its nemesis and ignited into a great fire.

"Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!"

Then, in Susanoo's incredulous gaze, the eight snake heads unexpectedly lost control... and collided with each other!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Like eight huge balloons colliding, they made dull, thudding sounds.

Then, an even more bizarre scene occurred.

A snake head on the left suddenly opened its maw and bit down on the neck of the snake head next to it!

And the bitten snake head, not to be outdone, bit back at a third snake head!

For a moment, the eight gigantic snake heads were, as if gone mad, tearing into and fighting each other!

Black Qi splattered, and scales flew everywhere!

The scene was chaotic and... comical.

"Pfft—!"

Susanoo spat out another mouthful of divine blood, his face instantly turning as pale as paper.

The Yamata no Orochi projection was connected to his mind; this internal fighting and backlash caused him heavy injuries!

"This... this is impossible! My Great God Orochi..." He muttered absentmindedly, unable to comprehend everything happening before his eyes.

"Noisy."

Lu Chen flicked his finger.

"Six Meridian Divine Sword!"

"Mystic Gold Void Splitting!"

Another finger-wind shot out.

This time, it struck directly at Susanoo's glabella.

Susanoo was still in shock and couldn't react in time.

Seeing that the finger-wind was about to hit.

Suddenly!

The ancient crimson armor on his body suddenly erupted with a burst of strong light!

The light formed a blurry, even more majestic divine projection, blocking the finger-wind.

Chi!

The finger-wind struck the projection, piercing a small hole through it, but it was also dissipated.

"Amaterasu Omikami's Divine Power imprint?" Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.

Taking advantage of this gap, Susanoo finally snapped out of it, his face full of horror and fear.

He didn't hesitate at all, turned around, and ran!

Even his strongest Divine Ability had been so easily neutralized, and even toyed with, by the other party; how could he dare to continue fighting?

The "Great Emperor Ziwei" before him was simply not an existence he could contend with!

"Want to leave?"

Lu Chen's voice sounded behind him like a death warrant.

"The third round is over."

Before the words fell.

The xuanyuan sword moved!

A golden light, fast to the extreme, tore through the sky!

Its target: the fleeing Susanoo.

Susanoo was terrified, feeling a fatal threat!

Without thinking, he crazily injected all his remaining Divine Power into Ama-no-Habakiri and slashed backwards!

Attempting to block that golden light!

Crack!!!

A crisp, teeth-aching snapping sound rang out!

In Susanoo's horrified gaze, his famous Divine Artifact, the katana Ama-no-Habakiri that had accompanied him for countless years, was... by that slender golden light... sliced in two!

The cut was as smooth as a mirror!

"Ah—!!!"

With his Divine Artifact destroyed, Susanoo let out an extremely painful howl, as if his Divine Soul had been torn apart!

The most critical thing was that this slash didn't block Lu Chen's xuanyuan sword light at all!

Susanoo's body from the waist down slid off smoothly.

A spurt of golden blood gushed out, and falling along with it were his two legs, complete with the two lychees and one earthworm hanging there.

"Ah!" Susanoo screamed.

The nine tripods in Lu Chen's Divine Sense were stirring.

Lu Chen directly conjured the nine tripods; the half-body falling from the sky began to gradually dissipate between heaven and earth, but with the appearance of the nine tripods, this half-body was controlled in mid-air.

Seeing the nine tripods in the sky, Susanoo's Divine Soul shook violently, and he didn't even care about his remaining half-body.

"You actually possess the Forbidden!"

"Gate of Takamagahara, open!"

The space before him was torn open like cloth, revealing a pitch-black rift!

That was the passage to Takamagahara!

Susanoo's Soul Emergence, without looking back, plunged headfirst into the rift!

He simply abandoned both halves of his body.

The rift closed rapidly and disappeared.

The other half of his body, still bearing his head, also fell from mid-air, just like that, surrounded by the great formation formed by the nine tripods, and the spiritual power it transformed into was being devoured by the nine tripods bit by bit.

In the rift, starlight could be vaguely seen circulating, emitting an Aura completely different from this world.

Finally, an echo full of resentment and fear drifted out: "Forbidden, you should not exist in this world..."

The valley returned to calm.

Only the devastated mountain peak remained, and... in mid-air, the katana, broken in two and with dim spiritual light.

Lu Chen raised his hand and summoned it.

The broken Ama-no-Habakiri flew into his hand.

He weighed it and tossed it into the seven treasures ring.

"It is indeed good Materials for Artifact Refining. I really didn't expect that this xuanyuan sword I forged myself would have such power!"

He looked in the direction where Susanoo had disappeared, his gaze calm.

"Takamagahara?"

"It really is a hidden Small World. I wonder how it compares to my Kunlun Sacred Realm in terms of quality?"

"Just a bunch of indigenous gods."

Lu Chen waited quietly for the nine tripods to absorb Susanoo's divine body.

In the valley, only Lu Chen remained.

And the nine great tripods floating in mid-air, constantly rotating, exuding an ancient and vast Aura.

Above the nine tripods, the two halves of the body that originally belonged to Susanoo were melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not turning into fly ash, but transforming into the purest energy, like rivers returning to the sea, slowly absorbed by the nine tripods.

Not only these, but even the golden divine blood Aura permeating the air and the violent Divine Power fluctuations were absorbed by the nine tripods.

The mountain breeze blew by, carrying away the last trace belonging to that Takamagahara deity.

The rotation speed of the nine tripods gradually slowed down.

The patterns of mountains, rivers, grass, trees, sun, moon, and stars engraved on the tripods seemed to come alive, flowing with a faint halo.

The last wisp of golden energy was sucked into the mouth of the tripod.

Hum—

The nine tripods simultaneously let out a deep, distant hum, as if a comfortable groan after being full.

They stopped rotating and floated quietly in the air.

Lu Chen raised his hand and gently summoned the nine tripods.

The nine great tripods turned into nine streams of light, sinking into his glabella, returning to his Divine Sense space.

Almost at the instant the nine tripods returned to their place.

Within Lu Chen's Divine Sense space, winds and clouds surged!
