Chapter 167 The Godslayer!

"Brother?"

At that moment, a figure descended from the sky, accompanied by a vast expanse of golden radiance. Her form was that of a gentle woman, dressed in a magnificent junihitoe and holding an antique lute. The brilliance was so dazzling that her face could not be clearly seen.

As the figure descended from the sky, Su Baiwei stared intently at the lute in Amaterasu's hands.

Because that was originally hers!

Of course, if one traced back to the source, her Divine Power was also a replacement for the island nation's original Great Deity Fushimi Inari.

Amaterasu Omikami appeared somewhat surprised: "Brother, you actually awakened before me."

Susanoo's mouth twitched. He couldn't exactly say that he had been sleeping soundly when someone beat him awake, could he?

Amaterasu sensed the surroundings, her brow furrowing slightly.

"The timing of the awakening is wrong; it is a bit too early. The Laws of heaven and earth are still not perfect enough, and we cannot return to our peak state."

"This awakening... Brother, is it your doing?"

Susanoo's mouth twitched again. He really wanted to curse Oohirume-no-muchi's entire family. Were you blind? Could you not see that a Mortal and Tamamo-no-Mae had appeared here?

But then he remembered that his 'entire family' included himself, so he decided against it.

However, while enduring for a moment might bring peace, taking a step back only made him angrier the more he thought about it. If he endured everything, was he even still the God of Destruction?

Susanoo had completely forgotten about the existence of Jiang Chen and Su Baiwei, and began to feel the urge to have a heart-to-heart with his sister.

But suddenly, a figure flashed before his eyes, moving even faster than him.

It was Jiang Chen. Since he had confirmed that Su Baiwei's divinity was in the hands of Amaterasu Omikami, Jiang Chen naturally wanted to make quick work of things.

After dealing with these miscellaneous gods, he could take Jianzhen's remains back to his hometown.

Amaterasu Omikami was still dissatisfied with her brother for awakening her from her slumber early. Maintaining such powerful strength like this would only lead to constant depletion that was difficult to replenish.

But suddenly, she felt her skin crawl, as if something was about to drill into her.

Amaterasu Omikami's form still radiated intense golden light, and she didn't seem to make any movement.

When Jiang Chen struck down with a Finger Sword, he realized that the Amaterasu Omikami before him had already turned into a shattered afterimage.

Jiang Chen's gaze narrowed. Teleportation?

Such a Divine Ability was no small matter; even though he had practiced Golden Light Ground-Traversing to the third level, he had not yet reached the level of teleportation.

Meanwhile, Amaterasu Omikami's figure slowly appeared not far away, standing quietly in the Void Realm, looking at Jiang Chen with a hint of indignation in her eyes.

"Mortal? How dare you enter my Divine Kingdom without my permission?"

"God? Today, I shall slay one!"

After Jiang Chen spoke, he did not stop, treading upon the Void Realm as he strode toward Amaterasu Omikami.

A hint of disdain appeared at the corners of Amaterasu Omikami's mouth. To encounter someone who dared to challenge her majesty so soon after waking from a long slumber—fine, she would use him to deter the other gods once more.

Especially this unruly brother of hers!

"Mortal, your strength is quite good. In normal times, I could have made you the master of Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, to control billions of mundane lives solely to serve me."

"But today, you dare to offend my Divine Might. As the God of Gods and the Lord of Takamagahara, I can no longer tolerate you!"

Amaterasu Omikami's voice spread throughout almost the entirety of Takamagahara. With the support of the Power Of Faith and the rules of this place, she possessed an even greater authority than she did in the outside world.

Many deities who had just awakened from their slumber heard Amaterasu Omikami's declaration as their first words.

The gods, who had originally wanted to shout a few times or do something to show their presence and signal their return, all fell silent for a moment.

In the tall palace at the very center, Jiang Chen slashed at Amaterasu Omikami several times, but she easily evaded him using teleportation.

She would not have been able to use such teleportation so freely in the outside world, but this was Takamagahara, where the rules were in her favor, allowing her to use it so flexibly.

"Mortal, submit or die!"

Amaterasu Omikami elegantly and gently plucked the lute in her hands, sending out waves of beautiful music.

Su Baiwei's Divine Power flashed for an instant, and in the next moment, the lute in Amaterasu Omikami's hands could no longer make any sound.

Amaterasu Omikami followed the Divine Power and immediately saw Su Baiwei standing in the palace.

"It's you, Tamamo-no-Mae. You usurped divinity back then, and now you actually dare to come to Takamagahara?"

"This is what you owe me. I am merely taking back what is rightfully mine."

Su Baiwei wanted to use this to distract Amaterasu Omikami and give Jiang Chen an opportunity to attack.

She could see that Amaterasu Omikami was equally wary of Jiang Chen's power; otherwise, she wouldn't be constantly teleporting to dodge, relying solely on the support of the local rule power.

However, the rule power here was almost inexhaustible, while Jiang Chen's True Qi and will were limited. Not to mention the many other gods present; simply dragging it out like this was not a solution.

Just as Su Baiwei was feeling anxious, Jiang Chen's attacking figure suddenly came to a halt.

"Oh? Is it over already? As expected, truly an incompetent Mortal."

Susanoo felt a slight sense of regret. He had been looking forward to Jiang Chen giving Amaterasu Omikami a sound beating, but now it seemed it was just wishful thinking.

"Jiang Chen, if it's not working, let's leave first while they are still wary of you. Otherwise, once Amaterasu Omikami gathers the gods, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"

Su Baiwei's slightly anxious voice echoed in Jiang Chen's heart. She wanted to reclaim the Divine Power that belonged to her, but she wanted to live even more.

She had also wanted to take action just now, but Susanoo had been staring at her the whole time, leaving her no suitable opportunity.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen's eyes were devoid of joy or sorrow, ignoring both Amaterasu Omikami's provocation and Su Baiwei's words.

At this moment, a red-gold light flashed through his eyes.

In that instant, a deep sense of crisis suddenly arose in Amaterasu Omikami's heart.

Her figure immediately teleported far away to dodge, while she didn't forget to cast her gaze toward Jiang Chen's direction to see what he was actually planning to do.

But with that one look, she felt something follow her line of sight and slash straight into her mind!

This sword is formless, called Xiangxiang!

It does not slash the Physical Body, nor does it slash the Divine Soul; it specifically slashes Karma.

Your seeing me is the cause, my slaying you is the effect!

It is unavoidable and inescapable.

Now, some might ask if it could be avoided by not looking.

The sword would tell you: I lied, you can't avoid it even if you don't look!

This sword light followed the Karma Line between Jiang Chen and Amaterasu Omikami, slashing directly into Amaterasu Omikami's mind. Amaterasu Omikami was terrified to the extreme, employing all sorts of methods to resist and block this sword light.

But there was no effect whatsoever; these methods seemed completely useless against this sword light.

In this critical situation, Amaterasu Omikami cried out: "Gods, save me!"

Her form instantly transformed into something like a brilliant sun, hanging high in the firmament.

Divine Power poured out wantonly with the sunlight; she was attempting to sacrifice the pawn to save the rook, preserving her own strength!
