Chapter 202: Resistance at Great Mountain: Final

The Four Heavenly Kings' ultimate techniques are all brutally fierce killing moves, unleashed at full power by exhausting all demonic energy, reaching the peak of overwhelming strength.

Even a Oni King's body, using this power capable of shaking the world, would fall into weakness for a long time afterward.

This is an ultimate technique usable only by Oni Kings, one that condenses strength, conviction, spirit, and physical stamina, turning the user's very self into part of the attack.

Each strike explodes with thunderous roars, merging into a continuous, unimaginably vast roar that, when unified, could shatter mountains or cleave oceans without effort.

Crude and heavy, it crushed forward with the ferocious style unique to the Oni race; the terrifying demonic aura surging forth was the greatest Yagumo Shiki had ever witnessed.

"So strong… incredibly strong."

For a moment, Yagumo Shiki's vision was filled entirely with a crimson tide, her ears filled only with the deafening roar of wind like thunder—nothing else existed.

She thought, if she wanted to flee now, she could still escape.

Indeed, even the great Oni Sage could not summon the slightest thought of confronting this technique head-on.

But,

the next instant, she heard someone shout—

"Release your aura!"

Facing the approaching ultimate Oni technique,

Ha————!

Jia Ji let out a deafening roar, stretching his powerful, muscular frame freely, turning everything around him to ash beneath the aura he unleashed.

His raised right fist slammed forward with an unstoppable, tyrannical momentum.

The wind froze in that instant,

all life on the ground halted motionless,

the world itself froze.

All things under heaven and earth lost their sense of existence in an instant.

Then… time began to flow again—

Like starlight falling from the heavens, it struck the only path to victory, shattering the densely condensed Oni fist.

A massive ring of aura erupted outward, engulfing several kilometers around in an instant—those were layers of rapidly expanding air currents and shockwaves, sweeping everything away.

The mighty battle aura filled heaven and earth, while the crimson-black demonic aura struck back just as fiercely; the clash of these two utterly opposing forces was a spectacle too dazzling to forget.

"Roarrrrrr—!"

The Oni Kings roared as they unleashed their power, laughing wildly.

Trying to understand the yaoguai's mindset through human logic was a grave mistake, yet one thing was shared.

"It's wonderful to have met him—"

Unconsciously, they all thought this, pouring out their lives with unprecedented intensity—their wild instincts and refusal to lose became the driving force behind everything.

"I won't lose!"

"We can't lose!"

Crack.

Crack.

Faintly, it seemed as if some barrier had silently been crossed—every muscle, every bone, every drop of blood, every cell, every single thing… began to evolve!!

Beyond! Beyond! Beyond! Beyond!

Beyond their former selves, beyond their selves from a moment ago, beyond the limits of the Oni race, beyond thousands of years of Oni history, beyond everything!

"But why?! Why?!"

Though the atmosphere within several kilometers had been utterly ravaged, and only thunderous roars filled her ears, Iblis Suika's furious, disbelieving curses still reached every mind with perfect clarity.

"Why can't we beat this guy?!"

With a sudden roar, the Oni Kings' exhausted bodies erupted with even greater power.

Their bodies drew new nourishment from the emotion called rage.

Beneath the clear sky, Jia Ji wore a bright, unclouded smile and spoke in a calm tone:

"Because I am stronger."

The ground beneath his feet shattered, rocks crumbling slowly into dust, dust dissolving into finer particles… finally turning to powder.

Blood poured from his pores due to the immense recoil, but the moment it emerged, it vaporized into a crimson mist clinging to his body; heavy power rippled outward from his skin in concentric waves, compressing the air into solidity, making every movement he made radiate the might of a demon god.

"The Beidou Shenquan is invincible under heaven."

Jia Ji declared.

As he spoke, blue aura surged over his body, saturating his veins, muscles, bones, nerves, countless things.

As this power spread, meeting the stunned, awestruck, terrified gazes of all present, Jia Ji's battle aura paused for an instant—then…

"Beidou Shenquan Ultimate Technique: Tian Po Hao Huo Sha!"

Facing the rapidly approaching demonic power, he stood motionless, slammed his fists together, and launched a visible column of aura straight into the heavens.

"What?!"

"This power…"

"Ugh, he… he actually…"

Boom—boom—boom—

The battle aura swelled again, surging skyward; four figures were instantly swallowed by the torrent. The expanding aura lingered long in the sky, forming a magnificent, awe-inspiring spectacle.

The thunderous roar echoed so loudly it reached across the entire Tango Province.

Merely from a single strike of pure force, an supersonic shockwave tore through the air, cleaving through clouds and punching a gaping hole into the stratosphere.

It was terror like waking from a nightmare!

In an instant, every human and every yaoguai across all of Japan leapt up, a nameless dread surging from their hearts, their hearts pounding uncontrollably.

What happened?!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, frantically scanning their surroundings—until they saw the distant sky.

Then, dumbfounded, they watched as the sky slowly split apart, sunlight pouring down to reveal the void of space.

At that moment, sunlight blazed directly down over a radius of several kilometers; the golden sun emerged from the parted clouds, bathing all beings below in boundless radiance.

When the explosion in the distant sky subsided and the dust cleared, a terrifying crater over two hundred meters in diameter appeared where Great Mountain had stood; the ground within hundreds of meters had been scoured clean, and forests far beyond had vanished, leaving vast stretches of barren earth.

Around the crater, many places bore blackened, scorching crystals.

But this was not the result of direct attack—it was the residual shockwave left by someone standing here.

Jia Ji stood tall, blue arcs of energy dancing over his body, intense heat still radiating outward from him in all directions.

The last one standing nodded to the Oni Sage in the sky, then pulled on a coat again.

"Thank you, two thousand years."
