Chapter 329

【Ladies and gentlemen, the Immortal Lord has arrived at the Myoshin Shrine.】

【We are about to win this war!】

Upon hearing the message carried by the Wu Ma horn, Tachibana froze in place.

Then she was overcome with joy.

The Immortal Lord!

Jiang Yan has come!!

Even the soldiers fighting nearby erupted in cheers.

Though none of them had ever seen Jiang Yan, his reputation had long resounded throughout Inazuma.

With such a powerful figure aiding Inazuma, this battle would surely end swiftly.

"That's wonderful……"

Only now did Tachibana finally exhale in relief.

Jiang Yan's arrival was unquestionably her anchor.

All they needed to do now was hold their ground until Jiang Yan arrived.

"Everyone, hold this position!"

Tachibana shouted to the soldiers around her.

"The Tianquan of Liyue has come to reinforce us—we only need to hold out until he arrives."

"Hold on at all costs!!!"

Tachibana continuously rallied the soldiers around her.

"Yes!!"

The soldiers around her shouted back loudly, their eyes no longer filled with despair.

Jiang Yan's arrival had given them immense confidence; their morale soared, and their spears swung with fierce momentum.

Outside the Myoshin Shrine, as the light slowly faded, Kujou Sara and the others slowly opened their eyes.

There stood a figure clad in azure-gold battle robes, towering between heaven and earth; before him lay an endless expanse of pitch-black land.

Almost everyone trembled.

One person, voice shaking, murmured:

"I remember…… just over there……"

"Wasn't there a mountain……?"

Some nodded, swallowing hard.

Jiang Yan's punch didn't just obliterate the entire wave of demons—it leveled every nearby mountain.

"I didn't expect the Liyue Sky Fortress to be here."

The aerial reconnaissance by the flying vessel had naturally been detected by Jiang Yan.

"We must hurry—I still need to go to Khaenri'ah."

Jiang Yan murmured, then turned to Kujou Sara and the others:

"You clear the battlefield here. Watch for any resurgence of demons. I'm going to Inazuma City."

Kujou Sara nodded. Jiang Yan turned, and rose into the air.

Then he shot toward Inazuma City.

A streak of seven-colored light sliced across the sky, and in an instant, Jiang Yan arrived above Inazuma City.

"No time for pleasantries—let's end this quickly."

Jiang Yan smirked, clasping his hands together.

It's been a long time since I last used that technique…

"Immortal Method! Wood Release, True Thousand Hands!"

As Jiang Yan spoke, countless trees erupted from the ground.

Simultaneously, the earth began to shake violently.

Tachibana and the others barely stabilized themselves, their eyes wide with shock as the trees behind them grew wildly.

... 0 0

"Jiang Yan—is that you?"

Tachibana murmured.

A colossal Buddha, a thousand meters tall, slowly rose from the ground.

Jiang Yan descended from the sky and landed atop the Buddha's head.

His clasped hands remained together as he roared again:

"Topmost Transformation Buddha!!"

Instantly, the Thousand Hands Luo Pan behind the Buddha turned slowly, countless arms extending outward to form a curtain of fists that slammed down upon the earth.

Countless demons screamed and scattered, desperately trying to evade the rainlike barrage of fists.

Each strike of the Buddha's palm echoed with thunderous booms, crushing vast swathes of demons.

When the Topmost Transformation Buddha ended, countless dense fist-shaped craters appeared across the land.

Vast numbers of demons perished here; black blood soaked into the earth, and faint tendrils of dark mist spread all around.

The soldiers below, witnessing the sudden appearance of the Buddha and its instantaneous annihilation of most demons, erupted in deafening cheers.

Their reinforcements had arrived! They had won!

Hearing the cheers from below, Jiang Yan did not descend to join them; instead, he clasped his hands once more.

"Wood Release, Wood Clone Technique."

A wooden clone of Jiang Yan emerged from behind him and said respectfully:

"Original body."

"I have handed the Great Buddha over to you. You will purge the demons on the sea surface and those around Inazuma."

Jiang Yan spoke a few words to the clone.
