Chapter 368

After waiting two days, have they finally arrived?

Kamikawa Mitsu murmured, his voice soft, yet the gods, demons, immortals, and devils nearby who were holding back the killing array all heard it.

With those words spoken.

He turned his neck, looking toward the gods, demons, immortals, and devils.

"Your companions from each race and sect care deeply for you—nearly the entire clan has come out."

His calm voice echoed across this place.

The gods, demons, immortals, and devils struggling against the killing array suddenly changed expression.

"What are you going to do?"

"Damn it, are you manipulating us?!"

Since yesterday, they had already felt strange—why had Kamikawa Mitsu seized control of the Killing Immortal Array and turned it against them?

With his power to easily kill immortals and demons, combined with the Killing Immortal Array, he could have wiped them out effortlessly, without even breaking a sweat.

Yet he didn't do that. Instead, he lingered here, watching them die one by one inside the Killing Immortal Array.

Trapped within the Killing Immortal Array, they couldn't spare thought for anything else, assuming Kamikawa Mitsu was just a sadistic monster who wanted to slowly torture them to death.

After a day, they realized something was off.

Logically, if Kamikawa Mitsu wanted to torture them, he'd watch them struggle desperately within the array, watch them die.

But Kamikawa Mitsu didn't even watch…

He collected their corpses, preventing any damage to them.

And he kept gazing toward Earth.

As the core reserves of their respective races and sects, as gods, demons, immortals, and devils, they instantly understood Kamikawa Mitsu's intent—he planned to exploit their uncertain fates to set a trap, luring out the hidden reserves of their world.

As for what he intended to do to those reserves…

Perhaps to net them all, or perhaps some other purpose—but certainly nothing good.

"Manipulation? Not quite."

Kamikawa Mitsu smiled faintly upon hearing this:

"I just wanted to invite your companions to be actors. I won't pay them—planning to freeload."

Actors?

Their world had no films; they didn't know what "actors" meant, but they were certain it wasn't anything good.

"Damn it, what exactly are you planning to do to my clan?!"

One immortal demon roared, shaking the killing blows of the approaching array.

Had Kamikawa Mitsu not been holding the position, the stars and celestial bodies of this starry void would have shattered from his roar, and the void itself would have collapsed.

"If you dare touch my sect, we'll haunt you even as ghosts!"

A god demon gnashed his teeth, eyes blazing with bloodlust, ready to devour anyone.

They roared.

Their attacks against the killing array intensified, desperate to break free.

Once out of the killing array, they could contact or rush back to warn their own clan and sect.

Kamikawa Mitsu swept his sleeve lightly.

A blade-like streak of light slashed through the immortal demon who was cursing him.

Boom!!

The streak exploded like fireworks, reducing the immortal demon to scattered fragments, utterly annihilated—not even a speck of ash remained, his soul obliterated, barred even from reincarnation.

Too powerful.

Exquisitely brilliant, yet deadly.

Impossible to imagine—an immortal demon had just died.

This was an immortal demon, not a god demon—an immortal demon, wiped out casually by Kamikawa Mitsu. The gods, demons, immortals, and devils present were stunned into breathless silence.

He… had been hiding his strength!!

In that moment, all the gods, demons, immortals, and devils realized—their understanding of Kamikawa Mitsu's power had been wildly off. He was far stronger than they'd assumed, not merely someone who had advanced far along the immortal demon path.

He was never a Fourth Step of Divinity.

He had already reached… the Fifth Step of Divinity!!!

Blatant deception.

This being, towering above immortal demons, had long planned to lure them here.

Instantly.

All the gods, demons, immortals, and devils felt ice-cold from head to toe.

From start to finish, he had merely been mocking them, never using his full strength—only to draw them far from Earth, severing their connection to their world, so his own allies could gather forces.

"Noisy. How dare you insult my family."

Kamikawa Mitsu spoke, his tone unreadable, his thoughts unknown.

The gods, demons, immortals, and devils instinctively fell silent, unwilling to die over a single insult—it would be too humiliating.

"What exactly are you going to do?"

One immortal demon fixed him with a solemn gaze, gritting his teeth as he spoke lowly.

"Would you like to see what your companions are doing right now?" Kamikawa Mitsu asked in return, not answering.

It was unclear whether he was genuinely asking them—or merely speaking to himself.

The next instant.

Before the gods, demons, immortals, and devils could respond, Kamikawa Mitsu exhaled.

Bai Qi shimmered faintly, like swirling smoke and fire blooming, expanding into a hundred-meter-wide light cluster.

Within the light cluster, colorful divine radiance wove together, and in an instant, a magnificent and splendid scene emerged—clearly the landscape of Earth.

Clearly visible were the five interdimensional portals in Japan and America on Earth.

The gods, demons, immortals, and devils trembled, unable to resist glancing over, yet still holding back their defenses against the killing array's assaults.

They did not know.

At this moment, Kamikawa Mitsu was opening his small script panel, beginning a new small script.

……

Earth, the Shikoku region of Japan.

On Shishan Mountain, a rift of Lei Guang split open.

The immortal demons of the Star Demon Clan, alongside gods, demons, and immortals from various clans and sects, arrived together.

"What is this?"

The Star Demon Clan's immortal demon frowned, touching the Lei Guang rift—unable to pass through, as if something severed their connection to the other world.

"Severance of Heaven and Earth?"

An immortal demon from a major sect stepped forward, then immediately rejected the thought:

"No, it's not Severance of Heaven and Earth—only similar. Someone has connected with the Dao of that world and severed access to our Yongxing Realm. The method seems hasty, hastily sealed."

The immortal demons and gods nodded.

Just now, they had tried to pass through using attacks—none succeeded.

But they discovered: while beings could not pass, a sliver of divine awareness could slip through—meaning it was not truly severed. If it were truly sealed, it would have been a complete, prepared barrier; this was clearly a rushed, incomplete block.

They all released their divine awareness, seeking to probe what dangers or differences lay within this world, to learn the fate of their respective clans' gods, demons, and immortals.

Not long after.

They were stunned, faces filled with shock.

Through a sliver of divine awareness, they scanned the memories of Gaoqiao Zongjian and his group, located fifty li away.

They learned the state of this world—including the Original Battlefield, the Gods, major mythologies, the Initial Realm, the River of Time, and more.

They also learned what had happened to their respective clans' gods, demons, and immortals.

Like the earlier gods, demons, and immortals, they grew ecstatic—and terrified.

This world was impossibly powerful, far beyond anything they could conceive.

If they could obtain the opportunities here, breaking beyond Immortal Demon to a higher level might not be impossible.

"Break open this world's passage!"

Five immortal demons from Yongxing Realm spoke out, and similar words echoed from the immortal demons at the other four anomalous portals.

Boom!

They were pouring all their strength into shattering this incomplete Severance of Heaven and Earth.

Though the Gods terrified them—utterly beyond their level—the Gods were now fighting on the Original Battlefield, and as long as they did not attack the Initial Realm or its people, the Gods would say nothing.

Opportunities—this Initial Realm must hold great opportunities.

Not to mention anything else, even that single palace corner in Ping'an Capital belonging to Su Daji might contain opportunities to elevate them beyond Immortal Demon.

If all else fails, capture Kamikawa Mitsu.

That young prodigy, from a terrifying ancient family, must know something about higher-level cultivation techniques.

As for the ancient family coming to cause trouble?

Joking— they were merely rescuing their comrades, and accidentally "injured" Kamikawa Mitsu in the process. They were just overly protective of their companions.
