Chapter 378: Chaos Breath
Zhang Sanfeng was caught in danger, and Meng Yifan wanted to rescue him, but he had to face the attacks of the six heads of Yamata no Orochi, just like being besieged by six Fifth Grade powerhouses, beaten into a precarious state and unable to look after himself.
"Yin-Yang Evolution! Chaos Beginning!" At the critical moment, Zhang Sanfeng gave a loud shout, formed seals with his hands, and quickly tapped several major acupoints on his body.
In an instant, the Yin-Yang Qi within Zhang Sanfeng's body surged; the Taiji gave birth to the Two Forms, the Two Forms gave birth to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols gave birth to the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams gave birth to all things.
A mysterious and profound aura was born, causing the air around Zhang Sanfeng's body to twist, deform, and constantly transform.
This wisp of aura was like a wisp of Chaos Breath from before Heaven and Earth were opened, containing infinite possibilities, capable of evolving into all things in the world.
Although it was only a wisp of aura, very faint, it weighed ten thousand jin, causing the entire world to tremble along with it.
"This is an aura that only a Sixth Grade World Realm powerhouse can unleash. Master is only a Fifth-grade Lower-tier Immortal Cultivator, how could he possibly unleash it?"
While desperately fending off the attacks from the other six heads of Yamata no Orochi, Meng Yifan saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was very surprised.
Between a Fifth-grade Lower-tier Immortal Cultivator and a Sixth Grade cultivator lies a major realm; the disparity in strength is like a natural chasm.
That Zhang Sanfeng could unleash power comparable to a Sixth Grade cultivator while only at the Fifth-grade Lower-tier is truly incredible.
"Oh no! Master is using a forbidden technique, consuming his Life Source to forcibly raise his combat power, and he is even forcibly raising it by a whole major realm. This consumes a massive amount of Life Source; even if he defeats Yamata no Orochi in the end, he will very likely perish."
Meng Yifan was greatly shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Master, retreat quickly! I will deal with Yamata no Orochi; do not use the forbidden technique anymore."
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head, his expression firm as he said: "Yifan, death is not to be feared. Your master has already lived for over a thousand years; the relatives around me have long since become dry bones, and even the few old friends I had died in that war against Dongying. Your master must avenge them; even if my body dies and my Dao vanishes, I will not shirk."
Zhang Sanfeng's hair stood on end, his clothes fluttered without wind, and surging Spirit Power welled up within his body, exhausting all his ability to mobilize that dim wisp of Chaos Breath.
"For this old man, perish!" Zhang Sanfeng shouted loudly, and as that wisp of Chaos Breath blew across Zhang Sanfeng's body, the flames sprayed by Yamata no Orochi were like meeting their nemesis, instantly extinguished.
"Go to hell!" Zhang Sanfeng bit the tip of his tongue, spat out a mouthful of Blood Essence, fused it into the Chaos Breath, and then formed a sword finger with his right hand and pointed forward.
"Whoosh!" That wisp of Chaos Breath was like a fast arrow released from a bow, slicing through space and rushing toward Yamata no Orochi.
It was too fast; this wisp of Chaos Breath possessed unimaginable power, instantly breaking the hypersonic barrier, fast as lightning, as if teleporting, arriving in front of Yamata no Orochi in an instant.
"Roar! Awoo!" Yamata no Orochi also felt a fatal crisis; its eight heads roared simultaneously, earth-shaking, as energy of the eight elements gushed out and gathered together.
The Earth Element Demon Power condensed into a mountain towering into the clouds; from its appearance, it looked very much like Dongying's Mount Fuji.
At the peak of this mountain, Gold Element Demon Power condensed into a sharp cone, piercing the firmament.
The Water Element Demon Power was like an endless great river, circling the foot of the mountain.
On the mountain body, Wood Element Demon Power condensed into towering trees, making the entire mountain lush and full of vitality.
Inside the mountain, Fire Element Demon Power gathered, like a volcano, with scorching magma flowing.
Around the mountain, a gale howled, and blades of wind emitted shrill whistling sounds.
Around the mountain, there was even more Lightning and Thunder; dozens-of-meters-long bolts of lightning, like baring-fanged and brandishing-clawed divine dragons, flashed constantly.
Even more terrifying was that at the peak of this mountain, a Dark Moon black as ink hung in the sky, causing gloomy winds to blow around the mountain and baleful energy to be dense, as if it were the netherworld.
A mountain was a world; such a terrifying scene was transmitted to every corner of Earth via satellite broadcast.
The hundreds of millions of Dongying commoners were extremely excited, kneeling on the ground one after another, hands pressed together, praying to Yamata no Orochi, longing for Yamatano Orochi to defeat the evil Shenzhou invaders.
Wisps of Faith Power drifted out from the tops of the Dongying commoners' heads, and then, under the guidance of the Yasukuni Shrine Array, gathered into the body of Yamata no Orochi, and then were bestowed upon that Mountain World, making the Mountain World even more profound.
Meanwhile, in the Shenzhou command center, Chu Yunlong and Yang Yijian had grave expressions and were very worried; Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng were top experts of the Shenzhou Cultivation World, and if the two of them perished in Dongying, it would be like the sky collapsing for the Shenzhou Cultivation World.
Dongying and Shenzhou have been entangled in grievances for hundreds of years; both sides have a blood feud and wish they could annihilate the other. If Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng truly perished, Kamo no Tadayuki would very likely lead the Onmyoji and Ninja to invade Shenzhou.
That would be a catastrophe, even more cruel than that war eighty-some years ago.
The mountain formed by Yamata no Orochi simultaneously unleashing the Supernatural Ability of the eight elements had earth-shaking power, already touching the power of a Sixth Grade powerhouse.
The wisp of Chaos Breath sent out by Zhang Sanfeng flew over and collided with the mountain condensed by Yamata no Orochi.
"Boom! Boom!" The violent explosion was earth-shaking; at the center of the collision, space itself was torn into cracks, within which were terrifying Space Turbulence; even if a Grade 6 Cultivator entered the Space Turbulence, they would be cut into fragments.
Zhang Sanfeng's wisp of Chaos Breath and Yamata no Orochi's mountain both already contained the power of a Sixth Grade World Realm powerhouse; after colliding, they made the heavens collapse and the earth shatter, and the destructive power caused was even more terrifying than the explosion of two Mushroom Bombs.
At the center of the collision, the air for one kilometer around rippled like the surface of water, and the earth rose and fell as if in a magnitude-12 earthquake.
The Yasukuni Shrine was protected by an Array and barely survived, but the buildings around the Yasukuni Shrine suffered, collapsing in large swathes.
In this process, hundreds of thousands of Dongying commoners died in the aftermath of the battle; some were directly shaken to death, while others were crushed to death by collapsing buildings.
In Meng Yifan's Game Panel, a massive amount of Experience Value was collected once again; from the moment he entered Dongying territory, first it was the Mushroom Bomb bombardment, then the encirclement by the great army; every moment, a large number of enemies were eliminated, and the Experience Value on the Game Panel climbed step by step.
"Almost there. One more wave of shock, kill another one or two hundred thousand enemies, and I can advance to Fifth Grade High Tier." Meng Yifan looked at the Game Panel, his heart very excited.
Yamata no Orochi was too terrifying, even more terrifying than the Fifth Grade Peak Ao Bi'an; although it had not yet advanced to the Grade 6 realm, the unification of the eight elements meant it could be considered a Half-step Sixth-grade.
Fortunately, Yamata no Orochi did not have nine heads, otherwise, with the unification of nine elements, the world gathered would be even more real, comparable to the world of a Sixth Grade powerhouse.
Facing such a terrifying monster, Meng Yifan felt it was very tricky; if not for Zhang Sanfeng's sudden outburst, he would have been prepared to take Zhang Sanfeng and retreat first, fighting monsters and leveling up along the way, and only come to battle Yamata no Orochi after raising his strength to Fifth Grade Peak.
At the center of the collision, that wisp of Chaos Breath and that mountain were like two different worlds, colliding with each other and annihilating each other.
