Chapter 379: The Fall

Above the Yasukuni Shrine, both Yamata no Orochi and Zhang Sanfeng erupted with World Power comparable to a Grade 6 powerhouse. The two different World Powers collided, causing the space near the Yasukuni Shrine to twist and deform, with Lightning and Thunder and sparks flying everywhere, as if it were the end of the world.

Three seconds later, that wisp of Chaos Breath from Zhang Sanfeng was completely annihilated, and one-fifth of Yamata no Orochi's Mountain World also collapsed. However, the vast World Power still surged violently, sealing off the space within a kilometer radius and rushing toward Zhang Sanfeng with unstoppable force.

Yamata no Orochi wanted to wipe out Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng completely; as long as it killed the two of them, it could go on to invade Shenzhou, and at that time, who would be able to stop it?

Zhang Sanfeng performed a secret technique, drawing out all the Blood Essence from his body. The old immortal, who had originally been ruddy-faced and possessed the bearing of a celestial being, suddenly became wrinkled and gaunt, standing in the void, tottering.

Zhang Sanfeng fused the crystalline, brilliant Blood Essence into the Taiji Bagua Diagram once more, then he flicked his large sleeve, and Chaos Breath billowed out, tearing open Yamata no Orochi's sealing force, wrapping around Meng Yifan, and throwing him ten kilometers away.

"Yifan, leave quickly, do not be reckless, endure humiliation to carry out important tasks, and come back for revenge once your strength is sufficient!"

Zhang Sanfeng let out a loud shout, and then the Chaos Breath on his body condensed into a sword tip, sharp and unstoppable, while the Black and White Grinding Disc Supernatural Ability became the sword body, indestructible.

Zhang Sanfeng was the wielder of the sword, his body following the sword's path, moving forward without hesitation; even if a real world stood before him, he would pierce a massive hole through it.

This sword strike gathered Zhang Sanfeng's Blood Essence—that was the Life Potential of a Fifth-grade Cultivator—and this strike also gathered the insights Zhang Sanfeng had cultivated for a thousand years into the Taiji Yin-Yang Great Dao, as well as his hatred for the Japanese pirates.

During that great war back then, the Japanese pirates committed monstrous crimes on the land of Shenzhou, crimes so numerous they could not be recorded; Zhang Sanfeng swore to avenge his fallen compatriots with his life.

Zhang Sanfeng knew that even if he erupted with his full strength, he might not be a match for Yamata no Orochi, but so what? In times of crisis, the land of Shenzhou has never lacked heroes willing to shed their blood and sacrifice their lives.

Furthermore, Yamata no Orochi's World Power was already crushing down; if Zhang Sanfeng did not block the World Power, Meng Yifan would also find it hard to escape death.

"Yifan, leave quickly, this master cannot hold on for long." Zhang Sanfeng shouted again, then threw caution to the wind, gripped the giant sword over ten meters long, and charged toward Yamata no Orochi's Mountain World.

"Master!" Meng Yifan was covered in tears, standing in the void, kowtowing three times to Zhang Sanfeng's back, then he performed the Lingbo Microsteps, leaving behind trails of afterimages as he fled rapidly toward the distance.

"Boom! Boom!" Zhang Sanfeng's giant sword and Yamata no Orochi's Mountain World collided once again; the massive sound of the collision was like a volcanic eruption, causing the mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

The leaked energy caused deep, bottomless pits to appear on the ground of the Yasukuni Shrine, and the buildings within a five-kilometer radius were completely destroyed; this area looked as if it had been struck by a meteorite, and in terms of destructive power, it was even more terrifying than a Mushroom Bomb explosion.

Two seconds later, the collision ended. Meng Yifan looked back and discovered that Yamata no Orochi had two of its heads severed, while Zhang Sanfeng's body had been completely blasted into fragments, and his head was held in the hand of Kamo no Tadayuki.

Onmyoji are most skilled at driving yin spirits. Zhang Sanfeng was a Fifth-grade Cultivator, and his Divine Soul was a priceless treasure to an Onmyoji; through secret refining methods, it was highly likely that a shikigami comparable to a Fifth-grade Cultivator could be forged.

"A little Japanese devil like you wants to refine this old man's Divine Soul? Bah, go to hell!" Zhang Sanfeng laughed loudly, and then his entire head exploded violently. Kamo no Tadayuki was shocked, and in the critical moment, his body flickered, and he shrank into the interior of Yamata no Orochi's body.

Zhang Sanfeng's final self-detonation blasted a three-meter-wide hole in Yamata no Orochi's body. Pitch-black blood sprayed out, and after landing on the ground, the buildings on the earth were corroded until they were riddled with holes, and those surviving Dongying people were instantly corroded into wisps of green smoke.

"Master!" Meng Yifan was devastated, his heart aching as if cut by a knife. He had not known Zhang Sanfeng for long, but Meng Yifan was immensely grateful to him; if not for his eighty-plus years of silently guarding the Demon Cave, perhaps the land of Shenzhou would have long since been plunged into a bloodbath.

Zhang Sanfeng's kindness to Meng Yifan was as heavy as a mountain; he had passed on the Taiji Yin-Yang Great Dao to him without reservation and had also given him many treasures.

Especially that Space Ring; if not for this Space Ring, even if Meng Yifan could travel between the two worlds, he would not have been able to bring fighter jets or Mushroom Bombs into the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World.

If not for this Space Ring, Meng Yifan might have long since died under the attack of Ao Bi'an.

"Go! Master cannot have died in vain. I will go on a killing spree, accumulate Experience Value, upgrade to Fifth Grade Peak, then return to the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World, break through to Grade 6 Cultivator, and then come back to wipe out Dongying." Meng Yifan vowed secretly; he would use the lives of all the Japanese pirates in Dongying to pay tribute to Zhang Sanfeng.

The reason Yamata no Orochi was able to erupt with such terrifying combat power was because it relied on the Faith Power of all of Dongying. It could be said that with Zhang Sanfeng's fall, all the Japanese pirates in Dongying were executioners.

The Game Panel judged all these people who contributed Faith Power as enemies; killing them would yield Experience Value.

At this moment, Meng Yifan's heart was filled with monstrous killing intent; even without Experience Value, or even if Experience Value were deducted, he would still kill madly. If he did not do this, he would be driven insane.

Zhang Sanfeng had fallen, Meng Yifan was fleeing, and Kamo no Tadayuki was taking Yamata no Orochi to hunt down Meng Yifan; this scene was broadcast to every household in Dongying.

Countless Dongying citizens cheered and jumped for joy, celebrating their victory. They believed that it would not be long before their invincible Yamatano Orochi would eliminate Meng Yifan. Although the casualties were heavy this time, they had managed to eliminate two terrifying Immortal Cultivators from Shenzhou, so the final victory still belonged to Dongying.

Inside the Dongying command center, the Prime Minister of Dongying delivered a speech, calling on everyone to continue praying to Yamatano Orochi and contributing Faith Power.

Although Yamata no Orochi had eliminated Zhang Sanfeng, it was also severely injured itself; two of its heads had been severed, and there were huge wounds on its body, with black blood flowing out continuously.

However, as the massive amount of Faith Power from the Dongying citizens poured in, the wounds on its body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even those two heads were growing back rapidly.

Yamata no Orochi was fighting on its home turf; it could be said that as long as there was endless Faith Power, it possessed an infinite source of energy and could fight above its rank. Even if a legendary Grade 6 Cultivator came, it would not be afraid.

Although Meng Yifan was very powerful, he could only flee in a sorry state before Yamata no Orochi.

In the Shenzhou command center, General Chu Yunlong saw this scene of Zhang Sanfeng's fall, his face pale, as if struck by lightning.

Zhang Sanfeng was the leader of the Shenzhou Cultivation World; he never expected that he would ultimately die and his soul would dissipate, dying in Dongying. This was a tragic loss for the land of Shenzhou.
