Green smoke billowed, and a heatwave that was enough to melt steel hit them.
From time to time, the volcano would shake and erupt, causing the mountain to shake. Magma spewed out along with the falling rocks like the wrath of the heavens. This place had become a land of death, no longer suitable for any living beings to live.
In addition to the smell of burning sulfur, there was also an extremely twisted and strange force in the air.
Not to mention ordinary people, even some slightly weaker Yin-Yang Masters who were exposed to such an environment for a long time would be able to survive.
None of them were able to protect themselves. They were either devoured by poisonous smoke or lava, or twisted into irrational monsters by the strange power in the air.
However, this Land of Death was the highest point of Honshu Island, the active volcano Fuji. It was also where the main Onmyoji of Japan was stationed, sealing the Yamata no Orochi that was constantly recovering.
(* I'm really sorry, but the word "Honshu Island" in the previous chapter was written wrongly. The place where Orochi was sealed should be "Mount Fuji." It will be described as "Mount Fuji" in the future.）
Mount Fuji was a famous tourist attraction in the entire world-an active volcano.
The reason why it had become like this was because Orochi was entrenched here. Even though it had not completely awakened, the strange power it carried that could reverse everything constantly infected the ecological environment of Mount Fuji. It was as if it had unconsciously turned this place into a comfortable nest for itself. Under the corrosion of this subtle strange power, whether it was rabbits, deer, or other creatures, the forest at the foot of the mountain was completely destroyed. Wolves…other wild animals, flowers, and trees all mutated.
The fur on the wild animals had all fallen off, revealing their hideous blood vessels and muscles. Their beast eyes were bulging, and poisonous saliva dripped from their fangs. They all had an instinctive desire to devour other creatures.
They did not look like normal creatures.
In order to guard against these wild beasts that had been twisted and mutated by the Yamata no Orochi's power, the government had even deployed a large number of troops at the periphery of the forest.
At the same time,
on the mountainside of Mount Fuji.
This place had suffered the double blow of the dense poisonous smoke and the eruption of Mount Fuji. As for the strange power of the Yamata no Orochi in the air, there was no need to mention it. This place, which should have been devoid of any living beings, was the gathering place of the main Onmyoji of Japan.
The first thing that came into view was a barrier that covered almost half the village. Inside were large tents that looked like yurts as temporary camps.
The barrier was not of a regular shape. It was similar to the Seven-pointed Barrier that Yuan had released previously.
They were all pieced together by irregular mirrors, shielding all the dense poisonous smoke and the distorted power in the air outside. Even the occasional eruption of lava and falling rocks were completely unable to shake this place.
This powerful barrier was formed by the barrier experts sent by the Yin Yang Hall, Yin Yang Link, Yin Yang School, Earth Defense Sect, and other major Yin Yang Dao organizations.
Through the barrier, he could clearly see that there were many Onmyoji maintaining the barrier. Among them was [Lady of the Barrier], one of the Twelve Divine Generals in the Yin Yang Hall.
Inside the barrier, near the eastern side, there were seven or eight large tents close together.
The Yin Yang Masters of the Earth Imperial Sect were stationed here.
"Recently, the aura of Orochi's revival has become stronger and stronger. This is a dangerous signal. Astrology has lost its effect under the strange power of Orochi.”
In a relatively large tent, Tai Chun of the Earth Imperial Sect frowned as he looked at the compass on the wooden table. The stars and the Big Dipper were spinning chaotically on it. This was the result of interference from the outside world.
After observing for a few more breaths,
Tai Chun of the Earth Imperial Sect saw that he couldn't get any useful information from the compass. He couldn't help but sigh and pick it up. Then, he looked bitterly at the increasingly dense poisonous smoke outside. It was clearly very thin not long ago.
"I can't hold on any longer.”
The Onmyoji who had stayed outside thought that they were successfully sealed in Orochi. After all, the best proof was that Mount Fuji had yet to show any abnormalities. However, the truth was the opposite.
They had overestimated themselves and underestimated the terror of Orochi, a great monster that only existed in myths.
They had gathered almost 80% of the top Onmyoji forces in Japan, but all they could do was delay Orochi's recovery. What they were doing now was just drinking poison to quench their thirst. If this continued, Orochi would completely recover sooner or later.
Right now, there were all sorts of different voices in the Onmyoji colony.
Some people thought that they should give up this place
because there was no point in continuing to hold on here. It was better to go back and prepare for the big change.
Someone is holding fast to the rule,
even if it's just a little restricting, eight, seven, seven,
There were also people who believed that
…
as time passed, the number of different voices and opinions would only increase.
For them, it was undoubtedly a very difficult time to make a decision. Every choice had to be made with great care. If they made a wrong decision, they would be doomed. This was also why the higher-ups such as Tai Chun of the Earth Defense Sect, Hidegen of the Flower Garden, Arima of the Earth Defense Sect, and Kurahashi Genji were unable to make a decision.
"The current stalemate must be broken. Otherwise, the hearts of the people will slowly dissipate.”
Tai Chun of the Earth Imperial Sect muttered to himself with a slight headache.
It was easy to make a decision, but
the consequences of making a decision were completely unknown. No one could bear the consequences and responsibility.
However, if he did not make a decision, the situation would be even more dire.
Just as Tai Chun of the Earth Imperial Sect was thinking hard about this, he suddenly heard an incantation that was filled with dignity and solemnity. Divine runes that were even more ancient and profound than Sanskrit appeared around him.
"With the name of the master god in the Heaven's Defense, with the help of the powerful God's Hand, the evil miasma in this place is swept away…"
"This hand is not my hand, this breath is not my breath, this voice is not my voice. They all exist in Gaotian Plains. God's Hand, God's Breath, God's Voice…"
"The ten spirits of Budu, none of them are gods…"
"The mysteries of heaven and earth…
"
"Is this the God's Word of Heaven's Defense, Kuan Ying?"!”
When Tai Chun of the Earth Defense Sect heard the familiar voice, he immediately recognized it as his shikigami, the Earth Defense Sect's Kuan Ying. He was using the Earth Defense Sect's unique secret technique, the Heavenly Defense Divine Word, to break through the power seal of the Yamata no Orochi and contact him.
"He actually took the risk to contact me with the Divine Prophecy of the Heavenly Defense. Did something big happen in the Earth Defense Sect?”
Tai Chun's heart sank.
The Heavenly Imperial Divine Prophecy was a secret language that could not be used easily in the Earth Defense Sect. It was good if it succeeded, but if it failed, it would be cursed as if it was blasphemous. In serious cases, it would die in the painful curse. Based on his understanding of the Earth Defense Sect's wide eagle, if it was not something big that had really happened, it would definitely not use the Heavenly Imperial Divine Prophecy to contact him.
Soon after,
Tai Chun of the Earth Imperial Sect also chanted the Heavenly Imperial Divine Prophecy. He used this to attack Orochi from both inside and outside to break through its power blockade and ensure the success rate of the Heavenly Imperial Divine Prophecy.
"With the name of the master god of the Imperial God, I borrowed the powerful God's Hand to sweep away the evil miasma. This hand is not my hand, this breath is not my breath, and this voice is not my voice. They all exist in Gaotian Plains. God's Hand, God's Breath, God's Voice, the Ten Imperial Spirits of Budu have no gods, the mysteries of heaven and earth!”
"--
In an instant, there
was a crack!
The power seal formed by the Yamata no Orochi was successfully broken by the two-layered divine words. An illusory figure appeared in the tent. It was the Earth Imperial Gate Hirohawk.
"Phew!"
Tai Chun of the Earth Defense Sect heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He then asked Kuan Ying of the Earth Defense Sect,"What exactly happened to Vast Eagle? Why did you use the Divine Word of Heavenly Defense? Could it be that a great demon attacked the Earth Defense Sect?!”
---Attacked by a big monster.
This was the first possibility that Tai Chun of the Earth Imperial Sect thought of.
Earth Defense Sect's Kuan Ying shook his head and denied Tai Chun's guess because what happened in Earth Defense Sect was far more serious than this. Then, he didn't keep them in suspense and said bluntly,"Patriarch, something happened to the ghosts sealed in our Earth Defense Sect. The ancient sealing array was torn apart by the ghosts.”
"…The former ghost and the latter ghost have broken through the seal?!!!”
Tai Chun's face turned pale. He had not expected this. Although he knew that the two ghosts sealed in the Earth Defense Sect were time bombs that would explode sooner or later, he did not expect it to happen so suddenly. There had been no signs before he came to Mount Fuji. However, now was not the time to think about this. Tai Chun quickly said,"Hirohawk, tell Natsume Natsume to activate the barrier of the Earth Defense Sect's mansion and trap the ghosts inside. We can't let them leave the Earth Defense Sect, or the outside world will be in danger.”
"Quickly inform the Yin Yang Company, the Yin Yang Hall, and the Yin Yang School. Tell them the seriousness of this matter and ask them to send people to suppress it…"
"Also, evacuate the residents of Sanhe Town. The barrier of the Earth Imperial Sect's mansion is indeed extremely strong, but just in case…""
…"
One order after another came out of Tai Chun's mouth. He spoke very quickly, not giving the Earth Imperial Sect's Kuan Ying a chance to speak at all. However, one could see how anxious the head of the Earth Imperial Sect, Tai Chun, was.
"…Vast Eagle, quickly give the order.”
Seeing that Kuan Ying of the Earth Defense Sect was unmoved, Tai Chun of the Earth Defense Sect couldn't help but become anxious.
