"Beast, think you've secured victory just by wielding this toy?"
Luo Yu let out a disdainful sneer, showing no panic as he undid his Three Heads and Six Arms.
He raised his hand toward the void, and the Ancient Zhuxian Sword appeared instantly.
"Buzz!"
The Zhuxian began to tremble and hum on its own the moment it appeared, even before Luo Yu could urge it.
Endless killing intent boiled up, turning the surrounding world a blood-red color in an instant.
Tumultuous seas of blood rose in the void, with countless ferocious spirits churning within them.
They were the souls of myriad ancient gods and demons that had fallen silent within the Zhuxian.
Luo Yu was surprised; he had not expected the Ancient Zhuxian Sword to stir and unleash such vast power upon seeing the Island Country's Shiquan Sword—as it was beyond his current capabilities.
As the Zhuxian vibrated, Luo Yu merged with the sword in body and mind, understanding instinctively.
He slashed out, and sky shattered and earth split, as a tremendous blood-red sword light appeared in the heavens.
As if intending to completely slice the firmament asunder.
Amaterasu's eyes twitched, "Is this... Zhuxian? The first slayer under the Heavenly Dao?"
"How could they not have taken Zhuxian away?"
"It couldn't have been left behind."
Upon seeing the Ancient Zhuxian Sword of ancient civilization, Amaterasu's expression changed.
As if he had once witnessed this sword slaughtering countless gods.
The Yamata no Orochi propelled the Shiquan Sword to counterattack, slashing out with a white sword light.
"Crack!"
The white sword light was utterly no match for the might of the Ancient Zhuxian Sword and was instantly split in two.
The vast blood-red sword shadow came slashing down overhead.
"Splurch."
Two of Yamata no Orochi's heads were brutally severed by the sword shadow, and the killing intent it contained eroded the serpent's spirit, casting its eyes into madness and causing it to twist violently.
"Sizzle—"
Purple-black blood spurted forth like a fountain from the two severed necks, adding a shade of purple-black to the bloodied sky.
At this moment, Amaterasu scoffed coldly.
In an instant, the entire Divine Realm erupted with dazzling, scorching sunlight, compressing the blood-red aura of the Zhuxian bit by bit and forcibly helping the Yamata no Orochi shake off the suppression of the Zhuxian.
"Heh."
Luo Yu knew the Island Country's bird-men would not speak of martial virtue, swinging his sword directly at them.
The Yamata no Orochi spat the Shiquan Sword from its mouth, blocking crosswise.
"Clang!"
The jarring sound of metal on metal rang out as the two swords struck sparks and thunder.
Luo Yu gripped his sword with one hand and in an instant, he swung and slashed at least a hundred and eighty thousand times.
So swift it reached the extreme, too rapid for ordinary people to see clearly, leaving only countless afterimages streaking and slashing through the void.
The sound of hammering iron resounded through the void, the abrasive noise made even the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters involuntarily cover their ears.
The enormous rebounding force caused his palms to bleed, while the Yamata no Orochi fared little better, retreating step by step from the attacks, the other five heads dared not come to aid, fearing they might enter the reach of Luo Yu's sword light.
If it weren't relying on the Shiquan Sword, it would have been utterly wasted by Luo Yu's strikes.
However, the serpent's tongue which was flicking the Shiquan Sword was already cracked inch by inch, shedding blood constantly.
The flesh of the Yamata no Orochi was rapidly healing, but Luo Yu's healing was much quicker, by many multiples.
Wounds from the shock would soon return to their original state.
"Unite the Four Swords!"
Luo Yu shouted coldly, unleashing a heavy and powerful slash forward.
He couldn't unleash the full power of the Zhuxian currently, but with all four Zhuxian Swords combined, the additive might should not be underestimated, delivering a blow that surpassed the limits of power.
"Boom!"
The colossal impact noise at that moment caused the island to tremble and fracture, waves nearly materializing in the space.
Luo Yu and the Yamata no Orochi were both knocked away by the tremendous recoil.
The Shiquan Sword was flung from its mouth.
The reason being its tongue had reached the limit of endurance, completely breaking, and the Shiquan Sword was cast out as a result.
Amaterasu's pupils constricted, because he saw that the blade of the Island Country's divine artifact, the Shiquan Sword, had developed countless notches—not there before, clearly cleaved by Luo Yu's sword.
"My Island Country's divine artifact, the Shiquan Sword!!!"
Amaterasu was deeply pained, for he never expected that even with the divine power of the Yamata no Orochi, the Shiquan Sword could not withstand the Ancient Zhuxian Sword from Great Xia.
Seeing the Shiquan Sword flung aside, Luo Yu did not continue to deal with the six-headed Yamata no Orochi, but instead chose to rise and chase it down and, before Amaterasu and the Yamata no Orochi could stop him, aimed for the Shiquan Sword and ferociously struck it.
He had no concern whatsoever that the Ancient Zhuxian Sword might suffer any damage.
Joking, how could a top ancient sword from Great Xia possibly be damaged by a divine artifact from the Island Country.
"Clang—"
Following a crisp and pleasant sound, the Shiquan Sword was split open by a single strike, scattering to both sides.
"Roar!"
Yamata no Orochi let out an angry roar, six heads and twelve pairs of snake eyes emitting a gaze filled with rage and hatred.
"Roar your mother!"
"The sword is already broken, and still you try to show off."
Luo Yu raised the Ancient Zhuxian Sword and drew a cut across his palm, his blood soaking the blade's edge.
Blood Sacrificial Sharpening Technique.
The Power of Myriad Transformation Dao Induction hidden in Luo Yu's blood significantly augmented the Slay-Immortal for dealing with beings like Yamata no Orochi that had received the Source of Divinity.
Quickly executing slashes, countless trails of blood-red sword light appeared in the void.
It was visible that amidst the sword light, the body of Yamata no Orochi was wounded by the sword qi, full of holes.
The six snake heads were chopped off successively without any mercy.
Luo Yu was filled with a killing intent, having gone completely mad with the urge to kill.
The entire Yamata no Orochi became a headless serpent, but its body still writhed continuously.
Luo Yu frowned and quickly flashed behind Yamata no Orochi.
Facing the nine wildly thrashing tails, Luo Yu didn't hesitate, chopping down with one sword strike after another.
Stunning blood-colored sword light drew perfect arcs in the void, completely overwhelming Yamata no Orochi.
In the end, the huge headless and tailless body fell powerlessly, crushing countless fragments of small islands.
"Yamata."
Amaterasu frowned, seemingly not expecting Yamata no Orochi to lose so quickly.
"Your dog died, and you didn't even try to save it?"
After dealing with Yamata no Orochi, Luo Yu directed his sword tip straight toward Amaterasu.
Amaterasu sneered, "It died because it was too worthless, deserved death, what is there to save?"
Truly heartless.
Luo Yu shook his head, not fond of such behavior.
Perhaps the gods from outside lands prioritize their own interests.
But the ancient gods of Great Xia were certainly not like that.
"I've already seen through most of your trump cards, nothing impressive. Prepare to die."
Amaterasu seemed to transform into the sun in the sky, emanating a rich and scorching aura of might.
A sun mark appeared on his forehead.
With hands forming a triangle, a scalding triangular beam of light surged towards Luo Yu, piercing through him in an instant.
"Boom!"
Luo Yu managed to block in time with his sword, but he was still knocked flying away, his internal organs feeling as if they were displaced by the impact, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, cursing inwardly that Amaterasu was much stronger than Yamata no Orochi.
"Brother Yu!"
The Zhu Zhuqing Sisters took action together, attacking Amaterasu.
Unsurprisingly, they were blasted back, unable to pose any threat to Amaterasu.
"Zhuxian Formation, arise!"
Luo Yu split into four swords, throwing them into the void, anchoring the four directions of southeast, northwest.
A vast surge of sword light arose.
The entire Slay-Immortal Sword Array was unpredictable and fog-filled, yet imbued with a bloody, murderous aura.
In the instant the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters flew out, the Slay-Immortal Sword Array immediately enveloped Amaterasu.
"Slay-Immortal Sword Array?"
Amaterasu's face was grave.
As a god who had existed from ancient times, he naturally knew of the first killing formation under the Heavenly Dao, the Slay-Immortal Sword Array.
However, seeing the rising sword light within the formation, Amaterasu felt a little relieved.
"Begin!"
At Luo Yu's command, the entire sword array operated, erupting with a massive amount of powerful sword light.
Amaterasu stroked the void with a giant hand, that immense palm covering all directions, carrying the momentum of this realm to suppress the Slay-Immortal Sword Array.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The giant palm of Amaterasu was pierced with countless holes, but the sword array also showed signs of being flattened.
Ultimately, the one who activated the sword array had too low of a cultivation level; otherwise, Amaterasu wouldn't dare to fight, would first seize the opportunity to flee.
