Volume 5 Chapter 124

Volume 5 + Chapter 124: I Am Invincible

The activation of Takamagahara requires the infusion of divine fox power.

Thus, from the very beginning, the White Night Cult Leader deliberately went to the Peach Blossom Sanctuary, gathering all remaining cult followers to serve as the initial fuel.

He made use of Bai Lian, cleverly seizing the residual divine power within the resentful spirit of the Azure Fox God, without suffering backlash.

His bloodline evolved, granting him the lineage of the Nine-Tailed Fox God, allowing him to control the Yasakani no Magatama and dominate the domain of Takamagahara.

Takamagahara is a domain that demands immense divine power to sustain. He intended to sacrifice the hundred thousand fox clan army here as its driving energy.

However, defeating these people was certainly not his ultimate goal.

The fuel required for Takamagahara must be far greater, an endless supply, so that it may expand without limit, until it covers every corner of the world.

So where would such fuel come from?

At this thought, a manic smile curled across the White Night Cult Leader’s lips.

“The Fox Tribe is a nation with tens of millions of foxfolk,” he said.

With such vast numbers, he would not need to draw upon his own divine power at all to achieve his ultimate goal.

To rule the world!

“You’ve completely lost your mind. What you’re doing is destroying the fox race!!”

Yue Liu gritted her teeth, her hand gripping the katana trembling with rage.

Now she understood why the Fox God had sealed away the Yasakani no Magatama, erasing the existence of Takamagahara.

It was because someone would eventually seek power at any cost, even dragging the entire fox race down with them.

“Destroying the fox race? How laughable.”

The White Night Cult Leader’s face was filled with disdain.

“Once I take full control of this world, I will become the one and only god, achieving a feat unmatched in the past or future, elevating the fox race to supremacy upon this land.”

“Countless innocent foxes will die because of your ambition!”

“To have their souls ascend to Takamagahara is their supreme honor. Besides, before a god, ordinary beings have no right to choose.”

“Someone like you, spouting such nonsense, you’re nothing but scum. You only gained the Nine-Tailed Fox God’s bloodline through despicable means. You are unworthy of being called a god!”

Yue Liu swung Sakura Moon, unleashing a massive arc of sword energy at the White Night Cult Leader.

He did not dodge, taking the attack head-on.

His body wavered slightly in midair, then steadied once more.

The sword energy left no significant wound upon him.

He had done it deliberately, to prove that he now stood far above Yue Liu.

“History is written by the victors. Do you really believe the Red Fox God you worship was flawless? She wasn’t. She was merely the winner, able to shape history according to her will. If she could do it, why can’t I? And I will create an achievement that far surpasses hers!”

The White Night Cult Leader raised his hand, and the solar disk of Takamagahara responded, radiating ever more dazzling light.

Light rippled violently around the sun.

“Mere firefly glow of rotting grass, how dare you boast before me?!”

The sun of Takamagahara, infused with Azure Fox God power, unleashed blazing white beams. Each carried a destructive force, covering the entire area in an unavoidable barrage aimed at Yue Liu.

Yue Liu sheathed the Sakura Moon once more. Empowered by the Nine-Tailed Fox God bloodline, her abilities surged as she unleashed the ultimate technique of iaido.

“Iaido Ultimate, Thousand Sakura Cataclysm Slash!”

With astonishing speed, she drew her blade, releasing countless slashes that wove together into an impenetrable net.

The storm of light collided with the sword net. Sword energy clashed violently with laser beams, explosions rang out incessantly. The shockwaves stirred chaotic currents, even evaporating the surrounding cloud sea as celestial palaces collapsed one after another.

For a full minute, the solar disk rained down beams while Yue Liu’s blade moved ceaselessly.

Yet even the tightest defense has its flaw, a single thin beam pierced through her body.

“Ugh… ah!”

The extreme heat robbed her of sensation, before blood could even flow, the wound had already been seared shut.

Though she adjusted her breathing at once and continued fighting, it created a small opening.

The White Night Cult Leader seized the opportunity, launching an overwhelming assault and inflicting further damage upon her.

Boom!

Like a kite with its string cut, Yue Liu was sent flying, crashing onto the ground.

Her vision flickered as she teetered on the brink of unconsciousness.

“No… I must protect… the fox clan!!”

The injured girl gripped Sakura Moon once more and forced herself back to her feet.

“What a pitiful struggle. It seems the divine power granted to you by the Red Fox God amounts to nothing,” the White Night Cult Leader sneered, admiring her battered state. “Surrender. I may consider sparing your life, this is the mercy of a god.”

“…I don’t accept it. I will never acknowledge that someone like you… can decide the future of the fox clan!”

“Once Takamagahara descends, I am already invincible.”

The White Night Cult Leader let out a cold laugh.

“Above and below the heavens, I alone reign supreme. Since you so desperately seek death… then I shall grant it to you!”

…

…

“Th-this… what is happening?”

Xia Yi’s breathing became erratic. Clutching her head, she nearly collapsed.

After Takamagahara descended, the eerie sun emitted hypnotic light. Her mental state began to distort, and she saw countless strange visions.

It was extremely similar to the illusion she had experienced when Bai Lian used the Fox God’s Eye on her.

Could it be…

“The White Night Cult Leader’s goal… is to create an illusion domain here?”

Xia Yi activated the Silver Dragon royal bloodline, yet she still could not resist the invasion of the illusion. Her mental defenses were steadily crumbling.

“Elly! Karami!”

She called out to the other dragons.

But they had already stopped moving, staring blankly at the sun of Takamagahara, completely falling under its control.

This won’t do. I have to do something.

The silver-haired girl moved forward, intending to find the little fox.

But after holding on for some time, she reached her limit.

“Inner demon!”

“Inner demon, come out, now!”

“I need you, hurry!!”

“What is it? Why are you shouting? Don’t call me for everything, you’re disturbing my sleep…” The voice of the inner demon echoed in Xia Yi’s ears.

But the moment it appeared, it realized something was wrong. Its tone immediately turned urgent.

“Xia Yi, what’s happening to you?”

“Sorry, I can’t explain everything… but please… go find Fox Radish… go help her…”

Xia Yi handed control of her body over to the inner demon.

The inner demon had not yet been affected by the illusion, it should be able to hold out for a while.

“Hey, Xia Yi!! What Fox Radish? What are you talking about? Who is that?! Explain what this is, Xia Yi…!”

The inner demon’s voice gradually faded.

Xia Yi felt her consciousness sink into darkness.
