Volume 5 Chapter 131
by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 131: Fox God Sorcery
A beam of light descended from the sun-wheel above Takamagahara, enveloping the White Night Cult Leader within it.
Within that radiance, his body began to transform, his humanoid form dissolving into that of a colossal beast.
A massive azure nine-tailed fox landed upon the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.
Though not as enormous as the grudge-born manifestation of the Azure Fox God, it was still larger than even a dragon in its fully unleashed true form.
Around the vast body of the azure nine-tailed fox swirled long ribbons of blue flame-clouds, while its nine tails lashed through the air, radiating overwhelming pressure.
“This is my true form, the Fox God Incarnation.”
The White Night Cult Leader cast down a gaze that looked down upon all existence.
“Bearing the bloodline and power of the Fox God, in this era, I am… the Azure Fox God itself. There shall be no equal in this world!”
In stark contrast, Xia Yi appeared exceedingly small.
With a mere lift of its forepaw, the colossal fox could crush her into nothingness.
“Your so-called ‘true form’ is even smaller than I imagined. The real Fox God is far greater than this, don’t think I’ve never seen it. And yet you, who have only just awakened the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox God, dare to call yourself invincible?”
Before him, Xia Yi showed not the slightest weakness in words.
Such defiance clearly enraged the White Night Cult Leader.
“Ignorant Silver Dragon, how dare you act so brazenly before a god?”
He roared in fury.
“Kneel beneath the might of divinity!!”
Whoosh!
The White Night Cult Leader unleashed the pressure of the Azure Fox God.
Takamagahara itself responded in sync with his emotions. The once-brilliant white sky was instantly swallowed by dark clouds, thunder roaring as lightning split the heavens. Divine beasts above the clouds howled in unison, shaking the world.
The pressure manifested as a tangible storm, ripping up the land. Celestial towers within Takamagahara were uprooted and hurled into the sky, crashing toward Xia Yi.
Xia Yi widened her eyes, activating the royal bloodline of the Silver Dragon. In the dimmed world, her pupils glimmered with a faint silver light.
“The Dragon King’s Pressure!”
She released the Dragon King’s aura to resist the Fox God’s overwhelming might.
Though the difference in realms struck her soul like a crushing blow, nearly forcing her to the ground, she endured, standing firm as she raised her hand.
“Holy Sword, Gram!”
Responding to its wielder’s call, the holy sword appeared in Xia Yi’s grasp. A golden slash cleaved through the falling structures, cutting them apart midair.
“For someone at your level to wield the pressure of a King-tier being… you are indeed unusual.”
The White Night Cult Leader tilted his head upward.
“But regrettably, before me, it amounts to nothing.”
“Fireball!”
In the instant he spoke, Xia Yi suddenly raised her hand. Seizing the moment while he basked in his own arrogance, she cast a spell without incantation restraint, launching a surprise attack.
Several massive fireballs materialized above his head and crashed directly onto the colossal fox, erupting into towering pillars of flame that engulfed his body.
However…
“Ridiculous. At least bring forth magic worthy of facing me!”
With those words, he shook off the flames as if they were nothing.
“Completely unharmed…?”
Xia Yi frowned.
He had taken the attack head-on, without even defending, and yet it had no effect.
After manifesting the Fox God’s true form, his physical capabilities had reached unimaginable heights.
Even if only a nascent Fox God, the power he wielded was already unparalleled.
This was bad.
Instant-cast magic, even with chant suppression, would no longer threaten him.
What now, close combat with the holy sword?
“…!”
Suddenly, Xia Yi sensed something strange.
From the very beginning, the White Night Cult Leader had not attacked her at all. After transforming, he had remained stationary.
He wasn’t simply talking… could it be…
He was gathering power to cast a spell!
The sky.
Her instincts as a Sword Saint screamed of impending death. She looked up to see lightning churning within the storm clouds, thunder energy gathering as if forging a blade of heaven itself.
Yes, this was the terrifying technique once used before her by the Fox God’s grudge manifestation,
“By the time you notice, it’s already too late.”
All nine of the White Night Cult Leader’s tails rose simultaneously, channeling divine power into the heavens.
“Fall, Fox God Sorcery: Ame-no-Murakumo Sword!!”
Brilliant azure lightning spread across the sky like a painted scroll, forming an endless sea of thunder. Countless bolts descended, spiraling inward, annihilating everything they touched into dust.
As the lightning converged, it formed an indestructible blade, capable of cleaving heaven and earth alike.
Xia Yi glanced around, everywhere was sealed by lightning. Escape was impossible.
This time, the White Night Cult Leader had truly resolved to kill her, unlike before.
“You have nowhere left to run.”
Pressed for time, Xia Yi could not chant. She could only rely on the holy sword.
She had faced countless foes deemed impossible to defeat. In such despair, she had always fought alongside her blade.
And this time would be no different. The Sword Saint would fight with everything she had!
“King’s Armor!”
Gripping the golden key, Xia Yi summoned the armor of the Human King, golden plates enveloping her body. Drawing in golden particles from the surroundings, she infused them into her holy sword.
The azure lightning condensed into a single beam, a divine blade descending from the heavens in judgment.
The golden Sword Saint swung her blade, unleashing a torrent of golden light upward to meet the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword head-on.
Golden radiance and azure thunder collided, sending out terrifying shockwaves that rippled through space.
The two forces clashed and annihilated one another repeatedly.
Xia Yi entered a state of perfect clarity, her heart like still water, maximizing her sword intent to amplify the power of her strike.
“Within the domain of Takamagahara, everything you do is meaningless.”
The White Night Cult Leader’s voice was as cold as frost.
The azure lightning shattered the golden light like glass, crashing to the earth and tearing the land apart, swallowing Xia Yi whole.
“Disappear beneath divine punishment, Silver Dragon.”
