"I'm done, let's continue," Li Xianyu sat up straight and put on his gloves.
Iwasaki Emperor glanced over and saw a deep cut on his left arm. The cells in the wound were wriggling and slowly healing.
So, shouldn't he teach his henchmen a lesson in private after returning home?
"Ever since I heard about the Myriad Deity Palace, I've always had a question in my mind. Why is it that the number of Ancient Fey is neither too many nor too few, yet there are only nine of them?"
Li Xianyu wanted to say that there weren't only nine Ancient Fey, but nine of them were at the Ruler level. Ancient Fey was just a general term for creatures with special abilities in ancient times, but Iwasaki Emperor wasn't wrong. Why there were exactly nine Rulers?
"Later, when I heard you talk about that treasure, I suddenly felt that my conjecture might be worth thinking about."
Li Xianyu listened quietly.
"In the field of metaphysics, nine is the extreme number, it's an extraordinary number."
"You know metaphysics too?"
"Yeah, I'm an Onmyoji. In this chaotic world, what profession is more profitable than being a scammer or a prostitute?" The old man smiled and didn't seem to mind at all.
In this chaotic world, the reason why Onmyoji were so popular wasn't because they were scammers, but because there were too many people who died unjustly. Resentment filled the air and lingered around, so the business of Onmyoji was booming every day.
"Actually, in metaphysics, there are many principles that coincide with the rules of the Great Dao. Nine is the extreme number, no matter if it's a single digit, a ten digit, or a hundred digit, nine is the largest number." Iwasaki Emperor said, "Ancient Fey are creatures born from heaven and earth, and it just so happens that nine is the extreme number. Don't you think it's interesting?"
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be interesting." Li Xianyu nodded, "But I still don't understand what you're trying to say. If you're looking for someone to discuss dao with, I'm obviously not a suitable candidate."
Iwasaki Emperor paused for a moment, then came to a realization. This Li family's successor was just as the records said, he didn't know much about Buddhism, didn't know anything about metaphysics, and started from zero. It only took him half a year to reach half-step extreme dao.
Even for someone of his age, he still felt a sense of jealousy when he thought about it.
"You said that the Ancient Demons were willing to sacrifice their lives for the treasure.
They are clearly existences ranked at the extreme. What else is there in this world that is worth them being so crazy about? "Iwasaki Emperor asked.
Emperor Iwasaki's words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Li Xianyu's mind, allowing him to vaguely grasp something. He subconsciously asked, "Then, what could it be?"
"I don't know. After all, I know very little about the Ancient Yao and the so-called treasures. I can only speculate based on my experience and the information you revealed." Iwasaki Teijin said.
"Senior, you really deserve to be called a master. You are much better than the elders of our National Buddhist Taoist Association." Li Xianyu flattered without asking for money. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the Buddha's head and the old Taoist sweeping the floor of the Shang Qing Sect.
To this day, these two were the only ones he could not see through at the moment. The Buddha's head was a wise man who appeared to be slow-witted. He was a true enlightened monk. The old monk's way of doing things was hard to guess. The old Taoist who was sweeping the floor was even more mysterious.
To this day, Li Xianyu still remembered the two sentences he had given him: "Fate cannot be changed" and "Destined to be alone for life."
I feel that my fate in the future will be very miserable.
Regarding these two sentences, he held a skeptical attitude. Fate cannot be changed, but it is also unpredictable. Therefore, the sentence "destined to be alone for life" is not valid.
I have a harem, and I am the only one among the descendants of the Li family. How could I be destined to be alone for life?
I have already measured Zhanhime's strength a while ago. As long as I am willing, I can also measure Cuihua's strength.
As long as I am willing, Great-grandmother, I am sorry. Ancestors, please close the coffin. I was just joking.
"Let's put aside the speculation about the treasures. After knowing these secrets, what does senior think?" Li Xianyu's expression became more and more serious.
One must know that the big boss of the Tenjin Association was the Ancient Yao. Therefore, although the overall strength of the official organization was much stronger than the Tenjin Association, the Tenjin Association's high-level combat power was completely crushed by the Tenjin Association.
Emperor Iwasaki was very powerful. He was so powerful that sometimes Li Xianyu felt that he had even surpassed Ice Slag and Qin Ze. Perhaps he was the kind of person who could break through to the extreme dao at any time.
But it was not enough to fight against the Ancient Yao.
Therefore, Emperor Iwasaki's attitude was very important. If he was afraid and chose to avoid the Tenjin Association, then the follow-up plan of Li Xianyu would be greatly affected.
"Unparalleled Battle Soul is also here, right?" Emperor Iwasaki's expression was calm.
"Of course."
"That's good."
Li Xianyu clearly felt that Emperor Iwasaki's expression had relaxed a little. The old man revealed a relaxed smile: "Japan can choose not to participate in the battle between the Ancient Yao. Even if they participate, they cannot be commanded and controlled by the Ancient Yao. Because this is obvious, the Ancient Yao will not be benevolent to humans. They want to control Japan, but they only want to use the human Bloodline Descendants as cannon fodder. If they win, the people will be plunged into an abyss of suffering. If they lose, the Bloodline Descendants will be punished. This is not difficult to understand. "
Li Xianyu nodded.
"I cannot watch the tragedy of the Bloodline Descendants of Japan reappear. It was not easy for us to become strong, and it was not easy for us to regain our sovereignty. We cannot let it be destroyed in their hands."
This was Emperor Iwasaki's attitude.
The conversation ended here.
Li Xianyu got the answer he wanted, and he was generally satisfied. On the other hand, Emperor Iwasaki also learned more secrets, and his intention to expel the Tenjin Association was even more firm.
Then, their gazes fell on Kenichi Sugita.
The nominal leader of the Tenjin Association finally realized that the core of the matter had fallen back to him after listening to their nonsense.
"Tell me who the mastermind behind you is, and I can spare your life." Emperor Iwasaki didn't waste any time. Life or death, it was Kenichi Sugita's choice.
Perhaps knowing that lies wouldn't work here, Sugita Kenichi slowly lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he shivered and said, "I can't betray that lord! He's more terrifying than death! I can't betray him! I can't betray him!"
He seemed to have thought of something extremely terrifying, and his body began to tremble. "I can't betray him."
"There's really something wrong with this guy. It seems like we're inviting him into the trap tonight." Li Xianyu frowned.
Emperor Iwasaki shook his head.
After talking for a long time, the two of them understood one thing. Kenichi Sugita was holding a Hongmen Banquet in Kabukicho, and the one he invited was Emperor Iwasaki. But because of Li Xianyu's unexpected intervention, the Hongmen Banquet couldn't be held.
In Emperor Iwasaki's view, even if he was in danger, it wouldn't be a problem for a Onmyoji with countless means to escape. He was confident that he could escape even if a Politburo made a move.
The Hongmen Banquet was ridiculous.
At this moment, Li Xianyu sensed a familiar aura, an aura that he detested, and he warned, "Watch out!"
As soon as he said that, Kenichi Sugita raised his head, and a dark green substance covered his entire face. Even his hair was wrapped in it.
It was like venom in the movies.
The aura of a Politburo!
This aura was the same as the Battle God that he encountered in the Pantheon Shrine. It was Qing Shi's power.
Kenichi Sugita clenched his fist and brandished it. A deafening sonic boom resounded in the VIP room like a fighter jet flying past his ears.
But Emperor Iwasaki's reaction was even faster than Li Xianyu's. When the fist was just a centimeter away from his head, he raised a finger and gently tapped on his fist.
Li Xianyu didn't hear anything because his eardrums had ruptured at the first moment, and all that was left was a ringing in his ears.
A visible shockwave exploded between the two of them, and the four walls, ceiling, and floor of the VIP room collapsed at the same time. The shockwave carried bricks and gravel as it shot out in all directions like bullets.
Emperor Iwasaki glided in the air, while Kenichi Sugita fell into the next room.
The collapsed floor turned the next room into ruins with blood and flesh everywhere. The people inside didn't even have the chance to react before they were killed by the shockwave and buried under the floor.
"Die!"
Li Xianyu pounced into the next room and a white glow condensed on his right arm into a sword of qi.
Kenichi Sugita's eyes were bloodshot as he lost his mind. But facing the sword of qi, he didn't take it head-on due to his instinctive fear. Instead, he relied on his extreme speed to flash to the left of Li Xianyu and threw a punch at him.
Gluttony!
The black substance also covered Li Xianyu's face. Half of his body was covered in slime, and his left arm swelled to the point that his gloves and sleeves were torn apart.
Fist against fist!
A deafening sound rang out as the walls collapsed. The entire building shook. The men and women who were having fun in the club screamed and fled in panic.
They had no idea what was happening in the building, but they were familiar with this kind of tremor. Japan was a country that frequently had earthquakes, so they only treated it as an earthquake.
Slime was indestructible, so it was unharmed. However, Li Xianyu's body wasn't as strong and was sent flying by the punch.
He forcefully stabilized his lower body, twisted his waist, and borrowed the force from Kenichi Sugita. He spun 180 degrees and punched Sugita Kenichi's face, making him look like a kite with a broken string.
After half a year of growth, Li Xianyu wasn't as crazy as he was after activating Gluttony. He could temporarily suppress his emotions. As long as he wasn't immersed in the state of bloodthirst for a long time, there wouldn't be any problems.
After sending Kenichi Sugita flying, he calmed down and deactivated Gluttony.
Emperor Iwasaki took over and threw out a stack of talismans, which trapped Kenichi Sugita in a talisman array. Emperor Iwasaki then entered the array.
The talisman array formed a powerful magnetic field that immobilized Kenichi Sugita. At the same time, a dagger engraved with runes slid out from Emperor Iwasaki's kimono.
"Ding!"
The dagger stabbed into Kenichi Sugita's neck and broke into two.
Kenichi Sugita broke free from the shackles on his right leg and kicked at Emperor Iwasaki's face without any hesitation. However, what he kicked was only an illusion. Emperor Iwasaki had turned into a kite, and the kite was destroyed.
At the same time, he appeared behind Kenichi Sugita and threw dozens of palm strikes at the back of Kenichi Sugita's head, causing the dark green substance to tremble.
Kenichi Sugita's head was knocked back and the sound of bones breaking could be heard. Emperor Iwasaki was sent flying. His arms were twisted at a weird angle, and he could no longer control the talisman array.
Kenichi Sugita took the opportunity to break free from the shackles and stomped his feet in the air, creating a thunderous sonic boom. He pounced at Emperor Iwasaki like an arrow.
"Gluttony!"
Li Xianyu took over. His left arm swelled and the blood vessels on his bulging muscles lit up. This time, he didn't use his fist to block the attack. Instead, he grabbed Kenichi Sugita's wrist.
In the next moment, Sugita Kenichi's right arm quickly withered as a boundless aura surged over like a breached dam.
"After countless years, I finally see Gluttony again." Kenichi Sugita spoke in human language. It was hard to tell if it was a man or a woman.
"Qing Shi, we meet again." Li Xianyu's face flashed with madness. "Where is your main body?"
"Why don't you go and look for it?" Master Qing sneered. Amidst his strange laughter, his withered arm suddenly expanded, and he punched Li Xianyu in the chest.
Blood spurted out from his back. The fist had pierced through Li Xianyu's right chest. Qing Shi clearly knew that the left side of his body was indestructible, so he tried to break through from the right side and tear Li Xianyu in half.
"Let me see if your Healing Esper Ability can piece your body back together." Qing Shi sneered.
"Let me see how active your cells are. Let me see if you can reconnect your arm that was severed by the Sword of Qi." Li Xianyu also smiled viciously.
"Pfft!" Blood and flesh exploded.
At the same time, the sword of qi flashed and Kenichi Sugita's right arm was severed from the shoulder. The wound was covered in a layer of faint white light that burned his flesh and corroded his body.
Li Xianyu's right chest was damaged. His liver, stomach, and other organs were exposed to the air. His cells were wriggling crazily to heal the wound.
Both sides were injured.
Li Xianyu did not continue to fight with Qing Shi. He chose to retreat and let Iwasaki take over.
Although both of them were half-step into Extreme Grade, Iwasaki's combat power was comparable to that of Extreme Grade. On the other hand, it was not difficult for Li Xianyu to unleash Extreme Grade destructive power with his slime and sword of qi.
The problem was that their stamina was rapidly depleting, so they needed to take over and give each other some time to recover.
This was the difference between a peak half-step into Extreme Grade and a true Extreme Grade. It was not a difference in destructive power, but endurance.
Fortunately, it was not Qing Shi's main body. Kenichi Sugita was currently at the bottom of Extreme Grade. Qing Shi and Iwasaki could deal with him together.
The bones in Iwasaki's arms cracked as they reconnected. His injuries healed in a few seconds.
He was about to enter Extreme Grade. Li Xianyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Extreme Grade was the evolution of life. Stepping into Extreme Grade meant that one's life had evolved to a higher level and could no longer be considered a normal human.
The changes brought about by stepping into Extreme Grade were not only the endless vitality and stamina, but also the great increase in the activity of cells. It was equivalent to having a self-healing ability, although it was far from being comparable to the cell activity of the Ancient Fey.
Although it was not comparable to the cell activity of an ancient demon, it was easy to heal some superficial wounds.
The fact that Iwasaki could recover his broken bones in such a short time proved that he was very close to Extreme Grade.
"The Blood Esquire once said that Japan did not have any geniuses who had stepped into Extreme Grade. That meant that Iwasaki would stop at half-step into Extreme Grade. Now, it seems that the old man was hiding his strength. At this rate, Japan will have an Extreme Dao cultivator in five years at most. "
The ambition of Japan's Bloodline World was not small. One should know that the Bloodline World only had one Buddha head, and there were only four Extreme Grade Venerables in the entire world.
However, the Bloodline World was surging this year with a large number of geniuses. Not to mention me, Qin Ze should be able to step into Extreme Grade in five years. Li Peiyun was definitely at half-step into Extreme Grade. As for Dan Chenzi and Jiese, they were both Buddhists, so it was hard to estimate their progress. Perhaps they would not make any progress for many years, or perhaps they would be able to reach half-step into Extreme Grade after a moment of enlightenment.
The three of them rampaged through the building as they fought fiercely. The reinforced concrete building was like paper. Extreme Grade Venerables were known as mobile nuclear bombs. Although they could not unleash destructive power like nuclear bombs, the shockwaves from their fight were still terrifying.
Japan's buildings were generally earthquake-resistant, especially tall buildings like office buildings and skyscrapers. However, they still could not withstand the battle of three mobile nuclear bombs and were on the verge of collapse.
If it were some country's tofu dregs, the building would have collapsed by now.
Iwasaki Emperor was sent flying by Kenichi Sugita. Li Xianyu rushed over to save him, but the two crashed into each other and rolled in the air.
"Li-kun, it's time to let Senior Battle Soul take action." Iwasaki Emperor tightly grabbed onto Li Xianyu's arm. His face was pale, but it was not because he had suffered heavy injuries, but because he was exhausted.
Li Xianyu stared at the leader of the Japanese government in disbelief. The battle had only just begun and they had only warmed up, but he was already backing down?
"This is just the beginning. Don't you think this battle will be interesting?" Li Xianyu said.
Iwasaki Emperor was shocked. Although their battle strength was about the same, half-step into Extreme Grade was still half-step into Extreme Grade. A single mistake could lead to death in a battle between peak experts.
"You'd better not act rashly and fail miserably." Iwasaki Teijin warned.
"It's fine, it's fine. I've always fought like this." Li Xianyu expressed that he was already used to it.
"What kind of life did you have in the past?!"
Iwasaki Emperor didn't know what to say. He couldn't resist the urge to curse. He took out two paper talismans from his sleeves. "I have two substitute paper men here. Let's run."
"Old man, you're about to enter Extreme Grade. Are you going to miss this rare opportunity to train?" Li Xianyu looked at him with a serious expression.
"The problem is that I don't need to train. I just need to wait for a few more years and naturally enter Extreme Grade." Iwasaki Emperor replied with a serious expression.
"I have an idea."
"What idea?"
Li Xianyu suddenly made a move and pushed Iwasaki Emperor towards Qing Shi.
"Baka!" Iwasaki Emperor roared in panic.
"Trap him. Use your talisman formation to control him."
Li Xianyu also roared. "This is Kabukicho. If you run away, what will happen to the innocent people of Japan?"
"Are you sure he will attack innocent people?"
"I don't care."
Iwasaki Emperor cursed in his heart as he threw out another talisman. The bright yellow talismans burned and turned into balls of light. They evaded Sugita Kenichi's aura and quickly formed a formation to trap him again.
Iwasaki Emperor's face suddenly turned red and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Qing Shi snorted coldly. His muscles bulged as he tried to break free. But at this time, Li Xianyu swung his sword and cut off his left arm. "Slime, go!"
The slime transformed into a tentacle and wrapped around Qing Shi, making it impossible for him to break free for a moment.
A white sword ray descended from the sky.
There's nothing that can't be cut in half. If there is, then I can only call Great-grandmother.
