“Sing, Benihime…”

In that instant, Urahara awakened his Zanpakuto and immediately used the [Blood Mist Shield] to counter the divine attack.

Urahara Kisuke, as a Captain-level character (as set in the BLeACh world), possessed unfathomable spiritual pressure. In terms of foundation, he would be considered a Xiantian (innate) even in the Pili world.

However…

The majesty to look down upon the mortal realm, the power of a demon god appearing in the world, could not be stopped by one person alone.

The fully realized Abandoned Heaven Emperor’s (Qi Tian Di) single move, Divine Flame, was already the power of the extreme heavens.

If Urahara were to meet it with his techniques alone, everyone in the canyon would be finished.

The heroes in the valley understood this as well… therefore, at this moment, they all displayed their abilities, launching powerful ranged attacks one after another, attempting to resist the world-destroying divine might.

The Three Xiantian (Innate) standing above the canyon also raised their true energy again, using [Three Peaks Ascend] for the second time in a row, striking at the Divine Flame that was falling from the side.

Boom—

Energy collided in mid-air, exploding like a small nuclear bomb…

The shockwave burst out, spreading in all directions… stirring up waves of turbulent energy on the Musou Plains.

Finally… with the combined power of everyone present, they barely blocked the Abandoned Heaven Emperor’s move, managing a draw of sorts. Apart from a few people who were knocked off balance by the shockwave, most were still standing firm.

“Everyone without ranged attack capabilities, return to the Martial Arts Arena at your fastest speed! Others, gather in the valley, follow closely behind, and retreat while fighting!”

While everyone was still in shock, several loud shouts suddenly entered their ears.

It was none other than Feng Bujue who shouted this out.

“That’s right! Hurry!” Hearing this, Sima Yi was the first to react, and he continued, “Those who reach the Martial Arts Arena first, tell the String Leader (Xian Shou) and the others to stop fighting! Find a way to lure Orochi towards us!”

“Cough… cough cough…” Lonely Marquis (Ji Mo Hou) also coughed and said, “The remaining people… should hold back the Abandoned Heaven Emperor while advancing towards the Martial Arts Arena…”

Hearing this, most people understood. Brother Jue’s idea was actually easy to understand… with such a vast difference in power, they couldn’t possibly win, so they should find a way to let Orochi deal with him.

“Hold me back?” At this moment, the Abandoned Heaven Emperor’s voice came from above again, “…With just you?”

“Mr. Urahara, listen to me…” Feng Bujue ignored the Abandoned Heaven Emperor’s intimidation and quickly rushed to Urahara’s side. “Next… you will be the key to whether we live or die.” He paused for half a second and said in a deep voice, “If I’m not mistaken, the Abandoned Heaven Emperor held back some of his power in that [Divine Flame] just now. He should have calculated it… wanting to leave you with a breath.”

“Held… held back…” Urahara didn’t know who the man in front of him was, but he was really shocked by Brother Jue’s words.

“You are the only one who knows the whereabouts of the Hogyoku, and the Abandoned Heaven Emperor wants the Hogyoku very much, of course… it’s not like he absolutely has to have it. Therefore, he launched the attack with a mentality similar to ‘I’ll try to hold back, but if I accidentally kill you, so be it.’” Feng Bujue continued, “From this, we can know… as long as you exist within his attack range, he will not go all out. And we… can use this point to withstand his moves like we did just now.”

“I say… you guys should just run away, anyway, the one he wants to kill is me…” Urahara replied.

“No way.” Feng Bujue said, “You can’t die. You are currently the only bait we know of that can lure the Abandoned Heaven Emperor to act. The sooner we get the Abandoned Heaven Emperor and Orochi to meet, the more advantageous it will be for us!”

Urahara chuckled dryly and couldn’t help but complain, “Hey hey… you actually said ‘bait’ in front of me…”

Brother Jue interrupted him again, “In short… please quickly run towards the Martial Arts Arena with everyone. This terrain is too unfavorable, we can’t stay here for even a moment longer.”

While the two of them were talking, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Lonely Marquis had already organized the people at the bottom of the valley to quickly move to the top of the canyon.

At this time, the dead and wounded of the Orochi army who had been crushed by divine power and lost their ability to move had basically been blown away by the shockwave; and Daji and the remaining surviving demon generals had all fled without a trace when the Divine Flame appeared. Therefore, the members of the Super Dimension Army could safely climb to the plains on the south side of the canyon.

As for how they got up there… there’s no need to go into detail here. Anyway, some flew, some jumped, some climbed, each had their own way. In this other dimension, if you can’t even climb a canyon several hundred meters high, then don’t bother trying to make a name for yourself, just go be a grunt in the demon army.

“Trying to run?” The Abandoned Heaven Emperor’s eyes moved slightly as he muttered coldly.

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and divine power leaked out.

In the next second, the sky behind him actually began to collapse…

“What is he doing…” Some people who didn’t understand couldn’t help but ask.

“He is destroying the boundary of this other dimension…” Some people who understood answered the question.

Faced with this answer, the questioner naturally fell into silence…

“Mortals, no matter where you run, you cannot escape destruction.” The Abandoned Heaven Emperor said as he raised his other hand.

People familiar with Pili knew that when the Abandoned Heaven Emperor’s small hand appeared, it was time to send out lunch boxes (die).

“Divine Tempest.”

With a flip and movement of his palm, the divine move reappeared.

“Crap… it’s coming again!” Someone in the crowd had already shouted.

And this time, the Three Teachings Rogue (San Jiao Liu Mang) on the opposite side of the canyon was also out of reach.

Optimistically estimating… if this move hit them directly, the number of casualties in the Super Dimension Army should reach double digits.

“Tch… there’s really no way.” Zelgadis spat and turned around, then shouted, “Holy Mother of Mercy (Jing Liuli Pusa), please lend me a hand!”

“Hmm…” The Bodhisattva heard this and immediately understood. He instantly came behind Zelgadis, passing the power of the Pure Lotus Holy Dharma, using the Lapis Lazuli Mystical Method to protect Zelgadis’s whole body, and rapidly increasing his demonic energy in a short period of time.

“O source of the heart that roams between eternity and infinity… O all azure flames that exist here… please summon from the depths of my soul that power… from infinity to this place… and unleash judgment!” Zelgadis finished chanting the spell at the fastest speed and used his strongest move, “Ragud Mezagis (Blast Break) (the strongest offensive-type spirit magic, its power is comparable to Dragon Slave)!”

Boom—

A blazing white light burst open with a roar and cracks, and the battle between Divine Tempest and Blast Break began.

Spirit magic can be divided into wind, fire, earth, water, and the spiritual five elements, of which this strongest Blast Break belongs to the spiritual system. In the Slayers worldview, the power of magic is closely related to the user’s magic capacity, and Blast Break relies heavily on the caster’s ability.

Zelgadis is a synthetic human, with innate advantages compared to ordinary people (although the transformation of his body was not of his own free will), and he himself is one of the best magic swordsmen; back then, he used Ragud Mezagis (Instant Strike Spear) to amplify his Blast Break… and actually forced back the still-unformed otherworldly demon lord Dark Star.

And now, under the blessing of the Holy Mother of Mercy’s Buddhist holy power, the power of Blast Break was even greater than it was then.

It’s just… that the one he’s facing now isn’t Dark Star, but the Abandoned Heaven Emperor!

“Hmm?” The Abandoned Heaven Emperor was using about fifty to sixty percent of his power at this time, but he didn’t expect to actually be held back by the other party, so he immediately said another famous line, “Hmm… not bad.”

Before he finished speaking, he had already stopped destroying the space behind him and poured that remaining power into the hand that was casting the move.

In less than a second, the balance of power… was broken.

The overwhelming divine might of despair pressed down, completely swallowing the amplified Blast Break and chasing after the rear of the Super Dimension Army.

Fortunately, the Three Xiantian (Innate) also arrived in time at this moment.

“Nine梵Annihilation (Jiu Fan Mie)!”

“Dao (Tao) Extremity Mystical Void (Dao Ji Xuan Kong)!”

“Heavenly Wind Does Not Settle Dust (Tian Feng Bu Luo Chen)!”

Fo Jian Fen Shuo, Jian Zi Xian Ji, and Shu Lou Long Su, the ultimate moves of the Three Teachings appeared at the same time, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism connected the three energies, heaven and earth, yin and yang were harmonized, transforming existence into nothingness, and the ultimate divine tempest became void.

“It’s you three again…” The Abandoned Heaven Emperor said in a deep voice, “Heh…” In this second, he actually… sneered, “Very well… I will let you see what the difference is between the body of a god… and the divine consciousness carried by the Saintly Devil Fetus (Sheng Mo Yuan Tai).”

After saying that, the Abandoned Heaven Emperor crossed his hands, and with a movement of the [Wind and Thunder Dual Styles], thunder roared on all sides, and violent storms swept in all directions in an instant.

At the same instant, all that could be seen was…
