Chapter 107 Yagami Great Sacrifice

"Let the Yin Yang Bureau people...."

Before Yoshihiro Shimazu could issue the order, the national prestige of Japan in Motoyama Castle was already boiling! The national prestige serpent appeared once again, letting out earth-shattering roars as it bit towards Takemikazuchi!

The national prestige was trying to suppress the giant god, even trying to reclaim it!

"Yukii Tokutomo Kage.... That magical power is truly vast. He doesn't even need to form a large formation. He can mobilize our country's national prestige with just his own power to block Takemikazuchi."

Yoshihiro Shimazu sensed the aura of this great Onmyoji who was casting the spell, and his originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Although he didn't know why those mountain gods and Takemikazuchi, these divine positions that should have been lost to the strange, suddenly appeared and attacked his own陣, Motoyama Castle had many strong people, and he, Yoshihiro Shimazu, was one of them. Now that this city had been captured from the Ming army, it was impossible for it to be taken back!

As the assistant to the current head of the Yin Yang Bureau, Yukii Tokutomo Kage was a strong person designated as the next head of the Yin Yang Bureau. He was a veritable great Onmyoji, and had obtained the true inheritance of the most powerful Tsuchimikado family among the Onmyoji.

Even if Hideyoshi Toyotomi didn't like these Onmyoji and even had them serve as cannon fodder to attract Ming country's lightning mages on the battlefield, the strength of these mages was beyond doubt.

The origin of Onmyoji can be traced back to the Yin Yang School of Middle Earth. Later, from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Prince Shotoku brought back a batch of scriptures from Middle Earth at that time. Soon, a monk named Kamo no Tadayuki created a咒術流派called "Shugendo," which could drive ghosts and gods. He was also the first "immortal" other than Xu Fu, the Emperor Jinmu. Before this, Shintoism, founded by Emperor崇神, mostly took the transformation of vengeful spirits as the ultimate cultivation, and this change was like the "ghost immortals" of Middle Earth.

Yukii Tokutomo Kage was now waving his hands, with more than a dozen talismans surrounding him, constantly rotating and releasing powerful magic. For a time, white light filled the sky around him, and dozens of paper doll shikigami appeared around him, cooperating with him to raise the lanterns and banners, seemingly performing some kind of sacrificial ritual.

The magical power of Onmyoji is displayed in only three ways: talismans, shikigami, and great sacrifices.

All magical power is displayed through talismans, all power is displayed through shikigami, and all vast and great power is displayed through great sacrifices.

"The reason for building this pond is for the sake of the people's lives. What kind of gods refuse to obey the Emperor's teachings?"

"Yatagami, Yatagami...."

The great Onmyoji was performing the sacrifice, and more one-horned serpent heads emerged from the national prestige! At this time, Yukii Tokutomo Kage sprinkled a handful of sand from his sleeve. These sands danced in the sky, allowing more one-horned great serpents to condense and take shape from the national prestige!

"Yatagami Great Sacrifice. Gods, slay the invading enemies, imprison, seal, and tear them apart!"

"What did you just scatter?"

"風土. The 風土of Hitachi Province."

Yukii Tokutomo Kage explained to Munenori Yagyu, "Yatagami is the legendary land god of Hitachi Province. After Kanpaku unified the country, the 風土 of Hitachi Province naturally became the 風土 of Japan. With the help of Emperor Jinmu, Yatagami was integrated into the national prestige. In times of crisis, they can be summoned by performing a sacrifice."

"At this time, they are the gods transformed by the national prestige, possessing the power of immortality."

Munenori Yagyu's expression shook. "Using the national prestige to drive the divine position? This... is unheard of. The national prestige can control the divine position, but how can it merge with them and use them as its own spears and blades for attack?"

"I've never seen this kind of situation before."

Yukii Tokutomo Kage smiled at this time. He was very young, but his face was unnaturally pale. His smile was quite eerie, like a monster with fox eyes wearing human clothes.

"That's natural, because summoning Yatagami is a very laborious task. Only a great Onmyoji can independently activate this sacrificial ritual."

"But the current Kanpaku doesn't like Onmyoji and even thought about abolishing us.... Really, if we are abolished, we will become rogue cultivators. If that's all, it would be fine, but they also want to eliminate the magical power in our bodies and prohibit the spread of our magic.... Kanpaku is fearful and resentful of our spells, and I am very clear about that."

"It's a pity, if it weren't for Kanpaku's ban, there should be many great Onmyoji now, and the Yin Yang path should also be flourishing."

Countless great serpents emerged from the national prestige. Munenori Yagyu looked outside. Takemikazuchi had already been pushed out of the city's range by several great serpents. At this time, he exerted force from the tips of his toes and jumped to the top of a high tower.

Takemikazuchi was pushed out of the walls of Motoyama Castle. It waved its lightning sword and repelled the national prestige serpent. This sword caused sand and stones to fly everywhere, and lightning and thunder to flash. All the earth and rocks on the city burst apart!

At the same moment, a pillar of fire soared into the sky from Motoyama Castle, visible even from a great distance.

A large number of demons patrolling and guarding the surrounding mountains began to return. The thirty-six Tsumiyama gods were fighting with the serpents transformed by the national prestige. At this time, those demons began to appear, surging from the left and right flanks of the mountain gods! Colliding together!

"Shoot, shoot with all your might!"

The archers and musketeers on the city walls fired fiercely. The baleful aura in the military formation roared, carrying the overwhelming tide of national prestige and the power of the Shinto priests protecting Motoyama Castle and the army. With the strengthening of multiple buffs, even the celestial gods found it difficult to resist the attacks of a large number of mortals, because these attacks would effectively weaken the divine power on their bodies.

"He's being forced back. It seems this guy is really powerful. I haven't seen him make a move before..."

Munenori Yagyu watched the situation from the top of the high tower. The gods who had come aggressively before had been beaten back by the fierce tide of attacks. Takemikazuchi also had no room to use his power. At this time, trapped in a serpent mountain composed of several great serpents, he couldn't even swing his thunder sword.

At the same time, the other Onmyoji had also arrived and joined the counter-siege!

The sun completely set, and night fell!

Six top Onmyoji, second only to the great Onmyoji, combined together and began to perform a strange sacrificial ritual! As they chanted, the lights swayed, the light and shadows intertwined, the shikigami entwined, and all kinds of wailing and crying sounds converged!

At that time, twenty-eight levels, all the prison lords, Yama, the six paths of underworld officials, bowing and making vows.

"Six Paths Underworld Official Sacrifice!"

As if the voices of six ghosts and gods sounded at the same time, six huge black phantoms suddenly appeared around Motoyama Castle. The six shadows held six underworld swords in their hands, and the deep death energy violently tore apart the divine power!

This was the power of curses! Among the thirty-six mountain gods, those who were hit by the death energy of the underworld sword immediately collapsed in form and spirit, and their aura completely disappeared. Only when they died did their divine tablets not appear. They came from nothing, and even when they died, they didn't leave anything behind.

However, such a large formation made Munenori Yagyu, the sword saint, couldn't help but feel frightened.

"No wonder Kanpaku is afraid of these Onmyoji. The sacrificial rituals they master are too dangerous. In serious cases, they can even threaten Kanpaku's life.... This kind of curse power can even kill gods, and if it is used in private, even the protection of the national prestige is useless."

He clearly saw that in the places where the death energy spread, even the Yatagami serpents transformed by the national prestige gradually collapsed. This showed that even with the protection of the national prestige, they still couldn't resist this kind of咒殺, which was very terrifying!

This was just the top Onmyoji. If it were a great Onmyoji, not to mention a mere Kanpaku, I'm afraid even the Emperor....

This disrespectful thought flashed through his mind. Munenori Yagyu shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts, and looked at the battlefield that had already gained the upper hand, sighing with some regret:

"It seems I don't need to go on stage....."

Rumble—! A giant claw suddenly descended from the sky!

It came and went without a trace, as if it had risen from the ground! Another giant god appeared!

The image of a tiger, boiling streams, and a sudden downpour from the sky!

The dust settled. This giant tiger god, who could only control water flow and weather, was lying on Motoyama Castle, and its huge tiger eyes looked at Munenori Yagyu from afar!

"Sanmo! What's going on? Isn't this the guardian deity that Kato Kiyomasa obtained from Korea!"

Munenori Yagyu jumped to another high tower, but the scene before him made him open his eyes in horror.

The divine position of the deceased Kato Kiyomasa, this was the guardian god obtained from Wangjing during the first attack on Korea. Kato Kiyomasa loved tigers, and one of Korea's guardian gods was a giant tiger, named "Sanmo."

The ability to control water flow and weather... According to legend, Sanmo was one of the first two primeval beast gods of ancient Korea. She protected the earliest ancient state of Biryu, and also controlled the Biryu River in the north. However, this ancient state was destroyed by Gongsun Kang, who came from Middle Earth at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Gongsun Kang was not even a mainstream warlord in Middle Earth, and later he was just a lackey of Cao Cao.

.......

The demons around the little Celestial Master had all retreated, rushing towards Motoyama Castle as if their lives depended on it. The little Celestial Master was also eager to know what was happening there. He dragged his tired body towards that side. The huge rumbling sound was endless. Finally, he saw a giant tiger god that had suddenly appeared, and he was very familiar with this giant god!

"Isn't this Sanmo! Could it be that Kato Kiyomasa has come!?"

The little Celestial Master's heart skipped a beat, but after looking carefully, the Sanmo god was attacking Motoyama Castle, which made him unable to understand!

Could it be that the Japanese army was in infighting?

"No matter what, now is a good opportunity to sneak in....."

"Now is not a good time to sneak in."

The sudden voice interrupted the little Celestial Master's muttering to himself. The little Celestial Master was shocked and immediately turned his head, his hostility spreading, and he had already pinched the few remaining talismans in his hand!

What appeared before the little Celestial Master was a black-clothed young Daoist, who looked about the same age.

"You... who are you? Korean? From the Divine Immortal Path?"

"What, do I look like a Korean?"

The black-clothed youth touched his chin, "I'm so handsome, how could I be a Korean?"

Then, staring at the little Celestial Master, as if looking at something that didn't exist, after a while, the black-clothed youth laughed:

"Not bad, not bad! I've finally found you, kid. You're quite good-looking, you have three-tenths of my handsomeness."

"Come on, call me Shibo Gong and let me hear it?"
