Chapter 176 Erasure

In that instant.

Divine banners blotted out the sky!

Eighty thousand illusory heavenly demons plunged into Xu Fu's body! Xu Fu's eyes were instantly tainted by demonic energy, his mind shaken, countless demonic sounds echoing in his ears, arising from the depths of his heart, impossible to erase from the depths of his desires!

Deafening sounds echoed in his ears!

"Thank the culpable heavens, eliminate the demonic aura."

"Jade Purity Hidden Book, Lesson Thirteen."

"Chapter of Elimination!"

The divine banner fluttered, forming a world of its own, transforming into a demon-suppressing realm. That realm swallowed an entire region, black walls like iron prisons forming a separate world.

Xu Fu was suppressed by the Dust and Toil Great Sin Subduing Demon Divine Banner and swallowed directly!

Even Toyotomi Hideyoshi was almost affected by this attack.

However, he had already fled when he reminded Xu Fu, and the target of the divine banner's attack was only Xu Fu and not him, so he was able to escape with his life!

But this also filled his heart with shock and anger.

He was shocked that he, as an existence above the level of a quasi-immortal, far surpassing the Pure Yang realm, and arguably a step closer to a false immortal, was actually being treated like an ant on the battlefield at this moment. He was angry that he was not even being noticed by the other party!

Not even a single glance! In fact, Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt boundless demonic energy from that giant divine banner, but for some reason, a huge warning sign rose in his heart the moment he saw the banner, as if as soon as he approached it, he would be "subdued and refined"!

That demonic energy was not meant for him to absorb, nor was it meant for those demons to devour as food.

That demonic energy was not some unorthodox method, nor was it a treasure that could be used by demons!

That demonic energy was meant to subdue existences like him who still retained the characteristics of demons and deities!

"Emperor Jinmu… may you find fortune! This junior really has no way to find an opportunity to intervene in this battle!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt his own helplessness. This was not an excuse to flee the battlefield, but what he truly felt, and even despair gradually filled his heart.

If he could not defeat the Ming Dynasty… no, he could not defeat them now. The so-called victory was just a compromise, which was to occupy the southern part of the Korean peninsula. This would expand his territory and allow him to take the final step towards the ascension of the Divine Kingdom.

Although there were alternative methods, Toyotomi Hideyoshi still favored this method the most. It was a pity that Emperor Jinmu did not seem to think this matter could succeed, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt somewhat dissatisfied.

And if he could not ascend.

In that case, even a powerful false immortal coexisting with the nation would still be inferior to a true immortal or a pseudo-immortal!

Yes, not only inferior to a true immortal, but even a pseudo-immortal! Toyotomi Hideyoshi even thought that if he could not ascend, he might as well become a pseudo-immortal like Xu Fu, but just now, he had personally witnessed Xu Fu controlling those important false immortals who served as nails for the Divine Kingdom, sending them flying to the Heavenly Gate, where they died and their immortal power was integrated into the national fortune.

This was no longer the attitude of a lord towards his vassals, but rather the two sides were never on the same footing from the beginning, clearly the relationship between an emperor and his slaves!

At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had already realized that there was no way Xu Fu would allow him to become a pseudo-immortal.

A pseudo-immortal, in this world, there could only be one person! That was Xu Fu, that was his Emperor Jinmu!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt depressed.

It was at this moment!

Xu Fu's voice resounded from the deepest part of his heart!

Rumbling and booming!

"There is indeed no room for you to intervene in this battle! Nor do you need to intervene!"

"As my important pawn, you must not die innocently here. Retreat! I am not so easily refined by this thing!"

.......

Boom! The divine banner had already taken Xu Fu into it, but at this moment, a change occurred! The banner shook violently, and Xu Fu transformed into a stream of heaven and earth origin energy that surged out from it, gathering on the ground. His body was still entwined with rolling demonic energy, which tried to refine him, but failed!

"I am the lord of the Divine Kingdom! Do you think you can kill me with just eighty thousand heavenly demons! At least eight hundred thousand!"

Xu Fu roared, believing that this kind of magic could not easily kill him, the divine sovereign!

But within the dust clouds surrounding Osaka, a black shadow moved. The black shadow with a dozen extra arms struck towards Xu Fu with its jade-white arms like a torrential storm!

Another series of heavy blows!

The demonic energy on Xu Fu's body dissipated, and the demonic fire was extinguished, which should have been a good thing, but even the Qi Refining power he used to escape was completely torn apart by the dozen or so jade-white hands!

One punch, two punches, three punches, four punches…!

The black shadow with a dozen arms could not be seen clearly in the dust clouds, but its fists were unstoppable, and each blow had the great power to severely damage all methods in the world!

Xu Fu's false immortal foundation was severely damaged again, and the national fortune began to flow out of his body again, which made him furious and roar!

"You want to destroy all my methods, then I will destroy all your methods too!"

"Ama-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi!"

A pitch-black iron sword appeared in Xu Fu's hand, simple in style, but engraved with extremely twisted and strange inscriptions. This was the real Ama-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi, an ancient immortal artifact, and blessed by the entire nation, not a fake transformed from the Qiongqiong Chupizun deity! This sword strike could break all methods!

The jade-white hands that destroyed all methods, the Heavenly Venerate-level divine power "Transformation into a Divine General," now faced the Ama-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi, which could also destroy all methods. The two sides did not compare spells, but only measured power!

With one strike, the Ama-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi emitted a violent hum, and cracks also appeared on one of the jade-white hands, clearly visible. Xu Fu was overjoyed and ridiculed, "Heavenly demon! You have the immortal method of summoning a Heavenly Venerate, but it seems that you cannot use it freely!"

"A mere form and spirit transformed from an immortal method, can it compare with my genuine divine kingdom immortal artifact? This immortal artifact is not the same type as those immortal artifacts you took away in the past. This is a national weapon that also has the characteristics of a 'seismic device'!"

"The sacrifices and desires of a nation's people symbolize the highest spirit of a country. How can a mere immortal form and spirit compete with my national weapon that has reached the realm of 'harmony between heaven and man'!"

Second sword, third sword, fourth sword…

The Ama-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi vibrated more and more frequently, and the cracks on the jade-white hands also increased! The results of the two sides fighting here began to appear. The spiritual energy in the surrounding land flowed away violently. The era was already entering the threshold of the end of days, and the Osaka area was completely reduced to a "forbidden land"!

Apart from the power of immortality that could still be used briefly, even Toyotomi Hideyoshi discovered that the magic power in his body was being restricted and even lost!

He was so frightened that he fled far away, completely daring not to stay here, and the Buddhist formation used for defense under Osaka Castle suddenly collapsed into dust, and all the Buddhist power operating within it was erased!

Powerful spells are certainly terrifying.

But to wipe out all methods, even completely erasing the spiritual energy of a place, turning it into a forbidden area, this is true terror! Cultivators will also be reduced to mortals, like lambs to the slaughter!

Xu Fu kept a close eye on the situation. The two sides fought to the twenty-second move. Dense cracks also appeared on the Ama-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi, and only two jade-white hands were still relatively intact. Before the next sword could be stabbed, the surrounding spiritual energy had been completely wiped out, and the situation looked very unfavorable for Xu Fu.

"How can a Qi Refiner fight without Qi?"

Ji Xiang's voice came from the dust cloud, but Xu Fu smiled strangely and said, "All the laws of heaven and earth are useless! Your death is upon you!"

"Penglai Immortal Technique, Heavenly True Nine Qi!"

Xu Fu's clothes shook, and each of his nine orifices produced a Qi!

These nine Qi circulated, forcibly plundering Ji Xiang's aura from the dust cloud!

"How can you imagine the methods of the Pre-Qin Qi Refiners! Mixed Qi, Cave Qi, Bright Qi; Min Qi, Scene Qi, Escape Qi; Melt Qi, Flame Qi, Evolve Qi! In ancient times, heaven and earth had the three Qi of Beginning, Origin, and Mystery. Each of the three Qi gave rise to three more Qi, hence the Nine Qi!"

"As long as you master one of the three Qi of Beginning, Origin, and Mystery, you can generate the Nine Qi Technique, stealing other people's Qi for your own use! Your vitality is about to dissipate, what else do you have to say!"

Xu Fu felt confident that he had the victory in his grasp. He felt a constant stream of Qi entering his body…?!

Blood suddenly spurted from his seven orifices, and Xu Fu's pupils trembled violently. At this moment, a large number of swords struck towards him from the dust cloud!

Ji Xiang revealed the form and spirit of the Great Saint who slays demons. His face was pale, his eyes were narrow and ferocious, he had more than a dozen arms, wore a purple robe and a gold belt, a crown on his head, and was surrounded by a fierce aura!

"Heaven and earth have the three Qi of Beginning, Origin, and Mystery. If the Qi Refining technique mainly cultivates Origin Qi, then my own aura…"

"It originates from the Heaven of Azure Beginning, above the Jade Firmament!"

In a panic, Xu Fu used the Ama-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi to resist. The two divine swords clashed, and the power dissipated into nothingness, but immediately afterwards, the Heavenly True Nine Qi surrounding Xu Fu was suddenly completely wrapped by a white mist, and then devoured like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds!

A large amount of white smoke dissipated, and then returned to the dust cloud like clouds gathering and roaring!

Xu Fu understood the situation in an instant, and his face changed drastically!

"Self-generating Beginning Qi! You are not a heavenly demon enlightened by the Primal Lord, you are actually a god born from heaven!"

He had spent two thousand years creating a "man-made heavenly god" in whom heaven and man were in harmony, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

But before his eyes was actually a god who was born in harmony with heaven and man, a god born from heaven!

Xu Fu gritted his teeth, his eyes full of gnashing rage! However, his expression changed in an instant to one of shock!

"What Dongfang Shuo said was actually true!"

After saying this, a comma-shaped jade appeared in his hand, and the green light flowed, instantly causing the world to change color. In an instant, the mountains and rivers were reversed, and in the blink of an eye, heaven and earth repelled each other!

Ji Xiang and Xu Fu instantly moved a great distance away from each other from their fighting state, like magnets repelling each other! Ji Xiang thought that there would be some divine power, and quickly tried to stop it, but Xu Fu's face was pale, and he roared out, his words actually being:

"Yata no Kagami!"

"Escape!"

The vast green light turned in an instant, filling the world! In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot, gone without a trace like smoke!
