Chapter 489 - 489 Hydra's Advancement

489 Hydra’s Advancement

Orochi roared madly. It had been standing in this realm for too long, so long that it had lost interest in the world. It had been so long that it had become the protector beast of the Xiaori Country.

Did it really want to become the Xiaori Country’s sacred beast protector? No, no, it was just that after hundreds of years, it had become complacent and wanted to live a comfortable life.

However, at this moment, it saw the hope of advancing to the next level. With the power of faith, it could definitely open up the opportunity to advance. As long as it had this opportunity, it had a chance to leap into a new level in one fell swoop and become a true top expert.

In an instant, in the space of Orochi’s consciousness, the pure white light of faith was reduced. After that, it felt an unknown power being transmitted over from an unknown place, causing the power in its body to gradually fill up.

Heaven and earth seemed to sense it. For a moment, the world became gloomier. This was not the dark clouds caused by the wind, rain, and lightning controlled by the Orochi. Instead, it was the gathering of tribulation lightning in the world. It wanted to teach this heaven-defying hydra a lesson.

This wasn’t a heavenly tribulation, it was a heavenly punishment!

Orochi didn’t care at all. No matter if it was a heavenly tribulation or a heavenly punishment, it would take what was handed. As long as it had a chance to improve, even if it died… It doesn’t matter even if it was heavily injured and no longer the country’s sacred beast, it wanted to advance!

Let this storm come more violently!

Lin Xuan and Li Rui stood at the side and looked at Orochi gloating. The eyes were gloomy, but they did not have any other solutions for the time being. If Orochi really completed its breakthrough and became that nine-head hydra, it would not be easy to deal with. Well, it would just take a longer time to kill it. Lin Xuan would not be able to kill it with a few moves at this rate.

Of course, if it did not break through, it would not have a future.

“What do we do?”

“What can we do? We can only wait!”

Lin Xuan felt a little helpless at this moment. If he had known that such a thing would happen, he would have chosen to save Su Huaizhou from the start. Now that he was in such a passive state, it would not be easy to leave. He had to watch over Orochi. Regardless of whether he failed or succeeded in transcending the tribulation, he had to kill Orochi.

In an instant, the atmosphere turned cold. Lin Xuan and Li Rui were a little bored, but they had no choice but to wait for Orochi.

As for the Orochi, it was enjoying itself and couldn’t wait to enjoy the trail or punishment.

…

In the inner garden of Jingguo Ghost Society.

Hattori Hanzo raised his head and looked at the sea in the distance. He could not help but sigh. In the end, he still could not grasp all the accidents.

In his original plan, Orochi should have been able to hold Lin Xuan back and then come here to provide support. No matter which choice he made, it would be a great contribution to the battle.

Now, it seemed that it no longer cared about Xiaori Country. For its own selfish desires, it brazenly broke the opportunity for promotion and began to cross the tribulation to ascend. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, the strength of Orochi, who might or might not pass the thunder tribulation, would definitely be greatly reduced. Forget about coming to help, it was a problem whether it could escape from Lin Xuan’s hands.

Who would have thought that after calming down Sword Saint Wei Ming, something would happen to his close ally?

However, now that things had come to this, there was no other way for him. Moreover, the advancement of Orochi wasn’t a bad thing in a certain sense. After all, one couldn’t put all their eggs in one basket. Previously, there was no other way. Time was tight, and the mission was important. It was already good enough that they could have a protector beast on their side. How could they have the spare energy to create another basket to hold their eggs?

Unfortunately, amidst the chaos, Orochi had created a basket of its own. He had to close one of his eyes for this. However, there were also disadvantages that would come to play later. Without Orochi, it would not be difficult to deal with the enemies of Taixia Country and the demons and ghosts of the Hundred Ghosts Parade!

For a time, even someone as strong as Hattori Hanzo was extremely distressed. In the end, there were too few strong people in the Xiaori Country that could support the plan, and they could not gather enough people to fill in the role.

He could not help but sigh again. Hanzo Hattori had been pushed into a tight corner by Taixia again. Once their plan to invite the gods was successful, Hanzo Hattori would probably be torn to pieces by the furious Taixia experts.

Fortunately, he still had two temporary heaven-rank combatants, the Moon God, and Susanoo. These two were well protected by their families because of the previous incident with Amaterasu. They had put their hearts into cultivation and could now summon God mechas with heaven-rank combat power.

He couldn’t tell what time it was when he looked at the dark sky. However, he knew that the real battle was about to begin.

The festival was beginning. It was going to be the time when the demons came, and the Gates of Hell would open to sweep away the world.

They had played this game long enough, and it was time to determine the winner.

“Tell the two God’s Vanquisher Witches of the Bei Shan family and the Xin Tian family to get ready. The war is about to begin. It will be a pivotal moment for us. If we lose, Xiaori Country will no longer exist. But if we win, Xiaori Country will finally have a place in the world. Neither the Eagle Country nor the Taixia Country will dare attack us any longer!”

At this moment, Orochi’s combat power was unparalleled, and the terrifying power in his body surged. Even he could not help but tremble in the face of such a terrifying battle.

A shikigami suddenly appeared.

“My Lord, I’ve already informed the two families to act according to the plan. I don’t think there will be any accidents.”

“Where are Prajna and the young child of the Gypsy Clan?”

“They’ve already gone to scout for information.”

Hattori Hanzo did not say anything else. He looked at the vast demonic clouds outside and squinted his eyes. Even though he was full of fighting spirit, he was still a little bit unwilling to carry this mission out.

He had clearly made such a perfect plan, but all kinds of accidents kept happening. Now, his death rate was already as high as 70 percent. Fortunately, he had also arranged a resurrection method for himself, and he hoped that he would not be forced into a situation where he would have to use it.

…

“Zhang Ningtian, you finally made it!”

Alice’s eyes narrowed slightly. She could not accept the smell of pure Yang lightning on Zhang Ningtian’s body. She took a step back without a trace. “Are you alone?”

“I am. Something happened to Lin Xuan and Li Rui, so I can’t go over there for the time being.”

Zhang Ningtian was also very uncomfortable with Alice’s presence. The sudden advancement of Orochi had caught everyone off guard. At this point, he could only come over and see if there was a chance to save Su Huaizhou.
