Chapter 353: Kill Lord SusanoTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As Chen Fan spread his Divine Will over the entire mountain peak, he noticed that the dark mist that previously loomed over the Susano Shrine had grown significantly larger. Worse, there was an eldritch menace ever so tempting yet terrifying lurking in the dark mist. It cast a spell that deluded the minds of the fighters, make them turn a blind eye on their situation.
“Mist of Delusion?”
Chen Fan was not a stranger to such tricks since it was often used by Evil Immortals in the universe to control its subjects. It was evident that Lord Susano was a master of manipulation, without his influence, his subjects would have already thrown down their weapons and ran away.
“UMMMMM!”
Chen Fan stamped the ground and let out a droning that mimicked the sound of a dragon.
The droning started quiet and increasing get higher both in volume and pitch. In a few seconds, the droning and turned into a deep rumbling of distant thunder. The sound reverberated as it gained more intensity. Those who were under its influence had a vivid hallucination of a real dragon snarling at them. As the sound cleansed the vile grip of the dark mist on people’s minds, the warriors were rendered stupefied and stunned. Some dropped their sword in dizziness.
“Eight Timbres of a True Dragon.”
This was a very powerful mystic-art that mimicked the different timbre of a real dragon’s droning.
True Dragons are the most righteous beings in the universe due to their pure Yang energy. The roars of those True Dragons wandering in the s.p.a.ce could cleanse the effects of any evil spells over an entire planet. Chen Fan’s spell had a similar effect and therefore everyone at the Susano Shrine was severely affected by the spell.
The piercing timbre swirled the listener’s souls, staggering them and knocking them off balance.
One after another, dark mists rose from these warrior’s bodies as they slowly regained consciousness. When they finally saw the blood bath before them, they threw down their weapons and ran away, screaming.
After a while, only Chizuru Masahiro, Genkaza Takeda, and Violet were able to stand still and unwavering. Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa was under Violet’s protection so she was safe amidst the chaos.
Chizuru Masahiro looked at Chen Fan with a dark face while others were taut with fear.
Chen Fan had killed a few hundred people in a short period of time, however, the b.l.o.o.d.y slaughter didn’t take even the slightest toll on Chen Fan’s conscience. It was as if he had just squashed an anthill under his boots and walked away.
For the first time, Chizuru Masahiro started to wonder if Lord Susano could really achieve victory.
Chen Fan gazed at the statue inside the inner sanctum and didn’t spare anyone a glance.
“You ordered them to swarm me because you wish to cast an array formation, didn’t you? Do you think that will stop me?” Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and said lightly.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you?”
A plume of dark mist swarmed to the ground from which Lord Susano emerged.
His look had changed. He was wearing a ceremonial hat and was in an Onmyoji outfit. His face was thin and severe and he glared at Chen Fan: “You are not a Grandmaster from China. Nothing about you, from your Dharma Spells, Divine powers to your energy, is of this time period. Are you some kind of reincarnation of an immortal?”
Chizuru Masahiro and the others might not be able to see through Chen Fan’s cover, but Lord Susano had lived hundreds of years and had seen many Immortal State warriors. He finally picked up the extraordinary otherworldliness in Chen Fan that had escaped him earlier. What struck him the most was Chen Fan’s divine indifference that screamed a contradiction against his young age.
Lord Susano was convinced that Chen Fan held a big secret in him.
“You talk too much.”
Chen Fan cracked a smile, his eyes were indifferent.
He reached out a hand and closed his fingers. Suddenly, a few-meter tall palm, made out of Azure energy appeared out of thin air above Lord Susano. It turned the palm down and bore it down onto the inner sanctum. A heavy force weighted on the structure even before the azure light landed on its roof.
“Yi Wood Connate Spirit Grand Qin Na Hand!”
Chen Fan’s power had surged ever since he reached the mid-stage of Ethereal Enlightenment, making his attack even more deadly than before.
Lord Susano’s face colored a little after he saw Chen Fan’s attack coming down on the inner sanctum. He transformed back into a plume of dark mist and flew back into the inner sanctum. A cold voice rose inside everyone’s ears.
“Chen Beixuan, I don’t care what you are. You have offended me and desecrated my shrine, therefore, you must die!”
As soon as Lord Susano’s icy threats faded, the floor of the Shrine started to tremble as if there was an energy about to erupt from under the earth. Dark mist thickened and fell over the shrine as a heavy blanket.
“What is going on?” Violet asked nervously.
Genkaza Takeda also looked to the Inner Sanctum in confusion.
Suddenly, realization dawned upon Chizuru Masahiro and the old man put in: “s.h.i.+t! Our Lord is going to initiate the Yin Yang Grand Array”
“Yin Yang Grand Array? What the heck is that?” Violet and Genkaza Takeda both looked at Chizuru Masahiro in puzzlement. Chizuru Masahiro hesitated a moment and then let out raspy laughter: “Yin Yang Grand Array is a Dharma Array cast by Lord Susano himself before he pa.s.sed away. It had been dormant but not entirely inactive since it had been harnessing the Yang energy from the volcanos deep inside the mountain as well as Yin Energies from the Shrine. Once the seal over the array was opened, it would unleash these two deadly elements and cause them to react with each other. By then, the entire shrine would be reduced into ashes while it was caught in between the two elements.”
“Then what are we doing here? Let’s go!”
Violet shouted as her face paled.
Genkaza Takeda acted first and darted toward the exit without uttering a word.
