Chapter 354: Summoning Flute of Demon G.o.d
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lord Susano had claimed supremacy over the Kyushu island for hundreds of years.
He had been the most powerful Grand Onmyoji of j.a.pan two hundred years ago, and even the Shogun and the Emperor had to speak with him with veneration. In the last hundred years or so, he was confined to the Susano Shrine with only intermittent visits to the outside world using Divine Soul. However, he had a slew of mighty figures pinned under his thumb. The Yukis.h.i.+ro family, Takeda Family, Chizuru Family and the Fuji Ninja Clan all served him as his subjects.
Using an invisible web of influence, he had the entire Kyushu island held firmly in his grasp.
However, mighty as he was, he was killed by Chen Fan with ease.
How was that possible?
Chizuru Masahiro and the others simply couldn’t come to terms with reality.
The reality, however unlikely it was it was thrust in front of their eyes: the shrine was gone, statue shattered. In the void dimension, the sound of the Yin and Yang energy grinding each other subsided. As Yang Energy returned to its source inside the mountain, the Yin Energy became unbridled and went rough. It quickly swept through the entire mountain peak, devouring the vitality of trees and plants.
Seeing the crisis was averted, Chizuru Masahiro and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They looked to Chen Fan, eyes filled with veneration.
Even Lord Susano’s finally trump card, the Yin Yang Grand Array was destroyed by Chen Fan without using much effort. How powerful exactly was he? Chizuru Masahiro started to suspect that Chen Fan was not a Transcendent Grandmaster, instead, he was an Immortal State Cultivator, a legend of the present time.
“Ummm.”
Having absorbed all the dark substance that used to make up Lord Susano’s body, the bone flute flew back to Chen Fan and circled closely about his body. It let out a soft whir that sounded like the purr of a kitten.
Chen Fan reached out and grabbed it in the air. Its texture felt silky and warm on his finger
He had taken this bone flute from the Young Master of the Ghost Witch Sect and it was the Dharma Treasure of the sect. The Ghost Witch Sect elder discovered it in a tomb of an ancient sage. The elder used one section of the bone and made it into a Primordial Ghost Flute to contain the ghosts under his command. A perfected cultivator from the Ghost Witch Sect during the Qing dynasty used to use this very artifact to command a hundred thousand and defeated a thousand Manchu horse warriors.
However, those ghosts soldiers were all but perished after Chen Fan had used Li Fire Golden Eyes on it. That being said, it was a waste to use the bone of a Connate Cultivator as a container for ghosts. Chen Fan had a better plan for it.
He had been refining the bone flute ever since he got it a year ago, but had made little progress. Chen Fan knew that he needed to instill an Artifact Spirit into the artifact but couldn’t find an appropriate Divine Soul in China. It was in j.a.pan that he finally found what he was looking for.
“I finally got you!” Chen Fan tapped the bone flute with a fingernail, making a crisp sound. “Since you have a Demon G.o.d inside, I shall call you the ‘Summoning Flute of Demon G.o.d'”
The bone flute let out a droning as if consenting to his new name.
An azure light came up in Chen Fan’s hand as he channeled his energy into the bone flute. Suddenly, a dark smoke spilled out from the bone flute, down to the floor. The smoke then formed into the shape of the Oni Demon G.o.d.
However, unlike the statue that was destroyed, this iteration of the Demon G.o.d was wearing s.h.i.+ning golden armor and lacked the sinister quality that he used to possess. He stood firmly with a face as heavy as an anvil, looking like the celestial guardians before the gate to heaven. He looked exactly like Lord Susano, despite the unblinking, almost mechanical gaze.
“It… it…”
Chizuru Masahiro stared at the image incredulously.
Hadn’t Lord Susano been consumed by the bone flute? Why did he appear again?
“It’s not Lord Susano, he is an Immortal Guardian for my Dharma Treasure.” Chen Fan waved a hand and the image disappeared.
The Ghost Witch Sect had wasted the bone of a Connate Cultivator by using it to harness ghost soldiers. Chen Fan had used it to its full potential and gave it a powerful Golden Armor Immortal Guardian who was as powerful as Lord Susano. It could destroy a hundred Oni with a single sweep of a hand. Thus it was, the power of a Dharmic treasure heavily depended on the level of attainment of the user. In Chen Fan’s hand, this bone flute was much more powerful than when it was used by the Ghost Witch Sect.
Once Chen Fan reached the Golden Core level, he could summon the Immortal Guardian to move a mountain out of his way.
Such power was also portable. Chen Fan didn’t have to be confined in a shrine in order to summon the Immortal Guardian. The Bone Flute was the Shrine and Chen Fan could carry it with him wherever he went.
After the Summoning Flute of Demon G.o.d was completed, Chen Fan looked to Chizuru Masahiro and the others.
There were only three of them who had survived the onslaught: Chizuru Masahiro, Violet and Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa
Genkaza Takeda was the servant of Lord Susano, and he was killed by Chen Fan with one punch. Chen Fan had decided to spare Violet’s life since she had been protecting Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa amidst the chaos. However, Chizuru Masahiro, the Grand Onmyoji was the mind of the Shrine’s operation. Chen Fan wouldn’t let him getaway.
Lo and behold, Chen Fan’s gaze landed on Chizuru Masahiro.
Violet’s face changed colors while Chizuru Masahiro dropped to his knees before Chen Fan. His body shook with trepidation.
