Chapter 197 Entering the sea
Kibitsuhiko-no-Mikoto was also a figure from the reign of Emperor Sujin.

He and the Eastern Continent General "Daiyanming" were contemporaries. These two, along with Wu Chunchuanbie and Tanba Daozhu, were the Four Generals of the same era.

Back then, in the early days of the founding of the Yamato Kingdom, at the same time that "Ōhiko-no-Mikoto," who was sent by Emperor Sujin to various places to quell rebellions and served as the general of the Eastern Lands, sealed away the evil spirits of the underworld, Kibitsuhiko was also attacking the demon castle built by Prince Onra.

"Wenluo, he shouldn't be a demon, but a human, right?"

Hyakusuke sought confirmation from Yukiyasha-hime.

"Yes."

Princess Yukiyasha did not deny it.

"Prince Wenluo is not a member of the ghost race, but because he obtained the power of the ghost and god, he was gradually corrupted and turned into a form that is neither human nor ghost..."

In order to fight against the troops sent by the Yamato court, Prince Onra eventually turned into a monster that was neither human nor demon.

Although Kibitsuhiko was very strong, he was initially unable to fight against Prince Onra, who had transformed into a "demon god". Later, through a series of coincidences, he finally found an opportunity to defeat this powerful "demon god".

“Prince Wenluo is an extremely powerful human. He must be the kind of person who was born with strong spiritual power and great combat talent.”

Yukiyasha-hime said calmly, "His talent and potential are too terrifying. Even without mastering the aura of the gods and demons, such a person would be incredibly powerful... In fact, even without the blessing of the aura of the gods and demons, Wenluo has power close to that of the Four Saints."

Bai Jie was stunned when he heard these words.

The legend of Kibitsu no Mikoto defeating Onra certainly suggests that neither side was simple, but he was still somewhat surprised to hear this.

The four Saint-level powerhouses were all on par with the great demon kings among demons. Wen Luo later received the blessing of ghost and god energy, transforming into a "ghost god." It's hard to imagine just how powerful the "ghost god" became after being corrupted...

"After transforming into a ghost or god, one can gain power that is almost 'god-slaying'."

Princess Yukiyasha explained calmly.

"Of course, becoming a demon god made Prince Wenluo too strong, and he may have been devoured by this power. He also completely fell into the Asura path. Although Kibitsu no Mikoto was unable to defeat him at the time, he was eventually defeated by him with the help of many gods."

She pointed out very directly that Kibitsuhiko was able to defeat Onra not by his own strength, but by the help of the gods.

"That is an inhuman path; once you step into it, you will be trapped in an irreversible situation."

Yukiyasha-hime was somewhat reminding him of something.

"Don't worry," Hyakusuke quickly replied, "I had absolutely no such intention."

"That's good."

The Lord of the Lake suddenly smiled.

"Speaking of which, he truly deserves the title of Gun Saint; he's already died twenty times in a row..."

Hyakusuke also saw the appalling and gruesome sight of the pitch-black alien.

"Damn, this is too tragic."

At this point, he quickly recalled his past encounter with the Gun Saint, where he was brutally beaten, and felt a pang of sympathy.

To be honest, when the Gun Saint beats someone up, he doesn't hold back at all. Every time, he uses an attack method that is almost devastating to the mind and body, leaving his opponents with a terrible memory, both psychologically and physically.

"...I myself have lost count of how many times I've been killed."

He shook his head.

"Using this dream, we should be able to trap this guy here, right? I just don't know how long we can keep him trapped..."

"This is a temporary solution, not a permanent one."

Princess Yukiyasha continued, "To eradicate the influence of the demonic energy, some methods will be required... However, afterward, you should be able to stop maintaining the demonic energy state and sleep normally, just don't try to use the Six Attributes of Heavenly Judges to open the gates of Yamatai..."

Sigh, I didn't expect the lake owner to know about this too.

Baijie also nodded.

"In addition, do not abuse the power of ghosts and spirits recently, as this will aggravate the erosion of your body and mind by this power."

Suddenly, she sighed and took another deep look at Bai Jie.

"It seems that the Demon Pill has also fused with your body. We will need to find a way to remove it afterward... However, it should be useless to use normal methods. The only way to solve this problem is to go to Kurama Temple and see if we can find the Fist Saint Xulong. He is also a master of Li Zhu medicine (traditional Chinese medicine that was passed down from the Ming Dynasty to Japan) and healing techniques."

Princess Yukiyasha gave him some more advice, albeit intermittently.

Bai Jie also obtained relevant information about the outside world from this Lord of the Lake.

The fierce god Kotankoro Kamui absorbed some of the power of the Black Princess Mountain clan's spiritual veins, and his condition has recovered to a great extent.

Although Bai Jie and his group defeated its clone, they did not truly weaken this alien fallen god. "I'm certain that this guy has become stronger again, but things have also become strange."

Princess Yukiyasha frowned at this.

She and Maho Ryo had been researching this matter, and they both eventually came to the same conclusion.

"Koutankoro Kamui has regained a portion of the divine power, which was its former power that was lost due to the fall of the divine throne, and now it has recovered most of it."

The lake owner sighed.

"This has made this guy even more troublesome than before. The current Kotankoro Kamui has completely disappeared from the Mutsu region. Neither I nor Mahora can detect any trace of him."

Princess Yukiyasha has been paying close attention to Kotankoro Kamui's condition.

However, both she and Mahora belong to the category of "earth gods," and they cannot interfere in human affairs at will.

Unless Kotankoro Kamui actively invades their divine realm, they will find it difficult to find an opportunity to launch a preemptive strike.

However, the cunning Kotankoro Kamui did not provoke the lake lord himself at Lake Snowyaksha.

It and its numerous demon-winged armies deliberately avoided the area where the Lake Lord was located.

Actually, this is quite normal. Dragons are inherently powerful beings. Yukiyasha-hime is a powerful lake goddess who possesses the power of dragons and also has divinity.

In fact, even if Kotankoro Kamui had not fallen into demonhood, he would not easily challenge such a powerful god and trigger a divine war, let alone the fierce god whose strength has greatly decreased at this stage.

"However, it is indeed getting stronger slowly."

Princess Yukiyasha stated calmly.

The deity Kotankoro Kamui, whose old body was severely damaged after falling from godhood, is taking root somewhere and slowly repairing its old wounds by absorbing the power of the spiritual veins, thus transforming into a new body.

"If this thing is allowed to continue to grow stronger, it could indeed become a monstrous god capable of destroying the world."

"Lord of the Lake, do you mean that Kotancoro Kamui has left Mutsu and gone to another region?"

"Probably."

A look of sorrow appeared in Yukiyasha-hime's eyes.

"The worst-case scenario is that it will head to Hitachi Province and then continue south. The imperial court is acting too slowly and has not yet established a defensive line. I suspect that it has already moved to Hitachi without being detected and has turned from the east to the west, intending to head towards the Kyoto region."

She added that Kyoto was shrouded in a massive array, the pivot of the dragon vein located at the very center of the Yamato court.

The powerful demons and evil gods of all dynasties planned to conquer the capital of the Yamato Dynasty in order to seize the power of the dragon vein pivot.

"Once it succeeds, things will get out of control."

Princess Yukiyasha had a bad feeling.

Kotancoro Kamui is shrouded in various eerinesses. She and Mahora tried to use divination and other precognitive spells, but they were not very effective against this malevolent god, which made both of them uneasy.

Finally, the female lake owner shook her head.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about these things now... Hyakusuke, you should go back now. I've asked Mahoro to let Hiiragi Hiruko come and help you... Actually, you've been sleeping outside for quite a while now, so it's about time you left."

Before Bai Jie could refute her, she waved her sleeve, and he felt a vast expanse of fog surge in, causing him to lose consciousness.

When Hyakusuke woke up again, he seemed to find himself lying in a bumpy carriage, or perhaps an oxcart.

"...Where is this place?"

He felt a slightly damp wind brush against his cheek, and the air smelled of moisture.

Suddenly, Hyakusuke realized that he wasn't lying in the car, but on the deck of the ship.

"How did this happen... how did we end up at sea like this?"

A salty sea breeze blew from the dock; it was a ship moored in the harbor.

He looked up and saw a flock of white-winged seabirds flying overhead. Judging from the color of their wings and the tips of their beaks, they were clearly seagulls.

The birds flew overhead, chasing after the ships sailing from the dock toward the sea.

"Mr. Hyakusuke, you're finally awake..."

A joyful voice rang out.
