The light from Orizaga made Bai Lin feel dizzy for a moment, and after the dizziness, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into the sea hundreds of meters deep. A huge pressure surged towards him from all directions, as if to crush him alive.

He opened his eyes, but all he saw was darkness. He was surrounded by what seemed to be high walls covered in barbs, which crushed him in the middle. He was soaked in an unknown thick liquid. Fortunately, his willpower barrier had not failed, otherwise this momentary daze would have been enough to melt Bai Lin.

Bai Lin held his breath tightly, his willpower causing his head to throb, but the pain brought him clarity and strengthened the barrier of his will, creating a small space for him in this cramped and high-pressure environment.

"This is the stomach of the Yamata no Orochi! WTF!" Bai Lin thought to himself, "Just now, I must have triggered a mechanism left inside the Orochi by someone, and entered the message he left behind... It seems that someone intentionally told future generations about the experiments of the gods..."

Bai Lin had no time to think it through; every second counted. The serpent's stomach was no benevolent place. Although he felt the pressure was still bearable, it was because his willpower barrier had isolated 99% of the pressure. The serpent's stomach throbbing was enough to grind steel into powder, and its stomach acid was enough to melt any living being into syrup. Only when his willpower barrier was about to give way would it transmit this oppressive feeling to his body.

"Jade-Handled Dragon... old friend, I'm sorry..." Bai Lin thought to himself. He drew his sword and gently stroked the jagged nicks on the blade. Several intense battles had left Jade-Handled Dragon covered in wounds. If it were an ordinary weapon, it would have been broken ten or eight times over. But even though the sword was no ordinary weapon, it still had its limits of wear and tear. Jade-Handled Dragon was now almost finished.

Bai Lin once heard someone say that every weapon forged by ancient master craftsmen had its own mission: some were for the prosperity and security of the country, some for revenge, some for displaying power, and some for slaying demons and monsters...

The origin of the Jade-Handled Dragon Sword is no simple matter. During the An Lushan Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, both capitals fell, and Emperor Xuanzong fled with his officials. To stabilize the morale of the Imperial Guards, he even ordered Gao Lishi to strangle Yang Guifei. The most distinguished figure in the rebellion was Guo Ziyi, the military governor of Shuofang. He led his army to defend the emperor, recovering Hebei and Hedong, and eventually recaptured both capitals. Later, Guo Ziyi quelled the rebellion in Hezhong and repeatedly defeated invasions by the Tibetans and Uyghurs, making him a pillar of the Tang Dynasty's restoration. The Jade-Handled Dragon Sword was Guo Ziyi's sword, worn during his campaigns, a sword of national stability and patriotism, forged by countless loyal souls and steeped in the blood of treacherous officials.

By this time, the glory of the Tang Dynasty had long since faded into the past, and the sword had reached the point where it could once again save lives, slay demons, and vanquish evil.

"Grow bigger quickly!" Bai Lin gathered all his magic power, summoned the Augur Fist in his arms, and gripped the jade-handled dragon to unleash the most powerful enlargement spell of his life.

A ball of purplish-black flame surged from Bai Lin's palm, instantly enveloping the entire blade of the Jade-Handled Dragon sword. Then, the Jade-Handled Dragon, like a dragon emerging from its cave or Jack's pea shoot, grew from three feet to six feet in length, forcefully piercing the stomach wall of the Yamata no Orochi. The blade, originally only three fingers wide, had grown to the width of two palms in just a few breaths, and was now deeply embedded in the Yamata no Orochi's body.

Outside, Catherine was leading the giant snake's head around wildly. Bai Lin had been inside for quite some time but hadn't seen any changes, making her extremely anxious and almost grinding her teeth to powder.

The two-faced Buddha's sword strikes failed, and he was repeatedly doused with torrents of poison. The golden light around him had dimmed considerably. The old monk kept chanting sutras, pouring his magical power into the two-faced Buddha's wheel, but it was only a drop in the ocean and could not make ends meet.

The other people and monsters weren't faring much better. Ichimokuren was the first to suffer. Although he was imposing and a master at manipulating the wind, the wind around the giant serpent was not a natural airflow but was filled with the pressure of an ancient god. Ichimokuren was too big a target, and with his bad luck, he was narrowly dodged by the serpent when it pounced on him. The serpent accidentally bit Ichimokuren's hind leg and tore it off. The dragon blood that gushed down with the torrential rain and the dragon's mournful roar that pierced the sky were enough to show Ichimokuren's pain.

Black Boy and White Tiger have unleashed countless sword strikes. Even the demons are now covered in blood and their bodies are torn apart. However, the damage they have done to the giant serpent is negligible. Even if the serpent's scales are cut, the wounds heal quickly. With their exceptional agility, they have dodged the serpent's attacks multiple times. They do not have White Scale's life-saving ultimate move. If they are bitten, they will surely die.

While the others had teammates to assist them, Song Quan fought the giant snake all by himself. With tremendous effort, he finally climbed onto the snake's neck. Looking up, he saw the snake's head, covered in sharp spikes like a dragon's whiskers, above him; looking down, he saw a dark abyss below. During the struggle, he dodged the venom more than ten times, leaving countless knife wounds on the snake's body.

At this moment, all he wanted to do was rush into the giant snake's mouth like Bai Lin and attack from inside its body. He didn't consider how to save his life or how to make his move after entering.

His mind was filled with images of his Demon Slayer Corps comrades dying before his eyes, and his utter helplessness. Those brothers he had gathered from all sides, sharing the same fate, some succumbed to demonic transformation or poisoning after their first consumption of demon liver; some perished on their very first mission; some, despite countless battles, still couldn't escape the fate of demonic transformation and beheading… And when Song Quan learned that the Demon Slayer Corps had always been merely a tool used by Fujiwara Akiko, his worldview crumbled. All his brothers had died in vain…

At this moment, he felt that, at the very least, helping Bai Lin eliminate the Yamata no Orochi should be a worthwhile death, so he never thought he would leave alive today...

However, just as Song Quan was about to leap onto the giant snake's head, either blinding one of its eyes or jumping directly into its mouth, the giant snake seemed to be enraged by the Two-Faced Buddha's sword energy and thunder. All its heads pointed towards the dark, cloud-filled sky, letting out even more terrifying roars.

The sound wave instantly drowned out the thunder hammer sound of the two-faced Buddha, causing the two-faced Buddha to take three steps back. Immediately afterwards, the three snake heads simultaneously aimed at the huge image of the two-faced Buddha, and three bolts of lightning spewed out from the snake mouths, converging into a pillar of lightning that slammed into the chest of the two-faced Buddha.

The two-faced Buddha could no longer hold on. Entangled by countless electric snakes, his Dharma form shrank smaller and smaller until it finally condensed into his true form. It was a complete rout. His true form could not escape its fate either. With a loud "boom," it exploded like a stone statue.
