are differences, it's completely uncontrollable."Ferguson remained calm: "In that case, I can only truthfully report to the Divine Emperor."Ye Bufan said, "You can tell the God Emperor that if there a...Takedo Ryota sat at the bow of the boat, his eyes fixed on the eight small islands ahead. His expression was so focused, as if he were looking at a peerless beauty.

The cruise ship has been docked here for several hours, and the passengers on board are standing on the deck, each one looking confused and clueless about what they're supposed to do there.

Especially the members of the Watanabe family, who originally thought they would die without a doubt after being captured, did not expect to have their cultivation sealed and brought here.

Looking around, there was nothing but endless sea water beyond the eight small islands. It was impossible to tell what the other side intended to do.

Watanabe Keiyuki glanced at Lu Banxia beside her, a look of guilt on her face.

"Miss Banxia, I'm sorry, my message was delayed."

"This has nothing to do with you."

Although Lu Banxia hasn't embarked on the path of cultivation yet, having followed Ye Bufan around has exposed him to quite a few storms. At this moment, he wasn't too flustered.

Originally, they planned to have Liu Yun flee to the Xia kingdom for help, hoping they would send reinforcements.

Even with reinforcements arriving, it's unlikely they would be able to find themselves in the current situation.

Kyouko Watanabe said, "Damn it, I don't know what the Takeda clan is playing at, bringing us here for"

"Who knows"

Lu Banxia said calmly, "Though I don't know what they're up to, it's definitely not good."

Seeing her so calm, Watanabe Yui was a little surprised.

"Ms. Baxia, aren't you nervous at all"

Lu Banxia smiled slightly and shook her head. "There's nothing to be nervous about. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it can't be avoided."

At this time, Brother Ye would always come to save me, but now I don't know where he went.

If Ye Ge wasn't here, life and death would really be meaningless.

As she said this, the image of that man's handsome face flashed through her mind again. It had been almost two years, and during that time, she couldn't say how much longing she had endured, how many tears she had shed in secret.

When she mentioned Ye Bufan, Watanabe Keiko's expression dimmed all of a sudden.

As a woman in her prime, her heart was firmly held by that man. However, she knew she wasn't worthy, so she never revealed her feelings.

...and with my life hanging by a thread, I don't even know if I'll get to see him one last time before I die.

At this point, both of them fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

And just then, the eight small islands at the prow of the ship suddenly moved.

Lu Banxia was stunned for a moment, thinking at first that she must have been seeing things.

It was then discovered that the eight small islands actually moved, slowly rising to the surface and then violently trembling, with countless stones sliding off their tops.

Others also noticed this, could it be an earthquake But then they discovered the sea was calm, and the yachts were as steady as ever, there was no sign of an earthquake at all. The only thing that moved was the eight small islands in front of them.

Has Hakubi finally awakened

Sitting at the bow of the boat, Takeda Ryota was like a rooster that had been kicked, jumping up suddenly and clenching his fists with an excited expression on his face.

Under the gaze of everyone, the eight small islands rose higher and higher, finally reaching the middle of the air, while beneath them lay a gigantic serpent's body.

A violent shaking ensued, causing the rubble on the eight small islands to scatter completely. Eight massive skulls were revealed, each followed by the opening of two blood-red eyes, their gaze cold and scanning their surroundings.

"This...this is actually a snake!"

Lu Banxia couldn't help but scream.

Although she had a certain detachment from life and death, as a woman suddenly confronted with such a giant snake, and one with eight heads at that, to say she wasn't afraid would be a lie.

Meanwhile, Watanabe Keiko was even more terrified than her.

"Is this Yamata no Orochi Could the legends be true"

As a native of the Land of the Rising Sun, she naturally knew the name of the Eight-Forked Deity. However, she had always dismissed it as a mere legend until today when she saw it with her own eyes.

This small island has been here for countless years, and it turns out to be the sleeping eight-headed serpent.

At the beginning, Yamata no Orochi moved slowly, as if it had just woken up. But when all sixteen of its eyes opened, its movements became incredibly swift.

Its enormous body swayed rapidly, though it had risen nearly a hundred feet out of the water, its bottom half was still invisible. This showed just how immense its size truly was.

"Roar!"

Eight great heads roared together in excited cries, the sound earth-shattering and deafening.

The crowd on the platform was shaken to their faces, some even collapsing directly to the ground.

Meanwhile, with its massive body churning the water, the once-calm sea was boiling like a cauldron, creating towering waves.

Luckily, this yacht was big enough and kept a certain distance, so it wasn't capsized by the giant waves.

"What a big snake!"

Lu Banxia watched with a trembling heart, having never seen such a huge monster in his life.

After a while, the Eight-Headed Serpent finally calmed down slowly. Its eight enormous heads came to hover above the yacht, sixteen blood-red eyes radiating an unnerving glow.

"Who woke me up"

The fifth skull opened its mouth and spoke in human language.

"It's me!"

Tadataka Takeda excitedly stood up and bowed deeply.

“Oh, Eight-Headed Great One, it was the House of Takeda who helped you awaken. It took a full century!”

This guy's tone was deferential, and his demeanor was full of fawning.

"Good job!"

Hachigatsu no Orochi nodded in satisfaction. It had fallen into a deep sleep years ago due to serious injuries. Over the years, the Takeda clan's search for rare treasures not only healed its wounds but also restored it to its former glory.

"From now on, your family will be my slaves."

"It is an honor for my family, the Takedas!"

Overjoyed at receiving this pledge, Ryota Tatewaki rejoiced. Their family had worked so hard for this outcome.

With the support of Yamata no Orochi, they would not only be able to conquer the entire Inu Kingdom but also unify the entire Earthly Realm.

A true snake rules over ten thousand people.

Yamata no Orochi's voice was low and rumbling, "After sleeping for so long, have you prepared my blood sacrifice"

"Ready! Ready! These are offerings for the gods!"

Takeda Ryota spoke, turning his hand back and pointing at the crowd on the deck.

At this moment, a wave of despair surged through the hearts of the Watanabe family. No wonder the other party hadn't killed them; they were the sacrifice for this monster.

"Amazing, they are all warriors with abundant blood energy. Not bad, not bad..."

Yamata no Orochi spoke halfway, suddenly stopped, staring at Lu Banxia with blood-red eyes, releasing a greedy gaze.

"Spirit Body! This is actually a Spirit Body! Hahaha, Heaven favors me. I didn't expect that just as I, Yamata no Orochi, have awakened, I would encounter such an excellent source of blood!"

"If we consume your and my bloodline, we'll ascend to the next level and transform into a nine-headed Jiao dragon!"

Lu Banxia's heart filled with despair. She wasn't afraid of death, but she didn't want to die in the monster's mouth no matter what.

Now that it has come to this, what else could she do but despairingly close her eyes, two glistening tears sliding down her pale cheeks.

"Brother Ye, where are you Can I see you again"ow you want to die!"Seeing his smug face, Xia Qing immediately got angry and rolled up her sleeves, saying: "Big Brother Ye, let me take care of this guy for you!""No need, I can handle it myself."Und...
