Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Thoroughly Finished

In other words, as long as Yang Tian strikes once more, Orochi’s Divine Thought Avatar, comprised of his seven fused divine thoughts, will completely vanish!

Yet, at this critical final moment, Yang Tian unexpectedly stopped his attack for reasons unknown.

"Hahaha! Yang Tian, oh Yang Tian! You are formidable, truly formidable! But you should never, under any circumstance, have spared me my last life!"

With just one life left, Orochi laughed maniacally, his entire body suddenly radiating with white brilliance.

He proclaimed wildly, "This is merely my Divine Thought Avatar. Even if it’s destroyed, I can condense it again, albeit at the cost of my millennia-long preparations. For this, the price you must pay will be your life! Die with me!"

"Die together?"

Upon hearing Orochi’s declaration, Yang Tian burst into laughter, slowly extending his hand forward as he replied with a grin, "How do you know that I didn’t purposely leave you this last life?"

Purposely left it?

Orochi, hearing Yang Tian’s words, let out a cold sneer filled with disdain.

In a life-and-death battle, who would be foolish enough to spare the opponent’s final strike and intentionally leave them alive?

From the earlier battle, Orochi had already discerned that Yang Tian was unfailingly ruthless and decisive, leaving no margin for mercy!

Would such a person have the benevolence to spare him his life?

Orochi was absolutely unwilling to believe it!

Thus, for Orochi, there was only one logical explanation—that Yang Tian’s Dark Demon Continuous Slash, despite its swift attack speed and tremendous power, could only execute three consecutive strikes before requiring a recharge period!

And this final spared life, combined with Yang Tian’s need to recharge, provided Orochi sufficient opportunity to drag Yang Tian into mutual destruction!

After all, a mere Divine Thought Avatar in exchange for the life of such an extraordinarily gifted individual, one who could potentially threaten his true form...

No matter how it was calculated, Orochi was absolutely unwilling to let this opportunity slip!

"This is bad! The Great Orochi intends to perish alongside Yang Tian!"

Makura Daisuke, being Orochi’s Spiritualist, was naturally the first to sense Orochi’s intentions, and he leaped up in sudden alarm.

A god self-destructing?

Even if it was merely a Divine Thought Avatar possessing half Divine Power, the destructive force unleashed by such self-destruction was unimaginable!

As this realization struck, Makura Daisuke finally abandoned any thought of remaining here!

Despite his advanced age, he immediately broke into a sprint, running at speeds rivaling, if not surpassing, younger men.

Uekizawa Shou could only gape at Makura Daisuke’s sudden and decisive retreat.

Was this truly the most revered Great Spirit Master of Japan, Lord Makura?

Yet seeing Makura Daisuke already fled, Uekizawa Shou dared not linger either, hurriedly rushing out of the Rice Field Shrine after him.

The retreat of Makura Daisuke and Uekizawa Shou was utterly insignificant to this battle!

Neither Yang Tian nor Orochi paid them the slightest attention.

Their focus remained locked solely on each other—one with a maniacal expression, the other calm as still water.

Naturally, it was Orochi who wore the crazed expression, now seemingly having amassed all the energy necessary for self-destruction. He laughed wildly, "Yang Tian, oh Yang Tian! You brought this upon yourself! Each of my Divine Thought Avatars has been cultivated for centuries, originally intended to assist me in searching for the strongest physical vessel!"

"But now, just to kill you, I am willing to sacrifice everything! I, the god, will see you dead!"

As he spoke, Orochi’s face grew increasingly twisted, while the radiant white light surrounding him blazed to new heights!

Yet, facing Orochi’s imminent self-destruction, Yang Tian remained composed from start to finish. Hands behind his back, he stood before Orochi, appearing to await the blast as if undisturbed!

The more Yang Tian acted this way, the more unease crept into Orochi’s heart!

Could Yang Tian still possess some hidden strategy?

This thought gnawed at Orochi, compelling him to ask, "Yang Tian, don’t you fear me? Won’t you try to stop me? Not even escape? I, a god, am about to self-destruct!"

"And so?" Yang Tian responded nonchalantly.

And so?

What kind of idiotic response was that?

Orochi nearly thought Yang Tian was deranged, snarling in rage, "Don’t you understand the magnitude of a god’s self-destruction? Once my energy is fully concentrated for the blast, not even your ashes will remain—you’ll perish without a trace!"

"Oh!"

Yang Tian casually nodded, then asked again, "So, have you finished concentrating all your energy yet?"

"I..."

Orochi felt utterly stifled!

He was preparing to self-destruct!

Why did it feel like he was putting on a performance for an unappreciative audience?

In his frustration, Orochi roared furiously, "Looks like you truly are senseless! In that case, then perish beneath the detonation of all the god’s amassed energy!"

As he spoke, Orochi’s body became entirely engulfed in white light, poised to burst apart.

"Finally consolidated, huh!"

Just then, Yang Tian broke into a delighted smile. Far from retreating, he stepped forward, directly extending his hand toward Orochi’s chest before shouting coldly, "Devour!"

Swish!

In an instant, the mighty Devouring Spirit Technique erupted from Yang Tian’s palm, siphoning all of Orochi’s amassed radiant energy entirely.

Orochi was reduced to a stunned silence, as if his senses had betrayed him.

"You... what are you doing?" Orochi asked, bewildered, staring at Yang Tian.

"What am I doing?"

Feeling the absorbed energy coursing through his body, Yang Tian replied contentedly, "Devouring your Divine Thought Power, of course!"

"Honestly, if you hadn’t consolidated all this energy first, absorbing it would’ve required considerably more effort. But now? It’s all been handed to me on a silver platter! Much obliged!"

Much obliged?

The energy that Orochi had intended for self-destruction had been entirely devoured by Yang Tian?

Orochi could hardly believe such a swift turn of events!

"You... You mean to say you had planned this all along?" Orochi asked in disbelief.

But his answer came in the form of the merciless blade of the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber.

With a decisive swing, Yang Tian severed Orochi’s final life, killing him without ceremony. Summoning the saber back, Yang Tian remarked indifferently, "Did I not say it before? That last life was intentionally spared!"

And thus, Yang Tian swiftly eliminated Orochi’s Divine Thought Avatar, absorbing all eight Divine Thought Powers in the process!

"It seems... it’s time to return to China!"

Walking past Orochi’s fallen form, Yang Tian took a step forward, preparing to leave.

But at that very moment, a woman clad in a white kimono emerged slowly from behind the right-side pillar, blocking Yang Tian’s path.

It was none other than the treacherous serpent-woman, Akita Junko.

Seeing Akita Junko appear suddenly, Yang Tian couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.

Although his Divine Sense had long since detected Makura Daisuke and Uekizawa Shou’s escape, as well as Akita Junko lurking behind the pillar near the temple...

At this moment, now that Orochi’s avatar had been eradicated, why would Akita Junko step forward to block him?

Was she seeking death?

"Mr. Yang seems quite surprised at my appearance!"

Seeing Yang Tian merely stare without speaking, Akita Junko laughed, "Do you perhaps think I’ve come courting death?"

"Indeed!" Yang Tian responded, his hand behind his back shifting slightly.

Though Akita Junko was a woman, Yang Tian had no intention of showing an ounce of mercy to such a venomous snake. This mission to Japan had been undertaken specifically to eliminate her!

But before Yang Tian could act, Akita Junko suddenly interjected, "Mr. Yang, wait a moment! I have a proposal—might I trouble Mr. Yang to hear me out?"
