Let's rewind time a little.
In the Western Realm.
In the palace of the Great Inferno King.
There was no one here.
The Bull Demon King, the Yellow-browed King, the seven Spider Demons, and the other experts had been sent to the border between the Western Realm and the Eastern Realm by the Great Inferno King.
They were completing the first layout of the Journey to the West.
As for whether they could stop Sun Wukong or not, no one could predict it.
After all, Sun Wukong's existence was a huge variable.
Moreover, in this mythical world, an anomaly like the Ao Qing Tao Ancestor had appeared. It was unknown how many calamities he had pushed and turned the world upside down.
Under such circumstances, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to predict the true results of the Journey to the West.
Otherwise, the Great Burning King wouldn't have used his super trump cards one after another, setting up one mystery after another and solving this situation by setting up one mighty figure after another.
However, without exception, from Sakra to the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens, to the destruction of the entire Western Realm, and to the break with the Skyless Buddha.
All of them showed that these things were completely out of the control of the Great Inferno King.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take out a bigger backup plan to complete the other arrangements in this mythical world.
Otherwise, the Three Realms, or even the greater direction of the entire mythical world, would completely fall into the hands of the Way of the Heavens Hongjun.
As for the Ao Qing Tao Ancestor, who was becoming more and more powerful, until now, he still thought that he was a pawn of the Way of the Heavens Hongjun.
Otherwise, why would his cultivation speed be so fast?
Why would he be able to advance to the level of the Way of the Heavens so quickly?
In the mythical world, this was definitely not a normal thing.
Therefore, when things reached this stage, he even deduced that the Ao Qing Tao Ancestor was even a clone created by the Way of the Heavens Hongjun himself.
A pawn clone that was specially used to deal with the Great Inferno King!
However, fortunately, he was not a fool. Now that he had come to the mythical world and was in the midst of the true calamity of the Journey to the West, he used the Orochi.
It was all for the sake of killing Dao Ancestor Ao Qing during the Journey to the West calamity.
Thus, in the battle with Heavenly Dao Hongjun, he had turned the tables!
…
Crack.
A great tremor suddenly came from the Great Burning Emperor's palace.
In an instant, the entire dojo of the Great Inferno King shattered into pieces, turning into pure mysterious energy. It all entered the body of a giant monster with eight heads and eight tails in the sky.
Immediately, countless black rays of light shot out from his body.
After devouring the Great Burning King's dojo, the remaining ten percent of his injuries were completely healed in an instant.
At this moment, Yamata no Orochi had truly recovered his peak strength.
In an instant, its body grew bigger, bigger, and bigger.
It was like a demon god had loomed over the Heavens and Earth, causing the sky to darken.
Boom!
Purple lightning crackled.
Torrential rain poured down on the earth.
Seeing this scene, countless people in the Western World cried out in horror.
"What, what kind of monster is this?"
"Is he here to destroy the Western World?!"
Voices of horror, sobbing, and fear rang out one after another in the Western World.
When Yamata no Orochi descended upon the Western World like an evil demon god.
This moment was like the end of the world.
Even at the border between the East and the West, another battlefield of the Journey to the West calamity.
Sun Wukong, who had killed millions of demons and the Western World's army, couldn't help but look at the giant monster.
"Yamata no Orochi …"
"This guy really appeared!"
Tang Sanzang had thought that Yamata no Orochi was just a legend, but he didn't expect it to become reality.
He was indeed a backup plan brought by Great Burning King.
"What should we do?"
Zhu Bajie frowned as he firmly tied up the Bull Demon King and the others with the Immortal Binding Rope.
This big guy didn't look easy to deal with.
"Don't worry, we'll take them back to the Seventh Realm first. Aunt Meng Po will definitely like them if we throw them to her."
Sun Wukong chuckled and took the Human Pouch of the yellow-browed King. He formed a seal and took the Bull Demon King and the others into it.
"As for this battlefield, Master will definitely come and deal with it."
His voice was full of confidence in Dao Ancestor Ao Qing.
…
At this moment, Yamata no Orochi truly felt that his entire body was brimming with power.
He stood in the void and looked down at the entire Western World. His eight giant mouths couldn't help but roar at the sky.
Roar!
The earth trembled and the mountains and rivers shattered.
Just one roar was enough to cause countless disasters in the Western World.
How powerful was Yamata no Orochi of the Minor Heavenly Dao?
However, just as he roared at the sky, a discordant voice resounded across the entire land.
"Your tone is so harsh. Didn't your mother teach you to brush your teeth?"
The eight giant heads suddenly stopped roaring at this moment. He felt the energy fluctuations in front of him and turned to stare at the figure in front of him.
"Are you the Dao Ancestor Ao Qing that Lord Maafen mentioned?"
Yamata no Orochi felt a little disdainful as he looked at the insignificant Dao Ancestor Ao Qing.
This Lord Maafen was getting worse and worse. Was such a small Quasi-Heavenly Dao worthy of his attack?
The Dao Ancestor Ao Qing didn't say anything. He just stood in the void and looked at the other party with interest.
This made Yamata no Orochi angry. In the entire Mythical World, other than the Hongjun Heavenly Dao and Lord Maafen, who else would dare to face him like this?!
"No matter how many things you have done to make Lord Maafen angry, in short — —"
"Today is the day you die!"
Crack!
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
The huge storm seemed to be setting off his anger.
However, the Dao Ancestor Ao Qing smiled faintly and said, "What a good long worm. Originally, I wanted to skin you and pull out the Heavenly Sword of Clouds from your body, and then let the powerhouses of the Seventh Realm eat it to increase their strength."
"However, now that the plague is prevalent, for the sake of the entire Mythical World and the safety of all humans, forget it."
He shook his head, took out a mask from the void, and put it on his mouth.
This scene infuriated Yamata no Orochi. He immediately stopped communicating with the other party. His entire body suddenly emitted an incomparably powerful fluctuation. Waves of powerful pressure surged out from his body, as if it was going to crush the entire world.
However.
At this moment.
The Dao Ancestor Ao Qing, who was wearing a mask, turned a purple light into a thin ice blade in his hand and flew toward Yamata no Orochi.
"Insignificant skill!"
He thought that the Dao Ancestor Ao Qing would use some kind of method to resist, but in the end, he only waved an ice blade. Was he scared out of his wits?
Yamata no Orochi sneered and didn't even try to block it. He was about to rush toward the Dao Ancestor Ao Qing.
However, at this moment.
He couldn't move anymore.
He saw that the tiny purple ice blade, which didn't even have any fluctuations, instantly penetrated his limbs and bones.
A super strong pressure from the depths of his soul suddenly erupted from his body.
In an instant, his Heavenly Dao origin was shattered.
He widened his eight pairs of eyes, and his face was full of disbelief.
Why, why could this masked Dao Ancestor Ao Qing kill him so easily?!
