Chapter 36: The origin of Yamata no Orochi
"Don't panic, everyone. This Yamata no Orochi seems to be injured. It is sleeping at this time. It is using the underground spiritual veins and fire energy to repair its body, so it will not hurt anyone. Unless we make some big move, it will It woke up, otherwise there is not much danger for the time being." Jianzhen saw that everyone was a little panicked and quickly sent a message to comfort them.
Everyone couldn't help but suffocate when they heard the words, and then carefully observed the Yamato norochi, and found that although it exuded a terrifying aura all the time, it did not show any signs of opening its eyes, and there was a large area of dark red on the ground under its abdomen. The blood stains, because they have been spilled for a long time, have seeped into the ground and become integrated. It can be seen that his abdomen has indeed been seriously injured before, but now it is wrapped in the black flames of destruction, making it difficult to see clearly.
Moreover, some of its eight snake heads are lighter in color, with slightly smaller scales and body shapes. They are obviously newly grown after being destroyed by extremely powerful external forces. When everyone saw that it was true, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that everyone is timid, but that many of them are natives of Japan, so they are more or less influenced by Japanese mythology. In Japanese legends, Yamata no Orochi is simply the incarnation of evil and the source of all evil. It is called the number one demon in Japan. I saw this legendary demon unexpectedly and was frightened by its terrifying momentum. Naturally, You will be shocked.
In fact, Yamata no Orochi was indeed injured and had been recuperating here for a long time.
Yamata no Orochi was originally the descendant of the ancient demon Nine Infants and Xiu Snake, and can also be regarded as an ancient alien species. But as mentioned above, when two different bloodlines intersect, the offspring produced may not inherit the advantages of both. Instead, most of them will combine the shortcomings of both. If it is not for great opportunity, great perseverance, and great wisdom, Often they will become useless and live a mediocre life.
Jiuying and Xiu She are both famous ancient monsters with extraordinary heels.
Jiuying was born when heaven and earth were first divided. At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was as thick as substance, and countless powerful spiritual beasts and monsters were produced. There is an old demon with nine lives in the deep mountains and swamps. The vitality of yin and yang intertwined and transformed into the body of a nine-headed snake. He named himself Nine Infants. Each head is a life. Because it is directly produced by heaven and earth, it has no soul and soul, and its body is abnormally strong. It has become immortal and has nine lives. As long as one life is still there, it can be restored by collecting spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Xiu Snake, also called Ba Snake, is a descendant of Taotie, the son of the ancestral dragon. It is also considered a dragon species. It has a huge body and inherited Taotie's ability to devour all things. It forms a world of its own within its body, so it can often devour objects many times larger than itself. Prey, ancient books record: Ba snake eats an elephant, and its bones are harvested when it is three years old. A gentleman eats it without any heart disease. It is snake green, red and black. One said: black snake with green head, west of rhinoceros. A young snake can swallow an elephant, which shows its benefits.
Both belong to the dragon and snake genus. They are sexually promiscuous and have powerful magic power, so they naturally have no scruples. Later, in the early stage of the ancient Lich War and when the Ten Days came together, they jointly harmed the dragon, Feng Xi, Chisel Teeth, and Gale. In the prehistoric world, during this period, we had more and more contacts, and we also had a romantic relationship. Unexpectedly, the baby was born secretly, and Baqi was born. But at that time, Yamato no Orochi was just a snake egg, and the two demons were afraid that it would be damaged, so they placed it in a secret lair of Jiuying.
As a result, Yanqi, Fengxi, Chisel Teeth, Dafeng, Jiuying and Xiushe were all killed by the descendants of the great witch, and they were no longer able to take care of Baqi. Then the Lich War broke out, the ancient world was shattered, and the spiritual energy was greatly reduced. The snake egg that gave birth to the Yamata no Orochi also fell into the Abyss Demon Realm (the origin of the Abyss Demon Realm will be described later) and sank deep into the ground. Due to the lack of nourishment and vitality from his parents and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his growth was extremely slow, and he only broke out of his shell a hundred thousand years ago.
Due to absorbing too much abyss demonic energy during the flashy process, Yamata no Orochi also transformed from a pure monster into a demon. It also has a great opportunity. Not only has it inherited the power of water, fire, wind, thunder and poison from its parents, it has also mastered the three abilities of darkness, hatred, and earth in the process of absorbing demonic energy underground and incubating it. And because it has the blood of the Nine Infants, it is born with There are eight snake heads, and each snake head masters exactly one ability.
However, the talent for success and the talent for defeat are due to the fact that Yamata no Orochi's natural talent is too strong, which makes his progress slow. These eight abilities have great potential for development. As long as ordinary people have one of them, it will be extraordinary. Yamata no Orochi actually mastered eight of them. If he can understand them all and master them, he will definitely be able to cultivate. Increase greatly and become a figure like the great sage of the demon clan; however, these abilities have their own characteristics and are mutually reinforcing. If you want to understand one, you will inevitably be affected by other abilities and cannot concentrate. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to understand them all, let alone integrate them. .
However, Yamata no Orochi is an arrogant and self-respecting character who doesn't want to give up on anyone. He has no friends in the demon world and no one to guide him, so he has to rely on himself to understand. Fortunately, it still has an innate inheritance memory and can obtain the experience of the previous generation. Otherwise, due to its ever-changing mind, it would only learn a little bit of each ability and then turn to other methods of behavior. Maybe it would improve its cultivation. The ground is treading.
Even so, his progress is very slow. After practicing for tens of thousands of years, he has almost reached the late stage of the Demon King (equivalent to the newly ascended immortal). However, it is progressing together with the eight heads. When fighting, it is quite comparable to the demon king. The eight masters of the late stage Demon King who share the same mind are much more powerful than ordinary immortals.
Calculating this, as long as he practices for tens of thousands more years, breaks through to the realm of the great demon, and fights with eight heads, he can be regarded as a master among the great demons. However, we encountered a bottleneck at a critical moment and could not break through. Yamata no Orochi was extremely depressed and had no choice but to find a way to break through the bottleneck.
After arresting and devouring a demon cultivator who came to the demon world to collect medicinal materials, Yamata no Orochi discovered a vicious skill "Spirit-Absorbing Qi Jue" from his memory. This skill focused on using secret methods to plunder Absorb the underground spiritual veins of a place, and then dissolve them into your own blood, transform your qualifications, and improve your cultivation. After transforming your qualifications, you will have the ability to quickly absorb the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, and your practice will naturally be greatly accelerated in the future.
Yamata no Orochi is worried that his cultivation level is improving too slowly. The appearance of the "Spirit-loving Qi Technique" is like giving him a pillow when he is dozing off, which is exactly what he wants. As for the "this method" mentioned at the end of this technique Those who are too expensive and vicious will be resented by heaven and earth. Practitioners must not use them indiscriminately, nor must they absorb large spiritual veins. They must then accumulate a large amount of merit and feed it back to all sentient beings in heaven and earth. Otherwise, they will be punished by heaven. Avoid it! Avoid it!" In this passage, he said But he didn't take it to heart at all.
According to its understanding, Yamata no Orochi is a demon. What kind of merit does a demon need to accumulate? The nature of demons is to destroy and plunder, so this technique is just right for me. As for the divine punishment, as long as I am strong, even the divine punishment can't do anything to me!
So it began to practice this magic formula. However, when it had achieved some success and needed to absorb spiritual veins to transform its qualifications and improve its cultivation level, it discovered that since it itself is the bloodline of ancient monsters, it was the most suitable for it to absorb. There is only the ancient spiritual vein, and absorbing other spiritual veins will not have much effect.
However, there is indeed no prehistoric spiritual vein in the demon world, and most of the real prehistoric spiritual veins dissipated when the prehistoric world was broken, and the rest were basically concentrated in the new continent that was later formed - the earthly fairy world. However, there are many masters in the earthly immortal world, and the news of absorbing spiritual veins is not small. When the time comes, they will attract masters that they can't resist. Seeing that they have done such a big evil, they still don't take action to conquer the demons and make money. Get merit. ——It also knows that if it does such a thing, it will cause bad karma, and whoever kills it will gain a lot of merit. Therefore, we cannot go to the Earthly Immortal Realm.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yamata no Orochi finally turned his attention to another continent formed after the destruction of the ancient world - the human world.
