529. Chapter 515: Ghost Gods in the Cauldron
Less than a hundred miles from this location, a large contingent of people was hidden in the Void Space, quietly watching these great demons fight each other like mad dogs, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Among this group, the two leaders were one tall and one short. The tall one was thin, with a face like an ape, wearing Geta on his feet, his complexion unsettled.
As for the short one, she was a woman wearing a red and white palace dress. Her left half, a fair face, was as exquisite as jade, with crescent eyebrows on an oval face, adorned with a piece of glowing yellow jade on her forehead, making her look very dignified and intellectual.
But when she turned her head to look at the tall, thin man, she revealed the right half of her face, which looked like a rotten corpse. That mushy, rotten face was covered with a disgusting substance that looked like a spiderweb.
Izanagi could even see wriggling maggots on that disgusting face, a sight that made his complexion grow even darker. He glared fiercely at Amaterasu not far away, full of dissatisfaction.
Why, for goodness sake, did she have to invite Izanami out of Yellow Springs Country? Wasn't this making things difficult for him, her old father!
The tall, thin man was none other than Izanagi, the Creator God from Japanese Mythology. The woman with half her body rotten was his former sister and beloved wife, Izanami! Back when Izanami gave birth to Kagu-tsuchi, she was burned and became bedridden, soon dying from the illness.
Izanagi couldn't let go of his wife and personally went to Yellow Springs Country, wanting to see her one last time.
However, Izanami had just died at the time and hadn't yet become familiar with the World after death, so her body quickly began to rot. When Izanagi saw her rotting, maggot-infested body, he was so scared that he fled Yellow Springs Country.
The enraged Izanami sent several Ghost Gods from Yellow Springs Country to pursue him, but Izanagi managed to shake them off with a trick. Finally, at Yomotsu Hirasaka, he blocked the Passage between the Yin and Yang Worlds with a large stone, stopping the calamity.
One could say Izanami was also a ruthless person. To get revenge on Izanagi, she deliberately kept half of her body in its rotten state. At this moment, she intentionally turned that half-rotten face towards Izanagi. From her empty eye sockets, plump white maggots crawled out one by one.
Seeing Izanagi's grim complexion as he struggled to suppress his nausea, Izanami's gaze from the left half of her face was filled with a venomous resentment that even the waters of Yellow Springs could not wash away.
"Mother! I see that those demon monsters have suffered heavy casualties. Is it time for us to make our move?"
A woman eight feet tall, wearing a luxurious long dress with a white fan embedded with dozens of gemstones behind her collar, stepped forward. The fan behind her emitted rays of golden light, making her appear as if a Sun God had descended upon the Mortal Realm.
She first cast an apologetic gaze towards Izanagi, then walked to Izanami's side, bowed slightly, and inquired.
Izanami looked at Amaterasu's beautiful yet dignified face, her gaze filled with unconcealed jealousy: "You are the esteemed Lord of Takamagahara, Amaterasu Ōmikami, Amaterasu Sumerami Ōmikami, Sumerami Ōmikami, Amaterasu Masu Sumerami Ōmikami, Amaterasu Hime no Mikoto, Ōhirume-no-Mikoto, Ōhirume-no-Mikoto, Ōhirume, Amaterasu Ōhirume-no-Mikoto, your status is noble, how could I possibly accept your bow!"
Izanami rattled off a string of Amaterasu's titles in one breath, then glanced at Izanagi with a half-mocking look: "Now isn't everyone in Japan saying you were born from his left eye? You just need to acknowledge this one father!"
Amaterasu maintained her bowing posture, giving Izanami sufficient face, but as she lowered her head, a hint of impatience gradually appeared on her beautiful face.
This old hag, if she hadn't sensed the aura of Yellow Springs on this cauldron, why would she have ordered the Gods to release this madwoman from Yellow Springs Country?
Once that treasure cauldron was in hand and this madwoman was no longer useful, she would definitely order the Gods of Takamagahara to drive her back to Yellow Springs.
Amaterasu politely listened to Izanami's sarcastic remarks for over ten minutes before Izanami finally stopped. She looked deeply at Amaterasu, her voice sometimes hoarse and unpleasant, sometimes crisp and sweet like an oriole's song, as melodious and full as a young maiden's: "You guessed correctly, this cauldron is indeed a product of the Yellow Springs Yin World, and it very likely originates from the Central Land Underworld. Among everyone present, only my origin power is compatible with this cauldron, and only I can obtain it!"
"Mother, please state your requirements," Amaterasu narrowed her eyes.
Izanami looked at this "daughter" and chuckled: "My requirements are very simple. I want the authority to freely enter and exit Yellow Springs Country, and regarding the matters between me and Izanagi, none of you Gods of Takamagahara are to interfere!"
Glancing sideways at Izanami, Amaterasu suddenly sighed: "It is indeed inconvenient for us juniors to interfere in the matters of our elders. You two should resolve your issues yourselves! I will order everyone in Takamagahara not to intervene!"
Izanagi's complexion had turned liver-colored by now, but he knew deeply that even though he was the founder of Takamagahara, his status in the hearts of the Japanese Gods was far inferior to this daughter's.
He could only cast a resentful glance at Amaterasu from the side, then glared at Izanami with wariness and helplessness.
Izanami saw Izanagi's embarrassed look and suddenly burst into laughter. She spread her hands towards Amaterasu, indicating that she had no other conditions.
Amaterasu bowed to Izanami again: "Since this treasure cauldron might come from the Central Land Underworld, please make your move quickly to avoid attracting interference from K'un-Lun and the Underworld!"
Amaterasu had dealt with King of the Underworld Cha Cha before and knew deeply that this woman was not easy to provoke, so she repeatedly urged Izanami to act.
"The Yin World and the Mortal Realm are interconnected. The source of the Yellow Springs Country's river is said to originate from the Central Land Underworld. My strength is essentially not different from the strength over there!" Izanami explained. As she spoke, a ghost face about a zhang in area suddenly shot out from the jade pendant at her waist.
The ghost face soared into the air, then transformed into a Samurai Ghost Shadow three zhang tall, clad in Japanese armor. The Samurai Ghost Shadow drew the katana from its back, turning into a ghostly blue phosphor fire, and rushed towards the Sea Surface in the distance.
"Unfortunately, three thousand years ago, the water volume of Yellow Springs significantly decreased for some reason, otherwise the area of Yellow Springs Country would be twice as large as it is now!" Izanami looked towards the Sea Surface from afar and let out a sigh.
Being relatively close, as Izanami spoke, Amaterasu felt a pungent fishy smell mixed with a strong stench of decay rush towards her face. Even though Amaterasu quickly sealed off her sense of smell, she was still almost overwhelmed by the stench.
It was then that Amaterasu understood Izanagi's feelings. She sincerely cast a sympathetic gaze towards Izanagi.
Izanagi, in turn, snorted coldly at this unfilial daughter and turned to look at the Sea Surface.
At the center of the Demon Monster Battlefield, under the influence of the aura emitted by the underworld cauldron, the group of Japanese great demons who had lost reason were almost completely wiped out, and the dozens of surviving demon monsters were all injured.
At this moment, the four-sided underworld cauldron was held in the hands of Ryomen-sukuna, a great demon from Japan. This fellow had two heads and four arms. He held the underworld cauldron with two hands, while his other two arms held a three-meter-long, bowl-thick refined iron staff, blocking the attacks from all sides.
Nurarihyon, known as the Commander of Hundred Ghosts, had already lifted his disguise as an old human and revealed his muscular giant-like figure. He held a katana in his hand, continuously hacking at Ryomen-sukuna.
In terms of strength, Ryomen-sukuna was naturally no match for Nurarihyon, but Nurarihyon's body was covered in dense black iron feathers, the result of a dying counterattack from Daitengu when he sneak attacked him.
The two fought fiercely with great strength. The collision between the iron staff and the katana sent up large sprays of spark, and the clanging sound of metal and iron, like blacksmithing, could be heard by the warships over a hundred miles away.
