Kujo Hiroji knelt on the cold ground, his forehead pierced by sharp ice shards, blood trickling down his nose and dripping onto the snow, spreading into poignant red plum blossoms.
But he felt no pain at all.
His bloodshot eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets as he stared at the giant golden cocoon radiating boundless divine power before him, his whole body trembling violently with extre excitent.
"Ancestor! My na is Kujo Hiroharu!"
"He is your twenty-third generation descendant!"
The golden cocoon shimred with light, and the deep, thunderous heartbeat subsided slightly.
"Twenty-third generation..."
The sound echoed across the empty snow-capped mountaintop, causing the surrounding snow to fall in a soft rustling sound.
"I...aren't I already dead?"
Upon hearing this, Kujo Hiroharu was so moved that tears stread down his face. He imdiately kowtowed deeply and shouted, "The spirit of our ancestor is immortal! In order to bring you back to the world and restore the glory of my Kujo family, I am willing to use the sacred artifact 'Life Pendulum' and sacrifice the lives of all the people in the country, just to awaken your will!"
"I humbly beseech our ancestors... to bless our Cherry Blossom Kingdom for another five hundred years!"
"Is that so..."
The voice inside the golden cocoon fell into a brief silence.
The terrifying pressure subsided sowhat. After slumbering for over five hundred years, the massive amount of mories clashed violently with the information before him, leaving this once-powerful figure, who had stood at the pinnacle of the world, unable to process it all at once.
It was during this brief interval that...
Several figures, blasted away by the golden ripples in the distance, staggered to their feet from the snowdrift.
Zhou Huai, controlling Caesar, looked more solemn than ever before.
Although he sensed the terrifying aura within the golden cocoon, he had not completely given up hope.
There's still a chance!
Although Kujo Naruya has already awakened in the golden cocoon and his resurrection is a foregone conclusion, his current condition is extrely unstable.
Just like the resurrected Kujo Masakage, although he possesses the SS-level rank, he appears as an old man with greatly diminished strength.
That's because the sacrificial ceremony was interrupted midway, which prevented him from recovering to his peak condition.
The sa applies to the current Kujo Naruya.
A peak SSS-level and a newly awakened, weakened SSS-level are completely different concepts!
Once Kujo Naruya has fully absorbed all this life energy, reshaped his divine body, and returned to his peak, then this battle will truly be a foregone conclusion.
"This ceremony must be interrupted!"
Zhou Huai's original consciousness was burning wildly, and the clarity brought by his last burst of energy allowed him to make the most decisive decision.
"All clones, cover Caesar!"
Accompanied by a ntal command.
Yasuo, Moria, Gabriel, and other clones suddenly unleashed their power.
Ignoring their injuries, they transford into several streaks of light, launching a desperate charge towards the golden cocoon from different directions, attempting to distract the terrifying will.
Although Kujo Naruya inside the golden cocoon was not fully awake and his mind was still in a state of confusion, his instincts as a strong person made him sense the hostile auras around him.
"Um?"
A soft, disgusted snort ca from inside the golden cocoon.
There is a bunch of annoying bugs.
Kujo Hiroharu, who was kneeling on the ground, changed his expression drastically. He turned his head and looked at the figures rushing up again, his eyes filled with resentnt.
He hurriedly shouted at Jin Jian, "Lord Mingwu! Those are invaders from the Great Xia Kingdom! They killed your descendants, destroyed your divine palace, and now they want to stop you from being fully resurrected!"
"The Great Xia people?"
These three words touched a nerve deep within Kujo Naruya's mory.
An even more ferocious and chilling killing intent erupted from within the golden cocoon.
"No one... can stop ."
boom--!!!
Before the words were finished, a powerful golden force was released from the golden cocoon once again.
This power was no longer the indiscriminate ripples of before, but transford into a tangible golden storm, carrying a world-destroying will, and crushing in all directions.
Yasuo and Moria, who were at the forefront, were imdiately blocked by this powerful force, their figures were frozen in mid-air, and then they were violently thrown away.
"They're here!"
Zhou Huai's gaze sharpened; he was already ntally prepared for this level of counterattack.
Instead of backing down, he controlled Caesar and advanced against the terrifying storm!
"Since conventional thods can't break that turtle shell..."
"Then we'll pay with our lives!"
Caesar's ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ eyes, hidden beneath the mask, glead with a mad light.
He spread his arms, and the void behind him tore open, revealing the dark insect hive space.
"Co out, my child!"
Buzzing—
Two eerie low-frequency vibrations sounded.
Imdiately afterwards, two giant beetles, each over fifty ters long, covered in dark red magma patterns and exuding a destructive aura, erged from the nest.
Hell-level Soldier Beetle!
This is the highest-level unit Caesar has been able to cultivate so far, and each one contains a terrifying amount of energy equivalent to a small tactical nuclear bomb.
Normally, Zhou Huai would never be willing to use such a strategic resource.
But now, I can't worry about that!
"Go! Blow it up!"
Zhou Huai gave the order.
The two hell-level beetles let out a shrill cry, their elytra vibrating wildly, transforming into two dark red teors. Ignoring the obstruction of the golden storm, they crashed into the giant golden cocoon in a self-destructive manner.
Inside the golden cocoon, Kujo Naruya also sensed the threat posed by these two energies.
"roll!"
A furious shout.
A brilliant golden light shone forth, attempting to crush the two filthy insects.
But Zhou Huai had no intention of letting them crash into it alive.
At a mont when they were less than 100 ters away from the golden cocoon.
"burst!!!"
Boom!...
Two extrely powerful forces collided violently in mid-air.
Ti stood still at this mont.
Imdiately afterwards, an extrely dazzling white sphere of light expanded at the summit of the snow-capped mountain.
The light was so intense that it instantly overshadowed the sun in the sky, turning the world within a hundred miles into a pale white.
Then ca the deafening roar.
A giant mushroom cloud, thousands of ters high, carrying flas and thunder, rose into the sky and pierced the heavens!
A terrifying shockwave swept out.
Suddenly, the entire majestic snow-capped mountain began to shake violently, and a magnitude 12 earthquake occurred.
The mountain collapsed, and the snow that had accumulated for thousands of years vaporized under the high temperature, turning into billowing white mist.
The wind howled, the blizzard raged, and a catastrophe was about to strike.
The Kujo clan mbers who were barely clinging to life on the outskirts of the snow-capped mountain were vaporized by the intense heat without even uttering a sound, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Apart from Kujo Hiroharu, who was deliberately protected by the power released by the golden cocoon, there were no other living mbers of the Kujo family bloodline around.
Even Kujo Hiroharu, who had been shouting just monts before, was shaken so badly that he bled from all seven orifices and lay on the ground like an ant in a storm, his eyes filled with terror.
Much later.
The aftershocks of the explosion gradually subsided.
Amidst the billowing smoke and snow, the altar had vanished, leaving behind a massive crater tens of ters deep.
In the center of the crater.
Although the golden cocoon had dimd a bit and even developed so fine cracks on its surface, it still stood firm.
SSS-level defense, terrifying indeed.
