720: Chapter 133: Between Dreams and Reality 720: Chapter 133: Between Dreams and Reality “Between dreams and reality, it looks like Arex is really giving it his all.”

At some point, Da Zhe was no longer resting under the tree, but had come to the side of Boss Luo and the maid.

A sudden, ominous disturbance had just appeared.

Between dreams and reality…

This was the maid’s words.

Miki…

Two identical Mikis had appeared.

One was merged with the giant cherry tree, the other seemed uninvolved? “Boss, what exactly is happening down there?” Da Zhe frowned. “Between dreams and reality.” Luo Qiu pondered for a moment and then quickly said, “This is Arex’s special ability.

According to the intel, the Dream-Eating Tapir’s special ability can pull everything from dreams into reality.” “Pull everything from a dream…” Da Zhe scratched his head, then shook it, “Dreams are imagination, and imagination has no limits.

Doesn’t that make Arex invincible if he can pull everything from dreams?” “It’s not that simple.” Luo Qiu also shook his head, “Between dreams and reality, the Dream-Eating Tapir can only use this ability three times in its life.

It’s a consumptive ability, and with Arex’s level of ability, anything beyond the realm of medium divine power cannot be pulled out.

Moreover, even if Arex continually strengthens his power, there is a threshold limit between dreams and reality that can’t be exceeded.”

Da Zhe nodded, agreeing that if such an extraordinary ability had no limitations, then Arex wouldn’t need to purchase services from the club at all…

To obtain everything in the Yan Wuyue World, he could simply accomplish it in his dreams and then change reality through the boundary of dreams and reality. “Is this Arex’s desperate counterattack?” Da Zhe muttered.

The Yamata no Orochi had already seized the upper hand completely, and it seemed inevitable that both Izanami and Arex would end up as stepping stones to its success. “But… even if he brings something out from the dream at this moment, can he really change anything?” Da Zhe wondered, “Pulling another Miki out of a dream, I don’t understand his purpose.” “What he wants is not Miki,” Luo Qiu shook his head. “Then who does he want…” “Nagato Tsuruko,” Luo Qiu calmly replied, “The most complete Nagato Tsuruko.”

As the conversation between boss and employee unfolded, something new happened under the giant cherry tree, sudden and unexpected—even the Yamata no Orochi couldn’t immediately comprehend what had transpired in that instant.

Why were there two containers?

The Yamata no Orochi could acutely sense that both containers were real, each containing equivalent power.

And then there was the Yin Greedy Wolf.

And despite appearing very weak, the Greedy Wolf Star emitted a pure aura…

It seemed it had only recently awakened.

As for the other Nagato Tsuruko and the demonized Mo Xiaofei, they didn’t catch the Yamata no Orochi’s attention too much for the time being…

Yet it vaguely felt that these two shouldn’t be underestimated—a warning from the depths of its soul.

Even Izanami was casting doubtful looks at everything with uncertainty. “Lord Arex!”

While everyone stood momentarily silent amidst the rapid changes, Miki, who was desperately channeling power into the Yin Greedy Wolf, suddenly screamed, lunging forward to cradle the fallen Arex.

The Yin Greedy Wolf, deprived of the immense power of this container, struggled to break the third retracted chain but remained bound.

No matter how frenzied, it could not shatter the chains that confined it!

Four chains, two had already snapped, two remained!

It had gained half of its freedom, leaving half yet to claim! “No!

Come back!!”

Deprived of Miki’s immense power, the shadow form of the Yin Greedy Wolf rapidly deteriorated, transforming into a black light orb in a blink, slowly being pulled back into Zi Xing by the remaining two chains. “No!!

I refuse to accept this!!

You can’t do this to me!!!

I am Lian Zhen Star!

The fifth star of the Big Dipper!!

Tanlang!!

You can’t keep me bound!!!

No——!!!!

If you bind me further!

I rather——”

The black orb, in the instant of being reclaimed, swiftly split apart—one part pulled into Zi Xing, the other abruptly diving into the earth, disappearing.

This did not escape the Yamata no Orochi’s notice—one of its snake heads bore a cryptic gaze, pondering unknown thoughts.

Yet, no matter the Yin Greedy Wolf’s actions, the most crucial thing for the Yamata no Orochi was to gain control over all that was Yan Wuyue World.

Once the fragments of this world were in its grasp, everything would be under its control.

Without hesitation, the Yamata no Orochi locked its gaze upon Izanami…

After devouring the powers possessed by this abandoned woman, it would become the most powerful ruler of Yan Wuyue World.

Almost simultaneously, Izanami sensed the Yamata no Orochi’s intentions.

She hesitated, initially wanting just to eradicate these intruders, never expecting the situation would devolve into such chaos.

Chaos.

It seemed things wouldn’t unfold in an orderly fashion according to one’s wishes.

In the uneventful mundane life, you’ll suddenly face a day where all disastrous and incomprehensible matters converge, leaving you at a loss.

Then you lift your head, gaze upon the starry night sky, only to feel your own insignificance.

Izanami suddenly harbored thoughts of fleeing this place—despite having ruled this world for countless years.

Yet this was merely a small fragment of the world, and the vastness of the earth meant greater forces would always emerge beyond one’s own power.

Without any hesitation, as soon as the thought of escape surfaced, Izanami took action with no delay, even if she had made agreements with Arex—but those were merely verbal, temporary agreements, both parties understanding well that when the objective couldn’t be achieved, such agreements held no binding power.

Having devoured the Three Nobles and numerous Eight Million Gods, as well as the souls of the Devil and Reincarnated Samurai Monster Gate, the Yamata no Orochi’s power was now even greater than before?

No matter, let the world fragment subdivide… because once it did, she could still claim half.

Fully hers.

She could escape with this half of the world fragment, distancing herself from everything, start anew, and weave a completely unique Yan Wuyue World of her own.

In Yatsumi Palace, Izanagi would always accompany her, with the Three Nobles still clashing in the Lower Realm, and she’d observe from time to time, smiling fondly, as the Three Nobles were merely mischievous children.

Perfect, everything would be perfect.

Like a woman dreaming of eloping with her lover, fantasizing about everything to come afterward, Izanami turned and left without a second thought.

She pierced through space, disappearing faster than the Yamata no Orochi could react. “That cowardly abandoned woman!!

Living only in her own world, no wonder she was discarded!” The Yamata no Orochi seethed, frustrated at the promising situation, yet never expected Izanami to flee without a word.

The Yamata no Orochi scoffed dismissively; no matter how much Izanami lost her will to fight, it wouldn’t relent, “Abandoned woman!

You think I’d let you go!

Naive!”

The eight massive snake heads roared in unison, causing the Yan Wuyue World to tremble violently.

But suddenly, the sky was filled with hundreds of ominous-looking monsters, blocking the Yamata no Orochi’s path.

These monsters appeared out of nowhere, attacking the Yamata no Orochi without a word!

Yet the Yamata no Orochi remained unconcerned; one snake head locked onto the ground, where Miki cradled Arex—though it temporarily couldn’t distinguish any difference between the two Mikis, it could clearly perceive that the latter was similarly a container, harboring as many souls as the Miki fused within the Sakura Tree! “Do you think these petty tricks can stop me!” Yamata no Orochi was confident of its victory; no one here could resist its current power! “I cannot…” Miki did not look at Yamata no Orochi, she just lowered her head and looked at Arex, whose eyes were destroyed and now lay quietly in her arms.

She gently stroked his face, “But someone can.”

Miki gently kissed Arex’s forehead and softly said, “My lord, Miki… will not let you down.”

Miki suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with killing intent as she looked at Yamata no Orochi.

The monsters that appeared out of thin air were created madly, recklessly flying towards Yamata no Orochi.

But these were just imagined creatures, with essentially little attack power, barely interfering with Yamata no Orochi—if anything, this was continually angering the calamity serpent who held the upper hand!

Of course, she did not intend to use such imagined creatures to fight against Yamata no Orochi… she just needed some time.

While Yamata no Orochi was entangled with the imaginary creatures, Miki quietly approached Nagato Tsuruko—nearby, Mo Xiaofei was in a chaotic state.

Ever since the special ability transformation between dream and reality, Nagato Tsuruko suddenly stopped, as if becoming an empty shell.

Correspondingly, Mo Xiaofei also became quiet.

Miki glanced at Nagato Tsuruko and said bitterly, “How ironic…

I was abandoned by you, yet in the end I still have to rely on you.

Nagato Tsuruko… whether you accept my existence or not, at this moment I just want to destroy everything, destroy those who ruined Lord Arex’s plans.”

She cupped Nagato Tsuruko’s face in her hands, “Just like on the day of the Zaodao Village festival, you unexpectedly saw Ah Xiu being taken to the Eternal Palace, saw that person most important to you become unfamiliar before your eyes, as if a beautiful dream shattered.

I am too…

Lord Arex fell before me, just like how Ah Xiu appeared before you in that form.

Remember, remember… no matter how you pretend it didn’t happen, no matter how you don’t want the festival day of Zaodao Village to come, you… are also the culprit who ruined Zaodao Village, caused everyone to die, destroyed everything.”

She hugged Nagato Tsuruko.

They finally merged into one, silently…

Nagato Tsuruko’s gaze gradually gained a trace of color—a color Zhuifeng found very familiar.

Just like the indifference on the face of that dead woman he knew well from the shrine.

Nagato Tsuruko suddenly matured a bit, resembling a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, almost identical to the dead woman in the shrine.

But at this moment, behind Nagato Tsuruko, white tails spread out like a peacock displaying its feathers.

One, two… until the eighth, it finally stopped.

Nagato Tsuruko’s face remained indifferent. “Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox?” Yamata no Orochi confirmed again and again, ultimately feeling extraordinarily surprised—it didn’t understand why this Yan Wuyue World became like this!

A Zhan Lu user, a controller of dreams, the newly awakened Greedy Wolf Star, the Lian Zhen Star entwined by the fate of the Greedy Wolf Star… and now even the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox, an ancient core demon vein on the Divine Land, appeared.

Is it because the world where I’ve been sealed has changed over time, or even within the fragments of the broken world, there’s an invisible hand kneading everything at will—and this hand hasn’t shown any intention.

It’s like a traveler on a beach, casually picking up a handful of sand, then piling it into an oddly shaped structure.

Finally, with a light laugh, it leaves.

But Yamata no Orochi felt enormous pressure—the source of the pressure was Mo Xiaofei!

Such a mighty Yamata no Orochi now seemed like it was bearing a heavy weight, its body completely pressed to the ground.

Yamata no Orochi incredulously stared at Mo Xiaofei, instantly considering many things…

Who exactly is this strange samurai, and what is his relationship with this Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox…

The only certainty is that this person suppressing me must be influenced by the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox.

But something is wrong!

It currently exists in a soul state—even though its special ability allows transformation between soul and entity, its essence is still of a spiritual body attribute—in short, it’s immune to physical attacks.

Yet this human unceremoniously suppresses me?

Is this guy on a spiritual level more powerful than me, the genius of the Xiang Liu family? “What exactly are you…?” Yamata no Orochi’s eight giant heads, under the terrifying pressure, struggled to lift, its sixteen eyes filled with fierce flames as if to see through the deepest part of this human’s body.

However, what it saw was a broken and dilapidated scene.

Commanding the land, sweeping across all directions…

A distant figure who ended the chaotic post-Godly Land era, unifying the Central Plains, gradually enlarged in Yamata no Orochi’s eyes, which can see through the essence of souls, expanding and expanding… “It’s actually…no!

Even though that guy has great feats, he committed countless murders, disrespecting ghosts and gods, and the heavens and the earth, even trying to achieve immortality, inverting Yin and Yang!

After death, his True Soul was directly split…

You, are just a piece of his soul or spirit!”

Yamata no Orochi let out an angry roar, as its massive body, under the tremendous pressure, lifted bit by bit.

At this moment, Mo Xiaofei, or Sasaki Kojiro, was bleeding from seven orifices, veins on his face bulging…

Sasaki Kojiro’s body simply couldn’t withstand the extraordinary power unleashed by the rampaging Mo Xiaofei.

In just a few breaths, Sasaki Kojiro’s body had already reached its limit, with his blood vessels bursting, turning him into a blood-covered figure.

His eyes suddenly closed, then fell directly from the sky—from the moment Mo Xiaofei began to act against Yamata no Orochi, Zhuifeng had already regained his freedom.

Now, seeing Mo Xiaofei fall, he rushed to catch him without hesitation. “Hahahahahaha!!!

What of an eternal emperor?

Even split, he’s still split!

Just trash!!!” Yamata no Orochi continued to laugh maniacally—until Nagato Tsuruko quietly appeared before its sixteen eyes. “Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox?” Yamata no Orochi snorted coldly, “Even if you are the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox, so what!

I am also of the eight-headed Xiang Liu lineage!

You and I both belong to the ancient demons’ core demon veins, equal in rank.

In this vast world, except for the Godly Land’s true dragon, who can overtop me!!

I also have the power of this Yan Wuyue World!!!

You hinder me from devouring Izanami; I’ll devour you too!”

Nagato Tsuruko remained expressionless, suddenly pointing skyward.

A thunderbolt suddenly struck from the sky!

As this massive thunderbolt from the sky struck down, Yamata no Orochi’s soul body was directly shattered!

With just one lightning strike, Yamata no Orochi fell to the ground, its eight massive snake heads languishing… … “So strong…”

In the distance, watching as this single thunderbolt severely injured Yamata no Orochi, Da Zhe instinctively widened his eyes, he couldn’t help but compare in his heart, whether he could dodge if this thing struck at him.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Lu didn’t grumble its typical arrogant boasts this time.

It turns out even you have moments of silence, huh?

Da Zhe shook his head but suddenly realized that the boss beside him was nowhere to be seen… not even the Maid.

At the same time.

In the shrine, a young Miko sat kneeling in front of the table, her eyes lightly closed, and in front of the table, a black card lay on the open page of a book.

The young witch slowly opened her eyes. “Are you looking for me?” Boss Luo nodded slightly and said softly, “The real…

Miss Nagato Tsuruko?”
