Chapter 570 Impure World Reincarnation VS. Army of Shikigami
"Have we already encountered Abe no Seimei's army ahead?"

A huge black cloud drifted from Shimane Prefecture toward Tottori Prefecture, and a group of 'experts' stood on it, with Kyuu Sora Yua naturally leading the way.

"Alright, charge up there!"

As the young lady excitedly waved her hand, everyone else looked over:

Marshall Teach!
"Send the third and fourth teams to the Ice Mountain; the fifth team attacks the enemies near Wakasugi Gorge."

Holding the tablet map, Teach gave the order, and immediately three teams of experts flew out on clouds: the great demons of the Warring States period almost all possessed the ability to 'climb clouds'; they were to serve as the mobile force, responsible for filling in dangerous areas on the front line.

Unfortunately, this so-called 'army' was cobbled together by Jiu Kong Yao Ai 'single-handedly'.

In terms of strength, Jiu Kong Yao Ai can be considered a 'powerful dragon' without a doubt.

But if you ask her to strategize and deploy troops, even modern capitalist elites don't teach that.

So the problem fell to Teach.

Despite Teach's rugged, burly appearance, he was once a history professor. Even if he hadn't seen a pig run, he had at least eaten pork. Commanding these monsters to 'fill in the gaps' was no problem for him.

"Miss Jiukong, are we just going to push our way through like this?"

Kagome Higurashi on the other side couldn't help but ask,
As for why she's here, it's because her 'boyfriend' Inuyasha was conscripted and she had to come along.

"Of course, I'll force that man to show himself, or I'll kill all his shikigami!"

She charged straight into Heian-kyo, facing countless 'hundred demons' plus Abe no Seimei. Even the arrogant young lady felt she had no chance of winning.

Since that's the case, she simply "packed up" all the powerful figures from the "Warring States Period" and brought them out to advance towards Heian-kyo: with so many cannon fodder going up, no matter what the enemy's plans are, she'll be able to find out something.

If it weren't for the fact that the Yellow Springs in that other 'divine plane' were too deep and there weren't many experts left, Jiu Kong Yao Ai wouldn't have even planned to let that demi-plane go.

Moreover, what Jiu Kong Yao said about 'killing all the shikigami' was no joke: among all the strong people, Miss Jiu Kong was among the group with the fewest kills; but it was not because she was kind, but simply because her eyes were always on Abe no Seimei.

Before resolving this 'life-or-death enemy,' Jiu Kong Yao Ai prioritizes stability in everything she does.

But now, she feels that she is strong enough.
Revenge is on the horizon!
"All troops, attack!"

"Are these experts from the Warring States period?"

With the 'Great Demons' joining the battle, the situation began to turn against the 'Hyakki' who had come from Heian-kyo: despite the slow pace of their advance, the battle lines did not lie.

Watching the game through a mirror

Nagisa Ichiyo, who had initially been watching the show with an indifferent attitude, couldn't help but become nervous.

As a close 'friend' of Yu, Ichiyo naturally knew about the secret cooperation between the island nation and 'Abe no Seimei'.

Aside from the conflict of Abe no Seimei having to repay a favor to Orochi, there was actually no deep-seated hatred between the island nation and this strongest Onmyoji in history.

If Abe no Seimei loses, then what about Yu-kun, who is 'opposite' him?
In Ichiyo's mind, Yu is still just a 'person'.

Or rather, she chooses to believe that.

"Don't panic,"

Yu remained calm, saying that this was nothing: those who were making moves now were all wolf and tiger level, and there were hardly any 'weak ghosts', so it was just a small skirmish.

"Even that great Onmyoji isn't taking it seriously yet, look closely—"

With a flick of her index finger and thumb, Yu magnified the image in the mirror.

? !
"This is."

Noticing the situation on the battlefield, Nagisa Ichiyo was taken aback;

The fallen 'shikigami' corpses turned into tattered paper figures in the chaos of battle?
"That great Onmyoji's 'Shikigami Technique' is incredibly skillful. Despite the fierce fighting, not a single 'person' has actually died."

Under Abe no Seimei's command, all the 'shikigami' that die will turn into tattered paper figures. So far, apart from some losses of weapons and armor, there has been no loss at all. That's right, the loss of spiritual power is unavoidable, but with the 'foundation' of a great Onmyoji, he probably wouldn't care about such a loss.

In fact, it's not just 'Abe no Seimei'; most of the extraordinary beings in this world recover their spiritual power very quickly.

The official explanation is that the spiritual energy of the entire world is constantly recovering, just like water is beginning to accumulate in a pond, so the fish naturally won't feel thirsty.

The real reason was that someone made the Divine Tree continuously spread its chakra in order to make the 'cattle and horses' level up. Ordinary people wouldn't feel much of a difference, but for superhumans, just absorbing this free chakra and having their 'mana bars' grow so long would make an elite Jonin who was out of breath after just a few ninjutsu envious to the point of tears.

In the Naruto world, once chakra is used up, it can only be slowly replenished on its own.

On this planet that Yu is constantly transforming, most extraordinary beings can hardly fight until they run out of mana, because the outcome is already decided before that.

"Amazing!"

Nagisa Ichiyo could only express her admiration.

Not long after her rebirth, she drank the "Transcendental Potion" and became a Transcendent, but her strength was terrible.

Although he had previously gone to Mount Koya for actual combat, he was only at the level of "a hundred or so demons not being able to get close to him"; he was a real fake superhuman—but what did it matter? For the people around Yu, training his strength was just a "hobby" rather than a necessary survival skill.

Moreover, the relationship has now progressed further.
As for strength, you can level up effortlessly.

"what?!"

The information that the shikigami under Abe no Seimei's command would turn into paper dolls after they died quickly reached the ears of Kyuuhou Yuai, who was on the dark clouds behind him.

"That despicable man—"

"Such a large-scale 'substitution technique', that Abe no Seimei is very strong."

Inuyasha sighed, saying that they had also encountered a guy who was good at using the 'Substitution Jutsu': eight out of ten times it was a clone, and the other two times it was a substitute, he was extremely sneaky.

Even the guy who could eventually go toe-to-toe with the brothers Inuyasha and Sesshomaru could only create one substitute: this technique consumes precious materials and requires a large amount of 'demon power,' so only some top-tier demons would use it.

Now, everyone in Abe no Seimei's army possesses a 'paper doll,' which means—

"Report!"

A monster with the head of an eagle and the ability of 'farsight' knelt down on one knee to report to Jiu Kong Yao Ai.

"The enemy's second batch of reinforcements has arrived on the battlefield, and those guys seem to be the same batch that was killed before."

It's normal for monsters to look exactly alike, but it's not normal if a large number of identical beings appear, especially those with gorgeous clothes and unique appearances.

"Hmph, you think you can leave me helpless like this?"

But who is Jiu Kong Yao Ai?
"Bring the offerings up!"

At her command, the monster with the ability to "space" immediately opened its mouth and spat out coffins.

In the Warring States period, there are also many extraordinary beings who are unwilling to 'submit'. Jiu Kong Yao Ai has his 'subordinates' collect them. Of course, Jiu Kong's own snake has the ability to store space, but if he has subordinates, why does he have to do it himself?
Snapped,

With her hands clasped together, she turned to face the coffins and shouted.

"Reincarnation from the dirty soil!"

Knock knock knock,

The numerous coffins began to tremble violently.
The next second, coffin lids were overturned one after another, and figures sat up one after another.

Even XXX would be furious upon hearing this—it's no joke when it comes to Jiu Kong Yao Ai, it's a stark reality.

"here it is?"

"The underworld? No, we clearly have bodies!"

A fat man dressed as a warrior, with a long, pointed mouth and upturned corners that almost reached his ears, scratched his head; next to him was a handsome young man with a small braid and holding a lightning blade.

Thunder Beast Brothers: Flying, Filling the Sky;
"Am I not dead?"

The large tanuki wielding the demon sword "Duogui" was completely bewildered. This creature was named "A-He," and its demon sword "Duogui" could absorb the power of others and imitate them—it was originally a formidable demon, but it foolishly tried to absorb the power of "Congyunya" and ended up killing itself.

Ever-changing: Ah-Raccoon

"Hehehe, I never thought that this old woman would be resurrected as a puppet."

Amidst the shrill, piercing laughter, an elderly woman sat up from the coffin, carrying a huge scythe in one hand and a medicine jar in the other.

"Litao?!"

Inuyasha and his group were shocked.

This is the guy who stole Kikyo's ashes and resurrected her, causing Inuyasha to inexplicably be "two-timing".

"What a brilliant resurrection technique!"

However, the old woman didn't even glance at Inuyasha and the others; instead, she was engrossed in studying her own body.

"Much better than my 'clay making'."

"Hmph, absurd!"

In the other coffin, a man with half his face covered by a mask, holding a round-headed shovel weapon, and wearing crimson armor looked around.

"Even I, someone who uses the power of the underworld, can be controlled by the power of the underworld?"

Death ghost!
The true master of the Netherworld Crescent Moon Breaker

However, his control over the power of the Underworld and half of his face were taken away by Inu no Taisho and sealed into the 'Tenseiga', thus establishing that person's fame.

"Hahahaha~~~!!"

"Who would have thought, who would have thought, that we old folks would reunite in this way?"

From the other coffin, a figure dressed in 'Daimyo' armor stood up;

He wore a long robe over his armor, and his cat-like face was filled with domineering and wildness: two huge fangs like those of a saber-toothed tiger protruded, and arrogant spiral horns adorned his forehead, ears, and neck—the very same ones that had once fought against the 'Dog General'.

Leopard Cat Lord: My friend!
"Hey, how long are you going to lie here?"

As the Leopard Cat Lord turned to look at the last coffin, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha on the other side both changed their expressions.

A figure dressed in a white kimono with blue floral patterns, an overcoat of armor, and a sword hanging at his waist stood up.

This was a middle-aged human warrior, handsome and robust, with an elegant demeanor; he had long, silver-gray hair styled with bangs parted to the sides and tied in a high ponytail. Deep blue demonic markings adorned both sides of his face. While his gaze lacked any fierce or domineering air, it conveyed an aura of 'invincibility'.

"King Douya!"

Numerous voices, filled with anger, fear, and surprise, rang out simultaneously.

"Many old friends. Hmm?"

Dog General, who rose from the coffin, looked at Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.

Leaving aside their familiar bloodline, the fact that Sesshomaru resembles him from childhood, and the red fur coat he gave to Izayoi, already speaks volumes.

"Children"

"That's enough for our reminiscing,"

A haughty voice interrupted the dog general's words.
Jiu Kongyaoai resurrected these 'old guys' from the Warring States period not so they could 'fulfill their dreams' or 'visit relatives'.

"Go and take down those 'shikigami'!"

Why should we listen to you?

The enormous dragon-shaped monster stopped abruptly halfway through its speech.

This creature is called 'Dragon Bone Spirit'. It was one of Dog General's former enemies and the top demon who severely injured Dog General, causing Dog General to die at the hands of his rival when he rushed home.

However, this powerful top-tier demon, classified as a ghost-level being in this world, was rendered motionless by a mere glance from Jiu Kong Yao Ai.

"I'm the one who pulled you out of the underworld. If you don't want to go back to that place, then get to work!"
