Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 391 The Chess Game Part 3

Wu Chen has obtained another card.

He now controls eight vassal states, giving him formidable military strength on paper. But even so, his opponents will not give up easily.

Or rather, using the refusal to 'give up easily' as a cover for the secrets it hides.

I'm using this card.

The game of chess had somehow turned into a card game, but this didn't hold any special significance for the outcome between the two players. An exquisitely crafted card then appeared from the white whale phantom's arm, or rather, its forefin, and its contents became clear to Wu Chen's eyes.

The inscription on the card reads "Tianzhijiao".

There are also religions as popular as AL on the land of Jepan. The rise of the Celestial Will Cult is because in the distant past, when the powerful demon Chabiel led his demon army to invade Jepan, a demon named Mooncake, who disguised himself as a monk, set up a powerful sealing array to dismantle and imprison the demon.

The grace of salvation—this is the great righteousness that the Church of Heaven holds in the land of Jepan. Meanwhile, Ludrasahim, wandering outside the theater stage, sought out the Demon Realm created and hidden by the Demon King in order to use this card, and then devoured the entire sub-plane in one gulp.

The Demon King's incredulous howl still echoed in the void.

The billions of demons in the demon realm couldn't even struggle or resist; they were instantly annihilated by the will of the Void Whale, like snowflakes boiling in a pot.

The demon race was practically extinct at this moment. Apart from a few lucky individuals who remained on the continent and were unable to return to the demon realm before the world closed in, no trace of this species remained—their deaths became cards in Ludrasahim's hands, and now, he could use this connection to issue a command.

The Heavenly Will Cult will rise and condemn the Takeda lineage as enemies of humanity.

A flag was raised.

The entire Jepan was instantly filled with the commands of the Heavenly Will Cult—'Takeda Shingen has blasphemed the true Dharma; he is now an enemy of Buddha. All followers of the Heavenly Will Cult who can harm him will be pleasing to the true Dharma!'

It's unclear whether this thing should be considered a variant of Buddhism or Hinduism. But it certainly had considerable destructive power, shaking the foundations of the eight-state alliance that the Takeda forces had just established. Many ignorant old farmers who had spent their entire lives farming and knew nothing about the Heavenly Will Sect except for the officials in charge, raised the banner of rebellion amidst the clamor.

The Takeda forces were thus temporarily rendered incapable of action. Even with Wu Chen's extraordinary abilities, ensuring the loyalty of his close retainers, he could not prevent his soldiers from losing their fighting capacity. And the impact of this rebellion didn't stop there; the Mori front, already engaged in fierce combat with the Shimazu demons, also lost their valuable reinforcements at this moment.

"Sorry, the Heavenly Will Sect has offered more money. The Gunner Mercenary Team must return." The beautiful captain from Tanegashima shook her head regretfully at the leader of the Mori family and quickly led her subordinates away. As she left, another reinforcement of the Mori family also left the area.

"We have to go back to protect the Akashi family," the androids said firmly, leaving the Mori family no room to persuade them to stay or refuse.

Because they couldn't do it—their army was also thrown into chaos by the call of the Celestial Church. Many soldiers clamored to leave the camp and join the Celestial Church's punitive expedition. Others skipped the clamor altogether, packing their bags and leaving the Mori camp.

"Damn it, damn it!" the leader of the force cried out in a fit of impotent rage.

Soon, the Mori's lines collapsed. Vast tracts of territory were swiftly captured by the monster alliance, and even the last remaining main city was struggling to hold on; defeat was only a matter of time.

The outcome is thus reversed. And that is the power of on-site card printing.

But Wu Chen was not in a hurry.

Why was he in such a hurry? This sudden and unexpected turn of events wasn't actually unexpected. After all, he was also a player who had experienced the entire game and knew what secrets were hidden on this land.

He knew that there was a way.

While the outside world was thrown into chaos by the actions of the Celestial Church, he, along with the witch Yuqian Fenghua whom he had deliberately sought out, set foot on another religious site on the land of Jepan.

The Shrine Maiden Organization is the birthplace of all the shrine maidens, priests, and even Onmyoji in Jepan. Their leader, Natori, is a gentle woman with long white hair, who solemnly received Wuchen and inquired about his purpose.

"Have you come here to seek pleasure with a familiar priestess, lord of the Takeda clan?"

Wu Chen waved his hand, indicating his denial.

“I have come here to end your duties. I will erase the Yamata no Orochi that you have sealed away.”

There are two important points on the land of Jepan. One is that the Demon Mooncake sealed away the demon chabiel, while the other is the even more ancient secondary god Amaterasu, who sealed away the Yamata no Orochi, which nearly destroyed the land. Thus, the religion has two pillars, and to refute the Heavenly Will Cult, one must rely on the influence of the Shrine Maiden Organization.

"You jest," the white-haired priestess bowed slightly, not believing Wu Chen's wild tale. "It does surprise me that you know such an ancient story as the Yamata no Orochi. But it is a Yamata no Orochi that even the gods cannot kill, only seal away. Perhaps you are overestimating yourself."

"I'm not here to ask for your opinions, I'm just here to inform you."

Wu Chen waved his hand, giving the order.

The temple gates of the Shrine Maiden Organization were violently smashed open, and elite samurai, heavily armored and still loyal to Takeda despite the influence of the Tenshi Cult, rushed into the area. Natori tried to pick up her bow and arrow, which she hadn't used in a long time, but was easily knocked away by the Shrine Maiden. As a result, she was forced to obey the Shrine Maiden's orders.

The summoning ritual was forcibly carried out. Having already resigned herself to her fate, Yuqian Fenghua stepped forward, acting as the medium to awaken the enormous serpentine shadow lurking beneath the shrine's underground.

That was indeed a very powerful serpent—comparable to a second-level god, which naturally meant a formidable fighting power equivalent to, or even exceeding, the average Demon Lord. In other words, if this card fell into Wu Chen's hands, then the Demon Lord card that Ludrasasim was preparing would lose its decisive power.

and so……

Wu Chen threw the Wrecking Ball down.

Even though he was just a shadow now, he could still use the techniques of the Wrecking Ball. And just as the giant snake below awoke and was utterly dazed by the Wrecking Ball, Yu Qianfenghua, already devoured by the snake, heard Wu Chen's voice.

"Your duty is not over yet, priestess."

"Now, you must continue to fulfill your agreement with me."
