Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 243 The Power of Takamagahara
Tamura's eye twitched slightly. He had already experienced this feeling last night, and now he was going to have to go through it again. It was simply too much of a rip-off...

That Chinese guy must have gone crazy. He clearly has great strength, but he insists on taking unconventional and unorthodox approaches. What kind of exorcist carries a powerful sniper rifle when he goes out to exorcise evil spirits?
Besides, this is South Korea, and the Japanese occupation also took place here. Aren't the Chinese people being a bit too nosy?

Since you're so radical, let's fight!
If the headless god of the Land of the Dead is so inferior, then there must be gods in Takamagahara!
After Tamura fell into demonhood, in order to strengthen his body, he also worshipped the headless demons of the Land of the Dead, which is hell. As long as he offered fresh, desperate lives as sacrifices, he could continuously grow stronger.

He had hoped that the headless ghost would take action against the Chinese, but unexpectedly, it withdrew its faith and didn't even have the courage to make contact. It was truly an insult to the spirit of the island nation's ghosts.

Enraged, Tamura kicked the cracked statue aside.

He opened his small personal bag, took out a pale mask and placed it on the altar, then took out a red and yellow robe and draped it over his body. He held a red paper umbrella in his left hand and made an Amaterasu hand seal with his right.

Masks are a type of Noh mask, used in Japanese opera and music, and also in many ceremonies.

This mask is the mask of Amaterasu, the goddess of the sea. In the mythology of this island nation, the world is divided into three parts: the upper part is the pure and flawless world inhabited by the gods, Takamagahara; the middle part is the world inhabited by humans, filled with grudges and hatred, the "Chinese" world; and the lower part, the underworld, is the most filthy and unclean place.

Amaterasu Omikami resides in Takamagahara, and is also the supreme ruler of this place. She is the highest-ranking deity in the island nation's mythology and is regarded as the embodiment of the sun...

Tamura is on a dangerous spree. He is a living, breathing human being, a Shinto priest, and a being from the middle level of the world.

As a result, he was corrupted and turned into a demon, becoming a monster in the lower realm of the Underworld.

Now, this being that is both human and demon, attempting to use the divine power of Amaterasu, the supreme goddess of Takamagahara, to repel the Chinese, will likely be shattered by that divine power in an instant...

The mask placed on the altar trembled incessantly.

Tamura's heart was in his throat. Suddenly, his face contorted, and he lay on the ground howling in pain. Thick smoke billowed from his reddish skin, as if he were being burned by a high temperature.

His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Amaterasu, spare me! I became like this purely to spread the faith of the island nation! Only by destroying the faiths of other countries can we get involved. Now a Chinese person has interfered with my plans; he is an enemy and should be purified..."

The mask stopped trembling.

Despite the pain, Tamura crawled and scrambled to the mask, kowtowing frantically: "I have always been the most devout believer of Amaterasu. Even if Amaterasu wants to burn me, she still cannot tolerate heretics existing in this world."

The mask slapped against Tamura's cheek, and a pure white power surged into his body.

The forces of Takamagahara and Yomi were in conflict, which, although extremely painful, undeniably brought great power to Tamura.

He picked up the large package from the ground and rushed outside the cave. He placed a small torii gate on the mountain path. The basic structure of this gate consists of two pillars and a crossbeam. It is mainly used to distinguish the boundary between the world of gods and the human world. Once you enter this gate, it means you have entered the world of gods.

Next, he used a red hemp rope to wrap around the trees surrounding the cave, with white talismans and bells every meter along the rope.

Finish these.

There was absolutely no stock left in Tamura's belongings.

He never imagined he would encounter an opponent stronger than himself in Gucheng, so apart from the Amaterasu Omikami mask and the headless demon statue, he basically didn't bring any decent magical artifacts.

Return to the cave.

Tamura stood in the center of the altar, holding a paper fan, bending over and swaying his body, jumping around. This was a dance belonging to the gods, which, according to legend, could defeat all enemies.

Ding-a-ling... The hemp rope outside trembled, and the bell kept ringing.

Tamura's expression tightened; the Chinese man had indeed arrived.

Two figures appeared on the mountain road: Li Xuan and the female mountain god. The former held a compass and kept adjusting the direction, finally fixing his gaze on the slightly hidden cave ahead.

Li Xuan stopped in his tracks.

The mountain goddess looked at the empty mountain path ahead and asked in confusion, "Have we arrived yet?"

The hemp rope represents a barrier, and the torii gate is a boundary. With just a few words, Tamura borrowed the power of the gods, and naturally, he could easily deceive the eyes of the female mountain god.

Li Xuan hummed in agreement, and the 1.4-meter-long Miao sword fell into his hand. He said, "Go hide nearby. This ghost seems to have become much stronger. When the fight starts, it probably won't be able to take care of you."

Upon hearing this, the female mountain goddess immediately walked to the side.

Although it's South Korea, there are no teen idol dramas or lines like "No, we have to face this together" or "Don't even think about leaving me."

The mountain goddess left.

Li Xuan's pupils split in two, moving back and forth.

In his eyes, he saw a huge torii gate standing on the mountain road. It belonged to a Japanese shrine and was easily recognizable. The gate was filled with mist and filled with murderous intent.

Last night, Tamura was clearly just a ghost, but today he suddenly started acting like a god?

Li Xuan suddenly thought of the Amaterasu mask that flashed by in the movie. Could it be that this was the thing that gave Tamura the ability to challenge him?
He looked at the torii gate, took out two bundles of explosives from the gourd, lit them, and threw them out. These were special products from the late Qing Dynasty. Because they were not from the real world, but rather from the fictional story background of "The Thousand-Year Zombie King", they were extremely powerful!
The explosives fell into the torii gate, and with two muffled sounds, flashes of light appeared, and countless cracks appeared on the torii gate.

it works?

He threw out two more bundles of explosives. With this bombing, the torii gate was shattered and fell to the ground, turning into small parts. It turned out to be a trick.

The scene was shrouded in mist.

Li Xuan felt tremendous resistance as he took a step forward.

A muffled, deep voice came from the depths of the fog. It was Tamura. He danced as he said, "Chinese people, we have no grudges against each other, so why are you targeting us like this in this remote part of South Korea?"

"If you're willing to leave, I'm willing to pay you a considerable reward, how about eight hundred thousand US dollars? That's enough for you to live a good life back in China."

Li Xuan didn't speak. He took a deep breath and exhaled a flame from his mouth and nose into the smoke. Soon, black smoke swirled around in the mist.

Tamura's voice was angry: "I have already treated you so politely, why are you being so rude? Is it because the money is too little?"

Li Xuan raised his Miao sword and slashed fiercely at the location where the mist was mixed with black smoke. There was a sound of something breaking, and the mist gradually dissipated, revealing a hidden cave surrounded by tangled red hemp ropes.
