High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

The Yamata no Orochi didn't have time to think further and continued to contact the other divine messengers, wanting to know exactly how many people had been lost.

So he sent these messengers out of the temple to see what was happening around them.

At the same time, he also sent out people such as Hikawa-go and William to search in all directions from the capital to see if there were any other Japanese.

After Hikawa and the others left, Yamata no Orochi received messages from the other divine messengers.

But these messages chilled him to the bone; they were all replies, and everyone around him had disappeared!

"Baka yarou!"

The Yamata no Orochi roared angrily, and suddenly slapped its tail, causing an explosion in the sky.

However, good news came very quickly.

All major cities in the north are safe and sound; no one has suddenly disappeared.

After receiving the information, Orochi did not hesitate and rushed to the northern city as quickly as possible.

These people are incredibly important to him; without them, it would take far more resources to descend upon this place.

Of course, without a population, their presence here would be of no use.

Without a population, there is no faith, no source of energy, and it becomes a dead zone; its arrival would be a losing proposition.

At this moment, Chen Mo also noticed the unusual activity at the temple.

The sudden communication between those divine messengers and the temple's statues was detected by Chen Mo's spiritual power.

He immediately guessed that Orochi must have discovered his actions.

But Chen Mo did not stop his actions; instead, he quickened his pace.

He was too lazy to even search for treasures; waving the Human Emperor's Banner, he only collected people's souls.

Even when conducting a comprehensive sweep, Chen Mo's speed was extremely fast; people within a 5000-kilometer radius had their souls taken away within a second.

The moment it finished collecting, it teleported to another area of ​​5000 kilometers.

A radius of 5000 kilometers is a large circle with a radius of 5000 kilometers, and its area is enormous.

And so, at a speed of 5000 kilometers per second, Chen Mo collected the souls of the Japanese people at a speed 10 times faster than before.

When the Yamata no Orochi travels through space and appears in another city.

Upon using his spiritual senses, he discovered that there was no sign of life, only countless corpses, and he knew something was wrong.

The eight snake heads roared to the sky, and the enormous sound made the sky vibrate.

"Baka yarou! Damn it!"

At this moment, the blue snake head remained very calm and analyzed:

"Judging from the manner in which these people died, they all died because their souls were killed, or their souls were taken away."

"To be able to collect human souls on such a large scale, one's strength must be at least that of a Martial God."

"However, on Earth, martial gods cannot exist! Therefore, their strength should be the same as ours."

"Moreover, one should possess a divine artifact, a divine artifact specifically for harvesting souls. Only in this way can one harvest people's souls so quickly."

The other seven smugglers nodded in agreement with his analysis.

"This group is just as you described, but Blue Snake, do you have a way to bring them to justice?"

"Of course! Using the artifact consumes a huge amount of energy (10 points) each time. As long as we're fast enough, we'll definitely catch up with them!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's chase after them!"

So, Yamata no Orochi immediately used spatial teleportation to travel to the next city.

However, when they arrived in the next city, they were met with the same desolation.

The same thing happened: corpses scattered all over the mountains.

"Baka yarou!"

The Yamata no Orochi cursed and hurriedly headed to the next city, wanting to catch up with Chen Mo.

At this point, Chen Mo had already collected two-thirds of the population of Japan, bringing his total number of souls to 12 billion.

At this moment, the young emperor transmitted his voice:

"Master, the space in the Human Emperor Banner is not enough. If we collect more souls, it may burst the space."

"It's alright. Absorb some souls yourself, purify them, and replenish your losses."

"It can also be used to repair your physical body, since there are plenty of souls anyway. If there is any excess energy, it can be used to nourish my soul."

"We've already slaughtered two-thirds of their population, so we can't let the remaining third go to waste. If we don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring."

"We must get the remaining population under control!"

Chen Mo said firmly, "In my previous life, I couldn't destroy that country because I didn't have the strength. Now that I have such great strength, I don't need to be so merciful."

Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!

If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly; if you're going to cut the weeds, you have to nip them

"Yes, Master, I will do as you say. I will collect the souls and purify them at the same time."

"These souls possess too much resentment, which I use to repair my body. If there's too much energy, I'll hide it away so you can't absorb it directly."

"If you absorb it directly, it will affect the quality of your soul."

"I understand. Do whatever you want! Okay, let's continue collecting."

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Mo's speed did not decrease; using the original art collection, he quickly collected the remaining Japanese souls.

Although the Yamata no Orochi is skilled in the laws of space, Chen Mo has also mastered the laws of space. He can teleport to the next location in less than a second each time, and his speed is not slow either.

Therefore, every time the Yamata no Orochi arrived at a location, it only saw corpses and never Chen Mo.

Every time it saw those corpses, the Yamata no Orochi would fly into a rage of impotence, its tail lashing wildly at the surrounding space, shattering it.

The buildings and corpses on the ground were also smashed to dust.

After visiting several locations, only to find corpses, Orochi knew that this was not a way to catch up with the enemy.

So he immediately stopped and used his ultimate trump card.

As the incantation was chanted, the eight tails swayed rhythmically in a certain pattern.

Within the territory of Japan, beams of light suddenly rose from the ground, shooting straight into the sky.

Upon closer inspection, you'll find that these beams of light are all shooting out from the temple.

Chen Mo, who was searching for a soul, naturally noticed this situation. After analyzing the locations of these temples, he realized that Orochi was constructing a large array.

Chen Mo naturally wouldn't let the great formation take shape. While reaping souls, he also destroyed the statues and messengers within the range covered by his spiritual power.

Because the Yamata no Orochi found out, Chen Mo even took the soul of the divine messenger.

After the divine messenger's soul was taken into the Human Emperor's Banner, it was isolated from the outside world, so the Yamata no Orochi could not locate the divine messenger's position at all.

The Human Emperor's Banner is a top-grade divine artifact, while the Eight-Headed Serpent is only a half-step Martial God, so it naturally cannot be positioned.

Chen Mo soon figured out that the arrays together formed a giant sacrificial array.

Once formed, it will sacrifice all living beings within the formation.

This is a fight to the death, a race against time. The remaining population will be decided by whoever is the fastest.
