I'm a villain in the superhero world.

After Lü Buyi started fighting the Great Tengu, he witnessed a barrier slowly appearing in the sky above the southern shore of the sea capital.

They strolled leisurely down the street together, oblivious to everyone else, with the alluring and dangerous Snake Princess.

The current head of the Onmyo-ryo, the Onmyo-shō-no-kami—Tsuchimikado Takato—asked:

"Faced with the Grand Commander's alter ego, does the Emperor Emeritus have a chance to win?"

He and the Snake Princess are talking here now, not for elegance or any other reason.

—They were just talking inside the barrier when they were almost killed by Lü Buyi from a distance.

Unable to find a secluded spot for the time being, they could only hide on the street, covered in dust, and talk and watch the battle.

"Probably... no." The Snake Princess chuckled, giving her answer.

"Then why did you encourage the Emperor Emeritus to confront the Grand Commander?" Tsuchimikado asked, puzzled. "I must remind you, the Emperor Emeritus is currently our strongest card."

"We don't know how the Grand Commander found out about us, but if the Emperor dies here, we're all doomed."

"At that point, let alone the plans for three days from now, whether we can even survive today will depend on the President's mood."

"Are you scared?" the Snake Princess retorted.

"You're kidding me, you damn woman! Aren't you scared? If I had known the President was here, I would never have gotten involved in this mess—"

Tsuchimikado made no attempt to hide his regret: "Tell me what other trump cards you have left. Otherwise, with the Grand Commander around, even if everything goes smoothly, we won't be able to take the sun away in the end."

The Snake Princess didn't argue, but she still wouldn't budge: "It's not time for you to know yet."

"Not the right time...hehe..."

"Whether I know or not doesn't matter, I just hope you really do have a way—"

Tsuchimikado Takato stopped in his tracks, his gaze turning cold for the first time:

"I'm warning you, don't try to be clever or use any tricks. Those things are useless against the President. Without absolute power, if we force the President to get serious and descend in his true form, we'll all die."

"He is the decision-maker and the sword-wielder of the Far East region—"

"Don't even mention you, even if he killed me on the spot, it would just be a matter of him writing a report, approving the order, and finally issuing a compensation payment."

The Snake Princess didn't speak, but she seemed to have something to rely on, remaining fearless.

"I really don't know where your confidence comes from..."

Tsuchimikado sighed, then couldn't help but ask her another question: "In the end, at that treacherous banquet, you should have just had the Emperor Emeritus personally take away Taiyang, instead of doing all this delaying tactics!"

"Now look what's happened. We've dragged this out so long that the Grand Commander's avatar has arrived, destroying our barrier in the process, and even the Emperor is in mortal danger—"

"Are you really not a double agent planted by the President, just waiting for us to plot against the Sun, and then joining forces to wipe us out?"

The Snake Princess merely scoffed, looking at her great-grandchild as if she were a fool: "That's a good idea, but if we don't wait for the various families to fight over it, do you expect us to face a sun that could awaken at any moment?"

"Is Lü Buyi someone to be trifled with? Does the saying 'the sun takes turns shining on you' mean he's easy to deal with?"

"That's still better than now!" Tsuchimikado retorted with a sneer. "Without the Emperor Emeritus, how are you going to take the sun away from under everyone's noses in three days?"

"Don't be so pessimistic. No one in the plan is indispensable, not even me."

The Snake Princess shook her head, her eyes filled with an extremely obscure and unfathomable meaning: "If someone is driving all of this, then naturally they won't just sit idly by and watch us pawns be unable to move forward."

"No matter what obstacles lie ahead, we just need to keep going and see what happens."

"Don't make 'leaving it to fate' sound so noble."

Tsuchimikado sighed repeatedly, "The Emperor and I must have been insane to collude with you in order to resurrect our ancestor."

This time, the Snake Princess did not answer; she simply gazed into the distance.

Only when a beam of white light, visible only to those with extraordinary power, appeared, did she slowly speak:

"The [Curved Realm] has opened; Lü Buyi and Emperor Chongde are about to make their real move—"

"Whether the Emperor Emeritus can survive and whether the plan can continue, let's wait and see."

-

At the fifth energy level and above, even on the Earth's surface, they would still be subject to relentless suppression by the [Three Philosophers System].

However, even when suppressed, its destructive power is enough to destroy a city.

Especially when multiple fifth-level beings clash, the destructive power becomes even more terrifying.

Therefore, to avoid interfering with the mortal world, when the fifth level forces engage in full-scale battles, they generally do not set the battlefield in reality.

【Curved Realm】—This is a phenomenon produced by the operation of the 【Three Philosophers System】. Due to its independent spatial nature and vast scope, it can be described as a natural dueling arena!

Starting from the fourth energy level, those who possess extraordinary power can begin to attempt to enter and exit certain parts of the curved realm.

Upon reaching the fifth energy level, one can freely choose and open the celestial realm anytime, anywhere.

The number of realms is infinite, so even if one goes all out, destroying everything within them is not a problem at all.

Therefore, this is the most suitable battlefield for fifth-level beings to fight each other!

In fact, Emperor Chongde intended to confront Lü Buyi at the auction three days later.

I will do my best to hold him off and create an opportunity for Snake Princess to take Ji Mingyang away.

However, the plan was unexpectedly exposed ahead of time, and Lü Buyi even took the initiative to challenge them, so the confrontation could only be brought forward.

Only when the two actually clashed did Emperor Chongde realize that he had been misled by the Snake Princess...

The person in front of him didn't use the power of Taiyin; he only relied on the Penglai Qi Cultivation Technique to protect the woman beside him while also blocking all of his attacks with one hand.

"His avatar is definitely stronger than mine."

When you encounter someone stronger than yourself, your first thought is to run away—that's the mindset of a weak person.

But for a powerful figure like Emperor Chongde, all he could do was fight with all his might.

But... after hundreds of attacks, leaving thousands of mountains in the entire Qu territory in ruins.

Panting heavily, his gaze remained fixed on Lü Buyi, who was completely unharmed.

Emperor Chongde already understood.

Even if the person in front of me is just an avatar, he is definitely not an opponent that can be defeated by simply exerting all my strength.

If you're not prepared to die, it's probably wishful thinking to even survive against him!

"What, is that all?" Seeing that Emperor Chongde had briefly stopped his attack, Lü Buyi stretched out his hand and began to count the moves he had received.

"Hirasan Jirobo, Iizunasaburo, Kuramasan Monk Shobo, Ominezanzenkibo, Hidehikoyama Hozenbo, Hakuho Sagamibo, Oyama Hakkibo..."

"Isn't there one unused aspect among the Eight Phases of the Heavenly Dog?"

"I've seen your information. I heard that you can summon 940 million tengu using the [Atago Yama Tarobo] technique."

"Come on, use it. If you can force me to use my hands, I'll praise you."

Throughout, Lü Buyi's tone was always incredibly flippant.

Just as he said at the beginning, this battle was nothing but a joke to him.

In fact, if I hadn't read the manga, I wouldn't have felt the urge to toy with him after Emperor Sutoku said he would get rid of me.

Lu Buyi didn't care at all about him, the weakest BOSS in the "Child of Yin and Yang" series.

But now that he has taken notice, whether or not Emperor Chongde can survive depends on what he can do.

As expected, he was determined to give it his all.

According to legend, Atago-yama Tarobo was the supreme commander who led 940 million tengu.

Tarobo, Fugenbo, Sanmibo, Mitsuibo, Tokinbo, Tennanbo, Hekibo, and Karanbo are all his subordinate Tengu.

They are enshrined on five peaks: Asahi Peak, Ouji Peak, Takao Mountain, Ryujo Mountain, and Kamazo Mountain.

It is the leader of all demons, monsters, and evil spirits.

—According to this story, Xu Fu once bestowed upon Emperor Chongde almost the same extraordinary power.

Under Lü Buyi's gaze, Emperor Chongde opened his hands in front of his chest and then slowly clasped them together.

「オン・ギリギリ・バサラ・ウン・ケン（OM・only benefit only benefit・Fazheluo・hum・剣）」

Word by word, the curse is called out.

Thus, from the moment Atago Yamataroubo, the strongest of the eight immortals, appeared.

Five mountain peaks suddenly rose up from behind Emperor Chongde, appeared out of thin air, and then gradually took shape.

Nine hundred and forty million celestial dogs converged into an overwhelming torrent and military force, plunging down upon the land.

We are determined to sweep away all enemies who dare to resist!
