Death Valley, California, USA.
This is recognized as the most dangerous and terrifying place on Blue Star.
In this valley, strange and supernatural phenomena often occur. Giant rocks move on their own, and strange footprints frequently appear out of nowhere on dry riverbeds.
At the stroke of midnight, ghostly roars and bellows are always heard, chilling the bone and striking terror into the heart.
Only a small number of cultivators know why this is the case, for this place connects to hell, and beneath it, thirteen Titan giants are suppressed.
Black smog churned as Tian Tu appeared within Death Valley.
Tian Tu floated in mid-air, enveloped in darkness, his gaze cold. He formed hand seals and slammed them down towards the ground.
"Break!"
Terrifying energy struck, instantly shaking the earth. The entire valley rumbled, cracking with fissures.
The seal in this place was thus destroyed.
"We are free."
From underground, deafening voices emerged.
Immediately.
Countless clods of earth and rocks shot into the sky, the ground split open, and massive bodies, one after another, broke free from their restraints and crawled out from beneath the earth.
The air was instantly filled with a bloody and violent aura.
"Zeus, Odin, you traitors, prepare to die."
Each Titan giant stood ten thousand meters tall, reaching for the heavens. They roared towards the sky, shattering the clouds, and even the stars outside the firmament seemed to tremble.
Back then, the Titan race had gone mad, their heads hot with impulse, and they attacked Hua Xia, only to suffer a complete annihilation. Thirteen of them managed to escape.
As a result, the god-kings like Zeus and Odin colluded, beating the fallen dogs, defeating them, and eternally sealing them in the deepest parts of hell.
Now restored to freedom, their first thought was naturally revenge.
"All of you, shut up and stop your blathering," Tian Tu said in an irrefutable tone. "Zeus is already dead. As for Odin and the others, you are not to touch them. Your mission now is to cooperate with the gods to kill Ji Mo and pacify the Divine Continent."
"Invade the Divine Continent? Do you want us to go to our deaths? And who do you think you are, to dare issue orders to us like this, acting like a master? We Titans will never be slaves, why would we be driven and utilized by you?"
The leading Titan giant spoke, still trembling from past experiences, yet full of arrogance. He didn't put Tian Tu in his eyes at all.
They had always been arrogant, and except for the formidable figures in Hua Xia, they didn't regard any other beings with respect.
Tian Tu sneered, "You really think of yourselves as people. You failures still lack reverence for darkness."
As he spoke, his body erupted with black light, and dark rain fell, carrying immense demonic energy, landing on the Titan giants.
The Titan giants seemed to ignite, flames erupting from their bodies as they struggled desperately, emitting piercing screams.
Before long, the flames on their bodies subsided. Their bronze skin was covered in worm-like patterns, their eyes lost their focus, becoming pitch black, cold, and devoid of any emotion.
Their primordial spirits were polluted and eroded, becoming pawns of darkness.
Tian Tu revealed a satisfied, sinister smile. "Now, do you know what to do?"
The thirteen Titan giants spoke in unison, their voices shaking the heavens: "Sweep across the Divine Continent, eliminate Ji Mo, and destroy everything."
"Then let's begin. I want the land of Hua Xia to be ravaged by war, blood to flow like rivers, and to see if any of the escaped ones will show themselves."
Tian Tu issued the command, simultaneously ordering the major divine systems, which had already gathered and made preparations, to launch a full-scale war.
The thirteen Titan giants dispersed, each leading a contingent of troops, heading in different directions to encircle and attack the Divine Continent.
The shouts of war reached the heavens, dark clouds obscured the sun, and swarms of angelic armies covered the sky. Various gods and divine beasts transformed into streams of light, charging forward with murderous intent.
Such a massive movement shocked the entire world.
Many mortals felt the vast divine power and trembled, collapsing to the ground.
At the Spring Blossom Orphanage, Anubis sensed the overwhelming killing intent from all directions and couldn't help but curse, "Heaven offers you a path, but you refuse it; hell has no door, yet you rush in. You're like a寿星公 (birthday star) hanging himself, tired of life. Why bother?"
Senbon Sakura was close to tears and said to Ji Mo, "I told you to leave quickly, but you wouldn't listen. Now there's no chance to escape."
The major divine systems had mobilized their entire forces, arriving in unison, and the legendary Titan giants had also appeared. With such a grand display, unless Ji Mo had already become a saint, there was no hope of survival.
However, she did not abandon Ji Mo and leave alone. She had decided to stay, to share life and death with him.
Ji Mo smiled, signaling Senbon Sakura not to worry. Then he looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Today, he would unleash a massacre, washing the clear blue sky with the blood of the gods.
The next moment, he vanished from his spot, intending to meet the enemy outside the borders to prevent collateral damage to the mortals.
The eastern coastline.
The wind howled, and the waves surged. Da Feng Novel Network.
Goddess Amaterasu, leading more than ten deities and numerous colossal sea monsters, arrived first.
She couldn't even wait for the Titan giants to provide support. Upon receiving Tian Tu's order, she eagerly attacked.
After all, the Divine Continent was rich in resources and treasures. Those who arrived first would get the best, and those who were slow would only get scraps.
"Hahaha, I will make history and become the first deity to invade the Divine Continent!"
Amaterasu couldn't help but laugh out loud, immensely proud, feeling that she was about to achieve eternal fame.
She held the Yata no Kagami in her left hand and the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in her right, gazing at the coastline within reach, about to step onto this miraculous land.
"Isn't it good to be alive?"
A voice suddenly sounded, and a slender figure appeared, blocking Goddess Amaterasu's path.
"Ji Mo?"
Amaterasu revealed an eerie smile and mocked, "You're truly bold. At a time like this, you still haven't found a mouse hole to hide in, yet you dare to appear before me. I also want to ask you, isn't it good to be alive?"
Holding two divine artifacts and wearing the Yasakani no Magatama for protection, Amaterasu was full of confidence and didn't fear Ji Mo.
Moreover, she had so many people by her side, and two Titan giants were about to arrive behind her, giving her ample confidence.
As long as she could hold Ji Mo off for a while, the other gods and Titan giants would arrive, and they would surely be able to kill Ji Mo easily. Then she would get the lion's share of the credit, and Tian Tu would surely reward her generously.
"Surround him, don't let this brat run away..."
Amaterasu ordered, worried that Ji Mo would flee if he saw the situation was unfavorable.
However, before the others could make a move, Ji Mo struck first.
He was ruthless and spoke little. He extended his fair palm and slapped out.
In the void, a massive palm print appeared out of nowhere, surging with infinite power, and blasted out with destructive force.
The sea monster army, in large swathes, had no chance to struggle before exploding into masses of blood mist.
Even the more than ten deities could not escape, screaming as they were torn into pieces.
Amaterasu was dumbfounded. The words "don't let this brat run away" had barely faded, but all her forces were gone.
With just one slap.
Amaterasu's soul trembled, her face filled with terror. What kind of monstrous being was this?!
