Chapter 1282 Tengu's strength breaks through, Shuten-doji is unwilling to give up
Liu Suifeng was quite impressed by this. The Taoist formations and talismans could be said to be able to do almost everything they wanted to do. However, now was only the beginning of the revival of spiritual energy, and there were too few people who had made achievements in formations.

Especially this kind of formation involving space is much more difficult than formations of the same level. It may be possible for a short range, but no one can set up a formation that covers an entire city now.

"Our development is still too slow."

"The gap between mutants and humans is gradually narrowing. It is not easy to maintain the current advantage."

“I hope that more geniuses will emerge.”

"Rights are not something that cannot be let go. As long as it can protect China, why not satisfy them?"

Island country.

"My strength has finally broken through."

A deep voice sounded in the air. A tall monster wearing a "Yamabushi" with wings on his back, a tall and long red nose and a red face was clenching his fists, feeling the power overflowing in his body, and his tone was full of admiration.

Ever since the myth came to this world, his strength has finally broken through and reached the first sequence of this world.

"The gift that the great god gave to the world has brought us many benefits."

"But compared to that guy in the sea, we are still far behind."

A handsome red-haired boy stood next to the monster and spoke in a soft voice.

"Heh, it makes you, Shuten-doji, feel ashamed. It seems that when it destroyed this country, it really left a deep impression on you."

Tengu chuckled, as if it was the first time he saw Shuten-doji so impressed by the power of an existence.

"If I hadn't rescued you, you would have died."

"Under a random attack from that being called Kunpeng."

Shuten-doji glanced at him with a neutral tone, and Tengu was silent when he heard this.

Memories were revealed and the original scene reappeared before my eyes.

On that day, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and an enormous roc flapped its wings and flew in the sky. Its wings blocked out the sun and the moon, and the shadow it cast was enough to swallow everything.

It opened its abyss-like mouth, and condensed countless brilliant and deadly energy cannons from it. The light was so bright that it seemed to be able to penetrate time and space, and its power was so strong that it was enough to turn the world upside down.

Unfortunately, one of the energy cannons came straight at him, as if locking him in, making it difficult to escape.

Since the myth came into reality, he felt despair and helplessness for the first time.

That is the heartfelt pain of the weak facing the strong and being unable to control their own destiny.

He thought his fate was sealed under that attack, but at this moment, Shuten-doji beside him moved. At this critical moment, his ordinary-looking but quite extraordinary gourd grew in the wind and became extremely huge in the blink of an eye.

Shuten-doji grabbed him and threw him into the gourd. He felt the world spinning around him, and then he fell into endless darkness and silence.

In this moment that seemed eternal, all the sounds and lights from the outside world disappeared, leaving only his own rapid breathing echoing in his ears.

After an unknown amount of time, when he regained consciousness, he found himself standing safely in the distance.

The Kunpeng had left, but its energy cannon had dissipated into the invisible air, while Shuten-doji stood aside, panting, with the scars on his body unable to disappear for a long time.

"Thank you for that day."

Tengu was silent for a long time, then thanked him.

If Shuten-doji had not been present at the time, he would have been reduced to ashes by the devastating energy cannon.

"As the only two monsters in the world, I will naturally help you."

"But the strength of that Kunpeng is indeed indescribably terrifying."

"It was just a tiny part of the large-scale attack, but I had to use all my strength to resist it, and even got injured."

"We are beings that have descended from mythology into reality, but we are facing a mutant being that has evolved into a mythical being. There is such a huge gap between us."

"The myth of the island nation is too weak."

In response to Tengu's gratitude, Shuten-doji shook his head. They were the only two monsters in the world, so he naturally had to save him.

This country is gone, and whether there will be more monsters like them in the future is still an unknown.

It's funny to say that at that time, they didn't actually know that the mutated life was the Kunpeng in the Chinese legend. They only found out about it later when they collected information.

Even in its current appearance, apart from being able to transform between the ocean and sky forms, it does not resemble the Kunpeng in Chinese mythology at all.

It is just a mutated creature that is evolving towards a mythical life form, but Shuten Douji is a real being that descended from mythology!
There should naturally be a gap between them, but it should be between him and the mutant creature, not between the mutant creature and him!
It was just an insignificant attack among countless others. Without using the wine gourd, he had to use all his strength to take it, and even got injured.

Even though his strength at that time had just entered the first sequence, it was enough to illustrate the gap between the two.

He is a famous monster in the Heian period of the island country, the leader of the ghost clan, the king of all ghosts, and one of the strongest monsters in the world. There are too many legends about him, some are evil, some are terrifying, and some are arrogant, but in every legend, he has the same characteristic - powerful!
However, after he descended from mythology into reality, he not only faced the three so-called three gods of the island country, namely Luoshui Sanxian, Shenying Ming and Ling, who were all human beings, and was often at a disadvantage, but he even encountered the pursuit of the three of them!

After finally raising his strength to the first sequence and standing on the same position as them, he also recruited Tengu, who was also a monster like himself, and hoped to recreate the legend of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in mythology, when that Kunpeng suddenly appeared and destroyed this country and everything.

It was clear from the information he had obtained that the First Sequence was already at the pinnacle of this world. Apart from that great god, the strongest person in this world was also within the range of the First Sequence.

But the appearance of Kunpeng broke the human beings' understanding of this era, and also broke his, the monster's, understanding of this era.

It was a gap that could not be described in words, a powerlessness that could only protect himself from a large-scale attack even if he tried his best, and a shame that as the King of a Hundred Demons, he was not even qualified to speak on the same level as it.

It is obvious that he is the existence that has descended from mythology into reality, the life that was truly born in mythology; that guy is just a mutated beast that is evolving into a life form in mythology.

Why is that guy so much stronger than him!

With this idea in mind, he collected various information from the surviving humans and got an answer.

The island nation’s mythology system is too weak.

The reason for all this is that the island nation’s mythology system is too weak.

Because of their land area, their way of thinking, and their relationship with China, their myths are vastly different from those of other countries in terms of high-end combat power.

Compared to Kunpeng, the mythical beast that occupies the pinnacle of Chinese mythology, monsters like them can only be kings in the mythology of island countries, and they may not even have their names left in Chinese mythology.

Therefore, even though he was a life born from mythology, there was still a huge gap between him and Kunpeng, who was approaching the pinnacle of the mythical beast in Chinese mythology.

In fact, this gap is not only reflected in the present, in the future, the gap between them will be even greater!

The essence of spiritual practice is evolution.

Humans evolve towards the path of gods through supernatural powers; mutated creatures transform into mythical beings.

But what about these monsters who have descended from mythology into reality?

What else could they evolve into? Or transform into?
No, nothing.

Although their potential has not been exhausted, due to the times, they still have a long way to go before they can reach their true peak.

However, compared to humans and mutant creatures at the same level today, their upper limit seems to be much lower.

Although this was just his suspicion, his heart was certain of his guess.

He wasn't as special as he thought.

However, he did not tell Tengu about these speculations, because given Tengu's character, he would never believe his speculations.

All he could sigh about in front of him was the weakness of the island nation's mythology.

If the island nation's mythology is powerful enough, then they, as creatures in the myth, would not have only this much power after they descend into reality.

In fact, the power they possess now is no less than that of themselves in myths and legends.

"One day, we will catch up and surpass it."

Tengu's tone was firm, as if he believed very much that he would catch up with and even surpass Kunpeng in the future.

As for Tengu's confidence, Shuten-doji just smiled and didn't say much.

Having descended from mythology for so long and devoured so many human lives, his understanding of this era, human civilization and the current situation is no longer the same as when he knew nothing at the beginning.

Since you know that you are not a special life, it is just a joke to maintain the pride of a monster.

"What are you going to do next?"

The country under his feet no longer existed. Although there were still some survivors, there was no need for either Shuten Douji or Tengu to disturb them.

Before, there were tens of millions of humans, and under the protection of Luoshui Sanxian and others, they could only launch sneak attacks on one village at a time. Now, they are only protecting a few thousand people.

Even if the Sword God is not here, only the two first-order instruments, Luoshui Sanxian and Ling, are enough.

Of course, if they really want to kill those humans, they can definitely do it; but once they do, they will encounter the first-order hunt of Luoshui Sanxian and Ling, and the fight will not stop until they die!

After all, there are only so many people in the entire island nation, and each one of them is the seed of the island nation's future. They cannot accept one less.

In the past, it might have been okay if they had escaped, after all, they had too many people to protect throughout the entire island country, and it was simply impossible to chase them from morning to night.

But now, they really have the time.

He didn't think it was a good time to look for trouble with them.

“I want to go to that country.”

After hearing what Shuten-doji said, Tengu looked towards the other end of the sea, which was the direction of China.

"Are you crazy?!"

When Shuten-doji heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked at him in disbelief.

He actually wants to go to China? !
There are at least a dozen countries with first-sequence beings, and many of those first-sequence beings are world-famous. The title of the Four Emperors of China is the first supernatural being known to everyone.

They are undoubtedly the strongest ones in the first sequence, and even the three members of Luoshui Sanxian cannot compare with them.

Tengu just got the range of the first sequence, but he wants to go to China. Does he want to die?
Don't forget that the people of that country have no good feelings towards the people of this country, and the mutated creatures of that country also look down on these so-called monsters.

"I'm not crazy, I just feel like there's something there that's attracting me."

"If I can obtain it, perhaps I can return to my original form."

Tengu shook his head, looking at Huaxia without the slightest wavering look in his eyes.

What he could feel was an attraction that came from deep within his blood, an indescribable sense of closeness; if he could obtain it, his blood would be able to return to its original state.

Not only will its strength become stronger, but its potential will also be further enhanced, and it will even be no weaker than the Kunpeng that once stood above this country.

"What was it like at first?"

"Isn't this what you looked like at first?"

Shuten-doji listened to Tengu's explanation, frowned slightly, and looked puzzled.

What return of ancestral bloodline, what original appearance, isn’t this the original appearance of Tengu?
The only difference is that the round fan, feather fan and magic hammer are missing, otherwise there is no difference from the myth.

Is it possible for blood to return to its ancestral form?

Not to mention that he is a monster that descended from mythology, what kind of bloodline could he have?
Even if he could really return to his ancestral bloodline, the thing that could allow him to return to his ancestral bloodline should be in the island country. How could it be in China?

"Wait, you mean your prototype in the Chinese Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Shuten-doji looked at Tengu in surprise.

When he learned about the information about Kunpeng before, he also saw the Tengu recorded in China's "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is also the prototype of the Tengu in the island mythology.

"(Yinshan) turbid water flows out from there and flows southward to Fanze. There are many patterned shellfish in it, and there is a beast called Tiangou, which looks like a raccoon but has a white head. It makes a sound like a durian, and it can ward off evil."

"There is a red dog, named the Heavenly Dog."

The meaning of these words is not difficult to explain. The former means that Tengu is shaped like a raccoon dog, has a white head, makes a voice like a cat, and can ward off evil spirits. The latter means that Tengu's body is red.

Although there are some similarities, there are still quite a few differences when compared.
