I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

As the official ruler of the Tenshoku Palace, Sakata Cang, who is known as the unrivaled first person under Amaterasu Omikami, and the best swordsman in Yingzhou history,

He appears very rarely, but every time he appears, it is enough to cause a shock to the entire four islands of Kyushu.

Just now, the moment he appeared, the invisible pressure made Furukawa Hideki feel unprecedented pressure.

Furukawa Hideki looked up and saw that Sakata Zang looked like an ordinary middle-aged man with no beard or hair.

But his eyes revealed a depth that was different from that of ordinary people. He was wearing a traditional kimono, simple yet solemn, with a katana hanging from his waist.

His expression was as indifferent as water, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him, as if nothing could move him, and no one could really make him care about him.

When Sakata's eyes met Furukawa Hideki's, he nodded slightly and said in a deep and steady voice:

"Young swordsman, I already recognize your strength."

"You were able to defeat Akainu, which is enough to prove that you are one of the top Onmyoji among all the great Onmyojis..."

However, at this point, Sakata Zang's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became sharp:

"No...your aura is just Da Yun?!"

There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his tone.

Although Furukawa Hideki practiced the Bodhicitta Realization, he did not use it to break through the Seventh Realm, but chose to seek a breakthrough in martial arts.

Therefore, when he heard Sakata Zang pointed out his realm, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

After all, before this, all the great Onmyojis in the divine realm that he had met had failed to perceive his true realm.

Due to the uniqueness and rarity of the Bodhicitta realization, the practitioner's aura becomes unusually peaceful.

For those who are not sensitive enough to the smell, they naturally cannot perceive the peculiarities of Hideki Furukawa.

However, Sakata Zou is different. His strength has reached an astonishing level. It can almost be said that he is standing at the pinnacle of the realm of God.

He was only one step away from truly entering the realm of creation.

He has a keen sense of perception and his ability to detect aura far exceeds that of ordinary people, so he can see subtle details that many people cannot perceive.

Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that Lord Nichiren used the power of the river of time to isolate himself from the outside world, he might have already felt the baptism of the power of time and successfully broke through to the realm of creation.

However, he did not know all this. He only knew that he had been a loyal servant of Amaterasu since he was a child, and one of the few people in the world who could get close to and communicate with the gods.

At this critical moment, Akainu, who was seriously injured and covered in bruises, could not help but roar in astonishment:
"How is this possible! How could he not be a great Onmyoji?! Sakata! Are you seeing things?!"

Akainu's voice was full of disbelief and confusion; he couldn't accept this unexpected fact.

Sakata Zang was a little stunned, and a hint of doubt flashed through his mind, but he quickly adjusted his thoughts and calmed himself down again.

He said calmly: "Maybe I saw it wrong. After all, everything is possible..."

His voice seemed to acknowledge his mistake, but his tone said otherwise.

After a short pause, Akainu added: "This kid should have practiced some method to hide his aura."

"I think so." Sakata Zang looked up at Furukawa Hideki again and spoke slowly:
"You are indeed very strong. You were able to defeat Akainu, which is enough to prove your ability."

He changed the subject and continued:

"But just because you defeated Akainu doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."

"You are still a long way from being able to truly do whatever you want..."

After hearing this, Furukawa Hideki couldn't help but sneer and asked back:
"What about you? Can you do whatever you want?"

Sakata Zang was startled by the question, but he quickly regained his composure and said slowly:
"I represent not only an individual, but also the will of Her Majesty Amaterasu."

Upon hearing this, Furukawa Hideki burst into laughter:
"Your Majesty Amaterasu? Does that mean he can do whatever he wants?"

"Ah...Looking at you, you must be an ancient monk who has just awakened in recent years, right?" Sakata Zang did not show any anger after hearing what Furukawa Hideki said.
Instead, a hint of pity was faintly revealed in the depths of his eyes.

This pity is like the sympathy expressed for an uncivilized child or for the ignorance of a person who has been isolated from the world for a long time.

He took a deep breath and said slowly:
"You have never heard of the great deeds of Her Majesty Amaterasu, and you cannot understand how much effort he has made for this world."

"These deep things are indeed difficult for a monk like you who has been sleeping for many years to understand..."

Sakata Zang paused for a moment:

"You have been asleep for so many years and have no idea about the changes in the outside world. It's no wonder that you are so ignorant."

Having said this, Sakata Zang gently but firmly placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"However," he continued, "even though I can understand your ignorance, some necessary punishment is still unavoidable."

Sakata Zang stared closely into Furukawa Hideki's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart:

"If you can take my next blow, it means you are qualified to listen to His Majesty's teachings..."

When Furukawa Hideki heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and asked, "What if I can't take it?"

Sakata Zang gently shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes: "If you can't take my sword... then the result will naturally be... death!"

As the word "die" came out of his mouth, he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly.

A tense and solemn atmosphere suddenly filled the air, as if even the air around them had frozen.

And the sword that Sakata Zang had was about to be unsheathed.

Fifty thousand years ago, Sakata Zang already felt that he seemed to have reached the end of his sword practice, as if he could no longer make any progress.

He knew very well that he had already achieved the pinnacle in terms of sword spirit, sword intent, and sword path. He even used his own understanding to create a set of sword techniques that could directly reach the divine realm.

However, even with such achievements, he still felt an unprecedented confusion.

After creating this set of swordsmanship, Sakata Zang suddenly had the illusion that he had reached the end of his swordsmanship.

He decided to seek guidance from Her Majesty Amaterasu, hoping to find a way forward.

He asked Amaterasu how to make further progress in the way of the sword.
However, Her Majesty Amaterasu's response was beyond his expectations.

Her Majesty Amaterasu did not answer his question directly, but sighed softly and said: "With your talent, why do you need to be like this..."

This sentence made Sakata Zang fall into deep thought.

He did not understand His Majesty's true intention, so he decided to sit in meditation in front of the Dainichi Palace in the hope of finding the answer.

In this way, Sakatazo sat in front of the Dainichi Palace for three thousand years. During this long period of time, he practiced all the sword techniques and sword skills he had learned in his mind thousands of times.

He immersed himself in the ocean of swordsmanship, constantly pondering and comprehending, trying to find new breakthroughs.

However, as time went on, he gradually found that his understanding of these knife skills was getting deeper and deeper, but at the same time he also felt that they seemed to be becoming less important.

In the end, Sakata Zang had forgotten all these sword techniques.

He knew that only by breaking free from the shackles of the past could he truly move towards a new realm.

So, he resolutely put away the sword and began to comprehend the profound meaning of what Lady Amaterasu had said.

It seemed that he was practicing so diligently, or perhaps he felt a little pity for his persistence.
That day, Her Majesty Amaterasu once again uttered a deep sigh to him:

"Why are you so persistent?"

Along with this sigh, Her Majesty Amaterasu bestowed a ray of brilliant light.

This brilliance is extraordinary, as it embodies the hundreds of thousands of years of history of the sword used by Sakata Zang.

As this ray of light slowly descended, Sakata Zang felt an unprecedented power surging into his body, as if he and his beloved sword had completely become one.

At this moment, he felt as if he was the knife, and the knife seemed to be him.

This wonderful fusion made him feel that his swordsmanship had been refined and sublimated like never before.

He felt as if he could see into the essence of the knife and comprehend the deeper meaning of the knife.

If the God of Creation was present at this time, they would definitely recognize that this ray of light was actually a cosmic light.

It's a pity that Sakata Zang is still unable to comprehend the mystery of the long river of time. He can only passively absorb the power of time in this cosmic light to nourish his own sword intent.

However, he did not know all this and only thought it was a gift from Her Majesty Amaterasu.

At the same time, Sakata Zang also deeply understood a truth: although there are infinite variations in the thousands of sword techniques, they all remain essentially the same.

For him, it is enough to master one unique skill that can kill the enemy.

Therefore, he decided to start learning sword skills from the beginning, focusing on practicing the most powerful sword-drawing technique.

The art of sword drawing was the move he learned when he first started practicing swordsmanship, and it was also the move he believed to be the most powerful.

The action of this move seems simple, which is to draw the sword and attack as quickly as possible.

However, to truly master the essence of this move, it requires a long period of hard practice and comprehension.

In order to master this sword-drawing technique, Sakata Zang insisted on practicing it three thousand times every day, rain or shine, and never give up.

To this day, Sakata Zang has been practicing the sword-drawing technique for a full 50,000 years.

During these long years, he never stopped practicing the art of sword drawing.

Although he was unable to directly come into contact with the power of time, his sword-drawing technique was invisibly integrated into time and was given the meaning of creation.

This makes everything different!

At the moment when Sakata Zang drew his sword, the fierce attack originally formed by Furukawa Hideki's sword light was suddenly like being frozen, completely solidified in the air, unable to move.

At the same time, the sky, which had become dark and bleak with thunder and lightning because of An Yujinyu, now had all the dark clouds dispersed, the lightning disappeared, and the long-lost clearness and brightness were revealed.

Sakata Zang's sword-drawing technique seems ordinary on the surface, but every movement and every detail is clearly visible.

Hideki Furukawa could even sincerely admire the elegance and beauty of this sword-drawing technique in his heart.

But this knife gave people a false impression.

The knife was actually incredibly fast, its speed even exceeded the limit of light, as if it was a sudden blow from the depths of distant time.

The knife left no trace, everything was silent, and the world seemed to have frozen at this moment.

The wind stopped, the rain condensed, and Furukawa Hideki saw a young man in the reflection of the blade.
He practiced swordsmanship diligently, and later received a blessing from the gods, which allowed him to make such a powerful sword.

Not only that, the four islands of Kyushu in Yingzhou are also reflected on the blade.
This knife seems to have condensed the entire world within it!
The sword is the best of all weapons, and also the best at killing.
Over the years, countless people have died by the sword.

The knife is ruthless, and you are all straw dogs!
The sword is ruthless, even heaven and earth can be destroyed!
The sword is ruthless, but time can still be cut!
This is the ultimate sword technique that Sakata Zang has mastered, and it is also the only sword technique he still has.
It is also a fatal sword, and no one in the divine realm can survive such a blow.

Furukawa Hideki's soul was also frightened by the sword, and he also wanted to fight against it.

But he also knew that his time of cultivation was too short.
Now, in order to defeat Akainu, he had to use a secret method that hurt others as well as himself. This was already his limit.

It is almost impossible to defeat Sakata Zou in such a short time.

In order to survive, Hideki Furukawa doesn't care about his own face.

Feeling that his neck was already cold, Furukawa Hideki let out a shocking roar:
"teacher!"

Along with this cry for help, the original wind, rain, thunder and lightning also condensed again.

Countless Onmyojis whose time had been stagnant on the earth can now move again.

"Such a sword technique..."

A light laugh came from nowhere, but it echoed endlessly, centered around Sakata Zang:
"It seems that you are not far from good fortune!"

The voice seemed calm and indifferent, with a hint of appreciation hidden in it: "It's just a pity..."

"If it weren't for Monk Nichiren, I'm afraid it would have been many years since you broke through to the level of destiny."

Seeing his most proud sword being easily snuffed out, Sakata Cang's eyebrows flashed with horror, but he still sneered: "How dare you blaspheme Her Majesty Amaterasu like this?"

"I guess you are the one behind this Asuka Sword Master, right? Kurokawa Takeshi!"

An illusory body made of the five dark energies appeared from the void: "Yes, it's me."

Under the cover of the dark aura, Xie Que's face seemed to be looming, and he seemed to have turned into the judge of the underworld, or the death god, which was a bit chilling.

Sakata Zang sneered: "Hide the head and show the tail!"

Xie Que also smiled and said, "Now that you have bullied my disciples, it is my turn to bully you."

"I have the same words."

"If you can withstand my attack, you can leave with peace of mind." (End of this chapter)
