I, Nurarihyon, the Lord of All Monsters

Shuten-doji was stunned for a moment.

Then, a green-faced, fang-toothed face raised its head and laughed.

“How dare a tiny ordinary human pretend to be the lord of ghosts and monsters?”

“If you are the lord of demons, who am I?”

Shuten-doji stopped laughing, his mouth corners showing white fangs stretched to his ears, and his scarlet eyes stared coldly at Nurarihyon. Nurarihyon looked indifferent, and was also sizing him up.

Shuten-doji.

The leader of the demon clan, the great demon king who dominated the world during the Warring States Period, one of the three legendary monsters, can be said to be the first generation of the lord of demons.

His background, some say, is the god of Ibukiyama, who married the noble lady Tamahime Gozen from Sugawa (Maihara City) in Omi Province and gave birth to Shuten-doji. It is also said that Shuten-doji’s father is actually the legendary Great Disaster God, the ancestor of demons, and the most powerful beast in Japan – the Yamata-no-Orochi.

And Shuten-doji’s death is also full of mysteries. According to a historical saying, Minamoto no Raikou killed Shuten-doji with the boy’s knife Yasutsuna and cut off his head.

The two looked at each other, and before they even exchanged blows, the majestic aura had already begun to clash.

Shuten-doji’s thick, wild hair was like blazing fire, fluttering wildly behind him. His nine-meter-tall body was extremely strong and sturdy.

His upper body was naked, revealing his rock-like chest and abdominal muscles.

His lower body was wrapped in a black hakama with dark red flames on the background.

He also carried a huge wine gourd on his back.

With a bang.

Shuten-doji’s aura was like a volcanic eruption, overwhelming Nurarihyon. Nurarihyon slightly glared, and his ultimate domineering aura, like circles of materialized ripples, spread out and collided with Shuten-doji’s aura. There were lightning and thunder at the place of confrontation.

Dark red lightning was shooting out.

The sky above them even condensed into two dark and thick vortexes of black clouds, causing a catastrophic scene of heaven and earth changing.

“You, a human being, are quite interesting, as you can contend with my fear.””Yeah?”

“Unfortunately, my demon blood is dormant and I cannot use fear for the time being. Otherwise, you might not be able to fight me.”

“So it’s a half-demon, hahahahaha!”

Shuten-doji raised his head and laughed, his rage filling the air.

“Aren’t you also a half-demon? Why are you pretending?” Nurarihyon said expressionlessly.

“Humph!”

Shuten-doji’s eyes were grim, and he snorted coldly as thunder, saying in a cold voice:”I have already abandoned human blood long ago, and I am already a ghost with complete blood. How can a half-demon like you with mixed blood compare to me?”

“”Little ones, you are seeing the leader of the ghost clan, the first generation of the lord of demons and monsters, why don’t you pay your respects?!”

After Shuten-doji shouted loudly, the demons and monsters in the demon clouds in the sky immediately became manic and excited, and kept flying towards Shuten-doji, ready to surrender to him.

“All the demons and monsters obey my orders!”

“I am the lord of all monsters and have reigned over the Edo period for five hundred years. Anyone who dares to serve Shuten-doji will be my enemy!”

“Kill! No! No mercy!”

Nurarihyon shouted. The demons and monsters rushing towards Shuten-doji hesitated for a moment, and then separated and flew towards Nurarihyon. On one side, the ghostly aura was overwhelming and dark clouds were everywhere. On the other side, the demonic aura was like smoke, covering the sky and the sun.

The two generations of demon lords were confronting each other between heaven and earth.

Shuten-doji’s face was a little ugly.

The demons and monsters who surrendered to Nurarihyon were actually more than the demons and monsters who surrendered to him.

This was tantamount to slapping him, the first generation of demon lords, in the face!

“Humph, it’s just that I’ve been asleep for too long. From the Heian period to the modern times, the demons’ fear of me is not as great as yours.”

“But so what?”

“Even if I kill you, I can still gain the fear of the whole world, lead the demons and monsters again, and reach the pinnacle of the demon world!”

Shuten-doji’s eyes were red and glared, and he slapped the huge wine gourd behind him with his strong left arm, making a dull and loud sound.

“Boom~”

“Boom~~”

“Boom~~！！”

Every time it was slapped, the bottom of the gourd immediately vibrated with visible red ripples, which spread out in all directions.

The demon who heard the sound suddenly became drunk, and burst into ferocity and ghostly energy. His strength actually became stronger out of thin air.

“”Little ones, kill them!”

Shuten-doji laughed and roared. He even danced and banged his wine gourd.

“Roar——”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“For the great ghosts and gods, for the lord of evil spirits and monsters!”

“Devour the false demon master!”

Thousands of demons and monsters tumbled in the dark clouds, making ghostly howling sounds, and then rushed towards Nurarihyon.

“Just a bunch of ants looking for death”

“Since you have surrendered to Shuten-doji, then, all of you should enter my cauldron!”

Nurarihyon waved his hand, and the hell-walker opened up the other-dimensional space.

A round cauldron with an ancient and strange shape flew out.

Nurarihyon lifted the round cauldron.

Suddenly, a strange and terrifying suction force came out from it, sweeping across the sky and the earth, swallowing everything, like a rolling river, pulling all the ghosts and monsters that came to attack into the round cauldron.

“This is the magic pot from the East!”

Shuten-doji looked at the strange round pot in Nurarihyon’s hand and his face changed drastically.

“How is it possible? Wasn’t the demon-refining pot broken and left behind? How did it appear in your hands?”

After Shuten-doji was puzzled, he quickly took off the huge wine gourd as big as a building with his strong left arm, faced Nurarihyon, and pulled out the cork.

“Nurarihyon, if I call you, will you dare to answer?”

“！？”

Nurarihyon’s golden eyes suddenly widened.

This… couldn’t be the Silver Horn King’s purple gold treasure gourd, could it?

How did the treasure from the Eastern demon world come to Japan?

Nurarihyon naturally wouldn’t agree, but the purple gold treasure gourd didn’t need your response at all, it could still catch people and monsters.

A terrifying suction force that completely surpassed the demon refining pot burst out from the mouth of Shuten-douji’s gourd, trying to forcibly arrest Nurarihyon.

Unlimited technique!

Nurarihyon’s dark golden pupils immediately turned into six pale blue eyes, and then he performed an unlimited technique, constantly widening the spatial distance to resist the devouring power of Shuten-douji’s gourd.

Even so.

Nurarihyon still felt like his body was being stretched.

“This wine gourd, can it ignore the distance in space?!”

Nurarihyon was shocked, and quickly grabbed the Demon Refining Pot, aiming at Shuten-doji, wanting to swallow him first.

Unfortunately, the Demon Refining Pot focuses on the word”refining”.

It can refine all the demons into the original liquid of the elixir of immortality.

And it is a group attack.

But the wine gourd swallows one by one, and the suction is even more terrible. The

Demon Refining Pot is actually at a disadvantage.

However, with the neutralization of the Demon Refining Pot and the blessing of the limitless limit, it can resist the swallowing power of the wine gourd.

“How can it be?”

“Why is my ghost gourd ineffective?”

This time it was Shuten-doji’s turn to be shocked.
