At this moment, Jamako’s brutish face twisted with fear and disbelief. Though gods might not need to breathe, breathing was essential for absorbing and circulating spiritual energy between heaven and earth, converting it into divine power—a crucial method for maintaining physical strength.

However, Jamako could feel that more than a dozen of his sturdy ribs were broken. His chest had caved in, and his internal organs were severely damaged!

Even his divine protection was compromised. As he flew backward in pain and astonishment, he immediately activated his divine power to heal his internal and external injuries.

“What?!” Jamako’s eyes widened. Known for his strong physique and potent healing abilities, he was shocked to find his healing slow and disrupted by a terrible force!

Although Oborozuki Muramasa hadn’t directly cut Jamako’s body, the residual lunar force had penetrated the wound upon impact. This destructive power, particularly lethal to gods and demons, severely hindered Jamako’s divine healing ability.

His heavy body crashed hundreds of meters away, blood spewing from his mouth.

“How did he get injured so badly? What happened?” The female demon was stunned. Lily’s previous slash had been powerful, but it had been blocked, only causing a heavy recoil. How could it be so devastating? How did one of the most powerful physiques, known for its unparalleled strength, become as weak as a sickly child?

“You… What kind of sorcery is this?! A hidden weapon! Could it be a hidden weapon?” The female demon assumed Lily must have obtained a terrifying hidden weapon on the other side of the Scar of Heaven. Cautiously keeping her distance, she condensed all her infernal energy and aimed it at Lily!

At this distance, even if Lily had a hidden weapon, she could dodge it!

Moreover, the power of a hidden weapon lay in surprise. Now that the female demon was prepared, she felt no fear!

The female demon’s whip tore through the sky, lashing toward Lily. Although the Scar of Heaven had damaged part of the whip, its power remained. This infernal force was enough to put any Big Dipper Stage expert in a life-or-death situation!

However, Lily moved like a willow tree in the wind, her motions fluid and unhurried.

Her reaction speed, already extremely fast, had only heightened with her ascension to the Big Dipper Stage. She swiftly pulled out her sword sheath, seizing the perfect moment to strike at the whip.

The long whip struck the sheath with a sharp crack, unleashing a terrifying force that shook the surroundings and swept up a cloud of dust!

The long whip coiled around Lily’s sheath. With a single hand, she pulled the whip taut and flung it violently.

The female demon felt an incredible force pulling her off the ground. She crashed headfirst into the ground, shattering the tough Yomi boulders beneath her.

“You wretch!” The female demon shook off the debris and stood up, attempting to retrieve her whip. However, she found Lily’s foot firmly planted on the whip, preventing her from reclaiming it even with both hands!

The female demon infused the whip with a fluctuation of charm intent, hoping to transmit it to the other end and shake Lily off!

However, Lily’s charm intent was now so powerful that the female demon’s charm attack was instantly dispersed upon impact, rendering it completely ineffective!

“How… how is this possible?” The female demon was utterly shocked.

This wasn’t a treasure or a hidden weapon; it was pure strength!

The woman before her was stronger, younger, and more beautiful than she was!

Faced with Lily’s overwhelming strength, the female demon felt utterly powerless, her hands and feet trembling in defeat.

“You… you’ve been hiding your strength! You must be at the Celestial Stage! Yes, you are, aren’t you? Hahaha, hahahaha!” The female demon, panicked and on the verge of madness, raved, “I was wondering why Takamagahara would place such high rewards on someone at the Big Dipper Stage! Kagami Lily, you’re actually at the Celestial Stage!”

“What? The Celestial Stage?” Jamako, having finally healed enough to stand, still felt pain in his chest. His muscular face twisted in shock. “This wench is actually a god at the Celestial Stage? Could she be a damned celestial maiden?! Damn it, the Takamagahara wanted notice is a huge trap!”

Lily observed their horror-stricken faces but remained silent. She suddenly released the whip, causing the female demon, who was still pulling hard, to stumble backward.

Lily took a single step forward before erupting into motion at full speed.

In an instant, a beam of white light flashed beside Jamako.

“Damn it! So what if you’re at the Celestial Stage? I’m a true powerhouse at the Infernal Stage—no one at the same level can match me! Watch me beat you to death, you little wench! No, before I kill you, I’ll make sure you suffer first!”

Jamako’s face twisted into a ferocious expression. His massive fist, charged with a menacing aura of evil, smashed toward Lily like a colossal meteor descending to earth.

But Lily’s figure flickered.

Jamako’s fist struck empty air with a boom, as Lily had already appeared behind him. Leaping into the air, she raised Oborozuki Muramasa above her head.

“Watch out!” the female demon shouted, swinging her long whip at Lily with all her strength.

But Lily paid no heed.

With a swift motion, a slender, silver-white blade, resembling a crystal wing made of ice, sliced into Jamako’s thick neck from behind.

“Ah!” A miserable cry escaped as Lily’s Oborozuki Muramasa sliced deeply into his neck. Despite his divine protection, the blade wedged itself halfway into his incredibly tough spine, causing even his divinity to suffer backlash.

Blood spurted like a fountain, accompanied by searing pain.

This lunar force-infused strike, a nemesis to gods and demons, consumed a vast amount of divine power. Though only a small portion entered Jamako’s body, it depleted nearly 30% of his divine power!

A whole thirty percent! Divine power, refined through spiritual energy, was potent and pure, but it was difficult to replenish. Even using Blood Spirit Magatama was extremely costly. For someone like Jamako, replenishing just one percent of his divine power would require at least ten pieces of Blood Spirit Magatama, and it would take considerable time. Even with an abundance of Blood Spirit Magatama, recovering one percent a day would be remarkable!

The permanent damage caused by such a significant loss of divine power was incalculable.

Typically, when gods fought, they didn’t burn the true divine power within their bodies, resulting in minimal loss. Burning divine power could boost strength significantly, but at the cost of consuming life force.

Such a move was reserved for moments of desperation.

But Lily’s strike had extinguished nearly 30% of Jamako’s divine power—a powerful Infernal Stage existence. This was akin to a fatal blow!

At that moment, the female demon’s whip fiercely struck Lily’s waist and back. Though it tore open her thin gauze dress and even snapped the strap of her bra, it left only a shallow red mark on her skin, which faded in less than a second…

“No, this is impossible! Utterly impossible! I used my secret technique, Shattered Blossom Strike! How… How did it not even leave a trace on her delicate skin? Her body looks so tender, so how is she so durable?” The female demon was astonished, her eyes bulging with jealousy, her lips unconsciously bitten in frustration.
