Yamata no Orochi let out a wail, looking at Ling Feng with eyes filled with terror, "Don't devour me, I'll say anything, I'll tell you everything!"

Ling Feng snorted coldly, "You should now understand your situation. If your answers don't satisfy me..."

With a gaze full of pain and fear, Yamata no Orochi spoke, "I understand, I do now!"

Indeed, it had looked down on Ling Feng before. In its view, it was a Divine Artifact, while Ling Feng was merely a mortal. Even though Ling Feng could harm it now, deep down it still saw itself as a being above humans!

So when Ling Feng had asked that question just now, Yamata no Orochi was filled with arrogance!

But the moment Ling Feng's sword came down, one of Yamata no Orochi's heads was actually sliced off and devoured, which truly filled it with fear. It discovered that the severed head had indeed been devoured!

"Then tell me everything you know!" Ling Feng said indifferently.

Enduring the agony, Yamata no Orochi said, "Actually, I don't particularly understand the true situation. At that time, I was just a little snake. Back then, many powerful creatures and Divine Spirits existed, and many were already Divine Realm Masters! I remember, one day, several bird people with wings came to our Yamata no Orochi clan and launched an attack on our race without any provocation!"

"I was very young at the time and hid in a deep pool amidst the chaos. After a time, when I reemerged, our clan of Yamata no Orochi had been annihilated! And I became the sole surviving Orochi," Yamata no Orochi said in a low voice, "I was determined to take revenge. After hundreds of years of effort, I finally learned that those who had wiped out my clan were a group of creatures called angels. They needed the blood of all creatures for their battle with the Twelve Main Gods; that's why they slaughtered our clan!"

Ling Feng frowned, "Angels? Are you sure what you're saying is true? Aren't angels mythological creatures from Western Christianity?"

"Mythology? It's certainly not just mythology!" Yamata no Orochi said vehemently, "If you speak of mythology, then aren't the Tian Cong Yun Sword and the Twelve Main Gods also myths? What people call 'myth' is merely history buried in the corridors of the past. It becomes myth simply because it's beyond the belief and comprehension of present-day people, which over time, evolves into legend!"

Ling Feng nodded slightly, "Continue!"

Yamata no Orochi went on, "At the time, my power had just entered the Demi-God Domain; I stood no chance against them. So, I cultivated in hiding for thousands of years and finally reached the Divine Realm! When I ascended to the Divine Realm, I mustered the courage to go to the West seeking vengeance! But it was only then that I truly understood that the Divine Realm was not the strongest. Even though I had reached the Divine Realm, I still wasn't a match for those angels!"

An inner shock rose in Ling Feng's heart, "What actually happened?"

Drawing a deep breath, Yamata no Orochi said, "At that time, the Twelve Main Gods and angels from the West were vying for control of the West. The Main Gods each took action, and from the angels' side, several Twelve-Winged Archangels appeared, each with strength beyond the Divine Realm. I... when I went there, I was merely affected on the fringes and already suffered grave injuries!"

Ling Feng's expression turned grave, "You mean that there indeed existed the Twelve Main Gods and a host of angels back then? They were all beyond the Cultivation of the God Realm? Then why can't we find any traces of them now, not even the marks of their battles?"

"At that time on Earth, the Heavenly Dao was not sealed!" Yamata no Orochi spoke, "I was badly injured then, and my power had fallen back to the Demi-God Domain, so I returned to continue my hidden cultivation. After more than a thousand years had passed, and I had healed, I found, to my surprise, that the Heavenly Dao was inexplicably sealed!"

Yamata no Orochi said with a bitter smile, "The sealing of the Heavenly Dao cut off all hopes for those in the Demi-God Domain to ascend to the God Realm. Moreover, the masters who were initially at the God Realm level seemed to have vanished without a trace in a short span of time, as if they had never existed in this world! At the time, I was in seclusion, so I wasn't very clear about what exactly happened. I only vaguely heard a piece of news that the sealing of the Heavenly Dao was related to a great battle between the East and the West!"

"A great battle between the East and the West? What is that?" Ling Feng pressed on.

Yamata no Orochi said helplessly, "I am not very clear about it either! I was in seclusion at the time! I have told you everything I know. The Twelve Main Gods did exist. When the Heavenly Dao on Earth was unsealed, powerhouses from the Demi-God Domain were common, and even masters of the God Realm were not rare! But with the sealing of the Heavenly Dao, the Vital Energy on Earth gradually decreased and has now become very scarce, and even dirty to some extent, eliminating any possibility of ascending to the God Realm!"

Ling Feng's brows furrowed deeply as he felt that the world was far more complicated than it appeared, based on Yamata no Orochi's words.

Ling Feng was already aware of the sealing of the Heavenly Dao on Earth from Ao Yun, but he had never heard anything about the Twelve Main Gods and angels or the so-called great battle between the East and the West!

Moreover, Ling Feng had a feeling that these truths weren't truly buried but were deliberately concealed by someone!

If this information were to be released to the Underworld, it would indeed cause an upheaval!

"Uhm… I have told you everything I know, can you let me go now?" Yamata no Orochi asked cautiously. This feeling of being controlled by runes was truly uncomfortable.

Ling Feng glanced at Yamata no Orochi and sneered, "Are you really that naïve, or do you think I am? If I let you go, you would just cause trouble for me again, right?"

"No, no, I would definitely not cause any trouble for you!" Yamata no Orochi swore, "Even if I were to seek someone out, it would be the Sun God. As long as you let me go, I can agree to one condition for you, even if you want to become the Emperor of Fusang, I can make it happen!"

Ling Feng looked at Yamata no Orochi, who swore solemnly, stroking his chin, "Although devouring you would strengthen the Divinity of the Mo Yu Sword, it seems keeping you could be more useful! In that case, I do have a plan now!"

Within the following two days, Ling Feng nearly devoured the Artifact Spirit Yamata no Orochi with the Mo Yu Sword, leaving only a small part of its power. It would take another thousand or eighteen hundred years for the Tian Cong Yun Sword to recover to its original state!

However, to Ling Feng's surprise, in the end, the Mo Yu Sword had its fill! The Sword Spirit once again fell into a deep sleep. But this time, the sleep was not due to weakness but because it had devoured so much of the Tian Cong Yun Sword's Divinity that the Sword Spirit's power had once again increased!
