Book 12: Chapter 63: Invulnerable

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.

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.
