The soul consciousness bead fell from Xia Rihua's fingers into her mouth.
Amaterasu moved swiftly, disappearing in a flash like a dazzling white light.
But, it's too late.
The bead entered Xia Rihua's mouth, and a few wisps of black flame spilled out from between her teeth. She bit down hard.
"boom."
The bead shattered and was completely absorbed by the summer flower painting, leaving no trace.
The next moment, it devoured Amaterasu's soul consciousness.
Summer Flower felt an overwhelming surge of soul power, which greatly amplified her soul and significantly increased the amount of soul power she could mobilize.
In terms of soul power, it seems that there is a subtle possibility of it being able to challenge even the gods.
However, due to the limitations of the world, he is still at the peak of godhood, but he is undoubtedly much stronger than before.
But then Amaterasu attacked.
Summer flower painting was something I had anticipated.
The Ananda fire and crimson divinity within the opponent's body had already given her a warning, not to mention the newly amplified soul power.
Although the opponent's movements were somewhat unpredictable, they were clearly discernible under the cover of soul power.
The armor formed from the power of the ancient gods in her right hand was instantly completed, and she swung it towards Amaterasu, who was attacking at high speed.
Even with the help of the strong winds, Summer Flower Painting still couldn't keep up with Amaterasu's speed.
However, with the added bonus of being able to predict the future, the speed was barely enough to keep up.
Facing Amaterasu's fierce punch, which flashed with dazzling light, that punch emitted a brilliance as bright as the sun.
Summer floral paintings are ready and waiting.
This time, it was different from Amaterasu's purely physical punch before.
On the armor of the old god, thunder and gale, fire and crimson furiously converged, and the aggressive power was unleashed to its fullest extent by Natsume Hanae.
The power of the soul transformed into needles, stabbing fiercely at Amaterasu.
Amaterasu sensed the attack of the soul power, and her long, brilliant golden hair moved without wind, surging towards the invisible soul power like a waterfall.
It instantly shattered the power of the soul.
In Amaterasu's view, of all of Natsume's techniques, only the power of the soul posed a threat to her and needed to be guarded against to prevent it from piercing her soul consciousness.
Even among gods, if the soul is completely erased, the consciousness will perish even if the physical body does not die.
Even if a new consciousness is reborn within the physical body in the future, it will no longer be the original self.
Although there is still a full three-quarters of the soul consciousness, the soul consciousness is crucial. Even if it loses half of it, there will be occasional mismatches between the soul and the body, resulting in a loss of control over the body.
However, just as the power of the ancient god emerged in Natsume Hanae.
Amaterasu's face suddenly turned an unnatural pale.
Within His body, the previously negligible activity of the broken tentacles suddenly intensified the moment the power of the Old God appeared.
This caused His divine nature, which had always operated so smoothly, to suddenly become momentarily dry.
You must understand, this is the time when He is attacking.
The right-hand attack, which was originally dazzling like a small sun, dimmed for a moment, and at the same time, it collided with Natsume's right fist!
"Bang!!!"
The explosion was like a thunderclap, resounding through the sky and soaring into the heavens.
The shockwave instantly surged into the air, spreading across everything around it.
Even though the power of Amaterasu's punch was reduced considerably due to the broken tentacles, its power was still there.
Terrifying! Horrible! So terrifying!
Amaterasu is not a newcomer to the realm of gods, but rather someone who has accumulated power above the level of gods for a long time. Although she is not yet at her peak, her strength above the level of gods has already been achieved.
The moment they made contact, the old god's armor on Summer Flower's right arm shattered and dissipated almost instantly.
What followed was Xia Rihua's right arm, which shattered and splattered with blood, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood that disintegrated.
His entire right arm was completely shattered.
At the same time, Amaterasu was also injured!
With the combined power of the summer flower painting, its might reached even the gods, causing His right fist to explode into a cloud of blood mist.
The deathly stillness of the temple fire, the paralysis of thunder, the tearing of the gale.
It also affects Amaterasu's senses.
Even He couldn't help but furrow his brow, let out a muffled groan, and grit his teeth to hold on.
The next moment, Amaterasu's divine nature emerged, and countless white threads spread out to outline the shape of her right fist, completing its regeneration.
Amaterasu is preparing to dispel all negative buffs.
The paralysis and tearing were dispelled after using some divinity, but the deathly stillness of the fire remained, with scars on the back of its fair, jade-like hand resembling deep black holes, continuing to bring it pain.
It was slowly devouring His Amaterasu Divinity.
After all, it was a strike from above the gods, and this blow still injured Amaterasu.
From this perspective, Amaterasu and Natsuhika-e share a certain similarity.
However, unlike the summer flower painting.
The mother tree is now completely withered, and the divine nature of Amaterasu within it is now fully reviving. That vast and boundless divine nature of Amaterasu is not afraid of any war of attrition.
Without the slightest hesitation, Amaterasu's right fist continuously emitted a hazy white light, repeatedly washing over the deep, dark scar, which was gradually fading.
It won't be long before it disappears completely.
The threat that summer flower paintings could pose to Him has become negligible at this moment.
Victory is assured.
Amaterasu regained her noble appearance, looking down upon ants with the indifference in her pure white eyes.
Furthermore, since Summer Flower Painting had consumed part of His soul consciousness, He no longer had any designs on Him.
In that case, it's time to end all of this.
He spoke.
“Outsider, you have rejected my offer.”
"In that case."
"You and your subordinates have no reason to exist. I will make you experience the cruelest methods."
"At that time, even death will be a mercy to you."
Amaterasu swung her left fist again, and Natsumi Hanae quickly blocked it.
"Bang————!"
In an instant, Natsuki Hanae was struck by Amaterasu and sent flying a hundred meters away before coming to a stop.
At this moment, Natsumi Hanae's right arm has also been completely regenerated.
However, three more white spider lilies sprouted on her right arm.
Summer Flower Painting absorbed even more power, but it still remained within the slow range, so she didn't interfere much.
Once there are ten plants left, some will have to be removed.
However, she did gain something from it.
The aura of the ancient gods clearly stirred something within Amaterasu's body, and Natsumi Hanae keenly sensed that this thing also possessed the aura of the ancient gods.
Drawn by that aura, the fire within Amaterasu and the crimson divinity found their target, instantly identifying the entity emanating the aura of an ancient god.
—The tentacles of an ancient god above all gods!
The existence of this entity represents a profound and far-reaching significance.
The appearance of the tentacles of an ancient god above the gods confirms that there truly exists an ancient god above the gods.
This proves that the Old Gods are beings from outside the world.
So……
Does this also confirm that the power of the Old Gods exists outside the world, enabling them to reach the level of hellish realms?
Previously, without sufficient information, Natsume Hanae dared not attempt it rashly.
After all, the example of Susanoo is right before our eyes.
If one misuses their power to advance into the realm of the uncanny and even beyond to godhood, the consequences are unpredictable.
Even with such a solid foundation as Summer Flower Painting, it probably can't withstand more than a few failures before irreversible consequences occur.
Now, the intelligence is gradually becoming clear.
Summer Flower Painting already had a guess in her mind.
