American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 295: Shield of Creation x Tears of Heaven
The Eight-headed Sea Serpent’s limbs were scattered across the deep pit, with only three of the eight heads still attached to its torso, its body ruptured, its complex structure laid bare for all to see, and plumes of steam billowing out.
Xu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The "Bush Ambush" plan was extremely successful; under the baptism of his and the Ghost Samurai’s ultimate move, even the Alchemical Machinery of the Ring of Destruction couldn’t withstand it.
But the next second, his heart suddenly lurched.
The serpent’s torso split open abruptly, the metal components below separating, gears interlocking with each other, pushing something from the center of the body outward.
Xu Yi had seen a similar situation before, on the Crow Man, whose chest held a black droplet that left him with a rather "wonderful" memory.
"Watch out for dodging!" Xu Yi urgently shouted a warning.
The situation this time was much better than the last. Both his and the Ghost Samurai’s strength were at their peak, and with their guard up, they should be able to escape the area of effect in time if the "Black Sun" happened again.
No black droplet appeared this time; instead, there were two somewhat familiar objects, nested within the metal device and enveloped by numerous metallic tentacles.
One of the objects appeared to be a shield, the size of a palm, earthen yellow in color, looking as if it was casually molded from yellow clay by the roadside, with very simple lines engraved on it.
The other was a teardrop-shaped gemstone, the size of a fist, wholly azure, with phantoms floating within, breathtakingly beautiful.

"That is…" Xu Yi suddenly exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise.
No wonder it felt familiar; he had seen them before in the "Mythic Weapons Genealogy," they were two Mythic Level Exorcism Holy Relics.
Shield of Creation: Nikun Ti!
Tears of Heaven: Ernis!
Xu Yi, who needed Mythic Holy Artifacts to forge the Seven Deadly Sins, naturally knew about them.
He stared at the two Mythic Holy Artifacts, suddenly having a realization.
The three main parts of Alchemical Machinery were material, Alchemical Array, and energy.
Sturdy materials and extraordinary Alchemical Arrays were somewhat understandable for Xu Yi, but the energy source was something he couldn’t figure out.
But now he understood, it was the Mythic Level Exorcism Holy Relics!
"No wonder the Crow Man was so eager to seize Mythic Holy Artifacts!" Xu Yi suddenly realized.
Mythic Holy Artifacts, also known as "Saint Weapons," were given this title because they were very choosy; not just anyone could activate them.
Like the three Saint Weapons of Japan in Xu Yi’s possession, only someone with the blood of the Emperor of Japan could activate them.
But looking at the Eight-headed Sea Serpent in front of him, it was clearly not within the "Saint" category.
"It’s hard to imagine that the Ring of Destruction could actually ignore the restrictions of the Mythic Holy Artifacts and draw out their energy!" Xu Yi whispered in awe.
The "Shield of Creation" and "Tears of Heaven" suddenly burst into intense light, and the Array inside the serpent’s body was activated, energy converging towards the center, condensing into a deep purple Light Sphere.
Xu Yi felt the surging energy within the Light Sphere and was somewhat terrified. He prepared himself, ready to dodge at any moment.
The fist-sized purple Light Sphere finished charging, traced an arc through the air, and flew towards Xu Yi and the Ghost Samurai.
Xu Yi had become a bird of alarm and immediately burned his Holy Blood, fleeing to the side.
The Ghost Samurai reacted even quicker than Xu Yi, phasing and escaping downward as soon as the Light Sphere rose.
Xu Yi evaded the purple Light Sphere, quietly breathing a sigh of relief, but the next second, his heart shook for no apparent reason.
"That’s not right!" He immediately sensed something off. If it was the opponent’s "Ultimate Move," how could they have avoided it so easily?
Since the Light Sphere didn’t change direction or explode violently, it continued unabated, toward the purple light screen above.
The Light Sphere entered one of the metallic flowers, and the octagonal light screen suddenly blazed, dense runes scampering across it.
Xu Yi’s complexion shifted drastically, as he finally understood—the Light Sphere’s initial target wasn’t to attack them but to activate the Array before them!
The rich fluctuation spread out, and he finally remembered where that familiar sense came from.
He had seen a similar Array before, in Japan, when he snatched a piece of Sin Remains from the claws of the Ring of Destruction.
The Sin Remains were embedded on a hawk, and ultimately, the Array within the hawk activated, causing the Sin Remains to "phase" and escape into a Different Space and flew away.
The Array before him was the spitting image of the earlier one, only on a much larger scale.
Considering that the Eight-headed Sea Serpent belonged to the Ring of Destruction as well, it wasn’t strange for them to know the "Phantomization Array"; perhaps the Phantomization Array was one of the Eight-headed Sea Serpent’s signature abilities.
"The opponent has activated the Phantomization Array, they plan to forcibly send away Otuwa!"
The situation was highly favorable, could they really stand by and watch the cooked duck fly away?
A look of distaste crossed Xu Yi’s face; he had yet to devour the "Gluttony" Origin.
He took a sudden step forward and punched at the "Metal Flower" in the air, his fist passing through it.
The Array had already taken shape, and these Metal Flowers had already phased into the Different Space. What remained in front of him was only a projection.
"Should I use the Resurrection Coin?"
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, then decided against it. He only had two chances left to resurrect today, and if he used it, he’d be down to one.
Moreover, the most critical problem was how to stop that Light Sphere?
The terrifying energy contained within the Light Sphere was real. Should he go up and resist it himself, or should he use the Ghost Samurai?
The Ghost Samurai was integral to his subsequent plans. If it were destroyed, there would be no replacements.
So this was an open conspiracy. Even though Xu Yi knew the goal of the Light Sphere was to activate the Phantomization Array, he was powerless to stop it.

Bit by bit, the purple light screen crept downwards, causing Otuwa’s body to phase from top to bottom.
After a moment of stunned contemplation, Xu Yi charged at Otuwa. He entered Otuwa’s body with no resistance.
"Just as I expected!" Xu Yi was overjoyed.
Indeed, the Phantomization Array couldn’t be stopped, but since Otuwa was so massive, it could only phase part by part.
That meant the Phantomization Array inadvertently served the purpose of "disassembling" its body.
"Once it ’disassembles’ to the core layer, I can devour the Gluttony Origin before the light screen does!"
Xu Yi’s heart steadied.
Just then, the body of the Eight-headed Sea Serpent trembled, its tentacles attached to the Holy Artifact snapped, and various clasps opened in succession.
The Shield of Creation and the Tears of Heaven were ejected. Deprived of their energy source, the Eight-headed Sea Serpent collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
The two Holy Artifacts flew towards the purple light screen, and seeing the "Metal Eye" attached to them, Xu Yi immediately understood what was happening.
The "Metal Eye" on the Holy Artifacts was unquestionably a part of the Array.
Simply put, if the Holy Artifacts entered the purple light screen, they too would enjoy the effect of the Phantomization Array.
"Damn it! Letting Otuwa escape is one thing, but now even the Holy Artifacts intend to leave!" Xu Yi muttered darkly, cursing inwardly.
Xu Changrong quickly grasped the state of affairs and commanded the Ghost Samurai to move forward, intercepting the Mythic Holy Artifacts.
Both Mythic Holy Artifacts suddenly split apart, aiming to enter the purple light screen from completely opposite directions, clearly being controlled by someone from behind.
Xu Changrong found himself at a loss, being only able to intercept one of the Artifacts.
Xu Yi glanced at Otuwa below him; there should still be some distance before the light screen reached the core. Grinding his teeth, he dashed toward the other Holy Artifact.
The Holy Artifacts weren’t flying swiftly. If they continued towards the light screen, Xu Yi and the others would definitely capture them.
But just then, both Holy Artifacts suddenly halted and retreated quickly; within the blink of an eye, they were about to fly out of their sight.
Distract and deceive! The term flashed through Xu Yi’s mind instantly.
