"Five Elements Annihilation Array!"
The five Magu Gods surrounding Lee Yeong each held powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These powers gradually formed a barrier composed of red, yellow, blue, green, and gold, trapping Lee Yeong within it.
Seeing this, Lee Yeong tried to punch the barrier, but it only trembled slightly before returning to its original state.
"There's no need for you to struggle in vain. Inside the Five Elements Annihilation Array, the powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth will continuously attack you."
"You also cannot absorb the spirit energy within this space to recover. Once your internal magic power is exhausted, the moon spirit tree will sooner or later be mine."
The Magu God saw Lee Yeong still trying to break the array and couldn't help but mock him.
But what they didn't know was that Lee Yeong possessed a small world, and his magic power was inexhaustible, so he would never run out of strength.
"Then I'll break this array and see what else you can do."
"Ruler, ah! Mask of flesh and blood, all creation, flapping wings, those who bear the name of man! Wall of azure flame, inscribed with twin lotuses, distant sky awaits the abyss of great fire."
"Hado No. 73: Sōren Sōkatsui!"
The fully chanted Hado directly struck the barrier. A small crack appeared, and as the Hado's power burst forth, more and more cracks emerged.
Ultimately, the barrier still withstood the Hado's power. The Sōren Sōkatsui was continuously annihilated, and the cracks on the barrier slowly recovered.
"No matter what move you use, the grand array will annihilate it and use it to continuously repair itself. What you're doing is just useless effort."
The Magu God said this, but she increased the output of her magic power. The commotion just now had startled them, but thankfully, the grand array held up.
After two attempts, Lee Yeong had roughly figured out the barrier's defensive strength. At this point, he no longer hesitated.
"Abyss of a thousand hands, the venerable hand that cannot be touched by the deepest darkness, the azure sky archer that cannot be reflected, the path where light sprinkles, the wind that kindles the flame, gather without confusion, heed my command, light bullet, eight bodies, nine paths, heavenly scripture, swift treasure, great wheel, gray turret, drawing a bow to the distance, dissipating purely."
"Hado No. 91: Senjū Kōten Taihō!"
After dodging several attacks from the Five Elements Annihilation Array, Lee Yeong seized the opportunity. The power of Hado No. 91 in his hand transformed into several rays of light, striking the barrier and causing a massive explosion.
"Oh no, maintain the array with all your might! Do not let him out!"
The Magu God sensed the power emanating from the barrier and also fully strengthened the array's defense, but the outcome often did not go as they expected.
Taking advantage of the explosion that shattered the barrier, Lee Yeong used Shunpo to step out of the barrier's range.
"Lee Yeong, are you alright?"
Jang Man Wol rushed in and saw Lee Yeong emerging from the explosion. Lee Yeong looked disheveled at this moment, making one think he had suffered a great loss.
"I'm fine, just almost fell for their trick."
"It seems your abilities aren't that great, after all. Do you have any other tricks?"
"Wait, how did you get in? Where are Jiwoo and Xia Lan?"
Lee Yeong heard Jang Man Wol's concern and didn't react for a moment, thinking she had brought the two girls in as well.
"Don't worry, they're fine. Chansung has returned with Kim Yoona. I had Kim Yoona stay with them."
"Magu God, what exactly are you trying to do? Lee Yeong is a guest you asked me to invite. Are you planning to kill him now?"
Although Jang Man Wol had suspected they had ill intentions toward Lee Yeong, she hadn't expected them to try to kill him. She immediately questioned the Magu God.
"Jang Man Wol, this has nothing to do with you. Get out and just manage your hotel well."
"Don't meddle in things that don't concern you, it won't do you any good."
The Magu God had her own concerns and did not reveal anything about the moon spirit tree.
According to Lee Yeong's speculation, Jang Man Wol becoming the owner of the Moon Guesthouse was not a bestowal from the Magu God, but rather the moon spirit tree's choice.
And because of Jang Man Wol's existence, the Magu God could not completely control the moon spirit tree, which is why they wanted Jang Man Wol to enter reincarnation.
This would not only allow them to gain Jang Man Wol's thousand years of wish power but also completely seize control of the moon spirit tree's power, killing two birds with one stone.
"Are you afraid your schemes will be discovered? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. With me here, what can you do now?"
Indeed, with Lee Yeong's further probing, the Magu God's expression changed drastically, and her ugly true face could no longer be hidden.
"So what? As long as we can keep you here, with the moon spirit tree in hand, who the hotel owner is will be up to us in a single thought."
"You wanted to see our methods, didn't you? Then you'd better watch closely!"
The five Magu Gods began to chant something, and their auras converged, swirling above their heads.
Immediately after, several more Magu God auras gathered from all directions. Ultimately, all the auras merged, and the powerful force instantly sent Lee Yeong and Jang Man Wol flying dozens of meters.
"Lee Yeong, this is the combined power of our twelve sisters. Even if you regret it now, it's too late. You must die today!"
As soon as Lee Yeong and Jang Man Wol stabilized their retreating figures, the Magu God condensed a ray of light in her hand and attacked the two of them.
Seeing that they couldn't dodge in time, Lee Yeong could only summon his Zanpakutō to block in front of him and Jang Man Wol.
With a bang, the two were sent flying again, falling onto an open space.
"Man Wol, are you alright? Get up quickly."
As expected of a being fused with the power of all Magu Gods, Lee Yeong and Jang Man Wol both sustained minor injuries from a single blow.
"You step aside first, I'll deal with her!"
Although Jang Man Wol had lived for a thousand years, she had never cultivated any techniques, nor did she possess divine abilities. In the face of such a battle, for her, who only had magic power, she couldn't intervene at all.
"Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"
The Magu God before him was the strongest enemy Lee Yeong had encountered since his transmigration. He no longer hesitated and directly used his ultimate move.
As his Zanpakutō transformed into countless cherry blossoms scattering towards the Magu God, Lee Yeong once again took out the ling shuang sword and directly attacked the Magu God.
"Hado No. 87: Ryūbi!"
With his Zanpakutō circling him and holding the ling shuang sword, Lee Yeong had entered his strongest state. Every one of his attacks carried the power of Kidō.
The Magu God showed no fear at the sight. With a raised hand, she formed a massive defensive barrier, resisting the countless cherry blossom attacks.
The ling shuang sword struck the shield, sending countless sparks flying, but it still couldn't break through the Magu God's defense.
"In a thousand years, this is the first time I've used this power. A god is ultimately a god. No matter how strong a mortal is, they can only look up to a god."
The Magu God clenched her hand in the air, and a long spear appeared in her grasp. Powerful energy flowed through the spear, which then pierced towards Lee Yeong's back at an unusual angle.
