Shuten-doji brought up this boastful remark, surely suggesting that this mythical beast was anything but ordinary in life? If it really had an impressive origin... Xu Fan frowned, but it seemed to have no effect on him.
"Then let me enlighten you in death," Shuten-doji said with a face full of smug satisfaction. "The owner of this inner core was a creature of legend, a very famous divine beast from the Island Country, Orochi."
"Long ago, when I had healed and returned to the Island Country, I happened upon Orochi during its Tribulation Transcendence, transforming and shedding its form. Had it succeeded, it would have become a True Dragon, enjoying eternal life and possessing the power to destroy this world."
