I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 396 Palace of Flesh - Divine Treasure of the Sea of ​​Calamity! A tremendous enhancement to the essence of life, shattering his previous self with a single punch.
"Fusion!"

"Fusion! Fusion...give me the fucking fusion!"

On the boundless, desolate, and dark sea of ​​calamity, a tiny mayfly suddenly stopped its flight, its fate already sealed.

The next instant, a tiny beam of golden light suddenly burst forth from its body.

It grew bigger and bigger... it became even bigger, far exceeding the original size of a mayfly!

The golden color represents the burning radiance of life that causes the mayfly to hatch.

A giant, enveloped in golden light and resembling a deity, slowly formed from within, stretching out its enormous limbs, comparable to those of millions of mayflies.

Even if this "giant" is actually only the size of an ordinary person, it is undoubtedly a colossal behemoth to the mayflies on the sea of ​​calamity.

The Sea of ​​Calamity, the Sea of ​​Calamity, is naturally a sea of ​​calamities.

The vast majority of beings that enter it will only live for a short while before dying on the sea surface, swallowed by the calamity and becoming "mayflies," a new part of the sea of ​​calamity.

Those who are more fortunate or stronger will be able to seize the fleeting opportunity, comprehend and grasp the impact and insights brought about by this calamity, and thus become gods or spirits.

But if given enough time, all the mayflies will inevitably die in due course!

And now, the giant stands tall above the sea of ​​calamity!
Uesugi Tetsu could feel "himself," enveloped in golden light, standing silently on the surface of the Calamity Sea, his calves already submerged in the dark blue water.

The dark seawater was corroding him, trying to devour him completely, turning him into an unprecedented "calamity" even in this boundless ocean!
—The pain and suffering that fall upon one's state of mind need no further explanation; they exist at every moment, every second.

—Endless new resentment and despair will also crash against Uesugi Tetsuya's will with every rise and fall of the sea.

—Not to mention that unknown calamities would occasionally befall the "golden giant" he had transformed into, requiring Uesugi Tetsu to burn even more and stronger life force and with an even stronger will to barely resist.

At that moment, Uesugi Tetsu could sense it.

He can still "turn back before it's too late".

As soon as the thought arises, the giant, whose entire body is golden and who resembles a god, can transform back into a golden mayfly, soaring and galloping above the sea of ​​calamity with speed and safety far exceeding that of its kind.

Mayflies are faster and smaller than giants, and they encounter far fewer and far fewer kinds of calamities.

"Isn't this perfect?"

Above the black sea, the giant laughed: "My sword heart embryo just happens to lack a good whetstone."

As Uesugi Tetsu's thought settled, the path that originally represented "Golden Mayfly"—no longer merging the Palace of Flesh: Ultimate and the Complete Divine Treasury: Mayfly Calamity Sea—completely disappeared.

The golden "physical deity" took root completely on the dark sea surface, bringing Uesugi Tetsuya what might be eternal suffering and calamity.

In reality, fine beads of sweat were constantly seeping from Uesugi Tetsu's forehead.

He could feel a complete and unobstructed connection between himself and the "physical deity," but he did not manipulate it to go deeper into the sea of ​​calamity.

Currently, the sea beneath the feet of the physical deity is a light black color, but as one ventures deeper, the seawater turns black, and eventually becomes a deep black.

The deeper suffering and calamities will increase exponentially, which is beyond what Uesugi Tetsuya can bear at this stage.

But it's okay.

Driven by Uesugi Tetsuji's own will, the Flesh Palace Ultimate and the Complete Divine Treasury have become one!
The final result brought about—

This is the "physical deity" standing above the sea of ​​calamity!
After the four ultimate forms merged into one, achieving Flesh Palace Ultimate, Uesugi Tetsu could feel that his physical body seemed to have become a "god".

This "god" does not have the same meaning as the "god" in mythology, nor does it have anything to do with incense offerings or wishing to become a "god".

He felt it was related to the word "god" in "seeing a god is not bad," but it wasn't entirely the same meaning.

"Containing the spirit, containing the spirit..."

As Uesugi Tetsu endured the constant torment from the Sea of ​​Calamity with some difficulty, he murmured silently to himself.

He could also sense a faint connection between his physical divine body and the sea of ​​calamity beneath his feet—a vast, untapped treasure trove.

Now that the new treasure is complete, it must be excavated.

Of course, some treasures within the divine treasury were fully developed from the moment they were formed.

But those are all minor divine treasures, at most some major divine treasures, whose potential can be seen at a glance, and they also have the experience of countless predecessors to assist them.

The complete divine treasure is different.

Not to mention it's a brand new, complete divine treasure, combined with the "Palace of Flesh - Ultimate," which hasn't been forged in who knows how long, making it a unique "Palace of Flesh - Divine Treasure."

Uesugi Tetsuya naturally couldn't follow the rules; instead, he had to start from scratch and become the first pathfinder, the first person to try something new.

At least for now, he can vaguely sense two paths to develop the divine treasure.

One is to dig out the physical spirit within himself, but right now Uesugi Tetsuya can't even distinguish it from the "god" in "seeing the god without decaying," so of course he doesn't know where to start for the time being.

The other path is to send the physical deity towards the depths of the Sea of ​​Calamity, as intuition tells Uesugi Tetsuya that he will reap unimaginable benefits.

But what followed was...

It would be an unimaginable catastrophe and destruction.

The physical deity was as silent as a reef, but it couldn't help but sway slightly each time the dark seawater lapped against it.

—Now, even his physical body, formed from the four ultimate elements and which should have been incomparably powerful, is sweating profusely just from standing still.

If we go any deeper, wouldn't we just be handing our lives over to the calamity sea?

Having roughly grasped his current situation, Uesugi Tetsuya slightly opened his eyes, looking down at the pile of prompts, hoping to glean some more useful information from them—

【Dear World Walker, you have completed the ultimate training in the Palace of Flesh!】

[You have completed all training in the Corona Breathing Technique: Palace of Flesh Chapter!]

Your essential nature has been elevated to a certain level!

This is a prompt before the two are combined.

However, the Flesh Palace Ultimate did not add any physique attribute.

However, Uesugi Tetsu could indeed perceive the indescribable and enormous changes that had occurred to his physical body.

Forget about taking down a cow with a single punch; he thinks he can now easily mold carbon powder into diamonds and mass-produce them on an assembly line.

"The essence of life..."

He opened the attribute panel and found that the four major attributes had indeed not changed, except for the 25 points of physique attribute he had gained from breaking through the Dragon Tendon and collecting the four ultimate attributes.

However, a deep, striking dark gold color appeared on the [Physique] attribute.

The other three attributes remained unchanged.

"Only the physical essence of life has changed..."

Uesugi Tetsu thought this was normal, since the Palace of Flesh was only related to physical strength.

In addition, when Uesugi Tetsu unleashes his full power now, he no longer becomes a muscle-bound behemoth like he did when he mastered one or two ultimate states.

He has perfect control over every bit of power in his physical body.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the prompts ahead and found that he had completely completed the training of the [Sea of ​​Qi] and [Palace of Flesh] chapters of his breathing techniques.

Breathing techniques have reached a dead end for the time being.

To continue cultivating and unlocking the potential of one's physical spirit, one must first master the "Nourishing the Spirit" method within the Life-Saving Breathing Technique.

Simply resorting to brute force will only lead to less effective results. Speaking of the physical body and the divine…

[Respected World Walker, your Flesh Palace - Ultimate and Complete Divine Treasure - Ephemeral Calamity Sea have merged into one under your will, becoming the "Flesh Palace - Calamity Sea Divine Treasure"!]

【Palace of Flesh: The Treasure of the Sea God】

[Hidden Treasure Development Progress: 5%]

[Current effect: Burning life force in the sea of ​​tribulation grants the physical body both "temporary" and "permanent" enhancements.]

[—Using my flesh as a boat, I crossed the sea of ​​calamity.]

Uesugi Tetsu took a deep breath and synchronized the "golden flame" that had enveloped the physical spirit, burned the hearts of the eight hundred nuns, and generated the excess life force from the Five Elements Qi Sea and the powerful physical body into his own body.

—Although it is necessary to constantly burn this life force to ensure that the physical deity does not fall into the sea of ​​tribulation, it is still quite good to be able to choose to [turn on and off].

The next instant, Uesugi Tetsuya's pupils, already tinged with gold, narrowed slightly as he mentally cursed,

"Damn, even a 5% development rate is already this outrageous. Just how monstrous is this Tribulation Sea Divine Treasure...?"

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but Uesugi Tetsu felt that he could now use the power of the Sea of ​​Calamity’s Treasury to punch his past self to pieces.

Because everything about oneself—strength, speed, nerve reaction, thought speed—is transformed by "burning life," resulting in a comprehensive and seamless improvement!

Unfortunately, there wasn't a version of myself from a previous second standing in front of me, nor was there any blind ghost or deity coming to see if I could withstand his current punch.

As soon as Uesugi Tetsu drew away the power from the Sea of ​​Calamity's Treasury, he suddenly felt a weak emptiness.

Let's continue with the installation.

As for the effects related to "permanence," he hasn't felt any obvious effects yet, perhaps because the time it takes to burn his life force is too short.

outside world.

The blood-red sun, which had been hanging in the sky for a long time, suddenly disappeared, and in its place, the people of Shizuoka City felt a strange tightness in their chests.

"Who's passing by again, randomly casting intimidating spells?"

Inside the Special Affairs Bureau, the stationed ghosts and spirits frowned and released their senses.

But soon, he could sense that although the outward manifestation of this pressure was somewhat similar to that of ghosts and gods, it was fundamentally different in nature.

After a long pause, the guardian spirit, having confirmed the source and the visitor, showed a slight change in expression and murmured in shock.

"This is the physical body... the sheer pressure emanating from the physical body!?"

"I wonder what kind of breakthrough gift Uesugi-kun likes..."

Inside the Kokin-Kawa Museum.

Uesugi Tetsuya was completely unaware of the oppressive aura he unintentionally released.

He pondered that the next chapter of the normal breathing method should be "The Five Internal Organs Immortal," which is to cultivate the "spirit" of the five internal organs.

The "Nourishing Spirit Treasury" of the Life River Breathing Method is even more advanced. It not only adds a step of nourishment, but also adds the Spirit Treasury formed in the Flesh Palace stage on the basis of the five internal organs.

My own words... can no longer be called a mere divine treasure, but rather a complete "physical deity".

"This is much more troublesome than simply figuring out the internal organs."

Uesugi Tetsu thought, "Afterwards, I might have to go to the Tokugawa family to retrieve the Spirit Treasury Chapter of my Life River Breathing Technique. I suppose the old tortoise under the grave won't have any objections."

With all his thoughts gone, Uesugi Tetsuya opened his eyes wide.

Suddenly, the oppressive aura surrounding the entire city of Shizuoka intensified, making most people feel inexplicably breathless.

Qing's congratulatory voice, brimming with undisguised joy, came from the side.
"Congratulations, Lord Uesugi, on completing all four ultimate forms of the Flesh Palace and greatly increasing your strength after combining them into one!"

It seems Xiaoqing is still unaware of the complete divine treasure...

Uesugi Tetsu smiled and heard Ao continue, "However... you might need to tone down the oppressive aura emanating from your body, as it's already affecting the daily lives of ordinary people."

He blinked in surprise, then, after a moment's thought, a look of apology appeared on his face: "I'm really sorry..."

Because Uesugi Tetsu didn't feel any pressure at all—the so-called pressure was just a "strong sense of presence" to him, who was being subjected to the Sea God's Treasury of Calamity.

A sense of presence will arise as long as something exists.

Fortunately, Uesugi Tetsu had learned the Jade Heart Technique from Ririko before, and now his control over his physical body was already perfect, which allowed him to retract the existence that was not even a breath into his body.

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Tetsu raised his finger.

The spirit control technique operated silently, gathering all the spiritual energy from the surrounding mountains and wilderness within dozens of miles of Shizuoka City and then liquefying it.

Soon, this spiritual energy gathered in the city, creating a light drizzle of spiritual energy.

Even ordinary people who get wet from this spiritual rain can have their immune system strengthened, and those who cultivate Yin-Yang techniques can benefit even more from it.

This can be considered his apology for his previous careless behavior.

After doing all this, Uesugi Tetsu opened the attribute panel again.

It was discovered that the values ​​on it had not changed due to the Tribulation Sea Divine Treasure; the physical strength, willpower, and spiritual power were still over 200 points.

However, the three attributes of [Willpower], [Charisma], and [Spiritual Arts] all showed wisps of faint gold, the same color as the "golden flames" that burned life force.

The "Physical Fitness" section is the most eye-catching, with its blend of dark gold and gold.

"Is the [temporary] effect of the Divine Treasure of the Calamity Sea also an enhancement of the essence of life...?"

—Has it transformed into the life essence of ghosts and gods?
However, Uesugi Tetsu knew what kind of demonic aura the Hannya mask brought, and felt that it was somewhat unlike what was described.

"Forget it, forget about it for now."

He shook his head and asked Qing, "Qing, how long has it been since I started my breakthrough?"

Qing replied, "Less than a day and a half, about thirty-two hours."

Fortunately, it hasn't been too long.

Uesugi Tetsu smiled after confirming that Chisa hadn't called him and that all ten of the Hyakume's eyes were still intact.

He then looked at the two-foot-tall man sitting on the lotus platform not far away, absorbing the offerings, his aura having expanded to dozens of times its previous size.

"It needs to be controlled a little more."

Uesugi Tetsu looked at Xiao Jia again and found that it was still oblivious to what was happening around it and was sleeping soundly.

"Just go to sleep, who can sleep as long as you, Jia..."

Uesugi Tetsu didn't say anything more, preparing to first send his greatly enhanced consciousness to [Hyakume] to check on Chisa and the situation in Asahikawa City.

Based on this, we can then decide whether or not to personally descend upon this place.

Uesugi Tetsu slowly closed his eyes.

Consciousness plunged into darkness, then quickly rose again.

Faintly, screams and cries for help came from all directions, but they seemed to be far away and were not very clear.

Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes again.

I saw the blood-soaked city of Asahikawa.
