Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

In Tianyuan’s mind,

After Tengen's consciousness withdrew and turned to reality, Gojo Satoru also put away the Crimson Lotus Heart Image. If he made a move now, his soul would dissipate within minutes, causing him to miss the ending. Fortunately, Tengen couldn't figure out his true strength and chose to stop, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

He'll be able to start steaming after catching his breath for a while!

As Xia Jie's remnant soul slowly ventured deeper into the Hongxing Palace, her form became increasingly stable and solid.

In the center of the Palace of Death,

The giant tree bound by the shimenawa rope had long since been transformed into a twisted giant tree made up of countless intertwined souls.

Ninety-nine percent of the souls that make up the tree trunk are the souls of cursed spirits. Only a few souls with still clear outlines are slowly sinking into the tree trunk. They are all people that Xia Jie knows.

Well... although they had known Xia Jie for less than a day, Xia Jie was certain that one-sided familiarity still counted as familiarity.

Takaha, Fukuro, Kujuku Yuki, Hikari, and Rōsō are all included, but Zhōshō, Kōdō, and the Angel Laisūka are not.

Xia Jie didn't know where the souls of the three, or rather the four, had gone. Had they been completely swallowed by the tree, or had they not yet been assimilated by Tian Yuan, or had they broken free from the shackles of fate and escaped?

Because Tianyuan's thoughts are currently focused on the actual battle, Xia Jie is unable to glean much useful information from his mental image.

High atop the giant tree, Lu Suo's single eye was open, half his face already buried in the trunk. In terms of speaking, Lu Suo, with his mouth buried in the tree, was even less capable than Steve and his ilk from Big Fruit TV.

But her voice went straight to Xia Jie's "ears". It was not Xia Youjie's voice, but an extremely unfamiliar female voice that was mixed with the timbres of countless others.

Xia Jie understood that this was most likely the very first sound Lu Suo made.

"Thank you for bringing me so many unknowns, Mr. Xia Jie. The future that Tianyuan wants to create may be even more beautiful than the future I originally planned..."

If I had met you a few hundred years earlier, I would have definitely helped you achieve my ideal.

What is this person saying?

Xia Jie's heart was pounding, but her gaze remained calm as she looked into Lu Suo's swirling pupils. Deep within those pupils, a humanoid cursed spirit covered in stitches was struggling frantically, but its body was being dragged down by the vortex, sinking deeper and deeper.

"Following Lu Suo, is Tian Yuan also going to get his hands on Zhenren's soul? The transformation of Mo Xu Luo Jia into Wu Wei is terrifying."

Although she had many thoughts on her mind, Xia Jie did not intend to show them. She simply nodded and calmly spoke:

"I will stop Tengen."

"Why stop it? That is the eternal utopia that countless idealists throughout history have dreamed of, a place free from evil and strife."

Lu Suo's pupils turned to Xia Jie, and a very genuine look of doubt appeared on half of his face.

"A person without desires is like a thinking stone; having neither fear nor desire, there is no need for thought. What is built from stones is naturally a civilization of stones, not a civilization of humankind."

"It seems sophistry and confusing arguments won't work on someone like you. Fine, before we fight, let me ask you on behalf of Tengen: what exactly is desire in your heart?"

Upon hearing the question, Xia Jie stretched out her right hand and clenched it into a fist in front of Lu Suo Mian, as if trying to grasp something ethereal.

"Desire is the first cause of life. Fear drives us to seek advantage and avoid harm; hunger drives us to seek food; curiosity drives us to think; and longing drives us to perpetuate our existence. Humanity must abide by the right desires and restrain the wrong desires in order to move toward the right future."

"Hehe, what a twisted logic, completely contrary to the Dao of Emptiness that Tianyuan pursues."

Even if it's a heretical doctrine, it's still a million times better than yours.

Before the words were finished, Tianyuan's inner voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire realm of mental images.

"Having attained Nirvana, oneness is complete; I shall become a Mahasattva."

As the inner voice echoed, the form of the Infinite Tether, controlled by the Lasso, appeared first.

A thousand hands form mudras, a thousand hands hold the Dharma treasure, their light as clear as jade, their countenance solemn and dignified.

The Vajrasattva form, manifested by the split point of the Heavenly Origin, followed closely behind.

A great light shines from behind his head. He wears a crown of five wisdoms, sits cross-legged on a lotus platform, holds a bell and vajra in his hands, and forms the Vajra Hum Kala mudra.

Then the two minds merged into one, transforming into a seated figure of Mahavairocana Buddha, with his hands in the meditation mudra and his upper body exposed.

A majestic Dharma image stood between Xia Jie and the giant tree of souls, its enormous body, over twenty feet long, completely blocking the path with its outstretched arms, giving Xia Jie no chance to rescue those souls.

Beyond the mental image, the real battlefield.

"Domain Expansion - Mahaprabhātu!"

"Domain Expansion: Demon-Slaying Chef".

Since Xia Jie entered the mind image and took away 99% of Tian Yuan's mind, the Heavenly Will Hand that shrouded the Dharma Realm finally disappeared.

Without the suppression of fate, Su Nuo instantly opened Maha Padma and collided violently with the Demon Lord's Chef of Demon Xu Luo.

Frost against blood, ice-sealed shrines against bone shrines, freezing strikes against soul strikes.

Eleven breaths later, both domains collapsed and shattered simultaneously.

Almost simultaneously, Gojo Satoru, in his cursed corpse form, made his move in perfect unison.

The true blood reshaped his body and also restored his ability to expand his domain.

Sensing the fading power of his true blood within him, he dared not waste this brief resurrection time and unleashed his final domain.

"Domain Expansion—Boundless Void—Revised!"

Having undergone the baptism of the Universal Voice and survived a brush with death, Gojo Satoru now has a completely new understanding of his field.

In other words,

Gojo Satoru has grasped the core of the field!

If the original boundless void was a bottomless inner space that trapped the enemy's body and soul, filled with endless external information;

So, the current Boundless Void Modification sets the enemy's physical body as an unlimited surface, and places their soul separately on an unlimited inner side, making their body the embodiment of endless information, forcing them to continuously perform atomic-level self-observation until their consciousness completely dissolves into endless self-information.

To the enemy in the field, every cell, even every atom, is an observable infinite space.

He will witness his own reality here, and also the infinite emptiness within reality.

This realm, which allows the physical void to manifest, can also be called—the ultimate reality.

Compared to the simple information indoctrination of the original realm, the modified realm is hundreds of times greater in both the amount of information and its destructive power on consciousness.

"The souls of Itajō and the others are all watching from inside your body, so let me show off a little longer."

Watching Mokuro, who was foaming at the mouth from being tormented by his own information after losing his ability to adapt, Gojo Satoru smiled and brushed the white hair from his forehead.
