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

He was just one finger away from the peak.

Along with the surge of immense magical power came a deep hatred for Xia Jie, the magical spirit who had reached her peak.

"I've made up my mind, kid. I'm going to drag all the people you care about in front of you and kill them all. Then I'll find four gay guys to give you the ultimate humiliation, and then I'll lock you in a cesspool so that you'll repent for your transgression forever and ever."

Among the comics that Hu Zhang extensively explored, there were several comics titled "Sea Tiger" created by a Hong Kong cartoonist.

As a child, Yuji Itadori was amazed by the strength, dominance, and power of the characters, and saddened by the suffering they endured.

Sukuna, who had watched Itadori's memories when he was bored, just scoffed at it.

But in his extreme anger, he suddenly remembered two plot points from the comic book that he could use to get revenge on Xia Jie.

The first is—the ultimate insult!

Secondly—the rebirth pool!!!

Chapter 18 The Source of the Anomaly

Tengen, an omniscient sorcerer, is the most senior figure in the world of sorcery.

He held a high position and was deeply respected and loved, and possessed the immortality that countless emperors pursued throughout their lives.

As all sorcerers know, Tengen is immortal, but immortality does not mean he is ageless.

She needs to reset her physical information at least once every 500 years by assimilating the astral body that is born in accordance with fate, in order to prevent the unknown evolution of the immortality technique in order to combat aging.

This system has been running stably for over a thousand years and will continue to do so into the next millennium. This is common knowledge in the world of sorcery, as common as the rising and setting of the sun.

But twelve years ago, an unexpected accident changed everything.

The zero-powered Heaven and the tyrant "Fukugurojin" killed the contemporary astral body "Tenchi Riko" in front of the tunnel leading to the Red Star Palace, breaking the causal destiny that the world of magic was entangled with the six eyes, the astral body, and the Heavenly Primordial.

With their destiny severed and the celestial origin deprived of the astral magma available for assimilation, aging is thus accelerated.

Thus, evolution became irreversible.

Her ego gradually faded away, and heaven and earth became her new self. Her soul spread throughout the space and became omnipresent.

All things serve as her body.

Her body, hidden at the roots of the giant tree in the center of the Divine Star Palace, became a useless shell, essentially no different from the cicada's molted shell after it has molted.

As a master of barrier magic, she, or rather—it—retained its form and sanity only through barriers.

This "barrier" refers to the "emptiness barrier" inside the Hongxing Palace.

In Tianyuan's own words, it has evolved to a higher dimension, surpassing sorcerers and becoming a subtle existence between "existence" and "non-existence".

The Tianyuan that Xia Jie and the others saw upon entering the Hongxing Palace was actually just an illusion created by the real Tianyuan using barrier magic.

The true Tianyuan had already become the Hongxing Palace itself, and the people at that time were actually inside Tianyuan's body.

It's like the all-knowing, overlooking view of lower-dimensional beings by higher-dimensional beings in The Three-Body Problem.

Gao Yu's almost omnipotent spells, his notes filled with information about the future, and even the spell power fluctuations and soul forms of everyone who entered were all exposed to Tian Yuan's gaze.

This is normal; after all, who can escape the gaze of heaven and earth?

Thus, like a magpie yearning for change and the unknown, it stirred up a storm within itself, and began to yearn for change.

The sorcerer, hailed as omniscient, guarded the unchanging Heavenly Primordial Chaos, and finally awaited its once-in-a-lifetime perfect great wave:

Xia Jie, who could foresee the future, and the judge who could read the lives of others, together formed the prototype of "omniscience".

Gao Yu, who can make anything he wants, and the angel who can eliminate all spell effects and banish others' "law" and "power," together formed the prototype of the "omnipotent" who is the only one who can use magic.

The Tengen himself, who can actively assimilate others by harmonizing his magical power, and the ultimate shikigami, Makuro, who symbolizes perfect coordination and circulation and can eliminate the hidden dangers of merging multiple souls.

It can awaken the Tianyuan body, infuse the shell left over from evolution with its inner essence, so that it can be used as the array base to increase the stability of the harmonizing ritual, the pre-star magma body - Ninety-Nine Yogi.

simply put,

As long as it first completes the assimilation of Gao Yu, uses Gao Yu's technique to restore Xia Jie's body before her death, and assimilates and absorbs the precognitive technique.

Then, the Demon Void, located at the core of the ten Shadow Spells, was used to absorb the flesh of heaven and earth, completing the deep assimilation, adaptation, and cycle of the souls and spells of Xia Jie, Fu Hei, Gao Yu, and others.

Then one can touch an infinite fraction of the throne of omniscience and omnipotence, locking the future of the world of magic into constant constancy.

Then one gains eternal "peace of mind".

Even if one desperately wants to maintain world peace, there will still be unrest and conflict.

Tianyuan decided to seize this opportunity.

Thus, the extremely difficult ritual of harmonizing incantation power, from incantation power to the soul, and then from the soul to the body, began silently in the Hongxing Palace, which served as the body of the Heavenly Origin.

The collapse of the execution and death order was not accidental, and the rules of the domain could not be easily shaken by Su Nuo's few objections.

The real reason was that the realm at that time was being invaded by the consciousness of Tianyuan, and the instability of the rules gave Su Nuo an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the instant the domain was about to collapse, Tengen, who had usurped the authority of the judge, forcibly confiscated Takaha's technique by establishing a binding and activating the Sun Chariot at maximum power. Takaha, who was not on guard and did not instinctively activate the technique to resist the domain's effects, did so because he was not vigilant enough.

Because the technique was overloaded by the high power of the Heavenly Origin, the technique of the Sun Chariot was broken, rather than being broken due to the so-called rule conflict as it appeared.

After the domain collapsed, Gao Yu was transferred to Tian Yuan's body.

Because the spell was temporarily sealed by the judgment of being executed and sentenced to death, Gao Yu, completely bewildered, was thus assimilated by Tianyuan.

As assimilation is complete.

Having acquired the "Superhuman Technique," which grants him the ability to achieve his desires to a certain extent, Tianyuan has been elevated to a youthful version of Tianyi at this moment.

Under the invisible hand of fate and the tangible oppressive feeling of Su Nuo, everyone subconsciously ignored the disappearance of Gao Yu, whose presence was not particularly strong to begin with.

As the battle with Su Nuo continued, in order to assimilate Xia Jie, the group was given a deeper hint by fate.

First, as a stellar body, Tsukumo Yuki, who was already highly compatible with the Origin of Heaven, almost forgot his responsibility to assist in the battle without much guidance and switched to a spectator mode.

Next is the bloated appearance of someone who only cares about his younger brother's safety and has little desire to fight.

Then there's Riche, whose mental state was somewhat scattered and whose resistance was weak due to the technique's failure.

Then there's Itadori, who felt that Gojo Satoru would be back soon, and was also self-aware enough to know that going up would likely be a hindrance to Natsuki, so he wasn't very eager to fight and was somewhat relaxed in both mind and body.

Because of the nature of the technique, Tianyuan went to great lengths to use suggestion to reach Qihua, the angel whose soul is most resistant to suggestion and harmonization, and to forcefully create a flaw through the symbiotic connection so that she would no longer help Xia Jie.

Since Su Nuo didn't care about the lives of ants and was further enraged by Xia Jie, Tian Yuan easily made him overlook the anomalies in the details.

As for Fushiguro? Forget about Fushiguro Megumi. Xia Jie said from the beginning that he didn't need to help, suppressing his willingness to assist. Besides, you can't expect a child who almost only cares about his sister to be very resistant to hints.

Finally, there's Xia Jie herself. Tian Yuan's hints to Xia Jie were like hitting an impenetrable barrier, completely ineffective.

Tianyuan felt that Xia Jie's spirit was very similar to his current state, like a living world, or even superior to it. Any interference from "techniques" could only remain at the level of objects and phenomena, and could not invade the conceptual world itself.

Even the spell manipulation technique can only control Xia Jie's physical body, and absolutely cannot interfere with her mind.

But fortunately,

Xia Jie, immersed in the thrill of the battle, didn't need any prompting; he simply forgot about Gao Yu and was only happy to be able to fight Su Nuo one-on-one.

If it weren't for the icy, refreshing Ice Condensation Spell, Xia Jie probably wouldn't have noticed anything amiss and would still be happily engaged in the Nuo battle.

Chapter 19 Cursed Embryo Hatching & Information Sukuna

Within the empty barrier that Tianyuan had created into a movie theater using barrier magic.

Yuki Tsukumo, Yuujin Itadori, Yuujin, Kuroko, Megumi Fushiguro, Hana Akira, and Hiromi Higurashi are watching the live broadcast of Natsuki and Sukuna's battle.

I watched until Xia Jie's blood-and-body form was shattered by Su Nuo, and her true form was frozen in ice crystals like a mosquito in amber.

Only then did people start to take the lead in commenting.

"So, Sukuna won?"

Wearing 3D glasses and eating popcorn, Huzhang spoke with a cheerful tone. In his mind, he was watching a Hollywood blockbuster in a movie theater with his classmates from the vocational college.

“DouDou is right!”

Zhang Xiang happily clapped for his younger brother, believing that his brother was always right.

To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of blood relation, he would even suspect that Xia Jie, the protagonist of the movie, was also his brother whom he had never met.

Wait a minute, even if Xia Jie really is his brother, he wouldn't be able to sense it even in a movie. Could it be that Xia Jie...

Is he really my little brother?

—Installation of non-existent memories—

The next second, Zhang Xiang looked up and tears streamed down his face. Xia Jie, he was Ou Dou Dou.

He stood up, walked from the audience to the screen, his expression incredibly determined.

"Xia Jie, after we finish watching the movie with You Ren, your brother will come and take you home."

In the front row, a low-class audience member, like a spoiled brat, left his seat and lay down on the floor in front of the screen to watch.

"Hmm, that's really impressive, Su Nuo."

Higurashi lay on his side, propping his head up with one hand, agreeing with Khajiitsu's words.

"The villain in this movie is way too strong! And the protagonist is even more like a monster than the villain! Where are his teammates? Where are his love and bonds? How could he lose like that? Who's watching such a terrible movie?"

Yuki Tsukumo's witty remarks were quite sharp. Megumi Fushiguro and Hana Kurusu, who were drinking cola side by side with her, nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of which, this boss is so realistic. Even though it's not a live-action movie, it gives me the feeling that he could step out of the screen."

Itachi grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into the mouth of the bloated man he had pulled back to his seat, making a somewhat puzzled comment.

"Isn't this what 3D effects were like in your time?" The angel on Kurusu's face expressed her confusion at Itajō's question. As an ancient sorcerer, even though she shared Kurusu's memories, she still held a certain degree of mystique regarding the various modern technologies that symbolized human civilization. But before she could finish speaking...

"Hey, you guys seem to be really enjoying this!"

On the screen, Su Nuo faces the audience, his left arm around Xia Jie's amber pendant, his right hand pressed against the camera lens, his voice filled with a chilling coldness.

"eight."

The next second, the screen was cleaved in two, and a figure with two faces and four hands slowly emerged from the crack in the middle.

Su Nuo rushed into the inner part of the barrier, but what greeted him was an empty movie theater, and his anger froze on his face.

When Su Nuo turned around, the crack on the screen had disappeared, clearly indicating that he was trapped inside the barrier.

Master Nuo was tricked by Tianyuan.
