Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

So by the third day, all the little demons kept in the Fujikasa Mountain had been killed.

On the human side, only some unfortunate natives died or were injured; the reincarnators suffered virtually no casualties.

Seeing this, the Demon Slayer Corps examiners had no choice but to announce that everyone had passed the selection.

The ghosts have all been killed, so there's no point in staying in these mountains for seven days.

After the natives who passed the selection process finished choosing their ores, they went straight home. Tanjiro, for example, returned to Mount Sagiri and waited for his Nichirin Blade to be delivered to his door.

The reincarnators were all taken to the Ubuyashiki mansion, the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Here, Luo Yan and his companions met the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who shared a common ancestor with Muzan Kibutsuji.

This is a man plagued by illness, whose face is almost disfigured.

However, he is also a guy with great leadership qualities and a strong will.

The Ubuyashiki clan regards the existence of the Demon King as a curse upon their clan. Since the Warring States period, they have taken it upon themselves to eliminate the Demon King as their family mission, a mission that has continued unabated until the Taisho era.

At the Ubuyashiki mansion, the group of reincarnators listened to his speech and were then assigned "Gorilla Scarlet Sand Iron," "Gorilla Scarlet Ore," and Kasugai Crow.

"Crimson Gorilla Sand Iron" and "Crimson Gorilla Ore" are both story items, usable only in this world. They can be socketed into equipment and weapons to add a "Demon Slayer" attribute to the weapon, which can deal massive damage to creatures with dark attributes.

After delivering the items, Kagaya Ubuyashiki dropped another bombshell.

"This year has seen a surge of outstanding swordsmen. Many warriors possess great strength and talent. In order to ensure that everyone receives a status commensurate with their abilities, after discussions with the Pillars, we have decided to add three more Pillars to the list."

Whether or not you can obtain the title of Pillar will be determined by the number of demons you slay. Over the next two weeks, the three warriors who slay the most demons will receive the title of Pillar.

After hearing this, the reincarnators immediately received a notification from the Nightmare Space.

"Support missions, title competition begins."

Slaying a low-level demon not only earns you points, but also a little Demon Slayer Corps merit.

Killing a low-level demon who has mastered Blood Demon Art will earn you ten Demon Slayer Corps merits.

Slaying the waning crescent moon grants fifty merit points.

Slaying the crescent moon will earn you 150 points.

The system message isn't finished yet.

"Obtaining the title of Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps grants you a random breathing skill."

Gu Ke /span "The title of Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps can be worn. Different titles can enhance different attributes and skills."

Titles, like equipment, may not add as many attributes as weapons and armor, but they often come with special skills.

For example, a title like "Skull Crusher" comes with a passive skill: attacking an enemy's head has a certain chance of causing stun.

This is different from the chance that weapons and protective gear will cause dizziness.

The skills associated with the title cannot be exempted, do not require attribute checks, and are triggered entirely by randomness.

This skill is so overpowered; once triggered, it will stun the opponent no matter how strong they are.

For example, Luo Yan has the strength of a realm lord, but if Feng Wujue wears this title and hits him on the head with pipe wrenches, Luo Yan will also be stunned as long as this skill is triggered.

The stun skills of weapons and armor require attribute assessment; as long as the base attributes are high enough, an exemption can be obtained.

Therefore, upon hearing the reward title, most reincarnators' eyes lit up, revealing an expression of determination to obtain it.

Even Luo Yan was somewhat tempted.

A rule-based stun skill—this is a truly divine skill; you shouldn't miss out on it.

After Kagaya Ubuyashiki finished speaking, the group of reincarnators left the mansion in droves and began searching for the demon's whereabouts.

The Demon Slayer Corps has its own intelligence system, but the reincarnators trust their tracking skills more.

Without the need for the ravens to relay information, they began searching for the ghosts on their own.

Once all the reincarnators had left, the Pillars kneeling behind Kagaya Ubuyashiki began to question him.

Rock Pillar - Melancholy Island Gyoumei, a giant with a monk-like appearance, was the first to ask: "My lord, why do we need to replenish the pillars? Over the years, the pillars have not fallen."

The reason why Kagaya Ubuyashiki issued such an order was, of course, because the Nightmare Space was affecting his mind.

However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also had his own ideas.

"As you can see, the Demon Slayer Corps' system for training personnel has remained unchanged since the Warring States period. Under this system, what achievements have we made?"

The highest-ranking demon we've slain is only a waning crescent moon demon; we haven't even killed a waxing crescent moon demon, let alone a demon king.

"If this system continues, I don't know how much longer it will take to kill the Ghost King."

“The longer the Demon King lives, the more people will die because of him, and the more sins the Ubuyashiki clan will accumulate.”

Kagaya Ubuyashiki sighed: "I don't have much time left. I want to see the mission of the Ubuyashiki family accomplished in my lifetime."

“I see new hope in these newcomers; their strength far surpasses that of any previous Demon Slayer Corps members.”

"I created the new system to give them free rein and see what they can achieve."

Beimingyu Xingming nodded and said, "The strongest batch? I agree with the lord's judgment. Among those newcomers, there are indeed quite a few who make me feel the pressure."

The others nodded in agreement.

Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Pillar, smiled and said, "Yes, I wonder where they trained before. So many strong people suddenly appeared."

Sound Hashira, Uzui Tengen, said dismissively, "This world is vast. Don't think that there are no powerful individuals in this world besides the Demon Slayer Corps."

Uzui Tengen was once a ninja, but he became a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps later in life. Therefore, he knew that in addition to the Demon Slayer Corps, there were many other masters among the ninja and samurai groups, as well as various hidden schools.

However, his idea may also bear traces of mental manipulation by the Nightmare Space.

The Nightmare Space implants identities into the reincarnators. If the natives doubt these identities, the Nightmare Space will interfere with the natives' minds and forcibly correct their thinking.

Therefore, the Pillars only questioned for a moment before accepting Yuzui Tengen's explanation and regarding the Reincarnators as masters from those reclusive sects.

Chapter 159 Natagumo Mountain

Let's go back a little bit.

Just as the Reincarnators of the Demon Slayer Corps were conducting their final selection.

Those reincarnators from the opposing camp, after displaying their unique abilities, also joined Muzan Kibutsuji's forces.

Muzan Kibutsuji met with them and reached a cooperation agreement.

Muzan tacitly allowed them to expand their influence in Edo in exchange for their help in finding the Blue Spider Lily.

Finding the blue spider lily is also a mission for the reincarnators in the Ghost King's faction.

Anyone who finds the blue spider lily can receive a blood baptism from the Demon King, gaining an increase in all attributes and being granted a Blood Demon Technique.

The reincarnated ones are naturally aware of the blue spider lily.

It was a medicinal ingredient that could make Muzan Kibutsuji no longer afraid of sunlight; it was a flower that only bloomed for a short while at noon.

The original work did not reveal where the blue spider lily grows, making it very troublesome for the reincarnators to find it.

Some reincarnators even gave up on this needle-in-a-haystack side mission and instead began hunting down native members of the Demon Slayer Corps to earn points.

Let's return to the Demon Slayer Corps.

After receiving their branch missions, the first place the reincarnators thought of was Mount Natagumo.

To earn the title of Pillar, one must slay many demons, especially powerful ones.

In the original work, the place with the most ghosts that everyone can think of is Mount Natagumo.

Most ghosts have their own hunting territories, and a town usually only has one lower-level ghost.

The ghosts are too scattered, which greatly troubles the reincarnators' hunting operations.

Natagumo Mountain is different. There's a whole family of evil spirits who know blood demon magic there, and a waning crescent moon. Destroying the demon's lair on Natagumo Mountain will earn you a lot of points in no time.

After nearly twenty reincarnators inquired about the location of Mount Natagumo, they quickly set off.

Meanwhile, in the Natagumo Mountains, a group of uninvited guests wearing hoods arrived ahead of time.

Rui, the fifth Lower Moon, stopped the group. Seeing the dense demonic aura emanating from them, Rui assumed they were his own kind and did not attack them first.

A hooded man took off his hood, revealing his true face.

That was Lower Moon Two, Rokuro, a minor character in the original story who begged Muzan for more blood when Muzan was eliminating the Lower Moons, and was killed by Muzan.

The lulu approached Lei and spoke to him, explaining his purpose.

……

"Huh? You want me to join Kars's ranks? Who is Kars? Is he stronger than Lord Muzan?"

Lei looked surprised after hearing what Lulu said.

Muzan's power was such that neither the Upper Moon nor the Lower Moon could resist him.

Muzan is the origin of demons; all demons are born from receiving his blood.

Therefore, all the demons are under Muzan's control. Whenever Muzan wants to, he can freely spy on the demons' thoughts and cause them to explode and die.

Under such absolute dominance, how could they possibly dare to betray Muzan?

"Lord Kars' greatness is beyond your imagination. He gave us new life and freed us from Muzan's control."

A demon dressed in a purple kimono, speaking gently, with blood-red eyes, took off his hood and stood in front of Rui.

"Former Lower Moon One, Yasaka, how could this be... Weren't you dead? Why are you here?" Rui said, looking at the woman in front of him in shock.

The Lower Moon One, Yasaka, also known as the Ubume, was killed by Shinazugawa Sanemi before he became the Wind Pillar.

Her appearance here, when she should have already turned to ashes and had no chance of resurrection, was truly astonishing.

"That's why I said Lord Kaz gave me a new life. His strength is beyond your imagination," Guhuoniao Misaka said with a light laugh.

Tired of looking around, now that Guhuoniao has been resurrected, are there any others who have been resurrected?

His gaze fell on the others, and he spotted a ghost wearing a black overcoat and an officer's hat.

“Pelang, even you have been resurrected,” Lei asked in a deep voice.

Pero, the former Lower Moon Two, was a demon who used the Blood Demon Art that allowed him to freely manipulate shadows. He was killed by Kyojuro long ago.

The man in the black coat came out: "Long time no see, Lei. I didn't expect you to still be hiding here playing house!"
