In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

In Inazuma, there are only a handful of well-known powerhouses. While there may be some reclusive powerhouses, they might not know about Capachelli.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence that the challenge was completed? That possibility cannot be ruled out, but... it's still a bit hard to accept.

Ultimately, Suzumiya Yuu decided to go and see where Raine Kongen was challenging her. Perhaps all of that person's steps were correct, but he still ended up dying at Raine Kongen's hands.

After all, it was formed from the resentment of a demon god after his death. Just look at how the scattered soldiers used the resentment of Orobas to invade Narukami Island two years ago. It is something that no human can resist.

Chapter 127 The Evil Spirit That Appeared from Nowhere

Above Tianyun Pass, there is a huge stone platform surrounded by surging lightning elements. If you are not careful, you will be turned into ashes.

Liang Gongyou stepped onto the platform, but it was empty. There was no Lei Yin Quan Xian, nor the last feather he had been searching for.

"As expected, someone beat me to it." Liang Gongyou was not surprised by the expected result, only a little disappointed. After all, it was three thousand points, which was a considerable reward for him.

He returned along the same route, since there was nothing left on Seira Island that caught his attention, so Suzumiya Yu decided to return to Narukami Island.

To leave Tenun Pass, Suzumiya Yu had to leave through Asase Shrine, since his boat was moored there and he couldn't swim directly back.

If only they could fly, but it seems like no one in Demon Slayer can fly. If I had to name one, it seems like only one of Upper Moon Four Hantengu's clones can.

In any case, there's no way that Suzumiya Yu would trade her Blood Demon Art for Hantengu's, because the premise is too outrageous.

While passing through an abandoned village, Suzumiya Yuu spotted a group of Hilichurls in the distance. He chose to ignore them, as these monsters were quite common and they wouldn't notice him if he kept a little distance.

But soon, Suzumiya Yuu saw something unexpected in them.

For some unknown reason, a strange black mist was emanating from the bodies of those Hilichurls, making them look... like the vengeful spirits of the Eight Island.

It would be quite normal to encounter a malevolent spirit on Bayun Island, but this is Qinglai Island. No matter how strong Orobas's resentment is, it's impossible for him to bring the power of the malevolent spirit here, right?

Moreover, Qinglai Island is basically uninhabited by humans. Where there are no humans, the resentment of demons will not visit, which is why it seems so strange.

This immediately piqued Ryou's interest. He knew that the evil spirit was the same kind of power as Liyue's karmic burden, capable of corrupting people's minds, and even immortals could be tortured to death.

The source of this power is outside the world.

That place does not belong to the continent of Teyvat, nor is it under the jurisdiction of the Sky Isles. The darkness that swept across the entire continent five hundred years ago also originated there.

If I remember correctly, that place should be called the Dark Outer Sea, which is mentioned in the introduction of the weapon breakthrough material [Dark Meteorite Iron].

To put it simply, the defeated demons during the Demon God War, unwilling to live under the rule of the Seven Gods, went to the Dark Outer Sea, a place beyond the reach of the Seven Gods and Sky Island.

Not only that, the demons who gained new power there all changed their names to "Evil Gods". The serpent god Orobas also went to the Dark Sea and obtained the power of the evil god there.

The evil god is a pitch-black entity that can devour everything. It is the primordial power of the Dark Outer Sea. Although the evil gods have obtained a portion of its power, their primordial power ultimately comes from the continent of Teyvat, so they cannot fully control that power.

This may also be the reason why they launched an invasion of the Teyvat continent, because only by bringing this power to their own homeland and absorbing it can they completely master it.

It is worth mentioning that among the seven kingdoms of Teyvat, Inazuma is the closest to the Dark Sea. In the war five hundred years ago, they were the first to bear the brunt and suffered heavy losses, including the death of the first Thor, Baal.

This shows that the Dark Sea and Kanria are inextricably linked, because not long after the Darkness descended, Tenri led the Seven Gods to destroy Kanria, and there must have been a reason for this.

However, since the current storyline of Genshin Impact has only progressed to so far, everything mentioned above is merely Yuu Suzumiya's personal speculation. Whether it is as he thinks or not remains to be seen in the subsequent development of the story.

Now, Suzumiya Yu is very curious about where the evil spirit power on these Hilichurls comes from. Could it be that some creatures from the Dark Sea have crossed the border?

This possibility cannot be ruled out, and at the same time, it made Suzumiya Yu realize some things.

Could it be... that what happened at Tianyun Pass was the work of that being from the Dark Outer Sea? That makes sense, since the evil gods were once the demon gods who ruled the continent of Teyvat, and they must know something about what happened in Teyvat.

So, are they planning another invasion of Teyvat? And collecting the remaining power of these demons now is just preparation for war.

If that's the case, Suzumiya Yu can't just sit idly by.

Because he needs to survive in this world, he absolutely cannot allow it to be destroyed. The strength of the Seven Gods has now fallen to an unprecedented level. If the Dark Turmoil of five hundred years ago were to happen again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Perhaps when Teyvat is unable to resist the darkness, the gods of Sky Island will lend a helping hand, but if that happens, Yui Suzumiya will definitely be discovered, so we absolutely cannot let Sky Island intervene.

"Ya!"

After thinking for a long time, a loud shout from a Hilichurl suddenly startled Suzumiya Yuu. He looked up and saw that he had been discovered by them.

This is not surprising. Although evil spirits can corrupt the minds of living beings, they can also significantly enhance their various attributes, including their perception, while destroying their bodies.

Well, if an ordinary Hilichurl were to become tainted by a malevolent spirit, their power might rival that of the Hilichurl King.

Even so, they couldn't harm Suzumiya Yu in the slightest, and in the end, they were all killed instantly with a single strike.

However, the black mist clinging to them did not dissipate; instead, it began to seek new hosts to parasitize.

Suzumiya Yu is the only surviving creature in the vicinity, so he is naturally their target.

"Breath of the Sun, First Form, Waltz!"

Suzumiya Yu didn't stand on ceremony with them and directly used her strongest Sun Breathing technique, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

The evil spirit that had been cleaved apart by a single strike did not disappear; instead, it instantly regenerated and immediately lunged at Suzumiya Yu.

Suzumiya Yu initially considered escaping, since evil spirits were indeed terrifying, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

If a ghost's body can decompose all matter, then can a malevolent spirit do the same?

He had this idea two years ago when the evil spirits ravaged Narukami Island, but the situation was too critical at the time, and he had no time to verify it.

But now it's different. The concentration of those evil spirits is very low, and their numbers are not many. Anyone with a slightly stronger resistance can spend some time dissolving them.

Chapter 128 The Owner of Qinglai Pill

She stood there motionless, letting the evil spirits invade her body.

I didn't feel any pain, and my body didn't resist the invasion of the evil spirit. This shows that a small amount of evil spirit cannot cause harm to the human body in a short period of time.

But things might change over time. For example, the Hikimura massacre on Hachiyū Island was an example of how an entire village was infected by a malevolent spirit. Only a few people survived, and they all went insane.

Therefore, Suzumiya Yu did not slack off, but closed her eyes to search for the evil spirit power that had invaded her body.

He quickly found it. It was probably because his body had broken down the divine power of the two gods, so those evil spirits were severely suppressed and there was basically no place for them to hide inside his body.

Now, Ryoujiro directly mobilizes the cells to break them down, which makes the evil spirits even more irritable, but they will soon be suppressed.

Before long, Suzumiya Yu had completely disintegrated the evil spirit. Disintegrating this thing was much easier than disintegrating the Ice Queen's divine power.

Moreover, the more substances her body breaks down, the stronger Ryougu Yu's physique becomes. This is an improvement that can be achieved without a system, just like how the more people a demon devours, the stronger it becomes.

There are definitely more than just those Hilichurls on Qinglai Island that have been tainted by the evil spirits. Ryougu plans to search again; maybe she'll find something unexpected.

......

Qinglai Island is not very large; Tianyun Pass alone occupies almost half of its area, so Liang Gongyou found it easy to search. In just a short while, she found many demons tainted by evil spirits.

He destroyed all the monsters, then absorbed the evil spirits within them and decomposed them using his cells.

As he decomposed the evil spirits more and more, he developed a certain immunity to them. He just didn't know if he could directly resist the primal power of the Dark Outer Sea.

In addition, Suzumiya Yu also discovered that some places seemed to have been visited by someone not long ago, because there were many monster corpses lying on the ground, which was not his doing.

In other words, besides Suzumiya Yu, are there any other people on Qinglai Island now?

This is good news for Suzumiya Yu. Perhaps the other party is the creature from the Dark Sea. If she can find it, she will do everything in her power to destroy it, provided that she can defeat it.

By observing the time of death of each monster, Suzumiya Yu could determine their whereabouts, traveling westward from Pinghai Fortress in the northeast of Qinglai Island, passing through Yueshi Village, and finally arriving at Qinglai Maru.

It is important to note that Seira Maru is not a place name, but a fleet that disappeared hundreds of years ago, leaving only abandoned ships.

Here, Suzumiya Yu can still find the corpses of those monsters, and they died recently, meaning he will be able to find them soon.

Near the Seirai Maru, apart from the abandoned ship that had been cut in half, there was nothing else to be found, which suggests that the other party must have gone inside the ship.

Although she didn't know why he did it, Suzumiya Yu followed him.

The ship was very large and sank to the ground for unknown reasons. Only part of the hull was visible on the surface, while the rest was hidden underground.

Summoning his compass, Suzumiya Yu carefully moved forward, while simultaneously maximizing his sensory abilities so that he could immediately detect even the slightest movement.

There was nothing special about the inside of the ship; it was overgrown with weeds and hadn't been there for a long time.

Her feet made a soft thud as she stepped onto the wooden planks, but she found nothing.

He arrived at the second level, where there was a huge gap in the ship's hull, through which he could see an underground world that resembled a cave.

Inside the cave was a broken section of a ship's hull, and on the hull, Suzumiya Yu saw a creature emanating a malevolent black aura.

The creature's form was no different from a human's, but there were some differences in various parts of its body. At this moment, it was kneeling on the ground, with a rusty katana stuck in front of it.

Suzumiya Yu had no idea what he was doing. By using the Transparent World to control his own aura, the other party had no idea that he was being discovered.

And so he moved forward step by step, but accidentally broke a tree branch, the sound of which immediately attracted the other person's attention.

The next second, a katana flew at a speed completely invisible to the naked eye, but was blocked by Suzumiya Yu's even more unbelievable reaction.

"what?"

The fact that it wasn't killed in one blow surprised the creature. It stood up from the ground and turned to look at Ryou Miyako.

At this moment, Suzumiya Yu's attention was entirely focused on the katana on the ground, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The blade has a purple base and many crack-like patterns. Yui Suzumiya recognized the sword; it was the exclusive weapon of Ayaka Kamisato in the game—Mist-Cutting Reflection.

Long ago, the whereabouts of the Kirigiri's Radiance were unknown. Otherwise, Suzumiya Yu wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to find the Uraemon Mankō Tenmoku.

But now? This katana, which had disappeared from Inazuma for so long, has reappeared, and in the hands of an unknown being.

Judging from the dense black mist of evil spirits swirling around it, it should be the creature from the Dark Outer Sea. But why is Inazuma's famous sword on its person?

"Who are you?"

While he was wondering, the unknown creature spoke, which surprised Suzumiya Yu even more, because it could actually speak human language.

However, he quickly calmed down and said, "I also want to ask you this question. By the way... are you human?"

The atmosphere immediately became much more harmonious; at least the two were no longer at each other's throats.

"Human... I used to be, but now... I don't know." After thinking for a while, the other party gave an answer that Suzumiya Yu was not very satisfied with.

"All I know is that this sea area used to be my territory, this warship was mine, and there were dozens of brothers on board, but they... are all gone."

His words revealed a strong sense of humanity, and Suzumiya Yuu had already given up the idea of ​​killing him, unless he dared to attack her first.

"I remember now!" Suddenly, the other person became inexplicably happy. "My name is Akaho Hyakume-ki, I used to be a famous pirate in Inazuma, and... and that meddlesome old shrine maiden at the shrine..."

Halfway through its sentence, its emotions subsided again, and a sense of sadness almost permeated the entire cave, which Suzumiya Yu, with her powerful senses, captured one by one.
