People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

Miyamoto Musashi didn't utter a single curse, after all, Fujimaru Kyoya never referred to himself as her master, so his current self-proclaimed title was definitely just a guilty conscience.

The two appeared to be playfully fighting, but this was simply because it wasn't a real battlefield.

"Boom!"

The phantom of the Benevolent King, wielding four sharp swords, attacked the phantom of the Buddha. The swords in his hands represented earth, water, fire, and wind, and the swinging swords seemed to disrupt the heavens and earth, returning everything to its original "emptiness".

This is the swordsmanship that Miyamoto Musashi has practiced over the years.

"A magnificent sword."

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at the enormous Nioh, which was not a projection of some kind of god or Buddha, but rather a manifestation of Miyamoto Musashi's swordsmanship. The sword in his hand was not merely a physical or mysterious source of damage, but a sword that could sever cause and effect.

"I'm still a bit inferior to my master."

Miyamoto Musashi did not continue fighting Fujimaru Kyoya. They simply sat together watching the enormous phantoms in the sky clash. The Buddha, wielding a magic sword, defended against all of Niou's attacks, but the eerie ghostly aura emanating from it showed no mercy whatsoever.

Only tyranny.

This "Buddha" is also the best reflection of Fujimaru Kyoya's inner world at this moment. It represents the tyranny of a demon, the bloodlust of a demon sword, and the dark side of humanity. This is the inner world of Fujimaru Kyoya at this moment.

Yet this terrifying "Buddha" was bound by Fujimaru Kyouya's heart, and has never harmed anyone for so many years. This level of cultivation is already beyond the realm of "emptiness".

"Power is neither good nor evil; Buddha and demon are but a matter of one mind."

Suddenly, the sword in the hand of the eerie Buddha statue emitted a dazzling Buddhist light, and it chanted scriptures. The originally ordinary spiritual world was instantly filled with falling flowers and golden lotuses, creating a beautiful Buddhist paradise on earth.

"This……"

Miyamoto Musashi caught a flying flower, and instantly a sense of peace and tranquility swept over her. All her killing intent, competitive spirit, and desire for enlightenment dissipated, and she vaguely drew closer to the "emptiness" she sought.

"Your spiritual cultivation is still insufficient. You need more experience to reach 'emptiness'. You are not someone who likes to pursue fame and fortune. Don't let these things interfere with your cultivation."

The battle between Buddha and Benevolent King continues. The moment the sword that severs cause and effect clashed with the sword of emptiness, the entire spiritual world began to tremble.

"crunch~"

Like a fledgling hatching from its shell, or like the destruction of the world, cracks appeared on the earth, and a sense of destruction gradually spread, causing even the golden lotus flowers to lose their color.

Finally, in one of their clashes, the world shattered.

When Miyamoto Musashi came to her senses, there was no one in front of her. It was as if the battle of consciousness just now was just an illusion, and she knew that it was not an illusion.

Have I neglected the way of kendo all these years?

Miyamoto Musashi listened to the cicadas chirping outside the window. It was the height of summer, but the heat did not bother her. Instead, it brought her back to a state of tranquility that she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Why did she leave home back then?

Was it because she was looked down upon for being a woman, or because she was unable to learn the kendo she loved?

The matter is now unclear, but she understands one thing: her love for the sword remains unchanged.

"Master, I still want to learn swordsmanship."

Miyamoto Musashi got up and left. She was no longer the little girl who needed to be taught. Couldn't she have fame, fortune, and swordsmanship?

Yes, because she is Miyamoto Musashi, and she has such talent and perseverance.

Chapter 106 Hideyoshi's Ambition

You left without saying goodbye to Miyamoto Musashi, because that sword that severed cause and effect had a slight influence on you.

The evil thoughts you previously suppressed have severed ties with your karma and seem to be leaving your body. You understand that this may not be a bad thing.

If you only focus on yourself, then that's not necessarily a bad thing.

If Fujimaru Kyoya releases the restrictions, then these evil thoughts and karmic forces will be released, and at that time Fujimaru Kyoya may even be able to regain his human body.

Liao Chen and the Demon Sword Monk will become two independent individuals operating in this world, but this will not be without cost.

You understand that once those things leave, he will inherit your power and become a monstrous monster that wreaks havoc without restraint, while you yourself will need countless years to regain your power.

You cannot allow a demon to appear in this world just so you can attain Buddhahood.

Miyamoto Musashi may have meant well by cutting off Fujimaru Kyoya's karma with the sword of karma, and as for the demonic monk afterward, she will do her best to kill him.

However, Fujimaru Kyoya understood how terrifying a demonic swordsman dominated by killing could be. Even Miyamoto Musashi might die, so such casualties were unnecessary.

You continue your life in secrecy, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi seems to have given up on hunting you down; for him, the most important thing now is external aggression.

You watched the warship leave the harbor, but unfortunately, your current power was used to suppress demonic energy and convert the demonic sword; you simply didn't have the strength to stop it.

[You saw Miyamoto Musashi begin to act. She didn't forget her promise. When the war of aggression began, she immediately went to meet with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, hoping he would rescind his order. But how could such a thing be changed by a few words?]

Fujimaru Kyoya had to admit Miyamoto Musashi's strength, but killing Toyotomi Hideyoshi would be extremely difficult.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a master of barriers. The Night Castle and the Burning Buddha Prison were his masterpieces. Now, he has transformed his castle tower into a golden demon realm.

Fighting there was inherently disadvantageous to Miyamoto Musashi, not to mention that Tokugawa Ieyasu was nominally subservient to Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the time and had even sent his own child there as a hostage, so it was only reasonable for him to mobilize some of the enemy's forces.

Take, for example, the Yagyu father and son.

Caught between these two swordsmen, even Miyamoto Musashi had no choice but to retreat.

What should I do?

Fujimaru Kyoya began meditation again, but this time he didn't hope that gods or Buddhas could give him an answer; instead, he hoped to figure out an answer himself.

"Have you given up?"

It was another bodhisattva in a reversed position, and the other person still asked the same question they had asked at Honnoji Temple.

"I haven't given up, I'm just thinking about what to do."

There was no way around it; this was Fujimaru Kyoya's biggest problem. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea was just the beginning; he also wanted to bring the Ming Dynasty and India under his control.

Who gave him the courage? Fish Leong?

Fujimaru Kyoya really couldn't understand what Japan, which was just over the war, had the resources to launch a war against another country, especially against a country like the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty is not as powerful as before and is somewhat lagging behind, it is not something that Japan can easily provoke.

Fujimaru Kyoya had considered exploring the matter further, but this Golden Demon Realm was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's most prized barrier, and Fujimaru Kyoya couldn't see anything within it very clearly.

It's not just that the barrier is powerful; the thing itself is something that is very difficult to detect.

This feeling of unease is truly unpleasant.

……

Kyoto, below the castle tower.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi entered an underground space that only he was allowed to access. Even his wife and children were not permitted to approach it, because it held the secret to his swift conquest of the world.

"Monkey, things have changed drastically since then, and this is not what we agreed upon."

Now that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the Regent of the country, the de facto ruler of the nation, who can speak to him in such a tone now?

"Destroy Buddhism? My friend, why are you so spineless?"

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated Akechi Mitsuhide and retrieved Oda Nobunaga's body, he discovered the remaining demonic will within it, specifically the will of Mara.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi made a pact with him, in which Mara would lend him the power to unify the world, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi would help him destroy all Buddhist temples in Japan.

After all, Oda Nobunaga's body was no longer usable, and Mara had no suitable body, so he could only use Toyotomi Hideyoshi to destroy Buddhism and kill that damned monk in the process.

We can definitely kill him. That guy has been scorched by karmic fire for so long that he can't use "Heavenly Eye" and "Divine Foot" for long. As long as we launch a large-scale manhunt, we will definitely find him and kill him.

Mara's hatred for Buddhism never diminished from beginning to end.

However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not think so. Buddhism was still a very influential religion in Japan. Now that the country was barely at peace, to suppress Buddhism was like a dung beetle learning to parachute—what audacity!

However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not ignore Mara's demands and had to find a way to continue to get the other party to lend him power.

"The Buddhist sects in China are just branches that came from the Tang Dynasty, and the birthplace of Buddhism is India. What's the point of destroying these small sects? If we're going to do something, we should do something big."

"Doing something big?"

Clearly, the phrase "doing something big" was stirring up Bóxūn's nerves.

The Buddhist group of slayers kept saying that their demons were doomed. It wasn't that Mara didn't want to kill everyone; wasn't he targeting Shakyamuni during that period?

As a result, he was given a severe beating by Shakyamuni.

Do you know how much damage a powerful attack can do to the Sixth Heaven Demon King?

Now that there's another big job to be done, how could Mara miss such an opportunity?

“Explain in detail.”

"Korea is just a stepping stone. Starting from there, we will annex the Ming Dynasty and then march on India. We'll go clubbing at the grave of Buddha."

Dancing on a grave?

Even Mara, in that instant, felt that when a person doesn't act like a human being, they truly aren't human.

but……

"That's an interesting idea. Well then, let's do it your way. And how's the preparation for my new body going?"

"It will be soon. Our army is currently facing resistance in Korea. Once your body is completed, the Ming Dynasty army will be yours to deal with."

That's right, this was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's true trump card.

Since he was able to seize this world, how could he not know the strength of the Ming Dynasty? But even the mighty Ming Dynasty would be no match for this Sixth Heaven Demon King.

Chapter 107 Are you kidding me? I'm going to throw up.jpg

Ginger is still old and spicy.

Although Miyamoto Musashi knew that Fujimaru Kyoya was not much older than her, her insight was indeed quite unique.

Whether it was the fall of Oda Nobunaga or the invasion of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Fujimaru Kyouya had foreseen it all, so it was time for her to fulfill her promise.

"Gentlemen, is this how the Yagyu family uses the Living Man Sword?"

Miyamoto Musashi looked at the enemy before her. She had learned the swordsmanship of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu school. They shouldn't have been so hostile to each other upon meeting, but now they had no choice but to fight each other.

"The Living Sword is not meant to kill, but to protect itself. I'm truly sorry."

Yagyu Muneyoshi never expected that after fighting Fujimaru Kyoya, he would now have to face Miyamoto Musashi.

Although the Yagyu family were samurai serving the Tokugawa family, the world now belonged to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. To avoid becoming enemies with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu was willing to send his own children as hostages, let alone lend out the Yagyu father and son.
