From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

But the noise made Upper Moon Six stop and turn to look at where the two women were.

"Okay, so you really are a 'ghost,' deliberately making a commotion to attract those six people, right?" Zhao Yingkong didn't shy away from stirring things up and "slandered" Nezuko.

The latter blushed, knowing full well that Zhao Yingkong was doing it on purpose, but what she said was also true.

It was indeed his own lack of composure that drew the attention of the six ghost generals. For a moment, he was at a loss for words. He could only draw the precious sword from his waist, leap into the air, and his figure appeared before Upper Moon One like a ghost, drawing a purple streak straight for the opponent's neck.

However, Upper Moon One instantly retreated a distance, dodging the attack. At the same time, he drew a strange long sword, twisted his arms, and the blade spun, forming a whirlwind that surged towards Nezuko from all directions.

This sword is none other than the demon sword Hirumaru.

After the four Corpse Ancestors "resurrected" and wreaked havoc, nearly wiping out the ninja of Mount Hiei, the Demon Lord, before he could even display his power, had already been beheaded by the surrendered minister...

This cursed sword was naturally kept by the Japanese, and eventually fell into Muzan's hands, where it was assigned to Upper Moon One, the strongest warrior.

[So strong!]

Nezuko was startled, realizing that Upper Moon One's strength far surpassed her own. Not daring to confront him head-on, she twisted her waist and spun the sword in her hand. A flame-like radiance emerged from the blade, which spun at an extremely high speed, forming a fiery tornado, desperately resisting the wind blades from all directions.

This move, called "Bone-Scorching Sun," uses a high-speed spinning slash to confuse the enemy and then deliver a fatal blow.

Nezuko used it for defense, and it was extremely effective.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingkong felt a certain respect for the girl. With a whoosh, she leaped behind Upper Moon One, raised her hand, and with a gentle wave, unleashed an invisible burst of energy that instantly obliterated the girl's upper body, shattering the demon sword in her hand in a flash.

Hirumaru, the Demon Sword?

It's just a piece of rusty iron!

Furthermore, the aftershocks of Zhao Yingkong's attack did not diminish, affecting the Upper Moon Two, Upper Moon Three, and Upper Moon Four who were unable to react in time, completely killing them and turning them into a sky full of blood mist.

"Ignore them! Come back!"

Upper Moon Five and Upper Moon Six received Muzan's mental message, exchanged a glance, and then turned and ran.

"Can you escape?"

Zhao Yingkong sneered and casually flicked her wrist, unleashing a pink slash that caused the air to explode, space to distort, and houses along the way to shatter.

boom!

The moment the two people were hit, an explosion occurred, and the invisible shockwave leveled all the buildings within a radius of 100 meters.

But Zhao Yingkong frowned, pressed down with her hand, and her Qi surged, dispersing the smoke and dust, revealing the being that had blocked the fatal blow for Upper Moon Five and Upper Moon Six.

Zhao Zhuikong.

Besides him, there was a boy with dark red hair, dark red eyes, dressed like a Japanese samurai, and a scar on his forehead who followed him.

"elder brother!"

Upon seeing the boy, Nezuko couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Simply because he was her brother—

Kamado Tanjiro.

Upon seeing his sister, Tanjiro's eyes lit up with joy, but noticing Zhao Zhuikong's glance out of the corner of his eye, he immediately regained his composure. Remembering Nezuko's "betrayal" in choosing to follow Muzan and the deaths of all her companions, he shouted in a forceful, commanding tone, "Nezuko! I will surely destroy you! I will free you!"

Upon hearing this, Nezuko paused, realizing that her brother had misunderstood her. Just as she was about to explain, Zhao Yingkong interrupted her, saying, "We can catch up later."

Her gaze fell on Zhao Zhuikong, noticing the three tomoe in his eyes, and she asked, "You actually exchanged for a bloodline too?"

"The Uchiha bloodline is a good thing, my dear sister." Zhao Zhuikong said with a playful expression, but his Sharingan with three tomoe was fixed on Zhao Yingkong's face, trying to see the shadow of the Zhao Yingkong in his memory from her expression.

But unfortunately!

Aside from his appearance, he was a complete stranger!

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor gradually disappear, replaced by barely concealed anger, Zhao Yingkong remained calm, her tone low and brooding: "To be honest, I really don't want to fight you."

But for you, death might be the only relief...

If only my cultivation could reach Master's level, perhaps I could help you gain a new life.

"Master?"

Zhao Zhuikong suddenly burst into laughter, then stopped abruptly. "Hehe, you're nothing but a mere alternate personality that has usurped someone else's place, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly!"

And the river—

"As long as I kill him and gain 30% access to the Main God Space, I can bring the real Zhao Yingkong back! Even my fallen comrades might be fully resurrected!"

At this point, Zhao Zhuikong paused for a moment before continuing, "You are her alternate personality, and you also know those past memories. If you want to resurrect your former companion, we can cooperate and plot to kill Jiang Liu together."

As for Taiyi and Daluo, Zhao Zhuikong didn't believe it at all. As long as they were carbon-based life forms, it was impossible for them to be immortal!

But Zhao Yingkong's eyes narrowed, and she pulled out a staff. The middle part was made of black iron, and the two ends were adorned with golden hoops. Its design was exactly the same as Jiang Liu's Ruyi Jingu Bang (the Ruyi Golden Cudgel). Moreover, a line of words was engraved on the section next to the golden hoops: "Ruyi Jingu Bang" (Iron Staff of the Will).

It wasn't the one from the Six-Eared Macaque, but a staff that Zhao Yingkong exchanged from the Main God Space based on the shape of Jiang Liu's Divine Iron Staff. With her constant nurturing and battles, its grade had reached the S-level defined by the Main God Space, making it comparable to Jiang Liu's Ruyi Jingu Bang before it was fused with the Divine Seal.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Seeing Zhao Ying take a step forward, the iron rod in her hand burst into a thousand feet of pink light, proving her attitude with her actions as it swung towards her head, Zhao Zhuikong's heart sank, and she quickly put an earring on her right ear.

"Ok?"

Zhao Yingkong suddenly accelerated, but was still a step too slow. Zhao Zhuikong's figure flew quickly to the right, and there was another Zhao Zhuikong in that area.

hum-

The chests of the two Zhao Zhuikongs collided, giving birth to an incomparably dazzling white light, and then a brand new Zhao Zhuikong was born from it.

Potara, the fusion earring from Dragon Ball Z.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Yingkong's eyes. "You two have been cooperating to kill me for a long time... Perfect, this will free you both from your suffering in one go. I will carry the expectations and beliefs of you and your former comrades and live on well!"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Zhuikong roared, and a violent aura surged from all the orifices of his body, causing the entire capital city of Xinjing to tremble slightly.

This moment—

Zhao Yingkong VS Zhao Zhuikong!

Nezuko VS Tanjiro!

The battle between the two pairs of siblings has officially begun!

Chapter 1369 The Final Battle (Part 5) What is Emptiness?

On the broken streets.

Zhao Yingkong held the Free Will Iron Rod. With a single movement, she seemed to traverse space, accompanied by the flowing light of cherry blossoms, and twisted space with a single blow.

Zhao Zhui flicked his wrist, and a sword nearly two meters long appeared in his hand. With a sweeping motion, he drew a silver crescent and clashed with the staff.

boom!

The moment the two divine weapons collided, the earth trembled, waves of energy surged, and the entire new capital city was shattered in an instant, with the shockwave continuing to spread outwards.

If someone could look down from space, they would notice that the entire Eurasian continent is trembling at an extremely slight amplitude.

“Control your strength, Sakura.”

Jiang Liu's figure appeared out of thin air on a cliff that had grown out of the ground due to the collision between the two, holding Nezuko in his left hand and Tanjiro in his right.

"Jiang Liu!"

Upon seeing the culprit who had allowed Zhao Yingkong's alter ego to take over, Zhao Zhuikong's eyes widened in fury. He abandoned Zhao Yingkong, roared, and a chilling aura surged from his body, with energy like that of a supernova erupting from every orifice of his body.

In an instant.

The energy transformed into dark bones, which then grew flesh and blood, and were clad in armor resembling that of Japan's Warring States period, reaching a height of over a kilometer.

Susanoo!

Complete body!

Within the diamond-shaped energy gem at the center of his brow, Zhao Zhuikong's Mangekyou Sharingan, like a windmill, spun rapidly, transforming into a pair of scarlet concentric circles, each containing nine tomoe.

"Go to hell!"

With the light of his mind bursting forth, under Zhao Zhuikong's command, the Susanoo, which was about a thousand meters tall, showed no signs of cumbersomeness. In an instant, it traversed space and, disregarding the fact that his teammate Tanjiro was also beside Jiang Liu, slashed down with his sword.

Tanjiro and Nezuko were already stunned.

Such power—

They are no different from gods.

Faced with this move, Jiang Liu yawned but did not intend to dodge, otherwise the Eurasian continent would be shattered.

He stretched out a hand, which, compared to the mountain-like blade, was like a firefly compared to the moon. Yet, it was precisely this hand, which was as small as a mustard seed compared to the katana, that smoothed out the folds in space.

Wave!

A ripple spread through the space, and the Susanoo, which was about a thousand meters tall, instantly shrank to the size of a fingernail and fell into Jiang Liu's control.

Gather the five elements!

I am the Tathagata!

This so-called Susanoo may seem impressive, but it is far removed from the Golden Elixir cultivation path that embodies the formless unity of heaven and man, such as the Dharma of Heaven and Earth. It is also vastly different from the Holy Embryo cultivation method that emphasizes the formlessness of Dharma and the enlightenment of one's true nature, such as the Dharma of Heaven and Earth. It is merely an outer shell constructed from energy.

How can they escape Jiang Liu's grasp?

Located in the palm of his hand, Zhao Zhuikong looked up and felt as if he saw a giant as vast as the stars in the universe. The moment those eyes fell upon him, an invisible force descended, disintegrating his complete Susanoo inch by inch, and his mind went completely blank.

With just one glance, a deluge of information flooded his mind, causing him to instantly freeze...

···

"What kind of technique is that? A Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand?"

Not far away, Haotian's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even he couldn't handle Zhao Zhuikong's Susanoo, which was infused with the light of the soul. Jiang Liu actually grabbed it in his palm and shattered it with just a glance!

Is this Taiyi?

"I don't know."

Qi Tengyi was also dumbfounded, but he quickly came to his senses. "But I can be sure that Brother Jiang's realm is no different from that of the legendary immortals, Buddhas, and saints."

He could annihilate all reincarnated beings in the blink of an eye if he so desired.
