Morikawa Yu subconsciously looked at the Mikazuki sword he was holding in his left hand, only to find that the sword was covered in white light.

These rays of light emerged from the blade, circled around it, and drifted toward his wrist and body, finally coalescing into a humanoid figure beside him.

She was a beautiful young woman wearing a black kimono, with waist-length hair, gentle and bright eyes, and delicate features, yet she was serious and unsmiling.

She stood beside him, looking at him with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Has Mikazuki taken human form?

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing what had happened.

The last of the two beloved swords he had longed for, Mikazuki Munechika, has taken human form.

However, this is not a good time to transform.

Although Mikazuki's sudden transformation surprised him somewhat, Kashima was about to unleash a strike that surpassed the level of a sword saint, and he was also racking his brains about how to catch it.

Morikawa Yu wanted to ask Mikazuki why he had transformed into human form at this time.

However, asking her in such an emergency is not a good option.

He looked at the crescent moon.

Mikazuki was also looking at him.

She raised her arm, the sleeve of her black haori kimono slipping off her hand to reveal her fair wrist, and extended her hand to him.

Just as he had imagined, she was a dignified, beautiful, and gentle young woman after transforming into human form.

At the time, he thought that Tsurumaru and Mikazuki would become beautiful sword girls. Tsurumaru would be a lively and quirky beautiful girl after her transformation, while Mikazuki would be more like an elegant and gentle noble lady.

His initial feeling was indeed correct.

Tsurumaru has indeed become a lively and beautiful girl.

Although Tsurumaru's personality is a bit too lively, that's actually a good thing. He enjoys taking advantage of Tsurumaru, and Tsurumaru doesn't mind letting his master take advantage of him.

Now Mikazuki has also transformed. Although she is not as beautiful as Tsurumaru, and not as eye-catching as Tsurumaru at first glance, she is still very beautiful and very pleasing to the eye. The more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes.

Like the clear moon in the night sky, it doesn't seem like anything special at first glance.

But when you look back and see her again, she is still waiting for you gently and patiently. The more you look at her, the more you realize her beauty, and you wish you could stay immersed in her beauty forever.

"Mikazuki?" Morikawa Yu asked tentatively.

"It's me, Master."

The girl nodded.

She stared at Kashima Island in the distance, her brows furrowed slightly with worry, and then raised her hand again, reaching out to him.

"Master, please hold my hand."

Morikawa Yu was taken aback, not understanding what she wanted to do. Moreover, Mikazuki's transformation was similar to Tsurumaru's, using the blade as his dwelling place and existing alone as his own form.

He held Tsurumaru in one hand and the blade of Mikazuki in the other, neither hand was free.

Mikazuki looked at him, and also at the blade of the sword Mikazuki Munechika held in his hand.

She approached Morikawa Yu, grasped his left hand, and together they held the blade of her sword, Mikazuki Munechika, a white light emanating from their hands.

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu seemed to hear Tsurumaru grunt in dissatisfaction.

Tsurumaru was currently inside his goshuin-cho (temple).

Because the sword maiden leaves the sword body after taking human form, simply using the sword body as her dwelling, and can even use her own sword body or condense a sword body phantom for battle, she usually stays in Morikawa Yu's Goshuincho space.

She didn't show herself just now, but stayed in the Imperial Vermilion Seal Space with Xin Jue and Da Yu Wan, guarding Hai Ruo Shen Zhu and Wu He together.

She was startled when Mikazuki suddenly transformed into human form, and only then did she realize what was happening, and she was somewhat unhappy.

The swordswoman named Mikazuki looked at Morikawa Yu's chest, as if she could see Tsurumaru inside through space: "Tsurumaru, I don't usually argue with you, but now only I can help my master, so don't come out and cause trouble."

Tsurumaru: "Hmph."

Morikawa Yu clearly heard Tsurumaru snort in dissatisfaction, but she only snorted and did not come out of the Goshuincho space.

It's likely that she and Mikazuki had already reached some kind of agreement.

After all, he had always kept them together, and the two knives had spent more time together than he, their master, had spent with them.

So now that Mikazuki has spoken, although she is dissatisfied with Mikazuki, she has not actually shown herself.

Chapter 621 Chao Wen Dao

However, none of that matters. What matters is that he is about to face Kashima's terrifying aura, which has even reached a higher level.

If he can't withstand this blow, the consequences will likely be dire.

Morikawa Yu thought to herself, looking at Mikazuki standing beside her, wondering how she planned to help her.

Mikazuki remained silent, pressing her palm against the back of his hand, and together they gripped the blade of her sword. Mikazuki Munechika gathered white light in his hand, enveloping them both in a white glow.

Although these white lights were not particularly noticeable, they had a very resilient feel to them and gave him a cool sensation, making his mind much clearer and calmer.

Morikawa Yu immediately understood.

Compared to Tsurumaru's aggressive power, Mikazuki's power is more suited to protection.

So she decided to transform into human form at this moment and appear by his side to help him.

Morikawa Yu smiled at Mikazuki.

He didn't know how much she could help him, but even just seeing her willingness to stay with him during this crisis and face danger together made him feel very grateful and at ease.

If she hadn't appeared, he would probably still be anxiously figuring out how to deal with the blow that Kashima was about to deliver.

But with Mikazuki by her side, Morikawa Yu finally knew what she should do.

He turned to look at Kashima, and together with Mikazuki, he held Mikazuki Munechika, activating the protective power on the sword. With his other hand, he held Tsurumaru horizontally, releasing his own wind force and demonic energy barrier.

Kashima is the sword demon god. No matter how powerful it becomes now, it is still that sword demon god, and it uses the swordsmanship it has cultivated throughout its life.

As long as it's swordsmanship, there's always a possibility of breaking through the opponent's moves.

Even if this move is so perfect that it is impossible to break, he still has to face it head-on, memorize it, and then find his own solution!

On the other side, Kashima held up a long sword, its blade crackling with lightning.

It looked at Morikawa Yu, and also noticed Mikazuki, who had transformed and appeared next to Morikawa Yu. Then it saw that Morikawa Yu's aura had changed, and it was almost exactly the same as the aura of Urabe Tomotaka when it first met him.

Looking at Morikawa Yu's figure, it was momentarily dazed, as if it saw Morikawa Yu's appearance overlap with the figure of the sword saint girl it was familiar with, raising her longsword towards it and showing it an expectant smile.

The smile seemed to say, "I'm watching you, Kashima. Come on, unleash this strike and let me see if you've understood what I said back then over the past four hundred years, and if you've seen the realm beyond the Sword Saint for me."

"Urabe... and Taro, please look at me, I'm about to fulfill your wishes."

It silently thought to itself.

Finally, it raised its longsword high, swung the blade, and slashed down in front of it with a thunderous roar.

Behind it, one after another, the dim and cracked divine halo quietly shattered and vanished.

These divine halos are manifestations of its demonic status, and they are all composed of its demonic power. It can be said that they are the source of its own power.

The moment it made up its mind and resolutely unleashed this strike, the divine halo finally dissipated.

It is no longer a ghost or god.

Perhaps it has shed its divinity, or perhaps it has reached a higher realm; in any case, it is no longer a ghost or god.

But it's not a person either.

It is a monster.

According to common sense, it would become a pure monster again after its divinity is destroyed, and its demonic power would transform into divine power and demonic power, and then become an existence like Inaba Tenshi and Karasu no Kami.

But that's not the case.

In severing its divinity and relinquishing its status as a demon or god, it also relinquished its own demonic and divine power, abandoning the possibility of reverting to a demon, and using all its power to improve its swordsmanship.

It is neither a ghost nor a god, nor a human, nor a monster now; only its own swordsmanship remains.

After it delivers the final blow that gathers all its power, it will dissipate and die, leaving nothing behind and having no chance of survival.

But so what?

If I can make this cut, I can fulfill my mentor's last wish. If I can make this cut, I will no longer have the regret that my dear friend felt when he died in front of it.

As long as one can unleash this strike, one can surpass the pinnacle of sword sainthood and reach a higher, stronger, and more expansive realm of swordsmanship.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

It unleashed its power, its sword intent surged, and its sword momentum surged forward, causing almost everything visible to the naked eye to vibrate and distort.

As the sword energy erupted, the lightning in the sky finally became even more dazzling, like real dragons soaring into the sky. The thick, city-like dark clouds shattered with a crash, and the sky trembled like a mirror until it broke apart.

No, it wasn't just the clouds and sky that shattered; the space of this historical realm also broke apart.

Cracks began to appear in the space of the domain, revealing another layer of gray-white space outside the domain.

Morikawa Yu stared intently at her surroundings, also looking at Kashima not far away.

He had prepared himself fully to receive Kashima's strike, but to his surprise, Kashima's blade did not come at him, but instead simply slashed down in front of him.

It was as if all the regrets in its heart were right in front of it, and its slash was just an empty blow right in front of it.

Even so, the power of this strike was far beyond his imagination. The aftershock of the sword shattered his wind barrier and demonic energy barrier. He only managed to stabilize himself thanks to Mikazuki's protective power.

Not far in front of Kashima, everything disappeared.

Even the sky directly above was dissipating.

The space of history has been broken.

Kashima's strike actually severed the historical domain formed by the power of the "past," revealing the first layer of domain space beneath the historical domain.

That space is the foundation of this realm, created by Morikawa Yu's "past" power and Hanami Yuki's shadow of power obtained from the priestess.

It has two layers of space: one is the real space, and the other is the historical space.

The historical realm will only dissipate and reveal the real space beneath it if either Morikawa Yu or Hanami Yuki's consciousness projection is destroyed.

However, it has now broken open.

It broke open without either Morikawa Yu or Hanami Yuki's consciousness projection being shattered.

The historical realm began to dissipate, gradually revealing the original first layer of space.

But this is not accidental, but inevitable.

When Kashima's decisive move is complete, the realm of history will inevitably be cleaved by it.

Because Kashima's strike had already surpassed the pinnacle of sword sainthood, reaching an even higher level.

If the God Lord and the Demon of the Divine Age create their own domains through rules and power, then this strike is a pure act of violence that annihilates all rules and destroys the domains.

The historical domain that formed the power could not withstand this blow and finally began to dissipate.

He saw space begin to break apart, time flow by, and the landscape of history begin to change, accelerating ever since.

First, Sakurada Ichiro, who was watching their battle from the foot of the distant mountains and waiting for them, ran up the mountain as if searching for them, but he couldn't see them. Disappointed, he left and searched higher up the mountain.

Then time started to fly by.

Sakurada Ichiro did not find them, but a dozen days later he encountered Kashima, a demon from this era who had returned to Mount Izumo.

He told Kashima of this era about Morikawa Yu and the others, but Kashima didn't believe him and told him to go back and learn his own swordsmanship well, and not to think about giving up his swordsmanship and switching to other styles of swordsmanship.

History has finally returned to normal.

After his conversation with Kashima, Sakurada Ichiro returned to Izumo, where he diligently honed his swordsmanship and eventually defeated his master, becoming the strongest swordsman in Izumo.

He saw that more than ten years later, Sakurada Ichiro, now married and established, would return to the Izumo Mountains at this time to search for Kashima, only to be rejected by Kashima once again.

And the demon goddess Izumo of this era finally appears.

She left her realm of demonic power and appeared on the mountaintop.

She was on her way to Izumo Taisha Shrine when she ran into Kashima and Sakurada Ichiro. After hearing what had happened, she asked Kashima to teach Sakurada swordsmanship, and then she left the Izumo Mountains and went to Izumo Taisha Shrine.

As time passed, Sakurada Ichiro and Kashima became close friends and trained in swordsmanship together.

When Sakurada Ichiro grew old, he challenged Kashima to a life-or-death battle, risking everything, but Sakurada Ichiro never came to Mount Izumo.

Kashima sensed something was wrong and wanted to go to Hanami's house, but instead of going to the mountaintop to find Shinori, who lived in the realm of demonic power, he left without saying goodbye and went to Hanami's house alone to find Sakurada Ichiro. He saw Sakurada Ichiro for the last time and witnessed him die with regret.
