I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

In just a few seconds, the two of them scurried back to safety, relying solely on their inner feelings to sense what Uesugi Tetsuya was about to do.

Uesugi Tetsuya didn't hold back, connecting all his senses to the heartstrings.

Then, a drop of pure liquid spiritual energy passed through the membrane of the Zhou Tian Flame Armor and fell into the core of the Myriad Spirits Furnace.

pat.

A voice that doesn't exist was heard.

Thus, fusion was born.

A silent roar, comparable to the detonation of a nuclear bomb, exploded inside Uesugi Tetsuya's skull, filling all his senses.

Having lost all five senses, only the eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon continue to watch dutifully.

Rumble!

The ground trembled, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was directly stirred into a chaotic mess, so disordered that ordinary Yin-Yang Masters and demons could not absorb it at all.

A bright blue light shone from the fingertip of Uesugi Tetsuya's right hand, and then expanded, expanded, and expanded again in the time it took him to control it.

Before the cracked fingertips, a deep blue glow surged toward the continuous mountain range directly in front.

Vanished in an instant.

In the vision of the Hundred-Eyed Demon's Eye, a huge, empty hole with perfectly smooth edges had appeared in the center of the mountain, which was tens of meters high!

With a splitting headache and blood gushing from his body, Uesugi Tetsuya looked up and saw the moon rising on the horizon through the hole.

With the force of a single finger, it pierced through the entire mountain, which was hundreds of meters high!

In my heartstrings, the screams and exclamations of the two little ones rose and fell.

In an instant, Uesugi Tetsuya felt his headache and body pain disappear. He felt clear-headed and extremely relaxed!

Just injecting such a small amount of spiritual energy into it can achieve this effect...

Uesugi Tetsu examined the core of the Myriad Spirits Furnace again and found that it had not changed at all. Even if the same amount of spiritual power was put in, it would still give the same answer.

The key is whether you can stabilize the furnace core every time it's firing, and whether your body can withstand the transmission of terrifying power.

"good very good."

Uesugi Tetsu didn't say much, but continued to inject different doses of spiritual power into the core of the Myriad Spirits Furnace again and again.

Bold and unrestrained.

As I said before—in this world, Uesugi is fearless of death!

Several hours later.

Having been transformed into coke once, Uesugi Tetsu stared at the tiny arcs of electricity flickering in the center of the furnace core and let out a heavy sigh.

[You have implanted the Yin-Yang Technique - Five Thunder Method into the core of the Myriad Spirits Furnace!]

[Currently available engraving slots: 0/2 (Zhou Tian Yan Jia - Beginner, Five Thunder Technique - Expert)]

It took a full ten hours and a life to finally throw the Five Thunder Technique into it.

Even though Uesugi Tetsu had already figured out the daily operation of the Myriad Spirits Furnace Core at the cost of the disappearance of the surrounding mountains, the process of imprinting the Five Thunder Technique was still dangerous.

If it weren't for the furnace core being encased in the Zhou Tian Flame Armor to increase stability, and the double assistance of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Eye and the Spirit Control Technique, this life would probably still be electrocuted into charcoal.

"But now..."

In the darkness of the inner vision, the purplish-black furnace core whirred silently.

Satisfied, Uesugi Tetsu left Kisaragi Station and opened his eyes again in the damp thatched hut of Edo Castle.

"Mmm, this familiar smell, I haven't smelled it in so long..."

Uesugi Tetsu took a deep breath and listened to the continuous sound of rain between heaven and earth.

Laughed.

With his hands in his pockets, he kicked the creaking old wooden door, which had apparently been reinstalled by someone, into splinters and walked into the rain.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up, and the thick, dark clouds, as heavy as a city, were reflected in the flames.

"This rain just won't stop."

As the unpleasant words fell, a crimson pillar of spiritual energy, imbued with a hint of the power of the Flame Armor, shot straight into the sky.

Then, it exploded with a deafening roar.

In an instant, the dark clouds over Edo Castle, along with the raindrops still floating in the air, were swept away and vanished into nothingness.

A wisp of light appeared, landing on the muddy roads of Edo Castle after a long absence.

"That's not bad."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded in satisfaction, enduring the excruciating pain tearing through his body, and looked toward the two fierce-looking men at the end of the road, their arms around each other, staring blankly upwards.

Two acquaintances whom he had already sensed but was unaware of.

Skeletons and wax figures.

"Long time no see, you two."

Two pairs of surprised and uncertain gazes shot over, and Uesugi Tetsuya revealed a kind smile.

"Have you forgotten me?"

Chapter 318 Permanent Summoning Item, the Evil Intent of the Wax Figure! At the end of the road, the nonchalant Fang Xiangshi...

"Pretend to be a ghost."

The burly man with a katana at his waist and a chonmage hairstyle glanced at the sky, then at Uesugi Tetsuya, who exuded no dangerous aura, and spat on the muddy ground with a cold smile.

It was the same skeleton who had once passed by Uesugi Tetsuya and casually beheaded him with a single stroke.

"If that kid was the one who made all that commotion, I'd write his name backwards a hundred times over!"

"Don't be careless, White Bones."

The burly man with a braided hairstyle and a pair of signature white eyes withdrew his hand and pulled out a naginata more than two meters long from somewhere, which he then slung over his shoulder.

He spat out the straw he was holding in his mouth.

"If I'm not mistaken, he was the one who made the rain stop."

"Hey, hey, hey... are you seeing things? Are you seeing things?"

White Bone waved his hand dismissively and strode towards Uesugi Tetsu, who was a hundred meters away: "Only the leader of the demons could pull off something like that."

As he spoke, he examined Uesugi Tetsuya's exposed skin again, finding no calluses.

"This kid has such delicate skin, he's probably some rich kid who fled from somewhere! Heh, he's already scared out of his wits... I love playing with these kinds of young masters and ladies the most..."

"White bones! I told you not to be careless and get so close..."

The wax figure cried out, only to find that it could no longer hold back the grinning skeleton.

These skeletons... usually act like tyrants, but if they really run into a tough opponent, they turn around and run away without saying a word.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so few people in Edo Castle he could talk to and have fun with, he wouldn't bother associating with such a scoundrel.

He clicked his tongue in displeasure and stared intently at the wax figure of Uesugi Tetsu, whose eyes were calm and whose face was full of smiles, as it followed behind him.

—This kid is definitely not a ghost or god.

But his demeanor is perhaps a little too calm.

The wax figure walked and pondered.

—Anyway, the boss is in the city now. If the two of them are no match for him, they can join forces to hold out for a while and wait for reinforcements.

Don't be fooled by the wax figure's steel-like muscles and exquisite craftsmanship; it looks like the muscles are growing into its skull.

But he's a true intellectual.

Although they fight bloody battles every day, treating their lives like rubber balls, these wax figures know exactly when to fight to the death, when to kneel and beg for mercy, and when to turn around and run away.

In his words, it's like saying, "Who says the muscles in my brain can't think?"

Within ten seconds, the burly man wielding a katana and a naginata slowly approached Uesugi Tetsuya.

To this day, he remains motionless.

He just smiled and looked at the two men who had once beheaded him, sizing them up and down.

They are ten meters apart.

In the skeleton's perception, apart from having slightly thicker qi and blood, Uesugi Tetsuya in front of him was just an ordinary person.

The skeleton grinned happily and said cheerfully,

"Still putting on an act... I wonder if you'll still be able to keep this expression after I chop off your legs."

The wax figure remained silent, its pair of slanted, triangular white eyes narrowed into slits.

Although Uesugi Tetsuya was just as ordinary in his perception, the "strongman alarm" in his heart was already at full power and began to sound frantically.

Even the wax figure, which also had a blank expression, was almost unable to restrain itself from wielding a knife.

But in the end, two seconds later he suppressed the impulse, laughed heartily, stopped the skeleton with his hand, and then asked,

"My name is Wax Figure, and I am a ronin from Edo Castle and the surrounding area. May I ask your name, young man?"

Uesugi Tetsu stared at him calmly, without answering.

"Young man, what brings you to Edo Castle? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Uesugi Tetsu blinked, but still didn't speak.

The wax figure wanted to test the waters further, but was impatiently interrupted by the skeleton.

"Don't ask anymore, it's a wax figure."

Swish.

The katana was drawn, and the skeleton, with a ferocious smile, casually twirled the blade.

"This kid won't open his mouth unless he suffers a bit."

The wax figure frowned: "Don't kill him."

The skeleton strode around, stomping mud everywhere, chuckling to himself.

"I won't kill this kind of cargo so easily. Putting aside everything else... making weaklings cry for help is what I'm best at."

pat.

Straw sandals fell into the mud, and the skeleton stopped in front of Uesugi Tetsuya. A sinister, triangular eye loomed before him, its gaze filled with a brutal killing intent and mockery.

"Boy, is there anything you want to say before you die?"

Uesugi Tetsu remained calm, his eyes not even flickering.

This overly calm reaction made the skeleton, who hadn't seen the scene he wanted, extremely unhappy.

"It's almost time."

"Uesugi Tetsuya suddenly said."

"Time? What time?" The skeleton raised a thick eyebrow, his right arm gripping the katana blurring into a blur. "I know, it's the time to die—"

clang!

The crisp sound of metal clashing was like a violent gust of wind sweeping past the bones.

His knife was being stopped by another blade with a clean, sharp edge.

No advance.

But Uesugi Tetsuya still didn't move.

—What moved was the katana at his waist!

The skeleton and the wax figure, noticing this, simultaneously changed their expressions, one becoming greedy and the other shining.

That katana is alive!

Kaga Kiyomitsu trembled slightly from the sting of the gaze, causing the blade of the skeleton to press down even closer, pressing precisely against the protective shield of the circulating qi.

"No wonder you had the nerve to treat me like that, so you were carrying such a treasure..."
