Chapter 238 Blue Blossom

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Amid the continuous sonic booms, the sword energy was completely shattered. Kokushibo's six eyes shrank at the same time, and an incomprehensible feeling surged into his heart.

He could sense that there was something blocking Dio, but his eyes could not capture any entity.

"What is this?" Kokushibo tightly grasped the Hollow Knife, and the blades all over his body began to vibrate. "Is this an invisible force?"

Dio stepped on the ground, and it instantly cracked. He rushed towards Kokushibo like a cannonball.

"kill!"

Kokushibo's six eyes lit up at the same time, and his sword drew a perfect arc in the air.

"Breathing of the Moon·Type 16·Moon Rainbow·Crescent Moon!"

The blade light turned into a blood moon, and the sword energy poured down like the Milky Way. The air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

“THE WORLD!!!”

Dio roared, and time froze at this moment.

The flying debris stopped in mid-air, and even the dust in the air was still. The sword energy solidified less than a meter away from Dio.

Dio's figure traveled through the still time and appeared behind Kokushibo in the blink of an eye.

"Although it's only one second, it's enough for me, Dio!" A fanatical light flashed in Dio's eyes.

The golden substitute appeared instantly, and his fists bombarded Kokushibo's body like a rainstorm. Each punch hit the vital part, and the punches were so fast that only countless golden afterimages could be seen.

"Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da!"

Countless dents were made on Kokushibo's body, and the sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.

"Time begins to flow!" Dio shouted.

The moment the world started turning again, all the damage exploded at the same time.

"boom!"

Kokushibo's body was like being hit by an invisible giant hammer, and he fell forward. Large amounts of blood spurted out, drawing arcs of blood in the air.

He flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and hit the wall in the distance heavily.

Countless bone spurs pierced out of his body, trying to stabilize his broken body, but the damage was too severe, and even his proud recovery ability was unable to repair it in time.

"How is this possible?" A hint of shock flashed in Kokushiboroku's eyes.

He had never felt this powerless since the death of Jiguo Yuan. A long-lost sense of fear surged in his heart.

"This is the power of the Stand!" Dio laughed wildly, "In front of me, Dio, your Moon Breathing is nothing but a trick!"

Tanjiro and Gyomei Hieijima witnessed all this from a distance and were so shocked that they were speechless.

Beimingyu Xingming was the first to react. He swung his right hand violently, and the meteor hammer, accompanied by a whistling wind, smashed towards Dio.

"Breath of Rock·One Type·Serpentinite·Bipolar!"

The huge iron ball cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. But just as the meteor hammer was about to hit, Dio's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Dio appeared next to the meteor hammer and grabbed the chain with his hand.

"What?!" Beimingyu Xingming's expression changed drastically.

Dio yanked the chain with his right hand. The sudden force caused Beimingyu Xingming to completely lose his balance and fly forward uncontrollably.

At this moment, a flash of fire came from the side, and Tanjiro had already approached without knowing when.

"Breathing of the Sun, Form Three, Blazing Red Mirror!"

Tanjiro's Nichirin Sword cut through the air, flames exploded on the blade, and turned into a scarlet streak.

"Too weak!" Dio laughed wildly, "With your attack of this level, do you think you can hurt me, Dio?"

A golden world instantly appeared in front of Dio. With a wave of his right hand, he easily pushed aside Tanjiro's blade.

Before Tanjiro could put away his sword or change his moves, Sekai's left fist had already hit his abdomen.

"boom!"

There was a dull thud, and the world's fist pierced Tanjiro's abdomen like a cannonball.

Blood splattered and the sound of internal organs breaking was clearly audible. Tanjiro's body instantly bent into a bow shape and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"cough!"

Large mouthfuls of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person flew backwards like a cannonball, rolling a long way on the ground before stopping.

"Tanjiro!"

Beimingyu Xingming roared angrily. He clenched his weapons with both hands, and the muscles of his whole body instantly tensed, and the blue mark on his forehead became clearer.

"Dior!"

Although Beimingyu Xingming was blind, his aura surged at this moment, and his murderous intent almost became material.

"I'm going to crush you to pieces!"

Beimingyu Xingming roared angrily, he tightly grasped the broad axe in his right hand and stomped his foot hard.

"Rock Breathing, Seventh Form, Rock Fracture!"

The broad axe drew a sharp arc in the air, slashing towards Dio with terrifying momentum, and the axe blade made a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.
The power this time exceeds all previous attacks.

"Your anger is great!" Dio raised a cruel smile, "But, it's too slow! THE WORLD!"

Time stopped again. Beimingyu Xingming's figure remained still in mid-air.

The chain in Dio's left hand suddenly rioted.

Under the control of the world, the chains wound around Sorrow Island Xingming like a spirit snake. The tough steel chains wrapped around him several times, binding him tightly.

"Time starts to flow!"

"What?!" Beimingyu Xingming's face suddenly changed.

He suddenly felt his whole body being tightly wrapped by something, and before he could react, a huge force came from the chains.

"Crack!"

With the crisp sound of bones breaking, Beimingyu Xingming's body was directly cut into two pieces by the chains.

Large amounts of blood gushed out, and internal organs and broken bones were scattered all over the ground.

“No, no!!” Tanjiro raised his head with difficulty. After seeing this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank and tears welled up in his eyes.

He supported himself with his hands and tried to stand up, but the wound in his abdomen almost made him faint before he could even move.

At this moment, Dio stood in front of him, with his arms outstretched in an exaggerated pose: "Immortal body, immortal and ageless!"

"Also, this unprecedented power of a stand!" A golden world emerged behind him, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

“WRYYYYY!” Dio screamed to the sky, “Nothing in this world can threaten me, Dio!”

At this moment, a violent murderous aura erupted from the ruins. Kokushibo's body rushed out from the rubble, and his six eyes glowed blood red.

"I am the dignified Upper Rank One," Kokushibo's voice was low and cold, "How can I stop here!"

"Zheng!"

The sharp sound of metal friction echoed throughout the underground palace.

The sword of Xu Ku Shen Qu drew a silver light in the air, and the eyeball on the blade opened at the same time: "Breath of the Moon, Form of Ten Six, Moon Rainbow Crescent Moon!"

Countless crescent-shaped sword energies whizzed out and intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable web of death.

"Useless, useless, useless, useless!" Dio laughed, and the world's fist blasted out like a rainstorm.

Each punch accurately shattered the sword energy, causing ripples in the air. "THE WORLD!"

In the moment when time stood still, Dio flashed in front of Kokushibo, and Sekai's right fist hit his chin hard, knocking him into the air.

"Time starts to flow!"

"boom!"

Kokushibo's body flew up directly under the huge force, and before he could adjust his posture in the air, countless fist shadows had covered his entire body.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

Amid the intensive sound of punches, Kokushibo's body was shattered by one punch after another.

Bones were broken, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and even the recovery ability that he was proud of was completely ineffective under this violent attack.

"Let me see." Dio looked up at the broken Kokushibo in mid-air, "What does the blood of the Upper Rank One taste like!"

The blood vessels all over Dio's body suddenly expanded and burst out of his body like living things.

The dense blood vessels split in the air, turning into countless tiny branches, tightly entangling every piece of Kokushibo's flesh and blood.

"No!" Kokushibo roared in reluctance, but it was too late. The blood vessels were wriggling, absorbing his flesh and blood bit by bit.

Every drop of blood was assimilated by Dio's cells and became part of his power.

The battlefield in the distance suddenly became quiet.

At this time, the surrounding smoke completely dissipated, and the moonlight poured down like water.

The Demon Slayer Corps members, other pillars, and even the Lower Moons sent by Muzan in the battle, all focused their attention on Dio.

The moonlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the broken dome of the underground palace. A silver beam of light shone directly on Dio.

Dio opened his arms, letting the moonlight shine on his perfect body. His muscular lines were like marble sculptures in the moonlight, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

He could clearly feel that his stand ability was evolving and the limit of time stopping was greatly extended.

Douma and Hantengu, who were far away, saw that the situation was not good and turned around and ran away without hesitation.

"Want to escape?"

Dio sneered, "In front of me, Dio, you don't even have the right to escape!"

He stomped the ground with his right foot and rushed out like lightning. In the instant when time stood still, Dio appeared in front of Douma.

“What’s going on?!” Douma’s eyes blurred, and by the time he reacted, Dio was already close to him.

"Blood demon technique·Mist ice·Water lily Bodhisattva!" Douma performed the blood demon technique without thinking.

In an instant, three huge ice and snow Bodhisattvas formed in the air and attacked Dio at the same time.

"Muda Muda Muda!" Dio let out his signature laugh.

A golden world instantly appeared in front of him, and his fists blasted out like a rainstorm.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The fists whistled and the three ice and snow Bodhisattvas were smashed to pieces in an instant.

Broken pieces of ice were flying in the air, and before the ice crystals reflecting the moonlight fell to the ground, the fist of the world had already hit Douma.

"This kind of power is impossible!" Douma's face changed drastically. Just as he was about to perform blood demon technique, the world's rain of fists poured down.

Amid the intensive sound of punches, Douma's body was torn into pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Dio's blood vessels burst out again, wrapping around Douma's fragments like hungry venomous snakes. The blood vessels squirmed, absorbing his flesh and blood bit by bit.

“THE WORLD!”

Dio shouted, and a golden world appeared in an instant. A violent rain of fists poured down like a storm, smashing Hantengou's body into pieces.

But just when the world's fist was about to completely crush Hantengu, a strange color flashed in Dio's eyes. There was something wrong with the touch of this body.

He suddenly jumped up, and the eyes of the world instantly locked around him. In the corner of the ruins, a figure the size of a mouse was fleeing in panic.

"I see." Dio sneered, "No wonder you were able to escape from me last time.

Dio instantly rushed to the side of the small figure.

The world's hand stretched out like lightning and grabbed the body that was only the size of a mouse.

Dio squeezed his right hand hard, and blood spurted out from between his fingers.

"Ahhh! Please let me go!" Bantiangou let out a sharp scream.

"Let you go!"

Dio sneered, and the fingertips of his right hand suddenly became sharp and pierced directly into Hantengou's head. Grafts extended from his fingertips and instantly controlled Hantengou's nerves.

"Tell me about Muzan! His weaknesses! His goals!"

"There is no infinite city." Hantengou spoke with difficulty in the severe pain, "The blue Bianhua in the different space. Perfect"

Before he could finish his words, Hantengou's body suddenly began to disintegrate. His skin began to crack, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of ashes that fell from Dio's fingers.

"Eliminated?" Dio's eyes narrowed. Even if his brain was controlled by him, Muzan could still remotely eliminate the upper ranks.

But these few words had already aroused his interest.

"Infinite City, another dimension. Blue Bana." Dio repeated these words in a low voice, "Is this your secret, Muzan?"

He turned around and glanced at the remaining members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"I'll give you a chance." Dio opened his arms, and his figure in the moonlight looked like a demon. "Submit to me, Dio, and I can grant you the power of eternal life."

"Stop joking!" Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu coughed up blood, but still stood straight. He slowly raised the Sun Blade, the tip of the blade pointing directly at Dio.

"Even if you kill us all." Shinobu Kocho raised her head, "The Demon Slayer Corps will never disappear! One day, someone will completely wipe out monsters like you!"

Kanroji Mitsuri gritted her teeth and said, "A new swordsman will grow up. Humans will never surrender, and there will always be someone who stands up to fight against monsters like you!"

The four pillars supported each other and stood in a row with difficulty.

They all had serious injuries, but their hands holding the swords did not move at all. The four sun blades gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

"Interesting." Dio's lips curled up into a cruel smile, "Then let me see how long your determination can last! WRYYYYY!"

"Since you have chosen death." A trace of cruelty flashed in Dio's eyes, "Then it will be as you wish! THE WORLD!"

At the moment when time stood still, Shijie bent down and picked up several scattered Sun Blades on the ground. The golden double casually weighed the blades and then swung them out.

The blade flew out in the still air and finally stopped in front of the four pillars, with the tip only a few centimeters away from their bodies.

“Time starts to flow!”

"puff!"

The four Sun Blades pierced through their bodies almost simultaneously, blood splattered, and they fell to the ground at the same time.

Dio walked slowly to the corpse, and the blood vessels in his right hand suddenly burst, and blood dripped onto the four people.

"Now, are you willing to submit to me?" Dio's voice was a little playful, "This is the new life I grant you."

The four people's bodies began to twitch, and something moved under their skin. After a moment, they opened their eyes.

"Master." The four of them knelt on the ground and bowed their heads in greeting.

Dio nodded with satisfaction, and turned his gaze to the deep pit formed by the explosion. There were two people lying there - the seriously injured Tanjiro and the cut-off Gyoumei.

Dio jumped down to the bottom of the pit, but the next moment, his expression suddenly froze.

"what?!"

Dio's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw only the body of Gyomei Hirata on the ground, while Tanjiro, who was supposed to be lying there, had disappeared.
