Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 265 Seizing the Supreme
Before Akame could agree, Xu Feng had already taken Murasame from her.

Immediately.

This ominous Imperial Arms, infused with a massive amount of Buddhist power and true essence, radiated a dazzling golden Buddhist light.

The faint phantom image of a thousand-armed, thousand-eyed Bodhisattva appears on the blade.

Rotating gold, black, and red runes extended from the blade and from the thousand hands and eyes of the Bodhisattva's phantom into the air, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

Immediately, the runes began to shrink.

At that moment, Xu Feng gently sliced ​​the black pupil's arm with his knife.

The red, black, and gold runes bound Black Pupil tightly in that instant, and as the blade left her arm, they took away some of her consciousness from her body.

Xu Feng put away his knife.

Black Eyes, who was originally deathly pale and exuded an eerie aura, had fallen into a coma and collapsed to the ground.

"Black Eyes!"

Akame quickly caught her younger sister, nervously touching her carotid artery: "Her heart is still beating... Has she turned back into a human?"

At that moment, the girl in her arms opened her eyes, extremely weakly.

Kuroko looked at the person holding her with some confusion: "Sister? Is it an illusion? Or... has sister also come to hell?"

"It's not an illusion! It's all over!" Akame exclaimed excitedly.

Before Minister Ernest dies, she will not hesitate to kill his sister, who is essentially Ernest's accomplice.

But now that both former minister Ernest and Ernest's deputy who formed the assassination squad have been executed, the 'sword' Kurohime has regained its freedom, and Akame naturally hopes that her most important sister can be saved.

Black Eyes pursed her lips and whispered, "Sister, I'm so hungry... I want some snacks..."

"You're too weak right now; it's not suitable for you to eat snacks," Xu Feng said with a smile, interrupting the two sisters' reunion and reminiscing.

He is very happy.

The fact that the super dangerous species' will, which was corrupting the black pupils, was slain actually yielded a side story from the main god.

Although there was only one C-level side story, it was still a pleasant surprise.

After returning to this world, Xu Feng assassinated several Imperial Arms users from the Empire in order to plunder Imperial Arms, but none of them provided any side quests.

Since those Imperial Arms were all like the World Encyclopedia: Longo Longo, which couldn't directly increase combat power, and the users of Imperial Arms weren't stronger than ordinary people, Xu Feng wasn't too surprised.

However, he was already mentally prepared that killing ordinary Teigu users would not unlock side quests.

The unexpected gain from Kuroko's body led him to another way to obtain side quests.

Hsu Feng moved closer to the two sisters.

He took out a bottle of nutrient solution from the Tun Tun factory: "Before your body recovers a little energy, Hei Tong should drink some milk to replenish your nutrition."

"What are those runes? Will the things they took from Kurohime's body affect Kurohime?" Akame asked curiously, recalling the somewhat magical scene from earlier.

"Those runes are the source of Murasame's power."

Xu Feng, holding up the knife, explained, "After it cooperated with me, it maximized its abilities with my support, which is why it presented the scene just now."

With that last strike, Xu Feng didn't completely control Murasame, but rather achieved cooperation with its internal will.

You assist the sword, allowing it to unleash its strongest power and benefit from it.

When Xu Feng first came into contact with the Imperial Arms, he used his true energy to sense the special consciousness within them.

After practicing the "Bodhi Proof Divine Skill", his mental strength greatly increased, and his understanding of the Imperial Arms became clearer. He was able to transmit his will to the Imperial Arms and communicate with them directly.

In theory, Xu Feng could use the power of the 'Dharma Image' to completely control the Imperial Arms, replacing the dangerous species consciousness within the Imperial Arms with the Dharma Image—this is actually his recent research direction.

However, forcibly taking control would weaken the Emperor's power and waste his energy.

Murasame is not worth using this method to subdue.

Xu Feng continued, "As for the things that the rune chains took from Kurohime's body... that was the core of Hachifusa. Hachifusa's Imperial Arm is now useless; its core ability to control corpses has been 'plundered' by Murasame."

"Muramasa can even steal the abilities of Imperial Arms?" Akame looked at her Imperial Arms in surprise.

The effect of Murasame's secret technique 'Enmusubi' is to grant the user the power of those Murasame has killed.

The more people you kill, and the stronger those people are, the stronger the power that the skill 'En no Ozuno' can unleash will become.

Xu Feng smiled and shook his head: "Teigu are essentially on the same level as Super Dangerous Species. Yafusa's Teigu can control the corpse of Super Dangerous Species Destagur, so what difficulty would it be for Murasame to plunder Yafusa? Besides, it has my help."

"Furthermore, Murasame became much stronger after 'devouring' Yatsufusa, and it seems to have become a bit unruly as a result... Akame, try to see if you can still control this sword."

Akame gazed at the trembling demonic sword and shook her head, saying, "There's no need to try."

"There are no villains in this world that I must destroy. Murasame has become meaningless to me... Doctor, please handle this knife properly."

Akame trusts Xu Feng a lot.

She believed that the knife could only be properly disposed of in Xu Feng's hands.

"Ah."

Xu Feng nodded, then looked at Kuroto and said, "By the way, does Kuroto care that I took Hachifusa? I need to use it to forge a scabbard for Murasame."

After the core of the Imperial Arms "March of the Dead: Hachifusa" was 'plundered' by Murasame, it lost the ability to create and control corpses.

But inside it is a necromantic space that can store eight corpses.

This 'broken' knife is not cheap.

Kurohime glanced at Yatsufusa, and after realizing that she had inexplicably lost her connection with the sword, she nodded slightly.

The capital city, a mining area in the western suburbs.

Xu Feng brought Akame and Kurome back to the capital and settled the two foodie sisters before coming here to rebuild Murasame and Hachifusa.

He examined the two samurai swords.

He recalled the Maoshan techniques he had acquired from the world of "Mr. Vampire".

After a long time, a design for modifying the Imperial Arms came to him.

Xu Feng closed his eyes and rested for several days.

Once the condition was adjusted to its best, the two swords were put into the Tuntun Factory, and the two Imperial Arms were disassembled bit by bit.

These two weapons are of very high quality. It will take him ten to twenty days to disassemble them to a point where they can be rebuilt while preserving their cores.

The Imperial Arms that were also dismantled included two large axes, Belwak.

This Imperial Arm is of average strength, but it is made with high-quality materials. The amount of high-grade materials used to forge it is more than that used in the Murasame and Hachifusa Imperial Arms combined.

Besides.

Xu Feng also disassembled some of the equipment he had used in the past, and recovered high-level materials such as fine gold and mithril from it.

Subsequently.

Under the precise control of the Imperial Arm 'God's Hand', those high-level items gradually filled Murasame's core of will and the stripped rune structure. During the filling process, a large number of runes obtained from the world of "Mr. Zombie" were also inscribed. The two parts of the runes were not perfectly combined together.

After two months of hard work, a brand new samurai sword appeared in Xu Feng's hands.

It is one size larger than the original Murasame.

The length and thickness have increased slightly, but the weight is three times that of the original, making it difficult to wield flexibly without sufficient strength.

It comes with a metal scabbard that is silver-white on the outside and dark red on the inside.

The scabbard was also very heavy.

Xu Feng gently gripped the weapon he had modified and said with satisfaction, "The Murasame Blade uses the Soul-Seizing Technique. After cultivating a sufficiently powerful 'soul,' it can then use the 'Summoning the Gods' technique to borrow the power of that soul to enhance itself."

"The Eight Chambers of the Sword Sheath can store up to eight Corpse Kings, and the Corpse Kings can devour the flesh, blood, bones and other essence of the dead to continuously strengthen themselves."

"Every life slain by this blade, from body to soul, is spared... A demonic blade that grows stronger the more lives it takes!"

This Imperial Arm possesses the advantages of both the Murasame and Yafusa Imperial Arms.

Furthermore, after combining the Taoist magic of the "Mr. Zombie" world, it gained growth potential that surpassed the original two Imperial Arms.

"I wonder who among Tifa, Shoko, and Mei will be able to control this demonic sword!"

Xu Feng murmured softly.

Shinmura's potential is extremely high. After the sword master kills enough lives, the power granted by the sword spirit alone can far surpass that of Akame, who killed Esdeath in the final battle.

However, this knife did not improve his abilities much.

Whether it's soul-stealing or corpse-controlling, this Imperial Arm has its limits.

Specifically, it is slightly weaker than the thirteenth level of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" - the strength of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is the limit of pure physical development. There are many ways to break through this limit, such as extremely deep microscopic depth, spiritual light that amplifies the physical body, etc. Many methods can break through the limit, but none of these are things that Shinmura Asahi can do.

In Xu Feng's calculations, the five years of this exchange would allow him to grow to a level that Shinmura Asahi could not improve.

He will have more than ten years of training ahead of him... Murasame, this weapon, can only be passed on to someone else.

Xu Feng painstakingly forged it, all for one purpose—to seize the Supreme Imperial Arms!
In fact, after returning to this world, he devoted so much energy to researching Imperial Arms in order to obtain the Supreme Imperial Arm.

Xu Feng did not underestimate the Supreme Imperial Arms just because it was defeated by the dragon-transformed Tatsumi. The responsibility for the Supreme Imperial Arms' defeat did not lie entirely with that useless pilot, the young emperor, but he was still 80% responsible.

As for the remaining 20% ​​of the responsibility—it lies with the emperors of the past nine hundred years.

The First Emperor created this incredibly powerful 'Gundam', but these useless descendants not only failed to improve it in any way, they didn't even take good care of it!
A thousand years of heritage wasted.

Unlike other Imperial Arms.

The Imperial Arm, the Supreme Throne, can only be used by someone with the bloodline of the First Emperor.

During the team battle against the Arctic Continent team, Xu Feng originally planned to use the power of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit to fuse the Little Emperor and a Claymore Creature together, making the Claymore Creature the indirect pilot of the Supreme Throne.

Unfortunately, the impending decisive battle thwarted his plan and caused it to fail prematurely.

Xu Feng seized the Supreme Throne and took this Imperial Arm to other worlds for use. The core issue is—abolishing the Imperial Arm's master-recognition mechanism!

He devoted his energy to studying Imperial Arms in order to uncover their true nature from other Imperial Arms and to develop a method to target the Supreme Throne from the structural level of Imperial Arms.

Murasame was one of the tools he planned to use against the Supreme Throne.

The original village rain wasn't strong enough.

In the manga, Akame used Murasame to try and damage the Supreme Imperial Arm, but it had no effect.

At the time, Akame believed that the Supreme Throne was a mechanical creation without a heart, which was why it could not function.

However, subsequent changes to the High Throne indicate that this is not the case; in Berserk mode, the High Throne resembles a giant dragon hundreds of meters tall.

Xu Feng also learned from the Imperial Fist Temple that the First Emperor had hunted down a super-sized Tyrande.

This made him suspect that the Supreme Imperial Arms used that enormous Tyrande as material. Because it was so large, it had evolved to be immune to the poison when the Murasame's cursed poison spread to the heart of the Supreme Imperial Arms.

If the enhanced Murasame had been used to directly attack the heart of the Supreme Imperial Arms, the outcome might have been different.

After creating the Murasame, Xu Feng did not rush to seize the Supreme Imperial Arms.

Despite having control of the entire empire and most of the palace, with even the young emperor himself becoming his puppet, there was virtually no possibility of failure in his attempt to seize the throne.

But he was still preparing for the plan to fail.

Before seizing the throne, they prepared to create a weapon capable of destroying the High Throne—the Turbo Laser Cannon.

If the High Throne goes berserk and out of control during the conquest, making a successful plunder impossible, destroy it using a turbo laser cannon.

While the Supreme Imperial Arms are precious, they are only valuable if they can become his spoils of war.

On the 630th day after returning to the world of Akame ga Kill!, Xu Feng mastered the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique to the twelfth level.

The radius of the awakened domain of the Swallow Fruit increased by ten meters again due to this enhancement.

This doubled his speed of 'refining essence into qi' again, slightly improved his cultivation speed, and shortened the time to master the 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill' again, to about two years.

The final level of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" is very difficult to cultivate.

Under normal circumstances, it would take thousands of years of meticulous work to polish every minute detail of the body to its limit.

Over thousands of years, on the one hand, it was to accumulate enough true energy, and on the other hand, it was to acquire basic microscopic control through long-term practice.

Even with abundant true energy, it still requires a considerable amount of time and hard work.

However, Xu Feng mastered the skill of precisely controlling Buddhist power during the practice of the "Buddha's Palm".

The palm techniques "Universal Salvation of All Beings" and "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage" are incredibly exquisite in their use of Buddhist power. This method of application can be used for cultivation, and can slightly accelerate the cultivation speed of the final level of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill".

Xu Feng's processing ability also improved due to the enhancement of the awakened domain of the Swallow Fruit.

The 'Magic Science' combined version of the turbo laser cannon, which was originally scheduled to take two and a half years to complete, is expected to be completed five months ahead of schedule.

In the process, he had to admit one thing... the original turbo laser cannon was far too difficult to manufacture, with ridiculously high requirements for power supply, materials, and control. On the contrary, the 'magic-technology' combined version of the turbo laser cannon was much easier to produce.

The 700th day.

After solving the most challenging aspect of the research and development—the power supply device—the turbine laser cannon was officially finalized and entered the testing phase.

Because the weapon was so powerful, Xu Feng had to go into space to test it.

Day 750.

Xu Feng returns to Earth and enters the palace without any hesitation.

He encountered General Bude in front of the Little Emperor's palace.

The two looked at each other.

Among the supernatural powers in Buddhism, there are six very famous ones: the divine eye, the divine ear, the ability to know others' minds, the ability to travel at will, the ability to know past lives, and the ability to extinct all defilements.

These are six supernatural abilities that can be actively cultivated.

When one's Buddhist cultivation reaches a sufficiently high level, one can acquire these six supernatural powers without a teacher.

Xu Feng is still a long way from mastering these six supernatural abilities.

But his understanding was enough for him to comprehend General Bude's will in their eye contact: a subject must die for his sovereign! No matter how strong the enemy, he would stand in front of the monarch to protect this thousand-year-old royal family.

After realizing that Xu Feng's intentions were not good, Bud prepared for battle.

The power of lightning formed a powerful armor around his body.

"Commendable loyalty, but too weak in strength."

Xu Feng commented expressionlessly.

He formed the meditation mudra with his hands, and a vast amount of Buddhist power formed a seated Buddha image behind him, which then formed the earth-touching mudra.

Instantly, the light of Buddha's power illuminated an area of ​​several miles.

Within this space spanning several miles, it seemed as if a gigantic hand, obscuring the sky and sun, had appeared, or as if Buddhas sat cross-legged chanting sutras everywhere, all extending their palms toward Bude.

All of this happened the instant Xu Feng formed the hand seal.

Just as General Bude was preparing to retaliate with his thunderous power, the palm strike landed on him.

The lightning armor failed to block it in the slightest.

However, as the palm strike landed, an invisible defense suddenly appeared beneath General Bude's thunder armor.

This caused the Buddha's palm to pause for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

The next second, the Buddha's light dissipated.

General Bude was never to live again.

Just then, Xu Feng suddenly sensed spatial fluctuations near the Imperial Arms Supreme Throne.

The Supreme Imperial Arms itself was still there, but its core disappeared the moment Budo was defeated.

Spatial teleportation?

Xu Feng looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully, "If the First Emperor could create an Imperial Arm like the Dimensional Array Shangri-La, it's not surprising that the Supreme Imperial Arms have spatial transfer capabilities. Judging from the young emperor's combat performance, the Supreme Imperial Arms themselves possess many of the abilities of Imperial Arms."

"However... seeing the situation was not good, they immediately chose to escape, which was somewhat unexpected."

Xu Feng and the Supreme Imperial Arms had only exchanged a brief blow just now.

Neither of them displayed even one percent of their strength. The fact that the controller of the Supreme Throne chose to flee simply because of the failure of that probing attack was completely unexpected by Xu Feng.

Humans will eventually die, but weapons can protect the empire forever... This is why the First Emperor created Imperial Arms, and it also clearly expresses the First Emperor's path to immortality!

The fact is that the consciousness within the Imperial Arms, the Supreme Throne, is that of the First Emperor.

As for why the First Emperor, despite still existing, allowed the young emperor and ministers to ruin the empire, it's probably because he underestimated the will remaining in the other materials within the Imperial Arms. This will forced him to fight against the Imperial Arms' bodies for the past millennium to prevent the supreme throne from spiraling out of control.

Xu Feng closed his eyes and contacted the surveillance systems he had set up in various locations.

Then, he frowned and said, "There is no trace of the Supreme Throne's core anywhere in the world..."

"So, does that mean the core of the Supreme Imperial Arms, like that of the Super Dangerous Species, the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon, has left this planet?"

Xu Feng shook his head: "Never mind that, let's take the spoils first. Once the core is gone, this supreme throne will be much easier to subdue."

After the control room disappeared, the Supreme Throne's body moved instinctively.

Although the movement was small, its enormous size, resembling a small mountain, still caused a commotion similar to an earthquake.

If left unattended.

It will cause countless casualties.

Xu Feng once again formed the meditation mudra.

The phantom of Buddha reappeared, and then the phantom, which was more than ten feet tall, gradually merged with the Imperial Arms, which was more than six hundred meters tall.

A moment later, the Supreme Throne, which had been unstable due to the loss of its core, sat down cross-legged.

It resembles a giant Buddha.

Looking at the mountain of spoils, Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh, "It seems too big! I wonder if the Swallow Factory, once it grows up, will be able to hold this behemoth..."
