I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 371 The Special Heavenly Path of Two Feet: The Acceptance of the Wishes of All Beings! Something's not right about that city in Hokkaido!
Lord Uesugi, besides the [Peel Abyss], do you intend to continue training in the four ultimate forms?
Qing did not reply immediately.

Because he hadn't even considered that possibility.

The Abyss of Skin, and the Palace of Flesh that was mentioned offhand...

"Lord Uesugi, are you perhaps planning to complete all four of these ultimate forms?!"
An ordinary person who can accomplish even one of these things would be considered a prodigy. As long as their strength in the other areas is just slightly sufficient, they can become virtually invincible among their peers. Yet, the master wants them all.

Moreover, judging from the adult's words, it seems that the [Palace of Flesh] is almost complete?

How much time has passed since the completion of Skin Abyss?
What terrifying efficiency!

"Xiaoqing, why aren't you saying anything?"

Uesugi Tetsu met the blood-red eyes on the hilt of the sword, paused for a moment and wondered if he had shocked Ao by his rapid cultivation.

It shouldn't be...

Half a month has passed since the Warring States period began.

Isn't it normal to make so much progress in half a month? If it were at the beginning, I would have gone from being unable to beat foxes and raccoons to being able to beat a hundred foxes and raccoons in half a month.

Qing thought blankly—

His Yin-Yang arts rival those of Abe no Seimei, his swordsmanship is on par with the swordsmen of the Heian period, and now he even aspires to surpass everyone below the level of demons and gods in terms of sheer physical strength. Even those ancient and powerful demons cannot compare to him...

If this continues, Lord Uesugi might truly become the strongest being among all creatures throughout history, second only to demons and gods!
Qing's thoughts were complicated, but she still reminded him with some concern.

"Lord Uesugi, I wonder if you are aware of this..."

In fact, the training of the four ultimate forms is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I'm sure you are also aware of the trials that Pi Zhiyuan went through.

When a cultivator wants to achieve multiple ultimate forms, the intensity of each subsequent trial must increase exponentially.

One wrong move, and it could even shatter your soul.

"It doesn't matter."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded, indicating that he understood.

If he were to transform into the Hundred-Eyed Demon, his willpower would surpass that of most demons and gods. While he might not be able to easily achieve all ultimate forms, he would certainly be more than capable of doing so in the Flesh Palace.

Qing's tone carried a hint of worry, yet also a strange sense of anticipation: "In my thousand years of experience, I have never seen anyone who has completed all four of these ultimate forms."

"Don't worry."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled and said, "Since we haven't met before, I'm the first one you've seen."

He grinned at the blood-red eyes.
"In this way, if you meet a master who approves of you a thousand years later, you can say to him, 'A thousand years ago, I had a master who easily completed the four ultimate forms of the Flesh Palace stage. This is possible.'"

Qing remained silent for a long time, and finally uttered a single word.

"it is good."

—Although only one major aperture needs to be opened before the completion of the Palace of Flesh is finished, it is not something that can be accomplished in the blink of an eye.

After the seventy-two major apertures, opening each aperture is a level of difficulty that is simply unimaginable to ordinary people.

Otherwise, the Tokugawa family wouldn't have failed to produce even one or two complete divine treasures in each generation.

If Uesugi Tetsu hadn't reached the "Embracing the Elixir" level in his control over qi and blood, if he hadn't used half of Yaobikuni's heart as a benchmark, and if his physique hadn't been exceptionally strong, it would have been impossible for him to achieve this level in just half a month.

Without a master-level Natural Flow of Reason to oversee the whole situation, this level might have to be left idle for several days.

However, the Natural Rinpoche style has already broken through this barrier.

Therefore, this great orifice can be opened tonight.

Just then, Imagawa Yoshimoto returned to his room to rest that evening. He could transform into Hyakume-ki and break through his limits simply by sitting still.

Uesugi Tetsuya repeatedly used a torrent of qi and blood to wear down his still-undeveloped ninetieth acupoint, while keeping an eye on the progress of the rest—

Since breaking through to the Master level in the Five Thunder Technique, the progress of using the Myriad Spirits Furnace Core to automate the game has slowed down considerably.

I used to be able to gain around 120-150 proficiency points a day, but now I only get around 60 points a day, which is less than half of what I used to get.

Zhou Tianyanjia, on the other hand, proceeded step by step, showing great composure.

I've already collected 58 Flame Armors, and I'm not far from completing the first minor cycle with 72. It'll only take a little over a month of idling.

The Heavenly Path of the Hundred-Eyed Demon...

To be honest, progress has been extremely slow, with virtually no movement.

A peaceful life like this, where one doesn't cause trouble and only focuses on cultivation, hardly increases the progress of the Heavenly Path. This is why most Hyakume-ki need hundreds of years to complete the Heavenly Path.

The journey ahead is long, but Uesugi Tetsu's intuition tells him otherwise.

If it were him, he could immediately sever those unfinished paths to heaven and ascend to godhood on the spot.

But then it would be incomplete.

A single, incomplete ghost or deity might be close to the disgrace of a ghost or deity like the one the manager was made of, so there's no point in trying to make it happen.

After that, Uesugi Tetsu asked Kaga Kiyomitsu, Ao, and Nisaku to report on their gains over the past two weeks.

First, there was Xiao Jia, who immediately tried to take credit after hearing this.

"Master, Master, we work hard with Brother Qing every night to slay demons and monsters!"

Uesugi Tetsu glanced at his Soul Points.

Soul Points: 1621

That number is indeed quite large.

After all, he didn't want Xiao Jia to be too far away.

Then Xiao Jia said somewhat dejectedly, "Actually, based on the progress of the first few days, we could have killed even more, but we couldn't find a single demon in the middle of the night... Do these bad guys even know to run away...?"

So you two have slaughtered all the demons around Junfu City.

Uesugi Tetsuya's lips twitched. He glanced at the upgrade options for the small enhancement and found that he could only upgrade either [Slash Expert] or [Thrust Expert] at the moment.

It doesn't seem to be of much use.

It's better to save up another 400 Soul Points, then you can upgrade [Blazing Blessing+] to the next level.

Generally speaking, aside from quality, a "+" after it is the maximum; further improvement may lead to a qualitative change.

There weren't many vengeful spirits in Qing Dao's body, only a few hundred, most of which were given to Xiao Jia Zhan.

He himself mostly killed scattered individuals who caused trouble at night.

As for Karudo, she had already built good relationships with both of them in the past two weeks. Although she hadn't made Erchi a good friend, at least he wouldn't continue to secretly call her a vixen.

The black book has become increasingly obedient. Whenever Ge Liu uses it to predict whether there will be a crisis in the near future, it answers immediately. When there is no crisis, it remains motionless like a dead object.

Among them, the one who worked the hardest and made the most progress was Erchi Daren.

Uesugi Tetsu raised his eyes and looked at the small figure who had been completely shrouded in golden-white mist and had not moved for two days.

She is fulfilling her responsibility as a "deity" who is worshipped and revered.

And it was for this reason that she began her trials toward becoming a god.

Your special shikigami, "Yasakatsu Bosatsu," is attempting to initiate a special trial in the Heavenly Path—the bestowal of the wishes of all beings!

This prompt was the same color as the mist surrounding the two-foot-tall man—a mixture of gold and white.

[The bestowal of the wishes of all sentient beings]

Trial Introduction:
Ancient historical records state that those who accept the offerings of all living beings and grant them their wishes are deities.

People worship gods, hoping that the gods will grant their heartfelt wishes.

Deity, please send down rain.

Deity, please save this poor child.

Deity, please exorcise this wicked demon.

Lord God...

Lord God...

But is all of this really what those who accept offerings from all living beings should do?
As a novice, inexperienced deity, how should you choose to face the wishes of all beings?

[Do you agree to open this special celestial path for your special shikigami "Yasakatsu Bosatsu"?] Uesugi Tetsuya finished reading the introduction to this celestial path, but inexplicably felt a touch of evil in it.

The Heavenly Path, in theory, should be a long road with a very clear goal, but it is extremely difficult to complete.

For example, the Red Prajna's [slaughter], the Hundred-Eyed Demon's [witnessing]...

However, the description of the Heavenly Path of the Two-Foot Master seems ambiguous. It seems that he is to fulfill the wishes of all beings, but it also seems that he should not do it honestly.

really.

[Warning: This special celestial path is highly difficult and dangerous. Please choose carefully!]

Uesugi Tetsuya looked at the line of characters half-stained with blood; this was already considered a rather dangerous warning.

The line of text below is just ordinary semi-transparent.

The two-foot-tall man initially followed the path of divine guidance, and under normal circumstances, he would continue to advance along this path.

[If you disagree, your special shikigami "Yasakatsu Bosatsu" will open the "Divinely Granted Haunted House" and be promoted to four stars in the normal way.]

After pondering for a moment, Uesugi Tetsu felt that he himself was not very familiar with incense and vows, so he decided to let Lord Erchi make the choice himself.

No matter what she chooses, I will not interfere; I will only do my best to support and respect her choice.

"Two feet, come here once."

Uesugi Tetsu touched her heartstrings, causing the girl in the golden mist to slowly open her eyes.

A flicker of numbness and weariness crossed Er Chi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a surge of joy.

"Lord Che, what brings you here?"

The girl rubbed her numb cheeks and ran over with a smile.

Uesugi Tetsuya didn't keep her in suspense. He explained the Heavenly Path and the options to Lady Nichi, and then waited for her reply.

He noticed that the joy on the man's face disappeared as he listened.

It seems I've gained some insights during these days.

Uesugi Tetsu patted her head: "It's okay, think about it slowly."

"Well……"

The two-foot-tall man pursed his lips and lowered his head.

She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, and softly said, "Lord Che, I accept, I accept this Heavenly Trial."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Hmm." Lord Erchi took a deep breath and said, "Now that things have come to this, 'God' cannot desert his post."

So Uesugi Tetsu made the choice for her.

[You have agreed to grant your special shikigami "Yasakatsu Bosatsu", initiating a special Heavenly Trial—the Acceptance of the Wishes of All Beings!]

A huge golden-white notification immediately appeared above the head of the two-foot-tall woman, and her shoulders suddenly slumped down a little, as if something unseen was pressing down on them.

[Current Trial Progress: 0.9%]

Uesugi Tetsu thought for a moment, then searched through his storage bag for a while before taking out a piece of clear white crystal and placing it in the little hand of the two-foot-tall man.

"This is the crystallization of your wishes; it might be of some help to you."

【Wish Crystal (Special Item)】

[Quality: None]

[Effect: Possesses all the positive effects of "Evil Crystallization" and "Wish Power Crystallization," and its effect is doubled for shikigami.]

[—Through the efforts of a certain great Onmyoji, evil intentions and wishes have merged into one.]

Feeling the pure and flawless power of will that he had never seen before, the two-foot-tall man subconsciously gripped it tightly and nodded: "Thank you, Lord Che..."

"Don't thank me, Erchi. Just tell me if there's anything I can help you with."

Uesugi Tetsu stretched out his hands, straightened her slumped shoulders, and smiled gently at her, "If you feel you can't do it, it's okay to give up."

"We will absolutely not give up on making Lord Che lose face..."

Erchi had just finished speaking, clutching the wish crystal tightly, when he saw the displeased look in Uesugi Tetsu's eyes. He could only lower his head and respond softly.
"Alright... I'll do as Lord Che says."

"Okay, let's go."

Uesugi Tetsu turned her around and patted her on the back.

"Remember to rest."

"Ah."

……

That night, Uesugi Tetsu took the initiative to use his qi and blood to open the ninetieth acupoint.

Then, fully armed, he transformed into the Hundred-Eyed Demon, and under Ao's slightly tense gaze, his muscles underwent violent, even terrifying, changes.

However, under the suppression of the supermodel willpower attribute of over 200 points, the Palace of Flesh still seemed to have completed it without any major incidents.

You are currently undergoing the "Trial of the Palace of Flesh"...

[Your will has been approved!]

[Your Corona Breathing Technique - Flesh Palace Stage - Four Ultimate Forms - Flesh Palace is complete!]

Your muscle strength has increased dramatically!!!

[Your physique +5! ]

[Your muscles have a significantly increased efficiency in utilizing internal energy!!!]

[Your Flesh Palace - Four Ultimate Forms Completion Count: (2/4)]

[Please note that the Willpower attribute required to complete the four ultimate forms will be significantly increased next time!!!]

"call……"

A scorching white current swept through the entire courtyard, blowing a few withered yellow leaves from the soil in the distance to the corner of the wall.

Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes after being tortured by having his muscles dissolved and then being forcibly poured into molten iron and cast into his body thousands of times, and felt the strange sensation in his body.

He looked down and saw the enormous pectoral muscles that seemed to be bursting out of Hyakume's tuxedo, yet he carefully suppressed every restless force within his body.
"Is this me...?"

Uesugi Tetsu summoned the Water Mirror and stared at the muscular behemoth that was over two meters tall and whose arms were thicker than his thighs. His lips twitched involuntarily.

Is this irreversible...?

Uesugi Tetsu sat on the ground for several hours, finally managing to gather about half of the power of this "giant beast form" and return it to his normal body.

However, to unleash the full potential of the Flesh Palace, one must transform into a terrifying figure with bulging muscles.

Only after he completes all four ultimate forms can his body perfectly withstand the violent power of this "Palace of Flesh".

"Never mind, actually wearing the Red Hannya Mask like this is quite intimidating..."

Uesugi Tetsuya muttered to himself.

Moreover, given its "monster" appearance, no one would believe it's a great Onmyoji, which would just fool a bunch of people.

Suddenly, Uesugi Tetsuya, who was still carefully adapting to the new violent power brought by the Palace of Flesh, paused, a slight unease passing through his mind.

He squinted and saw Karuta sleeping peacefully.

Without waking her, Uesugi Tetsu chose to return to the real world first.

In the darkness, Uesugi Tetsuya took out his phone.

The message that came into view was from Ririko.

[Li: Something's not right about this city in Hokkaido!]

[Li: Something's not right!]
