Curse Return: Swordsmith Start

Wu Tiao nodded.

"A good plan, but there's a problem: will they give us that much time to prepare?"

Launching the strongest attack means abandoning defense. In a scenario where the entire screen is covered in firepower, the opponent will definitely not give them that chance. They need to find something to protect them.

"In that case, let me do it..."

Before Jiujiu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Yue people.

"No need. Just to be on the safe side, you should all attack together. I'll handle the defense. Three seconds, is that enough?"

Gojo Satoru's lips twitched slightly.

Three seconds? He really dares to say that! That's enough time for her to use several full-power virtual attacks. What kind of fancy trick is this kid going to show off this time? I'm actually starting to look forward to it.

"That's definitely no problem."

"That's right..."

"Attack together!"

"In that case, let's take action!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other side launched another attack.

A wave emanated from the monster, and the dark red light turned azure blue.

The anti-gravity mechanism is deactivated.

Expanding the Domain – "Paradise Kingdom"

The cursed spirits that had been floating in mid-air fell from the sky, crashing to the ground and onto the sword mound. Some broke their legs, others their necks...

Xia Youjie frowned slightly but didn't speak. He moved his fingers inside his sleeve, and the injured cursed spirits sank into the shadows, while new cursed spirits crawled out from them.

Superior-grade cursed spirit, Dai Tian, ​​technique extraction—"Curse Power Cannon," a pitch-black vortex gathered before him, and the cursed spirit within his body was sent into it without hesitation.

"The Ultimate Chapter" - "Uzumaki"

The gun barrels fired again, and countless bullets rained down on the crowd.

Everyone else was busy with their own things and ignored the comments.

Wu Tiao Wu spread her ten fingers, palms facing forward. Cang and He simultaneously lit up in her palm.

"Imaginary form—"

Tsukumo also curled up his shikigami, the Imperial Wheel, into a sphere, while continuously increasing its mass.

"Star's Fury"

Yuta Otsuko put the ring from his neck onto his hand, and a surge of powerful cursed energy flowed into Rika's body, condensing and bombarding his body with cursed energy.

"Cursed Power Impact"

Everyone was preparing their moves, ready to unleash their strongest attack in three seconds, paying no attention to the attack that might land on them the next moment.

They believed the boy because he said he would find a way.

Faced with the overwhelming barrage of bullets, Yue Ren closed his eyes.

"Wu Wang"

"Transformation into a Butterfly"

"Unity of Heaven and Earth"

"Since I am God"

"Domain Expansion" - "All Things Return to Their Origin"

The Yue man formed a hand seal, and an invisible wave, like ripples on a calm lake, spread out from him.

Amidst the slightly surprised expressions of the others...

The world was thus isolated, and all the deadly bullets that attacked everyone turned into harmless petals without any momentum the instant they were passed by the invisible wave.

Outside the arena, all the other sorcerers who witnessed this scene through the crows that were also imprisoned were stunned.

It was an unimaginable and miraculous scene. One moment they were worried about the danger faced by the group of special agents, and the next moment everything was reversed.

Centered on the Yue people, "color" began to erode everything around them. All attacks that represented death became harmless, quiet, and leisurely the instant that the invisible fluctuations passed by... and finally appeared in front of everyone in the form of flower petals.

Looking at the boy who turned the battlefield into a sea of ​​flowers, everyone was filled with awe. Perhaps this was true power.

The power of miracles!

In an invisible place, the collision between the boundaries of the domains had already begun, but there was no confrontation as expected. The seemingly empty invisible boundary of the Yue Ren domain was like a flame burning lint, completely eroding the opponent's boundless domain.

Countless petals appeared in the air; these were the enhanced molecular bullets within the domain, all of which had their properties fundamentally altered, transforming into fragrant petals.

"How is this possible? What on earth is going on?"

No one answered Lu Suo, because no one except the Yue people themselves knew what had happened.

Only the two of them noticed something was wrong, and the same thought popped into their minds.

Has Yue Ren opened up a second realm?!

One is Gojo Satoru, who discovered the surging magical power in Yue Ren through the "Six Eyes." This extreme magical power operation only appears when the domain is activated.

The other one is Tsukumo Yuki. Seeing that all the attacks were "de-harmed," she was certain that this was a domain, and it was an open domain just like the one she had just seen!

However, the same question also came to their minds.

How did he manage to do that?

Yue Ren didn't take it to heart. After all, this was perfectly normal for him. Or rather, he was too slow. It took him more than a year to truly unleash the power of his domain, which was far inferior to Yi Gu's.

"Wuyuan Sword Technique" is not a domain of Yue Ren's techniques. The two are fundamentally different. It is merely a legacy that Yue Ren inherited from Grandpa Muramasa. It is a fixed barrier and is fundamentally different from a domain. Therefore, he can use techniques within a domain.

What is being revealed now is the true domain of the Yue people, a barrier technique inscribed with spell patterns.

That's right, this is the expansion of Yue Ren's own technique "Tracing the Source"—"Returning All Things to Their Origin".

Open domain, with a maximum radius of 400 meters.

As for the effect, it's quite simple. If "tracing the source" represents limited "omniscience," then the effect of the domain is a further step, limited "omnipotence."

Within the domain, the caster can create 'rules' like a god, and everything that enters the domain will be 'analyzed' and then forced to comply with the 'rules' he has set.

There are limitations, though. Each rule change requires a large amount of spell power, and the 'analysis' process also requires spell power; failure occurs if there is insufficient spell power.

The effect of the area that Yue Ren is currently creating is to "transform offensive bullets into harmless flower petals".

That's why the shocking scene just now happened.

Countless bullets, both tangible and intangible, that were deemed harmful were all transformed into harmless petals the moment they entered the field and were analyzed.

This method can truly be described as a miracle.

And this is the strongest skill that Yue people have come up with so far by combining what they have learned and felt.

"Tracing the source," "Non-action transformation," "Barrier technique"... all of these combined, sublimated, and condensed into this unique ability that belongs only to him. It is his first step beyond the framework of old man Muramasa.

The colossal creation was unable to launch an attack, and its domain—"Heavenly Kingdom"—was eroded by "All Things Return to Origin," which was also a boundless domain, and ultimately collapsed.

The entire process took exactly three seconds.

For the next 0.1 seconds, the enemy cannot use another area.

This was an absolute vacuum period created by the Yue people.

The other four top-tier individuals, upon seeing the sign of the shattered domain image, clearly understood what the boy meant by three seconds!

Is that what he meant? As expected of him!

With this resolve, the four exchanged a glance.

All attacks are ready to be fired.

One hundred and fifty meters—that distance is more than enough for them to cover in a fraction of a second, given their attack speed.

But the problem is not over—

The enemy had two heads. It's true the Vietnamese created the opportunity for them, but it's pointless if the one he was responsible for wasn't destroyed along with the enemy's. What exactly was he trying to do...?

The moment the thought arose, the surging magical power around them had already answered their question.

Before anyone knew it, a longbow reappeared in the Yue man's hand, with a semi-solid energy arrow already mounted on it.

The domain is dispelled after it has completed its effect of blocking attacks and breaking the opponent's domain, because he needs to use a spell.

Technique Sequencing – “Tracing the Origin” – Tracing the origin, trajectory, and structure of techniques of things.

Technique Reversal – “Floating Light” Rejection isolates physical existence, “virtualizing” it.

The two forces merged into one.

"Starlight"

"Pioneering"

"Imagination" — "Conceptual Fiction"

"Guaranteed Success - Cause and Effect Tracking"

A causal chain, incomprehensible to everyone, connects the brain to the arrow in the Yue man's hand.

As he channeled the cursed power, his knuckles tightened one by one, and his absolutely focused expression made the cursed power turn pitch black with a reddish tinge—"Black Flash".

Under this immense force, the bow began to bend, like a spring compressed to its limit, each inch of bending accompanied by resistance.

There's no need to aim; the added hit guarantee effect is enough to ensure that arrows shot in the opposite direction hit.

The attack was already complete when the Yue man used that ability; all he was doing now was providing the arrow with sufficient destructive power.

He was gathering his strength and waiting, waiting for others to be ready.

Finally, at that 0.1 second, everything was ready.

attack!

Beyond any reaction time, the attacks from the five top-tier mages were timed so perfectly that Lu Suo had no chance to react.

As expected, both hearts were shattered simultaneously in the explosion.

After its head was cut off, the monster, which was over fifty meters tall, shrunk to about thirty meters. At the same time, a huge hole was opened in its body, and a black liquid of cursed power flowed down, corroding the surrounding environment.

This time, however, the injury did not begin to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the monster also fell into a state of paralysis similar to a power outage.

This is its weakness. Such a huge size and so many attack methods mean that it requires a lot of attention. With two brains responsible for calculations destroyed at the same time, without the control terminal, this huge body is no different from a target.

This is true.

The monster's body did not fall; it remained standing there, but it was like a building whose load-bearing walls had been removed—the outer shell was still there, but the interior had collapsed.

The Demon Void finally demonstrated its power, beginning to truly 'disassemble' this thing bit by bit.

The monster's body began to tilt, and under Moxu Luo's attack, it began to collapse like a sawed-down tree.

The gun barrels were still spinning, but they were spinning slower and slower, and they stopped firing.

The impeached soul awoke, but it was useless. Without the replenishment of its magical power and without its brain operating the "Reversal Spell," it could do nothing but wait for the end to come.

It wasn't going to rebel any further; it simply began communicating with Lu Suo's soul.

"You failed."

"Are you going to blame me?"

"No, this reality only proves that our era should not have come at this time, or that our era never existed at all."

"Oh, you're so open-minded about it?"

"The louhu is right about one thing: we spirits are more 'pure' than humans. But perhaps it is precisely because of this 'purity' that humans can only call simple that we spirits cannot become the rulers of the world."

"Human beings are complex, and the power created by this complexity makes even the most powerful curses irresistible."

"Perhaps only such complex humans can tenaciously survive in this complex world."

"The argument has been concluded; I should now go find the water clocks."

"Then I'll come with you. You don't mind having a companion, right? We're practically partners after all."

"..."

There was some hesitation in the impeachment process, but it wasn't because they disliked the other party.

"If we separate now, you should still be able to survive."

That's right. Although it has already merged with the body, it is still a "partner" that helps me achieve my goals. If I give up everything that belongs to this body, I can help this curse master break free.

After all, it still has the power of the spell and the magic formula. Although it can't control the giant, it can still control parts of the body, and it doesn't mind doing so.

But Lu Suo refused.

"There's no need anymore. Like I said, it was all just an interest. I've seen what I wanted to see. Just as you said, even the strongest curse can't sever the future of humanity. I've also seen the possibility of a curse. My interest is over, and I should take a break."

Lu Suo's actions were all driven by interest, and her only interest was to see where the upper limit of the curse was. Now that she had seen it, she was satisfied and did not mind her ending.

Or rather, she was already quite content to have such a spectacular ending instead of dying in some deserted little house.

"In that case, let's go."

In the exchange between souls, lies do not exist. The impeachment felt Lu Suo's sincerity, and since that was the case, then so be it.

The two souls made a pact, and the monster gave up all struggle.

Even if a creature has become a living being, lost its core, and its soul has dissipated, it will still leave behind a physical body.

The group noticed something amiss and sensed that the enemy had given up resistance. However, to avoid any unforeseen complications, they launched their own attacks, determined to destroy the entire body of this behemoth.

We must not allow any uncertainty to reappear in the real world.

With this in mind, the group launched a full-scale attack.

Finally, with the Yue people's forging fire burning everything to finish them off, this monster, which could theoretically destroy humanity, was completely wiped out by the group.

Finally, the Yue man collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

The Wuyuan Sword System also began to crumble, and with a flash of white light, everyone returned to reality.

Yi Gu wanted to step forward to help, but Yue Ren waved him off, refusing the white energy that was stuck to his hand.

He was just a little exhausted after his spell power was depleted; he wasn't injured and didn't need the "reversal spell".

Moth and the others emerged from behind the ruins. The headmaster, who was in charge, looked at the unharmed group and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seniors, teachers, everyone is so amazing!"

The happiest of all, Huzhang, ran all the way here, wanting to give everyone a big hug.

But everyone instinctively moved aside, so he ended up face-planting in the mud.

"Why is this happening... (╥﹏╥)"

"Hahaha... Sorry, Yuujin, it was just an instinctive reaction after the battle..."

Upon hearing Gojo Satoru's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Finally, it was all over.
