The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

He had no idea how long he had been unconscious. If he were fighting other sorcerers, even a second of losing consciousness would be fatal.

What bothered Louhu the most was the terrifying power emanating from King.

Because he knew that King hadn't used any magic at all; he had only been using pure physical strength. Was this really a power that a human could possess?

However, Louhu's most important task right now is to defeat and eliminate the guy in front of him.

"No matter what level of power you possess, it is now insignificant."

He formed a hand seal, and his expression became serious.

"【A coffin sealed within an iron mountain!】"

At the same time, the surrounding ground suddenly began to crack, and scalding magma gushed out from the cracks, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.

It consumes a huge amount of magical power to construct a life-giving field around the user, which is inscribed with a spell. Within the field, the user can obtain status bonuses, and the spell cast on the field will always hit.

There are three ways to deal with this: using spells to counter, forcibly escaping the domain, and suppressing it with one's own domain. Whether or not one can unleash a domain expansion also depends on the type of spell.

The realm of the Leaky Coral is where everyone is placed inside a terrifying volcano.

The boiling magma on the ground emitted terrifying heat, and rocks that kept falling into the magma were reduced to ashes.

"Any ordinary sorcerer who enters my domain will be killed by the intense heat."

Louhu wore a confident smile as he looked at King. Although King seemed capable of withstanding attacks, he knew that Louhu would have the advantage in a prolonged battle.

Within the domain, the power of the technique will be greatly enhanced, and every attack will be guaranteed to hit.

"You should be able to feel the pain of being roasted by the high temperature, with the moisture in your body being evaporated bit by bit!"

Lou Hu's smile grew even more arrogant.

Standing not far in front of him, King maintained a calm expression.

"Is this all the fire is capable of?"

King's voice was deep yet powerful, and the entire ground seemed to tremble along with it.

What are you saying?!

Hearing King mock his prized flames, Louhu spewed flames from his head again, his anger reaching its peak.

But soon, his expression changed as scorching flames enveloped him in an instant, tearing at his body.

This is the flame on King's body!

Countless flames moved with the agility of extra limbs on King's body, something even Louhu couldn't do.

The temperature of the flames King created far exceeded that of Louhu's flames, and Louhu's body was being torn apart, causing him to scream in pain.

A mournful roar echoed through the volcano.

The domain began to crumble, and Louhu, whose body was being devoured by flames, rolled in agony on the ground.

"It's just a volcano; your temperature is nothing compared to the sun's."

King stood in front of Louhu and spoke slowly.

He snapped his fingers, and the flames on Louhu's body disappeared instantly. However, under the Empire's attack, only Louhu's upper body was unharmed.

"You, you monster..."

Louhu said weakly, he hadn't expected that King's fire magic was actually superior to his own.

This kind of physical strength, this kind of power... this shouldn't even be something that humans possess.

Only then did Louhu realize that what Jia Xiayoujie said was true; this guy was not someone he could defeat.

For King, killing Louhu would be an easy task, but he needed to extract some information from Louhu, which is why he spared her life.

King walked up to Louhu, placed his hand on her, and immediately activated his healing ability to read her plans.

He could see several other cursed spirits.

And a familiar figure.

"Zhenren, Hua Yu... and Xia Youjie, so it really is so?"

King narrowed his eyes slightly. Through Louhu's memories, he found the body of Xia Youjie, who had been missing for a long time.

Moreover, he could clearly see the sutures on Xia Youjie's forehead.

This is exactly the same figure that King saw in Fushiguro Megumi's memories.

—A person with sutures on their forehead.

Just by watching this scene, King immediately realized that Xia Youjie was not the real Xia Youjie, but another being that had taken over his body.

"Who could it be? If they take over the body, will Xia Youjie's magical techniques from his lifetime be inherited?"

King fell into thought. At the same time, he was curious: if his guess was correct, why had Xia Youjie, who possessed the ability to manipulate spirits, started cooperating with the spirits? What was his purpose?

Just as he was pondering, countless vines and branches suddenly swept towards him from behind.

Chapter 189: The Four Great Natural Disasters? They Shatter at the slightest touch!

King naturally noticed the attacks from the plants behind him, but he didn't care. The flames on his body alone burned the plants to ashes, making it impossible for them to get close.

"Hua Yu..."

Louhu let out a weak sound from its throat, warning its companions not to approach the king.

Only Louhu, who had just fought with him, knew just how strong King really was.

Louhu is the most powerful of the four cursed spirits, but in front of King, he is just like a toy.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Hua Yu, whose strength is slightly inferior to hers, is even less likely to be a match for him.

Originally, this was supposed to be a solo operation by Louhu, but Huayu was worried about Louhu's safety, so he came along—not only him, but several other cursed spirits also came along, including even the fake Xiayoujie himself.

The fake Natsume knew everything, including Gojo Satoru. He had already figured out a way to seal Gojo Satoru, but he had very limited information about King. He only knew that King had a powerful way to destroy Ryoumen Sukuna, and that was all.

The fake Xia Youjie's true form has lived for a thousand years and knows the major families inside and out. Moreover, the strength of a sorcerer is highly dependent on bloodline, and powerful sorcerers are generally related to their bloodline.

The Gojo, Zenin, Kamo... these families possess special magical inheritances that others cannot learn.

However, Xia Youjie had never heard of King before, and he was very curious about who he was.

He also wanted to know if King was really as strong as Gojo Satoru, as the rumors suggested.

"Insignificant humans, prepare to die!"

King's eyes widened slightly:

"It can actually transmit sound directly into the brain? That's an amazing ability."

In that instant, Hua Yu rushed to King's side, intending to use its speed to save Lou Hu.

However, in King's eyes, no matter how fast Hanako was, she was only as slow as a snail.

Just as Hana was about to touch Louhu, King's fist slammed directly into his back, a heavy punch like a meteorite striking his back.

boom!

With a loud bang, Hua Yu was smashed into the ground like a tree root.

'What kind of power is this?'

The real person and Tuogen standing to the side were shocked by the scene before them. The power that King displayed far exceeded their imagination, even surpassing that of the cursed spirits.

Moreover, this was done without any magical enhancement, relying solely on physical strength to inflict such damage on Hana Yu. How is that possible?

However, Hua Yu was not defeated at this time. Countless tree roots, like giant pythons, crawled up from the ground and attacked directly towards King's location.

This is Hanamichi's technique, which involves growing numerous tree roots from the ground to attack enemies. These massive roots are not manipulated by injecting magical power into physical objects, but rather are objects materialized by Hanamichi through magical power. They can appear or disappear at Hanamichi's will. The larger the attack range of the tree roots, the lower their strength and speed. Conversely, reducing the number and range will increase both strength and speed.

King stood still, his flames swirling like a giant dragon, burning away all the tree roots that Hana had created.

However, Hanami's attacks didn't stop. She launched countless tiny particles at King—cursed seeds that feed on cursed power. The more the enemy defended with cursed power, the stronger the cursed seeds became. The correct way to deal with this was to remove the cursed power defense and simply use the body to withstand the attack. Once hit, the cursed seeds would absorb the host's cursed power and grow. The more the host used cursed magic, the deeper the roots would grow. It could be said that being hit by this attack would essentially render the target incapacitated, making it a very troublesome move.

But this level of attack was nothing to King. He didn't even try to dodge the Flower God's seed. The attack couldn't even penetrate his skin.

Even Hana, a top-tier cursed spirit, never imagined she would encounter such a terrifying monster.

It was as if a mountain peak stood before me.

"You two seem to have a very close relationship."

King looked at Louhu, who was on the verge of death beside him, and slowly said,

"However... now that our positions are different, your attempt to attack me is a death sentence for yourselves. Besides, you were the ones who placed Su Nuo's finger in this school, weren't you?"

In that instant, King's voice became incredibly cold, like that of the Grim Reaper.

"All of you will die here today."

These words put immense pressure on everyone. It seemed as if the real person and the others were about to kneel down, while the fake Xia Youjie was now drenched in sweat.

Having lived for a thousand years, he felt death approaching for the first time.

"reply."

King reached out and gently touched Louhu's tattered body beneath him, and Louhu burst instantly like a balloon.

Now, Hua Yu had no choice. It untied the white cloth covering its left arm, revealing a strange arm—the arm was pitch black, with a huge flower stamen on its shoulder, looking out of place with its entire body, as if it had been pieced together.

Hua Yu leaped down from the rooftop and landed on the ground, pressing his strange left arm tightly against the ground.

At the same time, a massive surge of magical power flowed into its body from beneath the ground, while the trees and flowers on campus had completely withered and died.

Hanami's left arm can absorb the life force of plants and convert it into magical energy. However, this magical energy is not returned to Hanami; instead, it is all poured into the offering flower on his left arm. After receiving a large amount of magical energy, the offering flower gradually blooms, revealing the eye inside. This magical energy can be used to activate spells or expand domains. Because Hanami deeply cherishes nature, he doesn't like to use this ability and usually keeps his left arm covered.

At this moment, the flower on Hana's shoulder was in full bloom, a scarlet red like blood.

Expand your domain and indulge in the wonders of the sea!

"Hui should have already led the others to safety by now."

King thought to himself, then turned his gaze to Hua Yu.

He was already caught in the domain, the ground was covered with blooming flowers, colorful and all over, possessing his soul—and all around him, countless vines suddenly appeared!

Within the domain, the power of spells will increase, and all spells will have a guaranteed hit effect.

The vines, like giant pythons, completely enveloped King, and then with a sudden burst of force—the sound of friction echoed in the air, and even the hardest boulder would be ground into dust in that instant.
