Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

But at this moment, after recalling what Douma said before his death, Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly realized that there must be something wrong with this flower, and it might even be the culprit for his current appearance. However, Muzan Kibutsuji still couldn't figure out how Baihen did it.

The battle with Muzan Kibutsuji has come to an end, so we will not discuss his fate for now.

When the war between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons was at its climax, the appearance of White Scar caused the pupils of Kokushibo's six eyes to shrink. His mind was shocked and the moves he performed had a huge flaw, and the Rock Pillar seized the opportunity to give him a heavy blow.

However, the attack of the Rock Pillar was of little use to it. As the strongest demon after Muzan Kibutsuji, it would not die even if its neck was cut off. The only things that could kill it were the sun and the strongest breathing method, Sun Breathing, which was the ancestor of breathing methods.

Even it is like this, and the most powerful demon, Muzan Kibutsuji, is even more like this. That's why Kokushibo is so puzzled. Why did Baihen escape from the battle with Muzan Kibutsuji and come to this place in such a short time? What happened there? !

"Leave it to me, you go deal with the other ghosts. The problem of Muzan Kibutsuji has been solved by me, and no new ghosts will be born from now on." Bai Hen waved to Rock Pillar and others, indicating that he wanted to enjoy the experience alone.

"Yes!" Although everyone had already guessed it when they saw Bai Hen appear, after hearing Bai Hen's assurance with their own ears, everyone's spirits suddenly became excited and they responded in unison, feeling that even killing ghosts had become more motivated.

"That guy Muzan Kibutsuji is too weak, so you will be the one to play with me on his behalf." Bai Hen finally pulled out the Nichirin Sword from his waist. It was still the half-finished product from before, but as Bai Hen's left hand brushed across the blade, the biting coldness turned it into a real treasure sword.

"Don't talk nonsense here! If you really defeated Lord Muzan, how could I be standing here intact? Type 1: Dark Moon: Palace of the Night!" Kokushibo stared at Baihen with three pairs of eyes, raised his hand and launched a powerful slash.

"Of course it's because Muzan is still useful, so he can't die here. Ice Breathing·Form 1·Falling into the Nine Abyss." Bai Hen also swung out a sword energy with a chilling chill to confront Kokushibo's Moon Breathing, and then the two collided and canceled each other out.

"How can you possibly defeat Lord Muzan with your strength? Form Eight: Moon Dragon Wheel Tail!" Kokushibo still couldn't accept this fact and swiftly swung his sword at Baihen.

"If you still don't want to accept the reality and keep dwelling on such trivial matters, then that's too boring. Type One: Falling into the Nine Abysses." Bai Hen used the same move to break Kokushibo's new move, and then began to approach it.

"Ten Type·Piercing Slash·Razuki!" Kokushibo unleashed two huge circles of blades in the shape of an elliptical saw, continuously cutting in front of Shirohen as if to block his way.

"Breath of Ice, Form Two, Ice Roar." A roaring dragon head flew out from in front of the Sun Blade wielded by Baihen, opened its mouth, and sent out an extremely cold breath mixed with a large number of fine ice crystals towards Kokushibo's face-piercing slash.

The freezing air not only broke the blade used by Kokushibo, but the scattered ice crystals also flew towards Kokushibo's position.

Although the ice crystals did not seem to pose any threat, Kokushibo did not dare to take it lightly and immediately used a sword skill that could destroy everything around it for defense: "Land Form·Changye Lone Moon·Mujian."

"Breathing of Ice·Form Three·Brilliant Smooth Blade." A layer of fine blade teeth condensed from water vapor in the air began to spin wildly on the blade of the Byakukan Nichirin Sword. This move, which displayed the Form Three of the Light Stream in the form of an ice blade, broke through Kokushibo's defense like a whirlwind and slashed in front of it.

However, although Baihen's move was very powerful, he was still facing Kokushibo, who had mastered the transparent world and was even good at using medium-range slashes through Moon Breathing to fight his enemies. At this time, he was somewhat glad that Baihen intended to engage in close combat with him, because this way he could see Baihen's body more clearly and predict his movements.

The transparent world is an ability that can only be obtained after martial arts reach a certain level in the Demon Slayer world. It is the proof that martial arts have reached the highest level.

After opening the transparent world, the user's speed in predicting movements and dodging attacks will be greatly improved, and the user's own muscle contractions can be felt faster and more clearly. The user can also clearly see the rise and fall of the opponent's lungs and the flow and contraction of blood vessels, thereby seeing the opponent's movements and weaknesses clearly.

Kokushibo's six eyes were fixed on every change of Baihen's body, and his body also responded to Baihen's movements. He raised his right hand, which was holding the weapon, slightly, intending to chop off Baihen's head here.

Chapter 264: New Era (Demon Slayer Complete)

Kokushibo felt that he was in the best condition ever. The six eyes under the transparent world could see Baihen's every move clearly. As long as Baihen swung his sword, it would take this opportunity to chop off Baihen's head.

However, it noticed that Bai Hen's face suddenly showed a hint of sarcasm, and a disdainful voice came out of his mouth: "Ha."

"Breathing of Ice·Type 1·Luo Jiuchuan!" An ice-blue sword shadow swept across Kokushibo's neck. It was still waiting for Baihen to reveal a flaw and was completely unable to react. It was not until its head flew high that it realized what had just happened.

"I was... beheaded? How did it manage to make that cut just now? Did I just lose like that?" A lot of doubts flashed through Kokushibo's head as it spun in the air. It couldn't understand what had just happened.

"Call it confidence or call it arrogance. In short, people like you who have sufficient confidence in your abilities are more likely to find flaws. Are you wondering why my movements are different from what you see in the transparent world?" Bai Hen threw the Nichirin Sword in his hand, pierced it into Kokushibo's forehead and nailed him to the ground, then said.

"It's because you believe in the transparent world too much and rely too much on this ability that you were easily fooled by me. You are obviously just a numerical monster who hardly plays in high-end games and can only bully noobs. You don't trust your own numbers and insist on playing with me. You haven't used this mechanism many times. Tsk."

In all the time that Kokushibo has lived, the only time it could be called a high-end game was the time when it was almost killed instantly by Yoriichi Tsugikoku. Apart from that, in the past few hundred years, even if some powerful pillars occasionally appeared in the Demon Slayer Corps, they might not be able to stand in front of it. Even if they did, it would be easy to win with its basic qualities as an Upper Rank One.

The transparent world, which is theoretically the embodiment of the highest level of martial arts in the Demon Slayer world, cannot be trained or play its due role in it at all. It has almost no enemies and naturally will not think about what can be supplemented or changed based on the transparent world.

It is also possible that it once existed, but gave up after realizing that it was meaningless. Anyway, it is almost invincible under Muzan Kibutsuji, and it has no enemies at all unless Yoshiichi Tsugaru is reincarnated.

However, in its heart, the existence of Tsugakuni Yoriichi was too great, so great that even the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji was no match for him, and so great that Kokushibo could not think of any possibility of defeating him no matter how hard he racked his brains, let alone imagine that there would be a second Tsugakuni Yoriichi in this world.

So, Kokushibo, who obviously didn't know how to use it but trusted the transparent world too much, was easily deceived by Baihen. Baihen simply manipulated the surface of his muscles and blood vessels to make their movements look more in line with Baihen's actions at the time.

And under the cover of those surface movements, Baihen just lightly swung his Nichirin Sword and easily cut off Kokushibo's head. Relying on the transparent world to overcome normal senses, it didn't even react until its head flew into the sky.

Humans are naturally unable to do what Bai Hen did just now. Even though being able to control any muscle or skin in the body is enough to be considered a natural talent, controlling internal organs and even blood vessels is simply a fantasy.

As for hiding one's true actions under the disguised activities of muscles and blood vessels, that is something that normal humans cannot even imagine in their dreams.

Although Kokushibo, or the demons, may not be able to perform such delicate operations as Shirahime, they are undoubtedly more talented in controlling their own bodies than humans. They can still do small things like interfering with the enemy's judgment through certain controls. Of course, the premise here is that the enemy has a transparent world, otherwise it would be like winking at a blind man.

But it is obvious that not many ghosts know about the transparent world, and Kokushibo is the only ghost who can use the transparent world. Naturally, other ghosts cannot think of such a way to deceive the transparent world. After all, Kokushibo's basic Moon Breathing alone is enough to defeat all ghosts except Muzan, and he doesn't need the transparent world at all.

"You haven't seen the sun for a long time, right? Today I will let you see the sunrise of the new era. This will be the sunrise that marks the end of the demon era, and the dawn that marks the beginning of a new era for mankind." Baihen froze Kokushibo's head, making it unable to regenerate, and then left his beloved sword here to seal it.

Muzan Kibutsuji is useful, but Kokushibo is obviously useless. If it weren't for its strong vitality, Baihen would have killed it on the spot. Now all they can do is nail it here and wait for the sun to kill it.

Defeat was inevitable, but Kokushibo was now relaxed. He just kept echoing in his mind what Baihen had just said, thinking about the meaning of what he said about deceiving the transparent world.

After both Muzan Kibutsuji and Kokushibo were defeated by Shirahime, the outcome of this war between humans and demons was already very clear, even if Shirahime did not continue to attack after defeating Kokushibo.

The two Upper-Rank demons that were temporarily promoted, Naruto and a cannon fodder were simply unable to resist the attack of the Pillars. The Lower-Rank demons that were forced to come out would be defeated by the Pillars at the first encounter.

When the balance of power at the top has completely tilted, even a large number of ordinary ghosts cannot change the fate of failure.

With the arrival of the dawn, which symbolizes hope, the demons turned into ashes under the rays of the sun. The surviving members of the Demon Slayer Corps suddenly shouted excitedly, they finally won!

With the high-level combat power crushing them and the unintentional actions at their own base, not many members of the Demon Slayer Corps were killed in the battle. Almost all those with a little strength survived last night's chaos and welcomed the dawn of victory.

Except for two of the pillars with the highest combat power who were accidentally injured seriously and had to retreat to the back during the initial fight against Kokushibo, the other pillars can be said to be completely mowing down the demon group.

If it weren't for the fact that although Mingnu's blood demon art had low killing power, it was extremely annoying and difficult to deal with, it could be said that the reason why the group of ghosts could hold out until dawn and not be wiped out was largely due to Mingnu's credit.

However, although Zhan Guo was impressive, this battle did not destroy all the ghosts. Some clever ghosts quietly slipped away during the melee. Mingnu, who controlled the Infinite City, also escaped through the Infinite City when she saw that the situation was not good, and became the only surviving Crescent Moon ghost.

Because there were still some remaining demons including Naruto, the Demon Slayer Corps did not disband but continued to search for the remnants of the demons. However, the demons who survived were smarter and more cautious than each other.

Mingnu, who controls the Infinite Castle, has become the leader of the remaining demon forces. Although the Demon Slayer Corps, as before, tries their best to find every place where demons may appear, but with little success.

This also caused some members of the Demon Slayer Corps who did not know the truth to complain. They did not understand why they had already defeated Muzan Kibutsuji but they did not disappear together. However, out of trust in the Ubuyashiki clan and the pillars, they chose not to investigate further.

Comrade Muzan Kibutsuji, who is remembered by both humans and demons, is now finally living the life he always dreamed of, where he can bask in the sun every day, although he is as a test subject.

The ice crystal Higanbana of Baihen echoed the blue Higanbana that Muzan Muzan swallowed, and the seal formed on him was exactly the ultimate enhanced version of the seal that Douma had suffered before. The blue Higanbana that grew all over his body from the inside out not only made Muzan Muzan unable to move, but also sealed all his abilities and senses.

Muzan Kibutsuji, who has become a perfect demon who is not afraid of the sun, provided great help to Tamayo and the Butterfly Sisters in their research. He not only developed a drug that can turn demons back into humans, but also developed a drug that allows people to have some of the abilities of demons but without the urge to eat humans.

The former was used by Tamayo on herself and Yushiro on the spot, turning them both back into humans.

The latter is still under experimentation and optimization. After all, they have only been deprived of the urge to eat humans. Whether the characteristic of demons becoming stronger by eating humans is retained is another matter. The Demon Slayer Corps naturally cannot let the experimenters eat humans in order to verify this hypothesis, so Tamayo and the Butterfly Sisters are still optimizing it further.

The experimenter of the latter drug was none other than Ubuyashiki Kōya, who was cursed and had not much time left. Because Muzan Kibutsuji completed his evolution and was captured alive by Shirayuki, the curse of the Ubuyashiki clan did not disappear like in the original work, but instead became more severe.

The second drug developed by Tamayo was to save Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's life. In the end, under the effect of this drug, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's curse was successfully resolved, although the side effect was that it brought some abilities beyond ordinary people.

After returning to normal, Ubuyashiki Yoya is well aware of the danger and importance of Muzan Kibutsuji. He believes that if the Demon Slayer Corps is disbanded, the existence of Muzan Kibutsuji will most likely be known to those in power, and will cause them to have some desires that they should not have.

So Ubuyashiki Yoya decided to go into politics himself. With the help of the Ubuyashiki family's reputation of slaying demons for thousands of years and the huge power of the Demon Slayer Corps, he became the most powerful noble in Japan in just a few years.

Despite his high position, he still did not change the original intention of the Ubuyashiki clan to protect humanity. Not only did he strengthen the Demon Slayer Corps by studying the safer and more reliable drugs obtained by Muzan to expel the American army from the land of Japan, but he also participated in the defense war against the invaders in the subsequent war as an enemy of Nazi Germany.

After the war, Ubuyashiki Yoya immediately ordered that everything related to Kibutsuji Muzan be sunk into Mount Fuji, completely burying the history of demons and allowing mankind to truly enter a new era.

Chapter 265: Shadow King? Ask my Shadow Army first

"It's beyond the range of magic measurement?! Please wait here for a moment, I will contact the top management of the association immediately." In the Hunter Association of a coastal city that is not too big or too small in Country Z, the staff member in charge of testing the magic power of hunters looked at the handsome man in front of him with surprise and said quickly.

"I'm not in a hurry, take your time." This man was naturally Baihen, who came to the new world in Demon Slayer World after spending several years completing the Pillar Man.

The basic template of this world is a Korean comic "I Level Up Alone", which is a standard Long Aotian cool comic, and the background of the world is also very simple.

The supreme god named "The Absolute" wanted to have fun, so he created two hostile forces named "Rulers" and "Kings" and used the fighting between them to entertain himself. Later, he was killed by the rebellious rulers and made into a magical artifact that can reverse time.

The battle between the rulers and the kings did not stop with the death of the "Absolute". The strongest and most loyal ruler to the "Absolute" joined the "King" camp because he hated other rulers for killing his creator and became the "Shadow King".

However, the overly powerful "Shadow King" was feared by the strongest "King" Dragon Emperor, so he secretly instructed several other "Kings" to betray and attack the Shadow King. As a result, the "Hundred Flame King" died, the "Fang King" ran away, and the "Shadow King" was seriously injured.

After the internal strife among the "kings" ended, the "rulers" appeared. They did not kill the "Shadow King" out of old friendship and let him go, and then continued to wage war against other "kings".

Then the "Shadow King" felt that he was betrayed first by the rulers and then by the king. He was at a loss as to what to do, so he hid himself.

The kings suffered heavy losses due to internal strife and were defeated by the Rulers as expected. However, the Shadow King rejoined the Kings to fight against the Rulers.

The kings who started the war again secretly chose the Earth, where there was no magic power, as the new battlefield, which directly led to the destruction of the Earth under the ravages of the kings. Even if the rulers could defeat the kings again, it was too late. The Earth had become a dead place.

So the rulers activated a divine artifact called the Holy Grail of Time made from the corpse of the "Absolute", and used the divine power of the artifact to reverse the time of the whole world to ten years ago, in order to make up for their regret of not being able to save the earth.

But the invasion of the kings was inevitable, and the rulers had no ability to stop them from spreading the war to the earth, so they decided to find another way to save the earth.

Since the destruction of the Earth due to being caught up in a war between two sides is an inevitable future, the rulers' new idea is to try to enable the people on Earth to have the ability to survive the war.

In order to achieve this goal, they created portals in every corner of the earth where monsters would appear, and infused a large amount of "magic power" into the earth, so that the people on earth could awaken and become hunters under the influence of magic. People who became hunters and possessed more powerful powers naturally had hope of surviving the inevitable war.

On the other hand, those who did not awaken their magic power to become hunters were almost doomed to die. In order to awaken as many people as possible, the rulers had to increase the concentration of magic power on Earth as much as possible.

The method chosen by the rulers is to control the armies of magic beasts under the kings, and let the magic beasts become carriers of magic power and appear on the earth through portals. Every magic beast killed by the hunters will make the concentration of magic power on the earth slightly higher.

Then, in order to make human hunters kill as many Warcraft as possible, the rulers issued the order to "kill humans" to almost all the Warcraft under their control, thereby causing an irreconcilable conflict between humans and Warcraft, thereby accelerating the death of Warcraft and thus accelerating the awakening of humans.

Hunters who have awakened their magic powers are now the most respected and powerful profession in the world, because hunters are a group that possesses power, and only hunters have the ability to hunt monsters in portals and protect the masses.

The Hunter Association is a global organization that was born after the portal appeared. Hunters all over the world are awakened and registered by the Hunter Association in order to maintain the basic stability of society and integrate hunters, an important resource.

Hunter awakening is also divided into levels. The levels in other countries are E, D, C, B, A, and S, while Country Z divides hunter levels by star rating. The weakest E-level hunter corresponds to one star, and then the star rating corresponds to the levels of other countries in turn.

And under normal circumstances, a hunter's magic level is fixed for life after awakening, and cannot be improved through training or practice. Only a very small number of people have the possibility of awakening a second time and becoming stronger.

The highest level S-class hunters or the equivalent six-star hunters at S-class are extremely rare even in the entire world. The birth of each hunter of this level will attract great attention and competition from all parties.

In order to give themselves an advantage in competing for S-class hunters, the Hunter Association set the upper limit of the normal magic testing device at the A-class limit. In other words, as long as a magic awakener exceeds the test limit, it can almost be confirmed that he is an S-class hunter.

After hearing that a six-star hunter was born in his jurisdiction, the president of the local Hunter Association immediately dropped all his tasks and rushed to the Hunter Association's reception room to persuade Bai Hen to join the Hunter Association.

"Hello, I'm Jin Boying, the president of the local hunter association." As soon as Jin Boying entered the door, he walked towards Bai Hen and introduced himself to Bai Hen enthusiastically.

"Bai Hen, a new hunter." Bai Hen showed a youthful and polite smile on his face, which was in line with his current identity as an 18-year-old freshly-minted college student.

"I know you young people don't like beating around the bush, so I'll be straight to the point. Are you willing to join the Hunter Association? If you are willing to join the Hunter Association, then all the resources of the Hunter Association will be given priority to you. Please refer to this document for your specific rights and interests." Jin Boying took out a standard document that he had prepared on the way and handed it to Bai Hen.

Originally, this standard document would be supplemented based on the temporary investigation of the target, but facing Bai Hen, who had no parents and no worries and had a car, a house and no worries about food and drink, Jin Boying could not find any suitable additional terms as benefits in a short period of time. He could only hand the standard document to Bai Hen first, and then discuss it according to Bai Hen's ideas in the subsequent conversation.

"Although our Hunter Association may not be able to offer the same prices as those large guilds in terms of salary, as for all the benefits other than salary, those private and public guilds cannot even compare to our Hunter Association." Seeing that Bai Hen turned the document to the salary section, Jin Boying immediately added.

"I'm going to defeat Liu Zhikang. Can you update the terms for me?" Bai Hen roughly flipped through the document and felt that there was no problem. After all, it was equivalent to an S-level, six-star hunter, and people would be vying for him wherever he was placed. The Hunter Association would naturally not compromise on welfare and rights.

But in this world, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger is completely unnecessary and has no benefit. Bai Hen will naturally not be satisfied with the basic model in front of him if he can get something better.

Liu Zhikang, who has the fragment of glory given by the "Ruler" to fight against the "King" in his body, is the only seven-star hunter in Country Z who has broken through the traditional hunter rating. He is also the strongest hunter in Country Z and one of the strongest hunters in the world.

The essence of the Glorious Fragments is the crystallization of the power of the "Rulers". Because they don't want their existence to cause damage to the earth, they choose the compromise method of bestowing power. The "Kings" don't have this worry, and each of them enters in their true form.

"This... may be a little difficult... but if one day in the future you really defeat hunter Liu Zhikang, then all your rights and interests will be renewed. Stronger strength will naturally be worthy of better treatment." Jin Boying thought to himself that he was indeed a young man, with a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. He proposed an almost impossible thing right away.

"That's it for now. I'm joining the Hunter Association." The Hunter Association is indeed the most convenient organization. Bai Hen, who has no interest in money, has no reason to refuse, so he decisively agreed.

"Great! Welcome to join the Hunter Association!" Jin Boying was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be so easy to talk to. He had recruited a promising new six-star hunter for the association. This was another highlight in his book of achievements.

"I'll ask someone to prepare a formal agreement and update your information in the database. By the way, what type of hunter are you?" Jin Boying remembered at this time that he had not yet understood Bai Hen's abilities, so he asked.

"Summoning system." Bai Hen answered casually.

"The summoning system is good." Jin Boying was even more surprised. First of all, excluding the unclear combat power issue, the summoning system has always been a relatively rare category. A six-star hunter in the summoning system may play a huge role at some point, and is more precious than an ordinary awakener.

After a series of tedious matters including signing, press conference, testing, etc., at Baihen's request, the Hunter Association quickly arranged his first dungeon mission for him.

Baihen's first dungeon mission is a four-star or B-level assault mission. Although this level of difficulty is a bit too low for a six-star hunter, it is not that the top leaders of the Hunter Association are targeting Baihen, but that almost all six-star hunters' first mission is at most this level.

After all, not all six-star hunters can adapt to combat. A four-star dungeon can allow these newly awakened hunters to feel the pressure of the dungeon and become familiar with the process of dungeon tasks without putting them in too dangerous a situation.

Even if one is unlucky and encounters an unexpected dungeon upgrade, it is almost impossible for a four-star dungeon to be upgraded to a six-star level. This is the best choice for training newcomers who have just awakened.

Baihen, who was too lazy to argue with the Hunter Association, naturally followed the rules of the association. Anyway, the dungeons in this world were not sure whether they had inherited the Korean characteristics or not, but they were very small in scale, and it would not take long to kill his way through them from beginning to end.

"Hello, I am..." Bai Hen took a car to the four-star portal, and someone came to greet him immediately after he got off the car.

"There's no need to care. I'm in a hurry." Bai Hen knew that this was the team he would lead today, and they were also the members of the Hunter Association who would evaluate his abilities. However, Bai Hen had no interest in these extras who looked like passers-by.

The leader of the extras did not show any dissatisfaction with Bai Hen's attitude. Although the portals and dungeons have only appeared for a short ten years, these ten years are enough to change a lot. The strong have the qualifications to be willful no matter what era, it's just that it is more obvious in this era.

Moreover, the situation in Country Z is already good. Many S-level ability users in other countries are far more arrogant and domineering than those in Country Z. They have even reached the point of trampling on the law and taking human lives. Especially the S-level ability users in some small countries can be called local emperors.

In the eyes of the extras leader, Bai Hen's situation was nothing more than the temporary swell that occurs in many young people when they suddenly gain strength or power. As a former vocational school teacher, he was well-informed and had seen all kinds of weird students, so he was the one standing here today to cooperate with Bai Hen in the mission to clear the dungeon.

The extra leader, who roughly understood Bai Hen's character, stopped talking, turned around and called on his subordinates to gather in front of the portal quickly, and then handed the command of the team to Bai Hen in front of everyone.

Although he will still take over the team in an emergency, as long as there are no major problems, they will fully cooperate with Baihen's orders. The association will then tailor a corresponding education plan for Baihen based on his specific performance in the first dungeon.

"You just need to record my performance carefully and report it. Don't do anything unnecessary." After Bai Hen finished speaking to the extras, he took the lead and stepped into the blue portal.

Behind the portal is a rather dilapidated-looking temple. A weed-covered road extends into the darkness, with no end in sight.

Bai Hen did not act in a hurry, but waited until all the extras behind him entered the dungeon before unleashing his abilities in front of them.
