In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

"Your sins are grave."

“But I can help you find relief.”

"It can bring you back to your original state."

"Returning to the most flawless moment, before birth—"

The woman's voice, which could also be called the "Demon Bodhisattva," was melodious and ethereal, like smoke and clouds urging people forward.

This is really not simple.

It was already quite remarkable back then.

Decades have passed, and things have become increasingly complicated!

At a glance, Lu Kang could tell that the scene before him was merely an 'illusion,' but at the same time, he also understood that if those who entered this illusion truly believed in it, then the 'illusion' would become 'real,' and the 'false' would become 'reality.'

This kind of silent, undetectable magic, which integrates into consciousness, is even more terrifying than the 'Seat of the Demon King' from back then.

It is still an 'inherent boundary', but it is closer to the essence of 'illusory manifestation'.

He truly is a person with the potential to be both a 'Buddha' and a 'demon'.

She truly has the potential to become a 'beast of human love'.

"It seems you've made great progress over the past few decades!" Lu Kang said calmly, offering a sharp critique.

The 'Heavenly Demon' smiled charmingly and compassionately: "It's all thanks to you—thanks to 'Louis'."

"I witnessed an even more incredible 'wonderful realm'."

What the demons see is completely different from what the monks and nuns see!

"I am stronger now than I was back then."

"Even if Your Majesty combines the 'mystery' of Luvist and Victoruval, you will not be my match."

"Don't struggle, let me help you achieve liberation."

"Helping you complete your 'return'—"

Returning to the origin, returning to the 'mother body'.

"You are the only one who has received this honor."

The black mud surged even more violently, and the towering, folded body of the 'Demon Bodhisattva' brought another surge of white mud that seemed to be about to approach Lu Kang in an instant.

Lu Kang suddenly laughed.

Kichijou-in Kihara was right; she is stronger now than she was back then.

Back then, before she fell into the 'Heavenly Demon,' she was already a thousand times stronger than Luvist before the collapse of the Tsarist Empire—

Although that was partly because Lu Kang's magic was still in its infancy and his mental magic was not yet fully developed, and Lu Weister's life's work was only just beginning, even Lu Kang at that time was already a magician who had surpassed the Mage's Association's rank of monarch.

This does not diminish her already terrifying mystique at the time.

She honed herself through millennia of accumulation, possessing a mystique that rivals even fantastical beings like elves, and a mystery surpassing that of gods.

After falling into demonic possession, they transform into 'Heavenly Demons' and 'True Demons,' becoming even more comparable to extraordinary 'gods.'

Now, after decades of accumulation, it has fully acquired a much larger scale, approaching that of a 'higher deity'.

Although we are still far from being true 'Buddha' or true 'Bodhisattva'.

It is also a long way from the beast of human love.

However, it is not comparable to the dual ultimate crown foundation.

It cannot be compared to the sum of 'Luvist' and 'Tuvar'.

however.

The premise is that Lu Kang only has these two layers.

The premise is.

That's all he is!

"If I were to say that I am not only Louis Vest and Viktorval—"

"And it's even 'Sugawara no Hajime'?"

"Yaboku-ni!"

Lu Kang suddenly spoke up.

The incredibly familiar tone, the incredibly familiar yet even more ancient mystery, suddenly caused Kichijou Inohara to pause slightly as he bent down, and then his eyes widened!

Chapter 160 The Lord of Demons Subdues Demons, the Burial Mechanism is Torn Apart at the First Corner

Before Kichijoin Kihara was called Kichijoin Kihara, she had already lived for nearly a thousand years.

Her origins, in fact, lie on this very land where she stands right now.

This area, located in the 'Far East' of the world, is called 'Yamato', an island nation surrounded by the sea on all sides.

Her original name is no longer remembered by anyone, not even by herself.

All I remember is that because she lived for such a long time, exceeding the age of 800 of the mythical Peng Zu, she was called the "800 Bhikkhuni" – or perhaps because she was always fair and flawless, she was called the "White Bhikkhuni".

But none of these are her real names, and she doesn't care what her real name is.

During this extremely long period of time, she performed her duties diligently, and the number of extraordinary people and events she saw, heard, and encountered was countless.

She had met Kamo no Tadakuni, the founder of Shugendo, more than 1,400 years ago.

She had also met the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, who laid the foundation for the Onmyodo, a thousand years ago.

She had witnessed the decline of the Emperor's power, the Yamato Kingdom under the regency of Fujisekika, the rise of the Minamoto clan to establish the samurai shogunate, and the chaotic Warring States period, including the time of Oda Nobunaga.

Her name, Kichijoin Kihara, was established after all this, after a long period of time, combining her own insights, as the 'Shingon no Soko' (or 'True Word Sect'), the headquarters of the Tachikawa school, Kichijoin, in an attempt to save the world.

She named herself Kichijoin, praying that the desolate world would be free of sin.

But she herself knew that she created the 'Tachikawa School' primarily for her own benefit.

In order to eradicate the shadow cast by Sugawara no Hajime, the "Peacock Prince," who was defined as another great Onmyoji no less than Abe no Seimei a thousand years ago, and who also possessed the identities of a writer, politician, and reformer, and who lived in seclusion at the foot of Mount Fuji in his later years—a figure rarely seen throughout history—during his "Zen meditation and discussions."

The 'demon seed' planted in their own minds.

Perhaps that's why.

The 'Tachikawa School' is named as a branch of the Shingon sect of Zen Buddhism, but it is not recognized and is defined as a 'cult'.

Kichijoin Kihara thus traveled far away and came into contact with esoteric Buddhism.

That's how he eventually joined them.

Join the 'Burying Agency'.

Without Sugawara no Hajime, Kichijouin Kiara might still be Kichijouin Kiara, but she most likely wouldn't have gone to another country to join the esoteric religion. She might have become a 'Buddha' or a 'Bodhisattva', but she most likely wouldn't have become a 'Heavenly Demon'.

Therefore, Kichijouin Kiara both hated and loved Sugawara Hajime.

Yes—hate is a given, and so is love.

Because it showed her a different path, because of the 'demon seed' it planted, Kichijoin Kihara embarked on a completely different path.

Originally, the path she walked was one where she saw no one but all living beings.

And now.

On this road, however, one is all alone.

And the false 'sentient beings' reflected in one's own eyes.

Love the world, because you only love yourself.

Extreme selfishness is also extreme selflessness.

Is the ultimate 'selflessness' also the ultimate 'selfishness'?

However, a thousand years have passed, and the people of the past have long since vanished. Kichijoin Kihara does not feel that she has the opportunity to express her hatred and love that are different from the past. She is also certain that Sugawara no Hajime has died in a mountain called 'Garazuchi', and that after his death, a world-renowned 'Demon Slayer' Kintaro emerged.

Sugawara no Hajime had no descendants.

Kichijouin Kihara felt that she might never encounter anyone in this world with whom she had a direct connection again.

At least that was the case until now.

before today.

At this moment—before!

Amidst the surging tides of black mud, the colossal 'Demon Bodhisattva' descended before him, facing the turbulent ocean of tides. Lu Kang, instead of retreating, advanced as if the endless black mud beneath his feet was boiling over in an instant.

It was boiling over, yet endlessly rioting and running rampant.

It surged, and throbbed with boundless energy.

It was as if they too were afraid.

They are also afraid of something.

They are afraid...

The place that was once called the 'Lord of All Demons'!

Boom!

With a single thought, all things are stirred. In an instant, countless evil thoughts bloomed under the mental operation of the two hundred and seventy-two divine thoughts circulating within Lu Kang's body. Even without the support of the curse spirit system, relying on the absolute essence and mysterious specifications of the triple cycle, Lu Kang was still able to recreate the scene from that year.

It can recreate that moment when a flower bloomed.

as well as.

A single thought can create a life.

From the spirit, another spirit will be born!

For the first time in real-world combat, Lu Kang fully implemented the triple cycle.

In that instant, mystery and power were revealed.

He used a triple cycle, layering it upon layer.

Join forces again.

As a result, the black mud that filled the sky seemed to be given a brief life in an instant. It began to break free from the control of 'Kichijoin Kihara' and began to run rampant.

Thus, the posture of Kichijoin Kihara bending down was like black mud suddenly collapsing and crumbling.

This is strikingly similar to, yet different from, the magic trick of Kichijoin Kihara's "Tōsetsu-tō no Tō no Tō" (The Turning of the Beads) – a more ingenious method.

She glared.

Fright, anger, and terror.

Also more.

A look of surprise and delight!

This endless black mud is formed from the desires of all living beings; it is 'desire' and even more so, 'evil'.

This infinite 'evil' can be instantly controlled by Lu Kang.

He had already done far too much and excessively in the Heian period, using evil thoughts to transform 'evil spirits'.

With such familiarity with the terrain, no one could stop him.

Even before Kichijouin Kihara could react, everything had already come to an end.

[It is the Lord of good spirits]

[And indeed, everything, the king of evil.]

The Book of Secrets

...

Lu Kang withdrew his hand.

A wisp of black smoke rose from his palm, and the endless black mud and boundless evil thoughts vanished in the blink of an eye in his hand.

The 'Demon Throne' retreated once again.
