Ignoring the shocked expressions of those around him,
Bai Chuan’s tone shifted.
He spoke with a hint of killing intent, “I’m serious about becoming a demon.”
“But, I need a little help from you all.”
“That is, would you be willing to give me the blood in your bodies?”
At this moment, both Kokushibo and Nishiki Ichiro understood.
Bai Chuan wasn’t seeking reconciliation.
Instead, he wanted to kill everyone present.
Or, to be killed by everyone present.
After making his intentions clear, the atmosphere in the courtyard became tense.
At this time, Kokushibo stood up again.
Placing his right hand on the hilt of his sword on his left side, he said to Bai Chuan, “Make your move.”
“Let me see just how strong the one who claims to surpass Yoriichi Tsugikuni truly is.”
Facing Kokushibo’s challenge,
Bai Chuan didn’t refuse. He said calmly, “Alright, let’s go.”
Nishiki Ichiro was also quite perceptive and stepped back a bit.
Leaving the battlefield to these two.
Mainly because Nishiki Ichiro specialized in sneak attacks.
He also wanted to see the power that Bai Chuan wielded.
The power known as Sun Breathing.
Just how powerful was it.
..
There were no fancy tricks.
No flashy special effects.
Accompanied by the sound of the sword unsheathing and the air burning,
A round of red blade light swiftly flashed past.
Then, Kokushibo’s motion of swinging his sword simply stopped.
“Is this blade of mine stronger than Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s?”
As the person involved,
Kokushibo knew better than anyone else how terrifying Bai Chuan’s previous blade was.
It was a silent blade, a domineering blade.
Unstoppable, unresistible, unavoidable.
For Kokushibo, and even for anyone in this world,
This blade was the blade of death.
Encountering it, there was only one outcome, death.
Even if Yoriichi Tsugikuni was resurrected, he wouldn’t be able to block this blade.
This was the peak of Breathing Technique.
It was a peak that surpassed Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
“If you were born in Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s time, how wonderful it would have been.”
Kokushibo muttered.
If Bai Chuan had lived in Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s time,
The one who would have become a god
Would no longer be Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
But Bai Chuan.
Then, he and Yoriichi Tsugikuni would still be very good brothers.
He wouldn’t have become envious and gone mad, ultimately turning into a demon.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
As Kokushibo’s words fell,
His upper body shattered in an instant.
He was directly bisected by Bai Chuan’s blade.
Back then, he bisected Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s body.
And now, Bai Chuan bisected him.
It could be considered repayment for learning Sun Breathing.
Then, Bai Chuan, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything,
Raised his hand and pointed it towards Kokushibo’s body.
Under the pull of a force,
The demon king blood within Kokushibo’s body
Constantly began to flow into Bai Chuan’s palm.
In the end, this large amount of demon king blood transformed into a crystal-clear blood essence gem.
And Bai Chuan, without any hesitation,
Directly swallowed this blood essence gem.
The instant it entered his stomach,
This blood essence gem exploded with a bang.
Turning into countless streams of heat, they surged towards all parts of Bai Chuan’s body.
But before it could change Bai Chuan’s body structure,
It was first swallowed by Bai Chuan himself.
He eliminated impurities and absorbed everything beneficial to him.
The useless parts were directly discarded.
Within a few seconds, Bai Chuan had completely refined Kokushibo’s demon king blood.
His own physique had also grown stronger by several levels.
After doing all this,
Bai Chuan’s gaze turned to Nishiki Ichiro.
He grinned and said, “Your turn.”
“Fellow!”
At this moment, in the eyes of Nishiki Ichiro and the others,
Bai Chuan was more like a demon than a demon.
Even Muzan Kibutsuji would have to call you a bro, man.
.....
As a veteran Reincarnator who had gone through three cycles of reincarnation,
Nishiki Ichiro felt very superior when facing a newbie who was entering the world of reincarnation for the first time.
But this sense of superiority was mercilessly shattered when facing Bai Chuan.
Bai Chuan was too exaggerated, too unlike a human.
How could a newcomer entering the world of reincarnation for the first time
Be this explosively powerful?
Just one glance made Nishiki Ichiro feel a sense of terror.
What the heck kind of oppressive feeling is this?
Sure enough, are all newcomers monsters?
In reality, veteran Reincarnators
Aren’t necessarily particularly strong.
Because the strength accumulated in the world of reincarnation is limited.
But Bai Chuan was different.
Possessing the “Omniscient and Omnipotent” talent,
He could, in the shortest amount of time.
Devour all the power in an entire world.
It could be said that Bai Chuan’s accumulation from one cycle of reincarnation
Was equivalent to the accumulation of those ordinary Reincarnators
From several, or even more, cycles of reincarnation.
Under these circumstances,
Unless Bai Chuan was suddenly killed upon entering the world of reincarnation,
Otherwise, his rate of growth would far surpass all Reincarnators.
Nishiki Ichiro was just the first veteran Reincarnator he surpassed.
But he was definitely not the last.
....
To be fair,
The strength of Nishiki Ichiro and his group was actually quite strong.
Not only did each of them have powerful Blood Demon Arts,
They also possessed unique “Talents” specific to Reincarnators.
Under the enhancement of “Talents,”
These Reincarnators could often unleash extraordinary power.
Plus, there were many of them.
If they really fought,
Nishiki Ichiro and his group would have a chance to kill Kokushibo.
But unfortunately, they were facing Bai Chuan.
At this point, Bai Chuan had undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle of the “Demon Slayer” world.
The apex of the Breathing Technique system.
Afterwards, every step he took forward
Would be an expansion of the ceiling of this world.
Even if Yoriichi Tsugikuni was resurrected, he would only be his subordinate.
How could Nishiki Ichiro and his group possibly contend with such strength?
In the end, under Bai Chuan’s blade light,
Nishiki Ichiro and the others all met the same fate as Kokushibo.
Even though some of them, before dying,
Desperately begged for mercy from Bai Chuan,
Bai Chuan didn’t hesitate at all.
With a flick of his wrist, he chopped Nishiki Ichiro and his “companions” into pieces.
After finishing, Bai Chuan absorbed all the demon king blood into his body.
Feeling his physique growing stronger again,
Bai Chuan laughed.
However, what made Bai Chuan slightly depressed was that
His unique “Blood Demon Art” still hadn’t awakened.
“Blood Demon Art” was an ability possessed by every demon.
Generally, the type of “Blood Demon Art” was related to one’s desires.
The more one yearns for something, the easier it is for a similar Blood Demon Art to awaken.
And possessing a Blood Demon Art was considered a true transformation into a demon.
But for now, Bai Chuan still hadn’t become a demon.
“I remember the original story mentioned that the stronger the being, the longer it takes to transform into a demon.”
“When Kokushibo transformed into a demon, it took him three days.”
“As for me, it will probably take a few months.”
Bai Chuan thought to himself.
