Whether Vast Endowment was Kenjaku's Domain Expansion or Suguru Geto's Domain Expansion.
Eiji had pondered this question more than once since arriving in this world.
After joining Jujutsu High last year, Eiji had kept an eye out for clues while learning about various Summoned Spirits and Barrier Techniques.
The name Kenjaku comes from a Buddhist ritual implement used in combat.
It has the function of converting and subduing.
It's no wonder Yuki Tsukumo would joke that despite having a name that means to enlighten all beings, the things he does are more evil than the last; it's truly ironic.
The two characters, "Taizo" (Womb of the Universe), also come from Esoteric Buddhism.
According to Esoteric Buddhism, everything in this world is a manifestation of Mahavairocana Buddha, and the Diamond Realm and the Womb Realm are two such manifestations of this world.
One represents wisdom and virtue, the other represents reason.
And the Womb Realm within this is the prototype for Kenjaku's Domain Expansion.
Vast Endowment means to contain all beings, like children gestating in a mother's womb.
The great tree in the center of Vast Endowment, bearing countless twisted faces, is Gege Akutami's representation of the Womb Realm.
After learning the origins of the words Kenjaku and Vast Endowment, Eiji looked back at Kenjaku's life.
For a thousand years, he continuously created Cursed Objects by turning the strong individuals and Cursed Spirits of each era into them, and then reviving them in the new era through flesh reincarnation. Could this act be seen as turning these people into "fetuses" and allowing them to be reborn in the new world?
Coupled with Kenjaku's ultimate goal.
To assimilate Master Tengen and all non-Jujutsu Sorcerers in the Island Nation, thereby giving birth to a Cursed Spirit with the Cursed Energy of 100 million people.
This also aligns with the "mother's womb gestating children" aspect of Vast Endowment.
Therefore, Kenjaku's entire life is actually contained within the four words "Vast Endowment."
The moment Eiji saw Kenjaku form hand seals, he felt a sense of dread.
"Domain Expansion: Vast Endowment."
"Domain Expansion: Abyssal Dark Veil Court."
A great tree covered in countless twisted faces sprouted from beneath Kenjaku's feet.
The two Crimson Hounds pursuing Kenjaku were instantly distorted and destroyed.
Eiji's shadow rapidly expanded, transforming into a pitch-black abyss, from which countless Summoned Spirits crawled out.
"Oh?"
Kenjaku's eyes narrowed slightly.
When he saw Eiji activate his Domain Expansion, Kenjaku had intended to directly use the characteristic of his open Domain Expansion to destroy the outer shell of Eiji's Domain.
This would have broken Eiji's Domain and caused his Cursed Technique to overload.
However, Eiji did not fully expand his Domain. Instead, like Megumi Fushiguro, he used an incomplete Domain to neutralize the sure-hit effect of Kenjaku's Domain.
This surprised Kenjaku.
The shadows of the abyss spread across the ground, and countless Summoned Spirits crawled out of the abyss, attacking all enemies in the area.
Even Qiongqi, who had been severely injured and unable to be summoned for a short time, was summoned again under the effect of the Domain.
"I see, you want to deal with the Bone Woman and Jorōgumo first, but I won't let you succeed."
Anti-gravity mechanisms activated, and the Toads, Rabbit Escapes, and other Summoned Spirits that approached Kenjaku were all crushed and immobilized.
"It will take some more time to destroy the opponent's Domain, huh."
"Then I'll just destroy you directly."
Kenjaku charged into the land covered by the abyss.
Waves of invisible attacks shattered Eiji's Summoned Spirits.
Bang.
Kenjaku looked strangely at Eiji, whose head he had just blown off.
He hadn't expected his decapitation attempt to be so smooth.
The next moment, the Eiji in front of him turned into a puddle of shadow.
"A shadow?"
"Yes, it's a shadow."
Eiji's voice came from behind Kenjaku.
Simultaneously appearing was the towering figure of Mahoraga.
There's no room for pride or etiquette in a life-or-death battle.
Having summoned Mahoraga again, Eiji did not hesitate to ambush Kenjaku.
Bang.
Kenjaku was sent flying dozens of meters by Mahoraga's fist, his right arm directly broken by Mahoraga's immense power.
The Reverse Cursed Technique began to operate, and Kenjaku's injuries healed rapidly.
Mahoraga clearly wouldn't give Kenjaku time to recover.
The Demon-Slaying Sword left a massive wound on Kenjaku.
"Such potent positive energy, no wonder it could kill a Special Grade Cursed Spirit in one blow. If I were a Cursed Spirit, I would have been completely annihilated by that strike just now."
Kenjaku couldn't help but exclaim.
Mahoraga didn't react to Kenjaku's praise and launched a series of attacks aimed at vital points.
Meanwhile, Eiji was also controlling Qiongqi, biting into the giant spider's abdomen of Jorōgumo.
Its lower body suddenly attacked, Jorōgumo writhed in pain, trying to break free from Qiongqi's entanglement.
Altoria didn't miss this opportunity. With a surge of speed from Mana Burst, she charged in front of Jorōgumo.
The Sacred Sword swung.
Jorōgumo, unable to dodge, was directly sliced down.
"This is really troublesome now."
Kenjaku's figure was disheveled as he continuously dodged Mahoraga's attacks.
The current situation was extremely unfavorable for him.
"I've already bought enough time, it's time to retreat."
Kenjaku took out the last Cursed Object he had.
"I didn't expect to have to use you in the end."
The Cursed Object, like a small white snake, began to swell and soon transformed into a giant serpent with eight heads and eight tails.
The eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi spewed terrifying Cursed Energy.
For a moment, everyone present was caught in the attack of the Yamata no Orochi.
"Hey, hey, what is that?"
This Cursed Spirit was stronger than Jogo.
Eiji had seen Sukuna's Finger and could roughly estimate Sukuna's strength at 8 to 9 fingers.
Therefore, when that Cursed Spirit was causing havoc, Eiji had estimated its strength.
"But it's fine. Mahoraga will win."
Perhaps the words "I don't know if it will win" held some strange magic in this world.
As soon as Eiji finished speaking, he witnessed a miraculous scene.
The Demon-Slaying Sword struck the head of the Yamata no Orochi, and the Yamata no Orochi began to turn into dust and dissipate from its head.
Just as Eiji's face showed a victorious expression, the snake head that was hit by the Demon-Slaying Sword was severed from below.
By severing its head, the Yamata no Orochi was not destroyed by Mahoraga's Demon-Slaying Sword.
Mahoraga, with its 5-meter height, was already considered tall, but in front of the Yamata no Orochi, it was like a child.
The eight snake heads lunged at Mahoraga.
Mahoraga began to move nimbly and used the Demon-Slaying Sword to repeatedly force the Yamata no Orochi to actively sever its own head, preventing it from being destroyed by the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Clink.
Mahoraga began to adapt to the Yamata no Orochi.
However, the Yamata no Orochi also began to adapt to Mahoraga.
As Sukuna had said, Mahoraga was something similar to the Yamata no Orochi.
"An incomplete Yamata no Orochi is no match for Mahoraga, is it?"
While Eiji and Altoria's attention was drawn to the Yamata no Orochi, Kenjaku successfully retreated from the battlefield.
At this moment, Kenjaku, standing at the edge of Jujutsu High's barrier, looked at the Cursed Spirit and Summoned Spirit adapting to each other in the battlefield.
It was clear that in this battle of mutual adaptation, Mahoraga, which had a special effectiveness against Cursed Spirits, had firmly gained the upper hand.
"Forget it, the purpose of buying time has been achieved. Next is to wait for news from Toji Fushiguro's side."
After speaking, Kenjaku placed his hand on the outermost barrier of Jujutsu High.
Soon, Kenjaku opened a door in the barrier.
