CHapter-91
After being persuaded to leave Kiyoshi Zenin by 'Sukuna', Kenjaku did not actually give up his own plans.
She knew Sukuna well; he couldn't be considered a qualified partner.
Sukuna, who is more ambitious and more willful than himself, is destined not to act according to his own plans.
Having anticipated this, Kenjaku had actually been researching ways to deal with Sukuna for the past thousand years since Sukuna's death.
The Cursed Womb: Death Paintings is what she summarized after so many years of failures, and it is the most effective way to counter Sukuna.
The principle is quite simple: by taking advantage of the fact that Sukuna needs a container to function and that this weakness cannot be changed, Sukuna is suppressed in terms of both soul and body, thereby gaining further control over Sukuna.
For this reason, she even went so far as to find the reincarnation of the Sukuna twins' souls, namely Yuji Itadori's grandfather, Wasuke Itadori.
Originally, Kenjaku didn't think he could get any clues from the other party, but after observing the soul fluctuations that were extremely similar to Sukuna's body, Kenjaku had already conceived a plan to suppress Sukuna.
Using the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings and the body of Jin's son, a special vessel was created that could perfectly suppress the body of the Sukuna!
Of course, Kenjaku naturally understands the basic common sense that you can't put all your eggs in one basket.
Suppressing the Sukuna container is just one part of the plan.
After Sukuna died of natural causes, her body was refined into a Cursed Object and sent to Tengen for a second round of insurance.
The location of the twenty fingers and the specific method for breaking the seal.
Everything, from the front and back doors of the Prison Realm, was specially prepared by her for Sukuna.
As for that strange little devil, Kiyoshi Zenin, she had originally planned to use him as a trial before the birth of her child.
After all, the aura surrounding her was rather strange, and she wasn't really sure about the specific effects of the innate technique.
However, unless one's combat strength reaches the top level, it is basically of little reference value.
This is also why she was willing to use Zenin Temple Kiyoshi as experimental material.
Besides these two points, her choice of Kiyoshi Zenin as the experimental subject was actually intended to give Tengen some warnings and signals.
I wonder if it's because they've entered the fusion stage of the [Star Plasma Vessel], but Tengen has been making more small moves lately.
She even chose this little devil named Kiyoshi Zenin as the sharp blade to cut off her destiny.
Thinking of this, Kenjaku felt a mix of novelty and amusement. It was astonishing that someone like Tengen could undergo such a dramatic change.
It seems that a thousand years is enough to change countless things.
Recalling those things in his mind, Kenjaku took a big gulp of beer.
AmazonCeraVe Blemish Control Gel With 2% Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide
The slightly cool liquor flowed down her throat and into her stomach. She couldn't help but let out a soft burp and wiped the slightly overflowing foam from the corner of her mouth with her hand.
Things should have gone according to my expectations!
However, that guy Sukuna actually made some kind of pact with that brat Kiyoshi Zenin behind my back!
Don't think she couldn't see it. Judging from Sukuna's reaction at the time, he definitely discovered something from Kiyoshi Zenin's body that she didn't even know.
Those things are most likely what Sukuna values, the path that allows him to find variables in his plan!
Even if he had thought of these things now, it would be almost impossible for Kiyoshi Zenin to do anything more because Sukuna was already inside his body.
If it were only Sukuna's side that was in trouble, that would be fine, but just now, the aura coming from Tengen's side also made Kenjaku feel a little uneasy.
The secret of the [Star Plasma Vessel] is known to only two people in this world.
The first is Tengen herself, and the second is her, who was considered a close friend of Tengen back then.
Although the two eventually parted ways due to differences in their ideals, at that time, Tengen and she still had a good relationship.
Therefore, she knew that the [Star Plasma Vessel] was not a special physique at all, but rather a curse that came with the technique Tengen was born with.
As long as Tengen has not completely transformed into a Cursed Spirit, the [Star Plasma Vessel] will continue to appear in this world.
In order to find the astral body in time and to destroy it before it was generated, she and Tengen jointly developed a perception technique that could detect abnormalities in the body.
After thousands of years of changes, this technique has long since become a special technique for detecting Tengen's body.
After all, Tengen was a crucial part of his plan, so Kenjaku had never relaxed his observation of Tengen's physical condition over the past thousand years.
Over the course of this thousand years, Tengen's physical changes have been largely within Kenjaku's expectations. Apart from slight fluctuations each time he merges with the [Star Plasma Vessel], he has mostly remained normal.
But just now, an extremely strange and special aura of [Star Plasma Vessel] was born. At the instant that aura was born, Kenjaku suddenly discovered that Tengen's body began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It's an evolution towards humanity!
no!
Although it's unclear why Tengen suddenly evolved, if she were to become completely human, then her millennia-long plan would be utterly ruined.
She absolutely cannot accept such a thing!
The unfolding of the Culling Game requires the evolution of Tengen's Cursed Spirits; we absolutely cannot allow this crucial link to go wrong!
She downed her chilled beer in one gulp, then looked coldly in the direction of Kiyoshi Zenin.
That unusual aura of [Star Plasma Vessel] was coming from the direction where Kiyoshi was.
Was it something that the brat and Sukuna did together?
Is it still that brat and Tengen's plan?
Or is it simply that the kid has a special constitution?!
While thinking, Kenjaku dialed the phone numbers of Noritoshi Kamo and Ogi Zenin, who were in Tokyo.
These two are the real culprits who framed Kiyoshi Zenin, or rather, they are his backup plan planted among human sorcerers.
Although neither of them were particularly useful, their status within the Big Three Families wasn't low; they were, to some extent, useful dogs.
We must kill or bring that brat Kiyoshi Zenin under our control as soon as possible, otherwise there will be many unpredictable changes in the future!
Meanwhile, inside the underground barrier of the High School, Tengen felt his body gradually returning to human form, and the smile on his face became bright and radiant.
Chapter-92
Time flies, and it has been seventeen days since Kiyoshi arrived in Okinawa.
At the entrance of Lianzhi Girls' School, Kiyoshi Zenin and Kuroi stood together. The surrounding sun was somewhat scorching, shining on the asphalt road and emitting a unique summery atmosphere.
A shopkeeper on the roadside poured a bucket of water onto the ground, and it made a "sizzling" sound the moment it hit the ground.
The weather was terribly hot, and even standing in the shade of a tree, the two of them felt somewhat irritated by the waves of heat.
Miss Kuroi looked at Kiyoshi Zenin beside her, a slightly ashamed expression on her face. She lowered her head, and the fragrance emanating from her body filled the air, making Kiyoshi Zenin's already somewhat agitated mood even drier.
"I'm sorry, Kiyoshi-kun, it's so hot today, and I made you come with me to pick up Riko from school. It must have been so tiring for you..."
As Kiyoshi Zenin listened to Kuroi's words, he subconsciously pushed himself back, leaving half of his body exposed to the scorching sun.
But he didn't say anything. After all, he had the advantage of height. When Kuroi lowered his head to talk to him, if he were a little lewd, he could see a lot of things that Kuroi shouldn't have seen.
He turned his head slightly, focusing his gaze on the entrance of the girls' school, and then said with a smile:
"It's alright, Miss Kuroi. We are your and Riko's bodyguards. It's our duty to pick you up from school and protect you. There's no reason not to do it just because it's hot."
Furthermore, Ms. Kuroi, it was Toji who drove your car away, which is our problem. I should be the one apologizing to you now.
At this point, the face of that bastard Toji Fushiguro flashed through Kiyoshi's mind.
He borrowed Ms. Kuroi's car early this morning and left, saying he was going to work at a supermarket on the other side of Okinawa and that he wouldn't make it in time by train, so he wanted to borrow her car.
Realizing that the other party wasn't going to gamble on horse races, and given that Ms. Kuroi trusted Kiyoshi Zenin, she quickly lent the car keys to Toji.
Toji also said that he would return the car before noon to avoid them being without a car when they went to pick up Riko Amanai.
By now, it was almost one o'clock, and Toji had not appeared at all, and they couldn't even get through on the phone.
Meanwhile, on the road, Toji looked at the seemingly endless traffic jam in front of him, and an extremely embarrassed and helpless expression appeared on his face.
His phone was dead, he hadn't gone to the bathroom, the car was almost out of gas, and he hadn't turned on the air conditioning, so the car was unbearably hot, like being in a sauna.
An unpleasant series of honking horns came from behind, and the road surface, baked by the sun, emitted that unpleasant smell.
The beeping sound continued incessantly.
Toji glanced at the time on his watch and realized he was already past his time limit, which made him even more annoyed.
In order to buy Eri a gift, Toji specifically found a job as a security guard and cashier at a supermarket in Okinawa, thinking that his job would be easy.
But for some reason, ever since I went there, the business at that store has become incredibly booming.
There are so many more Shibuya gyarou (female geeks) that we never saw before. Those bastards are just like what that brat Kiyoshi Zenin said, they're all guys who like to gossip about others behind their backs.
Especially when she put on the black uniform provided by that store, those dark-skinned Shibuya gyaru would let out strange screams.
Although he could hear what the other person was saying behind his back, he was too lazy to listen, and he didn't like invading other people's privacy.
But thanks to these sexy, dark-skinned women, the shop owner was extremely satisfied and enthusiastic with him, and even gave him a significant raise, which was almost as high as the regular salary of a senior employee in the shop next door.
Therefore, although it was noisy and busy at work, it was still acceptable.
After all, he had lost most of his money over the years due to horse racing betting, and when he wanted to buy Eri some gifts, he found himself short of money.
We can't all go to Kiyoshi to borrow money, can we?
He sighed, looked at the work clothes on the passenger seat, heard the honking behind him, and frowned slightly at the motionless traffic ahead.
Then, amidst the angry shouts of the drivers behind, Toji turned off the engine, pulled the handbrake, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Anyway, there was still a long way to go before the traffic jam started, so he didn't mind having a good chat with those jerks behind him to vent his frustration and dissatisfaction with work.
The blond, tattooed man who had been sticking his head out of the car window and cursing at Toji immediately pulled his head back in the blink of an eye after seeing Toji's body, which was almost like a three-door refrigerator. He frantically shook the window handle, trying to close the window before Toji arrived.
But just as he pulled his head back, the man seemed to teleport, appearing right in front of him.
He had already reached one hand into the car, tightly gripping the man who was frantically shaking the window handle.
"Hey! Get down and look at the road ahead."
After Toji finished speaking, the woman in the passenger seat with the blond hair forgot to shout or beg for mercy. Instead, a faint blush appeared on her face.
AmazonCeraVe Blemish Control Gel With 2% Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide
This man is so strong and handsome, he looks just like a model!
After her boyfriend was pulled out of the car, the woman still didn't move. She just stared blankly at Toji, clutching a piece of paper with her phone number on it.
And so, on the scorching asphalt road, the blond-haired man, his face practically melting from the heat, respectfully explained to Toji why he had been honking his horn so frantically earlier.
Seeing the disheveled look on that bastard with blond hair, Toji was naturally pleased, but the thought of being nagged by the Zenin monk Kiyoshi when he got back made him feel a little helpless.
But that doesn't mean he dislikes this kind of thing; on the contrary, he cherishes this feeling.
The school bell rang at Lianzhi Girls' School, and as the iron gate opened, a group of youthful and beautiful figures walked out of the school. They were full of energy and vitality, looking like budding flowers.
Kiyoshi Zenin and Kuroi stood a little further back, making it as spacious as possible for the students to come out, so that they could more easily spot Riko Amanai.
Just then, a slightly arrogant figure emerged from not far away.
"Can I kill these humans here?"
Chapter-93
Girls' schools always bring all sorts of wonderful fantasies to teenage boys.
Under the summer sun, the girls exuded a faint fragrance.
The gentle call of my deskmate in class, the energetic encouragement from the girl in PE class, the careful guidance of the mature senior in the club, the sweet confession from the junior at the school festival...
All these fantasies have made the term "girls' school" a dream for many teenage boys.
But in reality, girls' schools are filled with many unpleasant aspects.
It does smell nice, but in the summer, the scent turns into an unbearable sour smell when mixed with sweat.
There are many gentle people, but there are also many fierce girls who form gangs to bully other girls who have flaws or are too outstanding.
This is just an ordinary school with only girls; apart from the gender, there is nothing about it that boys could envy.
Fortunately, because of her personality, Riko was quite happy at the school.
She is a good friend to many people, and a close confidante to many others.
AmazonCeraVe Blemish Control Gel With 2% Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide
Every time school ended, many people would say goodbye to her with reluctance.
Even under the scorching sun, the crowd's enthusiasm remained undiminished.
But today, that inextinguishable passion seems to have come a little too fiercely.
It was a figure that appeared to be slightly short, but the power contained within it was chilling.
Just standing there gives off a wave of heat and oppression, like a miniature sun.
Fine volcanic ash seemed to fall endlessly from his volcano, accompanied by a pungent sulfurous smell, causing everyone present to frown deeply.
Kiyoshi Zenin stood there, feeling the almost monstrous power of the spell, and felt goosebumps rise all over his body in an instant!
How could that guy possibly come to a place like this at this time?!
Looking at the familiar figure before him, Kiyoshi's throat went dry, whether from the heat or from being overwhelmed by the figure.
Jogo didn't deliberately hide his words from anyone; Kiyoshi heard Jogo's words about killing everyone here.
Moreover, Kiyoshi knew that what the volcano in front of him said was not a joke.
Unlike Hanami's ambiguous stance towards humanity, Jogo is absolutely hostile to humanity!
To him, every human being is his mortal enemy, a vermin that should be expelled from this world!
He was definitely not joking when he said he would kill everyone here.
The person standing beside the Jogo was dressed in a black robe. A faint smile appeared on her fair face, and she said softly:
"Yes, that's fine, Jogo. But before that, capture that brat I told you about. After I deal with the secrets he carries, you can kill everyone here."
Hearing the words of the man in black beside him, Jogo's face showed a slight impatience. He clicked his tongue softly and then said:
"That's why I dislike cooperating with inferior beings like humans!"
The complaining words from the Jogo did not elicit the slightest emotional response from the man in black robes; the voice coming from beneath the robes remained completely emotionless.
"Did you collaborate with me because you liked me, or were you forced to collaborate with me due to circumstances?"
The black-robed man's reply caused the Jogo to choke, and a hint of annoyance flashed in the small volcano's single eye, while a faint spark of fire erupted from its ears and nose.
But before the Jogo could say anything, the man in black robes continued:
"Whether you are inferior or excellent doesn't matter. Just do what we agreed on, and I will naturally satisfy you in the rest."
Upon hearing this, a slightly cruel and sinister smile appeared on the Jogo's face:
"In that case, I'll collect some interest first. I'll definitely be able to catch that brat for you. Before that, let me clean up all the humans who are getting in the way here!"
The woman in black robes did not stop the Jogo from doing this. As far as she was concerned, as long as the Zenin Temple continued to be under her control, she would not care about the lives of the people here.
Over the course of thousands of years, she had long since seen through the inherent flaws of humankind.
Kenjaku has no affection for humans.
However, she also looked down on the Jogo, a Cursed Spirit that existed solely based on negative human emotions but was always thinking of killing humans.
Compared to inferior humans, Cursed Spirits can only be described as the most lowly beings.
She loathed everything in front of her.
However, this look of hatred was well concealed and was not detected by the Jogo.
Or perhaps the Jogo had already sensed her gaze, but it simply didn't care.
Looking at the vibrant humans before it, at those humans wriggling in the world like flies and maggots, it felt an overwhelming surge of killing intent rising within it.
A blazing wave of fire surged from his palm, carrying a terrifying power capable of annihilating everyone before him on this already sweltering summer afternoon.
Without a doubt, if those flames had actually covered everyone, then within seconds, only charred black corpses would have remained.
Seeing this scene, Kiyoshi Zenin gritted his teeth, suppressed his instinctive urge to escape, and said to Kuroi, word by word:
"Ms. Kuroi, take these people and leave here immediately! Quickly!"
Having said that, Kiyoshi did not offer any further explanation. As his magical power surged, he shot out like a bolt of lightning.
The three techniques of [Projection Sorcery], [Heavenly Restriction], and [Limitless] erupted in an instant.
Kiyoshi Zenin's body broke the sound barrier in an instant, and his figure even created a sound barrier in the air.
Before the flame in Jogo's hand could fully take shape, Kiyoshi Zenin's figure had already appeared in front of him.
[Star Rage] Virtual Mass! [Projection Sorcery] Accelerates Again! [Limitless] Gravitational Binding! [Heavenly Restriction] Maximum Power!
With four layers of attack combined, this attack has almost reached the level of a top-tier attack!
Jogo stared at Kiyoshi Zenin, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, a slight look of surprise flashing in his single eye. But as he felt the power emanating from the other man, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips. He raised his palm, intending to block Kiyoshi Zenin's attack in this way.
The next moment, a tremendous force came, and Jogo was kicked away like a kite with a broken string!
Chapter-94
[Star Rage]is a technique that possesses an imaginary quality. Its power fluctuations during casting are extremely subtle, making it almost impossible for the opponent to detect.
Even if one senses the release of Star Rage, it is difficult to judge its exact quality in the instant of the fist and foot exchange.
It's possible that all your best defense will only result in a simple, ordinary attack from the opponent.
But when you relax even slightly, you may be facing an attack weighing hundreds of tons.
The Jogo is not well understood by human sorcerers, or rather, it disdains to understand those weak humans.
Even top-tier sorcerers are nothing more than foolish and ignorant humans, falsely chosen as powerful figures by their narrow-minded perspective.
During the hundreds of years he lived, he killed more than one so-called Grand Master sorcerer.
Those guys don't deserve to be called Special Grade at all. Every time he kills those humans, Jogo would say something to them with a twisted sense of humor.
"You were rated as Special Grade because you reached Special Grade, while I was rated as Special Grade because the pinnacle is Special Grade!"
Every time he watched those guys die in despair, Jogo felt an inexplicable sense of excitement.
It is a kind of absolute loneliness and control that belongs only to the strong.
This power has been savored by the Jogo alone for thousands of years!
But today, when the boy's whip leg lashed his face, Jogo felt as if all his self-respect had been torn apart in that instant.
His left arm had been kicked to pieces, blood splattered on his face, and the intense pain made the bloodshot look even more pronounced in Jogo's eyes.
His gaze toward Kiyoshi Zenin was filled with crimson. Half of his head was deformed from being kicked. He stood up unsteadily, and as his magical power surged, the wounds had already been almost completely healed.
"You brat! In a moment I will cut off your limbs, and you will watch your cherished companions be burned to death one by one, in pain and screams!"
The sound of the Jogo was slightly hoarse, and the murderous intent that almost solidified into a tangible form sent chills down the spine of anyone who heard it.
The huge crater that was suddenly smashed into the street startled everyone present. Both Riko and Ms. Kuroi possessed superhuman magical powers.
AmazonCeraVe Blemish Control Gel With 2% Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide
Therefore, the two of them could clearly see the Cursed Spirit before them, which was almost like a natural disaster.
Feeling the terrifying Cursed Energy that was like the sun, Kuroi felt her whole body tremble, but the Kiyoshi Zenin's voice that rang in her ears forced her to break through the fear that had enveloped her heart.
Without any hesitation, she shouted at the top of her lungs to the people around her:
"Gas explosion! Everyone get out of here immediately!"
Kuroi told a lie because she knew all too well that for most ordinary people, joining in the fun was always their first choice.
If the situation isn't presented in a more dire way, then most of these people will likely remain where they are, even if it costs them their lives.
Riko realized what was happening at that moment and called out to her classmates:
"Everyone, hurry back to school! The gas pipes over there are still burning! There might be a huge explosion soon! Get back quickly!"
If Kuroi's words instilled some fear in the girls, causing them to prepare to run away, then Riko's words acted as a catalyst, instantly amplifying their already heightened fear to its peak.
People tend to trust the opinions of acquaintances, especially someone like Riko who already has a decent reputation.
As the girls screamed, they ran towards the school. Once the students of Lianzhi Girls' School started running away, it was like triggering a domino effect. The residents who had come out to watch the commotion because of the explosion also scattered like birds.
The Jogo stood still, coldly watching the humans displaying their ugly behavior, its expression growing increasingly mocking and disgusted.
He slightly raised his palm, and a wave of heat, as if capable of melting steel, rapidly spread out from beneath his feet.
The terrifying heatwave ignited trees, set houses ablaze, and even melted the asphalt roads.
Moreover, given the speed at which the heatwave spreads, it will likely catch up with them before they can escape to a safe area.
At that temperature, no one could possibly survive.
At this moment, Kiyoshi Zenin felt waves of pain on his skin. The high temperature scalded his skin, causing blisters to form and large patches of skin to peel off. It was as if his flesh was being soaked in boiling oil, and the stinging pain stimulated every nerve in Kiyoshi Zenin's body.
Even though he had already attached his Cursed Energy to his body surface to resist most of the heat invasion, and even though part of his body had become the body of the Cursed Spirit and he could use his Cursed Energy to repair his body, Kiyoshi Zenin still felt that he was in a desperate situation.
This is completely different from the ridiculous record of the Jogo in the anime.
The fights he had with the Jogo were all at the pinnacle of the entire world of Jujutsu.
Both Ryomen Sukuna and Satoru Gojo are exceptionally strong individuals who represent a generational gap in power.
The Jogo looked somewhat comical to the two of them, but in the eyes of a Grade 1 sorcerer, its existence was no different from that of the Grim Reaper who reaped lives at will.
Facing the Jogo, whose Domain has not yet been expanded, simply standing next to it already made a Grade 1 sorcerer like Kiyoshi feel powerless.
If one were to stand next to the Jogo that has activated its Domain, one would likely be burned to ashes in an instant.
The difference in strength is too great!
A Grade 1 sorcerer is simply not qualified to stand in front of the Jogo!
If this continues, I will definitely die!
Feeling the ever-rising heat waves, Kiyoshi Zenin felt as if he had already stepped one foot into the grave.
If it weren't for the absolute defensive capabilities of the [Limitless] technique, he would probably be dead by now. Even so, the heat emanating from his incomplete, Limitless body still scorched him like an ant on an iron pot.
Kiyoshi could sense that if things continued like this, the moment his magical power was exhausted would be the moment he was instantly roasted into a charred corpse.
But right now, Zenin Monastery Kiyoshi can't find any way to break the deadlock. The power of the Jogo has become so great that he is somewhat desperate.
He began to regret it, regretting why he had kicked out in front of everyone, regretting why he hadn't just run away with Kuroi and Riko, he began to regret...
No! There's nothing to regret!
Their target is themselves, so even if they escape immediately, they will be quickly caught up later!
It's just a matter of dying sooner or later!
Chapter-95
The heat wave lingered in the air, and the Zenin temple's broken and boundless structure was utterly unable to resist the attack of the Jogo.
If it weren't for the fact that part of his body had been transformed into a Cursed Spirit earlier, he would probably have turned to ashes by now.
There weren't many bodies that could be transformed into Cursed Spirits; the rest of their bodies were already burned beyond recognition.
Fortunately, the relationship between Kiyoshi Zenin and Sukuna is not like that between Itadori and Sukuna, where Sukuna completely dominates the relationship.
Feeling the pain in his body, Kiyoshi Zenin instinctively wanted to mobilize all the power in his body.
However, when he signed the Binding Vow with Sukuna, it was clearly stated that he needed to consult with Sukuna before using Sukuna's power.
If he were to directly extract Sukuna's power, then Kiyoshi Zenin would be breaking the Binding Vow.
In the world of Jujutsu, if there is anything that can restrict Sukuna and Satoru Gojo, it can only be "Binding Vow".
That is the foundation upon which the entire world is built, and the very basis upon which the world continues to exist.
After arriving in the world of Jujutsu, Kiyoshi Zenin actually searched through the Zenin family's ancient books for books about "the consequences of breaking a Binding Vow".
However, to Kiyoshi's surprise, he found not a single word in any of the books about the specific punishment for breaking the Binding Vow.
It was as if there was an invisible hand in the world that erased all punishments related to "restraint".
However, while erasing this punishment record, these invisible hands also seemed to have added a mark called "Prohibition of Violation of Other Rules" to the depths of everyone's soul.
Even the weakest sorcerer, after signing a Binding Vow, will feel a strange fear from the depths of their soul when they break the Binding Vow.
No one knows what the punishment will be for breaking the Binding Vow, but absolutely no one wants to try it.
Therefore, even at this point, Kiyoshi Zenin was still unable to directly invoke Sukuna's power.
While focusing some of his attention on his mental world, he approached the Jogo, enduring the terrifying heat emanating from it.
Staying where he was would only mean certain death; he had to rush to the Jogo and forcefully interrupt its body, which was constantly releasing high temperatures.
The flawed Limitless and the Six Eyes were utilized to the fullest extent at this moment. The space on the surface of the Zenin Temple's body slightly distorted, repelling all the heat and flames to the outside.
However, to achieve this, the amount of Cursed Energy consumed by Kiyoshi was extremely terrifying. Feeling the Cursed Energy in his body decreasing at an almost visible speed, Kiyoshi knew that if it continued to decrease at this rate, he could only hold on for a maximum of five more minutes.
After more than five minutes, he could no longer maintain this unbridled behavior and would be instantly engulfed by the heat and reduced to ashes.
Killing Jogo within those five minutes is clearly impossible; even a desperate close-quarters battle would likely result in an even faster death.
But he has no other options right now, and can only try to stall for time until Kiyoshi or even Toji comes to the rescue.
It's hard to say what will happen to Toji. Although his physique is extraordinary, without the help of Cursed Tools, he would probably die here facing the Jogo.
It's important to understand that Jogo is different from other Cursed Spirits like Hanami, who were born recently and had little fighting spirit. Jogo is a Cursed Spirit that has been around for hundreds of years and harbors intense hatred for humanity.
Yuki Tsukumo is currently our only hope. The fluctuations in Cursed Energy erupting here are quite significant, and it will take Yuki Tsukumo about ten minutes to get here from home.
If he can just hold on for these ten minutes, he has a chance to live!
However, it is clear that the Jogo will not allow him to accomplish this so easily.
The moment Zenin Temple Kiyoshi rushed toward the Jogo, an extremely exaggerated power erupted from its small body, and almost instantly, the temperature of the entire space rose and boiled again.
Despite the intense heat that could almost burn his internal organs through the air, Kiyoshi rushed step by step toward the Jogo.
Every step felt like walking on rolling lava; the shoes had long since been baked into a strange, semi-solid shape by the intense heat.
The incomplete, Limitless spell was pushed to its limit at this moment, and the Cursed Energy poured out as if it didn't care about its own life, maintaining that layer of "Limitless" that was as thin as a cicada's wing but separated life and death.
Even so, the intense pain caused to the skin by the high temperature almost suffocated the Zenin monk.
The flesh and blood that were not transformed by the curse and were not completely protected by the Limitless system were constantly blistering, carbonizing, and peeling off.
His five senses became blurred under the extreme heat, and the surrounding space seemed to deform at this moment. Only the short figure that his incomplete Six Eyes captured, which exuded destructive Cursed Energy, was his only target.
Charge over! Interrupt him! Even a moment's pause could turn the tide!
Once the Jogo is entangled, Kiyoshi can try to use a double attack of [Star Rage] and [Projection Sorcery] to suppress the Jogo for a short time!
The power of the incantation was pushed to its limit, and at this moment, an extremely dazzling blue light burst forth from Kiyoshi's incomplete Six Eyes!
Just as he was still a dozen meters away from the Jogo, the scorching air almost setting his lungs ablaze, the Jogo suddenly turned its head with a smile towards Kiyoshi, then its black teeth clicked slightly as it sneered:
"Hmph, dying humans! Every time I burn bastards like you to death, it makes me feel a lot better!"
A cruel mockery flashed in the Jogo's single eye, reflecting the disheveled body of Kiyoshi Zenin.
The next moment, it didn't even move its feet, but simply raised its thick arm covered in rolling lava, and a terrifying aura instantly pressed down from above!
Buzz—!
Almost the instant the Cursed Energy surged, a violent echo appeared in Kiyoshi Zenin's mind.
My scalp tingled with fear. I subconsciously looked in the direction of the explosion of the Cursed Energy and saw that the sky, which was already bleached by the sun, was now tinged with an orange hue.
"Maximum Meteor!"
As the sound of the Jogo faded, a sphere of crimson magma, several meters in diameter, fell from the sky!
The sphere, resembling a miniature sun, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of melting steel and destructive impact, tore through the space before them and hurtled head-on towards the charging Kiyoshi Zenin with an unstoppable force!
The meteorite was so fast and covered such a wide area that it almost completely blocked his space to dodge!
Chapter-96Chapter-97
As the fiery meteorite, several meters in size, fell from the sky, Kiyoshi Zenin knew that his only escape route was that one.
Because he had been too close to the Jogo, he suffered extensive and severe burns.
Now, let alone fulfilling the required movements of the [Projection Sorcery], even normal actions are severely affected.
The teleportation ability granted by the [Limitless] technique can only be used by Kiyoshi if the surrounding Limitless shield is turned off.
However, in the current situation, if one were to close their shield even for a moment, they would be instantly vaporized by the surrounding high temperature.
The power that the Jogo is currently displaying truly demonstrates what a "Disaster Curse" is!
It was a magnificent force that no human could resist, an attack that resembled the will of heaven and earth.
The only thing Kiyoshi Zenin can do to escape this attack is to use Sukuna's power to have her perform a Reverse Cursed Technique on herself.
Only by ensuring his physical health and integrity, and by utilizing the boost from Projection Sorcery and the full power of his own superior spells, could he escape before the meteorite fell.
However, Sukuna is not Kurama; he is a complete egoist.
Kiyoshi Zenin didn't think that his few conversations with Sukuna could change Sukuna much.
As expected, when Kiyoshi Zenin entered the Innate Domain, he was greeted by Sukuna's slightly mocking smile.
"Kid, looks like you're going to die."
Sukuna was sitting on the sofa in an unseemly posture, with his legs spread apart, arms outstretched, and half of his body sunk into the sofa.
His burly body looked somewhat comical at that moment, for some reason.
Zenin Monk looked at Sukuna and, having no time for further discussion, spoke directly:
"Lend me your Cursed Energy, or we'll both die here!"

Sukuna listened to Kiyoshi's words without any expression on his face. He looked at Kiyoshi with a calm expression in his eyes.
"I still have nineteen parts of my soul outside. Even if the soul residing in this finger dies, it's only one-twentieth. I don't care about this one part of my soul, but you will die here and disappear here forever!"
As he finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and Kiyoshi Zenin's face was reflected in his eyes.
Actually, Sukuna didn't want to lend Kiyoshi Zenin his power; rather, he wanted to make this little devil, who had maintained a humble yet dignified attitude from the beginning, lower his head and submit to him.
During Sukuna's lifetime, or even after his death, among all the people who met him, no one could speak to him as an equal as Kiyoshi Zenin.
When he was powerful, everyone revered him as a god; when he was weak, they contemptuously called themselves "Fallen Gods."
No one spoke to him in the same tone and manner as Kiyoshi, not even Uraume, whom he later picked up.
From beginning to end, Uraume revered herself as a deity.
Therefore, Sukuna couldn't say whether he felt disgusted or curious about Kiyoshi Zenin's attitude. He just wanted to see if Kiyoshi Zenin would choose to abandon his pride and submit to him in the face of fear of life and death.
He stared at Kiyoshi with a calm expression, making it difficult to discern any emotion in his gaze.
Kiyoshi listened to Sukuna's words, smiled slightly, and then said:
"Do you know? Everyone in this world has a bottom line. When the other party doesn't agree to your terms, it means you haven't met their bottom line."
Two fingers, as payment for the power I received from you this time.
"I have said that I do not care about one-twentieth of the souls."
"Three."
"Do you want me to say more...?"
"Four fingers, otherwise I would rather break the contract than not mobilize your power."
"Kid, are you threatening me?"
"It's just a transaction."
Sukuna looked at Kiyoshi Zenin in front of him. Although Kiyoshi Zenin had blocked his senses from the outside world, Kiyoshi Zenin was now too busy to defend against the Jogo's attacks, so the blockade on Sukuna was actually a little looser.
When Sukuna saw the miserable state of the Zenin temple, he felt an inexplicable anger.
It wasn't that I was angry because Kiyoshi was beaten up like that, nor was it anger because I felt sorry for Kiyoshi.
It is not so much anger, but rather the anger of having one's possessions trampled and humiliated at will by others.
Sukuna is a very stingy person, so stingy that even Uraume cannot touch the food he sets his sights on, and so stingy that he must have complete control over everything.
Kiyoshi Zenin had long been considered Sukuna's prey, and only Sukuna could take away his life and future!
But what is that tiny, useless Cursed Spirit in front of me, the size of a volcano?!
He was snatching the power to kill Kiyoshi from his own hands; he was taking away from the pleasure of trampling Kiyoshi under his feet and watching him kneel and beg for mercy!
"Hey! Kid, it doesn't matter whether you live or die, but that volcano-headed Cursed Spirit outside is emanating an aura that makes me very uncomfortable. I agree to lend you my Cursed Energy, but in addition to the four fingers as payment, I also need you to give me your body for a short period of time."
Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi Zenin frowned and looked at Sukuna, as the shrill sound of a meteorite tearing through the air came from outside.
He felt as if his blood was being roasted to the point of boiling under the high temperature, a sign that his body was beginning to melt in the heat.
He didn't have much time to waste here with Sukuna!
Kiyoshi looked at Sukuna, then smiled and said:
"Deal. Hopefully, when I get out, you won't let my body turn to ashes."
As a burst of blood-red Cursed Energy spread from Kiyoshi's Innate Domain, a violent aura carrying a strong bloody smell and the power to crush everything suddenly erupted from Kiyoshi's body.
Black, mysterious patterns once again covered Zenin's entire face, unlike the last time when Zenin impersonated Sukuna.
This time, the Sukuna ritual is the real deal.
Sukuna clenched his fist, feeling the long-lost flesh, breathing in the air around him that was almost hot enough to scald a human's respiratory tract, and a hideous smile appeared on his face.
"Indeed, the world is only interesting when you experience it for yourself! Hahaha, women and children crawling around in this world like maggots is really unpleasant!"
At this moment, the Jogo was not yet aware of Sukuna's situation. Looking at the Kiyoshi who had suddenly changed his temperament, he showed a slightly disdainful expression:
"You little devil who's trying to be mysterious, die!"
Chapter-98
The fiery meteorite in the sky plummeted rapidly, and in the short time it took Sukuna to raise her head, it had almost crashed down in front of her.
However, Sukuna only showed a disdainful expression when faced with the fiery meteorite that was so close at hand.
As the Cursed Energy surged throughout his body, the Reverse Cursed Technique operated wildly within him, and his charred skin peeled off at a visible speed, revealing the newly grown pink flesh beneath.
Feeling the almost exaggerated speed of recovery and physical strength of this body, even Sukuna, who had seen many monsters, had to describe it as a "monster".
The brilliant blue light in his eyes, combined with his physique far exceeding that of an ordinary sorcerer, all of this made Sukuna feel incredible.
Previously, because he was trapped in his Innate Domain by Kiyoshi, he was basically unable to sense any information about this body.
But now... Sukuna's lips curled into a grin, his eyes filled with malice.
Although Kiyoshi didn't treat him well in his Innate Domain, and even gave him a lot of preferential treatment, in return, he would reluctantly give Kiyoshi a quick death when he killed him.
If I'm in a good mood, I might as well leave him with a complete corpse.
As Sukuna contemplated the scene of killing Kiyoshi in the future, he raised his hand and used his eyes, which glowed with a ghostly blue light, to examine the lava meteorite that was now less than a few meters away from him.
"These are truly remarkable eyes. They can clearly discern the flow, fluctuations, and intensity of Cursed Energy to such an extent. Well then, if that's the case, then this is convenient."
As Sukuna spoke, she slightly clasped her hands together and then said softly:
"Four cuts near the edge on the left, twenty-seven cuts near the center on the right, and sixteen cuts slightly to the right of the bottom..."
The internal structure of the massive meteorite, burning with destructive flames, is revealed in minute detail, like a completely dissected specimen.
Each number that Sukuna reported corresponded to the key node where the flow of Cursed Energy was weakest and the structure was most unstable inside this behemoth!
As he muttered to himself, several invisible slashes flew past him.
Without exception, all those strikes cut into the burning meteorite just as Sukuna had predicted.
The slash was not a brutal attempt to split the meteorite, but rather like the most exquisite surgical scalpel, cutting along the "death line" that Sukuna's "Six Eyes" could perceive, a line that was imperceptible to the naked eye and ordinary Cursed Energy.
Sukuna seemed to be in a good mood. He watched the slashes strike the meteorite and whistled softly. With each syllable, an invisible, sharp slash capable of cutting through space responded.
"Buzz! Hiss! Bang!"
The invisible, almost supersonic slashes came in rapid succession, the slicing sounds like a rain curtain almost forming a musical score. Before the Jogo meteorite fell, it had already cut the small sun that seemed capable of destroying the entire street into pieces.
Meteorite fragments fell slowly from the sky like a meteor shower, but the cut meteorites had lost their original impact force, and the cut pieces of firestone could not cause much damage to the street.
Amidst the sea of fire, Jogo looked at the 'Kiyoshi Zenin' before him, his large, single eye filled with astonishment and confusion.
He couldn't understand why 'Kiyoshi Zenin' could slice his meteorite into pieces with just a few seemingly insignificant slashes.
AmazonCeraVe Blemish Control Gel With 2% Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide
You have to understand that although it wasn't his full-power 'Extreme Move', it was still a scaled-down version of his ultimate move. Any sorcerer below the Special Grade would have absolutely no chance of survival against that move!
Kiyoshi's performance was pretty much as he had expected. After seeing the meteorite he had summoned, he didn't have the courage to confront it head-on.
But why did the person seem like a completely different person after those black lines appeared on Kiyoshi's face?
If Kiyoshi's previous Cursed Energy gave people a somewhat chaotic and warm feeling, then the Cursed Energy emanating from Kiyoshi now is so extreme that it has become a tangible coldness and evil, a pure malice!
However, as the strongest Cursed Spirit in hundreds of years, Jogo was not afraid. He looked at the eyes that were flashing with a ghostly blue light in the sea of fire, and his voice was full of solemnity:
"Kid, how did you survive that attack?"
Hearing Jogo's words, Kiyoshi's Six Eyes, which gleamed with a faint blue light, revealed a hint of mockery and disdain.
"A mere Cursed Spirit, you really think too highly of yourself. Your attack just now had at least three hundred flaws. If I wanted to, I could even use this brat's original Cursed Energy to eliminate your weak attack."
Hearing Kiyoshi's words, Jogo seemed to realize that the paper figure in front of him was not the Kiyoshi from before. He looked at Kenjaku behind him, a cold threat in his eyes.
"What is going on? Human! If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll kill you right here!"
Despite the Jogo's threat, Kenjaku's alluring face beneath the black robe showed no sign of fear. She simply smiled and said to the Jogo:
"Didn't I tell you from the beginning? Our goal this time is simply to capture that brat in front of us. As for killing the [Star Plasma Vessel] and such, that's something you wanted to do yourself."
"If you hadn't been so determined to kill Kiyoshi Zenin, that terrifying creature wouldn't have appeared, would you? Sukuna."
A sinister smile appeared on Sukuna's face. His wounds had been completely healed, and there was no trace of the severe burns he had suffered earlier.
"This body is even better than I imagined. To be honest, I'm really grateful to you for finding me such a perfect vessel."
Sukuna was unaware that Zenin had borrowed his identity last time, and Kenjaku was also unaware that the person she spoke to last time was not the real Sukuna.
Therefore, what seemed perfectly reasonable to Sukuna was, in Kenjaku's ears, a blatant provocation and threat.
She squinted, and her words no longer carried the feigned enthusiasm she usually showed towards Sukuna; instead, they sounded somewhat cold.
"Is that so? As long as you like this body, I'll be at ease. After all, I've prepared more gifts for you later."
Sukuna wasn't stupid; he naturally sensed the distance and indifference in Kenjaku's words. In fact, he could feel that Kenjaku harbored a deep-seated fear and murderous intent towards him.
Feeling that strange emotion, Sukuna was a little confused for a moment.
What's wrong with this woman?
Chapter-99
Although Kenjaku was not a normal person a thousand years ago, she was at least relatively respectful to me.
Especially after reaching that agreement with myself, I should have developed a tiny bit of trust in myself.
But what's going on with this situation right now?
Could it be that kid's problem?
Sukuna was somewhat puzzled. He looked at Kenjaku, and just as he was about to ask some questions, the sound of the Jogo rang out again, directly interrupting Sukuna's words.
"None of that matters! Is he an essential part of your plan?! If not, I'm going to kill that brat right here and now!"
Upon hearing this, Kenjaku's eyes flickered slightly before he answered the Jogo.
"If you can do that, it means your value exceeds his, and naturally there's no problem."
Hearing this, Sukuna swallowed the question he had originally intended to ask, a mocking smile appearing on his lips as he looked at Kenjaku:
"A thousand years seem to have changed you a lot. Have you really stooped so low as to place your hopes on this kind of trash? It's truly laughable."
That's just Sukuna's personality. Even if he knows there might be some misunderstanding between him and Kenjaku, the moment Kenjaku bares his fangs at him, whether it's a misunderstanding or not becomes irrelevant. He won't care about those things; he just hates anything that bares its fangs at him.
Even if that person is Uraume, it would be the same!
He doesn't care about any reasons or misunderstandings; anyone who tries to challenge his authority will be shredded to pieces.
As the Jogo listened to Sukuna's relentless attempts to belittle him, the volcano vent erupted a small amount of scalding, bright red lava.
"It seems that you feel incredibly proud and honored to have withstood my attack? It seems that merely deflecting my attack has made you so complacent? Humans are indeed all equally foolish and arrogant."
Today, I will make you experience what a true curse is through life and death! Human, I will use your death to declare to this world who the true ruler of this world is. We, the new human race, will completely dominate this world in the near future!
"And your inferior race deserves only to become our food!"
AmazonCeraVe Blemish Control Gel With 2% Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide
As he spoke, Jogo clasped his hands together slightly. As he slowly opened his palms, flames flowed out from his palms like liquid.
"Vortex of Karmic Fire!"
The moment Jogo finished speaking, a massive amount of lava erupted from the crater above its head. Jogo manipulated the enormous lava, transforming it into a colossal wave that seemed capable of engulfing everything.
Fortunately, the residents of this area had been cleared out not long ago by the Star Religious Group, which was contacted by Kuroi, and the government. Otherwise, this one move alone would have been enough to kill half of the community!
Jogo and Sukuna didn't care about the lives of ordinary people. Jogo considered them inferior beings and thought it would be better if more of them died. Sukuna considered them as insignificant ants and felt no need to pity them for dying.
Looking at the surging lava, Sukuna narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he was reluctant to admit it, the Cursed Spirit in front of him did seem to be about the level of seven or eight of his fingers. The combined power of Kiyoshi Zenin's Cursed Energy and his own one finger's worth of Cursed Energy was less than the combat power of two fingers.
Although this body possesses many amazing powers, Sukuna could sense that it was almost impossible for him to fully master it.
The connection between the soul and body in the Zenin temple is so profound that it's almost frightening.
Even now, Sukuna is unsure whether Kiyoshi Zenin is conscious or unconscious.
This situation, where everything seemed to be under Kiyoshi Zenin's control, made Sukuna feel increasingly uneasy.
Unpleasant!
However, he had already agreed to Kiyoshi's request, offering to have complete control over the body for a short period in exchange for Kiyoshi's safe passage through this ordeal.
Tsk, now that I think about it, the reason why Kiyoshi Zenin handed over his body to me so easily was probably because he was certain that I would never be able to take control of the body from him, right?
Just as Kiyoshi Zenin had predicted, Sukuna felt as if there was a part of his brain that was encased in steel.
That part is the secret of the Zenin Temple's core spiritual essence.
Let alone exploring its secrets, even just getting close to that area makes Sukuna feel her soul being constantly suppressed.
It seems he can't seize control of the brat's body in a short time; he needs more time to plan. Although this operation was somewhat unsuccessful, it did allow him to explore the connection between the brat's body and soul. Once he's slightly rid of the volcano in front of him, he'll transmit this information to the souls of his other fingers...
Just as Sukuna was lost in thought, Kiyoshi Zenin was sitting on the sofa in his inner space, listening to Sukuna's thoughts, which were like a broadcast.
Upon hearing Sukuna's plan, Kiyoshi Zenin's face revealed a strange expression.
Sukuna really suffered a lot in his own inner world.
Compared to the self-centeredness within Itadori's inner world, Sukuna was no different from a dog being trained at will in his own eyes.
Even sending Sukuna out to take her place was merely Kiyoshi Zenin's way of getting Sukuna to heal his body and taking the opportunity to observe and learn the combat techniques Sukuna displayed using his own body.
At the same time, allowing Sukuna to possess his body was also to imprint Sukuna's Cursed Energy into his flesh.
This is a setting in the Canon.
Because it has been soaked in the power of Sukuna for a long time, Itadori has some resistance to Sukuna's slashes, and has also acquired some of Sukuna's life-giving techniques.
Although it's possible to obtain Sukuna's spell formula by increasing his favorability, no one knows what Sukuna is really thinking.
Whether from the perspective of potentially facing Sukuna in the future or from the perspective of resolving his own predicament, handing over his body this time is a sure-fire deal.
As for the possibility that Sukuna might discover some secrets about his body, that's even more impossible. Sukuna may seem to have control over Kiyoshi Zenin's body, but in reality, Kiyoshi Zenin has simply delegated some authority to Sukuna.
He can sense all the changes in his own body, and he can cut off Sukuna's detection of his body at any time. He can even provide Sukuna with false physical information.
Chapter-100
The sea of fire came along with the roar of the Jogo, the scorching air vibrated in the flames, and the one-eyed creature burning with rage was fixed on the location of 'Kiyoshi Zenin'.
Those deep blue eyes were so conspicuous in the sea of fire that Jogo couldn't help but want to destroy them!
The sea of fire boiled and churned, and countless magmas burst randomly under the influence of the spell. Any random explosion could burn a Grade 1 sorcerer to ashes.
Sukuna stared expressionlessly at the sea of fire before him. The amplification brought to him by the Six Eyes was too great. Even though the lava controlled by the Jogo had random splashes, in the face of the Six Eyes' ability to observe and predict the direction of the flow of Cursed Energy, the random splashes that the Jogo perceived were almost no different from the previous warning.
He didn't even need to waste too much Cursed Energy to dodge the attacks. Sukuna stepped on the slashes and casually dodged the attacks of the Jogo in this sea of fire.
Currently, although his total Cursed Energy is not as high as that of the Flame Spirit, in terms of combat experience, the Flame Spirit's fighting style is terrifyingly crude.
A large amount of Cursed Energy is being wasted meaninglessly. Such a massive sea of fire doesn't even know how to use the terrain and the solidification effect of magma to continuously shrink its area. As long as the opponent doesn't realize that they need to compress their own space, Sukuna is confident that she won't be touched by the opponent's attack until her Cursed Energy is completely exhausted!
Watching Zenin-in-Qing writhe and thrash about in his own sea of fire, Jogo's face remained expressionless, but his astonishment and surprise made his mood sink.
Using such a large-scale fire attack, Jogo naturally knew that he needed to constantly reduce the opponent's space to maneuver in order to achieve greater results with less Cursed Energy.
However, the opponent flew around erratically like an eel during his attacks.
As soon as he tried to envelop the other party even slightly, the other party could always detect his movements immediately and quickly cut open with a slash, continuing the tug-of-war.
Moreover, the other party would occasionally stab him in the back from extremely tricky angles.
Although the opponent's slash wasn't particularly powerful, it wasn't the kind of attack that could be easily withstood by the naked body.
After a series of attacks, not only did he fail to achieve any results, but Kiyoshi Zenin also inflicted a cross-shaped wound on his chest.
Although this wound is nothing to the spirit, for the Jogo, being hit by the opponent during its own attack turn is the greatest humiliation.
Even so, Jogo remained calm, knowing that the more impatient he was at this moment, the more likely he was to give his opponent an opportunity.
He took a deep breath, as if a volcano were gathering its strength.
The extremely violent flame Cursed Energy not only did not weaken, but was continuously compressed within his body in a more restrained and dangerous way!
"call--!"
As he exhaled, the Jogo did not spew out flames again, but instead caused a sudden and dramatic change in the boiling sea of lava and fire that had been engulfing the entire street!
The rampant, exploding, spewing, and devouring crimson-gold magma seemed to be forcibly shaped by an invisible giant hand, instantly solidifying!
Under the forced intervention of the curse, the color of the flowing magma quickly changed from a dazzling orange-gold to a dark crimson. At this moment, the surface of the magma hardened instantly, forming a rough and hard black rock shell!
As the "click-clack" sound came, the world around us seemed like an old newspaper being folded up.
As the slightly cold and murderous sound of the Jogo came, he looked at Kiyoshi's face, which showed a calmness of complete farewell.
Since ordinary attacks cannot hit the agile Kiyoshi Zenin, then we will simply trap him within the Domain and use the Domain's [guaranteed hit] characteristic to attack him.
The Jogo could sense that the total amount of Cursed Energy within Kiyoshi's body was not as great as his own, and was even less than a third of his own.
Once Kiyoshi Zenin is brought into one's own territory, the opponent is essentially doomed.
Although casting a Domain requires a lot of Cursed Energy, Jogo was confident that the time his Domain would last would be enough to kill two Kiyoshi Zenin.
The reason why we were unwilling to use Domain Expansion in the past was quite simple.
He looked down on Kiyoshi Zenin, believing that using his Domain against such a weak being as Kiyoshi Zenin was an insult to him.
However, in the battle with 'Kiyoshi Zenin', Jogo, though unwilling, had to admit that if he did not activate his Domain, he would indeed be unable to kill Kiyoshi Zenin before human aid arrived.
Faced with such a crucial matter of right and wrong, Jogo always put his own interests after the collective interests of the Cursed Spirits.
Face and self-esteem are utterly insignificant in the face of the great world of Cursed Spirits!
The sound of the Jogo was somewhat hoarse. He looked at the calm Zenin monk before him and said indifferently:
"Domain Expansion! Coffin of the Iron Mountain!"
The black barrier closed, and the next moment, burning earth grew and spread on the barrier. Scorching magma spewed from the cracks in the ground with a joyful and sharp sound. The sea of fire scorched the ground into a blood red color, and the omnipresent magma looked like it was about to devour everyone.
Looking at the area before him, Sukuna smiled faintly. Yes, that's it!
The pace of the battle, from the beginning until now, has always been within my control!
The volcano-headed Cursed Spirit in front of us has a part of a brain, but it is just a Cursed Spirit.
The moment the Jogo expanded its Domain, the smile vanished from his lips. He simply looked calmly at Kiyoshi and said:
"Kid, I'll take your life. Here, you can't escape any of my attacks. Your strange eyes will be useless, and the turtle shell on your body won't protect you from being swallowed by the lava."
My Domain negated the effects of your spell; the moment you entered this place, your failure was already foreshadowed.
"You're very strong, kid. You're one of the strongest human sorcerers I've encountered in hundreds of years. To receive such praise from me, you can die with pride."
As Jogo spoke, he slowly raised his hand. As the surrounding space trembled, magma transformed into a giant hand and pressed down towards the direction of Zenin Temple Kiyoshi.
Even within the Domain, the terrifying power still shook the entire ground, and amidst the flying lava, Sukuna revealed a strange smile on his face.
"A mere Cursed Spirit, how dare it speak so boldly!"
