Minoru’s Cursed Energy was being consumed at an extremely terrifying speed but he didn’t care.
This was the effect he wanted.
To use the domain’s sure-hit effect to firmly trap, or even kill, these three top-tier demons here.
This would at least buy Yuji and the others safe escape time.
He knew that with the total amount of Cursed Energy from one Sukuna finger, the Domain couldn’t be maintained for long.
But this was enough.
Minoru stood in the center of the bone shrine, his eyes sweeping over the three demons constantly shattering in the endless slashes, and his lips curled into an extremely cold arc.
“Open!”
The temperature within the domain suddenly soared, and air currents wildly converged and compressed in Minoru’s hands, erupting with a fierce glow.
The blazing arrow, which had once blasted half of Muzan’s body away and forced his panicked retreat, arrived once more.
At this moment, that ocean of flesh and blood—Kibutsuji Muzan’s true form—which was frantically writhing and regenerating amidst the countless slashes, erupted with an unprecedented terror originating from the deepest part of its soul.
No!!!
That move again!
And…
it’s inside this damned, inescapable place!
It was death in the truest sense.
Muzan could clearly feel that if he were hit head-on by this arrow, he would die.
He would truly die!!!
Muzan didn’t even have time to hesitate, instantly draining the power of Kokushibo and Doma.
“Muzan!
No!!!” Kokushibo’s remaining consciousness let out a horrified roar.
“Oh dear…
this is really…” Doma’s consciousness was swallowed in shock.
“Become my shield!
This is your supreme honor!!!”
Muzan let out a hysterical scream, and the Demon Cells within his body activated wildly.
Devour!
In an instant, his two strongest Upper Rank Demons, along with all the power they had accumulated over hundreds of years, were ruthlessly merged in an instant, turning into an extremely thick shield, desperately blocking his front.
But the moment that massive shield took shape, a sudden change occurred.
“Cannot escape… You are reading on g.com, the official source.
cannot resist…”
Muzan’s desperate shriek emanated from the massive core of flesh and blood.
“Then let’s all be destroyed!!!”
BOOM!!!
Centered on Muzan’s residual body, a dark-red shockwave exploded like a supernova.
This was the final, all-out counterattack by Muzan, the progenitor of demons.
“Hm?!
This move is!!!” Minoru’s pupils suddenly constricted.
He recognized the move, this was one of Muzan’s ultimate trump cards.
An ultimate Blood Demon Art capable of instantly disrupting the nervous system and grinding flesh into a bloody pulp.
A terrifying technique used during the final battle of the original series, powerful enough to affect the entire domain, potentially tearing the domain’s boundary and impacting Yuji and his companions.
In a flash of lightning, he made his decision.
“Don’t even think about spreading!”
The arrow was on the string, and the destructive energy of Open was at its critical point of peak release.
Cursed Energy surged back wildly around him, transforming into a barrier that firmly locked down all paths for the shockwave to spread.
Facing this strike, Minoru was utterly fearless.
Even if it genuinely injured him, it wouldn’t matter at all.
He had made ample preparations.
Cursed Energy reinforced his entire body.
WHOOSH!
The arrow composed of flames flew.
RUMBLE!
The dark-red shockwave and the blazing arrow collided head-on and a brief stalemate ensued.
The powerful aftermath of the Blood Demon Art caused Minoru’s body to tremble slightly.
A trickle of blood slowly slid down from his tightly pressed lips, drawing a line of blood across his cheek.
Starting from the core point of collision, the dark red shockwave was utterly pierced and vaporized.
“Im…pos…si…ble!!!”
Muzan only managed to utter these fragments of despair.
PFFT!
It couldn’t even hold up for a single second and was completely vaporized.
Immediately afterward, the flame arrow, which had pierced the shield without losing any of its power, slammed into Muzan’s body.
BOOM!
The entire Malevolent Shrine shook under this single strike, even beginning to collapse.
A mushroom cloud erupted at the center of the domain.
Muzan’s vast body, along with every cell he relied on for survival, was burned again and again in this sun-like heat.
This was even more painful than the damage Yoriichi had inflicted upon him back then.
Muzan felt his soul being roasted over a fire.
Every thought was screaming, and every shred of consciousness was howling.
He wanted to die!
For the first time, he craved the arrival of death so intensely.
But he couldn’t die.
After all, he still had one leg left inside the Infinity Castle.
The slashes of the Malevolent Shrine were constantly cutting him.
The energy of Open was constantly incinerating him.
And his passively triggered regeneration ability was frantically trying to heal him.
Cutting, burning, regenerating!
These three forces created a brutal cycle upon his residual body.
When the domain shattered, only a piece of charred flesh residue, about the size of a fingernail, was left wriggling on the scorched earth.
Under this fatal attack, Muzan’s body had reached the limit of its regeneration.
Infinity Castle, Deepest Layer.
A leg was twitching and spasming, as if suffering some kind of synchronized damage across space.
Every cell composing this leg was repeatedly experiencing the ultimate pain.
The visceral fear of Minoru, originating from his main body, was deeply imprinted on this final remnant.
Muzan was not dead but his current state was ten thousand times more agonizing than death.
His regeneration had reached its limit.
Until he fully recovered to his peak state, as long as this leg existed, constant pain would accompany him.
Unless he consumed a large number of humans, it would take at least a hundred years for him to fully recover.
