Ascending the Throne from the Pillar of Destruction

Over three thousand Potential Points vanished instantly.

At the same time, alternating sensations of hot and cold spread throughout Kurozawa's body. Wherever it went, it felt like countless tiny mouths and hands were gently massaging him, wave after wave of irresistible tingling impacting his nerves.

"This feeling... it's truly addicting."

Kurozawa closed his eyes slightly, feeling the explosive changes within his body.

The sensation of a leap in life form, of a flawed physique slowly being perfected, gave Kurozawa an unprecedented sense of power and fulfillment.

It was as if his previous Demon Body had, in places he couldn't see, transparent and empty voids. Now, those voids were filled, gradually becoming a true, seamless whole. The Immortal Demon Body began to perfect itself.

This process lasted for about twenty seconds.

Kurozawa opened his eyes, which sparkled with spirit, brilliant like the midday sun.

He suddenly clenched his fists, and the surrounding air abruptly made a dull sonic boom.

"Alright, Nakime, open the Infinity Castle."

As soon as the command was given, ripples appeared in the surrounding space. A portal to the Infinity Castle instantly opened before Kurozawa and Hongyue.

His Fighting Spirit Perception probed inside, unable to find any trace of Hyuga Wu, but Nakime was in a terrible state, fleeing desperately.

The two stepped inside simultaneously. The scenery before them changed from the pouring rain of Asakusa to the silent Infinity Castle.

*Clang!* A vast expanse of white sword light was the first thing to greet Kurozawa's eyes.

He focused his mind, and Mingzhou instantly slashed horizontally.

Amidst the rapid explosions, like a paper cutter slicing through paper, a sharp, pitch-black sword light split the vast white, seemingly omnipresent sword light into two halves.

The sword light shattered, its power weakened, and the aftershocks continued to surge forward.

Hongyue spun and kicked, her body constantly moving. Amidst the dense sonic booms, the attacks were all blocked.

After a breath, her long, straight legs slowly stopped. Steam-like air currents seemed to swirl and rise around her.

Her Demon Body collided head-on with the Sun Breathing slash. Many fine sword marks appeared on her blood armor, but this time they didn't penetrate the defense. They were just insignificant damages that regenerated completely in an instant.

The part of Muzan Kibutsuji's emotions within her probably felt capable again and stirred restlessly.

Hongyue's eyes deformed again, her scarlet vertical pupils staring coldly and gleefully at Hyuga Wu.

At the same time, Hyuga Wu's figure appeared in their sight.

He moved through the dense cluster of buildings like a streak of light, rapidly closing the distance between himself and Kurozawa's group.

Looking down, Kurozawa found himself standing on the top of a pavilion. His ears were filled with the sound of wind whistling. This pavilion was rapidly retreating, the buildings behind it automatically separating, then quickly closing up, appearing on Hyuga Wu's path.

Nakime had set Kurozawa and Hongyue's landing point on her attic, which just solved an urgent problem.

Even though the Infinity Castle was under her control, with countless buildings continuously trying to intercept Hyuga Wu, due to the immense gap in raw strength, she still couldn't escape Hyuga Wu's pursuit.

However, being able to trap Hyuga Wu, who was completely on a different level, for nearly ten minutes was enough to demonstrate the Infinity Castle's supernatural nature.

This was far beyond what ordinary Blood Demon Arts could compare to.

Now, Kurozawa held Mingzhou, his posture tall and straight. Hongyue stood beside him, completely enveloped in scarlet blood armor.

The two looked down at Hyuga Wu.

Hyuga Wu's face on the opposite side also changed.

Because of the Transparent World, he couldn't perceive Kurozawa's Fighting Spirit fluctuations, but judging from the slash just now, Kurozawa's strength had greatly increased, to the point where he could keep up with his slashes.

Although that slash had its power dispersed due to the distance, this was the first time Hyuga Wu had encountered someone who could block his slash.

In the previous fight, even Hongyue at full burst was defeated with one blow, instantly suffering severe injuries.

"Trapped me in the Infinity Castle, and then seized the opportunity to break through."

A touch of solemnity appeared on Hyuga Wu's consistently calm face.

Not just Kurozawa, but Hongyue's Fighting Spirit had solidified in his perception, with obvious pressure and imposing momentum.

The current Hongyue, even though her Demon Body was countered by Sun Breathing slashes, was no longer an opponent he could severely injure with a single move.

Kurozawa watched Hyuga Wu's movements, while also sinking his mind, glancing at the gray panel with some peripheral vision.

Without using Total Concentration and Higan Suzume Eye, his basic attributes had changed drastically.

Strength: 21 Agility: 20 Constitution: 25 Intelligence: 10 When he sparred with Hongyue last time, his average basic attributes were around 13 points. Just perfecting the Immortal Demon Body brought an almost double increase.

With every move, the surging, abundant power within his body felt almost overflowing.

In the Skills section, the four characters for Immortal Demon Body also changed. The character for Demon twisted and disappeared, leaving only three characters.

Immortal Body.

Previously, when facing Hongyue, Kurozawa had a feeling that she was his bloodline origin. If Hongyue wanted to, she could use that Bloodline Demon Hand move against Kurozawa, because the demon blood in Kurozawa's body, tracing back to its source, indeed belonged to Hongyue.

But now it was different. That faint connection and feeling of being controlled completely disappeared.

The perfected Immortal Body had surpassed Hongyue in terms of life form, directly severing her control over the bloodline.

"Hyuga Wu, you don't understand who you are fighting against."

The only chance to instantly kill Kurozawa was when Hyuga Wu made his first move.

But he underestimated Kurozawa and had already missed the best opportunity.

The air vibrated, black hair danced wildly, and Kurozawa's aura climbed steadily. In an instant, powerful Fighting Spirit solidified, stirring up gusts of howling wind.

Huuu. Strong, powerful breathing sounds were like muffled thunder rumbling through the Infinity Castle.

Total Concentration! Two thick streams of white air were drawn into Kurozawa's body. A large amount of aura circulated rapidly within him, stimulating blood circulation and accelerating his heartbeat. Every single cell became active and surged, and his attributes instantly increased by thirty percent.

At the same time, the fourth stage of Higan Suzume Eye activated. Kurozawa's eyes were filled with dense, intricate patterns of red. Veins bulged from the corners of his eyes to his temples, and his attributes increased yet again.

Strength: 32.

Agility: 30. Constitution: 37. For the first time ever, his average combat attributes surpassed the thirty mark. Kurozawa speculated that Hongyue's attributes were likely no more than this.

He rotated his wrist, and Mingzhou gave a flick. A sharp flash of light from the blade shot straight towards Hyuga Wu in a vertical direction.

At the same time, he lightly tapped his toes and leaped from the pavilion where Nakime was located. After landing on a spiral staircase, his legs truly exerted force.

*Bang!* An abrupt explosive sound rang out. The stairs beneath his feet couldn't withstand Kurozawa's force and instantly shattered into pieces.

Immediately after, Kurozawa's figure was like lightning. Amidst a series of explosive sounds, he charged straight towards Hyuga Wu's location. Behind him, a large number of buildings shattered into irregular chunks of wood, scattering everywhere.

Hongyue followed closely, moving at high speed on the flank.

Now the frontal combat was Kurozawa's responsibility, but she could also exert significant pressure on Hyuga Wu from the side.

Hyuga Wu's combat power was strong, but his body was fragile, so he didn't dare to underestimate Hongyue's attacks.
