Ascending the Throne from the Pillar of Destruction

Sun Breathing - First Form: Waltz!

The Nichirin Blade, burning with scorching flames, erupted. The blade followed the body's movement, and an arc of fiery blade light instantly swept out.

Clang! The fiery blade light also shot out vertically, meeting Kurozawa's slash head-on.

The two fierce and sharp slashes collided like needles against wheat awns, then shattered, tore, and exploded.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Shards of blade light pierced through the surrounding space, leaving countless shimmering streaks like trailing light, then slowly dissipated.

Hyuga Wu's slash was superior to Kurozawa's.

A small remaining section of the fiery blade light charged fiercely, continuing to slash towards Kurozawa.

Kurozawa neither dodged nor evaded. He opened his left hand, and his palm, wreathed in Pitch-Black Aura, brutally swatted away the sharp slash.

Several fine bloodstains appeared on his palm, but they regenerated and healed within a single breath.

Originally, Hyuga Wu's fiery blade light contained the power of the sun attribute. As long as one was injured by it, their regenerative ability would be greatly suppressed, rendering the Demon body's advantage nonexistent.

But the Immortal Body had no such weakness. For Kurozawa, Hyuga Wu's attacks had been reduced to merely powerful slashes, lacking a fatally dangerous attribute.

With a獰笑, Kurozawa closed in.

In an instant, gripping Mingzhou with both hands, his arm muscles bulged layer upon layer, veins crisscrossing like swimming dragons, and he slashed down violently! Hyuga Wu's expression changed slightly. He held his sword horizontally in front of Mingzhou.

CRASH! The moment the two swords met, Hyuga Wu's body plummeted like a cannonball.

Kurozawa pressed down forcefully, his surging strength overwhelming Hyuga Wu.

Relying on the Sun Breathing technique, which had pushed his physique to the peak of human limits, Hyuga Wu likely possessed a terrifying strength of nearly thirty points. But he still couldn't compete with Kurozawa's Immortal Body.

Nakime intelligently moved buildings with sharp edges beneath Hyuga Wu, their pointed corners aimed at his spine.

Bang bang bang... In just a few seconds, Hyuga Wu's body fell over forty meters, smashing through solid Infinity Castle buildings.

Unfortunately, the body of a top swordsman was equally hard as steel. The impacts only made Hyuga Wu look a bit dishevelled; they didn't truly injure him.

Hongyue, who was following closely behind like a shark, seizing opportunities, her scarlet vertical pupils suddenly brightened.

She slightly bent her calves, her entire body's muscles tensing and exerting force, and a circle of air waves exploded outwards.

As if teleporting, Hongyue's body appeared behind Kurozawa.

Her right leg rose high, lifted above her head. Because she was exerting so much force, Hongyue's body curved into a backward arc, her slender, straight thigh like a forest axe blade.

BOOM! The air was pushed aside. The axe-like heavy leg fell.

Kurozawa flashed away, simultaneously turning and slashing towards Hyuga Wu's waist and abdomen.

Caught in a pincer attack by the two, Hyuga Wu's situation instantly became precarious. His face was heavy, his chest heaving violently, and Sun Breathing was operating at full power.

Sun Breathing - Seventh Form: Solar Halo Thrust!

Using the only thrusting technique of Sun Breathing, Hyuga Wu held the Nichirin Blade in his right hand and thrust straight upwards. He pressed the palm of his left hand against the hilt and pushed forcefully.

At the same time, circles of fiery flames erupted around him in rings, especially concentrated at his feet. In an instant, they exploded with a roar, creating an extremely strong propelling force.

Hongyue's pupils contracted. She quickly tilted her head back.

Whoosh! Like a daytime meteor shooting into the sky, the fiery stream of light broke through the two's encirclement in the blink of an eye, then stopped behind Hongyue.

Strands of hair fell. Hongyue, still shaken, turned around to look.

A little less than half of her right leg was gone, and a bloody mark appeared from her chin to her forehead, stinging with pain.

If she hadn't dodged in time, her brain would have been pierced by the Nichirin Blade's thrust.

The blade's edge hadn't directly touched her body; merely the sharpness generated by its rapid passage had cut her skin. Hongyue's body was much harder than steel, yet she was still injured by such residual effects.

Hyuga Wu's killing power was astonishing.

Kurozawa supported Hongyue. The two landed on the roof of a building that looked like a shop.

"How long to regenerate?" Kurozawa saw Hongyue's injuries. The sword mark on her face was minor, but the severed half of her right leg was more severe because Hongyue was still a Demon body and was countered by Sun Breathing's blade light.

Hongyue extended a hand, her arm transforming into a tentacle, and curled the severed limb back from several meters away, then pressed it against the wound.

In the blink of an eye, granulation tissue began to wriggle and fuse. However, due to the interference of the remaining fiery blade light, the regeneration speed was noticeably slower.

"Two minutes." Beneath her faceplate, Hongyue's gaze held a degree of apprehension.

She wouldn't be severely wounded by one blow, but facing Sun Breathing attacks, she was still dancing on a knife's edge. A slight lapse in attention could be fatal.

On the blade of Mingzhou, a streak of crimson blood was remarkably conspicuous.

Hyuga Wu's reaction was very fast, and his speed was also very fast. In terms of agility alone, he likely surpassed Kurozawa.

But Kurozawa had the dynamic vision provided by the Higan Suzume Eye. With Fighting Spirit Perception ineffective, this dynamic vision was equivalent to a weakened version of Fighting Spirit Perception and played a certain role, allowing Kurozawa to capture Hyuga Wu's movements.

Above, Hyuga Wu's legs were facing upwards, his face downwards, his legs firmly rooted on a horizontal wooden beam.

On his lower leg, there was a wound about three inches long, from which no blood flowed.

In just an instant, Hyuga Wu stopped the blood flow near the wound.

But regardless, he was still injured.

"After you've fully regenerated, come and help me."

Kurozawa's gaze was sharp as lightning. He looked up and met Hyuga Wu's Golden Eyes.

The next second, he slowly bent down, lowering his body, drawing Mingzhou back to his waist.

Whoosh. The Pitch-Black Aura condensed into a scabbard, encasing Mingzhou. The veins on his right hand, gripping Mingzhou, bulged, muscles layered over each other. Kurozawa was using almost all of his strength.

His aura became increasingly restrained, as if a ball of fire was growing from his heart, flowing through his limbs and bones, then returning to his right arm, injecting into Mingzhou.

Above, Hyuga Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, bringing his legs together and tensing, also poised to strike.

Water Breathing Secret Technique: Annihilation!

*Crack!* Dense cracks appeared on the scabbard.

Accompanied by a high-pitched sound like a dragon's roar, Mingzhou unsheathed an inch, and Kurozawa's figure vanished from his original position, shooting upwards.

Above, Hyuga Wu's Golden Eyes snapped open. He pushed off forcefully with his joined legs, his body shooting out like an arrow from a bowstring. At the same time, his body spun at high speed. Amidst the piercing whistle, seemingly endless scorching light flames burst from his Nichirin Blade.

Sun Breathing - Tenth Form: Brilliant Grace! The spiral sword light was wreathed in layers of scorching light flames, like a drill that could pierce through heaven and earth, or like the roaring head of a flame dragon, churning the air, creating violent turbulence, and rapidly descending.

Across from him, Kurozawa's eyes widened. His eye sockets split, and threads of blood flowed out. His whites were full of dense, terrifying bloodshot veins.

He pushed his dynamic vision to its limit, taking in every detail of Hyuga Wu's attack, causing his eyes to bulge and ache, and his temples to throb incessantly.

The moment the spiral sword light was about to reach him, the scabbard completely shattered, and Mingzhou slashed out inch by inch.

The sword light, seemingly filling the entire space, swept out like a flood tide swallowing everything. The black tide ebbed and flowed, the fiercest and most powerful slashes all surging towards the weak points Kurozawa had perceived.

Only then did a clang sound echo belatedly. Under the intense recoil, Kurozawa's right arm muscles tore, blood vessels burst, and streams of blood shot into the distance, landing on some houses and piercing small holes straight through them.

In an instant, the Tenth Form of Sun Breathing and the Secret Technique of Water Breathing collided.

*Boom!* Dazzling light exploded. Rings of circular airwaves vibrated out from the center of the two slashes, pushing the air and forming a huge repulsive force. As the airwaves rolled over, the surrounding buildings instantly shattered as if they had endured countless slashes.

Hongyue, who was relatively close, her expression changed slightly. She pushed off with her intact left leg, retreating repeatedly.
