I have no reason to fear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji clenched his fists, veins bulging, his gaze growing colder; the humiliation he suffered centuries ago at the hands of Kyojuro Rengoku, he would repay entirely upon Chu Yang today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four demons circling Chu Yang sensed Muzan Kibutsuji’s will, their faces twisting into grotesque snarls; as they roared toward Chu Yang, saliva dripped from their jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems Itachi delight in being ruled by primal instinct,” Chu Yang taunted with amusement. “Is this the evolution Itachi worship? I must say, your taste truly is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chu Yang could finish, Muzan Kibutsuji let out a cold snort, and the four demons attacked simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to any demon Chu Yang had previously encountered, these four temporary creations were even more deformed and hideous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had lost all human form, resembling stitched-together beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson fur covered their entire bodies; their limbs resembled apes, their heads like starving wolves, their backs sprouted wings, and their spines extended beyond their tails into hooked, whip-like appendages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grotesque tails lashed toward Chu Yang like venomous snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing their assault, Chu Yang used Kenbunshoku to prepare in advance; he stepped back deliberately, blocking the rear monster’s strike with his broad halberd, then swung it violently in a wide arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The halberd, wreathed in flame, struck each tail aimed at him, severing the hooked spines in one clean cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames clung like parasitic worms, burning up the wounds along the tails, reducing the monsters’ flesh to charred pulp as they shrieked in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roaring flames caused Muzan Kibutsuji’s eyes to flicker with fear—he recognized this as the power of Sun Breathing, the very force he had once feared most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he felt slight relief: the monsters had not been slain in a single blow, but slowly rose to their feet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Chu Yang realized the monsters’ trait: not only were their strength and speed at the peak level, but they also possessed recovery power rivaling Muzan Kibutsuji’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Muzan Kibutsuji, they had multiple hearts and brains, though less refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If your little toys are only this strong, Itachi’ve disappointed me,” Chu Yang planted his halberd into the earth and grinned. “Friendly reminder—Itachi’re running out of time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji took a deep breath, his complexion flushing red—whether from rage or blood surging, he offered a sickly smile. “Of course, this is not all. Enjoy what follows—this is a treatment even Kyojuro Rengoku never received!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infinity Castle began to shake violently; sealed rooms opened, and countless monsters emerged from the darkness, flickering in and out of view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji spread his arms and laughed hysterically. “These are a thousand years’ worth of blood I’ve hoarded—even if Kyojuro Rengoku were reborn, he would die here today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Muzan Kibutsuji’s body began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, crimson fur covered his entire frame; grotesque whip-like spines erupted from his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He transformed from a gentleman in a suit into a blood-drinking monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From this day forward, the Demon Slayer Corps will cease to exist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji unleashed his emotions freely, charging toward Chu Yang alongside countless monsters—a tidal wave of darkness threatening to drown the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tide of battle seemed reversed, yet Chu Yang remained calm, standing firm, his hands crossed atop the halberd’s haft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi don’t seriously believe this is your home turf, do Itachi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Chu Yang’s next action left Muzan Kibutsuji bewildered: in the latter’s eyes, Chu Yang’s fingers were moving in irregular, meaningless patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither sword technique nor a new breathing style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The motions were clearly meaningless, yet for some reason, Muzan Kibutsuji’s heart suddenly filled with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the horde of monsters was about to touch Chu Yang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground of Infinity Castle cracked open; countless emerald trees erupted upward, hurling the beasts into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the eerie Infinity Castle became a lush, vibrant forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick vines and roots coiled across the ground like colossal anacondas, snatching any monster that dared approach Chu Yang and crushing them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire forest moved like a living entity, silently guarding Chu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji stared in bewilderment at the world turned upside down, his mind filled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did my Infinity Castle go? Am I dreaming? Warm blood trickled to his feet—he snapped back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him lay a vast pile of monster corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji looked up at Chu Yang, a question rising in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he still human? Or… is he the true god?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Infinity Castle, the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former peace and serenity had been consumed by fire; every inch was a battlefield, littered with blood and severed limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, without Muzan Kibutsuji’s direct involvement, the Upper Moon demons—having lost Dojima and Akaza—could not gain advantage over the Pillars, all of whom had awakened the Demon Slayer Mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uzui Tengen, the second-oldest among the Pillars, faced Upper Moon Six, Gyutaro and Daki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before awakening the Mark, Uzui Tengen had struggled terribly against the siblings—a fact already proven in the original timeline—but now, with the Mark, the situation was entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single glance, Daki was instantly slain by Uzui Tengen, unable to even retaliate; Gyutaro’s appearance failed to overcome Uzui Tengen’s vastly enhanced speed and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even together, the siblings could barely hold their ground before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Gyutaro was the true Upper Moon Six; Daki’s power was largely hollow, making her the easy breakthrough point for Uzui Tengen to kill them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upper Moon Five, Yushiro, was faced by Inosuke Hashibira and Mitsuri Kanroji. The two were evenly matched; though Mitsuri Kanroji was still young, her extraordinary strength, amplified by the Mark, delivered devastating blows, making her the primary force in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upper Moon Four, Hantengu, faced Shinobu Kocho and Muichiro Tokito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Shinobu and Muichiro, this was a formidable foe; Hantengu’s clone ability nullified numerical advantage. As his clones multiplied, the two fell into disadvantage—making them the only team visibly struggling on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, as the second-strongest after Muzan Kibutsuji, Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, was so powerful that the Demon Slayer Corps had to deploy three Pillars to match him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanemi Shinazugawa, Kyojuro Rengoku, and Giyu Tomioka joined forces against Kokushibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even under such odds, Kokushibo fought them evenly, holding his ground without yielding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stunned Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who watched from the rear—he could not imagine how the battle would have continued had the Demon Slayer Corps not discovered the Mark in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Ubuyashiki Kagaya stood former Water Pillar Tengen Uzui and former Sound Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa, while behind them, the medics Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji stood ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not know that Muzan Kibutsuji’s servant, the space-type Blood Demon Art user, Muzan’s attendant, had originally been assigned to assassinate Ubuyashiki Kagaya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the shocking transformation inside Infinity Castle, she had to return to stabilize its spatial structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she appeared now and succeeded in assassinating Ubuyashiki Kagaya, it would be a devastating blow to the Demon Slayer Corps’ morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this did not happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang had, once again, subtly averted a crisis for the Demon Slayer Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet from the broader perspective of the war, the Demon Slayer Corps remained at a disadvantage, for beyond the Upper Moons, the Lower Moons were leading hordes of demons to slaughter swordsmen with overwhelming superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubuyashiki Kagaya was frantic; before the battle, he had been confident of victory in this war that determined humanity’s fate. But since Chu Yang had vanished without a trace, his confidence had steadily crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly remembered: victory had always hinged on Chu Yang alone—just as he had seen in one of his premonitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t stay here guarding me,” Ubuyashiki Kagaya turned to Tengen Uzui and Sanemi Shinazugawa. “Go stop the Lower Moons. Only Itachi can save those swordsmen now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tengen Uzui hesitated. “What if something happens to Itachi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubuyashiki Kagaya shook his head. “My death won’t change the outcome. Itachi should have joined the battle from the start. It’s not too late—Itachi can still save many lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tengen Uzui and Sanemi Shinazugawa still hesitated; they knew their lord was saying this to save the swordsmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I have to kill myself right here before Itachi’ll act?” Ubuyashiki Kagaya snapped at his subordinates for the first time; as he spoke, he bit his lip, and blood slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the two no longer hesitated—they vanished from Ubuyashiki Kagaya’s side and joined the battlefield, joining forces to fight the six Lower Moons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dire situation began to ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord, rest assured—I am a swordsman too. I will protect your safety!” Shinobu Kocho declared firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will too,” Mitsuri Kanroji added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank Itachi,” Ubuyashiki Kagaya smiled and nodded, then tightly clasped his wife, Amane’s, hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple silently prayed together, hoping for a turning point soon, so more of these living souls might survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven seemed to hear their prayer—the entire Demon Slayer Corps encampment suddenly trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pitch-black sky tore open, revealing more and more black holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the darkness, countless trees extended outward, swelling as if trying to burst the spatial prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This terrifying sight caused both sides to momentarily halt their fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo glimpsed a fragment of Infinity Castle through a rift in space, shuddered, and exclaimed: “What is Muzan doing? Why is she bringing Infinity Castle here? Could it be… that Master Muzan has already won?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo’s voice echoed across the entire battlefield. After a moment of silence, a deafening roar of celebration erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daki cheered wildly, sneering at Uzui Tengen, who had crushed them: “What now? Itachi’re going to lose! When Master Muzan arrives, everyone dies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gyutaro licked his lips, smirking coldly at Uzui Tengen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uzui Tengen said nothing, only calculating in his mind: at any cost, he must kill these two siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yushiro, hidden within his sturdy vessel, wobbled and mocked Inosuke Hashibira and Mitsuri Kanroji with nearly identical words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hantengu did not mock Shinobu and Muichiro; instead, he reverted to his timid old-man form and sighed in relief: “Thank goodness Master Muzan arrived—I might have died here otherwise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the only Lower Moon who had held the upper hand, yet he spoke this way—making his words even more ironic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo remained silent, his aura suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanemi Shinazugawa clasped his hands together, already resolved to die alongside Kokushibo—if he could eliminate this strongest Upper Moon, the others would have a better chance against Muzan Kibutsuji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyojuro Rengoku held the same resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Demon Slayer Corps, every face was pale; many were dazed, on the verge of abandoning hope of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying vision above had gradually calmed, and the entire space began to stabilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has he really lost? Ubuyashiki Kyojuro stared fixedly at the cracks in the sky, his pupils filled with bloodshot veins—this was not the future he had seen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused to believe it, and so did Shinobu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He will never lose!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the cracks vanished completely, replaced by dense trees that had silently taken over more than half the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the largest tree—its trunk requiring dozens of people to encircle—had a figure at its peak, growing clearer under the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carried something resembling a coffin on his shoulder, and held a human head in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull’s face was dominated by a massive eyeball, its gaze brimming with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demi, who had been smug moments earlier, recognized the head and turned pale, screaming, “Myne!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Itachi know it? Then consider it a gift!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Myne’s head was thrown outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demi instinctively reached out to catch it, but the head turned to ash midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo looked up, his expression grim—he saw no familiar figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was not Muzan Kibutsuji!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle within Infinity Castle had ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myne was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man who emerged was not Muzan Kibutsuji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every demon present understood what this meant: they had lost, utterly and completely. From this day forward, demons might never exist again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“HAHAHAHA!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubuyashiki Kyojuro pounded the railing he leaned on, laughing with unprecedented abandon—listen closely, and Itachi could hear faint sobs beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His laughter expelled a thousand years of bitterness from the Demon Slayer Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubuyashiki’s laughter echoed across the battlefield, standing in stark contrast to the earlier arrogant cackles of the Upper Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t laugh! Don’t Itachi dare laugh! Itachi damned human, vile worm!” Demi’s emotions shattered; she spat venomous curses, wishing she could tear this man’s mouth apart right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant, Uzui Tengen’s Nichirin Blade slashed a brilliant silver arc through the night, cleanly severing her head—Demi’s curses cut off abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demi did not die, but she was too terrified to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless both siblings were beheaded simultaneously, one of them would endlessly revive—otherwise, Demi would have died hundreds of times under Uzui Tengen’s blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to collapse emotionally was the cowardly Hantengu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its Blood Demon Art spiraled out of control, going completely berserk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its four emotional avatars fused into one, and the final amalgamation descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zohakuten! The original cowardly demon within also transformed—its body swelled, its expression shifting from timid to grotesquely ferocious, eyes blood-red, and on its tongue faintly carved the character “Hate”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Hantengu’s final emotional avatar—the Hate Demon—and its last safeguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by survival instinct, Hantengu unleashed its full power without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fushiguro Sanemi and Shinobu suddenly faced overwhelming pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Zohakuten or the Hate Demon, both could wield all the Blood Demon Arts of the previous four avatars—in other words, Fushiguro Sanemi and Shinobu were each fighting all four emotional avatars at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them had to face four opponents each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the situation grew dire, Mukurogawa Gyomei, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Tomioka Giyu simultaneously entered the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They no longer needed to face Kokushibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the one who dealt with Kokushibo had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, Kokushibo’s thoughts were not on these three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged beyond reason, Kokushibo’s six eyes locked onto the tree coffin slung over Chu Yang’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a strong premonition: Muzan Kibutsuji was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo felt it had not yet lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it defeated this man carrying the tree coffin and freed Muzan Kibutsuji, victory would still be theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Kokushibo charged toward Chu Yang with furious momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Chu Yang had to keep Muzan alive—he simply couldn’t kill the monster with five brains and seven hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji centuries ago was different from the Muzan of today—at least his regeneration could now greatly resist the effects of the Sun Breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many times Chu Yang tried to kill it inside Infinity Castle, its terrifying rapid regeneration always revived it at the last moment—this was why Muzan had dragged Chu Yang on for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang realized he couldn’t handle this thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To permanently kill Muzan Kibutsuji, he had to wait for dawn, letting sunlight burn it to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent Muzan from escaping again, as he had centuries ago, Chu Yang could only seal him inside the tree coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect seemed quite effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo sprinted up the tree trunk with ease, ascending straight toward Chu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A peculiar being—he remained a swordsman even as a demon, the only demon among the Twelve Kizuki to wield Breathing Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding Muzan’s absurd regeneration, in raw destructive power, Kokushibo was no weaker than Muzan himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo could also fight in his Demon Mark state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Pillar who faced Kokushibo met nearly the same fate as one who faced Muzan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, Kokushibo’s opponent this time was Chu Yang—no matter how powerful its destruction, it could not pierce Chu Yang’s Armament Haki. At the instant it reached the tree’s peak, Kokushibo’s Nichirin Blade, “Kyokujinshinjo,” changed form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade writhed like living flesh, elongating and sprouting countless sharp edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a weapon forged by Kokushibo’s own flesh and bone, this was its true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mukurogawa Gyomei and the others finally realized…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo had held back during his battle with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now unleashing his full power, Kokushibo radiated a suffocating aura—even from afar, it sent chills through everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang stretched his limbs, a flicker of delight in his eyes—he preferred fighting Kokushibo, this berserker type, over Muzan, that endless-healing cheat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang exhaled slowly, and the long breath instantly ignited into golden flames, soon wrapping his entire body, making him glow like a sun fallen to earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So blinding was Chu Yang’s radiance that many demons below mistook it for dawn, panicking and fleeing—only to be cut down one by one by Demon Slayer swordsmen led by Rokujyo Saigyouji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lower Moons were slain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing such an enemy, Kokushibo did not retreat—instead, she charged at Chu Yang with even greater determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her greatest regret in life had been living forever in the shadow of Kyojuro Rengoku—even after becoming a demon and breaking the Demon Mark’s curse, she still lost to the aged Kyojuro Rengoku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing to a dying old man was bitterly ironic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo had transformed herself into this monstrous form solely to defeat Kyojuro Rengoku—but Kyojuro Rengoku had died with final victory, meaning Kokushibo had never truly surpassed him, never washed away her defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Chu Yang, who also practiced Sun Breathing, stood before her—the blinding light was so familiar. Killing him would be equivalent to defeating Kyojuro Rengoku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this moment, Kokushibo saw only Chu Yang; even the tree coffin sealing Muzan faded from her vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time and space slowed in Kokushibo’s eyes—she saw Chu Yang’s greatsword sheathed in layers of flame, swinging toward her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo raised her blade to meet it, aiming precisely for Chu Yang’s vital point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two blades did not clash—they missed by a hair’s breadth, yet both struck their opponent’s neck simultaneously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kyokujinshinjo” clashed violently with Armament Haki; Chu Yang’s flames entangled and tore at the blade’s living flesh, until the flesh shattered and “Kyokujinshinjo” snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment… the greatsword severed Kokushibo’s neck; her head, still frozen in shock, soared high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t “Kyokujinshinjo” cut through his neck? He’s just a human!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tonji and Akaza were still alive, they might have explained why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo felt she had lost again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost again to Sun Breathing! Lost again to Kyojuro Rengoku!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve paid such a terrible price!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For centuries I’ve been this grotesque demon—why am I still defeated by that man? If I could break past my limits, could I defeat this enemy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this question, Kokushibo glanced at Chu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood amid layers of flame, terrifyingly majestic, like a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more—I still couldn’t sever his neck…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kokushibo, now understanding, smiled a bitter smile, her consciousness sinking into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body erupted in blazing fire, instantly reducing her to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment Kokushibo fell…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last shred of hope in the remaining demons shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chu Yang’s gaze swept over them, it burned like the sun upon their flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demons were in full retreat, but the strange forest trapped them, preventing escape from the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining Twelve Kizuki, paralyzed by terror, were systematically beheaded by the Pillars in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint red glow bloomed on the horizon, mirroring Chu Yang’s golden flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“AAAAAAHHHH!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So painful, so painful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Save me, I don’t want to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless wails of demons echoed above the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, yet not a single swordsman found it noisy; their eyes filled with tears as they silently mourned their fallen comrades and loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything is over…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be no more demons in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang carried the wooden coffin to the open ground at the center of the battlefield, placed it down before all eyes, and slowly opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nocturne, come out and bask in the sun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the words left his lips than a dark shadow burst from the coffin; the warm sunlight struck the shadow, and a piercing scream rang out—uniquely pleasing to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its powerful regenerative ability prevented Muzan Kibutsuji from dying quickly like other demons, greatly prolonging its torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubuyashiki Kagaya was supported by his wife nearby, watching silently as Muzan Kibutsuji burned under the blazing sun. He whispered, “Does it hurt? The pain Itachi suffer now is the same pain every generation of the Ubuyashiki family has endured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the moment we are born, we are cursed because of Itachi—born in suffering, dying in suffering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beyond the Ubuyashiki family, countless innocent lives have been taken by Itachi—those who refused to become demons, yet were forced into it—how much pain did they endure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feel this pain fully. Never forget it, even when Itachi descend into hell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji glared furiously at Ubuyashiki Kagaya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames engulfing his entire body, he charged toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Pillars stood before Ubuyashiki Kagaya, forming an impassable barrier against Muzan Kibutsuji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, these people were mere ants in his eyes—how dare they block his path? “I won’t accept this! If only I had found the Blue Bianhua , Itachi all would have been wiped out long ago!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chu Yang quietly stepped beside Muzan Kibutsuji, utterly unfazed by the flames, placing one hand on its head and whispering softly into its ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do Itachi know why Itachi could never find the Blue Bianhua ?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because the Blue Bianhua  only blooms in daylight—and demons cannot see it. Ha ha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muzan Kibutsuji’s pupils shrank violently, rage blazing in its eyes; its fingers trembled as it pointed at Chu Yang. “Itachi… Itachi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it cast only a venomous glance before being consumed by fire, its ashes scattering into the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thousand-year war between humans and demons ended. The next day, Ubuyashiki Kagaya began dismissing the swordsmen one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each departing swordsman received a generous severance payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough to live comfortably for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the wealthy Ubuyashiki family, this was nothing. Had it been possible, Ubuyashiki Kagaya would have wished every swordsman alive today to collect this payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most swordsmen hoped to live out their remaining years in peace—including Kanao Tsuyuri, who had always wished her sister Shinobu Kocho would never join the Demon Slayer Corps, but instead live as an ordinary girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, both sisters could live this life—carefree, like ordinary girls, no longer fearing they might die on their next mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To honor Kanao Tsuyuri’s years of tending to the wounded, Ubuyashiki Kagaya gifted her the Butterfly House, allowing the sisters to continue practicing medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinobu and her master, Tengen Uzui, had a long, heartfelt conversation, after which Shinobu decided to stay at the Butterfly House and live with Kanao and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tengen Uzui returned to the deep mountains to resume his seclusion; Sanemi Shinazugawa chose to stay by his master’s side, though he occasionally visited the Butterfly House to see Shinobu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet affection seemed to be growing between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Ubuyashiki Kagaya’s counsel, Mitsuri Kanroji finally laid down her burdens and set out for home, planning to confess everything to her younger brother, Obanai Iguro, and seek his forgiveness so they could live together again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know that Obanai Iguro had long since learned the truth—that their siblings had been killed by their mother after she became a demon, and that Mitsuri had held her off until dawn, when the sunlight burned her to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once their differences were resolved, the two brothers would walk forward, supporting each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gyomei Himejima returned to the temple to resume his training, but now the temple housed additional children who had lost their families—thanks to Ubuyashiki Kagaya’s aid, it had become an orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children’s laughter and chatter sometimes interrupted Gyomei Himejima’s chanting, yet he showed not a trace of annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes held no more tears—only a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyojuro Rengoku returned home, greeted by a father no longer broken, and a younger brother who had laid down his sword and could now live in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi’ve worked hard, Kyojuro,” Kyojuro’s father gently stroked his son’s hair—the same fiery red locks as his own—filling him with immense pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyojuro Rengoku’s eyes were already brimming with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the very night the war ended, Inosuke Hashibira confessed his feelings to Mitsuri Kanroji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of shock, Mitsuri Kanroji accepted his feelings; the two opened a ramen shop near the Butterfly House, where travelers and patients alike queued up—business thrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kanao Tsuyuri often brought people from the Butterfly House to support them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others refused to leave. Tengen Uzui had no desire to return to ninja life; he remained beside Ubuyashiki Kagaya with his three beautiful wives, mooching meals and lodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Chu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not yet begun to enjoy the life ahead when his consciousness was drawn into the Soul Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, the once-empty throne held two new figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi just came last time—why are Itachi back so soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The frequency of your visits to the Soul Palace has been unusually high lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask, which one of Itachi is causing trouble this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirate Chu Yang, Hokage Chu Yang, and Magic Chu Yang appeared in the Soul Palace, all complaining; each had their own duties—especially Magic Chu Yang, who had spent every day recently in the potion lab conducting research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I cleared it!” Demon Slayer Chu Yang raised his hand triumphantly. “Just killed Muzan Kibutsuji. All main characters survived. How’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nice job, congratulations!” Pirate Chu Yang chuckled. “Didn’t expect Itachi—the latest to enter—to be the first to clear it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hokage Chu Yang clicked his tongue, enviously: “What’s this ‘clearing’ nonsense? There’s no forced mission. Why rush? Can’t Itachi just take it slow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Slayer Chu Yang grinned. “Heh, I wanted to take it slow too—but the enemies didn’t give me the chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirate Chu Yang said, “True. The power level in the Demon Slayer world is far lower than ours. Killing Muzan Kibutsuji wasn’t even hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hokage Chu Yang turned and noticed Magic Chu Yang talking to the two newcomers. Curious, he asked, “Which world are these new guys from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic Chu Yang shook his head. “No idea. Seems like an ordinary world—nothing strange. After sharing memories, I couldn’t find anything unusual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hokage Chu Yang widened his eyes. “How could it be an ordinary world? Let me take a look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirate Chu Yang and Demon Slayer Chu Yang had also overheard the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Equally curious, they joined the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sharing memories, they discovered the two newcomers were both high school students from small rural towns—their worlds being modern-day Japan and the United States.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, both were about to enter high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This doesn’t make sense,” Magic Chu Yang muttered, frowning as he rubbed his chin. “According to past patterns, the probability of being sent to an ordinary world is extremely low. How could two of them both come from ordinary worlds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Man, Itachi’re a mage and Itachi’re talking about science?” Pirate Chu Yang couldn’t help but mock. “Low probability doesn’t mean zero possibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Japanese High School Chu Yang sighed enviously. “I envy the worlds Itachi all went to—they’re so exciting. My life now is basically the same as before I was summoned. I’m bored to death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>American High School Chu Yang sighed too. “Itachi have no idea how bad the infrastructure is in American rural towns. Signal is terrible. Whenever it rains, TV and internet go dead. Since I got here, it’s rained almost every day—I haven’t even properly watched TV.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Slayer Chu Yang laughed. “If Itachi can’t even watch TV, Itachi’re not much different from my era.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic Chu Yang suddenly understood. “That’s why your memories have so little info. I remember your timeline was around 2008, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>American High School Chu Yang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Slayer Chu Yang’s eyes lit up. “Full ticket—go back and watch the Olympics!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His idea left everyone stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirate Chu Yang couldn’t help but retort: “It’s just a modern parallel world—where’s the Olympics supposed to come from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others spent a long time ribbing Demon Slayer Chu Yang before returning to discussing the two high school students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They agreed it didn’t matter whether the worlds were ordinary or not—even without special abilities, the two students could assist Magic Chu Yang with logistics and research, easing the burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, everyone was glad a new person had arrived; after all, every newcomer was “themselves,” making unity easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Pirate Chu Yang and the others didn’t know that once the two high school students returned to their own worlds, their lives would be utterly transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Japan, a rural town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Chu Yang lived on a small island; all his family had perished in a tsunami years ago, leaving him alone to study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The island’s school, chronically short of students, decided to close. Chu Yang’s class became the last graduating class; those wishing to continue education had to move to the city for high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many chose to drop out and take up fishing like their families. Chu Yang had planned to do the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was suddenly summoned to the Soul Palace and received this long-delayed power-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning, Chu Yang immediately decided to leave the island—he didn’t belong there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sold his family’s house and all valuable possessions, preparing to move to the city for school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week later, Chu Yang rented an apartment near the school and began his new high school life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he entered campus, he glanced at the plaque beside the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It read: “Karakura First High School.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang felt an odd sense of familiarity with the name, but he dismissed it and walked in with the other students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During classmates’ self-introductions, Chu Yang suddenly felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello everyone, I’m Ichigo Kurosaki. Please take care of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A boy with spiky orange hair spoke from the podium, his expression cold. People like him were usually withdrawn, though not necessarily heartless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way… it’s probably just a coincidence in name and appearance,” Chu Yang muttered, his throat dry. He had just accepted this world was ordinary—he’d planned to study quietly and get into college.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello everyone, I’m Uryu Ishida…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His high school life wouldn’t be as peaceful as he’d expected…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the cheat had been credited, Chu Yang’s luck began to improve—the town’s endless rainy weather finally vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the clear blue sky, Chu Yang hummed a cheerful tune and turned on the bulky, boxy television in his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the second time he had watched television since his transmigration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally planned to find some entertainment program, but after flipping through several channels, all were broadcasting emergency news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not like the president died—why the rush?” Chu Yang grumbled, picking up a glass of water and raising it to his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he took a sip, the news anchor on television began reporting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to officials from the military, this morning, Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Industries, was attacked by terrorists in Afghanistan and is currently missing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff!
