Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 170 Crimson Marks, Eleventh Form: Dragon Head Dance of the Solar Halo
"If you gain power and then think you can trample on order and rule over all living beings..."

"Then this power is far too cheap."

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out, and Li Shuyang stood up unsteadily, a cold smile tugging at the corner of his bloodied mouth.

"But unfortunately, this has always been the case in this world."

"boom!"

A heartbeat as loud as a drum suddenly exploded! Zhou Ming was interrupted by this violent heartbeat before he could finish speaking.

Li Shuyang's body suddenly stiffened, and hot white steam rose from his entire body, making the blood vessels under his skin clearly visible in the high temperature.

His breathing grew heavier and heavier, each breath carrying like sparks. The surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature, and the grass and trees beneath his feet withered and carbonized rapidly, turning into ashes and scattering away.

"This is."

Zhou Ming's pupils contracted sharply, and his composure was shattered for the first time.

Li Shuyang slowly raised his head, and suddenly a fiery red mark appeared on his forehead. The mark was like a burning flame, spreading from his brow to his left cheek, looking eerie and dazzling in the moonlight.

At the same time, a terrifying surge of spiritual energy erupted, causing the ground beneath their feet to crack inch by inch, with pebbles floating in the air before falling heavily back down due to gravity.

"Breathing of the Sun"

Li Shuyang's voice was deep and thunderous. Suddenly, the broken sword in his hand burst into crimson flames. The blade twisted and deformed, but gradually solidified in the high temperature, transforming into a long sword that was entirely crimson and wreathed in flowing fire.

"Type 10 - Radiant Grace!"

He suddenly leaped up, the blade flashing like a falling meteor, the crimson flames drawing a blinding trail in the night sky; Zhou Ming hastily raised his hand, his fleshy tentacles multiplying wildly, forming a thick barrier in front of him, but they vanished into thin air the instant they touched the blade!

"boom--!"

As the blade flashed, the earth trembled! Centered on Li Shuyang, the ground within a radius of tens of meters collapsed with a deafening roar, and scorching magma gushed out from the cracks, engulfing everything around it.

Zhou Ming's body was cleaved in two by this blade, with an inextinguishable flame burning at the cut, and his regenerative abilities were suppressed!
"Ugh—!"

Zhou Ming let out a shrill scream as his two halves struggled to reunite, but were suppressed by the flames. He looked up in horror and saw Li Shuyang standing in the center of the lava, his face covered in burning crimson marks, his eyes as cold as knives.

Li Shuyang did not stop what he was doing. He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to kill a ghost, especially the person in front of him.

From the brief exchange just now, he clearly knew who the other party's power came from.

Ghost Dance Tsuji Mukai!
That one strike wasn't nearly enough to kill it.

He took a deep breath, the markings on his face burning even more intensely; his body sank slightly, the blade pointing diagonally at the ground, the surrounding air began to distort, and the heat wave formed a visible vortex.

"Breathing of the Sun"

As he whispered, the flames on the blade suddenly surged! The flames were no longer simply crimson, but transformed into a ferocious fire dragon, coiling and spiraling upwards around the blade.

The dragon's head was held high, its whiskers fluttered, every scale was clearly visible, and its burning eyes were fixed on Zhou Ming.

"The Eleventh Form: The Dragon Head Dance of the Solar Halo!"

Li Shuyang's figure suddenly disappeared.

next moment--

"Roar!!!"

A deafening dragon roar echoed through the sky! A colossal dragon composed of pure flames soared into the air, its body tens of meters long. Wherever it passed, the air exploded, and the ground was plowed with deep scorch marks.

The giant dragon opened its blood-red maw and swallowed Zhou Ming's mangled body whole!
Within the dragon's belly, thousands upon thousands of sword lights bloomed simultaneously! Each sword light carried the scorching heat of the sun, tearing and burning Zhou Ming's flesh inch by inch.

His screams were drowned out by the dragon's roar; his heart was bursting and his brain was being burned by the intense heat.

The giant dragon spiraled into the sky and exploded with a roar under the rising sun!
Countless fiery rains fell from the sky, turning the entire battlefield into a sea of ​​fire; and at the center of the explosion, Zhou Ming's body was already torn to pieces, with only charred limbs remaining to be burned in the flames.
Li Shuyang knelt on one knee, his long sword embedded in the ground. The markings on his face gradually faded, but the flames in his eyes shone brighter than ever before. Just as the flames were about to engulf the last piece of his remains—

"Gulu."

A faint rustling sound came from the scorched earth. Li Shuyang suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking sharply.

On the ground, the chopped pieces of meat suddenly began to convulse violently. The charred outer shell peeled off, revealing the bright red flesh inside. Countless flesh buds grew wildly as if they were alive, weaving into dense, blood-red threads in the air.

"This is."

The silk threads intertwined, outlining a human figure, with bones being reshaped within the flesh, emitting a teeth-grinding "click-click" sound.

"Puff! Puff!"

My heart was pounding heavily in my chest.

As the heartbeat intensifies, muscle fibers crawl across the skeleton like living snakes, and the skin regenerates at a visible rate. Finally, a pale face emerges from the flesh.

Zhou Ming knelt on one knee, panting heavily. Thick blood plasma still clung to his newly grown skin, and his eyes were filled with lingering fear.

"Damn it, no one told me that breaking through the suppression of Sun Breathing would consume so much spiritual power."

No, it wasn't just spiritual energy; he felt all the power in his body had been drained, and he felt waves of stinging pain throughout his body. Even the most basic manipulation of his flesh and blood had become difficult.

If that guy attacks again.
Zhou Ming suddenly looked up and met Li Shuyang's cold gaze. Although the boy was also exhausted, the crimson blade in his hand was still burning.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Zhou Ming's forehead.

"I think we can talk."

Zhou Ming immediately spoke, staring at the burning crimson blade in Li Shuyang's hand, and continued:

"Whether you inherited Yoriichi's legacy or Tanjiro's, and whatever malice you harbor towards Muzan Kibutsuji, I can understand."

"But you must understand one thing: I am not Muzan Kibutsuji."

“I did not hurt anyone, much less eat people, you have no reason to kill me.”

"Breath of the Sun, Land Form, Scorching Sun!"

Li Shuyang was drawing on the last of his strength; he did not answer, nor did he care about Zhou Ming's explanation. Any verbal exchange was nothing more than a trick to buy time, and he would never make such a foolish mistake.

The flames on the blade surged, and the spinning slashes transformed into a fire tornado that completely engulfed Zhou Ming!

As for Zhou Ming's statement that "no one was harmed" and "no one was eaten,"
Perhaps that is indeed the case at this moment.

But how can human will suppress the instincts of ghosts?

He hasn't done it yet simply because he hasn't had the chance.

As he himself said, "It's truly regrettable that even after gaining power, one still has to abide by rules and order because of one's own weakness."

This mentality of placing oneself above all others, stemming only from a lack of strength that prevents one from taking any action, is more indicative of his danger than any fangs.

"boom--!"

Zhou Ming, engulfed in flames, let out a piercing wail, but Li Shuyang's blade did not hesitate for a moment.

He won't wait until tragedy strikes before taking action.

Evil spirits should die as humans before they completely fall into depravity, rather than live on as demons.
