A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Has this moment finally arrived?

Hehe, it was only a matter of time.

The furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and the sweat in his palms stopped.

Taiyi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and simply picked up the sword from beside him, placing it horizontally on his knees. As if playing a zither, he moved his palms from the middle to both ends, finally stopping his right hand on the hilt and his left hand in the middle of the scabbard.

"Why is Yamada Asaemon Taichi silent?"

Muzan also had his back to Taiichi, still waving the test tube and beaker around, as if all his attention was focused on what was in front of him and nothing else mattered.

"Can't you read the memories of your relatives? Why do you need to ask me?"

Taiyi straightened his body, his long hair falling behind him, moving without wind in the still tatami room, and the veins on his palms gradually bulged from under his skin.

In the silent room, there seemed to be the sound of rushing water, and both sounds were clear: it was blood... making a sound.

"Hmm, that makes sense." Muzan suddenly stopped what he was doing, and his red pupils reflected not the experimental table in front of him.

The sword fight between Kokushibo and Taichi, Gyutaro's pent-up frustration, Doma's chuckle... only the scene with Gyokko is missing.

"Samurai, you seem to know us very well. How do you know all this?"

Upon hearing Muzan's question, Taichi's ears twitched and his eyes opened, but he remained silent. However, the killing intent emanating from his body began to spread outwards as if there were tangible ripples.

Even so, Muzan seemed to ignore it.

After turning around, he slowly walked towards Taiyi, stopping only when they were just a step apart.

Looking down at Taiichi's back, Muzan's eyes darted downwards, his fingernails lengthening from their tips, and he said, looking down at him:

"Don't you want to explain? Then one last question."

"You also know where the thing I want is, right?"

Although Taichi remained outwardly unmoved, the sudden change in blood flow immediately alerted Muzan to something different.

Finally, his expression was gone. Muzan's eyebrows shot up, his eyes widened, veins bulged on his face, and he suddenly grabbed Taiichi's neck, laughing loudly.

"Hahaha! You knew! You really did know!"

click!

A phosphorescent white light illuminated the Japanese-style room. Taiichi turned around and swung his sword, severing Muzan's hand in one strike.

Although the attack was successful, the effect was only so-so.

Watching Muzan being instantly severed and then instantly regenerated, Taichi raised an eyebrow, feeling that his opponent's strength was simply absurd.

"Whether you know or not, the only thing that can answer me is the sword in my hand!"

【Three Qi Circulating Through the Heavens - Fire - Burning the Heavenly Wheel】

Without further hesitation, he fully activated his Taiyi attribute transformation and unleashed his full power. Three-colored energy continuously swept across his eyes, and his true energy, like a compressed spring, suddenly exploded outwards.

Pfft!

Blood splattered, and a huge wound appeared on Muzan's chest.

"Heh~" Muzan ran his fingers across his chest, closed his eyes to feel it for a moment, then grinned and said in a ferocious smile, "You're not him. Your slashes are missing something!"

A sonic boom resounded, and two whip-like streaks ripped through the air, trailing white jets of flame, and lashed out toward Taiyi's location.

boom! ! !

[Additional Attribute: Swiftness]

With his inner energy surging, Taiyi leaped into the air, successfully dodging the opponent's attack, and then looked at the opponent with a serious expression.

"Isn't it normal for something to be missing? Even the complete Sun Breathing technique isn't something you can achieve by cutting off someone's neck."

Looking at Muzan, whose wounds had already healed, Taiyi thought with a solemn expression.

He had previously asked Jōichirō and others to go to Mt. Kumotori to look for the Kamado family, but after inquiring around, they still couldn't find them.

That's true. The Kamado family sells charcoal, so they may not have always lived near Mount Kumotake.

Even if one obtains the Breath of the Sun, its greatest use for Taiyi is to complete the Five Elements Returning to the Origin and the Refining of the Sun Form.

In the original story, Muzan ultimately dies from being roasted by sunlight.

However, for Taiyi, it would require gathering all five elements and using the true fire of the sun generated by the golden elixir to refine Wuzan to death.

As for why Yoriichi's sword wound could remain on Muzan's body for so long, there are other inexplicable factors at play.

"Why resist? Why not accept my blood, become the ultimate being with me, and live on in this world forever? Wouldn't that be better?"

He ripped open his shirt, revealing reddish-brown patterns crawling all over Muzan's body. His arms, transformed into whips, swung wildly in the air, while the sharp spikes at their tips pointed at Taiichi from afar.

"You yourself said I know you very well." Tai's eyes flashed with data as he raised his sword and pointed it at Muzan. While observing the other's attributes, he continued, "In this world, would you allow another creature like you to appear?"

[Name: Oniitsuji Muzan]

【age:? ? ? 】

【life:???】

[Essence: ???]

[Qi and Blood: ???]

[Soul: ???]

Seeing that Muzan's data, like that of the White Serpent Goddess Miko, was in an unviewable state, Taichi's anxious heart finally died.

Very good, as expected of the ultimate boss.

"Ok?"

Muzan raised an eyebrow, and nine more sharp, pointed whips extended from his back, twisting in the air as he watched Taiichi with interest:

"The more you say that, the more I want to turn you into a ghost, so I can gain all your memories!"

Unlike the last time he went to Edo, he used the ability to read fragments of memory.

To obtain all of Taiichi's memories, one must first turn him into a demon before acquiring them completely.

Because of their powerful existence, they retained not only memories but also their own will within the cells.

Just like in the original story, after Muzan devoured Tamayo, he wanted to find out what drug she had given him, but Tamayo wouldn't tell him, so Muzan could only forcibly extract the remaining memories.

Although he knew there were four kinds of medicine, he didn't know how to cure them or what their specific ingredients were.

Since it's just a remnant memory, to get the complete one, you need to turn Taiichi into a demon, and then you can check it without worry.

Whoosh! ! !

Muzan moved, and along with his arms and the nine whips on his back, eleven chilling sonic booms filled with the aura of death and blood rang out.

Spikes, piercing the air and beyond the reach of the naked eye, attacked Taiyi from all directions, completely locking down any possible hiding spots for him.

"The true form's fierce attacks! No wonder Muzan disdains using other Blood Demon Arts. Why use those fancy skills when the most effective way to kill enemies is to use them?"

Even though Taiyi's blood and qi attributes had exceeded the limit, he still felt that he could not completely dodge Muzan's attacks.

"In the original work, Muzan was nerfed to a pulp during the battle in the Infinity Castle."

Veins bulged under the skin, and the inner elixir in the central palace spun wildly, filling the whole body with three-colored true energy, some of which had already emerged outward through the seven orifices of Taiyi.

With a tearing sound, his upper body clothes were completely ripped apart, his muscles bulged, and then he raised one hand, holding the sword horizontally in front of him, and raised the other hand to hold the blade.

Seeing his increasingly crazed eyes reflected in the sword's spine, Taiyi's eyebrows shot up, his eyes filled with madness, and he roared with a sinister smile:

"But now, there's no one to help me drug him!"

"So what if the opponent is at their peak? Let them die, but I am not one to give up easily!"

Click...

Even with his inner core operating at full power, a crack began to appear. Even so, Taiyi still pushed his true energy to its limit, and blood even oozed out from his eyebrows and hair.

"Three Qi traverse the heavens, unite, Geng metal dragon and tiger dance wildly!!!"
