Amid the city ruins, an intense stench of blood assailed the senses.
Blood flowed into rivers, dyeing the ground a vivid red.
Emperor Sutoku sat suspended in the air, engulfed by an endless sea of blood.
Like Choso, Emperor Sutoku could turn cursed energy into blood and use it to perform Blood Manipulation.
But unlike Choso, Emperor Sutoku possessed an almost immeasurable amount of cursed energy.
And so, he had created this hellish sea of blood!
A quantitative change led to a qualitative one. Within the surging torrent of blood, even special-grade cursed spirits could only be instantly slaughtered!
But it was not over yet. Emperor Sutoku's hollow eyes turned toward Suguru Geto, and he slowly raised a hand.
"Blood Manipulation: Blood Legion"!
Following his movement, the blood gradually condensed into armored soldiers!
In the blink of an eye, a vast legion formed from blood stood before Suguru Geto.
One man became an army; one man could destroy a nation. This was true special-grade power!
This was the true Blood Manipulation!
The reason the Kamo Clan's descendants could not bring out Blood Manipulation's true power was simply because none of them possessed such an immense quantity of cursed energy.
Just as the Limitless required the Six Eyes to develop its potential to the fullest.
Or how the Ten Shadows Technique could only enter the realm of special grade after subduing Mahoraga.
Blood Manipulation likewise required an ocean of cursed energy to create the Blood Legion with a mere wave of the hand.
The inherited techniques of the Three Great Families all possessed exceedingly harsh conditions for development.
But there had never been any such thing as a worthless technique.
"Kill!!!"
The Blood Legion let out an earth-shaking roar and swept forward like a flood.
The cavalry charged, warhorses neighing.
