"Hand over the Shikon Jewel to me! Or I'll tear you all to shreds!!!"
On the cliff edge, the oblivious red-clad half-demon continued its arrogant barking. It even spread its fingers, its sharp claws flailing wildly in the pale moonlight, completely unaware that the temperature of the entire valley had plummeted after a cold snort from the figure in pure black.
"Go to hell, you pretty boy!!"
Seeing that the man below had not yet handed over the precious jade, Inuyasha's already pitiful patience completely ran out. He kicked off the rocks with both legs, and his whole body, like a red cannonball fired from a gun, swept down fiercely towards Tobirama Uchiha's head, accompanied by extremely rough and chaotic low-grade demonic wind!
" Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!!!"
Five yellow claw marks formed from demonic energy tore through the air, carrying an arrogant force that it believed could cut through steel, heading straight for Tobirama's face.
Tobirama Uchiha didn't even pull his hands out of the pockets of his robe. He didn't even activate the indestructible Busoshoku Haki covering his body.
Dealing with such lowly scum, whose even loud breathing pollutes the surrounding environment, would be an ultimate desecration of this trans-realm Emperor-level, even if it meant wasting even a fraction of a second of his time.
Within the pitch-black pupils, the extremely intricate crimson Mangekyo patterns suddenly froze.
" Amaterasu."
Buzz----!!!
There was no need for a violent surge of Chakra, nor for any earth-shattering Spiritual Pressure explosion.
Just as Inuyasha's proud " Iron Reaver Soul Stealer " were still dozens of meters away from Tobirama in Tobirama -air, a tiny flame, so black that it could completely devour the light of the laws of this world, suddenly bloomed out of thin air on his chest!
"Whoosh--!!!"
The moment that cluster of black flames touched Inuyasha's supposedly "invulnerable" Robe of the Fire Rat, it burst into flames in an extremely violent manner, like an ancient beast that had been starving for millions of years smelling the freshest flesh and blood!
This is the supreme karmic fire, capable of burning even the flames themselves to ashes!
"What is that?! It's so hot! It hurts so much!!!"
Just moments before, Inuyasha had been arrogant and domineering, boasting of being the son of a great demon. But the instant the black flames engulfed him, his face twisted in a grotesque grimace, and he let out a scream that was a thousand times more agonizing than if he had been skinned alive!
His prized Robe of the Fire Rat couldn't withstand even half a second of this pure black karmic fire, turning directly into ashes scattered by the wind.
But this was only the beginning of despair!
When Tobirama Uchiha released Amaterasu, he deliberately incorporated microscopic manipulation of Chakra. The black flames did not instantly incinerate Inuyasha, but instead, they precisely burrowed into his blood vessels and meridians through his burned skin!
It was specifically targeted and extremely brutally burned away the "inferior demon blood" that he was so proud of within him!
"Ughhhhh! My power... my claws!!!"
Inuyasha crashed to the ground like a burning rag doll. He rolled and scratched frantically in the muddy blood, trying to extinguish the black flames on his body, only to discover to his horror that the flames were spreading to his hands as well!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
The nauseating smell of burnt flesh permeated the valley.
Amidst that piercing scream, Inuyasha's white dog ears, signifying his half-demon identity, turned to ashes under the licking of the black flames; his indestructible claws melted and dripped away as quickly as plastic thrown into a furnace; and the already chaotic half-demon power within him was completely and utterly incinerated by this high-dimensional causal flame!
In just three breaths.
This Protagonist, who was supposed to shine brightly in the original work, had all his trump cards, all his pride, and all his demonic power burned to ashes by Tobirama Uchiha with an extremely casual glance!
The black flames slowly died down.
Lying on the ground was no longer the half-demon who clamored to tear everything apart, but a completely useless person whose body was riddled with holes, severely burned all over, and whose spiritual energy had vanished without a trace.
His proud half-demon body has been completely destroyed, and now he is even weaker than the most frail old farmer from the Sengoku period.
"Is this all you have to bark like that?"
Tobirama Uchiha looked down at the pool of rotting flesh on the ground, still twitching unconsciously. His eyes were devoid of any emotion, only filled with deep contempt for this utter stupidity.
The stunningly Shrine Maiden Kikyo, standing beside Tobirama, witnessed the entire crushing, one-sided annihilation.
She looked at the red-clad youth who had just been spouting arrogant words, now too weak even to howl. Instead of feeling the slightest pity, she felt an uncontrollable, soul-shaking tremor and a morbid worship for the silver-haired Emperor-level beside her, who was so ruthless and decisive.
This is the power of the gods. Pure and untainted, yet capable of inflicting the most terrible price on all blasphemers.
"I have no need for extra trash to get in my way."
Tobirama slowly raised his right hand.
"Buzz!"
Within his palm, the extremely pure Yin-Yang Release power rapidly gathered and compressed, condensing in the blink of an eye into a [ Black Rod ] several feet long, as black as ink, radiating fluctuations that suppressed all laws!
He didn't even bother to walk over; he simply flicked his finger casually.
"Whoosh----!!!"
The Yin -Yin-Yang Release Black Rod transformed into a black lightning bolt that tore through the night sky!
"Pfft!"
A dull, muffled sound of flesh being pierced suddenly rang out!
The Black Rod pierced Inuyasha's right chest with extreme precision and ruthlessness (perfectly avoiding his heart), sending him flying backward in a frenzy, carrying his mangled mortal body!
"Thump!!!"
On a high cliff behind the valley stands an ancient giant tree with an extremely thick trunk, whose age is unknown— the Sacred Tree.
The Black Rod, carrying overwhelming kinetic energy, pinned Inuyasha firmly to the extremely hard trunk of the Sacred Tree! The end of the Black Rod was deeply embedded in the wood, firmly fixing him in mid-air.
"Ugh... Ugh..."
Inuyasha suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, his unfocused pupils staring desperately at the Black Rod in his chest. He tried to struggle, but found that this strange black iron rod not only locked his body, but also completely sealed and froze the last bit of life force in his soul!
He couldn't pull himself out, nor could he die; he could only hang there, like an ugly, specimen-like bug, in utter humiliation on the God Tree that once nurtured his spirit.
Physical exorcism, plus an eternal seal!
"Right there, let your last drop of filthy blood flow, and slowly wail until you die, you piece of trash."
Tobirama coldly left behind this final verdict, completely severing any possibility of the original Protagonist's comeback.
Double insurance, no escape. In this world he's taken over, no clown can escape punishment.
After dealing with that stray dog that was disturbing my sleep.
Tobirama Uchiha slowly turned around and landed on Kikyo, who was dressed in a red and white Shrine Maiden outfit, standing beside him.
The bloodstains and demon corpses scattered on the ground looked extremely gruesome under the moonlight.
"This filthy place is no longer fit for you to remain."
Tobirama reached out and pulled Kikyo's soft, slender waist into his arms with remarkable ease. He didn't ask for her consent, for in this world, his will was the absolute law.
"Let's go, to your shrine."
Kikyo lowered her aloof and peerless face slightly, letting this interdimensional deity embrace her and obediently guide her in the right direction.
Not long after.
The two then arrived at the Higurashi Shrine, which was located not far from the Bone-Eater's Well.
However, due to the previous riot of 100,000 demons, this once serene and elegant shrine has now collapsed more than half of its original state. Torii gates are broken, shimenawa ropes have fallen into the mud and water, the wooden pillars of the main hall are leaning to one side or the other, and there are ruins everywhere torn apart by the claws of demons, making it look extremely dilapidated and desolate.
"I'm sorry... this place has been destroyed by monsters, and there's nowhere left to rest."
Kikyo watched as her home, which she had protected for so many years, turned into ruins, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. She gently bit her lower lip, her voice carrying a rare sense of embarrassment. As a maid who had just sworn allegiance, she couldn't even provide her master with a decent main hall.
"It's alright."
Tobirama Uchiha surveyed the dilapidated ruins, his handsome face showing no displeasure whatsoever, but rather a proud smile.
"I have said that now that you belong to me, your dwelling place should naturally be worthy of the supreme grandeur of the God Palace."
He slowly released his arm from Kikyo and took half a step forward.
Under Kikyo's gaze, which was filled with utter bewilderment yet also awe.
Tobirama Uchiha slowly raised his hands and casually clasped them together in front of his chest.
"Smack."
A crisp clapping sound echoed through the ruins of the dilapidated shrine.
It didn't involve any earth-shattering Chakra; it was merely a tiny flow of life force that combined the Ten-Tails' origin with the God Tree's laws.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: House Pillar Palace "
Rumble rumble rumble!!!!!
As Tobirama's deep voice fell, the entire mountain where the shrine was located suddenly erupted with an extremely violent tremor, as if an earth dragon were turning over!
Under Kikyo's horrified gaze, which seemed to have completely robbed her of the ability to think!
Those originally dead trees, broken wooden pillars, and even the tree roots buried deep underground, all suddenly burst forth with an extremely terrifying and overwhelming vitality that defied all the laws of nature!
Countless thick, emerald-green vines, as thick as giant pythons, and extremely hard redwood burst forth from the ground! As if possessing the highest level of design wisdom, they intertwined, coiled, crisscrossed, and grew at an incredibly rapid pace in mid-air!
"My God... this... what an incredible Divine Miracle..."
Kikyo covered her slightly parted red lips, her clear eyes reflecting this scene worthy of being recorded in the creation myth.
In just ten breaths!
That dilapidated and simple shrine was completely erased.
Instead, a magnificent and luxurious pure Japanese-style palace has sprung up, its area expanded dozens of times, and is extremely grand and luxurious!
The towering castle tower, several stories high, pierces the clouds. All the building materials are top-grade agarwood and ancient golden nanmu wood, which exude a shimmering, ethereal aura. The exquisite eaves and brackets, the spacious and smooth outdoor corridors, and even the courtyard are filled with extremely precious exotic flowers and plants.
Even more astonishing is that behind the palace, an extremely warm stream of water, exuding a rich spiritual aura, bursts forth from the rocks, forming an extremely luxurious open-air hot spring bath, with newly blooming pink cherry blossom petals floating on the surface.
Healing wounds and crushing demons—this is the ultimate form of destruction.
Now, skyscrapers rise from the ground, palaces are built out of thin air—this is the true, supreme power of creation belonging to the Creator!
"This is my first palace in this world. Although it is rather simple, it is enough for us to rest tonight."
Tobirama slowly lowered his hands, turned around very naturally, and walked towards the magnificent palace that had just been completed and still exuded a faint fragrance of grass and trees.
"What are you still standing there for? As my personal Shrine Maiden, do you expect me to personally undress you?"
Listen to that urging voice, which exudes both extreme domineering and ambiguous intent.
Kikyo, who was standing still, suddenly trembled.
She gazed at the luxurious palace that stood like Divine Miracle under the moonlight, and then at the imposing black figure in front of her.
This once aloof and virtuous Shrine Maiden, who dedicated her life to the cause of exorcising demons, saw the last bastion of "restraint" in her heart completely and utterly collapse at this moment.
Faced with such an unparalleled being who has reached the pinnacle of the universe in terms of power, methods, and pomp, any hesitation or resistance would seem utterly ridiculous and disrespectful.
"Yes... my master."
Kikyo took a deep breath, and a rare and captivating blush rose on her exquisitely beautiful face.
She strode forward with her long, slender legs, following behind Tobirama Uchiha with utmost obedience and respect, and entered the depths of that warm and luxurious palace.
The lights flickered.
Inside this quiet palace that belonged only to the two of them.
Kikyo knelt obediently on the smooth wooden floor, her hands, which had been holding a bow for years, now trembled slightly with an extremely awkwardness.
She slowly reached out and untied the crimson sash that had bound her waist for twenty years. The pure white sleeves slipped down her smooth, jade-like shoulders.
The once high and mighty, revered Shrine Maiden, completely shed all her aura and defenses on this night.
With the utmost devotion, humility, and complete openness, she offered her purest and most pristine self to the transdimensional deity who had granted her new life and peace.
The night was deep, and within the temple, springtime was in full bloom.
