#140 - The first Luofu to clear the level!
As the King of Demons, Muzan Kibutsuji had studied Muzan's space blood demon art countless times.
Even though Muzan Kibutsuji, this scumbag boss, hadn't gained anything from Muzan's blood demon art, he still had a considerable understanding of space abilities.
Muzan Kibutsuji could be certain that being able to appear silently behind him like this...
This method was definitely a type of space ability.
Luo Fu waved his hand and smiled, saying, "I've made the Demon King laugh. It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

Looking at Luo Fu with an uncertain and gloomy expression, Muzan Kibutsuji wouldn't forget the scenes he had seen through the eyes of those demons before.
Those various and diverse methods were like sunlight, capable of obliterating the terrifying destructive power of demons, and even in Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes, their threat had surpassed that of Kokushibo from back then.
Such a terrifying existence, not long ago, was someone he could easily manipulate, even obliterate with a single thought.
Jealousy, fear, resentment... All these emotions made it impossible for Muzan Kibutsuji to remain calm in front of Luo Fu at this moment.
"What do you want to do?" Muzan Kibutsuji said sternly, "Kill me? Don't forget, you have your current abilities entirely because of me. If I die, you will also lose these abilities."
They continuously gathered in front of Luo Fu.
Seed of Original Energy.
That's right, what Luo Fu was using on Muzan Kibutsuji at this moment was precisely the method he had just used on Kokushibo.
The same method, when dealing with Kokushibo, was more of Luo Fu holding a kind of experimental idea.
After all, from the beginning, Luo Fu researched this method to target Muzan Kibutsuji.
Muzan Kibutsuji was indeed a scumbag boss, with no growth after a thousand years.
Even a pig could become an immortal after a thousand years, but in Muzan Kibutsuji's case, a thousand years at most only made him more cautious.
But regardless of his personality or talent, Muzan Kibutsuji's abilities were something even Luo Fu was curious about.
Don't forget that before Muzan Kibutsuji, this world had no supernatural powers at all.
It was just a prescription, originally intended to treat illnesses and save people, but in Muzan Kibutsuji's case, such an incredible change occurred, accidentally giving rise to Muzan Kibutsuji, an existence like a world BUG.
This prescription could not help but make Luo Fu curious.
Unfortunately, all along, the scumbag boss Muzan Kibutsuji had been strictly guarding the prescription that created him, never revealing it to anyone.
Luo Fu did not hesitate to risk a direct confrontation with Muzan Kibutsuji in the mental space, a hard fight against mental will, to refine Muzan Kibutsuji into a Seed of Original Energy. One of the purposes was to find out the origin and detailed composition of the prescription.
Muzan Kibutsuji, who had not made any progress in a thousand years, was indeed a waste.
But Luo Fu was confident that with his knowledge and wisdom from merging several worlds, as long as he obtained the secrets of the prescription from Muzan Kibutsuji, he would one day be able to unlock its mysteries.
"You... What are you doing? Stop it, stop it!"
Since becoming a demon, Muzan Kibutsuji had truly felt death approaching him step by step for the second time.
Different from Kokushibo, who had left a psychological shadow on Muzan Kibutsuji.
The methods displayed by Luo Fu at this moment made Muzan Kibutsuji even more terrified and desperate.
Indeed, this process of slowly extracting the essence of his life allowed Muzan Kibutsuji to experience the long-lost process of life flowing away.
Back then, Kokushibo's swordsmanship was too fast, so fast that in an instant, eighteen hundred slashes made Muzan Kibutsuji's mind unable to think, except for fear, there was only the thought of escaping.
But Luo Fu's approach made Muzan Kibutsuji's heart sprout the memories of when his body was weak and his life was not long.
The feeling of life flowing away, but he had no ability to do anything, could only passively accept it, like a blunt knife cutting flesh, constantly enhancing Muzan Kibutsuji's understanding of how weak and powerless he once was.
That was a feeling that truly permeated the depths of his consciousness.
It was a feeling that Muzan Kibutsuji could not imagine or even accept until now.
"No! No!" His body gradually distorted, Muzan Kibutsuji turned into a monster infected by Cthulhu mythology, several heads emerging from his body. The mouths of each head were constantly begging for mercy.
Luo Fu stared at Muzan Kibutsuji expressionlessly, unmoved by his pleas.
For Luo Fu, after experiencing two shares, Muzan Kibutsuji himself no longer posed a direct threat to his life, but from another perspective, Muzan Kibutsuji had become a thorn in his side that must be removed.
A war was about to break out, and although this world was not the world Luo Fu remembered, with similar veins, Luo Fu did not want to see his homeland in his memory encounter the suffering of the past again.
But he also knew that it was precisely because of these sufferings that the homeland truly moved towards revival.
With the passage of time, looking back on the past, those sufferings naturally became a kind of tempering, but ask, who wants to endure such tempering?
Muzan Kibutsuji's specialty was that as the King of Demons, he could spread this ability to make people immortal.
For the world that was about to fall into war, Muzan Kibutsuji's existence was a huge unstable factor, an existence that Luo Fu had to eliminate.
Compared to Kokushibo, Muzan Kibutsuji was undoubtedly stronger, even the process and time of extracting essence, qi, and spirit to condense into a Seed of Original Energy was longer.
No matter how vast Muzan Kibutsuji's essence, qi, and spirit were.
Under Luo Fu's continuous extraction, Muzan Kibutsuji, whose total amount of life essence was constantly decreasing, eventually began to shrink continuously.
Five brains and seven hearts began to die and wither one after another.
Muzan Kibutsuji's struggles and screams also became weaker and weaker.
Finally, when the last heart and brain also completely died and withered, Muzan Kibutsuji, the King of Demons who had ravaged the island country for thousands of years, from the Heian period to the present, ushered in his silent end on this passenger ship.
With Muzan Kibutsuji's death, a Seed of Original Energy that was more solid than the previous Kokushibo, almost like a blood-colored pearl, a gemstone, floated in front of Luo Fu.
Luo Fu casually picked up this Seed of Original Energy.
After only a cursory glance, Luo Fu put it into his Kamui space.
This Seed of Original Energy came from Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King who had lived for thousands of years.
No matter how much Luo Fu looked down on Muzan Kibutsuji before, always calling him a scumbag boss.
But it was undeniable that Muzan Kibutsuji, who had lived for thousands of years, although he was lacking in all aspects, the life force he had accumulated over thousands of years was definitely vast to an unimaginable extent.
Even if Luo Fu wanted to absorb everything from Muzan Kibutsuji, he would need to make arrangements for his plans for the island country.
Inside the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
Yaozai Ubuyashiki, who was accompanying his wife Amane and children to sweep the graves of the many sacrificed Demon Slayer Corps members, suddenly seemed to feel something.
An unprecedented sense of relief, as if the mountain-like pressure in his heart had been removed.
Subconsciously straightening his body, Yaozai Ubuyashiki took a few deep breaths before saying with full of surprise, "Finally... Has the nightmare that has plagued my Ubuyashiki family for thousands of years finally come to an end today?"
Amane was stunned when she heard this, and then quickly seemed to think of something, a different kind of light instantly appearing in her dim eyes.
"Muzan... Is he dead?" Amane Ubuyashiki's voice became a little trembling.
No one knew better than them how difficult Muzan Kibutsuji, this Demon King, was.
Since the establishment of the Demon Slayer Corps, countless swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps have sacrificed themselves in the battle against the demons.
At this moment, in the endless tombstones, most of the tombs were empty, but they were just cenotaphs for those sacrificed Demon Slayer Corps demon hunters.
In the battle against demons, if there's no backup and you die at the hands of a demon, you can forget about anyone recovering your body.
The demons' hatred for the Demon Slayer Corps members would lead them to mercilessly devour the hunters' corpses as an appetizer.
Often, the sacrificed demon slayers don't even have their bones left to rot somewhere unknown.
As the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his predecessors could only do their best to retrieve the deceased members' bodies, even if it was just a single bone, after confirming their death.
If nothing could be found, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his predecessors would build a cenotaph here to commemorate the sacrificed demon slayers.
This boundless sea of tombstones is the history of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded forcefully and said, "That disgrace of a family, Muzan Kibutsuji, is finally, finally gone. I can feel the curse that was缠绕缠绕 around me disappearing."
Amane Ubuyashiki's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Then… then you now…"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki instantly understood his wife's thoughts and gave a wry smile, saying, "I know what you're thinking, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time. Although the curse has indeed disappeared from me, my body has been overburdened for so many years. I'm sorry, Amane, I'm afraid I'm going to leave you."
After a moment of silence, the light in Amane Ubuyashiki's eyes vanished without a trace, and her eyes returned to their vacant state.
Nodding, Amane Ubuyashiki said, "Then what should we do about Luo Fu, who killed Muzan Kibutsuji?"
"In the future I saw, although Luo Fu and the Demon Slayer Corps often turned against each other, this time, our future is one of cooperation. Amane, remember, never break the agreement with Luo Fu. If I can't hold on until Mr. Luo Fu returns, then the matter of our Ubuyashiki family and your family enshrining Mr. Luo Fu will have to be left to you."
"I understand." As she nodded, Amane Ubuyashiki suddenly seemed to think of something and said with a hint of hope, "Yaozai, although Luo Fu-kami was once turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji, he has now become a god who is not afraid of the sun and does not need to feed on human flesh… then… then can Luo Fu-kami help heal your body?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled gently and said with a sigh, "Perhaps Mr. Luo Fu does have such ability, but… I don't plan to recover. After all, life is just a journey, and my journey is coming to an end. Don't be sad for me. It is my honor that the Demon Slayer Corps was able to completely eliminate the disgrace of the Kibutsuji family during my leadership."
After a slight pause, Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at his still somewhat ignorant children and laughed, saying, "I can only entrust the children to you. Without the nightmare-like curse, I believe our children will have a bright future."
After entrusting the future of the children and the family to his wife, Kagaya Ubuyashiki still said with some concern, "This time, I'm afraid the Demon Slayer Corps will suffer heavy losses. The compensation and other related issues will also have to trouble you. Also, never break our agreement with Mr. Luo Fu!! From today onwards, the deity enshrined by the Ubuyashiki family can only be Mr. Luo Fu!"
Compared to Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who instantly understood Muzan Kibutsuji's death due to the disappearance of the curse.
The group of Demon Slayers who were still in the wisteria-covered courtyard in Yoshiwara.
At this moment, everyone was gathered together, although almost all of the Pillars were missing arms or legs.
But at this moment, these people were all staring intently at Giyu Tomioka, who had fallen into a coma, with shocked expressions.
"Miss Butterfly, may I ask, when will the Water Pillar wake up?" Kyojuro Rengoku, who had been fitted with a prosthetic limb, asked in a rather loud voice.
Shinobu Kocho, who had finally seen her sister again after so long, subconsciously looked at Kyojuro Rengoku when she first heard the title "Miss Butterfly."
But soon, when she realized that Kyojuro Rengoku was not asking her, but asking her sister, Shinobu Kocho felt both disappointed and relieved.
Kanae Kocho had followed Luo Fu for so long.
But at this moment, Kanae Kocho had no idea what the effect of the Primal Energy Seed that Luo Fu had refined with Kokushibo's body would be.
In fact, even Luo Fu himself may not have really understood the drawbacks of the Primal Energy Seed refined with the essence, energy, and spirit of others.
Who made Kokushibo the first?
Just as Kanae Kocho was wondering how to answer.
The wounds on the body of the unconscious Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, suddenly began to heal rapidly.
This change immediately caused exclamations from the Pillars and other Demon Slayer Corps members.
Especially Shinobu Kocho, who couldn't help but say, "Water Pillar… has Mr. Water Pillar turned into a demon?"
It's no wonder Shinobu Kocho had such a guess.
In fact, the speed at which the wounds on Giyu Tomioka's body were healing at this moment was simply unsettlingly fast.
The Demon Slayer Corps members had not never seen this kind of wound recovery speed.
Not only had they seen it, but on the contrary, they had seen it too many times, but only one type of person exhibited this healing speed.
To be precise, that was not a person at all, but a demon. Only demons would have such terrifying and incredible wound recovery speed.
Not to mention the healing of such wounds, even crippling injuries such as severed hands and feet could be recovered in a short period of time on demons, which was not surprising.
But for such wound healing speed to appear on a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, it was unsettling.
"This… this kind of wound recovery…" Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku, supporting his seriously injured body, said, "Flower Pillar… Miss Kanae Kocho, could it be that the Water Pillar has been turned into a demon?"
"Not a demon." A clear and cold voice took the initiative to explain for Kanae Kocho, "This is… this is the power of the Lord's bloodline Primal Energy."
Following the voice, Makomo came to the crowd with a worried expression and said, "If you don't believe me, it will be dawn soon. Demons are afraid of the sun."
"But Mr. Luo Fu and elder sister don't seem to be afraid of the sun, right?" Shinobu Kocho frowned and said.
Glancing at Shinobu Kocho, Makomo nodded and said, "Yes! But demons need to feed on human flesh and are afraid of sunlight. If they don't have these shortcomings, then can they still be considered demons?"
Makomo's words made everyone silent for a moment.
Soon, Tengen Uzui said, "If Mr. Tomioka is really not afraid of the sun and doesn't need to feed on human flesh, then… he is indeed not considered a demon."
Kanae Kocho smiled and nodded, saying, "Then let's wait for dawn and see if Mr. Giyu Tomioka is afraid of sunlight. Then, try it with flesh and blood, and everyone will understand."
Amidst everyone's waiting with either worry or anticipation.
A ray of dawn appeared in the east.
The golden sunlight shone down.
The Demon Slayer Corps members immediately cleared the sunlight, allowing the sunlight to shine freely on Giyu Tomioka, whose injuries had already recovered, but was still not awake.
Visibly, Giyu Tomioka, who was in the sunlight, did not show any discomfort at all.
For a moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Not being afraid of the sun also meant that Giyu Tomioka was likely not a demon in the usual sense.
Now all that was left was to try it with human flesh after he woke up.
Especially the flesh and blood of rare blood humans. You must know that the flesh and blood of rare blood people, once there is a wound, is so attractive that it can even make ordinary demons lose their minds.
As long as they could get through this point, then everyone's worries about Giyu Tomioka being turned into a demon would be mostly relieved.
The reason why they were not completely relieved was still because Giyu Tomioka was no longer human after all.
Without letting everyone wait too long.
Whether it was because he received the sunlight or not, as the sun rose to the middle of the sky, the unconscious Giyu Tomioka frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, Giyu Tomioka immediately revealed a surprised expression.
Around him, all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were staring at him with serious expressions.
What made Giyu Tomioka even more puzzled was that while everyone was staring at him, they had even drawn their Nichirin Swords, and there were even a few obviously nervous guys who had activated their breathing techniques.
Clearly, they were treating him as a demon.
Before Giyu Tomioka could speak, Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had not yet been promoted to the Pillar level, took a deep breath and came to Giyu Tomioka, reaching out and slashing his wrist.
Blood flowed down instantly.
A flash of inspiration appeared in Giyu Tomioka's mind, and he instantly reacted.
Everyone was treating him as a demon.
In the Demon Slayer Corps, the existence of rare blood was a strictly guarded secret.
And in the Demon Slayer Corps, so far, it had only been confirmed that Sanemi Shinazugawa was a rare blood that could drive demons crazy.
Humans were not demons after all, only demons could easily determine whether a person had rare blood.
Shinazugawa Sanemi's situation also owes much to his near-death experience at the hands of a demon years ago, which revealed him to be a possessor of rare blood.
At this moment, as Shinazugawa Sanemi's blood splattered,
Tomioka Giyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a light that made people uneasy.
After a moment, Tomioka Giyu took a deep breath and said, "I can feel that I have a strong desire for Shinazugawa Sanemi's blood now, but this desire can be restrained by reason."
"What's going on?" Rengoku Kyoujurou asked in surprise, "A desire for rare blood, yet able to suppress it? Is Tomioka Giyu a human or a demon now?"
"He can be considered a transcendent who has embarked on the path of bloodline energy."
A sudden voice immediately drew the attention of everyone present.
Following the voice, Luo Fu's figure gradually materialized from the void.
Appearing before everyone.
After resolving Kibutsuji Muzan, the Demon King, Luo Fu was not in a hurry to return.
Because through Kibutsuji Muzan's bloodline, Luo Fu discovered something that surprised and delighted him.
The moment he killed Kibutsuji Muzan, the Kamui dimension underwent a mysterious transformation.
It was as if it had changed from being originally attached to Luo Fu's Mangekyou Sharingan to being attached to the entire world.
If the Kamui dimension was previously residing within Luo Fu's Mangekyou Sharingan, now it resides within the entire world.
However, all permissions for the Kamui dimension are still held by Luo Fu.
It was as if the Kamui dimension had become a special dimension or plane opened up by Luo Fu, but attached to the entire world.
Luo Fu faintly felt that the current Kamui dimension was just a rough dimension. This dimension, or plane, could grow continuously on its own, and at the same time, it was in a mutually reinforcing state with Luo Fu.
The Kamui dimension's own growth would make Luo Fu stronger. And the improvement of Luo Fu's strength would further drive the improvement of the Kamui dimension.
And all of this happened after Luo Fu killed Kibutsuji Muzan.
This incredible gain really left Luo Fu somewhat clueless.
After studying it for a long time, he ultimately gained nothing. He could only determine that the change in the Kamui dimension must have a direct causal relationship with the death of Kibutsuji Muzan. But he was not clear about what kind of change it was in the middle.
It was because of researching the changes in the Kamui dimension that Luo Fu returned to the wisteria garden in Yoshiwara so late.
However, when Luo Fu arrived, he happened to encounter the Demon Slayer Corps studying Tomioka Giyu.
Seeing Luo Fu's appearance, the expressions of many members of the Demon Slayer Corps couldn't help but become complicated.
You should know that among the Demon Slayer Corps members present, many of them had previously participated in the mission to encircle and suppress Luo Fu on Mount Kumotori.
Although the mission on Mount Kumotori failed, and even caused the Demon Slayer Corps to lose Makomo and a Pillar-level existence one after another,
Now, Luo Fu had suddenly stood on the same side as the Demon Slayer Corps. Even the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, had promised that in the future, Luo Fu would become a god enshrined by the Ubuyashiki family and his wife Amane's family.
Suddenly changing from an enemy to a lofty god, it was no wonder that the people of the Demon Slayer Corps had such a complex mentality when facing Luo Fu.
"After the demons evolve, they no longer feed on human flesh, and even the sun is no longer a weakness. Is this a transcendent?" Kochou Shinobu asked curiously.
Kochou Shinobu's curiosity was mostly because of her sister.
Ever since she learned that her sister had been captured by Luo Fu, Kochou Shinobu had been heartbroken for a long time, and even decided that she must develop a poison that could kill Luo Fu.
But the situation took a turn for the better, and Luo Fu suddenly changed from an enemy to an ally.
Especially after seeing her sister in person, Kochou Shinobu completely changed her mentality.
She didn't care whether her sister was human or demon now, as long as she was still her sister and not like other demons who completely lost their past emotions once they turned into demons, that was enough.
To some extent, Kochou Shinobu now felt a bit of gratitude towards Luo Fu.
Kochou Shinobu's question was actually the most concerning issue for the Demon Slayer Corps members now.
Luo Fu did not explain.
After all, no matter how much he said, the Demon Slayer Corps members would still have doubts. Since that was the case, it was better to prove it with facts.
Luo Fu came to Tomioka Giyu and gave him a few pointers on how to condense his own bloodline energy.
Although at the beginning, Tomioka Giyu did seem to be stumbling and bumbling when refining bloodline energy and manipulating this power.
But soon, the moment he completely mastered it, Tomioka Giyu suddenly felt it.
The desire that lingered at the tip of his nose, which he could only suppress with strong willpower at first, suddenly became weaker and weaker.
Although Tomioka Giyu was still unlike ordinary people when it came to rare blood, and felt uncomfortable when he smelled blood, he no longer had the strong craving for rare blood like he did just now.
After a long time, having completely completed the cultivation of bloodline energy, Tomioka Giyu said in surprise, "This... is this the power of a transcendent? I can feel that I can now eat human food, and no longer regard humans as food."
Upon hearing this, many members of the Demon Slayer Corps couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
"Oka-san!" A surprised voice came from next door.
Luo Fu raised his eyebrows and quickly recognized that this was clearly the protagonist of the Demon Slayer world, Kamado Tanjiro.
He didn't expect that even Kamado Tanjiro, who had just joined the Demon Slayer Corps not long ago, would come to this plan to fight against the demons.
It's just that Kamado Tanjiro is obviously still a small fry in the Demon Slayer Corps.
You should know that if it weren't for Luo Fu, Kamado Tanjiro would have cultivated with the former Water Pillar for more than a year or nearly two years after experiencing the tragedy of his family's extermination.
And now, perhaps because of the mission to encircle and suppress Mount Kumotori before, Kamado Tanjiro had come into contact with many Pillar-level existences of the Demon Slayer Corps in advance.
Now, in a short period of time, he had become an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Although Kamado Tanjiro, this official member, was only the lowest-ranked Mizunoto demon slayer in the Demon Slayer Corps, it was undeniable that in such a short period of time, from an ordinary charcoal burner and charcoal seller, he had become an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps, which was still enough to make people feel Kamado Tanjiro's powerful talent.
As expected, Kamado Tanjiro should be meeting his whole family now.
Kamado Kie, Kamado Nezuko, and a group of other younger siblings were the source of Kamado Tanjiro's joining the Demon Slayer Corps and wanting to kill demons with all his heart.
Now, suddenly encountering his mother and younger siblings who he thought were already dead, Kamado Tanjiro's loss of composure was imaginable.
Luo Fu did not disturb the reunion of Kamado Tanjiro's family next door at this moment.
After all, although he was indeed Kamado Tanjiro's stepfather now, unfortunately, Luo Fu was at most interested in Kamado Kie's body, and would not really take on the responsibility of a father.
As Tomioka Giyu completely transformed from a human into a transcendent who had condensed bloodline energy,
A message that was completely a tragedy for the Demon Slayer Corps was transmitted.
Just a few hours after Luo Fu resolved Kibutsuji Muzan, the Demon King,
The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, unfortunately passed away.
The moment the message was transmitted through the crow, no one on the Demon Slayer Corps side was entangled in what Tomioka Giyu's situation was.
After all, compared to the fact that he had obviously proven that he was not afraid of sunlight, and that he could restrain his desire for human flesh, and that he had not completely lost his self-awareness as a human,
The Demon Slayer Corps could only temporarily regard Tomioka Giyu as their companion.
And compared to confirming Tomioka Giyu's situation, the news of the leader's death at this moment was the most concerning issue for the Demon Slayer Corps.
Near evening, the Pillar-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps almost all returned to headquarters.
Because of the battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons last night, there were still many members of the Hidden Corps responsible for the aftermath.
But this was no longer important.
Luo Fu, who returned to headquarters with the Demon Slayer Corps, ignored Ubuyashiki Kagaya's subsequent funeral arrangements.
Instead, he wholeheartedly stayed in the Butterfly Mansion and began to study the reason why the Kamui dimension suddenly evolved from a separate Mangekyou dōjutsu space into a demi-plane or separate dimension.
The moment Luo Fu killed Kibutsuji Muzan, for him, this world was equivalent to having cleared the game.
