Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 335: The Battle of the Tiger Stick

After reading the "history" engraved on all the stone pillars, the expressions of Zhenren and Louhu were very interesting.

Born in modern times, their understanding of the past is limited to general historical records. As for the history of the world of sorcery, it is even less clear. The legend of Sukuna was learned from Nosozo.

Now that they suddenly know the real 'truth', what should they say... If everything had not happened right before their eyes, it would be impossible for Zuosuo to go to so much trouble just to deceive them, otherwise they would probably just think all this was a joke.

A sorcerer who had lived for nearly a thousand years single-handedly ended the prosperous era of sorcery. Then, after disappearing for a while, he reappeared in the world and created a bloody and dark era with tough measures.

And this rule lasted for nearly five hundred years, five hundred years... Even for a dynasty, this is a number that is difficult to achieve. Even for the great civilization next door, whose history spans thousands of years, there are only a handful of dynasties in its history that lasted more than five hundred years.

And without exception, they have gone through the rule of several generations of monarchs. No one has ever thought that there would be a ruler who could rule the entire dynasty for hundreds of years, because humans cannot do it and lifespan fundamentally denies this.

One of the most widely circulated stories about the first emperor was his quest for the elixir of immortality, but his subsequent failure was also well known. Immortality... It is impossible for humans to achieve this. Even curses and cursed spirits actually have a "lifespan".

Perhaps it can reach this range of several hundred years, but it does not mean that it will not die out. Looking at the long history of sorcery, based on the examples known to the real people, only Nose and Tengen can be said to be barely within this range.

Strictly speaking, neither of them is. Tianyuan's technique of 'immortality' sounds beautiful, but it is not the kind of immortality that fixes one's state forever at a certain moment.

His "immortality" is dynamic. When facing death, his life will actively evolve and change its own form when necessary. In simple terms, if Tianyuan is thrown into outer space.

Then he would probably evolve into some kind of being that can survive in a vacuum without oxygen and other conditions. No matter what mental changes he would undergo after that evolution, the existence of the ritual would only ensure that the individual 'Tianyuan' would be alive in the true sense of the word.

As for Nosuo, it is easier to explain. He just uses his own magic to constantly change his body. His brain is his real body. Later on, the expansion of his magic even allowed him to back up his brain.

And can he still be considered a human? I'm afraid he can't even be considered a sorcerer. The most important foundation of a sorcerer is that they are absolutely "human". After exceeding a certain limit, that kind of existence naturally leaves the category of human (sorcerer).

Tengen, Noso, Sukuna... and the even more exaggerated one, the one who was once revered and worshipped and given the name of God.

"Why, Nozomi, if he is really the existence recorded above, then why does he do these things? With his strength, he can definitely achieve his goals by force, right? Could it be that he has experienced an unknown decline in strength?"

After Lou Hu's expression changed several times, he found a conclusion that barely convinced himself. Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why Shen Yuanyi, who was so powerful that he could use his personal will to force the entire curse world to "prosper those who obey me, and perish those who oppose me",

In this era when the power of spells is weaker and has not yet risen, he would choose to "shrink". Even though he has demonstrated top-notch strength, it is still not enough compared to the records on the stone pillars.

Apart from the fact that the opponent suffered an unexpected decline in strength, Louhu had no way to convince himself, but the answer from Xusuo made him even more confused.

"To be honest, I don't know either."

Kou Suo retracted his nostalgic gaze and then turned around: "Because the current Shen Yuanyi is not exactly the same as he was in the past. In the past two eras, he valued me because of my research on spells and barrier techniques, and eventually I became an important researcher to achieve his goals."

"What purpose?"

Zuo Suo forced a smile and said, "He doesn't belong to this time and space, and everything he did in the past was just to return to the place that belongs to him. In short, he wants to go home.

And everything recorded there was just his move to gather strength to achieve his goal."

Zhenren's eyes lit up. Compared to Louhu's shock and disbelief, Zhenren's emotions were much simpler.

"The Wheel of Time... This is the name of the spell you mentioned, the power to control time, so he was able to prevent his life from running out, and because of this spell, he was forced to leave his own time and space.

Everything I have done in the past and now is just to embark on the journey home. It is unbelievable... It is really, really fascinating that the magic can be achieved to this extent!"

Unable to digest the shock of this information, Lou Hu simply suppressed it all temporarily and instead focused his attention on the most important thing.

"What do you mean he's not the same Him from the past? And, since you've come this far, you must have made plans for the future."

In Louhu's eyes, Luosuo has always been like a poisonous snake or a spider. He is best at hiding in the dark, weaving a web, and then giving the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment.

Since he brought himself and others here, it wouldn't be without purpose. Could these things be the key to dealing with the enemy?

Then, as expected, Luosuo slowly revealed the real purpose of bringing Louhu and Zhenren here: "It's just a literal meaning. The current Shenyuanyi and the "He" in the past are not the same person in the concept of continuous time. Of course, we don't need to care too much about this.

In short, before he completes his ultimate goal, which is to leave our world, he seems to want to create an era where sorcery flourishes and sorcerers completely dominate over curses, which is completely opposite to your goal. "That's why he left us here and forced us to complete such a deal. He wants to use us, including Sukuna who has not yet been fully resurrected, as a whetstone for those sorcerers who have not yet grown up!"

Louhu's expression was distorted, while Zhenren was laughing. This feeling of extreme contempt, of being regarded not as an enemy but as a future whetstone for a group of half-grown children, was hardly a greater insult than this, especially for them who were one of the few special-grade cursed spirits.

Even if the other party really regarded them as ants like gods and crushed them to death directly, it would be better than this feeling of being treated as experience bags.

Before these emotions could ferment further, Luosuo's subsequent words shocked Louhu and Zhenren so much that they almost forgot about it.

"But unfortunately, we can't compete with him in terms of strength, so we have to find another way. Since we can't defeat Shen Yuanyi head-on, let's change our thinking: let him who can control everything destroy everything himself and stand on our side from another perspective!"

Lou Hu felt like he was listening to a joke. Was he trying to persuade him, or was he using these things to threaten him? It all seemed like a joke.

But Xu Suo looked very serious, and he was not worried that Lou Hu and the others would not accept his plan, because they had no choice! One was a dead end with no chance of survival, and the other was a road of hope with even a joke-like possibility. Anyone with normal thinking would know which one to choose.

"Even if it still fails, it will definitely be fun, right!?"

The rope smiled as it looked at the stone pillars that buried the true history of the past...

"call--"

Yuji Itadori was gasping for breath as he stared at the muscular monster in front of him that could not possibly exist in nature. From the appearance, that guy looked like a bald weirdo who was nearly three meters tall and wide, with muscles all over his body exploding to the point of making people feel uncomfortable.

It has no sexual characteristics, and its entire body is covered with knotty muscles piled up and squeezed against each other. Only its face is slightly better, and you can still see its human-like facial features.

After reaching their destination with Otsutsuki and spending some time, the two of them began to fight the cursed spirit.

The careful Otsutsuki did not let Itadori fight the opponent directly, but went up to test it first. However, the result surprised both of them. After several rounds of fighting, Otsutsuki had an absolute advantage in both strength and speed over the big cursed spirit.

However, even in this situation, after leaving the battle, Otsutsuki actually decided to let Itadori complete this training. The latter chose to trust this reliable senior reluctantly. No matter what, he would not watch himself die, right?
"Heh... This guy has already reached the special level, right? If you just rely on me, he will die miserably!"

A strange mouth opened on Yuji's cheek, and then it started to mock Yuji. But Yuji had no time to care about Sukuna as he had already entered the attack range of the cursed spirit.

The impact of the cursed spirit rushing towards him like a giant elephant or a tank left Yuji no time to care about anything else. He simply mobilized the cursed power to strengthen his body, preparing to meet the upcoming violent attack.

With a burst of air explosions, the cursed spirit's arm, as thick as a bucket, smashed down from the air. Yuji dodged in time with extreme concentration, and at the same time, a thought that seemed somewhat like an illusion popped up in his mind.

"Its speed...why doesn't it seem to be as fast as when it fought with Otsutsuki-senpai?"

The curse spirit's fist landed on the ground, and the earth and rocks instantly curled, bulged, exploded and flew in all directions.

"The power is still strong, but it seems to be a little different from the power that seemed to be able to blow up the void just now..."

Spin around on the ground, change direction, support yourself with your arms, and then kick the cursed spirit's legs. The cursed spirit may not have vital points like humans, but if it is just a human structure, then some basic rules can still be effective against it.

For example, in this attack by Itadori, after bending one of the legs of the cursed spirit, the latter staggered and was forced to stop the subsequent attack. Although this guy has amazing destructive power when he attacks, he actually doesn't have much intelligence.

After being caught off guard by Yuji's attack, the muscular monster howled furiously, and its arms were like two huge hammers, smashing everything around it to pieces.

"Curse warfare is information warfare... We need to find out what the effect of the spell is."

Otsutsukoshi Yuta was watching the fight calmly not far away, and he even had time to take out his cell phone to reply to two messages. The technique of this cursed spirit was actually very simple, but also very brutal. If nothing unexpected happened, Yuji would not be able to exorcise it now.

Therefore, the standard he set for the latter was also very simple, that is, to guess the effect of the opponent's spell, and to persist in fighting for at least three minutes to be qualified. Judging from Yuji's appearance, it shouldn't be a problem to meet the second condition, but the first one...

"But I believe you."
