Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens

#92 - Step into the trap, destroy all mankind, an extremely terrifying future

After entrusting the task of dealing with the victims in the train car, who were tragically harmed by Luo Fu's Blood Demon Art and ultimately沦落 to the point of losing their self-awareness, to the official organizations cooperating with the Demon Slayer Corps.

Luo Fu changed into a hooded cloak and robe that could cover his entire body, and then, led by Makomo, headed towards Mount Kumotori.

It has to be admitted that, despite the rapid development of Japan now, in this era before World War I has even fully broken out.

The only places in Japan that have truly developed are some core major cities.

And places like Mount Kumotori, located in the mountains and forests, the lives of ordinary people are still in a rather backward and barbaric era.

Through communication with Makomo, it is not difficult to judge that there are still at least a few years before the real plot begins.

After all, Makomo's soul only saw Kamado Tanjirou several years after her death.

After following Makomo and detouring for nearly ten days, Luo Fu finally arrived at the so-called Mount Kumotori.

Mount Kumotori, with its overlapping peaks, the highest point even covered with snow all year round.

After leading Luo Fu deep into Mount Kumotori.

Makomo, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and said, "Mr. Luo Fu, this is Mount Kumotori. I think this is also your destination, right?"

Just as Makomo's voice fell.

Luo Fu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Even without activating the Seven Sin Eyes, as long as Luo Fu wanted to, he could still keenly feel Makomo's emotional fluctuations.

And along the way, on Makomo's body, Luo Fu could only feel some fear and anticipation, and he didn't notice that Makomo had ever harbored hatred or killing intent towards him.

Obviously, this girl had been restraining her inner self all along, and even, in order to be absolutely sure, what she showed in front of him even deceived Luo Fu's special ability to perceive people's hearts.

This is also why Luo Fu underestimated Makomo a bit.

Although as a disciple of the former Water Pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji, Makomo didn't even pass the initial assessment. But in fact, there is a reason for this.

After all, not everyone is like the protagonist Kamado Tanjirou, who not only practiced Sun Breathing from a young age, but even his sense of smell reached an incredible level of being able to smell emotions.

And Makomo, although she is indeed not as good as the protagonist Kamado Tanjirou, if her aptitude can really grow, she may not necessarily be able to reach the Pillar level in the future.

Especially her mentality, not showing any abnormality in front of Luo Fu, this ability to deceive even herself in front of Luo Fu is the real culprit that caused Luo Fu to fall into the trap.

Of course, Makomo's qualities, placed on the front battlefield, her actual combat ability may not be strong, but in other aspects, she has reached a level that even the Pillars have to look up to.

At this moment, Makomo finally revealed her true emotions, looking at Luo Fu resentfully, and said: "Demon, you underestimated me too much. Even if the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are used to hunting demons who come out at night, but you still wear a hooded cloak and robe during the day, hiding your whole body. In addition, the Demon Slayer Corps has never investigated who committed the tragedy in the train car. If I still couldn't detect your abnormality, then I wouldn't deserve to be called a demon hunter."

Ignoring the little girl's hatred, Luo Fu looked at the Demon Slayer Corps members surrounding him.

When his gaze fell on a girl wearing a purple uniform, a half-sleeved haori, hair decorated with butterfly hairpins above her ears, and purple pupils, Luo Fu couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that I would actually gain the attention of a Pillar, and even set up such a well-prepared trap waiting for me."

"It seems that Mr. Demon knows me." Kochou Kanae smiled gently.

Her gentleness emanates from her bones, and is completely different from her sister Kochou Shinobu's disguise.

While drawing her Nichirin Blade, Kochou Kanae smiled and said, "Mr. Demon is a little wrong. This time, it's not just me, a Pillar."

"Also, me." A voice with a slightly stuttering tone, even three words, still paused in the middle, came from the other side of Luo Fu.

Looking in the direction of the voice, as expected, in addition to Kochou Kanae, the Flower Pillar, even the current Water Pillar, Tomioka Giyuu, also appeared here.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising.

Kochou Kanae's Flower Breathing itself is derived from Water Breathing, and can be regarded as one of the branches of Water Breathing.

The disciple of the former Water Pillar encountered a terrible demon that could not be solved, then, as the current Water Pillar, Tomioka Giyuu and Kochou Kanae, unless they really couldn't spare the time, they would definitely come to help.

"You, demon, why do you have a Nichirin Blade?" Tomioka Giyuu asked with a puzzled tone.

Although, in the battle with demons, the Nichirin Blade, which is specially used to kill demons, has disappeared with the death of its owner, and most of them are most likely to be mastered by demons.

But unfortunately, the Nichirin Blade, which is made of scarlet crimson iron sand containing the power of the sun, is itself the nemesis of demons.

Even back then, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's brother, Tsugikuni Michikatsu, after becoming a demon, also abandoned his Nichirin Blade and instead used Blood Demon Art to condense a long sword and perform his Moon Breathing.

It can be said that no demon would carry a Nichirin Blade with them.

A demon wearing a Nichirin Blade is simply like a human wearing a reflective substance as an accessory.

No wonder Tomioka Giyuu and Kochou Kanae had already surrounded Luo Fu, but they were not in a hurry to attack, but instead asked Luo Fu about topics related to the Nichirin Blade.

Luo Fu drew out the Nichirin Blade while saying, "Are you talking about this?"

Seeing the scene where the blade in Luo Fu's hand gradually turned into a dark color, and countless starlight dotted the blade, making the sword even more dazzling and charming.

Kochou Kanae couldn't help but frown and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Demon not only carries the Nichirin Blade with him, but also has his own breathing technique."

The Nichirin Blade is known as the color-changing sword, and its color will change according to the user's attributes.

But Luo Fu's kind of blade that turns dark, but is dotted with dazzling and charming starlight, is a situation that has never appeared in the Demon Slayer Corps before.

"What, is this breathing technique?" Tomioka Giyuu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It seems that you don't intend to attack me so quickly!" Luo Fu asked with interest.

"What is your purpose in searching for Mount Kumotori?" Compared to Luo Fu knowing the mysterious breathing technique, Kochou Kanae is obviously more concerned about Luo Fu's purpose in appearing in Mount Kumotori.

Or rather, this is not Kochou Kanae's curiosity, but from the higher-ups of the Demon Slayer Corps.

For example... the ninety-seventh leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

Don't forget, Ubuyashiki Kagaya is a special existence with the ability to glimpse the future.

Perhaps, Luo Fu was targeted by the two Pillar-level existences because of Ubuyashiki Kagaya's ability.

In fact, Luo Fu didn't know that the real reason why Kochou Kanae and Tomioka Giyuu were not in a hurry to attack was entirely because they were waiting for more helpers to appear.

Who made Makomo report her suspicion of Luo Fu before, and soon, in the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kagaya saw an incomparably terrifying future through his ability?

This time, what he needs to face is not only two Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, but the entire Demon Slayer Corps coming out in full force.

Since he has already exposed his identity, Luo Fu will of course no longer deliberately hide his Seven Sin Eyes.

Along with the opening of the Seven Sin Eyes, all the Seven Deadly Sins powers and even the emotional fluctuations on the bodies of these Demon Slayer Corps members around him began to fall into Luo Fu's control.

And at this time, Luo Fu truly felt what a huge trap the Demon Slayer Corps had set up waiting for him.

All around this mountain forest, Luo Fu could clearly feel the existence of no less than nearly a hundred humans.

Without a doubt, these humans must be members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and can even be called the elite of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Sorry. I'm a little late."

Along with a heroic voice, quickly approaching from far away.

A figure with yellow-red gradient hair, a burly figure, and a white-bottomed red-edged cloak, rushed over quickly.

Seeing this figure, Luo Fu immediately frowned and said, "Three Pillars? Does the Demon Slayer Corps think so highly of me?"

"Wrong." Kyojuro Rengoku, arriving a step late, held the hilt of his Nichirin Blade at his waist with one hand and gripped the scabbard with the other, appearing ready to strike Luo Fu at any moment. He said, "You are the second Demon King. Master has foreseen that you, in the future, nearly annihilated all of humanity. Such an evil existence like you, even if it costs the entire Demon Slayer Corps, we will not hesitate. The three of us are just the beginning."

His heart tightened instantly.

Luo Fu truly didn't expect the Demon Slayer Corps to set up such a grand scene for him.

The appearance of the Flower Pillar, Water Pillar, and Flame Pillar were just the beginning.

This treatment, perhaps only the true Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, would be qualified to face?

Just as Luo Fu had anticipated, soon after the Flower Pillar, Water Pillar, and Flame Pillar, the Sound Pillar, Tengen Uzui, also led a group of Demon Slayer Corps members and appeared before Luo Fu.

It could be said that now, except for those who hadn't joined the Demon Slayer Corps, or rather, hadn't become Pillars, in the future, after Tanjiro Kamado became a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, nearly more than half of the Demon Slayer Corps' peak combat power had appeared here.

"Demon, prepare yourself! Today, for the sake of all humanity, we will slay you at all costs!"

Although he was somewhat surprised that his exposure had attracted such a luxurious lineup of opponents, Luo Fu had come this time to find the Blue Spider Lily that could allow him to completely escape the inability to directly face the sunlight, not to resolve the Demon Slayer Corps.

In Luo Fu's heart, from his standpoint, he was closer to a third party independent of the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons, or rather, above both.

Demons or Demon Slayer Corps members, in Luo Fu's eyes, there was no difference.

At this stage, perhaps Luo Fu was the weakest of the three parties, but Luo Fu had indeed found his future direction, and he certainly wouldn't face the entire Demon Slayer Corps' siege when he was at his weakest.

Seeing that the Demon Slayer Corps members had finally prepared their strongest lineup.

Luo Fu's figure suddenly became erratic. In the next moment, one figure after another constantly split from Luo Fu's body.

The clones of Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Fear, Love, Hate, and Desire, the Seven Emotions and Seven Deadly Sins, appeared one after another.

In addition to these, even more inconceivable existences appeared.

For example, a boy holding a wooden fish and mallet, a girl holding a bronze chime, a middle-aged man holding a bell...

These previously unseen clones were not as obvious as the Seven Deadly Sins clones and the Seven Emotions clones, but the appearance of these clones made people feel a sense of inner peace.

Even though these new clones hadn't yet demonstrated their abilities, their very existence caused the Demon Slayer Corps members present to suddenly lose some of their killing intent and fighting spirit.

"This...a Blood Demon Art of clones?" Kyojuro Rengoku finally drew his Nichirin Blade and took the lead,迎向迎向towards Pride.

Giyu Tomioka, Kanae Kocho, and Tengen Uzui also respectively held back Luo Fu's other clones.

The wooden fish boy gently struck the wooden fish. The bronze chime girl also began to strike out sounds of the chime that seemed to cleanse people's hearts.

Bell sounds, chime sounds, wooden fish sounds... intertwined with each other. In a short period of time, this deadly trap originally prepared by the Demon Slayer Corps for Luo Fu suddenly seemed to transform into a Buddhist temple paradise.

As the direct promoter of the trap, and even the one who brought Luo Fu here, Makomo.

Holding the Nichirin Blade, before she could even rush up, she was instantly washed away of all fighting spirit, killing intent, and hatred in her heart by this sudden sense of holiness, and her mind fell into unprecedented tranquility.

And at this moment, Luo Fu's main body, silently and invisibly, while the other clones disturbed the Demon Slayer Corps members' attention, came to Makomo's side.

The girl didn't even have time to react before she was easily grabbed by Luo Fu and headed towards the depths of the forest, in the direction with the fewest Demon Slayer Corps members.

Although Luo Fu didn't have the ability to see through like the Byakugan, Luo Fu's Seven Deadly Sins Eyes could directly manipulate the Seven Deadly Sins of humans.

And at this moment, the Demon Slayer Corps members who were already in battle or about to join the battle, in Luo Fu's perception, were each like torches of emotion.

He only needed to take Makomo and find the direction with the fewest of these emotional torches, and he could easily see through the weak points of the trap.

Relying on a group of clones, even the Pillars couldn't catch Luo Fu's tail in a short period of time.

And Luo Fu's main body, after grabbing Makomo, didn't even give the girl a chance to resist and went straight to the depths of Mt. Kumotori.

In this process, all the Demon Slayer Corps members who wanted to step forward to stop Luo Fu were easily provoked in their own emotions in an instant.

Under the influence of various extreme emotions, these Demon Slayer Corps members were already lacking in strength. How could they be Luo Fu's opponent, who was once Upper Moon Four?

Even though Luo Fu intentionally suppressed his urge to kill and tried his best to only choose serious injuries, he still didn't know how many Demon Slayer Corps members died under Luo Fu's Nichirin Blade.

The moment the starlight flashed, Demon Slayer Corps members were bound to die or be injured in Luo Fu's hands.

Although Makomo struggled with all her might, what could she do? A newbie who hadn't even passed the Demon Slayer Corps selection yet, how much room for struggle did she have in the hands of a powerhouse like Luo Fu?

Soon!

With Makomo in tow, Luo Fu rushed out of the Demon Slayer Corps' encirclement and entered the depths of Mt. Kumotori.

And Luo Fu's many clones were obviously not as lucky as his main body. In fact, these clones were not even as strong as Hantengu after breaking through his limits. The moment they were beheaded by the Nichirin Blade, they even caused a certain degree of damage to Luo Fu's main body.

Luo Fu's clones were closer to the Shadow Clone technique of the Naruto world. Once they died, their experience, memories, and even the pain of death would be passed on to Luo Fu's main body without any discount.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Fu, who was escaping with Makomo, would occasionally endure a wave of death's impact.

The active sacrifice of these clones did indeed buy Luo Fu enough time, allowing Luo Fu to disappear into the vast mountains with Makomo.

When the last clone was instantly beheaded by Kyojuro Rengoku's Nichirin Blade.

Along with the clones gradually turning to ashes.

Kyojuro Rengoku said, "As expected of an existence that Master believes can surpass the Demon King. This clone technique is simply too difficult to deal with. Just the ones that died in my hands alone numbered seven, and the strength of each of these clones was not inferior to that of a Lower Moon Demon."

"The mission failed." Giyu Tomioka said expressionlessly, "The target has escaped and entered the depths of Mt. Kumotori!"

"This demon seems to be an incredibly evil and cautious person, just as Master said." Kanae Kocho said with a hint of worry between her brows, "It seems we will have to search Mt. Kumotori thoroughly next."

"By the way, Master seemed to have said that this guy came to Mt. Kumotori for a purpose." Kyojuro Rengoku suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Master didn't tell us that we must kill this guy, but he did require us to stop his purpose no matter what."

After a slight pause, Kyojuro Rengoku continued, "But what exactly is this guy's purpose?"

"No matter what his purpose is," Tengen Uzui said in a deep voice, "If possible, the demon must be killed."

Kyojuro Rengoku first nodded, but then seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, I always feel like this guy looks a little familiar. But I can't remember!"

"Familiar?" Giyu Tomioka looked at Kyojuro Rengoku strangely.

After thinking for a moment, a memory from his childhood suddenly flashed through Kyojuro Rengoku's mind.

That was when his father was still the Flame Pillar and Kyojuro Rengoku was一心想一心想一心想eager to learn the Flame Breathing and become the Flame Pillar surpassing his father.

He had seen a portrait in his father, Shinjuro Rengoku's, room. The person in that portrait bore seven or eight similarities to Luo Fu just now.

What was key was that after his father suddenly fell into a slump, that painting was personally burned by Shinjuro Rengoku.

It was precisely because he had only seen Luo Fu's image once when he was very young, and so many years had passed, although the impression was deep, Luo Fu was wearing a bamboo hat and a long robe just now, which was far from the portrait.

For a moment, Kyojuro Rengoku didn't connect the owner of that portrait in his memory with Luo Fu just now.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and Kyojuro Rengoku blurted out, "I remember. When I was young, I saw a portrait of this guy in my father's room."

"Mr. Shinjuro Rengoku?" Kanae Kocho couldn't help but brighten her eyes.

Kyojuro Rengoku was actually a relatively special existence in the Demon Slayer Corps, or rather, users of Flame Breathing were actually considered relatively special existences.

Because Kyojuro Rengoku was a true descendant from a demon-hunting family.

Unlike other demon slayers, who often learn from masters from a young age or embark on the path of demon slaying due to the tragic experience of encountering demons themselves, the Rengoku family has been striving to become members of the Demon Slayer Corps since their early years.

This has made the Rengoku family almost the most special existence in the Demon Slayer Corps, second only to the Ubuyashiki family.

Many secrets that even few in the Demon Slayer Corps may know are recorded in the Rengoku family.

Kyojuro Rengoku said with a hint of sigh in his voice, "This guy... might be related to our family, or even the Demon Slayer Corps. Because... because in the portrait I saw, he was wearing the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, and even... even had a Hashira-level haori."

The haori is a special garment that only Hashira-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps are qualified to wear.

Through the haori, one can even instantly distinguish the identity of a Hashira-level Demon Slayer Corps member and the breathing style they specialize in.

For example, Kyojuro Rengoku, as the Flame Hashira, learns the Flame Breathing technique. His haori has flame patterns on the white hem.

And Kanae Kocho, the Flower Hashira, is the same, and her sister Shinobu Kocho is even more direct, her haori is simply butterfly-shaped.

Wearing the haori also means that Luo Fu... was once a Hashira-level existence in the Demon Slayer Corps.

For a time, this reality plunged the many Demon Slayer Corps members present into shock and silence.

"That guy is actually a former Hashira?" Giyu Tomioka's tone didn't have much emotional fluctuation, but strangely, almost everyone could feel his anger.

Kyojuro Rengoku's face darkened.

Luo Fu carries a Nichirin Blade that is like poison to other demons. When he was young, he even saw a portrait of Luo Fu wearing a haori in his father's room.

This series of realities undoubtedly tells Kyojuro Rengoku that Luo Fu is a Hashira who once betrayed the Demon Slayer Corps and chose to join the demon camp.

As members of the Demon Slayer Corps, there have been rare but not nonexistent cases of being transformed into demons due to various unavoidable reasons.

However, the situation of a Hashira-level existence falling into becoming a demon has never occurred in the Demon Slayer Corps from beginning to end.

This is an unprecedented and enormous shame for the Demon Slayer Corps.

Thinking of Luo Fu's troublesome clone ability.

Kyojuro Rengoku's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he said, "The task of searching for this guy in the mountains is entrusted to everyone first. I need to go down the mountain!"

"Mr. Kyojuro Rengoku," Kanae Kocho reminded, "There is a telegraph office in the town at the foot of the mountain. Perhaps you can contact Shinjuro Rengoku via telegram to find out this guy's former identity. We will try our best to find his traces."

"Understood!" Nodding vigorously, Kyojuro Rengoku said, "Then everything is entrusted to you. I will find out his identity as soon as possible and come back to join you."

The moment he finished speaking, Kyojuro Rengoku couldn't wait to disappear from everyone's sight.

With Kyojuro Rengoku's departure, the remaining Demon Slayer Corps members began a carpet search throughout Mount Kumotori.

And deep in Mount Kumotori, in a remote cave.

Luo Fu looked at the girl Makomo, who had been knocked unconscious by him. After a long sigh, Luo Fu quickly forced out a drop of his own blood and dropped it into Makomo's mouth.

If possible, Luo Fu didn't really want to use his own blood to transform demons so quickly.

After all, his goal is to make up for the weakness of demons being unable to withstand sunlight.

In Luo Fu's view, the Blue Spider Lily is a necessary item for demons to evolve into perfect creatures.

If he could transform others into demons after obtaining the Blue Spider Lily, Luo Fu had a vague premonition that the demons he transformed would also inherit his ability to ignore the sun after he had completed himself.

But now, Makomo not only tricked Luo Fu, but also increased the difficulty for Luo Fu to find the Blue Spider Lily in Mount Kumotori.

Now, Luo Fu has no choice but to turn Makomo into his helper first.

It is certain that the Blue Spider Lily must be growing not far from the Kamado Tanjiro family.

After all, since it is picked and eaten as a wild vegetable, it cannot be too far from the residence.

But Luo Fu is completely ignorant of Mount Kumotori. Outside, there are countless Demon Slayer Corps members searching for him at any time, but he himself knows nothing about Mount Kumotori.

Makomo, a girl whose hometown is in Mount Kumotori, has naturally become an extremely important tool for Luo Fu.

As the blood entered her mouth, Makomo couldn't help but frown deeply.

In this world, the process of demon transformation is much faster than when Uchiha Luo Fu used his own blood to transform others in the ninja world.

In just a short moment, Makomo suddenly opened her blood-red eyes with a soft moan.

In her eyes, a black tomoe swirled around.

Sharingan.

Unexpectedly, in this world, after returning from the shared space, the first time he transformed someone into a demon, he actually gave Makomo the Sharingan from the ninja world.

Makomo, who had woken up, was now filled with an unprecedented sense of crazy hunger.

Her scarlet eyes stared at Luo Fu, and Makomo couldn't wait to say, "What... what did you do to me?"

At this time, Luo Fu was not in the mood to play any tricks with Makomo.

After giving Makomo some time to accept reality, Luo Fu went straight to the point, "I believe you should already understand your situation. You are now a demon. If you want to get rid of the disadvantage of demons being unable to face the sun, then tell me, where does the charcoal-burning family live in Mount Kumotori?"

"You... you hateful guy, evil demon. Don't even think... don't even think I will tell you anything." Since she had given up pretending, Makomo certainly wouldn't hide anything anymore.

But her reaction made Luo Fu's eyes light up instantly.

Even if he is directly transformed by the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, once a human becomes a demon, he will lose a large part of his former memories, and some may even forget everything about themselves.

Even Luo Fu's predecessor was the same. The predecessor, whose entire family was killed by demons, and Luo Fu after being transformed into a demon, were completely like having separate personalities.

The latter has no empathy for the former at all.

But the Makomo in front of him is clearly not like that.

She, who has transformed from a human to a demon, has not forgotten her former memories at all.

From this point alone, Makomo is simply more special than any demon Luo Fu has ever seen.

Luo Fu naturally regarded Makomo's reaction as a special characteristic after he shared Uchiha Luo Fu and Yiren Luo Fu.

Compared to studying his own transformation, without a doubt, finding the Blue Spider Lily is the most crucial thing.

Makomo's refusal made Luo Fu suddenly reveal a cruel smile.

Don't think that just because Makomo looks cute, Luo Fu will forget that the reason why he is so constrained now is entirely because of this little guy's superb acting skills that can even deceive himself.

Among the shared space, the three Luo Fus who traveled to different worlds, after awakening the memories of their previous lives, the one with the lowest sense of identity with the current situation is probably Demon Slayer Luo Fu.

This is not only because Demon Slayer Luo Fu is a man-eating demon, but more importantly, the time he is currently in, placed in the outside world, is before World War I.

From decades ago until the end of World War II, the island nation committed unforgivable sins against the ancient oriental country in his memory.

No matter how cute Makomo looks on the outside, Luo Fu is definitely not someone whose three views follow his five senses.

Faced with Makomo's martyr-like resolute expression, Luo Fu just smiled cruelly and directly began to torture the lower-ranked as a superior.

The vast number of demons is a very distinct hierarchical structure, with almost clear distinctions in authority below the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji.

Lower-ranked individuals can never affect upper-ranked individuals, but upper-ranked individuals can easily torture lower-ranked individuals.

This torture is all-encompassing, even more terrifying than death.

The lower-ranked demon Rui, who can manipulate threads, his future family members, who he transformed, clearly fear him to the bone, but they dare not resist any of Rui's requests. This fear even surpasses the fear of death and the sun.

From this point alone, it is enough to judge the distinct level of the demon hierarchy.
