A second before the lightning covered him, Kenjaku wrapped his entire body in blood armor made with Blood Manipulation.
"You really have a lot of blood."
So much blood that it seemed almost inexhaustible; Kamo Noritoshi would be green with envy.
"After all, Blood Manipulation can only unleash its full power once you've mastered Reverse Cursed Technique."
Kenjaku said with a smile.
The next second, the two transformed into Spell turrets, continuously bombarding each other.
Whenever water approached him, Kenjaku would neutralize it with his Anti-Gravity Mechanism, preventing the water from affecting him.
Thus, the two began a war of attrition.
'This can't go on.'
Kenjaku's expression was grave.
Although he didn't know if Eichi truly had inexhaustible Cursed Energy.
Kenjaku had indeed never seen or heard of Eichi running out of Cursed Energy.
But Kenjaku's own Cursed Energy was limited.
If this attrition continued, Kenjaku couldn't guarantee how the battle would unfold.
'If that's the case...'
Kenjaku suddenly changed Tactics, deploying his Anti-Gravity Mechanism.
What is a fighting method with low Cursed Energy consumption and high damage?
In this world, the answer is physical combat!
Gravity was nullified by the Cursed Technique's effect, and Kenjaku charged towards Eichi at an extremely high speed.
Anti-Gravity Mechanism.
The forward rotation of the Cursed Technique, as its name suggests, is anti-gravity.
The reverse rotation of the Cursed Technique is gravity.
Seeing Kenjaku suddenly challenge him to physical combat, Eichi did not refuse.
"Tiger Funeral, Piercing Ox."
The Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel rotated.
Gale-force winds gathered at Eichi's feet and then jetted out, propelling Eichi into rapid flight.
Piercing Ox, on the other hand, enhanced Eichi's physical attributes.
It simultaneously increased Eichi's attack and defense.
Bang.
Their fists collided fiercely.
A visible shockwave spread out from the center of the impact.
Before the two were about to collide, Kenjaku had already adjusted his Anti-Gravity Mechanism.
He increased his attack power through gravity.
However, he was still at a disadvantage in this strike.
If it weren't for the short distance between them and Piercing Ox's insufficient acceleration, his right hand would have likely exploded from that punch.
Kenjaku looked at Eichi with a grim expression.
Eichi returned a flamboyant smile.
Then came the second punch, the third punch.
Soon, Kenjaku was forced into a defensive state.
To break the passive situation, Kenjaku endured an attack with his blood armor.
Then, seizing the opportunity, he spun and delivered an elbow strike towards Eichi's solar plexus.
The gale-force winds at Eichi's feet suddenly surged, carrying Eichi high into the air, rendering Kenjaku's elbow strike futile.
Then, Eichi, like an eagle swooping down from the sky, kicked towards Kenjaku.
Crack.
The sudden sound startled Kenjaku.
This time, the sound wasn't Kenjaku's bones breaking again.
It came from the Barrier Techniques Kenjaku had set up.
At this moment, outside the Barrier Techniques.
Nue, with a wingspan of tens of meters, was continuously releasing lightning to strike the Barrier Techniques.
In the eyes of Jujutsu Sorcerers who could perceive the effects of Cursed Techniques.
This area had already fallen into a thunderstorm.
'So fast, but never mind, the time is almost up anyway.'
Kenjaku made a judgment in his heart, then launched a life-for-a-life attack at Eichi.
Bang, bang.
Both of their attacks simultaneously landed on the other's chest.
Both of their hearts suffered severe damage at the same time.
"Puh-ha, cough cough, are you crazy?!"
Kenjaku couldn't help but curse loudly.
Normally, when encountering such a life-exchanging fighting style, shouldn't one retreat a step?
Why would someone actually exchange blows with him?
"Cough cough, you're not doing so well either, are you?"
Eichi coughed up blood, but the smile on his face grew wider.
"You lunatic."
"I least want to hear that from you."
Crack.
The first layer of Barrier Techniques broke, and the second layer wouldn't last much longer.
Eichi felt his shadow, which was originally only fixed to the size of one person, beginning to stir.
The next moment, the shadow began to expand.
Kenjaku ignored his injuries, reversed his hands, and pressed the backs of his ten fingers together.
"Domain Expansion..."
Just then, Eichi also began to form a hand seal.
However, unlike the original Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden's hand seal of crossed fingers, forming a fist-like shape after sealing, this time Eichi's hand seal involved the tips of his ten fingers touching, subtly forming the shape of a Throne.
"Domain Expansion..."
Kenjaku realized that things had once again slipped out of his control.
He had originally intended to suppress Eichi with his Domain.
If Eichi could expand his Domain, even better, as his open-type Domain had a larger range.
He could directly shatter the outer shell of Eichi's Domain from the outside, thereby forcing Eichi into a Cursed Technique Burnout state.
At that point, he might not need to retreat, and might even have a chance to resolve Eichi here.
That's right, from the moment the battle began, Kenjaku had prepared for retreat.
For this thousand-year-old schemer, unless it involved his ideals.
Otherwise, any life-risking action was foolish.
That's why he had sent his Shikigami to the stronghold to find Cursed Objects and reinforcements as soon as the battle began.
Kenjaku vigilantly looked at this hand seal, which was completely different from the one used during the star plasma vessel incident.
His mind raced, considering all possible scenarios.
"Womb Profusion."
"Throne of Heroes."
Beside Kenjaku appeared a grotesque giant tree composed of countless twisted human faces.
The surroundings transformed into a desolate wilderness.
Beside Eichi, a magnificent Throne appeared.
The Throne was entirely golden.
The backrest and seat were a vibrant red.
Below the Throne was a staircase leading to it, covered in a red carpet in the middle.
Open-type Domain · Throne of Heroes.
This Domain was Eichi's second Domain, developed over several years with the help of Medea and Tengen, by utilizing Barrier Techniques and the Holy Grail left behind by the System before it departed.
System-made, truly a masterpiece.
Later, Eichi placed the Holy Grail in Tomb of the Star Corridor, a place that could connect to Tengen's Barrier Techniques covering the entire island nation.
He then spent several years loading the Holy Grail's power onto the Barrier Techniques covering the island nation.
This extended the Holy Grail's effect to the entire island nation.
Subsequently, Eichi and Medea began constructing the Throne of Heroes based on this Foundation.
This open-type Domain · Throne of Heroes was a byproduct of that period.
Through the nationwide Barrier Techniques.
Theoretically, Eichi could deploy an open-type Domain with a larger range than a normal Domain anywhere in the island nation.
Within this Domain, Eichi could temporarily summon Heroes at will.
No rituals were needed, nor Command Spells to teleport distant Heroes.
He could directly summon temporary, Special Grade-level Heroes within the Domain.
A second ago, when Kenjaku saw Eichi preparing to use Domain Expansion, he was happily preparing to permanently trap Eichi here.
Unexpectedly, a second later, he was already contemplating how to escape.
He had originally thought that the Zenin Clan was merely boasting about Eichi's strength, claiming he was on par with or even surpassed Gojo Satoru, simply for the sake of Family prestige.
Now Kenjaku realized that this was very likely true.
Because Eichi's Heroes and Mahoraga were still protecting his students!
Even so, Eichi was so flawless.
Who could contend with Eichi in his full state?
At this moment, an image of a two-faced, four-armed figure like a demon god appeared in Kenjaku's mind.
