Chapter 159 Muzan's Self-Destructive Path
As the fight progressed, Muzan finally realized something was wrong. It wasn't that his power couldn't clear away the residual energy from Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er, but rather that his own power was being continuously devoured by the energy in his wounds! It then transformed into a force that hindered his self-healing!
This is a vicious cycle. Muzan cannot heal himself if he doesn't use energy to clear the energy from his wounds, but the energy he can use is then devoured by the energy from the wounds. How can he clear this cycle?
This is what makes Bai Yuxiu's "ether" so extraordinary! It's practically like chaos! Mysterious and unpredictable! This ability is merely one form of application that she has developed.
As for Wind Chime's "Storm," it's much simpler and more direct—it's simply a massive, all-encompassing attack! Countless storm forces surround her, pure, natural power! Its attack and destructive power are terrifying.
The combined fighting power of the two women is something Li Muyang now has to take seriously (as he himself said).
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Muzan's Dao heart was already somewhat unstable from the beating! He couldn't understand why, even though he had clearly transformed into the ultimate perfect being, he still couldn't defeat two of Li Muyang's followers! And they were both women!
Tsk tsk tsk! Even Muzan-sama is sexist!
Unfortunately, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er had no interest in explaining to him. Muzan only appeared strong; to the two women, he seemed more like a brat wielding a giant tree trunk! He could probably beat up other people if he wanted to use his strength to throw bricks, but it was no problem for the two women!
Instead, I used it like a training dummy.
However, just as the battle was reaching its most intense stage, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er suddenly stopped at the same time, each picking up one of Li Yichen and Cao Zhi, and leaving the battlefield.
Muzan, whose fighting spirit had just begun to wane, was caught off guard and looked at the two of them in confusion.
"What do you mean?" Muzan was clearly not quite clear-headed at this point, and asked somewhat blankly, "Why did you suddenly stop?"
Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er didn't turn their heads. One was too lazy to explain to Muzan, while the other did explain, but Feng Ling'er only vaguely left a sentence: "That's enough!"
Bai Yuxiu then continued, "There's no need to continue this battle. Your limit is what it is now, and we've collected all the experience we need."
The two girls had very calm expressions. Muzan was already doomed, so they were just courting death.
Well, Muzan himself didn't realize that his power had stopped growing, or rather, the rate of growth had become negligible at some point, because he could no longer contain any more power.
No one even needs to lift a finger; Muzan himself will explode due to the excessive energy within him.
Muzan was clearly provoked by the two women's words, and roared furiously, "What nonsense are you talking about! I can't possibly lose! It's clearly the two of you who can't keep going! I'm still absorbing your combat experience! I can become even stronger! You're the ones who are going to lose!"
The two women had no interest in teasing the dying man any longer. They shook their heads and continued walking towards Li Muyang. Enraged by the women's indifference, Muzan unleashed countless thorns from behind, aiming at the two women again... but missed.
They all missed.
Muzan then realized something was wrong. He seemed unable to control his power skillfully anymore, and even the surface of his body was writhing irregularly! It was as if countless insects were crawling under his skin!
"No! This isn't right! What have you done?!" Muzan shouted in disbelief, but then, like a balloon, he began to swell and grow larger! In the blink of an eye, he no longer had a human form! Instead, he was a huge, irregular fleshy balloon! Covered in craters and pustules!
A vibrant green liquid began to seep from its body, and a drop that fell to the ground grew into a lush green grove at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, it was Li Muyang's turn to step forward. He put away the melon seeds and slowly walked up to Muzan, holding the Shennong Ruler in his hand.
"Muzan, how come you didn't notice? You can't absorb too much energy from that flower at once!" Li Muyang said earnestly, "The situation is obvious now! You overeat and have indigestion."
"You're too obsessed with power, drawing it endlessly from that blue spider lily without considering whether you can control it. If you can't control the power, then you can only be controlled by it. So, it's not that we schemed against you, but that your own greed caused this disaster."
"Damn it! It can't be! I can't be..." Muzan still stubbornly refused to admit it, but he could also feel that the blue spider lily in his body was out of control. It wasn't that the energy in the flower was inexhaustible, but that he had absorbed too much energy. At this moment, his own energy had been assimilated by the energy of the blue spider lily!
The plant absorbs nutrients, and the blue spider lily has taken root in his body. Moreover, it has begun to absorb his energy as nutrients. Muzan is being assimilated by the blue spider lily!
He couldn't control the energy of the blue spider lily, which led to the current situation.
In fact, they are life energy and soul energy. The level of these two forces is too high. Muzan's ability alone is not enough to control them. As mentioned before, when the total amount of these two energies is appropriate, they are good medicine for curing diseases and saving lives. However, once there is an excess, they become extremely poisonous substances that lead to distortion and erroneous evolution!
Watching Muzan twist and mutate, beginning to transform into a plant, Li Muyang sighed and said, "So be it. After all, I was the one who brought out this flower. Although you deserve it now, it's time to send you to your release!"
"Insolence!" Muzan's face was contorted beyond recognition, and he could not hide the panic in his eyes. He realized that he could no longer control the Blue Spider Lily, and his body was no longer under his control! He was now a target! He had no choice but to change his mind and temporarily sacrifice the Blue Spider Lily to save the king!
The solution is easy to come up with, but putting it into practice is not so easy!
Having developed to this point, Li Muyang could no longer give Muzan a chance to breathe.
"Hmm, let's try out the new technique!"
"Sun Breathing - Thirteenth Form - Corona Light!"
Li Muyang, along with the Shennong Ruler in his hand, suddenly erupted with a scorching and dazzling light! As the Shennong Ruler, held high above his head, gradually solidified, it transformed into a massive nine-ringed broadsword forty meters long!
True Demon Slayer!
Holding the forty-meter-long sword he had conjured high, Li Muyang continued his verbal attack without stopping: "Although I'm a little embarrassed, I feel I should just go through the motions. The necessary procedures must be followed. Muzan, do you still remember the question Yoriichi Tsugikuni asked you back then?"
"Muzan! What do you think of life?!"
In an instant, Li Muyang's aura surged! His eyes shone brightly! In the blur, the figure in Muzan's eyes perfectly overlapped with that figure from back then!
Muzan o(╥﹏╥)o: You're treating this like a treasure, bro!
Just kidding, because as Li Muyang spoke, his forty-meter-long sword had already fallen! It thoroughly purified and disinfected Muzan, who had turned into a giant ball of flesh! Under the continuous output of the radiant sword, Muzan's figure disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye!
However, Muzan, who had been purified, felt no pain at all; in fact, he felt a sense of relief! It turned out that he had been absorbing energy so much that his body was already exhausted and numb, and he couldn't even feel the pain.
Can plants feel pain?
Perhaps, but the principles by which plants and animals perceive pain are definitely different. Therefore, Muzan, who was transformed into a half-plant, half-flesh state, naturally could not receive the warnings from his body.
That is, suffering.
The radiant blade relentlessly purified Muzan for over a minute. When the light gradually faded, the enormous ball of flesh that had been before everyone's eyes had vanished, leaving only a bottomless canyon! A faint afterglow still lingered on the canyon walls!
It was as if a giant had stabbed the ground with a huge sword!
"Muzan...is dead?" Kanae Kocho blinked and asked.
Shinobu Kocho stood there with her mouth agape, unsure how to answer, while the others also fell into deep thought.
What happened was so shocking to their values. Everyone knew that Li Muyang was very strong, but it was really hard to imagine that a person could control a power that was comparable to a natural disaster!
Basically, Muzan in the past was just claiming to be a natural disaster, which was just self-praise. Compared to a natural disaster, he didn't have the kind of power that could completely instill despair.
More importantly, it's his incredible self-healing ability; apart from the sun, there's no other way to counter it.
To be honest, the power that Wind Chime, who controls the storm, just displayed might be more like a natural disaster!
As a result, even after overcoming the weakness to sunlight, Muzan was still completely purified by a single strike!
Well, although it was a series of battles, as we all know, bosses refresh their health bars when they enter a new phase! That fleshy ball just now, Muzan was only unable to move, but with the Blue Spider Lily as a backup hidden energy source, his self-healing ability was actually even more OP!
Even with the Demon Slayer Corps' Sun Breathing technique, the damage they could inflict would likely be limited!
Moreover, those mysterious emerald green liquids were extremely dangerous, and Li Muyang took direct action to purify them to prevent others from touching them.
After putting away the Shennong Ruler, the blue spider lily swayed and fell from the sky, obediently lying in Li Muyang's palm. With a flick of his wrist, he put it away as well.
This whole drama orchestrated by Li Muyang has finally come to an end.
It's hard to say!
Just then, Li Muyang suddenly noticed something, raised an eyebrow, and slammed his hands on the ground. In an instant, scorching magma suddenly erupted within a one-kilometer radius!
