Chapter 56: Heavenly Restriction Inverted Spear of Heaven
After Lin Xuan transmigrated into jujutsu kaisen and determined his point in time, he didn't waste a single moment, preparing with all his might for the future battle against Sukuna.
Cleaning up the Zenin Family, befriending Toji Fushiguro and Gojo Satoru, finding ways to subjugate Mahoraga, fully developing the Ten Shadows Technique... aside from killing Suguru Geto, Kenjaku, and Yuji Itadori in advance, Lin Xuan did everything he could.
Among these, naturally, were the strongest external forces in jujutsu kaisen besides techniques—Cursed Tools.
The Heavenly Restriction Inverted Spear of Heaven was purchased in advance, and people were sent to Africa early on to find the Black Rope; every Special Grade Cursed Tool he could get his hands on was added to his collection.
Logically, with these buffs, fighting Sukuna shouldn't have been a major issue, but despite all his calculations, Lin Xuan overlooked one thing.
He forgot that Sukuna was the Legendary Loan King.
Ultimately, one wrong step led him to transmigrate again, this time to the Douluo Continent.
From the beginning, Lin Xuan knew it was a Soul Transmigration, and his Martial Souls were the Ten Shadows Technique and the Malevolent Shrine, which caused him heartache for a long time.
After all, if it were a Body Transmigration, he could have brought all the Cursed Tools in his shadow with him.
But in his sixth year, when his Martial Soul officially awakened and he communicated with his shadow once more, Lin Xuan realized he was wrong.
Those Cursed Tools had actually followed him, but not entirely.
To be precise, those in the shadow were only the original techniques bestowed upon the Cursed Tools; because they were kept in the shadow for a long time, the techniques of the Cursed Tools had been imprinted into the shadow.
This was similar to how Yuji Itadori had Sukuna's techniques imprinted on him.
However, Lin Xuan couldn't use these techniques himself; but he could create the original carriers for the Cursed Tools one-to-one and then bestow the techniques onto the carriers again.
In short, as long as he spent time making the carriers, the Cursed Tools Lin Xuan once owned could reappear in the world... "Lin Xuan... what, what is this you're holding? A spirit tool?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked in confusion, looking at the object Lin Xuan had pulled from his shadow.
"A spirit tool?"
Lin Xuan chuckled softly; if there were a spirit tool today that could compare to what was in his hand, the Sun Moon Empire would have unified the world long ago.
Lin Xuan then ignored Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and suddenly stepped forward, rushing toward the Six-Armed Demon Ape not far away, which was still focused on defense.
He was so fast that almost the instant the thought arose, he had approached the giant ape with chilling killing intent!
The effect of the Endless Slash Domain Soul skills only lasted thirty seconds, and twenty-five seconds had already passed, meaning Lin Xuan needed to completely finish off this Six-Armed Demon Ape in the next five seconds!
"This is too reckless! Even if you get close, how are you going to break that tortoise shell?!"
Inside the Spiritual Sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was so anxious it was practically jumping; it simply couldn't believe that what Lin Xuan held could break the Six-Armed Demon Ape's defense.
Lin Xuan turned a deaf ear, his leg muscles tensing as he suddenly leaped high into the air, reaching the height of the Six-Armed Demon Ape's chest, then continued to rise until he was level with those blood-red, tyrannical beast eyes!
At this moment, he clearly saw the hideous face of this giant beast as it exploded in desperation.
Its eyes were blood-red, erupting with endless anger and pain; its twisted facial muscles were knotted, fangs bared, and the roaring air carried a stench of blood, like a Rakshasa demon crawling out of a bloody battle in hell.
Yet Lin Xuan's expression was terrifyingly calm; then, his right hand, which had been behind him, suddenly swung in a semi-arc from the diagonal rear.
He swung it down violently!
At the moment he swung his arm, the object that had been hidden by his figure and the darkness was finally fully revealed under the light of the dark red barrier surrounding the Six-Armed Demon Ape.
It was a short sword of strange, even bizarre, design.
The blade had an uncoordinated curvature and an asymmetrical structure, engraved with spiral incantations, and its entire body was a dull silver-gray.
——Special Grade Cursed Tool [Heavenly Restriction Inverted Spear of Heaven]!
A heaven-defying artifact with the power to "forcibly nullify all techniques"!
A cold light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes; without any hesitation, the short sword swung down, slashing directly at that rock-solid dark red barrier!
Upon contact, there was no violent collision as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had expected, nor was there even the slightest sense of resistance.
The bizarre blade of the Heavenly Restriction Inverted Spear of Heaven cut into the barrier silently, like a hot knife through cold grease.
Immediately, centered on the point of contact, the solid barrier—which flowed with dark red runes and was capable of repelling countless slashes—was instantly covered in countless black cracks like a Spider Web!
These cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire spherical barrier in the blink of an eye.
Then, it shattered with a bang!
"Roar?!!"
The Six-Armed Demon Ape's blood-red pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpricks; the next moment, the endless Cleave: Dismantle struck again!
Countless slashes poured unreservedly onto its scarred body once more, and blood gushed out from dozens of new and old wounds like a fountain!
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan stepped heavily onto the Six-Armed Demon Ape's bloody shoulder!
Feeling the pain, the Six-Armed Demon Ape instinctively tried to grab its shoulder, but its movements were slowed by the interference of more slashes.
Lin Xuan's eyes were cold as he spread the five fingers of his empty left hand and pressed down hard toward the hideous, roaring head below!
His palm firmly covered the coarse fur and bulging brow bone of the Six-Armed Demon Ape's forehead.
At the moment of contact, the remaining Soul Power in Lin Xuan's body poured out like a bursting flood, no longer held back!
"It's over."
After speaking in a low voice, Lin Xuan pressed his palm slightly down on the giant ape's forehead.
Slash: Cleave, activate!
Invisible slashes, like a Spider Web, instantly erupted from Lin Xuan's palm!
This time, the Six-Armed Demon Ape, already at the end of its tether, was no longer able to resist.
Lines of hideous blood suddenly appeared, extended, and interlaced beneath its fur.
Its roar came to an abrupt halt.
In its blood-red pupils, frenzy, anger, pain... all emotions froze instantly, then were covered by a hollow, deathly gray.
The next moment, a dull explosion sounded.
That massive ape head, as if stuffed with explosives, blew apart from the inside out!
Red and white matter mixed with bone fragments splattered in all directions.
Almost at the same moment, the absolute darkness covering a hundred meters dissipated like a receding tide.
The endless slashes also ceased.
Blazing sunlight fell once more upon this ravaged forest clearing, illuminating a scene that looked like an Asura's field.
Broken ancient trees, overturned soil, and the earth soaked in dark red blood, emitting a thick, bloody stench.
The sunlight was somewhat blinding.
"Phew..."
Lin Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air carrying the scent of blood and reached up to wipe away a bit of warmth that had splashed onto his cheek.
He looked at the massive headless corpse of the Six-Armed Demon Ape and the broken remains of Mysterious Bone not far away.
The battle was over.
He had won.
Inside the Spiritual Sea, there was silence.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had witnessed everything.
From Lin Xuan's bold approach to that strange short sword easily shattering the barrier it thought was indestructible, to the final killing blow.
It didn't cheer, it didn't sigh; for a moment, it even forgot to speak.
At the same time, a thought emerged uncontrollably in its mind.
If it weren't for me... could he have become a god on his own?
