The moment his words fell, Muzan's flesh began to undergo violent distortion and transformation!
His originally somewhat normal arms suddenly swelled and elongated.
His skin became as hard as steel, with countless sharp blade-like barbs emerging from the ends, transforming into two terrifying thorn whips covered in fine scales!
At the same time, Kanae also moved!
[Magic Sword Descent] activated!
With a thought, among the four magic swords surrounding her Nichirin blade.
"Plambertz," representing fire, blazed with intense light, crimson flames instantly wrapping around the blade, transforming it into a burning blade of fire!
"Flames... again these detestable flames!"
Muzan sensed the flame aura emanating from that Nichirin blade, which instinctively filled him with disgust and fear, and let out an angry roar!
"Die!"
The two rock-hard thorn whips shot out like cannon shells, accompanied by the sharp whistle of tearing air.
One from the left, one from the right, viciously lashing toward Kanae!
Their force was fierce enough to easily snap steel!
However, facing this violent attack, Kanae stood in place, neither dodging nor avoiding.
Her gaze was calm as water, simply raising the hand that held her sword.
Sword Wielder skill——[Phantom Sword Technique]!
Hum!
A phantom figure identical to Kanae, composed of pure energy, condensed and formed before her!
The moment this phantom appeared, it immediately wielded an energy longsword burning with the same flames, actively advancing to meet those two terrifying thorn whips!
Clang! Clang!
Two sharp sounds of metal clashing rang out!
Those two terrible thorn whips capable of breaking gold and splitting stone were as fragile as rotten wood before the flame energy sword wielded by the phantom!
In just one exchange, they were cleanly severed into several pieces, scattering on the ground!
"What?"
Seeing this, Muzan became even more furious!
He suddenly roared toward the sky, the flesh on his back writhing.
Nine more elongated, more flexible tube whips like venomous snakes instantly grew out!
These nine tube whips moved at extreme speed, even exceeding the speed of sound!
Leaving blurred afterimages in the air as they enveloped Kanae from all directions!
Even the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps standing in the distance could barely make out the trajectory of these tube whips!
The tips of the tube whips flickered with eerie red light, carrying Muzan's own blood!
Even a single hit would allow the contained Demon King's blood to instantly invade the opponent's body, destroying cellular structure and completely dissolving them!
However, facing this overwhelming, unavoidable attack, Kanae still neither dodged nor avoided!
Her gaze remained cold, only slightly changing her sword-holding posture.
[Triple Shadow Slash]!
Clang——!!!
Another deafening sound of sword drawing!
Three crescent-shaped flame sword energies dozens of meters high, more condensed and more violent than when she slayed Doma.
Like three falling suns, instantly erupted from her unsheathed blade!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Where the flame sword energies passed, space itself twisted and trembled!
Those nine lightning-fast, poison-laden tube whips.
The moment they contacted the flame sword energies, they were instantly melted and vaporized like scrap iron thrown into a furnace, leaving not even a trace!
Even Muzan himself, being too close, was directly swept by these three overwhelmingly powerful flame sword energies!
"Splash——!"
Muzan let out an extremely pained muffled groan, his entire upper body.
Was actually severed by more than half by these three sword energies! Exposing the writhing flesh and organs within!
If he weren't the Demon King with terrifying recovery abilities far beyond ordinary demons, this single strike alone would have already completely killed him!
Even so, Muzan felt unprecedented weakness!
The flame sword energies not only destroyed his flesh, but the special flame power contained within was madly burning.
Corroding his demon cells, greatly slowing his regeneration speed!
The intense pain and enormous consumption made Muzan's complexion even paler, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
Kanae's sword techniques, combined with those demon-restraining flames, caused far too much damage to him!
He couldn't continue testing anymore!
Alarms rang in Muzan's heart, knowing that continuing like this, he would definitely be worn to death by this woman!
He originally still had his final trump card hidden—self-division!
He could split his entire body into over eighteen hundred small pieces of flesh, scattering in all directions.
As long as one piece of flesh escaped, he could make a comeback!
But now, he was trapped in that damned light prison!
Even if he divided, he couldn't escape at all, only becoming a pile of meat scraps waiting to be burned to ash!
The only way to survive was to fight desperately!
"Ahhhhhh——!!!"
Despair and the will to survive completely overwhelmed Muzan's rationality at this moment!
He let out a mad roar like a wild beast!
His body began to twist, swell, and transform in an extremely bizarre manner!
Muscles bulged, bones cracked, skin tore and reformed!
Muzan poured all his power, all his resentment, all his survival instincts into this final transformation!
Finally, he became a massive flesh monster dozens of meters tall, extremely ugly, ferocious, and terrifying!
This monster was covered all over with twisted tumors, sharp bone spikes.
And countless mouths that opened, emitting silent screams!
Emanating nauseating stench and a terrifying aura that could instantly cause ordinary people's mental collapse!
This was Muzan Kibutsuji's final form, twisted by the purest survival instinct when facing desperate straits!
Seeing Muzan transform into such a terrifying monster, Kanae's gaze showed no wavering.
She simply took a deep breath, mobilizing the power belonging to the Sword Wielder within her, and all the potential brought by LV2 level, without reservation!
She gripped tightly the Nichirin blade still burning with blazing flames, raising it high above her head, the blade tip pointing straight to the sky!
At this moment, the aura around her climbed to its peak!
As if she had transformed into a flame goddess wielding judgment!
Sword Wielder's strongest skill at this stage——
"Evil-Slaying Strike!!!"
Accompanied by a clear shout full of power!
Kanae's figure moved!
Her entire being transformed into a blazing red stream of light piercing heaven and earth, charging toward that massive and ugly flesh monster at a speed that exceeded the limits of vision!
Draw the sword! Unsheath!
Clang——————!!!
Indescribable brilliant blade light completely erupted at this moment!
It wasn't one strike, nor hundreds or thousands!
But like the Milky Way pouring down, densely packed, endless slashes!
Every slash carried blazing flames capable of incinerating all things!
Every slash was fast as lightning, absolutely precise!
Tens of thousands of flame blade lights, like violent storms, madly poured down on the massive flesh monster that Muzan had become!
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
The cutting sounds continued like the densest drumbeats!
Even Muzan's monster body, massive as a small mountain, appeared so fragile before those endless flame blade lights!
His body was constantly cut! Constantly shattered!
From a huge mass of flesh, to smaller chunks, then to fine minced meat, finally to particles smaller than dust!
The entire process was extremely fast!
Muzan couldn't even let out a proper cry of anguish, his proud regenerative ability.
Before the destructive slashes of Evil-Slaying Strike, was completely useless!
All cells, all consciousness, all traces of existence.
Were completely, cleanly——
Burned! Annihilated!
Until... they became nothingness!
When the last flame blade light dissipated in the air, no trace of Muzan could be seen in the field anymore.
Only the ground slightly reddened from high-temperature burning remained, along with the faint smell of charring in the air.
Thus, the Demon Slayer Corps' ultimate goal, passed down for a thousand years, for which countless lives had been sacrificed——
The progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji...
Was finally executed!
Kanae slowly sheathed her sword, the flames on the blade gradually extinguishing.
She raised her head, watching the Infinity Castle continuously collapsing.
From that twisted sky above, she seemed to see the dawn's light.
A thousand-year wish, finally fulfilled!
