Chapter 560 Realistic Barrier

Chen Anxia and Ou Shengzi naturally noticed the returning pseudo-Heroic Spirit, as well as the Nine Pillars and Tanjiro Kamado who were following the pseudo-Heroic Spirit.

That hymn of praise for humanity resounded in the minds of Chen Anxia and Ao Shengzi at this moment.

And the hymn of humanity that resounded caused the bloodline of 'humanity' within Chen Anxia and Ao Shengzi to begin to throb, resonate, and boil.

No further words were needed; their shared bloodline had already made them aware of each other's feelings and beliefs.

Without any hesitation, the Holy Son of Ao wielded his twin swords and walked towards the Taotie, which was still evolving, while chanting his own martial arts mantra.

"The Lonely Path".

"It does not violate common sense."

"Life is not about seeking pleasure."

“…”

"Respect Buddha and gods without seeking anything from them."

"I may die, but I will never abandon the name of a warrior."

"Never stray from the path of martial arts."

"This is... my martial way!"

The moment the words of the Osaka Saint fell, under the shocked and incredulous gazes of Chen Anxia, ​​Jiuzhu, and Kamado Tanjiro, the world before them began to undergo some unknown change.

At this moment, Chen Anxia seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but murmur with a tremor in his heart, "This is... a Reality Marble!?"

The reason Chen Anxia believed it to be an inherent barrier was because, in Chen Anxia's eyes, the world before him was actually changing.

The once dark, ominous, and desolate ruins of the Asakusa Forbidden Zone have been transformed into a bright, holy world filled with wisteria blossoms and petals fluttering in the air.

In Chen Anxia's understanding, the only thing capable of such a large-scale change in the world of Type-Moon is the Inherent Barrier.

In the Type-Moon universe, a Reality Marble is a magic that materializes one's own mental landscape.

It is a type of magic that rewrites reality using the practitioner's mental imagery, and it is also the closest magic to magic itself. Furthermore, it is listed in the Forbidden Spells Index by the Magic Association.

The Reality Marble is a subgenre of 'Imaginary Manifestation' magic, a barrier that shapes the caster's mental world and erodes the real world.

The realization of imagination, as the name suggests, is to bring the things depicted in one's mind to reality, thereby creating something from nothing.

Unlike figurative representation, the form of a Reality Marble is not something the caster can freely decide.

Because a bounded field is formed from the caster's unique inner self, the caster cannot control the formation of the bounded field.

The Reality Marble Chen Anxia was most familiar with was Shirou Emiya's Unlimited Blade Works.

Similar to the Reality Marble that the Holy Child is currently using, once Shirou Emiya uses Unlimited Blade Works, the world will be replaced by Shirou Emiya's mental landscape.

His mental landscape is an endless wilderness studded with countless swords, stray sparks flying haphazardly, and giant gears in the distance, resembling a landscape of an ironworks or forging yard.

This is also the origin of the name Unlimited Blade Works.

The inner landscape of Osaka is clearly different from that of Shirou Emiya. The bright world filled with wisteria flowers and petals flying everywhere is obviously the only inner world of Osaka.

Chen Anxia never imagined that after becoming a Heroic Spirit, the Holy Son of Ao would be able to open a Reality Barrier.

However, Chen Anxia could roughly guess why the mental landscape of the Holy Son was related to wisteria flowers.

It must have been that period of life in Tengxi Mountain, in the Returning Home Organization, and amidst the sea of ​​wisteria flowers that left an indelible impression on Ao Shengzi's heart.

It's even possible that the life they lived back then was the life that the Holy Son of the Osaka family longed for and desired.

Thus, the mental landscape before us was born.

Chen Anxia simply didn't know what kind of power this bright world, filled with wisteria blossoms and whose petals fluttered in the air, possessed.

Not only was Chen Anxia unaware, but the pseudo-Heroic Spirits shrouded in the Reality Barrier, as well as the Nine Pillars and Tanjiro Kamado, were also unaware.

Among them, the Nine Pillars and Tanjiro Kamado were completely baffled by the situation before them.

They couldn't understand why the world's scenery had suddenly changed, or why the sun was shining brightly on the earth when it should have been night.

At the same time, it was the first time they had ever seen such a bright, holy, magnificent, and beautiful world, and they were momentarily mesmerized.

Just as the Holy Son of Ao unfolded his Reality Barrier, the Taotie, which was evolving, seemed to smell the fragrance of wisteria flowers that filled the heavens and earth within the Reality Barrier, and felt the scorching sunlight, and began to become restless.

From its mouth, the Taotie began to roar in obscure language, "The disgusting smell, the disgusting sunlight, the disgusting world..."

"Destruction, destroy everything..."

The roar of the Taotie actually created a terrifying sound wave.

The sound waves are invisible, but the wisteria petals fluttering in the air are tangible.

So much so that everyone present saw the wisteria petals, which were wildly swaying as they were impacted by the invisible sound waves.

This prepared them mentally, and they all used various methods to block the invisible sound waves.

During this time, Kanae Kocho unleashed her Noble Phantasm, Flower Guardian, to shield the Nine Pillars, Tanjiro Kamado, and the others from the invisible sonic wave impact.

On the other side, the Holy Son of Ao completely ignored the Taotie's sonic attack. Looking at the Taotie, which was already over ten meters tall and exuded a strong sense of oppression and fear, he said with a solemn expression, "Ah, indeed, I will destroy you, but I will destroy you!"

As he spoke, the Holy Son of Ao raised the twin swords in his hands.

As the Holy Son of Ao moved, the wisteria petals that were flying everywhere seemed to receive a command and rushed wildly toward the twin swords that the Holy Son of Ao held high.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the wisteria petals flying everywhere had enveloped the twin swords in the hands of the Holy Son, and gathered together to reconstruct a giant wisteria flower twin sword with a length of more than five meters.

The next moment, under everyone's gaze, the enormous wisteria-flower twin blades were seen being easily lifted by the Holy Son of Ao as if they were weightless.

"Wisteria Blossoms - Dual Blade Dance!"

With a murmur from the Holy Son, he began to wildly slash at the enormous wisteria-flower twin blades in his hands with unimaginable speed.

Apart from Chen Anxia, ​​even the group of pseudo-heroic spirits present could not fully see the movements of the Holy Son at this moment.

In their eyes, all they saw were streaks of purple, cold light flashing in the void, leaving behind mysterious and dazzling trails.

Like a painting created by nature itself, it is deeply imprinted on the huge body of Taotie.

Immediately, the Holy Son of Ao stopped what he was doing.

As the Holy Son of Ao stopped what he was doing, the Taotie's body was chopped into countless pieces, mixed with black blood, which fell to the ground like a torrential rain.

Seeing this, the Holy Son made another move, whispering, "Wisteria Flower - Petal Dance!"

The next moment, the huge wisteria flower twin blades transformed into countless wisteria petals that flew all over the sky and rushed toward the fragments of the Taotie's body.

In Chen Anxia's eyes, the wisteria petals fluttering in the air seemed to transform into countless sharp blades, gleaming coldly as they danced.

This also reminded Chen Anxia of Byakuya Kuchiki's Zanpakuto skills, the captain of the sixth division of the Gotei 13 in Bleach.

......

Chapter 561 Human Fear, the Concept of Death!

Under the control of the Holy Son, the wisteria petals that were flying everywhere rushed over in an instant, covering the Taotie's body that had been cut into countless pieces.

Among those present, only Chen Anxia and the returned pseudo-heroic spirits knew that the Holy Son of Ao was trying to use the countless wisteria petals flying everywhere to destroy the Taotie's body that had been cut into countless pieces.

The Holy Son wanted to see if the Taotie would be killed if its body was completely destroyed.

Chen Anxia and the returned pseudo-heroic spirit also wanted to know the answer to this question.

The Nine Pillars, Tanjiro Kamado, and the others were still unaware of the true nature of the wisteria petals flying everywhere, nor did they understand the meaning behind Ootengu's decision to have the wisteria petals cover the fragments of the Taotie's body.

Amidst their bewilderment, the Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji, gazing at the wisteria petals fluttering in the air and the wisteria blossoms blooming all around, couldn't help but whisper, "It's so beautiful..."

As she spoke, Kanroji Mitsuri subconsciously reached out to touch the blooming wisteria flowers beside her.

The moment Kanroji Mitsuri reached out and touched the wisteria flower, it seemed to be startled, rising up without wind, flying into the air, and dancing gracefully.

Kanroji Mitsuri was unable to express her amazement at the beautiful scenery.

Because her fingers, which had touched the wisteria, were now throbbing with pain.

Following the source of the pain, Kanroji Mitsuri saw that her finger had been cut, and bright red blood was flowing out of the cut.

Upon seeing this, Kanroji Mitsuri's face was filled with disbelief. As if realizing something, she exclaimed in surprise, "These wisteria petals are actually as sharp as blades!?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Pillars, Tanjiro Kamado, and the others were taken aback at first, and then their eyes all turned to the wisteria flowers surrounding them.

Upon closer inspection, they finally discovered that on those seemingly ordinary wisteria petals, there was a barely perceptible purple glint.

This fact made them unable to resist looking at the countless wisteria petals covering the fragments of the Taotie's body.

At that moment, they finally understood the profound meaning behind the Holy Son's actions.

But it is precisely because they understand the profound meaning behind the Holy Son's actions that their own cognition and worldview are being overturned and collapsing.

In their inherent understanding and worldview, apart from the power of demons, breathing techniques should be the most extraordinary power in this world, enabling them to possess physical abilities comparable to demons.

Previously, even the Holy Son of the Ages, who returned as a heroic spirit, still used the power of breathing techniques.

The inherent barrier before them, and the power wielded by the Holy Son within it, had surpassed their comprehension, making it impossible for them to understand or comprehend.

They knew that even if they cultivated their breathing techniques to their limits, even if they reached the limit of the Initial Breathing - Sun Breathing Technique, their power would still be incomparable to the power that the Holy Son of the Abyss was currently wielding.

There was no other reason than that the power that the Holy Son of Ao was unleashing at this moment was truly too strong, so strong that it shocked them, made them unable to accept or digest it, and made them feel as if they were seeing a god.

In a daze, Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but murmur, "Is this... the power of a Heroic Spirit?"

Kanae Kocho, who had been protecting the nine pillars and Tanjiro Kamado by activating her Noble Phantasm, Flower Protection, said upon hearing this, "This world is vast, more vast than you can imagine."

"Therefore, we should always have a sense of awe for this world, because you have no idea what kind of powerful beings exist in this world."

"Moreover, the pursuit of one's own strength must never stop. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to truly understand the essence of the world."

As she spoke, Kanae Butterfly turned her gaze to the Holy Child, who now seemed like a god, and continued, "Although the Holy Child is strong, there are many Servants stronger than her in the Throne of Heroes."

"And their power is a taboo that you cannot even imagine."

Kanae's words resonated like a morning bell and evening drum, causing the Nine Pillars, Tanjiro Kamado, and the others to fall into deep thought.

Just as they were deep in thought, the Holy Son waved his hand and scattered the wisteria petals that covered the fragments of the Taotie's body.

Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia and the pseudo-heroic spirits present tensed up, their eyes fixed intently on the spot where the wisteria petals had scattered.

In their eyes, the scattered fragments of the Taotie's body had completely disappeared, leaving only a pool of dark blood flowing from the Taotie's body.
