After being expelled, Uxas's expression turned utterly grim.
"You dare try to enslave me? In your dreams! I would rather die than let you succeed!"
Clearly, whatever he had experienced inside the Cursed Spirit Master Ball was enough to make him snap like this.
Shinji's own face darkened too. Those Master Balls were rare and irreplaceable — counting the one he had just wasted, he only had two left out of the three he had obtained.
He had thought this spirit knew when to yield, but it turned out he had just thrown away a valuable item for nothing!
"Fine then. If that is your choice — die!"
"Eradicate!"
Shinji never hesitated when it came to such matters. If not Uxas, there would always be others — Urosas, Uxsas… names meant nothing to him.
Without mercy, he unleashed the full power of his Cursed Speech to wipe the spirit from existence.
At this moment, Uxas had nothing left but the physical body of a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
His domain, his innate techniques, and all his cursed energy had been stripped away — he had even lost one eye.
This was the weakest he had ever been in his existence.
And trapped inside Shinji's domain, there was no possible way he could turn the tables.
"AAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Amidst screams of unbearable agony, Uxas was completely unmade and destroyed by the power of Cursed Speech.
✅ Special Grade Cursed Spirit — Uxas has been exorcised!
✅ Rewards: 40,000 Cursed Soul Points + 3 Domain Fragments
Only after hearing the system notification did Shinji truly believe his enemy was gone. He let out a long breath of relief.
If he had not succeeded in manifesting his second domain — and such a powerful one as Three Thousand Realms of Cursed Light — defeating Uxas would have been far more difficult, if not impossible.
Looking at his new total: 106,600 Cursed Soul Points, Shinji smiled wryly.
Not bad at all. He had not lost anything in the end.
He now wielded two domains, and had also gained many useful items.
Furthermore, he could now combine the 11 Random Cursed Technique Fragments and 5 Cursed Technique Enhancement Scroll Fragments he had collected.
That meant he would soon master another innate technique and grow even stronger.
But there was no rush — he would handle all that later.
Just as he was about to dismiss his domain and leave, Shinji noticed something lying beneath Uxas's remains.
Walking closer, he found he had received yet another pleasant surprise!
Two new items had appeared:
---
Cursed Artifact — Fox Immortal Token
Description: Formed from the condensed resentment and energy of the entire Tamamo Clan after they were slaughtered to extinction.
Effects:
1. Grants one Speed Specialty to a fox ninja. (Usable only once per fox) Cooldown: 24 hours.
2. Grants one Attack Specialty to a fox ninja. (Usable only once per fox) Cooldown: 24 hours.
3. Triggers a random evolution for a fox ninja, with a 75% chance of a positive transformation. (Usable only once per fox) Cooldown: 24 hours.
Note: The rise of an entire ninja clan lies in your hands.
Resale Value: 20,000 Cursed Soul Points
---
Cursed Artifact — Shadow Pouch
Description: A curious trinket formed from the residual power of a powerful Cursed Spirit after its death.
Effect: Contains an internal folded space of 100 cubic meters, suitable for storing and retrieving objects. Living beings cannot be kept inside.
Side Effect: There is a risk of having your hand bitten off while reaching inside — the pouch itself is alive.
Note: Do not constantly shove your dirty hand down its throat, and stop putting strange things inside it!

Shinji had never imagined that the item Tamamo Hotaru had lost would end up right here!
He guessed that the strong cursed energy within it had drawn it back somehow, until Uxas found it and claimed it for himself.
But in the end, it did not matter how it had gotten there.
What mattered was that this Fox Immortal Token was worth a whopping 20,000 points!
He was just looking for ways to replenish his reserves, so without a second thought, he sold it immediately.
He cared little how important this artifact was to that woman — after all, she herself had promised it to him as payment. And once it was his, he could do whatever he wanted with it.
"Perfect. Now I have over 120,000 points. Looking at it this way, this entire mission turned out to be very profitable."
Satisfied, Shinji decided he would never mention finding the token to Tamamo Hotaru.
His conscience, if he ever had one, was long since stained black.
As for the Shadow Pouch, it came as a wonderful surprise.
He had honestly thought Uxas would not leave behind any artifacts, having already stripped him of all his techniques and energy.
Yet here it was — small, simple, and extremely practical.
It was no bigger than a regular pouch, but lined with sharp teeth all around its opening. It really could bite a hand clean off if one was careless.
However, that side effect did not scare Shinji in the slightest.
He could easily wrap his arm in Blood Crystals beforehand for protection.
And even if he did get bitten off? He had the Reverse Curse Technique — Heal for that exact problem.
Storing everything safely away, Shinji finally released his domains.
Truth be told, he was already reaching his limit. The strain of maintaining two domains simultaneously was immense — something ordinary sorcerers could never endure.
If not for the two Cursed King's Chicken Feet he had eaten, he would have been completely drained dry long ago.
"Shinji-senpai~ Where's the enemy?! Leave it to me this time — Tobi will protect everyone!"
The moment he stepped back into the real world, Shinji found Tobi striking exaggerated martial arts poses in front of him, even though his legs were visibly shaking.
A vein throbbed on Shinji's forehead. With a straight face, he teased: "He'll be out any second now. I'm no match for him, so I'll leave everything to you, Tobi!"
"Leave it all to me, Shinji-senpai!"
"Then why are you running so far away?!"
"This is my new secret technique — Come Get Me If You Dare!"
Tobi hid behind a large rock and waved his fingers mockingly from a safe distance.
He was clearly useless in any real crisis, ready to flee faster than anyone else the moment things went wrong.
"You really killed him?"
Hidan had already spotted the remains on the ground and asked in surprise.
"Yep. Tough as he was, he still fell short compared to me — the strongest in the entire ninja world. I wanted to give you both a chance to get your revenge, but I may have hit him a little too hard and finished him off right away. My bad."
SNAP!
The veins on Hidan's temple bulged like a grid. He ground his teeth so hard they nearly cracked.
Strongest in the ninja world?!
What shameless nonsense!
But since he could not beat Shinji in a fight, he had no way to retort — leaving him fuming in silence.
Of course, if Hidan could see the corpse, there was no way Tobi hadn't noticed it too. That idiot was just pretending for fun from the start!
Once they got back, Shinji was definitely going to give him a proper lesson and teach him why flowers bloomed so brightly!
"And the people?" Shinji asked.
Hidan knew exactly who he meant. "They were nothing but a nuisance, so I chased them all out."
"Good. I thought for sure you would have just slaughtered them all."
"I almost did."
