Future Yuji Itadori Joins the Chat Group Chapter 55: Domain Expansion? No, You Won't Get the Chance

Black Cursed Energy surged.

Yuji Itadori's fist, imbued with Black Flash, had already connected with Sukuna's body.

The point where the fist t Sukuna's flesh beca the center of a distortion in space itself.

Sukuna's expression froze in that fra of wild laughter.

His four eyes widened simultaneously to their limit, the bloodlust in his pupils replaced by a deeper shade—an incomprehensible, cognitive-defying blankness.

Particularly the force applied by Yuji Itadori's fist.

In the next instant, he plumted like a teorite, smashing through several floors before finally landing on the bottom-most ground, creating a giant crater over ten ters in diater.

Pain.

For the first ti in a thousand years, Sukuna felt pain.

The intense agony felt as if every bone in his body had been crushed into powder.

Sukuna had not expected that the Yuji Itadori from the future would possess such terrifying power—

Beneath the pain was an uncontrollable, irrepressible rage.

Sukuna simply could not accept that he would feel pain from this brat's punch.

When fighting other powerful figures, Sukuna would maintain his poise, even occasionally affirming or appreciating the opponent's moves or strategies.

But fundantally, that was the arrogance of a superior being.

Once he encountered an enemy truly capable of suppressing him, Sukuna's mask would be completely torn away.

Furthermore, standing before him at this mont was the existence he loathed most.

Yuji Itadori.

Especially now, as Yuji Itadori stood at a higher vantage point, looking down on him.

That face held no expression whatsoever.

"You damned brat!"

Sukuna shouted through gritted teeth, spitting out blood as he imdiately activated Reverse Cursed Technique for Healing his body.

However, he quickly realized sothing was wrong—

The efficiency of the Reverse Cursed Technique had been significantly compromised.

Although his injuries were healed in a short ti, it was far below Sukuna's expectations.

What exactly was going on?

While Sukuna was confused, a strong sense of discomfort rose from his abdon.

He hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, forcibly swallowing back the Fingers he had almost vomited out.

'Can this guy launch attacks at the connection of the soul?!'

Sukuna was shocked, having never imagined that the Yuji Itadori before him could achieve such a thing.

Was this guy and his current Vessel truly the sa person?

Young Itadori was clearly a weak, foolish brat; how on earth did he beco like this?!

In the instant Sukuna dithered, a black figure darted like lightning, arriving before him in a heartbeat.

Yuji Itadori.

His face remained devoid of any emotional ripples, but the fist in his hand was already aid at Sukuna, smashing down directly!

"You brat!?"

Sukuna narrowly dodged the attack at top speed, but the massive concussive force sent him flying several ters in a pathetic state—

Yuji Itadori's fist smashed a massive hole in the ground, cracks spreading outward like countless pythons in an instant!

Using the montum of the impact, Sukuna adjusted his posture in mid-air and leaped high, looking down at Yuji Itadori.

Simply being looked down upon by Yuji Itadori filled his heart with imnse loathing and irritation.

At this mont, Sukuna's hands had already begun forming hand signs.

He knew very well that his current Dismantle had no way to break through Yuji Itadori's defense.

That guy had actually used Slashing Attacks to such an extent; it was sowhat similar to that annoying Jujutsu Sorcerer who wore a blindfold.

However—

Since the Cursed Technique couldn't hit, he had no choice but to use that move!

"Brat, I'll begrudgingly admit that compared to the present you, you've indeed grown! But it ends here!"

Sukuna's face wore a wild laugh, his hands brought together with middle and index fingers rged.

"Domain—"

Inside a Domain, a Cursed Technique is granted a guaranteed hit effect. Within Malevolent Shrine, Cleave and Dismantle would relentlessly rain down upon the target; thus, the Barrier created by Yuji Itadori's Slashing Attacks would collapse on its own!

Watching Sukuna about to activate his Domain, Yuji Itadori rely looked up slightly.

He rembered the first ti he saw a Domain; it was when Satoru Gojo was fighting the Cursed Spirit nad Jogo.

At that ti, Gojo-sensei specifically brought him to the scene to observe.

He told him there were three ways to deal with a Domain.

The first was to use a Cursed Technique for defense.

Techniques within a Domain are granted a guaranteed hit effect, sothing even Satoru Gojo's Limitless Technique cannot neutralize.

However, Yuji Itadori's defense was not the sa as Satoru Gojo's Limitless Technique.

Satoru Gojo's Infinity is the neutral application of Limitless that creates a convergence point of imasurable series — in other words, an infinite distance, making it so the enemy's attacks cannot reach him.

Although Yuji Itadori had created his own version of 'Infinity', it was entirely different from Gojo's technique.

Satoru Gojo's was 'unable to hit', while Yuji Itadori's was 'shredding'.

This ant Yuji Itadori could still rely on this layer of defense to withstand the attacks within Sukuna's Domain.

The second thod was to escape the Domain, but once a Domain Expansion is deployed, doing so is nearly impossible.

And the third thod was to use a Domain himself, turning it into a pure clash of Domains between both sides.

Previously in Shinjuku, when Satoru Gojo and Sukuna had their final showdown, they engaged in a life-and-death Domain battle—

However, Yuji Itadori did not intend to use any of the above thods.

The shortest duration for a Domain is 0.2 seconds.

The ti it takes to cast a Domain Expansion might be even shorter.

To react purely by the naked eye is sothing likely impossible unless one possesses a Heavenly Restriction.

But, if one can predict the opponent is about to expand their Domain, or feel the surge of Cursed Energy in advance, one can counter it early.

"Gojo-sensei, to deal with a Domain, there's a fourth thod," Yuji Itadori murmured to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"And that is to interrupt it at the exact mont the opponent casts the Domain—"

Right now, less than 0.1 seconds had passed since Sukuna began his hand signs.

Dismantle.

"—Expansion: Malevolent Shrine."

At this very mont, Sukuna was preparing to deploy his Domain for the attack.

But his expression froze instantly.

He could clearly feel that the activation of the Domain had failed.

Bloodlines surfaced at the wrists of both his hands—

In the next instant, his palms were separated from his arms.

Without the ability to form hand signs, a Domain Expansion naturally could not be cast.

Even Sukuna, at this mont, subconsciously wore a look of disbelief on his face.
