The Lord Tensen Arc (島てんせん様編 Tensen-sama-hen?) is the second arc of Jigokuraku. It covers chapters 17 to 59 from volumes 2 to 7.
The arc focuses on the surviving criminals and executioners slowly learning about the history of the island known as Kotaku, as well as unlocking the mysterious power known as Tao. Along the way, they encounter and battle against members of Lord Tensen, seven immortal beings who possess the Elixir of Life and rule over everything on the island. Meanwhile, the shogun becomes impatient of the first group attempting to acquire the elixir and dispatches another group consisting of four Asaemon and shinobi from Iwagakure.
