"What the hell?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing the words of the Demon Mother Tree.
Could this really be true? Aside from Ancient Weapons, nothing could truly harm the Demon Mother Tree?
In other words, no matter how they attacked it, the Demon Mother Tree could recover in the blink of an eye.
This was practically cheating!
How utterly broken! How were they supposed to fight this?!
After the initial shock, Roger and the others grew even more curious about what Lin Xuan would do next.
However, to everyone's surprise, after hearing the Demon Mother Tree's declaration, Lin Xuan showed no signs of disappointment, despair, disbelief, or contempt.
Instead, he suddenly sighed and muttered to himself, "What a hassle. Do I need to open the final Gate of Death? Forget it. Opening that gate is troublesome, and I'd probably have to spend some Reputation Points to restore my body afterward. That wouldn't be cost-effective!" After saying this, he turned his head towards Uchiha Madara and the others. "Madara, are you guys ready yet? If you don't make your move soon, I might just end up killing it for real!"
Uchiha Madara and his group had been gathered together on the sea's surface ever since Lin Xuan began his attack, seemingly preparing something.
Hearing Lin Xuan's question, Uchiha Madara snorted coldly. "It's ready. Now, just watch how we make it dance!"
At that moment, Uchiha Obito spoke up. "Guild Master, I need to tell you something. This guy Madara has been saying all along that we can't let you hog all the glory and show off by yourself. He kept rushing us, causing us to mess up several times. That's why it took so long!"
Uchiha Madara's face darkened, and he shot a threatening glare at Uchiha Obito.
However, Obito paid no mind to the menacing look and continued with a grin. "Guild Master, you should keep an eye on this kind of guy. Don't let him affect the others. It'd be best to just release his Edo Tensei right now!"
"Obito, you better shut up!" Uchiha Madara's eyes seemed ready to kill.
If Lin Xuan really released his Edo Tensei, wouldn't he be sent back to the Pure Land? How could he continue his training and his dance then?
He knew exactly what that bastard Obito was scheming. If his Edo Tensei was released, Obito could seize the chance to surpass him in strength!
Hearing this, Lin Xuan was both amused and exasperated.
He never expected Obito to learn how to tattle!
"Since you're ready, I'll leave the rest to you. I was just getting... ahem, I mean, I should give you guys a chance to perform, right?"
Lin Xuan coughed lightly mid-sentence, almost admitting he was getting tired of fighting the Demon Mother Tree.
Then, he directly returned to Uchiha Madara's side, giving them a look that said "perform well."
Uchiha Madara immediately rolled his eyes at him.
Did this guy really think he couldn't see through his act?
But he didn't say anything more, because he genuinely wanted to fight the Demon Mother Tree himself.
Just then, seeing Lin Xuan move away, the Demon Mother Tree thought he was trying to escape. Instantly, countless vines surged towards them, attempting to stop him!
"Hmph, let's move!"
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly and directly activated his Six Paths Mode.
The auras of Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Obito, and the others interconnected with Madara's, then transformed into streams of light that merged into Uchiha Madara's body.
In an instant, the aura around Uchiha Madara rapidly intensified, the power within him undergoing a transformation, soaring swiftly.
"Boom!"
With a casual wave of his hand, Uchiha Madara reduced the attacking vines to dust.
"Whoa, they fused?" Lin Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
He was genuinely shocked. Earlier, Uchiha Madara had told him they needed time to prepare a move capable of dealing with the Demon Mother Tree and asked him to stall it. Lin Xuan had been very curious about what that move would be.
This technique felt somewhat similar to the fusion of Super Saiyans from the Dragon Ball world, but Lin Xuan knew there couldn't be a connection, as Super Saiyans hadn't appeared in this timeline yet.
So, this was probably a result of Uchiha Madara and the others tinkering around during their training on Namek.
At that moment, a head suddenly popped out from Uchiha Madara's back, startling Lin Xuan.
Looking closely, it was actually Uchiha Obito's head.
"Guild Master, this is a new ability of the Rinnegan that Madara here researched. It allows him to channel all of our power into himself. The only annoying part is that the main body has to be this guy!" Uchiha Obito explained.
"Obito, you're getting more and more insolent!"
Uchiha Madara's face darkened again as he forcefully shoved Obito's head back in.
Lin Xuan could only chuckle wryly.
He felt that ever since Rin Nohara was reanimated by Edo Tensei, Obito's personality had gradually reverted to his childhood mischievousness, becoming more and more impish!
But,it had to be said—, the pressure emanating from Uchiha Madara's current aura was something even Lin Xuan found somewhat daunting.
"Quite an interesting technique!" Lin Xuan remarked with keen interest.
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly and said calmly, "Now, watch how I make this thing dance!" As his words fell, his figure vanished, reappearing right beside the Demon Mother Tree as he launched his attack.
