Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fire, wind, and lightning ran rampant in all directions. The black Amaterasu flames burned silently, reducing everything they touched to ashes.
Uchiha Kenta's "Divine Expulsion" was indeed troublesome. That formless spatial repulsion field could not only be used for defense but also for attack and movement, making it impossible to guard against.
Several times, Sora's attacks seemed on the verge of hitting, only to be deflected by a suddenly appearing repulsion field.
And the Amaterasu flames were like maggots in the bone—once they latched on, they were extremely troublesome to deal with.
*Ssss!*
A moment of failed evasion, and a wisp of black flame ignited the sleeve of Sora's left arm.
His eyes turned sharp. His right hand formed a blade, and he directly severed the burning part of his left arm at the shoulder!
*Thud!*
A severed arm covered in dragon scales fell to the ground, instantly devoured completely by the black flames.
"Brother! He..."
Uchiha Yami's heart tightened seeing this.
"Useless! My Amaterasu is an inextinguishable flame! It will never disappear unless its target is completely burned to nothing!"
A hint of satisfaction appeared on Uchiha Kenta's face. "Severing an arm to survive? Let's see how many limbs you have to sacrifice!"
However, the smile on his face froze the next second.
Where Sora's arm had been severed, flesh and blood began to churn madly. Cyan-gold light flickered. Bone, meridians, muscle, skin, and dragon scales regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In just a few breaths, a brand new, completely intact arm had regrown!
"What?!"
The faces of the Uchiha siblings changed simultaneously.
This level of recovery was practically on par with the legendary First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!
'Indeed, the recovery of a Mythical Zoan animal-type is just that absurd. As long as it's not an instantly fatal injury or a sealing, it's practically an immortal body,' Sora thought to himself. This was within his calculations. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used this injury-for-injury fighting style.
"Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Uchiha Kenta roared in fury. The bloody tears from his eyes flowed even more fiercely.
"Amaterasu! Amaterasu! Amaterasu!"
More black flames ignited around Sora, almost completely surrounding him.
"Useless."
Sora snorted coldly, erupting with his fruit ability!
"Boro Breath!"
Blazing white, high-temperature flames erupted violently outward from his center!
*Ssss ssss—!*
The black Amaterasu flames and the white Boro Breath fire collided madly.
Although Amaterasu seemed superior in terms of rules, Sora's Boro Breath held absolute advantage in sheer volume and instantaneous explosive force. It forcefully scattered all the surrounding black flames!
Waves of high-temperature air swept outward, making even Uchiha Yami in the distance feel stifled.
"Brother, the power of his ninjutsu is too great! We can't trade blows with him!"
Uchiha Kenta realized this too. His eyes had already begun to send intense, throbbing pain signals after continuous use of Mangekyō pupil techniques. His chakra consumption was also massive.
Yet his opponent seemed like a bottomless pit, casually unleashing various powerful "ninjutsu" with absurdly strong recovery.
He couldn't drag this out any longer!
"Yami! Use that!"
Uchiha Kenta snarled.
Uchiha Yami understood her brother's meaning instantly, a flash of resolve passing through her eyes.
The siblings simultaneously pushed the pupil power of their Mangekyō Sharingan to the limit!
*Hum—!*
Vast amounts of chakra surged from their bodies. Accompanied by the sound of bones forming, two gigantic energy skeletons materialized out of thin air, enveloping each of them!
Susano'o! First appearance!
Uchiha Kenta's Susano'o manifested a dark red color. Beyond the skeleton, meridians and flesh began to cover it, faintly exuding a violent aggression.
Uchiha Yami's Susano'o was a light green, its form relatively softer, emanating an aura of life and protection.
Although both were only in their initial stages, their massive size and condensed chakra already brought immense pressure!
"Oh? Finally willing to use this move?"
A flash of gravity passed through Sora's eyes. "The legendary power of the gods, Susano'o."
Susano'o was a significant hallmark of the Mangekyō Sharingan, possessing extremely strong offensive and defensive capabilities.
"Die! Sora!"
Uchiha Kenta roared. The dark red skeletal Susano'o swung its enormous fist, smashing down towards Sora's head!
Uchiha Yami's light green Susano'o clasped its hands together. A gentle, shimmering light screen spread out, seemingly possessing healing and strengthening effects. As it fell upon the dark red Susano'o, its speed and power increased once more!
"Good timing!"
Sora didn't dodge or evade. The will to fight surged in his eyes.
But he didn't choose to clash head-on again. Instead, his hands flew through a series of hand seals!
"Summoning Jutsu!"
*Poof!*
Tenji's burly figure appeared!
"Tenji! Transform!"
"Understood!"
Tenji let out a low roar, crossed his arms, and his entire body erupted with cyan-gold light!
*Hum—!*
Accompanied by a metallic tremor akin to a dragon's roar, a massive column, dark blue throughout and exuding an ancient, majestic aura, appeared prominently in Sora's hands!
The Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column! Reappears!
Sora gripped the newly acquired Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column tightly with both hands, feeling the bloodline-like resonance emanating from it and the perfect balance of weight—as heavy as a mountain, yet as agile as the heart.
He poured all his strength, completely and unreservedly, madly into the Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column in his hands!
*Hum hum hum—!*
The Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column emitted intense vibrations. Arc after arc of deep blue lightning uncontrollably danced and coiled around the pillar's surface!
"That is... Thunderclap Eight Trigrams?!"
Uchiha Kenta's heart jolted, remembering the legend of Sora clashing with the Third Raikage on the battlefield. He felt a powerful sense of threat!
But the arrow was already on the bowstring; he had to release it!
The giant fist of the dark red Susano'o was already upon him!
"Thunderclap—Eight Trigrams!!"
Sora let out a sky-shaking dragon's roar. His waist twisted violently, the power of his entire body instantly transferring to his arms and pouring into the Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column!
The ground beneath his feet collapsed with a roar. His figure transformed into a cyan streak wrapped in destructive lightning. Instead of retreating, he advanced, meeting the enormous Susano'o fist and fiercely swinging the Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column that had gathered all his power!
***BOOM-CRACK!!!!!!!!!!***
A thunderclap exploded!
The Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column, entwined with lightning, collided fiercely with the dark red Susano'o's fist!
At the center of the collision, a point of extreme white light erupted first, then transformed into a terrifying energy storm that devoured everything!
*Crack!*
Under Uchiha Kenta's incredulous gaze, his Susano'o's incredibly sturdy fist actually shattered inch by inch the moment it made contact with that strange staff!
And the cracks were spreading rapidly, instantly covering the Susano'o's entire right arm!
"Impossible!!"
Uchiha Kenta let out a horrified shriek, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seizing the advantage, Sora showed no mercy. His figure flickered, and the lightning-wrapped Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column swung once more!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Sounds like metal striking metal rang out!
Moving at a speed the Uchiha siblings simply couldn't react to, Sora brandished the Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column, launching a frenzied, tempestuous assault around the two initial-stage Susano'o!
Every strike was powerful and heavy, containing terrifying physical force and the destructive energy of lightning!
Before this absolute power, the initial-stage Susano'o seemed so fragile!
The cracks grew more and more numerous, denser and denser!
