Buzz!!!
Buzz!
Whoosh!
Two tearing sounds, fast to the extreme, exploded at the same time. The two figures almost made their moves within one-thousandth of a second.
The two Six Paths level divine weapons faced each other from afar.
In the next second, they slammed fiercely into each other.
There were no fancy moves at all. It was purely the ultimate clash of speed, strength, and will. In just an instant, the two had already exchanged tens of thousands of blows.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The loud ringing of the divine weapons colliding continued without end, shaking the sky and earth until they hummed and trembled.
The two figures were like two streams of light, constantly crossing and fighting in midair. The Six Paths Sword and the Ama-no-hoko crazily bombarded each other.
Every collision burst out with blinding energy shockwaves. The overwhelming force seemed ready to tear the entire sky apart.
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
Two furious shouts that shook the clouds rang out at the same time. A chakra storm swept in all directions.
Below, Indra and Asura looked up at the fierce battle high in the sky, their eyes wide open, faces full of disbelief and shock.
The two of them used everything they had learned, yet realized that the battle before them had already gone beyond understanding.
There were no large-scale world-destroying techniques in this fight, but the pure intensity of combat power was terrifying beyond words.
Susanoo in front of these two was like a plastic bag.
The Thousand-Armed Buddha in front of these two was like a speed bump.
High above at ten thousand meters, violent air currents were stirred endlessly by the force of battle. The gazes of Arisu and Hagoromo collided countless times in flashes of lightning.
Hagoromo's heart churned. He had lived for long years, understood the limits of the living beings on this planet, knew clearly the ceiling of power in this world.
But the Arisu before him had completely shattered all his understanding.
"Master! Just what kind of person are you! Based on the limit of living beings on this planet, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to reach your level!", Hagoromo gripped the Ama-no-hoko tightly and asked in shock.
He had lived for hundreds of years, seen countless strong people, yet had never seen someone as outrageous as Arisu.
Living long was one thing, but his power was also that terrifying.
"Hehe, these thousands of years of skill of mine, how could a little kid like you shake it?", Arisu was still calm and relaxed, a faint smile curling at his lips.
The Six Paths Sword in his hand looked like it was swung slowly, yet it always precisely blocked every heavy strike from Hagoromo.
Arisu sneered inwardly.
He was a demon from beyond the domain. How could his training foundation be compared to the living beings of this planet?
They were not even in the same dimension.
The battle between the two grew fiercer and fiercer. The battlefield kept rising upward until they were fighting at ten thousand meters in the sky.
Both of them understood each other. Neither wanted a battle of this level to affect the mortals and living beings below.
With unspoken agreement, they completely moved the battlefield far into the high sky.
At the same time, on the distant moon, Otsutsuki Hamura and his disciples were observing the shocking battle on the surface of the Earth.
"What the... Grandfather! What on earth is happening over there? That fluctuation of power is way too terrifying!"
An old man with white hair and beard stared at the fluctuations on Earth's surface and spoke with a serious expression.
Otsutsuki Hamura, already old and weak, walking with a cane, looked at the movements on Earth.
A trace of shock flashed in his cloudy eyes.
Yet Hamura still waved his hand calmly, his voice steady, "Don't worry. On Earth, there is Sage Arisu and my elder brother Hagoromo guarding it. With the two of them protecting Earth, everything can be completely at ease!"
After saying this, Hamura clasped his hands behind his back and slowly turned to leave, leaving his disciples looking at each other.
"Yes."
The group scratched their heads. In the end, they felt relieved and dispersed without saying more.
"Hah!!!!"
A furious shout that shook the heavens exploded. The Six Paths Sword and the Ama-no-hoko slammed into each other once again.
Purple-gold and dark-black divine light collided wildly. Even space was crushed into fine cracks.
At this moment, Arisu's pupils suddenly shrank. A real shock flashed through his heart.
The Ama-no-hoko and the Six Paths Sword were divine weapons that directly connected to the heart and carried will. The stronger the holder's will, the more terrifying the power the weapon released.
And at that instant of collision, Arisu clearly felt the will inside Hagoromo, heavy like ancient bedrock, unshakable. It was a heart of great love that embraced all things in the world and protected all living beings.
Hagoromo truly had great love.
"Hagoromo, it seems you truly have great love…" Arisu sighed softly, his tone carrying a bit of emotion.
Across from him, veins bulged on Hagoromo's arms as he desperately held up the Ama-no-hoko to resist the overwhelming force of the Six Paths Sword. It became more and more difficult.
"Master, your power is truly unfathomable.", Hagoromo gritted his teeth.
Arisu still looked calm on the surface, but inwardly he clicked his tongue. This Otsutsuki Hagoromo truly was a camel bigger than a horse even when dying.
He had already passed part of his power to Asura, was old and far from his peak, yet he could still forcibly withstand Arisu's attacks.
"This needs to end quickly."
Arisu thought to himself. If it dragged on, it would inevitably affect the outside world. He immediately stopped holding back. Sage chakra around him burst out.
"Sage Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Arisu's figure instantly split into five.
Five identical figures formed a surrounding formation, trapping Hagoromo firmly in the center.
"Sage Art: Five Sage Continuous Barrage!"
The five figures shouted at the same time, each activating five great sage powers originating from Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest, Yata, and Enma.
Five completely different world-destroying sage killing moves.
Carrying hundreds of years of accumulated sage power, they bombarded toward Hagoromo.
How terrifying was the sage power Arisu had accumulated for hundreds of years?
Now fully unleashed, its might almost reached the level of recreating earth, water, fire, and wind, annihilating all things.
Hagoromo looked at the five-colored flood of sage techniques rushing toward him. His face changed instantly.
This vast and endless sage energy was enough to crush any tangible thing into dust.
"Rinnegan absorption!"
Hagoromo's mind was clear. Forcibly absorbing sage energy would cause the sage chakra to go out of control and make his body explode, but to protect the living beings below, he had no other choice.
At the same time, the Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind Hagoromo suddenly shot out. Black Yin-Yang Release chakra spread like a curtain of heaven, instantly forming an indestructible barrier.
It sealed off the entire battlefield tightly, not allowing even a bit of the explosion's aftermath to leak out and harm the living beings on the ground.
Then, with a thought from Hagoromo, the last remaining Truth-Seeking Ball began to expand.
"Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball!"
It appeared.
A move once used by Kaguya, though she had been stopped. Now Hagoromo recreated that move.
Even though Hagoromo could not reach the level of Mother Kaguya.
"With this, even if Master does not die, he will be heavily injured. At that time, it can only be left to Asura… helpless. Master's blockade is too strong. I cannot contact Hamura on the moon at all…"
A tear flowed from Hagoromo's eye.
"Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball?"
The moment Arisu saw it, he understood what Hagoromo intended to do.
BOOM!!!
A loud explosion instantly turned the entire night into daylight.
At this moment, everyone were silent.
The Anbu said: Hagoromo won.
The Kage level said: Arisu won.
(And the author said: I am about to start winning by hand.)
