Madara stared at the staff in his hand, a thoughtful glint flashing through his eyes.
Although this staff was formed from a Truth-Seeking Orb, it had been easily broken during his earlier clash with Yanshi in his physical form.
Yet when Yanshi released intense heat in his flame form, the staff had not melted.
As Madara examined the staff, Yanshi silently watched him as well.
Experts of the Star Law Heavenly Order usually possessed relatively singular abilities, their defining trait being immense combat power.
However, this also left them somewhat lacking in adaptability.
As a battle-type Star God, Izanami Battle Command's descendant Kaguya had naturally inherited his tremendous combat potential.
If Kaguya could be turned into a fruit, it would undoubtedly quickly make up for the Star Law Heavenly Order's weakness in adaptability.
Yanshi's exchange with Madara was also meant to determine how much control Madara had over the abilities of the Withering line.
However, although Madara was Kaguya's descendant, his abilities had undergone enormous changes.
As for the reason behind it, no one had been able to discover it to this day.
At least so far, Madara had never displayed the power of withering that Kaguya possessed.

To kill a Kekkei Mōra, one had to find their weakness.
Madara summoned all his Truth-Seeking Orbs once more, his face brimming with fighting spirit!

In less than ten seconds, the Eye of the Moon between Madara's brows slowly opened once again.
This sight made Yanshi frown. He realized that this battle would likely not end so easily; it might become a long and grueling war of attrition.
Meanwhile, within the Primordial Sphere Space.
