Instant Kill

He knew—now was the time for him to act. Now was the time for Uchiha Yue to die!

He would use ultimate power beyond the imagination of this world's natives to utterly blast Uchiha Yue to death!

To seize those eyes, already equivalent to a miniature Divine Tree fruit, and devour them!!!

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki lifted his head. Because of this domain's energy-absorption properties, he couldn't sense Uchiha Yue's location—but it didn't matter. If Uchiha Yue's Dead Silence Domain had expanded to half a planet's size, he might have needed to find a way to escape.

But now, covering only this small a range, he didn't take it seriously. Like an adult beating an infant, he would ruthlessly crush Uchiha Yue before he could grow, killing him outright!

Boom!

The next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from Jigen's body. The Karma within him began to release, surging forth with overwhelming power that surpassed the limits of this world's natives.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki flew into the air. After releasing sixty percent of his power, he could now perceive Uchiha Yue's location.

"Uchiha Yue, your life is over. Die!"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki shot toward Uchiha Yue like a meteor, aiming for a quick resolution. He was confident he could end the battle in seconds and restore this world to its former peace.

To be honest, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki didn't want to act. For him, no matter what changes occurred in the Ninja World—even if the world were destroyed under normal circumstances—he might not intervene, because it could expose his existence.

After all, that bitch Kaguya Ōtsutsuki wasn't dead yet, merely sealed.

But that was under normal circumstances. The current situation was clearly abnormal. In his judgment, the lowly creatures of the Ninja World had no way to deal with Uchiha Yue, a monster who had awakened the Divine Tree's fundamental abilities.

From the moment he awakened those Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Yue could no longer be called a human—he should be called a god. The only thing Ōtsutsuki Isshiki couldn't determine was whether Uchiha Yue's awakened abilities had growth potential. Not the kind of growth that simply expanded the Dead Silence Domain until it covered the globe.

But true growth—the ability to absorb energy and strengthen one's own life essence. If it was the latter, then the value of Uchiha Yue's eyes would directly surpass the source of his bloodline. Even if it cost him half his life, he would kill Uchiha Yue and turn those eyes into his own power.

But regardless of whether there was true growth potential, Uchiha Yue was already doomed. Having grown for only this short time, in Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eyes, he was no match at all. If it weren't for the possibility that Uchiha Yue's power, once matured, could kill him, he wouldn't even bother to act.

Inside the Dead Silence Domain.

Uchiha Yue floated silently at the domain's center, eyes closed in slumber. Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open, those crimson orbs staring coldly at a certain spot.

Boom!

The colossal god suspended in the sky suddenly raised its hand. A violent explosion erupted on its palm, and the Susanoo's arm shattered like tofu. A white figure, like a bolt of white lightning, carrying an unstoppable momentum, broke through the smoke and slammed into the Susanoo's chest.

"ORA! ORA! ORA!!!! Uchiha Yue, die!"

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of punches landed, shattering the giant god's chest and exposing Uchiha Yue's body beneath Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's fists.

A storm of fist shadows rained down on Uchiha Yue. Just as they were about to strike his body and crush it—

Uchiha Yue's hands turned into blurs, clashing wildly with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

In an instant, Uchiha Yue's hands were pulverized into bloody mush. His body was directly blown apart, killed on the spot.

Although Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's every strike had some of its kinetic energy and Chakra absorbed by Uchiha Yue, it was useless. Even the residual power, stacked across tens of thousands of punches, was enough to take Uchiha Yue's life.

In terms of pure strength, Uchiha Yue was utterly no match for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. But that wasn't because Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was too strong—it was because Uchiha Yue hadn't had enough time to grow. Only a little over ten days had passed since the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre—not even a full month.

Moreover, despite the vast size of Uchiha Yue's domain, part of it was illusory. The reason it was so expansive was due to the existence of the Energy Ring, a divine artifact. He sacrificed the ability to move freely in exchange for a massive boost in energy absorption rate.

Strong!

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki picked up Uchiha Yue's head, directly gouged out those eyes, and crushed the skull to pieces, evaluating inwardly. Although he had killed Uchiha Yue with ease, it came at a cost. Upon entering this Dead Silence Domain, he had already released seventy percent of his power.

Such strength had long surpassed the upper limit of all native ninja in the entire Ninja World. Against an Uchiha Yue who, not long ago, couldn't even refine Chakra and had only grown for a little over ten days—if he couldn't kill him with overwhelming force, then he didn't deserve to be called Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. He might as well find a rope and hang himself.

If any other ninja from the Ninja World had been in that position, they would have been reduced to dust in an instant.

Not like Uchiha Yue. That bastard had actually been able to react and trade blows with him. Even the feel of his fists landing on Uchiha Yue's body was off. If other ninja were like tofu, crumbling at a touch, then Uchiha Yue felt like lightweight wood. If his power hadn't been great enough, killing Uchiha Yue wouldn't have been so easy.

"Indeed, my choice was right. If I had waited longer, until Uchiha Yue fully matured, even if I released all my power and fought him with the resolve to die, in the end, I would have been the one to lose... Good thing..."

A trace of relief flickered across Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face. Good thing he had been decisive enough.
