It was not much different from what he remembered. Who would have thought that such a remote and dilapidated temple actually contained a very ominous creature?
Ordinary people can't find this place, let alone break the seal.
"So? Don't you miss this place?"
Orochimaru looked at Yomi in his hand with a mocking expression.
This guy once borrowed the power of the Mōryō and even survived by sheer luck.
For so many years, he has been thinking about reviving the Mōryō, using the Terracotta Army to unify the Ninja World, and restoring the glory of a thousand years ago.
"What... what exactly do you want to do? Isn't there some misunderstanding...!"
Yomi still doesn't understand Orochimaru's purpose; he's completely bewildered throughout.
"Heh heh heh, you'll find out soon enough!"
Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru had already appeared at the temple entrance.
It wasn't until this moment that the four guards who had been stationed here for years realized that someone had intruded.
"Halt! Who are you?"
"Get out of here quickly, or else..."
Orochimaru didn't even glance at the group. He instantly activated his Gravity Field, and the four of them were sent flying backward as if they had been slapped hard in the face.
This is Orochimaru's development of gravity abilities, somewhat similar to Nagato's Shinra Tensei, and also somewhat similar to Six Paths Madara's Limbo: Border Jail.
Dealing with these few lackeys was more than enough, after all, they were just extras who couldn't even beat Yomi's men.
As the Gate of Opening, two rows of orange-yellow flames instantly burst into flame on the walls on either side of the door.
The flames illuminated the dark stone house, but the deeper darkness resembled a gaping maw of an abyss ready to devour its inhabitants!
"Go do what you want! Haven't you always wanted to break the seal? That's my goal too!"
Orochimaru tossed Yomi forward with a "thud," and Yomi, now free, groaned and turned back in disbelief.
When he met Orochimaru's eyes, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, his heart skipped a beat.
"You...!"
Yomi's heart was filled with fear, doubt, and deep-seated resentment.
In the end, he didn't say anything. Regardless of Orochimaru's purpose, he was at Orochimaru's mercy, and his way out was just ahead.
"Once Lord Mōryō is unsealed, I will make him wish he were dead!"
With his last shred of will to live, Yomi staggered toward the depths of the temple.
Orochimaru did not follow him. Only Yomi knew the incantation to break the seal, and it required the combined power of the remaining Mōryō energy within him to completely unseal it.
He just needs to wait quietly; it wouldn't be fun if that guy, Mōryō, didn't dare to come out of the abyss.
Soon, Yomi arrived at the altar at the deepest part of the basement, which was shrouded in a ghostly light.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yomi stepped inside.
"Although the Dark Medical Ninjutsu is not yet fully developed, my body should be able to withstand Mōryō for a short period of time!"
Yomi's fingers trembled slightly as he stroked the sealing talisman imprinted on the stone gate.
Ever since he experienced the power of the Mōryō, he has been obsessed with it and has made unsealing the Mōryō his life goal ever since.
Although the plan was disrupted by Orochimaru's sudden appearance, it only brought it forward a little. Let's deal with the current life-or-death crisis first.
"Lord Mōryō! I've arrived!"
As Yomi uttered a strange and unusual phrase, a trace of dark energy was released from his body.
The stone door shattered instantly! A powerful gust of wind surged out from the door, accompanied by streams of dark red energy.
"Aww..."
The muffled roar seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with negative emotions such as evil, resentment, and unwillingness.
"Lord Mōryō, it's been a long time!"
Yomi immediately knelt on one knee, his expression both respectful and joyful, and said...
The Mōryō is not only his ambition to unify the Ninja World, but also his lifeline at this moment, and he is even more excited than in the original timeline.
"Who are you?"
The Mōryō did not emerge from the sealed stone gate immediately; it was currently only a soul and needed a physical body to roam the world again.
Yomi immediately recounted the cause and effect between himself and Mōryō. After understanding the background, Mōryō lowered his guard.
"Mōryō, my body can serve as your temporary vessel!"
As he spoke, Yomi took out the scalpels from the sides of his clothes and, without hesitation, slashed open his abdomen.
Then, as if tearing off clothes, she peeled back her skin.
The next moment, the Mōryō no longer hesitated and rushed out of the stone gate.
Before Yomi could react, a powerful impact sent Yomi flying backward.
This scene horrified him, but he was already mentally prepared and skillfully stitched up the wound with the scalpel in his hand.
"Hahahaha... The great moment has finally arrived! Rise, undead legion!"
Having merged with the soul of Mōryō, Yomi was now like a madman, his expression twisted and ferocious, and he was extremely arrogant.
As he finished speaking, the entire basement began to tremble.
The next moment, pairs of eerie green eyes lit up in the darkness.
Stone figures resembling Terracotta Army rose from the ground, their figures slightly taller than normal people, all over two meters tall.
The stone armor on its exterior is also in the style of ancient China armor, and when combined with the long spear in its hand, its sheer oppressive presence is intimidating.
"Well done!"
Just as Yomi was basking in the glory of his rebirth, an untimely voice interrupted him.
The faint sound of shoes grinding against pebbles echoed in the basement.
The sound, though not loud, felt like stepping on Yomi's heart, causing him to instinctively take a step back.
Then it suddenly occurred to him that he was no longer the same person he used to be. Now he had merged with the Mōryō, and it could be said that his life had been sublimated.
"Damn it! But I should thank you! You gave me a new life!"
Enraged, Yomi cursed under his breath, but the next moment his mind was completely taken over by the Mōryō.
His expression changed from anger to a wild and twisted rage, his eyes fixed viciously on Orochimaru as he slowly approached.
"You're nothing but an ant! Your soul is a perfect tonic!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of "bang bang" sounds rang out in front of him.
After the smoke cleared, four or five Terracotta Army appeared before him, and more and more terracotta Terracotta Army continued to approach, gradually surrounding Orochimaru.
"Is it to thank the stone golem for giving you the courage to rebel against me?"
Orochimaru tilted his head slightly, looking at Yomi as if she were an idiot, then paused before continuing:
"Or is it that you've been sealed for too long, and while your soul has been unsealed, your mind is still sealed?"
Orochimaru finds this kind of person most speechless; the Tailed Beasts breaks free of its seal and immediately shouts that it wants to destroy the world.
After the Box of Paradise appeared, it also cried out to destroy the world;
Mukade, having obtained the Dragon Vein, also harbored ambitions to unify the Ninja World;
Uchiha Madara, also sought to unify the Ninja World;
How can you guys be so capable? You've just gained a little power and you've already become arrogant. Don't you even know if you have the ability?
"I'll teach you a lesson today! If you keep acting so arrogantly, you'll get beaten to death!"
As he spoke, Orochimaru slowly rose into the air, instantly dodging an attack from a group of the Terracotta Army.
His hands didn't stop moving; after forming more than a dozen complex hand seals, a loud shout echoed through the basement.
"Sealing Jutsu - Reaper Death Seal!"
