Just Entering the Six Paths Level? That Still Wasn't Enough

As he lowered his body and bent his arms in defense, Madara felt a tremendous force suddenly strike him.

Without any room to struggle, his body shot out like a cannonball, hurtling into the distance amidst the surging waves.

Water Release: Water Fang: Hundred Dragon Rampage!

Taking advantage of the terrain, the S-Rank Water Release the land like a vast, rolling river, its endless fangs aiming to tear the enemy's body apart.

"Boring." Cixian raised his palm, and the Diamond Mark shimmered with an eerie light.

The seemingly invincible Hundred Dragon Fangs, upon contact with the mark, instantly transformed into pure Chakra and were absorbed by the enemy.

One of the basic abilities of the "Karma" seal is the absorption of Ninjutsu.

"Knowing my abilities, yet still using Ninjutsu against me, which means..."

The moment the hundred dragons vanished, Kyosuke's figure was already close in front of him.

Holding a black Sage's Staff, he swung his arm and forcefully struck the enemy's head.

"There must be a trap." A golden light flashed in Cixian's pupils, and he activated the Sukunahikona, instantly shrinking the Monk to a size that even the Eternal Eye could not detect.

The Sage's Staff that the opponent was wielding naturally...

Just as they were thinking about their next attack steps, suddenly, the staff formed from the Truth-Seeking Orb transformed into an object resembling a frying pan.

With a bang, a powerful home run was hit.

"Bastard." Blood kept spurting from the corner of his mouth. Ci Xian's eyes flashed with anger, and he finally abandoned his previous nonchalance.

In fact, the Truth-Seeking Orb cannot cause any particular harm to his body.

In his prime, this attack would be nothing, but he was currently using the body of "Ci Xian".

If a few more hits like that happen, the situation will really get worse.

Controlling his constantly flying body, a glint flashed in his eyes, and a huge dark red cube suddenly appeared out of thin air above Kyosuke's head.

Dojutsu, Daikokuten!

Daikokuten, originating from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's ability, can store shrunken objects in a time-frozen Alternate Dimension, and can also instantly summon objects from that dimension at any time.

What may seem like an ordinary ability can often produce astonishing results when combined with another Dojutsu that allows for arbitrary shrinking.

This enormous cube, with a diameter exceeding ten meters, possesses a terrifying weight comparable to a mountain; no one in the world can lift it from the bottom.

Boom!

As the cube crashed down, a mocking smile crept across Cixian's lips.

Just then...

Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame!

A vast sea of fire engulfed the heavens and the earth, its coverage so immense that it gave the enemy no chance to dodge.

Of course, Cixian didn't need to hide.

Just as he began absorbing the Ninjutsu, his temple throbbed, and a bad premonition welled up inside him.

"Found you." Sensing the flames that had suddenly vanished, Madara laughed wildly. The blue Susanoo stood on the sea surface, Sea-Splitting Sword Strike, he slashed towards the enemy's location.

Knowing something was wrong, Jigen could only revert to his original size, wielding long Black Rods in both hands, and managed to withstand Madara's ferocious slashes.

At the same time, a Kunai quietly inserted behind him, and the next second, a figure engulfed in blue steam appeared.

Eight Gates Released Formation, Seventh Gate of Wonder... Open!!!

In terms of practical effectiveness, the Eight Gates Released Formation is actually less useful than Sage Mode.

However, against enemies who can absorb Chakra, the Eight Gates, which amplify Taijutsu, are still more useful.

At this moment, Kyosuke's physical abilities have already reached the peak of the Super Kage level.

If Cixian were to take a punch head-on, even if he weren't seriously injured, it would at least accelerate his physical decline.

"Not bad, you haven't disappointed your fancy but empty reputation." In this moment of crisis, Cixian regained his initial composure.

Just a second before the punch landed, Diamond Mark suddenly spread wildly across the body's surface.

Wedge, Stage One!

The level of power increase is at the initial stage of the Six Paths!

With his left hand parrying Susanoo's Sea-Splitting Sword Strike and his right hand withstanding Seventh Gate Kyosuke's full-force attack, Jigen remained completely still, only a faint, indifferent coldness appearing on his face.

"I remember telling you this..."

"You don't have much time left."

Before Kyosuke could retreat, several Black Rods suddenly pierced through his body.

The most dangerous one was only inches away from his heart.

"Wow!" Blood gushed from his mouth. Even with his Advanced Sage Body, he couldn't break through the Chakra blockade of the Yin–Yang Release Black Rod for a while.

"It's a pity, you had the opportunity to come into contact with eternity." With a gentle wave of his hand, the attack, which even the Sharingan couldn't detect, struck again.

Without the ability to gather Chakra, Kyosuke couldn't even maintain his Mangekyou Mangekyō, let alone the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Even a few seconds is enough for the enemy to kill him many times over.

"Contact with eternity?" The blood gushing from his mouth could not conceal the mockery in Kyosuke's eyes.

"To exist like a piece of earwax for a thousand years, is that what you call eternal life?"

"I'm really sorry, but I'm not particularly interested."

The Cursed Seal on his shoulder was released, and pure Senjutsu Chakra enveloped his entire body.

Unable to gather Chakra?

It's alright. The converted Senjutsu Chakra has already been stored in his Cursed Seal, and it can be unlocked automatically with just a thought.

Ding ding ding!

A barely perceptible cracking sound rang out, and the enemy's deadly attack was completely deflected. His body broke through the obstruction and regained the ability to gather Chakra.

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated, the Reversal Dojutsu was applied, and the tiny Black Rods that had burrowed into the body flowed backward in time, returning to its state before the attack.

Kyosuke activated his left Dojutsu, "Finality," and attached a powerful Time Barrier to his body.

At this moment, nothing could touch his body.

If other types of attacks were used, the effect of Finality might not be as powerful.

Interestingly, the Black Rods that Jigen shrunk wasn't actually that outrageous in mass; it was simply in a state affected by his Dojutsu.

For at least a while, he won't have to worry about attacks from "Sukunahikona".

Amidst the earth-shaking roars, Kyosuke ignored the enemy's attacks and charged towards the Monk in a reckless manner.

Um?

What's going on?!

Cixian was shocked; how could his attack have failed?

"Is this your eye power?" He looked somewhat shocked.

How could a Sharingan possibly awaken a rule-based Dojutsu?

Even though it was only a fleeting moment of contact, Cixian still keenly sensed the unusual change in time.

Such astonishing ability reminded him of a terrifying being within his clan.

"Don't make a fuss." Kyosuke quickly arrived in front of the Monk. The tiny Black Rods that appeared along the way at most only weakened his eye power and did not cause any real or effective damage.

Ignoring the enemy's instantaneous shrinking size, he took a deep breath and unleashed an incredibly ferocious punch. The air pressure was continuously compressed under the power of his fist, eventually forming a white tiger shaped like an air cannon.

Daytime Tiger!

There's no need to search for the enemy, nor to observe them.

The Day Tiger's attack range was very wide, and in a short moment, Cixian had no time to escape the blast radius.

Almost instinctively, he activated the Karma's power, but the White-Robed Monk quickly discovered that he was unable to absorb the white tiger before him.

"This... this isn't an attack formed from Chakra?!"

The violent impact and shock completely engulfed his figure.
