It fell toward the figure at the center of the vortex with a speed no slower than rushing thunder.
At the bottom of the lake, Uchiha Kosuke, who had been sitting cross-legged as though fused with the God Tree's roots, moved.
He did not even open his tightly shut eyes.
Facing the terrifying Lightning Tribulation that could tear apart an island and completely erase a Tailed Beast, he merely raised his right hand.
No hand seals, no roar, no sign of any eruption of energy.
An invisible, vast force suddenly spread outward from his palm!
Boom—!!!
A thick pillar of dazzling violet lightning, carrying berserk energy capable of destroying heaven and earth, slammed squarely into Uchiha Kosuke's raised palm!
Time at the bottom of the lake seemed to freeze for an instant.
The anticipated earth-shattering explosion and scene of flesh flying everywhere did not occur.
The violent lightning, powerful enough to destroy everything, was forcibly restrained, tamed, and compressed by an incomprehensible force the instant it touched Uchiha Kosuke's palm.
The remaining tribulation lightning traveled down his arm, crazily tearing apart his clothes.
A blazing white lightning sphere condensed in Uchiha Kosuke's palm.
Feeling the destruction-filled lightning sphere, alive with the hissing of countless tiny Lightning Serpents, he abruptly opened his eyes and revealed a satisfied smile.
However, that action completely enraged the Tribulation Cloud above.
The Tribulation Cloud immediately poured the violent energy contained within its layers down upon the smiling living being below.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was not the slightest interval between them.
The berserk Lightning Tribulation poured down like the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven, turning into an endless waterfall of lightning that continuously bombarded the center of the lake.
Boom!
Crack—!
The deafening thunder instantly drowned out the entire Ninja World.
