The Clash

Having anticipated this, Uzumaki Minako quickly directed her team to begin treating the Ninja Army and Ninja Beast.

The Toad and the Giant Snake, whose injuries were less severe, returned directly to their respective little worlds.

"Your Leader, we will take our leave now."

Shima and Fukasaku teleported the bodies of Gamahiro and Gamakichi back to Mount Myōboku, and then had Gama Bunta handle the funeral arrangements before walking hand in hand to Uchiha Takeyasu's side.

"Preserve the flesh and blood of the fallen; they will be needed later."

The abrupt and Fukasaku words caused Shima to pause, but seeing that Uchiha Takeyasu was unwilling to say more, the two Toad did not dare to ask any further questions and respectfully took their leave.

On the other side of Ryūchi Cave, the ordinary Giant Snake were also sent back, leaving the two Divine Princess to guard one side with the White Snake Sage.

"Hikaru, Mito, Minako, I'm leaving the rest to you."

Uchiha Takeyasu returned to his tent and checked his system.

--Uchiha Takeyasu

Job Levels: Elemental Mage - Fire, Lightning, Wind, Water, Earth (LV50); Yin-Yang Mage - Yin (LV10); Yin-Yang Mage - Yang (LV1);

Race Level: Dragonkin (Frost Dragon Bloodline LV10, True Dragon Bloodline LV10)

Skills: Supernatural Magic; Dragon-type talent; Low-to-mid-tier Origin Magic;

Overall combat strength level: LV81 (Blazing Sun);

Uchiha Takeyasu, whose strength had grown to the level of the Blazing Sun, closed his eyes in deep thought. His mind leaped into the Sea of Magic, and his gaze pierced through numerous obstacles, finally seeing the black and gold dragon coiled deep within!

The scales are as black as ink jade, shimmering with a metallic luster, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky.

Its body was enormous and robust, its limbs thick and powerful, and its claws were like sharp steel knives. With each breath, the entire Sea of Magic rose and fell with it.

Its size is several times that of the Nine-Tails, and it is almost comparable to the Susanoo of Uchiha Takeyasu's main body!

"A ninja from the Ninja World!"

The black-gold dragon opened its eyes, its piercing gaze like the eyes of the heavens. Uchiha Takeyasu, who was being stared at, felt the rejection and hostility of the entire Sea of Magic.

"To merge with the Sea of Magic, hoping to use it to reach the Six Paths, or even transcend the Six Paths?"

Uchiha Takeyasu coldly observed the Dragon Emperor's condition. The two Otsutsuki brothers had their souls injured by the Dragon Emperor, and the Dragon Emperor himself was in no better shape.

Already severely injured, he summoned beings from New World, attempting to obtain a way to heal his body and even a chance to transcend.

However, his body was killed by the player before Momonga, and his dragon soul had no choice but to fly into the Sea of Magic. There, he unexpectedly discovered the wonders of the Sea of Magic of Magic. After five hundred years of fusion, the Dragon Emperor almost completely mastered the core of the Sea of Magic.

Therefore, the deeper the spiritual imprint of Uchiha Takeyasu was, the easier it would be for the Dragon Emperor to discover Uchiha Takeyasu's existence.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Takeyasu, who also coveted the Sea of Magic, also noticed the Dragon Emperor's presence when the Dragon Emperor was watching the battlefield, which led to their current meeting.

"The Dragon Emperor?"

The figure of Uchiha Takeyasu's true form appeared behind him, and the Sea of Magic immediately began to boil.

The Mana, now infused with numerous energies, erected a barrier, and with a wave of its hand, it sent its clone away.

Uchiha Takeyasu watched with great interest the surging Sea of Magic. The Dragon Emperor's sky-covering dragon wings were projected onto the entire sky through the Sea of Magic!

"Get out of here, Uchiha Takeyasu!"

The Dragon Emperor roared, and as his demonic power surged, an immense pressure, as vast as a mountain and as deep as the sea, swept over him. The barrier surrounding Uchiha Takeyasu trembled precariously, and with a series of cracking sounds, it shattered into countless fragments.

Then, the 500-meter-tall Warrior God Susanoo stood between heaven and earth, like a reef on the seashore, calmly resisting the waves of the Sea of Magic.

"You want to fight me now?"

Uchiha Takeyasu chuckled and mocked, "Aren't you afraid that the culprit who caused you to become like this will reap the benefits and completely rob you of your hope?"

"Hmph, the Otsutsuki brothers have no ambitions in this; only you would dare to covet my path to transcendence!"

The Dragon Emperor remained unmoved by Uchiha Takeyasu's words; the world's top powerhouses could generally predict the path their opponents would take.

Even mortal enemies can temporarily set aside their hatred in the face of transcendence.

Both were confident that they could improve themselves faster than the other.

However, if the opponent really does get there first, then the most ferocious attack must be launched to prevent the opponent's life from leaping forward!

After all, no one wants to wait until the other person has transcended their limitations and then be eliminated like a chick.

"Peeping doesn't mean you can get it. Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor has been cultivating the Sea of Magic for hundreds of years. Surely you have the confidence to do this?"

Uchiha Takeyasu manipulated Susanoo to cleave the vast Sea of Magic in two, the resulting shockwave tearing a rift in the sky.

The scattered energy surges erupted, triggering numerous terrifying natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides, causing the alien city, which suffered undeserved calamities, to let out mournful cries.

At the same time, the black and gold dragon at the core of the Sea of Magic was also revealed.

Uchiha Takeyasu laughed and said, "Even Hamura Otsutsuki is not afraid of challenges from newcomers. As the ruler of the Mana Continent for thousands of years, are you afraid?"

"Fear? It only nipps the danger in the bud."

The simple provocation didn't move the Dragon Emperor at all; instead, he scoffed, "Besides, it's not just me who hates you; even Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura wish you were dead!"

"So what if you want to? The essence of the world is that the strong rule!"

The waves of the Sea of Magic boiled beneath Susanoo's sword.

The energy, like a raging beast, burst forth from this small world, tearing apart the sky and shaking the earth.

Susanoo's sword sliced through layers of magical barriers, carrying boundless pressure, and aimed directly at the heart of the black-gold dragon.

The Dragon Emperor's eyes gleamed beneath his black and gold scales as he coldly stared at the formidable enemy before him, showing no fear.

"Might makes right? Then let me see your strength!"

The Dragon Emperor roared, his enormous dragon wings flapping, unleashing a monstrous storm of magical power.

A storm swept in, seemingly intent on engulfing Uchiha Takeyasu. The figure of the Warrior God Susanoo stood firm amidst the storm, his sword gleaming coldly as he met the destructive force head-on.

The sword clashed with the storm, unleashing a deafening roar.

Susanoo's sword, like a blade slicing through the void, tore the storm to shreds. The Dragon Emperor's figure appeared and disappeared within the storm, his dragon claws flashing out like lightning, heading straight for Uchiha Takeyasu's location.

Susanoo's shield rose instantly, blocking the fatal blow.

"Your strength is nothing special!"

Uchiha Takeyasu sneered, Susanoo's sword swung down again, carrying endless killing intent.

The Dragon Emperor narrowed his eyes, and his massive dragon tail swept across like an iron whip, meeting the deadly sword blade head-on.

The Dragon Emperor's figure tumbled in the air, his dragon wings slashing like blades, carrying sharp wind blades and boundless magical power, cutting Susanoo's armor into countless holes!
