The King of Nine Hundred Years Ago

Chapter 48: The King from Nine Hundred Years Ago

The mysterious person's soul instantly plunged into Hyuga Shin's soul space.

However, he hadn't expected that Hyuga Shin's soul space would be vastly different from others.

Others had a soul space; Hyuga Shin had a Sea of Consciousness.

Not long after entering Hyuga Shin's Sea of Consciousness, the mysterious person's soul form revealed its true appearance.

His appearance was that of a middle-aged man clad in ancient armor, looking to be in his fifties.

He didn't sound as ancient as his voice suggested.

This was probably someone like Hyuga Shin, who liked to keep some tricks up his sleeve.

After entering Hyuga Shin's Sea of Consciousness, the mysterious man attempted to find and devour Hyuga Shin's soul.

But he hadn't expected Hyuga Shin's soul space to be so immense!

Furthermore, the soul space was filled with powerful wills!

It had formed an ocean of soul wills!

Otherwise, why would it be called a Sea of Consciousness?

Someone like him, who had never seen the true form of the Great Dao, could never comprehend the power of a true cultivator of the Great Dao.

Hyuga Shin's immortal path was flawless!

Especially in terms of his Sea of Consciousness, it was terrifyingly strong!

Seeing how terrifying Hyuga Shin's Sea of Consciousness was, the mysterious man felt that his soul form, under this sea-like will, would likely be annihilated before long!

The mysterious man instantly realized he might have fallen into a trap and immediately tried to escape.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Hyuga Shin had already sealed off his Sea of Consciousness, cutting off his escape route.

Hyuga Shin wouldn't let such a big fish get away.

Besides, he needed this guy to answer some secrets of the Ninja World.

Hyuga Shin's figure slowly rose from the Sea of Consciousness, like an exiled immortal, floating before the soul of the mysterious man, who was staring in shock.

"It seems you made the wrong choice!"

"Wouldn't it have been better to honestly answer my questions and be a good person? Why did you have to seek death!"

Hyuga Shin's tone was icy, devoid of any emotion.

"Youngster, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be hiding so much! And your soul is so young!"

The mysterious man was also greatly shocked by Hyuga Shin's soul, which was completely inconsistent with his physical body.

"Words are useless. Since you made the wrong choice, you must pay the price!"

Hyuga Shin attacked the mysterious man directly.

The vast Sea of Consciousness was mobilized, and the ocean formed by countless mental wills surged forward, instantly assaulting the mysterious person.

"Youngster! Let me go, and I will tell you all my secrets. We can discuss everything!"

Enveloped by the ocean of divine sense and will, the mysterious man immediately humbled himself. He was scared.

On Hyuga Shin's home turf, he had no way to hide.

"No need. I can get what I want myself." Hyuga Shin didn't give the mysterious man any chance.

Even though the mysterious man's soul was extremely powerful, it was nothing to Hyuga Shin!

Moreover, it was on his home turf, so he couldn't make any waves; it was just a dying struggle.

Facing the tide-like surge of will, the mysterious man's soul found it increasingly difficult to resist!

"No! Release me, King! I can obey your command, serve you! And deal with those behind the scenes for you."

The mysterious man was truly desperate. He felt his soul wouldn't last much longer before being completely scattered by Hyuga Shin's army of divine sense and will.

To save his life, he abandoned all pretense of dignity and was willing to become Hyuga Shin's subordinate, begging for a way to survive.

After all, he had managed to cling to life for so many years; he truly wasn't willing to die just like this!

He never expected that a moment of greed would lead to such dire consequences.

"No need. You are nothing more than a failure, dispensable to me!"

Hyuga Shin gave him no opportunity.

"You forced my hand! Then let's die together!" Seeing that his pleas were useless, the mysterious man instantly became enraged and decided to fight to the death!

"You? You want to take me down with you? Don't be ridiculous! This is my home turf!"

Hyuga Shin saw the mysterious man's soul power erupt, intending to self-destruct, and immediately mobilized the will of his entire Sea of Consciousness to suppress it!

In just an instant, the mysterious man's soul power was pushed back, bound by layer upon layer of restraints, rendering him unable to struggle any further.

Under the constant scouring of Hyuga Shin's Sea of Consciousness will, he gradually lost his ability to resist.

"No, please, this world still needs me~" the mysterious man uttered his final whisper.

Under Hyuga Shin's divine sense attack, his soul gradually lost consciousness and he fell into a deep coma.

Everything about him would be laid bare before Hyuga Shin.

"Next, let me see just what you know."

"How many secrets are hidden in the Ninja World!"

"I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Hyuga Shin probed his divine sense into the soul of the unconscious mysterious man, searching for the secrets he knew.

More than an hour later, Hyuga Shin finally finished investigating the mysterious man.

He did gain some insights, but not much.

Some of the things he knew, Hyuga Shin had already anticipated, but he could also generally understand the true objectives of the Sage of Six Paths and the Three Great Insect Sages.

The mysterious man's name was Oda Kazuya, and he was from an era more than a hundred years after the Sage of Six Paths had passed down the Chakra system, before the Warring States Period.

In other words, he was from about nine hundred years ago.

Furthermore, he was not an original inhabitant of this small world space, but merely a lucky latecomer.

His understanding of the secrets of this world space was also limited.

It was here that he obtained the deep green gem that served as his hiding place.

Within that deep green gem, he obtained the true cultivation method of this world.

With the help of the gem, he also cleared the Will of the Six Paths embedded in his body and learned the true purpose of the Sage of Six Paths.

The reason he called himself king was because he had indeed done things that Hyuga Shin had already anticipated.

That was the intention to unify the entire Ninja World!

To completely subvert the plot of the Six Paths.

He had also made great efforts, gained the support of a large portion of people, and achieved significant results.

However, he still failed!

In the end, he could not defeat the Sage of Six Paths and the Three Great Insect Sages.

He fled to this place with only a few loyal subordinates to escape the pursuit of the Four Great Sages, barely clinging to life.

All the history he was involved in was also completely erased, leaving no trace of information in the Ninja World.

Since he had obtained the information he wanted, Hyuga Shin had originally planned to completely obliterate Oda Kazuya's soul.

But on second thought, Oda Kazuya was still quite valuable.

This guy indeed possessed considerable strength; from his memories, it could be seen that in his prime, he was no weaker than Hashirama!

Perhaps even stronger, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape the pursuit of the Sages.

Moreover, he cultivated the immortal path independently developed by the natives of this world, which had certain reference value and could provide the members of the Spark Organization with an opportunity to improve their strength.

To obliterate him like this would indeed be a waste.

Hyuga Shin decided to give old Oda Kazuya a chance.

Although his soul had lost consciousness under Hyuga Shin's attack, it had not been completely erased, and only needed some time to recover.

However, necessary safety measures were still required.

Hyuga Shin's divine soul immediately placed his hand on the forehead of Oda Kazuya's soul body, which was completely unconscious and in a deep sleep.

Soon, an incredibly complex Soul Lock was placed deep within Oda Kazuya's soul.

"Although your actions have greatly displeased me, considering that you are somewhat aligned with the Spark Organization's goals, I will give you a chance."
