The King from Nine Hundred Years Ago

The King from Nine Hundred Years Ago

The mysterious man's soul instantly burrowed into Hyuga Shin's soul space.

However, he had not expected Hyuga Shin's soul space to be completely different from everyone else's.

Others had soul spaces, but Hyuga Shin had a sea of consciousness.

Not long after entering Hyuga Shin's sea of consciousness, the true appearance of the mysterious man's Soul Body emerged.

He appeared as a middle-aged man clad in ancient armor, looking to be in his fifties.

There was none of the extremely aged feeling conveyed by his voice.

He was probably another man like Hyuga Shin who liked to keep a card up his sleeve.

After entering Hyuga Shin's sea of consciousness, the mysterious man immediately tried to find Hyuga Shin's soul and devour it.

However, he had not expected Hyuga Shin's soul space to be so vast!

Moreover, the soul space was actually filled with powerful wills!

They formed an ocean of soul will!

Otherwise, how could it be called a sea of consciousness?

As an existence that had never seen the true appearance of the Great Dao, he could never understand the power of a true cultivator of the immortal path.

Hyuga Shin's immortal path had no flaws!

Especially when it came to the sea of consciousness—it was terrifyingly powerful!

Seeing how frightening Hyuga Shin's sea of consciousness was, the mysterious man felt that his soul would probably be annihilated beneath this ocean-like will before long!

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

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Hyuga Shin had long since isolated his sea of consciousness, cutting off his escape route.

Hyuga Shin would never let such a big fish go.

Besides, he still needed this man to answer some questions about the secrets of the Shinobi World.

Hyuga Shin's figure slowly rose from within the sea of consciousness. Like an exiled immortal, he drifted before the mysterious man's soul, which was filled with shock.

"Looks like you made the wrong choice!"

"Wouldn't it have been better to honestly answer my questions and be a good man? You just had to come looking for death!"

Hyuga Shin's tone was cold, without the slightest trace of emotion.

"Young one, this old man underestimated you. I never expected you to have hidden yourself so deeply! And your soul is so young!"

The mysterious man was extremely shocked as he looked at Hyuga Shin's soul, which was completely at odds with his physical appearance.

"Talking is useless. Since you made the wrong choice, you must pay the appropriate price!"

Hyuga Shin attacked the mysterious man directly.

The vast sea of consciousness was stirred. An ocean formed from countless spiritual wills surged forth, instantly sweeping toward the mysterious man.

"Young one! Let me go, and I'll tell you all the secrets. Everything can be negotiated!"

Wrapped in the ocean of spiritual will, the mysterious man immediately lowered himself. He was afraid.

On Hyuga Shin's home ground, he had nowhere to hide.

"No need. I can obtain what I want myself." Hyuga Shin did not give the mysterious man the slightest chance.

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

Moreover, this was Hyuga Shin's home ground. He could not stir up the slightest wave here—he was merely struggling on the verge of death.

Under the ocean-like waves of will, the mysterious man's soul found it increasingly difficult to resist!

"No! Release this king! This king can obey your commands and serve you! I can help you deal with those people working behind the scenes."

The mysterious man was truly frantic. He felt that his soul would not last much longer before being completely scattered by Hyuga Shin's army of spiritual will.

In order to survive, he had even cast aside his dignity. He was willing to become Hyuga Shin's subordinate in exchange for a chance to live.

After all, he had clung to life for so many years. He was truly unwilling to die just like this!

Who would have thought that a moment of greed would brew such a bitter consequence?

"No need. You're merely a loser. You're dispensable to me!"

Hyuga Shin did not give him a chance.

"You forced me into this! Then let's die together!" Seeing that begging was useless, the mysterious man instantly grew furious and prepared to fight to the death!

"You? You think you can die together with me? What a fool's dream! This is my home ground!"

Seeing the mysterious man's soul power erupt as he attempted to self-detonate, Hyuga Shin immediately mobilized the will of his entire sea of consciousness to suppress him!

In a single instant, the mysterious man's soul power was forced back and bound layer upon layer, leaving him powerless to struggle any further.

Under the unceasing assault of the will in Hyuga Shin's sea of consciousness, he gradually lost the power to resist.

"No... please. This world still needs me..." the mysterious man whispered his final words.

Under Hyuga Shin's spiritual attack, the mysterious man's soul gradually lost consciousness and fell completely unconscious.

Everything about him would be displayed before Hyuga Shin without the slightest concealment.

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

"How many secrets are hidden in the Shinobi World?"

"I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Hyuga Shin extended his spiritual sense into the unconscious soul of the mysterious man and searched through the secrets he knew.

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

He had indeed gained something, but not much.

Some of what the man knew had long since been anticipated by Hyuga Shin. Still, he had managed to mostly understand the true purposes of the Sage of Six Paths and the Three Great Insect Sages.

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

In other words, he was probably a man from more than nine hundred years ago.

Moreover, he was not a native of this Small World. He was merely a later arrival who had gotten exceedingly lucky.

His understanding of this Small World's secrets was also limited.

It was here that he had obtained the dark green gemstone that provided him with a place to hide.

Within that dark green gemstone, he had obtained this world's orthodox cultivation method.

With the gemstone's help, he had also removed the Will of the Six Paths embedded in his body and learned the Sage of Six Paths' true purpose.

The reason he called himself a king was that he had indeed done something Hyuga Shin had long anticipated.

That was to try to unify the entire Shinobi World!

Through this, he intended to completely overturn the Six Paths' conspiracy.

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

However, he had still failed!

In the end, he had been unable to defeat the Sage of Six Paths and the Three Great Insect Sages.

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

All the history in which he had taken part had also been completely erased, leaving not a trace of information in the Shinobi World.

Now that he had obtained the information he wanted, Hyuga Shin originally intended to completely annihilate Oda Kazuya's soul.

But after reconsidering, he realized that Oda Kazuya still had considerable value.

This man truly possessed a certain level of strength. His memories showed that at his peak, he had been no weaker than Hashirama!

He might even have surpassed him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to escape alive while being hunted by the sages.

Moreover, he cultivated the immortal path developed independently by this world's natives. It had some reference value and could give the members of the Spark Organization an opportunity to improve their strength.

Annihilating him just like this would indeed be a waste.

Hyuga Shin decided to give this old man Oda Kazuya a chance.

Although Hyuga Shin's attack had rendered his soul unconscious, it had not completely erased it. He merely needed some time to recover.

However, the necessary safety measures were still required.

Hyuga Shin's spirit then pressed a hand against the forehead of Oda Kazuya's Soul Body, which was completely unconscious and had fallen into a deep sleep.

Before long, an incomparably complex Soul Lock settled deep within Oda Kazuya's soul.

Although your actions made me very unhappy, considering that you share the Spark Organization's ideals, I'll give you a chance.
