The White Snake Sage stared wide-eyed at the Otsutsuki Nu before her, her body trembling involuntarily.
She had never imagined that this Otsutsuki Nu would be so powerful, so powerful that he felt fear and despair.
Prior to this, Otsutsuki Nu had been using the Three Divine Princesses to fight against the White Snake Sage, without directly taking action himself.
However, when the White Snake Sage truly faced Otsutsuki Nu, she deeply realized the terrifying strength of the opponent.
The White Snake Sage gasped, inwardly marveling, "This... how is this possible? His power is so immense, it's beyond imagination!"
She couldn't help but wonder if this was the true strength a cultivator should possess? Was this the power wielded by the representative of the Heavenly Dao?
Uchiha Kō's face was ashen. He quickly closed the spatial rift, then stared intently at Otsutsuki Nu with a deep sense of dread in his eyes. The breathtaking scene he had just witnessed had given him a completely new understanding of Otsutsuki Nu's strength.
With a single strike, Otsutsuki Nu easily destroyed the entire planet and sliced it in two!
If this power were to fall upon the White Snake Sage, or upon Ryūchi Cave, the consequences would be unimaginable. The White Snake Sage would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant, and Ryūchi Cave would vanish in the blink of an eye.
At that time Ryūchi Cave Earthly Dao lineage, this once glorious and long-standing existence, will crumble and vanish, as if it had never existed at all.
The ruthlessness of Heavenly Dao is laid bare at this moment, making one sigh at its cruelty.
"Heavenly Dao is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs!" Uchiha Kō's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, like a thunderbolt, shaking people's hearts.
As he finished speaking, the once clear sky suddenly changed color, with dark clouds rolling in like a black torrent, quickly obscuring the entire sky.
Thunderclouds churned and roared within, with flashes of lightning occasionally streaking across the sky, as if the wrath of the Heavenly Dao were howling.
This was the wrath of Heavenly Dao! Upon seeing this, Otsutsuki Nu's face turned deathly pale. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, his heart filled with fear of the might of Heavenly Dao.
However, just as he was filled with fear, Uchiha Kō's words struck him like a heavy hammer.
Suddenly, some past scenes surfaced in his mind; those memories that he had buried deep in his heart surged up like a tide.
In those images, a figure appeared and disappeared. That person seemed to have said the same words before, but in the end, the Heavenly Dao manifested itself, sealing that person away and launching a bloody massacre on Otsutsuki Planet.
Those who submit to the will of Heavenly Dao, though they save their lives, also lose their freedom.
Those who resisted were annihilated in the wrath of Heavenly Dao, leaving not a trace behind.
On the Otsutsuki Planet, some members of the clan were away on missions and thus escaped the direct pressure of the Heavenly Dao, becoming survivors of this disaster.
Otsutsuki Nu was currently prostrate in the void, his body trembling slightly.
Those painful memories surged into his mind like a tide, Earth Spike his soul and making them unforgettable.
These memories are like dark clouds buried deep in the heart; once uncovered, they bring endless pain and torment.
The injustice of Heavenly Dao is a well-known fact, yet no one dares to speak it out easily.
Because Heavenly Dao is jealous of talent, it does not tolerate anyone questioning its impartiality. Otherwise, how could there be a saying like "Heaven is jealous of talent"?
Just then, a voice suddenly resounded between heaven and earth. This voice was ethereal yet full of pressure, as if it came from the depths of the universe.
Kill! Leave no one alive!
Not only did Otsutsuki Nu hear this sound, but everyone present clearly felt its presence.
The sound was like a thunderclap, exploding in people's ears and sending chills down their spines.
Otsutsuki Nu was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up, his voice deep and firm. "I will obey the decree of the Heavenly Dao!"
After speaking, Otsutsuki Nu stood up and looked at Uchiha Kō with a complicated expression. He had to admit that he had only thought that Uchiha Kō was a powerful cultivator, but he never expected that he was a true genius.
Just like that person! However, no matter how exceptionally talented you are, you're nothing but dregs in the face of Heavenly Dao's will!
Although Otsutsuki Nu deeply admired Uchiha Kō's talent and strength, he had to take action due to the difference in their status.
Otsutsuki Nu slowly stood up, staring intently at Uchiha Kō with piercing eyes, and solemnly said, "You must be Uchiha Kō. I have some advice for you."
Humans are so insignificant before the Heavenly Dao, utterly powerless to resist it! You'd better be wise and surrender now; that way you can not only save your own life but also ensure the safety of your family."
He felt a pang of affection for Uchiha Kō, after all, the person before him was so similar to that legendary being, it was truly a pity.
Otsutsuki Nu couldn't help but think that if Uchiha Kō could let go of his obsession and submit to the heavens, perhaps there would be more opportunities for communication and cooperation between them.
As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. With their strength, Longevity is not difficult for them.
Why sacrifice everything, including the lives of your people and the happiness of your family, for that fleeting breath?
As someone who had experienced many hardships, Otsutsuki Nu was well aware of the stakes involved, which is why he so earnestly tried to persuade Uchiha Kō.
However, after hearing this, Uchiha Kō simply shook his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips, and then slowly uttered four words: "Man will conquer nature!"
As he spoke, the Flame Demon Necklace hanging on his chest suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as if activated by some power.
Immediately afterwards, a strange light burst forth from the necklace, instantly condensing into a gigantic monster in the air— Qiongqi!
This Qiongqi has a huge body, with the body of a tiger and the head of an ox, and a pair of enormous wings that, when spread out, resemble dark clouds that blot out the sky.
Its fur stands on end like a hedgehog's quills, making it look both fierce and majestic.
Its bark is like a dog's bark, yet deafening and chilling.
As Qiongqi appeared, a raging fire erupted and enveloped its body, displaying its supreme majesty.
Otsutsuki Nu felt a tremor in his heart and couldn't help but feel a sense of solemnity. What kind of monster was this! It actually made him feel fear and trepidation at this moment!
After releasing some pressure, Qiongqi obediently lay low in the void, and the hair on his back spine softened, making him rideable.
Uchiha Kō moved, straddling Qiongqi. The next second, his clothes changed, and he put on a Daoist robe, his eyes filled with killing intent.
With his palm facing down towards the Ninja World, Uchiha Itachi, who was strolling through the village with Uchiha Rou, suddenly felt the Chixiao Sword tremble violently.
The next moment, the Chixiao Sword shot into the sky. Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted, and he secretly wondered, "Is my father-in-law fighting?"
Above the sacred ground of Ryūchi Cave
The peaceful atmosphere was shattered by a sudden scene. Otsutsuki Nu stared at the strange-looking Qiongqi below, a sense of surprise welling up in his heart.
This tiger has wings on its back!
But Otsutsuki Nu of great experience and knowledge. He quickly came to his senses and thought that the world was full of wonders, and this tiger was probably just a rare mutation. There was no need to worry too much.
His thoughts drifted in another direction—how glorious it would be to kill Uchiha Kō and then take this unique tiger as his mount!
When the time comes, he will ride this tiger and show off in front of the other three representatives of the Heavenly Dao, which will surely make them look at him with new respect.
Just as Otsutsuki Nu was secretly gloating, Uchiha Kō's eyes lit up as he sensed a crimson light rushing towards him from below. It was his Chixiao Sword, hurtling towards him at an astonishing speed.
Without hesitation, as the Chixiao Sword swept past him, Uchiha Kō suddenly stretched out his large hand and gripped the hilt tightly. In an instant, a surge of scorching energy erupted like a volcanic eruption!
Otsutsuki Nu was completely unprepared for this turn of events. He was violently thrown back by the powerful force, and his body flew backward involuntarily.
At the same time, an unprecedented solemnity appeared in his eyes.
For many years, he hadn't felt this kind of apprehension.
The sheer power of Uchiha Kō before him filled Otsutsuki Nu with anticipation for the upcoming battle, while also making him more cautious.
He looked at the Chixiao Sword in Uchiha Kō's hand, his eyes filled with greed. If he could obtain this sword, he couldn't imagine how powerful he would become!
Uchiha Kō had seen the greedy looks on the faces of people in the Ninja World before, just like Otsutsuki Nu at this moment. Although Otsutsuki Nu did not have a physical body at this moment, his eyes were the windows to his soul, and they would reveal his truest thoughts.
"Uchiha Kō, but I underestimated you. Give me that sword, and I'll leave," Otsutsuki Nu said, without any reproach from the Heavenly Dao.
The cause and effect and aura emanating from that sword made even the Heavenly Dao feel ashamed. It was terrifying, truly terrifying. The Heavenly Dao even sensed the aura of his second maternal great-uncle from that Chixiao Sword!
His second maternal uncle was the Heavenly Dao of the great world of cultivation. At first, the Heavenly Dao of the Ninja World thought he had misread it, until he discovered that the Chixiao Sword was surrounded by causal lines, one of which belonged to his second maternal uncle!
However, his own subordinate actually wanted this weapon that had slaughtered the Heavenly Dao! But after thinking about it, it was safer for this weapon to be in the hands of his own people than in the hands of Uchiha Kō.
Therefore, Otsutsuki Nu made this request, the Heavenly Dao did not refute him, but instead quietly watched Uchiha Kō's choice!
This sword is worth more than Ryūchi Cave! Trading Ryūchi Cave for it is absolutely worth it!
Uchiha Kō sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid, Otsutsuki Nu?" Then, Uchiha Kō flipped his wrist, and a crimson sword aura burst forth, rushing towards Otsutsuki Nu.
Otsutsuki Nu was about to raise his hand to block, the Heavenly Dao transmitted a message: "Dodge! This sword strike is not as simple as you think!"
