Ch. 281Ice Sea North! Underwater Space!
Jing Hongchen planned to use the Cursed Seal research to win Xu Tianran’s support and turn the Sun Moon Empire against Orochimaru. Meanwhile, Tobi, Itachi, Kisame, and Du Bisi reached an ancient ruin beneath the frozen sea, where Tobi explained that a Gelel Stone Vein powered the barrier around it.
- Jing Hongchen decided to study the Cursed Seal so ordinary Soul Masters could wield Level 10 Soul Tools, hoping to gain Xu Tianran’s support and strengthen the Sun Moon Empire against the Dawn Organization.
- Jing Hongchen left his office with the Cursed Seal files and vowed to take revenge on Orochimaru for harming his grandchildren.
- Tobi, Itachi, and Kisame led Du Bisi and a bound young man across the frozen sea to a remote northern location.
- Tobi shattered the ice, and he, Itachi, Kisame, and Du Bisi dove into the deep sea with the captive.
- Du Bisi followed the others through a barrier surrounding a colossal ruin in a seafloor trench and discovered that it contained air.
- Tobi explained that energy from a Gelel Stone Vein sustained the barrier while the Space-Time Hole remained sealed.
