Clatter!
The sound of rattling chains rang out. Xuan slashed with his sword, yet failed to sever the pitch-black chains. Instead, the chains swayed and wrapped around his blade. A force of Yin-Yang Release distinct from his own traveled up from the sword, creeping eerily toward his body.
He hastily let go of the sword. Xuan's expression darkened further. In his very first exchange after leaving the new world, he had been suppressed by his opponent. That was certainly not good news.
The Sage of Six Paths appeared far calmer. The instant Xuan released the Yin-Yang sword, he brought his hands together.
"Sage Art, Source of the Corona!"
A speck of golden light burst beside Xuan, followed by an extreme eruption of Yang Release. Flames even more intense than Amaterasu appeared. Nine masses of golden fire ignited in succession, surrounding Xuan at the center. The temperature around him immediately began rising without end, making him feel as though he were inside the sun.
Before him, the black chains bound the Yin-Yang sword. Their ends stretched out again, continuing toward Xuan to bind him. At the same time, the golden flames sealed off his retreat, continuously shrinking the space around him. Even if he used his spatial ability to flee into a spatial rift, the Yin-Yang chains could pursue him and bind him according to their properties.
The situation was critical!
"This feeling really pisses me off." Xuan muttered, suddenly extending his right hand.
"Rinnegan, God's Space!"
White chakra light emerged from his palm. Then, a holy hymn resounded through the heavens.
At the same time, the situation on another battlefield was becoming increasingly perilous.
Even with Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara joining forces, they could only barely remain undefeated.
Otsutsuki Hamura retreated lightly, black lightning brushing past his body.
