Spirit Hall, Worship Hall
"A beast with a million years of cultivation?!"
Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze locked tightly on the Nine-Tails within the Sky Screen, his expression incomparably grave.
"Not only is this Nine-Tails horrifyingly enormous, the power contained within its body is vast and boundless, like an endless ocean. An ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast cannot even be mentioned in the same breath! It truly deserves to be called a Million-Year Soul Beast!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded heavily at his side, his face filled with emotion. "In my life, I have faced Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beasts before, but compared to this Nine-Tails, they are no different from ants. A Million-Year Soul Beast! If it had Spirit Rings, just how powerful would they be?"
The other worshippers were equally shaken. They had never imagined that creatures from the Outer Continent could be this powerful.
At that moment, Mighty Lion Douluo suddenly frowned and pointed at the Masked Man within the Sky Screen as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Big Brother, did you notice? That masked man who appeared out of nowhere has three tomoe in his eyes, exactly like Xiao Zhi's Martial Soul!"
Everyone immediately came to their senses and looked closely. They all nodded in agreement.
Guang Ling Douluo slowly said, "I spend the most time with Yu Zhi, so I understand his Sharingan best. It evolved step by step into its Three-Tomoe form. In that case, this masked man and Xiao Zhi must come from the same bloodline clan."
Qian Daoliu's eyes were profound as he slowly nodded. "That's right! Yu Zhi's Sharingan was already extraordinary. It can absorb negative emotions and evolve on its own."
"Yet I only learned today that this Martial Soul can also control space and use such bizarre abilities. It seems I still underestimated the Sharingan!"
The worshippers all deeply agreed.
If they had not long recognized the unfathomable potential of Yu Zhi's Martial Soul, they would never have so readily agreed to make an unknown young man from another land the Martial Soul Hall Saint as an exception.
Spirit Hall, Pope Palace
Bibi Dong quietly watched the Masked Man's rotating Three-Tomoe Sharingan in the Sky Screen, then turned to Yu Zhi beside her and spoke gently.
"Xiao Zhi, is this person one of your clansmen?"
Yu Zhi was currently stunned by the sheer size of the Nine-Tails!
Damn, this Nine-Tails was way too huge! It had to be over a hundred meters tall!
What the hell could Douluo Continent even compare to this?
Hearing Bibi Dong's voice, he deliberately put on an ignorant, astonished expression and repeated the information he had fabricated before.
"Teacher, I... I don't know either. I only remember hearing as a child about the Nine-Tails causing chaos in Konoha and the Fourth Hokage's death. But I never knew there was such a secret behind it, nor had I ever seen this powerful clansman."
Bibi Dong lovingly raised her hand and gently stroked the top of his head. "It's all right. You were still very young then. It was only natural that you had no access to the Village's upper-level secrets."
Her gaze returned to the Sky Screen as she solemnly instructed him, "Watch the scenes in the Sky Screen carefully from now on. Observe more and gain more insight. It will be of immense benefit to your understanding and development of your Sharingan Martial Soul."
Yu Zhi obediently nodded, secretly thinking, Becoming her disciple was definitely worth it!
All he could say was that a Bibi Dong who had not gone mad was simply incredible!
Core Region of Star Dou Forest
Mist lingered along the shore of the Lake of Life. The Ferocious Beasts stood silently, looking up at the Nine-Tails wreaking havoc in the Sky Screen, all their faces full of shock.
Di Tian's golden eyes darkened as he stared fixedly at the hundred-meter crimson fox, his voice carrying traces of doubt and gravity.
"This Nine-Tails actually has a million years of cultivation? And the origin of its physique is completely different from that of Spirit Beasts on our Douluo Continent. So it is called a Tailed Beast? There are even nine of them! I wonder whether they were also created from our lord's bloodline back then?"
Xiong Jun scratched his massive head and sighed in a rough voice.
"No one can say for sure. But now it seems that Naruto Continent is truly strange and unfathomable. This Nine-Tails is far too powerful. The energy within its body is vast and vigorous, as though it is inexhaustible and endless. What is even more absurd is that such a supreme existence can actually be forcibly controlled and used by someone!"
"It's the strongest beast I've ever seen! Far stronger than that useless silkworm!"
Bi Ji looked at the collapsed buildings and fleeing civilians in the Sky Screen. Feeling pity for them, she softly sighed.
"Alas, such a prosperous and peaceful city was overturned by war in an instant. It seems that no matter what world or continent one is in, slaughter and conflict can never truly be escaped."
The Ferocious Beasts fell silent. They wanted to refute her, but out of consideration for Bi Ji's dignity, they said nothing.
The light and shadows of the Sky Screen shifted as the scene continued.
[As chaos suddenly erupted, Konoha City quickly stabilized itself. The Ninjas of the entire Village rapidly gathered and rushed to the front lines to repel the enemy.] [Lines of clear annotations appeared in the corner of the scene, explaining the Martial Souls and abilities of Konoha's major clans one by one.] [Nara Clan: Shadow Martial Soul, binding and restraint.] [Yamanaka Clan: Spiritual Martial Soul, seeking opportunities to control opponents.] [Akimichi Clan: Physical Body Martial Soul, close-range protection.] [Aburame Clan Martial Soul: Insects! Disruption!] [An elderly man, yet one with a majestic presence, stepped forward. He was none other than the Third Hokage—Sarutobi Hiruzen.] [The Sky Screen marked their levels. Most were in their seventies, most leaders were in their eighties, and Sarutobi Hiruzen alone was level 97!] [He led a large number of Ninja against the berserk Nine-Tails, unleashing a flood of all kinds of Ninjutsu.] [Flames scorched the sky, thunder split the earth, and torrents surged forth. Fire, lightning, water, and all manner of abilities took turns attacking with incomparable ferocity.] [Yet when they struck the Nine-Tails' enormous body, they did not even damage its fur. They could not shake this primordial giant beast in the slightest.] ["Everyone, scatter at once! I will forcibly push it out of the Village!"] [The Third Hokage shouted sternly and instantly unleashed his Martial Soul—Enma.] [Enma transformed into a colossal staff that pierced the heavens. Its body extended segment by segment, wildly growing hundreds of meters long. It forcibly braced against the Nine-Tails' massive body, and through his strength alone, pushed this terrifying giant beast step by step away from the heart of Konoha City.]
The scene in the Sky Screen was breathtaking, and gasps rang out throughout Douluo Continent.
"There are actually so many above level 70! There are even Titled Douluo-level experts!"
"Konoha Village's foundation runs deep!"
"Hiss... so this is Ninjutsu? Flames, thunder, and flowing water can all be controlled at will!"
"And those Martial Souls are all so unfamiliar! Shadows and spiritual power can become Martial Souls too?"
"And that elderly Third Hokage—he is already in his twilight years, yet he can still hold the front line and forcibly drive such a terrifying giant beast out of the city!"
Countless sharp-minded Soul Masters watched with burning eyes, already silently analyzing the cultivation system and exceptional strengths of the Ninja from Naruto Continent.
Within Spirit Hall's Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu gazed at the Sky Screen with deep eyes and murmured softly to himself.
"They can use extraordinary abilities without relying on Spirit Rings. It is simply that these special techniques seem to require those strange hand seals... They truly have a system of their own."
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded heavily, his expression extremely solemn.
"That's right, Big Brother! The most terrifying part is that this Ninjutsu seems to be something everyone can cultivate and learn, free from the restrictions of innate Martial Souls and Spirit Ring age limits.
"Not only does this make up for the shortcomings of Soul Skills, but once it reaches maturity, the techniques and combat methods they can master may well rival those of us Douluo Soul Masters!"
"Besides, Konoha Village seems to have very few Titled Douluo-level experts! So far, there is only Sarutobi Hiruzen!"
Qian Daoliu looked at the Konoha Ninja in the Sky Screen and pondered for a moment.
"Perhaps some sort of upheaval occurred. Konoha Village clearly has a gap in its generations!"
Then he sighed. "Ah... is this the difference between different continents?!"
"That Sarutobi Hiruzen's Enma Martial Soul is quite powerful!"
"Level 97, and already so old, yet he still possesses such strength!"
"According to Yu Zhi, Konoha Village's strongest Hokage was not him, but the First! What kind of magnificence must that have been?"
"And that Fourth Hokage—the Sky Screen is reviewing him! He still has not appeared! It seems he must have been the one who appeared and resolved this giant beast!"
The more Qian Daoliu spoke, the brighter his eyes became. An invisible aura rose and fell around him as emotions that had lain dormant for countless years surged violently at this moment.
He had not felt this way in a very long time!
Extreme curiosity, irrepressible excitement, and a deeply buried fighting spirit that longed to battle the experts of another land with all his strength intertwined within his heart, filling this powerhouse who had long stood at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent with a long-lost thrill and agitation.
