[Minato Namikaze let out a low shout, his hands rapidly forming seals. A massive, profound Space-Time Rune Array instantly appeared in the void before him.]
[The Tailed Beast Bomb crashed into the array with a thunderous boom. Its violent energy surged wildly, yet it was firmly restrained and slowly devoured by the array.]
[The instant the entire Tailed Beast Bomb was completely swallowed by the space-time array, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly rang out deep within the mountains far beyond Konoha.]
[An entire mountain was instantly razed to the ground. The terrifying shockwave swept across hundreds of miles, and even Konoha City felt the intense tremors as fierce winds howled through the land.]
[Atop the mountain peak, Minato Namikaze's golden hair whipped wildly in the gale. His expression remained calm, but he was calculating the blast radius in his mind, deciding where to send the next Tailed Beast Bomb!]
Above the Sky Screen, the breathtaking sight of the Tailed Beast Bomb flattening entire mountain ranges, its aftershock sweeping across a hundred miles, still lingered before everyone's eyes.
Inside the Pope Palace of Spirit Hall
Bibi Dong stared blankly at that world-destroying power, slowly rising to her feet. Her chest rose and fell slightly, and even her breathing became a little hurried.
That soul-stirring destructive power far surpassed any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast she had ever seen. Her eyes trembled, and her emotions remained unsettled for a long while.
Those two bouncing little rabbits made Yu Zhi's gaze wander, leaving him somewhat dazzled.
After quite some time, Bibi Dong finally suppressed the storm in her heart. She turned to Yu Zhi and asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Zhi, are all the Tailed Beasts on your Naruto Continent this powerful?"
The moment she finished speaking, she sharply caught Yu Zhi's slightly distracted gaze. Her beautiful eyes widened at once, carrying a hint of reproach and authority.
Yu Zhi immediately composed himself, giving an awkward smile as he answered honestly.
"Teacher, I only know that there are nine Tailed Beasts on the continent. As for how powerful each one is, today is also the first time I've personally witnessed such terrifying might through the Sky Screen."
Bibi Dong no longer looked quite so grave. She unconsciously straightened her posture, and the rabbits bounced a few more times as she sighed.
"There are actually nine such terrifying Ferocious Beasts!"
"And that Minato Namikaze actually used a space secret technique to transfer a lethal attack powerful enough to flatten mountain ranges. His methods are simply unimaginable."
"It seems that when you were stranded and came to the Douluo Continent back then, you truly missed a great deal!"
Yu Zhi smiled calmly. "Teacher, it was fate that allowed me to cross continents and come here in the first place! Heaven not only allowed me to survive, but also gave me the fortune of meeting you!"
That was right! The identity Yu Zhi had given himself was that of a surviving orphan of the Uchiha Clan.
Back then, while fleeing Itachi Uchiha's massacre of the clan, he had touched an ancient Teleportation Scroll within the clan in his panic and accidentally arrived on the Douluo Continent.
The absurd part was that Spirit Hall's worshippers had initially nearly believed him. Yet when he mentioned that Itachi Uchiha had exterminated his entire clan, they collectively refused to believe it.
They all said that there could not possibly be such a beast in the world who would wipe out his own kin. Even making up a story required at least some basis.
In the end, Yu Zhi had only managed to make Qian Daoliu and the others fully believe his story after using Angel God-related lie-detection methods.
At that moment, hearing his words, which expressed loyalty yet carried a hint of ambiguity, Bibi Dong's heart stirred slightly. She rolled her eyes at him, and a subtle shift in her posture made Yu Zhi not dare let his gaze wander again.
Yu Zhi had already said such things countless times over the years!
What had begun as purely expressing loyalty had now become sweet words that were half-confession!
Yet Bibi Dong was not disgusted by it. Instead, a faint sense of delight and satisfaction arose in her heart!
Inside the Worship Hall
The gazes of the titled powerhouses were fixed tightly upon the Sky Screen. Watching the horrifying sight of the Tailed Beast Bomb blasting mountain ranges flat, the entire hall fell deathly silent.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils shrank sharply. His face was filled with shock as he blurted out in astonishment.
"An entire mountain was directly razed to the ground! And the Nine-Tails' aura did not weaken in the slightest after releasing that attack. Could that have merely been a casual strike?"
Qian Daoliu, whose fighting spirit had been surging just moments ago, suddenly had most of his excitement extinguished. His expression became incomparably grave as he slowly shook his head and sighed.
"It cannot be done... Even an Ultimate Douluo could never reach such a level. I cannot do it, and Tang Chen cannot do it either."
"Only now do I understand the terror of a Million-Year Soul Beast!"
The expressions of the other worshippers instantly turned pale, their faces filled with disbelief.
In their hearts, Qian Daoliu had always been an insurmountable mountain! They had never expected such an answer!
Mighty Lion Douluo swallowed, licking his dry lips.
"That Masked Man's Martial Soul is exactly the same as Xiao Zhi's. They are both Sharingan, yet he can forcibly control a Ferocious Beast of such a terrifying level. We... have ultimately underestimated the Sharingan."
Guang Ling Douluo also nodded solemnly. "And Minato Namikaze's Ninjutsu is elusive and unpredictable, impossible to guard against!"
"Even more outrageous, he can forcibly transfer attacks of destructive magnitude. To use space abilities to such an extent is simply unbelievable."
Qian Daoliu looked up at the Sky Screen in silence for a long time. In the end, he let out a deep sigh, filled with emotion.
"There is always a higher heaven beyond heaven, and always someone greater beyond oneself!"
Inside the imperial hall of Heaven Dou City, the entire palace instantly fell into dead silence.
Every civil and military official stood dumbfounded, their hearts trembling as awe and fear filled their bodies.
Marshal Ge Long's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he cried out.
"How could it be so terrifying? Once such a colossal beast appears, what use would thousands upon thousands of troops be before it? Ordinary armies simply cannot stop it!"
Xue Ye's expression was grave. He let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with deep contemplation.
"It seems we must completely change how we view and respond to the Naruto Continent."
He immediately declared in a deep voice, "Convey my decree. Establish a dedicated Secret Intelligence Bureau at once, specifically to organize and record all information regarding other continents shown by the Sky Screen."
"Ninjutsu, Martial Souls, the combat strength of powerhouses, the structure of factions, battle tactics—record every detail without omission."
"Only by learning the full picture in advance can Heaven Dou avoid being caught at a disadvantage and falling into danger should we truly encounter beings from beyond our domain one day."
The civil and military officials all bowed and shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After a brief pause, Xue Ye casually asked, "Has the Crown Prince entered the palace?"
A minister stepped forward and bowed. "Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is currently in the city, calming the common people who have been thrown into panic by the Sky Screen's strange phenomenon and maintaining public stability."
Xue Ye nodded slightly upon hearing this and said with feeling, "Qinghe is steady and sensible. He truly puts my mind at ease."
Everyone from Shrek raised their heads and stared at the Sky Screen.
When they saw the Tailed Beast Bomb flatten mountain ranges in a single strike, its aftershock shaking the land for a hundred miles, the entire group was left bewildered.
Tang San alone had his eyes suddenly redden. His breathing quickened, and he panted heavily as he fell into extreme disbelief, muttering under his breath.
"Impossible... How could this be... How could it be this powerful?"
The others were all astonished when they saw his reaction.
Dai Mubai hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. "Little San, don't get too worked up. Such terrifying combat strength does not belong to our Douluo Continent in the first place. Maybe we will never encounter it in our lives. There is no need to take it to heart."
Oscar also echoed him, sighing sincerely.
"That's right, Little San! Even if the Tailed Beasts are powerful, isn't there still the Fourth Hokage, who can easily transfer their attacks with space Ninjutsu?"
"That spatial teleportation is elusive and unpredictable, appearing without a trace and leaving without a shadow. It feels far more impressive than your footwork!"
Those words instantly struck Tang San's sore spot.
He abruptly turned his head, his gaze cold and sharp as he stared at Oscar like an enemy. Gritting his teeth, he retorted in a low voice.
"My Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track merely follows a different cultivation path and has a different application! It may not necessarily be inferior!"
