Uchiha Kei stopped and reached out to feel around in front of him.
The initial impression upon handling it was simply one thing.
Hard!
Unparalleled hardness!
Uchiha Kei even drew his Ninja Blade from behind, unleashing his Will of the Sword at its maximum, which swirled around the blade.
A powerful slash came down, accompanied by a whistling wind!
"Snap!"
Amidst Uchiha Kei's shocked expression, the invincible Ninja Blade...
It snapped in two!
The terrifying recoil force caused Uchiha Kei to release his grip on the sword hilt, and blood immediately gushed from his tiger's mouth.
Ignoring the throbbing pain in his hand, Uchiha Kei couldn't help but swear.
"Grass!"
The Ninja Blade he used was no ordinary Ninja Blade; it was a high-end product with a lot of advanced technology, developed with Orochimaru's assistance!
First, its material is a meteorite from outer space, which has been refined through countless processes to remove impurities, making it so hard that even the fire of Amaterasu cannot burn it.
Secondly, its forging technique is the most advanced in the current Shinobi World. It took a hundred craftsmen a month to barely forge its prototype.
Finally, Orochimaru, referring to the method of making Six Paths Tools, gave it a final forging.
Thus, the Ninja Blade was handed to him.
Even if it can't compare to the multifunctional Six Paths Tools, Uchiha Kei was at least somewhat confident in its durability.
What about now?
A full-force attack, fueled by unwavering willpower, shattered it in an instant?
Unconsciously, Uchiha Kei reached out and touched the front again.
A hard object stood firmly in front of him, and the left and right sides were also blocked by this substance.
The cold touch made Uchiha Kei shiver involuntarily.
You can't feel anything when you touch it, but if you place your hand on the material for a long time, the coldness feels like it's seeping into your bones!
Even...
To his surprise, Uchiha Kei found that a strange sense of fear had inexplicably arisen in his heart.
This feeling gave him the urge to escape as soon as possible!
Will it affect a person's thoughts?
Uchiha Kei lowered his hand, lost in thought.
As he was thinking, Uchiha Kei suddenly lit up.
Its extreme hardness can affect other people's mental state!
If such material were used to make Ninja Blade, wouldn't it be possible to infuse the blade's aura with mental attacks?
If that's the case, wouldn't the power of his blade's amplification be taken to a whole new level?
Thinking this, Uchiha Kei's outstretched hand became gentler in its caress.
Mine!
They're all mine!
Uchiha Kei was overjoyed.
"Buzz!"
A spiritual vibration emanated from between his brows, and a glimmer of light instantly appeared there.
Suddenly, Uchiha Kei's vision brightened.
Wisps of black mist swirled around him, flowing slowly.
Each flow brings a cool sensation to the touch.
The source of the black mist was the substance his palm touched.
The black background, with its eerie yet rhythmic patterns, exudes a cool, tactile feel.
This must be the Seed of the Divine Prototype, right?
With that thought in mind, Uchiha Kei tried to move the light spot with his mind.
The point of light that had been hovering in front of him actually moved slowly toward the black substance in front of him under his will.
The moment the light collided with the black matter, a feeling of weakness instantly entered Uchiha Kei's mind.
Uchiha Kei frowned.
Moving the light spot consumes a lot of Chakra.
Uchiha Kei temporarily suppressed his weakness and controlled the light spot to continue penetrating deeper.
"Buzz."
The light spot did not continue forward this time, or perhaps the black matter restricted its path.
A faint halo began to spread from the light spot and seeped into the black substance.
Uchiha Kei observed intently.
A moment later, Uchiha Kei swiftly reached his hand under the spot of light.
A speck of black powder fell into his palm.
Black substance...
It was crushed by the Prototype Seed!
Uchiha Kei was overjoyed.
The Will of the Sword was powerless against the black substance, and a sense of helplessness did indeed flash through Uchiha Kei's mind.
From the moment he drew the sword, the Blade Intent had always been an invincible force in his hands.
This is especially true after the Blade Intent is upgraded to the Will of the Sword!
Invincible, unstoppable!
But the black substance before them was the only thing that could frustrate the Will of the Sword.
When the Will of the Sword struck the black substance, it was like mud sinking into the ocean; not only did the Ninja Blade break, but even the sword's aura instantly dissipated.
Right now, the Seed of the Divine Prototype is actually effective against the black substance—how could this not make Uchiha Kei happy?
Uchiha Kei continued to control the Prototype Seed, gradually seeping it into the black substance.
One hour later.
Uchiha Kei, panting heavily, wearily retracted the Prototype Seed back to his brow.
Darkness enveloped the surroundings once again.
Uchiha Kei rubbed his throbbing temples hard and sighed helplessly.
It has been confirmed that the Prototype Seed can indeed dissolve the black substance.
The problem is...
The melting rate is just too slow!
It's infuriatingly slow!
Can you believe it? In just one hour, the black substance melted down to the size of a mung bean!
At most, it's only one millimeter!
What's even more despairing is that the black substance is like a mountain peak, neither its height nor its width can be seen!
To melt away a path large enough for a person to walk on, at the speed of Prototype Seed, it would take about a month to melt away one meter!
This is even after he's worked non-stop all day!
In fact, an hour was already his limit.
If we continue, I'm afraid I'll fall into a coma.
What to do?
Uchiha Kei had a bit of a headache.
According to the mission description, he had to clear a ten-meter radius of black matter within 30 days!
Let alone 30 days, even at the rate of Prototype Seed, it wouldn't take 300 days!
The thought of the punishment he would receive if the mission failed gave Uchiha Kei a headache.
Dog system!
Uchiha Kei cursed under his breath, trying to compose himself, when a barely audible sound reached his ears.
"Jingle."
The sound was crisp and melodious, like a wind chime being tinkled in the wind.
Despite hearing such a beautiful voice, Uchiha Kei's body froze instantly.
After the Prototype Seed appeared, he used the light to carefully observe everything around him.
Besides the black matter, he was the only living being left.
At first I was a little puzzled; didn't the dog system say there was danger?
Although his work efficiency was somewhat slow, he didn't actually notice any danger.
However, this sudden sound immediately reminded him of the danger the dog system had warned him about!
"Who!"
The Prototype Seed appeared before his eyes in an instant, illuminating the entire scene within a one-meter radius around him.
In the light, apart from him, only the black substance slowly emitted a cold aura and released wisps of black mist.
It was pitch black and extremely quiet.
It was as if the voice he had just heard was a hallucination.
However, Uchiha Kei can assure you that the voice he just heard was absolutely real.
"Jingle."
Another crisp sound rang out, Uchiha Kei quickly adjusted the direction of the Prototype Seed, pointing it towards the source of the sound.
The area within a meter to the left was instantly illuminated, and everything around came into Uchiha Kei's view.
Similarly, most of it is cold, black matter.
The only difference.
On the black substance, a small insect was perched, greedily sucking up the black mist released from it.
Danger!
The moment Uchiha Kei saw the little insect, he felt a chill run down his spine!
This feeling...
It's a sense of crisis!
It's even more intense than when facing Big Thunder!
