Mysterious Black Shadow

Hozuki Dark Moon and Xue Tahai were completely stunned.

"Hyuga Tennin actually..." Xue Tahai's voice trembled. "He was hiding such power?"

Hozuki Dark Moon swallowed hard. "Th-this can't be real, right?"

Qin Mo knelt on one knee, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His clothes had long since been torn to shreds, exposing a body covered in wounds.

"Cough, cough..." Qin Mo struggled to his feet. "So this is... the power of the Reincarnation Eye?"

Hyuga Tennin floated in the air, his silver-white Reincarnation Eye looking down coldly at Qin Mo. "It's over, Uchiha brat."

"Banshō Ten'in!"

A terrifying gravitational force erupted without warning, pulling Qin Mo uncontrollably toward Hyuga Tennin!

"Argh!"

Hyuga Tennin's hand clamped tightly around Qin Mo's throat.

"Your eyes..." Hyuga Tennin sneered. "I'll be taking them!"

At that critical moment—

"Buzz—!"

Qin Mo's Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly trembled violently, the pattern in his pupils changing frantically!

"What?!" Hyuga Tennin's pupils contracted sharply.

Qin Mo's eyes began evolving at this very moment between life and death!

Against a crimson circular base, the pupils at the center were three nested, pitch-black concentric rings.

Six sickle-shaped tomoe encircled the outer ring, their blades extending outward into sharp, flame-like forks.

"This is... the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?" A tempestuous shock surged through Hyuga Tennin's heart. This is impossible!

"Boom—!"

Chakra several times more powerful than before erupted from Qin Mo's body, blasting Hyuga Tennin away!

Qin Mo's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan shone with an eerie light. "Now... it's my turn."

"Complete Body Susanoo!"

"Rumble—!"

A Complete Body Susanoo, even larger and more solid than before, rose from the ground!

This Susanoo was covered head to toe in pitch-black armor, six pairs of flaming wings spread behind its back, and it wielded a massive sword wreathed in black flames and lightning!

"Th-this..." Hozuki Dark Moon's legs went weak. "A monster..."

Xue Tahai collapsed directly onto the ground. "What... kind of existence did we provoke...?"

"Amaterasu: Divine Flame Prison Slash!"

The colossal black sword came cleaving down, carrying world-destroying black flames.

Hyuga Tennin's silver-white chakra formed seven layers of diamond-shaped barriers before him.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

"Bang!"

The instant the fist shadow collided with the blade, the entire snowfield suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Then, all the snow within a thousand meters vaporized, revealing the black frozen earth beneath.

Hozuki Dark Moon's right arm was instantly carbonized by the shockwave, while the ice fortress wall Xue Tahai desperately formed with hand seals shattered like thin paper.

"Puh!" Silver-blue tears of blood flowed from Hyuga Tennin's Reincarnation Eye.

The armor of Qin Mo's Susanoo was peeling away, but an even fiercer light burned within those Eternal eyes.

Hyuga Tennin gritted his teeth and rose to his feet, his Reincarnation Eye flashing wildly. "Don't get cocky! The power of the Reincarnation Eye is far more than this!"

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

"Rumble!!!"

An enormously long golden sword of light slashed down with the force to destroy heaven and earth. Qin Mo's Complete Body Susanoo was instantly split in two like papier-mâché beneath that terrifying blow!

"Cough... ah!" Qin Mo spat out another mouthful of blood and was hurled heavily into a mountain wall hundreds of meters away.

"Hahaha..." Hyuga Tennin laughed maniacally, but his laughter abruptly stopped.

His body began trembling uncontrollably. His silver-white Reincarnation Eye flickered erratically before ultimately regressing into ordinary Byakugan!

"No!!!" Hyuga Tennin touched his eyes in horror. "Why is my Reincarnation Eye gone?!"

In the distance, Qin Mo struggled out of the rubble. "Your power... was borrowed, wasn't it?"

Hyuga Tennin's expression changed drastically. "Y-you... what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"For the Byakugan to evolve into a Reincarnation Eye, one must possess the bloodline of the Otsutsuki Clan." Qin Mo slowly straightened up. "And you... don't meet that condition at all."

"Shut up!" Hyuga Tennin roared and tried to use Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion again, only to discover that he had barely any chakra left.

"Give me power!!"

Hyuga Tennin roared hysterically, both hands tightly clutching his own throat as though trying to drag something out of his body.

Yet the only response was a cold, sinister sneer from within his body. "Trash... your value has been exhausted."

"No! You can't do this! We agreed—"

"You're noisy." A cold glint flashed through Qin Mo's eyes, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Before Hyuga Tennin could react, a heavy punch had already slammed viciously into his abdomen!

"Boom!!!"

Hyuga Tennin flew backward, crashing through three rock walls in succession before coming to a stop.

At that moment, a black shadow seeped out of Hyuga Tennin's body and swiftly burrowed underground, disappearing without a trace.

"It ran pretty fast." Qin Mo cast a cold glance at the ground, but he could no longer detect any trace of it.

Within the dense forest in the distance, the black shadow raced underground at top speed.

"Something's wrong... This is far too wrong!"

A brat not even ten years old had not only awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Even more terrifying, the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion possessed enough power to destroy an entire city, yet that brat had taken the blow head-on and suffered only minor injuries?

The black shadow recalled the pattern of Qin Mo's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. That was definitely not the state of someone who had just evolved.

And the proficiency with which he wielded his ocular power was simply... at the level of absolute mastery!

"Could he also be... No, impossible..."

The black shadow cast a grim look back and decided to avoid this variable for the time being.

It had expended too much power within Hyuga Tennin just now and had to replenish it as soon as possible.

"Mother..." the black shadow muttered. "It seems the plan needs to be adjusted..."

At the same time, the heavily injured Hyuga Tennin struggled out of the ruins, his face filled with madness. "Power... where is my power...?"

Qin Mo approached slowly, his icy eyes fixed on him. "Looks like your 'ally' abandoned you."

"No... no way..." Hyuga Tennin suddenly sprang up. "Gentle Fist: Mountain-Breaking Strike!"

"Bang!"

Qin Mo caught the dying attack with one hand, while his other hand pierced straight through Hyuga Tennin's chest!

"You..." Hyuga Tennin's eyes widened as blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Rest easy." Qin Mo leaned close and whispered into his ear. "Your Byakugan is mine now!"

As Hyuga Tennin's eyes were gouged out, Hozuki Dark Moon and Xue Tahai, who had been watching from afar, completely broke down.

Qin Mo turned and swept a cold gaze over them. "You're next."
