All Descend

After Urashiki was annihilated, the aura of Lin Chen's awakened Six Paths power did not completely fade. Instead, like an invisible signal, it pierced through the clouds, broke through the atmosphere, and reached distant planes beyond the heavens.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan, the supreme race that spanned countless worlds and plundered planetary chakra, had finally been thoroughly alarmed.

In less than half a day.

The sky over the entire ninja world gradually darkened.

The once clear azure heavens were covered by layers of ink-black clouds. Eerie purple lightning flickered within them, the temperature plummeted madly, and the howling cold wind cut across the skin like blades.

Not just Konoha.

The entire ninja world—five great nations, minor nations, borders, seas, deep mountains, swamps...

Every place was shrouded beneath this terrifying pressure from beyond the heavens.

The earth trembled faintly, rivers ceased their flow, birds and beasts scattered in panic, and all things fell silent in a deathly stillness as though the end of the world had arrived.

Within Konoha.

The villagers who had just regained their calm turned pale once more. Their bodies trembled as they raised their heads toward the sky, their eyes filled with despair.

"W-What is that...?"

"More terrifying than that monster from before... There are so many auras!"

Minato Namikaze's face stiffened, and every bit of chakra in his body was tensed to its limit. He could clearly sense that there was not merely one terrifying aura above the sky, but an entire group of beings far surpassing Urashiki!

Fugaku led all the powerful Uchiha at the front. Everyone had activated their Sharingan, yet they could not even make out the shadows in the sky. They could only feel those world-destroying auras, enough to make their souls tremble.

"Not one person... A whole group..."

"The Ōtsutsuki Clan... Their true main force has arrived!"

The four Kage and the leaders of the various villages had yet to leave Konoha. Upon feeling the pressure from the heavens, their legs went weak and their faces turned ashen.

Onoki's voice was hoarse as his entire body shook.

"It's over... Is the ninja world... going to be destroyed...?"

The Raikage clenched his teeth as Lightning Release erupted around him, yet he did not even have the courage to raise his head and look directly at the sky.

"Beings of that level... We aren't even qualified to be cannon fodder..."

The entire ninja world, with its billions of living beings, prostrated themselves on the ground and trembled.

Before a race from beyond the heavens, every powerhouse in the ninja world was like dust.

And the source of it all pointed to one person—

Uchiha Lin Chen.

At the very center of the dark clouds.

Space tore apart, shattered, and collapsed layer by layer.

Tall, cold figures clad in divine robes and crowned with sharp horns slowly stepped out of the rifts in space-time. They floated above the nine heavens, gazing down indifferently upon the entire ninja world.

The three at the forefront possessed the most terrifying auras.

On the left stood a man with a cold expression and Rinnegan eyes. Massive weapons surrounded him, and his entire body radiated destruction and tyranny—Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki.

On the right stood a man with white hair draped over his shoulders, arrogant eyes, and a massive scythe in hand. His chakra was as vast and heavy as an abyss, like the descent of a god of death—Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki.

At the center stood the tallest, most imposing figure, so terrifying that even heaven and earth seemed to suffocate in his presence.

His eyes were closed, and not a trace of chakra leaked from his body. Yet merely standing there caused the space across the entire ninja world to twist and collapse without end.

He was—

The supreme ruler of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's descent, the legitimate heir of Ōtsutsuki Hamura's lineage, an inspector of the heavens, and a harvester of chakra.

Behind him stood more than ten direct-line Ōtsutsuki warriors in neat formation. Every one of them possessed terrifying combat strength no weaker than Urashiki's.

This was not a vanguard.

Not a probe.

Not a sneak attack.

This was the full descent of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, here to trample the ninja world flat!

Momoshiki slowly lowered his head. His golden eyes swept over the earth as his cold, merciless voice resounded throughout the ninja world.

"Lowly inferior planet, you dared to kill a member of my clan, devour Ōtsutsuki blood, and profane the majesty of the heavens."

"Urashiki died well. He led us to find you, you blood-stealing ant."

Kinshiki's voice was deep and overbearing.

"Hand over all chakra, offer up the tailed beasts, cripple your own power, and kneel to await death."

"Then the lives of all beings in the ninja world may be spared."

The supreme ruler at the center kept his eyes closed and remained silent. Yet his aura alone had brought the entire ninja world to the brink of collapse.

He had no need to speak.

Simply standing there made him invincible.

The entire ninja world fell into dead silence.

Every ninja, villager, powerhouse, and Kage-level expert was consumed by despair.

The gap... was too vast.

So vast that not even the thought of resistance could arise.

So vast that one glance revealed nothing but destruction.

Minato Namikaze gripped his kunai tightly, his body trembling without end. He wanted to protect the village, but he knew full well that he could not block even a single strand of the enemy's aura.

"Lord Lin Chen..."

"Only you..."

Everyone's gaze converged upon that solitary yet upright figure.

Lin Chen stood alone at the very front of Konoha.

His robes fluttered fiercely in the wind, his posture straight, and he did not retreat a single step.

He raised his head toward the entire descending Ōtsutsuki force above the nine heavens. There was no fear or panic in his eyes, only cold indifference.

Six Paths power flowed quietly through his body. The Rinne-Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan turned silently, Yin-Yang black spheres slowly revolved around him, and a Six Paths halo faintly appeared beneath his feet.

He was the ninja world's only Six Paths god.

The sovereign of the ninja world.

The entire village's final hope.

Lin Chen slowly raised his right hand and pointed at the Ōtsutsuki powerhouses in the sky. His voice was calm, yet it pierced through the gale, resounded through heaven and earth, and fell into the ears of every living being.

"The Ōtsutsuki Clan crossed the heavens only to plunder chakra and enslave all living beings."

"You see all things as ants, planets as food, and lives as worthless grass."

"You run rampant through the heavens, slaughter countless lives, and have committed sins so monstrous they cannot be recorded."

Momoshiki sneered, his gaze filled with utter contempt.

"A lowly insect dares judge us?"

"You devoured my clan's bloodline, a crime deserving ten thousand deaths. Today, I will skin you, tear out your tendons, strip away all your power, and scatter your soul."

The weapons around Kinshiki roared as killing intent surged toward the heavens.

"Enough nonsense. Crush them directly and harvest all chakra in the ninja world."

The gathered Ōtsutsuki warriors behind them unleashed their auras at the same time.

Boom—!!!

Heaven and earth collapsed, the dark clouds rolled backward, vast stretches of space shattered, and terrifying power crashed down upon the entire ninja world like a tsunami.

Konoha's walls instantly split apart, the ground caved in, houses teetered on the verge of collapse, and villagers screamed and wept in utter despair.

"It's over... Everything is over..."

"The ninja world is finished..."

The four Kage closed their eyes, their faces bitter and powerless to resist.

Just as that destructive blow was about to fall, just as the entire ninja world was about to be completely destroyed.

Lin Chen moved.

He did not run, form hand seals, or roar.

He merely took one step forward.

Boom—!!!

In the truest sense, his Six Paths power was fully unleashed!

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye and the Rinne-Sharingan in his right erupted with brilliant light at the same time. Golden radiance shot into the sky, nine Yin-Yang Release black spheres floated around him, and the Six Paths halo fully unfurled.

An aura more terrifying, more domineering, and more divine than the entire descending Ōtsutsuki army combined erupted from Lin Chen's body.

With the might of one man, he directly faced the entire Ōtsutsuki army from beyond the heavens!

"The ninja world."

"I, Lin Chen, protect it."

Those few words.

Heaven and earth froze, the raging winds came to an abrupt halt, and the dark clouds shattered.

The pressure from beyond the heavens, enough to destroy the ninja world, was forcibly blocked in the sky by Lin Chen's aura. It could not advance even an inch!

Everyone below stared in stunned disbelief, their faces blank as they forgot to cry and forgot to fear.

Minato Namikaze's entire body shook.

"Th-This... What kind of power is this...?"

Tears streamed down Fugaku's face as he dropped to his knees.

"My lord is invincible!!"

The entire village fell to its knees in unison, roaring madly as hope rekindled in their eyes.

"Lord Lin Chen!!"

"God of the ninja world!!"

"Protect us!!"

Above the heavens.

The Ōtsutsuki supreme ruler, who had remained silent with his eyes closed, finally slowly opened them.

A pair of cold, hollow, supreme vertical pupils locked tightly onto Lin Chen.

For the first time, he spoke. His voice boomed like the Heavenly Dao itself, shattering the firmament.

"You possess... a complete Six Paths bloodline..."

"And... Kaguya's aura."

"As well as the power of laws that devours my clan."

Momoshiki and Kinshiki's expressions changed drastically. Their previous contempt vanished, replaced by utmost gravity.

They finally realized it.

The youth before them was not a lowly ant.

Not an inferior ninja.

Not prey that could be harvested at will.

He was—

A true Six Paths god capable of confronting the entire descending Ōtsutsuki army head-on!

Lin Chen stepped through the void, ascending toward the heavens one step at a time.

His figure was small, yet his bearing towered between heaven and earth.

Alone, he faced the strongest army of the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan.

One man, against the heavens.

"The ninja world is not your hunting ground."

"I am not Urashiki."

"You descended today not to harvest."

Lin Chen's icy gaze swept across Momoshiki, Kinshiki, the supreme ruler, and every Ōtsutsuki warrior.

"You came to—die."

As his words fell.

Lin Chen's figure suddenly vanished.

Space collapsed, Kamui erupted, and Six Paths power swept across the nine heavens.

The ultimate battle had officially begun!

This battle would decide the life and death of the ninja world.

This battle would determine the order of the heavens.

This battle would forge Lin Chen's name as the one and only god for all eternity!
