Lightning Release: Wrathful Thunder Heavenly Punishment!
The next moment, the blade pierced through the smoke and dust, heading straight for Sasuke's throat, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to react.
Sasuke finally moved.
He neither dodged nor parried, but instead used the pressure of this fatal blow to complete the final seal.
In Setsuna, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be completely ignited.
Thick, dark clouds surged violently, and countless bolts of lightning flashed from the depths of the clouds, illuminating the entire Training Ground with cold blue lightning.
Lightning surged wildly from the cracks in the ground, the ionization sounds in the air were sharp and piercing, the barrier light curtain was pressed almost to the ground by the lightning, and the entire valley trembled slightly amidst the thunder.
The charging of Lightning Release Heavenly Punishment of Furious Thunder has finally reached its final stage.
Sasuke stood in the middle of the smoke and dust, covered in blood, his right hand raised high, a bolt of lightning about to explode forming in his palm.
The clone's blade was already inches away from him, and would pierce his throat in the next second.
Sasuke's eyes showed no fear, only extreme calmness and unwavering determination.
He's waiting.
Wait until the thunderous pressure completely crushes heaven and earth, wait until the thunderclouds completely lock onto the battlefield, wait until that forbidden thunder technique completes its final detonation.
The game-winning shot hadn't even been delivered yet, but everyone already understood—
The next second, this valley will be completely swallowed up by a bolt of lightning powerful enough to tear the heavens and earth apart.
An intense, suffocating tension permeated the entire valley, and the arcs of lightning traversing the sky and earth had reached a critical point.
The dark clouds that seemed to sink into the sky were no longer just a prelude to oppression; every inch of the clouds was filled with violent and turbulent Lightning Release Chakra. The entire sky seemed to be completely locked down by an invisible force, and everything fell silent, except for the sharp, hissing sound of ionized air, which echoed jarringly between every inch of heaven and earth.
Just as the clone's blade, carrying the force of certain death, was about to pierce through his body, Uchiha Sasuke, on Setsuna verge of death, relied on the ultimate instinct honed by his flesh and blood to suddenly twist his waist and slide his body along the ground.
Call out--!
The cold, sharp Chakra Blade slashed fiercely across his back, tearing large pieces of fabric and carving a long, scalding, and hideous gash into his flesh. The splattered blood droplets were instantly vaporized into fine blood mist by the surrounding violent lightning energy.
The excruciating pain swept through his entire body, almost tearing his consciousness apart, but the stubbornness and clarity in Sasuke's eyes remained undiminished, even growing more intense.
This transformation was the result of countless defeats and countless rebirths. On the brink of life and death, he had long since learned to ignore the pain and abandon cowardice, leaving only the purest fighting spirit and determination.
Taking advantage of the split-second gap in his evasive maneuver, Sasuke his knees to the ground, his hands suddenly clasped together, his fingers interlocked, forming the final seal of Lightning Release Heavenly Punishment of Furious Thunder.
The next second, the long-dormant Chakra surged out of control!
The meridians in his body had already been overdrawn countless times by the high-intensity special training. At this moment, they were all filled, washed, and burned by the violent Lightning Release Chakra. Every inch of flesh and every cell was working overtime.
The remaining Chakra burned without reservation, shooting upwards along his arms and resonating perfectly with the thunderclouds that had been gathering in the sky for so long.
"Lightning Release: Heavenly Punishment of Furious Thunder!!!"
The boy's hoarse, yet powerful roar shattered the valley, carrying with it all the forbearance, frustration, resentment, and obsession he had endured for the past two months. It pierced through the thunder and wind, resounding throughout the four islands!
In an instant, the thick, dark thunderclouds overhead completely collapsed and exploded!
Boundless, pale white lightning broke through the clouds, like a sudden, world-ending celestial light falling. It was no longer a series of scattered, wandering arcs of light, but transformed into a continuous, thick, and majestic sea of lightning, crashing down with a deafening roar.
The blinding lightning instantly illuminated the entire Origin Island, even extending to cover the entire sky above the three adjacent affiliated islands of Spirit Awakening, Sourceguard, and Hillguard.
The once clear sky over the four islands was now completely stained by extremely pale lightning, as bright as day, but without any warmth, only a world-ending chill and tyranny.
Click--!!!
The deafening thunderclaps continued unabated, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the mountains and seas to shake.
The double-layered Sealing Barrier, which had originally firmly imprisoned the battlefield and possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities, was torn apart, shattered, and collapsed instantly under the onslaught of the extreme lightning, not even lasting for half a second!
The incredibly sturdy barrier shattered inch by inch, turning into countless pale blue specks of light that completely dissipated into the raging sea of lightning.
Freed from the barrier's restraint, the endless lightning surged unimpeded, instantly engulfing the entire thousand-square-meter Training Ground. The raging lightning power raged and rampaged wildly.
The hard, flat training ground instantly cracked and collapsed, with countless ravines crisscrossing and bottomless. Gravel, soil, and hardened rocks that had been tempered over time were all vaporized, torn apart, and swept away by the lightning.
The Training Ground, which had stood intact through countless intense battles, was now a complete inferno of thunder. All the furnishings, traces, and terrain within the grounds were swallowed up, smoothed over, and annihilated by the raging sea of lightning.
In the instant of the devastating collapse of the sea of lightning, the Wood Release Clone in the center of the battlefield finally showed signs of life.
Previously, no matter how fierce the attack or how restrained it was, the Mangekyō Sharingan its eyes.
Susanoo is the embodiment of the caster's soul and Chakra. Each Uchiha Susanoo has its own unique form, aura, and spirit. This clone originated from Natsu, and the Susanoo activated at this moment is entirely Natsu's own, without any Susanoo of anyone else's aura.
Without the slightest hesitation, the clone's eerie Mangekyo Sharingan patterns spun rapidly in its eyes, a cold light surged from within them, and a massive burst of Chakra exploded forth!
Buzz--!!!
A dark golden, Semi-Complete Susanoo from the ground, its massive, skeletal body standing in the center of the sea of lightning, its skeletal outlines and the patterns of Chakra flow clearly visible.
Surrounded by a thick, restrained aura of dark gold Chakra, Natsu's immense pressure suddenly spread out, directly confronting the world-destroying thunder that was pouring down.
The Setsuna Susanoo shape, the clone instantly completed hand Hand Seals, activating both techniques simultaneously for both offense and defense.
Deep within the earth, endless wood-attribute Chakra surged wildly, and countless thick, resilient, verdant vines burst forth from the soil, intertwining and piling up densely, transforming into a thick, continuous vine barrier that tightly bound all directions;
At the same time, the power of the rock and soil surged and rose, and the surrounding rubble and earth gathered and solidified, forming a giant, thick rock shield that stood tall and imposing, creating a triple defense of wood, earth, and bone, attempting to withstand this forbidden heavenly punishment head-on.
