Inside an underground cave.
The appearance of a huge black figure brought a dark atmosphere to the cave.
The distorted figure was even more distorted than the figure of the Box of Ultimate Bliss Goenji had encountered before.
"Is this the Mōryō, the powerful monster sealed away generation after generation in the Land of Demons?"
The three Genin, looking at the enormous figure and the evil aura, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing Goenji standing calmly beneath the Mōryō only made them feel a little better and gave them more confidence.
"With Master Goenji here, this monster is definitely not worth mentioning."
But as he said this, cold sweat dripped down his back.
They had never felt such a strong, dark aura emanating from Master Goenji, which caused their negative emotions to surge.
A wave of negativity washed over the three of them, making them want to throw themselves into the arms of the Mōryō. Then they saw a faint Firelight in the sky, illuminating them.
The darkness in my heart vanished instantly.
Only the enormous sunlight remained.
"It's the Mind Soothing of Master Goenji!"
"Wow, that's amazing! Such a dark and powerful attack! Even Master Goenji's Ninjutsu works. I want to learn that move too."
The three of them greatly admired him.
They had experienced its powerful ability to Mind Soothing before, allowing them to focus on learning Ninjutsu, and it was still working now.
They thought to themselves, "If only I knew this move, then I could use it myself instead of having Master Goenji use it."
"Destroying the world? No need. The Shinobi World will be mine from now on. You're only fit to watch me unify the Shinobi World."
Goenji ignored Mōryō's words, his Sharingan gaze fixed on the black figure, a broad smile spreading across his face.
Because Goenji saw endless Chakra in the Mōryō.
Of course, it's also limited!
The main point is that we observed that the Mōryō can quickly recover Chakra; it's not inexhaustible, but it's still higher than the Three-Tails 'Chakra that we saw at the Goenji.
It really is Chakra creature, and one that originated in the Shinobi World at that.
It Chakra Aggregate condensed from the pure negative energy of heaven and earth, unlike the Tailed Beast created by the Tailed Beast of Sage of Six Paths using Yin–Yang Release.
It's not about which is stronger, but rather that they are essentially the same.
The Mōryō also possesses characteristics of Tailed Beast.
This perfectly matches the requirements of Jinchuriki.
Upon hearing this, the Mōryō looked at the figure radiating Firelight from the Goenji and said, "With your small stature, even if the Sage of Six Paths appeared here, he would be eating ashes. How dare you speak so arrogantly."
The black tentacles, regardless of whether Goenji was his savior, directly coiled towards Goenji, their black aura moving extremely fast.
It seemed they were about to get entangled with Goenji.
"Fire Release Chakra Mode"
"Fire Release: Fire Energy Zero Breakthrough"
Goenji instantly burst into flames, and Flame Jewel emerged from his forehead. Facing the attack of the Mōryō, he immediately used his ultimate move to block the tentacles.
The black tentacles, facing Goenji's Fire Energy Zero Breakthrough, quickly twisted and disappeared, and were rapidly absorbed by Goenji.
All the Mōryō saw was the flickering Firelight in front of Goenji, and how his Chakra rapidly disappeared as the tentacles approached. They realized this was Gouenji's method of absorbing Chakra, and that Gouenji was trying to pull the tentacles back.
It turned out to be completely ineffective.
"Don't waste your time. You can't break free. As long as you are energy, you have high and low temperatures. Fire Energy Zero Breakthrough can absorb you. Moreover, you are Chakra Aggregate. My Ninjutsu is naturally your nemesis until I absorb you to the full."
But that's impossible, because I'll use the absorbed Chakra and then release it in other ways; it can't be filled up completely."
Goenji chuckled; this Mōryō was far too easy to defeat.
Having lived this long, I'm practically an idiot.
Before long, tiny runes appeared on Goenji's belly, first in the shape of the Four Symbols, and then the Four Symbols overlapped again, turning into the shape of the Eight Trigrams.
A large amount of Chakra surged in, and the Eight Trigrams Seal quickly unfolded, binding the Mōryō to it.
"What happened?"
What are you going to do?
Feeling his body slipping out of control, as if it were being sealed away, Mōryō was completely bewildered. What was going on? Was he about to be sealed again? And this seal gave Mōryō a bad feeling.
This is slightly different from the previous shrine maiden seal.
Within the underground space, countless dark energies gradually contracted. Under the massive Eight Trigrams Seal released by Goenji, the runes completely enveloped the Mōryō, and the dark energies were absorbed by the runes and returned entirely to the Mōryō.
Whoosh--!
The three Genin on the periphery saw the Mōryō extend its black tentacles towards Goenji and were worried about whether Goenji could handle it. Then they saw Goenji burst into Firelight and then entangle the Mōryō's tentacles.
It was engulfed in Firelight, with a Flame Jewel appearing above its head, and different flames swirling around its limbs, yet it remained unharmed.
"That's amazing!"
"Has this the strongest power we've ever witnessed from Master Goenji?"
"That Mōryō was completely powerless to fight back!"
The three then saw the Mōryō, which was being rapidly bound by the Eight Trigrams Seal of the Goenji, and immediately showed expressions of admiration.
Finally, a voice saying "This is impossible" reached the ears of the three.
The Mōryō vanished from their sight.
"What happened? Goenji released the Mōryō, but then sealed it away again?"
There was one thing they didn't understand: that was a seal, wasn't it? They had some knowledge of such things.
Why did Goenji do this?
"I understand. Look at Lord Goenji, and that altar."
A person pointed in the direction of the altar.
The altar seal was missing, Mōryō were gone too.
Goenji lowered his stance, not even drawing his sword, and walked towards them, saying, "Our mission is complete. Let's go back."
It was indeed over. The Mōryō had all been absorbed into his body. Su Chen could already sense that the Mōryō still wanted to break through his Eight Trigrams Seal and escape.
However, the Sealing Technique is ultimately a limited version; the Mōryō can only cause trouble within the seal inside his body, and it's completely useless.
Goenji didn't rush to sense the power of the seal, nor did he rush to control the Chakra of the Mōryō. These things take time, and the priestess is probably already on her way here.
So he had to leave first, not wanting to argue.
Really.
Not long after Goenji and the others left, the Land of Demons priestess arrived in this space. Upon seeing the vanished seal and the disappeared Mōryō, the entire group was shocked.
"What happened? Where did the Mōryō go?"
After the priestess returned, she had a bad feeling; an image entered her mind—a prophecy.
In the scene, the Mōryō disappeared and was controlled by a figure.
So she quickly returned to the place where the Mōryō was sealed and witnessed this scene.
