"Boom--!"
The huge explosion echoed in every corner of Konoha, and black smoke billowed up, blocking the afternoon sun.
In the arena, the screams of the audience mixed with the sounds of ninjas fighting.
And in this chaotic Shura field, there is a figure going against the flow of people, heading towards the place where the Chakra fluctuations are the most violent and dangerous - the top roof of the central stand.
"Ahem... really, a good exam must turn into a terrorist attack."
Ye Tian was leaning on the cane that had been coated with pulp. It looked like he was stumbling, but in fact, every step was stepping on the nodes of the building structure, using the force to leap forward at an astonishing speed. He covered his chest and climbed "hardly" while thinking in his mind.
"That purple rectangular barrier over there... you can smell a burning smell from a long distance away."
Ye Tian raised his head and looked at the huge barrier above the roof that exuded a faint purple light - [Four Violet Flames Formation].
In his Divine Sense perception, the barrier was not just a wall, it completely cut off the spatial connection between the inside and outside. The purple flame flowing on the barrier wall was not an ordinary Fire Release, but a highly compressed "Spirit Fire" with strong corrosive properties and barrier properties.
"If I read it correctly, the Sound Ninja standing in the four corners are burning their own life force and Chakra to maintain this formation."
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, "This is a life-threatening trap. If I want to break it from the outside, unless I have Golden Core stage's cultivation level and can break through all kinds of magic with one force, I have to find the eyes of the formation - that is, the four casters."
"But... why should I break it?"
The corner of Ye Tian's mouth raised a smile that resembled watching a drama, "The 'Shinobi Hero' inside is preparing to teach his good apprentice a lesson called 'death'."
On top of the roof.
Several ANBU responsible for protecting Hokage are anxiously surrounding Beyond the World.
"Lord Hokage is trapped inside!"
"Damn it! Break it!"
A ANBU wearing a cat-face mask pulled out a long knife and roared towards the purple light curtain. His desire for a savior made him lose his mind.
"Don't touch!"
Anbu Captain was about to stop drinking, but it was already too late.
The moment the tip of ANBU's knife was about to touch the barrier.
"Whoops--"
A seemingly inconspicuous stone, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, hit the wrist of ANBU accurately.
"Dang!"
ANBU's wrist went numb, and the long knife flew out of his hand, spinning and hitting the barrier.
Bah--!
The moment the long sword made of fine steel came into contact with the purple light curtain, it was like a candle thrown into a furnace, instantly turning into a wisp of blue smoke, leaving not even a slag behind.
"Hiss..."
ANBU present all took a breath of cold air. If that hand had been stretched out just now, it would not only be the knife that had turned to ashes.
"Who?!" Anbu Captain turned around suddenly and looked behind him warily.
I saw a young man wearing a Genin vest with a face as pale as paper, struggling to climb up the eaves, holding a cane in his hand, and looking like he was about to die.
"Ahem... Brothers, calm down."
Ye Tian leaned weakly on the tiles and pointed at the terrifying barrier, "That thing... ahem... but it can even burn the soul of 'Life-Severing Formation'. You rush in and kill people, it doesn't make any sense."
"Are you... that candidate Ye Tian?"
Anbu Captain recognized this young man who was known as "sickly" in the village, and frowned, "This is not the place Genin should come! Leave quickly!"
"I want to leave too... but there are fights everywhere down there. With my body like this, I will be trampled to death if I go down there."
Ye Tian shamelessly moved behind a chimney with a wide view and found a comfortable position to sit down. "This is the safest place. And... as a member of Konoha, I also want to witness the battle of Lord Hokage."
In fact, what Ye Tian is thinking is:
"The Kage Level battle at such a close range, the spilled ninjutsu aftermath, the falling First Hokage's Cells debris, and even the Impure World Reincarnation dust... those are all 'treasures of heaven and earth' in Cultivator's eyes! It would be a crime not to pick them up!"
Although the ANBUs felt that this Genin was a nuisance, the situation was critical at the moment and they did not bother to chase him away. They could only continue to stare nervously at the inside of the barrier.
Within the boundary.
Orochimaru, who was originally disguised as Kazekage, finally took off the disguise on his face, revealing a young but feminine and unfamiliar face.
"Teacher Sarutobi, long time no see." Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and full of magnetism.
"Orochimaru..." Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at this completely unfamiliar face, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "You actually... really completed that technique? Living Corpse Reincarnation?"
"Hehehe... In order to gain eternal life and to learn all the ninjutsu in the world, this is just a necessary price."
Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes full of enthusiasm, "Teacher, you will slowly grow old, but I will always be young. Looking at you now, it is really sad."
"Is it sad..."
Third Hokage Hokage took off Divine Guard Robe, revealing the black combat uniform underneath. Although he was old, his battle-hardened aura instantly erupted, like an awakened lion.
"Even when I am old, I can still clean up my house!"
The battle is about to break out.
Beyond the World, Ye Tian opened "Heavenly Eye", and Divine Sense unreservedly covered the surface of the barrier, trying to analyze the internal energy flow through the layer of purple flame.
"Is this what's called 'Living Corpse Reincarnation'?"
Ye Tian looked at Orochimaru's young body and shook his head secretly, "Soul Seizure. In the world of immortality, this is a method only used by demons. And his Soul Seizure methods are too rough. The fit between the soul and the body is not high, and there is even rejection. No wonder he has to change his body every few years. How can he live in this kind of 'borrowed house' for a long time?"
"Compared to the real 'Nascent Soul Possession' or 'External Incarnation', this technique is simply rubbish."
Ye Tian gave Orochimaru a bad review in his heart.
But immediately after, Orochimaru's movements made Ye Tian's eyes become solemn instantly.
I saw Orochimaru's hands Hand Seals, which were the seals of Summoning Jutsu.
"Summoning Jutsu·Impure World Reincarnation!"
Boom! Boom!
Two wooden coffins with the words "Chu" and "Two" printed on them broke out of the ground, carrying a cold and deathly air from the underworld, and stood in front of Orochimaru.
When the third coffin with the word "four" printed on it tried to come out, it was pushed back by Third Hokage Hokage.
"That's..."
Ye Tian The thermos cup in his hand shook violently.
In his Divine Sense perception, the aura emanating from the two coffins was not the vitality of living people, but a... twisted force that violated the Laws of heaven and earth and forcibly bound the souls of the dead to the earth.
"Playing with souls? Desecrating the dead?"
A trace of disgust flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, as well as a trace of Cultivator's unique fear.
"In the world of immortal cultivation, this technique is called 'Corpse Refining' or 'Spirit Binding and Command'. But the medium used by Orochimaru... is actually human sacrifice? And the body is reshaped through dust, and the soul of Pure Land is forcibly summoned..."
"This is no longer just a ninjutsu, it touches the rules of 'Reincarnation Cycle'."
Ye Tian took a deep breath, "Although it is a incomplete version, but it can do this, Orochimaru is indeed a genius. However, this kind of technique that harms Tianhe has too many consequences and will be counterattacked sooner or later."
Click.
The coffin boards slowly fell.
Two legendary figures who had been dead for many years slowly walked out.
First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
Although their skin was full of cracks and their eyes were empty and lifeless, the terrifying Chakra pressure that could not be concealed even if they died instantly filled the entire Four Violet Flames Formation, even through the barrier, making it difficult for the ANBU people outside to breathe.
"That... that's..."
Anbu Captain's voice trembled, "Master First Hokage and Master Second Hokage?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Despair spread in the hearts of everyone. One Orochimaru is already difficult enough to deal with, but now the legendary God of Shinobi is added to the mix?
"Don't panic."
Ye Tian spoke calmly. Although his voice was not loud, it carried a strange calmness.
"That's not resurrection, just controlled Puppet. Their strength is less than half of what they were in life."
Ye Tian stared at those two figures, especially First Hokage, with a glint in his eyes.
"The owner of Wood Release... the ultimate of Sage Body..."
"If I can get some dust or Chakra fragments that fell from his body, can I also pry into the mystery of the transformation of the 'wood attribute' Spiritual Energy into 'vitality'?"
Ye Tian licked his lips, and the instinct called "seeking Tao (greed)" overcame fear.
"Fight, the more intense the fight, the better."
Ye Tian shouted in his heart, "It's better to lift the roof off and let me pick up the leaks."
Within the boundary.
Orochimaru stuffed two Kunai with talismans into the backs of First and the second generation's heads, completely erasing their personalities and turning them into killing machines that could only fight.
"Then, let's get started, teacher. This is a grand funeral prepared for you."
Boom!
First Hokage clapped his hands.
The entire roof tiles instantly shattered, and countless thick tree roots burst out of the ground like wild dragons, instantly turning this small space into a primeval forest.
[Wood Release·Deep Forest Emergence!]
"Is this Wood Release?"
Ye Tian stared at the trees growing out of thin air, Divine Sense was running wildly, recording every detail of the moment when the wood attribute Chakra was transformed into a physical plant.
"Creation... this is a technique that touches creation Laws!"
Ye Tian was ecstatic in his heart, "This trip is not in vain! Just this look is worth my ten years of hard work!"
Huge trees hit the barrier, making a heartbreaking squeezing sound.
Third Hokage Hokage was moving around in the sea of trees, looking extremely small.
"Old man... how are you going to break the situation?"
Ye Tian Looking at the thin figure struggling to support himself in the sea of trees, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
"Conventional means are no longer useful."
"If you want to seal a monster of this level, you must... use that technique."
Ye Tian looked at Third Hokage Hokage's determined eyes.
It was a look that was ready to die.
"Reaper Death Seal..." Ye Tian muttered to himself, "That forbidden technique involves 'Shinigami'."
"If that Shinigami really appears... it will be the first true 'god' I have seen in this world."
The wind became even colder.
A battle beyond the comprehension of mortals is beginning on this small rooftop.
