The Naruto Plane.
"So this is the Wind Eagle Crystal?"
White-haired and nearing the end of his life, Madara Uchiha gazed curiously at the blue crystal floating before him.
His instincts told him that merging with this Wind Eagle Crystal would let him defy fate and change his destiny, for it was constantly radiating an intense aura of life!
At that thought, Madara Uchiha hesitated no longer. He used Ninjutsu to cut open his palm.
"Shhk!"
His flesh split, and blood welled out, spilling onto the Wind Eagle Crystal.
In an instant, the Wind Eagle Crystal became a torrent of blue light and surged into Madara Uchiha's body!
"Urgh... aaah!"
Madara Uchiha let out a beastlike roar. His face flushed crimson, veins bulging beneath his skin. He gritted his teeth, desperately enduring the pain sweeping through his entire body!
After an unknown length of time, the pain gradually receded. By then, Madara Uchiha had undergone a complete transformation.
His hair was black, and his body stood tall and straight. The elderly Madara had become a young man!
"This Wind Eagle Crystal is incredible. It actually restored my youth!"
Madara used Ninjutsu to conjure a reflection of his youthful appearance and was utterly astonished.
This was a miracle!
Surely even the Sage of Six Paths had no such ability?!
"Let's try merging with the armor."
As he spoke, Madara reached out to the Wind Eagle Totem within him.
"Screee!"
An eagle's cry pierced the void. Blue divine light erupted, and a suit of blue armor descended from the sky!
Madara completed the armor merger in an instant, marking the first appearance of the Ming Realm's power in the Naruto Plane!
After merging with the Wind Eagle Armor, information about the armor system also appeared in Madara's mind.
"One percent compatibility? The power to destroy the planet's surface? Hiss... that's far too powerful!"
Madara was stunned beyond belief.
Destroy the planet's surface?
What tremendous power was that?!
And that was with only one percent compatibility. The information about the armor system in his mind explicitly stated that once compatibility between the summoner and the armor reached one hundred percent, its power could destroy a small universe!
The Qin Dynasty Plane.
This was the plane of the group's little Flame Spirit Ji, not Ancestral Dragon's plane.
At that moment, within the Baiyue Tribe...
A girl sat atop a wooden pavilion.
She had delicate features and fair skin, and wore a fiery-red short skirt. Her foxlike eyes could steal souls, and her entire body exuded an alluring charm.
Had anyone with a discerning eye been present, they would surely have exclaimed that this girl was born to enchant!
Indeed, despite her young age, Flame Spirit Ji already possessed beauty that could bring a nation to ruin.
At that moment, Flame Spirit Ji swung her short little legs, holding a fiery-red crystal in her hands. Within the crystal was a True Dragon, baring its fangs and claws.
"The Flame Dragon Crystal... bind it with a drop of blood..."
Flame Spirit Ji hesitated. Cutting open her palm would probably hurt a lot, wouldn't it?!
"No. For myself, for Baiyue, and to overthrow the Qin State in the Central Plains, this little bit of pain is nothing!"
As she spoke, Flame Spirit Ji took out a delicate little knife, closed her eyes, and sliced open her palm.
Blood spurted out and splashed onto the Flame Dragon Crystal.
"Boom!"
The Flame Dragon Crystal transformed into an immense torrent and surged into Flame Spirit Ji's body.
"Urgh... ah! It hurts!"
Flame Spirit Ji screamed as unparalleled agony swept through her entire body!
"Humm!"
Suddenly, roaring flames rose from Flame Spirit Ji's body, accompanied by the faint echo of a dragon's roar.
A long while later, Flame Spirit Ji returned to normal. Warmth filled her body, and she had never felt so comfortable before.
Flame Spirit Ji clenched her small, delicate fists, and blazing flames suddenly burst forth!
"Crack! Crack!"
The surrounding space instantly collapsed with countless explosive cracks!
Flame Spirit Ji sucked in a cold breath, utterly stunned. "Hiss! I'm terrifyingly powerful now!"
The Super God Plane.
The universe where the Angel Civilization resided.
Inside a palace built in a Western European style, Angel Yan stood before a window in a white dress, gazing at the Xingtian Crystal in her hand. A storm of data flickered through her pupils as she activated the Sub-Biological Engine, attempting to determine the crystal's origin.
Yet after more than a hundred analyses, the Sub-Biological Engine returned only one result: no record found!
"I need to see the Queen!"
With that, Angel Yan took the Xingtian Crystal and headed for the Sacred Angel Hall.
Before long, Angel Yan arrived at the Sacred Angel Hall.
At that moment, the ruler of the Angel Civilization, Sacred Kaisa, sat upon the supreme divine throne, clad in holy silver-white armor.
She propped her cheek on one hand, gazing lazily ahead with world-weary eyes. Her strength had reached the pinnacle. Even her nemesis Morgana, ruler of the Demon Civilization, fell slightly short of her, so she held nothing in the world in any regard.
"Your Majesty!"
Angel Yan climbed the steps and approached Sacred Kaisa with the utmost respect.
Sacred Kaisa nodded slightly. "What brings you here?"
Angel Yan presented the Xingtian Crystal to Kaisa. "Your Majesty, that powerful Heavenly Dao from the group gave me this. It's called the Xingtian Crystal!"
Kaisa's gaze shifted. Angel Yan had previously told her about the Transcendent-Dimensional Chat Group, and she had used the God-Slaying Weapon Arsenal to analyze it. The results had been completely blank, proving that this Transcendent-Dimensional Chat Group did not belong to their universe.
"It contains an astonishing amount of energy!"
"I have a feeling that if this energy were unleashed to its fullest, it could wipe out our entire Angel Civilization!"
Kaisa was somewhat shocked. Such mysterious and powerful energy had never appeared in their Angel Civilization before!
"Wipe out the entire Angel Civilization??? Your Majesty, you must be joking!"
Angel Yan was utterly horrified. Their Angel Civilization was a Beyond-Single-Universe-level civilization that ruled countless individual universes. How could any power possibly destroy it?
Kaisa shook her head solemnly. "I'm not joking. The energy contained within this crystal truly exceeds my imagination. I suspect even Beyond-Single-Universe-level isn't its limit!"
Angel Yan was delighted. "Then absorb it, Your Majesty! Once you become stronger, the destruction of the Demon Civilization will be within reach!"
Her reverence for Sacred Kaisa was so profound that she wanted to hand over the Xingtian Crystal without a moment's hesitation.
Kaisa laughed despite herself. "That powerful being gave it to you, not to me."
"But..."
"It isn't mine, and I won't force the matter. You may leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Angel Yan left the Sacred Angel Hall.
Only Kaisa remained in the vast hall.
Kaisa's gaze pierced through the distant universe. A trace of melancholy suddenly crossed her face. "The Transcendent-Dimensional Chat Group, Heavenly Dao... just what changes will they bring to the Angel Civilization..."
