Divine Marrow!
A fiery gleam flashed in Xuandou's eyes, and he was deeply tempted.
Divine Marrow sounded a tier above Divine Blood, and the reward had climbed another notch.
But Xuandou did not let the system's reward go to his head. Instead, he summoned the Qiankun Armor, Qilin Dragon Boots, and Coiling Dragon Staff, then enhanced himself with Yae-gaki, the Rinnegan Dōjutsu that boosted his speed and constitution.
Even then, Xuandou was not satisfied. The meridian gate in his chest, corresponding to his heart, opened, and blood-red steam rose from his body.
Eighth Gate: Gate of Death, open!
With his preparations complete, Xuandou gathered his strength and struck at the other's head.
Dragon roars and tiger howls rang out. The coiling dragon relief on the Coiling Dragon Staff lit up, moving as though it were a real dragon.
The already dazzling Coiling Dragon Staff now blazed with radiance so intense that it forced eyes shut.
Arriving ahead of the attack was a shock wave Xuandou had built up, layer upon layer, through successive impacts against the air.
Humm-
Like a true god descending, like gods and Buddhas coming into the world, the staff swept across the sky like lightning falling from the highest heavens. Its speed distorted space, and the condition Xuandou was in far surpassed his previous limits.
As the staff fell, the Six Paths Power coating it erupted, and a thunderous blast resounded across the sky.
Space, time, the heavens, and even everything around them were divided, all reduced to utter chaos beneath that strike.
It could be said that, apart from things like Shinjutsu and Ninjutsu, this was Xuandou's strongest Taijutsu strike at present.
There was no exquisite staff technique, nor any enhancement-only a blow Xuandou brought down with all his might, relying on his physical capabilities.
