Liu Tianjun's face twisted as he slammed both hands into the ground.
Clearly, he was not unaware of Qi Yuan's approach.
"Earth Release: Soil Road Return!!"
A thick wall blocked Qi Yuan's path.
But Liu Tianjun did not expect the earthen wall to hold him off for long.
His hands rapidly formed seals.
Yet his expression abruptly changed as someone's body smashed straight through the thick earthen wall, shattering it!!
He suddenly remembered the terror of the Eight Gates, an S-Rank Forbidden Technique that allowed its user to challenge opponents above their level.
It was just that so few people successfully mastered it that many overlooked its power.
Scorching heat rose from Liu Tianjun's body. "Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!"
A large cloud of corrosive acid mist gushed from his mouth.
It then clung to the earthen wall that was already on the verge of collapse, as well as Qi Yuan behind it.
Qi Yuan, who had just smashed through the wall, paled and abruptly retreated!
From what he remembered, this acid mist was powerful enough to melt Susanoo.
Although Liu Tianjun's version had not reached that level, Qi Yuan was still flesh and blood!!
Liu Tianjun was about to go mad. Qi Yuan was simply too fast.
He could not hit him at all.
His Boil Release specialized in powerful attacks, but they could not hit his opponent at all.
Yet his chakra could not sustain Boil Release for long. Sooner or later, Qi Yuan would wear him to death.
Still, he seized that brief opening to form another seal.
"Earth Release: Super-Light Rock Technique!!"
His body abruptly rose into the air like a balloon.
At the same time, Liu Tianjun fiercely summoned all the chakra in his body.
He then channeled it into his palms, both hands billowing with heat.
Then he thrust forward with all his might, and his body shot into the distance like a spring!!
"Boil Release: Steam Engine!!"
This speed far surpassed an ordinary Body Flicker Technique!!
"As long as I leave this Secret Realm Space, Qi Yuan won't dare attack a Grandmaster Realm expert outside!!"
Looking at the rapidly approaching Secret Realm entrance, he was instantly overjoyed.
"And the Freemasons' assassin is already dead. I can frame Qi Yuan and say he hired the assassin to kill me!!"
With the entire Liu Family behind him, he had the final say on who was in the right and who was in the wrong!!
Yet just then, his expression changed drastically once again!!
He then turned his head with great difficulty, only to see Qi Yuan, wreathed in green energy, racing and leaping along. His speed had already risen another notch!!
"How is that possible?? Wasn't that his top speed just now?"
At that moment, Qi Yuan felt an intense, aching exhilaration throughout his body.
This was the aftereffect of opening the Fourth Gate of the Eight Gates of Limitless. Now he was in pain and enjoying it!
Earlier, when he opened the Fourth Gate to break through the Four Violet Flames Formation, he had not felt much.
But now, he was using the Eight Gates of Limitless and the Seven-Day Breathing Method together.
While gaining speed and strength beyond his limits, his bones were also enduring tremendous pressure.
He abruptly accelerated again and closed right in on Liu Tianjun.
The latter had used the Super-Light Rock Technique, making his body extremely light.
Combined with his high-speed movement, he could not adjust his body at all.
At that moment, because Liu Tianjun had used Boil Release, the chakra surrounding his body had all turned into steam.
He was like a balloon. All it would take was an external force to burst him with a single poke.
Qi Yuan let out a fierce shout and sped over Liu Tianjun.
Then he drove his elbow down!!
A sound like a balloon bursting rang out!!
Liu Tianjun's body exploded in midair, low above the ground!!
"Congratulations. You have suppressed Liu Tianjun and earned 2,000 Enhancement Points."
Qi Yuan deactivated the Eight Gates of Limitless. Looking at Liu Tianjun, who had already turned to ashes, he could not help looking reflective.
If Liu Tianjun had not been so eager to escape, perhaps he would not have died so quickly.
Although his Boil Release was slow, it was extremely dangerous.
Before his chakra ran out, Qi Yuan really would not have dared get too close to him!!
Yet fate played tricks on people!!
"No wonder he never made the Grandmaster Rankings. Although he was at the peak of level five, he always felt like some freeloader from a powerful clan!"
Although Qi Yuan spoke lightly, these two Grandmaster Realm experts had nearly exhausted every means at his disposal!!
Especially after opening the Fourth Gate of the Eight Gates of Limitless, his body was now utterly exhausted and aching!!
"Killing two peak-level-five Grandmaster Realm experts in a row earned me 4,000 Enhancement Points outright!!"
"System, add 1,000 points to Body Energy and 1,000 to Mental Energy!!"
In just a brief instant, Qi Yuan suddenly felt a complete qualitative change in his chakra.
He had at least five times more than his previous normal amount of chakra!!
"Is this the Grandmaster Realm?"
Sure enough, it was worlds apart from before!!
Although Qi Yuan had only added 2,000 points to Body Energy and Mental Energy.
After his level rose to five, his Body Energy and Mental Energy were passively increased severalfold as well!!
Even the lingering exhaustion from opening the Fourth Gate of the Eight Gates of Limitless had now completely vanished.
"System, bring up my stats!!"
Qi Yuan brought up the system panel he had not opened in ages.
"Host: Qi Yuan." "Level: Early level five." "Chakra Affinity (potential): 521." "Body Energy: 42456." "Mental Energy: 43587." Eight Gates: Level five (342/2000) Seven-Day Breathing Method: Level three (maxed) Kekkei Genkai: Three-Tomoe Sharingan (9600/10000) "Enhancement Points: 2127."
"I still have 2,000 Enhancement Points left, so I can try awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan!!"
"System, add 2,000 Enhancement Points to the Sharingan!!"
Barely a few seconds after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his eyes.
It grew worse and worse, forcing him to cover both eyes!!
At the same time, two trails of blood involuntarily flowed from his eyes.
Reflected in the clear water, the three tomoe could clearly be seen spinning nonstop.
Until those three tomoe joined together!!
The Mangekyō Sharingan!!
Qi Yuan's own Mangekyō Sharingan awakened at that moment!!
Qi Yuan's body could not stop trembling.
"Is this the Mangekyō Sharingan?? It's just as eerie and powerful as I imagined!!"
About two minutes later, Qi Yuan finally lowered his hands completely and snapped his Mangekyō Sharingan open!!
"So this is the ability of Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan!!"
The abilities of both Mangekyō Sharingan eyes had already appeared in his mind.
His Mangekyō Sharingan was indeed very different. Both eyes had passive abilities.
His left eye could reduce chakra consumption while allowing him to perform ninjutsu beyond what ordinary people could manage!!
His right eye directly and passively increased his chakra at all times, granting an additional fifty percent chakra while the Mangekyō Sharingan was active!!
"No wonder Madara Uchiha didn't run short of chakra like ordinary Uchiha, and could even fight Hashirama Senju with his Sage Body for days!!"
Moreover, because Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan abilities were all passive, this also reduced the side effects caused by the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Qi Yuan looked at the corresponding entry in his system stats.
Kekkei Genkai: Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (1500/100000).
"It actually became the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan right away??"
Sure enough, receiving Six Paths Madara's Inheritance allowed it to evolve directly into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!!
That way, he would not have to worry about going blind.
Moreover, aside from the passive techniques of both eyes, the technique Susanoo had also taken up residence within his body.
"In this state, I should at least be able to use the second stage of Susanoo!!"
Qi Yuan could not help growing excited, and he took a deep breath.
Seeing his Mangekyō Sharingan reflected in the water, Qi Yuan could not help giving himself a smile.
With these eyes, he would fear no one in this world!!
