The spreading Fire Release engulfed the venomous snakes summoned by the Many Snakes Formation, while scorching flames spread throughout the barrier.
They even reached the edges of the Four Violet Flames Formation.
The four Shapeshifting Technique Bodies maintaining the barrier grimaced in pain, large areas of their bodies burning!!
However, as Shapeshifting Technique Bodies, they would only disappear when their chakra ran out.
Or when the caster voluntarily dispelled them.
Qi Yuan's airborne body dropped sharply, surrounded by ash and the aroma of roasted meat!
Then his gaze surveyed a spot not far from him!
It was completely covered by dense Earth Release, but then cracks began spreading across the sealed earthen shell.
Two figures were revealed inside.
Gu Huan and Zhao Hua looked grave and said with some hesitation, "It seems he hasn't just suppressed the Sharingan's side effects!!"
"Not only is his Taijutsu incredibly powerful, but his Ninjutsu already rivals that of some people on the Great Grandmaster Realm rankings!!"
"Did he really obtain the Sharingan??"
Gu Huan was even more interested in Qi Yuan now. He licked his lips. "Interesting!!"
As for those four Shapeshifting Technique Bodies, he did not care about them at all.
Meanwhile, Qi Yuan watched them calmly.
"Looks like this Fire Release still isn't powerful enough. What about this next one!!"
Then the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun violently, and a new pattern emerged!!
It was the Mangekyō Sharingan!!
As his Mangekyō Sharingan activated, Qi Yuan felt his chakra instantly grow several levels stronger again!!
At the same time, his left Mangekyō Sharingan kept spinning!!
"Well then, can you withstand Fire Release in this state??"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!"
Qi Yuan used the same trick again.
But this time, he unleashed Fire Release straight ahead from the ground!!
This Fire Release came even more fiercely, over ten times as powerful as before.
Gu Huan's and Zhao Hua's expressions changed at once!!
The latter in particular suddenly swelled in size, and several pitch-black, puppet-like things sprang out of his body.
Fire Release spread over their bodies in an instant, burning everything in its path.
The Shapeshifting Technique Body maintaining the barrier in that direction was reduced straight to ash.
With one person gone, the Four Violet Flames Formation disappeared as well.
Meanwhile, the flames spread, setting the entire stretch of the outskirts ablaze!!
The people of Shangcheng City finally noticed something was wrong, and Sima Nan was startled awake in the night.
With the Four Violet Flames Formation gone, the city's Sensor Ninjas also detected the disturbance there!!
Yet after sensing the chakra over there, all of them felt a chill at the crowns of their heads!!
"Chakra of this magnitude? My god, just what kind of big shot has come to our little place!!"
After unleashing Fire Release, Qi Yuan quietly watched the distance with his hands behind his back.
Then his gaze sharpened.
Vast amounts of Water Release began blocking Qi Yuan's Fire Release along the road.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!!"
The far-reaching waves met Fire Release, and thick clouds of steam rose into the night sky!!
After the flames passed, the scene over there gradually became clear.
Qi Yuan also saw the two figures there!!
Or rather, they were not two figures, but several enormous monsters.
The monsters were black all over, yet wore faceless masks!!
They were larger than ordinary adults and surrounded the now-transformed Zhao Hua at his front!!
Zhao Hua's appearance had changed completely. His entire body radiated a cold, terrifying aura, and four enormous masked monsters had appeared before him.
One of them was still maintaining Water Release, continuously obstructing Qi Yuan's Fire Release.
Interest shone in Qi Yuan's eyes. "Interesting. The Secret Technique, Earth Grudge Fear?"
This Secret Technique could give a person up to five lives, and replacing hearts could also grant a long lifespan.
Of course, as an S-Rank Forbidden Technique, anyone who could successfully master it was extraordinarily gifted.
Meanwhile, at some point Gu Huan had summoned a gigantic python and slowly crawled back out of its mouth.
His entire body looked as though it were made of water.
Qi Yuan watched the monster desperately maintain Water Release, extinguishing the flames around it one by one!!
Yet even though it was faceless, he could sense that the Water Release it unleashed was growing weaker.
With its strength alone, it could not possibly neutralize the Fire Release unleashed through the Mangekyō Sharingan!!
However, neither of the two opposite him was focused on Qi Yuan's Fire Release now. Both stared fixedly into his eyes.
Then disbelief and horror appeared on both their faces!!
Through the rising, scorching air, they saw Qi Yuan walking toward them step by step with his hands behind his back.
They could clearly see that the Sharingan in Qi Yuan's eyes no longer had three tomoe.
The three tomoe had joined together, making the pattern more complex.
A fact right before their eyes filled their minds!!
"How is this possible? He actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in a human body!!"
Gu Huan in particular had spent these past decades studying the Foreign Races-or, more precisely, their powerful Dōjutsu.
If humans truly had been able to wield that power, why would he have abandoned his human body and chosen the ugly Foreign Races!!
Moreover, Living Corpse Reincarnation had restrictions. If he could not achieve a further breakthrough with his Forbidden Technique in a few years, he would have to change vessels again!!
Yet now, this youth...
Gu Huan could no longer suppress the desire in his heart. "Zhao Hua, capture him!! Hurry!! I want to study everything about him!!"
The monsters before Zhao Hua abruptly surged forward!!
His body connected to the four monsters through strange tendrils.
The four monsters represented four attributes, and together with his main body, Zhao Hua could unleash Release techniques of five attributes!!
"Fire Release: Searing Migraine!!"
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!!"
A large mass of dense flames spewed from the monster's mouth, but its power fell far short of Qi Yuan's Fire Release.
At the same time, however, bolstered by Wind Release, the Fire Release looked no less imposing than Qi Yuan's!!
Immediately afterward, another monster spewed a massive bolt of lightning from its mouth!!
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!!"
Three powerful Ninjutsu of different attributes were unleashed just like that, yet Qi Yuan did not even dodge.
"Just the chance to test a technique of my own!!"
Blue suddenly rose beneath his feet, quickly spreading over his entire body.
It gradually formed skeletal chakra resembling a framework of bones.
This chakra solidified directly into physical form, surrounding Qi Yuan!!
From afar, it looked eerie, ominous, and terrifying!
Susanoo First Form!!
The Fire Release and Lightning Release struck Susanoo without making so much as a ripple.
At the same time, an enormous blue arm abruptly clamped down hard on the fire-attribute and lightning-attribute monsters.
Then, with a sudden squeeze, the two monsters snapped apart at the middle!!
They shattered into fragments!!
Horror appeared on Zhao Hua's face.
He was currently a Shapeshifting Technique Body, and this Forbidden Technique had also been simulated using his own chakra.
But he had never expected them to die so easily!!
"Is this Susanoo??"
"Not only can he awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, he can also unleash such powerful Ninjutsu!!"
He had dealt with the Foreign Races as well, and understood the immense power possessed by the Mangekyō Sharingan!!
This Susanoo was like Ninjutsu unleashed by a god.
Yet now it had been unleashed by a human!!
"Still, this fellow probably doesn't know Earth Grudge Fear's weakness. As long as there's one??"
But before he could finish, several more enormous blue arms extended from Qi Yuan's blue skeletal Susanoo!!
They gripped the other two Earth Grudge Fear monsters and his main body tightly in their hands!!
Along with Gu Huan, who had been staring at Qi Yuan's Mangekyō Sharingan and drooling all this time!!
