Ch. 1701Sage Taiqing proposed destroying the Deva Path
Xiao Tian absorbed the Black and White Deva Path’s sneak attack with his evolved Rinnegan and wounded it, while Taiqing Laozi led the Sages in a plan to disrupt its recovery. The Sages cut off its Chaos energy and provoked it, further weakening its yin-yang balance as Xiao Tian remained occupied fighting the World-Destroying Divine Meteor.
- The Black and White Deva Path attacked Xiao Tian with a powerful yin-yang strike, but his Rinnegan swallowed it and turned its force back on the attacker, severely wounding it.
- Taiqing Laozi explained how the Black and White Deva Path maintained its yin-yang balance and proposed interrupting its recovery by diverting Chaos energy and provoking it.
- Naruto, Sasuke, Taiqing, Nüwa, and the other Sages left the Adamantine Staff’s protection and carried out their plan, with Naruto taunting the Deva Path and Sasuke attacking it.
- The Sages formed a net around the Black and White Deva Path and blocked the Chaos energy it was absorbing to heal.
- Naruto’s insults and the Sages’ attacks angered the Black and White Deva Path, causing its already-fractured balance to deteriorate further.
