The Death God, wielding a short sword, roared silently, repeatedly stabbing the gradually closing barrier with the dagger he used to reap souls.
Unfortunately, this massive sealing barrier, formed by the power of nature, was completely unshakeable.
"Don't waste your energy. I've mobilized almost all the natural forces within a hundred miles. This barrier is impossible for you to break."
Xu Xiao slowly walked forward, sizing up the panicked Death God in front of him.
Upon hearing Xu Xiao's words, the purple-faced Death God revealed a human-like hatred, and then brandished his short sword to stab Xu Xiao.
Unfortunately, just as the attack was launched, a glimmer of light flashed across the barrier.
The natural forces that formed the barrier converged directly in front of Xu Xiao, mixing with the Palm Lightning generated by Xu Xiao's magic Magic Power.
In an instant, the lightning bolt, which was originally only as thick as a person, seemed to have taken a supplement and turned into a ten-foot-thick bolt, flashing with majestic heavenly power, and shot towards the body of Death God.
" The Five Elements Art: Yin Wood Lightning with Natural Energy should be able to harm you, a local spirit."
Xu Xiao did not use particle collisions to condense lightning, but instead used a pure Daoist Sect technique— Palm Lightning.
While scientific lightning has a large range and ample electrical charge, it lacks the exorcising power of lightning derived from Magic Power.
Thunder belongs to the element of wood, Yin Wood Lightning is also a vibrant and powerful force that can most effectively suppress evil spirits, only slightly inferior to the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, which serves as divine punishment.
This is obviously the best way to deal with something that clearly exudes an aura of death.
When the god of death came out with a sword, when he saw Yimu Lei, a look of surprise appeared on his ferocious ghost face.
Then, in the next second, he quickly retracted the short sword he had swung, blocking the path of the lightning strike.
"Zzz--Boom!"
Ordinary lightning cannot harm the Grim Death God, who is a spirit, but Xu Xiao's Yin Wood Lightning is different.
The moment it collided with Death God's dagger, the evil-slaying power contained within it instantly erupted.
It was as if a spark had met gasoline, instantly spreading towards the body of the Death God Reaper.
"Hiss~ Roar!"
Death God's gaping Kog'Maw, filled with sharp teeth, couldn't help but roar, and pale blue lightning flickered across its pale purple body.
Natural forces are a kind of basic force similar to Spiritual Energy. After being infused with Yin Wood Lightning, the power of Yin Wood Lightning has increased exponentially.
When these lightning bolts touched the Death God's body, their conflicting attributes immediately caused massive damage.
With just one blow, even Death God's body appeared somewhat weakened.
"Great, it seems to be working quite well. Let's try two more dishes!"
Xu Xiao combined Magic Power with natural forces for the first time, and the Death God happened to be the subject of his experiment.
Streaks of Yi Yin Wood Lightning condensed before him, then he manipulated the Natural Energy of this world to power them, and soon, enhanced Yi Yin Wood Lightning shot towards Death God.
This has caused Death God a lot of trouble. He originally thought he was just being taken advantage of once, but now it seems that he is at risk of falling.
Unfortunately, He couldn't speak, and could only struggle to stay upright under the bombardment of lightning, enduring its baptism.
"This... even the legendary Death God is powerless against him?!"
Orochimaru and Nagato hid outside the barrier, with Minato, who had just been resurrected, nearby.
Nagato and Konan didn't understand the meaning of Death God ), but he and Minato did.
This is a deity in charge of souls, worshipped long ago in the Shinobi World, and is said to possess immense power.
It is said that as the ruler of souls, He maintains the reincarnation of souls in the Pure Land. Ninjutsu related to souls, such as the Reaper Death Seal, are also Ninjutsu developed using Shinto abilities.
Before the Sage of Six Paths spread the Chakra system, this world actually possessed its own unique power.
That is the power of nature!
Animals absorb the power of nature to cultivate Senjutsu, becoming spirit beasts or even self-proclaimed immortals.
Humans were not to be outdone; among them were priestesses who used the power of nature and priests who worshipped God.
For example, the lineage of Maitreya, the priestess of the Land of Demons is still alive today, is the Inheritors of this power.
Death God, however, is a rather special kind of being.
He was born from humanity's earliest fear and worship of death, and through generations of human inheritance, He gradually Absorbing Man faith and the power of nature to grow stronger.
From its initial concept of a Death God, it gradually transformed into a true deity with immense power through human belief.
Of course, that was the Death God of death in ancient times, when He was a deity worshipped by everyone, with families and believers dedicated to His sacrifices, and His power was immense.
However, with the spread of the Chakra system, people no longer needed the protection and mercy of the gods, and the Death God gradually faded from most of humanity's view.
Only the Uzumaki Clan, which originally transformed from families of priests and priestesses into ninjas, possesses information similar to that of the Death God.
Sealing Jutsu actually originated from the power of Shinto, belonging to the native supernatural forces.
"What a powerful being! Such a powerful being was born in the world after my death!"
The Impure World Reincarnation Minato Namikaze beside him, because Xu Xiao had not given the order, nor had Orochimaru sealed his self-control ability.
Even after observing Xu Xiao's fight for a while, Minato asked Orochimaru a question:
" Orochimaru, you pulled me back from the world of the dead, could it be this person's doing?"
"Hehe!"
"As expected of you, Minato. Reincarnating you was indeed the will of the Heavenly Venerable."
Orochimaru chuckled as he answered, his eyes never leaving the barrier, which he kept watching everything inside.
The power Xu Xiao displayed truly impressed him; this was the path he should follow.
"Celestial Venerable? Is this some new organization? How is Konoha doing?"
Minato pressed for more questions.
Even though he's dead, he still cares deeply about everything in Konoha.
" Konoha still exists, but I killed your son!"
Xu Xiao's voice came from within the barrier, and then the barrier enveloping the Death God Reaper dissipated.
Just a moment ago, the Grim Death God, who had been bombarded by Yin Wood Lightning for half a day, could no longer withstand it and was completely captured by Xu Xiao.
Several bolts of Yin Wood Lightning transformed into cyan chains, firmly binding the Death God Reaper's ghostly body.
Xu Xiao placed his hand on the spirit of the Death God, and with the help of the power of the will of this world, his Divine Sense began to trace the origin of this ghost.
Soon, everything about how these ghosts and gods were born and how their power grew began to enter Xu Xiao's mind.
Xu Xiao has shown some promise in the Way of Ghosts and Gods and gods.
However, right now, it's clear that we need to revive the Ten-Tails first. How to combine the Way of Ghosts and Gods to find another way is something to consider later.
"You killed Naruto!!!"
"Unforgivable!"
Upon hearing Minato, Minato flew into a rage and immediately prepared to attack Xu Xiao, but his body quickly gave way.
Orochimaru, standing to the side, formed hand seals and, as the caster, directly took over Minato's Impure World Reincarnation body.
"Don't be disrespectful to the Celestial Venerable, Minato."
