Ōtsutsuki Retsu's Rinnegan suddenly contracted, black lines twisting and spreading across the whites of his eyes. He abruptly raised his hand to press his forehead, and the World Will that enveloped the Western Continent surged forth like a tidal wave, carrying a chilling pressure. But the next second, a cold smile curled at the corner of Retsu's lips, and the power of the Ōtsutsuki surged wildly within his body, golden light bursting forth from his entire being, forcefully tearing a gash in that pressure.
"Nothing more than the uncivilized will of a wild planet!" Ōtsutsuki Retsu slammed his wooden sword into the ground, black energy surging from the blade into the earth, instantly cracking the ground with countless fissures from which black energy erupted. "Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
The words had barely left his lips when Ōtsutsuki Retsu's body vanished from his spot. The next second, he reappeared behind the Chief Archmage of the Church of Flame, his wooden sword, crackling with black energy, sweeping out. The Chief Archmage reacted with lightning speed; the gem at the tip of his staff erupted with dazzling flames, forming a massive wall of fire. But when the wooden sword struck the wall of fire, it was instantly cleaved in two, the black energy slicing through the Chief Archmage's body like a sharp blade.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered onto the magic circle, and the chief archmage's body slumped to the ground. His staff slipped from his hand, and the gem at its tip lost its luster, becoming dull and lifeless. Upon seeing this, the surrounding mages' expressions changed drastically, and the magic circle's operation became sluggish.
"What's the panic!" Ōtsutsuki Retsu's voice was icy cold. He turned to look at the mages, a hint of disdain flashing in his Rinnegan. "You're so scared just because you killed a piece of trash?"
He raised his hand, and a black energy ball condensed in his palm. The energy ball spun continuously, distorting the surrounding space. "Die!" He hurled the energy ball, which exploded in mid-air, sending countless black energy rays shooting towards the mages.
The mages hastily cast magical defenses; flames, frost, and lightning intertwined to form a thick defensive barrier. However, the energy rays seemed to ignore the defenses, piercing directly through the barrier and into the mages' bodies. Screams erupted one after another; more than a dozen mages instantly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
"Lord Retsu is so strong!" Upon seeing this, Ōtsutsuki Ayu's face, which had been filled with fear, now showed excitement. He licked his lips and swept his Byakugan over the surrounding creatures of the Western Continent. "These natives are nothing but insignificant ants!"
Ayu's body suddenly vanished, reappearing behind an elven archer. He raised his hand, conjuring a black energy blade, and slashed towards the archer's back. Sensing danger, the archer quickly turned, his arrow tip wreathed in green energy, and shot towards Ayu. But Ayu merely sneered, dodging the arrow to the side, the energy blade instantly slicing across the archer's neck.
Blood gushed out, and the elven archer's body fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, filled with resentment and fear. Ayu looked at the corpse on the ground and curled her lip in disdain. "I thought he was so powerful, but he's so weak."
On the other side, Ōtsutsuki Shō was engaged in fierce combat with the Silver Wing Sword Saint. Shō's Rinnegan spun continuously, and black energy condensed into a longbow in his hand. He drew the bow and nocked an arrow, the black energy arrow shooting towards the Silver Wing Sword Saint with a Space Break sound. The Silver Wing Sword Saint swung his heavy sword, the silver-white sword energy cleaving the energy arrow in two. But Shō's attacks followed one after another, countless energy arrows raining down on the Silver Wing Sword Saint like a storm.
The Silver Wing Sword Saint wielded his greatsword with all his might, his sword energy crisscrossing and deflecting the energy arrows one by one. But he could feel that Shao's energy was growing stronger and stronger, and his own stamina was being rapidly depleted. Just then, a strange smile appeared on Shao's lips, and his body suddenly vanished from the spot.
"Not good!" The Silver Wing Sword Saint's heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned around, but it was too late. Shao appeared behind him, condensing a black energy spike in his hand, which pierced the Silver Wing Sword Saint's back.
"Pfft!" The Silver Wing Sword Saint spat out a mouthful of blood, his greatsword slipping from his hand and crashing heavily to the ground. He turned around with difficulty, looking at Shao, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. "Who... who are you people?"
Shao sneered, pulling out the energy spike. Black energy spread from the Silver Wing Sword Saint's wound. "We are the Ōtsutsuki Clan, gods who surpass you natives! Ants like you are not worthy to know our name!"
After speaking, Shao raised his hand and waved it, sending a black energy blade slashing towards the Silver Wing Sword Saint. The Silver Wing Sword Saint tried to dodge, but his body was bound by the black energy and he could not move. The energy blade sliced through his body, and the Silver Wing Sword Saint's body was instantly split in two, his blood staining the earth red.
"The First Sword Saint... is dead?" Upon seeing this, the Silver Shield Kingdom who were still alive in the ruins had their hopes shattered instantly, replaced by deep despair.
Meanwhile Ōtsutsuki Sō was wreaking havoc in the south. He activated his Tenseigan Mode, his body surrounded by pale blue energy, and he could manipulate gravity and repulsion at will. An Ice Prism Grand Magister from the Frost Kingdom unleashed countless ice spikes at Sō. Sō simply raised his hand, and a powerful repulsive force erupted, instantly deflecting the ice spikes in the opposite direction, piercing the bodies of more than a dozen Frost Kingdom soldiers.
Upon seeing this, the Ice Prism Grand Magister's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly released a thick ice wall, attempting to block Zong's attack. However, a cold smile appeared on Zong's lips, and the Tenseigan in his eyes shone brightly, unleashing a powerful gravitational force that instantly pulled the ice wall towards Zong. Zong raised his hand and punched the ice wall, shattering it instantly and sending countless ice fragments flying.
Zong's body appeared before the Ice Prism Grand Magister like a ghost, and punched him in the chest. The Ice Prism Grand Magister spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and falling silent.
"Pathetic." Zong clapped his hands, his Tenseigan sweeping over the surrounding creatures of the Western Continent. "You will all die?"
Seeing this, the soldiers from the Western Continent retreated in terror, their faces filled with fear. But Zong had no intention of letting them go. He raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful force pulled the surrounding soldiers towards him. The soldiers tried to resist, but their bodies were immobilized, and they could only watch helplessly as they were pulled toward Zong.
Zong conjured a pale blue energy blade in his hand and slashed it towards the soldiers. Screams rang out as the soldiers fell to the ground one by one, their blood staining the earth red.
Meanwhile, Ōtsutsuki Tōru was engaged in a fierce battle with druids and elves in the forest. His Byakugan could clearly see the energy flow of the vines. He drew his short sword, imbuing the blade with Chakra, and slashed at the vines. This time, after the vines were severed, the energy flow at the wounds was interrupted, preventing them from healing.
"Hmph, just some petty tricks." Che sneered, his body suddenly disappearing from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind a druid. A short knife sliced across the druid's throat, and the druid fell to the ground, lifeless.
An elven mage unleashed a green spell, and countless vines sprouted from the ground, coiling towards Che. Che activated his Rinnegan Mode, condensing a black energy ball in his palm and hurling it at the vines. The energy ball exploded, instantly engulfing the vines in black energy and turning them to ashes.
Che's body flickered repeatedly as his short sword slashed across the bodies of the elves and druids, their screams echoing through the forest.
