"Boom--!"
Another collision shook the sea and sky. The runic armor of the Ten Family disciples rippled in the fierce battle. The roars of the Ōtsutsuki Clan grew more urgent, clearly these alien beings had not expected to encounter such a formidable opponent on this planet.
"Damn it, these monsters are really thick-skinned!" Tenkō wiped the blood from his face, and another nick appeared in his rune-covered longsword. Half Ōtsutsuki's arm floated at his feet, the cut oozing a viscous, golden liquid that was still bubbling. The Ōtsutsuki opposite him roared, clutching his wound, his bone spurs flaring up as he lunged forward like a bristling hedgehog. Tenkō grinned and spat a mouthful of bloody saliva on the ground. "Perfect timing! I've been itching for a good fight!"
Before he finished speaking, golden dragon energy suddenly surged behind him. Tenbutsu had somehow appeared to the side, his hands Hand Seals so fast they were mere afterimages. "Divine Dragon Technique - Three Dragons Severing!" Sanjo dragons of fortune roared and coiled around the Ōtsutsuki Clan's limbs. Just as the man was about to break free, Tenkō's blade was already upon him—not a slash, but rather, using the force of the dragon energy, he lashed the back of the Ōtsutsuki clansman's head like a whip. With a crisp "crack," one of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's Kakuzu was snapped off. As he staggered backward, Tenbutsu closed in, his fist, enveloped in dragon energy, slamming into the Ōtsutsuki's chest, causing this High Immortal Level expert to cough up golden blood.
"You two are getting better and better at teamwork!" Tenkō pointed his knife at the Ōtsutsuki lying in the sea, bubbling away, and winked at Tenbutsu.
Tenbutsu kicked him impatiently. "Stop talking nonsense, there are three more on the left!"
As the two were talking, another wave of bloodshed began to rise on the other side of the Tenpei. The Tenseigan's radiance suddenly intensified, and the Senbon Shuriken had been floating in the air suddenly changed course. Countless hidden weapons formed a giant spinning wheel in the air, its edges gleaming with the distinctive grayish-white of the Tenseigan. The besieged Ōtsutsuki Gō used Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb to deflect the attack when the giant wheel suddenly disintegrated. Countless hidden weapons, as if they had come to life, zigzagged and stabbed towards them. Some even emerged from the seawater, skimming the surface and tracing treacherous arcs.
"Despicable!" Ōtsutsuki roared, blocking with his arm, but his forearm was instantly pierced with three bloody holes, and the flesh at the wounds withered at a visible speed. Just as he was about to retreat, he saw Tenpei point his fingertip, and the hidden weapons that had pierced his body suddenly exploded, and green Senjutsu Chakra crawled into the bones like vines.
"Despicable?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Tenpei's lips, the light in his Tenseigan even colder. "When you were slaughtering the native inhabitants of this planet, did you never think of the word 'despicable'?" He clasped his hands together, and the Ōtsutsuki suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream—the fragments of the hidden weapon that had pierced its body were reassembling, forcing its torso open from the inside. When Tenpei looked away, only a pool of rapidly spreading golden blood remained on the sea surface.
"Brother Tenpei is still as clean and efficient as ever!" Tenpi's voice came from above. His natal immortal sword " Limitless " was slicing a 300-meter-long sword aura in two with the energy wings of an Ōtsutsuki Clan. As the guy fell, Ten'u's sword light was already waiting below, and seven or eight thin sword auras precisely pierced the weak points at its joints. The two brothers exchanged a glance and simultaneously Hand Seals: "Sword Formation - Locking Dragon!" Countless sword auras suddenly surged from all directions, binding the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the middle like a bundle of rice dumplings. With a low shout from Tenpi, all the sword auras contracted inward at the same time. The High Immortal Level expert didn't even have time to let out a complete scream before he was shredded into countless pieces of bone and flesh.
"Awesome!" Ten'u swung his wrist, his knuckles cracking from the force. "Brother, look over there!"
Following the direction he pointed, Tenjin was locked in a fierce battle with a Ōtsutsuki who was three zhang tall. The guy was using some kind of secret technique, his whole body was covered with a gray substance similar to Truth-Seeking Orb Balls, and when Tenjin's spear " Soul Splitter " pierced it, it could only leave a white mark.
" Rinnegan - Banshō Ten'in!" Tenjin suddenly shouted, and the massive body of the Ōtsutsuki abruptly froze. Taking advantage of the moment, Tenjin spun around, his spear shaft sliding up the opponent's arm, the tip pointing straight at his throat—just then, a gash suddenly appeared in the Ōtsutsuki's chest, and a black energy pillar shot out.
"Watch out!" Tenrai's voice had barely reached his lips when Tenjin used the spring in his spear to retreat rapidly, simultaneously slamming his hand into the ground. " Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!" The black energy pillar struck his palm and vanished like water flowing into a sponge. Before the Ōtsutsuki could react, dozens of red torii gates suddenly descended from above—Tian Tenrai's " Sage Art: Gate of the Great God."
"Thanks, Tenrai!" Tenjin tapped his foot on the Gate of the Great God, using the momentum to pounce again. This time, his Rinnegan glowed red. "Found your weakness!" The spear suddenly changed direction, not aiming for the throat, but instead curved around and precisely pierced the crack in the Ōtsutsuki's chest where the energy pillar had just been spewed out.
"Pfft!"
The spear tip pierced the hilt, and the Ōtsutsuki Clan let out a deafening roar of pain as the gray outer shell shattered instantly. Tenjin twisted his wrist, and a powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted from the spear. " Shinra Tensei!" With a loud "boom," the creature's upper body was blasted away, and scalding golden blood rained down on Tenjin.
"Tsk tsk, this blood smells really strong." Tenjin flicked the blood off the tip of his spear, then suddenly frowned. "Wait, there's an even more disgusting smell!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a giant wave suddenly surged up on the sea. In the distance, the seawater churned as if it were boiling, and a monster made up of the Ōtsutsuki Clan covered in fleshy tumors emerged from the seabed, with half-digested Ōtsutsuki Clan corpses wrapped inside those tumors.
"What the hell is that?" Tenka punched the enemy in front of her away, frowning as she looked at the monster. Her Senjutsu Chakra Cloak was torn in several places, and there was a deep wound on her arm that exposed the bone. Tenka was kneeling behind her, his hands pressed on the wound, and the green medical Chakra caused the muscles to visibly heal.
"It's like... a mutated Chakra being devoured." Tenka gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead. "It's absorbing energy from the battlefield!"
Sure enough, the tumors on the monster's body grew larger and larger, and several arms even emerged from the tumors, waving wildly. Even more terrifying, the seawater around it began to turn black. Several Ōtsutsuki that approached it did not have time to react before they were entangled by the black seawater and instantly corroded into white bones. Meanwhile, the monster emitted satisfied snorting sounds, and its size increased even further.
"This thing can't be kept!" Tenshun's voice suddenly boomed. He transformed into a streak of white light and crashed into the monster. His bones cracked and popped, and his arm instantly tripled in length, the bone blade gleaming with metallic luster. " Bone Release: Dance of the Early Fern!" Countless white bones pierced out from the seabed, like a sharp jungle, but the monster seemed oblivious, letting the bones pierce its body. The fleshy growths, on the contrary, crawled up the bones, trying to entangle Tenshun's arm.
"Brother, I'm here to help you!" Tenna spread her white bone wings and swooped down. The skeleton of Susanoo suddenly covered her entire body, and a huge fireball condensed in her left hand. "Ninja Art: Great Fire Annihilation!" The blazing flames burned half the sky red, but the monster, instead of shrinking, was enveloped in flames. Instead, it let out an even more excited roar, and the tumors on its body began to burn, turning into small fireballs spewing magma.
"Damn, he's getting more and more energetic as the fight goes on?" Tenkō charged over with his knife, about to strike, when Tenrai stopped him.
"Don't confront it head-on! It can absorb energy!" Tenrai shouted while Hand Seals, "Use physical attacks! Pure Taijutsu!"
"You should have said so earlier!" Tenshun's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He suddenly dispelled his bone blades and slammed his fists into the monster. His fists, made harder than steel by his Senju physique, carried the force to shatter mountains Earth Splitter, causing the monster's tumors to burst open, splattering black slime everywhere. Tenna also reacted, withdrawing her Ninjutsu. The bone spikes on her bone wings became even sharper, slashing like two giant axes, each strike slicing off a large chunk of the tumor.
But the monster's regeneration rate was too fast; new growths would instantly grow back where it had just been cut off. Tenshun fought for a long time, panting heavily, and couldn't help but curse, "Is this thing invincible?"
