" Great Spatial Shift!" He didn't choose to take the hit head-on or dodge it. Instead, he formed hand Hand Seals, and countless spatial runes instantly appeared around his body. The torrent of black sun, powerful enough to annihilate Xingchen, was guided and deflected by those spatial runes the Setsuna it touched his body. Like water meeting a watershed, it refracted along a mysterious spatial trajectory and veered towards— Ōtsutsuki Gen, who was struggling to maintain his Dōjutsu and whose mind was in turmoil!
"What?!" Ōtsutsuki Gen never expected Tsubasa to retaliate in this way, let alone that Ōtsutsuki Taku's fatal blow would be redirected towards her! It was completely too late for her to dodge or defend!
"No--!" Ōtsutsuki Taku roared in shock and anger, trying to withdraw his power, but he could no longer control it.
boom--!!!
The black, destructive torrent completely engulfed the figure of Ōtsutsuki Gen! Terrifying energy erupted, forming an ever-expanding black energy sphere that devoured everything around it, not even light could escape.
Tsubasa used Spatial Shift to instantly move to a distance, his face pale and his breathing disordered. He had already injured his source, and in the emergency, he forcibly guided the full force of Domain Level Advanced Stage attack, which put a great burden on him. His Immortal Power was instantly consumed by nearly 30%, and his meridians were faintly aching. But he stared intently at the center of the explosion.
The black energy slowly dissipated, revealing the scene within. Ōtsutsuki Gen reappeared, but she was now in a terrible state. Her magnificent attire was mostly torn, revealing charred, bark-like skin beneath. Green blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her aura was extremely weak, clearly indicating severe injuries. In her final moments, she seemed to have used a life-saving artifact; a broken Tomoe slipped from her hand and turned to dust, barely managing to survive the approaching black sun, but she had already lost most of her fighting ability.
"Gen!" Ōtsutsuki Taku's eyes widened in horror as he rushed to Gen's side and supported her swaying body.
Tsubasa took a deep breath, forcefully summoning his immortal Immortal Power. The Jūni-Grade Golden Lotus shimmered, rapidly restoring his physical condition. He looked at the critically injured and dying Ōtsutsuki Gen and the mentally disoriented Ōtsutsuki Taku, knowing his opportunity had arrived!
"It's over." He said coldly, raising the Xingchen Sword once more, his immense Immortal Power gathering, preparing to unleash a final, thunderous strike to completely end these two super-powerful members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
However, just as Tsubasa was preparing to secure victory and the entire battlefield seemed to see a glimmer of hope, a large-scale spatial fluctuation occurred in the middle of the Starfield Battlefield, a sign that another Ōtsutsuki Clan army was about to appear.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, surpassing all living beings present, like a slumbering ancient beast awakening, suddenly enveloped the entire starfield battlefield.
This oppressive aura was vast, ancient, and cold, carrying an absolute will to rule. In an instant, Tsubasa, Tuo, and Huan, the three Domain Level powerhouses, all felt their souls tremble, and their movements involuntarily slowed down.
It was as if an invisible pair of eyes were casting their gaze from the depths of the universe.
"This is... the aura of King Level?!" Ōtsutsuki Taku suddenly looked up, his face filled with a mixture of ecstatic joy and awe. "Our clan's lord has arrived! A million- Ōtsutsuki Clan army has arrived! Hahaha! King of Wild Star, you are all doomed!"
The critically injured and dying Ōtsutsuki Gen struggled to raise his head, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Tsubasa's expression instantly turned extremely solemn, as if a towering mountain had been placed upon his heart. This aura was several times more terrifying than that of Tuo, Huan, and Gang combined! It was an absolute difference in the level of life, a true existence standing at the pinnacle of the universe—the castle lord of the Ōtsutsuki Clan Ōtsutsuki Genshō!
Although this aura seemed somewhat distant and not present at the moment, its oppressive force had already pierced through endless space, affecting this battlefield. The Allied Shinobi Forces felt a tremor from their very souls, and many of the weaker mecha pilots suffered mental breakdowns and died.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse!
Tsubasa gripped the Xingchen Sword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. He glanced at the still terrified Shinobi World army in the distance, at the Five-Tails Aircraft Carrier billowing smoke, and at the heavily injured but hopeful Ōtsutsuki Taku and Ōtsutsuki Gen before him.
He knew that the most dangerous moment had arrived. The intervention of a lord of Ōtsutsuki castle was enough to instantly turn the tide of the battle. Forget about saving the Shinobi World; they might very well be wiped out today.
However, the determination in his eyes did not waver in the slightest. The Jūni-Grade Golden Lotus sensed his indomitable will and emitted an even gentler yet more resilient light, soothing the turmoil in his heart and nourishing his immortal body.
"It's not over yet, who says we're bound to lose?" Tsubasa muttered to himself, as if encouraging himself and declaring his determination. The Immortal Power within him surged once more. Although the range of his domain was somewhat compressed in the face of the pressure from the King Level aura, it still stubbornly held on, like a lighthouse standing firm in a storm.
He looked at Tuo and Huan, his fighting spirit reignited in his eyes. "Even if your king comes, I'll send you on your way first!"
Before he finished speaking, he moved again! Transforming into a golden meteor, he charged towards Ōtsutsuki Taku and the heavily injured Gen! He had to weaken the enemy's high-end combat power as much as possible before the so-called "King of Ōtsutsuki " truly descended!
The King Level pressure emanating from Ōtsutsuki Genshō across endless space was like a frigid deep sea, engulfing the entire starfield battlefield. The morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces, which had just been ignited by the annihilation of the Ōtsutsuki vanguard, plummeted to rock bottom as if doused with a bucket of ice water. Countless warriors turned pale, their souls trembling, and some weaker mecha pilots even suffered mental breakdowns, their mechas drifting out of control in the starry sky.
" King Level... Is this the strength of the Ōtsutsuki King?" Tenchu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. The pressure from that power made even a Peak Golden Core Body Cultivator like him feel breathless, as if he were an ant facing the heavens.
"It's over... it's all over..." some less mentally resilient ninjas muttered to themselves, a sense of despair beginning to spread.
"Hahaha! King of Wild Stars, do you see this? This is the consequence of opposing my Ōtsutsuki Clan! With the Lord of the Castle personally present, you will all become nourishment for the God Tree!" Ōtsutsuki Taku laughed wildly. Although his black flame armor was dim and he was seriously injured, his eyes were once again filled with arrogance and pleasure. Ōtsutsuki Gen struggled to stand up, his eyes burning with the flames of revenge.
Tsubasa's heart sank to the bottom. His worst fears had come true. The oppressive force of a true King Level being, even if it was only their will, was devastating. He knew he had to act swiftly! He had to clip the wings of that city lord before he actually arrived!
"So noisy!"
Tsubasa's eyes turned cold, and he held nothing back. He knew that any hesitation at this moment would be fatal. Sensing its master's resolute killing intent, the Jūni-Grade Golden Lotus withdrew its light, and all its energy poured into Tsubasa's body.
" Sage Art: Temporal Forbidden Spell!"
He Hand Seals with his left hand and suddenly clenched his fist towards the space where Ōtsutsuki Gen was located! Buzz! The spatial laws of that area were instantly distorted and solidified, as if they had turned into transparent amber, firmly imprisoning the Ōtsutsuki Gen, who was unable to move quickly, in place.
"What?!" Ōtsutsuki Gen's expression changed drastically. Her Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan spun wildly as she tried to tear apart the spatial shackles with her eye power. However, due to her severe injuries, her strength was far less than before, and she was unable to break free for a time.
"Tuo! Help me!" she screamed, her voice tinged with panic.
"How dare you!" Ōtsutsuki Taku roared, his black flames surging once more, transforming into a black meteor that hurtled towards Tsubasa, attempting to relieve the siege by attacking from the south.
"Your opponent is me! Nine Transformations of Xingchen - Star Splitter!"
Tsubasa completely ignored Tuo's attack, focusing all his energy and spirit on this one sword strike. His right hand held the Xingchen Sword high, its blade no longer radiating brilliant starlight, but instead brimming with boundless laws of destruction and cutting. Fine black cracks appeared in the space around the blade! He merged with the sword, becoming one with it, transforming into an extremely fine yet sharp golden thread capable of slicing through Xingchen, ignoring spatial distance and instantly piercing through the imprisoned Ōtsutsuki Gen!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Ōtsutsuki Taku's attack missed, and he watched helplessly as the golden thread flashed past Gen's chest.
The look of panic on Ōtsutsuki Gen's face froze. She looked down at the tiny, almost invisible golden spot on her chest. The next moment, countless fine golden cracks instantly covered her entire body, centered on that spot!
"No... it... can't..." she managed to utter, her eyes filled with disbelief and fear of death.
boom--!
Golden light burst forth from the countless cracks within her body, like a golden sun in human form! Her body, her soul, every trace of her existence was utterly disintegrated and annihilated from within by that extremely restrained sword intent at this moment! Not even a speck of dust remained!
Ōtsutsuki Gen, fallen!
