Madara Uchiha hovered in mid-air, looking down at the ever-expanding black python below, a wildly arrogant smile playing on his lips.
"Interesting, very interesting!"
Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song!
A blazing fire dragon spewed from its mouth, splitting into nine ferocious fire dragons in mid-air, which pounced on the Moryo's true form from different angles.
Wherever the flames passed, the air was scorched and distorted.
Suddenly, the slime on the surface of the black pythons rippled, engulfing the flames like a sponge absorbing water.
The giant python, having absorbed the energy of the flames, expanded once more, and the black mucus on its surface glowed with a dark red light, as if it had been infused with new vitality.
Ban's brows furrowed slightly.
Ordinary Ninjutsu is ineffective? I can't believe such a thing exists!
Just then, the core of the Moryo suddenly contracted violently, and then erupted violently.
boom--
A jet-black torrent of energy shot straight into the sky at an astonishing speed.
Madara hastily unleashed his Not Perfect Susanoo; the blue giant's skeleton had barely taken shape when he was struck head-on by this torrent of energy.
boom!
Amidst the deafening explosion, Madara was blasted hundreds of meters away, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the skeleton of Susanoo.
Fragments of Impure World Reincarnation drifted from the cracks, then slowly repaired themselves thanks to their immortality.
"Spot!"
Hashirama was some distance away, couldn't help but shout, his hands already forming the hand seals for Wood Release.
"Don't interfere, Hashirama!" Madara Uchiha steadied himself, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "This is my battle against it!"
He wiped away non-existent blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
Although the body Impure World Reincarnation is immortal, it cannot unleash its original power due to the limited number of sacrifices required.
If he were in his prime, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state; he would have resolved the situation long ago!
"Since Ninjutsu is ineffective, let's try this!"
Madara Uchiha rapidly Hand Seals, his movements so fast they almost left afterimages.
The surrounding Natural Energy began to surge wildly, and a fairy face suddenly appeared on his forehead, with purple eyeshadow extending to his temples.
"Immortal Technique: Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch!"
He suddenly spread his arms wide, and countless purple lightning bolts, wrapped in Natural Energy, burst forth from his palms, weaving into a huge electric net in the air, completely surrounding the black python of the Moryo.
Sizzle sizzle--
The moment the lightning struck the black slime, a piercing sound erupted.
This time, the Moryo's slime could no longer absorb energy; instead, it was burned by the Senjutsu lightning and emitted blue smoke.
The swollen pythons writhed in agony, their surfaces charred black.
"Hmph, it worked as expected." Madara Uchiha's lips curled into a cold smile.
The core of the Moryo trembled violently, as if it sensed a threat.
Countless tentacles suddenly retracted, forming an impenetrable black barrier around the main body.
At the same time, the ground began to shake violently, and hundreds of thousands of the Immortal Army skeletons crawled out from underground and frantically rushed towards the location where Ban was.
"No matter how many small fry there are, they're still small fry." Madara Uchiha disdainfully, his hands Hand Seals once more.
Sage Art: Storm Release: Light Fang!
He took a deep breath and exhaled a beam of light wrapped in Natural Energy.
It is as thin as a hair, yet incredibly sharp.
Both the skull and the rock were neatly split in two.
The beam of light continued its relentless advance, slicing through the black barrier of the Moryo and leaving a deep scar on its core surface.
roar--
The Moryo let out a painful roar, and thick black liquid gushed from the wound in its core.
But soon, the fluid began to wriggle again, trying to heal the wound.
How could Madara Uchiha give it that opportunity?
"It's not over yet!"
He clasped his hands together abruptly, and the light from the immortal's mask shone brightly.
"Sage Art: Susanoo!"
Blue Chakra soared into the sky, and with the support of Natural Energy, the originally incomplete Susanoo instantly evolved into its complete form.
Moreover, this Susanoo's surface was wrapped in Senjutsu Chakra, and each of its four arms held a giant sword burning with energy.
"Cut!"
With Madara's command, Susanoo's four giant swords slashed down simultaneously.
Wherever the sword passed, space itself was subtly distorted, and the hastily assembled defense of the Moryo was easily torn apart like paper.
Just then, a streak of purple light suddenly flashed across the sky.
"Net!"
A clear, cold shout echoed across the battlefield, and a pure purple beam of light descended from the sky, striking the core of the Moryo precisely.
The distorted mass of dark matter suddenly emitted a piercing shriek, and the black viscous liquid on its surface boiled violently as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
Madara Uchiha sideways and saw Shion, her silver hair flowing, floating in mid-air.
Beside her, a gray-white figure was slowly coalescing.
At this moment, Hoshino's body was in a semi-transparent energy state, with countless golden and gray light spots flowing within him like a galaxy.
That is Mutant Insect Swarm cooperating with 'Qi' in an attempt to form a completely new energy circulation system.
This was precisely the solution Hoshino came up with.
By briefly fusing with the priestess, the mystery of her constitution is deciphered, and her dependence on Shion is fundamentally resolved.
The Mutant Insect Swarm reconstructed his physical body according to the analysis data. Spiral patterns similar to those of Shion appeared on the surface of his bones, and internal organs were formed, with barrier structures forming between nerve synapses.
It perfectly replicates the resonance between the shrine maiden and Natural Energy.
On the battlefield below, the battle between Madara Uchiha's Susanoo and the Moryo continues.
But this time, with Shion joining the team, everything started to become simpler.
The Priestess Power seems to have an innate suppressive effect on the power of the Moryo.
With a flick of Shion finger, Priestess Power transformed into countless butterflies of light that fluttered down. Each butterfly that touched the black Moryo ripples, like boiling water being dropped into a cold pool.
Those fluids that once devoured flames and were immune to lightning, in the face of pure Natural Energy, were like ice and snow meeting the sun, emitting a hissing vaporization sound.
The core of the Moryo trembled violently under the double blow, and a pale purple light seeped from the cracks in the runes on its surface.
"Mr. Madara, leave the rest to me!"
Shion's voice echoed across the battlefield, clear and resolute.
She Hand Seals with her hands in front of her chest, her long silver hair moved without wind, and nine illusory figures of priestesses appeared behind her in turn, each holding a different magical artifact.
The Kagura mirror reflects a purifying light, the bronze bell vibrates with sound waves that cleanse evil, and the gohei (ceremonial hat) scatters starlight as it is waved.
Madara Uchiha coldly, but still controlled Susanoo take a half step back, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"Interesting, let me see what the priestess is capable of."
Shion did not answer, her entire focus was on the core of the Moryo before her.
The pale purple light that seeped out grew stronger and stronger, as if echoing her power.
Suddenly, she pushed her hands forward, and a pure purple beam of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping the core of the Moryo.
"The cycle of a thousand years ends today."
