These black rods intertwined and interwoven
In the blink of an eye, a huge and sturdy absolute cage was constructed.
It trapped Reaper's enormous body tightly inside.
This is not just a physical confinement.
The Yin-Yang Cage contains the supreme laws of the Tensei Rinnegan.
Once trapped, even if the target dies, their soul will be locked in the cage, never to be reborn!
"Roar!"
Reaper roared in anger, brandishing his dagger and slamming it down on the black bar of the cage.
clang!
A deafening clang of metal rang out.
That indestructible, dark blue dagger couldn't even leave the slightest scratch on the Truth-Seeking Orb Jade Rod!
Immediately afterwards, a powerful sealing force erupted from within the cage.
Under the suppression of this force, Reaper's originally illusory, semi-transparent form...
It began to solidify slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Clear textures appeared on the pale skin, and the withered muscles became more textured.
Uchiha Xin's eyes narrowed as he observed the changes taking place in the cage.
"I see."
He gave a cold laugh.
"You are a real, physical being!"
"The reason those Ninjutsu and Sage Art were ineffective was because you used some special intangibility ability to avoid the damage."
"Now, within this Yin-Yang Cage, your ability to become ethereal has been completely sealed!"
Inside the cage.
Reaper, whose body had completely solidified, ceased its pointless hacking.
It slowly turned its head, its pale purple Rinnegan staring intently at Uchiha Xin.
"Human, you are very strong."
Reaper finally spoke.
Its voice was hoarse and hollow, as if it came from the depths of the deepest hell, carrying an unquestionable arrogance.
"You certainly have reason to be proud that you could force me to reveal my true form."
Reaper coldly stared at the black rod that had trapped him.
"But do you think a mere cage can confine me?"
boom!
The words had barely left his mouth.
A terrifyingly powerful force suddenly erupted from Reaper's body!
This power is a fusion of highly compressed Chakra and violent Senjutsu energy, far exceeding a simple cold aura!
The level of this fused power was actually approaching the Power of the Limit Uchiha Xin's power!
Click! Click!
Under the impact of the Reaper's terrifying power, several tiny cracks quietly appeared on the seemingly indestructible Yin-Yang Cage.
The cracks spread rapidly, making a creaking sound as if the weight was about to burst.
Uchiha Xin stared at the impending collapse of the cage, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
"Want to break out of prison? Dream on!"
Uchiha Xin's eye power was fully activated, and the azure light in his Tensei Rinnegan shone brilliantly.
He Hand Seals again, unleashing Reincarnation, preparing to completely suppress the powerful enemy.
Above the ruins of Mask Storage Temple, a dark purple barrier completely sealed off the surrounding space.
Uchiha Shin clasped his hands together abruptly, and the azure light in his Rinnegan reached its peak.
Reincarnation!
With a cold shout, an invisible and immense power of vision suddenly erupted.
This force ignores physical defenses.
Ignoring the obstruction of Chakra, it transformed directly into a giant soul hand invisible to the naked eye.
He fiercely grabbed at the Reaper trapped in the Yin-Yang Cage.
This is one of the top abilities of the Tensei Rinnegan, specializing in the soul.
Once the origin is grasped by this giant hand of the soul
Even if Hashirama Senju his peak, his soul would be instantly torn apart and he would be killed on the spot if he stood here.
The giant hand of the soul pierced through the massive body of Reaper without any resistance, and gripped its core tightly.
"Get out here!"
Uchiha Xin's eyes sharpened, and his pupil power suddenly pulled backward.
Reaper's massive body stiffened abruptly, its form swaying slightly as it was pulled by the terrifying force of the soul.
It only swayed slightly.
There was no piercing wail of a soul being ripped away, no sign of decay from the loss of life force.
Reaper hovered steadily in the cage, its aura undiminished.
Uchiha Xin frowned, Tensei Rinnegan returned with an unbelievable message.
They missed.
The giant hand of the soul grasped nothing within the Reaper's body; it was as if it had grasped at nothing at all.
How is that possible?
Uchiha Xin was secretly surprised.
Reaper let out a hoarse, hollow laugh.
"Human, your methods are indeed bizarre, but this move is meaningless to me."
Uchiha Xin ignored its taunts and rapidly circulated the Power of the Extreme Path within his body.
The Tensei Rinnegan intently at the Reaper's body, scrutinizing it carefully.
It has a vibrant vitality.
There is a massive flow of Chakra.
It has a realistic flesh-and-blood feel.
However, there was no soul fluctuation.
There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation of soul energy.
Uchiha Xin instantly grasped the key point.
It wasn't that this Reaper was stronger than him.
It was able to withstand the deadly attack of Reincarnation and Rebirth, but this special being simply had no soul!
Reincarnation and Rebirth specialize in the soul level, and are naturally completely ineffective against a physical body that doesn't even have a soul.
"I see."
Uchiha Xin suddenly realized and gave a cold laugh.
He put his hands back into his pockets and spoke with a confident tone.
No wonder Reincarnation and Rebirth are ineffective against you.
"There is no soul in this body you have."
The Reaper's laughter abruptly stopped, and his pale purple Rinnegan shrank sharply.
Seeing the Reaper's reaction, Uchiha Xin continued to press forward relentlessly.
"It has no soul yet possesses a physical form, and its body contains such abundant life force and Chakra."
"They can even use the Rinnegan and high-level barriers."
"This method is exactly the same as Nagato's Six Paths of Pain puppet system."
"No, you should say that Nagato's Six Paths of Pain are just inferior imitations that you've already finished playing with."
Uchiha Xin stared directly at the Reaper in mid-air, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.
"In the Shinobi World, only someone could master this puppet system to such an unparalleled degree."
"Even the successive Hokage of Konoha were kept in the dark; there was only one person who willingly sacrificed their soul."
Uchiha Xin pronounced the name slowly and deliberately.
" The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Am I right?"
The Reaper's body trembled violently, and a terrifying light burst forth from his pale purple Rinnegan.
Snap! Boom!
With a deafening roar, the Yin-Yang Cage that had imprisoned Reaper shattered completely, turning into a sky full of black powder.
The Reaper's massive body hovered in mid-air, looking down at Uchiha Xin.
It no longer feigned anything; its voice was originally hoarse and hollow.
In an instant, it transformed into an ancient, majestic male voice, as if it had witnessed the vicissitudes of a thousand years.
"Young man, you're very smart. Smart enough to surprise people."
Reaper readily admitted his identity.
"Now that you've seen through me, there's no need for me to hide anymore."
"That's right, I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki."
