Chapter 462 Someone is trying to escape
"Otsutsuki Shingen... is he really dead?"
Otsutsuki Kugen's Adam's apple bobbed violently as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva that tasted of blood.
He stared intently at the figure of Uchiha Mitsunaga, his eyes flashing with intense fear and confusion.
Fear, like cold vines, instantly entwined the five high-ranking Otsutsuki members, sending chills down their spines.
While Otsutsuki Shingen's strength wasn't top-tier among them, he was certainly no weakling. Yet, he was so swiftly and decisively killed by Uchiha Sanpo and Otsutsuki Kaguya.
This made them realize for the first time that the combination of these two people was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
Stop pretending.
Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes were as cold as frost, and an invisible wave of energy spread out from him, splattering blood and bits of flesh all over the ground.
"You're next."
The chilling killing intent pressed down on the five high-ranking officials as if it were a tangible force, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.
"Hmph, don't think you can be arrogant just because you killed Otsutsuki Shingen! With the five of us working together, do you think we're afraid of a junior like you?"
Suppressing his fear, Otsutsuki Mikaki raised his head and let out a deafening roar.
He slammed his feet into the ground, and the gravity field instantly expanded, like an invisible boulder, crushing towards the Uchiha Mitsurugi.
Wherever the gravitational field passes, the surrounding space and light are distorted.
The shadow clones in the front row were suddenly pressed down by the gravity, causing them to shrink and turn into a wisp of smoke, dissipating into the air.
Otsutsuki Kugen forced himself to steady his mind. The space in front of him shattered like glass, and countless dark spatial fragments, like sharp blades, swept towards his shadow clone.
Otsutsuki Kūkū, Otsutsuki Shōjin, and Otsutsuki Furin dared not hold back in the slightest and launched a full-scale attack at the same time, instantly escalating the battle.
With the full cooperation of the five high-ranking Otsutsuki members, their offensive was far more intense than before.
Multiple energies intertwined, forming a multicolored, deadly energy curtain.
Although the six-path level shadow clones were fearless and undaunted, they all collapsed under such a dense attack.
Golden smoke dissipated in patches, and the air was filled with the hissing sound of chakra annihilation.
In just a few breaths, most of the remaining shadow clones were lost, but the momentum of the Otsutsuki high command was also completely halted, and they could no longer advance.
"Is that all you've got?"
Upon seeing this, Otsutsuki Kūgen revealed a ferocious sneer on his face, his gaze occasionally glancing in the direction of Otsutsuki Kaguya.
His figure flickered and instantly entered a state of nothingness, his figure and aura completely disappearing, as if he had merged into space and become invisible.
In his ethereal state, he moved at incredible speed, traversing the chaotic energy currents of the battlefield without being affected in the slightest.
He conjured a sharp, pale gray energy spike in his hand, aiming it straight at Uchiha Sanfeng's forehead and brain.
Otsutsuki Kūkō secretly rejoiced: "Those who have witnessed this move of mine are all dead. If this strike lands, I can finish him off instantly!"
"Sanfeng, watch out!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes narrowed, and with her keen sense of space, she instantly caught the movement trajectory of Otsutsuki Kuu.
Without hesitation, she instantly stepped in front of Uchiha Mitsunaga, her arm lashing out with a fierce slash into the air: "Divine Art: Spatial Annihilation!"
A thin, cicada-wing-like spatial force instantly materialized and slashed towards the void.
In his void state, Otsutsuki Kūken thought he could ignore all physical attacks and appeared behind Uchiha Mitsurugi without any warning.
But just as he was about to make his move, the spatial blade arrived and tore through his void barrier.
With a "whoosh," the space vanished from Otsutsuki's empty shoulder, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone. The flesh and blood at the wound continued to be annihilated under the influence of the spatial rules, making it impossible to even stop the bleeding.
"Ugh!"
The empty form of the Ōtsutsuki was forced to withdraw from the state of nothingness, staggering back several steps.
He stared at his wound in disbelief, then looked up at Kaguya Otsutsuki, his eyes filled with fear and confusion: "You could actually penetrate my Void state? This is impossible! The Void state is immune to all energy attacks! What kind of divine technique did you use?"
Otsutsuki Kūken couldn't understand how the state of nothingness he relied on for survival could be so easily broken.
"The spatial rules that Ten no Michū controls are beyond the comprehension of someone at your level."
Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes were as cold as knives, and her tone was full of disdain.
The spatial blade that she conjured in her hand was even more dazzling than before, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted by it.
"If you want to hurt him, you'll have to get past me first. Today, none of you will be able to harm him in the slightest."
Kaguya Otsutsuki's spatial chakra surged once more, forming an invisible spatial barrier that protected her and the Uchiha Mitsunori within it.
"court death!"
Seeing that Otsutsuki Kouki was injured, a fierce glint flashed in Otsutsuki Shojin's eyes, but he secretly rejoiced, thinking, "Otsutsuki Kouki's injury is perfect for weakening the others. After dealing with these two, I'll take care of them!"
The countless green energy threads that were originally extending towards the Six Paths Shadow Clones of Otsutsuki suddenly changed direction, like countless hungry venomous snakes, shooting wildly towards Otsutsuki Kaguya with a "hissing" sound.
These energy threads moved at incredible speeds, leaving trails of green afterimages in the air as they precisely wrapped around Kaguya's limbs and neck.
He knew very well that Kaguya's spatial magic was extremely troublesome. As long as he could entangle Kaguya, he could forcibly plunder her life force, which would not only weaken the enemy but also replenish his own consumption, making it a win-win situation.
Otsutsuki Shojin licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed, as if he could already see the scene of Otsutsuki Kaguya's life force being completely plundered by him.
Uchiha Mitsunori naturally wouldn't let Kaguya Otsutsuki deal with him alone. He flashed and, as if teleporting, stood beside Kaguya Otsutsuki without the slightest hesitation.
His eye technique, the Eye of God, was operating at high speed. His golden pupils shimmered with a mysterious light, clearly capturing the trajectory of every energy thread and even discerning the energy fluctuations flowing along them.
He raised his hand and gently touched the green energy threads, instantly unleashing a surge of pale purple spiritual power. He uttered a low shout: "Divine Art - Mental Barrier!"
Several semi-transparent, pale purple light walls instantly formed, like sturdy shields, precisely blocking the two people and firmly stopping all the green energy threads.
These walls of light contained a powerful counterforce. The green energy threads wrapped around them were not only unable to break through, but were also shaken slightly by the counterforce of the light walls. Some threads even broke directly and dissipated as green energy.
Uchiha Mitsunori turned to look at Otsutsuki Kaguya and asked softly, "Are you alright?"
Seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki shake her head, Uchiha Mitsunori turned his gaze to Otsutsuki Sakura again, a cold glint in his eyes.
Seeing this, the Otsutsuki executives felt even more uneasy.
They assumed that this kind of mental divine technique was originally the ability of the Uchiha Sanfeng. After all, Kaguya Otsutsuki also mastered many divine techniques, so it was not surprising that someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her would possess such abilities.
"Another mental-type divine technique... Could it be that Otsutsuki Shingen died because he encountered a powerful opponent of the same type!"
Otsutsuki Furin frowned deeply, his shock growing stronger, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
Otsutsuki Furin looked up at Otsutsuki Kaguya, her gaze extremely complex.
All five of them knew Kaguya Otsutsuki, but none of them expected that in just over a thousand years, Kaguya Otsutsuki's strength had increased to such an extent, not to mention that she was accompanied by Uchiha Mitsumine, who also possessed divine arts.
"Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki were ordered to the ninja world to retrieve the fruits of the Divine Tree, but they've never returned... It seems they most likely died at the hands of these two!"
The thought flashed through Otsutsuki Furei's mind, and a chill instantly spread throughout his body.
But he dared not be negligent in the slightest, and golden sealing runes kept emerging from his hands. The runes were filled with ancient energy and exuded a heavy aura.
"Divine Art: Sealing Barrier!"
He let out a low shout, and countless golden sealing runes intertwined and condensed into the shape of chains, wrapping around the two of them.
These sealing runes can not only seal the flow of chakra, but also interfere with the normal operation of energy. Once entangled, one's strength will be greatly reduced, and one may even be directly sealed.
Otsutsuki Furei thought to himself, "If we can seal their energy, we can easily defeat them!"
"A trivial skill."
A hint of disdain flashed in Uchiha Mitsunori's calm eyes.
"Divine Spell: Mind Storm!"
He pushed his hands forward, and the pale purple spiritual energy spun wildly in front of him, forming a huge energy vortex that forcibly pulled all the incoming sealing shackles into it.
The sealing shackles spun and collided in the vortex, making a "clinking" sound. In just a moment, they were completely shattered, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated into the air.
Immediately afterward, Uchiha Mitsunori's fingers moved rapidly, and the chakra of flames was fully gathered. He uttered a low shout: "Sage Art: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A raging inferno erupted from the mouth of Uchiha Sanfeng, forming a gigantic fire dragon that roared deafeningly and swept towards Otsutsuki Furei with a scorching heatwave.
This Great Fire Annihilation Technique, amplified by Sage Chakra, is far more powerful than ordinary Fire Release. Wherever it passes, the air is scorched and distorted, and the floor tiles are directly melted, forming pools of scorching lava.
Otsutsuki Furin's expression changed drastically, a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He quickly activated the remaining chakra within his body, and countless golden sealing runes rapidly condensed, forming a thick defensive barrier in front of him, attempting to withstand the fire dragon's attack.
However, the power of the Great Fire Annihilation Technique of the Uchiha Three Peaks was too terrifying. The defensive barrier only lasted for a moment before it cracked and then completely collapsed.
