Chapter 180: Nagato's Cheat Activated Once More

"Uchiha Feiyu, today is the day you die!"

Nagato spoke with a cold expression, and the Susanoo surrounding his body opened its mouth, spewing out a monstrous torrent of flames.

"Ten Thousand Transformations Sacred Art!"

Uchiha Feiyu did not hesitate, directly unleashing a secret technique from the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art. The originally monstrous flames instantly withered, and even Uzumaki Nagato's Susanoo began to shrink significantly.

The remaining flames struck Uchiha Feiyu, only to be easily blocked by the Lightning Susanoo armor outside his body—nowadays, both Uchiha Feiyu and Uzumaki Nagato had entered the state of Sage Mode, so naturally, they could not absorb each other's ninjutsu.

Feeling the power of his ninjutsu regress by a large margin, Uzumaki Nagato's eyes narrowed slightly; he truly had not expected Uchiha Feiyu's strength to have reached such a level.

"Damn it... did this guy not use his full strength in the last battle either?"

Nagato felt a shock in his heart, but Uchiha Feiyu had already exerted force, the Black Blade in his hand erupting with terrifying lightning, slicing the degenerated Susanoo chakra blade in two!

Subsequently, the surging lightning formed a blade of lightning dozens of meters long, which slashed directly at the Susanoo. With a soft sound, the massive Susanoo was cut into two pieces by the lightning blade.

Fortunately, Nagato had exited the Susanoo before that, looking at Uchiha Feiyu with a very ugly expression, feeling vaguely in his heart that it would likely still be very difficult for him to defeat Uchiha Feiyu this time.

"No, I still have the power unique to the Rinnegan... I will use this move to finish this guy off!"

As if sensing his intense unwillingness, a special kind of chakra began to resonate with his Rinnegan. In an instant, Nagato's body disappeared without a trace amidst a swirling space vortex.

Nagato roared. Relying on his intangibility ability, Uchiha Feiyu almost completely immunized himself against all of Nagato's ninjutsu, easily dragging Nagato into close-quarters combat, while Nagato had no way to counter it.

Even with the Great Toad Sage's transmission of power, Nagato's base stats had climbed significantly, and the gap between him and Uchiha Feiyu was no longer large, but in terms of combat awareness, he was still far inferior to Uchiha Feiyu.

Therefore, facing Uchiha Feiyu's mountain-splitting sword techniques, he was beaten into retreating repeatedly.

It was for this reason that when a Limbo: Border Jail clone was cut in two by Uchiha Feiyu's blade, Nagato finally revealed a look of horror:

"Why, how can you see my Limbo: Border Jail clone!"

The lightning-fast blade light slashed out a terrifying shockwave, leaving a hundred-meter-long gully in the earth. With the terrifying sword energy already upon him, Nagato gritted his teeth and activated his own Shinra Tensei.

In an instant, two black-and-white figures suddenly flashed out from Nagato's body, pouncing toward Uchiha Feiyu. Uchiha Feiyu was slightly stunned, recognizing the ninjutsu Nagato had unleashed:

"This is Limbo: Border Jail? You've even developed this power unique to the Rinnegan? But it's a pity... if the Dojutsu of the Rinnegan had levels, Limbo: Border Jail would undoubtedly belong to the lowest level, a trump card that can only be used to bully the weak!"

"Idiot, as long as one possesses Yin-Yang Release or the power of the Rinnegan, one can clearly see this kind of clone. You wouldn't still be treating this as your trump card, would you!"

Am I going to lose again? I am truly unwilling! Everyone has placed their hopes on me, but I am unable to do anything...

However, Uzumaki Nagato had only developed the ultimate technique of Limbo: Border Jail in the last few days, and besides him, there was no toad or ninja in Mount Myoboku whose strength could even touch the edge of the Six Paths Level, so he simply did not know that Six Paths Level powerhouses could also see Limbo: Border Jail clones!

Whether it was Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'in, or even the so-called Chibaku Tensei, facing Uchiha Feiyu's intangibility ability, they could be said to be completely meaningless.

"Damn it... that damned Space-Time Ninjutsu!!"

It's just that the stealth ability can only deceive opponents without Six Paths power; any powerhouse of the same level can see Limbo: Border Jail clones. In battles between equals, it only serves to transfer damage, which is truly far inferior to Sasuke Uchiha's Amenotejikara.

Nagato unleashed the abilities of the Asura Path, relying on the various mechanical limbs and weapons that grew out to barely contend with Uchiha Feiyu for a time, but at this moment, the various mechanical limbs growing on his body had been completely shattered, and he had even sustained quite a few injuries himself.

All along, Nagato had been a mage-turret type character; it could not be said that his taijutsu was terrible, but compared to his ninjutsu, it was undoubtedly a weakness.

Limbo: Border Jail is considered a top-tier Clone Technique, capable of splitting off a clone whose strength is very close to the original body, with its greatest characteristics being damage transfer and stealth ability.

Uchiha Feiyu chuckled, then lightning erupted from his body, turning into a bolt of lightning as he slashed toward Uzumaki Nagato.

Shinra Tensei and the sword energy stalemated for a moment before disappearing simultaneously, while Uchiha Feiyu turned into a phantom, piercing through all attacks and appearing before Nagato once again.

Not to mention that Uchiha Feiyu specialized in the White Fang sword style, primarily practicing Ninja Body Technique, whereas Nagato, because of the Rinnegan, had spent the least amount of energy on taijutsu.

"This aura... it's the power of the Pure Land!"

Uchiha Feiyu frowned as he arrived at the place where Nagato had disappeared. His own Space-Time Ninjutsu ability was not low at all; under quiet perception, he could sense the different dimension emitting that massive soul aura.

However, although he could vaguely sense the existence of the Pure Land, Uchiha Feiyu had no way to enter it. It seemed to have been designed with a very complex Barrier, and relying solely on Uchiha Feiyu's current attainments in Space-Time Ninjutsu, he was not yet able to enter it.

"The Sage of Six Paths, are you handing out cheats again? As expected, the situation has headed toward the worst possible outcome!"

"The Great Toad Sage and the Sage of Six Paths, these two old things seem to be intentionally avoiding me... to be precise, they don't dare to face me at all. Could it be that they know about my Spirit-Binding and Soul-Commanding?"

A long time ago, before Uchiha Feiyu had awakened to the Mangekyo state and possessed the Tsukuyomi Illusion Space, there was a limit to the number of souls he could control using Spirit-Binding and Soul-Commanding, so for a period of time, Uchiha Feiyu had released some weak and discarded souls.

Later, after possessing the Tsukuyomi Illusion Space, even if the number of souls exceeded the control capacity of Spirit-Binding and Soul-Commanding, Uchiha Feiyu would stuff them into the Tsukuyomi Illusion Space to increase the power of his Illusion Space, and even later, he would simply refine the souls into Pills or absorb the Origin of the souls, leaving only a bit of true spirit to reincarnate.

"All souls will eventually return to the Pure Land. Theoretically, as long as it is ninjutsu information known to the dead, the Sage of Six Paths can obtain it. I have controlled so many souls that the Sage of Six Paths, the master of the Pure Land, has likely had his eye on me for a long time."

"If that's the case, those souls I released back to the Pure Land likely brought some of my information to the Sage of Six Paths from the very beginning; at the very least, this ability to control souls like Spirit-Binding and Soul-Commanding cannot be hidden..."

"Fortunately, in the later stages, I drained the souls dry whenever I killed someone, otherwise, I fear even more information would have leaked."

Honestly, for Uchiha Feiyu, the Sage of Six Paths giving Nagato a cheat was truly a more troublesome matter than him appearing in person, with the level of trouble second only to the Sage of Six Paths being fully resurrected.

Even if the soul-state Sage of Six Paths were stronger than Nagato, Uchiha Feiyu would not be afraid, but if Nagato, having obtained a cheat, gained the ability to deal with Space-Time Ninjutsu, combined with powers like the Truth-Seeking Ball, then Uchiha Feiyu would only be able to choose a strategic retreat.

Especially that famous god-tier technique—Chibaku Tensei; even Otsutsuki Kaguya, with her Heavenly Hand Power, did not escape the result of being sealed. Uchiha Feiyu did not think his Kamui and flying thunder god could block this kind of power.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Feiyu immediately had thoughts of retreating, but before leaving, he certainly would not leave behind the hidden danger that was Mount Myoboku.

"What a pity, I was originally planning to turn these toads into Pills... now I can only waste a little bit!"

Massive gravitational and repulsive forces condensed into form in Uchiha Feiyu's hands, and then he slowly flew into the sky of Mount Myoboku. Sensing this terrifying chakra, the various large and small toads of Mount Myoboku, the Toad Sage Jiraiya, Konan, Yahiko, and a group of others all rushed over immediately.

These people could not intervene in the battle between Uchiha Feiyu and Uzumaki Nagato just now, and even to avoid distraction, they had to stay far away from the battlefield. Now that everyone felt Uzumaki Nagato's chakra disappear, they all rushed over at once.

These people and toads did not know that Uzumaki Nagato had been sucked into the Pure Land for the Sage of Six Paths to personally give him a cheat; they only thought that Nagato, whose chakra signature had disappeared, had been killed by Uchiha Feiyu.

Yahiko, Konan, and Jiraiya were all grief-stricken, and a group of toads also equipped their weapons and charged directly over.

Although they all knew very well that their Power Level against a ninja of Uchiha Feiyu's rank would only result in being killed in an instant, they did not think Uchiha Feiyu would spare them, so it was better to die on the path of the charge.

Facing these charging rebels, Uchiha Feiyu did not indulge them either. The Shinra Tensei, condensed to a few points, erupted in an instant:

"Super—Shinra Tensei!!"

A terrifying repulsive force surged out. Although all the toads, as well as Jiraiya and the others, tried their best to use various ninjutsu to resist, the powerful repulsive force erupted throughout Mount Myoboku as if it had not been affected in the slightest.

Mountains shattered, the earth was overturned, and amidst the terrifying pressure like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, with Uchiha Feiyu as the center, the entire Mount Myoboku was completely leveled. The originally beautiful small world seemed to instantly become a huge crater.

As for those poor toads, they were almost instantly torn to pieces. Even toads the size of small mountains like Gamaken, Gamabunta, and Gamahiro were instantly crushed into a pile of toad mud.

The stronger the body, the greater the pressure naturally received. Although these three toads had tenacious vitality, it was precisely because their bodies were too massive that they died even more easily.

A rumbling sound rose from the ground, and the entire Mount Myoboku seemed to be trembling. Vaguely, one could see among the trembling Mount Myoboku the figure of a toad so huge it had reached the limit, having already merged with the mountains.

The largest toad of Mount Myoboku, the legendary Great Toad of the Rock Lodging!

Just like the Great Toad Sage Slug that has never been fully summoned, the Great Rock-Lodging Toad has also never been fully summoned by a contractor due to its incomparably massive true body; at most, only a part of its true body has been summoned.

Yet, just a small section of its intestine is the size of a cave, so one can naturally imagine the scale of its true body.

Uchiha Feiyu secretly calculated that this toad was at least seven or eight hundred meters in size, almost catching up to the Thousand-Armed Buddha summoned by Senju Hashirama; at such a scale, combined with the fact that this toad had merged with the mountain range, the power of Shinra Tensei was insufficient to kill the opponent instantly.

Even so, this giant toad was crushed until it spat out blood wildly, looking severely injured and on the verge of death.

"The number of toads in Mount Myoboku is quite large... I've really earned a lot!"

Uchiha Feiyu sensed the Dark Inheritance Book, and this alone increased his Black Qi by tens of thousands of strands, and in terms of quality, it was much stronger than when he dealt with those chakra soldiers in the Land of Wind.

There are probably hundreds of thousands or even a million toads in Mount Myoboku, but only a few tens of thousands have truly awakened their Soul and intelligence.

The Black Qi used for sacrifice is not obtained only by killing humans; to be precise, one must kill sentient beings.

A portion of these toads in Mount Myoboku can undoubtedly be classified as sentient beings; they have not only achieved Awakening of the self and possess language and writing for communication, but have even formed a small toad society, so naturally, killing them can also yield Black Qi.

Moreover, these toads that have awakened their intelligence are not weak in strength or potential; although their external Power Level does not appear very high, in reality, the chakra of these toads is much stronger than that of ordinary ninja, it is just that the vast majority of toads only rely on instinct to fight, unlike ninja who are proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and Genjutsu.

"Damn it... truly damnable..."

A large white-haired cocoon slowly opened, and Jiraiya, with blood still flowing from his mouth, crawled out from inside; looking at the ruins all around, he struck the ground fiercely.

"Little Jiraiya, you must escape quickly..."

The tiny-bodied Immortal Fukasaku jumped out from behind Jiraiya; because of his small size, a ninjutsu like Shinra Tensei did not cause him much damage, and thus, although he was not lightly injured, he still retained his Power Level.

"I will use the Reverse Summoning Technique to send you back to the Ninja World... find a way to summon some small toads from Mount Myoboku and take them away!"

"The situation is now beyond saving; we can only find a way to preserve some of the sparks of Mount Myoboku!"
