Chapter 105: World Rank, Buddha-Son · Guanyin

The Myriad Soul Banner tore through the spatial barrier, a sea of blood emerged from nothingness, and dark green Nether Qi covered the interior space of the Moon Star.

The presence of the six Fourth Rank peak Ghost Kings was negligible; combined, they did not equal the leading Fifth Rank peak powerhouse.

Buddha light shone everywhere, holy energy surged.

A disciple of a major Buddhist sect, appearing as a youth with a Buddha sword on his back and wearing monk robes, looked at the strange-looking wooden Buddha.

This ghost came from the major Buddhist sect of Xianmo Weiyang's hometown and was the contemporary Buddha-Son.

Not long ago, during a clash with the Immortal Dao major sect true disciple Xianmo Weiyang—who was wearing the mask of a loose demonic cultivator—he had seen through the Immortal-Demon Xianmo Weiyang's identity.

Hearing the Immortal-Demon Xianmo Weiyang speak of the "Evolution Paradise," the Buddha-Son Guanyin voluntarily entered the Myriad Soul Banner, wanting to save the great demon of the chaotic world.

Although he had fallen into the Netherworld, the Buddha-Son's original nature remained unchanged; he still maintained a devout Buddhist heart and could not bear to see Senju Hashirama defile his faith.

The Buddha-Son's brows furrowed slightly, his expression displeased: "False and deceptive! Evil obstacle! Such audacity!"

"Guanyin, raise the sword!"

His life-bound weapon, "Buddha Sword · Guanyin," was unsheathed.

The Buddha-Son flicked his finger, and the unstoppable "Buddha Sword · Guanyin" slashed out holy Buddha light sword energy, with thousands of dreamlike bubbles deriving in its wake.

The sword light vertically cleaved Senju Hashirama's Buddha-Wooden Dragon composite body, and the shattered dreamlike bubbles annihilated the ancient forest created by Senju Hashirama.

"You six, coordinate with the subordinates of the Great Venerable of the Land of Rain to jointly strangle these two arrogant fools."

"This monk will go meet the so-called 'Sage of Six Paths'."

The Buddha-Son glanced at Senju Hashirama, who had luckily survived his casual strike, and ignored the frantically fleeing Great Hero Tree King.

"Divine Foot Skill!"

Where the heart points, the body can go.

With one step, the distance of a thousand miles was spanned, and the youth Buddha-Son vanished from where he stood.

The six Nascent Soul Great Perfection Ghost Kings (Fourth Rank peak, C+) only then dared to slowly raise their heads, saying in unison: "Obey the Buddha-Son's command."

In the Immortal-Demon Xianmo Weiyang's "Myriad Soul Banner · Residential Apartment Complex," strength was everything.

With a Fifth Rank peak comprehensive evaluation, even Xianmo Weiyang had only this one subordinate of such quality.

The Immortal-Demon Xianmo Weiyang wanted to demonize the Buddha-Son, while the Buddha-Son wanted to convert the great demon; the two barely reached a certain level of cooperation.

Those below Third Rank were cannon fodder, fit only for communal bunks.

Fourth Rank were elite leaders, who could live in small single rooms.

Fifth Rank were hero units, who could enjoy large suites.

The Buddha-Son Guanyin was special and lived in a luxury suite.

There was also an empty, unoccupied super-luxury suite that Xianmo Weiyang had specifically reserved for Meng Yi.

Just as Meng Yi had prepared the "Immortal-Demon Apostle Transformation Laboratory" for Xianmo Weiyang.

The youth Buddha-Son departed, and the six Ghost Kings formed the "Blood Soul Nether Spirit Battle Array," shrouding the blood sea over the Moon Star's interior dome, falling upon the human world like a torrential downpour of blood.

Nether Qi outlined the contours, and the blood sea condensed into a physical form.

The "Nether Ghost Great Demon," which originally required the sacrifice of a nation's souls to manifest, was forcibly unleashed by the six Ghost Kings working together.

The Nether Ghost Great Demon, reaching from heaven to earth, stood up, and the boundless blood sea beneath its feet churned, continuously devouring the forest sea that Senju Hashirama was remaking.

Uchiha Madara, who was locked in a fierce battle with the six apostles, saw that Senju Hashirama's situation was dire and decisively split off two "Limbo · Susanoo" to come and help Senju Hashirama escape his predicament.

The invisible "Limbo · Susanoo" sent the "Nether Ghost Great Demon" staggering.

Senju Hashirama, with his seasoned combat experience, seized the opportunity to escape the encirclement of the Nether Blood Sea.

"Roar—!!!"

Driven by wild instinct and retaining only hatred for the living, the "Nether Ghost Great Demon" roared in anger, whipping up a monstrous Nether Blood Sea to devour the two shadow Susanoos until they could no longer maintain their forms and gradually dissipated.

With his technique broken, a trail of blood leaked from Uchiha Madara's Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.

How could the six apostles currently battling him miss the chance to beat a drowning dog?

"Sword of Heavenly Fire!"

"Surging Wind!"

"Great Fission!"

"Cold Illumination of Ten Thousand Rivers!"

"Thunder Welcome!"

"Five Elements Rotation!"

The techniques of Apostle Jin, Apostle Qing, Apostle Yue, Apostle Shuang, and Apostle Ming were mobilized by the Blood Apostle · Red Queen.

A single strike of "Five Elements Rotation" shattered the two shadow Susanoos and annihilated the small half of the Susanoo armor on the "Beast of Difficulty · Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."

Uchiha Madara manipulated the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to flee rapidly, successfully reuniting with the mutually rushing Senju Hashirama.

"Hashirama, are you afraid?"

"Hahaha! Madara, don't tell me you have moments of fear too!"

Standing on the shoulders of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Madara and Hashirama looked at each other and smiled.

To the left was the apostle troupe, to the right was the "Nether Ghost Great Demon," and their own states were far from optimistic; no matter how one looked at it, there was no way to survive.

"Then let's fight them to the death!"

"Right! Fight them to the death!"

Senju Hashirama pressed both hands against the shell of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, rapidly infusing the fused energy of Earth, Water, Yang, and Nature.

Without Tailed Beasts, he would use his own chakra to activate the demonic creature!

"Sage Art · Extreme · Wood Human Technique!"

The closed eyes on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path gradually opened, and Uchiha Madara exhausted himself squeezing the energy of his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, once again condensing "Limbo."

"Limbo Susanoo · Beast of Difficulty!"

Four shadow Susanoos overlapped with the sky-blue armored Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

"Sage Art · Extreme · Wood Dragon Technique!"

The withered wooden stakes on the spine of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path transformed into the shape of a wood dragon!

"Not enough! Not enough! Still not enough!!"

Senju Hashirama roared loudly, and the "Six Paths Power · Yang" squeezed from within his body completely dissipated!

"Sage Art · Extreme · Top Transcendent · True Several Thousand Hands · Armored Armor!"

The forcibly condensed super wooden Buddha draped a layer of sturdy black Truth-Seeking Ball wooden armor over the strange-looking Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

"Go, Madara, this is my final power!"

"Hahaha! Received! Watch me! Even if I die, I'll drag a few down with me!"

Uchiha Madara laughed crazily, his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan regressing into an ordinary Rinnegan.

Even if his "Six Paths Power · Yin" was completely exhausted, he would dance one more time with Senju Hashirama!

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path gained the armor that Senju Hashirama had poured his all into, and Uchiha Madara only needed to focus on attacking.

The four-fold shadow Susanoo Beast of Difficulty and the one-fold conventional Beast of Difficulty were stripped from the shell of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and compressed to the extreme into a high-density giant sword!

"Still not enough!"

Uchiha Madara's eyes revealed a ruthless look as he added his Yin-Yang Release · Truth-Seeking Ball to the five-in-one Susanoo sword.

Focus on one point, only then can one—reach the pinnacle!

The pitch-black sword that destroyed all phenomena was finally gripped in the palm of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

The "Nether Ghost Great Demon" attacked, the wood dragon tail of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path tore into it, and the wooden Buddha's Yin-Yang Release armor resisted the fierce offensive of the Nether Ghost Great Demon.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path swung the five-in-one Susanoo Truth-Seeking Ball sword, hacking the "Nether Ghost Great Demon" until it hissed and shrieked repeatedly.

The six apostles unleashed the magnetic field Five Elements attack technique, blasting the armor of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path until it was pitted and scarred.

The completely crazed Uchiha Madara attacked without defending, the ten wood dragon tails releasing the "Nether Ghost Great Demon," all returning to one, striking the apostle legion horizontally!

The unified wood dragon tail, wreathed in destructive aura, collided with the crystal wall layer unleashed by the apostle legion.

"Boom—!"

A heaven-shaking loud noise shook the cosmic space.

The fragmented Moon Star was blasted into two halves by a single strike, and the terrifying force sent the apostles crashing toward the Ninja World Star.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, stepping on meteorites, lunged at the "Nether Ghost Great Demon."

The two monsters of the same size engaged in a high-intensity clash amidst the shattered meteorite field.

"Spatial Teleportation!"

The six apostles unleashed spatial abilities, returning to the meteorite field battlefield.

Regardless of whether the two monsters locked in combat were friend or foe, the apostle legion continuously unleashed magnetic field power, attacking both the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the "Nether Ghost Great Demon."

Without the Immortal-Demon Xianmo Weiyang personally manipulating it, the "Nether Ghost Great Demon" could not fully exert its power, barely reaching the threshold of "Super Six Paths Level" (B, Fifth Rank middle), unable to suppress the all-out Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama head-on.

The blood sea and soul river were rapidly consumed, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, combining Six Paths Yin-Yang power, could not last long.

The attacks of the six apostles squeezing their energy cores made the state of the two monsters even worse.

Ninja World Star outer space battlefield.

Otsutsuki Hamura, at full capacity, was still no match for Meng Yi's masterpiece · Apostle Li.

Hamura's limit burst could only bridge the gap with Apostle Li; how could he win a war of attrition?

One drum, then decline, then exhaustion.

With black flame gauze burning around his body, Apostle Li in constant heavy ion mode continuously shattered the ghost-fied Hamura's body, forcing Hamura to consume energy to regenerate rapidly.

"Bang—!"

The superb force shook the void, and Apostle Li pressed the head of the ghost-fied Hamura, flying rapidly.

Along the way, he smashed through meteorites of varying sizes, finally landing on a gas giant planet next to the Ninja World Star.

The deeper they went into the gas giant, the higher the density became.

The gas turned into liquid, until solid ground formed.

"If you have the ability, borrow natural energy and show me again!"

Apostle Li kicked the ghost-fied Hamura away, and the solidified ground collapsed.

The ghost-fied Hamura resurrected and returned; the natural energy he had absorbed was completely exhausted in the battle, and he could only rely on the ghost of his bloodline to put up a desperate fight.

Hamura did not answer, climbed up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and no longer repaired the missing parts of his body.

"Little girl, the Immortal of Nature is my brother's path."

"My foundation, my eyes, all come from the ghost of the bloodline."

The ghost-fied Hamura smiled, "Today, I will let you see what a complete ghost god is!"

The Tenseigan Chakra Mode was dissipating, and the sky-blue Tenseigan was vibrating violently!

The ghost-fied Hamura abandoned his suppression of the uncontrollable ghost of the bloodline, and the endless bloodline power surged from his limbs and bones; his already distorted ghost-fied form became even more ferocious.

The giant distorted ghost monster lost its sanity, emitting a bestial roar unlike that of a human.

"Is that so?"

"This place is far enough from the Ninja World Star that it won't be detected by the 'Ancient Array of Refining Heaven · Immortal-Demon Runes'..."

"Therefore, you will have the honor of seeing a corner of the Creator's majesty."

Apostle Li also smiled, connecting to the "Infinite Star · Alien Time-Space Fortress" through spatial ability.

"Apostle-level authority connection!"

"World Rank, blessing!"

"Yin-Yang Five Elements Law, blessing!"

Fifth Rank · Middle (B) → Fifth Rank · Peak (B+)!

Apostle Li, draped in black flame gauze, lightly raised her right hand, bringing her index and middle fingers together, with weak but real laws clinging to them.

"Yin-Yang Rotation · Five Elements Mutual Generation!"

A seven-colored intertwined beam pierced through the chest of the Ghost God Hamura, forcibly crushing Otsutsuki Hamura's ghost of the bloodline and nailing him to the solidified hydrogen ground.

Apostle Li dispersed the rank blessing state; the momentary blessing caused irreversible damage to her "Bai Xue Battle Body" and "Energy Core," and she would need to return to the factory for repairs afterward to recover as before.

If the rank blessing were activated for a long time, this body would likely collapse, and she would have to reshape a new one.

She still cared very much about her body, and changing it was not within her expectations.

"Vulnerable, to be defeated by the Creator's power is the honor of your life!"

Apostle Li walked up leisurely, leaning over to grip Otsutsuki Hamura's head.

Holding her breath for a moment, at the cost of overloading her core, she temporarily opened a spatial passage that could accommodate ordinary people, and returned to the "Infinite Star · Alien Time-Space Fortress" with her trophy.

"Otsutsuki Hamura, captured successfully."

Moon Star ruins, Otsutsuki Hagoromo arrived before the alien spatial rift sealing Otsutsuki Kaguya, just as he was about to reach out and touch the seal he had imposed, he was blocked by a flying sword and could not advance an inch.

The youth Buddha-Son arrived instantly at the side of the Sage of Six Paths, smiling as he plucked a flower: "Fellow Daoist, please stay your steps."

The Sage of Six Paths was unhurried, holding the Sword of Kusanagi evolved from his Yin-Yang Release tin staff, slashing toward the Fifth Rank Buddhist ghost.

"Guanyin, raise the sword!"

The "Buddha Sword · Guanyin" left the place of the seal, shaking the sharpness of the Sword of Kusanagi head-on!

Both sides exchanged blows, clashing rapidly.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo became more alarmed as he fought; he had already activated the "Sage of Nature" state and even burned the Netherworld origin to bless himself, yet he was still no match for the youth Buddha-Son.

He could only struggle to support himself, seeing no chance of victory.

"Are you the enemy from beyond the heavens of the Land of Ghosts?!"

That's not right; clearly, a few months ago, the enemy from beyond the heavens who fought in the Land of Birds was a Nether Ghost Great Demon with surging demonic energy!

"Fellow Daoist jokes."

The Buddha-Son remained compassionate, suppressing the Sage of Six Paths until he could barely parry.

"Fellow Daoist, burning the origin of the alien space is not good. The more you burn, the less law the Netherworld contains."

"The Netherworld is something the two Great Venerables have specifically named; furthermore, there are many living people and the dead inside."

"To avoid further disputes between the Great Venerables over the division of interests, leading to the suffering of this world, this monk—asks Fellow Daoist to go to your death!"

The youth Buddha-Son became serious; Xianmo Weiyang's imprisonment was a disaster, but also an opportunity.

Having experienced thousands of tribulations and difficulties, with the true spirit not falling and the original heart unchanged, this is the Universal Salvation Guanyin!

Unable to persuade Meng Yi and Xianmo Weiyang to cease their conflict, he could, however, delay the arrival of the life-and-death struggle between the two "fish-bombing" experts.

"Buddhist Law · Soro Dharma Seal!"

The Buddha-Son struck the Sage of Six Paths out of the "Sage of Nature" state with a single seal.

"Buddhist Law · Wisdom Slashes the Complex!"

The "Buddha Sword · Guanyin" rose again, severing the connection between the Sage of Six Paths and the Netherworld.

"All sins return to my body, please Fellow Daoist... go well on your journey."

"Buddhist Law · Great Thousand Radiance!"

With one sword strike, Guanyin returned to its sheath, the Buddha-Son closed his eyes and chanted the Buddha's name.

Buddha light and holy energy shone, and both the front and back of the Ninja World Star were as bright as day.

"Guanyin!!"

Xianmo Weiyang was caught off guard for a moment; his subordinate, who had a rebellious bone behind his head, had actually extinguished the soul of the Sage of Six Paths!

"Eh, friend, calm down."

"Otsutsuki Hamura belongs to me, Otsutsuki Hagoromo belongs to you, and the Netherworld is split fifty-fifty; it's very appropriate."

Meng Yi opened a spatial passage, raising his hand to block the furious Xianmo Weiyang.

He then threw an olive branch to the Buddha-Son · Guanyin, poaching Xianmo Weiyang's wall right in front of him, and joked: "Friend, are you interested in hanging out with me?" ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
