Chapter 731

Looking at the state of Ōtsutsuki Sharen, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo wore a faint smile; though he hadn't used his full strength, even this much was enough to defeat Ōtsutsuki Sharen.

For Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, even if Ōtsutsuki Sharen barely reached his level, it would mean nothing—he had trained at this stage for countless years.

Though his physical body eventually died, it had no effect on Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo; instead, his power grew even stronger, which was precisely why he remained in the Pure Land World and refused to leave.

Though Ōtsutsuki Sharen attained this level after awakening the Tenseigan, to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Ōtsutsuki Sharen's power was still too weak—unless he faced more than two such opponents, it meant nothing to him.

"Kid, I won't harm you—just need you to sleep for a while. Don't worry, once my younger brother—your ancestor Su Xing—awakens, I'll let you go."

Watching Ōtsutsuki Sharen still struggling, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo shook his head; to him, Ōtsutsuki Sharen was at least a junior, and unless something extraordinary happened, he would never do anything further.

But just as Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo saw Ōtsutsuki Sharen on the verge of collapse, the energy attacking him began to dwindle, then vanished entirely.

This made Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo frown; at his level, he knew his attack hadn't been blocked by Ōtsutsuki Sharen—it had been interfered with by someone else.

"Who?"

"So this is Kaguya's rebellious son? I didn't expect you'd also possess the abundant Ōtsutsuki bloodline. If you're willing, our Ōtsutsuki clan is still willing to accept you."

From the shadows, the figure of Ōtsutsuki Ichiki slowly emerged; now, Ōtsutsuki Ichiki had fully acquired his own body, and with the Tenseigan, he had surpassed his peak and reached a new height.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Ōtsutsuki Ichiki, and the unique horns on his body that marked him as Ōtsutsuki, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's face showed a flicker of surprise.

He recognized such beings—he, his younger brother Ōtsutsuki Hamura, and their mother Kaguya—were all like this, signifying they possessed an extremely pure Ōtsutsuki bloodline.

This Ōtsutsuki bloodline could not be matched by the clan on the moon; only those truly from the cosmos possessed such blood.

"Ōtsutsuki, how did you suddenly appear in this world? I sealed this place—I thought you couldn't find it."

Looking at Ōtsutsuki Ichiki, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's face tightened with tension; the only Ōtsutsuki he had ever faced and escaped was his mother, Kaguya.

Strictly speaking, neither he nor his brother Hamura were considered true members of the Ōtsutsuki clan—even though their blood was pure, the Ōtsutsuki clan would never acknowledge them.

Before Ōtsutsuki Ichiki appeared, he believed the Ōtsutsuki clan would never find this place, and his mother's fears were merely due to her dread of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

But seeing Ōtsutsuki Ichiki, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo abandoned that thought—he knew Ichiki's power might have reached his mother's level, and this Ōtsutsuki Ichiki could be a very dangerous enemy.

Seeing Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's expression, Ōtsutsuki Ichiki wore a bloodthirsty grin; for him, the only person worth caring about right now was Ōtsutsuki Sharen.

Bringing back a clan member of Ōtsutsuki Sharen's caliber would earn Ōtsutsuki Ichiki great rewards—even enough Divine Tree seeds to grant him the ability to head to another world and plant the Divine Tree.

So the moment he saw Ōtsutsuki Sharen in danger, Ōtsutsuki Ichiki arrived at his side at once and dispelled the crisis.

But as for Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Ōtsutsuki Ichiki's attitude was far less favorable—he considered Hagoromo merely an optional bonus; bringing Hagoromo back would only make him a servant, with no real use—so as long as Ōtsutsuki Sharen was unharmed, it was fine.
