Chapter 287: Refusing to be King

The disadvantage of the Uchiha Clan's Bloodline lies in the extraction of physical energy and the refining of Chakra.

The Cursed Energy that Gojo Satoru is adept at using requires no extraction at all; Bai Cangshu's body provides it in a constant, endless stream.

As for Chakra, it is a type of physical energy; even with Bai Cangshu's current physical capabilities, Uchiha Madara can extract it continuously, yet at this moment, he cannot help but watch as the body's state leans toward that top-tier powerhouse of the Jujutsu World.

The corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth lift uncontrollably; this is a victory of energy mechanisms, even for this top-tier powerhouse of the ninja world, even if he can utilize the host's peerless body to rapidly refine the energy he needs, and even if his ocular technique is more offensive...

But, in the current situation, it is very clear...

"I am the one who is invincible."

Gojo Satoru's eyelids droop, the corners of his eyes lift upward, and his mouth similarly traces an arc; he cannot completely suppress Uchiha Madara's Soul, and the two share the 【Heart Throne】 at this time, but due to compatibility issues, he can obtain almost unlimited energy within this body at any time.

Hum~

Amidst a strange sound, whether it was Shuriken, fireballs, or wind blades, a host of Ninja Arts were frozen in front of Bai Cangshu's body.

The half of the face controlled by Uchiha Madara also wears a slightly surprised expression at this moment; clearly, Gojo Satoru's ability has made him feel a bit astonished as well.

This kind of ability, which can be called "Absolute Defense," rarely appears in the ninja world either.

Gojo Satoru opens one hand, but the completely defenseless posture cannot be as unrestrained because the half of the body controlled by Uchiha Madara has chosen to cross its arms; yet, he still looks at the humans in this world who wield strange energy with a wanton expression.

"Truly a nice ability."

This energy system, where humans can manipulate supernatural power without the need for extreme emotions, earns Gojo Satoru's admiration; he watches the massive amount of energy attacks frozen before him, his gaze shifting, and finally, his attention lands on Uchiha Obito.

Among everyone present, besides this one, no one can trigger this body's alertness.

Obito's eyes focus; his Mangekyo ability is relatively acceptable in terms of consumption compared to other members of the Uchiha Clan, thanks to the support of Hashirama Cells.

Kamui is activated in an instant; the space-twisting attack has no trajectory, but Gojo Satoru is instantly alerted.

Bang!

The moment the ground shatters, Bai Cangshu's figure completely vanishes; Uchiha Obito is extremely wary whenever Uchiha Madara's Sharingan turns.

But he does not wait for Uchiha Madara to appear; instead, a figure appears in the middle of all the ninjas with a movement almost identical to Instant Movement.

Whether it is the Byakugan of the Hyuga or the Sharingan of the Uchiha, neither can foresee this movement method that is truly no different from Instant Movement.

Gojo Satoru pinches one hand in front of him; he is already prepared to kill everyone in an instant.

"Domain Expansion, Infinite Void..."

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking rings out; Gojo Satoru's expression turns cold. Bai Cangshu's half-body prevents his hand seal with a completely uncoordinated movement; that overly powerful left hand actually crushes the right hand of the same body directly.

The delicate flow of Cursed Energy is also interrupted, and the Domain is left with no way to be deployed.

Uchiha Madara and Gojo Satoru share the body at this time, and they also share their Spirit.

He reads that this individual named Gojo Satoru actually possesses that kind of ability which, once deployed, would almost instantly kill everyone within range; he does not like his work to be destroyed by such an ability, and he likes it even less that his first performance after rebirth has had its stage stolen by someone else.

Uchiha Madara almost brutally gouges out the eye on the left side of Bai Cangshu's body, then installs the Sharingan he had snatched for himself.

The transplantation of a Sharingan would normally require a fairly delicate surgery, but the overly powerful vitality of this body allows him to ignore this point; he only needs to place this eye into the eye socket, and those greedy flesh and nerves will autonomously bring this Sharingan under the body's control.

And the so-called heavy burden of the Sharingan on non-Uchiha Clan members is almost not worth worrying about, given the overly powerful performance of this body.

Uchiha Madara feels that cold, yin-natured Chakra beginning to flow from the eye into his body; that familiar feeling almost makes him want to laugh out loud again in comfort.

The Two-Tomoe Sharingan rotates and changes instantly, and a third Magatama is birthed in an instant.

Whether it is emotions or the extraction of yin-natured Chakra, this technique is nothing more than a casual act for Uchiha Madara.

This body, with a cell count far exceeding that of ordinary ninjas, begins to operate in a manner akin to burning under his Chakra extraction technique.

A large amount of physical energy is converted into Chakra.

Uchiha Madara moves his body; although it is not yet as convenient as his original body, this body, in a certain sense, possesses a higher upper limit.

Uchiha Obito maintains his Voidification, but he feels the terrifying malice revealed by this Tao Baibai who calls himself "Uchiha Madara" in that very instant; a large number of bumps appear on his skin, a reaction triggered from the bottom of his heart by that momentary killing intent.

Gojo Satoru's soul turns indifferent; Uchiha Madara's arrogance and domineering nature displease him. Someone who has been regarded as changing the balance of the Jujutsu World since birth finds it hard to accept another person revealing such a posture.

He does not stop Uchiha Madara from controlling this body to refine energy; he even coordinates the half of the body he controls with Uchiha Madara's actions.

This is his complacency and pride; he disdains bullying Uchiha Madara, who cannot command too much energy.

He is willing to truly contend for the control of this body with Uchiha Madara once the situation is adjusted to a perfect state.

Whoosh!

In the sky, that Golden Beast which seems completely unaffected by gravity also appears weightless at this moment; the impact of the Bachi Niugui hits nothing, and the Elden Beast dissipates into the air through Voidification.

It turns into golden radiance and appears in another corner of the sky.

The Fourth Raikage, his face stained with golden blood, looks at Tao Baibai below and Uchiha Obito, who is confronting Tao Baibai, with lingering fear.

Whoosh!

The next moment, golden flames rain down again; this kind of attack is meaningless to a Ninja Body Arts master like A, and he vanishes from his spot in an instant.

But this time, after those flames, the golden formation did not appear again.

Instead, the Elden Beast rotates a few times and transforms into the appearance of a human.

It is a figure taller than an ordinary human, with a fit physique and long red hair flowing behind his back.

On his perfect body, there is a bright, almost rotting red flower pattern on his chest.

The Empyrean Ping Zhongshi appears from within the Elden Beast; he looks at Tao Baibai, who has finally appeared on this battlefield, and golden prayers light up continuously.

Golden Tree Oath!

Golden Magic Power Protection!

Golden Lightning Protection!

Ping Zhongshi's figure seems to become illusory, drifting behind Tao Baibai's powerful body; this is the King recognized by him and the Golden Order, the powerhouse capable of conquering this world.

"Tao Baibai, become the Elden Lord..."

His voice is ethereal, and his figure also appears behind Bai Cangshu; the two are about to become one.

But the next moment, a black flash erupted.

The distance between the two appeared as if it would never change.

"Did you misunderstand something..."

"Ping Zhongshi."

"What is called a king does not need someone like you to acknowledge it..."
