Chapter 296: The Birth of Killing Intent (3k First Update)

【Virtue Sequence I · Merciful Release: Possess the virtue of benevolence, grant the fated release.】

【Sequence Effect 1: Reincarnators of this sequence will be favored by Reincarnators with special compatibility.】

【Sequence Effect 2: Merciful Release — Grant the target release with the Most Benevolent and Most Virtuous heart; attacks ignore all defense and Instant Death Resistance. Priority of this ability: High (This ability must be performed with a heart of benevolence).】

Bai Cangshu looked at the panel before him; compared to the 【Great Sin Sequence】, the 【Virtue Sequence】 was more in line with the rules of "Order," possessing specific paths and ability effects from Sequence I.

In contrast, the first sequence of the 【Great Sin Sequence】 was like groping in chaos.

The power of this ability named 【Merciful Release】 was so great that Bai Cangshu once thought there was a problem with the Description.

Ignoring all defense and resistance—given the rigor of the descriptions in this Infinite Dimensional Space, the weight of the word "all" was infinitely elevated in Bai Cangshu's eyes.

In other words, what this sequence bestowed was not some special mechanism, but a truly powerful offensive capability; it was the power that could truly grant an equal death!

No Absolute Defense, no damage immunity, could withstand this kind of attack.

Bai Cangshu looked at Ping Zhongshi, whose body looked like charred ash, lying on the ground not far away; only half of his body remained, and his legs had completely disappeared into a charred state.

The destructive power of that strike just now far exceeded Bai Cangshu's expectations; even the 【Fate Lightning Arrow】 he had experienced while undergoing trials in the Consciousness Space was not that powerful.

Perhaps the will of this planet did not want to see the 【Golden Order】 turn this world into the dead silence of theocracy, or perhaps that strike just now was the so-called 【Merciful Release】.

Bai Cangshu took a step forward; he wanted to hear what this man, swallowed by the Greater Will, had to say in the end.

But just as he took that one step.

Whoosh!

The purple Killing Intent Wave completely turned into flame-like Qi, burning fiercely around Bai Cangshu's body.

The gravel on the ground floated up in an instant, the air began to thin, and a large amount of air was expelled by the Killing Intent Wave; that viscous killing intent kept emerging from Bai Cangshu's body.

【Killing Intent Wave has been upgraded, current: lv4 (13/1800)】

【Energy · Killing Intent Wave intensity significantly increased】

【Virtue · Great Sin Reincarnator ex051, you have met the advancement requirements; please check for advancement missions at the Rank Management Office】

The overly dense killing intent gathered together, squeezing and colliding, and friction began to appear in the air.

That was the despair and pain of a life before death, the final, resolute outburst of a strong person before they died.

Crack!

Red lightning was born from the air.

The purple Killing Intent Wave seemed to be ignited in an instant, spreading to the surroundings from the place where the lightning flashed.

The purple Killing Intent Wave turned into a scarlet color in an instant.

The red Killing Intent Wave was as viscous as water, the soaring flame phenomenon slowly faded and converged, and the scarlet Killing Intent Wave poured back into Bai Cangshu's body.

That feeling was like hot magma and cold blades piercing into his blood vessels and starting to flow together.

Bai Cangshu's face began to twitch; this was not because of pain, but because the surging Killing Intent Wave began to destroy his nerves one by one.

Accompanied by the infusion of intense killing intent, his facial muscles began to bulge one by one; the muscles were strengthened by the Wave, becoming as hard as steel, and his originally well-defined face began to become as cold and hard as if carved by a knife and axe.

Then the muscles on his body were also strengthened one by one, then the blood vessels, then the bones...

Bit by bit, Bai Cangshu felt that explosive power being stuffed into his body.

The highly corrosive Killing Intent Wave entered his body; a large number of capillaries ruptured almost simultaneously, then healed again due to his Regeneration ability, only to be destroyed by the Killing Intent Wave again.

The surface of his body presented a terrifying red color due to the blood outflow caused by the large-scale destruction of these capillaries.

Bai Cangshu felt a stinging pain on his back, where the Killing Intent Wave was gathering; Bai Cangshu unconsciously turned his body, and through the global vision of the Byakugan and Six Eyes, a clear character 【Calamity】 began to appear from his flesh and blood.

That was the posture presented by the Killing Intent Wave reflecting his true heart.

"Calamity..."

Bai Cangshu had thought that, like Akuma, he would have the character 【Heaven】 appear due to his ambition and spirit of pursuing power that surpassed everything and being invincible in the world.

Yet he did not expect that what appeared in the end was a 【Calamity】...

The strokes of this 【Calamity】 character, condensed by the Killing Intent Wave, were sharp, as if containing boundless malice.

【Calamity】 is a Buddhist term representing the ultimate unit of time and karma, and also symbolizing disaster and karma; does this have a special symbolic meaning, or...

Boom!

Surging killing intent entered his brain, and Bai Cangshu's figure expanded; he clutched his head and grabbed a large handful of his scalp, but that pain could no longer stimulate his mind.

The wound healed in the blink of an eye.

Pfft!

The Six Eyes and Byakugan burst simultaneously; the scarlet Killing Intent Wave stimulated the powerful vitality within his body, and two new eyeballs had grown, but no pupils could be seen inside, and the whitened eyes seemed to have completely lost their reason.

The souls of Uchiha Madara and Gojo Satoru were ejected from the Heart Throne at the same time.

"Ha!"

Bai Cangshu seemed unable to bear the overly powerful Killing Intent Wave and suddenly opened his mouth to shout.

The scene he once saw Tao Baibai perform in the Dragon Ball World appeared subconsciously at this moment.

The purple Wave sprayed out from Bai Cangshu's mouth in the form of Qi, bombarding the location of Ping Zhongshi's corpse in an instant.

Boom—!

The top of the mountain exploded in an instant, as if hit by a missile; the top hundred meters of the mountain were completely shrouded in sand, stone, and smoke in an instant.

When everything dissipated, a layer of the mountain here had been shaved off.

Bai Cangshu walked out of the smoke, his figure already approaching two and a half meters, his hair also seeming to have turned red, and that layer of scarlet Killing Intent Wave kept rising from behind his head.

Uchiha Shisui, who had chased from afar, felt a tremor in his heart for no reason when he saw this scene.

In his eyes, the former Tao Baibai was like a wild beast, exuding full-blown aggression at all times, making you feel uncomfortable as soon as you came into contact with him.

But compared to this now-transformed Tao Baibai, the other's former appearance might have been considered gentle.

This is a frenzied beast!

Bai Cangshu turned his head, seemingly sensing something, and bent his feet toward the ground; the next moment, accompanied by a bang.

He jumped directly into the air, and with just a single step, he had already leaped hundreds of meters high.

After changing direction twice in mid-air, his trail had already vanished.

Uchiha Shisui looked in the direction Tao Baibai had departed; that was precisely the location of the Golden Tree, but at the same time... Konoha was now also at the foot of the Golden Tree.

He dared not delay and quickly used Body Flicker Technique toward Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui's Body Flicker Technique was extremely crisp and efficient; few among ninjas of the same level could keep up, but this time, he only felt that he was not fast enough, and he wanted to be even faster.

Boom!

A massive explosion occurred in the distance. Shisui thought to himself that it was bad. He arrived a moment later, and as far as his eyes could see, the rebuilt Konoha gate and the Barrier had already been shattered.

Those ninjas who had been influenced by the 【Golden Order】 and subsequently trapped in the village by Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade with a Barrier had left behind a ground full of severed limbs because they had kept charging at the Barrier.

The Golden Tree overhead was still swaying, and golden radiance began to sprinkle into the village once more as the Barrier shattered.

But this Ninja Village, which had once been filled with vitality, was now left with only desolation, along with flames and killing intent rising into the sky.

Bang!

Accompanied by a massive sound of a heavy blow, the giant Toad fell backward toward the sky.

Uchiha Shisui quickly leaped onto the massive roots of the Golden Tree, and sure enough, he saw that beneath the roots of the Golden Tree, the beast-like Tao Baibai was standing among several ninjas.

The giant Summoning Beast summoned by Lord Jiraiya had been knocked flying, and its injuries were not light.

And the person who had originally been besieged by Jiraiya and Tsunade had actually gained a moment to breathe.

If he remembered correctly, that person should be called... Leren.

At this moment, the ninja called Leren was drenched in blood, and the two Chakra Blades in his hands—one long and one short—had already been unsheathed. He was panting, his eyes filled with both confusion and surprise.

"Tao Baibai, did you ultimately stand on the side of Miss Tianyi?"

Leren could not tell if he felt more disappointment or surprise in his heart. If this madman Tao Baibai really stood on Miss Tianyi's side, then perhaps he could wait for the arrival of the Golden Tree Era.

By then, once he had completed the things Miss Tianyi wanted to complete, after returning to the space, the other party would surely treat him specially. I only need to...

Whoosh!

A fierce wind arrived. Leren's expression changed, and he danced his twin blades wildly. The Chakra Blades were exceptionally sharp; as he danced out a 【Blade Storm】 to force back the people around him, he was already prepared to activate 【Wind Walk】.

His half-baked Sage Art was completely unable to rival Jiraiya, so he ultimately still relied on the abilities of a Reincarnator to fight.

A figure emitting a scarlet aura was elongated to several meters, blurring as it focused in Leren's pupils.

It was precisely Tao Baibai, who had just suddenly attacked and knocked Jiraiya flying.

"Tao Baibai, you..."

Pfft!

A fist wrapped in intense killing intent struck straight through his Blade Storm and punched through his chest.

"Ugh... pfft!"

Fresh blood choked his trachea and nose; vitality and warmth drained from his body together.

Leren looked down, seeing that both of his Chakra Blades, crafted from special materials, had already shattered, and the other party's left hand had punched into his chest, completely unscathed.

Tears suddenly slid from Leren's eyes uncontrollably.

I am going to die...

Soon, everything about him would disappear, whether it was the fear, the unwillingness, or those hopes and loves from the past; everything would vanish.

At this moment, he finally stopped agonizing over Tao Baibai and Tianyi.

At this moment, his eyes finally held only himself.

Pfft~

Tsunade's complexion began to turn pale, while Jiraiya stood in front of Tsunade. He did not understand what was going on with these two people. Just a moment ago, he had thought Tao Baibai was in league with Leren, who was obstructing them from attacking the Golden Tree, but in the blink of an eye, the other party had been cruelly killed.

Tao Baibai gave a casual flick, and Leren's body was tossed away like a broken ragdoll, smashing into the roots of the Golden Tree, and blood instantly seeped toward the ground below.

Bai Cangshu turned around indifferently and beckoned with his right hand toward Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"Come, continue..."
