Chapter 564: Uchiha Ace Arrives

After the duel between Feipeng and Yuwen Tuo ended.

No Chat Group members were matched for the time being, so everyone tacitly left the Virtual Space.

Another world, One Piece World, Impel Down.

In the gloomy dungeon, Ace looked at everything before him, then thought back to the Arena in the Virtual Space with the starry sky as its backdrop; for a moment, he actually found it hard to distinguish between reality and illusion.

And this was also the first time he realized just how vast the world beyond the sea truly was.

Ace's consciousness immersed itself in his own interface within the Chat Group; the points on the screen were zero, but he had gained two rewards: Uchiha Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword and the Otsutsuki Indra Bloodline.

Ace began to examine the information on the Otsutsuki Indra Bloodline.

Indra, son of the Six Paths Sage, belongs to the extraterrestrial civilization Otsutsuki bloodline, also known as the God Bloodline.

Fusing with the Otsutsuki bloodline can grant longevity, ocular techniques, and the power to turn decay into magic.

These powers were all latent within Uchiha Sasuke, only the current Uchiha Sasuke had not yet developed them.

In its essence, the Otsutsuki Indra bloodline cannot be changed.

Because Ace defeated Uchiha Sasuke, he obtained this bloodline.

"According to the information provided by the Chat Group, I can fuse with this bloodline and possess the power of the Otsutsuki."

Ace fell silent, then a look of determination appeared on his face.

Since he was already a prisoner, he might as well treat a dead horse as a living one; if he gained new power, perhaps he could resolve his current predicament.

Having traded blows with Uchiha Sasuke, he understood just how dangerous this opponent's power was.

That pair of scarlet eyes—just one look, and one would be plunged into an endless illusion.

"Fuse."

He recited silently in his heart, and a white light merged into Ace's body.

This was a fusion under the operation of the Chat Group; Ace could see no changes on the surface, so it would not cause a commotion.

But inside, earth-shaking changes were taking place!

First was his physique; under the remodeling of the Otsutsuki bloodline, Ace felt his physical strength immediately rise several levels, and every cell in his body was cheering and leaping for joy.

Although Indra's bloodline did not have the inheritance of the Sage Body, the physique of the Otsutsuki bloodline was inherently superior to that of ordinary people; the difference in physical fitness was simply heaven and earth.

Immediately, a mysterious power gathered around his eyes and forehead, and this power continuously stimulated Ace's central nervous system.

Ace felt an unbearable itch in his eyes and wanted to gouge his eyeballs out, but he forcefully suppressed this impulse.

Gradually, a scarlet tomoe appeared on the surface of Ace's pupils, followed by two tomoe, then three tomoe.

In the blink of an eye, Ace directly awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan; among the Uchiha, this would be a genius among geniuses—though it was also possible it was the Chat Group's method, directly inheriting Uchiha Sasuke's experience points.

But the mutation had not yet ended; gathered at the central nervous system between his brows was not only the power of the Sharingan but also the newly awakened Conqueror's Haki.

The essence of Conqueror's Haki is actually a type of spiritual power that can influence reality.

The essence of the Sharingan is also a mutation of spiritual power acting upon the surface of the pupils.

These two spiritual powers met, and instead of repelling each other, they intersected and fused, forming a brand-new power.

The three tomoe rotated rapidly, fast as lightning; the extreme speed made the tomoe appear to connect head to tail, forming a seamless whole.

After a few breaths, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan vanished, replaced by a new pair of Mangekyo Sharingan.

The pattern of this Mangekyo Sharingan was very similar to Uchiha Sasuke's, yet there were subtle differences.

Deep within the Mangekyo, it seemed one could see endless flames burning and dark golden lightning flashing.

That was the power of Conqueror's Haki, hidden beneath these eyes.

"If Uchiha Sasuke had used this power to fight me back then, I fear that even if I had used all my strength, I would not have been his match," Ace said.

Only by personally possessing the Mangekyo does one know how vast the gap is between it and the three-tomoes; moreover, the Mangekyo Sharingan also hides two powerful skills—once unleashed, it is enough to move mountains and overturn seas, to shatter the heavens and split the earth.

In the inherited memories, that tall figure of Susanoo, shattering mountains and breaking seas with a single blade—this was in no way inferior to Old Man Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi.

"Now that I have the power of this Sharingan, wanting to leave the underwater prison is no difficult task," Ace said confidently.

Although his Devil Fruit ability was sealed by Sea Prism Stone, the power of the Sharingan was like divine assistance.

Unlike a ninja, he did not need Chakra to drive the Sharingan; as long as he had sufficient spiritual power, it would suffice.

"Escaping the prison is not urgent; I should first familiarize myself with this power."

The current Ace had matured quite a bit and had learned to use his brain; he was not as reckless as before.

……

Another world, Nightfall, South Jin Sword Pavilion.

Liu Bai returned to reality and looked on, saying:

"The Great Thousand World is truly full of wonders."

"If not for the Haotian Cage, I imagine many cultivators in this world would have left this realm to pursue a new heaven and earth."

Haotian Shijie, strength cannot exceed the Five Realms?

Anything above the Five Realms is basically a key target for Haotian; the outcome is to become Haotian's meal, to be devoured and assimilated.

The entire Haotian Shijie is just like this; all living beings are sheep in a pen, harvested by Haotian every once in a while.

Because he had long ago discerned the truth of the world, Liu Bai intentionally suppressed his realm at Knowing Destiny Peak before he had the strength to battle Haotian.

"I just don't know if I can kill Haotian now that I know the Script," Liu Bai thought to himself.

Haotian, who possesses the Time Law, is too terrifying; this is a chasm that mortals cannot cross in their entire lives.

Faced with this enormous gap, all living beings can only turn into dust.

"Ding, Private Task triggered: Defeat Haotian within three years. Task complete: Reward 50,000 points."

At this moment, the voice of the Chat Group echoed in Liu Bai's mind.

Liu Bai was already familiar with the situation of the Chat Group and was not surprised by the task.

It was just that whether he could defeat Haotian in these three years was truly an unknown.

"The Chat Group possesses a cultivation function; it is said to allow one to achieve sudden enlightenment, where one year of cultivation is worth ten or even several decades of ordinary practice. Once I have enough points, I must give it a try."

Liu Bai muttered to himself, then continued to contemplate his sword and nurture his sword intent.

In another world, the Killer Seven World, on Chicken Island,

Wu Liuqi, in order to test his new talent, carefully used a pair of scissors to slice his own skin.

A tiny cut appeared, and a thin trickle of blood spilled out.

But very quickly, his body was enveloped in a burst of green light; the effect of the Tenacity talent activated, and the wound on his body vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Wow, what a truly perverted Absorption ability. I originally thought self-harm wouldn't trigger it, but I didn't expect it to work too."

Wu Liuqi said excitedly; such recovery power was far more useful than the Ten-Complete Tonic Soup.

"Eh, Ah Qi, why have you turned green?"

At this moment, a fat chicken with blue feathers and black sunglasses appeared.
