Chapter 507: Earth Exploding Heaven Star

Huff! Huff!

Controlling the Heavenly Path, Changmen's true body breathed very rapidly.

"Is the body spasming because the emotions are too agitated?"

When a person's emotions are agitated, the body produces a series of physiological responses, including rapid breathing and a faster heartbeat.

If the emotional agitation lasts long or is severe, it may cause respiratory muscle spasms, leading to breathing difficulties, chest tightness, etc.

And Changmen is clearly in this state.

"This probably also has a factor from the Rinnegan."

Changmen obviously wants to unleash it; Dong Shilang didn't hesitate—whoever caused the trouble should deal with it.

After glancing at Orochimaru already hundreds of meters away, Dong Shilang said, "That guy can only rely on himself."

"Changmen… don't be impulsive!"

Not only Dong Shilang, but the already heavily injured Xiao Nan also noticed Changmen's abnormality.

She had seen Changmen in this state once before.

It was just like when Yiyan died; Changmen's behavior was similar to now.

Only this time, it was herself.

"I'm okay!"

After that outbreak, Changmen became neither human nor ghost.

If it happens again now, Changmen's body might not be able to withstand it.

"Ugh… ah!"

He ignored Xiao Nan's advice.

Changmen was in a state of extreme regret and fear.

His own life or death was secondary.

The key was Xiao Nan.

Just now, to save him, Xiao Nan was seriously injured; if anything happened to her afterward, he would truly regret it forever.

Whoosh!

He drew a heavy breath, Changmen glanced at Dong Shilang's back and Orochimaru in the distance, and showed a satisfied smile.

His palms, pressed together, opened to reveal a tiny black dot.

"Changmen~"

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Xiao Nan let out a weak sigh and then lost consciousness uncontrollably.

On the other side, Orochimaru watched Changmen's movements; although somewhat wary, he had absolute confidence in his Eight Branches Technique.

His Eight Branches Technique differs greatly from other ninjutsu in that its regenerative ability is terrifying.

Knocked back by the Heavenly Path's Heavenly Subjugation, he was a bit disheveled, but after just a few breaths he was as good as new.

"That black dot~"

Looking at the black dot in Changmen's hand, Orochimaru furrowed his brow.

However, seeing Pain's Six Paths wavering beside Changmen, he gritted his teeth and rushed toward Changmen.

"My speed seems to have increased!"

Because of the distance, Orochimaru still had a considerable way to go to get close to Changmen.

But as he walked, he felt his speed increasing.

"No… it's not that my speed increased~"

Looking around, withered leaves and dry branches slowly rose from the ground.

Then the snowflakes in the sky, the stones and earth on the ground, all began to defy logic, floating up from the ground.

Orochimaru heightened his vigilance.

"Brother Xie… what is that?"

Seeing the black dot suddenly appearing in the sky, Didala, who had just arrived, asked the Xie beside him.

"I don't know!"

"It looks like some kind of ninjutsu~"

Vaguely, Xie sensed a feeling of danger… something seemed amiss!

"Let's go~"

Although he didn't know what it was, a ninja's instinct told him to stay as far away from it as possible.

Otherwise, the outcome probably wouldn't be good.

"You, let's go, leave the vicinity!"

Meanwhile, Dong Shilang, using Flying Thunder God, appeared behind Ye Cang, and without a word, lifted the resting Ye Cang onto his shoulder.

Ignoring her protests, he leapt several times, heading deep into the forest.

"Yuzhibo Dongshilang, what are you doing? Put me down quickly!"

Dong Shilang suddenly appeared behind her; before she could react, after a moment of dizziness, he was already on her back.

Smack!

Another crisp sound came.

He felt the sensation growing fuller.

Hmm… did I press a little too hard?

After asking himself, Dong Shilang originally intended to reach out and help Ye Cang rub it, but he felt movement behind him.

He quickened his steps again, leaping toward the distance,

Now is not the time to tease Ye Cang.

"That is…"

Ye Cang, who was being carried on Dong Shilang's back, originally still planned to struggle a bit more.

But what he saw was indeed somewhat overturning his worldview of many years.

"This really… is this a ninjutsu that humans can use?"

It's not that Ye Cang lacks experience, but rather the situation unfolding behind her is truly not something human strength could produce.

At the mountaintop, large rocks, trees, and forests were all rising from the ground and gathering toward a sphere in the sky.

Could this horrifying scene have been created by the leader?

"Ah! That ninjutsu is called the Earth Explosion Star!"

"The legendary Sage of Six Paths used this ninjutsu to seal an evil spirit that brings calamity to the world."

Having left the area affected by the Earth Explosion Star, Dong Shilang turned his head to look at that huge stone sphere hanging high in the sky and gave a brief explanation.

"In legend, the moon in the sky is what the Sage of Six Paths created with this ninjutsu~"

"Sage of Six Paths?"

Itachi likewise turned his head to look at the stone sphere in the sky, his face full of disbelief.

"Aren't those all myths and legends?"

"Who knows~"

There's no need to explain this in detail.

After setting Ye Cang down, Dong Shilang looked at the stone sphere with a diameter of several kilometers, and at a white figure within it, unable to help feeling a bit of schadenfreude.

Orochimaru, this old six, probably can't escape this time.

Boom!

In the distance, a deafening explosion sound came.

On the surface of the stone sphere, huge rocks broke away from its surface and began to fall toward the ground.

However, before these rocks could hit the ground, an invisible force field lifted them up and slowly raised them toward the sky.

"It's Deidara… and Scorpion!"

The smoke and dust raised by the explosion quickly dispersed, revealing two disheveled figures on the surface of the stone sphere, using this explosion to swiftly flee from it.

Behind them, Orochimaru, equally disheveled, somehow managed to temporarily break free from the stone sphere's restraint.

He began to think of ways to escape.

"These three guys, at this point, actually started fighting each other."

"This is hilarious!"

Although they were all fleeing for their lives, Deidara and Scorpion were clearly much calmer than Orochimaru.

The two of them clearly realized that this ninjutsu must have been created by the leader.

Their lives should still be guaranteed.

It was just the right moment to see Orochimaru, this traitor of the organization, and give him a beating while he's down.

"This time, it's really… dangerous!"

Once again adhered to the surface of the stone sphere, Orochimaru obviously did not want to just give up struggling.

With a snap of his snake mouth, a brand-new Orochimaru appeared again.

Breaking free from the pressure of the surrounding rocks, he once again arrived at the surface of the stone sphere.

Boom!

Before he could make another move, a muffled explosion sounded beside him.

"Let you admire my art!"

Using explosive clay, he interfered with Orochimaru's escape, and Deidara was very pleased.

At the same time, his gaze toward the surroundings was abnormally fervent.

"Is this the leader's art?"

"It really is… awe-inspiring!"

This ninjutsu truly leaves him at a loss for how to describe it; he himself must develop an art that can surpass it.

"Damn it!"

He gave a gloomy glance at the little imp beside him, and Orochimaru's body, like a lump of soft mud, dissipated most of the shockwave.

Then he stuck out his tongue again, piercing a distant rock.

Pulling his tongue back, he used that hard-won recoil to propel his whole body toward the ground.

Before he could rush far, a long whip made of black iron sand lashed toward him.

Although affected by gravity, the iron sand whip was somewhat crooked, but it effectively blocked Orochimaru's path.

"Orochimaru, you'd better stay here!"

Scorpion's expression was cold, devoid of joy or sorrow, as he silently watched Orochimaru.

However, the meaning conveyed in his gaze was very clear: with the two of us here, you'd better not think of leaving.

"Scorpion… and Deidara!"

Once again pulled onto the stone sphere by an inexplicable gravity, Orochimaru's face darkened to the point where water could drip from it.

But he currently has no time to waste entangling with these two brats.

Transforming into a serpentine form through subterranean biogenesis, Orochimaru slithered like a python across the stone sphere's surface, putting distance between himself and Scorpion and Deidara.

His snake mouth opened again, but this time what emerged from it was not a tongue or a human-headed serpent monster, but a white little snake.

Orochimaru's fingers flew as he rapidly formed seals.

Ninja Art: Spirit Summoning Technique

In a short time, Orochimaru had already figured out a way to save himself.

He summoned a python from the dragon's earth cave, had it swallow his little white snake, and then return to the dragon's earth cave.

Hmph, delusional!

How could Scorpion just watch Orochimaru escape?

He had disliked this guy for a long time. This opportunity was once in a lifetime, so he directly manipulated the Third Kazekage and followed after him.

"Sand Iron Timely Rain"

Seeing the little white snake in Orochimaru's mouth, without hesitation, he directly used Magnet Release.

The attack's range was considerable, covering Orochimaru, the python he had summoned, and his little white snake entirely.

They were fighting fiercely here; meanwhile, Nagato looked at the battle in the sky, as well as Orochimaru and the three people already sucked onto his stone ball, and furrowed his brow.

"Fifth Hokage... escaped?"

Although he inadvertently dragged Scorpion and Deidara into it, the absence of Dong Shilang left Nagato feeling uneasy.

"It's the Flying Thunder God."

His Heavenly Explosion Star has a huge range; if the opponent could escape, they must have used the Flying Thunder God, a space-time ninjutsu.

"If one had the power of the Sage of Six Paths, even the Flying Thunder God couldn't escape the range of ninjutsu."

Just now, in a flash of heat, I used this technique; thinking back, I feel a bit impulsive.

However, seeing Xiao Nan already unconscious, Nagato felt no regret.

At least we caught that guy Orochimaru.
