Chapter 510: Outer Path Magic Statue

A burst of smoke and dust spread in place.

"Chang Men... lost!"

Obito watched as Chang Men, already blown away after being caught between the wood dragon and Dong Shilang, let out a helpless sigh.

He could do nothing now.

In the space of divine majesty, there was still a big trouble waiting for him to resolve.

"This is going to be a clean sweep!"

Watching Dong Shilang manipulate the wood dragon to instantly surround all of Pain in the middle, Obito couldn't help but feel a headache.

Although Chang Men now had Bai Jue's help, without Pain's Six Paths, facing Dong Shilang he still had no advantage.

"Release Mi Yan and Xiao Nan!"

Not long after, Chang Men, his whole body wrapped in a white unknown substance, watched as Xiao Nan and Mi Yan were tightly entwined by the wood dragon.

With a ferocious expression, Chang Men looked at Dong Shilang within the divine warrior.

Those Six Paths were nothing, but Mi Yan's corpse and Xiao Nan's safety were the bonds he could not let go of.

"Chang Men, let's retreat first!"

As for Chang Men insisting on coming over, Bai Jue said he too felt helpless.

Had it not been for him blocking the attack just now, Chang Men would likely have crashed headfirst into the hill behind him.

With such terrifying force, coupled with his frail body, it was quite possible he would just drop dead then.

"It seems you still haven't faced reality!"

Watching Chang Men flying in the air, Dong Shilang let out a sneer.

This guy wouldn't think that, with Bai Jue's assistance enabling him to walk, he could go toe-to-toe with him, would he?

Although the true owner of the Samsara Eye can possess the power of the Six Paths.

But as the saying goes, many hands make light work.

Dealing with one person and dealing with six people are still different.

Without a word, the divine warrior released the golden chain in his hand and slashed again.

Both hands extended forward, Chang Men blocked this slash from the divine warrior, and his figure also fell from the air.

"It's you who forced me!"

Watching Xiao Nan trapped by the wood dragon, Chang Men's eyes widened; he didn't know if it was from overexertion or from the injury he sustained when he was blown away earlier.

A fine crack appeared, a thread of red liquid seeping along the corner of his eye and slowly flowing into his eye socket.

This made his whole appearance look even more ferocious and mad.

"All of this is your fault~"

With a hoarse, exhausted roar, Chang Men slammed his palm onto the ground.

"Spirit Summoning Technique: Outer Path Magic Statue"

Seeing Xiao Nan still unconscious and occasionally twitching, and Mi Yan's body, Chang Men, disregarding his own depleted vitality, summoned the Outer Path Magic Statue.

"This is..."

Having summoned the Outer Path Magic Statue, he originally thought it would again draw chakra from himself.

But... things seemed to have undergone some change, and this change also brought a hint of clarity to his somewhat hysterical mind.

From the surface of his body, that layer of white unknown substance extended something that resembled both a tentacle and a piece of wood.

One end plunged into the top of the Outer Path Magic Statue's head, and as chakra connected with the statue, a feeling of effortless control welled up.

He could feel a faint, elusive sound being transmitted from the Outer Path Magic Statue.

That sound seemed like a shout, and also like hatred.

Hungry?

Could this statue possibly want to eat?

As for hatred, this thing seems to harbor a deep malice toward everything in the outside world.

But now is not the time to consider these things.

Feeling the chakra being rapidly depleted, Chang Men did not dare delay, controlling the statue as he launched an attack.

This is really a pleasant surprise!

Upon seeing the Outer Path Magic Statue, Dong Shilang's first reaction was disbelief.

Never expecting that Chang Men, this sickly weakling, would dare to summon the Outer Path Magic Statue at this point, and not fear being drained by it.

Thereafter came great joy.

If he could possess the Outer Path Magic Statue, the time to awaken the Samsara Eye would surely be greatly shortened.

"Since the Outer Path Magic Statue has appeared, I won't hold back!"

In Dong Shilang's body, bursts of terrifying chakra erupted, and the divine warrior's body gradually grew taller. Becoming a chakra giant clad in crimson robes, about the same height as the Outer Path Magic Statue.

Thereafter, a layer of chakra armor appeared, enveloping the vital parts of the chakra giant tightly.

This is truly... an intoxicating feeling~

Standing on the head of the complete form divine warrior, through the diamond-shaped chakra, gazing at the outside sky, earth, mountains, rivers, and forests, Dong Shilang felt as if everything lay beneath his feet.

…

"Is this the Hokage's power?"

From afar, watching a chakra giant nearly a hundred meters tall, crimson red, and a similarly huge, strangely shaped giant battling.

"We are simply not on the same level~"

Although somewhat unwilling, Da He knew that in such a battle, he wasn't even worth being cannon fodder.

These two giants, with just a casual collision, the resulting wind pressure was something we could not withstand.

「Itachi, you can also… like this? 」

He glanced at his own side, his figure appearing somewhat thin, and he had difficulty swallowing his saliva.

It is said… this Hokage's clansman also opened the legendary eyes.

Could it be… his strength is also this terrifying?

「No~」

Likewise, staring unblinkingly at the distance, Itachi answered without turning his head.

「I cannot possibly achieve this level now! 」

How much eye power does this level of Brave Storm consume?

No need to think too much; it's an amount that can be called terrifying—perhaps I could never reach this level in my lifetime.

Even with the Hokage's eye drops, facing this consumption, it's merely a drop in the bucket.

Not just the two of them, Ye Cang beside them also stared blankly at the giant fighting in the distance.

She knows the leader's strength is great; Dong Shilang is indeed a master, but the power the two are now displaying exceeds her comprehension.

……

「Hahaha! 」

「Finally, I feel a bit excited! 」

After fighting for several rounds controlling Brave Storm and the Heretical Demon Statue, Dong Shilang felt his heart thumping.

And the fighting desire seeping from deep within his blood made him unable to help bursting into loud laughter.

At his current level, there are hardly any people in the Ninja World who can spar with him.

He possesses strength but lacks the feeling of having an opponent, making him over the years have no interest in any battles.

He greatly envies Madara and the First Hokage,

Although they loved and killed each other for a lifetime, they had to admit that a large part of their feelings stemmed from the fact that each was the other's greatest opponent.

They each have a goal of striving through effort.

When, after arduous training, one's strength makes a leap, there is someone who can join you in an exhilarating battle.

How to prevent the two from sympathizing with each other.

The crimson giant slowly stepped back two steps, shaking the ground with rumbling tremors.

His right arm clenched its fist and retracted, his body also slightly arched.

「Give me more thrill! 」

With Dong Shilang's wild laughter, the crimson giant suddenly stepped forward, unleashing a punch that had been charging for a long time, blasting toward the opposing demon statue.

Meanwhile, Nagato clenched his teeth, likewise not yielding, and threw a punch at Dong Shilang.

The two huge fists had not yet truly made contact; merely the wind from their punches swept up the snowflakes flying all around, forming a snow-white whirlwind.

But such a thing, to the two giants, is not even enough to count as an itch.

Boom!

As their respective power and conviction collided, a white shockwave shot out from the point where their fists met.

The snowflakes originally dancing around the two giants, as well as the whirlwind that had just formed, upon contact with this ripple-like wave,

All were shattered into pieces, re-forming into clusters of white mist that enveloped the two giants, preventing those outside from seeing their details clearly.

「Hahaha! Good… just like that! 」

Feeling that pleasure transmitted from deep within his heart, Dong Shilang did not stop.

He retreated a few steps, creating distance.

Behind Brave Storm, another arm extended forward, grasping a sheath-ed chakra long blade, which Brave Storm gripped by the hilt.

「Don't die! 」

Brave Storm was struck by the wings behind it, scattering the obstructive vapor around, revealing to Dong Shilang Nagato half-kneeling on the demon statue's head.

「Is this not enough? 」

Seeing Nagato already panting, barely able to catch his breath, a feeling of utter boredom made Dong Shilang not even want to draw his blade.

「If that's all you've got, you can go die! 」

Regarding Nagato's weakness, Dong Shilang was quite dissatisfied, how would he put it in his previous life…

「I've taken off my pants, and you're just going to show me this? 」

Since Nagato can no longer bring him more battle pleasure, he has no reason to exist.

「Nagato, I can't hold back~」

Although he has his own help, Nagato's physical condition is grim, unable to withstand the pressure of the demon statue.

The Bai Jue possessing his body clearly felt this.

His original intention was about enough; it's time to prepare to retreat, but Nagato, whose heart is tied to Xiao Nan, obviously doesn't intend to just give up like that.

「I know…」

After wiping away the blood trickling from his nose, Nagato once again urged himself, trying to squeeze more chakra out of his body.

「Uh… ah…」

As Nagato exerted himself again, his nosebleed burst out again, and even his teeth, from using too much force, were shattered—several of them.

His figure also visibly became a bit thinner.

Roar!

A chakra dragon emanating a faint purple glow was spat out from the demon statue's mouth.

「Finally, there's something worth watching~」

Looking at this chakra dragon coiling around the demon statue, Dong Shilang's mouth twitched.

Leaving Konan and Yahiko behind, the wood dragon that had smashed the other Pains into pieces, under his control, coiled and wound a few times on the ground, then wrapped around Susanoo's body.

Go die!

Without hesitation, Susanoo drew the long sword in his hand, a heaven-shaking sword qi slashed toward Nagato opposite him.

Since Nagato wanted to save Konan, he had no choice but to control the chakra dragon, gritting his teeth as he charged over.

Boom—!

The earth shook, the mountains trembled, and rocks flew.

As Susanoo and the demon statue collided, the wood dragon and the chakra giant dragon's impact, the mountaintop could not withstand the explosion of their two powers, began to gradually collapse~
