Chapter 296

Besides the killing intent recoil, scratches, and the power of other modified humans, each modified human's strength even surpassed that of the organization's ruler, Cixian.

Their source of power is an ancient Ootsutsuki clan member, Ootsutsuki Shibuki.

For countless years, he has consumed many Chakra Fruits and continually used the wedge to reincarnate and break through death, eventually evolving into a god, and now he has abandoned his flesh and left his dimension.

But this is only part of the ability of Ootsutsuki Shibuki's remains.

He possesses the White Eye, Samsara Eye, Black Eye, and a series of terrifying powers.

Ootsutsuki Shibuki possesses many terrifying powers and does not need to form hand seals at all.

As long as he lightly waves his arm, he can summon a great storm; as long as he lets out a roar, he can trigger fierce lightning.

Those abilities are like divine miracles, called Divine Techniques, differing from ninjutsu and senjutsu in that they seem to be things only a god can do.

One can imagine how powerful this being was when alive; according to Ootsutsuki Tao's words, he surpassed everything as the Ootsutsuki god.

His strength has completely reached single-universe level, and may even have entered multiversal level; from this we can see how precious the Chakra Fruit is.

As long as one continually devours Chakra Fruits, one can reach this realm; one can imagine how buggy this fruit is.

However, regarding the news of transcending this dimension and even the universe, Luode did not tell Aijiang, because for Aijiang it was too shocking.

This matter still needs further verification, but it can be confirmed that by continually devouring Chakra Fruits, one can indeed reach the strongest level of single-universe.

「Tch! These guys, what's the difference between them and those ancient gods? A bunch of damned bastards.

This is equivalent to squeezing the life force of planets, devouring countless planets; no wonder one can become an omniscient, omnipotent god.

「They are simply stealing the primordial force of an entire planet; this race should be wiped out clean just like the ancient gods. 」 It is obvious that Azeroth feels great aversion toward the Ootsutsuki clan.

This so-called evolution is actually devouring all the life force inside a planet, thereby surpassing mortal levels.

「Don't worry! The Chakra Fruit I give you is not cultivated using planetary energy.

but is cultivated using the energy of the Infinity Stones; I have consumed about eighty percent of the Infinity Stones' energy.

I cultivated two in total; I ate one of these Super Chakra Fruits, and this one I prepared especially for you." Luode said with a smile.

Just kidding, he naturally knows Aijiang would dislike such planet-devouring beings.

If he hadn't found a new cultivation method, he wouldn't have shown the Chakra Fruit to Azeroth.

「Not bad, you little brat have a conscience. 」 Azeroth curled the corner of his mouth and said.

The early investment in Luode has now completely yielded huge returns, even far exceeding her expectations.

An existence that can freely travel between worlds is indeed extraordinary! I guessed right.

Before, I was anxious and worried, also having to worry about the ancient gods, fearing they would corrupt me.

Also had to worry about the Titans, who would use their special energy to reshape all of Azeroth, turning me into a Titan.

Besides having to worry about Sargeras's Burning Legion coming to wipe me out, it's really tough, but ever since Luode joined, the Burning Legion's threat disappeared.

If nothing unexpected happens, the threat of the Old Gods will soon be eliminated as well.

Luode nodded, handing the perfect chakra fruit to Azeroth; Azeroth's apparition immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the chakra fruit.

A surge of verdant vitality instantly infused with blue energy began to gather within Azeroth's body, and even the slumbering soul of the star planet deep in the core began to undergo this energy's transformation.

Azeroth clearly felt a new power flowing through its body, even approaching its own essence, for both are transformations of the life‑planet's energy.

Actually, Luode intended to use his own transformation ability to enlarge this fruit a hundredfold. But trying to enlarge a chakra fruit with a Devil Fruit—let alone a hundredfold, even tenfold is impossible.

After all, a chakra fruit is so extraordinary that enlarging it a hundredfold would be equivalent to devouring the energy of hundreds of planets.

This power lasted a day and a night, after which Azeroth finally finished digesting the chakra's power.

Moreover, Luode saw ripples appear in Azeroth's eyes, a sign of the Samsara Eye.

My guess was indeed correct: after eating the chakra fruit, one also gains a Samsara Eye, though since Azeroth hasn't been born yet, these eyes are merely an illusory state. "Really not bad; this chakra fruit lets me master a new energy, even boosting my internal life energy considerably! Moreover, most importantly, it has granted me a pair of very special eyes that can control the power of life and death, as well as other elements, natural forces." Azeroth said this with a look of delight, and this super chakra fruit brought him unimaginable benefits.

"As long as you like it, this eye is called the Samsara Eye; I'll teach you how to use it later. The cultivation method for this chakra fruit is very peculiar; I think perhaps we can use it to obtain the other six Forces, or even directly mobilize stellar energy to nourish it." Luode immediately told Azeroth his idea.

"If it's really as miraculous as you say, we can plant more of these in the future; as for stellar energy, only I can mobilize it after I'm born. You can first use the energy of the Infinity Stones. Or go look for Sargeras—but if you're going to look for Sargeras! Do you have another chakra fruit?" Azeroth asked.

Without a new chakra fruit to have Sargeras help mobilize stellar energy, that would obviously be unrealistic; this guy might not agree.

"I harvested a total of three chakra fruits this time; two of them I cultivated myself, possessing unimaginable power—they are super chakra fruits—and the third is a defective one, though it can still grant someone chakra power. I think Sargeras would be interested."

Luode took out another chakra fruit, smiled, and said, "This chakra fruit isn't as big as the one I just took out, its color isn't as vivid, and it's only the size of an apple."

"It seems you've thought of everything, but what about its seeds? How is this chakra fruit planted? I just examined this fruit and didn't feel any seed-like substance." Azeroth said.

Although I know it needs to devour a planet to grow, if we had a special energy supply, perhaps we could plant it here, just like the World Tree.

I can fully mobilize arcane energy from the void, or other life forces, holy light energy, and the like, to nourish it.

"This is the issue I want to discuss next: the chakra fruit is the fruit borne after the God Tree blooms.

The God Tree is a special lifeform called the Ten‑Tails, formed after it devoured the members of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

In its seed state, it lies between a living creature and a plant.

After Luode finished speaking, he released the little Ten‑Tails he had painstakingly captured.

It is a small monster tens of meters tall, with a huge blood‑red Samsara eye on its head and a giant mouth.

The Ten‑Tails' flesh has no intelligence whatsoever; it only possesses the instinct to devour, opening its mouth wide upon appearance and incessantly biting at anything.

"This thing is the seed of the God Tree—you're not joking, right? This, this looks… good heavens, it's a monster! Even its life form reminds me of the Old Gods, though those Old Gods aren't this strange." Azeroth exclaimed in astonishment.

"That's right, it really is strange, and the God Tree can bear fruit only once, after it has drained a planet's power.

The woody part of the God Tree will wither, leaving the Ten‑Tails of the root and stem to become a war weapon.

It possesses immensely destructive power, capable of wiping out all civilization on a planet's surface.

Most importantly, it can no longer be replanted, and its method of cultivation is simply to cut off chunks of its flesh.

Then, by feeding a large amount of chakra for cultivation, there is an extremely low probability of giving birth to a new Ten-Tails.

I have been conducting this experiment, but the effectiveness is currently low, and I cannot let it devour other intelligent life.

Because once it devours other intelligent life, if its energy level is not high, it will instead cause the Ten-Tails to develop self-awareness, making things more troublesome then.

So now there is only this one seed, which is the little guy in front of you; I want to show you whether you can use your life energy to cultivate more of these little Ten-Tails. Luode said.

Relying on the method of the Otsutsuki Clan, even with Orochimaru, the Second Hokage, and Kabuto Yakushi helping with research, it is still extremely difficult to replicate a new little guard.

This theory is indeed feasible; you cut off a part of his body, and then I will infuse life energy.

You then infuse him with chakra power, and perhaps a new Ten-Tails could be born. Azeroth pondered for a moment, then said.

Then he still needs a sacrifice to become a God Tree; what do you think about feeding an ancient god to it? Or a Titan Guardian? Luode asked.

In the Naruto world, there was Kaguya Otsutsuki, and also another two individuals.

But those who wish to feed themselves to the Ten-Tails only need to reach demigod-level life rank.

Then they can be devoured by the Ten-Tails, serving as the seed source of power. (End of chapter)
