Chapter 573 - 573 Ninja World vs. The Otsutsuki Clan (3)

As Otsutsuki Yagara suppressed his killing intent waiting for the final sixty seconds to pass, the powerful energy fluctuations coming from outside the clan grounds caught his attention.

"Hmm?"

Otsutsuki Yagara sharply looked over and saw a ferocious black dragon continuously gathering energy in its mouth. In the next second, an extremely terrifying energy beam erupted from that massive dragon maw!

"Sage Art: True Dragon's Wrath!"

The incredibly thick energy beam shot straight toward the World Creation Divine Tree. The black dragon's target was clearly the Divine Tree; it wanted to injure the tree again, to keep it rampaging out of control!

As long as the World Creation Divine Tree remained berserk, the situation would be advantageous for the ninja world.

"These ants..."

Facing the swiftly approaching Sage Art energy beam, Otsutsuki Yagara's expression turned exceptionally grim, yet he showed no panic.

The next second, he raised a palm, and an indestructible chakra energy shield instantly formed.

Boom!!!

The terrifying energy beam striking the shield produced a dreadful chain of explosions. However fierce the blasts were, the flames and shockwaves were completely blocked by the dense chakra shield!

While Otsutsuki Yagara was defending, the eye on his forehead suddenly glared at the black dragon.

Crack...

A terrifying sound of space tearing apart abruptly rang out. The black dragon's colossal body outside the clan grounds was instantly ripped in two by spatial force, its scalding dragon blood spraying everywhere in an instant!

"Roar..."

The black dragon's agonized roar echoed far and wide.

With just a glare, Otsutsuki Yagara had immediately made the black dragon, possessing Six Paths high-tier combat power, bleed profusely on the spot!

A dreadful spatial rift tore open its neck; the dragon's head along with half its neck simply dropped to the ground.

Despite suffering the grievous injury of a severed body, as a Jiao Dragon it possessed extraordinary vitality, which prevented it from dying immediately.

The two severed sections thrashed and struggled wildly on the ground, the crimson dragon blood instantly staining the earth beneath.

"It's the Black Dragon!"

Most of the Expeditionary Force's powerful members heard the Black Dragon's scream. Minato initially wanted to rush over to aid it, but Orochimaru informed him that the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, had already gone to rescue the dragon.

"Don't move, I'll get you out of here first!"

Senju Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the Black Dragon's side and directly teleported its massive form to a relatively distant safe area.

"Just help me reattach my body!" the Black Dragon gritted its teeth through the pain and instructed.

As long as its body could be reconnected, it would recover quickly!

"Alright!"

Senju Tobirama nodded solemnly.

The Kage Bunshin Ryun also saw the Black Dragon's predicament, but he could no longer concern himself with it, as he had chosen to act as well!

From the distant reaches of space, massive meteoroids were forcibly drawn in by him and then hurled directly toward that World Creation Divine Tree!

He would not idly wait for the two Divine Realm Otsutsuki to suppress the Divine Tree. If that tree could continue its rampage, it would be most advantageous for him.

Whoosh...

Giant meteoroids carrying immense force and speed smashed toward the World Creation Divine Tree. Seeing this, Otsutsuki Yagara's face instantly turned exceedingly ugly.

"So it's this human... I hadn't even gone to find you yet, and you come knocking on death's door yourself!"

He saw a familiar human, the enemy he dreamed of killing. Now, that person stood in the distant void of space.

After grinding out these words through clenched teeth, Otsutsuki Yagara's eyes glared fiercely at the incoming meteoric stones.

Crack...

Terrifying sounds of rock shattering rang out one after another. All the swiftly approaching meteors were violently torn apart by an invisible force. Otsutsuki Yagara raised his hand again, conjuring a massive chakra shield to block the endless shower of debris.

After completely blocking the meteor fragments, he forcefully thrust his palm upward. Instantly, countless pieces of rubble shot back toward Ryun at an even faster speed.

However, when those shooting stony fragments struck Ryun, they bizarrely passed right through his body. He couldn't even be bothered to dodge such an attack.

Simultaneously, the 'Divine Karma' seal inscribed on the World Creation Divine Tree had fully activated. The rampaging Divine Tree, temporarily subdued by Otsutsuki Kamikyo's genjutsu, finally calmed down.

"Finally stabilized..."

Otsutsuki Kamikyo let out a long sigh of relief. The World Creation Divine Tree was becoming increasingly difficult to control, especially after its mental consciousness was injured. Genjutsu could hardly restrain it anymore!

This was why Otsutsuki Yagara had to personally activate the 'Divine Karma' to truly subdue the World Creation Divine Tree!

"Kamikyo, you handle the enemies within the clan. Leave that guy to me!"

When Ryun's figure appeared, Otsutsuki Yagara's bloodshot, ferocious Byakugan could no longer accommodate anyone else. He wanted to personally slaughter this human, to avenge his descendants, and also to feed Ryun's body to the World Creation Divine Tree!

Although in his Byakugan's vision this human's chakra wasn't particularly powerful, its nature was identical to what he had seen before. So, the next moment, without a second thought, Otsutsuki Yagara tore through space and entered the void!

This human wanting to fight in space suited him perfectly. The Divine Wood Star was also important and must not be destroyed in another Divine Realm-level battle.

But when Otsutsuki Yagara gave chase, the Kage Bunshin Ryun flew straight into deep space, seemingly unwilling to engage Otsutsuki Yagara in battle!

"Trying to run? Do you think you can escape?"

Otsutsuki Yagara glanced at the Divine Wood Star, deeming that Otsutsuki Kamikyo alone should be sufficient to deal with those insignificant pests. So, the next moment, he decisively pursued Ryun.

After Otsutsuki Yagara left the Divine Wood Star, Otsutsuki Kamikyo flew directly toward the western sector of the clan grounds where the enemy's strongest fighters were concentrated.

"The enemy is coming, it's that guy with the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan!" Sasuke, who was in the midst of combat, shouted a warning. He had already seen the enemy flying toward them.

Hearing this warning, Nanaise, Guy, and others promptly and wisely closed their eyes. They knew their own eyes were no match for the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan, so they all prepared to rely on sage sensory perception for the upcoming fight.

However, the moment Sasuke's Six Tomoe Rinnegan met the enemy's Nine Tomoe Rinnegan gaze, his eyes instantly transformed into the bizarre Nine Tomoe Rinnegan!

And it wasn't just him. The reanimated Uchiha Madara, who also possessed the Rinnegan, fell victim as well!

Every Rinnegan bearer believed their eyes were special. They severely underestimated the power of the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan. The instant they locked eyes with Otsutsuki Kamikyo, both were directly controlled by genjutsu!

Sasuke swung his katana at Nanaise beside him, while Uchiha Madara charged toward Hashirama Senju, who was nearest to him!

"What?!!"

Faced with this sudden 'betrayal' by her teammate, Nanaise was caught completely off guard. Fortunately, her danger sense was extremely acute. She instinctively retreated half a step. Sasuke's fiercely horizontal slash only cut open her abdomen, failing to cleave her in half at the waist.

Crimson blood gushed forth instantly. Facing Sasuke's decisive second strike, Nanaise hastily employed the Flying Thunder God Technique to put a safe distance between them.

"Controlled by the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan? Even the Rinnegan isn't immune!"

Nanaise forcefully shoved her spilled intestines back inside her body, an expression of anxiety unavoidably appearing on her face.

She knew the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan was incredibly overpowered. Her father had also warned her that this Nine Tomoe Rinnegan user was exceptionally skilled in genjutsu. But she hadn't expected that with just a single glance, Sasuke, who also possessed the Rinnegan, would instantly become the enemy's puppet!
