Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 532 Prophecy
As the scroll in Nagato's hand burned out, the root earth element walked out of the magic circle that emerged from the ground. The earth element with enhanced defense might be able to help them escape from here.

Cixian looked at the earth elemental with disdain and said, "Another giant spirit beast. These things are of no use to me. The gap between us is the distance between a bug and a god!"

He then proposed a deal to Nagato: "If you offer your body to me, I will spare the lives of the rest. This is the promise of the Otsutsuki clan. You don't need to worry that I will break my promise. And you will have the honor of becoming the vessel of the Otsutsuki clan. You will become a god with me."

At this moment, Jigen sincerely invited Nagato. After all, it would be great if the container could cooperate.

The root earth element was not affected by words. It walked towards Cixian slowly and firmly.

The fist, gleaming with metallic luster, smashed down towards the target.

This massive enemy was a sitting duck for Jigen. He instantly moved to the earth elemental's side and delivered a powerful punch.

Elemental fragments and stones on the earth element were hit and flew everywhere.

This punch directly knocked off one-fifth of the Root Earth Element's health. This was because Jixian's body couldn't withstand the excessive power of Isshiki, so he only used the Qiyi mode.

At this moment, Nagato tore the second scroll apart, and the ferocious Thunder Dragon rushed towards Jigen. V had left many scrolls in Nagato's possession, so Nagato was not completely defenseless at this moment.

Jigen was becoming increasingly satisfied with Nagato's body. So far, he had already demonstrated three jutsu techniques: wind jutsu, lightning jutsu, and earth jutsu. It was likely that he possessed other attributes as well. This specially selected body was likely capable of jutsu techniques of all attributes.

Facing this futile counterattack, Jigen casually raised his hand. He would wait until all of Nagato's chakra was exhausted, and by then, Nagato would surely fall into despair. At that moment, he would be able to easily drive the bond into his body.

However, the result was beyond his expectation. He was unable to absorb this lightning dragon. This lightning dragon was formed by magic power.

Bathed in lightning, Jigen took damage for the first time in this battle, so he began to use the lesser known Viguna to shrink the lightning around him to a level that was not enough to cause him any damage.

Feeling threatened, Jigen voluntarily entered the Qi Er state. His body was covered with more talismans and a horn appeared on his head. At the same time, he apologized and said:
"I never thought you could actually call upon the power of nature. It seems I was being rude. As an apology, I will allow you to experience a more powerful force."

In Jigen's eyes, it was Nagato who mobilized the power of nature to fight against him, and this power was worthy of his attention.

Although his words were humble, his actions were cruel. The chakra stick in his hand emerged.

Facing the earth element's powerful punch, Jigen teleported to the spot where the earth element's head looked like. The chakra rod stabbed down fiercely, causing fatal damage to the earth element's core.

The summoned Root Earth Element dissipated here. This was magic considered a killer by the Spirit King. In the eyes of the Otsutsuki clan, it was not even cannon fodder to prevent damage.

The third scroll was torn open by Nagato, and a pitch-black gravity ball flew towards Jigen.

"It's useless. Everything you do is in vain. Your resistance in the face of absolute power is meaningless. In the end, you will become the vessel for my resurrection."

Isshiki hadn't spoken so much in a long time. Even though it was unwise to open the champagne at halftime, it felt good to taunt his opponent. Especially since he had been hiding for so long. After Kaguya's plan failed, Isshiki was definitely one of the happiest people.

The gravity ball was instantly shrunk to an invisible level, and other than the dust in the surrounding air vibrating due to the appearance of the ball, it had no other effect.

Jigen walked slowly towards Nagato step by step. With this posture, victory was within his grasp.

Nagato's resistance was certainly meaningful. The time he delayed was enough for Jiraiya to enter Sage Mode.

Jiraiya, with eye shadow on his face and part of his body in the shape of a toad, stood in front of Jigen.

From Jigen's words, Jiraiya understood that the body he was using was merely a vessel for his own use. This perfectly matched the Great Toad Sage's prophecy. The existence of another soul within a body would lead to the destruction of the world. Therefore, he wanted to destroy this prophecy right here.

The so-called prophecy must of course contain ambiguous statements, and only such statements can make everyone feel that the prophecy is true.

Jiraiya, who had entered Sage Mode, said to his three disciples resolutely, "Leave here quickly. There is no need to fight this enemy to the death. I will help you stop him. And you will be the hope that brings peace to the world."

Jiraiya was ready to fight to the death, and he believed that his three disciples would become the saviors who brought about world peace. At this moment, Jiraiya took the prophecy with a new seriousness. After his death, only these three disciples and Minato would remain among the disciples he had mentored. Therefore, according to the prophecy, one of the four of them would definitely become the child of prophecy.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya also formed a self-closed loop for the logic of the prophecy. If he could kill the enemy with another soul in this body, his remaining disciples would bring peace to the world.

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Jigen said: "Leave? Except for the suitable containers, everyone must die here today."

Having made up his mind, Jiraiya said nothing more, and the battle to the death began.

"Senfa Goemon"

The powerful ninjutsu performed by the three immortals together used the power of fire escape to the extreme. The endless rain in the Hidden Rain Village dissipated because of the scorching flames.

Standing in the center of the ninjutsu, Jigen seemed unharmed, and the flames within his sight were all shrunk by him. The rest of the senjutsu was partially absorbed by Qi.

Senjutsu is also composed of a mixture of chakra and natural energy, so Jigen can naturally absorb it.

The roof that had been shrunk before quickly recovered and smashed towards Jiraiya at an extremely fast speed.

Jigen followed closely behind these buildings, clearing a safe passage after breaking through the flames. After getting close to Jiraiya, he completely suppressed him with a series of heavy blows.
