Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

The deer disappeared from the spot.

A massive fist had already appeared in Wu's abdomen.

"It's no use, I'm immune to physical damage, you..."

boom!

That really hurts!

To prevent it from being killed, I had turned off the Deer's Sage Mode, but this guy still jumped up.

As he felt the pain in his abdomen, he looked at the deer in disbelief.

Lu Shi ripped off his tattered shirt, revealing his muscular physique. "You're kidding me! You have to pay me back for my clothes today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shi had already disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already grabbed Wu's head.

The immense power caused Satoru to struggle incessantly. "Damn it! What are you?!"

Black chakra surged continuously, and wounds appeared on Shika's skin, but these wounds healed completely in just a few seconds.

"I remember there's a core inside the evil god's body. I wonder if you have one?!"

As Lu Shi spoke, his left hand pierced Ci Yi's heart.

"It seems not!"

Physically dead, Satoru emerged from Ibaraki's body, his voice filled with terror, "You! What kind of monster are you?!"

"A monster? Obviously, you're more like that monster!"

"Damn it! Not enough! This isn't enough! More, I want more!"

Wu burst through the roof of the temple and soared into the sky.

Outside, there was slaughter, and a large amount of negative emotions kept pouring into Wu's body.

Wu's physical body grew larger and larger.

Everyone in the entire Ghost Lantern Castle saw Satoru.

Wuxin frowned slightly, her tone tinged with worry, "Are you sure the Nara Shikama will be alright?"

Nine-Tailed Buddha glanced at Wu in the sky, his tone somewhat disdainful, "Pretentious. Don't worry, Lu Shi can take care of it in an instant."

"Then why...?"

Nine Lama understood Wuxin's meaning and interrupted, "Lushi came here with a purpose. Let's deal with these fugitives first!"

Wuxin could only nod and say, "I understand."

"die!"

Wu swooped down from the sky with unstoppable force.

Lu Shi quickly formed hand seals, "Summoning Technique!"

The white smoke dissipated, and Bai Si appeared, forcefully blocking Wu's fall.

Bai Si at this time is no longer the little snake we first met. Under Lu Shi's careful nurturing, Bai Si has undergone a qualitative change in both size and strength.

After being repelled, Bai Si lowered his head and approached Shikatoki. "Lord Shikatoki, what is this?"

The deer jumped onto Bai Si's head, "a monster left behind by the Sage of Six Paths."

"The Sage of Six Paths? Really?" Bai Si stared at Wu with curiosity.

Wu was furious at this moment.

It seems like it can't handle anything that comes its way.

I've already absorbed a lot of negative emotions, so why is it still not working?

"Roar~!"

A harsh sound came from Wu's mouth.

The enormous roar caused the people below to cover their ears.

"If it has no core, what drives it? Negative emotions? Or Kurama's chakra?"

Lu Shi was pondering internally.

Enlightenment has struck again.

The enormous body brought immense power, but Shika remained calm and composed, simply extending his right hand to block Satoru's attack.

"Its attacks are singular, basically only physical attacks." Bai Si was somewhat puzzled. "It doesn't seem to be a match for Lord Lu Shi. If it can fly, why doesn't it run away?"

Lu Shi was taken aback, then unleashed a burst of superhuman strength, directly sending Wu's massive body flying.

"That's right! Why doesn't it run away? It only needs to leave Ghost Lantern Castle and absorb negative emotions to continuously grow stronger, why is it fighting me to the death here!"

Lu Shi glanced at the furious Wu in the sky, then looked at the long-forgotten Box of Bliss.

"Unless, it can't leave this place at all."

There's nothing to hesitate about, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

The deer walked toward the box of bliss.

Wu instantly appeared in front of Shikata, blocking his path. "Monster! Where are you going?! Our battle isn't over yet!"

Lu Shi's lips curled up slightly.

"You seem to be a little too sensitive; this makes it easy for your weaknesses to be exposed!"

Lu Shi vanished from his spot, reappearing beside Wu's head the next second, casually waving his left hand, "Get out of my way!"

The immense force instantly blasted Wu away.

"Bai Si, stop it! Don't let it bother me."

"Yes, Lord Shikatoki!"

Bai Si quickly approached Wu and tightly bound him.

"Damn it! Let me go! Get away from me!"

Wu struggled desperately.

Lu Shi had already arrived in front of the Box of Bliss.

At this moment, the Box of Bliss was unremarkable, with no energy fluctuations whatsoever; it seemed that enlightenment was its core.

However, let's think about it from another perspective.

Enlightenment is generated by Kurama's chakra and negative emotions.

How could something that serves as a vessel for absorbing these things become useless after enlightenment appears?

The deer placed its right hand on the box of bliss.

[Special item detected. Can be made into a template. Produce?]

"As expected! Let's make it!"

Wu, who had just been struggling, seemed to be imprisoned by something and froze in place.

The Box of Elysium unleashed a terrifying suction force.

The black chakra on Wu's body was continuously being devoured by the Box of Bliss.

"Aaaaaah!"

Wu let out a miserable cry that echoed throughout the entire Ghost Lantern Castle.

"What have you done?! This isn't a seal! This is devouring!" Wu looked at the deer in horror, trying to run away, but he couldn't stop the suction of the Box of Elysium.

Amidst screams, Wu was completely swallowed by the Box of Bliss.

The Box of Bliss has returned to its complete form.

It was continuously compressed until it became a box the size of a palm.

[Template completed, please check it out!]

[Special Template: Chest of Elysium]

[The Box of Ecstasy: A unique template, a sealed place for emotions. Absorbing large amounts of energy can create monsters. It can serve as a temporary storage point for all creature templates.]

Lu Shi didn't care about any place where emotions were sealed or any monsters were created.

The most important thing is that the Chest of Elysium can serve as a temporary storage point for bio-templates.

This is Lu Shi's true purpose this time.

"As expected, the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't lie to me. This gives me enough time to wait." Shikatoki breathed a sigh of relief.

The Box of Bliss fell silent.

The previously gloomy sky was now being pierced by sunlight.

"Run!"

Just as the deer was about to enjoy the peace and quiet of victory, it was interrupted by the noise outside.

Lu Shi vanished from the spot with a teleportation technique.

"Kurama, it's been so long, and you still haven't solved this!"

Kurama reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, "It's all that Wuxin's fault! He wouldn't let me kill anyone, and he wouldn't let me use the Tailed Beast Ball! What am I supposed to do?!"

The shrunken Bai Si crawled over, "Ninth Master, let me help you."

"I'm the Nine-Tails! I don't need your help!"

Lu Shi turned his gaze to Wu Xin.

"Lord Wuxin, although the sealing barrier of Ghost Lantern City has effectively prevented these fugitives from escaping, we will only suffer losses if we continue to drag this out. I still suggest that we make a swift and decisive move."

Wu Xin's expression was somewhat complicated; he knew that Lu Shi was right.

But Hozuki Castle was his whole life.

"Hozuki Castle was not easy to build; if possible, it's best not to destroy it!"

This was Wuxin's last act of defiance.

Lu Shi sighed, "Never mind, I just had some insights into Sage Mode during the battle."

"Bai Si!"

"You've arrived, Lord Shikatoki!"

Bai Si rapidly grew larger, and Lu Shi sat cross-legged on Bai Si's head, rising into the air.

During his battle with Satoru, Shikatoshi accidentally discovered that in his Sage Mode, he could briefly communicate with natural energies that did not belong to him.

Does this mean that I can take advantage of favorable timing?

With a "let's give it a try" attitude, Lu Shi communicated with all the natural energy in the entire Ghost Lantern Castle.

The Ghost Lantern Castle, which had just cleared up, was once again shrouded in dark clouds.

This time, however, it wasn't caused by chakra; there was a faint pressure in the air.

"Holy crap! I haven't felt this way in ages!"

Lu felt his natural energy being rapidly drained from his body.

The extraction speed far exceeds the recovery speed.

In just a few seconds, one's natural energy will be completely drained.

When Lu wanted to exit this state, he discovered that there was no exit button.

Now the die is cast!

Seeing this, Lu Shi gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last bit of natural energy from his body.

With all his might, he uttered a single word: "Silence!"
