Chapter 88 Recovering the Moves

Hinata Dust opened his eyes.

The cold light of the artificial sun shrank slightly in my field of vision.

Breathing remained in rhythm within the closed loop of the Dragon Dance.

The bloating and constricting sensation in his chest had subsided, and for the first time, the rhythms of his physical body, meridians, chakra, and soul were in sync.

The body and soul began to change, and the two gears that should have matched were now truly meshing together.

The change begins in the pupil.

The golden ring at the edge of the pupil suddenly accelerated its rotation deep within the eye, and the light of the golden ring seeped into the pupil.

The golden light traveled upwards along the optic nerve, passing through the meridians behind the eyeballs and drawing a scorching trajectory deep within consciousness, all converging into the Baihui acupoint between the eyebrows.

There was a pressure beneath the skin between my eyebrows, like something pressing down from the inside, like a seed breaking through its shell.

The dragon's horns also began to change.

The golden veins faded gradually from the tips of the horns, and the patterns on the horns disappeared completely from the base, leaving the dragon horns with a clear, deep blue color after the golden veins had faded.

The stratum corneum reveals fine textures with distinct layers, refracting a faint, flowing blue halo under the cool light of artificial sunlight.

My forehead feels hot.

A prism-shaped ray of light rose from beneath the skin.

After the Golden Ring Reincarnation Eye completely merged into the soul, the changes in the soul's structure cast this shadow through the physical body.

The eyes returned to a pure, deep blue.

Clear and uniform, with no impurities at the edges of the pupils.

The traces of the gold ring have completely disappeared.

But the power of the Golden Ring Reincarnation Eye is still there—not only still there, but even stronger than before.

Without any deliberate effort, perception spread automatically. In the distance, the stripping circuit of Kaguya's seal was in operation, the shadows of the craters on the moon's surface were slowly moving, and further away, in the direction of Kirigakure, the chakra of the Shadow Clone Armor was on the top floor of the Mizukage Building.

For the first time, I felt so refreshed and clear throughout my body.

"Cool!!!

""

Hyuga Chen withdrew his gaze from the artificial sun, and the Golden Ring Tenseigan no longer appeared in his pupils.

It maintains a two-way connection with the entire soul through the rhombus-shaped mark between its eyebrows.

It is no longer outwardly visible on the body, but truly integrated into oneself.

The Sage Chakra within his body spontaneously condensed, and three Truth-Seeking Balls silently emerged from behind him.

The fist-sized, pitch-black objects rotated slowly at a fixed distance from each other, so black that it seemed as if light itself had been swallowed up.

Driven by intention.

One of them slid down and hovered directly above the palm of the hand.

Hyuga Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing the differences between his three "Truth-Seeking Balls".

I boldly pierced my finger through, but it wasn't obliterated as I had expected.

In its passive state, the sphere resembles a layer of translucent black smoke, feeling cool and loose to the touch.

With focused intent, the surface of the sphere instantly hardened, and the black mist condensed into an impenetrable, absolute defensive surface.

He took a shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and threw it at the Truth-Seeking Ball. The shuriken turned to dust the moment it touched the black surface.

Take back the Seeking the Dao Jade.

The three black balls rearranged themselves at a fixed interval behind them and slowly rotated.

Hyuga Chen stood up.

The operation was stable, and the stripping efficiency remained unchanged.

Shadow Clone B has been dispelled; a new Shadow Clone needs to be dispatched before leaving to continue maintaining the rune array.

After completing the hand seals, a new shadow clone appeared beside him, taking over the position of the central point of the rune array. He then placed his hands back on the maintenance nodes of the stripping loop.

Hyuga Chen glanced back at the empty sacrificial array.

The cracks in the Reincarnation Stone fragments were denser than before the blood sacrifice, and the pale golden luster had dimmed considerably, but the core structure remained stable.

By the time we come back, Kaguya's chakra will have been stripped away again. It's still a long way from truly starting to devour it, so there's no rush to finish it off.

The Flying Thunder God's cross-shaped starlight shone brightly in the cold light of the artificial sun.

The next moment, they were back in the Japanese-style room in Kirigakure.

The half-full pot of cold water on the low table was still in its old spot, and piled up on the corner of the table were the spirit transformation scrolls that had completed their mission and two empty sealing scrolls.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the Sharingan have not yet been dealt with.

He sat down at the low table and raised his hand to touch the space between his eyebrows.

The golden diamond-shaped mark felt warm to the touch, slightly hot, and pulsed in sync with the flow of chakra in the body's meridians.

The soul replenishment process has exhausted the soul resources of the Hyuga clan, leaving none of the dozens of main family souls and nearly two hundred branch family souls.

The only remaining material for crafting the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is the Sharingan, which is clearly not enough; we need to find other materials.

This amount of Sharingan isn't enough to support the complete Soul Layer structure, so I'll put that thought aside for now, take the Sharingan sealing scroll and put it into my ninja tool bag.

And war, as a meat grinder, is the best source of raw materials.

But not tonight.

The Flying Thunder God's cross-shaped starlight illuminated the Japanese-style room.

With a flick of the finger in the air, spatial coordinates are switched.

As the starlight faded, the moss on the cave walls emitted a faint glow.

The cave was much quieter than when he last visited.

The Three Snake Princesses are not in the front hall.

Princess Tashin, Princess Ichikishima, and Princess Tsuratsu are probably still digesting the aftereffects of the previous dragon's might in their respective caves.

The white serpent immortal coiled around the central stone pillar, its enormous white serpent head facing the cave entrance.

The golden patterns around the vertical pupil were slowly rotating. The drop of Starry Sky Dragon Origin Blood had been circulating in its body for quite some time. A layer of dark blue patterns had appeared on the surface of the snake scales, extending from the snake's head along its spine to the snake's body coiled around the stone pillar.

The modification of the source blood is still in progress, but the progress is slow. The bloodline of the snake is slowly transitioning from a position between snake and dragon.

"Here you are."

The voice of the White Snake Immortal echoed heavily on the cave walls. It slightly raised its chin, and its forked tongue flicked in the air.

The chakra scent on Hyuga Chen was different from last time.

Even more — richer —

Hinata Chen walked a few steps away from the stone pillar and stood still, looking up to meet the gaze of those vertical pupils.

The snake's body, coiled around the stone pillar, writhed slowly, its scales rubbing against the rock with a soft rustling sound. The dark blue patterns on the moss glowed like wandering veins.

It slowly approached, its enormous snake head stopping less than an arm's length away from Hyuga Chen. The golden patterns in its vertical pupils began to rotate again, faster than before.

"The dragon horns have changed too—they're so beautiful!"

The White Snake Immortal's breath, carrying the unique cold, fishy smell of snakes, wafted towards us.

How's your progress?

The White Snake Immortal retracted his snake head and coiled it tightly around the stone pillar again.

The snake's tail slid out from behind the pillar, the scales at the tip of the tail had completely lost their white color, revealing a translucent dark blue hue.

"It's slower than expected. One cycle takes forty-nine days, and the next cycle takes another forty-nine days."

"It's already in the second round."

""

Hyuga Dust's gaze fell on the tip of the snake's tail.

"Can it be sped up?"

""

The White Snake Immortal closed his vertical pupils, his forked tongue lazily retracting into his mouth: "If you hurry, you'll degenerate into a dragon. You don't want a half-finished product anyway."

Hinata Dust did not respond.

A faint rustling sound came from deep within the cave.

Behind the stone wall facing the side of the cave, a slender shadow slid out from the passageway.

Princess Ichikishima wore a thin blouse, her hair plastered to her cheeks.
