I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 293 Thunderous Eight Trigrams vs. Meteor Shower!

The momentum of these two moves was truly astonishing.

Among them, "Kundali Longshengjun" is an enhanced version of the Mingdi.

"Great Power Thunder Bagua" is an enhanced version of Thunder Bagua.

Even from tens of meters away, Uchiha Hikaru could faintly sense the astonishing energy contained within the staff, even with the Conqueror's Haki highly condensed. It was mixed with a large amount of light and heat, like a sun about to rise into the sky, making even the battle-hardened Hikaru feel a little frightened.

"...Is this the power of the 'strongest creature'?"

"Not bad, it's even better than I expected."

"Since that's the case... then I'll give you the respect you deserve."

Thoughts drifted by.

Uchiha Hikaru gripped the sword with both hands, raised it, and took a deep breath.

As the Dragon Bone Blade was raised high, an invisible ripple burst forth from her body, sweeping across most of the surrounding Oni Island.

As the ripples spread, everything around slowed down. Whether it was Kaido's movements, Esdeath, King, Yamato in the distance, or even birds flying high in the sky and leaves falling in the distance, everything seemed to be slowed down to 0.5x speed, and then to almost frozen speed at 0.1x speed. Every scale and feather in sight, near and far, was revealed in exquisite detail.

—Word of Power: Time Zero!

At this moment.

It's like the scene that once happened in the Sheqi family's manor is being replayed here.

Ever since obtaining the time fragment from Lu Mingze, Uchiha Hikaru has been consciously exploring and developing its power.

Because she has only been practicing for a short time, she is not yet very proficient in "Time Zero" and cannot freeze time like Angers and Lu Mingze. However, she can still extend time to a certain extent by opening up a domain that covers the entire island.

Although the extension time is limited, it can only be maintained at about 30 times, which corresponds to about three to five seconds at this moment.

but……

It is enough.

Within the few seconds expanded by "Time Zero", Uchiha Hikaru's aura began to rise steadily, and all his power was mobilized. Accompanied by the cracking sound of his arm joints, a point of silver light shone on the tip of the blade, as bright and dazzling as the rising sun.

then……

Like a tide, it flowed across the entire blade!

At this moment, a dazzling light appeared on the longsword forged from the bones of the Dragon Bone Spirit.

Even before the sword was swung, the surrounding air began to riot, with countless fragmented air currents swirling around the sword and Uchiha Hikaru, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures that shut out everything around them.

call--

Above the four-meter-long dragon bone knife.

A phantom blade, formed purely from silver light, materialized in the blink of an eye, as if blown out of the air, reaching a terrifying height of nearly ten meters!

It could have been even higher.

but……

There's not enough time.

Under Uchiha Hikari's watchful gaze, Kaido's spiked club was already inches away, as if it would smash into her at any moment.

and so.

At the very last moment before the extended effect of "Time Zero" reached its limit, Uchiha Hikaru exhaled and swung his arm violently, unleashing the long-prepared sword strike forward with all his might!

"This move..."

"That's the real 'starfall'!!!"

The glint of the blade was blinding.

Like a fallen star!

As Uchiha Hikari unleashed her slash, the time-freezing effect finally ended. In the view, Kaido's speed suddenly increased, his spiked club creating a deafening sonic boom and afterimages. The next second, her sword energy collided with Kaido's burst of energy from a distance!

From Uchiha Hikaru's perspective.

All I could see was purple lightning merging with silvery moonlight, transforming into a purplish-brown mass.

Immediately afterwards, these two energies formed a blinding circular screen, expanding in all directions like the rising sun, instantly covering an area of ​​several kilometers in radius! The milky-white shockwave poured down like a flood, crushing houses into dust wherever it passed, and the sound of the earth tearing apart was deafening!

Along with this "scorching sun" came a temperature powerful enough to melt steel instantly, permeating every corner of the air. Even Uchiha Hikaru, wrapped in the "Fire and Thunder God Robe," felt unbearably hot, as if all the moisture in his body had been evaporated!

In this situation, vision has lost its function.

Even with the Sharingan, it's impossible to look directly at the sun at such close range.

Even after closing her eyes, Uchiha Hikari could still feel a stinging pain in her eyelids, and bursts of explosive roars coming from all directions, making her ears ache.

Rumbling--

Like the deafening roar of a thousand cannons, the sound arrived late, keeping pace with the changing light and shadow.

Streams of fiery sound cones shot out in all directions, only to be swallowed up by the blazing sun.

Finally, a massive mushroom cloud shot into the sky! Huge waves surged up the sea surrounding the island as a result!

The earth shook violently!

……

I don't know how much time has passed.

It might be a second.

It could take more than half an hour.

As the smoke and dust that had enveloped the world dissipated, Ghost Island had completely changed its appearance.

Do not……

To be precise, whether this place can still be called a ghost island is a question open to debate.

Because the giant skull that almost covered the entire island has disappeared.

Yes, literally disappeared.

The explosion that occurred over the island completely pulverized it, leaving hardly any larger boulders. Fortunately, the armory inside the skull castle was located deep underground and was buried under a large amount of rubble before it was detonated, thus preventing a larger explosion.

The surrounding islands were also carved with crisscrossing trenches, the largest and longest of which stretched from near the castle all the way to the end of the island, almost cutting the ghost island in two.

As for Kaido, Yamato, and the others...

They have completely disappeared without a trace.

The only relatively intact "building" on site is an igloo made of ice, tens of meters high, with an interior that is almost entirely solid.

Even this igloo was riddled with holes in the explosion, looking like a doll trampled by an elephant.

Through the ice layer tens of meters thick, Esdeath's figure could be vaguely seen in the middle, as well as Jin, whose wings had been torn off and who was lying at her feet on the verge of death.

"...Is it over?"

The light and shadow in the sky flickered.

Then, Uchiha Hikaru's figure reappeared in mid-air, his arms crossed over his chest, standing suspended in mid-air.
