Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 91 The Demon-Slaying Blade

In the dark mental space, a huge black book floats up and down. Although it is also black, it always gives people the feeling that it is emitting a dark light and is full of presence.

Beneath the black book, on the altar, over a hundred black gases of varying thicknesses were constantly meandering and flowing; this was Uchiha Hiyu's harvest during this period.

Some of them were ninjas he killed while on missions with Root, and others were ninjas he killed on the battlefield in Kumogakure.

Although the quantity of black energy he gained was far less than what he acquired on the battlefield in the Sand Village, its quality far surpassed it.

The Root's mission targets are almost always at least Jonin strong, and the Cloud Ninja's vanguard also has no ninjas weaker than Chunin. Compared to the ninjas on the Sand Ninja battlefield, their quality is undoubtedly much higher.

Uchiha Touyu had always suspected that the inheritance he received from the Book of Demonic Path was not only related to the quantity of sacrifices, but also to their quality.

He was currently being watched by several powerful figures from Yunyin, and felt quite insecure, so he planned to use these offerings to exchange for some useful inheritances, adding another trump card to his deck.

As Uchiha Touyu's thoughts shifted, the black energy beneath the black book began to fluctuate violently on the altar. Moments later, it merged into the black book, causing it to tremble twice. A completely new piece of information appeared in Uchiha Touyu's mind.

"The Demon-Slaying Blade... this time, what they gave me was actually a method for crafting a magical artifact?"

When Uchiha Tou made his sacrifice this time, he requested that the Lightning Release Chakra Mode be able to break through the defenses, and that it be quickly mastered.

However, he did not expect that the Book of Demonic Path Inheritance would directly give him a method for crafting magical artifacts.

It's like facing a master of Iaijutsu, and your teacher's method isn't some more profound swordsmanship, but rather telling you to buy a Lolock sword and use American Iaijutsu to defeat your opponent.

"I thought I would receive a new inheritance... Well, that makes sense. If I could resolve the inheritance of the Lightning Armor in such a short time, then those sacrifices probably wouldn't be enough."

With this in mind, Uchiha Touyu focused his attention on the crafting method of the Demon-Slaying Blade.

After studying it for a while, Uchiha Touyu discovered that the so-called Shattering Blade was actually a counterfeit version of the infamous Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Blade of the Demonic Path.

Of course, calling it a knock-off might be a bit of an exaggeration to praise the Po Sha Blade. This thing is far inferior to the Tian Luo Hua Xue Divine Blade, lacking both the wonders of the Tian Luo and the power of the Hua Xue Divine Blade.

Its only usable aspect is the aura of malevolence on the blade, which possesses considerable destructive power against energy and soul.

In other words, a successfully crafted Demon-Slaying Blade can ignore protective true energy, and those injured by it will suffer damage to both body and soul, making recovery difficult.

The effect of the Demon-Slaying Blade is not particularly strong. Among various demonic magical artifacts, its effect is at the bottom, and it is not even much stronger than the famous ninja swords in the ninja world.

However, this sword is extremely targeted, almost completely countering chakra-protecting ninjutsu such as Lightning Release Armor, which is exactly what Uchiha Touu initially requested.

Furthermore, as a standard magical artifact, the method for forging this sword is quite simple: it requires a large number of souls.

To forge the Demon-Slaying Blade, one needs 360 souls and a fine sword. Then, the 360 ​​souls are destroyed, and the demonic energy from their destruction is used to condense a demon-slaying aura into the blade, which is what is known as the Demon-Slaying Blade.

If you continue to use the Demon-Slaying Blade to kill people, the demon-slaying energy on the blade will increase, meaning it will be more damaging to the soul and can break through stronger protective auras.

Of course, as an ordinary magical weapon, this sword has its limits, but it's more than enough to deal with two Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

According to the records in the inheritance, even the newly forged Demon-Slaying Blade was enough to easily break through the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Armor.

Once the Demon-Slaying Blade has cut through hundreds of people and reached its full power, the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Armor would probably be as thin as paper in front of it.

"Although it's different from what I imagined, once I master the Demon-Slaying Blade, the Hidden Cloud Village won't pose much of a threat to me!"

"Most importantly, mastering this sword technique seems quite easy!"

Uchiha Touyu possessed the retractable Kusanagi sword, a gift from Orochimaru. Although the Kusanagi sword is called a sword, any high-quality weapon can be combined with the aura of destruction without any reduction in effectiveness. Therefore, the Kusanagi sword could certainly be forged into a sword of destruction.

As for souls, needless to say, with the ability to control spirits, Uchiha Touyu already had four-figure numbers of souls in his hands, so 360 souls were just a drop in the ocean.

With the production method and materials in hand, Uchiha Touya wasted no time and transformed the Kusanagi Sword into the Shattering Blade, or Shattering Sword, in just one night.

The Kusanagi sword, infused with the aura of destruction, appears unchanged at first glance. Only after prolonged observation can one perceive a faint, pale white light emanating from the sword, a sight that sends shivers down one's spine.

Uchiha Touyu narrowed his eyes slightly, condensed a ball of pure chakra in his hand, and then gently placed the Kusanagi sword on the chakra ball. A faint white light flowed around it, and the entire chakra ball melted away as if hot soup had been poured over snow.

Then, Uchiha Hiu unleashed a flawed version of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, forming a thin layer of Lightning Release armor on his arm. The Kusanagi Sword lightly touched the Lightning Release armor, and the entire armor immediately crumbled.

"Earth Release - Earthflow Wall!"

After summoning a wall of earth-style techniques, Uchiha Hiyu, wielding the Kusanagi sword, slashed at it, creating a huge crack in the wall, but it did not collapse.

"Can it only be used to suppress pure energy? It seems that the Kusanagi Sword can't penetrate defensive ninjutsu like Earth Release and Water Release, which have a physical form."

"Next, let's test its destructive power over souls, psychic magic!"

After summoning a giant snake using a summoning jutsu, Uchiha Hiyu stabbed the snake's tail with his sword, creating a huge, bloody gash.

The summoned serpent hissed in pain, coiling up and struggling frantically. In the end, Uchiha Hiyu used Sharingan genjutsu to freeze it in place.

"Is it because it's harmful to the soul that the pain is so much greater?"

Having made a guess, Uchiha Touya immediately used medical ninjutsu to treat Orochi's wounds.

However, the medical ninjutsu, which was usually effective, was much less effective this time. The flesh regenerated slowly and soon began to ulcerate again.

The small wound, which should have healed in less than a minute, took Uchiha Hiyu more than two hours to fully recover. Even so, the giant snake's body was still twitching and it was visibly much weaker.
