He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 288 Astral Projection (First Update)

"Don't get agitated. I know your body has deteriorated significantly due to overuse of the Sharingan, and you might not even last a few more years."

So although I will take one of your Sharingan eyes, in exchange, I will restore your body to health, and even grant you super regenerative abilities and additional bloodline limits.

This deal is a win-win for you!

Li Chuan looked at Itachi and gave a final explanation.

In this Naruto world, besides learning more ninjutsu, he also needs to transplant the Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan into himself.

Originally, he wanted to get both Rinnegan, but after thinking about it, he realized that the cost-effectiveness of two Rinnegan was not as high as one Rinnegan and one Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, each Mangekyou Sharingan has its own unique abilities, and it can even be used to pilot a Susanoo Gundam.

As for whose eyes to transplant?

Anyway, it's either Itachi's or Sasuke's, because other people's eyes can only reach the Mangekyou Sharingan at most, while only the two brothers' eyes can eventually be combined to achieve the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

His favorite eye was Itachi's left eye, because that eye could be used to perform the strongest genjutsu, Tsukuyomi.

Itachi's Amaterasu from his right eye is also very powerful, but he has Reiwaku, so the effects overlap.

As for Sasuke, he hasn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan yet. Even if he did, he would only have three tomoe. And even if he did awaken it, the so-called Kagutsuchi is actually just a form of Amaterasu.

He won't take the weasel's kaleidoscope for nothing; he'll inject him with the Extremis virus afterward.

Itachi's body can recover its health thanks to the Extremis virus, and given the Extremis virus's regenerative abilities, Itachi's eyes that were taken from him can also grow back.

It's hard to say whether what grows back will be a Mangekyou Sharingan or just ordinary eyes.

"Sorry, I have no intention of making a deal. Also, you're standing too close to me!"

After hearing Li Chuan's terms of the deal, Itachi refused without hesitation. Then, he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye and used his strongest genjutsu, Tsukuyomi, once again.

Seeing this, Li Chuan did not close his eyes or use Phantom Shift to dodge, but instead naturally faced him.

"Alright, then we'll have to resort to force."

He wanted to personally test just how powerful Itachi's Tsukuyomi was.

After all, the Sharingan he'll be transplanting later will be the one that enables him to use Tsukuyomi. Experiencing it firsthand will allow him to better control its abilities later.

Moreover, the whole process takes only a moment in reality and doesn't waste much time.

"Illusion Technique: Tsukuyomi!"

Itachi's Sharingan in his left eye spun wildly, and Li Chuan immediately sensed a change in his surroundings.

The surroundings were no longer a dense forest, but a gray, empty space.

His body was bound to a large cross, and above his head was a blood-red moon. If you looked closely, you could see Sharingan eyes moving within the moon.

"Is this the Tsukuyomi Space?"

Li Chuan turned his head and looked Sichuan up and down, his face showing no fear whatsoever.

At that moment, Itachi suddenly appeared in front of him, explaining expressionlessly:

"In the world of Tsukuyomi, I control everything—time, space, and mass. I don't want to hurt you, but I can't give you my eyes either, so this is the only way. You should recuperate with Kakashi-senpai."

As he spoke, Itachi produced a long sword and raised it to stab Li Chuan.

The opponent was indeed formidable, striking Kisame so hard that he was severely injured and unconscious. The bizarre space-time ninjutsu combined with the terrifying taijutsu would likely make it difficult for Kisame to win.

Fortunately, the other party was too confident. Despite being so close to him, they were completely unprepared for his Tsukuyomi.

"That's not necessarily true."

Looking at the long knife aimed at his waist, Li Chuan silently recited in his heart:

"The soul leaves the body!"

His body transformed into a beam of white light, detached from the cross, and landed on the ground beside him.

The Taoist method of astral projection allows the primordial spirit to temporarily leave the physical body to fight. The higher the cultivation level, the longer the spirit can be separated from the body, and the stronger it can be.

Li Chuan is currently at the Core Formation stage and can only barely manage to separate his primordial spirit from his body for a few minutes.

However, at this moment, he did not actually let his primordial spirit leave his physical body. He was merely using the method of primordial spirit leaving the body to temporarily break free from Itachi's mental control over him in the Tsukuyomi space.

"How is that possible!"

When Itachi saw Li Chuan freed from the cross, his expression changed.

In the Tsukuyomi world constructed by the Sharingan, he is like a god, and this is the first time someone has been able to forcibly break free from his control.

"It seems we can only break free from control, but not leave this world."

After landing, Li Chuan muttered to himself.

This month, the world of reading has become a world of its own, and can already be regarded as a special spiritual realm.

Even if he used the technique of astral projection, he could not escape from this spiritual realm; he could only prevent Itachi from manipulating him at will.

Perhaps only by passing through the Heavenly Tribulation of the Forty-Nine Heavens and reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm, and having one's primordial spirit cleansed, can one possibly rely on absolute spiritual power to forcefully break through this spiritual realm.

"But it's okay, as long as you endure the 72 hours, it will naturally be relieved."

Tsukuyomi can only last for a maximum of three days. Once the three days are up, it will automatically dissipate, and even Itachi cannot prevent this.

"Even if you break free from control, it won't matter, because you can't use chakra here, while I am omnipotent."

Itachi's body split in two, then into four, and soon the entire Tsukuyomi world was densely filled with countless Itachi wielding long swords.

This is the spiritual world. All ninjutsu and taijutsu that require chakra cannot be used here. Li Chuan has absolutely no advantage here.

"Fortunately, I have more than just chakra."

Looking at the densely packed weasels, Li Chuan had a sudden thought, and a pair of flying sword wings appeared on his back.

The magical treasures of cultivators are all bound to their primordial spirit.

Therefore, after the primordial spirit leaves the body, it can also fight with its magical artifacts.

In the original storyline of "The Legend of Shushan", when Xuan Tianzong and Lian Xing went to the Blood Spring to rescue Li Yingqi, their primordial spirits left their bodies and went into battle with their respective magical treasures.

"Shushan Sword Control Technique, Swift!"

The flying sword wings spread out into tens of thousands of small flying swords, transforming into a storm of blades that protected Li Chuan at the center.

This is Itachi's Tsukuyomi world. No matter how many Itachis he kills, it won't have any effect, so he only needs to protect himself.

Itachi was once again completely bewildered by Li Chuan's actions.

It's one thing to break free of control, but how can it also conjure weapons? Is this still the Tsukuyomi world he rules over?

Having no other choice, he charged at Li Chuan with his long sword.

If it doesn't harm Li Chuan's spirit, then after three days, this Tsukuyomi will have been wasted, and his eye power will have been squandered.

However, no matter how many weasels rushed towards Li Chuan, they would be shredded to pieces by the sword storm formed from his flying sword wings before they even got close.
