The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 196 The Three Holy Lands

"Thank you, Mito-sama!"

"Don't let your guard down!"

Mito Uzumaki, who just managed to save a combat ninja from certain death and casually killed seven or eight survivors, focused most of his attention on the battle between Uchiha Hikaru and Cocytus.

His phoenix eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, watching Cocytus's every subtle movement.

The Sage Chakra within his body is being drawn from Minako Uzumaki through a seal, ready to replicate the punch that nearly killed Demiurge!

The God of War Susanoo's God Blade was as heavy as a mountain, and it slashed towards Cocytus with earth-shattering force. Even the aftershocks were powerful enough to reshape the terrain.

The talent bestowed upon Cocytus by the insect race made him as fast as lightning. In terms of speed in a straight line, not to mention the blade of the God of War, even Uchiha Hikaru didn't have time to release Amaterasu.

Cocytus's katana flashed through the air, searching for that fleeting opening.

"What an eyesore of a grasshopper!"

With a quick glance, Uchiha Hikaru saw that the remaining six Fiery Snow Women had already frozen four Karasu Tengu Susanoo while she was entangled with Cocytus, and were preparing to destroy the four Karasu Tengu Susanoo in one fell swoop!

"Your opponent is me!"

Cocytus stepped in front of Uchiha Hikaru, exhaling a thick, icy breath as his power surged, and he hissed, "Immovable King Strike - Kurikara Sword!"

A crescent-shaped sword aura, over forty meters long, with the power to cleave mountains and shatter seas, blocked Uchiha Hikaru's rescue attempt.

The God of War Susanoo also slashed down, and the violent aftershocks of the sword energy tore apart the surrounding earth. Uchiha Hikaru, located in the prism-shaped crystal, had his eyes flashing as he saw Uchiha Takehiro appear behind the six Yuki-onna.

"Seriously, they've finally made their move."

Under Uchiha Hikaru's delighted gaze, the sky froze instantly.

"Intermediate Primal Magic: Frozen World!"

In an instant, the world seemed to fall into an endless winter.

An icy blue light burst forth from Uchiha Muan's fingertips and spread rapidly.

The clouds in the sky were instantly frozen into crystal-clear ice sculptures, and the sunlight refracted through the ice to create a colorful spectacle, as beautiful as a dream.

As the cold air invaded, the earth was gradually covered by a thick layer of frost. Grass and trees withered instantly, and flowers faded in the frost, as if time had been frozen.

Moisture in the air condenses into countless tiny ice crystals, which drift in the air, forming a silvery-white ice fog that makes it difficult to breathe.

Many of the undead were frozen solid by the sudden cold. The bone dragon cried out in panic, but was weighed down by its frost-covered wings and finally fell helplessly to the ground.

At the very center of the magic, the six snow maidens, their beautiful faces forever frozen in ice crystals.

The whole world seemed to be trapped in a dream of ice and snow, silent and beautiful, yet filled with endless cold and loneliness.

Only that icy blue light still shone at Uchiha Muan's fingertips, revealing the instigator of all this.

"How is that possible!"

Cocytus looked back, his face filled with shock.

"Die!"

Uchiha Hikaru's pupils contracted slightly as he caught a barely perceptible pause from Cocytus.

The God of War Susanoo's God Blade accelerated instantly, crashing down with overwhelming force. Cocytus was caught off guard and struck by the God of War Blade. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, spraying blood.

"Chance!"

Mito Uzumaki felt a surge of joy, and Susanoo's God Blade was once again raised high, charging straight at Cocytus with boundless killing intent. Cocytus struggled to his feet, and with a flick of his arm, the silver-white axe in his hand was thrown out.

"There's no escaping it!"

Then Cocytus stood on the frozen ground, holding the [God-Slaying Blade Emperor], radiating a death-defying will, and swung his sword at the God of War Blade with unparalleled bravery!

Just as the two were about to collide, Mito Uzumaki walked behind Cocytus and, with almost no force, gently slapped him, causing Cocytus to stagger.

In the next instant, Cocytus's tiger's mouth split open, and the samurai sword in his hand was directly cut away by the God of War Blade, which carried unparalleled power and slashed down on Cocytus's six-sun head.

Amidst the sound of the earth shattering, blood gushed across the land like a fountain.

The guardian of the fifth level of the Great Tomb, the Ice Age Ruler Cocytus, has fallen in battle!

Uchiha Hikaru looked down at Cocytus's corpse, then glanced at Uzumaki Mito, who had turned to clean up the remaining Frost Legion, pursed his lips, dispelled Susanoo, and stood on top of Kurama's head.

The girl's beautiful face now showed signs of weariness, and her Mangekyou Sharingan had turned into three-tomoe Sharingan as she quietly watched Uchiha Takeoshi floating in the air.

The layers of ice from the four Susanoo were melted away, and the four Morning Star Uchiha protected inside the Susanoo broke free with gratitude and excitement. They then continued to activate their Susanoo and join the battle.

Just as the Frost Legion was on the verge of extinction, the barrier of the Great Tomb suddenly opened, and dark figures poured out from it, sweeping in like a flood of ferocious beasts.

Pandora stood at the forefront of the monster army, transformed into a flying squirrel, her eyes flashing with endless anger and killing intent.

Behind him, more than ninety demons roared and howled, as if they wanted to tear this land apart and devour it.

The wings of demons, angels, and dragons spread out in the air, blotting out the sun and shaking the ground. The clouds in the sky were pushed aside by the gathered evil energy, revealing a sky with a blood-red setting sun!

"You actually managed to kill Cocytus! You dared to kill Cocytus!"

Pandora's voice was like thunder, shaking the very soul of everyone present.

He raised the scepter in his hand, and magic gathered in the air into a huge vortex, as if to devour everything.

"Your Majesty the Führer!"

Mito Uzumaki and Hikaru Uchiha exchanged a glance, their eyes both turning serious.

The number of powerful individuals at the level of the Sun, Moon, and Star emerging from the Great Tomb is almost dozens of times that of the ninja world!

If it weren't for the top-tier combat power having a certain advantage, the Ninja Gate facing the Great Tomb would have been a one-sided massacre!

Mito Uzumaki looked at Takeo Uchiha, her voice sharp and clear, "Our ninja army is exhausted. Continuing the fight will only result in massive casualties!"

"To fight or to retreat, we must decide quickly!"

Uchiha Wu'an remained unmoved upon hearing this, his body shimmering with the aura of flight magic as he surveyed his surroundings.

Mizuki Haku and the Frost Dragon King lay paralyzed to one side, their faces deathly pale.

Half of the combat ninjas were already on the verge of collapse, with only the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans still able to maintain a certain level of fighting strength.

The Seven-Tails and the Four-Tails, two of the three tailed beasts, were exhausted. After the Four-Tails used its last few Tailed Beast Balls to bombard the formation of the immortals, it turned into white smoke and disappeared, teleporting back to the ninja world.

The Seven-Tails returned to Minako's body.

Only the Nine-Tails, with its near-infinite chakra, was supplying the chakra of the fighting ninjas on the field. However, the Susanoo of the four Morning Star Uchiha clans had already fallen short of the Karasu Tengu level.

Hyuga Ashizawa's Reincarnation Technique had already dimmed, and he couldn't even use the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Technique, let alone the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Currently, only Uchiha Hikaru and Uzumaki Mito are still maintaining about 70% of their fighting strength.

As for myself, I am at the full strength of the Blazing Sun level!

"The fighting power of the ninja world has never been limited to Konoha alone."

Uchiha Muan looked at Uchiha Hikari, and the girl immediately understood, taking out her ninja tool backpack and taking out a scroll from it.

However, the ninjas in the arena looked up at the sky!

A look of surprise appeared in Pandora's eyes.

………………

The flying squirrel in the Great Tomb stared indifferently at Kosest's mangled body, then glanced at the message that he could not be resurrected, its forced calm green light flashing repeatedly.

"Unable to be resurrected? How could it be impossible to be resurrected!"

"The opponent didn't use the [Saint-Slaying Spear], so why can't Cocytus be resurrected?!"

Deep questions swirled in Momonga's mind. Watching the NPCs belonging to the Great Tomb of Nazarick being killed one after another by ninjas, the intense pain almost robbed him of his instinct to make a sound!

If it weren't for the undead's innate ability to force calmness, Ainz Ooal Gown felt he would never be able to sit peacefully in the throne room. Being as anxious as an ant on a hot pan would be a blessing, otherwise he might have become a headless fly.

"The leader of the ninja world has also appeared. They probably have no more trump cards left. Given the strength of Pandora and her group, it's highly likely..."

The flying squirrel shook its head, thinking firmly, "No, we will definitely annihilate them completely!"

"There's no reason why our forces, which are nearly ten times stronger than theirs, should be able to turn the tide. Even if they are, we can arrange for our guardians to provide support, as long as... as long as... we aren't instantly killed!"

"What I need to do now is prevent the enemy from escaping via spatial teleportation and provide continuous support using high-level magic!"

After careful consideration, Ainz Ooal Gown raised the Guild Staff in his hand. The tenth-tier spatial sealing magic and the meteorite fall were hardly a drain on him.

Ninth-tier summoning magic is something he can use with ease.

"Lord Ainz has taken action again, we can't just stand by and watch."

The death of Cocytus also moved the three people in the third level of the Great Tomb.

Mito Uzumaki's despicable sneak attack was particularly despised by the strongmen of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but only Ainz Ooal Gown, as a player, considered it a matter of course.

Fighting is a matter of using any means necessary. Whether it's the spirit of a martial artist or something despicable and shameless, if it can bring more chances of victory, it doesn't matter if you have to kneel down and kowtow.

Momonga's thoughts remained unknown, but Albedo couldn't stand it.

However, all three of them are melee fighters, and Shalltear can only be considered a half-magic caster; her main fighting method is still melee combat.

"Without Lord Ainz's orders, we cannot leave the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but the guardian of the sixth floor, Aura, is a beast tamer with hundreds of magical beasts under her command. It's time for her to contribute her strength to the Great Tomb!"

With Albedo finalizing the decision, Shalltear and Sebastian had no objections.

As their plan unfolded, apocalyptic scenes appeared on the screen.

The dusky yellow sky suddenly turned dark, as if covered by a thick black curtain.

Uchiha Muan's gaze was fixed on the dark, cloud-covered horizon.

Suddenly, a blazing light ripped across the sky, as if a giant sword had cleaved through the darkness.

Countless massive, flaming rocks rained down from the sky, crashing with devastating force onto the ground where the ninja army stood.

Each meteorite was like an angry beast, roaring and tearing through the air with a deafening roar.

The fire rain magic followed immediately, with countless fiery flowers suddenly blooming in the sky, and scorching fireballs pouring down like raindrops. The flames licked at the air, burning everything flammable, and the air was filled with a scorching smell.

The four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, forming a blazing sun-level elemental spirit, spread its magical arms in the air, unleashing various powerful elemental spells at the ninja army!

"What a grand scene!"

Under everyone's gaze, Uchiha Takeo chuckled softly, "Hikaru, you do your thing!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru nodded and summoned a Box of Bliss from the scroll.

The massive box was carved with four demon masks depicting joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. With a snap of Uchiha Hikaru's hand, the four demon masks opened their mouths wide, as if opening a passage to the abyss of hell.

More than twenty [Sages] of the Radiant Moon level flew out from inside, and finally, from within Raku's demon mask, an even taller [Sage] emerged in the form of Senju Moriki.

His dark eyes glanced at Mito Uzumaki and Takeo Uchiha. Still retaining his thoughts and memories from his previous life, his face instantly became ferocious, and he transformed into the appearance of [Go].

"He's incorrigible!"

Uchiha Hikaru snorted coldly and directly controlled more than twenty [Satori] through the Box of Elysium to resist Pandora's attack.

Flames raged around them, meteors whizzed overhead, and elemental lords roared in the sky, yet Uchiha Wu'an remained calm.

"Ryuchi Cave, Mount Myōboku, and Shikkotsu Forest—the three sacred sites of the ninja world, are also the strength of Konoha!"

The spatial blockade, which allowed entry but not exit, pleased Uchiha Takeo.

Using a pre-prepared summoning scroll, the offspring of the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest was summoned.

Although it is a child form, its body is still eighty meters long, comparable to the enormous size of a nine-tailed fox.

After assessing the situation, the Slug Sage split into hundreds of offspring of varying sizes, which flew to the ninja and the Frost Dragon to heal them.

Next came the three toads from Mount Myōboku, whose size was comparable to the One-Tailed Beast. They brought with them the Mighty Mountain and River, wielding a forty-meter-long sword that matched their size. As they swung it, they created a safe haven for the combat ninja who was being treated.

The two sages, Fukasaku and Shima, also appeared on the field, bringing with them battle toads of varying strengths from Jonin to Morning Star, to block the dwindling number of the undead army. Cocytus's Frost Legion was already scattered and insignificant.

Finally, there was the White Serpent Immortal, whose body was several hundred meters long and who had barely reached the sixth level of combat power. With a flick of his tail, the sky shattered, and the four elemental lords at the level of the blazing sun were instantly killed.

The many spells in the sky were also stripped of their original forms!
