Infinite: The Main God Space Starting from Naruto

Chapter 167 The Corpse King Arrives, Fugaku Breaks Through

Time flies like water, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep in the ocean, amidst the azure waters, a dozen figures sat silently in meditation. Each "Fugaku" was enveloped in a pale blue light, making them exceptionally conspicuous in the deep sea.

The poisonous woman had long since vanished, leaving only a trace of bloody energy still drifting in the water.

Fugaku slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his pupils. Looking around, he saw that the energy fluctuations within his clones had stabilized, and their chakra had completely liquefied, reaching the seventh level described in the manual.

According to the manual, bottlenecks will appear from here, and compared to other cultivation methods, the breakthrough of the Xuanhai Daozang is more difficult.

However, Fugaku was not too worried.

The eighth and ninth levels are known as the Condensation Realm, and the most difficult challenge is to infuse one's spirit into one's internal energy.

Chakra is a fusion of spiritual and physical energy, which gives Fugaku a natural advantage in this realm.

"It's time."

Fugaku took a deep breath and raised his hands to form a hand seal. Instantly, the nearest clone turned into white smoke and dissipated.

In an instant, a surge of scorching liquid chakra, like boiling magma, rushed into his body, and the surrounding seawater even produced tiny bubbles due to the high temperature.

"hiss"

A sharp burning sensation instantly swept through his body, Fugaku's face contorted violently, and veins bulged on his forehead.

This energy was far more violent than imagined; every drop of liquid chakra seemed poised to burst the meridians.

"collapse!"

Fugaku's body suddenly cracked open, revealing countless fine bloodstains. The blood drifted with the seawater, but thanks to the amazing healing ability of the Hashirama cells, the cracked skin began to heal.

In just two days, with over a dozen clones absorbing the energy simultaneously, the accumulated power far exceeded his expectations.

If it were an ordinary person, their body would probably have been burst by this violent energy long ago.

Fugaku took a deep breath and began preparing to dispel the second clone.

Meanwhile, hundreds of nautical miles away in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, a bizarre migration is unfolding.

"Splash!"

Groups of dark shadows swam rapidly in the deep sea, densely packed and seemingly endless, including some giant zombies that had reached the Earth level and were about 100 meters in size.

After all, unlike on land, life in the ocean is far more abundant. After the virus spread in the ocean, the number of zombies roaming the seabed was several times greater than that on land.

Soon, their target appeared before them: a cloud of blood mist drifting in the ocean.

"laugh!"

A sharp cry suddenly echoed across the sea, and a giant whale, hundreds of meters long, charged out first, its rotting fins thrashing wildly, its eyes flashing with an eerie red light.

It opened its massive maw, filled with fangs, and lunged straight at the crimson mist ahead.

However, just as it was about to plunge into the blood mist, a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted.

"Snap!"

The massive body of the whale zombie was instantly torn to pieces, turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated into the seawater.

The horde of zombies that followed suffered the same fate, being torn apart by this force.

However, more zombies continued to pour in, like moths drawn to a flame.

In the blood-red mist, the enormous figure of the Poisonous Woman appeared and disappeared, and the special pheromones she released spread in the seawater, attracting infected creatures within a hundred miles.

These zombies, lured by pheromones, lost their minds and willingly swam towards the abyss of death.

The venomous woman swam on and on, and wherever she went, the infected marine life became her nourishment.

........................

Four days later, there was one day left until the prophecy was fulfilled.

Inside the palace's conference room.

"Tsk tsk, the special effects in this zombie movie that was released before were terrible." A stylish young man sat sprawled on the sofa, his fingers rapidly swiping across his tablet.

The conference room door was gently pushed open, making a soft creaking sound. An elderly man in a gray Taoist robe walked in calmly, followed by a stiff little zombie. The little zombie was quite obedient, following the Taoist priest step by step.

The old man bowed to the crowd and said, "Master Yimei of Longhu Mountain, I'm late."

"Oh dear, I'm late, I'm late!" An elderly man in a sanitation worker's uniform rushed into the meeting room, a broom tucked into his waistband. "I was cleaning outside and I lost track of time."

"Uncle Ni, you're too kind." Uncle Tu smiled. This seemingly ordinary sanitation worker was actually a senior member of the Yanhuang Organization, a true member of their direct lineage.

Finally, a burly man entered, exuding a fierce aura. He was none other than Black Tiger Sao Bo, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the point." Uncle Tu glanced around. "News has come from the South China Sea that the Corpse King's trail has been discovered. Azure Dragon, along with the entire special forces team except for myself, has headed to the South China Sea in hopes of intercepting the Corpse King ahead of time. The safety of the palace now rests on your shoulders."

"Tch." Black Tiger Sao Bo curled his lip in disdain. "If it weren't for Yanhuang promising me an island, my Black Tiger Gang wouldn't bother getting involved in this kind of thing."

He glanced around the conference room. "Wasn't it said that another Heavenly-level hunter would be coming? Where is he?"

"He's in seclusion, cultivating in seclusion, and hasn't come out yet," Uncle Tu replied calmly.

"Heh, in seclusion?" Black Tiger Sao Bo sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Could it be that you heard the Corpse King was coming and ran away at the last minute?"

"Alright." Uncle Tu raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone becoming serious. "The most important thing now is to deploy the defenses. We only have one day left, and the army is ready."

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became serious. Uncle Tu was about to continue speaking when his expression suddenly changed.

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed from afar, shaking the entire palace. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room instantly cracked, resembling a dense spiderweb.

"So fast?" Grandpa Ni suddenly stood up.

Another loud bang rang out, this time even closer. The sky outside the window suddenly darkened, with thick clouds gathering and lightning flashing through the clouds.

"Damn it!" Black Tiger Sao Bo slammed his fist on the table, shattering the solid wood conference table into pieces instantly. "What the hell is this? A last-minute rescheduling?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the group moved swiftly, darting across the corridor like lightning and landing instantly atop the highest tower of the palace. Looking out...

Countless zombies were surging in from all directions, their dense, rotting bodies seemingly endless, blocking the entire street and covering the ground with these terrifying creatures.

The army has launched a fierce counterattack, and artillery fire continues to echo throughout the city.

"Above your head!" Master Yimei suddenly looked up.

The dark clouds in the sky were churning eerily, and a massive black shadow emerged from them. It was a gigantic black Vermilion Bird, its entire body as black as ink, its wingspan blotting out the sun. Rotten feathers were constantly falling from its body, emitting a nauseating stench.

Above the Vermilion Bird's head, a figure stood silently. He wore a long black robe, his pale face hidden in the shadows, but the suffocating sense of oppression clearly reached everyone's heart.

"Hmph!" Black Tiger Sao Bo drew his massive cleaver from his back, its blade instantly radiating a sharp, menacing aura. "So this birdman is the Corpse King?"

He gripped the sword with both hands, his inner energy surging wildly within him, "Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique!"

In an instant, a hundred-foot-long blade of light shot into the sky, its terrifying energy tearing through the air and splitting everything in its path. The power of this single strike was enough to cleave an entire street in two!

"Birdman! Get down here, you bastard!"

The blade energy slashed towards the black Vermilion Bird in an instant, but the Corpse King simply waved his hand, and the blade energy was easily neutralized.

"That's it?" The Corpse King's voice rang out, tinged with mockery. "The four great masters of the capital are nothing special."

"Indeed, he is an unparalleled demon lord." The one-browed Taoist priest narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of solemnity appearing on his aged face. He quickly formed hand seals, his Taoist robe fluttering without wind.

"The return of Yin and Yang to their origin!"

As he moved, a Tai Chi pattern hundreds of meters in diameter appeared in the air, with black and white light intertwining, enveloping the Corpse King and the Black Vermilion Bird.

The Yin and Yang energies within the Tai Chi symbol circulated wildly, and the black Vermilion Bird was forcibly torn in two.

"That's not bad, you still have some strength." The Corpse King chuckled, then suddenly leaped from a height of several hundred meters.

boom!

His feet slammed into the ground, instantly cracking it and spreading spiderweb-like fissures in all directions. The Corpse King slowly straightened up, his eyes flashing with a scarlet light: "Humans, show me your true strength. This little bit of power is utterly boring!"

"Arrogant!" Old Master Ni sneered, stomping his foot and charging towards the Corpse King like a cannonball. A crimson light emanated from his right palm, accompanied by a series of explosive sounds: "Blood Transformation Palm!"

"Heavenly Qi Triple Force!" The Corpse King suddenly unleashed a violent aura, his right fist carrying a whistling airflow as it met Grandpa Ni's attack.

"boom!"

Their fists clashed, and a terrifying shockwave instantly spread outwards from the two of them. The ground collapsed several meters in an instant, sending debris flying everywhere. Suddenly, the Corpse King's right arm burst open with a large spray of blood, its flesh seemingly shredded by an invisible force.

"Hehe, not bad move," the Corpse King's eyes showed a hint of interest, but the next second the flesh on his arm regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was restored to his original state in the blink of an eye.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out in the arena: "Mirror Transformation of Heaven and Earth!"

In an instant, a strange power swept across the surroundings. The scene before the Corpse King suddenly changed, and the entire ground instantly transformed into a giant mirror, with the surrounding buildings and sky seemingly trapped in a mirror world.

"A barrier?" The Corpse King looked around and found himself all alone.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"laugh!"

A blade of light suddenly attacked from the side, and the figure of Black Tiger Sao Bo appeared in the mirror, his giant sword, carrying a sharp aura, slashing towards the Corpse King.

"Dragon-Slaying Blade Technique - Explosive Slash!"

Black Tiger Sao Bo roared, and the light of his blade flickered in the mirror. Just as the Corpse King was about to dodge, he saw a series of blade energies rushing in from different angles, forming an impenetrable net of blades through the refraction of the mirror!

Seeing that he could not dodge, the Corpse King immediately crossed his arms in front of him, and his blood-red inner force flowed rapidly on the surface of his skin, forming a semi-transparent protective shield.

"Heavenly Qi Fourth Level - Defense!"

"Break!" Black Tiger Sao Bo roared, pouring a surge of violent internal energy into his massive mountain-splitting blade.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The dense net of blades contracted instantly, and dozens of blade energies struck the Corpse King almost simultaneously. Even with the Heavenly Qi protecting him, the sharp blade light still left bloody marks on his body. Blood splattered, blooming into eerie blood flowers on the mirror's surface.

"Interesting." The Corpse King looked down at the bleeding wounds on his body, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "It actually managed to break through my Heavenly Qi?"

"Shadowy Thorns!"

At this moment, the figure of the Taoist priest with one eyebrow appeared and disappeared in the mirror, his hands rapidly forming hand seals. The black mist seemed to writhe like living things, transforming into countless fine spikes that pierced through the Corpse King's body, instantly penetrating all the vital acupoints on his body.

Before the Corpse King could react, a sudden gust of wind swept behind him. Grandpa Ni appeared like a ghost: "Blood Transformation Palm!"

A calloused hand struck the Corpse King in the back, the wind howling and a bloody stench filling the air. The Corpse King dodged to the side, the force of the palm grazing his right arm.

"Snap!"

The Corpse King dodged the fatal blow, but his right arm exploded in that instant, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. However, this time the severed arm did not heal immediately.

"What?" The Corpse King frowned deeply. "This old Taoist's subtle internal energy can actually hinder my regenerative abilities?"

The next second, countless attacks came from all directions, each strike landing precisely on the Corpse King's vital points. The mirror world was filled with various colors of light, sword energy crisscrossed, palm force roared, and Taoist magic flowed.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The Corpse King's body was quickly covered with wounds of all sizes. Although some wounds were still slowly healing, the process was much slower than before. Blood dripped from his body onto the mirror's surface.

"Interesting, very interesting!"

The Corpse King suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, "However, this ends here! Heavenly Qi Sixth Level - Destruction!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Corpse King leaped up, his body erupting with overwhelming blood energy. Crimson energy condensed on his right fist, radiating a suffocating pressure like a blood moon.

"boom!"

The crimson fist imprint crashed down, causing the entire mirror world to tremble violently. The ground within a radius of a thousand meters undulated like waves, and countless cracks spread outwards from the Corpse King as its center.

"Click"

A sharp crackling sound of shattering glass echoed through the air, and the entire mirrored world collapsed with a deafening roar. Jing, standing some distance away, let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth. The other three were also forced back by the force of the impact.

"Is that all you've got?" The Corpse King stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the four of them. "You'd better submit to me quickly, or you'll just be throwing your lives away in vain."

"Pah!" Black Tiger Sao Bo spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped his mouth, and said, "Stop pretending!"

Grandpa Ni wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at the other three, and said in a deep voice, "Now that you've witnessed the strength of the other side, stop holding back!"

"That's exactly what I intended." Jing spoke coldly, his hands rapidly forming hand seals. In an instant, the entire space twisted and deformed, and a strange power rapidly spread from him: "Void Heaven and Earth!"

The ground beneath the Corpse King's feet suddenly twisted and deformed, as if space itself had been torn apart. The surrounding scenery rapidly faded away, replaced by a hazy, empty world.

All senses vanished without a trace at that moment. Sight, hearing, and touch were all stripped away, as if the entire world had been reduced to nothingness.

"Haha, what a novel experience!" The Corpse King grinned, his tone devoid of any fear.

"Let's see where you run this time!" The one-browed Taoist priest stepped forward, simultaneously forming hand seals with both hands. Two completely different orbs of light appeared in his palms, one black and one white, mutually reinforcing and restraining each other: "Yin Yang Locks Heaven and Earth!"

The black and white orbs of light instantly transformed into two beams of light, each wrapping around one side of the Corpse King's body. The Taoist priest chanted an incantation: "Primordial unity, harmony of Tao and Dharma! The beginning of Yin and Yang!"

"boom!"

The two forces, black and white, suddenly split apart, tearing the Corpse King's entire body in two! The terrifying tearing force even caused fine cracks to appear in space.

Amidst the splattering of blood and flesh, the Corpse King's lips curled into a smile: "Hehe, what powerful magic."

"Blood Transformation Divine Palm!" Grandpa Ni's figure suddenly appeared above the Corpse King, his palm glowing with a blood-red light as he slammed down. Before the force of his palm even arrived, the air within a hundred meters radius had already distorted and deformed.

Black Tiger Sao Bo roared, his aura suddenly surging: "Dragon Devouring Divine Art - Devouring Heaven and Earth!"

He gripped the sword with both hands, and suddenly countless runes appeared on its blade. These runes circulated wildly, absorbing the energy of the surrounding space and transforming it into a gigantic sword aura.

The three attacks enveloped the Corpse King from different directions, each strike containing earth-shattering power.

However, just as the attack was about to hit, time seemed to stand still.

"Warm-up is over." The Corpse King narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the incoming attacks, a strange smile curving his lips. "Let me show you what true power is."

"Eighth level of Heavenly Qi, unified!" The Corpse King's voice suddenly rose, "Ninth level: God!"

"boom!"

The Corpse King erupted with a terrifying blood aura, transforming himself into an ancient god or demon. The crimson energy swept across the heavens and earth, staining the clouds above the palace crimson.

"Reverse Breaking Fist!" the Corpse King roared.

With a single punch, space itself twisted and deformed under the force of the blow. The terrifying power surged forth like a tsunami, instantly cracking the ground and sending countless fragments of rock flying everywhere.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four figures flew backward like kites with broken strings, carving a trench hundreds of meters long in the ground. The surrounding buildings continued to collapse, and dust billowed everywhere.

Master Yimei struggled to his feet from the ruins, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression grave: "He actually...entered the Divine Realm."

Black Tiger Sao Bo knelt on one knee, his massive cleaver deeply embedded in the ground, barely supporting his weight. His face was pale, and cold sweat poured down his face. "Damn it," he muttered, "I'm thinking of running away now."

The Corpse King stood with his hands behind his back, his blood-red robes fluttering even without wind: "Attack me all at once!"

Just then, a powerful aura suddenly swept across the heavens and earth from afar. The strength of that aura was so great that even the Corpse King's eyes narrowed.

"boom!"

A dazzling beam of light shot into the sky, tearing a huge rift in the blood-red sky. Dark clouds gathered wildly, and lightning flashed back and forth within the clouds.

"What?!" The Corpse King abruptly turned his head towards the direction from which the pillar of light came, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. "There's actually someone breaking through..."
