Infinite: The Main God Space Starting from Naruto

Chapter 170 Genetic Defects

A figure slowly walked from the edge of the pit. His dazzling green hair gleamed with an eerie light, and white bandages were tightly wrapped around his upper body, revealing crisscrossing and hideous wounds underneath.

Fugaku's pupils contracted slightly. Qinglong—he'd heard Uncle Tu mention him once. The captain of the Yanhuang Special Abilities Team, his strength was already at the pinnacle of this world.

"You are Uchiha Fugaku?" Qinglong's gaze swept over Fugaku.

Just as Fugaku was about to speak, a sharp pain suddenly came from his back. Fugaku groaned and his knees buckled, almost causing him to kneel down.

At that moment, Fugaku felt a sudden, intense wriggling sensation from the wound on his back, from which countless tiny insects gushed forth, splattering blood onto the ground.

Seeing this, the Corpse King chuckled softly, "So it's finally taking effect?"

"This is..." Fugaku's pupils contracted sharply as he saw the worms in the wound multiplying at an alarming rate, each one releasing a deadly poison in all directions.

"How's the parasite's ability?" the Corpse King's voice suddenly rang out. "This is an inspiration I got from horseflies. They will keep multiplying until they have devoured the host's flesh and blood."

Fugaku could feel a cold toxin spreading rapidly through his blood vessels, causing flesh to rot wherever it passed. His vision began to blur, and his consciousness became hazy.

If this continues, the insects will eat away at my entire left arm in less than two seconds, and then it will spread to my entire chest.

"There's no time to lose, we must stop the spread immediately!" A resolute glint flashed in Fugaku's eyes as he swiftly gathered chakra in his right hand, the blue light spinning rapidly in his palm, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The next instant, Fugaku struck his own left arm without hesitation.

"Sizzle!"

Blood splattered, and his left arm fell to the ground with a thud. Fugaku quickly circulated his chakra and concentrated it on the wound.

Countless white worms gushed out from the severed arm and wriggled on the ground.

"Cough!" Suddenly, Fugaku coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Although his left arm had been severed, the poison had already spread to other parts of his body.

At this moment, Fugaku's vision began to blur, his consciousness gradually faded, and Susanoo began to dissipate, turning into specks of starlight and disappearing into the air.

"Decisive enough, but this level of self-harm is already futile." The Corpse King's voice came from afar, tinged with admiration. "However, the poison has already entered your bloodstream and will soon spread throughout your body. At that time..."

Before he finished speaking, the Azure Dragon appeared out of thin air and instantly arrived beside Fugaku.

Then he tapped his fingers a few times, and several whooshing sounds rang out as golden needles shot out from Qinglong's fingertips like arrows, accurately piercing several vital acupoints of Fugaku.

"I can only temporarily block the path of the toxin's spread," Qinglong said in a low voice, his tone tinged with urgency, "but this is only a temporary measure and cannot eradicate the toxin from the body."

As the gold needles were inserted, Fugaku felt a cool energy flow into his body through the acupoints, and the spread of the toxins slowed down significantly.

"puff!"

Fugaku suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, mixed with countless white worms writhing on the ground. His breathing became slightly more steady, but his face remained as pale as paper.

"That's enough," Fugaku said with difficulty. "At least it allows me to continue fighting."

"As expected of the number one guardian of Yanhuang, your reaction speed is truly fast." The Corpse King's voice suddenly rang out, "However, do you still have time to heal your wounds here?"

Before the words were even finished, the Corpse King's figure had already transformed into a black shadow, instantly appearing before the two. His right arm mutated once more, turning into a spear covered in spikes, aiming straight for the Azure Dragon's back.

The next second, nine hairpins emitting a ghostly light suddenly appeared, shooting out instantly and weaving into a dense, impenetrable silver net in the air. The Corpse King's figure froze abruptly, and he quickly took several steps back.

"This is..." The Corpse King's pupils contracted, "The Yanhuang National Treasure, the Nine-Dragon Hairpin?"

The Azure Dragon slowly stood up, with nine jade hairpins swirling around him. Each hairpin was carved with lifelike dragon patterns, and the faint golden dragon silhouettes could be seen moving within them.

"Let me show you the might of the Yanhuang nation!" Qinglong's expression turned solemn, and he slightly raised his right hand. Six jade hairpins flew back through the air, swirling around him. Golden light flowed within the dragon-shaped patterns on each hairpin.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!"

Six jade hairpins were pierced into the Azure Dragon's back in succession. With each hairpin sinking into the flesh, his aura surged. Golden energy flowed from where the hairpins had penetrated, outlining mysterious dragon-shaped patterns on the surface of his skin.

As the last jade hairpin sank into his body, Qinglong took a deep breath and suddenly opened his arms. With a muffled thud, countless cracks instantly appeared on Qinglong's skin, and blood seeped out along the cracks.

Intense pain surged through him like a tidal wave, but Qinglong gritted his teeth and endured it without uttering a sound.

"Dragon Soul Awakening!"

The Azure Dragon roared to the sky, and two emerald green horns burst forth from his forehead, each growth accompanied by the crisp sound of bones reforming. His pupils contracted rapidly, transforming into vertical beastly eyes, gleaming with a ghostly green light.

Then, a violent surge of energy erupted from the Azure Dragon's body, the shockwave spreading outwards as if it were tangible. The ground cracked inch by inch under this force, sending debris flying, and in the blink of an eye, a circular crater several meters deep was formed.

The Corpse King, not far away, felt a suffocating pressure wash over him, making even breathing difficult. "Is this the power of the national treasure? I've heard that each hairpin can qualitatively change one's strength. Interesting!"

The Azure Dragon slammed its right foot into the ground, instantly cracking the earth beneath its feet and sending shards of rock flying. Several cracks spread outwards like a spider web.

"Thump!"

A muffled sonic boom resounded. The Azure Dragon's figure vanished abruptly, the air compressed instantly, producing a dull thud. The Corpse King's pupils contracted, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and his body almost instinctively retreated violently.

"Such speed!" Alarm bells rang in the Corpse King's mind. In a flash, the Azure Dragon's figure appeared within arm's reach, his hand blade like a drawn sword, aimed straight for the Corpse King's throat.

The Corpse King hastily raised his arm to block, and his right arm was instantly covered with a layer of hard scales.

"Bang!"

Fist and arm collided, and a visible shockwave radiated outwards from the two. The Corpse King's entire arm was torn apart, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

The immense impact caused his body to slide uncontrollably backward, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"Your strength and speed have surpassed mine!" The Corpse King steadied himself and swung his left hand sharply. Countless blue and white arcs of electricity intertwined in the air, enveloping the Azure Dragon like an impenetrable spider web.

"Nine Transformations of the Dragon Form!"

The Azure Dragon's form flickered continuously within the lightning net, leaving an afterimage in the air with each movement. These afterimages vanished in an instant, yet constantly reappeared, dazzling the Corpse King and making it impossible for him to pinpoint the true form.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A barrage of attacks rained down from all directions. Each strike landed precisely on the Corpse King's vital points. Amidst flying blood and flesh, the Corpse King's body continued to explode.

However, as soon as those wounds appeared, countless tiny black flesh surged wildly, filling in the missing flesh in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

Azure Dragon unleashed a whip kick that cleaved the Corpse King in two at the waist with terrifying force. The Corpse King's body spun in the air, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "Indeed strong! But..."

Before the words were even finished, the Corpse King's two halves reconnected at a speed visible to the naked eye. The black flesh writhed like a living thing, and in the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state.

He rolled over to steady himself, a playful glint in his eyes: "How long can you keep going like this? I'll wear you down eventually!"

"Let's see if your recovery speed is faster, or my attack is more powerful!"

Azure Dragon's fist slammed out again, piercing straight through the Corpse King's body, blood splattering and flesh flying everywhere. But in that instant, the Corpse King's body suddenly writhed, locking tightly around Azure Dragon's arm as if it were alive.

"Oh no!" Qinglong's pupils shrank, and he tried to pull his arm back, but found that he could no longer move.

The Corpse King's lips curled into a ferocious smile, and his right arm suddenly swelled up, its scales bursting open inch by inch to reveal the hideous bone spurs beneath.

The Bullet Mantis Shrimp unleashed its devastating attack once more, compressing the air to its limit under the Corpse King's onslaught, creating a shockwave visible to the naked eye. Azure Dragon's pupils constricted; it instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his right fist, and tensed all his muscles instantly, choosing to fight fire with fire.

At this critical moment, a terrifying energy fluctuation suddenly came from behind the Corpse King.

"boom!"

The Heavenly Pillar, enveloped in dazzling golden light, crashed down, golden runes bursting forth from its shaft as if alive, instantly enveloping him entirely.

"When?" The Corpse King's pupils shrank, only then realizing that Fugaku had regained his mobility at some point.

The Heavenly Pillar swept across, slamming into his back. With a cracking sound of bones breaking, the Corpse King's body crashed to the ground like a cannonball.

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

Golden runes flowed across the Corpse King's body, sealing off his mobility. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, the Azure Dragon flashed to the Corpse King's side.

"Die!" Qinglong roared, his fists raining down on the Corpse King.

Only afterimages could be seen in the air, each strike hitting the Corpse King's vitals with pinpoint accuracy. The Corpse King's flesh exploded like paper, black blood gushing out.

Although the Corpse King's flesh and blood were rapidly regenerating, the Azure Dragon's attack rhythm was too fast, and the newly grown flesh and blood were shattered by the next blow.

"Damn it, this can't go on." The Corpse King's pupils contracted rapidly, and his wings flapped violently, transforming him into a black shadow that soared into the sky.

"Trying to run?" Qinglong stomped his foot, the ground cracked instantly, and he chased after the enemy like an arrow.

The Corpse King suddenly turned around and saw that the Azure Dragon had closed to within ten meters. A ruthless glint flashed in the Corpse King's eyes, and his right arm transformed into a sharp bone spear.

"Die!" the Corpse King roared, his bone spear aimed straight for the Azure Dragon's heart.

As Qinglong shifted his body to the side, the bone spear grazed his chest, leaving a bloody gash.

Just as the Azure Dragon dodged the attack, countless fine cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the bone spear, which then exploded with a bang, turning into a thick black mist that enveloped the entire battlefield.

"This is!" Qinglong's pupils shrank, and he felt the surrounding air become viscous, and his vision was completely blocked.

"Trying to escape with such a petty trick?" Fugaku sneered, his Sharingan spinning rapidly, and Susanoo began forming hand seals.

"Uchiha Flame Formation!"

A ring of blazing flames exploded in mid-air, shooting fire into the sky and instantly forming a huge fire barrier above the black mist. Inside the barrier, countless tongues of fire danced wildly, the temperature so high that it distorted and deformed the air.

With a muffled thud, the Corpse King's body crashed heavily into the barrier, shattering it instantly, but still managing to hold the Corpse King back for a moment.

"It's over!" A cold glint flashed in Fugaku's eyes, and he hurled the Heavenly Pillar in an instant. The runes on the staff swirled rapidly, emitting a dazzling golden light.

The air was torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek. The Heavenly Pillar, like a golden lightning bolt, instantly pierced through the barrier of space.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered as the Heavenly Pillar pierced the Corpse King's chest with unstoppable force, pinning him to the ground. Countless golden runes burst forth from the staff like living things, instantly enveloping the Corpse King.

But at that moment, the Corpse King revealed a strange smile.

"Yes, it's definitely over."

boom!

Suddenly, a bloody hole exploded in the Corpse King's chest, and a black shadow no bigger than a fist darted out. It was a miniature version of the Corpse King, its body covered in fine black scales.

"The previous body was merely a vessel," the Corpse King's voice was shrill and piercing. "It was all to stall you, giving me time to thoroughly analyze that guy's genes and trace their origins."

"Not good!" Fugaku's expression changed drastically, and the Heavenly Pillar trembled violently as he tried to transfer the runes to the Little Corpse King.

With a sudden stomp of his foot, the ground cracked instantly, and his figure shot forward like an arrow, closing the distance to the Little Corpse King in an instant.

"It's too late," the little zombie king sneered.

The next second, his body suddenly swelled violently, and green lines appeared on his skin, spreading rapidly like tree rings.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, countless thick branches suddenly burst forth from the Corpse King's body, quickly taking root in the earth as if they were alive, emitting a muffled rumbling sound.

The earth trembled violently, and countless cracks spread outwards from the Corpse King. The ground suddenly bulged, and more branches burst forth from the soil, growing wildly. Each branch expanded at an astonishing rate, growing to tens of meters in diameter in the blink of an eye.

Then countless thick branches began to merge, transforming into a giant tree with a diameter of over several hundred meters. Its dark branches stretched to the horizon, and its canopy blocked out the sunlight, plunging an area of ​​several kilometers into darkness in an instant.

"This scale..." Fugaku looked up and felt a chill run down his spine.

Just then, the giant tree's root system began frantically absorbing underground energy. The vegetation on the ground withered at a visible speed, the trees cracked and turned to ash. The soil quickly lost moisture and cracked.

At the top of the giant tree, a huge black fruit slowly grew out. The fruit's surface was covered with jet-black scales and kept wriggling, as if something was about to break out of its cocoon.

Suddenly, countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the fruit, and black liquid seeped out from the cracks.

"Snap!"

The fruit exploded, and the figure of the Corpse King slowly emerged from it. His body underwent a tremendous change; his skin was covered with a layer of silver-black scales, and a single horn grew from his forehead.

What is most striking is the vertical eye that is closed and faintly visible right in the center of his forehead.

An oppressive feeling burst forth from him, and both Seiryu and Fugaku felt a tightness in their chests, as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

"This level of evolution?" Azure Dragon's pupils contracted as he sensed the chilling aura emanating from the other party.

"What's going on?" Suddenly, the Corpse King frowned, as if he had sensed something unusual. The vertical eye on his forehead twitched violently, but he couldn't open it.

Just then, a soft "crack" sound came from inside his body. The Corpse King's expression suddenly twisted, and his body trembled violently. A sharp pain surged from within him.

"Well!"

The Corpse King groaned and knelt on one knee. Suddenly, the scales on his arm began to crack, revealing the frantically writhing flesh beneath. Several jagged bone spikes suddenly pierced through the flesh, splattering blood everywhere.

"Damn it." The Corpse King's voice became hoarse and distorted, accompanied by a metallic crackling sound. "We've completely analyzed his DNA, so why is there still this rejection reaction?"

The Corpse King could feel his blood boiling wildly, every cell groaning, "Is there a defect in my genes...?"
