Naruto: Forced to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi in order to return home

Upon hearing this, the playful look on Cheng Yun's face vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and focus.

She slowly raised her slender hands, her fingertips lightly touching the air, as if summoning an invisible force.

In an instant, countless tiny points of light seemed to be awakened in the air. They converged and intertwined, gradually forming a complex and mysterious array, emitting a faint glow, like a dream.

The array seemed to possess a life of its own, rapidly splitting into countless smaller arrays that revolved around Cheng Yun like stars, forming a 360-degree impenetrable defensive barrier.

Each array pattern shimmered with a unique light, echoing each other to form an indestructible barrier.

Any attack attempting to penetrate this defense will be captured by an indescribable [spacetime power] upon contact with these array diagrams, as if being swept into an endless vortex.

This force not only traces the attack back to its source, but also gradually weakens it in the process, until it finally dissipates completely.

This move is Cheng Yun's most powerful defensive technique!

"[Stop the war]..."

Fengtian sighed softly, his eyes filled with a mixture of helplessness and irony:

"Chengyun, you're still using the same old tricks, aren't you..."

"How many cycles of reincarnation have we gone through? Don't you get tired of it?"

His words carried a hint of mockery, yet they couldn't hide his apprehension towards Cheng Yun's abilities.

At this moment, he was like a tiger poised to pounce, but when faced with Cheng Yun's rock-solid defense, he had to restrain all his sharpness.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yun's lips curled into a playful smile, her eyes sparkling with confidence:

"Hehe, skills are all about usability, aren't they?"

She seemed completely unconcerned about Fengtian's teasing; that composure and confidence were the light of wisdom she had honed through countless reincarnations.

She knew that her [power of time and space] was almost impenetrable in terms of defense.

This is the valuable experience she has gained from countless brushes with death and countless cycles of reincarnation.

In this world where the strong rule, when a fatal blow cannot be guaranteed, protecting oneself is the primary rule of survival.

Therefore, no matter how much Fengtian mocked her, Chengyun just smiled calmly and continued to focus on maintaining the array surrounding her.

Every tiny point of light seemed to speak of her profound understanding and mastery of the laws of space and time.

"Fengtian, you seem to have forgotten that we are the ones who understand each other best."

Cheng Yun's voice echoed within the array, carrying a subtle, almost imperceptible gentleness:

"I know everything about your attack methods, your fighting habits, and even the slightest fluctuations in your heart."

"Hmph, so what if I understand?"

Feng Tian snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and the [Power of Cause and Effect] within his body surged once more:

"Today, I will shatter your so-called 'time travel' and show you what true power is!"

As he spoke, Fengtian suddenly accelerated, transforming into a streak of black lightning, like a comet streaking across the night sky, and charged straight toward the array diagram set up by Chengyun.

His speed was so fast that it seemed he had broken free from the shackles of time, and he approached Cheng Yun with boundless killing intent.

However, just as Fengtian was about to touch the edge of the array that was shimmering with mysterious light, a cunning glint flashed in Chengyun's eyes, as if she had already seen through his intentions.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, and with a gentle flick of her finger, the array diagram underwent a subtle change—the originally tightly arranged points of light seemed to receive some kind of instruction, suddenly becoming sparse, as if a passage had been specially laid out for Fengtian's charge.

However, Fengtian did not relax his vigilance in the slightest. Years of combat experience told him that Chengyun's methods were far more than that, and there must be a mystery behind this seemingly simple change.

Sure enough, just as he was about to pass through the array, a powerful and suffocating [space-time force] suddenly surged from all directions, tightly enveloping him.

This force was like an endless abyss, not only restricting his movements but also constantly retracing his attacks, attempting to nip any threat in the bud.

Fengtian felt an unprecedented pressure bearing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Hmph, such a petty trick, you think you can trap me?"

Fengtian roared, and the [Power of Cause and Effect] hidden within his body suddenly erupted, radiating a dazzling light, attempting to break free from this restraint.

However, Cheng Yun's [Time Rewind] was like an invisible giant net, tightening its grip and binding Feng Tian tightly, giving him no chance to escape.

Left with no other choice, Fengtian had a sudden thought and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to temporarily escape the net's grasp.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Are you standing at the door, too afraid to come in?"

Cheng Yun's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, rang softly in Feng Tian's ears, like a gentle spring breeze, yet concealing a sharp edge.

"Come on, I'll stand right here, without moving, and see if you can get close to me!"

Her voice was full of challenge and confidence, as if she were inviting Fengtian into a carefully laid trap.

Upon hearing this, Fengtian's face instantly turned ashen. He had never imagined that he would be so humiliated in front of his former adversary.

A surge of anger welled up in his chest, but he forced himself to calm down, his gaze fixed intently on Cheng Yun's seemingly calm yet subtly mysterious figure.

"Chengyun, don't get too cocky!"

Fengtian gritted his teeth, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth:

"Today, I, by the mandate of Heaven, will shatter your so-called 'time travel' and show you what true power is!"

As the words fell, the [Power of Cause and Effect] within Fengtian's body surged once more, like magma before a volcanic eruption, turbulent and seemingly about to break through all constraints and unleash its destructive power.

Seeing this, Cheng Yun smiled faintly yet mysteriously, as if she was thoroughly enjoying the process of wits and probing each other with Feng Tian.

She gently waved her hands, and the array diagram underwent another subtle change. The originally scattered light spots seemed to be drawn together by an invisible force, quickly converging.

It quickly formed a barrier that was even more indestructible and radiant than before, as if it were to keep out all attacks.

"Fengtian, have you forgotten? My power stems from a profound understanding of time and space!"

"And your [Power of Cause and Effect], though powerful, appears so pale and powerless before my [Power of Space and Time]."

Cheng Yun's voice echoed within the array, carrying a hint of mockery and confidence.

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Fengtian's eyes. Without further hesitation, he rapidly formed hand seals, and the power of cause and effect within his body surged forth, as if about to unleash a storm.

"Chengyun, don't be so arrogant!"

"Today, I'll show you what true despair is!"

Fengtian shouted loudly, and his figure once again transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing straight towards Chengyun.

However, just as he was about to touch Cheng Yun, a powerful force of spacetime distortion suddenly emerged, instantly twisting and reversing his attack until it completely dissipated.

Fengtian's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Chengyun's [Time Reversal] to be so powerful that even his [Power of Cause and Effect] couldn't break through it.

He staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

"Hmph, Fengtian, bring on whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve..."

"Today, I, Chengyun, will play along with you to the very end!"

Cheng Yun's voice was full of provocation and confidence.

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Fengtian's eyes. He knew that if things continued like this, he might truly be unable to defeat Chengyun.

So, he gritted his teeth and decided to use his last trump card.

"Chengyun, you forced me to do this!"

Fengtian shouted loudly, his hands quickly forming a seal. The [Power of Cause and Effect] within his body erupted like a volcano, instantly emitting a dazzling light that enveloped his entire body.

Amidst the light, Fengtian's figure gradually blurred until it completely disappeared, as if merging into this space, leaving only a wisp of afterglow swaying in the air.

The sudden light stung Cheng Yun's eyes, forcing her to close them temporarily and shield them with her hand.

After the light faded, she quickly opened her eyes, only to find that Fengtian had vanished. This sudden change immediately put her on alert, her whole body tense, ready to deal with any possible attack.

However, as time passed by, half an incense stick's time flew by, and Fengtian still hadn't launched any offensive.

Cheng Yun's doubts deepened. She began to search carefully for traces of Feng Tian in this space, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not find a single clue.

Only then did Cheng Yun suddenly realize that Feng Tian, ​​knowing he was no match for him, had chosen to run away!

This discovery enraged her. She pointed to the sky and roared:

"Fengtian! You shameless bastard! You have no martial ethics! A grown man like you, deserting in the face of battle, what kind of hero are you!"

"Release her right now!"
