Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

On the other side, Kushina had already entered 'Nine-Tails Chakra Mode', changed into 'Golden Skin', and her body turned into a blur, shattering all the stone golems around the altar.

The surrounding Yellow Springs cultists were instantly killed.

When Bai Yu arrived at the cave entrance, Kushina threw the Miroku on her back at him and then launched an attack on the demon.

Bai Yu grabbed the dizzy and disoriented Maitreya and shouted a reminder:

"Kushina, watch out!"

"Got it! I'll hold it off!"

Kushina replied.

Bai Yu immediately led Maitreya into the altar. With Maitreya there, the barrier, which had been attacked by the undead army for three days without being broken, was as thin as a film and broke with a single puncture.

The two entered the cave.

They arrived at the enormous underground altar.

The altar was densely covered with various strange black symbols, unlike any sealing technique Bai Yu had ever learned.

"Lord Bai Yu, this is enough. Don't go any further."

Maitreya reminded him and led him toward the center of the altar.

Bai Yu sensed the immense energy field emanating from the altar, and even without Maitreya's warning, he wouldn't approach it casually.

Maitreya stood in the center of the altar, then sat cross-legged, put his hands together, and began to silently recite the mantra. Immediately afterwards, his hands quickly formed a mudra.

hum!

The entire altar lit up, radiating a dazzling purple light.

The powerful energy particle fluctuations caused Bai Yu to instinctively step back.

"This is......"

boom!

The purple light emanating from the altar quickly converged at the center, then shot straight into the sky, erupting from the crater and piercing through the clouds.

"What kind of power is this?"

Bai Yu looked surprised. Under the perception of his "sixth sense", he felt that the energy particles in this large space were attracted by Maitreya and gathered on her body, and then burst out in an instant.

Bai Yu wondered if this power, if it entered his body, could instantly burst him apart.

Even if you are promoted one level, there is no guarantee that you will be able to handle it.

The priestess's power is truly amazing!?

"Ah! I'm not reconciled! Maitreya—!"

In the sky, the demon that was constantly attacking Kushina suddenly let out a sharp cry. An invisible sound wave spread rapidly, and a dark shadow was pulled out from the demon's body and then merged into the purple pillar of light. As the pillar of light disappeared, the dark shadow also merged into the altar.

"I will come back sooner or later, Maitreya!"

The malevolent voice of the demon rang out, making Bai Yu feel dizzy.

"Lord Baiyu, please escort me back to the palace in the Land of Demons."

Maitreya stood up, but his body went limp, as if he had no strength to walk.

Bai Yu quickly stepped forward to support her, and at the same time sent Yang Release chakra into Miroku's body. He found that her body was not damaged at all, only slightly tired.

That's an incredible ability!

He's just a little weak?

"Your Highness Maitreya, I'll take you back."

Bai Yu carried Maitreya on his back.

Once he emerged from the underground altar, all the surrounding stone golems had ceased their movements. Although the demon in the sky was still waving its tentacles to attack Kushina, its movements were much slower than before. At this speed, even an ordinary Jonin could easily dodge it.

"Kushina, keep up with me!"

Shiraha called out to Kushina in the sky before returning to the Land of Demons.

Fortunately, both the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps were small countries, and he made a full-speed run, returning to the palace in just one hour.

And just as Maitreya had said, the body of the demon was forced to follow.

Miroku returned to the palace and used the 'shrine maiden's power' once again. Although the wraith's body struggled continuously, the wraith, having lost its soul, was merely an empty shell and could not put up any effective resistance. It was quickly suppressed by the underground barrier of the palace.

After doing all this, Maitreya seemed completely exhausted and collapsed onto the mat.

"Your Highness Maitreya, how are you?"

Bai Yu stepped forward and said.

He originally intended to seize the demon for his experiments, but the demon felt too dangerous to him, and conducting experiments at this stage would be too risky.

On the contrary, since the priestess's power is so effective against the demons, if we can figure out the source of the priestess's power, we can better study the demons.

Since the witch and the demon are both here and can't escape, he's determined to find out what's going on.

"After the demon was sealed, my abilities were also suppressed, and I'm just a little tired now. I thank Lord Bai Yu and Lady Kushina for their help. Without your help, sealing the demon wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Maitreya said gratefully.

Without their help, countless people in the Land of Demons would have died, and the price paid would have been unimaginable to successfully seal the demon. The seal might even have failed, leading to the destruction of the world.

"How did it go? Did it succeed?" Once the demon's physical body was successfully sealed, Kushina entered the palace.

"Success."

Bai Yu nodded.

"That's good." Kushina breathed a sigh of relief: "The power of the demons is really exaggerated! By the way, it seems that the leader of the Yomi Cult has run away."

With that, Kushina closed her eyes and used Kagura's Mind's Eye to sense the location of Yomi.

"Found him! I'm going to bring him back."

Kushina rushed out of the palace in a great hurry.

At this moment, Bai Yu frowned slightly, unsure of where to begin.

"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will tell you anything I know, after all, we are the same kind of people."

Maitreya suddenly spoke.

"The same kind of people?"

Bai Yu was taken aback.

"You also resonated with the power of the demons, didn't you? Apart from the demons' followers and priestesses, no one else is directly affected by the demons. You don't have the demons' aura, but you were still affected, which means your power is similar to that of the priestess. I didn't expect this kind of power to appear in a man."

Maitreya explained.

"You mean I can also wield the power of a priestess?"

Bai Yu asked.

This power is so strong that if he could master it, it would greatly enhance his combat strength.

Miroku shook his head: "I don't know either. The power of a priestess is innate. It is passed down from generation to generation. When a demon breaks the seal, the priestess's power will increase; when a demon is sealed, the priestess's power will weaken, until it is passed on to the next generation."

"If I wish to study the power of the priestess, and the demons, would Prince Miroku be willing to help me?"

"Research?" Maitreya was taken aback: "The power of the demons is evil and can cause people to lose their minds. You actually want to research the demons?!"

“Power has no distinction between good and evil. Just as you said, your power also comes from demons, but you are not evil, are you?”

“This…” Maitreya fell into deep thought, then looked up and asked, “What can I do? How can I cooperate with you?”

"You're agreeing to this?"

Maitreya's agreement was so readily accepted that Bai Yu was somewhat bewildered.

"The seal on the demon will continue to weaken. Even without the Yellow Springs Cult, the seal will be broken sooner or later. Then my daughter will have to face such a terrible demon again. If Lord Baiyu really has the ability to study the power of the demon, it will not be a bad thing for me or for the entire Demon Kingdom."

Bai Yu countered, "Aren't you afraid that after I figure out the power of the demons, I'll also want to rule the whole world?"

"Without Lord Baiyu's help, the altar of the Swamp Country will be destroyed tomorrow. At that time, the power of the demons will be fully restored, and the world will fall into chaos. The ending will be the same."

"Alright, since you've put it this way, I have no more reservations. By the way, what's your daughter's name, and where is she now?"

I don't have a daughter yet.

"No?"

“The priestess’s offspring will only be female. I will conceive when I receive the prayers and blessings of the people of the Land of Demons,” Miroku explained.

"Prayers and blessings?!" Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, surprised that such a method of conception actually existed.

"To provide Your Highness Baiyu with an extra layer of protection in your research on demons, please accept the priestess's blessing."

"A priestess's blessing? What is that?"

Maitreya stepped forward, his face slightly flushed: "Please close your eyes."

Bai Yu: "?"

What story unfolds here?

Bai Yu closed his eyes, squinting slightly.

"Please don't peek." Miroku grabbed Bai Yu's right hand.

Since the "sixth sense" did not sense any danger and the energy field around Miroku did not fluctuate, Bai Yu closed his eyes.

The warm, damp touch from her fingers made Bai Yu instinctively open her eyes.

Maitreya looked up at him slightly and actually put his index finger in his mouth.

Despite having such a pure and holy expression, she engaged in such impure behavior... Bai Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Hiss!"

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yu felt a sharp pain in his fingertip.

Maitreya had bitten her fingertip, and she sucked the blood from it into her mouth.

"May His Excellency Bai Yu enjoy great success in his military campaigns!"

Maitreya bowed deeply to Bai Yu.
