Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

The second use of "Infinite Ring" is to use it on oneself, with an effect similar to "Izanagi", but far stronger than "Izanagi".

The function of "Izanagi" is to record the user's state with the Sharingan at the moment of its activation, and then, within the effective time of the technique (the effective time varies for each person), any damage suffered by the user, including the user's death, can be physically restored to the state recorded by the Sharingan (but the user's consumed chakra will not be restored).

The effect of "Infinite Ring" when used on oneself is to capture a current space and leave Bai Yu's pupil power imprint in this specific space-time.

In the time that followed, Bai Yu could immediately return to the previously captured spacetime simply by consuming his pupil power.

In other words, if Bai Yu were to fight a powerful enemy, he would not be certain of victory.

He can first capture a specific space 'a' at home, where the pupil imprint left by Bai Yu will preserve his state at this moment.

If he fights the enemy later and finds himself no match, he can directly return to space a through the "Infinite Ring" and restore the state he previously preserved in space a.

Although it's not time reversal, the effect is already extremely powerful, many times stronger than "Izanagi".

Even the "Izanagi Ring" only physically restores any damage suffered by the user during its activation, including the user's death, to the state recorded by the Sharingan. However, it cannot restore the chakra and ocular power that have already been consumed.

But the "Infinity Ring" can!

The only limitation is that the effect of this eye technique can only last for one day.

"This eye technique is perfect for dealing with Isshiki Otsutsuki, who excels in taijutsu. Plus, after advancing to the third level, I can learn space-based magic. This time, it's entirely possible to capture Isshiki alive!"

Bai Yu pondered to himself, feeling the immense power surging within his body, and then activated "Eye of Truth" to check his attributes.

Bai Yu checked his surging attributes and suddenly felt relieved.

The upgrade in level brings greater strength, longer lifespan, and a greater sense of security.

Mental strength and magical power doubled directly. This is not a simple one plus one equals two. Normal bloodline sorcerers could never have such an increase.

Based on his initial assessment, Bai Yu felt that he could easily crush his pre-promotion self.

This was the first time he hadn't known just how strong he was.

This feeling is absolutely wonderful!

The innate spell "Wood Spirit Avatar" can be upgraded!

The innate spell "Enchanted Scales" can be upgraded!

The talent spell "Chain of Emotions" can be upgraded!

The talent spell "Soul Projection" can be upgraded!

The innate spell "Serpent Parasite" can be upgraded!

"Seven innate spells at level three? Even warlocks with higher-level bloodlines wouldn't be this outrageous! And... my innate spells can even be upgraded!"

After reviewing the attributes, seven complex spell models appeared in Bai Yu's soul space. Two of them were completely solidified, while the other five were more complex than before.

Bai Yu infused his spiritual power into it.

"Wood Spirit Avatar (Level 2)": A fixed-type talent spell; creates a pure wood-attribute avatar, fused with the same bloodline, perfectly replicating cells; initial attributes: third-class apprentice, can cultivate and level up independently, but cannot exceed the current level of the main body; number that can be summoned (0/3); cost: 5 points of mental power, 50 points of magic power; (spell can be upgraded)

"Wood Spirit Avatar (Level 3)": A fixed-type talent spell; creates a pure wood-attribute avatar, fused with the same bloodline, perfectly replicating cells; Initial attributes: Level 1 warlock, can cultivate and level up autonomously, but cannot exceed the current level of the main body; Number that can be summoned (0/4); Cost: 2.5 points of mental power, 25 points of mana; (Spell can be upgraded)

"Enchanted Scales (Level 2)": An instant-cast talent spell; allows a layer of enchanted white scales to grow on the body's surface; increases physical defense by 100% and spell resistance by 150%; Cost: 1 point of mental energy/hour, 10 points of mana/hour; (Spell can be upgraded)

"Chain of Emotions (Level 2)": A collection-type talent spell; anger, joy, fear, sadness, despair, worship, hatred... The emotions of extraordinary beings contain mysterious power. Gathering a large amount of concentrated emotional power creates a point, with an 80% chance to be fused into an 'Emotion Rule'; Cost: Each use consumes 0.5 points of mental energy and 5 points of mana; (An additional talent spell with bonuses from Meditation, upgradable)

"Chain of Emotions (Tier 3)": A gathering-type talent spell; anger, joy, fear, sadness, despair, worship, hatred... the emotions of extraordinary beings contain mysterious power. Gathering a large amount of concentrated emotional power creates a point, with an 85% chance to be fused into an 'Emotion Rule'; Cost: Each use consumes 0.1 points of mental energy and 1 point of mana; (An additional talent spell with bonuses from Meditation, upgradable)

"Soul Projection (Level 2)": A fixed-type talent spell; it separates a soul clone from the main body, allowing it to maintain cross-dimensional communication and establish coordinates with the main body; initial attributes: third-class apprentice, can cultivate and level up independently, but cannot exceed the main body's current level; number of projections possible (0/1); cost: 55 points of mental power, 550 points of mana; (spell can be upgraded)

"Soul Projection (Level 3)": A fixed-type talent spell; it separates a soul clone from the main body, allowing it to maintain cross-dimensional communication and establish coordinates with the main body; initial attributes: Level 1 Wizard/Warlock, can level up autonomously, but cannot exceed the main body's current level; number of projections possible (0/1); cost: 20 points of mental power, 200 points of mana; (spell can be upgraded)

"Serpent Spirit Parasite (Level 2)": Instant-cast talent spell; When the main body suffers fatal damage, it can split its soul to escape and parasitize the soul of a creature of the same bloodline, reviving by absorbing the other's life force and soul power; Cost: 80 points of mental power, 800 points of mana; (Spell can be upgraded)

"Serpent Spirit Parasite (Level 3)": An instant-cast talent spell; when the main body suffers fatal damage, it can split its soul and escape, parasitizing the soul of a creature of the same bloodline, reviving by absorbing the other's life force and soul power; the main body can leave a mark in the soul or body of a creature of the same bloodline, through which it can absorb the creature's bloodline, life force, and soul power; Cost: 40 points of mental power, 400 points of mana; (Spell can be upgraded)

"No wonder level three wizards are called great wizards. The talent spell model of level three is so complex. If it were to be fully upgraded, it would probably take more than thirty years!"

Bai Yu only made a rough estimate of the time required to upgrade the talent spell model using mental power, and then came to an astonishing conclusion.

However, he didn't find it troublesome at all; on the contrary, he felt more confident because the complex talent spell model brought even more powerful effects.

Upgrading all these spells to level three will give him another huge boost in combat power.

"Next is..."

Bai Yu began to examine his two newly added talent spells.

"Dream Projection (Level 3)": An instant-cast talent spell; separates the main part of the soul consciousness and perfectly integrates it into the body of a transcendent being through the power of dreams, avoiding the perception of the plane's will; initial soul attribute: Level 1 Wizard/Warlock, can be cultivated and upgraded autonomously, with no level cap; number of projections possible (0/1); cost: 120 points of mental power, 1200 points of mana; (spell can be upgraded)

"Astral Gate (Tier 3)": A fixed-type talent spell; it can construct a fixed spatial gate through dimensional coordinates, enabling interdimensional teleportation; Cost: 200 Spirit Points, 2000 Mana Points; (This talent spell provides additional bonuses to Meditation and can be upgraded)

"Soul projection and dream projection seem to be usable in combination, with no level cap. Doesn't that mean... they can even surpass me as the original body?!"

"The Astral Gate, besides allowing my physical body to descend, seems to enable the large-scale deployment of troops for combat."

Bai Yu suddenly felt that the road ahead was becoming increasingly clear.

[Chapter 277. Operation 256 (This chapter is free; the previous chapter was posted incorrectly)]

Five months passed quietly, and Konoha Year 64 arrived.

Bai Yu has basically adapted to the comprehensive increase in all aspects of his attributes, and after repeated trials, he has determined the best way to fight with his Rinnegan eye techniques.

In terms of innate spells, the newly added "Dream Projection" and "Astral Gate" are not combat spells, and the same goes for "Soul Projection," which are all innate spells that are beneficial for plane exploration.

As for the actual combat abilities "Wood Spirit Avatar" and "Serpent Spirit Parasite," they haven't reached level three yet; they're currently only level two talent spells.

However, after Bai Yu advanced to the third level "Summoner", his physique, mental strength and magic power increased greatly. So even though the "Demonized Scales" did not reach the level of a third-level talent spell, its actual defensive power was still greatly enhanced.

Considering that if they continued to delay, Otsutsuki Isshiki would recover more power, Shiraha decided it was time to take the initiative.

With the Rinnegan's eye techniques, Shiraha can adjust his fighting style and tactics, and with the assistance of Orochimaru and Kushina, he should have a higher chance of winning against Isshiki Otsutsuki in a three-on-one situation.

Most importantly, Bai Yu's Rinnegan eye technique possesses space-based abilities. If he can successfully suppress Otsutsuki Isshiki, he will likely be able to kill or even capture Isshiki alive.

After awakening his spatial talent, he has now learned a spell that can be considered a trump card, which will greatly limit enemies who also possess spatial abilities.

Even Bai Yu himself did not expect that he would be able to master a level three spatial spell in just five months.

Although it's only a preliminary grasp, as long as there's enough time to prepare in advance, it can definitely lead to unexpected victories at crucial moments.

"It's about time to take action."

Bai Yu got up from the bed in the laboratory, raised his finger lightly, and activated the "Cleaning Spell". A whirlwind swept through the entire laboratory, taking away all the dust.

Upon exiting the laboratory, one could see that on the open ground at the edge of the underground palace hall, the layman Guoxin was practicing his physical arts.

Bai Yu has been in seclusion for nearly four years, and Guo Xin Jushi has stayed here all the time. He must be quite bored.

"Lord Bai Yu."

When Guoxin Jushi saw Bai Yu walk out of the laboratory, he immediately stopped what he was doing, and in a flash, he came to Bai Yu's side and bowed respectfully.

"Yes, you did a great job." Bai Yu nodded with a smile.

After advancing to the third level, he had Guoxin Jushi summon the Samadhi True Fire to burn his mental energy over the past few months. It was still effective, but less than one-tenth of the effect of his previous mental energy training.

At this rate, theoretically it would take him at least eighty years to reach the crystallization stage of level three spiritual power, and at the peak of level three crystallization, it would take at least one hundred and fifty years.

Moreover, Bai Yu has only just advanced in his cultivation. As the materialization of his spiritual power progresses, the effect of the Samadhi True Fire on the burning and tempering of his spiritual power will continue to weaken. Reaching the peak of Level 3 crystallization in 150 years is the shortest theoretical time that Bai Yu calculated after using the Grell Mine.

The actual practice time should be longer.

However, compared to the speed of progress, this time span is definitely very short for a warlock.

Of course, without compromising the stability of his foundation, Bai Yu naturally hoped to cultivate as quickly as possible, since it would take twenty or thirty years just to raise the other second-level talent spells to the third level.

"You will remain here for the time being until I resolve the first move, after which you will be free to move around as you please."
