Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"Lightning attribute, the natural origin!"

"Om!!"

The black lightning dragon had clearly noticed Hagoromo Otsutsuki's intrusion, but instead of launching an attack rashly, it watched Hagoromo Otsutsuki with extreme caution, assuming a fighting stance, while lightning surged around its body, as if warning something.

This situation greatly surprised Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"To think that it could evolve a physical form without the aid of Yin and Yang power, relying solely on its own strength?!"

Chakra is essentially energy. Only when combined with the power of Yin-Yang Release can it evolve into life. This is a fundamental law that Hagoromo Otsutsuki discovered over a thousand years in this world.

For example, the tailed beasts were created by Hagoromo Otsutsuki using the power of Yin-Yang Release.

But at this moment, a chakra without the power of Yin-Yang Release has actually evolved into a life form and even possessed intelligence. This was something that Hagoromo Otsutsuki had never expected.

Compared to other natural elements he has encountered over the years, this one is far superior in both strength and other aspects!

"Roar!!"

Before Hagoromo Otsutsuki could think further, the dark lightning dragon roared and charged towards him with a deafening roar.

Black lightning streaked through the void, dazzlingly bright!

The immortal wielded his staff to subdue the dragon, and the power of the six realms illuminated the heavens!

The battle for the last remaining source of power has officially begun!

……

Legend has it that this world was originally one, but ever since the Goddess of the Rabbit descended to earth, the God of the Heavenly Eye wreaked havoc on the human world, and the Sage of Six Paths quelled the turmoil, countless mysterious places have appeared in this world.

There are immortal holy sites hidden in the world, where immortals master the secrets of immortal arts; the descendants of gods reside high in the moon palace, overlooking the world.

Among these places, the most mysterious, the most hidden, the most mythologized and the most unseen by the world, is none other than the Pure Land of the Underworld!

That was the underworld of the dead during the thousands of years that this world was ruled by the Sage of Six Paths, the eternal resting place of the deceased, and the final destination of all souls.

However, this world was completely overturned by the actions of Otsutsuki Isshiki. Even though it has been reorganized by the immortals, the world looks quite empty and desolate, with few souls remaining. It seems no different from ordinary spaces.

In a desolate world of black and white, a mountain peak radiating a soft light stands tall. At the top of the mountain, a white-clad immortal sitting cross-legged suddenly opens his eyes and looks up at the dim sky.

He had two upward-pointing horns on his forehead, pure white pupils with faint outlines of patterns, and a calm gaze fixed on the sky, as if waiting for something.

The next moment, the dim world was torn apart by a beam of light, and a figure stepped through the air.

"This place is not quite what I expected."

Minazuki looked down at the world beneath her feet, countless eyes swirling in their sockets, and looked at the solitary sage sitting in the temple below with a half-smile: "Your first move was truly excellent. Otherwise, if it were me, it would probably have been a real battle."

"The water has no moonlit night."

Hamura Otsutsuki slowly rose to his feet, his voice calm, his hands hanging at his sides: "You shouldn't have come here."

"Oh?"

Looking down at the immortals below, Minazuki Yoru asked in a strange tone, "I shouldn't have come here~ In this vast world, is there any place that I, Minazuki Yoru, cannot go?!"

Hamura Otsutsuki remained silent, but his body erupted with immense chakra, and six Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind him.

His pure white eyes sparkled with exceptionally bright stars, and his gaze gradually turned murderous, emanating an aura of destruction.

Without warning, the location where Minazuki Yoru was standing suddenly exploded, and the Sage's attack had begun!

"Zheng!!"

The black blade blocked the attack, and Mizuki Yoru looked at Otsutsuki Hamura, who was holding a golden sword, and the playful smile on his face gradually faded.

Compared to Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who loved to play tricks and set up all sorts of schemes and plans, his younger brother Hamura Otsutsuki was obviously much more pure.

However, the former possesses the blessing of the 'Ten-Tails' and is the elder brother, thus maintaining a dominant position in the fight against the Goddess of Rabbit.

However, if we disregard the Ten-Tails and consider the pure combat strength of the two brothers, Hamura Otsutsuki is definitely superior to Hagoromo Otsutsuki!

However, what Minazuki Yoru likes most is fighting guys like this!

Hamura Otsutsuki's sleeves fluttered in the torrent of chakra, and the six Truth-Seeking Balls transformed into a dazzling golden sword in his palm. Countless eyes darted within Mizuki Yoru's pupils, and the spiritual energy sword aura unleashed by his black sword seemed poised to cleave the heavens and earth.

"boom!!"

The clash between the black blade and the golden sword was deafening, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the space within a ten-mile radius.

The Tenseigan, like stars, met Minazuki Yoru's eyes, both fully aware of the power the other possessed.

There were no meaningless pre-battle declarations, nor any shouts introducing their moves; all the two did was swing their swords!

Having reached the Sixth Path level, things like "Gundam" and "large size" are no longer very meaningful. Their qualitative evolution has given them an overwhelming ability to break through enemy lines from a single point, and the size of their bodies has no impact on battles at this level.

However, their small size does not mean that their battle will be quiet.

Every collision between the two contained immense energy, almost always shattering the surrounding space.

The golden sword pierced the air, and Mizuki Yoru twisted to dodge. With a thought, countless sacred arrows gathered in mid-air and shot towards Otsutsuki Hamura.

Hamura Otsutsuki neither dodged nor evaded; the Truth-Seeking Balls behind him spun continuously in mid-air, stirring up a fierce gale that annihilated all the incoming Sacred Annihilation Arrows.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

A calm voice came from Otsutsuki Hamura's mouth, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from the golden sword, instantly transforming into a world-destroying radiance as it suddenly swung towards Minazuki Yoru.

Mizuki Yoru smiled calmly, waved his palm, and his powerful spiritual energy caused the black sword in his hand to expand infinitely, just like the Bankai of the Great Dog, the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment Myōō, instantly transforming into a black sword that reached the heavens and the earth.

The black blade and the golden sword clashed once more, their forms illuminating the entire Netherworld. Everything around them was annihilated by their collision, and even space itself collapsed.

In the midst of the silent collision, the golden sword, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, was swallowed by the black blade. A ripple appeared in the light, as if it had been slightly hindered for a moment, before the towering black blade fell down with even greater force.

"what?!"

For a moment, Hamura Otsutsuki's Tenseigan was lost in thought, and his tone was filled with astonishment.

But the black blade didn't give him a moment to catch his breath; in the blink of an eye, his figure was completely swallowed up by the black blade.

The black blade fell, instantly destroying everything in its path. All the buildings within the Yellow Springs Pure Land, and the entire space of the Yellow Springs Pure Land, were annihilated in that moment.

Like a cataclysmic explosion, an immense shockwave rippled outwards, utterly shattering the pure land of the underworld that the immortals had just cleansed...

Chapter 342 Minazuki Yoru VS Otsutsuki Hamura!

The Pure Land of the Underworld.

This place, once created by the Sage of Six Paths to collect souls and serve as a resting place for the dead, is now experiencing earth-shattering tremors and spatial fragmentation, as if the world is about to perish.

Under the black blade, all things are overthrown, and heaven and earth perish.

As the lingering power dissipated, Mizukiyo looked down at the figure beneath the crumbling world.

Although this strike was extremely powerful, it was far from enough to kill Otsutsuki Hamura directly.

Unlike Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who 'dispersed all his power' by taking the Ten-Tails out of his body and then cultivating it anew in an attempt to devour the chakra of the world, Hamura's strength had been accumulating for a thousand years and had long since reached its peak.

His fighting strength is comparable to that of the Ten-Tails Obito!

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a slightly disheveled figure emerged from the dust. Mizuki Yoru raised his hand, and behind him appeared the dazzling light of countless Sacred Annihilation Arrows, like a storm of stars falling from the sky, bombarding Hamura below.

The violent spiritual energy bombarded this already ravaged world, and the continuous bombardment compressed the air, causing strange distortions that could be seen with the naked eye, and the entire world was completely torn apart.

The place where Hamura was located was completely shattered by the impact of spiritual energy, revealing the void spatial patterns.

"May your wish be fulfilled!"

An invisible repulsive barrier, combined with Truth-Seeking Balls, blocked the torrential attack. Even though everything around him—the earth and space—was shattered beyond recognition by the raging torrent of spiritual particles, the place where Hamura stood was preserved.

However, this turtle-like style was clearly not the way to win. While using repulsive force and Truth-Seeking Balls to block the attacks one after another, Hamura's expression hardened. The moment the two spiritual energy arrows fell, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Mizuki Yoru in an instant.

The seemingly slender hand suddenly fell towards Mizuki Yoru's chest, and the intensity it unleashed even surpassed the previous Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

Yagogami air attack!

Shaking the heavens with immortal techniques, a fist that combines offense and defense, showing no mercy!

The power of this attack was no less than that of Kaguya's attack back then! A thousand years of accumulation had allowed Otsutsuki Hamura to grow to a level comparable to his mother!

But a pity.

"Snapped!"

Just as a blow powerful enough to shatter everything was about to land on Mizuki Yoru, a hand suddenly grabbed Otsutsuki Hamura's wrist.

The unstoppable offensive came to an abrupt halt, and Mizuki Yoru's calm voice rang softly in Hamura's ears.

"I have seen everything, Hamura. I can already see your death reflected in my eyes."

"Buzz!"

Hamura instinctively tried to struggle, but in that instant, a terrifying suction force burst forth from Mizuki Yoru's palm, and Hamura suddenly felt as if the power within his body was being released like a flood, constantly flowing away.

Sensing the abnormality within his body, Hamura's expression changed slightly. Without the slightest hesitation, a golden light appeared on his left hand, severing the right arm that was being held by Mizuki Yoru. He then quickly retreated, his eyes grave.

"That's really decisive."

Mizuki Yoru snorted softly, and the arm of Hamura that he was holding twisted and disappeared in a short while, completely swallowed up.

Upon reaching the Six Paths Realm, biological characteristics completely disappear, transforming one into a pure energy life form, and the Otsutsuki clan is born with this constitution.

Hamura Otsutsuki was a being born from Kaguya Otsutsuki. Although he was a native of the ninja world, he was also a chakra life form. For Yoru Minazuki, this special life form was the best supplement.

"You bastard..." Otsutsuki Hamura's seemingly unchanging expression finally changed at this moment. He suddenly realized that Mizuki Yoru had not 'defeated' the Ten-Tails Obito and their mother, but had 'devoured' it!

Although this guy was born in the ninja world, his essence is no different from that of the 'Otsutsuki' who devours planets in the universe!

We are all hunters, and we are all prey.

"Although I don't know what methods that old guy used to block my senses, leaving you here alone was definitely a mistake." Mizuki Yoru clenched his fist, and Hamura's chakra was absorbed into his body, circulating and becoming his own.

Hamura Otsutsuki's expression darkened slightly as he circulated his chakra, rapidly healing the injury to his severed arm.

The golden sword materialized once more, but a faint smile appeared on Mizuki Yoru's lips.

"The power of the Tenseigan... is used like this, right?"

As Mizuki Yoru gripped the black blade, a faint golden hue appeared in his palm, spreading across the blade and instantly transforming the originally jet-black blade into a dark gold color, its chilling aura surging once more.

By absorbing and transforming power, Hamura Otsutsuki has discovered the eye technique contained within the palm of Yoru Minazuki.

That is why he became increasingly wary of Mizuki Yoru.

This ability is clearly an enhanced version of the Absorption Jutsu Sealing Technique. For the Otsutsuki clan, who have already completed their evolution, the Absorption Jutsu Sealing Technique is as basic as eating and drinking. However, in battles of the same level, this skill has very little effect.

The reason is simple: although the Absorption Technique Seal can absorb various energy bodies, its effectiveness is greatly reduced when facing energy of the same level, such as chakra incorporating Yin-Yang Release or Sage Chakra. It is even helpless against techniques such as Ninjutsu and Taijutsu or Divine Technique.

However, the eye technique that Minazuki Yoru was displaying at this moment was completely different from this.

The battle between energy entities is a contest of energy intensity, and at this moment, Minazuki Yoru's intensity is above that of Otsutsuki Hamura!

……

A massive black lightning dragon, approximately a hundred feet long, roared out with an almost indescribable, terrifying speed, hurtling towards Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"Well done!"

After a long and fierce battle, Yu Yi roared, and his immense immortal power surged even more wildly. The nine Truth-Seeking Balls floated behind him and in front of him, quickly condensing into huge vortexes that resembled black holes.

The immortal's staff landed heavily in the void, and with a wave of his hand, an extremely terrifying suction force burst forth from those black vortexes.

Faced with this overwhelming lightning attribute source, Hagoromo Otsutsuki actually wanted to devour it directly!

Seeing Hagoromo Otsutsuki's actions, the black thunder dragon became even more enraged, and its momentum increased rather than decreased as it charged forward, actually slamming its head directly into the Truth-Seeking Ball vortex created by Hagoromo.

The next moment, the black lightning dragon, as if sealed by a tailed beast, suddenly merged into Hagoromo Otsutsuki's body.

Strands of jet-black lightning pulsed across the surface of Yu Yi's body, completely enveloping her form.

As these arcs of electricity appeared, the silver lightning that had been constantly striking Yu Yi stopped and hovered around her with some confusion, not daring to make a move.

The creature they had initially regarded as an intruder suddenly possessed the aura of their king. This enormous change was clearly an overclock for these thunderbolts.

Amidst the arc of lightning, Yu Yi maintained a solemn expression, steadying her mind.

He continuously suppressed the extremely destructive lightning-attribute natural source within his body.

To directly absorb such violent power into one's body would be tantamount to suicide for anyone, but Hagoromo Otsutsuki did just that.

The violent lightning power began to circulate wildly the moment it entered Hagoromo Otsutsuki's body, ravaging his flesh. Even with the suppression of Sage power, it could not stop this violent power.

But before long, this violent lightning-attribute natural source calmed down on its own.

"Humph."
