Uchiha Sogetsu's pupils were a pale gold, as if ripples stirred within them, concealing countless mysterious symbols in their depths.
Thoughts in his island of consciousness churned like boiling water, quickly and rapidly drilling into Lu Mingze's consciousness, stirring up violent gusts of wind.
These winds carried his will, sweeping out in all directions.
In an instant, the sky above Lu Mingze's consciousness island darkened, with dark clouds gathering and thunder flashing.
In that mental sky, ominous signs appeared, reflecting an almost suffocating foreboding.
Roar!
A king, whose wings were covered in bones and exuded a savage and brutal aura, glared at the 'intruder' entering this domain with blazing golden eyes.
Though he had seized control of Lu Mingze's mind in the moment of his shock and terror, the inheritance imprinted deep in the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, engraved in his genes, instinctively resisted.
The creature, resembling the mythical dragons of Western legends, covered in pitch-black scales, with wings adorned with bones and a thick aura of death surrounding it, was fierce and majestic, both sacred and cruel, as if born to be an emperor.
This was the 'Black King' in the depths of Lu Mingze's consciousness!
In other words, this was the 'authority' of the Black King!
To take the Black King's authority, one must first defeat its projection. Only by battling to the death can one seize that supreme power.
This was very much like the Dragon Clan.
"Heh, as expected, it's not that simple."
The countless winds gathered and formed a hazy consciousness avatar.
Uchiha Sogetsu looked down from above, gazing at the black dragon. His brows slightly raised, and the corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.
"Black King Nidhogg, just right for me to test how much strength you, the emperor who created the Dragon Clan, truly have."
Since entering this world, he had never used his true power.
"I hope this will be enjoyable."
Uchiha Sogetsu's pupils vertically aligned, turning pale gold. This meant he would hold nothing back.
"Roar!"
It seemed like he heard his voice. With a roar, the Black Emperor shook the entire island.
His body, as perfect as a Greek statue, erupted with unmatched strength. His wings, covered in corpses, flapped, creating powerful gusts of wind that moved his massive form.
He shot upwards like a meteor dragging flames, breaking the sound barrier in an instant and charging directly toward the 'Blasphemer' in the sky.
"Too slow."
Uchiha Sogetsu spoke calmly, and layers of flames erupted around him.
The burning flames quickly condensed and formed into a giant skeleton, hundreds of meters tall, which then threw a powerful punch at the incoming Black King.
Boom!
Gold and black collided in a massive clash, like a meteor striking the Earth.
The terrifying roar almost ripped the sky apart. At the center of the explosion, a mushroom cloud shot up, and the overwhelming shockwave caused the entire island to groan under its pressure.
The void was torn apart by the roaring wind, leaving gaping cracks, and the shockwaves made the subconscious sea ripple.
Neither side budged an inch from the blow.
"Not enough. Let's go again!" Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes burned with battle intent. He controlled the Susanoo, pulling out a golden sword from the void and swinging it down.
The massive blade cut through the air with the force of a mountain crushing down.
A huge shadow covered the Black King beneath the sword, but he was the eternal emperor of the dragons. His perfect body exploded with unimaginable power.
The dragon's claws met the sword head-on.
Clang!
The black scales clashed with the sword, sending a sharp, metallic sound echoing through the air.
The Black King closed his claws, grinding his scales together, and gripped the sword, using his immense strength to pull the Susanoo down.
With the other claw, he ripped through the wind and slashed fiercely across the Susanoo's body, creating a shower of dazzling sparks.
Susanoo, the ninjutsu in the Naruto world known as the absolute defense, was shattered by the Black King through pure brute force.
"Heh, this is interesting!"
When Susanoo shattered, Uchiha Sogetsu didn't show any panic. Instead, his eyes revealed even more interest.
In an instant, his pupils became vertical, and his skin grew gray-white, like stone scales. He transformed into a 'mythical beast' form, clenching his fists fearlessly, engaging in combat with the Black King.
One gray, one black, two supreme beings dominating the world, like ancient beasts from the wild era, tangled in a fierce battle.
Thunderous explosions rang through the sky, and waves of air surged like tides, shaking the heavens!
Word Soul—King's Blaze!
The Black King threw his head back and exhaled a burst of fire.
Mind Breath!
Uchiha Sogetsu was unfazed, responding with a breath of his own.
The two forces collided across the sky, the terrifying sound of the shockwave echoed for a long time.
The wind howled, and the sound of the air explosion rocked the entire sky. The clouds were directly blasted away, and the two figures fighting separated briefly.
But the next moment, Uchiha Sogetsu flapped his wings, leaving a shadow in the sky.
Before the Black King could react, his terrifying dragon claws suddenly gathered blinding lightning and slammed into the Black King's chest.
Boom!
The thunderous explosion shattered the dark scales.
The Black King let out an angry roar, the temperature around him rising rapidly.
Flames of scorching red light burned in his hands, then slashed through the air like a sword of judgment, aiming at the gray-white giant dragon.
"Not enough. What I want to see is not this level of power, Black King Nidhogg!"
As he watched the fiery sword, Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he exhaled a breath of air.
Although the Spectator Pathway didn't focus on direct combat, from the beginning, he wasn't just a pure Spectator in the sequence!
Moreover, if he used the full power of the Spectator Pathway, destroying the Black King would be but a flick of the finger.
Word Soul—Indra!
Countless thunderbolts descended, and in the blinding destruction of lightning, they transformed into a blazing white spear.
Uchiha Sogetsu controlled the Susanoo, directly gripping the blazing white spear.
The aura around him surged violently, and the overwhelming energy spilled out, expanding the Susanoo's armor and filling it completely, releasing a terrifying force of destruction.
This technique was the peak state of Uchiha Sasuke in the Naruto world, combining the power of the Six Paths and the Tailed Beasts.
With Susanoo as the source of power, it unleashed a brief moment of power surpassing the Six Paths.
Now, it was naturally being borrowed by Uchiha Sogetsu.
