Facing the siege of the Otsutsuki, Ryun wielded the Susano'o's divine weapon, confronting the four divine beings head-on, while ten tails danced the Truth-Seeking Black Swords imperviously, defending against the attacks of the remaining Otsutsuki.
These seemingly slender ten-tailed palms contained the terrifying brute force of the Ten-Tails in every swing. One Otsutsuki, due to a moment of carelessness, tried to block the Truth-Seeking Black Sword with his black rod, and in the next second, his entire body, along with the black rod, was cleaved in two on the spot!
"Everyone, be careful, try not to take them head-on!" Otsutsuki Karashi commanded loudly.
Seeing a companion cleaved alive, the gathered Otsutsuki were all startled. In that moment, they each feared for their own safety, and no longer held onto the idea that superior numbers guaranteed an advantage!
Ryun at this moment seemed to transform into a tentacled monster, fighting multiple Otsutsuki single-handedly yet not falling behind in the slightest. His sheer brute force combined with the sharp divine weapon perfectly illustrated what it meant to be an irresistible force!
Seeing that they couldn't subdue Ryun after a prolonged battle, a sense of desperate hope arose in Otsutsuki Karura's heart. In the next moment, he abruptly opened his eyes and activated his gravity ocular technique.
Boom!!!
The ground where Ryun stood suddenly caved in, and even the ten palms smashed into the earth in an instant.
At the very moment Otsutsuki Karura activated his ocular technique, the light of Eternal Daylight also invaded his eyes, piercing his consciousness and spirit until they were riddled with holes!
Otsutsuki Karura grunted, clutching his bleeding eyes as he staggered backward.
However, there was no time for anyone to care about his injuries now. Everyone seized the moment Ryun was suppressed by gravity to launch their attacks. Countless blades, spears, swords, halberds, and black rods all landed on his body!
Unfortunately, most of the attacks were blocked by a layer of incredibly hard, dense black armor. It was the suddenly expanded armor of the Susano'o!
Although the blade of Otsutsuki Karashi and the fire sword of Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi managed to break through the armor's defense and wound Ryun's body, and the spear in Otsutsuki Mitoshi's hand even accurately pierced Ryun's heart, such attacks were not fatal to him!
The moment everyone's attacks ceased, the power of the Susano'o erupted fully. In the blink of an eye, a black-armored deity about a hundred meters tall forcefully pushed back all those participating in the siege and let out a heaven-shaking, terrifying roar toward the sky.
The roar contained Ryun's fury, and berserk senjutsu chakra continuously erupted from the deity's body, instantly causing the heavens and earth to change color and the mountains to tremble incessantly!
"Fire Deity. Kagutsuchi!"
Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi opened his mouth and spat out divine fire. The instant the flames appeared, they transformed into a fire giant about a hundred meters tall.
The black and red giants, wielding divine weapons, collided head-on. The terrifying force of their clash stirred up a fierce storm that blew away the nearby spectators.
While the two giants were locked in confrontation, the Otsutsuki capable of using gigantification abilities also joined the fray. Rock giants, earth giants, and wood giants rose from the ground one after another and quickly joined the siege against the black-armored deity.
Facing the siege of numerous giants, the black-armored deity remained ferocious. Apart from the fire deity, which could confront the black-armored deity head-on, the other giants shattered almost upon contact with the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword. Two unfortunate Otsutsuki had already perished along with their giants, their bodies obliterated by the deity's sword!
Every sword energy slash from the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword plowed deep ravines into the ground. Otsutsuki Mitoshi body-flickered to Otsutsuki Karura's side and carried him away from the chaotic battlefield.
"Uncle Karura, your eyes..."
Sensing that both of Otsutsuki Karura's eyes were bleeding, Otsutsuki Mitoshi couldn't help but ask.
The cost of unleashing an ocular technique against that man seemed a bit too high...
"That guy's right eye can directly attack the spirit, it's no longer as simple as genjutsu... Unless you are sure of a one-hit kill, using ocular techniques on him carries too great a risk!" Otsutsuki Karura reminded him with a pained expression.
"Isn't this guy just too strong? I just stabbed his heart with my spear, but now he's acting completely unscathed..." Sensing the fierce black-armored deity, Otsutsuki Mitoshi couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
"This human is simply not Zeroshiki. Zeroshiki and his son could never defeat an opponent like this!" Otsutsuki Karura said through gritted teeth.
"It's meaningless to say that now. We should be thinking about how to defeat him, or kill him!" Otsutsuki Mitoshi said with a gloomy face.
"You're right..." Otsutsuki Karura raised his arm to wipe the bloody tears from his face, forcing himself to prepare to fight again.
"Can you really not use your time ability anymore? If you could coordinate with me, perhaps the two of us could deliver a fatal blow..."
Otsutsuki Karura knew the power of time abilities.
"Wait a little longer... I need to recover a bit more..." Otsutsuki Mitoshi said, stuffing a large handful of pills into his mouth.
Seeing this, Otsutsuki Karura was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly followed suit by taking chakra pills. Unfortunately, spiritual damage couldn't be healed by chakra pills, and his headache and dizziness persisted.
"Instant Void Slash!"
While the black-armored deity was entangled with the other giants, Otsutsuki Karashi seized the opportunity to teleport to the forehead of the black-armored deity and slashed at Ryun, who was inside the crystal.
The divine blade cutting through the Susano'o crystal produced an extremely ear-piercing, shrill sound. Ryun's position was the hardest part of the Susano'o. His Susano'o was not an ordinary complete-body Susano'o. In terms of hardness alone, it was much stronger than an ultimate-body Susano'o.
Although Otsutsuki Karashi's divine blade could break through the defense, the force was at its limit by the time it reached Ryun!
"Fast enough, but the power is merely so-so!"
Ryun coldly gave his evaluation. As he spoke, a powerful lightning attribute chakra quietly gathered in his throat. The next second, he spat a bolt of wrathful lightning at Otsutsuki Karashi's head.
The lightning discharge was extremely fast, so fast that Otsutsuki Karashi had no chance to use his 'Karma' ability to absorb it. His figure vanished in an instant, once again using his spatial ability to evade the lightning strike.
"This flea... I must find a way to restrict his spatial ability. Otherwise, relying on spatial speed, he comes and goes as he pleases, making it difficult to even wound him..."
While he was distracted dealing with Otsutsuki Karashi, the fire giant, with the help of the other giants, seized the opportunity and severed the sword-wielding arm of the Susano'o deity.
However, before Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi could feel smug, he saw the Susano'o deity take a hit from the rock giant on its back. The black-armored deity's remaining fist with full force slammed into the chest of the fire giant. This punch instantly created a huge hole in its chest.
"Transform!"
Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi clapped his hands together and shouted. The next moment, the fire giant transformed back into a state of divine fire, and along the Susano'o's arm directly burned upward!
The divine fire was like maggots in the bone. In almost the blink of an eye, it spread over the entire body of the Susano'o deity. Ryun could not stop the burning of the divine fire, whether he erupted with sage power or Rinnegan ocular power. Instead, it caused those divine flames to violently flare up!
"Damn it!"
The ultimate high-temperature divine fire instantly incinerated Ryun's Susano'o deity, completely trapping him within. Moreover, the terrifying temperature was rapidly soaring, severely distorting the space where Ryun was located.
At this moment, even the anti-flight domain couldn't block the high-temperature incineration, because Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi decisively opened his eyes the moment Ryun was engulfed by the divine fire!
