"This is..."
Ling Technique stared in shock at the commotion Aomi had stirred.
The Array of Eight Gates, Baryon Mode, Kuramitsuha... multiple Kinjutsu pushing potential to the limit were unleashed within Aomi at this moment!
The towering pillar of Chakra illuminated everything, and the crimson radiation from Baryon Mode, due to its Chakra decomposition, dyed the Moon a scarlet hue.
"Is this really a level a mortal can achieve? He is still absorbing Natural Energy from this planet..."
Even with Ling Technique's Byakugan, he could not clearly observe Aomi's current state amidst the Chakra Aomi erupted with by repeatedly overdrawing his potential.
Because this Chakra was simply too vast and fierce!
Aomi was like he was in the center of a tsunami, with the great waves surrounding him concealing this core...
And though he couldn't directly see Aomi, Ling Technique's outstanding experience and skill still allowed him to keenly sense the anomaly within this energy storm — the planet's Natural Energy was being rapidly extracted by Aomi.
Sky, sea, land...
"This is a desperate gamble..." Ling Technique's gaze flickered:
"Is he walking the path of awakening the Gaia Consciousness? It seems Uchiha Aomi has indeed realized that. He has encompassed the consciousness of the planet's life forms within himself..."
"It's unfortunate that he can't achieve it."
"His existence on this planet is too brief. Two or three decades is like the blink of an eye to the planet. The Power of the Planet cannot be obtained without longevity plus immense fortune."
"And even if he obtained the Power of the Planet, I wouldn't care..."
Ling Technique glanced at Akeshiki, whose expression had turned unpleasant, and thought leisurely: "I'm not Akeshiki... The restrictive domain generated by the Gaia Consciousness is ineffective on me..."
"Keep it up, Uchiha Aomi. If you can kill Akeshiki, it saves me from having to fight him." As an onlooker, Ling Technique thought.
And as Aomi's current direct opponent.
Akeshiki stared intently at the erupting Chakra in front of him, a sliver of coldness inadvertently tracing his heart.
After cursing Aomi with Shiva's Dance, Akeshiki's power also increased as it extracted from Aomi as he continued to erupt, making it seem like everything was within his grasp.
But the problem is.
The speed at which the curse extracts from Aomi has its own rate...
If Aomi's rising speed within a short period is too ferocious, then even if Akeshiki can extract Aomi's power, the two power levels will still diverge after a while.
"That bastard, he really surpassed my power... Astonishing!" Akeshiki instantly retreated far away, desperately tearing open the space in front of him, fleeing frantically into the distance.
This is the situation Akeshiki feared the most.
Unlike other enemies, Aomi, who replicated Akeshiki's future-predicting Dojutsu, made his tactic of buying time ineffective, forcing a direct confrontation!
If during the time Aomi pulled ahead, they engaged in battle, he might really die!
For Akeshiki, the best strategy is to distance himself from Aomi by any means, dragging out the curse's duration... and Aomi in this self-destructive stance, even prolonging a second might lead to him burning out.
"Not so stubborn after all, old friend..." Ling Technique crossed his arms, critiquing Akeshiki's tactic.
"Recklessly igniting your power all at once isn't so easy to control..." Ling Technique shook his head, looking at the Chakra-surging Aomi.
Akeshiki was fleeing, Ling Technique was sharply commenting.
At this moment, Aomi wasn't moving because he was on his Path to Divinity!
"Indeed, there's a sense of Otsutsuki Shibai within this skeleton... Aomi's judgment is never wrong!" Kaguya clung tightly to Shibai's Skeleton, her white hair flowing like a frenzied witch, her Byakugan soaking in blood-red hue.
Otsutsuki Kaguya Baryon Mode!
Chakra split in a special form, breaking apart after tiny particles collided, releasing terrifying radiation that rapidly drained life force...
The Soul Engraving glowed with a ghostly light, fusing Aomi's name with Kaguya's body, as the viscous, crimson baryon mode Chakra continuously poured from within her!
This was the most seriously Kaguya had ever studied a Jutsu...
It was also proof of her rebellion after consuming the Chakra Fruit, constantly fearing the Otsutsuki Clan's retribution!
She no longer worried about her supposed home. Even if it were the gods of the Otsutsuki Clan, she would drown these damned beings in her boundless love for Aomi!
"My kin, accept my power..."
When Shibai's Skeleton touched Kaguya's palm, ancient, deep, and tempting words resounded like a grand bell in her mind.
Simple words, yet like an unavoidable command. If an ordinary Otsutsuki heard this, they might lose all reason and obey in the next moment.
The consciousness and power within Shibai's Skeleton wanted to flood into Kaguya's being...
But it couldn't achieve that!
Within the baryon mode, Kaguya had already become a shell. She transformed herself into fire, intending to thoroughly refine Otsutsuki Shibai's consciousness within Aomi's body, leaving only pure power inside him.
