Pfft!
Emerald green blood, like tree sap, splattered. Senju Tobirama, under Impure World Reincarnation, was completely mismatched. He gripped his long blade with both hands, instantly cleaving through space and piercing the body of Tianyi.
Seeing the green liquid, he turned his head. This was another clone.
This woman's cloning ability was even more bizarre than his elder brother Hashirama's Wood Clones; it was impossible to tell if it was the real body before shattering it.
This woman possessed a special Chakra. That aura was even purer than Senju Hashirama's Sage Art Chakra after he entered Sage Mode.
Senju Tobirama turned indifferently, looking once again at the back of the Golden Tree.
There, a giant Wood Golem stood towering in a forest of trees like an ancient jungle, and opposite him was a massive monster, its entire body like a black mist, with golden radiance flowing within it.
This monster was slender, taller than the Wood Golem, and moved strangely, every action exuding a terrifying oppressive force.
Seeing that his elder brother still hadn't sealed this thing, Senju Tobirama knew that it was probably more troublesome than an ordinary Tailed Beast.
Perhaps he should use that technique in conjunction with his elder brother to defeat this thing first, then go search for that woman's true body.
As he pondered, suddenly, an icy hand abruptly pierced through his chest from behind him.
His Impure World Reincarnation body shattered instantly.
Damn it!
Senju Tobirama's pupils trembled as he looked behind him, only to see that the woman, whose waist and abdomen he had pierced with his blade, had not shattered and disappeared like her other clones. Instead, she now stood behind him, her hand like a blade, piercing through his body.
Her hand was enveloped in intense natural energy, a power that made it difficult for the Impure World Reincarnation body to repair itself after being shattered.
He instantly understood this woman's battle plan.
She had actually disguised her true body as a clone and exploited his habit of expecting green blood when he shattered a clone, making him believe this one was also a clone.
This choice was akin to licking blood from a knife's edge. He was certain that this woman also couldn't perceive the speed of his Flying Thunder God Technique.
In other words, if his previous sword strike had hit a vital spot like the throat, the opponent could very well have been instantly killed by him!
Tianyi lowered her eyelids, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She was well aware that her frontal combat capability was insufficient. Although she was considered good among the 'Bing' rank, facing these two powerful Hokage in their Impure World Reincarnation state simultaneously had already exceeded her limits.
But...
The moment she withdrew her right hand, the intense natural energy instantly destroyed most of Senju Tobirama's body.
Tianyi exhaled a turbid breath. She rarely put herself in such a predicament, needing to engage in close-quarters combat herself. This was probably already the most failed scenario.
However, thinking of the terrifying appearance of Tao Bai Bai in the hundred or so timelines she had seen, she was very confident that this direction was already the most perfect choice.
Although she didn't understand what was so special about Tao Bai Bai, the fact that he could ultimately tear everything apart with brute force in various timelines, under her various choices and manipulations, was already something that couldn't be explained by mere strength.
Bang!
Natural energy exploded. Tianyi dropped a seed, and under the irrigation of natural energy, a Cannibal Flower four or five meters tall quickly grew, swallowing Senju Tobirama's remains.
She looked at the Clow Card: Mirror in her hand; its energy was almost exhausted. With only her incomplete copy of the Elden Beast, she couldn't completely defeat Senju Hashirama.
She watched the battle from afar. At this moment, stalling for time was in her favor.
Within the Golden Tree, both Children of the World were undergoing the baptism of the golden law. As long as at least one of them fully accepted the golden law, and then she forcibly took the other with shackles...
Then the storyline of this world would completely collapse, and her losses would be compensated. At that point, she could naturally withdraw from this world.
Whatever Tao Bai Bai chose to do afterward would have nothing to do with her.
Boom!
The ground exploded with a roar. A giant snake, nearly a hundred meters long, burst out from the earth, coiling around the Elden Beast. Senju Hashirama instantly brought his hands together.
Sage Art: Myojinmon!
Giant red torii gates fell from the sky, pressing the Elden Beast down.
And Senju Hashirama's movements didn't stop; intense Sage Art Chakra instantly gathered.
True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha!
A giant Buddha statue, a thousand meters tall, began to appear with a roar. That height was already close to the still-growing Golden Tree.
This was the power of the top-tier ninja who once suppressed an era.
Tianyi watched this scene, only able to look up. This was the embodiment of absolute individual power, a force she absolutely could not contend with in her normal state at this moment.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Countless massive fists fell from the sky, fiercely attacking the Elden Beast and the Root of the Golden Tree. Senju Hashirama seemed to intend to directly dismantle the Golden Tree.
That kind of attack caused the earth to constantly shake, making Konoha, ten kilometers away, feel as if it were at the epicenter.
The replicated illusion of the Elden Beast only lasted for a moment before shattering with a crack, and Tianyi's incredibly rare Clow Card: Mirror also dissipated from her hand.
At the same time, behind the Golden Tree, an incredibly massive white snake slowly emerged from underground. On either side of the white snake's head were long whiskers. Although it was a snake, its movements gave no sense of coldness; instead, it was very elegant.
This was completely different from the purplish-black great snake coiling around the Elden Beast. This white snake was probably over a thousand meters long, emerging from underground and coiling upwards from the back of the Golden Tree.
While Senju Hashirama was bombarding the Golden Tree with terrifying attacks, the golden radiance was completely concentrated on the front. Barrier after barrier lit up, then shattered one after another.
The White Snake, however, silently penetrated all the barriers. Its body was enveloped in an almost natural aura.
By the time Tianyi noticed it, this giant White Snake had already reached the top of the Golden Tree.
The branches and leaves at the top of the Golden Tree spread very far, almost covering several thousand meters of the sky, and they were still continuously extending outwards. Those golden light points constantly drifted into the distance; that was the blessing of the Golden Tree.
All creatures touched by the golden light points would receive that special power blessing and eventually convert to the golden law.
The White Snake Sage felt its scales squirming, shaking off the golden radiance. It would not accept this power.
At the top of the Golden Tree, the White Snake's mouth slowly opened, as if about to swallow the world.
This scene, in Tianyi's eyes, seemed to carry a symbolic meaning.
"The great snake devouring the Golden Tree… does this imply that my schemes in this world will ultimately fail…?"
In Norse mythology, the World Tree was eventually gnawed away by Níðhöggr, the Black Dragon, along with countless great snakes. Níðhöggr was also known as the World-Devouring Serpent.
Tianyi slowly took off her mask, then discarded it, and began to unbutton the top of her clothes.
"Facing this power, as expected, I can only head towards this outcome."
After Tianyi shed her upper garments, a seductive flower was outlined on her jade-like body.
The petals of that flower were flesh-colored, and the layers of petals were not merely outlined on Tianyi's chest; rather, her flesh had been corrupted through erosion, transforming into the shape of those petals.
Around the petals was a circle of mysterious incantations, a seal from the Infinite Dimensional Space.
At this moment, Tianyi pressed her hand against the seal on her chest.
"Seal… released."
The power of Scarlet Rot began to bloom, instantly emptying Tianyi's intense natural energy. The tree world beneath her feet, as well as the area she had cultivated with her natural energy and plant magic, also began to wither simultaneously.
All life was being corroded.
Hoo~
A strong wind howled, and a figure emerged from the wind. The other party's playful smile looked at Tianyi's bare upper body with great interest.
Strictly speaking, he was looking at the Scarlet Rot on her chest.
"Nice tattoo, I like it very much~"
A scorching hot finger instantly touched the sealed pattern of Scarlet Rot on her chest. The next moment, amidst Tao Bai Bai's cruel smile...
A golden Dong Dong Wave burst forth from her body.
Pfft!
Amidst spurting blood, this time, Tianyi finally bled hot, bright red blood, but very quickly, that blood also became putrid and foul-smelling.
Bai Cangshu's figure naturally fell backward, dissipating in the wind.
Boom!
The power of Scarlet Rot condensed into a gigantic flower, contracting on the ground.
Senju Hashirama sensed an incredibly evil and terrifying aura appear. He looked down at the demonic flower and extended hundreds of Buddha hands from his thousand-meter Buddha body, each hand engraved with the character 'Za'.
Kōan Nyūten Suishu!
He intended to try and seal this thing directly.
But before the Buddha hands could approach, the Scarlet Rot flower had already bloomed.
Devastating Scarlet Rot power was suddenly unleashed indiscriminately upon everything around it.
