Chapter 303: New Trait · Calamity Yin Spirit (3K)
"Brother Wu Xin, can I really become someone greater than the Hokage here?"
The blond teenager in the orange jacket and goggles looked a bit hopeful. The panic on his face had gradually faded. The enormous Golden Tree above his head and the space that could conjure various things at any time made Naruto Uzumaki feel curious.
Wu Xin smiled gently. He felt sympathy for this teenager who was forcibly brought out by the Will of Heaven. He vaguely guessed the Will of Heaven's plan, so whether it was guilt or hypocrisy, he wanted to give the teenager as much warmth as possible in this final period of time.
In the exquisite wooden building, the Will of Heaven leaned on the sofa, drinking tea, looking leisurely. Wu Shang, leaning by the window, watched Wu Xin teasing Naruto Uzumaki under a distant tree and said,
"Aren't you a bit too eager towards Tao Bai Bai?"
"Even if he's that kind of monster, we can still avoid him, can't we?"
He acknowledged Tao Bai Bai's strength and potential, but he didn't think the three of them needed to be so "obsequious," especially the Will of Heaven. In Wu Shang's opinion, the Will of Heaven was a formidable individual who would not be inferior to any Reincarnator.
He was someone who would eventually become a big shot in the space.
This was also the reason Wu Shang was wholeheartedly staying with this team.
As for the past experiences of being cultivated together and the life-and-death bond, those things probably only bound naive people like Wu Xin. What he valued was the Will of Heaven's ability.
In her previous interactions with Tao Bai Bai, the Will of Heaven had shared a lot of information they had obtained at a considerable cost. That information would be worth a lot of resources at a space broker's.
But the Will of Heaven had told Tao Bai Bai everything in detail, from the anchoring advancement of talents to the Goddess's hidden services, and even various secret rumors. This kind of thing made him unable to understand.
Moreover, he looked at the blond teenager, recalling the Black King Society's secrets that the Will of Heaven had been following, and he already knew the woman's terrifying plan.
"Giving out information that the other party will eventually know, and getting a familiar face in front of a monster that hasn't fully grown yet, I think this is a good investment."
The Will of Heaven put down her teacup. With a thought, soothing music began to play around her. Her ability was powerful, but it also placed a high burden on her brain. Outside of the mission world, she needed a lot of time to clear her mind and relax her nerves.
Wu Shang frowned. He only believed half of this explanation. He felt that the Will of Heaven must have seen something through that special talent.
"You spent so many resources to bring Naruto Uzumaki out, are you trying to... create an artificial Black King?!"
"Isn't that too risky? Those top assemblies won't want to see a new Black King emerge. Just us, I'm afraid..."
The Will of Heaven lay on the sofa, as if she couldn't hear Wu Shang's words. Her face held a smile that only she herself could understand.
In this space, as long as one has resources and enough time to gather information, one can notice the details hidden beneath everything, the details of how those Supreme Experts and kings operate...

[Do you want to spend 1 b-class special point for an enlightenment?]
"Yes"
The negative effects of [Underworld Erosion] and [Killing Intent Infusion] that Bai Cangshu's physique suffered were finally completely dispelled. As the controller of the Underworld, he unexpectedly gained resistance to instant death.
He performed enlightenment again.
The Goddess was quite satisfied with Bai Cangshu's generous spending of singularity points today. She proactively raised her hand, and Bai Cangshu's body floated upwards.
The Underworld within his body rapidly vibrated, and the Yin Spirits hidden within Bai Cangshu immediately felt the change.
Gojo Satoru looked up and found that the boundaries of the pure white consciousness space began to blur. A vast and magnificent power was trying to break through the shackles from the outside.
Uchiha Madara also stood up, coldly watching the howling Yin Spirits around him.
These creatures, lacking intelligence due to their weakness, actually occupied most of the "spirits" in this space due to their vast numbers.
At this moment, as if in response to the spatial changes, the weak Yin Spirits began to transform. They gathered together, twisting like black great snakes, clinging to each other, and the black spiritual bodies slowly began to merge.
There were also some slightly larger individuals standing in the Underworld, whose forms began to change. Some elongated, losing their human appearance, transforming into Cursed Spirits, while others emitted terrifying resentment and turned into Grudge Spirits.
The distant Shinigami also continuously roamed in the air, beginning to swallow large numbers of Yin Spirits into its belly, and its size grew larger and larger.
All [Spirits] possessed special perception abilities. That kind of special spiritual sense, independent of any sensory organs, was a completely transcendental premonition. They all sensed change and crisis.
The true master of this space was reviving, truly bringing the entire space under his control.
Bai Cangshu floated in the palm of the Goddess, strong soul power emanating from his body. His eyes glowed with a silver luster. With his soul extremely condensed, his entire presence was incredibly strong.
It would even begin to suppress the existence of the souls of weaker creatures.
Crack!
Bai Cangshu seemed to hear something breaking in his ears.
Then a large amount of soul power surged forth, and he instantly felt a cold power flowing out of his sea of consciousness.
One twisted black shadow after another once again circulated on Bai Cangshu's body.
These were Yin Spirits that successfully emerged from the consciousness world, but they were completely unable to seize the Heart's Throne. Instead, they were squeezed onto Bai Cangshu's body.
Bai Cangshu watched the souls constantly moving on his body. With a thought, his strongly solidified soul began to dominate these souls.
Along with the damage appearing in the pure white consciousness space, the Underworld had not yet flowed out, but the true power of this bloodline had already begun to emerge.
Bai Cangshu spread his hands, his entire Mental state solidified as one. In the consciousness space, Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara both showed surprise. They saw the man who should have been sitting like a statue on the Heart's Throne actually open his eyes and spread his hands at the same time.
The next moment, intense pressure descended.
Boom!
The Goddess looked at the interesting Reincarnator in her palm, who had finally completed his refinement, and cast him down.
One by one, the black shadows on Bai Cangshu's body slowly descended, finally emerging from the soles of his feet and extending onto the White Jade Plaza.
A dark shadow appeared beneath Bai Cangshu, followed by a second, and a third, like a circular array radiating outwards, centered on the soles of Bai Cangshu's feet, extending in all directions.
This White Jade Plaza had no concept of [light source]. Bai Cangshu had never seen shadows here before, neither his own nor the enormous Goddess's. No shadows appeared.
But now, he had a shadow.
He looked at the shadows beneath his feet. With a thought, one of them slowly stood up.
The dark, twisted Yin Spirit was over six meters tall, with a slender body. Although humanoid, its proportions gave off a terrifying sense of disharmony.
As soon as this Yin Spirit rose from the shadow, a terrifying malice appeared on its black face, and then it opened its mouth, letting out a silent scream.
Bang!
The Goddess withdrew her gaze in disgust. With just a thought, the Yin Spirit shattered.
"Noisy."
[You have completed the enlightenment, with excellent results.]
[You have gained the trait · Calamity Yin Spirit (Special · Unique) — The master of the Myriad Tribulation Yin Spirit Underworld Body can summon Yin Spirits from within his body and freely control their actions in the human world. Yin Spirits can gain host attribute bonuses. At the same time, Yin Spirits can also provide special ability bonuses to the host. The number of Calamity Yin Spirits summoned and their quality are related to the host's ability.]
Bai Cangshu saw that this trait was not marked as extremely rare, but as [Special · Unique], realizing that this was probably one of the fundamental traits of this Myriad Tribulation Yin Spirit Underworld Body.
This special physique, through multiple refinements and enlightenments, finally began to reveal the unique aspects of a mythical-grade physique.
He could not only contain souls but also completely control these Yin Spirits. Now, he could even awaken Yin Spirits to fight for him.
He could now simultaneously see two scenes before his eyes: one was naturally the scene on the White Jade Plaza, and the other was in the vast white consciousness space, where the Underworld boiled, and he sat on the high Heart's Throne, overlooking countless howling Yin Spirits below.
As he spread his hands, the Yin Spirits were suppressed by a terrifying soul power, their spiritual bodies bowing low, as if he were the Son of Heaven ruling the Yin Spirit world.
Puff, puff, puff~
Along with this terrifying pressure, the souls swallowed by Shinigami were spit out one by one. Not only the Yin Spirits of this space, but also the souls it had swallowed in its original world were being expelled.
Minato Namikaze, with his golden hair, had just been squeezed out of Shinigami's belly when he felt a terrifying pressure. He instinctively fell into the Underworld, and only then did the pressure ease.
Minato Namikaze vigilantly watched the terrifying figure on the throne in the sky while glancing around with the corner of his eye.
The next moment, his expression changed. A long-haired man wearing the iconic Uchiha Clan battle armor also stood in the turbid water. Sensing his gaze, the man turned his head, his scarlet Sharingan incredibly prominent.
"Uchiha... What in the world is this...?"
No one answered Minato Namikaze. The next moment, the man on the throne lowered his hands and slowly closed his eyes, and the terrifying pressure in the space slowly disappeared.
The Yin Spirits howled again, wantonly attacking and devouring each other.
Under immense pressure, these Yin Spirits were forcing each other to undergo transformation again. Either devour other spiritual bodies or be devoured. Weak spirits would become nutrients for strong spiritual bodies.
They all felt that after the white space above them shattered, perhaps a terrifying [Calamity] would descend.
Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara also realized this trend. This space would not remain stable forever, and the Yin Spirits were not truly immortal here.
"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."
Gojo Satoru's eyelids drooped, and he pulled down his blindfold. Within his Six Eyes, the arrogance of "Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one" reappeared.
