Chapter 461 The Death of Otsutsuki Shingen

"We can't let them join forces!"

Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes narrowed, instantly discerning the intentions of the Otsutsuki higher-ups.

Although the encirclement of the shadow clones remained tight, it had begun to show signs of loosening under the combined attack of the five high-ranking members, and Otsutsuki Shingen's face revealed a hope of surviving the ordeal.

At this crucial moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was standing beside him, made a move.

Her silvery-white eyes suddenly lit up, and her white robes fluttered in the energy currents: "Heavenly Ruler!"

An invisible spatial fluctuation spread out from her fingertip, and wherever it passed, space began to distort and fold. Ōtsutsuki Shingen's spiritual domain was firmly locked by this spatial power.

"It's spatial magic! Oh no!"

He tried to use his mental power to break free, but found that the spatial power was like a leech, having already penetrated every corner of his mental realm, making it impossible to get rid of.

"Buzz..."

A slight spatial tremor resounded, and Ōtsutsuki Shingen, along with his spiritual domain and the hundreds of shadow clones surrounding the core, were instantly swallowed up by the distorted space.

Only a swirling spatial vortex remained in place, vanishing in an instant as if nothing had ever existed in that area.

The five high-ranking officials, who were advancing, failed in their attack and stopped in their tracks, their faces extremely grim.

They could clearly sense that Otsutsuki Shingen had been transferred to an unknown space.

"It's Amanori Minaka! She can actually control spatial magic of this level!"

As a space-type ability user, Otsutsuki Kugen knew the terror of this move best, and roared in shock and anger.

Ten no Michū can forcibly transfer a portion of space to a special space created by the caster. Once inside, one will fall under the absolute control of the caster, and outsiders will be unable to interfere or provide support.

On the other side, the transferred Otsutsuki Shingen and his shadow clone fell into a dark, special space.

There is no sky or ground here, only endless chaotic mist, mixed with sharp fragments of space. The spiritual realm is greatly suppressed here, and its light is dimmed by more than half.

Just as Otsutsuki Shingen regained his footing, he saw a figure slowly emerge from the chaotic mist... It was the true form of the Uchiha Sanfeng.

"You actually came in yourself. So this really was a conspiracy against me?"

Ōtsutsuki Shingen's pupils contracted, and a deeper fear welled up in his heart.

He could sense that the rules of this special space were entirely controlled by Kaguya, while the Uchiha Three Peaks were unhindered and could even amplify their strength by utilizing the spatial rules. In contrast, his own mental power was suppressed by the spatial rules, and he couldn't even unleash 60% of his peak strength.

"No one can save you here."

Uchiha Mitsunori spoke indifferently, his golden nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan bursting forth with light.

"You've used quite a few mental spells before. I want you to experience their power for yourself and see how well I can use them."

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at Shen Xuan. A pale purple chakra surged from his fingertips, which was the copied "Divine Art: Mind Impact"!

Ōtsutsuki Shingen's pupils contracted sharply. Without thinking, he instinctively activated his mental power: "Divine Art: Mental Impact!"

A similar pale purple energy beam shot out from his fingertip, and the two identical beams collided in mid-air.

With a muffled "bang," the two energy beams exploded simultaneously, and purple energy shockwaves spread outwards.

But before Ōtsutsuki Shingen could even catch his breath, he felt an even stronger mental pressure coming at him.

Uchiha Mitsumine's figure closed in instantly, unleashing a palm strike: "Divine Technique: Mental Barrier!"

Several purple light walls instantly appeared around Ōtsutsuki Shingen, trapping him firmly. The thickness and energy concentration of the light walls were even three times stronger than when he used his full strength!

"Impossible! How could you use my divine magic so powerfully?"

Ōtsutsuki Shingen was both shocked and furious, and immediately retaliated: "Divine Art: Mental Barrier!"

A purple light wall rose in front of him, blocking the attack in the same way, while he shouted sharply, "Divine Art: Mind Storm!"

Amidst the chaotic mist, a purple energy vortex also surged forth in front of him, sweeping towards the opponent.

Uchiha Mitsunori merely glanced at them coldly, simultaneously uttering a low shout: "Divine Art: Mind Storm!"

A larger, faster-rotating purple vortex suddenly formed, like a giant whale swallowing a small fish, instantly engulfing Shen Xuan's vortex, and then relentlessly crushing towards him.

"puff......"

Otsutsuki Shingen was backfired by his own divine technique. His chest felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence. He staggered and crashed into the mental barrier behind him.

A sudden, terrifying thought flashed through his mind: "It was you! You've been hiding your true abilities all along!"

He finally understood why his opponent's shadow clone could still keep up with his strength even after he unleashed his full power, and why his opponent wasn't in a hurry to kill him.

"You deliberately used shadow clones to wear me down, forcing me to use my trump card, all to steal my divine technique!"

"Not too slow reaction time, Divine Art: Eye of Fear!"

Countless distorted and terrifying illusions surged from his eyes, more realistic and oppressive than when Ōtsutsuki Shingen unleashed them.

Otsutsuki Shingen was already suffering from the backlash of his spiritual power, and his mind was in turmoil. Faced with this wave of illusions, he instantly fell into extreme fear, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his defensive rhythm was completely disrupted.

"No! This is a divine technique I invented; you can't possibly be stronger than me!"

Despite his fear, Otsutsuki Shingen forced himself to calm down and used all his remaining mental energy to try to retaliate with the same "Divine Art: Fearful Eyes".

But as soon as his illusion appeared, it was completely suppressed and torn apart by the illusion of Uchiha Mitsumine.

He then realized with despair that the spiritual magic he relied on for survival had become a weapon to kill him in the hands of his opponent, and that the power of each move far exceeded his own.

Uchiha Mitsumine instantly appeared in front of him, a black, flowing longsword covered in the power of space and time materializing in his hand.

"Pfft..."

The sharp black longsword easily severed Otsutsuki Shingen's head.

The purple light in Otsutsuki Shingen's eyes quickly dimmed, and his crazed expression was replaced by utter despair.

He stared at the fallen body, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, wanting to say something but unable to utter a sound.

Uchiha Sanfeng did not stop; he used the Soul-Hooking Chains to forcibly pull out Otsutsuki Shingen's soul.

The spirit form of Otsutsuki Shingen let out a mournful wail, but was firmly bound by the soul-snatching chains and could not break free.

"Uchiha Mitsunaka! How dare you treat me like this! The Otsutsuki clan will not let you get away with this!"

"Rest in peace. The Otsutsuki clan will soon cease to exist."

With an expressionless face, Uchiha Sanfeng manipulated the Soul-Hooking Chains, dragging Shenxuan's soul, and turned to walk towards the spatial passage of the Ancestral Star Underworld.

Then, he threw Otsutsuki Shingen's soul into the underworld.

"Otsutsuki Shingen, you should stay in the underworld and receive your punishment."

In the underworld on the other side of the rift, the pitch-black millstone of the netherworld was already slowly turning.

As soon as Otsutsuki Shingen's soul was thrown into the millstone's area, it was sucked into it by a tremendous suction force.

"No......!!!"

A piercing scream pierced through the spatial rift, but was quickly drowned out by the creaking sound of the millstone turning.

Pale purple spiritual energy seeped from the millstone like flowing water, and was collected by Uchiha Sanfeng with a wave of his hand.

These purified spiritual energies were one of his targets in this attempt to kill Shen Xuan.

After dealing with Shenxuan's soul, Uchiha Sanfeng pointed at the void and instantly returned to the battlefield of the Otsutsuki Shrine.

"Sanfeng, it seems you've already dealt with Otsutsuki Gen."

Kaguya Otsutsuki stood beside the three peaks, seemingly cheering for the victory as well.

She was quite wary of Otsutsuki Shingen's mental control just now. After all, the Uchiha's mental skills were indeed somewhat clumsy in front of the Otsutsuki who had lived for thousands of years. Now that Shingen had fallen, it was undoubtedly a great trouble gone.

"No rush, there are still five more here!"

Uchiha Mitsunori's voice was steady and powerful, like striking a rock.

His gaze swept over the five high-ranking officials who were still resisting outside the hall, his eyes lingering on each of them for a moment.

"Next, it's Otsutsuki Ikijin's turn."

His life-saving magic is too troublesome; if it's not eliminated as soon as possible, the subsequent battles will become even more difficult.

Upon seeing the three peaks of the Uchiha clan return safely, the five men froze, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"This man is back. Does that mean Otsutsuki Shingen has already died in battle?"

The words had barely left his lips when a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, erupted, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently and the pebbles on the ground to jostle: "You dared to kill Shen Xuan! I will make you pay the price! I will plunder all your life force and annihilate your souls!"

The voice, filled with a frenzied killing intent, came from Otsutsuki Ikujin.

"Opening of the Realm of Life"

Otsutsuki Ikujin went completely mad, constantly drawing life force from his own alternate dimension.

As life force continued to flow in, his body visibly swelled, his muscles bulged like protruding rocks, and the veins under his skin bulged like wriggling earthworms.

His eyes turned bloodshot, filled with a frenzied killing intent, and his aura grew increasingly terrifying, like a ferocious beast out of control.

Uchiha Mitsumine clapped his hands together, summoning thousands of Six Paths Shadow Clones once again.

The shadow clones charged forward, gathering chakra as they went, and surged toward Otsutsuki Sōjin, who was in a frenzy.

A new round of fierce battle has begun.

Having witnessed the battle just now, Kaguya Otsutsuki understood the pressure faced by the Uchiha Mitsurugi and wanted to share some of the responsibility with him.

"This time, let me join the battle. My All-Killing Ash Bones can inflict great damage on him."

Seeing her determined gaze, Uchiha Mitsunori remained silent for a moment, then used the Divine Art Ten Directions to check the future and confirmed that there was no danger.

"Okay, Kaguya, be careful. When Otsutsuki Ikujin goes crazy, his IQ will drop. You just need to buy me some time."
