Chapter 458 Six Paths - Multiple Shadow Clone
The spacetime barrier of the Uchiha Three Peaks can redirect attacks.
The terrifying surge of energy just now spread wildly in all directions like a shockwave.
The surrounding Otsutsuki clan members were instantly affected, and their shrill screams pierced the sky.
"Snap... Pfft..."
The sounds of bones shattering and blood splattering echoed throughout the area, and many members of the Otsutsuki clan were either killed or knocked away.
The numerous corpses and weapons scattered around, the chaotic sounds of metal clashing, and the groans of dying tribesmen all contributed to the extreme brutality of the battlefield.
The six high-ranking members of the Otsutsuki clan looked at the miserable state of their people and felt somewhat displeased, muttering under their breath: "Useless!"
"call……"
Uchiha Mitsunori lowered his eyes slightly, swallowing a breath of stale air as his Adam's apple bobbed.
This golden spacetime barrier, seemingly easily deflecting the attack, actually disintegrated the energy of the six high-ranking members' attacks into countless strands, and then forcibly redirected them using spacetime techniques. This would consume a large amount of chakra and mental energy.
His gentle gaze fell on Kaguya's face, as if he were saying something perfectly ordinary: "The outer mobs have been mostly cleared out. Next, I should deal with those six old monsters."
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's silvery-white pupils were fixed on the hellish scene outside the hall, and even her arms were slightly tense.
The combined attack from the six high-ranking officials had created a devastating sense of oppression, leaving her still shaken. She had even prepared herself to die alongside them.
Seeing that the three peaks could kill a large number of Otsutsuki clansmen with just a spacetime barrier, he was also very shocked.
"Mitsubone, your chakra..."
"It's alright, this will be enough for the battle ahead."
Uchiha Sanfeng shook his head slightly, and the spacetime barrier dissipated, revealing the gloomy faces of the six high-ranking officials outside the hall.
He clapped his hands: "Six Paths - Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Countless plumes of thick white smoke exploded, and thousands of Uchiha Sanfeng, dressed in black, appeared in the surrounding air.
These are not ordinary shadow clones; they have inherited some of the core abilities of the Three Peaks.
Before the six high-ranking Otsutsuki could react, some of their shadow clones rose into the air as if the wind was blowing from their feet, hovering in mid-air and quickly converging into black Truth-Seeking Balls.
The remaining shadow clones were arranged in a neat and uniform charging formation, like a well-trained and iron-blooded army, capable of unleashing thousands of different ninjutsu at any time.
The floating shadow clone launched the first attack, sending thousands of Truth-Seeking Balls hurtling out like cannonballs.
Uchiha Mitsunaga's true form stood beside Kaguya, conjuring a shield of light to firmly protect her behind him.
"We'll just watch. These shadow clones will first exhaust their stamina and chakra, while searching for their weaknesses. We'll strike when the opportunity arises."
Kaguya Otsutsuki watched as thousands of shadow clones clashed with the Otsutsuki high command, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
She nodded firmly, calming herself down: "I understand. If I have the chance, I'd like to go up and fight too."
She didn't want to be just the one being protected. As a member of the Otsutsuki clan, she also had the power to fight alongside them. Moreover, this battle was closely related to her, and she had no reason to hide behind.
"Not for now."
Uchiha Sanfeng's gaze remained fixed on the six high-ranking officials outside the hall. His golden nine-tomoe Rinnegan captured every subtle movement of the other party.
"These shadow clones are enough to exhaust their stamina and chakra. Moreover, I have already seen the future through the Divine Technique Ten Directions. I know the abilities and weaknesses of these six people very well. However, they have lived for thousands of years and are very shrewd. It will not be easy to make them expose their weaknesses."
The Divine Arts of the Ten Directions granted him the ability to glimpse fragments of the future. Long before stepping into the Hall of Cause and Effect, he had already predicted every key moment of this battle, which is why he appeared so composed at this moment.
He paused, then added, "Your spatial magic is key; save it for the most opportune moment."
"You're asking for it! A bunch of ants dare to be so insolent!"
Otsutsuki Kugen roared angrily, veins bulging on his forehead, as he activated his Byakugan battle form.
He activated the divine technique, Spatial Control, with all his might, and ripples immediately appeared in the space in front of him.
His eyes were fixed on the shadow clone charging at the front, filled with killing intent and disdain. He raised his hand and clenched it tightly around the row of shadow clones, roaring, "Spatial Imprisonment!"
In an instant, countless invisible shackles wrapped around the shadow clones' bodies, binding their limbs and necks.
Those shadow clones were instantly locked by the invisible spatial force, their bodies as if they were cast in high-density cement, unable to move.
"Is that all you've got?"
Otsutsuki Kugen's face showed disdain, with the arrogance of a high-ranking Otsutsuki member, as he swung his arm down with sudden force: "Spatial Annihilation!"
A burst of pale blue spatial energy erupted instantly, like countless invisible blades, exploding from the imprisoned shadow clones and precisely destroying their chakra cores.
"Bang... bang... bang...!"
A series of muffled explosions rang out, and the imprisoned shadow clones instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.
However, more shadow clones had already bypassed the restricted area, and the shadow clones in the sky were manipulating Truth-Seeking Balls to bombard the area.
The shadow clones on the ground unleashed dozens of ninjutsu in succession, including Sage Art: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, Sage Art: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, and Sage Art: Lightning Release: Lightning Blade. The various ninjutsu lights intertwined to form a net, pouring down towards the six high-ranking officials.
Otsutsuki Kugen's eyes darkened, and his face became increasingly gloomy. He hadn't expected that these shadow clones would not only be numerous and well-coordinated, but also possess such formidable abilities.
He frantically gathered pale blue chakra, forming a spinning ball of energy: "Spatial Storm!"
He slammed the energy ball toward the group of shadow clones. The energy ball exploded instantly, and the surrounding space shattered like glass, making a crisp "crack" sound.
Countless dark spatial fragments flew forward, converging into a spatial storm with a diameter of several thousand meters.
Wherever the storm passed, the space trembled violently, sweeping towards the group of shadow clones with a devastating force.
Many shadow clones were unable to dodge in time and were swept into the storm, along with the Truth-Seeking Balls they controlled, which were torn into a cloud of smoke without any chance to struggle.
Upon seeing this, the shadow clones hovering high in the sky immediately adjusted their formation and manipulated the Truth-Seeking Balls to form a defensive barrier.
"Trying to flank and ambush? How naive!"
Ōtsutsuki Kūgen noticed a shadow clone on his right, immediately sneered, and lightly tapped the void: "Spatial interference!"
The pale blue chakra instantly spread into a huge energy net, covering an area of tens of meters around it, and the spatial fluctuations within the area instantly became chaotic.
Those shadow clones that were preparing to teleport were as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of copper and iron. Their teleportation was forcibly interrupted, and their figures froze in place.
Before they could even adjust, Yu Yuan's gravity field spread out, firmly suppressing them, and then Yu Yuan punched them one by one, turning them into smoke.
Despite the Shadow Clones' ability to fly, use Truth-Seeking Balls, and possess a vast array of ninjutsu, the strength of the six high-ranking Otsutsuki members was ultimately overwhelming. The Shadow Clones were consumed far faster than expected, and in just a short time, most of the thousands of Shadow Clones were destroyed.
On the other side, a dazzling black aura emanated from Otsutsuki Migaki's body. The divine technique, Gravity Field, had been activated, and the ground began to crack wherever the aura reached, making a "crackling" sound.
He stomped his feet hard on the ground, creating two deep craters tens of meters deep. His body shot into the shadow clones like a cannonball, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound. The gravitational field suddenly expanded to more than a hundred meters.
The shadow clones within range instantly felt an immense pressure, their bodies feeling as heavy as if they were being filled with a thousand pounds of iron. Their movements became incredibly sluggish, and their once fluid attack motions became stiff and unresponsive.
"Idiot! You think you can win just because you have more people?"
Otsutsuki Migaki grinned menacingly, revealing sharp teeth, with saliva dripping from between them, making him appear exceptionally ferocious.
He seemed to be recklessly swinging his fists, each punch carrying the force to shatter stars and split the moon. The pale golden chakra on his fists was as solid as steel, and when it hit the shadow clone, it made a dull "bang" sound. The shadow clone that was hit instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.
His attacks appeared chaotic, but each punch was actually precisely calculated, effectively blocking the shadow clones' evasion routes. He also deliberately drove the shadow clones into the spatial storm range of Kong Yan, using his companions' attacks to eliminate the shadow clones and conserve his own energy.
The shadow clone attempted to slash at his golden shield with the black blade formed from the Truth-Seeking Ball, but only a crisp "clang" rang out. The black blade was deflected several meters away, and the aura on the shield did not weaken at all. Instead, it shone with a layer of counter-attack golden light, which forced the shadow clone to retreat several steps.
"Your shield is indeed sturdy, but how long can it last?"
A shadow clone dodged Yugaki's fist, asked in a cold voice, and at the same time waved his hand to send out a black Truth-Seeking Ball.
"We'll wear you down until you're all dead!"
Otsutsuki Mikaki scoffed disdainfully, raised his hand to block the black rod, and continued to rampage through the group of shadow clones.
Otsutsuki Kūki, on the other hand, seemed to be in complete control. A faint gray halo emanated from his body, and his body suddenly became transparent as if its substance had been removed. Even the color of his clothes gradually faded, and he completely entered a state of nothingness.
The incoming shadow clone's fist passed right through his body without any resistance. The Sage Art ninjutsu also sank like a stone into the sea, passing directly through his body and hitting the ground behind him, blasting open deep craters without causing any damage.
"In the void, no attack is effective!"
Otsutsuki's hollow voice carried a hint of languor, as if he were toying with his prey. He raised his hand and gently waved it at a group of shadow clones who were gathering ninjutsu: "Void Devouring!"
A pale gray halo instantly spread out, forming a twisted, void vortex three meters in diameter. The center of the vortex was pitch black, radiating a suction force that devoured everything.
Those shadow clones were instantly pulled into the vortex and swallowed up without a trace.
