The last trace of Otsutsuki Hamura's true spirit awakened, merging with Toneri. His awakened form completely overwhelmed Otsutsuki Green Bull, dominating him throughout the fight with no chance of retaliation.
Although Otsutsuki Green Bull was also a high-ranking member, he was at the bottom of the pecking order, his strength inferior to top-tier members like Otsutsuki Kaguya and Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Toneri's new form even surpassed the aura of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, who had merged with two Ten-Tails.
However, this was only a temporary boost. Otsutsuki Hamura's true spirit had a limited duration. Once it dissipated, Toneri would be forced back to his original form.
*Boom!*
A golden-green energy sword slashed through the air, obliterating Otsutsuki Green Bull's left leg. His battered body fled through the mountains, his face devoid of its earlier arrogance.
Panic and fear gradually consumed him.
"Why, why has your strength increased so much!" Otsutsuki Green Bull roared, his other arm also annihilated by the sword's light. He was unwilling to accept this, as a high-ranking member of the Otsutsuki clan, having held a prominent position for years, how could he be pushed to such a predicament by a mere Otsutsuki cub from a remote star system.
Otsutsuki Green Bull was in a panic. He still had secret techniques to use, powerful trump cards, but under Toneri's overwhelming pressure, there was no time.
"Stop, stop! Clan rules prohibit infighting among members. You can't kill me!"
Hearing Green Bull's unwilling roar, Toneri's azure eyes remained indifferent. In this battle, he was not alone; he fought with the spirits of all of Otsutsuki Hamura's descendants from the past millennium. This was far beyond what a mere Otsutsuki Green Bull could compare to.
"Clan members?"
Toneri tilted his head, as if recalling something, and a faint, illusory smile played on his lips, "Teacher Lin Yu said that those who achieve great things can even kill their closest kin!"
"Therefore, my dear clan member, please embrace your death!"
A golden light magnified infinitely in Otsutsuki Green Bull's eyes. At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind.
Which damned teacher was so misguided, teaching students like this!
...
In another battlefield not far away, Might Guy, who had opened the Eight Inner Gates, fought an intense battle against Otsutsuki Hitoe with the assistance of Minato Namikaze. However, as time passed, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
The consumption of the Death Gate was too immense, and even with a constant supply of chakra imbued with life force, it was a mere drop in the ocean.
"Evening Elephant!"
Knowing that further delay would only accelerate his death, Might Guy did not hesitate and unleashed Evening Elephant. A colossal dragon formed from blood-red steam roared and plunged towards Otsutsuki Hitoe.
Facing the lock-on of Evening Elephant's aura, coupled with Minato Namikaze's interference and containment from the side, Otsutsuki Hitoe, whose speed was not fast to begin with, couldn't dodge Evening Elephant's area of effect. His yellow Six-Tomoe Rinnegan slowly rotated.
"Glass Bodhi · City Wall!"
This was the ability of Otsutsuki Hitoe's Rinnegan, which could transform any object, including himself, into amber glass, greatly enhancing defense and hardness, akin to the immovable Vajra body in Buddhism.
A glass city wall rose up, obstructing Evening Elephant's charging path. However, in front of Evening Elephant, Minato Namikaze, in Sage Mode, wielded a Giant Ball Rasengan and slammed it into the ground around the glass city wall.
"You think you're delirious because you can't break my defense?"
*Crack!*
The ground split, and the connection between the glass city wall and the ground was severed. Minato Namikaze placed his hand on it and flashed a brilliant smile at Otsutsuki Hitoe, "Sorry, I missed."
*Whoosh!*
The glass city wall instantly vanished. What greeted Otsutsuki Hitoe was a crimson dragon head, ferocious and full of oppressive power!
"Not good!"
Otsutsuki Hitoe immediately glassified himself, maximizing the repulsive force of his Rinnegan, and roared as he met Evening Elephant head-on.
With a crunching sound, like shattering crystal, Otsutsuki Hitoe's right chest was shattered by more than half, and his entire face was covered in cracks. However, he survived, taking Evening Elephant head-on. Might Guy had already collapsed in a nearby crater, white smoke rising from his body as wisps of green chakra healed him.
Otsutsuki Hitoe let out a wild laugh, dispelling his ocular jutsu. Just as he was about to absorb Might Guy's chakra to recover, an icy bone spur appeared from the space behind him and pierced his heart with a *chuchi* sound.
"You..."
Otsutsuki Hitoe turned his head, his expression frozen in hatred and unwillingness. He could only utter one word before his body crumbled like dust, turning into a pile of mud and vanishing into smoke.
Kaguya retracted her hand and re-entered the space portal. She intended to hunt more high-ranking Otsutsuki members before the ancient ancestor returned. However, opportunities like the one just presented were rare. Top-tier members like Kaguya and Hagoromo never exposed such vulnerabilities.
On the other side, Lin Yu, along with Obito and others, had dealt with the Otsutsuki member with the orange Rinnegan. However, the consecutive loss of three high-ranking Otsutsuki members in such a short period could not be tolerated by Tenshi. He broke away from Hashirama Senju and gathered the remaining high-ranking Otsutsuki members.
"Where is Momiji?"
Among the eight Otsutsuki present, only Otsutsuki Kaguya's appearance was slightly disheveled. The others maintained their peak condition.
*Thump!*
In the distance, a figure collapsed on the ground, her face rather alluring and seductive. She had no major physical injuries, but her pupils were vacant, and her soul was gradually dissipating.
Itachi and Shisui lay on the ground, gasping for breath, their faces extremely pale. It was partly luck that they were able to erase Otsutsuki Momiji from the soul level. Their awakened Rinnegan's exclusive ocular techniques were both illusion-based.
Coupled with their impeccable teamwork, with Shisui as the primary attacker and Itachi as support, they had almost exhausted their ocular power. Only when their vision was almost blurred did they manage to annihilate Otsutsuki Momiji's soul.
"Is this truly just a low-level planet?"
An Otsutsuki high-ranking member couldn't help but exclaim. This was truly shocking. The consecutive deaths of four Otsutsuki members in such a short time was something that hadn't happened in thousands of years.
Otsutsuki Tenshi remained silent. He admitted that he had underestimated these humans, but if this was all they had, they would still be unable to escape their doom.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in space, and the Otsutsuki ancient ancestor appeared on the moon, dragging a colossal corpse, or rather, the body of an Otsutsuki.
"Hmm?"
The Otsutsuki ancient ancestor uttered a soft exclamation. Four high-ranking members lost?
Was the current generation of high-ranking members too weak, or were the natives of this planet truly that powerful?
The Otsutsuki ancient ancestor suppressed his expression. However, none of that mattered anymore. No matter how strong an ant was, it was still an ant.
The Otsutsuki ancient ancestor looked at Lin Yu and said indifferently, "I will make you witness firsthand that your so-called trump cards are nothing but a joke in the eyes of the Otsutsuki!"
"Summon!"
The Otsutsuki ancient ancestor hovered in the sky, placing the colossal body above his head. Blue light emanated from his eyes, as if communicating with some entity, or opening a door to an unknown realm.
A mysterious and oppressive aura enveloped the battlefield.
He must not succeed!
This was the heartfelt plea of all the Shinobi World inhabitants. They did not know what the Otsutsuki ancient ancestor was doing, nor who he was, but even Otsutsuki Tenshi bowed to him, indicating his extraordinary background.
Everyone felt immense pressure, but they had no time to hesitate and would not wait for their doom. They surged forward from their respective battlefields.
"Tenshi!"
The Otsutsuki ancient ancestor called out softly. He placed a black ring into Tenshi's hand. The latter grinned cruelly, tossed it into the air, and channeled energy into it.
As the black hole jump re-opened, numerous Otsutsuki members with extraordinary auras emerged from the black hole...
At this moment, the starry sky above the moon also became mysterious and unfathomable, as if a door leading to a higher dimension was about to open...
