Chapter 119: Emperor Kai vs. Six Paths Madara! A Battle That Shakes Heaven and Earth!

Loulan, Dragon Vein

As the light faded, a man clad in a skintight suit, standing at an impressive height of 2.2 meters, with bulging muscles and distinct thick eyebrows, emerged. Emperor Kai gazed up at the moon, which shone brightly in the sky, a smile spreading across his face.

"Good, I succeeded," he said with relief. "The perfect Calm Mind, as I thought, greatly suppresses the fluctuations of chakra. It's a good thing, too, as it allowed me to travel through time and space and arrive here... Hmm, for now, I should go and provide some support. I wonder how the battle is going. A Six Paths-level foe is not something Lee and the others can handle alone."

At the end of his words, his expression turned serious, and he let out a deep breath before shouting, "Ghost Lantern, Open! Muscles, Release! Eight Inner Gates, Activate! Open the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Gates! Aaaah!"

BOOM!!!

A pillar of crimson light shot towards the sky, scattering clouds for kilometers around.

The might of Emperor Kai shook the earth, causing the ground to tremble violently.

He stomped his feet, and the earth seemed to have been struck by a meteor, leaving a crater over 500 meters in diameter.

Emperor Kai shot towards the sky like a bolt of light, instantly reaching the cloud layer.

Then, with a swift movement of his legs,

BOOOM!!!

His body, rubbing against the atmosphere, ignited into a fiery red meteor. Like a comet, he sped away at a speed of at least ten kilometers per second.

Even the Six Paths Sage in the Yellow Springs couldn't help but turn pale at this display, "Another world, an Empire's warrior? Such speed... Such physical prowess... This is far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve. If I didn't have the Seeking Path Jade, even with a perfect Sage Mode, it would be difficult to match this man... What a terrifying individual... With his strength, perhaps he can stop Madara as he is now."

BOOOM!!!

As Six Paths Madara slowly ascended, he heard a rumbling like thunder above him. When he looked up, he saw a fiery red streak of light descending. His gaze followed, and when he saw it land beside a man with spiky hair, his pupils constricted, "Another one... and... it seems to be a formidable warrior worth facing. Interesting... I didn't think there would be such people in the Ninja World... No... He may not be from the Ninja World at all, perhaps he's from another Empire."

"Lee, are you alright?" Emperor Kai asked as he landed beside Empire Lee.

"Teacher Kai, what are you doing here?" Empire Lee exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, I came because I felt that my beloved disciple was in danger!" Emperor Kai grinned, showing his teeth. "I can't let passionate young people like you die in a place like this."

"Teacher Kai!" Empire Lee shouted excitedly.

The other Empire warriors in the distance were invigorated by the arrival of Emperor Kai.

Empire Ay muttered, "It's him... But with his strength, how could he have fit through the time-space portal? Could it be that snake, Orochimaru, was playing tricks on us before?"

"It's Kai..." Empire Kakashi's face relaxed into a slight smile.

This confused Ninja World Tsunade and the Ninja World Kakashi beside her.

Ninja World Tsunade asked, "Kakashi, you seem happy... But... Shouldn't Might Guy be far from enough to deal with Uchiha Madara as he is now?"

"No! Lady Tsunade, you seem to have a misunderstanding," Empire Kakashi replied. "The strength of our world's Kai is not so simple. You know, in the Empire, Kai has another title besides 'Martial Madman'."

"Another title?"

"That's right! It's 'Martial Saint'! His martial arts realm is second only to His Majesty!"

Empire Kakashi's expression turned solemn.

"Second only to His Majesty? Is he stronger than the Twin Stars, Naruto, and Sasuke?" Ninja World Tsunade exclaimed in surprise.

In the Empire, she had rarely seen Might Guy do anything but train and train some more.

But she had witnessed the incredible power of Empire Naruto, whose Wood Release was stronger than his great-grandfather's! If he went all out, she wondered who would be stronger between him and Madara, who possessed the power of the Six Paths.

"Naruto and Sasuke... It's hard to say," Empire Kakashi mused. "They have the blessing of powerful external forces and causal powers..."

"Blessing of powerful external forces and causal powers..." Ninja World Tsunade was perplexed.

She turned her gaze towards Emperor Kai.

At this moment, Six Paths Madara had slowly descended and was observing Emperor Kai. Black Zetsu, who had been hiding in his sleeve, was seething with rage, "So close! We were so close! Why?! Why?! Why must this annoying, spiky-haired fool interfere?! Damn it! Damn it all!"

"Lord Madara! Kill him!" Black Zetsu shouted, barely containing his anger.

"State your name! I sense an extraordinary aura about you, and you are far stronger than the others, worthy of dancing before me."

Six Paths Madara paid no heed to Black Zetsu, his attention fixed on Empire Kai.

Empire Kai didn't respond and instead, his figure flashed, appearing beside Ninja World Kai.

Ninja World Kai looked up, his eyes widening in surprise as he beheld the other, more robust version of himself. "You are... me from the Empire?"

"That's right! My brother, your current state doesn't look good."

"Hahaha... Uchiha Madara... is incredibly powerful. Just one attack, and I was severely injured... I wanted to open the Eight Inner Gates and fight him... but in my current state..."

Ninja World Kai trailed off, his face filled with regret.

But soon, his expression turned solemn as he continued, "My brother! Have you opened the Eight Inner Gates now?"

"Ah! Yes!" Empire Kai nodded.

"Although... I've never opened the Eight Inner Gates myself, it's an incredibly powerful forbidden technique that burns one's life force... The burning passion and hot-bloodedness of youth shouldn't be wasted like this!" Ninja World Kai said.

"Hahahaha! Rest assured, my brother, the Eight Inner Gates burn life force, but my martial arts realm has long been able to seal off the unnatural loss of life force. So, even with the Death Gate open, I won't die!" Empire Kai reassured, giving his other self a thumbs-up.

"Amazing! My brother! Is this the pinnacle of youth?" Ninja World Kai returned the thumbs-up.

"Kai-sensei from another world..." Ninja World Lee lay on the ground, his eyes fixed intently on Empire Kai.

Sensing his gaze, Empire Kai gave him a thumbs-up as well.

The arrival of Empire Kai and the change in Six Paths Madara's expression attracted the attention of others from the Ninja World.

They were perplexed, wondering why the addition of someone who looked like a bald version of Ninja World Kai would cause the seemingly invincible Uchiha Madara to halt his actions and even turn solemn.

Could this bald version be strong? They couldn't tell at all!

"You dare ignore me? If you don't want the qualification to dance before me, then go and die!" Six Paths Madara spoke, and behind him, the Seeking Path Jade orbs flew out one by one, hurtling towards Empire Kai.

Ninja World Might Guy quickly shouted, "Be careful! Don't touch those black orbs with your body... What?! How is this possible?!"

Ninja World Kai exclaimed in disbelief halfway through his sentence, along with the others from the Ninja World. They stared, round-eyed, as the black orbs that had previously destroyed almost everything in their path were... kicked away!

BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

Several Seeking Path Jade orbs were kicked away, flying thousands of meters and creating small craters where they landed.

Empire Kai slowly lowered his right leg and raised his right hand, smiling at Six Paths Madara. "No need to be so hasty, Uchiha Madara."

"How... How did you do that? Without the power of the Six Paths, you shouldn't be able to resist the Seeking Path Jade..." Six Paths Madara furrowed his brows in confusion.

"The Seeking Path Jade? I've heard His Majesty mention this item before. Although it's powerful, it's not invincible. As long as one's true qi is strong enough to cause a qualitative change, it can defend against the Seeking Path Jade," Empire Kai explained.

"I see... True qi, martial arts... They are indeed remarkable," Six Paths Madara nodded.

"Then let the true battle begin, Uchiha Madara! Experience the might of martial arts! Empire Dragon Elephant Leg!" Empire Kai roared, his figure already flashing towards Six Paths Madara.

His right leg lashed out with tremendous force.

"Indeed, so fast!" Six Paths Madara's heart jumped, and he raised the Six Paths Staff to block.

Empire Kai's leg hadn't even made contact yet, but the sheer force compressed the air, causing a powerful true qi explosion akin to lightning, blasting the surrounding hundreds of meters like a thousand claps of thunder.

The compressed true qi also bent the Six Paths Staff, sending Six Paths Madara flying like a cannonball.

BOOM!!!

With that explosive sound, Empire Kai transformed into a stream of light, pursuing Six Paths Madara. He appeared behind Madara, preparing to kick him back.

But Six Paths Madara was quick to react, his Rinnegan eye glaring: "Limbo: Border Jail!"

"Strange shadows! Witness my Empire Seven God Kick!" Empire Kai's expression changed.

However, he didn't retract his kick; instead, it split into seven, rapidly striking in seven different directions.

Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!

Six consecutive sonic booms rippled through the air, and space seemed to tear open, creating massive shockwaves that cleared the clouds for several kilometers!

Six unseen objects were kicked away by Empire Kai.

Six Paths Madara's face twisted in rage, but he took the opportunity to catch his breath.

With a twist of his right hand, purple lightning bolts surged forward, engulfing a fan-shaped area hundreds of meters ahead. The void slightly warped at this moment.

Emperor Kai, having just kicked out, was unable to dodge.

Facing these terrifying thunderbolts, he let out a mighty roar:

"Raaah!"

His chakra and true qi erupted, blocking the lightning at his body's surface before once again appearing above Six Paths Madara's head.

He threw a punch, landing it squarely on Madara's skull! Madara's entire body plummeted downward, crashing into the earth!

BOOOM!!!

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky!

Even the ninjas in the Hidden Village, over twenty kilometers away, felt the gust of wind! Many of them were blown away.

They stared, dumbfounded, at the distant mushroom cloud, muttering:

"So... so strong..."

"Was that guy with the buzzcut Might Guy?"

"Should be another world's Might Guy, right? How... how is he so powerful?"

"You're kidding, right? Six Paths Madara, who achieved the Six Paths Transformation, was sent flying?"

"So, that's why those Empire guys were toying with us before?"

"Why didn't they tell us about such powerful individuals earlier? What's the point of our resistance now..."

The group of ninjas muttered, feeling like crying yet laughing at the same time.

They also felt ashamed of their overconfidence and ignorance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, impaled to the ground by a black stick, had a deathly pale face:

"It's over... it's all over. With such powerful individuals in the Empire, there's no way we can take revenge!"

"Damn it! Damn the Uchiha, and damn the Empire!" Danzo's face was filled with anger.

"He's too strong, far beyond me.

Is this the true power of another world, the Empire's true elite? I wonder who's stronger, him or that legendary Senju Tianren."

Senju Hashirama, on the other hand, was excited.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, furrowed his brows, silent.

"So this is the so-called Martial Saint... Indeed... he's incredibly powerful..." Tsunade Senju, Kakashi Hatake, and the others could only swallow their saliva.

BOOM!!!

The ground exploded.

Six Paths Madara emerged from the ground, his expression gloomy.

Just now, his entire head had been punched into his chest cavity.

If not for the immortality granted by the Six Paths body, he would be dead by now! This put him in a foul mood.

As he watched Emperor Kai slowly descend, he said:

"Indeed, you are powerful, someone from another world! In the realm of taijutsu, you are indeed worthy of being called a god."

"God? No... I'm not worthy of being called a god. In the entire world, in the heavens and on earth, only His Majesty is worthy of that title." Emperor Kai shook his head.

"..." Madara's expression turned even gloomier at these words:

"Are you saying that your so-called His Majesty is even stronger than you?"

"Of course!

My current strength is probably still inferior to His Majesty's from 22 years ago, let alone now.

The gap between us is like an ant trying to shake a tree."

Emperor Kai spoke solemnly, his expression filled with admiration and reverence.

This made Madara's face twist in anger.

So, his current strength was still insignificant in the Empire? What nonsense! How could I believe that!

This bald guy is mocking me, looking down on me, and trying to provoke me?

Fine! Then I'll give you what you want!

Damn it!

"Sage Art: Storm Release Laser!"

Madara spat out a laser from his mouth.

Emperor Kai simply raised his hand, and the laser stopped in his palm, unable to advance any further:

"Your speed is impressive, but it lacks attack power!"

Emperor Kai commented.

"Don't get too cocky, you brat from another world! Shinra Tensei!"

Madara was now truly enraged.

A powerful repulsive force erupted.

"Your mind is in chaos, Uchiha Madara!"

Emperor Kai then waved his hand, shattering the repulsive force wall.

He appeared before Madara, and Madara quickly switched places with his Limbo clone.

"Oh?"

In the next moment, the Limbo clone was kicked away by Emperor Kai.

In the sky, dozens of kilometers away, Madara roared:

"Brat from another world! Your dance is not bad! But it's far from enough! I am the strongest now! No one! Can defeat me!

Chibaku Tensei: Infinite Meteorite Crush! Raaaah!"

Accompanying Madara's roar, in the starry sky,

Hundreds, or even thousands, of meteorites with diameters exceeding a kilometer appeared! They rubbed against the atmosphere, their surfaces appearing to burn with flames!
