Chapter 148: Dragon Vein Energy [15]
Chapter 148: Dragon Vein Energy [15]
"Huh?"
Hearing Feng Ye's first sentence, Sara's face remained pale as she looked at the multitude of puppets gathering nearby. But when she heard his last words, she was taken aback.
Immediately, a silvery radiance bathed Feng Ye, with strands of lightning arcs weaving through his short silver hair. In the next moment, Feng Ye's body transformed into a bolt of silver lightning, disappearing from his original spot in an instant.
Szz!
For a fleeting moment, the world seemed to dim.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn't that the surrounding light had faded, but rather, a dazzling silver radiance had formed an arc of lightning that exploded across the entire plaza.
This radiance was so brilliant that it made the other areas of the world seem dull in comparison! The intersecting arcs affected all the puppets in the plaza.
Shush!
In the next instant, Feng Ye's figure reappeared where he had been standing. The Kusanagi sword in his hand was tilted and pointed diagonally to the right, as if it had never moved.
Then, to Sara's astonishment, the entire plaza filled with puppet soldiers froze as if they were dominoes, shattering into countless fragments and collapsing in sections!
"..."
Naruto's mouth hung open, unable to close for a moment as he dumbfoundedly witnessed the scene, exclaiming, "Wh-What was that?!"
Kakashi was also slightly shaken. This was the first time he had witnessed Feng Ye's power firsthand, but compared to Sara and Naruto, he was much more composed.
He glanced at Naruto beside him, his arms folded in front of him, and said, "That's my big brother's strength. You've still got a long way to go, genin."
The scene fell silent, with only the sound of crackling lightning arcs remaining on some of the puppet fragments.
"Let's go."
Feng Ye paid no heed to Naruto or Kakashi. He dispersed the silver light from his body, crouched slightly, and picked up Sara, who was still dazed. Then, his figure flickered, and he landed on a tall tower in the center, saying, "Stop spacing out. Tell me the direction of the dragon vein's source. If we don't cut off the dragon vein, it will resurrect again."
"Oh... Over... there..."
Sara snapped out of her stupor and accidentally almost fell, quickly hugging Feng Ye's neck and pointing in a direction.
Feng Ye held Sara with one hand and swung his sword with the other, slashing out another dazzling flash that shattered An Lu Shan's puppet body, which was in the process of regenerating. Then, his figure flickered, and he quickly headed in the direction Sara had indicated.
Swish!
Feng Ye, carrying Sara, smashed through a wall and crashed into the tall tower built at the source of the dragon vein. He hovered for a moment and landed on the central platform of the tower.
From this vantage point, they could see that the entire abyss below was covered in purple chakra. This purple chakra was immense, almost limitless.
This was the energy source of the entire world!
"I'll go seal the dragon vein!"
Sara also knew that there was no time to lose. She jumped down from Feng Ye's arm and rushed to the center of the platform, placing her hand over it to try and seal the dragon vein.
However, at that moment, a furious roar shook the heavens, coming from outside.
"You dare?!?!"
An Lu Shan's puppet body, facing the tall tower where the source of the dragon vein was located, roared in fury. He abandoned controlling the puppets and instead manipulated the chakra of the dragon vein, causing the purple energy within the entire dragon vein to surge upwards like boiling water.
"You dare to try and seal the dragon vein... Since you want to seal it away, I'll bury this place and all of you along with it!!!"
Inside the tower.
As Sara watched the massive dragon vein power surging up from below, her face paled, and she immediately activated her ability to try and soothe the dragon vein's energy. However, she struggled to suppress it, and the entire tower began to crumble gradually.
"Damn, this is bad..."
"The dragon vein has gone berserk. If this continues, not only this place but all of Loulan will be destroyed." Sara's face was ashen, and her eyes showed her panic.
Just then, Feng Ye, who had been standing by the stone platform, gazing down at the vast purple chakra emanating from the dragon vein, took a few steps forward and reached the edge of the platform.
"Let me give it a try." Feng Ye lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the slowly churning abyss below as he spoke.
The sealing technique he possessed was only a basic one, inadequate for sealing the already rampaging dragon vein. However, he felt a soul-deep yearning for the rampant energy within it.
With his ability to turn back time, Feng Ye was unafraid of being overwhelmed by the dragon vein's energy. His only worry was the possibility of being transported to an entirely different era, which would make his return a troublesome endeavor.
Nonetheless, he could only trust his instincts for the time being.
Sara watched, astonished, as Feng Ye stepped to the edge of the stone platform and leaped into the abyss, plunging directly into the surging dragon vein energy.
"Feng Ye!!!" Sara cried out, her eyes widening in shock as she rushed to the edge of the platform, peering down into the depths. The dragon vein energy below had begun to churn wildly.
The energy, which had been surging upward and in all directions, suddenly began to contract inward, and at its core, they could faintly discern Feng Ye's figure!
Outside, in the world beyond the abyss.
An Lu Shan, who had been manipulating the dragon vein's rampage, stiffened abruptly, realizing he had lost control of the dragon vein's energy and could no longer draw upon its power.
"Impossible... How could this be... It's not being sealed, it's being cut off... That man actually cut off the dragon vein energy from within, stealing my power?!"
A silver light flashed.
Kakashi appeared behind An Lu Shan.
Deprived of the dragon vein's energy, An Lu Shan was nothing more than an ordinary puppet body. Without even noticing Kakashi's approach, he was struck by Kakashi's Chidori and his body collapsed, shattering from the center.
"No! Noooo!!!" An Lu Shan let out a desperate howl, struggling to reassemble his body. But having lost the dragon vein's energy, he no longer possessed an immortal physique, and the fragmented body twitched feebly a few times before disintegrating completely.
Naruto, who had mostly been a bystander throughout the entire affair, stood there dumbfounded, taking in the scene. After a few seconds, he muttered, "Kakashi-sensei is truly Kakashi-sensei, even back when he was so young..."
Kakashi paid no heed to Naruto.
After defeating An Lu Shan, he turned his gaze toward the tall tower where the dragon vein energy was raging. With a swift movement, he made his way toward the tower.
At the same time, a white light emanated from Naruto, causing him to pause briefly. He surmised that he was probably being sent back to his original timeframe.
A sunny smile spread across his face.
"I never expected to encounter the young Kakashi-sensei here, but he was certainly an annoying brat back then."
"And Kakashi-sensei's brother, who knew he would be such a powerful ninja? That speed and lightning-style ninjutsu would be a challenge even for the Super Pervert."
"Truly incredible."
As Naruto muttered to himself, his body completely transformed into white light particles, dissipating and vanishing from the scene.
On the other side.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Kakashi swiftly arrived at the tall tower.
As he entered, he noticed that the purple energy filling the tower was rapidly diminishing.
Kakashi leaped onto the central platform, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He spotted Sara standing at the edge of the platform, her knuckles white as she anxiously clenched her fists and stared down into the abyss.
Kakashi immediately understood the situation. He lowered his head to look down as well.
And at that moment.
Buzz!!
The purple radiance contracted sharply and vanished without a trace.
The world beneath the platform reverted to a dark abyss, its depths shrouded in darkness, devoid of any sign of life or movement. It was as if everything had been swallowed by the void.
