Chapter 235: Eight Inner Gates and Six Paths Power [17]
Chapter 235: Eight Inner Gates and Six Paths Power [17]
"Impossible..."
Having been forced back by Feng Ye's previous burst of chakra, Mei Terumi stared in disbelief from a distance of several dozen meters. She could clearly sense the immense and terrifying amount of chakra Feng Ye had just unleashed, and now he was retracting it!
At this moment, a faint golden light still enveloped Feng Ye. The overwhelming chakra fluctuations from before had disappeared, replaced by a profound aura that defied precise perception.
Especially those pitch-black orbs floating behind Feng Ye—they filled Mei with a sense of unease as she witnessed the immense chakra condensed within them.
"He actually stabilized it..." Mei murmured, unable to tear her eyes away.
Then, she saw something that made her eyes widen even further. Feng Ye raised his hand, and one of the black orbs floated into his palm, melting and elongating into a black sword.
"Finally, I've entered the Six Paths level," Feng Ye whispered, gazing at the sword formed from the Seekers of Wisdom in his hand.
With his previous strength, the Kusanagi Sword had barely been able to withstand his use. If he hadn't repeatedly used time regression to restore the sword, it would have been destroyed long ago.
Although the Kusanagi Sword was a divine artifact, it still fell short of the Six Paths level and couldn't compare to the Seekers of Wisdom. Without infusing it with senjutsu chakra, any contact with the Seekers of Wisdom would result in its destruction.
"This is the power of the Six Paths," Feng Ye murmured as he gently closed his hands, causing the pitch-black Seeker of Wisdom sword to melt once more and revert to its orb form.
Mei, witnessing this, was stunned.
As a kekkei genkai user herself, she was highly sensitive to such powers. Looking at the black orb in Feng Ye's palm, which could change shape at his whim, she instantly deduced that it contained at least four different nature transformations!
The combination of three nature transformations was known as kekkei genkai, a power possessed only by the Second and Third Tsuchikage in the ninja world. But four or more...
She couldn't even begin to imagine it.
Hum!
Feng Ye fiddled with the Seekers of Wisdom for a moment, sensing the state of his body. Suddenly, his intent stirred, and the chakra within him went berserk, breaking through the third gate of the Eight Inner Gates.
The third gate of the Eight Inner Gates opened, and a silver light flashed from his chest. But before the chakra could burst forth, it was instantly assimilated by the Six Paths Power.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The fourth, fifth, and sixth gates.
Under Feng Ye's control, the next three gates of the Eight Inner Gates were consecutively broken, releasing a torrent of rampaging chakra that swiftly merged with the Six Paths Power.
"As I expected," Feng Ye clenched his fist as he murmured, "Even the chakra of the Eight Inner Gates merges with the Six Paths Mode."
The power of the Eight Inner Gates hadn't disappeared but had become one with the Nine-Tails chakra, senjutsu chakra, and Rinnegan power, blending seamlessly with the Six Paths Mode.
At this moment, the pale golden Six Paths coat that enveloped him became even paler, and new patterns appeared on it—patterns belonging to the Eight Inner Gates.
"My speed has increased again, but the chakra transformation isn't as significant."
The pure chakra of the sixth gate was roughly equivalent to that of Hiruzen Sarutobi; even such an amount couldn't condense a complete Seeker of Wisdom.
"The power of the sixth gate is too weak."
"Only by opening the eighth gate, the Death Gate, and forming the Eight Gates Formation, can one attain power on par with the Six Paths Mode. In that form, it shouldn't be assimilated by the Six Paths Mode."
Feng Ye exhaled softly.
The power of the Eight Inner Gates wasn't rendered useless; it was just that, under the Six Paths Mode, the strength of the sixth gate was too insignificant to affect the Six Paths Mode.
Only by reaching the eighth gate would there be a qualitative change! This was evident from the fact that after opening the third gate, he barely felt any significant change, but upon opening the sixth gate, the Six Paths coat now bore the patterns of the Eight Inner Gates.
"If I could open the Death Gate..."
"A Six Paths Eight Gates Formation?"
Feng Ye couldn't be certain of the changes that would occur upon opening the Eight Gates Formation, but he was sure that when that time came, his power would surpass all! Even without activating the Six Paths Mode, the mere combination of time acceleration and the Eight Gates Formation would already far surpass the power of Six Paths Madara.
"Let's go. It's time to head to Kirigakure."
Feng Ye turned his head to look at Mei Terumi behind him, then took off into the air. He reached out and grabbed the empty space in Mei's direction, causing her body to float up involuntarily.
Of course, Feng Ye wasn't going to walk on the ground.
With Mei in tow, they were traversing the Land of Water, which was full of Kirigakure ninja. There was a constant risk of exposure, and if Obito Uchiha and Nagato found out, they would undoubtedly flee early.
Whoosh!!
Feng Ye soared upward with Mei, piercing through the sky until they reached the clouds, from where they could overlook nearly half of the Land of Water. Only then did they stop ascending.
At this altitude, the cold and thin air made it difficult even for Mei, who was using chakra to cling to her body's surface to ward off the cold, to bear.
Noticing this, Feng Ye extended his hand and placed it on Mei's shoulder, infusing her with a strand of Six Paths Senjutsu chakra.
"Mmm..."
Feeling the warmth coursing through her, Mei's body, which had been stiff from the cold and lack of breath, finally relaxed.
With one hand on her shoulder, Feng Ye looked down at the Land of Water and said, "Point the way to Kirigakure."
Feng Ye's actions completely caught Mei off guard.
She had been hesitating about whether to leave a secret signal to notify the people of Kirigakure when she brought Feng Ye into the Land of Water. Now, it seemed that hesitation was unnecessary.
Aside from the rare ninja who could fly, even those who could probably wouldn't reach such heights, and even her chakra was struggling to maintain her vital functions at this altitude.
Since she couldn't stop it,
She could only accept it.
"Over there..."
Mei pointed in the direction of Kirigakure.
Feng Ye glanced in that direction, and the power of his Rinnegan activated, enveloping both him and Mei as they swiftly flew toward Kirigakure.
