Chapter 256: Absurdly High Magic Resistance
Chapter 256: Absurdly High Magic Resistance
One after another, densely packed, oversized water bombs composed of senjutsu chakra rained down like a torrential downpour.
Right at the start, the Great Toad Sage displayed his might as the leader of Mount Myoboku.
It was no wonder that the contractors of the Three Holy Lands couldn't summon the Great Toad Sage, the White Snake Sage, or the Slug Sage in their true forms.
If such beings were to appear on the battlefield of the Great Ninja War, they could probably bring about a decisive victory for their contractors in a short period.
At this moment, a rapid whistling sound filled the air.
With a sweep of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Rinnegan, he perceived that unlike the ninjutsu used by others, the structure of the Great Toad Sage's ninjutsu was exceptionally stable, leaving no openings whatsoever.
This meant that it would be impossible to dispel the ninjutsu with minimal cost, forcing it to dissipate on its own.
For now, the only options were to either take the hit head-on or dodge it.
Hagoromo narrowed his eyes, wasting no time as he nimbly dodged each water bomb with the agility of a swallow, swiftly closing in on the Great Toad Sage.
Just as the Great Toad Sage landed back on the ground, Hagoromo, still in motion, clapped his hands together and declared:
"Sage Art: Ice Blast Jutsu!"
Crackle! Crackle!
The air around the Great Toad Sage instantly froze, encapsulating its massive body in a block of ice.
Aware that this could only temporarily restrict the Great Toad Sage, Hagoromo reached his hand behind him.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Ordinary Shinra Tensei or Bansho Ten'in would have minimal effect on massive beings like the Great Toad Sage.
However, Hagoromo intended to use this jutsu on himself.
Harnessing the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei, he abruptly increased his speed and appeared in an instant before the Great Toad Sage.
At that moment, the vast senjutsu chakra within the Great Toad Sage's body erupted, shattering the Ice Blast Jutsu that could have completely frozen others in an instant.
Countless exquisite ice crystals scattered from the Great Toad Sage's body in a dazzling display.
Bathed in the rain of ice crystals, Hagoromo leaped forward, extending his right hand. His index and middle fingers came together, adorned with the hue of steel release, as he channeled his high-density chakra to exert immense strength. Like an exceptionally sharp sword, his fingers carried an unstoppable edge, piercing straight toward the Great Toad Sage's chest.
While the Great Toad Sage's enormous body granted it advantages in chakra quantity, strength, and physique, it fell short in agility when compared to Hagoromo.
At this point, it was too late for the Great Toad Sage to dodge, but its expression remained unchanged.
In the next instant—
A piercing sound reverberated as Hagoromo's finger stabbed right into the Great Toad Sage's chest.
Hagoromo's expression shifted slightly as he felt something unexpected.
From the sensation of his finger, he not only perceived that the Great Toad Sage's body was much harder than steel, but he also felt a slippery layer of oil on the surface of its skin.
Although Hagoromo had adjusted his finger strike in time, a portion of the impact was still dissipated by the oily layer on the Great Toad Sage's skin.
Riiiip!
Blood splattered everywhere.
Despite Hagoromo's full-powered strike, his finger only managed to pierce a small hole through the Great Toad Sage's defense.
For a ninja, such an injury would undoubtedly be fatal.
However, for the massively-built Great Toad Sage, it was at most a minor wound.
The wind howled wildly!
Before Hagoromo could make another move, a gigantic frog palm descended from the sky, aiming to strike him with overwhelming force.
Hagoromo looked up calmly and extended his other hand, clenching it into a fist.
Boom!
A heart-shaking explosion reverberated.
As the ground shook uncontrollably, the Great Toad Sage's massive body involuntarily took a few steps back.
On the other hand, Yuyi Xuan Yue backed away even further.
However, neither of them wasted any time during this brief respite.
"Lava Release: Molten Lava River!"
"Water Release: High-Pressure Wave!"
Extremely high-temperature lava, capable of melting anything in its path, condensed in front of Yuyi Xuan Yue and flowed towards the Great Toad Sage.
Meanwhile, the Great Toad Sage spat out a super high-pressure straight water jet from its mouth. Compared to the Water Cutter used by Fuen, this water jet was not only faster but also on a far larger scale.
Yuyi Xuan Yue watched as the super high-pressure water jet, comparable in size to the Great Toad Sage itself, pierced through the molten lava sea in a pinpoint fashion, reaching him before his attack could land.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's Rinnegan eye twitched, and he braced himself with both hands, performing the Seal Absorption Technique.
A transparent barrier appeared in front of him.
No matter how many high-pressure water jets came his way, they all turned into senjutsu chakra and merged into his body before the barrier.
Just as Yuyi Xuan Yue indulged in absorbing the senjutsu chakra for his own use...
Suddenly!
An enormous figure, like a typhoon, appeared swiftly beside him, so massive that it blocked half of the sky.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's pupils constricted.
Because his vision was blocked by the water jet, when he performed the Seal Attraction Technique, he momentarily failed to pay attention to the movements in front of him.
He had thought that the Great Toad Sage would be held back by the lava release.
But now!
He turned his head and saw the Great Toad Sage, its body covered in molten lava, the sizzling sound of the extremely high temperatures still echoing on its skin, approaching him calmly and unfazed.
"This old guy's magic resistance is much higher than I expected!"
With a sigh, Yuyi Xuan Yue, who didn't have time to defend himself, was sent flying like a cannonball, his body creating friction with the air as he rapidly retreated.
After flying for a good hundred meters, Yuyi Xuan Yue crashed into the huge crater that had once been Mount Myoboku.
"Bang!" His body created yet another large crater, and just as he was about to skip across the water like a stone, he twisted his body, forcing himself downward, his feet stomping the ground forcefully as he skidded for nearly fifty meters before finally coming to a stop.
Before he could catch his breath...
The Great Toad Sage leaped with a single frog jump, crossing a distance of over a hundred meters in an instant, and appeared right above Yuyi Xuan Yue, its massive body descending like a mountain, ready to crush him.
Boom~~~
Even before the Great Toad Sage landed, the powerful air currents that arrived first caused the ground within a radius of nearly fifty meters below it to sink two fingers deep.
At the same time, Yuyi Xuan Yue felt as if an invisible rope had been wrapped around him, restricting his movements.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Yuyi Xuan Yue aimed his palm at the Great Toad Sage descending from the sky and released the jutsu before the latter could reach him.
In the next instant...
The Great Toad Sage landed.
Dust rose like long smoke, reaching high into the sky.
Another giant crater formed at the original site of Mount Myoboku.
Soon, the dust that had soared to the clouds gradually settled, accompanied by the relentless gust of wind.
The violent sandstorm quickly engulfed both Yuyi Xuan Yue and the Great Toad Sage.
Yuyi Xuan Yue slowly rose to his feet, ignoring the sandstorm, his Rinnegan eyes fixed on the enormous chakra conglomerate in front of him.
Similarly, the Great Toad Sage, possessing similar abilities, clearly sensed Yuyi Xuan Yue's every move.
In this standoff, the battlefield fell into a momentary silence.
