Chapter 258: The Dao Seeking Jade!!
Chapter 258: The Dao Seeking Jade!!
Boom!
The ground cracked like a spider web, and with a swift step, Huyi Xuan Yue advanced towards the Great Toad Sage once more.
"Water Style: Water Bomb Blast!"
The Great Toad Sage opened its massive mouth, and bullet-sized water bombs, each carrying an ear-piercing shriek, rained down on Huyi Xuan Yue in a dense barrage.
"Shinra Tensei!"
With a forward press of his palm, Huyi Xuan Yue deflected all the incoming water bombs.
In the next moment, he flashed and swiftly closed in on the Great Toad Sage.
"Rinnegan"
The Great Toad's gaze fell upon the purple whirlpool-like eye mere inches away, a sight it was familiar with.
Long ago, it had seen the same type of Rinnegan in Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
It was because of its understanding of the Rinnegan's abilities that it seized the opportunity to strike while Huyi Xuan Yue was immobilized by his own Fuinjutsu: Absorption Seal. It braved the molten lava sea to land a blow on him.
The mysterious Rinnegan, which bewildered others, held no secrets for the Great Toad Sage.
What confused the Great Toad Sage was how Huyi Xuan Yue came to possess the Rinnegan.
Additionally, the power displayed by Huyi Xuan Yue's Rinnegan seemed inferior to that of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's.
The Great Toad Sage was not omniscient, and the future it saw in its dreams was but a fragment.
There were many things it couldn't comprehend in their entirety.
This was why Huyi Xuan Yue paid no heed to the future it foretold and its attempts at persuasion.
Boom!
A dull blast resounded as Huyi Xuan Yue transformed his palm into a blade, concentrating a massive amount of Senjutsu Chakra into it with precise control, and thrust it straight at the Great Toad Sage.
The Great Toad Sage snapped back to its senses and remained unmoving. Its enormous frog-like hand descended like a five-fingered mountain.
It was more than willing to trade its own injury for ensuring that Huyi Xuan Yue ceased to exist.
As if anticipating this, Huyi Xuan Yue halted his blade-like palm, his expression calm as he flashed to the side, appearing at the Great Toad Sage's flank, ready to strike again.
A gust of wind carrying sand and dust swept up.
With his enhanced sensory abilities granted by Senjutsu, the Great Toad reacted swiftly to the missed strike, leaping away to create distance.
Huyi Xuan Yue extended his other empty hand, aiming at the leaping Great Toad Sage.
"Banbutsu Sozo!"
Huyi Xuan Yue's palm erupted with a powerful gravitational force.
While the Great Toad Sage wasn't pulled back, it stiffened for a moment as it hung in the air, unable to find purchase.
Bang!
Seizing the opportunity, Huyi Xuan Yue soared upward, appearing above the Great Toad Sage in an instant. His palm blade transformed into a fist, which he drove downward with force.
The Great Toad Sage's massive body crashed into the ground with a "boom," like a meteorite striking the earth.
A thick column of smoke rapidly rose, accompanied by surging shockwaves that seemed almost tangible.
Without hesitation, Huyi Xuan Yue pressed his advantage and pursued his opponent, plunging into the thick cloud of dust and smoke, giving the Great Toad Sage no respite.
However, as soon as Huyi Xuan Yue stepped into the mushroom cloud, a long, pitch-black shadow, moving at an incredible speed that even the Rinnegan couldn't fully discern, viciously stabbed towards him.
It was only when it drew near that Huyi Xuan Yue noticed it was a toad tongue, covered in bumps.
At that moment, the seemingly frail tongue resembled a gigantic crossbow bolt, piercing through the sky while carrying an unstoppable destructive force.
Huyi Xuan Yue's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately dodged. He once again activated Shinra Tensei from his hand.
Huyi Xuan Yue felt as if a speeding truck had brushed past his shoulder.
His left arm went numb instantly.
He turned to see the massive, straight tongue of the toad had already whipped past him, taking a large chunk of flesh from his arm, exposing the white bones underneath.
Huyi Xuan Yue remained unfazed as he retracted his gaze. Lifting his bleeding left hand, he swiftly reached out towards the nearby toad tongue, and the flesh on his arm regenerated at an incredibly fast rate.
By the time his left hand firmly grasped the tongue, his arm had fully healed, showing no signs of injury.
With the Yin Seal unlocked and his cells completely activated, he was constantly in a state of "automatic healing."
No matter how severe the injury, it would only take an instant to recover.
At this moment, Huyi Xuan Yue held onto the tongue that hadn't retracted in time, preparing to tear it apart.
However, the tongue that had pierced through suddenly coiled back at a speed beyond his imagination, wrapping him up even tighter than before, binding him in several layers of coils.
In this instant, Huyi Xuan Yue recalled a video he had once seen in super slow motion, where a toad's tongue shot out and coiled back with an insect in its grasp.
Just as he had expected.
The true killing move—the Great Toad Sage retracted its tongue in an instant, intending to digest Huyi Xuan Yue completely into its stomach.
Everything happened too fast.
Just as Huyi Xuan Yue was about to be swallowed by the Great Toad Sage, he had no intention of testing what special evolution the toad's stomach might have undergone under the influence of its thousand-year-old senjutsu. He didn't want to find out why the toad was so confident in swallowing him.
In an instant!
Huyi Xuan Yue's body turned into mud, flowing quickly through the gaps in the toad's tongue and out.
As the Great Toad Sage fully retracted its tongue...
A portion of the mud that had fallen to the ground outside quickly gathered together, reforming into Huyi Xuan Yue's true body.
Huyi Xuan Yue made a quick hand seal, and the mud that was still stuck on the toad's tongue suddenly exploded.
Boom!
A thick cloud of smoke burst out from the Great Toad Sage's mouth.
Feeling the pain, its massive body couldn't help but shudder a few times.
Earth Release! It was another bloodline limit that Huyi Xuan Yue had accidentally developed over the past two years, though he hadn't used it much until now.
After giving the Great Toad Sage a surprising taste of its own medicine, Huyi Xuan Yue seized the opportunity to turn the tables. Without hesitation, he moved swiftly, appearing in front of the Great Toad in an instant.
Huyi Xuan Yue extended his palm.
Time seemed to freeze.
The howling wind, the swirling dust and smoke, and even the massive form of the Great Toad Sage became insignificant in this moment.
All attention was focused on the small, pitch-black sphere that was rapidly taking shape in front of Huyi Xuan Yue's palm.
The Great Toad, feeling the pain in its mouth, sensed something.
It lowered its head and saw a black sphere, emitting the chakra aura of all seven attributes, floating harmlessly towards it with a faint buzzing sound.
"The Dao Seeking Jade!!!"
The Great Toad Sage's expression changed drastically as it immediately recognized the Dao Seeking Jade that had once hovered behind Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Toneri Otsutsuki, symbolizing the pinnacle of ninjutsu and possessing unparalleled destructive power.
For the first time in a millennium, the Great Toad Sage smelled the strong scent of death.
