Chapter 605: Sun Crucible: Activation!
Chapter 605: Sun Crucible: Activation!
"That's a bit too big, isn't it!"
Looking up at the distant Rock Golem Toad, Tang Ping whispered in awe.
Ribbit! The Rock Golem Toad puffed out its cheeks and let out a sound.
"This is..."
Tang Ping sensed something amiss.
Illusion?
Its sheer size was already intimidating enough, and now it could even use illusions?
It seemed like they didn't care about their image at all.
But this illusion didn't seem to have any effect, so he didn't pay it much mind.
"Don't think you're so great just because you're big!"
By now, Tang Ping had repaired the damage to his Zhu Rong Incarnation and was ready to continue fighting.
"Kill it, Divine Gun!"
He aimed the Heavenly Gathering Cloud Sword at the Rock Golem Toad.
But with such a commotion, how could the Toad Hermit, or the Toad Immortal, standing atop the Rock Golem Toad's head, not notice? He reacted immediately.
"Divine Art: Toad Mantle!"
With a slap of its webbed hand, a nearly tangible natural energy spread from its body onto the Rock Golem Toad below.
Indeed, the light that had given Tang Ping a headache was called by that name.
It seemed like everyone had a similar naming sense.
Tang Ping had Flame Robe and Thunder Armor, while his opponent used Toad Mantle.
Buzz!
The Rock Golem Toad, enveloped by the Toad Mantle, had its body pierced by the extending sharp blades bit by bit.
The seemingly thin light was incredibly resilient, showing no signs of being pierced.
"Tsk, doesn't work?"
Tang Ping muttered to himself.
He was well aware that the Toad Immortal could only achieve this because they were in the Forest of Death, where they had access to an infinite supply of natural energy.
If this were outside, the Divine Art would drain the opponent's Immortal Technique Chakra.
Toad Mantle + Rock Golem Toad + Infinite Natural Energy!
It was an unbeatable combination.
As long as the attack limit couldn't break through the opponent's defense, it was impossible to defeat them.
With this in mind, he stopped controlling the Heavenly Gathering Cloud Sword and directly dispelled the Divine Technique.
"Is this your Forest of Death's trump card?"
Tang Ping's voice echoed from within the dark golden armored warrior.
The Toad Immortal, or Toad Hermit, confidently replied,
"Not bad. Even the White Snake in the Dragon Ground Cavern has been repelled multiple times!"
The 'White Snake' he referred to was, of course, the 'White Snake Sage'.
And with snakes overpowering toads!
Being able to repel the opponent's attacks showed the strength of this combination.
"Do you think this will stop me?"
Tang Ping's voice remained confident.
"You have no chance of winning. If you retreat now, out of respect for Young Jiraiya and Konoha, I'll let you off if you hand over the Hot Springs. The Forest of Death won't pursue this matter any further!"
The Toad Hermit offered a 'generous' condition.
In his eyes, this condition was indeed generous enough.
As long as they didn't ask for the 'Holy Land', he was even willing to let go of the casualties caused by their attack on the Forest of Death.
Even if this decision might puzzle the Forest of Death's higher-ups, he had no other choice.
Because the Shinobi World was, after all, a world of shinobi.
He had learned this from the time that woman descended and swept away his kind, so he assisted the Six Paths Sage in establishing the Shinobi Sect, later guiding the Shinobi World through prophecies instead of taking center stage.
"A good offer!" Tang Ping appeared atop the Zhu Rong Incarnation, facing the distant Toad Immortal, and resolutely said, "But today, we will not only decide the victor but also our lives!"
Yes, this time, he wasn't leaving himself a way out.
There was only one chance! If he couldn't succeed, he might as well just lie down and let the Prince of the Leaf and the Two Pillars 'save the world'. Why bother trying?
"Is that so?"
The Toad Immortal heard Tang Ping's determination in his gaze and tone, and gave the order.
"Go, Little Rock Golem!"
The Rock Golem Toad had grown up under his watch, so this name was quite normal.
However, given its size, the name did have a humorous ring to it.
Boom, boom!
The Rock Golem Toad didn't have the ability to reduce its weight, and even its normal movements seemed to shake the earth.
This also explained why it was so mysterious in the original storyline.
Swish!
A pair of dark golden wings sprouted from Tang Ping's back, giving him an incredible boost in presence.
Sun Blaze Wings!
This was also his ultimate trump card.
Even during the Konoha Crush, he hadn't dared to test it.
It was too dangerous!
If he were to use it, he couldn't guarantee he could control it 100%.
"A frog in a well knows nothing of the ocean's grandeur, nor the vastness of the starry sky!"
Tang Ping's wings unfurled, lifting him into the sky.
At this moment, he was most grateful for the sunlight that bathed the sky.
His ultimate move was most effective in the Forest of Death, and its power would be greatly diminished in places like the Dragon Ground Cavern and the Wet Bone Forest.
'What is he trying to do?'
The Great Toad Immortal naturally witnessed Tang Ping's actions but couldn't fathom how the opponent could turn the tables at this point.
After using the Sun Blaze Wings, Tang Ping's strength and overall abilities skyrocketed.
To put it simply, his fire control!
If before, he could control flames of the highest temperature, which were orange and over 3,000 degrees, now he could directly control 'blue' flames.
At this color, the temperature reached 6,000 to 7,000 degrees.
Note that using this temperature for Fire Style techniques was equivalent to a qualitative change in his strength.
Even the Wooden Man and Wooden Dragon could be ignited by Tang Ping with this flame.
Techniques like Flame Robe, Flame Finger, Heavenly Gathering Cloud Sword, and others related to fire would have their destructive power qualitatively enhanced.
Moreover, it wasn't just his fire control that improved; his chakra reserves also increased by several hundred chakra points.
Since the Extraordinary Organ was like his own body and not an external object, this chakra could be considered part of himself.
In other words, Tang Ping's chakra limit had increased from over a hundred points to several hundred points, along with astonishing defense and flight capabilities.
Hence, the Sun Blaze Wings provided an over-the-top boost to his abilities.
An unreasonable enhancement! And this enhancement was based on his foundation; the stronger the base, the greater the improvement.
In a few years, when this body reached its peak state, it might even be possible for him to challenge the Six Paths level.
The Six Paths level was invincible because it had a higher-level 'authority' over chakra.
However, Tang Ping had already started down a non-chakra path, and without the restriction of authority, the Six Paths level wasn't unbeatable.
As Tang Ping rose into the sky, the light in the Forest of Death dimmed.
Wait!
It wasn't that the light in the forest had faded; it was because all the sunlight that fell was converging around Tang Ping.
Do you remember the true power of his Sun Blaze Wings?
The Sun Crucible!
This ability was the real power of the Sun Blaze Wings, and everything else was just a bonus.
The effect of the Sun Crucible was evident from its name.
Using the sun as a crucible, he gathered sunlight for his use.
In simple terms, he compressed infinite sunlight with 'gravity' into a concentrated form, then used his fire control and energy manipulation abilities to directly transform this sunlight, or heat, into usable energy.
Normally, this would be impossible.
But Tang Ping's sealing technique was already at the pinnacle of the ninja world; for him, if he believed he could do it, he definitely could.
If someone like Chiyo could 'resurrect' and someone like Tobirama Senju could research space-time ninjutsu, then Tang Ping's 'Sun Crucible' was genuinely much simpler.
However, simplicity didn't mean weakness.
In terms of destructive power, his 'Sun Crucible' was absolutely terrifying.
Buzz!
If one observed the sky carefully, they would discover layer upon layer of invisible barrier light, like mirrors, converging the light towards the center.
The center being Tang Ping's location.
At this moment, he was immersed in an increasingly bright light, resembling a divine being.
Fortunately, he had the protection of the Flame Robe and Sun Blaze Wings, along with his own ability to control fire and heat, ensuring his safety.
The Great Toad Immortal naturally wouldn't let Tang Ping prepare smoothly, so he took action.
