Chapter 628 The End of Evolution
"I was outmaneuvered by my own technique, Susanoo!"
Madara Uchiha looked up at the giant planet Chibaku Tensei in the sky, which was still frantically devouring everything, and a dangerous upturn appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Blue chakra surged from his body, and the armor of Susanoo climbed up layer by layer. It was no longer a skeleton, no longer half a body, but shoulder armor, chest armor, helmet, and arm armor, which rapidly condensed and took shape around his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
To be honest, Madara Uchiha didn't originally need to go to such an extent with Nagato's Chibaku Tensei.
All that is needed is to activate the second stage of Susanoo, condense the Yasakani no Magatama and throw it, and it will be destroyed before the core gravity reaches the irreversible critical point.
But an unexpected situation occurred. Someone used a golden chakra lightsaber to cleave his Heavenly Obstruction Star in two right in the middle.
The cleaved meteorite fragments fell into the absorption range of the Earth-Exploding Star's core and were completely swallowed up by the small black sphere.
After absorbing the Heavenly Meteor, the Earth Explosion Star far exceeded the original limit that Nagato could create. Its core had expanded into a small satellite in the sky, and its gravity was so strong that the ground beneath his feet began to crack, with debris flying upwards against the current.
This is beyond what can be resolved with a two-stage Susanoo.
"I never imagined that they would go to such lengths with anyone other than Hashirama."
Madara Uchiha's voice came from the prism on the forehead of Susanoo. The complete Susanoo was fully formed around him. The chakra giant, which was a hundred meters tall, stood on the ruins of Konoha. It had wings on its back and a giant sword at its waist. The wings slowly unfolded, and the wingspan covered the sky. Each flap of the wings stirred up a gale that was enough to blow people away.
"However, since the point is to enjoy the battle, I don't care what the map looks like."
The 100-meter-tall Susanoo slowly drew the blue giant sword, also formed from chakra, from its waist. The blade emitted a low hum as it sliced through the air, and the light flowing across the sword turned the surrounding clouds into a bleak blue.
Then it gripped the sword hilt with both hands, raised the giant sword high above its head, aimed at the still expanding planet in the sky, and swung the sword down.
"boom--!!!"
A cataclysmic explosion erupted in the sky. The moment the blue greatsword's blade collided head-on with the core of the planet Earth-Shattering Heaven, the entire world was silenced.
All sound was sucked out in those fractions of a second, and then the sound suddenly burst back with a force a hundred times stronger than before!
The explosion's light turned the entire sky a blinding pure white, and the shockwave spread outward in a ring from the point of impact, tearing the clouds to shreds, uprooting trees on distant mountains, and illuminating the entire ruins of Konoha as if it were daytime.
That sword strike cleaved the Earth Explosion Star, which had absorbed the remnants of the Heavenly Obstruction Star, in two from head to toe.
However, just as the complete Susanoo unleashed its devastating sword strike, before the sword's momentum had fully subsided, a massive, golden ocean of sand suddenly surged up from the ground!
The sea of sand covering the entire battlefield surged towards Madara Uchiha's complete Susanoo from all directions, climbing up along Susanoo's ankles, knees, and waist, leaving behind layers upon layers of ever-thickening sand bindings wherever it went.
Madara Uchiha stood in the mirror on the forehead of Susanoo, looking towards the source of the sand flow.
In the air, a red-haired youth carrying a giant sand gourd stood on a floating solid sand, his arms outstretched, intently controlling the sand waterfalls that surged from the ground toward Susanoo.
Madara Uchiha glanced at this face before the battle began; it belonged to one of the Akatsuki members, a Sand Village ninja standing next to that Hyuga brat.
"Hmm? This sand actually has a sealing effect?"
Madara Uchiha was originally prepared to unleash his chakra directly to blast all the sand away.
But as soon as the chakra was released from his body, he realized something was wrong. Controlling the chakra of Susanoo became incredibly difficult, enveloped in sand.
Madara Uchiha immediately realized that this was not an ordinary sand binding technique; the sealing techniques mixed in the sand were interfering with the flow of Susanoo's chakra.
"call--!!"
A massive flame suddenly swept up from the ground and engulfed the complete Susanoo, which was surrounded by a sea of sand.
The orange-red flames did not indiscriminately burn Susanoo's entire body, but instead spread along the surface of the sand. The flames and sand intertwined, and the high temperature instantly evaporated the moisture in the sand. The structure between the sand grains began to undergo a qualitative change under the scorching heat.
On the ground, a purple half-body chakra demon god, Susanoo, had already materialized beside Uchiha Izuna. He activated his Susanoo, and the flames spewing from the gaps in the purple demon god's armor were the only variable he controlled, directing the sand binding onto his brother.
Gaara stood on the floating sand platform, his brow furrowing sharply. At the same moment the flames engulfed the sand, he decisively released his grip on it.
After the flames subsided, the sand on Madara Uchiha's Complete Susanoo was burned beyond recognition.
The originally golden and supple sand layer turned into a charred and cracked hard shell, solidifying piece by piece on the surface of Susanoo's armor, losing its original flexibility and binding force.
Madara Uchiha controlled the Complete Body Susanoo to rotate its shoulders, and the charred sand shell shattered like dried mud, falling off the hundred-meter-tall chakra giant with a crackling sound, crashing to the ground and breaking into piles of black slag.
"Brother! Are you alright?"
At the same moment that Izuna Uchiha deactivated his Susanoo, he activated the Body Flicker Technique and was standing next to Madara Uchiha in the next second.
"Yes, well done, Izuna."
Madara Uchiha turned around first and gave his younger brother a concise yet weighty affirmation of his support.
Then he turned his gaze back to the red-haired sand manipulator in the sky, and the Hyuga clan brat beside him.
More than the sand mixed with sealing techniques, Madara Uchiha was now concerned about something else. Was that the golden chakra light sword that had just cleaved through the Heavenly Meteor Strike used by this guy?
"This chakra is absolutely correct."
Madara Uchiha's tone held no panic or wariness, but rather a predatory interest. "This is the first time I, Madara Uchiha, have ever seen your eyes with my own eyes."
That chakra texture, that form of condensing light into a physical sword blade, was neither like Yin Release nor Yang Release; it was a power independent of the Five Elements.
Neji Hyuga was standing next to Gaara on a piece of specially condensed floating sand, side by side with him.
Neji's expression was very solemn. His eyes, which were originally pure white, now had a blue sclera in his right eye, like the deep blue of the ocean floor that is never exposed to sunlight. The pupil itself was an even deeper blue, and around the pupil, a white ripple was slowly spreading, like the corona around the sun that never dissipates.
Tenseigan – the ultimate form of Byakugan.
"What's the name of that eye?" Madara Uchiha's voice came from Susanoo, carrying a condescending and scrutinizing tone.
"I don't recall those narrow-minded guys having those eyes."
The "stubborn fools" he was referring to were the Hyuga clan.
Although the Hyuga clan's history is comparable to that of the Uchiha clan, in Madara Uchiha's eyes, this clan was never worthy of his attention.
The deeply rotten rules between the main family and the branch family, which, in order to maintain the so-called foundation of the family, did not hesitate to lock the talents of their clansmen generation after generation in the Caged Bird Seal, and those Byakugan eyes that could only take advantage of the weak and could never keep up with the evolution speed of the Sharingan.
He looked down on the Hyuga clan from beginning to end.
"...Staying still...what?"
Gaara stood on the floating sand, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly not understanding what Madara Uchiha had said.
"It refers to those who cling to the old ways and refuse to progress. Fools who wouldn't care if their entire family remained weak forever for the sake of stability. Didn't your parents teach you that when you were a child?"
Uchiha Izuna stood beside Madara and calmly provided the answer for Gaara.
