Phoenix vs. Gedo Statue
The moment the Gedo Statue appeared, the Fire Phoenix's flames surged forward. The Phoenix's flames instantly engulfed the colossal Gedo Statue! Uchiha Madara seized the opportunity to quickly retreat, moving away from the enveloping inferno.
Strange, piercing sounds emanated from within the flames, sounding like roars of anger or tormented howls; in short, they were horrifying! The battle on this side immediately drew the attention of most people across the entire battlefield. Everyone watched as a tall, shadowy figure twisted and turned within the massive flames.
"What is that? Why have I never seen it?"
"I don't know, it looks incredibly ugly. Compared to the Commander's Fire Phoenix, that thing is like a piece of junk!"
"I've seen it in some ancient books. This thing seems to be called the Gedo Statue! It can only be made by gathering the power of all Tailed Beasts!"
"Collecting all Tailed Beasts? No, our Kazekage-sama is the Jinchuriki of the One-Tail, Shukaku, and the One-Tail is still within his body! How could Uchiha Madara have collected all Tailed Beasts?"
"Yeah, our village's Tailed Beast Jinchuriki is alive and well."
"I don't understand..."
As everyone discussed, the Fire Phoenix's Karmic Flames slowly receded. The Gedo Statue, having been engulfed in flames, reappeared before everyone. But at this moment, the Gedo Statue looked like a charred piece of charcoal, appearing incredibly miserable! Of course, no one believed the Gedo Statue had actually died from this fire. In fact, it was true; although the Gedo Statue was severely burned, its fundamental being hadn't been destroyed!
The Fire Phoenix chirped a few times, seemingly displeased with its incomplete success.
"Bring that fire bird down for me, before it dies!" Madara commanded the Gedo Statue. The Gedo Statue heard this order and immediately began to carry it out. Its ten arms waved, reaching to grab the Fire Phoenix in the sky. When the Fire Phoenix saw this, a sullen look appeared in its noble eyes! Evidently, it was not pleased with the Gedo Statue's actions!
However, Finn did not let the Fire Phoenix continue its attack. Instead, he ordered it to retreat momentarily. Facing the Gedo Statue's assault, Finn decided to act himself!
Finn's Ultimate Sword: Immortal Unity
"Sword!" Finn's palm reached towards the empty sky. Behind him, an Energy Sky Sword suddenly soared upwards, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before descending into Finn's hands. The moment this energy sword was grasped by Finn, it suddenly erupted in golden light! The golden light surged skyward, instantly reaching a height of over ten stories. Immediately afterward, the golden light expanded horizontally, becoming thicker!
Those standing close by only perceived this golden light as a heaven-piercing beam. However, only those at a distance could clearly discern the true shape of this beam of light: it was a colossal, sky-reaching golden giant sword! This was the first time Finn had wielded such a powerful sword! Especially now that Finn was in his Eight Gates Activated state!
"Expansion Jutsu!" With a silent incantation in Finn's heart, his figure instantly grew dozens of times in size! At this moment, Finn was like a true giant. Only a giant like him was worthy of this sky-reaching giant sword!
The Gedo Statue, seeing the Fire Phoenix retreat, let out a dull roar, then extended its ten arms to grab Finn!
"Just in time!" The corner of Finn's mouth curled into a sneer. He slowly lifted the giant sword in his hand. The movement looked incredibly slow, yet it gave observers a strange illusion. It was undeniably slow, but it also seemed incredibly fast! Every movement of Finn was clearly visible, yet his upward sword motion always remained ahead of the Gedo Statue's movements!
When Finn had raised this colossal, high-energy sword into the air, he slowly articulated a few words: "Sword Immortal Profound Truth, Immortal Unity!"
Suddenly, the giant energy sword trembled with a buzzing sound, emitting bursts of humming. For a moment, countless rays of light bloomed from the blade of this giant sword! It was as if the Tathagata Buddha's Light had been unleashed, like a thousand rays of light shining upon the earth! It made everyone present shield their eyes from the dazzling golden light, feeling an overwhelming urge to kneel and worship!
And when the Gedo Statue felt this golden light, it truly emitted a furious roar, as if wanting to tear its opponent apart! That was anger from the very depths of its being!
"Interesting..." Seeing the Gedo Statue's reaction, Finn voiced his thoughts, a thoughtful expression in his eyes. The anger displayed by the Gedo Statue was clearly beyond a reasonable range, like it was facing an ancient enemy.
This was unusual. Theoretically, immortals kill demons and goblins! They suppress the evil spirits of demons with the golden light of immortals! But the Gedo Statue...
Huh? Heretics... right!
Yes! This Gedo Statue was also a demon! And the Sage of Six Paths was a sage! In ancient times, the Gedo Statue was suppressed by the Sage of Six Paths! Therefore, the Gedo Statue harbored an intense, deep-seated anger towards the sages! And now, Finn was also a "sage"! Although he wasn't the Sage of Six Paths, the immortal aura emanating from this Heavenly Energy Immortal Sword couldn't be faked!
Finn understood now. "Interesting. I don't know if it's coincidence or fate, but it seems you are destined to die at my hands, just like the demon of old!" Slightly shaking his head, Finn smiled lightly, then slowly moved his wrist and chopped down the energy sword in his hand towards the Gedo Statue in front of him.
Rumbling~ It was like an Optimus Prime falling down; that kind of destructive momentum was incomparably majestic! The Gedo Statue let out an angry howl, thrusting all ten of its arms towards the Energy Fairy Sword!
On the entire battlefield, everything came to a halt! Everyone watched the towering Energy Sword clash with the Gedo Statue! When the Energy Fairy Sword touched the Gedo Statue, those ten arms snapped instantly! Afterward, the golden light invaded the Gedo Statue's arms unhindered, like an unstoppable army. The golden light illuminated this ugly, ancient tree very brightly! It also revealed the frightened and unwilling expression on its face...
