Chapter 189: Killing the Sage of Six Paths, Dust Settles!
Chapter 189: Killing the Sage of Six Paths, Dust Settles!
According to his memory, Madara headed towards the location of the Sage of Six Paths.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Yi was hidden on the mark of Flying Flame God on Madara's body.
It wasn't that Uchiha Yi was afraid of the other's power; rather, he was concerned that the Sage of Six Paths might run away.
In that case, it would be very difficult to find someone who wanted to hide in this vast world.
Thus, for the sake of caution, such arrangements were made.
Not long after, Madara arrived in front of a luxurious palace.
Although he had never seen the Sage of Six Paths before, he had heard about him during his years in the Pure Land.
"Is there something you need, Uchiha Madara?"
Before Madara could enter, a deep voice came from inside.
Then, a strangely-looking man floated out from within.
He had two horns on his head, brown hair, wore a white robe, and held a Six Paths staff, with the Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him.
"You are the Sage of Six Paths!" Madara questioned in an unfriendly tone.
"That's right!"
"What brings you here?"
The Sage of Six Paths seemed unfazed by Madara's attitude and asked again without expression.
Curious himself, Madara suddenly wondered about his purpose for coming here.
"I want to know what the reincarnation of Indra is all about. Is it something you manipulated behind the scenes?"
Madara asked the Sage without hesitation, showing no fear of offending him.
"What does it matter if it's true or not!"
"The continuous reincarnation of Ashura and Indra is to prevent someone from releasing Kaguya Otsutsuki and endangering the ninja world at a critical moment!"
The Sage of Six Paths answered evasively, neither confirming nor denying. It was up to Madara's interpretation!
"I understand!"
"You can come out now!"
After hearing the words, Madara no longer had any doubts and felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.
No one liked being treated like that.
"What do you mean?"
Madara's last statement seemed puzzling, making the Sage of Six Paths immediately alert.
Uchiha Yi's figure slowly emerged from Madara's shoulder.
"It's you!"
Recognizing Uchiha Yi at a glance, after all, both of his sons had fallen at the hands of this person; it would be hard for the Sage of Six Paths not to know him.
From initially disregarding and underestimating Uchiha Yi, the Sage's attitude shifted to wariness.
Especially after witnessing his incredibly powerful Fire Release technique, which completely changed his understanding of Fire Release.
Originally, he had planned to prepare against Uchiha Yi's Fire Release before taking action against him.
Unexpectedly, Uchiha Yi had found him first.
This made him both angry and furious.
This Uchiha Yi simply did not take him seriously!
"Reincarnation Absolute Realm!"
Now that things had come to this point, Uchiha Yi had nothing more to say; he directly unleashed a Reincarnation Eye technique that trapped the Sage in a small dark room!
If you're a real man, then it's 1v1!
Let's decide victory and defeat, life and death!
"I didn't expect your strength to reach this level!"
"So this is where your confidence to come find me lies?"
"No wonder Ashura and Indra are no match for you!"
Looking at Uchiha Yi's double Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the Sage of Six Paths quickly understood why his two sons had lost.
"Old man, stop talking nonsense!"
"Only one person is allowed to leave here alive today!"
"Swastika Release: Remnant Fire Blade!"
"Burning Fruit Awakening!"
"Void Swallowing Flame: Endless Fire Domain!"
Although Uchiha Yi spoke lightly, he took it very seriously in his heart.
Moreover, his opponent's abilities had not been fully revealed even in the original plot.
And with the power to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki a thousand years ago, Uchiha Yi did not believe that the Sage's strength had not improved over the years.
Such an enemy warranted utmost caution.
With three powerful abilities released simultaneously within moments,
a scorching hell was instantly created, filled with flames!
As the caster, Uchiha Yi was fine; his fire resistance was maxed out and would not harm himself.
But for anyone else, it was an entirely different story.
The closer one got to Uchiha Yi, the more they felt the terrifying heat that could melt everything!
After loading multiple layers of Ice Attribute protection from the Six Paths technique, the Sage could barely withstand such damage.
"It seems your strength is not impressive either!"
"Then let's return to nothingness!"
"Remnant Fire Blade: East - Rising Sun Blade"
A flying flame leg quickly charged towards him as if teleporting.
In just a fraction of a second, he reached in front of the Sage.
With a reverse grip on the Remnant Fire Blade, he slashed down vertically.
Seeing this, the Sage instinctively reacted faster than his brain could process and hurriedly swung his Six Paths staff to intercept!
When facing the Remnant Fire Blade for the first time, one might mistakenly think it was a non-lethal blade that merely looked burnt and ugly.
Only when they were in close proximity did they realize how terrifying it truly was!
Fifteen million degrees of high-temperature flames condensed at the tip of this blade.
Anything touched by it would instantly turn into char!
That flimsy Six Paths staff felt like trying to touch a piece of paper compared to it.
"What?!"
When the Six Paths staff touched the Remnant Fire Blade, feeling no resistance shocked the Sage greatly!
With his Rinnegan realizing the blade was about to touch him, he hurriedly used space-time displacement to dodge.
However, due to their close distance, even though he avoided it, the extreme heat radiated from the blade still left his entire chest charred black!
"What terrifying Fire Release!"
At this moment, even the Sage had to acknowledge Uchiha Yi's Fire Release capability.
"But it's not over yet!"
"Fire Release: Heaven and Earth Fire Cage!"
Uchiha Yi didn't feel particularly disappointed that one slash hadn't killed his opponent; another killing move was already on its way.
As soon as the Sage distanced himself from him, Uchiha Yi secretly manipulated the Endless Fire Domain's Void Swallowing Flame to tightly encase the entire space.
Within this area, a fiery cage formed.
Coupled with the Void Swallowing Flame's attribute of devouring space,
the time-space ninjutsu possessed by the Sage became increasingly difficult to utilize.
The fire cage continued to shrink its range, step by step squeezing down on the Sage's movement space.
"Next up, let's conclude this with this move!"
"Remnant Fire Blade: South - Ten Billion Death Burial Array!"
With a reverse grip on the Remnant Fire Blade, he inserted its blade into the ground.
The blade's high temperature would awaken the ashes of those who died under Uchiha Yi's hands in the past and turn them into a blackened skeleton army that would relentlessly slaughter their perceived enemy—the Sage of Six Paths.
From then on, he would also become one among them!
"Sage Art: Yin Release Ice Soul God Technique!"
However, the Sage clearly wasn't going to do nothing.
He immediately activated his strongest Ice Release technique in an attempt to quell the surrounding flames!
Yet it had little effect!
In the end, he was directly devoured completely by Void Swallowing Flame!
As for his Rinnegan, Uchiha Yi chose not to remove it either.
This was also to prevent his opponent from hiding any other tricks; he didn't want to recklessly approach and risk falling into a trap.
Waiting for a while longer until he exited from the Reincarnation Absolute Realm space, Uchiha Yi finally dared to confirm that the Sage of Six Paths was truly dead.
Next, Uchiha Yi proceeded as before to find Kaguya Otsutsuki's brother—Yūri Otsutsuki.
Since he had killed the Sage of Six Paths, naturally his brother could not be left alive either.
Otherwise, according to this world's sibling logic, there was an 80-90% chance that Yūri Otsutsuki would harbor resentment towards him.
So it was safer to eliminate him outright.
All that remained were future members of the Otsutsuki clan yet to appear.
