The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 260 The Six Paths Immortal, the Heavenly Tree

"Why!"

Mei Terumi questioned him, each word distinct and hoarse.

She stared intently at the figure before her, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain.

The battle was a one-sided massacre from the very beginning. When she realized that Kirigakure had no chance of winning, she repeatedly proposed peace talks to the enemy and agreed to surrender.

But the demon before her seemed deaf, ignoring her words and relentlessly reaping every life until the entire upper echelons of the Hidden Mist were slaughtered.

Qin Ye slowly walked forward, carrying the blood-dripping Thousand Blades.

His cold, emotionless words came out: "I gave you a chance. And didn't you say you would fight to the death and never bow down? Why are you questioning me?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi's breath hitched, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a word of explanation.

Yes, she did say those words, but when she watched her close companions fall one by one, her resolve finally wavered.
But now, it's probably too late to regret it.
"It's too late to regret."

As if reading her thoughts, Qin Ye's voice rang softly in her ear.

Before anyone knew it, he was already standing in front of Mei Terumi.

The woman who had fought her way out of the Blood Mist had completely given up resisting. At this moment, she suddenly remembered the vow she had made years ago, and the comrades who had said they would change the Hidden Mist together.
unfortunately
She slowly closed her eyes, letting the cold blade slice across her slender neck.

Chi!
A beautiful, tragic head was tossed high into the air, tracing an arc, before the body, now unsupported, slowly collapsed to its knees, eventually merging with the corpses scattered on the ground.

At this point, all the high-ranking members of the Hidden Mist Sect were wiped out.

Qin Ye flicked the blood off the blade and sheathed it.

He didn't even glance at the corpses scattered on the ground before slowly disappearing into the shadows.

His mission is complete, and his promise has been fulfilled. Now it's up to Nagato himself.

If this can't unify the ninja world, then this piece of junk should just die.

In the days that followed, Qin Ye devoted all his energy to searching for the Seven-Tails.

He traversed remote mountains and forests, crossed swamps shrouded in poisonous fog, and finally discovered the resurrected Seven-Tails, Chongming, on a deserted island forgotten by the ninja world.

It was a huge beetle.

Its entire body is covered with a carapace that shimmers with a metallic luster, and its six translucent wings, which blot out the sky, gleam with seven colors in the sunlight. A giant tail covered with sharp spikes extends from its tail.

Six wings and a single tail, which makes seven.

When the Seven-Tails sensed Qin Ye's presence, it did not attack in a rage like the other tailed beasts. Instead, it flapped all six of its wings and turned to flee.

Clearly, it recognized Qin Ye.

Qin Ye could not let it escape. The Instant Shadow Killing Array was instantly deployed, and darkness engulfed it like a tide.

Seeing that it had nowhere to escape from the boundless darkness, the Seven-Tailed Fox let out an angry cry, its six wings vibrating violently with a piercing buzz, and charged towards Qin Ye with a desperate, all-or-nothing momentum.

However, the result was predictable.

Before long, the Seven-Tailed Fox's massive body crashed to the ground. Its once-proud carapace was now covered in cracks, most of its six wings were broken off, and green blood gushed from the wounds.

Whitey strode forward with elegant steps, its sharp claws easily piercing through Seven-Tailed Fox's carapace.

No longer needing to be sealed, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the tailed beast whole.

As the Seven-Tails' chakra was digested, Shiro's body began to undergo astonishing changes. Its tail emitted a dazzling light, and a ninth tail grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The nine enormous tails, like pillars supporting the heavens and the earth, danced wildly in the gale, radiating a suffocating pressure.

[The world's favorability has exceeded the critical threshold, currently above 90% and continuing to rise. Reaching 100% will result in leaving this world.]

[World Rune - Resolve, Reaching the Fusion Realm - In the process of fusion]

[The runic energy is injected and fed back, the world's will awakens, the 'Sky Tree' of this world grows, and those who receive the 'fruit' gain the qualification to climb.]

The world suddenly changed color!

The isolated island where Qin Ye was located suddenly began to tremble violently, as if an ancient behemoth was turning over underground.

The sea was turbulent, as if someone was shaking the ocean, creating towering waves that crashed down with a deafening roar.

This is not a localized phenomenon; the entire ninja world is experiencing an unprecedented upheaval. Mountains are shifting, rivers are changing course, and even the air is humming under the strain.

In the very center of this world, a gleaming ancient tree bursts forth from the earth. Its trunk grows wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching straight into the sky with an endless height.

The tree canopy spread out and blocked out the entire sky, truly a tree that blotted out the sun.

At this moment, all living beings in the entire ninja world seemed to be put on pause, all stopping their movements and staring blankly up at the divine tree that stretched from the sky to the earth.

Some people even knelt down, believing that a miracle had occurred.

In a corner of the ninja world, an old man dressed in white, with magatama and whirlpool symbols printed on his clothes, suddenly appeared.

He looked up at the gleaming Tree of Heaven, his staff trembling slightly, and for the first time, shock appeared in his eyes.

This old man is none other than the Sage of Six Paths, the supreme god revered throughout the ninja world.

He was aware of everything that had happened in the ninja world, but those were mundane matters of the world, and he couldn't interfere. He just hadn't expected it to cause such a commotion.

"It seems there are still many secrets in this world that I don't know."

The Sage of Six Paths knew better than anyone that this was not a simple change in the heavens and earth, but a manifestation of the fundamental will of the world.

What unsettled him even more was that within the energy channels of that divine tree, he sensed a power that transcended the chakra system—a power that was more ancient and pure.
This power can change the world, or it can destroy it.

The Sage of Six Paths sighed, his gaze somewhat laboriously shifting from the Babel Tree to the distant overseas.

He didn't know the cause of the event, but he knew who had caused the strange phenomenon.

A deserted island overseas.

Having experienced similar scenarios twice before, Qin Ye did not show much surprise at the appearance of the Tongtian Tree.

This is simply another manifestation of the Path to Heaven and the Gate to the Void.

At this moment, the feedback from the world's will is continuously strengthening his life.

With the fusion of the Resolute Rune, his physical strength is increasing at an astonishing rate. With each heartbeat, his muscle fibers are being rewoven and his bone density is increasing exponentially.

At this moment, the towering tree canopy shook violently, and several golden streaks of light fell like shooting stars.

One of them flew in from the horizon and, defying the laws of physics, appeared directly in his hand.

Qin Ye looked closely and saw that it was a fruit that shimmered with golden light. It looked like an apple, but its skin was covered with mysterious patterns. Each pattern seemed to be breathing and flickering.

The moment he received this thing, a piece of information was immediately imprinted into his consciousness.

This is a gift from the tree; possessing fruit qualifies one to climb the towering tree.

This thing is incredibly precious to the creatures of this world, and its significance is self-evident; it wouldn't be surprising if a world war broke out over it.

But for him, an 'outsider' who didn't need to climb the Tree of Heaven, it had another use.

He picked up the fruit and swallowed it in a few bites.

Qin Ye smacked his lips. To be honest, it didn't taste like anything.

He felt a surge of energy flowing into his entire body, and golden light rushed through his blood vessels, making the cells in his path cheer with joy.

In the past, he would have been overjoyed to receive such a blessing, but after being tempered by the Blade Master and now receiving a strong amplification from the fusion, he has become calm and composed.

A thorough integration would take time, so Qin Ye didn't choose to go anywhere else.

He found a crooked tree, sat down on the ground, closed his eyes to rest, and quietly waited for the time to come when he would leave this world. However, his eyes had just closed when they suddenly opened again.

Suddenly, the air three zhang ahead distorted without warning, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

It was an old man in white robes, sitting cross-legged in the void, with a staff placed horizontally on his lap, and nine jade ornaments faintly visible in his robes.

Clang——

Upon seeing this figure, Qin Ye immediately stood up. The trembling sound of his Thousand Blades being drawn tore through the silence, and a tangible crimson aura of blood emanated from him, while crimson arcs of electricity danced at his fingertips.

The Sage of Six Paths gave Akare a deep look, then revealed a gentle smile:

"Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm."

Qin Ye remained silent, while Chi Lei clung to Qian Ren, leaning slightly forward, ready to strike at any moment.

He knew very well who the old man in front of him was.

If Madara Uchiha's normal combat power is 10, and it becomes 100 after activating Susanoo, then the combat power of the person in front of us is 10000.

It's no exaggeration.

Legend has it that this person created the moon in this world.

Such a person appeared out of nowhere in front of him, especially after he had annihilated the other party's nine pets.

This forced him to be on guard.

Seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths floated back slightly to show that he had no ill intentions.

He didn't mince words and asked directly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're not from this world, are you? Did that towering tree grow because of you?"

Qin Ye said, "You could say that."

His answer was ambiguous.

The Sage of Six Paths didn't press for details, but instead asked a new question: "Young friend, where does this tree lead?"

"The void, a much larger place." Qin Ye didn't hide anything; it wasn't a secret.

“Void.” The Sage of Six Paths murmured to himself, then suddenly smiled meaningfully: “Thank you for your explanation. I hope we can meet again someday.”

After saying this, the Sage of Six Paths vanished like a bubble.

Beneath the towering tree a thousand miles away, the old man's figure solidified once more. He gazed up at the tree trunk that reached the sky, with nine Seeking the Dao Jade slowly rotating behind him.

Qin Ye glanced at the endless canopy of trees and sat back down under the crooked tree.

Sunrise and sunset, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

[World's favorability has reached 100%. You will be removed from this world in 60 seconds.]

[World Rune - Resolve, Fusion Complete (100% Compatibility)]

Having completed the fusion, Qin Ye unhesitatingly poured all the life essence he had accumulated into it.

In an instant, a tremendous force surged into this body, the bones crackled and popped like popping beans, and the muscle fibers writhed and expanded like living things, only to compress and solidify in an instant.

Beneath his skin, a metallic sheen subtly shimmered, and every inch of his muscle contained explosive power.

What's most astonishing is the vitality emanating from his body, so intense it's almost tangible.

Even the saintly body tempered by the Six Treasures Immortal Thief paled in comparison to this vitality.

The hidden injuries left from opening the Eight Gates were washed away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

If the physique before the fusion was that of a greyhound, then now it is a pure muscle king!

[Introduction: Even though the enemies are numerous, they can all be killed with one strike!]

Qin Ye clicked his tongue, feeling a pang of regret. Nearly 8000 units of life essence had only resulted in a 30% increase.

But then he thought about it again, and his eyes lit up. If a mere 30% increase had such an amazing effect, what would happen if it reached 100%? It would be like flying!

At that time, wouldn't he be able to roam freely in the void?

Qin Ye clenched his fist, and the air compressed in his palm, producing a loud popping sound.

The surge of power within him made the corners of his mouth involuntarily turn up.

With the mastery of blades in attack, the unwavering resolve of the body, and other innate skills, he has now become a true all-around warrior.

Even the Bone-Eating Clan's Transcendent Realm expert, he is now absolutely confident in killing him.

The 60 seconds passed quickly, and Qin Ye felt a darkness before his eyes, his consciousness rapidly sinking.

Unlike before, this time he remained fully conscious. He could clearly sense that he was inside the Floating Life Record, traveling at an unimaginable speed through a pitch-black space.

The speed was so fast, it was as if they were traveling through time and space, and they couldn't see their surroundings at all.

Unbeknownst to us, a bright light suddenly pierced the darkness.

Qin Ye narrowed his eyes, and when his vision returned, he found himself already above the market.

However, unlike before, he no longer had that transparent protective shield.

"Does this mean the Book of Life has approved of me?"

[The recorder has mastered two primordial runes; the new world can be opened at any time according to the recorder's will.]

[Do/Do not open a new world.]

Qin Ye decisively refused. His immediate priority was to confirm whether Bai Yuekui had arrived in the void.

Thinking this, he drifted toward the market dock.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

Before he could land completely, several dark figures suddenly shot out from all directions of the market and instantly surrounded him.

Looking around, all you could see were members of the Bone-Eating Clan.

And the person in the lead was none other than Zha Hui, a powerful expert at the Transcendent Realm!
Clearly, these guys had been waiting for him here.

"Hahaha!" Zha Hui grinned as he stood in mid-air, his face contorted with savage bone spikes and filled with smugness. "I knew I wasn't wrong. You little bastard, you're really alive. Drifting alone in the void for so long, you've got a tough life, but..."

He suddenly waved his hand, and the surrounding Bone-Eating Clan warriors immediately tightened their encirclement.

"I knew you'd come back! You lowly humans, where else can you go but the market? Today is your death day! I'll see who can save you this time!"

A chilling killing intent permeated the void, completely sealing off all escape routes.

Zha Hui's eyes flashed with ferocity; he vowed to tear this human brat who dared to kill his nephew to pieces!
