Chapter 424 Six Paths Earth-Exploding Heavenly Star VS Time-Dimensional Mirage

The same is true!

As the Six Paths Yin-Yang Power in Sasuke and Naruto's palms lit up, an invisible force spread outwards, turning the space into a chaotic void. Li Yao's Flying Thunder God Technique had no effect; he did not teleport away.

It's sizzling!

Li Yao's eyes widened instantly, but there was no time to think or react. Driven by his survival instinct, Li Yao's mind raced and subconsciously used the ninjutsu that he felt could save his life in this situation.

Dark purple chakra flickered!

at the same time.

"Six Paths - Planetary Devastation!"

"Ninja Technique - Mirage of Time!"

The Six Paths Sealing Technique and Li Yao's space-time ninjutsu were used almost simultaneously.

An invisible spatial gravity node descended upon Li Yao in an instant, and streams of spatial power compressed into his body.

However... Li Yao's body became illusory in that instant, appearing to be right in front of him, but in reality, he could not be touched at all.

The violent spatial power gathered on Li Yao's illusory body, but it could not condense into a spatial gravity node to complete the final six Earth Explosion Star Sealing Technique.

At this moment, Li Yao was like the moon reflected in water, and the spatial power unleashed by the Six Paths Earth Explosion Heavenly Star Sealing Technique was like a wildly fluctuating stream of water.

While it may seem that Li Yao's reflection in the water was only partially affected by the turbulent currents, the real Li Yao remained completely unaffected.

"impossible!!!"

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

Inside the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths, who was floating cross-legged in the air, suddenly fell down, his hands supporting him on the ground as he knelt on the Pure Water. Ignoring his disheveled state, the Sage of Six Paths stared in shock at the scene reflected in the Pure Water.

"The Six Paths Earth Explosion Star Sealing Technique is clearly complete, so why hasn't the final seal been activated?"

The Sage of Six Paths spoke with disbelief.

That was improved by him over a thousand years, making it even more perfect and powerful than when he sealed his mother a thousand years ago; it was the strongest spatial sealing technique.

Given his mastery of spatial ninjutsu, it's impossible for Li Yao, this visitor from another world, to be superior to him.

Once the Six Paths Planetary Devastation is activated, the space is sealed, and even the most powerful space-time ninjutsu will be sealed and cannot be used.

Why was Li Yao, this visitor from another world, unaffected?

Could it be that his space-time ninjutsu is even more powerful than mine?

impossible!

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head.

If Li Yao's space-time ninjutsu were more powerful than his, Naruto and Sasuke would have been defeated long ago.

The opponent's space-time ninjutsu couldn't possibly be as powerful as his.

Could it be that the opponent's space-time ninjutsu is special?

The Sage of Six Paths then thought of something else.

Was his illusory figure inside the interlayer?

Or did he, like that Uchiha brat, transfer his body to another dimension?

The Sage of Six Paths thought a lot, but even if everything was as he thought, that level of space-time ninjutsu could not possibly break free from the spatial confinement!

The Sage of Six Paths was completely baffled.

He could see clearly that the power of the Six Paths Earth Explosion Star Sealing Technique had been activated, which meant that Li Yao had been locked on, but had not yet been marked with the spatial gravity node imprint to complete the final seal.

After the Six Paths Earth Explosion Star Sealing Technique was activated, the surrounding space was imprisoned, and Li Yao was unable to use spatial abilities at all, even in the interlayered space.

Logically speaking, Li Yao should not be able to escape the seal.

Li Yao's attempt to teleport was unsuccessful, indicating that his spatial ninjutsu was indeed affected.

But why?

As the Sage of Six Paths watched Li Yao's illusory figure being disrupted by the power of space, and the space power that had lost its target and was now raging, the expression in his eyes flickered uncertainly.

The Sage of Six Paths impulsively wanted to personally intervene and see how Li Yao managed to withstand the Six Paths Planetary Devastation Sealing Technique several times, but he suppressed his impulse each time.

"Now, all we can do is see if those two kids can continue to create miracles."

Liudao sighed, floated up again, sat cross-legged, and even closed his eyes. The image reflected on the clear water disappeared.

The Sage of Six Paths simply refused to see or think about Li Yao, forcibly stopping himself from thinking about him.

Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist taking action himself.

After all, he was a powerful figure who had traveled from another world. The Sage of Six Paths was very interested in the chakra on his body and his ability to travel between worlds, especially the Dragon Vein Chakra.

Dragon veins have existed since ancient times, and even the Sage of Six Paths himself once pursued them.

However, the dragon vein seems to have its own consciousness; it doesn't allow anyone to see it, so no one can find it.

A thousand years ago, his mother was sealed away. The Sage of Six Paths wanted to revive his lover and restore the destroyed land. He first learned about the time characteristics of the dragon veins from the toads of Mount Myōboku. He then thought of using the time characteristics of the dragon veins to restore the land to its state before the destruction, hoping to pull his lover out of the river of time.

He traveled the entire world but still couldn't find the dragon vein.

For thousands of years, people have entered and left the Loulan Kingdom from time to time, but when people go to search for it, the Loulan Kingdom has become a ruin.

Time and space are unpredictable and no one can control them.

However, now, through Kurama's chakra, the Sage of Six Paths discovered that Li Yao, this visitor from another world, had actually bypassed the power of the dragon veins and used his own power to come to his world. How could this not pique the interest of the Sage of Six Paths?

He wanted to seal Li Yao away so that he could keep Li Yao in this world forever for his research, to see if he could find the power to travel between worlds from Li Yao and use it for his own purposes.

It's just a pity that the opponent's space... no, perhaps it's not space, but space-time ninjutsu.

The Sage of Six Paths suddenly opened his eyes, and he suddenly realized something.

Li Yao was able to remain unaffected by the Six Paths Planetary Devastation Sealing Technique not because his space-time ninjutsu was stronger than his own, but because Li Yao used a true space-time ninjutsu, a ninjutsu that contained both time and space.

Therefore, the Six Paths Planetary Devastation Sealing Technique, which can only seal space, was ineffective against Li Yao and had no effect on time-based ninjutsu, which led to the failure of the seal.

"That's right, exactly!"

"Li Yao..."

A look of greed rose in the Sage of Six Paths' eyes, after all, that was a space-time ninjutsu.

But just as he couldn't resist the urge to take action himself, a pair of starry eyes from the depths of his memory instantly extinguished the greed in his eyes.

"Forget it, we've endured this for a thousand years, there's no need to take risks now."

The Sage of Six Paths' eyes dimmed. He shook his head and closed his eyes.

This time, the Sage of Six Paths completely let go of his greed for Li Yao and no longer wanted anything related to Li Yao.

at this time.

In the real world.

Boom!

A loud explosion occurred.

The violent spatial power that had been unable to locate Li Yao's true form suddenly exploded, sending Naruto and Sasuke flying three kilometers away to the ground.

Thump, thump, thump... The two of them slammed into the ground, creating several large craters, before finally stopping.

puff puff!

As soon as they stopped, the two people, who were enveloped by the Nine-Tails' chakra and Susanoo, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The power of space erupted, its force penetrating the protection of the Nine-Tails and Susanoo to attack their internal organs. If it weren't for the fact that both of them had Six Paths level chakra protecting them, they would have exploded when the power of space swept over them.

Although they survived, both of them suffered severe physical injuries.
