I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 418 The Calm End of the Most Terrifying Tribulation

As if hearing Uchiha Yu's words, the first purple lightning bolt suddenly ended.

More violent fluctuations appeared on the Thunder and Water Sphere, the silver-white snakes surged in at an even faster speed, and the Thunder and Water Sphere continued to expand in size.

Clearly, an even more violent lightning strike is brewing.

Masayo Miwa, with her eyes closed, couldn't see any of this, but the tingling sensation caused by the electromagnetic waves sweeping across her body made her realize that the lightning strike to come would be even more intense.

The little girl quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and gripped her partner's right hand even tighter to prevent him from drifting away.

Beyond Miwa Masayo's perception, the air vibrations caused by the lightning strike gradually weakened as they spread, and the vibration frequency began to enter the range that the human ear could hear.

Rumble—!

A deafening explosion of thunder occurred, and water vapor in the air condensed into mist due to the change in air density, forming a beautiful sonic mist.

What's even more terrifying is that, along with the thunderous boom, depressions and bulges appeared simultaneously on the sea surface, with arcs that were either parallel or intersecting, and even interfering with each other to form beautiful interference waves.

The beautiful patterns vanished in just a few seconds, replaced by towering waves hundreds of meters high. Driven by an invisible force, the waves formed a ring and spread away from the center of the lightning tribulation.

This is the aftermath of the calamity. Compared to the power that directly affected Uchiha Yu's body, it is probably less than one percent, but it has already created a world-class disaster.

Even faster than the tsunami was the airburst gale. Like the tsunami, the gale rushed towards the other side of the world along a path completely opposite to that of the lightning serpent.

Uchiha Yu chose to initiate the lightning tribulation on the other side of the world with the intention of minimizing the threat to humanity, because disasters weaken rapidly with increasing distance, and the greater the distance, the less damage they cause.

However, he miscalculated one point without giving it serious thought: the world is a sphere. When the power of the natural disaster exceeds its limit, the shockwave and tsunami will cross a quarter of the planet's circumference and then overlap and focus on the other side of the planet.

Just like the tidal bore of the Qiantang River, the tsunami's waves will rise higher and higher, the wind speed will become stronger and stronger, and the power of the disaster will gradually approach its breaking point.

Four hours later, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was in the Land of Fire, felt the strong winds in the sky and foresaw that the winds, which were gathering in a ring, would focus on the Land of Wind and eventually form a terrifying tornado.

With climate change, the Land of Wind has become severely desertified, and the core of the human empire has naturally shifted to the Land of Fire. However, a large population still lives in the Land of Wind, and such a massive disaster will inevitably cause terrible casualties.

Moreover, the desertified Land of Wind is unable to absorb such a terrifying wind disaster. The massive tornado is very likely to break out of the Land of Wind's territory and threaten other more densely populated areas.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki could not accept this outcome. He stood up, flew into the sky, and unleashed his largest-scale Sage Art with all his might.

Heretic God Shinra Tensei

An unprecedentedly large repulsive force erupted, launching a counterattack against the surging storm.

The clash between the two catastrophic forces even dispersed the thunderclouds that had enveloped the entire world, allowing most of the Land of Fire to see a star-studded night sky.

The storm from the other side of the planet was stopped by Hagoromo Otsutsuki's sage technique, but the two enormous energies did not disappear into thin air. They transformed into hundreds or thousands of tornadoes on the spot, forming a wind belt that stretched for thousands of kilometers.

Although its power has been greatly reduced, thousands of tornadoes are still a terrible natural disaster.

However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who had just unleashed his power, was exhausted. He could only barely float in the air and was powerless to eliminate the secondary, but still massive, disaster.

He looked at his brothers and mother, pleading, "Help me, Hamura! Help me, Mother!"

Hamura Otsutsuki stepped forward and used all his strength to unleash the Sage Art: Wheel of Fortune, using a subtle combination of repulsive and attractive forces to swiftly eliminate all the tornadoes.

"Good job, little brother!"

After praising her younger brother, Hagoromo Otsutsuki finally couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Mother, why didn't you intervene? Isn't this your kingdom?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki rolled her eyes and said lazily, "Whether this is my country or your country is hard to say..."

"Besides, if you're this desperate in the first wave, will you have the ability to prevent the next disaster?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression changed drastically: "The first wave... Mother, do you mean there will be more disasters to come?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes on her forehead opened at some point, and she snorted coldly, saying, "This wave is not just a storm in the sky, but also a tsunami at sea. Moreover, I see that there are eight more waves of impact to come."

"Feather Robe, can you withstand this?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki lowered his head weakly and whispered, "I...can't do it."

He raised his head, looked at his mother, and pleaded, "Please, Mother, please save humanity."

"They, many of them are my and Hamura's children, they... are all your descendants."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki snorted coldly: "I know without you reminding me that they are indeed my descendants, but they are also descendants of those you've instilled in me, making them hate me and see me as your enemy!!"

"Hmph, if they weren't useful to me, I'd really like to just let them die!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed for a short time and had not yet been driven mad or corrupted by the torment; she remained a woman with a pure heart.

She uttered harsh words, but her red Rinnegan with tomoe was already mobilizing the power of the Divine Tree, and she even began to gather chakra before Hagoromo jumped up.

However, Kaguya's perception range was far greater than Hagoromo's. She observed the second wave of storms further away, and even the tsunami further away, and followed these waves of storms to find the source of it all.

She even sensed that super being and was awestruck by the dazzling life force that erupted after its advancement.

Kaguya Otsutsuki knew that the other party had completed the promotion, and therefore knew that there would be nine waves of disaster. She knew that she had to block all 18 impacts of the nine waves.

Knowing the whole story, she couldn't give it the same all as her son.

If such an apocalyptic disaster were to be stopped even once, Kaguya's kingdom would suffer heavy casualties, rendering all previous efforts meaningless.

She said coldly, "Compared to storms, tsunamis are actually easier to deal with. As long as I raise the land level along the coast, I can easily block them."

"As long as we can raise the elevation by one thousand meters, there will be absolutely no problem..."

Hagoromo and Hamura looked at each other in dismay. Raising the land by a thousand meters is only ten words in words, but it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

At least, the Otsutsuki brothers couldn't do that.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, as the Bloodstained Net, was able to do it, but it was by no means easy; she had to rely on the chakra provided by the Divine Tree to accomplish it.

The uplift of the land caused tremors throughout the continent, resulting in countless earthquakes caused by the fracturing of tectonic plates and the eruption of countless dormant and active volcanoes.

Major earthquakes and eruptions are natural disasters, causing deaths everywhere, and the number of deaths is enormous.

However, neither Hagoromo nor Hamura blamed their mother, because it was an absolutely necessary sacrifice; otherwise, many more people would have died.

After 14 minutes of tremors, the edge of the entire continent suddenly rose by a thousand meters, forming a breakwater to block the tsunami.

The ascent was too fast, and Kaguya Otsutsuki was so exhausted that her face turned pale. But she just took a deep breath and manipulated the Divine Tree to begin casting a spell.

The difference in fighting power between the Divine Tree and the Ten-Tails is enormous, and the Divine Tree's reaction speed is particularly poor.

However, the Divine Tree is not inferior in every aspect; at least its chakra reserves are far greater than those of the Ten-Tails form.

As long as it's not a battle where every second counts, Kaguya can unleash the maximum power of her spells through the Divine Tree, at least a hundred or a thousand times greater than when she uses them independently.

This is a qualitative difference.

Once the Divine Tree had accumulated enough chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki, with a thought, unleashed 360 Wind Release: Wind Blades centered on the Divine Tree, scattering outwards at a 1-degree angle.

The wind blade encountered the second wave of storms 3,000 kilometers away, cutting 360 huge gaps in the ring-shaped storm, and continued to rush towards the third storm.

The path of the wind blades leads to low-pressure areas. The low-pressure areas that are dragged backward on the shattered storm ring will naturally guide the storm to change direction and collide with each other in the low-pressure areas.

The entire storm ring disintegrated and transformed into a ring-shaped storm belt at sea.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was stunned by his mother's actions. He had never imagined that his clumsy mother could perform such exquisite maneuvers; it was simply breathtaking.

This was certainly not Kaguya Otsutsuki's skill, but rather one of the basic technologies that the Otsutsuki clan popularized among all its members for developing the New World.

After the failed war 700 years ago, Kaguya realized that as a member of the Otsutsuki clan, she was better suited to fight against the world as an adversary, rather than against an individual enemy like her own son.

Her talent doesn't lie in this area.

In fact, she had long wanted to show her sons her strength, to let them know how powerful their mother was, so that they would no longer have any thoughts of rebelling against her.

After all, only if his sons obeyed him could they become his allies rather than his hindrances when fighting against the enemies of the Otsutsuki clan.

Who knew that she would have to wait a full 700 years before the right opportunity came her way.

It has to be said, the effect is outstanding.

Both Hagoromo and Hamura were stunned. The deep-thinking Hagoromo even suspected that her mother had gone easy on her during the war 700 years ago.

He felt a deep sense of lingering fear, realizing that countless plans had been destroyed in an instant, and many more had been abruptly cut short.

Before figuring out just how powerful Kaguya Otsutsuki really was, Hagoromo Otsutsuki decided that he would never consider turning against his mother.

Kaguya Otsutsuki manipulated the Divine Tree and successfully countered the six waves of storms. She raised the breakwaters built along the coast and successfully withstood the six waves of tsunamis.

But she and the divine tree finally reached their limit and were no longer able to use world-class spells.

At this time, due to the large amount of seawater accumulated in front of the breakwater caused by the sixth wave of tsunami, the sea level had risen by hundreds of meters, and the height of the seventh wave of tsunami even exceeded that of the breakwater, which was over 1,000 meters high.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression changed drastically, and Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki also realized that the problem was serious.

At this point, the sea is like the mainland, with its surface height exceeding that of the land by hundreds of meters. Once a tsunami breaches the top of the breakwater, the breakwater may be eroded and breached.

Kaguya's technique was still too crude; when she forcefully raised the ground, she inevitably used too much force, resulting in huge cracks appearing all over the breakwater.

Under normal circumstances, breakwaters that are thousands of meters high and even more than ten kilometers thick are absolutely safe. Such large breakwaters can maintain their stability solely by their own mass.

However, when hundreds of meters of seawater appear outside the breakwater, the cracks inside the breakwater become a fatal hidden danger under enormous pressure.

The Otsutsuki family realized the seriousness of the problem, but they no longer had the strength to resist.

Just then, countless humans rushed onto the massive breakwater, using crude ninjutsu to raise and reinforce it, preparing to resist the sixth wave of the tsunami with their meager strength.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki sensed it only slightly and knew it was impossible; human power was too weak, and they simply couldn't stop a tsunami capable of encircling the world.

Just then, two figures appeared silently on the east coast of the Land of Fire. They were Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo, who had successfully survived their tribulations.

They stood atop a breakwater that was a kilometer high, marveling at the towering waves crashing in from not far away.

Uchiha Yu sighed, "Kaguya Otsutsuki's future performance misled me. Her strength was actually not bad, and her methods were not particularly terrible."

"It's truly remarkable that I've been able to weather this disaster until now and successfully overcome this tribulation."

Masayo Miwa nodded in agreement, "Yeah, that's impressive, meow. At least I couldn't do that, meow."

Uchiha Yu sighed, "She protected the vast majority of humanity and life, which was a huge help to me. I don't owe the world much, but I owe Kaguya a huge debt of gratitude."

He couldn't help but scratch his head and say, "How am I supposed to pay this back?"

Miwa Masase laughed, "Stop pretending, meow. Can a debt of gratitude be harder to repay than a sin, meow?"

"You've got a good grasp of Kaguya. Just find out what she wants and you can make it happen for her, meow."

Uchiha Yu stopped pretending and smiled sincerely, saying, "I know Kaguya doesn't want much, just to survive the pursuit of the Otsutsuki clan. Helping her deal with the Otsutsuki clan will definitely repay her favor."

Masayo Miwa exclaimed in surprise, "Deal with the Otsutsuki clan?"

"Yu, you seem to have gotten a little arrogant after your tribulation, meow. The Otsutsuki clan isn't so easy to deal with, meow."

"Wait, just how strong... am I, meow?"

Masase Miwa jumped up excitedly: "Haven't I become incredibly powerful, meow? Am I invincible now, meow?"

Uchiha Yu nodded and said, "Now I am invincible in the world, and I will show you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, palm up, slowly straightened his arm, then slowly turned his palm over and pressed down hard.

Suddenly, the giant wave that was rushing towards us disappeared, and the turbulent sea surface, covered with white foam, instantly became as calm as a mirror, and the sea level returned to its proper height.

Miwa Masayo was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth. She could handle a single wave, but she couldn't quell all the waves at once like this.

As for the idea of ​​lowering the sea level by hundreds of meters and restoring it to normal, the little girl never even considered it.

Through the natural energy that she was closely connected with, she also knew that her partner had not only flattened the sea in front of her, but had flattened the entire world's sea surface with a single palm strike, without even a ripple of a millimeter.

This is absolutely a miracle.

As Miwa Masayo was shocked by Uchiha Yu's immense power, she suddenly found herself approaching the sea. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the breakwater beneath her feet was silently descending.

She asked curiously, "Yu, are you going to press down this mountain too, meow?"

Uchiha Yu explained, "Silly Rinka-chan, this is a breakwater that encircles the entire continent. A height of one thousand meters is enough to intercept water vapor."

"If it's not suppressed, rainfall on the mainland will decrease by 99%, causing a great famine and mass extinction."

Miwa Masayo didn't understand and asked curiously, "But you didn't make this, meow. What does the Great Famine have to do with you, meow?"

Uchiha Yu explained helplessly, "I didn't build the breakwater. It was Kaguya Otsutsuki who built it to prevent the tsunami from hitting us. The tsunami was caused by the aftershocks of my tribulation."

He looked up to the sky and sighed, "Rika-chan, who do you think Heaven will blame for the great famine to come? Kaguya or me?"

Masayo Miwa stuck out his cute tongue and laughed, "Nobody else but you, meow."

"Hehe, no one else's head is as big as yours, it can't support such a big pot, meow."

When Uchiha Yu pressed down with his palm, not only was the ocean instantly calmed, but the turbulent atmosphere was also calmed down. The thousands of huge tornadoes formed after the storm ring was shattered also disappeared instantly.

Uchiha Yu must suppress the ocean, land, and sky simultaneously; otherwise, the sudden drop in sea level and breakwater will trigger violent atmospheric oscillations, creating a secondary meteorological disaster.

The moment he turned his palm over, the whole world became sunny, the air was so clear, the daytime area was bright with sunshine, and the nighttime area was full of starlight.

Those humans who were trembling in the face of natural disaster were stunned. One by one, they came out of their hiding places and stared blankly at the sky.

I don't know who shouted first, "Thank God for His protection!!"

Humans who have escaped death are exceptionally vulnerable; anyone who heard these words prostrated themselves on the ground, weeping and shouting, "Thank God!"

They didn't know the name of the god who performed the miracle, so they could only refer to Him by the broadest pronoun and wholeheartedly praise and thank Him.

Humans don't know who did it, but the Otsutsuki family does, at least they know where the source of the power that calmed the world's turmoil lies.

Hamura Otsutsuki stammered, "It's right by the sea, shall we go take a look?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki sighed, "Yes, of course I'll go..."

After a few seconds of silence, she sighed again, "I have no choice but to go."

After saying that, Kaguya waved her hand and opened the gate to Yomotsu Hirasaka.
