I just returned to Konoha and found that my entire clan was gone.

A giant blade wreathed in flames suddenly appeared above everyone's heads, shielding them from the fatal blow.

But the Great Box Heaven's downward momentum did not seem to stop. Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, and the giant blade above his head began to crack continuously, as if it was about to give way.

"It's you!"

Yishi looked at Yelan, who had stood up from the ruins, in disbelief. It hadn't expected that Yelan could survive such an attack.

"Never underestimate human beings! The word 'miracle' originated from humankind!"

Ye Lan's hoarse voice rang out, and the flames on the giant blade in Susanoo's hand lit up once again. The white flames tempered the entire blade. As everyone died, he finally knocked the Great Box Heaven away, its direction being exactly where the First Style was standing.

As Yishiki raised his arm, it was forcefully knocked away by Yelan. The Great Box Heaven, which Naruto and Sasuke had almost risked their lives to destroy, was actually blocked by it.

"Brother Ye Lan!"

"Ye Lan!"

Naruto and Sasuke looked at Ye Lan, their hearts filled with trepidation. They knew very well that it would be extremely difficult for Ye Lan to defeat Isshiki.

"Ye Lan, you should leave. If Naruto dies, the enemy won't have time to absorb the Nine-Tails, which will buy you some time!"

Sakura stared at Tsunade in disbelief at the suggestion, wondering how such words could come from the Hokage.

Kakashi's expression shifted slightly, his throat bobbing up and down, but he ultimately said nothing. Perhaps this was the best solution.

"I agree with Granny Tsunade's plan, as long as I..."

Naruto took a kunai from his ninja tool pouch on his buttocks, and it seemed he had been persuaded.

"Stop! Things haven't reached the point of no return..."

Ye Lan was shocked. Tsunade actually had such courage. If it were back then...

Ye Lan shook his head, no longer thinking about anything else; he was now focused on dealing with the attack in front of him.

"You think you can take me down with your pathetic state?"

Although Yi Shi was surprised that Ye Lan could still stand up, the opponent's condition was obviously not good. Since it could defeat the opponent once, it could do it a second time, especially since it had become stronger now.

"I will definitely kill you, One Style."

Flames erupted in Ye Lan's hand, and a blade made of flames appeared from his palm. Ye Lan gripped it with his backhand and plunged it into the ground.

A black Susanoo appeared behind him. This Susanoo seemed different from the past. Its golden pupils shone brightly, and it roared continuously. It no longer seemed to be a cold machine, but a living being.

"Susanoo..."

"The Susanoo of the Uchiha clan is completely useless against me! It's pointless, give up!"

Regardless of strength, Isshiki increasingly finds himself particularly disgusted by the cockroach-like vitality of humans.

"Arm up!"

With a roar, Ye Lan no longer returned to Susanoo's body, but rather Susanoo's armor fell off its body.

Through continuous compression and condensation, these enormous suits of armor shrunk to human size, completely enveloping Ye Lan's body. He was no longer a hundred-meter-tall demon god, but a Susanoo of human height.

Chapter 382 Susanoo Armament (Part 5)

The earth cracked and the ground caved in. A violent surge of natural energy swept through the area, and Naruto and Sasuke could no longer stand. They were swept to the ground by the storm.

"To compress Susanoo to this extent, Ye Lan has made Susanoo evolve once again..."

Sasuke shielded his eyes from the dust with one hand, his pupils revealing shock and confusion.

It works on the same principle as the Tailed Beast Ball, but the difficulty of compressing a 100-meter-tall Susanoo into this form while maintaining its original shape is unimaginable.

Ye Lan had tried before but had never succeeded. Now, with a much larger amount of natural energy, he was finally able to do it.

The blood on Ye Lan's forehead flowed upwards in a strange way, turning into tiny blood droplets that floated against gravity.

As the blood flowed back, his face, which had been covered in blood, gradually regained its handsome appearance, and his skin became smooth as before, as if he had never been injured.

Even the deep, bone-revealing wound between his brows healed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint red mark before disappearing completely.

The Susanoo behind him roared incessantly, seemingly trying to break free from the armor's restraints. In the end, all the armor scattered and turned into countless fragments.

Each fragment was constantly condensed, compressed, and recombined under the violent natural energy. They spread like water, covering his arms, chest, and legs, and eventually even his face was completely covered by a cold mask.

Only his eyes, as deep as the starry sky, were visible, gleaming with a cold light that seemed to pierce through all illusions.

The moment the last piece of armor was attached to his body, the whole world seemed to freeze. The wind stopped howling, dust hung in the air, and even the collapsing rocks in the distance seemed frozen in the instant of their fall.

Ye Lan stood still, slowly raising his hand. The surrounding natural energy seemed to be summoned, surging wildly towards him. The originally violent energy now flowed like a gentle stream, absorbed by him with overwhelming force.

Once all the energy was absorbed, everything returned to normal. The collapsed scene vanished, leaving only the jet-black warrior standing silently in the center.

Everyone stared in disbelief at Ye Lan's transformation. There was no fluctuation of chakra or natural energy on Ye Lan's body; if one closed their eyes, they would have no idea that someone was in front of them.

"What tricks are you playing? Can't you lowly creatures just obediently wait to die?"

Although Ye Lan's performance was exaggerated, Yi Shi did not feel any pressure from Ye Lan. The dark red crack tore open again in mid-air, and dozens of large box-shaped projectiles were thrown directly at Ye Lan's position.

Dozens of large celestial bombs turned the sky dark, truly blotting out the sun.

Before Naruto could even marvel at Ye Lan's transformation, a single attack startled him.

But the black warrior behind him suddenly vanished without a trace, without any warning, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

When Naruto realized it again, Ye Lan was already above them.

"Instantaneous movement technique? Or is the speed just too fast? The surrounding air doesn't even ripple."

Sasuke's eyes widened. Although the Rinnegan no longer possessed any ocular power, it still maintained powerful dynamic vision, and even he couldn't see Ye Lan's movements.

Ye Lan once again stood before the Great Box Heaven, the black cube that had once caused him to struggle to deflect the attack, still exuding a cold and heavy aura.

It hovered in mid-air, like an unshakeable mountain, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. Ye Lan's gaze was calm as still water, and the sharp blade in his hand trembled slightly, as if responding to his fighting spirit.

Just when everyone thought he was simply adjusting his posture, Ye Lan's hand suddenly moved.

To onlookers, his movements were so fast they were almost impossible to catch, merely a blurry afterimage. The next moment, countless blade lights poured out like a torrential rain, the dense blade light weaving into a silver net in the air, completely enveloping Da Xia Tian.

That substance, hailed as the hardest in the universe, was now as fragile as tofu, shattering silently in the flash of the blade, turning into countless tiny black fragments scattered on the ground.

Before Sasuke and Naruto could even be surprised by the change in Ye Lan's strength, Ye Lan's actions had not yet stopped.

He instantly appeared in front of another Great Heavenly Box. This time, he didn't even use a blade, but instead threw a punch directly.

The moment the fist made contact with the black cube, a muffled roar erupted in the air. Da Xiatian was sent flying backward as if he had collided with a meteorite, crashing heavily into a distant mountain range with a deafening bang.

Ye Lan's figure vanished again, reappearing beside another Great Box Heaven. His leg swept out like a whip, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it tore through the air, directly kicking the third Great Box Heaven away.

Those black cubes that had once troubled him were now like toys in front of him, completely lacking their former imposing presence.

Ye Lan's movements were fluid and without the slightest hesitation. Every move he made was precise and deadly. His figure darted across the battlefield, leaving only a black phantom in his wake. Wherever he passed, the Great Box Heaven shattered and scattered, posing no threat whatsoever.

When the last Great Box Heaven was shattered by his punch, Ye Lan slowly withdrew his hand. His expression was not visible under his mask. He looked up at Xian Yi Shi as if mocking his opponent's move.

Yishi's expression went out of control, his face twitched uncontrollably, and he raised his arm as if to launch another attack.

"You bastard!"

At this moment, Ye Lan, clad in black armor, finally uttered his first words.

"you are too slow."

Yishi suddenly looked up, and the voice came from above it. When did the other party arrive above it?

But as soon as it heard those words, Ye Lan's sharp blade slashed down, its target being its head.

Yishi narrowly avoided a fatal blow, but his shoulder was struck directly, with most of the blade embedded in his skin. To avoid further injury, Yishi disregarded the danger and gripped the blade with his free hand, ignoring the cut on his palm.

Young name Bikanna

Yishi decisively used its right eye's pupil technique, hoping to shrink the blade in Yelan's hand. However, to its disappointment, the blade in Yelan's hand did not change at all, and its pupil technique failed.

"Your eye technique can shrink yourself or an object, right? But the premise is that the object has no life force."

Ye Lan's indifferent voice rang out from beneath the mask.

"My armor, including this blade, is entirely composed of natural energy, and natural energy inherently contains life force. Your techniques are useless against me..."

Chapter 383 You're Just the First Otsutsuki I Killed

"Mere inferior creatures..."

Yishi still retained a cold and contemptuous tone, and then his body reacted.

Several pitch-black rod-like objects suddenly sprouted from the shoulder struck by Ye Lan's blade, as if growing from his flesh, and spread rapidly. Not only that, his hand holding the blade was also covered with black rods, and with a sudden burst of force at an eerie angle, he forcefully deflected Ye Lan's blade.

Taking advantage of that brief opening, Yi Shi quickly created distance, his figure retreating like a ghost. By the time Ye Lan readjusted his posture, Yi Shi's wounds had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, without even leaving a single scar.

He stared coldly at Ye Lan, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "A creature as inferior as you can never hurt me."

Ye Lan's gaze remained calm, like a bottomless lake. He slowly raised the sharp blade in his hand, his voice cold and resolute.

"Regeneration ability? Then I'll cut you down until you can't regenerate anymore."

Before the words were even finished, Ye Lan's figure suddenly shot up. But he was not one to sit and wait for death. His palm moved swiftly, and several thin black rods shot out from his fingertips, so fast that they were almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Since they couldn't shrink Ye Lan's weapons, they would shrink their own and launch an attack in a more covert way.

To Yi Shi's surprise, those once invincible black rods were repelled the moment they touched Ye Lan's armor, as if they had struck an invisible barrier. Ye Lan didn't even glance at the black rods, as if they were nothing more than insignificant dust.

Yi Shi's pupils contracted slightly, a hint of unease flashing through his heart. But at that moment, Ye Lan had already closed in on him, her sharp blade slashing down with a chilling light. Yi Shi swiftly drew a black staff and held it horizontally in front of him to block.

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed in the air, producing visible ripples. The instant their weapons crossed, Yi Shi felt an overwhelming force emanating from the black staff. His arm trembled slightly, and he was utterly shocked; his own power had been completely suppressed.

Realizing the situation was dire, Yi Shi instinctively tried to retreat, but it was too late. Ye Lan's blade suddenly exerted force, severing the black rod in an instant, the cut smooth as a mirror. Yi Shi was forced to retreat again, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Ye Lan gave Yi Shi no chance to catch his breath. His figure followed closely like a ghost, as if he had already locked onto Yi Shi's every move.

Yi Shi gritted his teeth and dodged rapidly, trying to create distance. But Ye Lan's attacks were like a storm, each strike carrying overwhelming power, forcing Yi Shi to retreat step by step.

Perhaps realizing it was difficult to shake off Ye Lan's pursuit here, it suddenly activated the chakra within its body, and its figure abruptly rose into the air. Its speed was extremely fast, like a rocket being launched, soaring straight into the sky.

Ye Lan sneered and followed without hesitation. The two figures left two afterimages in the air and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The spectators on the ground looked up and could only see two blurry beams of light rising higher and higher until they disappeared completely into the clouds.

When their figures became clear again, they were already tens of thousands of meters above the ground. From here, the outline of the blue planet could be seen in half, and the vast land and the boundless ocean intertwined to create a magnificent picture.

At this moment, the two had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery; their eyes were only on each other and on the killing intent of fighting to the death.
