I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

The attack just now was not the work of Otsutsuki Shinou, but rather Kitahara Kaede. With the enhancement of this power, everyone was covered in a thick layer of jade armor.

This armor functions similarly to the Nine-Tailed Fox's Cloak, but its effect is dozens of times better. However, it cannot launch an attack.

Of course, since there is no autonomy, how much power can be exerted depends entirely on the user's own skills and compatibility. However, everyone present in 3.6 is an elite of the ninja world, and their skills are terrifyingly strong. As soon as this armor is put on, everyone's strength immediately soars to a certain threshold.

Now those terrifying statues around them were no longer a problem for them. With a tinkling sound, cracks began to appear on the surrounding statues.

"..."

Kitahara Kaede watched as the expression on the Otsutsuki God King's face grew increasingly solemn. The two sides had competed in everything from physical techniques to energy skills, formations, and bizarre methods, but the result was that the two sides were evenly matched.

Just then, the Otsutsuki God King saw that the situation of the Otsutsuki below seemed to be bad. He acted quickly and immediately unleashed a skill. Seeing his action, Kitahara Kaede followed closely behind with a force that chased after him.

Chapter 738 Similar Methods

However, the two forces that were released almost simultaneously landed on the battlefield one after the other, and the Otsutsuki God King had a smile on his face.

In fact, his expression remained almost unchanged, as if everything happening around him was within his expectations.

"What! You don't understand it, or you still can't comprehend it?"

"I never expected that someone like you would appear in the universe. Not only is your strength at the limit of order, but your methods are also so diverse. It seems that there were still some who escaped when we cleaned up the universe!" The God King of Otsutsuki said to Kitahara Kaede.

"The limit of order?" Otsutsuki smiled as he looked at the other, then raised his huge fist and smashed it down on the other once more.

The Otsutsuki God King still wore a faint smile, and a certain power appeared around him, making Kitahara Kaede seem to be slowed down dozens of times in front of him.

The two are of similar strength, and in this state, Kitahara Kaede poses no threat to the Otsutsuki God King.

The 13 Otsutsuki God King turned slightly, trying to dodge, but unexpectedly, Kitahara Kaede's movements suddenly accelerated, and he smashed towards Kitahara Kaede's face at normal speed.

"What!" For the first time, a look of shock appeared on the face of the Otsutsuki God King. He was blasted away by the powerful force, but he moved quickly and curled up his body in mid-air, forming a defensive posture.

The expected blow did not come. Otsutsuki looked at Kitahara Kaede with a grim expression: "How is this possible? You have also comprehended the rules of time!"

"Why not? Do you think you're the only one who has grasped the rules? Or is it the power of time?" At this moment, it was Kitahara Kaede's turn to look at the other party with a calm expression.

"No! It's different. You and I have comprehended two different things!" Otsutsuki waved his palm in the air, a thoughtful expression on his face. Even with the wave of his palm, one could sense ripples appearing in the surrounding space.

With a casual wave of his hand, Kitahara Kaede caused the ripples to disappear instantly, as if nothing had appeared around him.

"That's right! Different powers, but equally powerful. This is the rule of time, and it has something in common with what I've come to understand!" The expression on the face of the Otsutsuki God King suddenly became fanatical and excited.

"Come on! Let me see just how much power you've mastered!" The Otsutsuki God King appeared before Kitahara Kaede in the blink of an eye, his expression filled with immense excitement.

At this moment, a strange feeling arose again. Kitahara Kaede and the Otsutsuki God King continued to fight. If someone were outside the arena, they would have noticed that the two of them were moving as if they were two martial artists fighting.

It's not that they're particularly powerful, but rather that they're incredibly weak. Martial arts masters may sound impressive, but their actual strength might not even be comparable to that of an ordinary samurai.

The two exchanged punches and kicks, looking like ordinary people fighting, and their speed was even slower than that of a genin.

Just then, a terrifying attack came from the side. Under such an attack, the two of them would definitely be hit, but when the attack landed around them, it suddenly became incredibly slow.

If one weren't confident in their ability to see clearly, this attack would appear to them as if someone were simply drawing a stroke in space with a paintbrush.

A minute passed before the terrifying attack reached Kitahara Kaede and his companion, and then vanished without a trace.

"Haha! Not bad, so this is what you've mastered—a method to accelerate time!" The Otsutsuki God King said with a look of surprise on his face.

What's even more terrifying is that when he rubbed his fingertips together, rules similar to those of Kitahara Kaede appeared.

"The Otsutsuki God King is even more powerful than I imagined. He has already gained some understanding in such a short time. However! I am not to be trifled with either." Kitahara Kaede also imitated the other's movements.

At this moment, an aura similar to that of the Otsutsuki God appeared on his body, and the two powers of time were slowly merging on Kitahara Kaede's body.

"Fusion! Is this the key to the next realm?!" Otsutsuki was startled by the opponent's actions, and then immediately began to imitate Kitahara Kaede's movements.

However, his expression also turned somewhat grim. The other party was moving faster than him. If their comprehension was about the same, wouldn't the other party get there first?

Thinking this, the Otsutsuki God King made his move. After all, he had honed his skills at this level for ten thousand years, accumulating unparalleled power, and his own energy was also higher than that of Kitahara Kaede.

"Kid, it seems you're my lucky star! No wonder I've been struggling to comprehend this place for hundreds of years without any results. It turns out that just having one rule of time isn't enough to break through this realm, and it's impossible to become a god!"

"And now that you've come, you've completed this power. Haha, I can sense it. With this power, I should be able to enter this realm in a few years at most!" Otsutsuki Shinou said with a smile as he looked at Kitahara Kaede.

He wanted to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. As soon as the opponent's rhythm was disrupted, he would immediately launch a thunderous attack, giving the opponent absolutely no chance to break through!

However, Kitahara Kaede gave him no chance at all. While resisting, the two rules he had comprehended were also colliding rapidly, and the degree of fusion had become much deeper.

The two sides fought continuously for 630 seconds. The space around them had been completely shattered, and both sides were now in a spatial turbulence. Normal Kage-level fighters would be killed here.

The levels of order can also become trapped in the turbulent currents of this space and cannot escape. Only by going deeper into the levels of order, or by mastering a special kind of order, can one break free from this special environment.

Moreover, merely breaking free is insufficient. To achieve the ease and freedom of Kitahara Kaede and the Otsutsuki God King, one must comprehend the rules and be familiar with the properties of space.

The surrounding spatial turbulence caused spatial distortion. The area where the two fought did not seem wide, only a small space. However, as the space fluctuated, the aftershocks of their battle continued to spread outwards.

In some desolate and cold environments in the universe, light and heat were generated as the battle between the two began, and huge amounts of energy appeared around them from time to time.

These forces flashed by, and then the starry sky was shattered. A tenth of the surrounding planets were destroyed in an instant if they were grazed, and if they were hit head-on, they would disappear instantly.

As the two clashed, they soon made a surprising discovery: with each interaction, the unique rules of time they had grasped became increasingly clear, and the fusion of their time powers accelerated.

Chapter 739 Plunder

Previously, the Otsutsuki God King felt that the fusion of these powers, along with the comprehension, would require several years of effort. However, it now seems that it will only take a few months. Moreover, with both sides constantly employing new methods, this rapid fusion process has never been interrupted.

"Kid! Give up. It won't be long before I fuse this unique power with you. Then you won't even know how you died!" Otsutsuki said to Kitahara Kaede.

"Don't be silly, we're on the same starting line now, and I'm even a step ahead of you. If we're going to comprehend something, I'll be the first to do so," Kitahara Kaede replied confidently.

"Hmph! Kid, I see you have some talent. Don't forget I have hundreds of years of experience and an incredibly rich accumulation of knowledge. The outcome is truly uncertain. However, I acknowledge your talent; you are a rare genius in the entire world. Why don't you become my disciple, Otsutsuki!"

"I guarantee that after you come here you will have a status second only to the First One. In fact, your race can reproduce as freely as the Otsutsuki race, and you will never be looked down upon!" Otsutsuki said to Kitahara Kaede.

This was already the best he could offer. He had never given any special treatment to those clansmen before. Being able to keep them alive was already his greatest blessing!

"Haha! How naive! Is the God King of the Otsutsuki this naive? Don't worry, if I comprehend this power first, I guarantee I'll make your death easier. That would be my greatest favor to you!" Kitahara Kaede said, mimicking the other's tone.

The God King of the Otsutsuki clan's expression turned quite grim, but his movements did not slow down at all; instead, he poured even more power into the fusion.

"Bang!" The two clashed in a desperate attack, causing chaos in the surrounding space. This terrifying power was something that even a physical body at the Order level might not be able to withstand.

They wanted to attack again, but Otsutsuki and Kitahara Kaede stopped their movements almost at the same time, and their bodies began to weaken in that instant.

Their expressions changed drastically, each thinking the other had done something wrong. Their eyes met, and they immediately realized it wasn't the other's fault.

This relieved both of them, and they then began to investigate what the problem was.

"This!" The two of them opened their eyes wide at almost the same time. Within their bodies, that unique fusion seemed to have reached its end, and after reaching the end, this power began to frantically devour their own power.

The power of this devouring was so great that it almost instantly depleted the energy in their bodies.

Even the accumulated strength of the Otsutsuki over the years couldn't hold up. However, the Otsutsuki naturally had his own methods, and he took out some unknown things from his body and immediately ate them.

It then began to frantically absorb power in the surrounding space.

Kitahara Kaede did the same thing, first taking out some things that resembled his own potions, and then finding a lot of energy substances he had collected along the way.

The surrounding energy was also frantically returning to their bodies.

At this point, they were no longer able to care about what was happening around them.

The space they had broken around them began to slowly heal. Once the surrounding space stabilized, they landed once again on the giant mountain of the Otsutsuki clan.

At this moment, the giant mountain of the Otsutsuki clan suffered. The power of the two was terrifying, and the abundant energy around them was frantically plundered almost instantly.

At this moment, the Ōtsutsuki's giant mountain energy faced a crisis for the first time. The storm was constantly gathering, and the surrounding formations were rapidly losing energy under this terrifying suction force.

The people of the ninja world and the Otsutsuki sensed something was wrong almost at the same time. They tried to control the surrounding formations, but it was no use. Instead, the formations absorbed and transferred a large amount of power to them.

"What's going on? What happened?!" The Otsutsuki clan and the people of the ninja world were completely confused. All they could do now was to resist the terrifying suction force and lock the power inside their bodies.

Under this terrifying suction force, the energy on Mount Otsutsuki was quickly depleted. Not only that, but the surrounding energy-containing substances were also endlessly plundered and turned into powder in just a short while.

In less than an hour, only the Otsutsuki clan and the people of the ninja world remained alive on the giant mountain. All other energy, matter, and clan members had their power plundered by that terrifying suction force.

Energy is constantly being transmitted even in the void of the universe.

"Not enough! Still not enough!" came the voice of the Otsutsuki God King.

"Isn't that His Majesty the God-King's voice enough? Is it energy or something else?!" Otsutsuki below immediately asked.

"It's Kitahara Kaede and the others! What did they do to cause such a huge energy reaction? The energy that just disappeared is enough for the entire ninja world to train with!" Tsunade said in shock.

"You underestimate it. This place is much larger than the Ninja World, and its terrifying power far surpasses chakra in both quality and quantity. But now, it's completely clean!" Itachi Uchiha said with a grim expression.

Kitahara Kaede didn't say anything; he didn't know how he could help the other person.

"Bang bang bang!" Just then, Otsutsuki's body suddenly exploded like a watermelon, several of them bursting open.

The ninjas instinctively huddled together, cautiously observing their surroundings.

"What's wrong! What happened? Was the other party attacked? Or what?" Tsunade asked cautiously.

"I don't know, be careful, something's not right!" Itachi Uchiha warned.

And above!

"Just as I suspected! Haha, just as I guessed!" Kitahara Kaede said with a smile as he looked at (Wang Haohao) Otsutsuki.

"Boy! What have you done!" The Otsutsuki looked at Kitahara Kaede with a grim expression. He had just absorbed a lot of Otsutsuki, but he didn't expect that some of the Otsutsuki's flesh and blood contained some special things, which caused him to lose a lot of power.

"I've taken down quite a few Otsutsuki before, the Guardians. At first, I thought their unique methods of sacrifice were just a characteristic of the Otsutsuki! But later I realized that wasn't it; it was something contained in their genes or bloodline!"

"After that, I found quite a few Otsutsuki people and came to a conclusion: those Otsutsuki were not actually members of the Otsutsuki clan, but rather, your clones!" Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

"So! You put something in these people's bodies, you deserve to die!" the Otsutsuki God King said with a grim expression.

Chapter 740 The Secrets of the Otsutsuki Clan

Otsutsuki's face was pale, and the energy in his body had dropped to a terrifying level. Kitahara Kaede was not in much better condition either; his terrifying need for energy had almost drained him dry.

Both had prepared a lot of substances that could restore energy, but the Otsutsuki's accumulation was much deeper. Fortunately, Kitahara Kaede tricked his opponent in this regard, which barely managed to bring the score to a draw.

"I didn't expect you to have research on the flesh and blood lineage. I spent hundreds of years researching before I came up with this method. It only requires a part of my true soul and body to cultivate this kind of independent clone."

"No! Calling them clones isn't entirely accurate. I've discovered that these clones aren't much different from the normal Otsutsuki, and they even have better comprehension in cultivation. Once they reach the level of order, they will be of great help to me," said the Otsutsuki God King.

He revealed some secrets that others didn't know, arousing Kitahara Kaede's curiosity, while the chaotic energy within his body was rapidly calming down.

"So that's how it is. So you made the real Otsutsuki your vassals, even willing to die for them," Kitahara Kaede said, seemingly disdainful. 633

As he spoke, he quietly placed the lotus petal in his hand into his mouth, and instantly a surge of energy flowed down his throat, quickly nourishing his body.

"Of course, isn't it an honor for them to dedicate themselves to me! I only slightly modified their genes and accomplished something like this, isn't that amazing?" the Otsutsuki God King said proudly.

“It’s no big deal. If the limits of order are reached, such things will be easily discovered!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"That's right! So naturally I won't give them that chance. By the way, you saw the place closest to me on the mountainside, right? Inside those three houses were originally three Otsutsuki who had already reached the pinnacle of order. They had the opportunity to reach my level."

"Unfortunately, I discovered something I shouldn't have, so I had no choice but to kill them."

"However, I didn't expect that the top-level experts of the Order were indeed different. The profound energy and unique insights they gained after being killed actually made my cultivation advance another step."

"Do you know that my cultivation has not increased at all for so many years? This step is a world-shaking change for me. It's just a pity that my later clones were too useless. Over the years, only a few guys have had the opportunity to reach that level, and you killed them all!" Otsutsuki's face changed from excitement to indignation.

“It’s better for me to kill them than for you, the Otsutsuki, to personally eliminate them. Now it seems that it’s actually their good fortune that I killed them!” Kitahara Kaede said with a grim expression.

He never imagined that the Otsutsuki God King would go to such lengths to become stronger, to the point of having no bottom line. If he were to actually become a god-level powerhouse, the entire universe would probably be thrown into turmoil.

"A madman!" Kitahara Kaede said with a grim expression.

"You're insane! Hahaha, you don't look that old, do you? Wait until you've toiled for countless years without making any progress, knowing full well that the next realm is right in front of you, but your cultivation just won't improve at all, and you'll go crazy too!"

"You are lucky to have comprehended this power when you reached this level, but what about the next level? Life will be incredibly long for you. You will endure the disappearance of all your loved ones, turning them into withered bones. All that will remain is the pursuit of godhood. But that unfathomable realm will forever remain a mystery to you. At that time, your methods will probably be even more cruel than mine!" The Otsutsuki God King said to Kitahara Kaede.

"At least, I don't have it yet. Moreover, I will strive for everything I want myself, but I will never hurt others to obtain it. The feelings I cherish and the people I care about, I will take them with me to the highest level!" Kitahara Kaede said firmly as he looked at the other person.

"Hahahaha!" The God King of the Otsutsuki suddenly burst into wild laughter as he looked at Kitahara Kaede, and you could even see tears welling up in his eyes from laughing.

"What naive yet enviable words, just like my past self. However, it is enough for this world to have me, the God-King of the Otsutsuki. As for you, my past shadow, vanish!" The God-King of the Otsutsuki launched a sudden attack as he spoke.

At that moment, Kitahara Kaede immediately launched a counterattack.

"boom!"

"Good lad, you really did have a backup plan!" said the Otsutsuki God King.

"Likewise! I didn't expect you to reply so quickly," Kitahara Kaede said. Both of them became much more cautious, knowing that their strengths were now similar and that a single mistake could cause the situation to spiral out of control.

At that moment, the two figures suddenly appeared in front of the Otsutsuki and the Ninja World.

"Your Majesty the God King!" The moment the God King of the Otsutsuki appeared, the Otsutsuki around him cheered.

Then they noticed Kitahara Kaede standing next to Otsutsuki God: "Who is this person? Is this the lowly creature who opposes His Majesty the God?" Everyone looked at Kitahara Kaede with hatred in their eyes.

"Inferior creature, just wait, His Majesty the God-King will soon destroy you!"
