Soul Bone Mode greatly increases his defensive capabilities, while Tailed Beast Cloak Mode grants him powerful chakra and the power of the Tailed Beasts.

Sage Mode allows him to absorb natural energy, enhancing his recovery and endurance.

With the support of the four forms, Nangong Yehua's aura surged, and his oppressive aura reached its maximum.

He seemed to have transformed into an invincible war god, instilling a sense of fear in even Urashiki Otsutsuki.

"Otsutsuki Urashiki, is this all you've got? Let's see how long you can last!"

Nangong Yehua shouted and charged into the storm of fishing hooks.

He wielded his longsword, each strike carrying destructive power.

The storm of fishhooks gradually dissipated under his attacks, and Urashiki Ōtsutsuki was forced to retreat continuously.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, during which the surrounding mountains were shattered and much of the earth collapsed.

The two figures moved constantly across the battlefield, each clash triggering a deafening explosion.

Finally, under Nangong Yehua's relentless barrage of attacks, Otsutsuki Urashiki could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. He coughed up blood violently, his face ashen white.

Asking for flowers

Nangong Yehua walked up to Otsutsuki Urashiki and looked at him coldly:

"Otsutsuki Urashiki, you've lost."

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki raised his head and looked at Nangong Yehua, his eyes filled with resentment and despair.

He knew he was not as strong as Nangong Yehua, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big.

Nangong Yehua slowly approached the fallen Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, a cold glint in his eyes. Despite his exhaustion, he knew the battle was far from over, until the enemy was completely defeated.

He crouched down, gently tracing the carotid artery of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki with his fingers to confirm that the other man had lost all signs of life. Then, Nangong Yehua took a deep breath and dispelled all his forms. His body, having lost its support, involuntarily slumped to the side.

The surrounding environment was a scene of utter devastation; mountains had collapsed, the earth had caved in, and the once lush trees had been shattered by the aftershocks of the battle. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and dust, making it difficult to breathe.

Chapter 458 Devouring and Absorbing Otsutsuki Urashiki

Nangong Yehua closed his eyes and began to circulate his cultivation technique to restore his spiritual energy.

He felt as if his body were a dried-up lake, desperately in need of moisture.

His breathing gradually became deep and powerful, each breath seemingly able to devour the surrounding spiritual energy.

Time seemed to slow down and stretch on at that moment. A faint golden light began to emanate from around Nangong Yehua's body, a sign that spiritual energy was gradually gathering.

"250"

His complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and his eyes regained their sparkle.

After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Yehua finally opened her eyes.

He stood up and checked his physical condition. Although he was still a little weak, he had recovered most of his strength.

He turned to look at the corpse of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He walked over to Urashiki Otsutsuki, squatted down, and placed his hand on the other's head.

A mysterious power surged from Nangong Yehua's palm, beginning to devour the power and skills of Otsutsuki Urashiki.

This is Nangong Yehua's unique ability—devouring!

The process of devouring was not easy; Nangong Yehua needed to carefully control her power to avoid harming her soul.

He felt the power and skills of Urashiki Otsutsuki flowing into his body continuously, as if a torrent was washing over his meridians.

A look of pain appeared on Nangong Yehua's face, but he did not stop devouring.

He knew this was a golden opportunity to improve himself, and he couldn't miss it.

As the devouring continued, Nangong Yehua felt his power rapidly increasing.

His meridians became stronger and wider under the influence of spiritual energy, as if they could hold more power.

Finally, the process of devouring ended.

Nangong Yehua stood up and checked her physical condition.

He found himself becoming stronger than before, with Urashiki Otsutsuki's power and skills perfectly integrated into his body.

Nangong Yehua nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.

He knew he had many things to do and couldn't stay there any longer.

However, at the moment he turned to leave, he did not notice that there was a hole beneath the body of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.

This hole is inconspicuous, yet it is enough for a person's soul to escape.

The soul of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was slowly drifting out of the cave, his face bearing a trace of resentment and bitterness.

He never expected to be defeated by Nangong Yehua, and he never expected that his power and skills would be devoured by the other party.

However, he also knew that now was not the time for resentment.

He must leave this place as soon as possible and find a way to recover.

Only in this way could he have a chance to take revenge on Nangong Yehua.

Otsutsuki Urashiki's soul gradually disappeared into the darkness at the cave entrance, leaving behind a desolate battlefield and the departing Nangong Yehua.

The scene shifts, and Nangong Yehua has returned to the Akatsuki base. The base is located in a desolate valley, surrounded by towering cliffs, forming a natural barrier.

Inside the valley is a vast complex of buildings constructed of steel and concrete, cold and solid, exuding an aura of danger and mystery.

The Akatsuki base is divided into several areas, the most mysterious of which is Orochimaru's laboratory.

This laboratory is located at the deepest part of the base; it is a separate building with an ordinary-looking exterior.

Chapter 459 Orochimaru: My nose is sharper than a dog's

However, the interior is filled with various high-tech equipment and strange biological experimental instruments.

As Nangong Yehua entered the laboratory, she was greeted by a pungent smell of chemical reagents.

He frowned at first, but quickly adapted to the environment.

His gaze swept around the laboratory, where various test tubes, flasks, microscopes and other experimental equipment were arranged in an orderly manner.

The walls are covered with various complex charts and formulas, demonstrating the owner's pursuit and dedication to science.

In the center of the laboratory, there was a huge glass container containing a strange creature.

The creature's body is semi-transparent, and you can see blue blood flowing inside it.

Its eyes gleamed with a faint, eerie light, as if they could see into people's hearts.

Nangong Yehua knew that this was Orochimaru's latest research result, and also one of the purposes of his return.

He walked up to the glass container and carefully observed the strange creature.

His expression turned serious, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and inquiry.

He knew that this creature contained immense energy and secrets, and that mastering its secrets would greatly enhance his own strength.

Just then, the laboratory door was pushed open. Orochimaru walked in, a slight smile on his face, but a sharp glint in his eyes.

He saw Nangong Yehua observing his research results and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"You came."

Orochimaru's voice was deep and hoarse, as if it possessed a kind of magic.

Nangong Yehua turned around and looked at Orochimaru. His face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a firmness and confidence.

"Yes, I'm coming."

He replied,

"I need your help."

Orochimaru nodded in agreement.

He walked up to Nangong Yehua.

Orochimaru slowly walked to Nangong Yehua's side, his gaze as sharp as a snake's, seemingly able to see into people's hearts.

He lowered his head slightly, leaned closer to Nangong Yehua, and said in a voice that was almost audible only to the two of them:

“Nangong Yehua, I sense an aura about you that doesn’t belong to this world.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua raised an eyebrow slightly, but his face remained calm.

He turned his head and met Orochimaru's gaze, his eyes flashing with determination. He replied calmly:

"Orochimaru, you're right. I do not belong to this world."

A flicker of surprise crossed Orochimaru's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He chuckled softly and continued:

“I know you don’t belong to this world, but the aura I’m talking about refers to your existence transcending the boundaries of this time and space.”

"It comes from another world, a world 250 times different from ours."

Nangong Yehua's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Orochimaru to be so perceptive as to notice the abnormality in his body.

He took a deep breath and decided to reveal more to Orochimaru. He said in a deep voice:

"Orochimaru, you may have already guessed. I come from a place called the world of cultivation. There, I cultivate immortal techniques and pursue immortality."

A glint of excitement flashed in Orochimaru's eyes; he seemed to be captivated by Nangong Yehua's words.

He eagerly pressed on with the question:

"The world of cultivation? What kind of place is that? Is your talk of immortality true?"

Nangong Yehua nodded and began to describe in detail the various aspects of the cultivation world.

Chapter 460 The River of Time: Future World

He talked about how cultivators practice immortal techniques, refine elixirs, and master magical treasures;

He also talked about how he went through hardships in the world of cultivation and eventually became a powerful figure.

Orochimaru listened intently, his eyes gleaming with longing and curiosity.

He seemed to see a completely new world, a world full of infinite possibilities.

He couldn't help but interrupt Nangong Yehua's narration, and asked eagerly:

"Nangong Yehua, the river of time you mentioned... is it related to the time in our world?"

Nangong Yehua nodded slightly and continued, "That's right. The river of time is a very important concept in the world of cultivation."

It connects the past, present, and future, and cultivators can perceive and manipulate time by cultivating immortal techniques.

The reason I came into this world is because I accidentally came into contact with the River of Time during my cultivation.

Orochimaru's face lit up with a look of sudden realization, and he said excitedly:

"I understand! I understand! The Otsutsuki Urashiki you're talking about, he's actually from the future, right?"

Nangong Yehua looked at Orochimaru in surprise, not expecting Orochimaru to make the connection so quickly.

He nodded and admitted:

“That’s right. Ōtsutsuki Urashiki is indeed from the future. His power and skills far exceed the level of this era.”

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement; he seemed to have found an unprecedented challenge.

He said excitedly:

"This is so exciting! Nangong Yehua, can you tell me more about the future world? Such as its technology, culture, social structure, and so on."

Nangong Yehua gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying:

"Unfortunately, I don't know much about the future world."

"I only came to this world because I accidentally came into contact with the River of Time during my cultivation. Moreover, I can no longer return to the world of cultivation."

Orochimaru showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but he quickly cheered up again.

He took a deep breath and said to Nangong Yehua:

“It’s alright, Nangong Yehua. You’ve already given me enough surprises. I believe that with your help, I will be able to uncover more secrets about time and space.”

Nangong Yehua nodded in agreement.

Nangong Yehua took a deep breath, turned to face Orochimaru, and his eyes gleamed with determination.
