Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

Thus, the Third Raikage, after much reflection and hard work, incorporated his unique Black Lightning into the Lightning Release Chakra Mode created by the Second Raikage, creating the Black Lightning Mode. This gave him unparalleled speed, destructive power, and defensive capabilities.

Logically speaking, the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode is more defensive, while the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode is more speed-oriented. Now that the Third Raikage has mastered the Black Lightning Mode, his speed is in no way inferior to that of his future son. On the battlefield, enemies cannot even touch the Third Raikage's exhaust fumes.

Its destructive power is even more astonishing. For example, one of the three captured Cloud Ninja once saw the Third Raikage use his Hell Burial Hand Blade to cut the Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball like tofu. Its defensive power can even withstand the Third Hokage's Five Elements Great Combo without being hurt.

In this world, with the help of the incredibly powerful Third Raikage, the Hidden Cloud Village has risen to prominence. Only by joining forces with the Hidden Stone Village can the Hidden Cloud Village contend with the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Turtle, isn't the dragon vein energy supposed to open a passage to the past?"

"This is the past? It's clearly a parallel world."

Loran couldn't understand why Prince Ming and his friends could go back in time to fulfill their dreams and pick up girls, while he could only meet a group of muscular men who were rising up in a parallel world.

"Could it be that my act of paying homage to the Gem Sword was blessed by some mysterious force?" Loran was full of questions.

“Never mind,” Loran quickly calmed down. “Parallel world interference is great too, I’m not picky.”

Chapter 95 Naruto: Sleep

For the next period of time, Loran seemed to be caught in a whirlwind of experiments. He devoted himself day and night to various experiments, trying to unravel the mystery brought about by the Sword of Grell.

Grell's Sword successfully opened a dimensional rift, undoubtedly a major breakthrough. However, this was only the beginning, and more problems followed. How to maintain the dimensional portal for a longer period became Loran's primary challenge. He constantly adjusted the experimental parameters, trying various methods to enhance the stability of the dimensional portal.

Meanwhile, how to extract energy across worlds is a major challenge that urgently needs to be overcome. Furthermore, connecting multiple dimensions simultaneously is also one of Loran's key research focuses.

As time went on, Loran discovered that the power of Grell's Sword went far beyond that; it could connect to parallel worlds.

In a sudden inspiration, Loran added the spacetime formula derived from the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique Kamui to the Grell Sword. Not only did the stability of the dimensional channel increase significantly, but the Grell Sword also connected to many hidden dimensional spaces in this universe.

The ninja world, and even the entire universe, is filled with many pocket dimensions that depend on the overall spacetime of reality. For example, Obito's Kamui dimension and Kaguya Otsutsuki's Yomotsu Hirasaka are such dimensions.

Some of these pocket dimensions are owned, while others are unowned, but regardless of their type, they may all be able to open a spacetime rift with the Grell Stone.

Those that have owners will naturally be discovered by their owners, inevitably leading to a struggle. For example, Loran defeated a strange life form that had gathered a large amount of negative energy (from then on, Hidan lost the evil god he worshipped).

Of course, those unclaimed ones were readily accepted by Loran. Some of these pocket dimensions had existed for an unknown period of time, and the energy they contained was in no way inferior to that of the tailed beasts.

Loran not only used the Sword of Grell to draw energy from various timelines, but also cleverly employed clone technology to infiltrate numerous parallel worlds undetected, collecting unprecedented new knowledge.

During this period, Loran was on the go. He not only revisited the world where the Cloud Ninja Brothers rose to power, but also personally experienced many other astonishing worlds.

In one of these worlds, the Fourth Hokage did not die from the Nine-Tails' attack as in the original story. Instead, he successfully subdued his unfilial disciple Obito and discovered Madara Uchiha's gold coins, making Konoha the dominant force in the ninja world once again.

In another world, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not gain the favor of the Second Hokage; instead, Danzo Shimura ascended to the Hokage's throne.

Even more remarkably, in one world, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha actually fought a real battle, resulting in Konoha Village never being established, and the Warring States period continuing uninterrupted to this day.

What's most astonishing is that there's a world that seems to be a crossover from an old Naruto fanfiction. In this world, a half-Senju and half-Uchiha awakens the bloodline limits of both, becoming a super strong ninja. The Hidden Leaf Village in this world even possesses the so-called "Eight Colors of Hidden Leaf," which is truly unbelievable.

Such a bizarre and wonderful world left even Loran feeling somewhat dazzled.

Not to mention that the MoonCell database was once again filled with a large amount of data, the final product of the Sword of Grell, after Loran's tireless efforts day and night, was finally presented to the world in perfect condition.

This giant sword is a peerless divine weapon, its height reaching an astonishing twelve meters! Standing in front of it, one feels an unparalleled sense of oppression.

The sword's frame is entirely silver-white, radiating a cold yet dazzling light, and is covered with a thick layer of emerald green Grell Stones. These stones are tightly embedded in the frame, like the veins of life, connecting the entire sword into a unified whole.

On the surface of this layer of Grell Stone, there are also wispy golden energy channels. These channels are as intricate as a spider web, yet they appear unusually orderly. They flow across the surface of the sword like streaks of golden lightning, adding a mysterious and magnificent touch to this greatsword.

Now that the energy problem has been solved, it's time to move on to the final step.

Loran forced the Gedo Mazo into a colossal reaction vessel, resembling an alchemical furnace, submerging its entire body in a moderating agent he had concocted. This moderating agent, specially made by Loran, was designed to reduce the Gedo Mazo's violent reactions during the intended transformation process, preventing any accidents.

According to the ritual passed down by the Otsutsuki clan, Jigen, along with the Otsutsuki Isshiki within him, was sacrificed by Loran to his still immature Ten-Tails.

Before the ten-tailed beast could continue to develop, it was sacrificed by Loran to the Gedo Statue.

Loran removed all his clothes, stepped into the cauldron, and merged himself into the Outer Statue.

Countless robotic arms manipulate various instruments and probes, aiming them at the reaction vessel under the control of MoonCell.

As the countdown ended, Grell's Sword seemed to awaken, radiating a dazzling light. It was as if a long-dormant beast had finally been awakened, revealing its true power.

Endless natural energy and chakra, like a raging torrent, were frantically drawn from various dimensions by the Grell Sword, continuously converging into it.

A portion of the energy was directly poured into the Gedo Statue, making its already enormous body even larger and emanating a chilling aura. The other portion of the energy, under the precise control of MoonCell, was transformed into powerful energy pulses.

These energy pulses, like lightning, erupted from the energy injectors mounted on countless robotic arms, aiming precisely at the reaction vessel.

"This transformation may take several years," Loran murmured to himself, a sense of anticipation welling up within him.

What will be the outcome of this transformation? Will it be a world-shaking revolution, or an uncontrollable disaster? No one can predict; only time will tell.

Loran's physical body completely dissolved into the demonic statue of the Outer Path. However, at the very moment his body dissipated, his soul, like a long-imprisoned meteor, suddenly broke free from its restraints and drifted freely within the demonic statue of the Outer Path.

This soul is like a fetus, nestled in the amniotic fluid of the mother's womb, warm and comfortable, making one involuntarily want to fall asleep.

And so, Loran's soul gradually sank into that dark abyss and fell into a deep sleep.

In this deep sleep, his consciousness gradually blurred, leaving only his instinctive subconscious to continue operating. It was an innate instinct, requiring no thought or control, naturally guiding his soul to wander in this dark world.

Chapter 96 City: Five Emperors and Demons

In the Li Group's laboratory, Loran emerged from the pool, revealing his almost divine physique. He casually took a loose white robe and draped it over himself. Back in the analysis room, all the data from his transformation had been recorded and was being compiled and analyzed.

"Five Emperors Great Demon God Body"—this is the name of Loran's new body, the result of Loran's research on divine blood. In recent years, Loran has found the last type of metal-element divine blood; there are no other types of divine blood besides this.

Over the past few years, Loran has analyzed all the technical information contained in the five types of divine blood and combined it with the wisdom of the heavens to create his own unique divine blood, or divine body—the Five Emperors Great Demon God Body.

The Five Great Demons originated from Taoist concepts and differ from the demons in Buddhism.

In Buddhism, the concept of "demon" originates from the word "Mara," which refers to an obstacle preventing practitioners from attaining Buddhahood. In Taoism, the concept of "demon" is related to "grind," signifying a test or trial of a practitioner's spiritual progress; it belongs to the realm of deities.

The Five Great Demon Emperors appear in the Lingbao Wuliang Duren Shangpin Miaojing. They are a high-ranking group of gods in the Taoist pantheon, holding the position of "Ancestor of All Gods". They are not evil spirits, but "divine examiners" who test the aptitude of cultivators.

They use illusions such as beauty, fear, and greed to disturb cultivators, testing their concentration and resolve. For example, the Red Emperor Demon King "drains one's spirit and makes one violent," while the Black Emperor Demon King "drains one's kidney energy and makes one lustful." If a cultivator can see through the demonic appearances, they will attain enlightenment, and the demon kings will reveal themselves to help them. Once a cultivator passes the demonic test, the Five Great Demon Emperors will report to the Heavenly Court and grant them celestial status.

In the parlance of cultivation novels, you can view them as part of the tribulation of becoming an immortal.

Among the Five Great Demon Emperors, the Azure Demon King is named Poluo Wanxing. He has a blue face and red hair, commands the Nine Ugly Ones to roam the sky, and governs the liver qi in the human body.

The Crimson Emperor Demon King's name is Zhe Shangbai. He wears a vermilion crown and a blue feathered robe. In the human body, he is in charge of the heart's energy.

The White Emperor Demon King's name is Deng Yu'er. He has one head and six eyes, and his strength can shatter mountains. In the human body, he is in charge of lung qi.

The Black Emperor Demon King's name is Xiao Gongsun. He is ferocious in appearance and fond of killing. In the human body, he is associated with the kidney qi.

The Yellow Emperor, the Demon King, was named Wan Gong. He rode in a feathered chariot, sang folk songs, and was associated with the human body's temperament.

The Great Five Elements Technique, or Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Power, in the man-eating novel "Eternal Life" is derived from this. However, this divine power overemphasizes the Five Elements attributes of the Five Emperors Demon King while ignoring his "Divine Examiner" attribute.

The Five Emperors Demon Body created by Loran also draws on the Five Emperors Demon in Taoist concepts and the Five Emperors Demon's supernatural powers in "Eternal Life". Loran combines the Five Elements attributes of the Five Elements Divine Blood with the Heavenly Demon's supernatural powers to create this brand new Emperor Blood.

Its name is "Five Emperors' Great Demon Blood". Under the transformation of the Five Emperors' Great Demon Blood, all of Loran's organs were modified.

The heart was transformed into the Heart Palace, and the concept of the Yellow Court Classic was referenced. The visualized deity of the Heart Palace was the Red Emperor Demon King. With the Heart Palace as the core, the entire cardiovascular system and the tongue (the heart corresponds to the tongue orifice) were completely transformed.

The lungs are transformed into the Lung Palace, and the deity of the Lung Palace that is visualized is the White Emperor Demon King.

The liver is transformed into the Liver Palace, and the deity of the Liver Palace that is visualized is the Azure Emperor Demon King.

The kidneys are transformed into the Kidney Palace, and the deity of the Kidney Palace that is visualized is the Black Emperor Demon King.

The spleen is transformed into the Spleen Palace, and the deity of the Spleen Palace that is visualized is the Yellow Emperor Demon King.

With these five palaces as the core, the entire body's cardiovascular system, endocrine system, respiratory system, digestive system, sensory organs, and other components underwent comprehensive transformation.

It can be said that Loran has now surpassed the nine-rank martial arts system. He is not only a celestial being but also surpasses one. The only thing holding him back now is his meridian system.

This body can truly be called a divine or demonic body, but there is a small problem that urgently needs to be solved.

That is, despite his best efforts to strengthen his meridians, he was still unable to meet the energy demands of this Five Emperors Great Demon God Body. Although this body was powerful, it was a true energy hog.

Those divine organs, each one of them, are so powerful that they would kill a person if they were to operate them. Now, just by fully activating the Divine Eye, Loran could drain the true energy of a fourth-grade minor grandmaster in an instant.

According to Loran's calculations, the original Five Elements Divine Blood was also a major energy consumer. Once it was fully activated, it was beyond the capacity of the human body's meridian system. The Five Emperors Great Demon Body that Loran created based on the original Five Elements Divine Blood was a fully optimized, energy-saving version.

Even so, Loran's body is still like a car, with every part being exceptionally advanced, except for the engine, which is somewhat lagging behind.

However, the Five Elements Divine Blood does not contain any knowledge about meridian modification, as if meridians and the Five Elements Divine Blood are two separate projects, or that the Five Elements Divine Blood is too advanced compared to the current meridian system.

Loran referenced the meridian systems of other worlds and comprehensively upgraded his current body, making his meridian output far surpass that of other martial artists in this world. However, he is still not quite used to the full power of this super-strong physique, and his meridians can only support him in full-force combat for 10 minutes now, which is slightly stronger than Ultraman.

Most of the time, he operates this body at low power.

This is already considered good. If it were the original physical body, this body wouldn't even be able to exert its full strength. It's as if the human body's meridians in this world have an innate defect, and the first rank of martial arts is already the highest limit that the human body's meridians can bear.

They could either abandon the existing meridian system of this body and completely reconstruct the human meridian system according to knowledge from other worlds. This would undoubtedly be another massive undertaking.

Moreover, the divine body shaped by the blood of the Five Elements Gods is perfectly compatible with the meridians of humans in this world. If the meridians are completely reconstructed, Loran would have to make major changes to the already formed Five Emperors Great Demon God Body, which would be very troublesome.

Then Loran thought, aren't the celestial beings in this world able to naturally break through the first-grade limit?

How did they break through the limitations of the meridians?

So Loran decided to capture a few Celestials to study them.

Chapter 97 Urban Life: The Ji Clan's Celestial Being

The Ji family, one of the nine surnames of the Celestials, is an ancient family with a history of two thousand years, and one of the true masters of this world.

Mirror Lake, like a giant silver mirror, is inlaid on the earth. Its surface is as calm as a sleeping beauty, without a single ripple. The water is so clear that one can see right through to the bottom, where the sand, stones, and aquatic plants are clearly visible. However, this beautiful scenery is blocked by an invisible barrier. This lake is not open to the public; it is the private property of the Ji family.

Within the island in the lake, lush trees and vibrant flowers create a tranquil and peaceful scene. Hidden among this verdant vegetation is an antique building, its roof featuring traditional eaves and bracket sets, its walls constructed of thick bluestone, revealing the vicissitudes of time. However, upon entering the building, you will be surprised to find it equipped with all the modern amenities you would expect.

In one corner of the complex stands an exquisite pavilion, like a bright pearl set within this magnificent architectural ensemble. This three-story pavilion boasts unique designs and decorations on each floor, showcasing the taste and status of its owner.

At this very moment, Ji Deren, the contemporary celestial being of the Ji family, stood before the second-floor railing. He wore a bright yellow long robe, its hem fluttering in the breeze, making him appear like an immortal descending to earth. A gray cloak draped over his shoulders fluttered gently in the wind, further enhancing his elegant demeanor.

Ji Deren's gaze fell upon Mirror Lake below the pavilion. The lake was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the bright moon in the sky and the surrounding mountains. In the center of the lake, a bright moon hung on the water like a silver plate, complementing the moon in the sky and creating a beautiful scene.

Ji Deren had seen this scene countless times, but each time he viewed it, he could feel its beauty and tranquility. He gazed quietly at the moon reflected in the center of the lake, his mind gradually cleansed of distractions, as if he had become one with this natural beauty.

He has a handsome face and looks as young as an eighteen-year-old boy, but he is actually ninety years old.

In this world, martial arts masters of the first rank can live to be 150 years old, and those skilled in health preservation can live past 180. However, celestial beings can easily live past 300, and the previous generation of the Xu family's celestial beings even reached 435 years.

In terms of lifespan alone, there is a qualitative difference between celestial beings and those below them.

Therefore, Ji Deren, who was only over ninety years old, was just a little kid among the celestial beings. The Ji family also had an old celestial being who lived in another lake in the Ji family territory—Ping Lake, and did not live with Ji Deren.

The old celestial being of the Ji family has lived for nearly 360 years. He is very old and rarely shows his face. He has entrusted the important affairs of the family to Ji Deren, who is a newly born celestial being, and Ji Deren's younger brother, Ji Deyi, the head of the Ji family and a first-rank master.

Although the Celestials enjoy endless power and glory, wield the world's most extreme violence, and possess lifespans that ordinary people envy, their lives are quite boring.

Many elderly celestial beings cannot find any peers other than those of their own time. There are even quite a few celestial beings who outlive their own great-grandchildren to death. It is common for celestial beings to see the white-haired outlive the black-haired... uh, no, the black-haired outlive the white-haired.

Therefore, in many cases, only celestial beings can communicate with them. But how many celestial beings are there in this world? Only eighteen, a number that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

The celestial beings also undergo generational succession, so there are likely only three to five celestial beings of one's own generation.

Therefore, many celestial beings have peculiar personalities, which are forced out by long and lonely years.

Ji Deren hasn't reached that point yet. He is still full of energy and retains his curiosity about the world. Most importantly, his siblings of the same generation are still alive and can get together from time to time.

Suddenly, the calm lake surface seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, rippling outwards. The once mirror-like lake surface was wrinkled by this rare east wind, and the bright full moon reflected on the lake also seemed to sway slightly in the wind.

Ji Deren stood by the lake, captivated by the unexpected sight. Gazing at the full moon swaying in the water, a strange interest welled up within him. He smiled slightly, and his magical power flowed forth like a gentle stream, coalescing into a bright, full moon.

This full moon, formed from magical power, emitted a faint light in the void, echoing the real full moon in the sky. Following Ji Deren's will, this full moon began to ripple in the void, as if propelled by a powerful force.

This force not only affected the full moon formed from magical energy, but also caused the atmosphere of the entire island to fluctuate, with a gentle breeze causing the leaves to rustle.

"What should I name this little supernatural ability?" Ji Deren pondered, trying to come up with a name for his newly created supernatural ability for observing the scenery.

"So this is the power of celestial beings? Interesting." A male voice suddenly rang out behind Ji Deren.

Ji Deren was startled. Only another Celestial Being could get so close without being detected by him, a Celestial Being. It was absolutely impossible for a First-Rank Master to do that.

Who is it? Acting suspiciously, could it be trying to stir up a conflict between heaven and earth?

Ji Deren's muscles were taut, like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to be released at the first opportunity. At the same time, he quickly turned around to prepare for a possible attack from behind.

However, just as he was about to turn around, an unprecedentedly powerful aura surged from behind him like a tidal wave. This aura came so suddenly that Ji Deren had no time to react.

The source of this imposing aura was none other than Loran. He unleashed his Five Emperors Great Demon God Body without reservation, concentrating all his power into this single palm strike. This was his first confrontation with a Celestial Being, and to avoid being caught off guard, he decided to go all out, giving his opponent no chance to catch his breath.

As Loran unleashed his palm strike, the entire primordial energy of Mirror Lake seemed to be stirred up by an invisible hand, surging wildly into his palm. The power of this strike was beyond imagination, as if the whole world was trembling.

Ji Deren felt as if he had been swept into a terrifying storm of energy, the surrounding air compressed to its limit, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. Behind him, the powerful aura was like a god or demon that blotted out the sky, inspiring fear in everyone.

In Ji Deren's perception of the aura, this god-demon was enormous, towering to the heavens and earth, as if the entire world was under his control. He slowly extended a giant hand, so large that it seemed to encompass all things in the world.
