My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 169

As the main body descended, the Mōryō within the seal continued to release its eerie power, attempting to bewitch your Wood Release clone and release it.

However, when your main body truly descended, enveloped by the power of the Fire Rule, even with a considerably strong ancient seal separating the two, the Mōryō trembled, instantly clearing its mind significantly!

You paid no attention to the seal before you, merely activating the fully mastered rule power. Your body and soul transformed into flames, effortlessly penetrating the seal and entering the inner space.

Initially, upon seeing you enter, the Mōryō thought you were a demigod preparing to kill it and devour its contained rule power.

It mobilized all the power it could use.

Yet, you remained unmoved, merely activating your Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, observing the Mōryō’s every move with interest, learning its method of wielding power.

Because you knew, there was a vast chasm between fully mastering rule power and merely possessing it!

One could only say that there were differences even among demigods!

Unless the opponent possessed rule power like the Six Paths power, which originated from divine authority, coupled with divine power condensed from sufficiently complex rule imprints like Truth-Seeking Orbs…

Then, even if they hadn’t fully mastered the rules, they could still contend with you.

But the Mōryō clearly lacked such formidable strength.

In your eyes,

Although the Mōryō displayed three rule powers—“Immortality,” “Greed,” and “Shadow”—it was far from fully mastering them.

At most, it was slightly more proficient in the application of “Void” than you were. Power of this caliber simply couldn’t exert any pressure on you.

As for divine power, the Mōryō possessed two types: one was the faith power once demonstrated by the Evil God, and the other was somewhat similar to natural energy.

But both types of divine power were pitifully weak!

Even though you currently hadn’t mastered any divine power, the chakra generated by your Ōtsutsuki body was as vast as the sea, and its quality was far beyond what ordinary ninjas could compare to. Even with a one-to-ten-thousand exchange ratio with divine power, you could easily overwhelm the opponent!

However, although you coveted the Mōryō’s power, you restrained your desire.

Because the Mōryō was the key to resurrecting the Death God!

Just then,

A black light pillar, condensed from rule power and divine power, shot towards you.

The Mōryō launched its strongest attack!

Blaze Release!

You waved your hand, conjuring a wall of fire.

This flame appeared ordinary, yet it contained power capable of distorting space, easily neutralizing the Mōryō’s strongest attack!

Simultaneously, you released an overwhelming chakra and ocular power, directly subduing the Mōryō to the ground with sheer strength.

Now, the Mōryō could finally listen to you properly:

After some communication, the Mōryō also learned your purpose: to rely on its power to resurrect the Death God, who had lost its consciousness.

Since you harbored no hostility, the Mōryō admitted that it was indeed a fragment that had fallen off the Death God’s body when it was severely injured.

That was when it was attempting to kill Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and cooperate with Kaguya to seize the God Tree fruit:

Due to the effects of the primeval divine war, the Death God’s injuries had not healed, and its main body had not descended to the present world.

Instead, a portion of its consciousness had attached itself to a demigod clone containing rule power, attempting to ambush from the shadows.

However, it underestimated Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

Unlike the Ōtsutsuki who perished in the divine war and only crudely used rule power, Isshiki’s mastery of power was extremely refined.

He was a being like you, who had mastered rule power to its extreme!

Moreover, as an Ōtsutsuki who could access the fruit, Isshiki undoubtedly possessed far more rules than you!

It could be said that at that time, although Isshiki was a demigod, he possessed the strength to fight a true god!

The Death God’s clone was no match, but as an old-brand deity, it ultimately severely injured Isshiki’s soul, allowing Kaguya to successfully complete the sacrifice…

But this clone was completely shattered and sealed, thus becoming the later Mōryō…

And due to the loss of the clone, the Death God was once again severely injured.

Before it could recover,

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, after being taught the divine power of natural energy by the rogue toad of Mount Myōboku, voluntarily abandoned his physical body and entered the Pure Land!

After a battle, he once again severely injured the Death God, thereby seizing the Death God’s divine domain.

The Death God suffered successive heavy injuries. After leaving the Uzumaki clan as contractors, relying on intermittent sacrifices to barely recover its strength, it completely lost consciousness…

Upon confirming this information, you were certain that the Death God would definitely be your natural ally!

Furthermore, after fusing the two, the Death God’s main body was already devoid of consciousness.

Therefore, the Mōryō’s will would inevitably take precedence.

This way, on the path ahead, you would surely gain an ally you could trust to watch your back!

As for summoning the Death God, it was not a difficult task.

You took out the Scroll of Seals, turned to the page documenting the Reaper Death Seal, and with a glance, understood the method.

Immediately afterward, you directly summoned the Death God’s body!

You looked up at the Death God hovering in mid-air, clutching a blade in its mouth, then looked down at the Mōryō, which resembled a cloud of mist.

You began to ponder what sealing jutsu or rule to use to reassemble the two.

The Mōryō said that you only needed to activate the final step of the Reaper Death Seal, setting the target as the Mōryō, and seal it into the Death God’s abdominal cavity.

However, this would require you to resist the Death God’s power to seal your soul along with it!

It wasn’t impossible. You had only recently mastered the Fire Rule. Although it was perfectly mastered, you weren’t familiar with fighting deities.

At this moment, this unconscious Death God’s body was just the right object for practice!

As the Reaper Death Seal was activated, the Death God’s body used its自带短刀 to cut open its abdomen, then extended two large hands, intending to draw both the Mōryō and you into its belly.

However, before the large hands could actively grasp, the Mōryō eagerly merged into the Death God’s abdomen.

On the other side, you directly used the grasping large hand as an attack target.

A fist condensed from flames clashed with it.

Boom!

With a single blow, the flames dispersed, but the Death God’s body also didn’t fare well, being struck backward and colliding with the wall of the sealed space.

The violent tremor caused the entire sealed space to shake intensely.

You, on the other hand, marveled at the Death God’s physical strength. The flaming fist just now was capable of distorting space.

Even if you were the one delivering the attack, without activating Susano’o, relying solely on your physical body, you would have been severely injured. Yet, the Death God merely recoiled, and not even a visible scratch was left on its palm!

At this moment, the Death God, having suffered an attack, though without reason, instinctively attacked you again.

The Death God clasped its hands into claws, tearing at the air, and several shadow-like cracks appeared in space.

The cracks rapidly assailed you!
