Orochimaru felt a gaze of death upon him the moment Lin Yu fused the Truth-Seeking Orb into his palm. If he couldn't block this move, he would die!
Without the slightest hesitation, Orochimaru slammed his hand on the ground, "Earth Style: Earth Release Wall!"
Rumble.
A thick earth wall rose before Orochimaru. Not enough, not enough! More was needed!
"Summoning: Rashomon!"
A ferocious, grim-faced giant gate rose from the ground. The red spikes gave a chilling sensation, as if ghostly wails could be heard. This was a simplified version of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama's Five-Door Rashomon!
Orochimaru had only managed to research the first gate, but even its defensive power was enough to block most ninjutsu.
But alas, Lin Yu's Silver Tailed Rebirth Explosion was not among them!
A massive storm swept over. The tiny earth wall served no purpose, crushed into powder in an instant. The tornado slammed into the ferocious Rashomon. It didn't last long before the first gate of Rashomon was torn apart by the violent tornado. Orochimaru, hiding behind Rashomon, was instantly engulfed by the hurricane.
However, Rashomon had absorbed some of the Silver Tailed Rebirth Explosion's power, preventing Orochimaru's body from being torn apart immediately. Yet, he was still being ravaged in the air, his body already covered in wounds.
Orochimaru felt his broken body, filled with unwillingness. He still had many ninjutsu he hadn't used, many strategies un-deployed, yet he couldn't even withstand one move from the opponent. Was this the gap in strength?
I am not convinced!
When the storm ended, Orochimaru's broken body fell onto the cliff, appearing lifeless.
Lin Yu floated to Orochimaru's side, frowning, and said coldly, "Come out! Before my eyes, all your tricks are useless."
*Hiss!*
As Lin Yu's words fell, Orochimaru, who was lying on the ground, suddenly rolled over like a carp. His cheeks puffed up, his mouth opened, and a slime-covered arm extended. Then, a sticky body slid out. It was Orochimaru's exclusive ninjutsu, the Great Serpent Body Replacement Technique.
*Gasp, gasp, gasp!*
Orochimaru panted heavily, his pale face devoid of blood. Using this move consumed a massive amount of chakra, not to mention he had also summoned Manda and Rashomon earlier. His already limited chakra reserves were completely depleted.
Orochimaru suddenly envied the vast chakra reserves of the Senju and Uzumaki clans, who could unleash ninjutsu without restraint and recover soon after. He truly envied them. It seemed he would have to research this in the future!
"Cough, cough, cough... Why didn't you kill me?"
Orochimaru struggled to stand up, looking at Lin Yu with complex eyes, filled with fear, hatred, unwillingness, and desire...
Lin Yu, unaware of Orochimaru's myriad emotions, said plainly, "An ant crawls on the ground; do you have to step on it?"
"You!"
Orochimaru's pale face flushed with a trace of red. His clenched fists dug into his flesh, his nails sinking deep. He, Orochimaru, was actually described as an ant one day! Damn it!
"Is that not the case? Open your eyes and see clearly! This is the power of a god!"
Lin Yu's indifferent eyes narrowed. He raised his right hand and beckoned towards the sky. Orochimaru, following Lin Yu's gesture, looked at the sky with confusion, wondering what Lin Yu was up to.
Soon, Orochimaru's pupils constricted. A fiery light gradually enlarged in his pupils. What was that! It was a meteorite! How was this possible!? He could actually summon meteorites!
In the sky, a beautiful streak of fire became increasingly conspicuous in the dark sky. As it approached, a fiery tail flame cut through the sky, leaving a deep裂痕, a mark of the clouds being torn open.
"This... this..." Orochimaru could no longer speak, for the meteorite had already reached the sky above him. The suffocating sense of death choked his throat!
"Heh, it's not over yet." Lin Yu withdrew his hand, leisurely admiring the meteor shower he had created.
Orochimaru looked at the sky again, his expression instantly turning ashen. This attack would surely kill him!
In the night sky, it rained meteorites like a meteor shower. Not large, about ten times smaller than Madara's Heavenly Destruction Star. The number, however, was not small, perhaps a dozen or so... enough to cover this area, and there was no escape.
Without any surprise, no stubborn, big-nosed Ohnoki appeared. The meteorites burned through the air, leaving a red streak across the sky before plunging directly into the earth.
*Boom...*
Violent explosions echoed through the wilderness. Soaring flames were exceptionally striking in the night. Countless rocks shattered into dust, obscuring the view.
When all the dust settled, two figures descended from the sky. They were Lin Yu and Orochimaru, whom he had lifted with gravity.
Orochimaru, at this moment, looked around blankly. Where was the cliff from before? It was gone!
Orochimaru looked at the deep crater before him. He realized he knew nothing about power. No wonder the opponent asked if he was worthy. He, Orochimaru, was truly not worthy!
Lin Yu saw Orochimaru's dejected expression and thought: I haven't even used my Golden Rebirth Explosion, and you're already depressed?
Lin Yu deactivated his Tenseigan Chakra Mode and froze his Tenseigan. Without even looking at the stunned Orochimaru, his figure clad in a black robe gradually merged into the night.
"With your strength, you are not worthy of joining the Eternal Life Organization. However... your research capabilities are quite good, and you can become a research member of my Eternal Life Organization. Keep up the good work, little one!"
Orochimaru's ashen face twitched. He remained silent. After a long while, when his state of mind finally calmed down, his golden vertical pupils gazed deeply in the direction Lin Yu had left. He turned and merged into the darkness... One day, I, Orochimaru, will also possess this god-like power!
...
*Whoosh!*
After beating up Orochimaru, Lin Yu felt much better. Of course, this beating was more of a spiritual one, making Orochimaru doubt himself. Lin Yu also wanted to motivate Orochimaru, to make him focus on research and not bother with those trivial schemes and tricks, which were useless!
In the face of power, all schemes and tricks were fleeting illusions, shattered with a single blow!
Lin Yu put his black robe and crescent mask into a scroll and pondered slightly: Should I find someone to custom-make a set of exclusive clothes for myself? These cheap ones bought from roadside stalls cannot reflect the temperament and majesty of the Eternal Life Organization at all!
Speaking of custom-making... it seems people from the Land of Artisans have some reputation. I should go and see if there's any potential there later!
Lin Yu sank his consciousness and looked at the line of text, feeling a slight pang of heartache!
Unlimited Tenseigan Usage (Remaining 1 hour 27 minutes - Frozen).
What a waste! I shouldn't have summoned meteorites. Wouldn't it have been better to use the Golden Rebirth Explosion to cut open the earth? It would have saved effort and time!
Lin Yu regretted it. Every minute and second lost would never return!
A golden magic circle flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and his figure disappeared...
As for whether to plant trees and forests in the damaged land... would he get maintenance fees for that?
