"This technique might have the potential to kill me!"
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's expression grew increasingly solemn.
She felt the presence of a rule that could erase everything. This technique seemed to be connected to the destructive laws of the universe, capable of destroying everything, even an immortal body.
If she were to take this hit head-on, even if she didn't die, she would be severely injured, and the injury would likely be difficult to recover from, taking a long time to heal.
It was similar to her All-Killing Ash Bones, which also involved the power of rules, directly disintegrating the opponent's body. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveIꜰire.net
Even Six Paths level beings wouldn't dare to take her All-Killing Ash Bones head-on. The reasoning was similar.
However, her All-Killing Ash Bones didn't move particularly fast, giving strong individuals a chance to dodge.
But Beerus's technique was much harder to evade.
This was the reason she feared Beerus so much!
At this moment, the introduction to this technique arrived.
[Ninjutsu Ranking No. 5: Destruction Technique, User: Beerus. This technique involves the power of destructive rules, capable of destroying all matter, erasing the original structure of objects, and bypassing the immortality trait to directly obliterate the opponent's body. Only overwhelming power can resist this technique.]
Hidan: "Even an immortal body couldn't withstand such a technique, it would be directly obliterated, and the area of effect is also massive. This move is truly terrifying!"
Uzumaki Naruto: "I don't know what to say, other than that this is awesome!"
Haruno Sakura: "What are rules?"
Third Hokage: "I'm not really sure what rules are either."
Senju Hashirama: "I don't understand what rules are either, but they must be something very powerful!"
Great Toad Sage: "Rules, well, I know a little about them. For example, rain falling from the sky is a natural rule. To manipulate the power of rules would be like controlling the rule that makes rain fall. If someone tried to block the rain from falling, they would be directly pierced by it. That's the power of mastering the rule of rain. Similarly, with fire, if someone tries to prevent the fire from burning them, no matter what they do, if someone has mastered the rule of fire, not even an immortal body could withstand it. The rule of destruction means destroying everything, and no matter the situation, nothing can stop the rule of destruction. Unless you transcend the rule of destruction, breaking the rule!"
Third Hokage: "I see!"
Mei Terumi: "But we ordinary ninjas have no way to control the power of rules, and Beerus's technique can indeed manipulate these rules, which is truly terrifying!"
Fourth Raikage: "I'm quite curious about the top four techniques now!"
Senju Hashirama: "The top four techniques must be truly terrifying to the extreme!"
"Beerus's Destruction Technique is indeed incredibly powerful!"
She knew that Beerus possessed this technique but had never fought him because Destruction was too dangerous, unlike the Destruction Fist, a taijutsu technique.
This was essentially a sure-kill move!
Although Beerus needed ten minutes to cast it again after using it once, she still wouldn't dare to try and block it. If she failed to withstand it, she could be killed in an instant.
Thus, she wouldn't foolishly attempt to take on the Destruction Technique!
The only time Beerus used this technique on someone else was in a sparring match against his master, Ye Tian.
In the end, Beerus unleashed the technique, but nothing happened. There was no destruction of Ye Tian's body at all.
This was because Ye Tian's body was too powerful, and he had many life-preserving methods, so Beerus couldn't destroy his body.
Since it didn't work, it looked like nothing had happened on the surface.
After some time passed, the fourth-ranked ninjutsu on the list was finally revealed.
Ye Tian's figure appeared in the livestream. His tall figure, long hair flowing in the air, wearing a mask, exuded a unique aura, like an ethereal, unparalleled nobleman!
At this moment, Ye Tian performed a technique.
He drew out a sword, the Sword of Hidden Light.
"Sage Art Galaxy Descends from the Nine Heavens!"
Ye Tian held the Sword of Hidden Light, and senjutsu chakra surged. With a single sword strike, he tore open the void. The sky for miles around was split open, revealing another dimension before everyone's eyes.
Moreover, the sword light directly slashed into that other dimension, tearing the ground within it, creating an endless abyss.
What's more, after this sword strike, the space in the sky didn't immediately repair itself but instead recovered at a very slow pace.
"The master's technique is indeed powerful!"
Kumoko immediately praised.
"Master, that's your Galaxy Descends from the Nine Heavens, right?" Honghong asked.
"Yes!" Ye Tian replied. "This technique is performed in conjunction with my Sword of Hidden Light. It's a sword-based senjutsu that condenses senjutsu chakra to the extreme, releasing it through the Sword of Hidden Light. It can instantly shatter space. If one's cultivation is high enough, a single strike could sever the stars in the heavens and countless worlds."
"Master can surely slash through the stars of the Nine Heavens and countless worlds with just one sword!" Kumoko praised.
"Master is invincible!" Garaga chimed in.
"Master, I bet all these ninjas in the livestream are shocked by your Sage Art!" Yaya laughed.
"Of course, they're definitely stunned!" Rongrong added.
At that moment, countless ninjas in the livestream were indeed dumbfounded.
[Fourth Raikage: What kind of Sage Art is this? A single sword tore the sky apart, creating a space rift that stretches for thousands of miles! It even pierced through to another dimension, ripping apart the ground of that world! I can't even imagine what kind of attack this is!]
[Kakashi: I'm stunned. What kind of power is this? Even if the five great ninja villages combined forces, they wouldn't survive a single slash!]
[Might Guy: If I opened the Eight Gates, it would be pointless; even fully opened, I'd still be killed in an instant by that slash!]
[Mei Terumi: That slash was so cool. If only I could marry him!]
[Tsunade: The Fifth Mizukage is daydreaming again!]
[Mei Terumi: Mind your own business!]
Most Kage-level ninjas just thought Ye Tian was powerful, but had no further thoughts. However, some schemers began to question everything.
For example, Obito was completely terrified. Just this one Sage Art was enough for Ye Tian to kill him countless times.
Even Uchiha Madara was in shock.
"Even if I resurrect, can I really dare to carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan?" Uchiha Madara wondered.
With such a powerful person around, if he dared to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to control the entire ninja world, this person would definitely not be pulled into the illusion. And if they got angry, one slash could kill him.
"No, I still have to resurrect, but I might not carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi. However, capturing the Tailed Beasts, gathering the nine Tailed Beasts, summoning the Ten-Tails, and becoming its Jinchuriki are things I must do. Only by becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki can I instantly step into the Six Paths level and become a powerful Six Paths-level being," Uchiha Madara thought.
In any case, he dared not offend Ye Tian.
"Ye Tian's power is terrifying!!!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki furrowed her brows deeply. The power of that sword slash exceeded her expectations.
Although she could traverse dimensions at will, she couldn't slice through thousands of miles of void with a single slash, causing the space to be unable to recover instantly. Such swordsmanship could definitely destroy her immortal body.
Moreover, this was only the fourth place on the Ninjutsu Ranking; there were still three techniques ahead of it.
Kaguya Otsutsuki began to think that she might really not be a match for Ye Tian, unless she could gain a huge transformation from the Golden List and surpass the Six Paths level.
In that case, she would have absolute confidence in defeating Ye Tian.
"Or maybe I could use the power of the Otsutsuki Clan, have them deal with Ye Tian, and I'll hide in the shadows. Let them fight to the death, and then I'll make my move!" Kaguya Otsutsuki thought.
However, she still underestimated Ye Tian.
Ye Tian might be cautious and low-profile, but his strength was terrifying. What the Golden List revealed was just a fraction of his true power.
She would never have any hope of defeating Ye Tian.
As time slowly passed, while everyone was still shocked by the impact of the Sage Art Galaxy Descends from the Nine Heavens, the third place on the Ninjutsu Ranking was finally about to be announced.
In the Golden List livestream, Ye Tian's figure appeared once again. Everyone knew that the third-place technique on the Ninjutsu Ranking also belonged to Ye Tian.
"What is Master's third Sage Art?" Garaga asked curiously in a low voice.
"You'll find out soon enough. Stop asking, just watch the livestream!" Yaya replied.
"Alright!" Garaga cowered and immediately turned to watch the livestream.
Soon, Ye Tian in the video began to demonstrate another Sage Art.
