Chapter 1014: Exchange Blows! Exchange Blows!
In the clouds of the troposphere, about two thousand meters above the ground in the Land of Swamps.
Imu, who had just annihilated a demon god with a single move, 'Gamma Ray Beam', wore a flowing white robe with gold trim. His sharp golden eagle eyes stared down at the Gate of the Underworld below.
"Hmph, this future sight is really useful, always giving me the upper hand!"
This was also why he directly sent the Guardian Giant, Kashi, there.
Because he had already 'seen' what would appear inside and 'seen' the result of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit blocking it.
However, Kashi's Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability was clearly not developed enough to completely seal it off.
In Imu's future sight, when the third wave of black energy erupted from inside, the barrier Kashi created would be completely shattered.
Yes... that's right, the barrier of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, which represents the concept of absolute defense, was shattered!
Because the opponent was the Ruler of the Second Layer of the Underworld, a true supreme demon.
Adramelech!
As a transmigrator, Imu also knew that this Adramelech was not an ordinary supreme demon.
It was also the assistant of the Demon King, Lucifero.
It was also Adramelech who, in the canon, gouged out the heart of the defeated Lucifero.
In short, it was a demon with a somewhat innocent appearance but extremely calculating, truly cunning.
As for its strength, the five words 'supreme demon' were enough to prove its power.
At least Naamah and Lilith, if they didn't combine, would likely be unable to defeat Adramelech.
Of course.
As for whether Imu could defeat it, he didn't know himself.
Because in the short future he had seen, he did not fight the opponent.
He was also very willing to act according to this future.
There was really no need to start a full-scale war with the Underworld now, and the risk was also very high.
This risk didn't refer to Adramelech, but rather to Lucifero...
Therefore, when the second wave of black energy flow surged out from the Gate of the Underworld, fiercely impacting the barrier, Imu flipped his right palm and created a mass of rapidly rotating white mist.
When this mist exploded outwards from his palm.
Instantly, a spherical pale blue space formed around the Gate of the Underworld, seemingly out of thin air.
And that black spatial rift named the Gate of the Underworld began to slowly shrink within this pale blue space.
Handling a spatial rift with space ability, this is what you call being professional!
At the same time.
Just as Imu had seen in his future, the third wave of black energy flow shot out from inside.
Clearly, Adramelech inside was unwilling to let the gate be blocked just like that.
And this time, its attack was ruthless. Even the barrier, which had the concept of absolute defense bolstering it, began to show cracks under the continuous energy barrage.
Finally, after a standoff of about ten seconds.
It completely exploded with a loud noise.
Like glass being shattered by a heavy blow, a large amount of transparent fragments splashed out. Some even scraped against the surface of Kashi's golden armor, leaving noticeable dents.
At this moment, Kashi's eyes inside the golden helmet were filled with complex emotions.
Although Lord Imu had told him before that the Barrier-Barrier Fruit's absolute defense would completely become history today.
He had been somewhat skeptical before.
After all, neither his own experience over the years nor the data/files recorded by previous ability users had ever shown an example of a barrier being broken frontally.
But the scene unfolding before him forced Kashi to admit that his barrier was indeed not absolute defense.
Speaking of which, no matter which world, anything claiming to be 'absolute defense', whether it's a human, an ability, or something else, its ultimate fate is never good.
All strengths and weaknesses in attack and defense are always relative; there is no such thing as absolute.
However, the spatial rift of the Gate of the Underworld had shrunk to less than twenty centimeters during this process, looking like a thin black line hanging in mid-air.
Despite this, Adramelech inside clearly still had no intention of giving up.
Imu could feel the struggle on the spatial plane.
Adramelech was trying to control the Gate of the Underworld to resist the pressure from the Space-Space Fruit ability (Op-Op Fruit), attempting to prevent the black rift from shrinking further.
But it was clear that its level on the spatial plane was not as high as Imu's.
This indicated that Adramelech's magic power attribute was not space!
If it were the true Space Devil, Beelzebub.
Imu might not be an opponent, but Adramelech was far from that level.
Therefore, the cracks of the Gate of the Underworld were still slowly shrinking at a visible rate...
Since that was the case, Adramelech simply gave up control of the Gate of the Underworld and directly manifested as an Evil Black Lightning bolt, attempting to rush into the Ninja World.
Once it dealt with the troublesome guys outside, it could reopen the Gate of the Underworld anytime!
But just as this Evil Black Lightning appeared in the Ninja World for less than half a second, and was about to kill the golden giant blocking its path in the next step.
The golden giant's figure disappeared with a 'swish', replaced by a flame slash chopping down from above.
This blazing fire glowed with brilliant gold and red, originating from a long saber with a completely golden blade and a dark red scabbard.
And the master holding this long saber was a long-haired man wearing a white robe, with golden eagle eyes as sharp as a hawk.
It was Imu, and the blade in his hand was Xihe!
"Get back, Adramelech!"
[Boom----]
Instantly, the black lightning turned into a huge, ink-black demonic claw.
But just as it formed, it was met with a frontal slash from the flame slash.
In an instant, the rolling black mist and the gold and red intertwined firelight spread out in two directions, until they were blocked by the Four Red Yang Formation in the distance.
Otherwise, they would have swept across the entire Land of Swamps, or even spread further.
Time flowed by, seemingly slow but actually fast, without anyone noticing.
It took away the light, heat, and all the evil aura from the scene.
Leaving behind only a vast expanse of magma and cracked scorched earth displayed before the line of sight of multiple parties.
But what all eyes were focused on was not these.
It was the high altitude!
The black rift that had previously poured out countless demons was gone.
The Gate of the Underworld was gone!
At the same time, the golden giant was also gone!
As for Imu, they actually hadn't seen him from beginning to end.
Because the entire process happened too quickly, even with insight as strong as the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, they only saw the blurred afterimage left in the air when Kashi teleported.
And when Imu's figure appeared, it was already filled with dazzlingly bright firelight.
What followed was the earth-shattering loud noise and energy explosion...
So, was this the end?
Ōnoki, Jiraiya, Rasa, Kitsuchi, Eiji Kazahana, Ay, Daichi Terumi, as well as Oven, Onigumo, Doberman, and other experts from the two realms, wondered inwardly.
It seemed to have ended a bit too suddenly?
They had originally prepared themselves and had the resolve for a desperate battle against the demons of the Second Layer of the Underworld!
But now, it seemed they didn't need to?
At the same time.
In the high altitude above the cloud layer, Imu reappeared here, with two Giant God Soldiers standing behind him, their backs to the sunset.
[How do you know my name?]
[I remember your aura, human!!]
Imu recalled the words still lingering in his ears, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards, and he sneered softly:
"No need to rush, we'll exchange blows sooner or later. For now, you should focus on recovering from your wound, Adramelech..."
That slash just now didn't just contain Xihe's sunlight flames; it also contained the strength of a slash that reached the Sword Saint Realm, Colorless Haki, and top-tier body technique, as well as space penetration added by the Space-Space Fruit.
He even mixed in a bit of the Lord of the Underworld's death divine power.
To put it simply, that slash just now.
Completely annihilated the arm Adramelech had extended!
This wasn't a simple cut that could be instantly regenerate.
The death divine power entwined on the wound was enough to make the opponent suffer for a while, unless the opponent could find a big shot to help.
Uh...
Imu was instantly speechless.
Because Adramelech would likely go to Lucifero for treatment.
Ah, forget it, forget it.
At this moment, Imu suddenly looked up and took a deep look at the night sky above, which was gradually showing starlight.
Heh~~
Immediately, he took Kashi and Oimo behind him and instantly disappeared...
Thank you very much for the 100 Qidian Coin tip from kl Hall Master! Bow! Thank you for your support and encouragement!
