# Chapter 1230: Finally, the Ten-Tails is Released!
[Boom!!!]
Above the firmament, which the World Government had renamed the Sand Hidden Region from the Land of Wind.
As the white meteor and the scarlet-golden electric flash instantly streaked across the entire sky.
They collided fiercely at the center, immediately unleashing an earth-shattering explosion, one of countless times since the battle began.
Extremely brilliant energy radiance illuminated almost every corner of the desert.
The mushroom cloud, carrying scorching fireballs, shot straight into the clouds.
A moment later.
An unimaginably fierce shockwave descended from the sky.
It caused a new round of devastation and destruction to the already dilapidated yellow sand earth.
However, this time, a change seemed to occur that hadn't happened before.
Within the eerie green dimensional space, Aramaki, Little Kaguya, and Hagoromo were pleasantly surprised to see the white shadow representing Otsutsuki Isshiki.
After the collision, it fell like a diagonal supersonic white laser, rapidly streaking through the void with bursts of thunderous sonic booms.
Finally, it heavily crashed into a certain area of sand in the distance.
[Rumble!]
In an instant, a giant curtain of sand, like a tsunami, was stirred up.
At the same time, it triggered an extremely violent, large-scale earthquake, forming waves of yellow sand that continuously spread out in all directions.
"Is this the strength of the founder of the World Government..."
Aramaki's mind was already too shocked to calm down.
He had learned Im's identity from Otsutsuki Hagoromo's mouth.
This was a supreme being that only people who had reached the rank of Admiral or above could know and come into contact with!
He was the sole Master of the Empty Throne, the Celestial Dragon God of the Celestial Dragons (the 'Descendants of God'), and also the highest ruler of the World Government!
This made Aramaki feel uneasy ever since just now.
Because his first meeting with this Lord Im.
Was in such a pathetic state of being beaten up and having over a dozen Chakra rods stuck in his body...
Embarrassing, too embarrassing. Will this affect his promotion to Admiral?
No way! I am Green Bull!
Outside.
Within a circular sand pit with a diameter of nearly one kilometer.
The ragged Otsutsuki Isshiki, supporting himself with one hand on the ground beneath him, which had been burned into glass and was emitting wisps of heat, and covering the bloody wound on his chest with the other hand, stood up with great difficulty.
"Pfft----"
But just as he was about to stand up, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his already pale face became even paler.
His weak figure could only half-kneel on the ground, desperately heaving his chest and gasping for air.
Otsutsuki Isshiki simply couldn't believe the current situation.
He, who had recovered to full strength, still couldn't beat that guy named Im?
At the beginning of the battle, it was actually fine. He felt that the opponent's speed, strength, and other aspects were on par with his own.
However, that swordsmanship was truly exquisite.
His black Chakra rods, if not enhanced with chakra, simply couldn't block the incoming blade.
He was certain that even looking at the entire Otsutsuki Homeworld, no one could compare to Im in terms of swordsmanship skill alone.
Of course, this wasn't strange.
Although the Otsutsuki Clan also used weapons, they placed more emphasis on taijutsu.
As for perception.
Without the help of the giant cube, Otsutsuki Isshiki perceived Im's Future Sight.
But he immediately used his Byakugan and also used his precognitive ability to counter it.
In this way, both sides cancelled each other out in this regard.
It was just that one place was very strange.
His 'Sukunahikona' could clearly shrink and deal with the lightning, flame, and blade light attacks released by the opponent.
But it was completely ineffective against the blade in Im's hand!
Overall, Otsutsuki Isshiki was confident about winning this battle.
The only concern he needed to worry about was whether he could end it quickly.
Because he only had less than three days of lifespan left!
Before that, he had to find Aramaki, or temporarily find a 'Vessel' to parasitize.
But who would have thought that Im's strength would continuously improve during the fierce battle.
Especially that power called Haki, which became increasingly powerful.
The pale golden aura almost enveloped the entire battlefield, and Otsutsuki Isshiki only felt the air around him becoming increasingly thick.
No matter what action he took, he would always feel an invisible force squeezing in from all directions.
Forcing him to release more chakra to resist it...
Until just now, he completely couldn't block that one strike!
"Damn it, does that mean he didn't use his full strength at first?"
Otsutsuki Isshiki half-knelt on the ground, his face ashen.
Just then, Im's figure slowly descended, finally floating in mid-air and looking down at the opponent.
"Your strength is good. I haven't had a serious fight in a long time. This time, I recalled quite a bit of battle experience."
Im's praise for Otsutsuki Isshiki was sincere.
The temporarily recovered Otsutsuki Isshiki, even if the current 'Warrior God' Garp were to fight him, probably wouldn't gain much advantage.
The key was that Otsutsuki Isshiki had this strength a thousand years ago, and there was no time restriction.
Of course, in the thousand years after that, he actually wasted time and didn't improve at all.
Instead, due to the lifespan restriction, his comprehensive strength was greatly reduced.
But it was enough to let myself warm up.
Especially that 'Sukunahikona' was very interesting.
The strength of Otsutsuki Isshiki's dojutsu power was so strong that it could actually threaten 'Xihe' in his hand.
Every time, the moment after the dojutsu power was applied to the blade, he had to actively activate another ability of Colorless Haki.
Eliminate special abilities!
That is to say, the moment Sukunahikona was about to shrink Xihe, he would use Haki to purify and dispel its effect.
To be fair, this was already very impressive.
If it were someone slightly weaker, the opponent's ability simply couldn't break through the Colorless Haki attached to the blade.
Let alone requiring him to actively defend.
But Otsutsuki Isshiki could. His evolved Rinnegan contained extremely powerful dojutsu power.
"So, is this your full strength now, Ruler of the World Government?"
Otsutsuki Isshiki endured the pain on his body, stood up, and looked up to directly face Im's always calm gaze.
"About that..."
Im seemed to be thinking seriously about his question, and a moment later, gave an answer.
"In terms of swordsmanship and taijutsu, I indeed had a good time, but to say full strength, it's still a little distance away."
He saw Im raise his right hand and make a gesture of pinching with his thumb and index finger.
Looking at the distance of less than a centimeter between his two fingers.
Below, Otsutsuki Isshiki let out a breath of relief, and at the same time, secretly thought:
"It seems that although there is a gap, it's not very big."
It wasn't that he was naive.
Mainly because he didn't believe that Im, being a non-Otsutsuki, was much stronger than himself.
This was the pride in his bones, believing that there was no race in the entire universe more excellent or stronger than the Otsutsuki.
Since that was the case, then there was still hope. He still had a trump card.
"There's no other way. I can only summon you out early..."
Under Im's gaze filled with interest, Otsutsuki Isshiki suddenly roared up at the sky.
"Come out, Ten-Tails!"
"Vent your anger to your heart's content, and destroy everything in this world completely!"
At the same time.
A large amount of black-red energy appeared behind Otsutsuki Isshiki and rapidly spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Of course, he didn't think the Ten-Tails could beat Im, but the Ten-Tails' world-destroying destructive power would definitely be able to hold the opponent back.
Because the opponent was the ruler of the World Government, and the Ninja World was currently under the rule of the World Government!
However, Im's next sentence caused Otsutsuki Isshiki's face to change drastically.
"Have you finally released the Ten-Tails? I have been waiting for a long time..."
"What?!"
