Jiang Chen smiled as he asked this. The next moment, before Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could react. "Boom!" His figure was instantly sent flying. "Rumble!" The distant mountains were directly pierced through as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's figure was embedded into the mountain. Meanwhile, Jiang Chen's figure had already appeared at the spot where Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had just been. "How fast!" Jiang Xi murmured, her eyes shining as she looked at Jiang Chen. "Use all your power! Otherwise, you won't have another chance!" Jiang Chen spoke calmly, his gaze directed at the falling Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in the distance. "Damned! You lowly humans!" An angry voice echoed from afar as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki emerged from the rubble, and his figure began to change rapidly. With just one strike. In a single blow, he had already felt Jiang Chen's strength. More importantly, this strike had pushed his current body to its limits. He had no choice but to rely on this imperfect body for his reincarnation. In the blink of an eye. His figure underwent a complete transformation; the original monk appearance vanished, replaced by the standard Ōtsutsuki form. Pale skin and grayish-white hair, with a long curved horn growing from the back of his head like a crown. His forehead bore a single eyebrow above his right eye, which had a golden circular pattern, surrounded by eight triangles, while his left eye was Byakugan. At this moment, he had fully completed his reincarnation. And the original energy response further increased at this moment. "Lowly humans, defying the gods comes with a price." Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked at Jiang Chen with eyes filled with rage. A surge of chakra poured forth, a powerful aura pressing down on the entire space. "Is that so?" Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, looking at the fully reincarnated Ōtsutsuki Isshiki with a faint smile. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's strength was indeed formidable. In terms of energy alone, this one was likely around a thousand. Compared to Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, he was undoubtedly much stronger. More importantly, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was different from Ōtsutsuki Urashiki; he had almost perfect control over his power. This meant he could fully unleash his strength. However, compared to Jiang Chen at this moment, a thousand battle power was no different from one or two battle power. Suddenly, Jiang Chen tilted his head. The next moment. "Whoosh whoosh!" Two beams of black light whizzed past. The power that Naruto and Sasuke could not withstand was incredibly easy for Jiang Chen to evade. At that moment, as Jiang Chen dodged, two massive cubes suddenly appeared, crashing down toward him. "Forget it! Let's end this!" Jiang Chen spoke calmly. In the next moment, his figure moved instantly. "Boom!" "Rumble!" The black cubes fell. A huge roar (explosion) echoed. However, at this moment, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's expression changed. Because at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared right in front of him. Even Byakugan couldn't catch his movement. "Boom!" Immediately, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki felt a pain in his abdomen, and in the blink of an eye, his figure was sent flying again, crashing through the distant mountains. But it didn't stop there. This time was different from before. Jiang Chen had no intention of using energy to destroy Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's body. So he didn't sweep with chakra power. He simply used pure physical power. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Rumble!" Sounds echoed as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was treated like a punching bag, being hit from one side to the other, then back again. "Scoundrel!" "Unforgivable!" "You lowly monkeys!" "Damn it, you scoundrel!" Angry voices mixed together could be heard in the surroundings but it was futile. Jiang Chen's speed was beyond imagination, and even his time and space ninjutsu couldn't be cast. He was completely overwhelmed. His voice grew fainter. His aura began to rapidly decline. "Boom!" "Rumble!" The ground collapsed once more. In mid-air, Jiang Chen swept down with a kick, smashing Ōtsutsuki Isshiki into the ground. His movements then came to a halt. "What a powerful life force!" Jiang Chen couldn't help but exclaim. The life force of the Ōtsutsuki was truly terrifying. Even though he had held back, the fact that the opponent could withstand so many blows was already extraordinary. "Brother!" Jiang Xi flew over, her eyes shining as she looked at Jiang Chen. This was the first time she had seen her brother in action, and her eyes sparkled with admiration. "Alright!" "That's enough!" "We should take action!" Jiang Chen clapped his hands, his gaze turning toward the nearby Jūbi (Ten-Tails). "What should we do next?" Jiang Xi asked curiously, looking at Jiang Chen. "You'll find out soon!" Jiang Chen replied with a light smile and then stepped into the massive crater. Moments later, he dragged out Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, now reduced to a pile of lifeless sludge. At this moment, Isshiki's aura was nearly extinguished. Yet, he clung to the last threads of existence. Under Jiang Xi's curious gaze, Jiang Chen carried Isshiki toward the slumbering Jūbi. Sensing the lingering Ōtsutsuki presence, the Jūbi stirred restlessly, its massive form quivering with anticipation. "It... it wants to devour him?" Jiang Xi's eyes widened as she glanced between the Jūbi and the broken figure of Isshiki. Jiang Chen, however, remained unfazed. Instead, he turned toward Jiang Xi and posed a question. "Jiang Xi, do you understand what it truly means to conquer a world? Or rather, what completing a world's conquest entails?" Jiang Xi hesitated for a moment but then nodded. "I know! There are three known paths to World Conquest. First, unraveling the world's entire fate— its past, present, and future. Second, claiming the mantle of the Realm Lord. Third, standing at the absolute peak, unrivaled by any being." Despite answering confidently, her brow furrowed slightly, sensing there was more to it. Jiang Chen's gaze deepened. "The fate of the Naruto World spans millennia, from ancient eras to the present. Fully unraveling its course is no small feat." "As for achieving absolute supremacy... Within this world, there exists a legend— the Ōtsutsuki God, a being said to have transcended after devouring the fruits of countless celestial worlds. Reaching that level is no simple task." His words carried a quiet weight. Jiang Xi pondered before speaking. "Brother... then, you're talking about completing the world's fate. But what exactly is the Realm Lord's path?" She looked genuinely perplexed. Even after multiple journeys into this world, she had yet to grasp the essence of its true fate. Seeing her confusion, Jiang Chen let out a chuckle. "Planting trees." His gaze once again settled on the Jūbi as he spoke. Jiang Xi blinked. "Planting... trees?" "Yes. Planting trees." "Whether it's Ōtsutsuki Kaguya or the Ōtsutsuki clan, all of them seek the Divine Tree's fruit." "And the entire fate of this world revolves around that single truth." Jiang Chen spoke slowly, his thoughts weaving together like flowing currents. The Naruto World was undeniably intricate. On the surface, its power level seemed unimpressive. Even the strongest members of the Ōtsutsuki clan, such as Kaguya and Isshiki, barely reached the Fourth Realm. By martial standards, the Fourth Realm's power ranged from 120 to 10,000. None of the Ōtsutsuki seen so far had exceeded this threshold. One of the strongest, Isshiki, barely surpassed 1,000. Even Kaguya, who had consumed the Divine Tree's fruit, was only slightly stronger, never breaking past 2,000. In the grand scale of existence, such power was mediocre for a Fourth Realm being. But the existence of the Ōtsutsuki God changed everything. This legendary being single-handedly elevated the Naruto World's level to the Fifth Realm— and not just the ordinary Fifth. Now, the problem with this? The Ōtsutsuki God was only a myth. Even Ōtsutsuki Shibai had merely brushed against that threshold, never truly stepping beyond it. Thus, the third method of conquest— absolute supremacy— was almost impossible. The first method required an immense amount of time, which is far too long. From the very beginning, Jiang Chen had chosen the second path. (To Be Continued...)
