On the dimly lit Moon, two massive black spheres floated.
As the black spheres liquefied and dissipated, transforming into eight black spheres the size of billiard balls, two figures emerged.
One was Izayoi, his entire body enveloped in a greenish-blue Chakra, and the other was Madara Uchiha, clad in battle armor with a red outer shell. His Tenseigan and Rinnegan, containing astonishing Eye Power, ignored the dark environment caused by the loss of the Artificial Sun and stared at each other.
The next second, a thunderous roar erupted.
Giant tree branches broke through the ground, either shooting towards Izayoi or lashing out at him.
Izayoi did not control the Truth-Seeking Balls to meet them head-on, because these branches contained Sage of Six Paths Chakra, one of the few Six Paths Sage Art Wood Release techniques that could contend with the Truth-Seeking Balls.
Controlling a Truth-Seeking Ball to fly in front of him, Izayoi raised his hand and pressed it onto the Truth-Seeking Ball. Then, the surface of the black sphere was once again covered with a layer of black substance.
It was the Truth-Seeking Ball stacked with... a Chakra Rosary!
How terrifying would a Truth-Seeking Ball, containing the power of destruction, be when it also possessed the characteristics of the power of creation?
The answer was immediately revealed!
Swish—
A dazzling and incomparably sharp golden light tore through the darkness. Even Madara Uchiha, who was far away, felt this golden light was so blinding.
Moreover, the threat brought by this golden light made Madara Uchiha instinctively use Limbo: Border Jail, creating two shadows to block in front of him.
Because Madara Uchiha was too familiar with this golden light.
In the last battle, he was struck by this infinitely extending golden light and sent back to the Shinobi World from the Moon.
However, this time, the golden light did not extend infinitely, and its target was not Madara Uchiha.
A tearing sound echoed, like fabric being ripped apart.
Izayoi, holding the golden light sword formed by the Truth-Seeking Ball and the Chakra Rosary, like Son Goku's Ruyi Jingu Bang, continuously extended and shortened, grew larger and smaller, and with a few casual swings, cut off all the shooting and lashing branches.
After doing this, Izayoi continued to output Chakra, shooting the golden light sword in one direction.
The extension speed of the light sword was as fast as light itself, extending and stopping instantly.
At the tip of the light sword, strung on it, was a Limbo Shadow that only Izayoi and Madara Uchiha could see, attempting to sneak attack while Izayoi was distracted.
"Sage Art... Storm Release Light Fang!"
Just then, a piercing sound of air being torn entered his ears.
Without needing to turn his head, Izayoi, who possessed 360-degree x-ray vision, saw at a glance that from the cut surface of the branches below, a Madara Uchiha with only his upper body emerged, spitting out a purple laser towards Izayoi.
Compared to Darui's Storm Release and Izayoi's Storm Release Secret Technique, Madara Uchiha's Storm Release laser was incredibly small.
Yet, this tiny purple laser contained the power of another dimension.
In terms of speed, it was not inferior to Izayoi's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion at all.
Without time to dodge, Izayoi controlled a Truth-Seeking Ball to fly towards the incoming purple laser.
At the same time, he created a string of Chakra Rosaries on his wrist, numbering at least ten or so.
When the Truth-Seeking Ball, which annihilated everything it touched, collided with the lightning-fast purple laser.
An incredible scene immediately unfolded.
The Truth-Seeking Ball, which had just been so impressive, destroying the Artificial Sun with just a self-detonation, was actually split in two by the thin, thread-like purple laser, and its remaining power continued to shoot towards Izayoi without diminishing.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
The Chakra Rosaries on Izayoi's wrist rapidly enlarged, rotating to form a greenish-blue light wheel, which then transformed into a massive tornado, roaring out.
The natural disaster-like tornado successfully destroyed the purple laser, and its remaining power similarly swept down without diminishing, pulverizing the branches and Wood Clones below, and even made a turn to attack Madara Uchiha's main body.
The speed of both light and wind was incredibly fast.
Even if Izayoi and Madara Uchiha's eyes could see it, it was difficult to dodge.
Unless they used space-time abilities, their flying speed in the face of the speed of light and wind was like a carriage compared to a sports car; the former had just started, while the latter had already sped away.
If they had not yet stepped into the realm of another dimension, these abilities created by Chakra could all be absorbed by the basic abilities of the Rinnegan and Tenseigan, and would even increase their own Chakra.
But after taking a big step into the realm of another dimension, these powers, which were dimension-reducing attacks on the Shinobi World, were no longer considered top-tier.
The Storm Release Light Fang, which could even cut through Truth-Seeking Balls, was simply not something that the Preta Path and green light spheres could absorb.
Similarly, the rule-based power of Almighty Push, unless charged for a very long time, would release a repulsive force storm and an invisible barrier that were as fragile as thin paper.
The Truth-Seeking Ball could still withstand the Storm Release Light Fang for a bit, but Almighty Push would likely be instantly pierced through, and would also consume more Chakra.
These low-cost-performance powers had already been eliminated.
What they were competing on next was the foundation of a ninja... a ninja's battle is a battle of information!
Madara Uchiha didn't even look at the roaring tornado, concentrating on condensing a Truth-Seeking Ball and a Six Paths Staff.
When the tornado was about to engulf Madara Uchiha, with a loud bang, the tornado was instantly blown away.
What blew it away was the Limbo Shadow responsible for protecting Madara Uchiha.
After activating Sage of Six Paths Mode, besides the surge in his stats, Madara Uchiha's biggest improvement was Limbo: Border Jail.
The Limbo Shadows were invisible Shadow Clones, and the Limbo Shadows could use any ability the main body possessed.
Last time, Madara Uchiha hadn't even mastered Sage Mode, and his Limbo Shadows were completely powerless against the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
Now that he had activated Sage of Six Paths Mode, the strength of his Limbo Shadows had also reached the Six Paths Level.
Facing the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, which was created merely from Chakra Rosaries and didn't contain Sage of Six Paths Chakra, the Limbo Shadows easily blasted it apart.
Seeing that these long-range abilities were ineffective against each other, Izayoi and Madara Uchiha exchanged glances and, with perfect synchronicity, flew towards each other.
The light sword extended and shot out.
Madara Uchiha, holding the Six Paths Staff, collided with it.
The golden light sword, sharper than even the Storm Release Light Fang, failed to cut through the Six Paths Staff.
Although the nature of the Six Paths Staff was the same as the Truth-Seeking Balls, it contained astonishing Yang power, just like the golden light sword in Izayoi's hand, which was created from Truth-Seeking Balls and Chakra Rosaries.
This Yang power came precisely from the sun mark on Madara Uchiha's palm.
With the boost from the Yang power, the Six Paths Staff was actually on par with the golden light sword.
But only for a moment!
After more than a dozen rounds of clashes, realizing that their respective attacks couldn't bypass the observation abilities of the Rinnegan and Tenseigan to injure the other, Izayoi increased his Chakra output, raised the golden light sword in his hand high, transforming it into a giant sword over ten meters long, and brought it down.
Although it was a giant sword over ten meters long, its attack speed remained unchanged, still as fast as a flash of light.
Flying to dodge was meaningless, so Madara Uchiha could only grip the Six Paths Staff with both hands, swing it out, and collide with it.
At the same time, he created another Limbo Shadow to attack Izayoi.
The giant golden sword struck the Six Paths Staff, still failing to cut it, but the terrifying force knocked Madara Uchiha down onto the Moon's surface.
Looking at the Limbo Shadow that was rapidly approaching, Izayoi, holding the sword with both hands, couldn't dodge either. He could only control the Truth-Seeking Balls floating around him to work together. One transformed into a black beam of light and shot towards the Limbo Shadow, while the others liquefied and merged to form a giant black ball, enveloping Izayoi.
The next second, numerous holes appeared on the black sphere, as if it had been pierced by an invisible attack.
However, looking through these holes, it was discovered that there was no one inside at all.
As if triggering some restriction, the black sphere liquefied and turned back into individual spheres, shooting downwards.
The scene shifted to the Moon's surface, where a loud boom caused a shocking explosion.
Using Chakra Rosaries to create objects, then employing the combination technique of Heavenly Transfer Technique + Flying Thunder God Technique, Izayoi instantly moved from inside the Truth-Seeking Ball to behind Madara Uchiha, who had already sensed his instantaneous movement and controlled his Truth-Seeking Balls to form a shield for protection. Izayoi raised his hand and struck Madara Uchiha from a distance.
"Roar..."
The rosaries on his wrist transformed into five Chakra dragons of different colors, which merged to form a small five-colored dragon.
Then, this small five-colored dragon instantly transformed into a giant five-colored dragon, emitting a roar that intimidated all beasts, engulfing Madara Uchiha, and extending forward for an unknown number of kilometers, plowing a huge ravine on the Moon's surface, and finally even flying out of the Moon.
Under the protection of the Truth-Seeking Balls, Madara Uchiha was unharmed, but his figure was also blasted out of the Moon by the five-colored giant dragon.
Looking at the colorful airflow around him, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "This kind of natural disaster-like attack can actually be fused like composite Ninjutsu. The abilities of those black balls are truly disgusting!"
By the time the five-colored giant dragon dissipated, Madara Uchiha had flown a great distance from the Moon.
Besides the large and small meteorites around him, there were only some planets that were visible to the eye, like the Moon and Earth, but were very far away.
Before Madara Uchiha could fly back, he saw meteorites from all directions shooting towards him at extremely high speed.
His terrifying perception instantly located Izayoi standing on a meteorite. Madara Uchiha raised his hand, his five fingers like claws, and shouted, "Planetary Devastation!"
After he spoke, Izayoi seemed to turn into a giant magnet, attracting all the surrounding meteorites.
But the next second, all these meteorites stopped and turned to shoot towards Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha was not surprised, he just clicked his tongue.
Immediately, he formed a hand seal with one hand, raised his hand, and released a large amount of purple lightning, shattering all the incoming meteorites and continuing to strike Izayoi.
The Truth-Seeking Balls around him also shattered all the meteorites from other directions.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Truth-Seeking Balls had not returned to their positions, a dazzling golden beam of light blasted away the purple lightning and instantly expanded to fill Madara Uchiha's vision.
Madara Uchiha, who had not anticipated this scene, quickly raised the Six Paths Staff to block, and at the same time used Limbo to replace the Truth-Seeking Balls for defense.
Even so, Madara Uchiha was still blasted a very, very long distance by the infinitely extending golden beam of light.
During this time, Madara Uchiha crashed through large and small meteorites one after another. If he hadn't also used Susanoo to create a skeleton armor for defense, even in Sage of Six Paths Mode, he would have suffered considerable damage.
By the time the golden beam of light dissipated, Madara Uchiha could no longer see Earth or the Moon. Besides the meteorites, there was only one planet that was also a certain distance away, and the Sage of Six Paths Mode had not sensed any life energy on it.
"Does this guy want to exhaust my Sage of Six Paths Chakra this way?" Madara Uchiha sneered, "If that's the case, then you've probably miscalculated. Although my Chakra is not as much as yours now, your current state is consuming Chakra every moment. If this continues, you will only run out of Chakra faster than me."
"Then let's see."
Izayoi's voice came from behind Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha, whose perception had already detected him, calmly turned around and swung the Six Paths Staff in his hand, colliding with Izayoi's golden light sword.
Then, the two flew while engaging in a simple close-quarters battle.
The Rinnegan and Tenseigan rotated non-stop, their terrifying observation abilities either combined with the perception of Sage of Six Paths Mode or using the ability of x-ray vision, trying to find the other's weakness.
If they couldn't find a weakness, they would expose one to the other, using feints to find the other's weakness, or giving the other a false impression of success, making them use a powerful technique to consume more Chakra.
The missed powerful techniques shattered meteorites one after another, creating fireworks in the universe.
Gradually, both Izayoi and Madara Uchiha realized the other's objective and began to reduce the frequency of using powerful techniques, controlling their Chakra consumption. They even refrained from using the Truth-Seeking Ball self-detonation.
After all, the Chakra required to condense a single Truth-Seeking Ball was even greater than that needed to create a Perfect Susanoo and a five-colored giant dragon.
These two individuals, who clearly possessed the power to destroy the heavens and earth, like gods, ended up engaging in a close-quarters battle in space for two days and two nights.
If it weren't for the occasional passing sun, they wouldn't even have known that so much time had passed.
Throughout these two days and two nights of fighting, Izayoi and Madara Uchiha's expressions were incredibly focused.
After all, the attack power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and the Six Paths Staff was no joke. If hit, the battle could basically be declared over.
After two days and two nights of attrition warfare, the vast, ocean-like Chakra within both Izayoi and Madara Uchiha had been largely depleted.
The one with the most severe consumption was Izayoi.
After all, the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and the light sword transformed from the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion were constantly consuming Izayoi's Chakra.
In contrast, the Truth-Seeking Ball was like a materialized form of Chakra, similar to a Tailed Beast. Unless it self-destructed, the Chakra within it would barely dissipate.
If the Otsutsuki Bloodline hadn't been upgraded to a colored Perk, causing his Chakra reserves to severely skyrocket, Izayoi's Chakra would have been completely exhausted by Madara Uchiha long ago.
Even so, Izayoi's Chakra, as well as the physical and mental energy within his cells, could only last for two days and two nights.
As his Chakra dropped to a certain level, the Tenseigan Chakra Mode on Izayoi's body finally automatically deactivated uncontrollably.
Seeing this scene, Madara Uchiha, who also looked incredibly tired but still had thirty percent of his Chakra remaining, immediately revealed a smug smile and said, "I won!"
In response, Izayoi, whose entire body was soaked in sweat, grinned and said, "No... I won."
