Shan Meixian has sent military masters and ninjas to find out the general direction of the source of the disaster.
Ni Kun used this divination to predict the disaster, and although he didn't get much, he was able to pinpoint the exact location of the disaster's origin.
It is not too far from Changzhou where the base camp is located, with a straight-line distance of only more than a thousand miles.
Ni Kun and his companions are all strong men, and they can travel through mountains and rivers as if they were walking on flat ground.
With two major mounts, the Nightmare Demon Horse and Xiaoqing, we can ignore the rugged terrain of the Japanese island with many mountains and little land, and take a straight line to the destination.
When we set out from the Choshu base camp, everything was fine. In Choshu, we could still see large areas of normal forests and fields, except that the water levels of the rivers and lakes were a little shallow.
But after walking more than a hundred miles out of Changzhou, the mountains and forests along the way gradually withered, and after walking another hundred miles, there was no trace of green.
The forests and grasslands have all withered. There is no sound of birds, animals or insects. It is so quiet that it feels like a ghost town.
The rivers and lakes seen along the way have dried up.
The riverbeds and lake bottoms covered with cracked dry soil are littered with a large number of bones, including fish bones, animal bones, and human corpses.
After walking another two hundred miles, we found that some small plains had already shown characteristics of desertification, and the surface soil of a few small plains had even been completely turned into sand.
Of course, only the topsoil has become desertified, so it can still be saved.
But if it is delayed for some time and the degree of desertification becomes more serious, the main island of Japan will be completely ruined.
They set out early in the morning and traveled non-stop all the way. At dusk, Ni Kun and his party stopped on a completely withered hill. Looking around, they could see a standard volcano and, on the crater, towering trees that reached into the sky.
It is Mount Fuji.
Looking at the barren mountain without any green, with the foot of the mountain completely turned into a desert, and the mountainside to the mountain pass, all entwined with giant tree roots as big as city walls, and the giant tree that was estimated to be no less than a thousand meters high, with only a huge bare trunk and a strange flower bud on the top, even though Tsunade had lived in the wasteland for many years and had seen the withered spirit tree city, she couldn't help but marvel:
"What kind of monster is that?"
Although she came from a famous ninja family, her grandfather was the man who laid the foundation for the ninja world, and she had also heard some legends about the origin of ninjas, she still could not recognize this "sacred tree".
After all, the true face of the sacred tree has long been submerged in the turbulent and war-torn history of the ninja world.
Xiaoqing was also amazed:
"What a big tree! It looks so strange, without even a branch or a leaf... Such a straight trunk, I really want to climb up and wrap around it..."
Zhu Yuyan and Kankan followed Ni Kun and witnessed many surreal things.
But when he looked at the strange giant tree from afar, he was still shocked and speechless for a long time.
There is no way. When faced with a creature of extremely huge size, the instincts of living beings will be shocked.
What’s more, this is a giant tree that is beyond imagination and as big as a pillar to support the sky?
"You're so tall, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Kanan murmured.
Struck by lightning?
Ni Kun thought that the tree could absorb all natural energy, and being struck by lightning would probably be just like watering it.
Yes, at the first sight of Mount Fuji and the giant tree, he recognized the origin of the giant tree and also understood the root cause of the disaster on the Japanese island.
The alien Otsutsuki clan has come to Earth to plant trees again!
If Ni Kun had not seen the two "world-destroying demons" Xuehe and An Wuji, he might have thought that the Otsutsuki alien who planted the "sacred tree" in Toyama was just another "traveler" who intruded into this world.
But now he doesn't think so anymore.
Anyone who has the ability to destroy the world and has already taken action is most likely a pawn of the "World-Destroying Demons".
The Otsutsuki alien who planted trees on Mount Fuji was most likely the chess piece that An Wuji had deployed before he was severely injured by Ni Kun.
"The sacred tree has only absorbed the 'life force' of half of the main island of Japan. The buds are still there, and the fruit does not seem to be ripe yet. In other words, the Otsutsuki who planted the sacred tree has most likely never eaten the fruit of the sacred tree, and has not yet opened the 'Reincarnation Sharingan' and evolved into the strongest form of the Otsutsuki..."
Ni Kun muttered to himself, took out four sunglasses from the mustard seed ring, and threw them to Xiaoqing, Tsunade, Zhu Yuyan, and Kankan.
Xianxian took the sunglasses and blinked in confusion: "Sir, what is this?"
Ni Kun pointed at Tsunade and said, "Learn from Tsunade."
Kanan, Zhu Yuyan and Xiaoqing looked towards Tsunade and saw that she had put her sunglasses on her nose and was hugging her arms while laughing.
Although the three of them didn't understand what this thing was used for, they still followed Tsunade's example and put on sunglasses.
The beauty in ancient costume wearing sunglasses looks quite out of place.
But now is not the time to be concerned about beauty.
After they all put on their sunglasses, Ni Kun spread his five fingers, facing the sacred tree with his palms, and murmured:
"Face the east wind... Fusion, great burial!"
He actually started with a fusion funeral!
Moreover, it burned ten years of life in one go, with a super fusion funeral equivalent of up to five million tons!
Even the Otsutsuki people who have not eaten the fruit of the sacred tree have extremely powerful abilities, and Ni Kun will not underestimate them at all.
In addition, the sacred tree itself is also an extremely powerful living weapon, and its unripe fruits can be picked and eaten, allowing the eater to instantly gain powerful strength. Therefore, Ni Kun did not hesitate and used his ultimate move right from the start.
As for whether it would be a pity to destroy the fruit...
As long as the operation is successful, the reincarnation watch and the redemption list will naturally give Ni Kun satisfactory feedback.
A huge, blazing sun descended over the pass of Mount Fuji.
When light radiation bursts.
Even though the distance was great, and even though they were wearing sunglasses and had magical powers to protect their eyes, Tsunade, Xiaoqing, Zhu Yuyan, and Kankan still couldn't help but either raised their hands to cover their eyes, or looked away, or closed their eyes.
Xiaoqing and Tsunade, who saw Ni Kun use this move for the first time, even screamed and jumped to hide behind Ni Kun.
Even though Zhu Yuyan and Kankan had witnessed this move for the second time, when they saw the violent sun, which was countless times larger and scorching than the "burning sun" that descended on the Japanese navy camp, their bodies could not help but tremble, and they were once again stunned by Ni Kun's godly power.
After that brief flash that brightened the sky, made the world as bright as snow, and made the setting sun pale in comparison.
A series of circular impact clouds distributed in a stepped manner, surrounded by a huge mushroom cloud with a terrifying flame ball swirling underneath, rolled up into the sky and soared into the clouds.
The ground was shaking and trembling wildly, as if it had turned into a rough sea.
The violent scorching shock wave, accompanied by overwhelming dust waves and deafening thunder, rushed and spread wildly in all directions, tearing apart all obstacles along the way.
Finally, it even pounced on the hill where Ni Kun and others were, directly submerging the hill that was nearly 100 meters high.
After the shock wave.
Under the protection of Ni Kun's "Crystal Wall", Xiaoqing and the others were safe and sound. They looked up at the huge mushroom cloud that lingered in the air, rising continuously as if it was about to rush straight into the sky. They were all dumbfounded and speechless in shock.
Ni Kun frowned and looked at Mount Fuji.
The thousand-meter-tall tree had disappeared, but it was not destroyed by Ni Kun's single blow.
Instead, it is surrounded by a huge black ball from root to toe.
The black ball was dark and dull, and seemed to absorb all visible and invisible existences, giving people a feeling of chaos, nothingness, and swallowing up everything.
Expanding seeking Tao Jade!
A terrifying skill that can devour Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, all tangible and intangible things, and turn them into chaos and nothingness!
Ni Kun recognized the black ball.
"The Otsutsuki who hasn't eaten the fruit yet can actually use the expansion seeking jade to withstand a 5 million ton nuclear explosion? Isn't this a cheat?"
Ni Kun was slightly moved.
Well, the son of a certain Otsutsuki alien is powerful enough to create the moon artificially. It seems understandable that a real Otsutsuki alien, even if he has never eaten the fruit of the sacred tree, is so powerful?
Besides, isn’t there a sacred tree next to it?
The Otsutsuki aliens can directly absorb the energy of the sacred tree. The Otsutsuki alien who planted trees on Mount Fuji was able to perform such a huge expansion of the Tao-seeking jade, which should be because he was forced to absorb the energy of the sacred tree.
In this case, it can be considered as causing damage to the sacred tree, and the result does not seem to be unacceptable?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a crack suddenly appear on the surface of the huge black ball.
Soon the cracks spread out in all directions, and soon became densely packed throughout the entire sphere.
Then, the seemingly indestructible "Expanding Tao Jade" collapsed with a bang, revealing the true form of the sacred tree.
The sacred tree at this time is very different from before.
The "Expanding Tao Jade" seemed to be unfolding a little too late. Although it barely withstood the fusion burial, the main body of the sacred tree still suffered heavy damage.
Most of the densely packed twisted tree roots that stretched from the mountain pass to the mountainside, as big as a city wall, disappeared, and the remaining small part turned like charcoal, black and withered, and dying.
The thousand-meter-tall, huge, straight trunk of the sacred tree was also covered with huge cracks and black burn marks.
The flower buds were safe and sound.
Because someone protected it.
Ni Kun narrowed his eyes, concentrated his gaze, and looked above the flower bud.
Then, a tall and slender woman with extremely pale skin, double horns on her forehead, white hair and white pupils was seen hanging above the flower bud.
I think it was the woman's close protection that saved the flower buds and fruits from serious damage.
However, her condition did not look very good. She looked a little weak, and her skin and eyes looked dull.
"Female? Kaguya Otsutsuki?"
Ni Kun exclaimed:
"Oh my god, I didn't expect to meet Kaguya Otsutsuki who hadn't eaten the fruit! Come to think of it, Tsunade is also a descendant of Kaguya Otsutsuki, right?"
In the world of reincarnation, everything is possible.
It is not surprising that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who has never eaten the fruit and has never given birth to a child, and her descendants who are separated by countless generations, appear in the same world.
At this time, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was hanging in the air above the flower bud of the sacred tree, glanced towards Ni Kun and the others, then a black light curtain unfolded in front of her, and she flashed into it.
Immediately, a black light curtain unfolded in the air in front of Ni Kun and others, and Kaguya Otsutsuki's slender body flashed out from the light curtain.
Yomi Hirasaka, the space teleportation ability that Kaguya Otsutsuki herself possesses.
Ni Kun estimated that she was able to appear above the flower bud in time and protect the fruit of the sacred tree because of this ability.
Kaguya Otsutsuki floated a hundred feet in front of Ni Kun and the others, staring at Ni Kun with her pure white eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you the Sun God of Central Plains?"
She started with a "Sun" that descended and almost destroyed the sacred tree that had not yet grown, forcing her to absorb a large amount of the sacred tree's reserve energy that was supposed to be used to supply the growth of fruit, and cast a spell to protect the sacred tree.
But even so, the roots and trunk of the sacred tree were severely damaged, and it was unknown how much energy it would take to recover from the injuries...
He squandered such tremendous and terrifying power without caring about the energy consumption. Could this man be the lord and the Central Plains Sun God mentioned by the bald man who could burrow underground?
"Central Plains Sun God?"
Ni Kun was startled at first, then smiled and said:
"If you mean the move just now... I think I should be the Central Plains Sun God you think of."
Seeing him so calm and composed, with his aura not weakened at all, as if the attack just now had not consumed any energy at all, Kaguya couldn't help but feel a little nervous -
When it comes to her understanding of strength, Princess Kaguya always has some inexplicable deviations.
Of course, she is not arrogant, but she underestimates herself too much, always thinking that she is very weak and her enemies are very strong.
This mentality can be described in two words: cautious.
To put it in one word, it is: coward.
But even though she was a little nervous, she still kept an indifferent look on her face and said calmly:
"I don't seem to have provoked you?"
Ni Kun said: "You are offending me by planting trees in my territory."
Kaguya said: "Your territory? You are the Sun God of Central Plains..."
"In this world, wherever the sun shines, it is my territory."
Ni Kun interrupted her without any hesitation:
"What's more, I have promised this island to my concubine's daughter, and allowed her to establish a kingdom here. If you move this island country without permission, you will be my enemy.
"Finally... do you dare to say that your tree will only drain the vitality of this island nation?"
Kaguya was silent for a while, then said calmly:
"I'm sorry, I really have no intention of becoming your enemy, but I have a mission and I can't back down easily.
"How about we both take a step back? I promise that the sacred tree will never affect the Central Plains, and you will leave the Japanese island."
Well, this is just a delaying tactic. It would be great if Ni Kun could reach an agreement with her.
After the fruit of the sacred tree has grown for some time, she will directly use the offerings that she has prepared long ago to sacrifice to the sacred tree and eat the fruit. Even if the fruit is far from mature, the power she gains will be enough to sweep the world.
Ni Kun narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Didn't you hear what I said before? This island country is the territory I promised to my concubine and daughter. No one is allowed to get involved! I'm going to pull out that tree today!"
Princess Kaguya really didn't want to rashly go into war with an enemy like Ni Kun whose background was unknown.
A few days ago, when facing Xia Xingbu, she declared that she was not afraid of the "Central Plains Sun God".
But when she really faced Ni Kun this time, and saw that he started with a "Sun Coming" and his breath showed no signs of weakening, she was still a little scared.
In addition, her "white eyes" can see through all disguises and escape techniques, and can also see through the meridians and acupoints in the target person's body, accurately analyzing the direction of energy within the meridians and acupoints, and has a strong ability to predict the enemy's strength and attack moves.
But when they tried to observe Ni Kun, they only saw waves of flashing thunder that kept vibrating and covering the shallow surface of his body, hiding the internal situation of his body completely, making it impossible to peek into it.
Faced with such a powerful enemy whose strength is completely unknown, Kaguya-hime is cautious and is unwilling to start a war with him easily before she is fully prepared.
But the "delaying tactic" doesn't work.
Ni Kun was determined to uproot the sacred tree. Even though Kaguya didn't want to start a war hastily, she could only...
I was thinking about the tactics in my mind, thinking about using "Yozen Birasaka" to suddenly teleport behind Ni Kun, then use "Immobilization Technique" to freeze him, and then use the ultimate to try to subdue him, when I heard Ni Kun say leisurely:
“By the way, whose orders did you follow to plant trees here?
"An Wuji of the Chang Ye Sect, or the Blood Demon Saint?"
Hearing what he said, Kaguya Otsutsuki was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she said in a lost voice:
"How do you know the master's name?"
What is your Lord's name?
Ni Kun only reported a name, so it seems that Kaguya-hime's master is An Wuji of the Changye Sect.
"That bastard actually quietly sent the Otsutsuki aliens to the Japanese island to plant trees! Fortunately, I sent Shan Meixian to attack the Japanese island, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with Otsutsuki Kaguya after he ate the fruit."
Ni Kun muttered to himself, but his face remained calm and he smiled slightly:
"Is An Wuji's name shameful? Why can't I know?"
An Wuji: “that kid”?
Kaguya's pupils shrank suddenly, her heart was trembling wildly, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Who... are you?"
Ni Kun said leisurely:
"My name is Ni Kun. As for my real name, you are too low-ranking to be worthy of hearing it. If you can still contact An Wuji, you can ask him in person.
"I'm afraid that when he hears my name, he'll be shocked and terrified, thinking that you're mocking him, and he'll take his anger out on you and eat you alive on the spot."
Princess Kaguya felt like she was listening to a fairy tale. She had experienced the horror of An Wuji herself.
At the beginning, she and her partner Otsutsuki Isshiki set out from Otsutsuki Planet, preparing to go to a newly discovered life planet to plant the sacred tree.
But when he was not far from home, he saw a giant black hand falling from the sky. It grabbed the stars of his hometown in its palm, and with a snap of its five fingers, it crushed the huge planet.
All the Otsutsuki people on the star had their flesh and blood devoured by the giant black hand and turned into bones.
Afterwards, all the white bones turned into puppets controlled by the huge black hand, and rushed towards her and Otsutsuki Isshiki.
The two fought back, but soon Otsutsuki Isshiki was beaten into pieces of flesh and blood, and she was captured by several skeletons.
Just when she thought her life was in danger, the huge dark hand suddenly grabbed her.
Afterwards, the pitch-black hand broke through the void again and brought her to a blue planet of life. Just like destroying the Otsutsuki planet, it squeezed and exploded the blue star that was originally the destination for her and Otsutsuki Isshiki to plant trees.
As the blue star shattered.
The entire "universe" was rapidly collapsing towards the original location of the blue star, as if that inconspicuous life star was the center of the entire "universe".
As the universe collapses, the distance between the stars in space shrinks like lightning, and they collide and annihilate each other, erupting in an indescribably gorgeous brilliance of destruction.
Finally, the entire "universe" collapsed into a "pill" at the location of the blue star, which seemed to have condensed the essence of the "entire universe" and was taken into the palm of the dark giant hand.
After that, the huge dark hand sent a message into her mind, and then took the flesh and blood fragments of Otsutsuki Isshiki, pressed it into a pill and handed it to her. Finally, it used an elliptical light gate like a silver mirror to send her into another "universe" and brought her to this world.
The owner of the huge black hand didn't say a word to her the entire time.
But the information that entered her mind made her understand everything:
The other party is An Wuji, the Holy Son of Chang Ye Sect, a man who possesses the power to destroy the world and even the "universe". He is also the "master" whom she must obey unconditionally.
The task given to her by the Lord was to perform a blood sacrifice according to the rituals given in the Lord's message, using the flesh, blood and souls of at least 30 million "core" creatures as sacrifices to summon the Lord to come.
The so-called "core" creatures in this world are the Central Plains, as well as Goguryeo and Eastern Turks, which have the closest ties with the Central Plains and are said to have "key" figures.
Except for these three countries, in the other four barbarian countries, ten people are equivalent to one Central Plains person.
It was as if the "universe" where she originally lived, that blue star was the center of that universe.
As long as it is destroyed, the entire universe will naturally collapse. If the blue star cannot be destroyed, then no matter how many planets are destroyed, even the Otsutsuki planet, it will not be easy to destroy the "universe".
The master allowed her to continue planting the sacred tree to obtain the power needed for the blood sacrifice.
He even prepared a sacrifice for her to feed the sacred tree, which was a pill made from the flesh and blood of Otsutsuki Isshiki.
For the tasks assigned by the Lord.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, who witnessed her master crushing the Otsutsuki planet with one hand, annihilating the entire Otsutsuki clan, and then destroying the entire universe, did not dare to disobey. For more than half a year, she has been diligently guarding the sacred tree on this small island.
But now, what did she hear?
That extremely terrifying man, not only was his name known to the Central Plains Sun God, but he was also contemptuously called "that kid" by him?
He actually said that An Wuji would be shocked and terrified, and even take his anger out on her, when he heard his name?
This, how is this possible?
Princess Kaguya was in a state of confusion. She asked in a hoarse voice that was filled with a hint of fear, which she herself did not realize:
"You... have seen my Lord?"
Ni Kun said calmly:
"Of course I have. He was a little disrespectful to me, but as a senior, I couldn't take it too seriously with a junior like him, so I just punished him a little."
Kaguya swallowed hard, her hands clenched into fists unconsciously, trembling slightly, and she even used honorifics unconsciously:
"How did you... punish my master?"
Ni Kun said leisurely: "It's nothing, I just reduced his cultivation by 30%, took away his soul and two spirits, forced him to destroy his entire family, and destroyed all the property he had accumulated for thousands of years..."
Kaguya Otsutsuki cried out in amazement: "How is this possible? My master destroyed the world with one strike and shattered the stars with his hands. How could this be..."
Ni Kun said calmly, with a look of disbelief:
"Although you have committed great evil on the Japanese island, it has not yet affected the Central Plains. I can give you a chance."
He raised his hand and pointed at the fruit of the sacred tree:
"I know you have a way to ripen that fruit. Even though it's not fully ripe, it's barely usable. Now, go pick the fruit and give it to me, and I will spare your life."
"This, this..." Kaguya was confused and didn't know what to do.
"I allow you to contact An Wuji and ask him for my name." Ni Kun said calmly: "If you are afraid of being retaliated by him, I can also allow you to follow me and accept my protection. Don't worry, the restrictions he left on you will most likely not be effective."
Kaguya pursed her lips, lowered her head and whispered: "Please... wait a moment, Your Excellency."
Open the portal, return to the sacred tree, and try to contact An Wuji.
