"After that interruption from the lady, Ladon, let's pick up where we left off," Tenraku remarked as he dispersed the divine bow in his hand.
"Alright then, let me take the lead," Ladon replied with a sinister grin, as barriers began to flicker into existence and spread around Tenraku.
Seeing the exaggerated number of barriers surrounding him, Tenraku couldn't help but furrow his brow. It seemed that Ladon had prepared these while he was dealing with the witch, Walburga.
Crackling sounds filled the air as all the barriers enclosing Tenraku began to slowly contract, and Tenraku suddenly felt an immensely heavy pressure, making it difficult for him to breathe. These barriers were not just shrinking; they were compressing the entire space, intending to crush Tenraku inside!
"Kamiya Tenraku, your end will come within my barriers!" Ladon declared confidently, sporting a bloodthirsty expression.
"Hmph, you believe a few barriers can end me? How arrogant!" Tenraku retorted coldly. He clenched his fists and activated his Sacred Gear, Giant's Prank.
Giant's Prank was a Sacred Gear that Tenraku had taken from the Hero faction's cadre, Heracles. It allowed the host to cause explosions during attacks, greatly enhancing the destructive power.
As soon as the Sacred Gear's ability was activated, dazzling light radiated from Tenraku's fists. He charged forward, wildly punching at the barriers surrounding him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The power of the Sacred Gear grew stronger with the host's strength, and in Tenraku's hands, who had already reached the transcender level, the power of Giant's Prank was terrifying.
Every punch thrown by Tenraku triggered a violent explosion, and the incredibly strong barriers were continuously shattered like glass!
However, although Tenraku's speed in breaking the barriers was extremely fast, the speed at which the barriers were generated was even faster!
"Haha, its useless, Kamiya Tenraku. My barriers are endless. No matter how many you break, more and more will appear!" Ladon laughed triumphantly.
What Red Dragon Emperor, White Dragon Sovereign, or miracle child of the Phenex family? Today, they would all die under his barriers!
"Never-ending, that's truly annoying." Knowing that this wasn't a solution, Tenraku stopped his hands.
However, Tenraku didn't intend to give up. He already had another idea.
"In that case, let's break them all!" With a smirk, Tenraku's expression turned cold, and then a golden war spear appeared in his hand.
It was the strongest Longinus, the True Longinus!
"Holy Spear, pierce through them!" With an imposing momentum, Tenraku thrust the spear, and to Ladon's astonishment, the hundreds of barriers he had displayed were all pierced through like sheets of paper!
"It's that damned Holy Spear!" Recognizing the True Longinus in Tenraku's hand, Ladon couldn't help but roar in shock and anger.
The True Longinus was indeed worthy of its reputation as the strongest Longinus. The invincible Holy Spear could easily destroy any barrier in the world, like its nemesis!
"Ladon, use whatever means you have, or else you won't have a chance anymore." Towering in the sky like a god, Tenraku's expression was mocking.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"Don't think you've won just because you have that Holy Spear!"
Also incited by anger, Ladon unleashed his power, causing all the flowers, grass, and trees underground to grow wildly. Countless branches and vines entangled Tenraku in the air.
"Boring tricks."
With a faint voice, Tenraku swept his Holy Spear, effortlessly severing all the vines and branches attacking him.
Not only that, as his Spirit Power surged, both the Holy Spear and Tenraku's body emitted a brilliant light, causing all the flowers, grass, and trees wherever the light touched to disintegrate into nothingness.
These lights were not ordinary; they were the concentrated purification power released by the Holy Spear!
"Ahhhhhh!!!" Similarly bathed in the light, Ladon let out a desperate scream, hastily deploying several layers of barriers and then distancing himself from Tenraku.
"It seems the purification power of the Holy Spear affects you too. But this is only natural," Tenraku said leisurely, while Ladon's face was filled with rage.
"Calm down a bit. The real show is just beginning," Tenraku continued. "Since I've let you witness the Holy Spear, let me show you something interesting."
With a smirk, Tenraku raised the Holy Spear in his hand towards the sky.
"Forbidden Move— Five Treasures Samsara Spear!" As Tenraku's words fell, a sacred halo appeared behind him, accompanied by five bowling ball-sized orbs of light rotating slowly along the halo's orbit.
It was a Forbidden Move developed by Tenraku from the True Longinus!
Or more precisely, it was a Forbidden Move developed by Tenraku and Akeno, drawing inspiration from Cao Cao's Heavenly Ring Holy King's Spear Enveloped in Brightness Which Brings the Polar Night - Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin.
The so-called five treasures were Flying Treasure, Gahapatiratana (Householder Treasure), Sealing Treasure, General Treasure (Parinayakaratana), and Unmatched Treasure. Their abilities were somewhat similar to the Seven Treasures of Cao Cao's Forbidden Move.
Flying Treasure bestowed the host with extreme speed flight ability, corresponding to Cao Cao's Elephant Treasure (Hatthiratana).
Gahapatiratana (Householder Treasure) allowed the host to split into multiple identical entities without quantity limits. However, the more splits, the more power was consumed, and the shorter the fighting time.
Sealing Treasure was similar to Female Treasure, enabling the host to seal enemies without gender or quantity limits. However, the more seals and the stronger the enemies, the more power was consumed.
General Treasure (Parinayakaratana) empowered the host's attacks with formidable destruction power.
Unmatched Treasure greatly enhanced the host's overall combat capabilities, enabling the host to enter an invincible state. However, this mode consumed Spirit Power tremendously and left the host in a weakened state after the invincibility ended, so it shouldn't be used lightly.
Of course, these weren't the real focus. The real focus was that this Forbidden Move had the characteristic of infinite growth!
In other words, although it was currently called the Five Treasures Samsara Spear, as long as Tenraku continued to develop it, it could evolve into the Ten Treasures Samsara Spear, the Hundred Treasures Samsara Spear, the Thousand Treasures Samsara Spear, or even the Ten Thousand Treasures Samsara Spear.
There was no limit whatsoever!
