"Damn, this is really frustrating." Jigen's suppressed aura erupted again. "This body is almost unable to bear my power."
As his aura steadily increased, the overwhelming killing intent that Madara had filled most of the sky with was slowly pushed back.
*Boom!*
Accompanied by a dull, thunderous sound, Jigen was enveloped in a blinding white light, and terrifying energy continuously poured out from it, expanding around the glowing area.
The strong wind blew, causing Madara's long hair to flutter wildly. His expression grew heavier as he looked at Jigen's position.
On the ground, Kaito suddenly shouted, "Everyone, maintain the formation!!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking:
*Crack!*
A crisp sound of breaking echoed, as the rapidly expanding energy caused cracks to form on the light barrier that enveloped the formation.
The cracks continued to spread, and the five yokai responsible for maintaining the formation immediately tensed up and increased their output of yokai power.
*Crack!*
The sound of breaking echoed from all directions.
"Hold on!!!"
Kaito stepped out of the temporary defensive array and shouted loudly.
"We can't let him succeed!" From the records, he knew very well that for the Otsutsuki clan, space-time abilities were crucial. Without the space-time powers of Otsutsuki Isshiki, they would have a chance to defeat him.
Therefore, no matter what, they couldn't lose the formation that sealed the space.
Otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.
"Hah!"
The five yokai also fully understood Kaito's intentions. With ferocious expressions, they roared loudly, further squeezing out their yokai power. The five differently colored beams of light suddenly intensified.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the sound of the formation breaking temporarily ceased, and the cracks on the light barrier began to repair themselves.
"Sage Art: Great Fireball Technique!"
Madara, understanding the gravity of the situation, spewed scorching flames from his mouth, engulfing the white light.
*Boom!*
However, the white light suddenly exploded, and an invisible shockwave pushed the flames away. Within the white light, the silhouette of a now larger figure became faintly visible. The terrifying energy swelled again, the wind howled violently, and rocks were swept into the air.
Kaito closed his eyes and once again heard the sound of the light barrier shattering.
"Damn!" Kaito spat out a mouthful of sand. "Looks like it's my turn."
He kept his eyes closed, pressing his hands together as golden Ryūmyaku energy flowed from the earth into the golden mist surrounding him.
Suddenly, the golden light around him intensified, shining as brightly as the sun.
"Dragon Vein! Reinforce!"
Kaito shouted, dropping to one knee and slamming his hands onto the formation's markings on the ground.
An overwhelming surge of Ryūmyaku power flowed from his hands, entering the formation.
Golden light emanated from beneath his hands, rapidly spreading along the five-pointed star pattern of the formation. It merged into the yokai's beams of light and then seeped into the light barrier covering the formation, repairing all the cracks.
"Huff... huff..."
Kaito withdrew his hands and stood up, gasping for breath. Reinforcing the formation that enveloped an entire island had almost drained all the spiritual power from his body. Even though he used the power of the Ryūmyaku, stronger Ryūmyaku power required more spiritual energy to guide it.
At this moment, Madara's voice came from the sky:
"Dodge!"
Although Kaito felt weak, he noticed several tiny black needles closing in on him. Just as he was about to evade, several large black rods suddenly expanded and pierced through his body.
"Ugh!" Blood spurted from his mouth.
"Kaito!"
"Uncle!"
"Kid!"
"Kaito!"
Kaito's vision blurred, and his ears rang as intense pain surged through his body.
"Damn it!" Madara descended from the sky, shielding Kaito.
"You brought this upon yourself, Onmyoji."
The white light in the sky had dissipated, and the raging energy had calmed down.
Kaito raised his head, his black eyes looking toward the sky.
Otsutsuki Isshiki, now fully revealed, was slowly descending. His white robe was tattered, and there was a black circular and square pattern on his chest, with six tomoe symbols neatly arranged beneath it.
Kaito strained to muster his remaining spiritual energy, barely reactivating his Mangekyo Sharingan to take a closer look.
The horn on Otsutsuki Isshiki's head had grown even larger, making him look even more inhuman. His left eye had turned into a Byakugan, while his right eye bore a cross-shaped black symbol.
"Heh..." Kaito chuckled. "This level… still won't kill me."
At his words, Isshiki's figure suddenly vanished and reappeared behind Madara, grabbing Kaito by the neck and lifting him into the air.
"What?!" Madara quickly turned his head.
Just now, Isshiki had shrunk his body so much that even Madara couldn't detect him in time.
"I've spent a thousand years preparing for this, only for you to interrupt it." Isshiki's face remained expressionless as he looked at Kaito. "You must pay the price for this with your life, Onmyoji!"
"Heh..." Kaito struggled to speak. "I'm afraid... it won't be that easy."
"Uncle!"
Inside the defensive formation, Sasuke was about to rush out, but Izuna held him back.
"Don't stop me!"
Sasuke glared angrily at Izuna.
"Calm down. I don't think Kaito will be defeated so easily," Izuna said calmly.
"But…"
Sasuke, eyes red with tears, looked at Kaito's back as he was held by Isshiki, blood dripping from his body where the black rods had pierced him.
"Hey!" Madara's voice carried an ominous warning. "Let him go."
"Hm?" Isshiki turned his head. "I didn't expect to see the Rinnegan here."
"I said, let him go!"
Madara's eyes had already turned into the purple ripple-patterned Rinnegan.
"How interesting," Otsutsuki Isshiki smirked coldly. "I wonder if your eyes are faster or if my hand is?"
He tightened his grip on Kaito's neck, and the sound of bones and flesh crunching echoed from his hand.
"Limbo: Border Jail."
Madara suddenly spoke, and an invisible force struck Otsutsuki Isshiki's face, sending him flying.
Taking the opportunity, Kaito turned into a pool of golden liquid, slipping from Isshiki's hand as the black rods dropped to the ground.
The golden liquid quickly flowed back into the defensive formation, reforming into a human shape.
"Cough… cough…"
Kaito coughed, clutching his neck as golden light flickered, and his neck and chest wounds began to heal, emitting white smoke.
"Cough…" He slumped down on the ground, leaning weakly against Keita's soft, fluffy body. "I need time to recover. I'll leave the rest to you, senior."
"Got it." Madara responded, his eyes never leaving Isshiki, who had been sent flying.
*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The invisible force continued to pummel Isshiki's airborne body.
Suddenly, he disappeared again from everyone's sight.
"Tricks won't work!" Madara raised his war fan. "In front of these eyes, your tricks are meaningless!"
The sound of clashing rang out.
Madara swung his fan, deflecting the suddenly enlarged black rods that flew toward him.
He swung again, blocking Isshiki's enlarged fist, which had come in close.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Madara spoke again, and an invisible repulsive force sent Isshiki flying once more.
