Chapter 442 Divine Art "Square"
Chapter 442 Divine Art "Square"
The moment he awakened the divine power, countless future trajectories appeared in Guoxin Jushi's mind.
The massive flow of information far exceeded his capacity to handle it.
"Ugh...!"
The intense mental shock caused Guoxin Jushi to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Then, his pupils became unfocused and lifeless, his eyeballs rolled upwards uncontrollably, and his limbs convulsed violently. His fingers, due to the excessive force, dug into the ground, leaving several shallow scratch marks.
In an instant, his body went limp, like a puppet that had lost all support, collapsing onto the cold gravel, dark red blood still oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Uchiha Mitsunori slowly loosened his neck, his gaze falling on Kashin Koji's unconscious face.
He grabbed Guoxin Jushi by the back of his neck by the collar, as if he were lifting a weightless, tattered garment.
The portal ahead suddenly opened, and the next second, the two figures vanished completely from the desolate battlefield.
The sacred tree, over 9500 meters tall, has towering branches that coil like a giant dragon, obscuring the entire sky. The air is filled with rich natural energy, and inhaling it brings a sense of peace and tranquility.
Uchiha Sanfeng casually tossed Kashin Koji onto the soft ground with a dull thud.
The next second, the roots of the sacred tree stirred quietly, and dozens of slender white roots emerged from the soil, like gentle tentacles, and gently wrapped around the limbs and torso of Guoxin Jushi.
A soft green light emanated from the roots, and pure life energy slowly flowed into Guoxin Jushi's body through the roots. The tiny red tendrils that clung to the wounds were also slowly absorbing the bloodstains on his body.
From his broken limbs, faint cracking sounds could be heard as the bones healed, and his deathly pale face gradually regained some color. The gruesome wounds on his body scabbed over and fell off at a visible speed, revealing tender new flesh.
Uchiha Mitsumine stood aside with his hands behind his back, quietly watching everything. He did not rush to wake up Kashin Koji, but waited for the best time when the other's body was fully repaired and the divine power was stable.
A few seconds later, Guoxin Jushi's body was basically restored, and the rise and fall of his chest became steady and even. However, he was still in a deep coma, and there was still a trace of pain between his brows caused by the mental shock.
Uchiha Mitsunori slowly stepped forward and gently touched Kashin Koji's brow with his finger.
The power of illusion silently invaded Koshin Koji's consciousness, weaving an invisible shackle in his unconscious mind.
Having done all this, Uchiha Mitsunori withdrew his right hand.
As if sensing his intention, the roots of the sacred tree that were wrapped around Guoxin Jushi glowed with a faint red light.
Uchiha Mitsunaga placed his palm on the Divine Tree, using chakra to establish a close connection with the Divine Tree.
"Mobilize all directions."
Uchiha Mitsunori closed his eyes, silently recited the command in his mind, and precisely transmitted the command to Kashin Koji, who was under the control of the genjutsu, through the connection between the Divine Tree and the Roots.
The next second, Guoxin Jushi's body trembled slightly, and a faint golden light suddenly appeared between his brows. The golden light spread along the veins of his roots and intertwined with the halo of the divine tree.
The divine technique "Ten Directions" was activated once again, and countless future trajectories, like a high-speed data stream, were precisely transmitted to Uchiha Mitsuru's mind through the roots of the Divine Tree.
Uchiha Mitsunori was completely immersed in this massive torrent of information, as if everything outside of him was isolated from him.
He could clearly see the complete trajectory of each future branch.
In one branch, disregarding the fact that the Divine Tree's energy was not yet fully replenished, he rashly led the members of the Shell Organization to attack Planet Otsutsuki, and suffered a crushing defeat due to underestimating the hidden power of the Otsutsuki's higher-ups.
In another branch, he chose to lie low, first integrating the power of the Kara organization and the ninja world, cultivating a new Otsutsuki clan, waiting for the God Tree's energy to reach its peak before taking action, and finally joining forces with Kaguya's power to successfully overthrow the corrupt rule of the Otsutsuki and establish a new cosmic order.
In another branch, Urashiki, along with other expelled Otsutsuki remnants, took advantage of his distraction while studying the power of the ten directions to launch a sneak attack, destroying part of the Divine Tree's root system and completely disrupting his entire plan... The details of each branch are crystal clear, as if one had personally experienced them.
This ability to foresee all future branching paths filled Uchiha Mitsunori with intense excitement.
This was not the first time he had encountered the power to foresee the future... Queen Miroku and her daughter Shion both possessed this talent, but their abilities ultimately paled in comparison to Shifang's.
Shion and Miroku can only capture key moments and important events in the future, such as the outcome of a war or the life or death of an important person, but they cannot see the many possibilities behind the events, let alone the trajectory deviations caused by different choices.
Unlike Shifang, it can clearly list all future branches and even show the minute details in each branch: from the tone of a conversation or a change in a look, to the specific progress of a war or the rise and fall of a planet, nothing can escape its sight.
This is exactly the power he needs most to fight against the Otsutsuki!
With it, he can avoid all fatal risks in advance and accurately find the optimal path to victory.
Suppressing his excitement, Uchiha Mitsunori continued to use the power of the Divine Tree to repeatedly activate Kashin Koji's Ten Directions, carefully studying the operating mechanism and core power of the divine technique, constantly recording every detail about the Ten Directions in his mind.
Time quietly passed as divine spells were activated and fused and studied time and time again, and the halo of the divine tree changed from flickering to flowing steadily.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. The three peaks of the Uchiha clan remained under the Divine Tree, devoting themselves to in-depth research on the power of the ten directions, and never set foot in their residence.
During these days, he used the power of the divine tree to analyze the core of power in all directions during the day, and at night he deduced the probability of different future branches in his mind.
His gaze grew increasingly profound, and his aura became more and more composed. Occasionally, when he opened his eyes, a golden light that shared the same origin as the ten directions would flash in his pupils before disappearing again.
The roots of the divine tree gently entwined around Kashin Koji, providing him with the chakra needed to maintain the operation of his divine arts and preventing him from perishing due to excessive consumption of divine arts. On the other hand, it also continuously transmitted his every insight into the ten directions and every fluctuation of power to the Uchiha Mitsurugi, like a precise "power converter".
Guoxin Jushi's body grew stronger under the nourishment of the divine tree, but his consciousness was always imprisoned by illusions, like a soulless puppet.
Finally, after Kashin Koji activated the Ten Directions once again, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from Uchiha Mitsunori's body, even more brilliant than when Kashin Koji had awakened.
As if summoned, the divine tree began to shake violently, and countless golden chakras fell from the leaves, swirling and dancing around the three peaks of the Uchiha clan.
He slowly opened his eyes, and countless tiny points of light appeared in his pupils, like a condensed galaxy slowly flowing.
Those points of light are microcosms of countless future branches; with just a thought, one can clearly see the details of any one of them.
He gently raised his hand, and a golden trajectory appeared in his palm, a concrete manifestation of one of the future branches.
He successfully mastered the power of all directions!
What surprised him even more was that his original pupil technique, the Eye of God, had perfectly merged with the power of the ten directions. Not only could he directly observe all the future paths, but he could also use the insight of the Eye of God to instantly filter out useless branch information and lock in the optimal future trajectory to victory more quickly.
Uchiha Mitsunori's lips curled into a satisfied smile; his efforts over the past few days had finally paid off.
Thus, the role of Guoxin Jushi was greatly diminished.
He no longer needs to rely on this "container" to access the power of the ten directions.
Nowadays, Guoxin Jushi has become someone who is dispensable to him.
Uchiha Mitsunori slowly raised his hand and withdrew the chakra he had injected into the Divine Tree.
The roots that were wrapped around Guoxin Jushi seemed to have lost their support and slowly loosened, then shrank back into the divine tree.
At the same time, he condensed a wisp of golden chakra in his finger again, and with a gentle flick, the chakra landed on Kashin Koji's brow, dispelling the genjutsu placed on him.
Without the control of the illusion and the support of the divine tree's energy, Guoxin Jushi's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
His eyelids twitched uncontrollably a few times, and he slowly awoke from his coma.
When Guoxin Jushi woke up, his eyes were dazed and his mind was in chaos. Countless fragments of the future and the excruciating pain of the mental shock intertwined, causing him to let out a painful groan.
He struggled to sit up, but as soon as he exerted force in his limbs, a tingling and numb sensation came over him. He could only use his still not very flexible arms to support himself on the ground and move his body little by little.
When he looked up and saw the Uchiha Sanfeng standing beside the Divine Tree, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a nameless fear welled up in his heart.
The aura of Uchiha Mitsuru was even more terrifying than before. Countless invisible trajectories seemed to surround his body, and just being looked at by him made one feel as if everything about them had been seen through.
Guoxin Jushi subconsciously touched his limbs; the wounds had already healed.
He glanced furtively at Uchiha Mitsurugi. At this moment, the intense killing intent in his eyes was gone; it was as if he were looking at a disposable tool.
"What...what did you do to me...?"
Guoxin Jushi's voice trembled slightly; he was now somewhat afraid of the man in front of him.
"You are no longer of much use to me. So I have decided to release you and send you back to the Shell organization's base."
After saying that, he opened the portal and threw Guoxin Jushi inside.
Guoxin Jushi stood stunned at the Shell Organization's base, his eyes filled with... the joy of surviving a disaster.
"I actually survived that man's clutches..."
