Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Break the River of Time and Fight for Survival!
At this moment, Buyie was stunned. The sharp pain coursing through his body reminded him that his wounds had reopened. He glanced at Reiki in confusion.
How could this young man wield such power—enough to sever my time and space techniques? Is this truly something within his reach?
His gaze shifted to Reiki standing before him, armed with a spear, a sharp blade, and a dragon claw. The sickly black sword that had struck the initial blow still lingered in his mind. Strangely, none of this energy felt overwhelming on the surface, yet its impact was undeniable.
Even though the young girl, Chodori, shared a similar path of development—exploring time and space magic—the disparity between them should have been vast. And yet...
"Pfft!"
Buyie suddenly drove his claw into his own wound, tearing out the injured flesh and discarding it. As the cursed energy, the breaking power, and the destructive force drained away, even the lingering effects of space-time magic were expelled.
Reiki frowned as he observed this. His previous attack had been his full strength for now. Although he still had the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities at his disposal, continuing to attack at this level would drain him excessively.
"Boy, you've surprised me many times," Buyie muttered, his voice heavy with both admiration and menace. "Perhaps now I understand why the Candle Party foolishly entrusted this to you. In this world, maybe only you can..."
He paused, a grim smile crossing his face. "But enough talk. Take my final blow, and I will leave."
The surrounding polluted natural energy began to shift, boiling as gray-black particles floated through the air, eventually condensing into a thick layer of ash beneath Buyie.
"Leave?" Reiki didn't understand Buyie's words. But the oppressive aura radiating from his foe left no time to ponder their meaning.
"I have no choice but to fight with everything I have," Reiki muttered.
As he prepared, Reiki extracted every ounce of tailed beast chakra from his body. His shadow clone, hidden in another dimension, returned to replenish his magical chakra reserves. Standing tall, Reiki held the Sky-Breaking Blade and Nirvana Spear. His demonic armor transformed once more—his face was now exposed, his chest armor thickened, and a pair of golden wings unfolded behind him.
Reiki stood aloft, resembling both a dragon and a god of war.
"Pure Eye!"
"Time Travel: Hundred Slashes!"
The Pure Eye reappeared on Reiki's forehead, its glowing radiance showing him glimpses of Buyie's future actions. The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan activated, revealing the river of time.
Reiki didn't wait for Buyie to attack. Instead, he initiated the battle.
Since one slash wasn't enough to cause significant damage, then he would strike two, three, or more. Each swing of Reiki's blade inflicted wounds on Buyie that couldn't heal. These strikes, imbued with ultimate destructive power, eroded Buyie's body.
Yet, Buyie seemed unfazed. He smiled grimly and muttered, "If only you were here a little earlier…"
Suddenly, a massive dragon claw appeared above Reiki, tearing through the fabric of space itself. The cracks created a powerful time-space restriction, interrupting Reiki's attack.
"ROOM!"
Reiki activated the Surgical Fruit's ability, but the ROOM spatial field was instantly shredded by the chaotic energy. Escape became impossible.
"Do I have no choice but to take this head-on?" Reiki thought, panic creeping in.
The dragon claw drew closer.
"Time-Piercing Sword: Sever the River!"
Reiki raised the Sky-Breaking Blade, slashing through the space before him. Using the Surgical Fruit, he severed his connection with his surroundings, switching positions with Buyie in an instant.
"Boundless!"
The moment their places swapped, countless tree roots emerged from the ground, catching the now-exhausted Reiki. The demonic armor faded away, leaving him vulnerable. Gujia, Orr, and Chodori reverted to their smaller forms, standing beside him with worried expressions.
Mochizuki coiled around Reiki, pouring chakra into him to stabilize his condition.
Reiki had succeeded—he severed the river of time and disrupted the space limitations. Using the Surgical Fruit, he escaped Buyie's deadly blow. However, the cost was steep. Most of his chakra and life energy had been drained. Silver streaks now ran through his once-black hair.
Reiki quickly consumed the Dragon Essence Potion, restoring some of his vitality. He downed more potions, replenishing his origins as if his survival depended on it.
"BOOM!"
A deafening roar erupted where Reiki had stood moments earlier. The sound was brief but powerful, leaving an unsettling silence in its wake. Buyie's figure emerged, shrouded in dust, his overwhelming aura intact.
Reiki clenched his fists, his heart pounding. If not for the Mangekyō Sharingan's unique abilities, he would have been the one enduring that devastating attack.
"Well done, Reiki," a familiar voice suddenly spoke, resonating with warmth and authority.
Reiki turned, his energy replenished and his body rejuvenated. Even his magical chakra reserves and tailed beasts had grown stronger. He could feel Wangyue nearing recovery—a stark contrast to its previously critical state.
"Immortal… Master Zhu!?" Reiki gasped as a figure appeared behind him.
A long, ancient dragon descended gracefully, its presence timeless and awe-inspiring. Slowly circling downward, the dragon's claws extended.
The figure of Immortal Candle emerged, its immense power radiating behind Reiki. With a simple gesture, the violent energy emanating from Buyie vanished entirely.
As the dust settled, Buyie's battered form came into view once more.
