Chapter 164 Expansion and Ghosts
Boom boom boom~~~
The energy wave triggered an astonishing bombardment, which not only engulfed Naraku and Maitreya, but also caused the entire space to shake.
But before the demons could be happy, when the bombing dissipated, Naraku and Maitreya reappeared unscathed.
The flickering gravity shield covered Naraku and Maitreya.
"come on!"
After removing the protective shield, Naraku reached out to grab the demon without mercy.
The true energy is continuously poured into the [Mangekyo Sharingan], causing it to stimulate more powerful gravity.
I saw layers of ripples rising around the monster first, and then the next second, the ripples shrank rapidly.
"ah!!!"
When the ripples came into contact with the demon, the demon screamed in fright and anger, but it was of no use at all.
The ripples continue to compress the demon with strong power.
In the end, the demon was forcibly compressed into a ball the size of a football, and was sealed inside by substantial gravity.
call out! !
The monster, which looked like a dark purple energy ball, flew into Naraku's hand and was weighed casually by Naraku.
"What, haven't you come to your senses yet?"
Naraku turned to look at Maitreya beside him, and when he saw that he was in a trance, he couldn't help but smile.
Compared to Maitreya's daughter Aster in the original plot, Maitreya is more like a queen than a witch, very graceful and noble.
It's just that at this time, Maitreya lost his previous grace, and instead looked very restrained and confused.
This was especially true when she saw the demon being held casually in Naraku's hands.
"Sir, what are you going to do with the monsters next?" Maitreya, who had come back to his senses, couldn't help but ask Naraku.
As she spoke, she looked at Naraku with eyes that showed respect unconsciously.
no way.
She really didn't expect that the demon she was so afraid of could be controlled so easily.
In this situation, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that the man in front of her was more powerful than she imagined.
and
Hearing Maitreya's words, Naraku said playfully: "Why, are you afraid that I will destroy the monsters?"
He knew that the shrine maiden of the Ghost Country was actually one with the monsters and sprites.
Once the monsters are truly eliminated, the shrine maidens of the Ghost Country will inevitably die.
This is why the original witches only sealed the monsters instead of completely eradicating them.
It's not that the miko at that time didn't have this ability, it was just that they didn't want to do it.
"No, you can destroy the monsters, I'm not happy enough." Maitreya hesitated for a moment, then said firmly.
Maybe dying with the monsters would be a good ending.
At least this way, I can be considered as fulfilling my destiny as a miko.
"Then what if I can destroy the monsters and save your life at the same time?" Looking at Maitreya, who has an outstanding appearance and figure, Naraku raised his left hand politely and pinched the opponent's chin.
Maitreya originally wanted to retreat and avoid.
But when she heard Naraku's words, she suddenly stiffened.
"My lord, what you mean is"
Naraku said slowly: "I already know about the relationship between your witch lineage and the demons. What do you mean by me?"
Maitreya: "."
She looked at each other in surprise.
Does the other party really know that their lineage is one with the monsters?
No, even if she didn't know, she didn't seem to have any room to resist.
It is now a matter of time before the Kingdom of Oni is captured by the Star Ninja Village.
As the leader of the Star Ninja Village, the other party will inevitably become the other party's prisoner just like the sprites.
"If you can really let me survive when you destroy the monsters, then I am willing to help you conquer the country of ghosts."
Various thoughts flashed through Maitreya's mind, and finally they converged into one idea, which was to survive.
She took a deep breath, took a step back slowly, and then took the initiative to kneel on the ground, lowering her head to express her attitude to Naraku.
No one is not afraid of death.
If he could really save his life while destroying the monsters, Maitreya would naturally want to survive.
As for the Kingdom of Ghosts.
There is no suspense about the Kingdom of Ghosts being captured. If she takes the initiative to surrender, it can actually reduce casualties.
"The right choice, then it all depends on your performance!" Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground in front of him, Naraku accepted the other party's surrender with a chuckle.
The one-body relationship between the other person and the monster is equivalent to body and soul.
Although the power is mainly concentrated on the sprites, as a physical body, Maitreya also has part of the sprites' power in his body.
If this part of the power can be channeled, it will not be a problem for ordinary elite jounin, not to mention making the opponent become the top fighting force in the ninja world.
Maitreya's surrender undoubtedly accelerated the fall of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
After all, the shrine maiden of the Ghost Country has a transcendent status in the Ghost Country.
Especially the reputation, which is even higher than the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Demons.
In less than a month, the Kingdom of Ghosts completely fell and was annexed by the Kingdom of Bears.
Although this annexation only occupied the territory, it will take more time to receive and manage it.
But the annexation of the Ghost Country to the Bear Country has been settled.
Let’s talk about Naraku.
After successfully capturing the demon, he handed Maitreya directly to Summer Star on the frontline battlefield.
He did not participate in the subsequent events, but returned directly to the Star Ninja Village.
"Kishin. I never thought that before Kaguya Otsutsuki came, this world would still have something like this."
On the ninth floor of the Xingying Tower, Naraku looked at the monsters opposite him that were being tempered by the true fire cauldron with great interest.
During the quenching, the screams of the ghosts could be heard from time to time in the True Fire Cauldron.
However, Naraku completely ignored these screams, and instead pondered the origin of the ghosts.
After returning to the Star Ninja Village, he immediately started to study the ghosts.
For example, exploring the memory of the ghosts.
The ghosts did not only exist in the Ninja Village era, but had existed long before the Chakra era.
If we use the name of that era, the ghosts are not monsters, but one of the ghosts and gods that rule the earth.
That's right.
Before Kaguya Otsutsuki descended on the Ninja World, the Ninja World was not without extraordinary powers.
Just like Gamamaru, who was revered as the Great Toad Sage in Myoboku Mountain.
At that time, the Ninja World actually had extraordinary powers.
These beings who possessed extraordinary powers were collectively called ghosts and gods.
However, with the advent of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the ghosts and gods were all strongly attacked by Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Either they were killed or they hid like rats crossing the street.
Wuliang was the latter.
In the war between Kaguya Otsutsuki and the ghosts and gods, Wuliang was severely injured by Kaguya Otsutsuki, and hid very sincerely, and finally survived fortunately.
After exploring the origin of Wuliang, Naraku thought of a lot.
For example, the evil gods and death gods circulated in the ninja world.
From Wuliang's memory, these two are also ghosts and gods from ancient times.
"Next, it is necessary to find these remnants of the old times." The appearance of ghosts and gods made Naraku very interested.
Mainly when studying Wuliang, Naraku found that the power of ghosts and gods mastered by the other party was quite similar to the origin of the tailed beasts.
The ghosts and gods were born before the chakra era, and the extraordinary power they mastered would naturally not be chakra.
They control the energy called the power of ghosts and gods.
This energy, in the insight of the divine consciousness, is very similar to the power of the tailed beasts.
This is why he used the True Fire Cauldron to refine the Wuliang.
The purpose is to purify the power of ghosts and gods in the other party's body to facilitate the subsequent absorption.
During the refinement in the True Fire Cauldron, the screams of the Wuliang gradually became smaller until there was no movement at all.
After a long time, when the refinement was over, Naraku removed the True Fire Cauldron.
A dark purple crystal like a gem appeared.
This is the high-purity power of ghosts and gods formed after refinement.
As for the Wuliang, the other party had already erased his consciousness during the refinement.
In addition, under Naraku's control, the death of the Wuliang did not affect Maitreya, it was a one-sided death.
He stretched out his hand.
The dark purple crystal fell into Naraku's hand.
He placed his palms facing each other, and connected the dark purple crystals between his palms with true qi at a distance.
A wisp of ghost power flows into the body along with the true qi.
As Naraku runs the nameless technique, the ghost power is like the power of the tailed beast at the beginning, rapidly strengthening the true qi in the body.
A whole day.
When the dark purple crystal between the palms completely disappeared, Naraku's cultivation has been greatly improved.
Let him go halfway on the road to the sixth level of Qi training.
You should know that after entering the sixth level of Qi training, the difficulty of improving cultivation has increased again.
So in the past days, Naraku's cultivation progress was very slow.
Now that the cultivation has been pushed up to half of the progress of the sixth level of Qi training, the effect of the ghost power on the improvement of cultivation is better than Naraku expected.
That is to say, Naraku still has a bottom line.
Otherwise, with the outstanding ghost power, he would have caught Maitreya back.
After all, Maitreya also has a part of the ghost power of the ghost in his body.
Although not as good as the ghost, refining can also bring another improvement in cultivation.
