Chapter 1250 Wan Dajun

Three months later, the million-strong army of the Ninja Alliance assembled outside the Six Paths Altar, banners fluttering, their momentum overwhelming. Shangguan Mo stood at the forefront of the army, his Spirit Refining Hammer gleaming with golden light. The Meteorite Scorpion lay prostrate beside him, and green Tailed Beast chakra intertwined with Spirit Refining energy to form a giant light shield, enveloping the entire army. Naruto, Killer Bee, Gaara, and other Tailed Beast Jinchuriki stood on either side of him, their Tailed Beast chakra forming colorful energy phantoms behind them; Uchiha Itachi, Kakashi, Might Guy, and other elite ninjas stood in the center of the army, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

At the top of the Six Paths Altar, Obito, dressed in the robes of the Sage of Six Paths, had the Ten-Tails' Spirit God fully awakened behind him. The black tailed beast energy intertwined with the golden spirit energy, forming an energy pillar connecting heaven and earth. Zetsu stood beside him, black spores forming a giant barrier around the altar. Countless white Zetsu spirit puppets were neatly arranged within the barrier, awaiting the start of the battle.

"Shangguan Mo, the end of the ninja world has come." Obito's voice echoed throughout the entire area through the energy pillar. "Today, I will activate the Spirit Refining Cycle, freeing everyone from suffering and allowing them to enter an eternal dream."

Shangguan Mo raised the Spirit Refining Hammer, and golden spirit refining energy erupted from its head: "The fate of the ninja world is not something you can decide! Comrades, for the peace of the ninja world, for the people we cherish, let the battle begin!"

With his command, the million-strong Allied Shinobi Forces charged towards the Six Paths Altar. Spiritual energy, ninjutsu, and tailed beast chakra intertwined to form a colorful attack net, bombarding the White Zetsu puppet horde. The Fourth Shinobi World War had finally begun its final battle before the Six Paths Altar.

Above the battlefield of the Six Paths Altar, colorful energy clashed and intertwined with black Spirit Refining Flames, creating deafening explosions that blasted countless craters into the ground. Naruto activated Nine-Tails Mode, his golden Tailed Beast Chakra forming a giant fox that sent dozens of White Zetsu Spirit Refining Puppets flying with a single punch. Killer Bee's Eight-Tails Tailed Beast Cannon blasted towards the altar's barrier, causing blue energy to ripple across it. Gaara's Sand Release fused with Spirit Refining Energy, forming a golden sandstorm that engulfed the horde of puppets.

Shangguan Mo led the core members of the Spirit Refiner Legion, charging towards the top of the altar. The Starfall Scorpion's scorpion tail energy cannons fired continuously, the green tailed beast chakra merging with golden spirit refining energy, piercing the cores of puppet after puppet. Shangguan Mo, meanwhile, used Spirit Refining Teleportation to constantly dodge attacks, the light blades unleashed by his Spirit Refining Hammer purifying the dark energy of an area with each swing.

"Stop them!" Obito roared, and the Ten-Tails' giant hand slammed down towards Shangguan Mo, the powerful winds sending the surrounding spirit refiners staggering. Shangguan Mo immediately activated his Spirit Refining: Immortal Beast Symbiotic Form, his immortal wings unfurling. Golden spirit refining energy and green immortal energy intertwined to form a light shield, blocking the giant hand's attack. The instant the light shield collided with the giant hand, Shangguan Mo unleashed all his energy, the light shield transforming into countless light blades that severed the giant hand's spirit refining bones.

Suddenly, Jue's spores burst from the ground, forming black tentacles that wrapped around Shangguan Mo's ankles. The dark energy of the tentacles spread along his body, attempting to erode his spiritual energy. "Shangguan Mo, your spiritual refining technique is powerful, but ultimately it cannot withstand the power of darkness," Jue's voice carried an eerie laugh. "Become nourishment for the cycle of spiritual refining."

Just then, Itachi Uchiha's Amaterasu suddenly ignited, the black flames completely incinerating the tentacles. Itachi teleported to Shangguan Mo's side, his Mangekyou Sharingan's power erupting: the genjutsu light of "Kotoamatsukami: Protection" enveloped Shangguan Mo, completely purifying the dark energy within him. "I'll hold Zetsu back, you deal with Obito. The core of the Ten-Tails' Spirit God is in its chest; only the Ten-Tails' Origin Pearl can completely destroy it."

Shangguan Mo nodded his thanks, activated the Spirit Refining Teleportation, and appeared in front of the Ten-Tails Spirit Refining God's chest. The Spirit Refining Hammer condensed the energy of the Ten-Tails' Origin Pearl, and the golden and purple energy intertwined to form a giant light sword: "Spirit Refining - Six Paths Purification Slash!" The light sword pierced towards the core of the Spirit Refining God, but was blocked by Obito using Wood Release: Minabukuro Technique. Countless wooden tentacles wrapped around the light sword, attempting to absorb its energy.

"Your attacks are useless against me!" Obito activated Six Paths Sage Mode, his Truth-Seeking Balls forming a shield to block Shangguan Mo's subsequent attacks. He raised his hand and activated "Planetary Devastation," countless rocks rising from the ground and converging into a giant meteorite, hurtling towards Shangguan Mo. Shangguan Mo's Spirit Refining Immortal Beast Symbiotic Form exploded to its limit, his wingspan reaching a hundred meters, golden energy supporting the meteorite while simultaneously pushing the energy back towards Obito.

Obito shattered the meteorite with his Truth-Seeking Ball, only to find Shangguan Mo already behind him, the Spirit-Refining Light Sword piercing his Truth-Seeking Ball shield and striking his chest. Obito spat out a mouthful of blood, his Six Paths Chakra beginning to malfunction: "Impossible! I am the successor of the Sage of Six Paths, how could I lose to you?"

"You are not worthy to inherit the power of the Sage of Six Paths." Shangguan Mo's voice was icy. The energy of the spirit refining technique flowed into Obito's body through the light sword, purifying his dark chakra. "The Sage of Six Paths created the spirit refining technique to protect the ninja world, but you used it to create war. You were never the inheritor, just a madman devoured by darkness."

A struggle flashed in Obito's eyes. He remembered his past dreams, and Rin's death. The darkness in his heart began to waver. Seeing this, Zetsu immediately injected all the black spores into Obito's body: "Lord Obito, don't be deceived by him! Only through the Reincarnation of the Ten-Tails can you realize your dream!" Obito's eyes turned crazed again. He absorbed all the energy of the Ten-Tails' Reincarnation God into his body, and his body swelled to a hundred meters tall, becoming the "Ten-Tails Reincarnation Jinchuriki".
