"Sealing Technique: Dead Demon Consuming Seal!"
Uzumaki Kongming's face was solemn. Surrounded by the grave gazes of the Uzumaki Clan elders, he skillfully and accurately completed all the hand seals. Then, he clasped his hands together, and the air suddenly vibrated!
A bizarre and ghostly aura spread out like mist, and the entire council hall immediately became chilling. Accompanied by a series of sharp, ghostly wails, a faint figure slowly emerged behind Uzumaki Kongming.
Holding black prayer beads, with a Wakizashi short sword in its mouth, a head of messy, lion-like long hair, a face as fierce as a demon, seemingly crying yet not crying, seemingly laughing yet not laughing, with upturned corners of the mouth revealing forest-white fangs, like a pity for all life, and like a mockery of the withering of life, eight clusters of pale hellfire slowly burned around his figure.
Death God, manifested!
Shin'yu faced his massive form directly, the surging airflow messing up his hair, his open-chested shirt fluttering, but his eyes were calm, unperturbed by the collapse of Mount Tai before him, and unalarmed by sudden encounters.
In comparison, Uzumaki Kongming, as the performer of the technique, was not so relaxed. His soul was already tightly bound by the Death God's long hair, and his body had become an altar for his descent into the mortal realm. Once the sealing ritual was completed, he would accompany the Death God into Hell forever.
But!
The man before him had guaranteed that he would be fine!
Looking at Shin'yu's calm gaze, his heart instantly felt much more at ease, and his expression became firm.
After a discussion in the council hall, everyone recognized the plan proposed by Shin'yu.
But whether everything could be completed as desired, they still had to overcome the first difficulty:
Could the "Dead Demon Consuming Seal" achieve precise separation and isolate the "Karma" mark on Shin'yu's body!
At this thought, Uzumaki Kongming immediately circulated his power. After performing the technique, his vision had synchronized with the Death God's phantom behind him. Through his Death God's eyes, the world seemed to become much clearer, and even the insides of things were incomparably transparent. His vision had completely entered another realm.
At this moment, he could clearly observe the life energy contained between every blade of grass and every tree. Everyone in the council hall was like a burning flame, that was the aura of Chakra. Every meridian in their bodies, every circulation was clearly visible, and even everyone's soul was incomparably clear!
And the person standing in front of him was simply a vigorous and blazing little sun!
His body was well-proportioned and strong, containing unimaginable monstrous blood energy. Every inch of muscle texture was like divine iron forged through thousands of trials, and every move he made had the power to uproot mountains and lift cauldrons...
The soul located in the sea of consciousness was even more vast and profound, immeasurable, as if it could merge with the heavens and earth at any time, indescribable...
That majestic and vast amount of Chakra, pure and boundless, flowed like a sea...
Even Kongming, as a member of the Uzumaki Clan, felt ashamed of his inferiority. He had only seen that level in the ancestor Uzumaki Ashina!
But now was obviously not the time to be amazed. The "Dead Demon Consuming Seal" technique continued to consume his own life force, time was limited, he immediately restrained his mind and observed Shin'yu through the Death God's vision, trying to find the "Karma" mark he mentioned.
Upon this search, he indeed discovered some clues.
Whether it was the Physical Body as refined as a divine weapon, or the ethereal and transcendent soul, or the mighty Chakra, there was actually a force among the three that did not belong to Shin'yu himself at all.
A certain existence, like a seed, was deeply rooted in his body and spirit at the same time, and was growing little by little, using his power as a source, never stopping for a moment.
This aura was extremely mysterious and elusive. If he didn't already have a goal in mind, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover it at all!
Shin'yu slightly narrowed his brows, noticing Uzumaki Kongming's gradually solemn expression, he immediately had some guesses in his heart, and asked:
"How is it, can you see the existence of 'Karma'?"
Sweat dripped from Kongming's forehead, "I can see it, it's hard to describe what it is, neither real nor unreal, like a dream, existing in your body and soul at the same time, the combination of the two is the so-called 'Karma'."
"Is it troublesome?" Shin'yu raised his right hand, staring at the rhombus-shaped mark on his palm, his expression slightly cold.
"It's not just troublesome, the mark on your hand is just an external manifestation. Its core is like a seed, already a part of you! It's using your body to create Chakra that belongs to you, but isn't yours, and..."
Uzumaki Kongming swallowed. "It's slowly awakening, growing stronger with the passage of time, like a thawing ice block, constantly turning into water and merging into your body. If it were normal times, it would be fine, but once you use Chakra to fight, or use its power, the melting speed will increase rapidly..."
"Before long, the situation will reverse, and you will become a part of 'it,' eventually fading away, while 'it' will completely awaken and take your place..."
Hearing Kongming's solemn description, the elders gasped.
Uchiha Nen frowned, unconsciously clenching his fist.
They had thought that Shin'yu's trouble would be very difficult, but with the foundation of the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques passed down for thousands of years, they should win!
What they didn't expect was that it would be so troublesome!
The Uzumaki's Sealing Technique can easily seal physical objects, seal Chakra, and even seal souls, but if you want to seal all three at the same time, the difficulty is not just additive!
Shin'yu, the person involved, had a calm expression, and raised his eyes to ask, "The Death God Wakizashi can cut everything, can't this sword cut the 'Karma'?"
"If you want to cut it, you must have a target. Now the 'Karma' and you are inseparable. If you rashly strike, there is a high probability that you will hurt your origin. Your Physical Body and soul will suffer a considerable degree of damage!" Kongming replied with a tense face, his complexion becoming paler, he was about to lose his hold.
He took a deep breath, "If the 'Karma' mark was still at the moment it just entered your body, perhaps it could be done. An ice block that hasn't melted at all, I am confident that I can cut it off with one strike..."
"Is that so?" Shin'yu's eyes lit up, the Mangekyo pattern in his right eye was like a rotating magic circle, instantly pulling his state back to the target point.
Kongming's eyes widened instantly. At that moment, the power of "Karma" briefly separated from Shin'yu, and the essence, energy, and spirit that did not belong to him were washed away, as if all the water flowed back and turned back into a part of the solid ice.
Unfortunately, the opportunity only lasted for a moment. The next moment, the solid ice began to melt again, becoming a part of Shin'yu.
Shin'yu looked directly into Kongming's eyes, his gaze burning, "Just like that, can it be cut off?"
"Yes!" Kongming answered immediately, his tone tired and excited, "One more time, and I can do it!"
"It's just that separating it from you is only a brief moment..." He was a little embarrassed again, "In that moment, I can drive the Death God phantom to seal it, but if it is sealed separately, it will probably be very troublesome..."
"It doesn't matter." Shin'yu smiled slightly, "Being able to separate is enough, then it means that our first difficulty has been overcome."
With that, he looked at Uzumaki Kongming, his deep gaze outlining his clear outline. Ame no Tokotachi immediately activated, the power of time and space slightly distorted, and everything returned to its original state.
Uzumaki Kongming stared at his hands in disbelief. The Death God phantom disappeared in an instant, the bound soul returned to his body, and the depleted vitality was restored to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
"This is..." He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Your power..."
