Chapter 894: Battle of the Twin Gods of the Netherworld! (Combined Chapter)
[Roar Roar Roar Roar Roar]
The Pure Land was supposed to be a place of peace for the deceased.
However, this Underworld of the Ninja World now seemed even more clamorous than the Human World.
One Great Explosion after another rose from the pitch-black Earth.
The bright Hikari caused the Heaven and Earth to switch back and forth between light and dark.
Surging Shockwaves continuously swept across large Zones, destroying all Hills and Forests along the way, while sending figures, both large and small, flying into the High Altitude.
Large numbers of Rogue Ninja who had come from various Ninja Villages during their lives, or who had no affiliation.
Upon opening their eyes after death, they were forced, willingly or unwillingly, to join this Pure Land defense battle.
Because whether they wanted to or not, as long as their Souls appeared in the Pure Land, the nearby Kabaneri, Man-Eating Demons, and Souls originating from Sea Star Hell would quickly attack.
Facing King Yama's Enma Army.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo had completely relaxed the conditions for the Pure Land; as long as they were Ninja or Samurai with Strength reaching the Genin level, they would all stay and fight.
Even if this meant they might never have a chance for Reincarnation again, and would be completely Soul Annihilation in the Combat.
At this moment.
Even the interior of the Shinobi Sect was invaded by a portion of Powerhouses.
Among the weaker ones were Kabaneri in 'Nue' Form.
Fear Energy Bullets, one after another, continuously bombarded the Ninja, incidentally causing great Destruction to the surrounding Buildings.
There were also Kokushibo, Douma, Akaza, Gyutaro, and so on, these Man-Eating Demons originally belonging to the 'Twelve Kizuki'.
Their Strength had also improved significantly under King Yama's command.
It was already difficult for the Jonin on the Ninja World side to fight them alone.
Even Elite Jonin-level Ninja were having a tough time.
And the stronger ones.
Naturally, they were the Powerhouses originating from the World.
Among them were Military Officers who were formerly under the World Government, and Pirates who had once roamed the Grand Line.
However, the Strength level of these individuals still belonged to the mid to low tier.
Because there was basically not a single Admiral Level Combat Power among them.
The most conspicuous among them were the former Roger Pirates Crewmates, and the group of High-Ranking Samurai from Wano Country back then.
The former were Massacred by Im personally during their lives, while the latter were completely Elimination by Kaido.
The Strength of these individuals was roughly between Admiral and Vice Admiral, with the weakest being at the Rear Admiral level.
And their opponents were the Village Shadows of successive generations of the Ninja World.
Such as Retsu, the First Tsuchikage, Ay, the First Raikage, Byakuren, the First Mizukage, Ishikawa, the First Tsuchikage, and so on.
In addition.
The successive generations of Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, as a major representative Combat Power of the Ninja World.
Naturally, they also participated.
Although they could not perform Full Tailed Beast Transformation like they did in life, turning into giant Tailed Beasts Roaring in all directions.
They could, however, enter the 'Partial Tailed Beast Transformation' state.
Turning into dark red Monsters wrapped in 'Tailed Beast Chakra Cloaks', unleashing super strong Combat Power.
Coupled with the ability to release small Tailed Beast Bombs, they were the most reliable Fire Support points for the Pure Land Ninja Sect.
The small Tailed Beast Bombs they occasionally spat out could clear out a large Zone outside the Barrier Jutsu as long as they landed.
Even the 'Black Smoke' formed by countless Kabaneri gathered together could not escape the fate of annihilation.
However.
No matter how heated their Combat was, it could only be considered mid to low-level slaughter.
The victory or defeat of this Pure Land defense battle and the Pure Land Invaders.
Ultimately, it still depended on those few high-level combatants, as well as Otsutsuki Hagoromo and King Yama.
At this moment.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo stood in the High Altitude, holding his Sage Staff, constantly staring at King Yama's Aura within the Black Hole.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly.
He noticed that the four figures floating beside the Black Hole above began to slowly descend towards the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest directions of the Shinobi Sect.
Without any hesitation.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo immediately used Soul Telepathy to communicate with some of the Ninja World Powerhouses fighting in various places.
"Madara, the one in the east is up to you. Be careful, that is the strongest presence among the four!"
Just as Madara Uchiha was controlling the Chakra Greatsword in the hand of his Susanoo, shattering a large area of the Ground where Upper Rank Five Gyokko was located, the familiar voice echoed in his mind again.
This caused him to suddenly raise his head.
A pair of demonic Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan stared directly at the Pure Land Overhead, which was still filled with Hikari.
He indeed saw an imposing figure in red clothing, grinning and showing two rows of white teeth, rapidly descending towards a nearby location.
"Good timing!"
Madara Uchiha was not surprised but delighted.
He no longer felt the same novelty towards these mid to low-level Small Fry as before.
Madara Uchiha immediately dispersed the dark blue Susanoo around him.
Picking up a fine long saber he had seized casually, he once again displayed terrifying Melee Combat Strength.
While fiercely cutting down all the strange-shaped beings blocking his path, he rushed towards the Landing Point of that figure at an extremely fast Speed.
"Mu, Hozuki Gengetsu, you two deal with the one in the south!"
"Uchiha Kagami, Hatake Sakumo, you two are responsible for the west!"
"Third Kazekage and Second Raikage, you two go to the north!"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo issued Orders one after another.
To be honest, he somewhat regretted sending Hashirama Senju and Senju Tobirama to the Ninja World.
And the deaths of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō also surprised him.
They were defeated by a single Samurai even when teaming up?
At the same time.
In the four directions of the Shinobi Sect, not long after those four figures landed.
As if they had made a Promise with each other, one giant and dazzling Blade Light after another, of various colors, bloomed.
[Buzz——————]
Instantly, the piercing shriek of the Void being forcibly torn apart resounded throughout the entire area.
The brilliant Radiance illuminated the entire somewhat dim Netherworld Heaven and Earth.
In the east was a giant, crescent-shaped Blade Light, black-red in color and carrying countless Lightning.
In the south was a giant, crescent-shaped Blade Light, also carrying countless Lightning, but silver-white in color.
In the west were two intersecting X-shaped crimson giant Blade Lights, with endless Black Lightning continuously shooting outwards.
Finally, in the north were also two giant Blade Lights.
However, they attacked along paths to the left and right, were bright yellow in color, and had no Lightning.
But the Momentum was still so great that it caused the Ninja in front to change their expressions drastically.
These terrifying Blade Lights, reaching up to Heaven and Earth.
Forced the Ninja on the Shinobi Sect side to unite and quickly perform Hand Seals in front of them.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Technique!!!"
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough Technique!!!"
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!!!"
"Lightning Style: Lightning Strike Technique!!!"
Ninja, one after another, who would be considered Jonin-level Elite Ninja even in the Human World of the Ninja World.
In various parts of the Shinobi Sect, they either spat out blazing Flames and surging water waves, or created cracking Lightning and surging Gales.
Here, although they did not have the ability to infinitely reconstruct their Bodies like with Impure World Reincarnation.
Their Chakra could recover infinitely, so they could freely use various high-Power Ninjutsu without worrying about Consumption issues.
This was also the reason why the Ninja side, despite being at a numerical disadvantage, could resist the countless Enma Army.
At the same time.
Those successive generations of Tailed Beast Jinchuriki also noticed those overly brilliant giant Blade Lights.
They immediately began to gather small Tailed Beast Bombs again, and a few seconds later, purple-black Energy Spheres shot out amidst circles of Sonic Boom Airwaves!
[Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!]
The offensives of both sides seemed distant, yet they were instantaneous, colliding head-on without any fancy moves.
The Radiance that bloomed at this moment divided the entire World into areas of different colored light.
The Void trembled violently, and the Pure Land shook violently.
Amidst the deafening Rumble, an unimaginably terrifying Strength that seemed capable of destroying everything was frantically venting.
Nearby, whether on the Enma Army side or the Pure Land Ninja Sect side, anyone lacking Strength was annihilated in this Doomsday-like Great Explosion.
When all the Commotion gradually dissipated with the passage of Time.
Figures slowly emerged from the rolling dust in the four directions, appearing tall.
North.
It was a strong man in yellow clothing with long black hair and round Sunglasses on his face.
He was holding an axe in each hand, grinning and walking over with a smile.
West.
It was a giant man with an exaggerated Body Size, nearly four meters tall, holding long sabers with purple and white Sword Hilts in his hands.
He wore an orange Kimono that exposed his thighs, and had purple and white Shimenawa tied around his shoulders and waist. Both the Smile on his face and his aura emphasized the word 'Wild'.
South.
He looked much more normal, an uncle in a white Robe with an elegant demeanor, wearing Glasses, and his long golden hair slicked back.
He was simply carrying an ordinary-looking long saber in one hand, walking step by step towards the Shinobi Sect and the rows of Ninja.
Finally, in the East.
Before the Ninja could even see the person, they heard a burst of incomparably boisterous laughter rushing towards them.
"Hehehehe~ Uh ah ha ha ha ha~"
When the laughter stopped, a man wearing a red Coat, with a pair of curled mustaches on his mouth, was seen.
Gripping a Rapier in his Right Hand, he walked out from the Smoke and Dust and large Dents behind him.
"I am 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger! Call out your Strongest Ninja!" Roger stopped walking and shouted loudly.
The Ninja on the opposite side looked at each other.
They could indeed say who the Strongest Ninja was; it was undoubtedly the 'God of Shinobi', Hashirama Senju.
But they hadn't seen him fighting yet, so they didn't know who the Strongest was currently present.
However, some Ninja showed a look of anticipation.
These were the people who knew that another Ninja World Legend had also appeared in the Pure Land.
[Swish!]
The next second.
Another crimson figure fell from the air to the front of all the Ninja.
However, this person was not wearing a Coat, but rather a set of ancient Armor that seemed quite archaic to many modern Ninja.
"This... this person is..."
A Jonin who was originally from Cloud Hidden Village during his life muttered hesitantly, looking at the Back View of the person.
It wasn't just him; many modern Ninja didn't recognize him.
But there were also quite a few Ninja present who were from the Warring States Period or the early Ninja Village era; they recognized him almost at a glance.
There was nothing they could do; the impression this person gave them was simply too terrifying.
To some extent, the Ninja of various Villages back then would rather provoke Hashirama Senju than dare to provoke him!
"Madara Uchiha!!!"
Soon, a Jonin from Stone Village who was from the Konoha Founding Era couldn't help but let out a shocked exclamation first, his tone still clearly retaining Fear.
"What?"
"He is Madara Uchiha!"
"That Madara Uchiha? Are you sure!"
The crowd of Ninja immediately discussed animatedly, mainly because the previous mutual bombardment had cleaned up the Battlefield quite thoroughly, giving them this time.
However, new Enma Army would soon swarm in, so they didn't have much time to Relax.
After all, compared to one Ninja World Pure Land, King Yama's side had the Foundation of three entire Netherworlds, and the Quantity of Kabaneri was almost Infinite.
A single Kabaneri, of course, could not enter the Soul Barrier set up by Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
But they could gather together, forming 'Black Smoke' with 'Nue' Form Kabaneri as the Core.
And even if the 'Black Smoke' was dispersed.
As long as the 'Nue' Form Kabaneri inside were still alive, they could still enter the Soul Barrier and cause considerable Destruction.
So the Ninja could not completely ignore the threat of the Kabaneri and had to use large-scale Ninjutsu again and again to eliminate them.
Returning to Madara Uchiha.
His sudden appearance.
Not only caused repeated Exclamations from the Ninja on the east side of the Shinobi Sect, but also successfully attracted Roger's Attention on the opposite side.
Roger first looked Madara up and down, and after feeling the strong Aura on him, the Smile on his face became even brighter.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"Your name is Madara Uchiha? Are you the Strongest Ninja here?"
Madara Uchiha's Expression was indifferent. With his arms crossed over his Chest, he looked directly into Roger's Gaze and said calmly, "You could say that. What about you? Are you the Strongest of your Netherworld?"
Anyway, the other party asked about 'here', and Hashirama Senju wasn't here either.
So it was quite natural for him to say he was the Strongest Ninja.
Besides.
Even if Hashirama Senju was here, what of it? He would still admit that he was the Strongest Ninja.
Because his current Strength was much stronger than his own during the 'Battle at the Valley of the End' back then.
"Uh, that's not the case. I'm probably considered second under King Yama's command..."
Roger was a bit awkward.
"Second?"
Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow, then snorted coldly, "Then I will defeat you first, and then lead the Ninja Army to counterattack your Netherworld and see that so-called Strongest!"
The reason he mentioned the word 'counterattack'.
Was also because Otsutsuki Hagoromo had said before that if they could repel King Yama's current invasion.
Then they could also use these Souls from Other Worlds as Soul Coordinates to find the location of their Netherworld of Origin.
Therefore, King Yama's act of invasion was actually riskier compared to Im invading using Star Gates!
After all, even if Im couldn't win, he could close the Star Gate at any time, but King Yama couldn't.
Just like the River of Time, the Soul River also exists in its own Dimension, penetrating all Cosmic Star Seas and carrying the Netherworlds of all Worlds.
From a certain perspective, as long as there are Soul Coordinates, travel between Netherworlds is actually easier than travel in Reality's Cosmic Star Sea.
Because it does not need to obey those Physical Laws.
For example, the restriction of the Speed of Light, the problem of Distance, or the threat of Vacuum, and so on.
One only needs to follow the Aura of the Soul Coordinates to advance.
But if there are no Soul Coordinates.
Even if they are Netherworlds in two adjacent Cosmic Star Zones, or even adjacent Worlds located in the same Cosmic Star Zone.
It is still difficult to find the other party in the vast Soul River.
It is very mysterious, and can be said to be quite an idealistic Dimension.
Of course.
Wanting to obtain the Soul Coordinates of other Netherworlds is itself an extremely harsh Condition.
If they are within the same Cosmic Star Zone, it's still okay.
There are also some Powerhouses who can achieve World travel, either taking away people from Other Worlds, or dying themselves in the other party's World, and then their Souls are taken by the Netherworld of that World.
Besides this.
It also depends on whether that Netherworld has given birth to Self-awareness, or whether there is a Lord of the Underworld similar to Otsutsuki Hagoromo or King Yama.
If there is none, and the Netherworld is completely instinctively operating the Reincarnation Division, then there is no need to worry about being invaded.
Or furthermore, there is a Lord of the Underworld, but it is also possible that they are unwilling to go to Other Netherworlds.
After all, they are all Beings with Higher Intelligence, and it is not strange for them to have their own Considerations and choices.
In summary.
Whether it is travel between the Reality Universes or travel between Soul Realms, each has its own difficulties.
And the Star Map in Im's hands just happened to solve these difficulties.
Whether it is between the Reality Universes or between Soul Realms, he can travel very easily. The only problem is that each Star Gate is completely random...
"Uh ah ha ha ha ha~"
Roger heard Madara Uchiha boasting shamelessly, but he did not open his mouth to mock him. Instead, he greatly appreciated this kind of Confidence and fearlessness.
Because in his opinion, this was truly the proper demeanor for a Powerhouse.
"Then let's go!"
The next moment, the snow-white Blade of the Supreme Grade Sharp Sword in his hand, named 'Ace'.
Originally gleaming with Cold Light, it was dyed with a trace of pitch-black color the moment it was swung out.
Instantly.
An arc-shaped Blade Light flashing with cracking Black Lightning burst out with a Whistling Sound like a roaring tiger, sweeping out horizontally.
"Divine Avoidance!!"
At this moment.
Roger's Conqueror's Haki, incomparably domineering, turned into invisible raging waves.
Opposite.
Madara Uchiha felt the Strength of this Technique.
Immediately, a Blue Energy Giant wearing Karasu-Tengu Armor appeared out of thin air around his Body.
This was the Fourth Stage of Susanoo!
But he did not intend to use it to receive Roger's 'Divine Avoidance'.
He saw that at the moment 'Divine Avoidance' got close like Lightning, his eyes changed from scarlet Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to a pair of purple Rinnegan.
"Shinra Tensei!!!"
The Fourth Stage Susanoo followed Madara Uchiha's movements and spread out its giant arms together...
[Roar!!!]
Gol D. Roger's 'Divine Avoidance' and Madara Uchiha's 'Shinra Tensei'.
At this moment.
In this Ninja World Pure Land Netherworld, they collided fiercely like two opposing Torrents between the two sides.
Roger was laughing loudly, and Madara's Corner of Mouth was also turning up!
The next instant.
Extremely dazzling White Light, along with an earth-shattering super Great Explosion, completely swallowed them...
Combat begins!
Thank you very much to Rotov Cocktail Master for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip to Stussy! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!

However, the Strength level of these individuals still belonged to the mid to low tier.
Because there was basically not a single Admiral Level Combat Power among them.
The most conspicuous among them were the former Roger Pirates Crewmates, and the group of High-Ranking Samurai from Wano Country back then.
The former were Massacred by Im personally during their lives, while the latter were completely Elimination by Kaido.
The Strength of these individuals was roughly between Admiral and Vice Admiral, with the weakest being at the Rear Admiral level.
And their opponents were the Village Shadows of successive generations of the Ninja World.
Such as Retsu, the First Tsuchikage, Ay, the First Raikage, Byakuren, the First Mizukage, Ishikawa, the First Tsuchikage, and so on.
In addition.

There are also some Powerhouses who can achieve World travel, either taking away people from Other Worlds, or dying themselves in the other party's World, and then their Souls are taken by the Netherworld of that World.
Besides this.
It also depends on whether that Netherworld has given birth to Self-awareness, or whether there is a Lord of the Underworld similar to Otsutsuki Hagoromo or King Yama.
If there is none, and the Netherworld is completely instinctively operating the Reincarnation Division, then there is no need to worry about being invaded.
Or furthermore, there is a Lord of the Underworld, but it is also possible that they are unwilling to go to Other Netherworlds.
After all, they are all Beings with Higher Intelligence, and it is not strange for them to have their own Considerations and choices.
In summary.
Whether it is travel between the Reality Universes or travel between Soul Realms, each has its own difficulties.
And the Star Map in Im's hands just happened to solve these difficulties.
Whether it is between the Reality Universes or between Soul Realms, he can travel very easily. The only problem is that each Star Gate is completely random...
"Uh ah ha ha ha ha~"
Roger heard Madara Uchiha boasting shamelessly, but he did not open his mouth to mock him. Instead, he greatly appreciated this kind of Confidence and fearlessness.
Because in his opinion, this was truly the proper demeanor for a Powerhouse.
"Then let's go!"
The next moment, the snow-white Blade of the Supreme Grade Sharp Sword in his hand, named 'Ace'.
Originally gleaming with Cold Light, it was dyed with a trace of pitch-black color the moment it was swung out.
Instantly.
An arc-shaped Blade Light flashing with cracking Black Lightning burst out with a Whistling Sound like a roaring tiger, sweeping out horizontally.
"Divine Avoidance!!"
At this moment.
Roger's Conqueror's Haki, incomparably domineering, turned into invisible raging waves.
Opposite.
Madara Uchiha felt the Strength of this Technique.
Immediately, a Blue Energy Giant wearing Karasu-Tengu Armor appeared out of thin air around his Body.
This was the Fourth Stage of Susanoo!
But he did not intend to use it to receive Roger's 'Divine Avoidance'.
He saw that at the moment 'Divine Avoidance' got close like Lightning, his eyes changed from scarlet Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to a pair of purple Rinnegan.
"Shinra Tensei!!!"
The Fourth Stage Susanoo followed Madara Uchiha's movements and spread out its giant arms together...
[Roar!!!]
Gol D. Roger's 'Divine Avoidance' and Madara Uchiha's 'Shinra Tensei'.
At this moment.
In this Ninja World Pure Land Netherworld, they collided fiercely like two opposing Torrents between the two sides.
Roger was laughing loudly, and Madara's Corner of Mouth was also turning up!
The next instant.
Extremely dazzling White Light, along with an earth-shattering super Great Explosion, completely swallowed them...
Combat begins!
