Vol 5 Chapter 118: Living Night Palace

phantom circle, phantom night palace

At this time, the visible area of ​​this huge palace group has been filled with lava, and if you look at it from a higher place, you can see that the entire area is actually divided from the middle.

The area where they were located was full of magma, while the other was frozen by severe cold, forming a magnificent ice crystal kingdom.

After the previous violent period, the world has almost been fixed. Although the height of the lava is still slowly rising, it has not poured out of the sky like before.

But if it goes on like this, it won't be long before this place will be completely filled with lava.

"Have you found any clues?"

On top of a small piece of solidified lava, there is a piece of earth-escape land with characteristics, Obito and Orochimaru are standing above, staring at the surroundings.

"There are space enchantments all around, and the enchantment above is about one kilometer or more, which means that even if we let Uchiha Fuyue fly with us, we will not be able to fly over this space."

After thinking about it, Obito said, "And I don't know if you feel it. Although the lava still exists, the high temperature it emits is not as unbearable as before, and it looks like it is gradually cooling. "

"The strange place is here." Orochimaru replied, "The lava is still rising, which means that they have not cut off the source. In this case, heat should not be lost."

"What's more, the area we are in is completely closed, and the heat cannot be lost, and it will only continue to circulate in this enchantment."

"Maybe this is the source of the anomaly in the area we are currently in." Although Obito was Xian'er when he was young, after a few years, he has grown a bit, and he has spent a long time behind the scenes. , He sees everything as a backhand, and thinks it is a conspiracy.

"Let's go back first."

Obito opened the gate of Shenwei space again, and when he went back, he naturally entered it.

Orochimaru nodded, letting Shenwei involve himself in it.

There are a large number of ninjas in it, including Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku, but they are all looking tired now.

People here have explored a lot of places, but they still haven't found anything unusual here.

"Anything to gain?"

Zilai also asked feebly, without any hope in his heart.

This place is so wicked.

"Not at all."

Orochimaru said with a blank face, and quickly thought again, "Remember what we discussed before, our chakra is accelerating the loss of this topic? In addition to the heat loss we obtained just now, at least we can get Make a guess."

"What guess?!"

Jiraiya's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with hope

"That is, we are not the only ones in this area." Orochimaru sneered, "Aizen Sosuke may have left behind a monitor, he is not only the source of our life and death, but also the source of power to maintain the lava, he absorbs our loss. chakra to feed back the growth of lava."

"Uh...why is this..."

"I'm not sure, but the power will not be lost for no reason. The energy is conserved. This area has been completely locked. Where does the excess chakra and the heat that quickly evaporate go? I have to think Someone other than us is secretly leading this."

"Maybe as long as we find it, we can find a way out."

"This is indeed a direction..."

Fuyue touched his chin and felt it made sense, and asked another question, "So if there is such a person, where would he hide? Lava has flooded the ground, and the only place he can stand is the high altitude, those empty places. It's not surprising that he can fly, but how did he hide from our sight?"

"Either he can survive in lava or extreme cold." Obito took two steps back and forth in the Kamui space, and suddenly interjected, "Judging from the fact that the heat is disappearing, I prefer that he is in the lava area."

"It's not impossible for the extremely cold area. After all, we only explored this side. The frozen one is too terrifying, and we can't step into it."

"Hehe, no matter what, as long as it is confirmed that there is an enemy." Jirai also said with a gloomy face, "As long as the enemy is not like the wriggling lava that has no specific attack target or is simply dead. Things will be fine, as long as they are alive and there are signs of life, sooner or later they will be exposed."

He feels that he may feel sick when he sees lava for a while in the future. At least he can't wait to get out of this area. Even if he has spent a lot of physical strength and chakra before, he may find out the hope after listening to the news. At the same time, he was full of energy!

"What I just said was just a guess." Orochimaru glanced at the old man and sighed, "You better not be impulsive, who knows what the other party will do. The more anxious you are, the slower you will be. Take it slow and take your time, otherwise no one knows what will happen next."

"How can I not be impulsive!" Zilai was also a little anxious. "The state of Tsunade is unknown, and it is very likely that he has been caught in Aizen's illusion. The life and death of Konoha's people are also uncertain, so how can I stay here at ease and slowly Investigate!"

His words made the ninja behind him a little silent. They were all elites in their respective villages. It would be a lie to say that they were not worried about what happened outside.

Is this Aizen's tactic to keep the tiger away from the mountain? He and those shattered Daxu should be attacking the ninja world. How is the battle situation, are there any dead people, and if there are dead people, who would it be...?

Layers of questions piled up in their hearts, and the ninjas were all worried.

"What are you talking about?" But Orochimaru just sneered and answered Jiraiya, "People outside are life, aren't our people here? Or do you think you only need to worry about the outside world? Jiraiya you It's better to be clear, now we are also at a critical moment of life and death, if something goes wrong because of one of your mistakes, then it doesn't matter if you die, but it has affected so many of us, can you afford it?!"

"..." Zilai was also silent, he glanced at Orochimaru, but in the end he didn't say anything, and then stepped back, looking not ready to refute Orochimaru.

"Okay, what you both said makes sense." Fuyue hurriedly made a round at this time. "Too impulsive may lead to bad consequences, but too cautious may also make us miss good opportunities. There is no right or wrong in this point. ."

Orochimaru nodded, seemingly agreeing with Fuyue's statement, and he said to Obito in a hoarse voice, "I have some new ideas after I understand, so take me out again."

Obito watched from the side, nodded silently after hearing the words of Orochimaru, and then brought Orochimaru to the foothold made by Tudun on the outside Xuye Palace.

"What are you going to do?"

Obito was a little curious, he couldn't guess what Orochimaru was thinking.

The latter glanced around, and after confirming that nothing could be seen with the naked eye, did he explain, "If there is such a person as I said before, he can absorb our chakra, then try to rely on this. Just see if you can spot him."

"Chakra?" Obito was stunned for a while. After he came back to his senses, he wanted to understand what Orochimaru was going to do, and said in surprise, "This is indeed a method, but do you have enough chakra left?"

(I have many backup energy sources...)

Orochimaru thought to himself, but on the surface he just nodded and didn't speak.

After he extracted the water-stopping cells, he cloned many cells that could also absorb natural energy as backup energy. The only concern he was doing was that he would not be able to maintain the ratio of chakra to natural energy and turn himself into a stone frog. In this case, it doesn't matter that much.

"Then I won't help. I'm responsible for watching. Once you are in danger, I will drag you back to my time and space as soon as possible."

Orochimaru nodded, then took out a handful of military ration pills, ate them all in one breath, and mobilized a lot of natural energy, he released this huge immortal chakra without reservation, the powerful chakra. Carat even caused ripples on the lava surface in the distance, and what was even more suppressed a lot!

He didn't use any ninjutsu, but pure burst of chakra like renzhuli. This is a wasteful behavior that consumes chakra and can't get any effective feedback, but only in this way can he be more easily See where these chakras end up!

——If you use ninjutsu, most of the chakra is actually used effectively, and only a little overflow is absorbed in the end.

With a large number of chakra leaks, Orochimaru boosted his energy, and sure enough, although a considerable part of the chakra that erupted dissipated, some still seemed to have turned into threads, pulled by some force. Infiltrated towards the bottom of the lava.

"Is it really under the lava? That is to say, that monster can survive under the high temperature of several thousand degrees?"

Obito also saw this scene, and immediately said with some horror

Living freely in a high temperature of several thousand degrees, I am afraid that even an undead creature like a tailed beast will have a hard time surviving.

"It's not necessarily the case. He may also have the ability to absorb heat, and it may not be thousands of degrees in the area where he is located."

Orochimaru added

Obito nodded, and agreed with this statement. When the lava was about to completely block their sight, he activated the ability of Shenwei's blurring again, "Would you like to come in first, I will use the blurring to take a look. "

A large amount of chakra erupted and the very weak Orochimaru nodded, and was wrapped in the space vortex again and entered the divine power space.

After only Obito was left, he let out a long sigh, then used the blur again to enter the lava,

Although he never thought how easy the task would be this time, he didn't expect things to become so complicated.

If it was a simple fight, he would just use the divine power to run away with these ninjas, but the fact that there is no enemy in front of him, or the enemy is hidden, really makes him feel tired.

(I don't know what happened to Lin...)

He couldn't help thinking, thinking of Lin from the outside world. If the information Lin gave was correct, Aizen should have attacked Konoha. What role would she play in it?

(Also, she said that I would be dangerous if I collect tailed beasts? What kind of danger would it be? Was it also sent by Aizen? If so, with so many arrangements, his power is too strong...)

In fact, it is of course dangerous for him to collect tailed beasts. After all, Madara Uchiha, who was with him, was already ready, just waiting for this moment.

If I saw Obito who also wanted to collect tailed beasts, I don't know what to do...

Although Madara had pinned some of his hopes on Obito before, but now he doesn't need Obito's power at all.

Especially when he also knew his dark history, Madara would likely kill Obito, and even if Obito had divine might, he would most likely not be able to escape.

After all, Madara had a spell on Obito's heart, so killing him couldn't be easier.

While thinking about it, he followed the chakra line and dived into the depths of the lava Looking at the burning flames, the crimson sea of ​​fire around him, he dived in fearfully, while recording the time in his heart.

There is a time limit for his incarnation, and he must prepare enough time to return to the safe area above, leaving a gap for him to materialize.

Although he doesn't know if he can survive the burns of the lava for a moment with his body after the fusion of wood escape cells...

"It's there?!"

Fortunately, before half of the blurring time had passed, he discovered that the Chakra threads had merged into a palace one after another.

This Xuye Palace is indeed the place where Aizen and his Broken Face Legion live. The quality of the building is really good, even in the lava, it has not been destroyed...

"Is the enemy in that palace..."

Obito said to himself, guessing that there was still plenty of time, so he quietly sneaked into the palace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it would be great if we could see what the enemy looked like.

He stood on the ground that once supported the palace complex, and approached the building in two steps.

It was a tall tower like a bell tower, and a huge clock was engraved on it. The two huge hands pointed to six o'clock, forming a vertical line, just like the pupil in a huge eye.

Obito touched the wall with one hand, and wanted to use the blur to enter the facade of the building to check the enemy's intelligence.

But just like this, disaster happened...

He only felt the shaking of the earth and the lava. He stared blankly at everything in front of him. In the end, he could no longer suppress the panic and horror. He couldn't help exclaiming.

"Xuye Palace... is it alive?!"
