An unprecedentedly loud explosion came from deep underground!
The ground of the entire battlefield undulated and cracked like waves!
A massive column of smoke, a mixture of rock dust and energy, shot into the sky from the crater, piercing straight into the clouds!
It was as if the gates to hell had been forcibly opened!
The attack... finally stopped.
Akai's figure slowly fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the edge of the giant crater.
The crimson steam around him thinned and dimmed, like embers about to be extinguished.
He could barely stand, but his physical condition was extremely poor.
Extensive muscle fibers throughout the body were torn, like ripped rags, and every breath brought excruciating pain.
The right arm bone was completely broken, held together only by twisted muscles and tough fascia.
It hung limply at her side, as if it might fall off completely at any moment.
His green bodysuit and Jonin vest had already been reduced to ashes in the superhuman speed and violent airflow.
The skin underneath was exposed, red and cracked, as if it had been burned.
Sweat and blood mixed together and dripped continuously from his body.
"Ha ha……"
Akai was breathing heavily, each breath like the strain of a broken bellows: "I didn't expect... just using Evening Elephant... to cause such a severe backlash..."
He looked down at his almost ruined right arm.
Looking again at the bottomless, still smoke-filled giant pit, a glimmer of hope filled my heart.
"But... thankfully... I can still stand... that guy... should..."
Before he could finish his thought, another unexpected event occurred!
From the bottom of the deep pit, amidst the thick smoke and dust, a white figure slowly rose up!
He floated back into the air!
At this moment, Ban looked quite disheveled.
The pristine white robes of the Six Paths Immortals were torn in several places, stained with dust and a trace of dark red blood!
A clear streak of blood hung from the corner of his mouth!
His face had lost its previous composure and appeared somewhat pale.
Although his aura was still immense, it was clearly showing signs of disorder.
He... is injured!
I was genuinely injured!
After activating Six Paths Mode, he was injured head-on by the power of a mortal for the first time!
However, he is still alive!
Not only is he alive, he can even fly!
Ban raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the bright red stain on his fingertip, Rinnegan ignited for the first time with a genuine mixture of surprise and excitement.
"To think... they could push me to this point..."
Madara became more and more excited as he spoke: "Eight Gates... Evening Elephant... Excellent!"
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the red figure swaying precariously at the edge of the pit.
"However, this level of attack is not enough to kill me, who has obtained the power of the Six Paths!"
In the distance, Lee, who had been closely watching the battle, saw Madara reappear and personally admit to being injured.
A surge of pride for the teacher welled up in my heart.
But then, seeing Ban's still energetic appearance, the warmth was instantly replaced by an even deeper chill.
He opened the Seven Gates, and knew all too well the insurmountable gap between the Seven Gates and the Eight Gates.
When Guy is in Eight Gates mode, his power and speed have completely surpassed the scope of "ninja".
The evening elephant's five consecutive attacks, each stronger than the last, possessed the terrifying power to easily destroy a ninja village!
Even so... even so!
They still couldn't kill the opponent?!
Six Paths Madara... Just how incredibly powerful was he?!
Guy stood at the edge of the pit, watching Madara Rokudo, who had risen again and whose fighting spirit was even stronger despite his injuries. The last bit of hope in his heart was completely extinguished.
The excruciating pain and the weakness brought on by the rapid loss of vitality surged up like an icy tide.
But he's not dead yet! He can still fight for his life!
"As expected... it's still not enough..."
He muttered to himself, "So... there's only one last move left..."
His gaze drifted to the higher sky, where dragon-shaped chakra seemed to be roaring faintly.
Chapter 507 The Red Dragon That Illuminates the Night Sky!
At the edge of the deep pit, the figure burning with dim red steam had made its final decision.
Even the Evening Elephant, powerful enough to alter terrain and tear the earth apart, could not completely destroy Rokudo Madara.
So, there's only one road left.
Bet everything, and unleash this final, and most intense, flame of life!
"Teacher Kai!!"
Xiao Li could no longer suppress his grief, and tears streamed down his face like a burst dam.
He looked at his teacher's almost broken yet still upright figure, at the tragic state of his right arm hanging limply and his body covered in cracks, and his heart ached.
For him, Akai was more than just a teacher who imparted martial arts skills.
He was like a father to me!
It was the spiritual pillar that led him out of his confusion and made him believe that "hard work can surpass genius"!
However, just as tears blurred his vision, Xiao Li suddenly wiped his eyes hard with the back of his hand, forcibly suppressing all his weakness and sorrow!
Now is not the time to cry!
This is the moment when Teacher Kai is burning his ninja way and his youth to its most glorious and brilliant point!
To weep is the greatest insult to this resolve and heroic sacrifice!
He straightened his chest, and with all his might, let out a heart-wrenching yet incredibly proud shout towards that red-clad figure:
"Go! Teacher Kai!! Let that bastard see the true power of Konoha's Crimson Beast!!!"
Ah Kai, standing by the pit, did not turn back.
Because at this moment he was unable to make any big movements, every muscle in his body was screaming in agony, and he could even feel his life slipping away.
But he heard it, he heard his disciple's tearful yet unwavering cry.
All he could do was, with difficulty but with unwavering determination, turn towards Xiao Li behind him.
He slowly raised his only remaining, still intact left arm toward all his Allied comrades who were watching him.
Thumb up firmly and straight!
A silent farewell and promise, more powerful than a thousand words.
Youth, never regret!
The next moment, Guy poured all his last bit of chakra into the tank without reservation!
He suddenly lowered his body, almost crawling on the ground, assuming a starting stance like a beast pouncing on its prey!
"product!!!"
Even more ferocious and terrifying than during the Evening Elephant event, red chakra mixed with blood-red steam surged wildly from Guy's shattered body!
This time, it was no longer a simple steam burst; the immense energy twisted, condensed, and shaped in the air!
In the distance, it seemed to form the phantom of a ferocious, roaring, crimson dragon looking up to the sky!
The air on the entire battlefield seemed to have been sucked out, and the heavy pressure made everyone feel suffocated.
What that crimson dragon phantom brought was the pinnacle of physical power, pure to the extreme!
It is the ultimate challenge that mortals have launched against the gods!
Faced with this overwhelming aura of death, which seemed capable of crushing even the soul.
Instead of showing the slightest fear, Madara Rokudo's Rinnegan eyes blazed with an almost manic excitement!
He sensed it; this power had truly reached his level!
"Come on! Come on!! Might Guy!!"
Ban opened his arms as if to embrace the destructive impact, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Use your whole life to please me!"
"Uhhhh!!!"
Akai let out his final roar, a roar that embodied all his will and life! He moved!
No, it's not moving!
He transformed into a crimson meteor that pierced through the heavens and earth!
It was that ferocious, blood-red dragon that bared its fangs and let out a world-destroying roar!
"boom--!!!!!"
Wherever Akai went, space seemed to be violently twisted and torn apart by an invisible hand!
