Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 185 ---

"This is...?" Uchiha Madara frowned slightly.

Uchiha Madara had seen a lot of bizarre things throughout his life, from war to tailed beasts, but a gigantic white handkerchief in front of him was definitely new for him.

Yunlong's seventh spirit ring shone brightly with crimson light, and the nature around them seemed to flow its strength to him, which shocked everyone because they can somewhat feel it.

"Nature's Might."

Yunlong felt his entire body brimming with immense strength and vigor, and not only that, but he also could feel his domain expanding more and more.

The entire nature supported his spirit and enhanced all his spirit skills to their limits, which caused him to smirk inside because he never tried the seventh spirit ring before.

Yunlong breathed naturally and silently commanded, "Scatters..."

Yunlong's true martial soul abruptly was fragmented into millions of pieces, which had shaped like flower petals.

White petals danced harmoniously with a breeze and washed over the dusky night, covering the entire skies with a beautiful pure white view.

"Unusual." Uchiha Madara quietly commented, "No... It's actually quite a wonderful sight."

He gradually lowered his gaze to Yunlong and continued, "Who are you actually? What's your limit, and what's this jutsu?"

Yunlong suddenly raised his hand and pointed his finger at Madara. "First Sword." He commanded.

A portion of white petals instantly gathered behind Yunlong and formed

Yunlong added Material Reinforcement onto his sword and indifferently declared, "Pierce."

CLANK! BANG!

Uchiha Madara instinctively raised his sage staff and abruptly felt such a heavy force swept over him, which was the giant white sword that appeared in a flash.

'I didn't even have time to blink my eyes.' Uchiha Madara looked at his trembled hand with a startled expression.

He couldn't believe what he just experienced, but Yunlong's indifferent voice immediately woke him up.

"Cut." Yunlong's voice reverberated through the battlefield and what they could see was a white flash.

Uchiha Madara lifted his entire body and used his Rinnegan to their perfect uses, witnessing a giant sword flying like a boomerang and slicing his truth-seeking orbs in half.

"What actually happened?" Uchiha Madara couldn't believe that attack escaped his eyes because his eyes are literally god eyes.

There is nothing special about Yunlong's sword at a glance, but that doesn't mean such a thing could travel at such incredible speed.

Even Uchiha Madara's Gale of Fang didn't arrive spontaneously like that.

As Madara thought deeply about the ridiculous sword, Yunlong suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Second Sword."

Another batch of white petals flew toward Yunlong and quickly reformed into another giant white sword that floated beside him.

Yunlong didn't even take a glance at Madara and commended, "Thrust."

Uchiha Madara immediately created a dome from the truth-seeking orbs around him and expanded it as vast as he could.

He quickly launched other truth-seeking orbs at Yunlong, but some white petals surrounded him like a fly.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

"I couldn't even touch him... How inconvenient." Uchiha Madara clicked his tongue.

He intently looked at Yunlong and used his Limbo, which created three shadows that flew swiftly at Yunlong.

"Dance," Yunlong calmly commanded and the petals around him swirling like a tornado, which repelled Madara's shadow away.

Uchiha Madara was about to use a jutsu, but Yunlong suddenly appeared behind him with a giant sword in his hand.

"Tch." Uchiha Madara stacked truth-seeking orbs and firmly parried Yunlong's attack.

Clank!

Yunlong released his sword and kicked Madara's stomach, which launched him straight into the ground again.

Everyone on the battlefield couldn't react to what happened before their eyes and looked at the fight with wide opened mouths.

Not only that, they couldn't even accurately see what occurred until Madara got launched to the ground because it was just too fast.

A few veterans like Rasa and Fugaku even have a hard time keeping their focus.

"Pierce..." Yunlong's voice echoed. "Silence."

One sword fell down straight toward Madara.

BOOM!

After that, another ten swords fell, followed by one hundred swords, until they reached ten thousand swords, which is a ridiculous scene to see because the swords basically were stacked above each other.

The silence occurred on the battlefield, and Hashirama looked at Yunlong with a solemn expression because this man's strength was even more powerful compared to him.

"Our league is just different..." Shikamaru silently muttered with trembled hands.

"Haha..."

"HAHAHAHA.....!"

Uchiha Madara's laugh came out of the ground, but weirdly it sounded so exciting.

Even though his situation couldn't be said as good, he couldn't help but laugh at this situation because it's been a long time since he felt this excited.

Cracks! Boom!

Uchiha Madara's Susanoo burst out of the grounds, and he had a smile on his face.

"I'll acknowledge that power of yours!" Uchiha Madara shouted while performing a hand seal.

"Of all those who fought me over the years, there is no one who surpassed you at using Sword."

"I, Madara, Declare you as the strongest sword user."

"...Nail." Yunlong indifferently responded.

A giant white pillar-like spike suddenly fell from the skies, and Uchiha Madara's Susanoo raised its sword to cut it.

Crack!

The sword broke upon contact, and the spike quickly pierced Madara's Susanoo like they were nothing.

"When you have a nail..." Yunlong suddenly appeared above the spike with a clear sky hammer in his hand.

"You HAMMERED IT."

Yunlong clenched his muscle and swung the hammer as heavily as he could.

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

The shockwave washed through the battlefield and even traveled for several kilometers more, which also launched everyone who was too weak to withstand it.

Cough!

Uchiha Madara's Susanoo instantly was destroyed by the sheer might of Yunlong's attack, and he coughed blood because the impact literally crushed his body.

"How..." Uchiha Madara lay on the ground with a disbelief look on his face.

"I was supposed to be a new god."

Yunlong didn't say anything and quietly stood in front of Madara with a stoic expression because this was awkwardly familiar for him.

"How could you have so much power, but you're only human... Aren't you just a human-like me before?" Uchiha Madara asked with a complicated expression.

"Madara... Even until now, you didn't realize that you're a mere tool." Yunlong casually commented, which widened Madara's eyes.

"W-What did you mean...?" Uchiha Madara asked with a confused tone.

Stab.

A black goo stabbed Madara's stomach from the ground, and He had a shocked expression on his face.

"Oh my, Sorry. I accidentally stabbed you by accident. Madara-sama." Black Zetsu appeared from the ground.

"B-Black Zetsu, what is the meaning of this... Are you betraying me?!" Uchiha Madara desperately tried to fight back, but Black Zetsu had planted a portion of his body inside of him, which locked not only his body control but also his chakra flow.

Even when he was in his ten tails' jinchuriki form, Madara was nothing compared to a baby in this situation.

"Hehe... To think, you'd really appear and keep your promise." Black Zetsu laughed while looking at Yunlong, who had a cold expression on his face.

"...Just resurrect her already." Yunlong indifferently responded, which caused Black Zetsu to laugh even more.

Black Zetsu approached Madara and quickly took control of his body. He then floated to the skies and looked at the red moon with an excited expression.

"Ah... Mother, I finally could resurrect you back." Black Zetsu ripped off Madara's horn and showed a newly awakened Rinne-Sharingan on his forehead.

"Yunlong..." Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared behind Yunlong and asked, "Are you betraying us?"

"Itachi." Yunlong closed his eyes. "You're wrong... To begin with, I'm not your ally. I only help you guys because I want to achieve my goals."

Uchiha Itachi frowned solemnly, and when he was about to ask what Yunlong's goal was, Black Zetsu suddenly activated Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

.

.

The red moon instantly was plastered with a Rinne-Sharingan pattern, and world-scale genjutsu was activated.

Everyone raised their gazes instinctively and was mesmerized by the scenery, not realizing they slowly were drawn into the illusion world.

BOOM!

Several giant plants burst out of the ground and covered everyone in mummy-like style, which shocked Edo Tensei in the area because they didn't know what actually happened.

Minato tried to sever a few people from the plant's bound, but it was futile because another plant bound them again.

The chakra from the whole world moved toward Black Zetsu, and an unknown chill suddenly attacked everyone, who was still unconscious.

"Mother...!" Black Zetsu frantically shouted.

Uchiha Madara's body abruptly bloated like a balloon, which affects the overload chakra, and his hair quickly becomes longer.

Black Zetsu cast upon his mother's will, and Uchiha Madara quickly molded into a pale-skinned woman in a white robe.

"This is... The world." A distant yet cold feminine voice echoed.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki." Yunlong calmly called while looking at the floating woman.

Kaguya slowly moved her gaze to Yunlong and looked at him with a somewhat startled yet serene expression.

"H-How..." Kaguya muttered. "Tenji should have died and become one with me."

"How could his soul appear here?"

Yunlong frowned and looked at Kaguya with a confused expression because he heard that name once through this world's history.

"Tenji... My husband."
