Susanoo's massive body moved with agility and quick reactions, showing no inconvenience in movement due to its size. Instead, it was orderly, its long katana instantly unleashing a powerful shockwave.
Whoosh!!!
A gigantic white radiance burst forth from Susanoo's long katana. The endless sharp edge cleaved through heaven and earth, surging directly upwards. Everything it touched in its narrow slash was instantly annihilated. A piercing, whistling sound tore through the sky, rushing majestically towards Shukaku. Before the slash even arrived, Shukaku already felt a sharp, piercing force!
"Does Susanoo have such a technique?" While secretly astonished, Shukaku looked at Wuchen's golden Susanoo, puzzled. Sensing the terrifying sharpness of the slash, it unhesitatingly gathered dense chakra to block it.
Boom!!!
In the nick of time, Shukaku's defense managed to block Susanoo's slash, but it was still affected by the exploding shockwave. The destructive force of the shockwave was unstoppable, and the intense repulsive force easily flung Shukaku, who was in the sky, away. Losing its support, Shukaku's massive body tumbled several times in the air, then landed in a dog-eating-shit posture, its head deeply embedded in the ground.
"He didn't give me any face at all!" Shukaku, who had taken half an hour to pull its head out, was so enraged it felt like spitting blood. Turning its head, its tanuki eyes glared at Wuchen, its killing intent boiling and bone-chilling. Just then, a sharp pain spread throughout its entire body, accompanied by a burnt smell. Shukaku instinctively froze, its body trembling uncontrollably. Its gaze followed the pain, and its cat face instantly turned green.
"My tail... You actually burned off my tail?" A furious voice, laced with shock and uncertainty, escaped Shukaku. It stared blankly at its half-burnt tail, veins bulging on its cat head. Its massive body trembled with anger, and its eyes instantly turned blood-red. The boundless killing intent lowered the surrounding temperature to freezing point!
"My ability is light, so Susanoo can naturally manifest it." Wuchen looked at Shukaku, who was gritting its teeth, expressionlessly. Clearly, the tanuki's rationality had been consumed by rage. The corner of his mouth curved into a subtle, successful smirk. To make it perish, first make it mad. In its current state, Shukaku had clearly gone berserk.
"Do you know what light is? I suppose you can't even comprehend it. The combination of Susanoo and light will surpass any Susanoo in history!"
"It's just a mere perfected Susanoo, yet it dares to boast so shamelessly, unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth." Shukaku roared disdainfully. Although Wuchen's perfected Susanoo was bizarrely large, twice the size of a normal perfected Susanoo, compared to a Perfect Susanoo, it was a world apart. So, in Shukaku's eyes, Wuchen's previous words were merely grandstanding.
Seeing this, Wuchen did not explain, but merely smiled eerily.
"What does he want to do?" As the saying goes, value the enemy in tactics, but despise them strategically. Shukaku naturally understood this simple truth, but in its heart, it attached great importance to Wuchen's earlier words. A powerful individual at Wuchen's level had no need to speak idly. Every word he spoke, every action he took, truly represented his decisions. There was no need for pretense.
"Don't be so serious and reserved. You'll soon understand what I mean." Looking at Shukaku, whose face was full of caution, Wuchen's smile grew even more bizarre, appearing somewhat profound. Combined with his handsome young face, it was especially demonic.
"Huh, the katana is gone?" The light katana in Susanoo's hand shimmered, then the long, ancient katana lost its texture and disappeared. Susanoo's katana was currently the only offensive weapon of Wuchen's Susanoo. Seeing this strange sight, the One-Tail's heart grew even more puzzled. Shukaku would not believe Wuchen was preparing to flee. At the same time, a faint golden light simultaneously emanated from Wuchen's body within Susanoo, his body also transforming into light. His facial contours were enveloped by light, showing signs of scattering. Susanoo likewise did the same!
"What is this guy trying to do?" Shukaku stared blankly at Susanoo, which had transformed into light. Due to the blinding glare, it had to cover its eyes with its hands, only able to discern Wuchen's movements through tiny gaps between its fingers. Its heart was filled with various anxieties, though Shukaku didn't understand the specific cause. This abnormal irritation felt like encountering a natural enemy, making it extremely agitated and annoyed.
Boom boom boom!!!
The light from Susanoo's body grew even denser, like a miniature sun, impossible to look at directly!!! After a moment, a thick beam of light suddenly erupted upwards from Susanoo, shooting into the sky, and then its gigantic body vanished! Susanoo was seen soaring into the heavens!
"Fall down and die, you little brat!" Shukaku cursed viciously, looking at the huge golden radiance(charging into the sky). Its mouth felt as if it had swallowed a fly, and it involuntarily felt nauseous. This strange sensation was far more unpleasant than being beaten senseless by Wuchen. Since ancient times, whether human, Tailed Beast, or other living beings, their feelings towards the sky have been similar: reverence and fear coexisting. In the eyes of all living beings, the sky was perceived uniformly as the realm of gods. Only legendary deities could stand in the long sky, looking down on all creation. Just like the legendary Sage of Six Paths, even if not a god, he was deified... Of course, the old man Onoki was an exception.
"Fall down, why don't you fall down?!" Shukaku looked eagerly at the giant Susanoo suspended in the void, feeling exceptionally exasperated and minuscule. In its heart, only a powerhouse like the Sage of Six Paths could stand in mid-air. So Shukaku's eyes were filled with yearning—yearning for Wuchen to fall quickly, preferably head-first into the ground like it did earlier. But after a few breaths, Shukaku's cat face instantly collapsed, an expression of constipation. It roared towards the sky. "Damn it, he's not falling down!!!"
