Chapter 131: Lava Release: Flower-Fruit Mountain
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The massive Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals hovered high in the sky, trembling incessantly.
The interior was almost completely filled with densely packed ice spikes.
Konan's figure was displayed on every single one of the twenty-meter-tall ice mirrors. Her true body, however, was located within a mirror directly above, looking down at the quivering spikes below.
Alex floated beside her, observing the situation with a grave expression.
They weren't sure how effective that point-blank Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation had been.
Judging by the current situation, a total wipeout was impossible, but the Jinchuriki Paths of Pain had definitely taken damage.
The two of them couldn't just sit back and watch Obito struggle free.
Immediately controlling every mirror, they unleashed visible streams of white freezing air.
In Sage Mode, the potency of her Ice Release was amplified to terrifying levels.
Wherever the white mist passed, it seemed to freeze the very void itself.
The temperature plummeted. The bone-chilling frost penetrated through layers of ice spikes, invading the core.
The entire Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals structure visibly transformed into a gigantic sphere of ice.
.....
A hundred meters below the ice spikes.
Under the bombardment of Tailed Beast Bombs from the Three-Tails, Four-Tails, and Six-Tails, the hollow space inside was growing larger and larger.
The surroundings were littered with shattered ice debris.
One eye on each of the beasts remained in the pattern of the Rinnegan.
Under Obito Uchiha's control, the three semi-transformed Jinchuriki deliberately adjusted their excavation direction toward his location.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another volley of three Tailed Beast Bombs exploded.
The resulting high temperature and shockwaves shattered the ice spikes to the upper right.
Obito's figure landed next to the three miniature Tailed Beasts with a whoosh.
His expression was terrifyingly gloomy, his gaze ferocious as he looked at the ice spikes that crowded almost every inch of the surrounding space.
"Damn Sage Mode!"
Only by personally engaging it in combat could one truly understand the power and terror of this mode.
The amplification it provided to conventional Ninjutsu was simply perverse.
It required significantly more Ninjutsu and chakra just to offset a single Sage Art from that traitor.
"Hm?"
Obito raised his right hand, only to see a layer of visible frost appearing on his skin.
It was spreading rapidly.
An extremely intense wave of cold air was projecting down from above. The chill his body perceived was becoming increasingly penetrating, and his limbs began to stiffen.
"Trying to freeze me to death?"
Obito's killing intent exploded.
The battle hadn't been going on for long, yet he had almost no power to fight back and was being suppressed.
He absolutely could not accept such a situation.
Possessing the invincible Rinnegan, how could he possibly freeze to death here?!
Just then, a sudden mutation occurred.
From every ice wall in the hollow space, including the floor and ceiling, ice dragons, flexible ice spikes, and various ferocious animals made entirely of ice rapidly extended outward.
The effect of Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation was still active!
It automatically launched indiscriminate attacks on any living thing inside.
The three miniature Tailed Beasts immediately circled Obito to protect him, mouths facing outward as they fired Tailed Beast Bomb after Tailed Beast Bomb.
The explosions were continuous, blasting apart the incoming ice creations.
"We can't stay here. We must leave."
Obito exhaled large clouds of white breath; his body was getting stiffer by the second.
The temperature inside the hollow was still dropping. If he stayed any longer, he would literally freeze to death.
Activating Kamui to transport himself took time.
The continuous attacks from all sides obviously wouldn't give him that opening.
As for having the three Jinchuriki Paths cover him while he abandoned them... he hadn't reached that level of desperation yet.
He abruptly took control of the Four-Tails. "Hmph! No matter how powerful your Sage Art is, can your chakra possibly exceed a Tailed Beast's?"
If he couldn't match the quality, he would make up for it with quantity!
He would use a super-heavyweight amount of Tailed Beast chakra to violently destroy this Sage Art!
Obito leaped onto the back of the Four-Tails, and the other two Tailed Beasts jumped up simultaneously.
The Four-Tails' four tails suddenly elongated and thickened, curling upward to wrap them tightly in a protective cocoon.
Its purplish-red claws slammed violently onto the ice.
Obito's cold shout echoed from within the tails: "Let me show you Son Goku's Flower-Fruit Mountain!"
"Lava Release: Flower-Fruit Mountain!!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A massive amount of Tailed Beast chakra erupted.
Fiery red magma surged wildly from its palms, pouring out endlessly.
In an instant, it formed a sea of magma, submerging the entire hollow space.
As the Four-Tails, capable of bathing in magma, it had absolutely no fear of the terrifying heat.
Obito and the other two miniature Tailed Beasts, protected by its tails, were safe for the moment.
The searing heat collided violently with the surrounding ice walls.
Massive amounts of steam rose, dissipating the cold air as the temperature spiked dramatically.
The volume of the hollow space expanded rapidly, and the magma sea swelled in sync, fed by the ample Tailed Beast chakra.
Suddenly, the entire sea of magma went abruptly still.
Inside the four tails, Obito shouted coldly: "Scorching River Great Eruption!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next instant, it was like a massive active volcano erupting.
The entire sea of magma churned madly. Pillars of fiery red rock, topped with massive volcanic stones, sprayed out in all directions.
The entire interior had completely transformed into a terrifying volcano.
Smoke billowed, everything turned red, and the eruptions were ceaseless.
Pressure and temperature soared at extreme speeds.
.....
Outside.
The entire Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals structure had frozen into a giant ice sphere.
It hovered steadily in the high altitude, emitting waves of cold air.
Konan's pupils suddenly contracted.
The massive ice sphere below shook violently, jetting out large amounts of white steam from its surface.
But that wasn't cold air.
It was steam produced by rapid melting due to high temperatures.
Crack!
The clear sound of shattering glass rang out.
It was followed by an even denser series of cracks, continuous and unstopping.
More and more fissures appeared on the surface of the ice sphere.
An even greater volume of white steam surged out from within.
The chill was driven away, replaced by rapidly rising heat.
Through the massive cracks, a churning redness could be seen deep within the ice sphere.
Red light even projected out from the fissures, illuminating the outer ice mirrors.
Above, Konan's face in the ice mirror was illuminated in a fiery red glow.
Alex looked down at the ice sphere, which now resembled a pressure cooker spewing massive amounts of steam, and knew it could no longer contain Obito.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, streams of fiery magma shot out from every crack in the ice sphere.
Up, down, left, right, front, back—shooting out 360 degrees with almost no blind spots, looking just like a sea urchin.
The airborne magma fell back down, smashing onto the surface of the ice sphere, further accelerating its melting speed.
In the span of a few breaths, the entire white ice sphere was completely wrapped in magma, resembling a blazing red sun.
Waves of heat sprayed forth continuously.
The barrier formed by the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals tottered on the brink of collapse; it was impossible to maintain any longer.
The "Sun" expanded rapidly in volume, and then, with a loud BOOM, it exploded.
It turned into a sea of magma that blotted out the sky, swallowing all the outer ice mirrors.
At this point.
The Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals barrier was violently destroyed by the magma sea created by the Four-Tails.
High in the sky.
The magma sea formed a fiery red waterfall, cascading down.
It smashed into the river below, instantly causing the water to bubble violently and evaporate into massive clouds of steam.
Konan hovered in mid-air, not far from the fiery waterfall.
Suddenly, a crimson figure shot out from within it.
