Extremely terrifying energy spread to the surroundings in a form that could even be measured with the naked eye. Even Saitama, upon sensing this power, slightly raised his eyebrows.
"Hahahaha—" Madara's laughter began from a low grin, gradually grew louder, and finally transformed into wild frenzied laughter.
That laughter sound crept to every corner of the battlefield, drawing everyone's attention completely.
"Is this the power of Rikudo Sennin (Six Paths Sage)..." Madara felt tremendous power he had never experienced before in his body.
His self-confidence swelled to an extreme point. This power was something he had never felt, even far surpassing his peak period before.
Although the Juubi hadn't completely gathered all the Bijuu, thanks to the Golden List's support, its power not only returned to its peak, but actually surpassed it. All that power was now fully radiating from him.
Onoki stared at Madara with a heavy expression. He turned and said: "We must leave now."
Killer Bee instantly became angry: "Why must we leave? I haven't avenged Brother yet!"
Mei furrowed her brows: "This Uchiha Madara has absorbed the Juubi's power. His current strength makes anyone tremble. We... are not his match."
Although she had merged with a Bijuu and obtained the inheritance from Rank One of the Golden List, her fusion process wasn't truly perfect yet. Even if it was already perfect, she realized she still wouldn't be Madara's match currently.
Tobirama's face also became very ugly: "Uchiha Madara has become far stronger. This power even surpasses Brother (Hashirama). Jiraiya, Kakashi, take Naruto and the others to retreat first!"
He didn't dare to bet. Madara's current state was very strange. Konoha's young generation was in great danger on this battlefield. Once they were caught, it would be a crushing blow to Konoha.
Where leaves dance, fire will continue to burn!
Currently, the old generation Kage-level fighters had already reached their maximum limits. To become stronger, they had to rely on young people like Naruto who had made it onto the Hidden Expert List.

The One Piece side also stopped their movements momentarily, turning in unison toward Madara.
"Gura-ra-ra-ra-ra! Very admirable power!" Shirohige showed a shocked expression, but even so, he didn't show the slightest bit of fear. On the contrary, he laughed broadly: "Truly someone I chose, you have the qualifications to become my son!"
Everyone felt dizzy hearing it.
In a situation like this, please don't think about adopting children first, okay?!
Kizaru hesitantly asked: "Should we retreat?"
Currently, the One Piece side had seized two Bijuu. Amid battles between many factions, that result was already quite good. Plus Killer Bee's Hachibi and the Shichibi taken away by Gin, the number of Bijuu among the three sides currently counted as quite balanced. Two tails were already enough.
Moreover, their main goal was to obtain the inheritance from Rank 1 of the Golden List; actually one tail was already enough. They were just worried if there was only one Bijuu, the inheritance wouldn't be complete, so for safety they seized two tails. Besides, the Bijuu themselves were very strong; if they could be made partners, it was a good choice.
However in the current situation, Madara's transformation made the course of battle very strange. If they didn't leave soon, no one knew what other changes would occur.
However, the majority of people who had become strong fighters had a great hunger for power and a desire to compete with the strongest. Except for a handful of people who had to think about long-term strategy, most people's gazes toward Madara were actually very fiery.
Especially Saitama, his eyes sparkled brightly. He could sense that the current Madara was far stronger than the previous Imu.
Coincidentally, Madara also turned toward him. After absorbing the Juubi, his self-confidence exploded tremendously. He felt he was now an existence at God level.
Rank Three, Rank One—before power like this, he would trample them all under his feet!
Madara spread both his hands, looking in all directions, and laughed crazily: "Now I can no longer be stopped! I give you ten counts, hand over all the Bijuu, and I will spare your lives for now!"
He still wanted to gather the Bijuu again. With his current power already this great, if he reabsorbed Kyuubi and became a perfect Juubi, what stage would he develop to? Just thinking about it already made him very excited.
"Go!" Sensing evil intent from Madara, those who had obtained Bijuu changed their expressions and immediately turned to flee.
Especially the Konoha side; Jiraiya directly gripped Naruto and used Shunshin no Jutsu to shoot away, followed by the others as protectors.
"Want to run?!" Madara snorted coldly. He swung his Rikudo staff, and purple lightning that branched like tree twigs shot crazily toward the crowd.
"Senpo: Inton Raiha (Sage Art: Yin Release – Lightning Dispatch)!"
This was the Six Paths Senjutsu that Madara could use after absorbing the Juubi.
Only those who mastered Rikudo power could use it. Its energy overflowed with terrifying destructive power.
Purple lightning twisted wildly, making heaven and earth seem to turn into a purple world.
Screams of pain kept being heard. Some people with low power were completely unable to withstand this Rikudo Sennin power, some even directly disintegrated into dust.
"Gamaguchi Shibari (Toad Mouth Binding Technique)!" Jiraiya turned around, his eye pupils contracted. He immediately formed hand seals; a giant prison appeared wrapping them.
That purple lightning instantly penetrated that prison, but its power was reduced by more than half so it was successfully withstood by the group's cooperation.
Jiraiya's face looked heavy, he didn't expect Madara to become this strong. Both were Senjutsu, but why was the power difference so vast?
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, purple lightning also raged toward the One Piece side. Kizaru and Aokiji tried to change their bodies into natural elements to dodge, but they found this purple lightning seemed to have power to suppress Logia-type devil fruits, similar to Busoshoku Haki, and directly struck their original bodies.
Kizaru groaned restrainedly, his body was thrown far while vomiting fresh blood with a shocked expression.
Aokiji wasn't much better, he smiled bitterly. "In these three worlds, besides seawater, sea stone, and Haki, now there's one more power that can suppress natural element ability users."
They remembered when they first came to Konoha Village and met Jiraiya. At that time Jiraiya's power was similar to this purple lightning, but there was a big difference; this purple lightning was clearly far stronger.
"Senpo: Ranton Koga (Sage Art: Storm Release – Light Fang)!" Madara didn't give them any chance to breathe at all.
He spewed laser beams from his mouth that attacked toward the crowd. This Ranton Koga had insanely extraordinary penetrating power.
A beam of laser struck the ground and penetrated it soundlessly, until the bottom was invisible, unknown how deep.
"Extraordinary! Truly amazing!"
Suddenly, a shadow figure appeared right before Madara. His head was smoothly bald without a single hair. With one palm push, he actually struck back several of those Ranton Koga beams.
That Ranton Koga which had very strong penetrating power wasn't even able to injure that person's palm.
Madara's eye pupils contracted: "Saitama!"
