When he saw the supreme-grade divine fruit beginning to form, both out of idleness and cautiousness, Ryun took advantage of the waiting time to cover the entire divine tree with an anti-sensing sealing formula after all.
Through the memories of Kaguya and Isshiki, Ryun knew that the Otsutsuki Clan had many capable individuals. It was not impossible for the supreme-grade divine fruit to be sensed as soon as it appeared, so he did not dare to be too careless.
"Looking at this situation, it will probably be fully ripe in about a day..." Ryun planned to stay here and wait for the divine fruit to completely turn red.
During the transformation process of the supreme-grade fruit, the divine tree also began to frantically absorb the energy of the entire alternate dimension. Its roots excessively absorbed nutrients from the soil, turning this land into a barren, rocky wasteland. In just a little over half a day, the entire alternate dimension began to gradually collapse and crumble.
Since this was not the main world, Ryun did not feel distressed about the divine tree destroying this space.
Not only was he not distressed, he was worried that the divine tree did not have enough nutrients. Therefore, he actively used Kamui to open a spatial channel, and then manipulated the divine tree to extend its roots into the spatial channel.
The other end of the spatial vortex was Kaguya Otsutsuki's core dimension, which was connected to several other alternate dimensions. Ryun allowed the divine tree to drain the energy of those alternate dimensions. After all, they were not his own, and keeping them seemed not very useful...
He himself had the Kamui dimension, so naturally he did not care for Kaguya's alternate dimensions.
The alternate dimension where the small Ten-Tails was cultivated ultimately completely shattered due to energy depletion. Consequently, Ryun and the divine tree appeared in outer space.
Facing the vacuum environment of space, the divine tree did not show any signs of discomfort. Its main body took root on a large rock mass barely held together, while all its roots spread into the spatial channel, successfully reaching the core dimension.
The unreasonable devouring and absorption continued. The already dilapidated core dimension was soon sucked dry, turning into rubble and ruins. Ryun entered the core dimension and began constructing spatial channels again, then guided the divine tree's roots to the ice dimension.
The eternal ice rapidly melted and vanished under the wanton absorption of the divine tree's roots, and the vast water resources were completely drained as well.
After destroying the ice dimension, Ryun turned his attention to the other dimensions. The divine tree's roots ignored the gravity of the gravity dimension, the acidic waters of the acid dimension, and the magma of the magma dimension. The wildly spreading roots plunged deep into the earth, directly extracting the planetary cores that maintained the internal structures of these worlds, fundamentally seizing the source energy that sustained their operation.
"Truly worthy of being called a demon tree… I underestimated your capabilities…"
Ryun's eyes were filled with wariness. The divine tree's frenzied posture of devouring everything made him feel genuine fear.
If the divine tree had been placed in the main world to nurture the supreme-grade divine fruit, the main world might already have been drained of all energy, completely reduced to a dead, annihilated land.
Watching one small world after another collapse into rubble and dust before his eyes, Ryun could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
"If this keeps going, I really can't afford to keep you…"
At this point, only the desert dimension among Kaguya Otsutsuki's alternate dimensions remained, and even this space looked on the verge of destruction. Ryun had nothing left to feed it.
It was impossible for him to use the resources of the main world or those within the Kamui dimension to nurture the tree. After all, no one knew how large the divine tree's appetite truly was.
Fortunately, Ryun's worries proved somewhat unnecessary. After a frenzied round of energy absorption, even before the desert world shattered, the divine tree had already stopped.
"The energy is no longer being supplied to the fruit…"
Realizing this, Ryun understood that the fruit was most likely mature.
With a spatial teleport, he arrived at the treetop, where he immediately saw a large crimson eyeball.
"It looks exactly like the Ten-Tails' eye…"
After circling the divine fruit once, Ryun could not help but exclaim in amazement.
The fruit emitted waves of a peculiar fragrance. Ryun already felt an instinctive urge to devour it rise within his heart.
"This thing is so big… how am I supposed to eat it…"
As he thought this, Ryun's hand involuntarily reached out and gently pushed the fruit, intending to pick it.
With just a slight application of force, the entire eyeball-shaped fruit instantly made a soft "pop" sound and detached from the tree. Then, under Ryun's astonished gaze, it transformed into a cherry-sized red eyeball.
In his previous life, while watching the anime, the chakra fruit in Kaguya Otsutsuki's hand had only been cherry-sized. At the time, he had complained that such a massive divine tree produced a fruit that could be swallowed in one bite. He never expected to witness it himself—divine tree fruits could actually change size autonomously.
At first glance, this thing reminded Ryun of the Sharingan. His desire to devour it instantly diminished by more than half.
"You're not a Sharingan. You are… power."
After this bit of self-hypnosis, Ryun immediately opened his mouth, placed the supreme-grade divine fruit inside, and decisively swallowed it.
The moment the supreme-grade divine fruit entered his stomach, it instantly transformed into an explosive and terrifying energy. Ryun's body immediately swelled up like a balloon.
Before his bloated body could burst, countless branches quickly wrapped around him. The divine tree seemed to be both helping its host and taking the opportunity to absorb the excess fruit energy that Ryun could not digest.
"Wh—what kind of joke is this?!"
Ryun, now resembling a meatball, shouted loudly. As he willed it, the Yang Seal mark instantly opened on his forehead. Black sealing patterns spread across his entire body in an instant, forcibly suppressing the terrifying energy eruption brought by the divine fruit.
The divine tree branches coiled around Ryun all exploded apart, and his body returned to its normal shape from its previous meatball-like state.
His entire body began to glow. This was the energy light produced by the interweaving of sage chakra and ninja chakra.
His left eye, which had originally been in a cooldown state, suddenly snapped open. Once again, three new tomoe appeared within the pair of Six Tomoe Rinnegan. In an instant, the eyes evolved into Nine Tomoe Rinnegan.
As both eyes opened, a crack also appeared on Ryun's forehead. The original Yang Seal mark was instantly overlaid by a Nine Tomoe Rinne-Sharingan.
The patterns centered around the Yang Seal were completely unaffected. The sage chakra he had accumulated within it remained intact.
After the three eyes were transformed by the divine fruit's energy, the remaining massive energy began forcibly remodeling Ryun's body. He felt his cells being forcibly infused with energy.
This mutation was anything but pleasant. It felt as if his body were about to be blown apart by the energy. Even the Sage Purple Core within him began to swell and deform under the flood of endless power.
"No, I need to slow this down… otherwise my body will really explode…"
Seeing blood begin to seep from his skin, Ryun decisively began forming hand seals. One sealing formula after another emerged from his hands and rapidly spread across his entire body. He intended to temporarily seal both his body and the majority of the energy within it.
Enduring the swelling pain throughout his body, Ryun slightly moved his finger. Truth-Seeking Balls instantly appeared and completely enveloped him.
After the black sphere fully formed, it began to slowly drift toward the direction of the main world. The divine tree, sensing the movement of the "fruit," immediately chose to follow. It extended its roots and wrapped around the sphere. One sphere and one tree slowly traveled and rotated through space, guided by a faint gravitational pull.
