The Flying Thunder God technique could naturally be used to teleport outward, but the Celestial Palace of Yomi was extremely far from the ancient Yomi Palace! With such a long distance, by the time Ye Liang returned from the Yomi Celestial Palace, it'd already be too late! We'll have missed our chance entirely!
"Everyone, isn't there a better solution? The Yellow Springs Emperor is already wounded. If we miss this opportunity, there really won't be another!"
Mikamitsu Shirabe shook her head.
"If we had a way, we would've escaped from here already."
This...
Ye Liang started feeling anxious.
Just then, Minato Namikaze suddenly stepped forward. "I do have an idea, but I'll need help from others."
"You have a plan?" Ye Liang asked.
"Yeah. I once fought against a masked man who specialized in Space-Time Ninjutsu. Although I can't use that move myself, I created a ninjutsu based on his principle."
"[Flying Thunder God Formation!]"
Ye Liang blurted out.
"Little buddy, how did you know?!" Minato Namikaze was astonished; he hadn't even mentioned it to Ye Liang, yet the latter already knew his thoughts.
[You're reading my thoughts again, aren't you?]
Ye Liang gave a delighted smile.
The [Flying Thunder God Formation] required four people working together and, through massive chakra supply, could briefly transport a person or object over a certain distance.
The farther the distance, the more chakra consumed!
But that didn't matter now. Ye Liang only needed to break out of this spatial barrier—there was no need to travel far.
"Okay, let's do it your way!"
Minato Namikaze became excited—it was finally his moment to shine. "[Flying Thunder God Formation] needs four powerful individuals to activate it; this is where everyone else's help comes in."
"I'll be one." Ye Liang stepped forward and looked at Mikamitsu Shirabe. "She'll be another, and you're the third! So we just need to find one more Kage-level ninja to complete the team."
"Right."
Minato nodded.
At that moment, the Old Man walked toward them from afar: "If you don't mind, count me in as well!"
Ye Liang glanced at him. It was actually Hanzo of the Rain Village ninja—the leader of Amegakure!
"Great! Then it's you!"
After some time, while Ye Liang explored the space barrier, Minato was setting up the formation when Mikamitsu Shirabe approached.
"Ye Liang, are you sure that old man can be trusted? I've never seen him before."
"Don't worry. Though his integrity might be questionable, his strength is good enough."
"You know him?"
"Yeah!"
Ye Liang nodded.
Sanshouo Hanzo's mood indeed seemed changeable—sometimes like a Naruto world semi-god ninja, other times like a cowardly trickster fearing death.
His temperament was unpredictable.
But one thing Ye Liang was sure of was that this man's ambition wasn't any smaller than those gathered here! For an ambitious person, the most intolerable thing was definitely endless imprisonment.
Compared with freedom, Ye Liang believed Sanshouo Hanzo certainly knew what mattered more.
"Never mind him for now—what are those ghostly figures floating around us? Why can't I see any other villagers except you?"
"They are the villagers," sighed Mikamitsu Shirabe.
"This space doesn't just trap us—it siphons our energy from time to time.
We're strong, so we've been able to withstand every attack so far. But the villagers aren't as resilient. Prolonged energy extraction has left them in a lifeless, drained state."
"Siphoning?" Ye Liang had barely finished asking when countless tendrils suddenly emerged from the surrounding space. Pitch-black in color, they immediately lashed toward the villagers' illusions.
The villagers' illusions began shrieking in agony.
The tendrils then attacked Mikamitsu Shirabe, but she simply flicked her sleeve, sending them flying away.
"Exactly as I feared. This is still just the first wave," Shirabe said. "Later on, there will be far more tendrils, and even I would struggle to hold them back!" As she finished speaking, the tendrils indeed began multiplying.
Not only were there more—but they were growing larger too!
Ye Liang furrowed his brow. The villagers' illusions wrapped by the tendrils weakened significantly, and some even completely vanished into thin air!
"This must be Yomi Emperor restoring his body!"
The Yomi Emperor had been severely injured. Considering these soul-siphoning tendrils, this must be one of his techniques!
"We can't let him keep doing this! Minato, keep setting up the formation. I'll fight these tendrils off with Mikamitsu. We cannot allow this to continue, or the Yomi Emperor will fully recover!"
"Alright!" Mikamitsu Shirabe immediately agreed and joined Ye Liang in attacking the nearby tendrils.
Ye Liang raised the merged chaotic cursed blade. Combining Onikiri's malevolence with the righteous power of the Yasaka Magatama Sword, the cursed blade's power became indestructible. With a single swing, hundreds of tendrils were reduced to dust!
"Damn, this really is a divine weapon."
Witnessing this, Mikamitsu Shirabe couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Still, she didn't overly react—Ye Liang had already shattered her sense of reality multiple times.
She'd gotten used to it by now.
The surrounding experts, seeing Ye Liang's display, felt greatly encouraged.
Everyone who had managed to survive until now were naturally top-tier experts. Though they couldn't match the Yomi Emperor, they were more than capable of handling these tendrils.
In the blink of an eye, half the tendrils were wiped out in an instant.
Outside.
The Yomi Emperor frowned.
While absorbing Death Qi through breathing techniques, he also relied on the tendrils' power to heal his wounds. Now that the tendrils couldn't siphon energy anymore, his recovery had slowed considerably.
"Damned bastards! Even inside the Devouring Dimension, they still won't behave!" He obviously knew exactly who was to blame for this—Ye Liang.
Back with Ye Liang.
Wave after wave of tendrils had already been cut down by him.
Now the question was—who should he bring out with him!
The Flying Thunder God technique could transport multiple targets. As long as he had enough energy, he could take several people along. Additionally, once the Yomi Emperor fell, this ruined Devouring Dimension would likely cease to exist entirely.
As for your people!
Ye Liang thought to himself. Since he had decided to save everyone, he might as well see it through to the end!
The Sage Chakra he had stored was well over 800. In all the battles so far, he had only consumed a little over 100.
"Minato!
"Let me handle the energy channelling—everyone else, get into the formation! Bring in all the fighters who can still stand!"
"What exactly are you planning?" Minato wasn't sure about Ye Liang's plan, but he followed orders anyway.
Before long,
All the powerful warriors in the Devouring Dimension had been assembled by Minato.
"Everyone, brace yourselves—we're breaking out of the Devouring Dimension!"
Outside,
The Yomi Emperor, struggling to mend his wounds, suddenly tensed up. He felt a subtle disturbance manifesting above him.
Just as he looked up,
A pitch-black wave of figures descended from the heavens like a storm!
An endless sea of tightly-packed bodies!
"No way! How did you manage to escape!"
