Chapter 140 : Kaguya's Predicament!

After obtaining the Rank Five golden elixir, Beerus wasted no time in consuming it.

Boom!

The explosion of majestic energy surged, igniting the chakra within Beerus, elevating it to new heights.

Ignoring the live broadcast room, Beerus focused solely on refining the Rank 5 Golden Pill within his body.

Meanwhile, the announcement for the third-place reward on the Six Paths list arrived, destined for Rong Rong.

Displayed on the screen were two reward items.

The first was a fruit:

[Indestructible Heart Fruit: This fruit significantly enhances the heart, fortifies the soul, and augments spiritual power."

The second item was a weapon:

[Heart Lock Pearl: A coveted spiritual treasure, activated by mental (spiritual) strength. It can ensnare the minds of others, locking their hearts and rendering them powerless to resist."

Both rewards were well-suited for Rong Rong.

Yet, Rong Rong found herself in a quandary.

While her master excelled in weapon refinement, the materials for crafting Heart Lock Pearl were scarce in the ninja world.

Thus, entrusting her master with the task of crafting the Heart Lock Pearl might fall short due to insufficient materials.

"Master, which treasure should I choose?" Rong Rong sought Yasao's counsel.

"Opt for the Indestructible Heart Fruit. Though I may not be able to craft the Heart Lock Pearl now, in future ventures to other worlds, I can still fashion it. The Indestructible Heart Fruit holds greater importance; it will serve you better," Yasao advised.

"Master, I understand," Rong Rong affirmed.

Without delay, she selected the Indestructible Heart Fruit.

With a hum, Rong Rong retrieved the fruit from the live broadcast room, swallowing it whole, and commenced the refinement process.

Immediately, the potent energy of the Indestructible Heart Fruit surged within her, continuously refining her soul, enhancing her mental and spiritual fortitude.

Moreover, she noticed an enhancement in her purple eyes.

"What a pleasant surprise!" Rong Rong exclaimed.

Should she fully refine the Indestructible Heart Fruit, her strength would undoubtedly skyrocket, perhaps even approaching the realm of Immortal Dao.

In the Golden List live room:

[Sun Wukong: Rongrong's choice of the Indestructible Heart Fruit is truly fitting. After refining it, her power will soar. I hope my reward will be equally beneficial, allowing me to enhance my strength significantly.]

[Garaga: My rank isn't as high as yours, so I'm unsure about my reward. I hope it's decent!)

[Red Lotus Godzilla: Don't fret. I believe the rewards on the Six Paths list should be quite substantial.]

[White Snake Sage: Ahem, I concur with Red Lotus Godzilla. It's preferable if our rewards are uniform!)

[Uchiha Madara: I too advocate for everyone receiving similar rewards.

[Senju Hashirama: Madara, considering your rank is the lowest, it's natural to desire uniform rewards, but it's improbable!)

Subsequently, the reward for the fourth position on the Six Paths list was revealed.

Two bonus items flashed on the screen.

The first reward was a droplet of blood essence.

[Innate God and Demon Blood Essence: It greatly enhances the flesh and offers a chance to obtain the blood of gods and demons.]

The second reward was a skeleton.

[Vajra Bone: It can be fused with the body, transforming bones into diamond-grade strength. ]

Upon seeing these two rewards, Sun Wukong hesitated.

[Sun Wukong: Both rewards are exceptional. I'm torn on which to choose.

[Four Tails: Big Brother, opt for the Vajra Bone. Sense that aura!

[Garaga: The Innate God and Demon Blood Essence seems promising. Vajra bones feel somewhat akin to external transformations, which may not necessarily benefit future foundations, whereas the blood essence offers more potential!)

[Honghong: I also think the blood of the innate gods and demons is good!]

[Yasao: Choose the blood of the innate gods and demons, Vajra Bones may greatly enhance your strength, but once you surpass the Six Paths level, the vajra bone becomes just average.]

[Sun Wukong: I obey the master's decision!]

Subsequently, Sun Wukong opted for the blood of the innate gods and demons and promptly underwent extraction.

Hum!

The essence of the innate gods and demons was extracted by Sun Wukong, which he immediately consumed.

As the blood of the innate gods and demons surged through him, Sun Wukong felt his entire being undergoing a profound transformation.

"The blood of the innate gods and demons truly is remarkable," Sun Wukong mused.

Moreover, the bloodline of the Divine Stone Monkey within him seemed to be evolving and elevating, as if merging with the divine bloodline.

Soon, the reward for the fifth place on the Six Paths list was announced, this time awarded to Yaya.

Two bonus items appeared on the screen.

The first bonus item was an elixir.

[Ice Lotus Elixir: Crafted from Ten Thousand Years Dark Ice, Ten Thousand Years Immortal Lotus, Ten Thousand Years Cold Grass, and various other rare ingredients, this elixir significantly enhances one's Senjutsu Chakra and ice abilities. Additionally, it extends lifespan by 3,000 years.]

The second bonus item was a vial of dew.

[Frost Immortal Dew: This dew greatly enhances one's mastery of Senjutsu techniques and boosts their ice energy, thereby extending lifespan by 6,000 years.]

Upon seeing these rewards, many ninjas were astonished.

[Kakashi: Doesn't Yaya, the fox demon, have better rewards than the previous ones?]

[Tsunade: Indeed, it appears luck is a factor!]

[Uchiha Madara: Perhaps rankings aren't as crucial; all rewards on the Six Paths list are quite exceptional!]

[Fourth Raikage: Regardless, it's hard not to be envious!]

And in this pivotal moment, Yaya found herself caught in indecision...

"Master, it seems the ice lotus elixir enhances strength significantly, while the frost immortal dew extends lifespan more effectively. I'm inclined towards the ice lotus elixir, how about you?" After a moment of hesitation, Yaya voiced her decision.

"Yes, the ice lotus elixir does hold considerable promise," Yasao concurred.

With resolve, Yaya selected the ice lotus elixir.

Once the elixir was in her possession, Yaya set forth to refine it, knowing well that upon completion, her strength would undergo a remarkable surge.

Meanwhile, the reward for sixth place on the Six Paths list was about to be revealed.

This time, the honor fell upon Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who eagerly awaited her prize.

"I hope to receive a treasure that can elevate me beyond the Six Paths level," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya expressed her anticipation.

Soon, two items appeared as rewards on the screen.

The first was a bead.

[Heavenly Eyeball: It augments ocular prowess several-fold and can neutralize 90% of incoming ocular attacks.]

The second was a fruit.

[Reincarnation Fruit: Upon consumption, it enables one to retain memories through reincarnation. After 18 years, one's soul memory is restored, power regained, returning to peak strength.]

The announcement of these rewards stirred concern among many.

[Tsunade: The Reincarnation Fruit... If Ōtsutsuki Kaguya selects this, could she escape her predicament after 18 years?]

[Fourth Raikage: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya might hesitate. Opting for this reward means forsaking others for over a decade. What if a better reward surfaces in the future?]

[Terumi Mei: True, by choosing the Reincarnation Fruit, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya sacrifices numerous potential rewards in the next 18 years. Perhaps by then, everyone will reach her level!]

[Senju Hashirama: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya must be in quite the quandary.]

[Uchiha Madara: It would be wiser for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya to choose the Reincarnation Fruit!]

[Senju Hashirama: Haha, Madara, afraid you'll become Kaguya's vessel?]

[Uchiha Madara: Afraid? Not in the slightest. I'm well aware of Black Zetsu's ambitions. Let him attempt to manipulate me. With my strength, I could crush him with ease!]

[Black Zetsu: Madara, cease your boasts. I am the embodiment of my mother's will, immortal. Though you nearly sealed me away, your desire to destroy me is futile!]

[Uchiha Madara: Dare to show yourself before me and face the consequences?]

[Black Zetsu: Revive first, then we'll talk!]

At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya found herself ensnared in an endless web of complications.
