Before long, it was Garaga's turn to claim the reward for ranking thirteenth on the Six Paths list.
Two reward items sequentially materialized on the screen.
The initial reward item presented was a drop of blood essence.
[Dragon King Blood Essence: Condensed from the essence of the Dragon King, this blood possesses immense benefits for the Dragon Clan. It can cleanse the Dragon Clan's blood and significantly fortify their physical constitution.]
The subsequent reward item was a talent.
[Dragon God Battle Body: Among the high-tier talents, once activated, it grants unparalleled strength, defense, speed, and physical prowess. Additionally, it enhances perception and reaction abilities, offering comprehensive physical enhancement.]
"Dragon King Blood Essence, Dragon God Battle Body... Both are exceptional rewards!"
Garaga couldn't contain his excitement.
Indeed, these rewards were top-notch. The rewards at the Six Paths level were living up to expectations.
After careful consideration, Garaga ultimately opted for the Dragon King's blood.
Despite the remarkable attributes of the Dragon God Battle Body, being a ruby dragon, he possessed innate capabilities for enhancing combat prowess. While not on par with the Dragon God Battle Body, it wasn't far off either.
Hence, the Dragon King's blood seemed more fitting for him.
"Extract the blood of the Dragon King!" Garaga declared.
With a hum, Garaga extracted the blood of the Dragon King.
Subsequently, Garaga consumed the Dragon King's blood and commenced refining it within his body.
Boom!
The majestic energy and essence of the Dragon King's blood continuously refined Garaga's physique, rapidly enhancing his physical attributes, and purifying his ruby dragon blood.
Consequently, his strength surged.
[Beerus: Garaga has chosen the blood of the Dragon King, and his strength will see a significant boost!]
[Tsunade: It's just the reward for thirteenth place, yet it's so remarkable. Seems like the rewards on the Six Paths list are indeed impressive!]
[White Snake Sage : I will be receiving my reward shortly; I hope it surpasses Garaga's reward.]
[Great Toad Sage: Old White Snake, perhaps your reward will be merely average!]
[White Snake Sage: It's bound to surpass yours! I rank higher than you, so you should be envious!]
Before long, the fourteenth place reward for White Snake Sage was announced.
Hum!
Two reward items appeared on the screen.
The initial reward item was an unusual spar.
[Heavenly Serpent Crystal: Bestows evolutionary enhancements upon any snake creature, significantly purifies snake blood, enhances physical prowess, and fortifies mental resilience…)
The second bonus item is a secret technique.
[Swallowing Serpent Technique (abbreviated): Enables infinite enlargement of the mouth, allowing consumption of all matter, even capable of devouring the sun and moon…)
[Great Toad Sage: Swallowing the sun and moon whole? That's quite the tall tale!
[Kakashi: Devouring the sun and moon in a single gulp—what an extraordinary power! The moon alone is colossal, and the sun? Utterly formidable. It's beyond compare. In the eyes of the sun, even the entire ninja world is but a speck!
[Tsunade: Swallowing Serpent Technique is all bluster unless one possesses formidable strength. It's certainly not on par with the Six Paths. Daring to consume the sun would result in being incinerated on the spot."
[Fourth Raikage: Such a feat demands unfathomable might, yet this secret technique appears rather inadequate."
[Great Toad Sage: Old White Snake, are you considering the Swallowing Serpent Technique?"
[White Snake Sage: Hah, what need have I for such a technique? What good is the ability to devour when I prefer the Heavenly Serpent Crystal!
Ignoring others' opinions, White Snake Sage opted for the Heavenly Serpent Crystal, which promised to enhance her strength. She promptly retrieved the crystal.
Wow!
The violet Heavenly Serpent Crystal now in the possession of White Snake Sage was swiftly swallowed, causing her soaring snake lineage to surge within her veins.
Despite consuming blood orchids for days, her transformation into a soaring serpent had been hindered by their scarcity.
But now, aided by the Heavenly Serpent Crystal, White Snake Sage appeared to transcend that limitation with astonishing speed.
At that moment,
Her mental fortitude and physical prowess soared, while her bloodline underwent continual purification.
Then, in an instant, her final metamorphosis was complete.
Boom!
A gargantuan form materialized within Ryūchi Cave, emanating a fearsome aura that compelled the numerous giant snakes within to prostrate themselves, unable to withstand its pressure.
The three snake princesses immediately discerned that White Snake Sage had attained her metamorphosis and become a true God creature – the Soaring Sky Serpent!
Swiftly, they approached White Snake Sage.
"Congratulations, White Snake Sage, on becoming Soaring Sky Serpent!"
"Congratulations, White Snake Sage, on becoming Soaring Sky Serpent!"
"Congratulations, White Snake Sage, on becoming Soaring Sky Serpent!"
The three snake princesses exchanged congratulations.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
White Snake Sage was jubilant.
She transformed into a serpent, her power surged, her potential boundless!
As the Serpent Crystal wasn't fully refined yet, she bid Ichikishimahime and the others to depart, focusing on refining the remaining essence alone.
Before long, the reward for the fifteenth spot on the Six Paths list was revealed.
This round, the honor belonged to the Sage Katsuyu.
Displayed on the screen were two coveted rewards.
First, a gleaming vial caught attention.
[Rank Four Golden Elixir: Bolsters Senjutsu Chakra, fortifies physique, extends lifespan by 300 years, and possesses potent healing properties...]
The second prize was a God-level question-and-answer card.
[God-level question-and-answer card: Three questions posed sequentially. Answer them all correctly for astounding rewards. Two correct answers yield general rewards; a single correct answer earns no reward. No chance for items acquired before or after!]
[Tsunade: A God-level question-and-answer card surfaces in Sage Katsuyu's reward pool.]
[Third Hokage: Opting for the God-level card isn't prudent; the Rank Four golden elixir is quite appealing.]
[Senju Hashirama: Indeed, a misstep with the God level Q&A card could cost you!]
[White Snake Sage: Sage Katsuyul, why not gamble on the God-level question-and-answer card? The prize might exceed the top spot's reward this time!]
[Sage Katsuyu: I'm not one for excessive greed; I'll stick with the Rank Four golden elixir!
[White Snake Sage: Timid!]
Thus, Sage Katsuyu chose the vial and claimed it without hesitation.
Thud!
The vial landed in Sage Katsuyu's palm, swiftly consumed.
Boom!
Empowered by the Rank Four golden elixir, the Senjutsu Chakra surged within her Lost Sage Body, amplifying her aura and bolstering her strength significantly.
Shortly after, the reward for the sixteenth place on the Six Paths list was unveiled.
At this moment, the Great Toad Sage brimmed with anticipation.
