Chapter 170 : Ice Heart Crystal!!!

The deduction system operates at its limit, relieving Yasao of any concerns he might have had. He simply needed to bide his time for ten years before reaping the benefits of the Mythic Daluo cultivation method.

Meanwhile, the announcement of the second-place reward on the Kill List drew attention, and it was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya who claimed it.

Displayed on the screen were two reward items.

The first was a Rank Five golden pill.

[Rank Five Golden Pill: A pill of great potency, capable of significant enhancement of Chakra and physical fortitude. It extends lifespan by 300 years and accelerates healing of injuries. This Rank Five variant is particularly suited for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, potentially facilitating her ascent to the Immortal Dao level.]

The second bonus item was an advanced talent.

[Destroying Soul: A high-level talent capable of condensing spiritual power to instantly extinguish the enemy's soul…]

"Though the Destroying Soul talent holds promise, it won't aid me in breaking the shackles. I choose the Rank Five Golden Pill. Once refined, it will enable me to transcend these constraints and attain Immortal Dao Level," thought Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

With conviction, she selected the Rank Five golden pill.

"Mother has chosen the Rank 5 Golden Pill. With its aid, she stands a great chance of shattering her limitations and ascending to Immortal Dao Level!" frowned Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.

If his mother attained Immortal Dao-level prowess, the seal might prove insufficient to contain her.

Though Yasao resided within the ninja world, should he depart one day, his mother's temperament would undoubtedly unleash havoc.

But for now, he could only watch.

[Tsunade: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya has acquired Rank 5 Golden Pills. It seems likely she will break through to the Immortal Dao level this time. This is troublesome!]

[Fourth Raikage: Indeed, once Ōtsutsuki Kaguya achieves Immortal Dao level, she will likely break free from the seal, posing a significant threat to the ninja world!]

[Gaara: Our concerns are futile; this is beyond our jurisdiction!]

[Terumi Mei: The power of the Immortal Dao level is too formidable. While other levels of Immortal Dao may not possess Yasao's terrifying strength, they are certainly far superior to the Six Paths level powerhouse! In the past, a kick from a Six Paths level powerhouse could shatter mountains, but no matter how weak the Immortal Dao level is, it possesses the means to devastate a country with a single blow!

Moon, Sealed Space.

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya extracted the Rank Five Golden Pill from the live broadcast room and consumed it immediately.

Being infinitely close to the Immortal Dao level herself, under the influence of this Rank 5 Golden Pill, she has gradually begun to ascend to a higher realm.

"The bottleneck has loosened. This time, we can definitely break through!" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya exclaimed excitedly.

Of course, breaking through requires some time; it's impossible to achieve instantaneously.

After a while, the reward for third place on the Kill List was revealed.

This reward belonged to Orochimaru.

Soon, two reward items appeared on the screen.

The first reward item is a yellow fruit.

[Golden Source Fruit: It greatly enhances Chakra, tempers the body to a certain extent, and extends lifespan by five hundred years.]

The second reward item is a Rank Four Golden Pill.

[Rank Four Golden Pill: It significantly boosts Chakra, tempers the physique, extends lifespan by 300 years, and also heals wounds.]

[Tsunade: Orochimaru's luck isn't bad!]

[Jiraiya: I wonder which reward Orochimaru will choose?]

[Senju Hashirama: I think Golden Source Fruit isn't bad. At least it increases lifespan more.]

[Uchiha Madara: If it were me, I would definitely choose Golden Source Fruit!]

"Sasuke, let's cooperate. I can offer you the reward, but I have a better proposal. I choose Golden Source Fruit, then study this reward. Perhaps I can develop a treasure that can extend lifespan and maximize its value. Naturally, I only need one-tenth of Golden Source Fruit for research, and the remainder is still yours to consume. Though the effect might be slightly diminished, the impact shouldn't be significant. If you agree, release me. How about it?" Orochimaru suggested.

"Orochimaru, no tricks," Sasuke cautioned.

"I won't resort to tricks as I can't defeat you," Orochimaru replied coldly.

"I won't ask for tricks, I promise!" Orochimaru hastily assured.

Promptly, Uchiha Sasuke released Orochimaru and arranged for a new body for him.

Soon, Orochimaru was liberated.

"It feels good to be free!" Orochimaru exclaimed excitedly.

Upon regaining freedom, Orochimaru immediately extracted Golden Source Fruit.

He sliced off one-tenth of the Golden Source Fruit and handed the remainder to Sasuke.

Afterwards, Orochimaru delved into studying Golden Source Fruit, while Sasuke proceeded to refine it. Once refined, his strength would undoubtedly soar, reaching the level of the Six Paths without question.

Shortly after, the rewards for the fourth position on the Kill List were announced.

The fourth target on the list was Nine Tails.

Two reward items appeared on the screen.

The first item was a puck.

[Ice Heart Crystal: It can be integrated into the soul, maintaining absolute sobriety and rationality, greatly enhancing control over one's strength, energy, and understanding.]

The second bonus item was a talent.

[Giant Body: An advanced talent allowing one to transform into a colossal form, endowed with tremendous strength and defense.]

[Nine Tails: Wow, these two rewards are quite impressive!]

[Kakashi: Nine Tails' physique is already formidable. If it has the potential for gigantism, won't it become even larger?]

[Eight Tails: The Ice Heart Crystal is superior. Our reservoir of tailed beast Chakra is unparalleled. Despite having more Chakra than individuals like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, our strength doesn't match theirs. The true reason lies in our inability to control our own energy and unleash our full potential. With the Ice Heart Crystal, our tailed beasts can unlock their latent power, enabling us to maintain clarity of mind and avoid falling into a berserk state. This is essential for combat, as it prevents susceptibility to illusions!]

[Nine Tails: Gyūki is correct. While a giant physique is advantageous, if one cannot harness their own power and merely grows in size, they become a vulnerable target. Thus, I opt for the Ice Heart Crystal!]

Subsequently, Nine Tails selected the Ice Heart Crystal and seamlessly integrated it into its essence. This integration allows it to fully harness the Crystal's power and control its Chakra energy. 

In future collaborations with Naruto, this enhanced control promises to unleash unparalleled might.
