Chapter 253 - Chapter 252: The Divine Shield

As a manifestation of the soul's reflection, the special abilities gained upon awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan are closely tied to the host's experiences and inner desires.

Long ago, Qingming had speculated about what kind of dojutsu he would acquire upon awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. Now, he could finally find out.

With that thought in mind, Qingming focused his heart and began to carefully sense the power residing within his Sharingan.

However, before he could detect any dojutsu, he first sensed another kind of power.

With a thought, Qingming followed this sensation and drew out the power.

In an instant, a wave of excruciating pain surged through him.

At that moment, it felt as if every cell in his body was convulsing, causing his facial expression to twist uncontrollably.

"Ugh!"

Qingming couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Suddenly, a massive silver-white arm and ribcage emerged, enveloping him in a protective embrace.

This power was none other than the ultimate ability dwelling within the Mangekyō Sharingan—Susanoo.

Susanoo is a powerful Yin Release technique obtained when the Sharingan reaches the Mangekyō level and the user's spiritual energy undergoes a qualitative change.

It is generally divided into four stages:

First Stage: The form resembles a skeletal structure, completely encasing the host's body. Its defensive capabilities are decent, but it can still be breached by extremely forceful attacks.

At this stage, Susanoo can wield simple weapons like ordinary swords and its attacks are purely physical.

Second Stage: Building upon the skeletal form, it becomes covered with muscles and flesh, wrapped in a layer of chakra.

At this stage, Susanoo achieves optimal balance and can employ the general long-range attack known as the Yata Mirror.

Third Stage: Adding the Tengu armor, this stage significantly boosts defensive capabilities.

However, it also greatly increases chakra consumption and becomes highly unstable, making it difficult for an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan to maintain for extended periods.

Fourth Stage: In this stage, the lower body and legs are added, greatly increasing its size, and the user resides in Susanoo's head.

At this point, Susanoo has no defensive weaknesses, and its mobility is greatly enhanced.

These are the four developmental stages of Susanoo, which will continue to evolve as the host's ocular power increases.

What Qingming had summoned was an initial form independent of these four stages, limited to manifesting only an arm and ribcage.

In this form, his body could not be completely enclosed, leaving significant gaps that could be easily exploited.

As a result, its practical utility was quite limited.

In addition to this initial form, Susanoo also has a complete form, known as True Susanoo.

In this state, Susanoo is enormous, with highly stable chakra, capable of effortlessly cleaving mountains and meteors, and even possessing flight capabilities.

Moreover, it can perform hand seals to unleash techniques favored by the user, greatly amplifying their power.

It's a perfect form.

However, to unlock this state, one must maximize the ocular power of the Mangekyō Sharingan and possess an immense chakra reserve.

For now, Qingming didn't need to think about that; he certainly couldn't meet those conditions.

Even the current 'initial form' was not something he could maintain for long.

There were two reasons for this: first, the pressure Susanoo exerts on the body is immense, and with his current physique, he couldn't sustain it for extended periods.

Second, utilizing this power also places a burden on the Sharingan; while the damage is less severe than directly using dojutsu, it shouldn't be underestimated.

Speaking of dojutsu, Qingming focused again, retracting the silver-white arm and ribcage from his body, and continued to sense the power residing within his Mangekyō Sharingan.

After a moment, a stream of blood tears flowed from his left eye.

Immediately, a surge of power suddenly manifested, enveloping his entire being, causing him to vanish from the spot.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

After a full ten seconds, Qingming reappeared.

At this moment, the power that had enveloped him had vanished, but his face was filled with astonishment and barely concealed excitement.

The reason for his reaction was simple: the power was overwhelmingly strong.

At this moment, two words filled Qingming's mind—invincible!

Indeed, it was invincible.

The dojutsu residing in his left eye was named 'Ten no Mi', which bears a close resemblance to the Otsutsuki Kaguya's space-warping Rinnegan ability known as 'Ten no Mi', differing by just one character, yet their effects are vastly different.

In some respects, Qingming's 'Ten no Mi' might be even more formidable.

Its effects can be primarily divided into two aspects: the first is to sever him from this world, achieving a state akin to 'escaping the three realms and transcending the five elements.'

In this state, no matter if it's ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu, no attack can harm him.

Furthermore, the opponent cannot even perceive him.

Even if Qingming stands right in front of them, they would see nothing and could not touch him, as if they were in entirely different worlds, utterly unaffected by each other.

If that were all, it would be sufficient.

While this ability is powerful, it wouldn't truly qualify as invincible; the key lies in its second effect: while severing himself from the world, it also eliminates all negative statuses afflicting him.

That is what makes it truly terrifying!

This means that even if he were subjected to the so-called 'strongest genjutsu', Kotoamatsukami, and had his will subtly altered, as long as he activates 'Ten no Mi', he would instantly return to normal.

As for other scenarios, such as losing limbs, being poisoned, or cursed, the same principle applies.

'Ten no Mi' acts like a reboot or a rollback.

Theoretically, as long as he has breath left and his consciousness is clear, he cannot truly die.

Of course, this premise requires sufficient chakra; otherwise, even if he possesses the ability, he cannot deploy it.

Nonetheless, this is sufficient to illustrate the absurdity of 'Ten no Mi'.

And so, Qingming called this ability invincible.

The reason he awakened this power, Qingming speculated, was likely due to his persistent sense of crisis.

Having encountered the Third Shinobi World War soon after his arrival, with survival constantly at stake, and his initial strength being quite average.

Consequently, he had lived in constant fear for a long time.

Over time, this deep-seated feeling naturally cultivated a desire for 'invincibility' within him.

In addition, he had long aspired to transcend in this world.

This, too, required the kind of overwhelming strength associated with invincibility.

The combination of these factors made awakening this ability unsurprising.

The only downside is that he can currently maintain 'Ten no Mi' for a maximum of ten seconds.

Once this time is exceeded, it will place an enormous burden on the Sharingan, significantly hastening the onset of blindness.

Thus, even with this dojutsu, he is far from truly invincible, and he must remain cautious when necessary.
