Chapter 127 Taking Over Loulan!
He didn't take the matter in the Land of Rivers to heart; it was just a casual move he made.
It's just a few backup plans; if it succeeds, it's icing on the cake, but if it fails, it won't be a big deal.
As for the scroll that Uchiha Shisui obtained, it was naturally left behind intentionally by his skeletal shadow clone.
The handwriting on the scroll was messy, but it contained a hidden secret: the residual traces of chakra could only be detected by the Sharingan.
Shisui's kaleidoscopes must have etched those few lines of text into his mind.
"Hashirama cells — Sharingan — Mangekyou Sharingan, restored —"
A few words are enough to make a smart person's mind wander, and Zhi Shui is precisely a smart person.
Moreover, the curse of the Mangekyou Sharingan has never spared anyone.
That vision that is gradually darkening, that irreversible abyss of nearsightedness, will one day descend upon Shisui.
At that time, the information on the scroll in his hand will sprout in his heart like a seed.
Izumikawa understood human weaknesses all too well. Many people can be indifferent to their own needs.
They can even calmly endure the suffering that fate inflicts upon them, yet they cannot help but care about the people they value.
That's exactly the kind of person Shisui is!
He himself could be indifferent, even if he went blind or was shattered to pieces, he wouldn't even flinch, but Itachi couldn't.
That genius boy, whom he regarded as his younger brother and the future of the Uchiha clan, must not be allowed to suffer any mishap.
Even Itachi in the future will follow the same path.
He crushed everything he had left—his reputation, his life, even his soul—and paved a path for Sasuke's feet.
That's just human nature!
Izumi shook his head gently, banishing those distracting thoughts from his mind.
After a period of rest and recuperation, the damage to the Mangekyou Sharingan has almost completely recovered under the dual nourishment of Hashirama's cells and Shikotsumyaku.
The pupil power in his left eye was full and rich, even more so than when he had just taken it.
"It's time!"
He slowly got up, stretched his stiff neck, formed a mudra with his hands, and lightly touched his temples with his fingertips.
"Yakura," his voice was calm, yet it clearly reached his companions in the distance through invisible chakra fluctuations, "I've recovered, you can come over now."
Yekura, who was instructing Sara on her training, suddenly stopped and looked up in the direction of Izumi.
She withdrew her gaze and said briefly to the Loulan queen beside her, "Let's go, Lord Izumikawa summons you."
Sarah nodded, and the two of them flashed off toward the Dragon Vein Sealing Chamber.
They descended the spiral stone steps until they entered the secret chamber at the bottom, which sealed the dragon vein.
In the dim space, the sealing array patterns emitted a faint blue light, like a giant net spread out on the ground.
Izumi was standing at the edge of the seal, her back to them, her robes fluttering slightly in the breeze from the chakra emanating from the dragon vein.
"They're here."
He turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Ye Cang and landing on Sarah behind her.
Ye Cang nodded slightly, said nothing more, and consciously stepped aside.
Sarah stood beside Ye Cang with her head slightly lowered, looking somewhat reserved.
"Come!"
Izumikawa extended his hand to Sara, his tone calm yet leaving no room for refusal.
Sarah was silent for a moment, then glanced at Ye Cang. Seeing him nod slightly, she slowly stepped forward and gently placed her hand—
Place it in Izumi's palm.
The moment she was touched, Sarah's body trembled slightly.
She could clearly feel that the chakra within her body was being manipulated by an invisible hand, and began to circulate involuntarily.
My heart pounded in my chest, steady and powerful, each beat seemingly resonating subtly with the sleeping dragon vein beneath my feet.
That resonance was like a tide, surging in wave after wave, spreading from the soles of my feet to my whole body.
Sarah took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Sarah, I need your help in my cultivation." Quanchuan's voice rang in her ear, deep and clear, "Help me control the power of the dragon veins, and I will bring the entire Loulan into the Divine Might Space."
Sarah suddenly looked up, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.
The entire Loulan?
She instinctively wanted to say something, but when her gaze met Izumi's eyes, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
The Sharingan with three tomoe in the opponent's left eye was slowly rotating at this moment, and then suddenly accelerated, merging into one, transforming into a pattern like the Fuma Shuriken.
It's the Mangekyou Sharingan!
With one red and one white eye, accentuated by pale red eyeshadow, Izumi's face gained an air of eeriness and oppression.
Sarah knew she couldn't refuse.
From the moment the other party arrived, she no longer had the chance to refuse.
She could only nod gently, letting Izumi hold her hand, closing her eyes, and beginning to mobilize the power within her body that resonated with the dragon vein.
The chakra deep within the dragon vein was originally like a sealed raging torrent, wild and turbulent, constantly trying to break free of its restraints.
But under Sarah's guidance, the violent power gradually subsided, becoming docile and gentle like a tamed beast.
As Izumi felt the warm touch of his palm and the wispy dragon vein chakra emanating from Sara, a satisfied smile slowly curved his lips.
With Sarah's assistance, it was as if a filter had been added to the dragon vein, making the violent force that was capable of tearing through space and time gentle and controllable.
He had considered borrowing Sara's help as early as when he first tried to tear apart the Divine Might Space.
Unfortunately, Sarah had no cultivation experience at the time and her physique was very weak. He was worried that the backlash would tear the girl to pieces, so he had no choice but to give up.
Things are different now. After a period of training and guidance from Yekura, Sara has mastered the basics of chakra manipulation and her body has become much stronger.
Moreover, this time it wasn't about tearing space apart, but merely borrowing the dragon vein's vast chakra to support Kamui's continuous output, making the risk far less dangerous than before.
"Perfect, I'll take this opportunity to help my cultivation."
Izumi closed his eyes, and the kaleidoscope in his left eye slowly began to rotate, and the entrance to the Kamui Space quietly opened in the void.
The power of the dragon vein, resonating with Sarah, flowed continuously into his body.
Then, through the power of the kaleidoscope's pupils, it transformed into an invisible devouring force, beginning to envelop the entire Loulan.
The earth trembled slightly, dust fell from the ceiling of the secret chamber, and the light of the sealing array began to flicker violently, as if emitting a final lament.
Yekura stood in the corner, arms crossed, quietly watching everything.
The resonance of the dragon vein roared deep underground, like the heartbeat of an ancient behemoth, one beat after another, shaking the very foundation of Loulan.
Inside the sealed chamber, the sealing array patterns emitted a blinding blue light, and purple chakra continuously poured out from the cracks, enveloping the seal—
The two people on the platform.
The Mangekyou Sharingan in Izumikawa's left eye was now ignited, burning with purple flames.
He held Sarah's hand, and the immense, almost inexhaustible chakra of the Dragon Vein, through her resonance, transformed into a gentle torrent, continuously flowing into his body.
"open!"
With a low shout, the Divine Might Space suddenly opened up above Loulan.
The distorted space transformed into a black hole, resembling a giant eye, and began to spread continuously.
An invisible force poured down from that giant eye, enveloping every inch of Loulan's land.
The first to be affected were the towers surrounding the palace; the originally straight buildings were now twisting and swaying seductively.
The entire building seemed to have had its soul extracted, transforming into part of the vortex and disappearing into the depths of the black hole.
Starting from the edge, buildings and the ground are sucked into it.
The streets of Loulan were deserted, save for skeletal puppets.
These puppets were left behind by Izumi River for the repair and maintenance of the city.
At that moment, as if sensing some kind of call, the eerie light deep within their eyes suddenly shone.
One, two, ten, a hundred—countless skeletal puppets raised their heads from every corner of Loulan, their empty eye sockets gazing at the giant, scarlet eye in the sky.
They didn't struggle at all; they just waited to be sucked in.
The first puppet's feet left the ground, and it waved its bony arms, trying to grab the stone pillar next to it, but the pillar had already been uprooted.
It tumbled in the air, eventually transforming into a white streak of light, which was then sucked into the depths of the giant eye.
Then came the second, the third, and the tenth body.
Hundreds and thousands of skeletal puppets rose into the sky like withered leaves swept up by the tide, forming a massive torrent of bones that spiraled into the Divine Might Space.
The black hole in the sky is constantly descending, and the distorted space swallows everything in it before returning to its original state.
Like an abstract oil painting, the architecture features only simple lines, and is even simplified to the point of being hasty.
The entire Loulan was rising from the ground, beginning to sink into the dark vortex.
Soon, as the structure above Izumi and the others was removed, a huge, distorted black hole in the sky was revealed.
Sarah's body trembled slightly, revealing a hint of fear.
"Calm down! That's my power; it won't hurt you."
Izumi's voice rang out. He stood in the collapsed secret chamber, his feet protected by chakra, and remained motionless.
His left eye was bloodshot again, and blood was flowing continuously from the corner of his eye.
Upon hearing this, Sarah closed her eyes tightly, trembling all over, but she gripped Izumi's hand tightly, guiding out the last bit of power from the dragon vein.
Ye Cang stood at the entrance of the secret room, looking up at the crumbling sky above.
The sky has vanished, replaced by the void of darkness deep within that giant eye.
As the last section of the city wall was pulled from the ground, it stirred up a cloud of dust and slowly rose into the sky, marking the complete disappearance of the ancient Loulan Kingdom from this land.
Only a few dilapidated buildings and a large amount of yellow sand remained at the site of the seal.
The underground dragon veins calmed down again, and after a large amount of chakra power was extracted, they entered a stable state of depletion.
Within the Divine Might Space, a complete ancient kingdom sits, and countless puppets begin to move again, carrying out repairs.
The buildings of Loulan are arranged in a staggered and orderly manner in the space, as if they were there all along, without appearing abrupt at all.
After doing all this, Izumi closed his left eye, and blood slid down his cheek.
He released Sara's hand, who almost collapsed to the ground, but Yekura caught her.
He opened his right eye and looked around. The once vast ancient kingdom had completely disappeared. A slow smile appeared on his lips.
"It's done!"
