166: The epic creature 'Nine-Tailed Fox' arrives with the apocalypse, unleashing the ultimate taijutsu 'Eight Gates'!

The birth of the Three Great Sages marked the imminent arrival of the Hokage era.

Su Bai perked up, watching the subsequent developments of the simulator:

"The Three Great Sage Lands were formed, and this civilization reached its peak at this point."

"There were hundreds of Gold-tier Creatures alone, and among them, three Diamond Rank Sages!"

"Blessings are intertwined with misfortunes."

"When civilization develops to its extreme, it also means that a natural disaster is about to descend."

"The Twelfth Epoch, mid-period."

"The tree of omniscience awakened from its long slumber, bringing a wave of life's baptism. A Tailed Beast bore fruit, hatched, and was born into this world."

"From its birth, it exuded a powerful Diamond Rank fluctuation!"

"Diamond Rank Creature — Six-Tails 'Saiken', descends."

"With the birth of the Six-Tails, doomsday arrived. The death knell of civilization had rung, and the panicked Nature Civilization recalled the terror of being dominated by Tailed Beasts, the fear hidden deep within their bloodline erupting."

"But soon, the fear was dispelled."

"The Great Toad Sage made his move!"

"As a Diamond Rank Creature, the Great Toad Sage's strength rivaled that of a Tailed Beast, and even surpassed some weaker Tailed Beasts."

"Led by the Great Toad Sage, with two other Sages assisting, the newly arrived Six-Tails was suppressed before it even had a chance to rampage, sealed within a rift!"

"Cheers erupted. This was the first time civilization had defeated a Tailed Beast since its inception."

"At the same time."

"As the Tailed Beast was sealed, people's fear of Tailed Beasts was also driven away, believing that a beautiful era was about to arrive..."

"A beautiful era?"

Su Bai muttered, then suddenly smiled, "That's not necessarily true."

He snapped his fingers.

The potential of this era had been exhausted. No matter how hard they tried, Epic Rank creatures were already their peak.

But the tree of omniscience was different.

This simulation was originally intended to deduce the Hokage template, but as of today, Su Bai unexpectedly discovered that

the birth of each Tailed Beast

would feed a massive surge of energy back to the tree of omniscience.

As of today, with the birth of six Tailed Beasts, the tree of omniscience had already broken through to Epic Rank peak!

And touched the threshold of the Legendary realm!

Accumulating energy, when this energy reached its peak and began to gush forth, that would be the time for the tree of omniscience to advance!

For this,

even sacrificing several transcendent civilizations, Su Bai would not hesitate!

"Apply all remaining creation points to the tree of omniscience. At the same time, accelerate the formation of the Tailed Beasts, and push it to advance to the Legendary realm as quickly as possible!"

As Su Bai's calm voice fell,

the simulator began to run.

The remaining creation points rapidly decreased, almost as if burning, and at the same time, a bright, large ball of light condensed.

Like a new moon,

carrying intersecting light, a silvery glow illuminated the heavens and earth, suddenly descending and merging into the body of the tree of omniscience!

As the ball of light surged in,

the remaining three Tailed Beasts on the treetop also began to condense faster.

Starlight gathered, winds howled... In just a few minutes, all of them condensed!

Crack—

The membrane shattered, and three Tailed Beasts landed. A vast wave of life fluctuations spread, even forming three enormous phantoms in mid-air!

Like demon gods walking out of ancient times, carrying the power to destroy the world, they came to cleanse the civilization of this era!

..."As Sacred Terra spoke, the remaining three demonic beasts descended, bringing the baptism of doomsday!"

"Diamond Rank Creature — Seven-Tails 'Chomei', descends!"

"Closely following."

"The Eight-Tails then descended. As the second to last Tailed Beast to condense, it absorbed even more massive energy, successfully pushing it to break through the Diamond Rank peak!"

"Diamond Rank Creature — Eight-Tails 'Gyuki', descends!"

Boom—

The earth rumbled,

with the successive descent of the Seven-Tails and Eight-Tails, the land collapsed. The strength displayed by these two Legendary monsters was already enough to make the Nature Civilization feel despair.

But this was not the end; on the contrary, it was only just the beginning!

A roar, carrying the joy of escaping, and at the same time, containing a terrifying excitement!

The nine-tailed demon fox descended from high in the sky, its entire body enveloped in an orange-yellow aura. That was an energy coat formed by life energy that was too dense, overflowing from its body!

An aura even more terrifying than Gyuki emanated from it,

having clearly reached the Epic Rank level!

At the same time,

the moment the Nine-Tails descended,

in the distance, the Nature Civilization, which had just defeated the Six-Tails, had their cheers abruptly cease. A wave of fear surged into their hearts, their bodies trembling. Some people even knelt on the ground,

their pupils shaking, their faces filled with fear and bewilderment.

"What is this place?"

Someone asked in their heart, then gave a bitter laugh, shouting like a madman:

"I know! I understand! Everything is fake! It's fake!"

He frantically ran outside, pushing down those who tried to stop him, his eyes terrified, filled with a kind of fear and helplessness,

shaking his head incessantly, crying and laughing, pointing his finger at his former companions,

and said with a bitter smile:

"You are fake!"

Suddenly, he pointed at another person, "Hehe, you are fake too!"

"It's all fake! Everything is fake, only I am real, haha, I understand! I finally understand!"

The laughter abruptly stopped.

The madman's face was expressionless. The next moment, without any struggle, he stabbed a knife through his throat, blood gushing out and flowing all over the ground, staining the yellowish-brown earth red.

Lying on the ground, his face showed no fear, but rather a joyful sense of relief.

"Hehe, I'm fake too. This way, I can finally sober up. Then everything will return to normal..."

Muttering to himself,

he chose suicide in despair... "The end of civilization descended in the twelfth epoch."

"Three Tailed Beasts, among them, even an Epic Rank existence!"

"Despair... permeated the heart of every human. Even the Sages who had embarked on the path of nature felt their hands and feet turn cold in the face of such a situation."

"The Three Great Sages who had previously made a move, upon contact with the Nine-Tails, immediately spat out blood and were directly sent flying!"

"The three Tailed Beasts roared forward, their destination, surprisingly, was the place where the Six-Tails was sealed!"

"'We must not let the Six-Tails break free!'"

"The Three Great Sages quickly reached a consensus. The Slug Sage, relying on her massive body, actually corroded the ground, turning it into a valley filled with sharp spikes!"

"That wasn't all; along the way, she also scattered corrosive mucus deadly enough to kill."

"As for the White Snake Sage, he summoned his snake children and grandchildren. The snake swarm gathered in the valley, dense and terrifying to behold!"

"As the most powerful of the Three Great Sages, the Great Toad Sage,"

"exercised his prophetic talent, predicting the advancement routes of the three Tailed Beasts, and mobilized the entire Nature Civilization to fight, attempting to prevent the three Tailed Beasts' advance!"

"In the fifth millennium of the Nature Civilization's establishment, the War of Civilization erupted!"

"Centered on the struggle for the Six-Tails, the Nature Civilization and the three descending Tailed Beasts clashed, almost tearing the earth apart!"

"However."

"Even with the combined strength of the entire civilization, it was still difficult to contend with the Tailed Beasts, especially the power of the Nine-Tails, which was simply too terrifying."

"But often, in desperate situations, new hope also brews."

"A man with no talent for cultivation, who could only rely on primitive taijutsu, finally, after decades of arduous training, unearthed the limits of his body."

"He comprehended the great mysteries of the body, and based on this, created the ultimate taijutsu — the Eight Inner Gates Formation!"

"This man had no given name, only a surname."

"Named... Might!"
