Chapter 510: Limbo: Border Jail

Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Limbo: Border Jail

The instant the dazzling golden sword came slashing down, Kagami’s vision suddenly flickered.

It was as though some change had occurred—something so elusive that even his Tenseigan had difficulty capturing it.

And yet, the sensation transmitted through the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion in his hand unmistakably told him that he had struck something.

BOOM!

The golden sword descended in an instant and carved into the ground. Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, a ravine stretching several hundred meters appeared across the earth.

The ground trembled as dust and debris surged into the sky!

And this was only because Kagami had deliberately compressed the length of the golden sword in order to increase the power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Otherwise, that single strike alone could have easily carved a trench several thousand meters long into the earth.

Amid the dust filling the sky, Kagami’s gaze sharpened and his brows furrowed.

He had definitely struck something just now.

There was no mistaking that sensation.

Moreover, whatever he had struck had been extraordinarily sturdy. Even the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion he had unleashed using nine Truth-Seeking Balls had taken some effort to cut through and shatter it.

Yet there wasn’t even the slightest trace of Nagato’s remains in front of him.

Something was wrong!

Beneath the demon-faced mask, Kagami’s sapphire-blue Tenseigan gleamed with a magnificent radiance as he searched through the impenetrable cloud of dust for Nagato’s figure.

His instincts told him—

the threat was still there!

Not far away, Nagato was kneeling on the ground, his chest heaving violently like a bellows.

Just now, he had felt death standing right before him.

Had he been even an instant slower, he was certain that his body would already have been sliced in two by the golden sword in Yama’s hand.

No—

It would have been completely cut to pieces!

The reason Nagato was so certain that even his Sage Body could not have withstood Yama’s sword strike was simple.

One of his Limbo clones had already been destroyed by that very slash.

Just now, at that critical instant, Nagato had switched places with one of the Limbo clones hidden in the shadows, brushing past death by the narrowest of margins and barely escaping Kagami’s Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

"Damn it! That technique of his must be a Kekkei Tota formed from the combination of three chakra nature transformations!"

Nagato spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly rose to his feet.

After transplanting the First Hokage’s cells and elevating his Sage Body, Nagato had gained even more of the Power of All Creation. The new dojutsu he had awakened as a result was—

Limbo: Border Jail!

Limbo: Border Jail was a Rinnegan dojutsu unique to the pair of Rinnegan currently residing in Nagato’s eye sockets.

Upon activating Limbo: Border Jail, Nagato could use the supreme ocular power of the Rinnegan to create an alternate dimension known as Limbo, one that overlapped with the shinobi world.

This Limbo dimension was like a narrow space folded into the shinobi world itself.

It could actively interfere with the shinobi world, yet the shinobi within the real world had to meet certain stringent conditions before they could even perceive its existence.

At the same time that the Limbo dimension was created, Nagato would gain four Limbo clones within it, each possessing strength almost identical to his true body.

Like shadow clones, these clones could be controlled by Nagato to attack enemies or defend against incoming attacks. Furthermore, Nagato’s true body could freely switch positions with any of the four Limbo clones.

Through this exchange, his true body could effectively achieve a form of spatial displacement.

That was precisely how Nagato had avoided Kagami’s lethal surprise attack just now.

And in terms of pure defensive ability, these four Limbo clones were actually even stronger than Nagato’s true body.

That was exactly why, after Yama destroyed one of his Limbo clones with a single sword strike, Nagato immediately understood that if Yama’s attack had struck his true body instead, he would undoubtedly have died.

After all, if even a Limbo clone couldn’t withstand that attack, then there was a nine-in-ten chance that his true body wouldn’t be able to withstand it either.

Within just a few breaths, Kagami located Nagato amid the dust and debris filling the air.

"How did he dodge that?"

In that instant, the question flashed through Kagami’s mind.

Nagato shouldn’t have been able to dodge that surprise attack.

And Kagami was certain that what he had struck just now hadn’t been one of Nagato’s shadow clones. An ordinary shadow clone could never have produced such a solid sensation when struck by a Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion powered by nine Truth-Seeking Balls.

Just as Kagami peered through the cloud of dust toward Nagato, Nagato also locked his gaze onto Kagami.

The dust filling the sky was utterly incapable of obstructing the perception of the Tenseigan and Rinnegan. Even within the dense cloud where one could barely see a hand in front of their face, the interference it caused these two was extremely limited.

Suddenly, Kagami sensed two faint, shadowy figures rushing toward him from both sides.

"What are those?!"

Kagami was immediately startled.

Even with his Tenseigan operating at full power, he could barely make them out!

In the next instant, the two shadowy figures lunged at him and attacked.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of muffled impacts rang out as fists and feet collided.

Kagami rapidly retreated, then abruptly swung the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion in his hand, only just managing to force the two shadowy figures back.

Even now, he still hadn’t been able to clearly see what the hell those two shadows actually were.

But there was one thing he understood perfectly.

Their strength was absurdly immense, completely disproportionate to their size, and their speed was equally astonishing. Fighting them felt almost like going up against a rampaging Tailed Beast!

After only a brief exchange of attacks and defenses, even Kagami, while in Tenseigan Chakra Mode, could already feel an intense soreness spreading through both arms.

One had to understand that after entering Tenseigan Chakra Mode, his strength and speed were both dramatically enhanced.

Nagato’s expression changed.

"He can see my Limbo clones?!"

Kagami was secretly alarmed, but on the other side, Nagato was even more shocked—far more shocked than Kagami was!

Because the Limbo clones existed within the alternate dimension known as the Limbo dimension, which overlapped with the shinobi world, under normal circumstances, shinobi within the real world could neither see nor sense Nagato’s Limbo clones.

Only those who possessed the Rinnegan, or those who had mastered senjutsu, could see or perceive Nagato’s Limbo clones.

Kagami possessed neither the Rinnegan nor senjutsu.

However, in terms of perceptive ability, his Tenseigan was in no way inferior to the Rinnegan. Although he couldn’t see Nagato’s Limbo clones as clearly as the Rinnegan—which belonged to the same ocular system—he could still barely perceive their existence.

And Nagato understood better than anyone why his Limbo clones were so powerful.

Aside from their various mysterious abilities, the most crucial factor was that other people couldn’t see or sense them.

Enemies that could neither be seen nor sensed were already deadly enough even without any other extraordinary abilities.

But if someone could see or perceive them, then the threat posed by the Limbo clones would inevitably be greatly diminished.

Especially when that someone was a powerhouse standing at the very pinnacle of the shinobi world—

someone like Yama.

At that moment, an absurd thought suddenly surfaced in Nagato’s mind.

Perhaps Yama was his natural nemesis...
