"Almost died, this brat!"
Uchiha Madara looked at his tattered body with extreme displeasure, his eyes filled with gloom.
In a single blow, the power was terrifying.
Madara had never seen this move before, but he knew that Lin Nan's Susano'o was merely a copy of his own.
However, this move was clearly superior to his own Susano'o.
In other words, Susano'o was just the cannon, and Lin Nan's main objective was actually the cannonball. Others might not understand, but Uchiha Madara knew very well.
With that sword strike, Lin Nan had continuously injected Yin-Yang Release into the great sword, achieving the immense feat of enveloping the entire world with it.
Simply put, Lin Nan had just created a hollow, gigantic Truth-Seeking Orb.
Even so, this move, both in its visual impact and the power it generated, was enough to surpass any ninjutsu.
Fortunately, Uchiha Madara's speed and reaction time were fast enough; otherwise, he would have been instantly annihilated without a trace.
What was the use of the Sage Body if, after being reduced to powder, it would still return to dust?
In just a few blinks, Uchiha Madara's tattered, paper-thin body began to recover, much like the Ten-Tails wriggling. This was the Sage Body's incredible vitality.
Essentially, as long as the head wasn't struck, the Sage Body couldn't die.
While Uchiha Madara hadn't fully recovered, Lin Nan had already begun to move again.
He manipulated Susano'o, flapping its wings and soaring into the air, his forty-meter-long black great sword once again hacking towards Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara dodged it with great agility.
He's not using that move again?
It seems the chakra consumption for that move is enormous, and he won't be able to use it again for a while.
After all, it's not a perfect Sage Body!
Uchiha Madara sneered, and the next moment, he stopped dodging. Turning around, he unleashed countless purple lightning bolts with both hands.
The lightning covered a vast area, almost as if it would engulf the entire massive Susano'o in the next second.
"Sage Art, Yin Lightning Style!"
Lin Nan swung his great sword, blocking the entire expanse of purple lightning.
Because the great sword was a manifestation of the Truth-Seeking Orb, the purple lightning had no effect on it.
"Sage Art, Yang Style: Healing!"
Seizing this opportunity, Uchiha Madara waved his hand and once again used his Yang Style healing jutsu on himself.
Although Uchiha Madara possessed the Sage Body and his recovery speed was extremely fast, it was still too slow in a battle like this.
Therefore, he chose to directly use Yang Style chakra to accelerate his recovery.
On the other side, Lin Nan had broken free from the purple lightning and was once again pursuing Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara had actually considered continuing his "talk no jutsu," but it was clear that both sides had reached a point of no return.
Uchiha Madara was an extremely proud person. Since that was the case, he might as well go for a mutual destruction.
Moreover, he was extremely confident in himself.
Lin Nan's chakra reserves were still a weakness after his revival, even with the Ten-Tails' chakra, and an incomplete Sage Body.
He even had the Nine-Tails' chakra and Hashirama's cells before.
But one must remember that all the jutsu Uchiha Madara unleashed consumed a massive amount of chakra.
An imperfect Sage Body simply couldn't withstand it.
Uchiha Madara had previously worried about Lin Nan stealing his abilities, but now it seemed unimportant.
Let him steal if he wants. Uchiha Madara's plan was to exhaust Lin Nan to death with his own seemingly bottomless well of chakra.
Enjoying the Susano'o, are you?
What will you do when your chakra runs out!
Uchiha Madara sneered repeatedly and, the next moment, summoned all his Limbo: Hell clones to his side.
Previously, his Limbo clones had been hindered by Lin Nan's Limbo clones, so they hadn't had much of a presence. When he performed Limbo: Swap, he would even be attacked by Lin Nan's Limbo clones.
But that was different now.
Uchiha Madara was going to go head-to-head with Lin Nan!
Limbo: Border Prison, this move was a unique ability of the Sharingan, and only its true owner, Uchiha Madara, could unleash it.
There were a total of four shadows, visible only to the Sharingan, perceivable by the Sage Body, and undetectable by any mortal means.
And this move, besides its element of surprise, was that the four shadows possessed the full power of the original body.
This was equivalent to having five Uchiha Madaras on the battlefield.
One had been sealed by Lin Nan with the Truth-Seeking Orb earlier, so even now, there were four Uchiha Madaras.
After summoning the Limbo shadows, Uchiha Madara formed a hand seal.
"Sage Art, Scorching Release: Great Igniting!"
Lin Nan, through his Rinnegan, saw clearly that the four Uchiha Madaras stood in different positions, all releasing Sage chakra.
Lin Nan could even see the natural energy around them being instantly cleared and feel the scorching air.
The Limbo shadows didn't linger for too long. After unleashing the Sage Art, they rejoined the fray, clashing with Lin Nan's approaching shadow.
It is worth mentioning here that while Lin Nan's Limbo clones possessed the full power of the original body, their chakra consumption was less.
Uchiha Madara, as a Sage Body, could allocate infinite chakra to his shadows, but Lin Nan couldn't.
So, strictly speaking, Lin Nan's shadow and Uchiha Madara's shadow were only evenly matched.
And Uchiha Madara's summoning of the shadows earlier was merely to unleash a Sage Art.
Lin Nan's expression was somewhat grave, but he didn't hesitate. His great sword continued to hack towards Uchiha Madara.
In fact, Uchiha Madara was right. His chakra had been depleted after using that so-called "Great Dark Heaven," but unfortunately, it hadn't killed Uchiha Madara.
Only Lin Nan knew how much chakra he had unleashed in that instant through Susano'o as a vessel to perform that move.
Fortunately, his chakra recovered quickly. Although not as fast as the Reanimation Jutsu, the efficiency was much higher than in his normal state, as he was, after all, a Sage Body.
And that move could only be used again when his chakra was replenished, as it was Lin Nan's current highest probability skill to kill Uchiha Madara.
During the interim, he could only choose to use Susano'o to find an opportunity.
However, Uchiha Madara's speed was too great for Lin Nan's great sword to keep up with.
Moreover, during this period, Lin Nan felt the temperature rising, and even he, with his Sage Body within Susano'o, could feel the stifling heat.
Glancing around, Lin Nan discovered that a large area seemed to be enveloped by a special barrier.
It was similar to the Four Crimson Stars Formation.
So, this was the Sage Art that Uchiha Madara had unleashed earlier?
He hadn't seen it in the original work.
Could it be that he created it on the spot?
