Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 373 Determination

When Xiang Jianan finally began his preparations, he was utterly helpless. He wasn't a soul naturally born from this world; from the beginning, he was destined to face the world's resistance and rejection. The reason he had been able to live peacefully in this world in the past was simply because the world's will hadn't deliberately mobilized its full power to expel him; moreover, the mysterious and unpredictable Qiankun Jade helped conceal his aura, allowing him to barely maintain the status quo. But now, the world's will had suddenly changed its attitude, openly opposing him. With his current meager power, he was far from being able to withstand the world's will's immense pressure!

However, Hyuga Kanan did not give up easily; his indomitable fighting spirit burned even brighter. At this moment, he was like an enraged lion, exerting every ounce of power within his body. Not only that, he also began to utilize the energy he had rapidly accumulated over the years without hesitation.

In an instant, a massive amount of energy surged forth like a burst dam. This incredibly powerful energy intertwined and converged, ultimately coalescing into a colossal, earth-shattering current. This current swirled and danced around Hyuga Kanan's body with overwhelming force, like a ferocious dragon baring its fangs and claws to protect its master.

Faced with this breathtaking scene, even the will of the world was shaken. At this moment, Hyuga Kanan stood like an impregnable fortress, his entire being focused on this life-or-death battle. He knew this might be his last chance; only by giving it his all could he possibly turn the tide and secure a sliver of hope. Therefore, he clenched his fists, his eyes fixed resolutely ahead, prepared for a desperate, all-or-nothing fight.

Hyuga Kanan radiated a dazzling light, like a blazing sun, brilliant and radiant. His body was like a surging ocean, containing boundless and limitless energy. This energy, like a violent torrent, surged ceaselessly through his meridians, creating towering waves.

As this powerful energy surged, the surrounding air was violently churned, emitting a low hum. As if summoned by some mysterious force, it converged, forming invisible ripples of air visible to the naked eye. These ripples spread rapidly outwards, causing the void itself to tremble slightly in their wake.

Each ripple of air carried unparalleled power, like one of nature's most terrifying forces—a raging torrent! They surged into the distance with overwhelming force, fearlessly displaying Hyuga Kanan's unwavering faith and determination to the entire world. This awe-inspiring and breathtaking scene left everyone in awe.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Kanan had made all the necessary preparations to avoid being rejected by the world's will. However, before that, he wouldn't simply surrender and be expelled; instead, he was prepared to fight against the world's will. He was still very unwilling to give up the fruits of so many years of hard work so easily.

Since the day his memories returned, Hyuga Kanan has never stopped his training. He knows the road ahead is rugged and full of unknown dangers and challenges, but this is not a reason for him to back down. On the contrary, he has become even more determined to devote himself to his daily rigorous training, because he understands that only in this way can he possess enough power to withstand the many difficulties that are about to come.

At this moment, as the anticipated hardships and obstacles truly arrived, Hyuga Kanan felt no fear or trepidation. However, deep within him, a faint sense of resentment stirred. If he had been given more precious time, given his astonishing rate of growth, he would undoubtedly have become even more outstanding and confident in facing the immense pressure exerted by the world's will. Unfortunately, reality often falls short of expectations.

Even so, Hyuga Kanan's unwavering resolve remained steadfast. He knew that life's path was never smooth sailing, and that setbacks and hardships were inevitable parts of growth. Since fate had thrust him into the limelight, he would rely on his indomitable will and unyielding spirit to bravely face this life-or-death test! No matter what storms the future held, he firmly believed he would overcome all obstacles and forge ahead!

Faced with Hyuga Kanan unleashing his full power, everyone in the training ground was startled by his overwhelming and terrifying aura. They could all sense that Hyuga Kanan's overwhelming power was still rising, seemingly without end. Even the defensive array and barrier that Hyuga Kanan had meticulously set up in the training ground were shaking constantly, as if they might be completely shattered by this power at any moment.

At the same time, everyone in the cultivation area turned their gaze towards the mountain peak. The terrifying aura made it extremely difficult for them to move, and they could only stand still and wait for the final result.

However, those who had achieved significant cultivation, though still able to move with difficulty, felt an immense, overwhelming pressure. This was especially true for Hyuga Neji and Orochimaru, who were on the verge of breakthroughs, their senses becoming increasingly acute.

They all clearly sensed that Hyuga Kanan was fighting against something unknown. It was an existence they had never encountered or witnessed before. Through their powerful soul energy, all they could detect were countless dazzling and mysterious fluctuations, which converged into a surging torrent, sweeping towards Hyuga Kanan like a tidal wave.

They could even perceive, with unmistakable clarity, the power of the rules they were diligently studying and comprehending within the surging torrent, only this power was far more vast and boundless, reaching a state of flawless perfection. It was as if the power of rules contained within that torrent was the very origin and essence of all rules in the world. Faced with such a terrifying and horrifying impact, could Hyuga Kanan emerge unscathed? Or what astonishing methods would he employ to withstand this unprecedented challenge? Everyone watched with bated breath, filled with trepidation, as the situation unfolded.

Orochimaru's face was filled with a mixture of excitement and fear. He never imagined that humans could become so powerful after embarking on the path of cultivation. Nor did he expect Hyuga Kanan to be so strong, whose mere aura rendered them, even from such a distance, utterly powerless.

However, what truly instilled fear in Orochimaru and the others was not merely the powerful aura emanating from Hyuga Kanan, but rather the mysterious entity that confronted and even gained the upper hand against him. At this moment, Hyuga Neji and the others had already made a general assessment, understanding the true nature of this mysterious power. They clearly understood that if they wished to advance to a higher level, they would inevitably encounter numerous obstacles from this mysterious being.

The scene before them was utterly breathtaking! Such a flawless system of rules, and the surging, boundless power of those rules—aside from the World Will that Hyuga Kanan had once mentioned, it was difficult to find any other terrifying existence in the world so chilling. It was as if the entire world was under its control, and all living beings trembled under its majesty. And those of them who dared to challenge higher realms would undoubtedly become the focal point of this invisible contest.

Faced with such a powerful and terrifying being, Orochimaru and Neji Hyuga couldn't help but feel despair. But at the same time, a strong fighting spirit quietly ignited in their hearts. Since they couldn't escape, their only option was to bravely confront the enemy and do everything in their power to explore the secrets of the path to the peak.

At this moment, Hyuga Kanan felt as if he were in the middle of a huge, turbulent river. He was like an unyielding rock, holding firm to his position no matter how the violent current crashed against him.

A continuous stream of power from the rules converged into an incomparably powerful torrent, sweeping towards Hyuga Kanan with overwhelming force. This torrent contained boundless power and majesty, each impact as awe-inspiring as a thunderbolt. However, facing such a ferocious offensive, Hyuga Kanan showed no intention of retreating.

He gritted his teeth, his muscles tensed, and concentrated his will to the extreme. He knew that if he relaxed even slightly, he would be swallowed up by this terrifying torrent without a trace. So he fought back fiercely, engaging in a breathtaking battle with the surging power of the rules.

In this life-or-death battle, Hyuga Kanan displayed extraordinary courage and perseverance. With unwavering faith and an indomitable spirit, he built an impregnable defense, withstanding wave after wave of the force of the rules. Although his clothes were soaked with sweat and he was utterly exhausted, he gritted his teeth and refused to give up. He knew that only by persevering could he overcome his current predicament and usher in the dawn of victory.

Just as Hyuga Kanan gritted his teeth, preparing to make a desperate gamble by unleashing his deepest, most hidden trump card, the surging torrent of power of rules, which had been sweeping in like a tidal wave, abruptly stopped as if choked by an invisible hand! Not only that, this incomparably powerful force began to dissipate and disappear at an astonishing speed, as if it had never existed in this world at all, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a silent void that left everyone speechless.
