"Old man, are you satisfied with the current situation?" Indra muttered to himself in front of the shrine, then said viciously, "But I, Indra, will not accept this so easily. Although I am about to die, I will fight Asura for all eternity until I defeat him. Old man, you just watch. I will prove that only absolute power can bring peace to the world!" With that, Indra coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Is it almost time?" Indra wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then turned to look at Asura. He sneered, "Asura, don't look at me like a victor. Let me tell you, I, Indra, have not lost yet. If I have not defeated you in this life, I will definitely kill you in the next!"
Turning back to look at the floor in the center of the shrine, Indra formed a simple hand seal. The floor instantly appeared with a pattern of the Rinnegan with nine tomoe, splitting in the middle to reveal a small oval groove. Without hesitation, Indra dug out the only remaining Rinnegan with nine tomoe and placed it in the groove. Soon, the floor closed up again, burying the Rinnegan. Indra began to form hand seals, and a strange energy gathered around him.
The seal was very complicated and took several minutes to complete. As soon as the seal was finished, a burst of white light erupted from the pattern, and an immeasurable power of vision emanated from it. Tian Qi was quite close, and he felt a sense of familiarity. While he was overjoyed, he quickly suppressed his impulse.
It turns out that the foundation for that space-time tunnel was Indra's Rinnegan with nine tomoe. I knew it! How could a space-time tunnel appear in the ninja world for no reason? This tunnel can still be used even after a thousand years. It seems that Indra used a very amazing barrier technique! Tian Qi was very shocked at this moment, and at the same time, he became interested in the Rinnegan.
"I, Ōtsutsuki Indra, swear by this Rinnegan that no matter how many times I am reborn, I will fight Ōtsutsuki Ashura to the death!" After making this vow of eternal enmity, Indra inserted the Ame-no-Murakumo sword into the pattern of the nine-tomoe Rinnegan.
"Asura, I'm going down there to wait for you. Don't keep me waiting too long! Hahaha!!!" Two lines of bloody tears streamed from Indra's empty eyes. After laughing loudly, without any hesitation, Indra used his last bit of strength to sever his heart meridian and end his life.
Indra preferred suicide to dying at the hands of the Asuras. Rather than living a few more days, he preferred to end his own life. It was because of this thought that Indra ended his life without hesitation. However, he did not fall down. Even in death, he remained standing and did not want to fall.
"Ancestor...!"
"Anisa!" Seeing Indra's death, Ashura's eyes also shed two lines of hot tears. No matter how Indra changed, they were still brothers. When Ashura was young, he was a good-for-nothing. He was always in danger because he had no strength. Indra would always stand up for him and help him out. When he encountered difficulties in his cultivation, Indra would teach him, care for him, and encourage him. All of this was his most beautiful memory.
"Ancestor, go in peace!" Tianqi came to Indra's side and gently touched Indra's empty eye sockets, making him close his eyes.
He then turned to Ashura and said, “It is because of the death of our ancestor that two families of the same lineage have started a thousand-year-long war. Countless people have died in this thousand-year war. My father and your descendant were originally the best of friends. The leaders of the two descendants could have been each other’s confidants. But because my uncle died at the hands of your descendant, they became enemies, which also led my father down the path of darkness. All of this originated from you, Ashura. Killing your son can be considered even with the death of my uncle. But I cannot pretend that I did not see the death of our ancestor Indra. How are you going to explain this to me, Ashura Otsutsuki!”
Tianqi squinted at Ashura. To be honest, he didn't want to do anything to Ashura, but as a descendant of Indra, he had to speak up at this moment.
"I do have an inescapable responsibility towards your father, uncle, and Indra. You don't need to lift a finger; I will give you an explanation myself. However, there is something else I need your help with beforehand. Consider it a dying man's request: release the tailed beasts from my body and give them freedom. This is my final request!" After saying this, Ashura closed his eyes, spread his hands, and quietly awaited death. Originally, he wouldn't die immediately after the tailed beasts were extracted, but his current physical condition was simply unable to withstand the extraction of the tailed beasts' power. He estimated that once the tailed beasts were extracted, his life would immediately come to an end.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll grant your wish. After this incident, the grudges between my family and your descendants will be wiped clean!" Tian Qi said it was his own family, but he didn't mention the Uchiha clan, descendants of Indra. He was just an individual and couldn't make the decision for his deceased Uchiha ancestors.
With the Rinnegan activated, the time seal within Ashura's body was broken, and the nine tailed beasts were slowly pulled out.
"Indra-san...!" As the last tailed beast was pulled out, Ashura called out Indra's name, a relieved smile on his lips, and slowly closed his eyes. The leader of the Ninja Clan was gone just like that.
"It's all over!" Tian Qi sighed. The two overlords of different eras had ended their reigns just like that. After a moment of reflection, Tian Qi looked at the corpses of Indra and Asura. The Six Paths Bloodline was a valuable treasure.
"I'm sorry, my two Otsutsuki ancestors!" After apologizing, Tian Qi's pupils shrank slightly. Using the absorption ability of the Rinnegan, he extracted the power of Indra and Ashura. Whether it was Yin-Yang power or life energy, whether it was useful or not, Tian Qi absorbed it all. After draining the energy of the two overlords of the era, the corpses of Ashura and Indra turned into ashes and completely disappeared from this world.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!" Having absorbed the power of Indra and Asura, Tian Qi's body was filled with energy, and his strength, which was originally only 60%, had reached 120%. Not only had his strength been restored, but it had even been improved.
"Hehe, what an unexpected surprise! Not only have I regained my strength, but I've also improved! Hahaha!" Seeing that he had finally improved again after so many years, Tianqi laughed loudly. After laughing for a while, he looked at the nine tailed beasts.
"The tailed beasts nowadays are really small, not nearly as big as they are in later generations!" Looking at the tailed beasts that were only a few dozen meters in size, Tian Qi kept his promise and with a wave of his hand, a ball of light surrounded the still small tailed beasts, scattering them all over the world and giving them their freedom.
