Chapter 158: Triton, God of the Oceanic Males

Feng Zhe flew directly into the celestial realm accompanied by three Gold Saints. The moment they entered hyperspace, Athena's Cosmo, which had been guiding their direction, suddenly vanished, plunging the four of them into an endless void in an instant.

Even the ninth sense of Cosmo could not be awakened, and the entrance to the alternate dimension remained imperceptible.

They could only let their souls drift endlessly through the infinite void.

Suddenly, a vast and profound Cosmo enveloped the four of them. It was none other than Julian, the Sea Emperor, who had been following closely behind.

"Follow me!"

The Sea Emperor's Cosmo wrapped around the four figures, carrying them directly out of hyperspace.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Feng Zhe felt as if he had finally come back to life.

He cast a grateful look at Julian, the Sea Emperor, who was currently looking up at the ocean suspended in the sky, making it feel as though they were deep beneath the sea.

"This is the Sea Pavilion Domain!"

The Sea Emperor's explanation made Feng Zhe instantly realize that he had bypassed the Rainbow Staircase and arrived straight at the Sea Pavilion Domain.

It seemed that following the Sea Emperor was far better than following Athena; at least he would not treat his subordinates poorly.

Of course, this was merely a malicious speculation.

Guarding the Sea Pavilion Domain was the Third Apostle, Triton, the God of Sea-Daimons.

As one of the Four Divine Emperors, the Third Apostle was far more powerful than the other apostles, and the tremors of distant combat at that moment served as proof of this.

Aries Mu immediately cried out, "The one fighting the God of Sea-Daimons is Cygnus Hyoga!"

"Let's hurry over!"

Astonished, Aiolia leaped forward immediately, followed closely by the other two.

Just as Feng Zhe was about to leave, he was called back by Julian, the Sea Emperor.

"Feng Zhe, I would like to ask you for a favor. Would that be acceptable?"

"Hmm? Please go ahead."

Feng Zhe noticed a hint of evasiveness in Julian's eyes as the latter stealthily produced a damaged Cloth.

Feng Zhe's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in shock, "The Altar Cloth!"

"This is the Altar Cloth that existed within the Marine realm. It was by borrowing its power that I was able to awaken with a human soul."

The secrets of the gods were never shared with others, especially since Feng Zhe was the Pope of Sanctuary and his faith fundamentally belonged to Athena.

"I need a pathway to the Demon Realm. I wonder if I can trade it with you. I can offer this in exchange!"

With that, Julian drew a ball of oceanic fire from within his body—a sacred flame exclusive to the Sea Emperor.

The moment Feng Zhe touched it, a piece of information flashed into his mind.

[Ding! The sacred flame contains a complete timeline.]

"Naruto!"

Feng Zhe's heart surged with intense excitement. He never expected to encounter the Demon Realm passage of the Naruto world here, and a complete one at that, complete with an unbroken timeline.

With this timeline, Feng Zhe could personally enter the world of Naruto, participate in battles under the identity of a native, and acquire divinity from the shadows.

Without a second thought, Feng Zhe retrieved a Demon Realm teleportation passage from his robes.

Among the passages Feng Zhe possessed were those for Bleach, Akame ga Kill!, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, A Certain Scientific Railgun, and InuYasha.

However, those Demon Realm passages were merely isolated temporal fragments, offering relatively limited content and failing to form a complete timeline.

For someone like Feng Zhe who sought to ascend to godhood, they were somewhat like tasteless chicken ribs—useless to keep, yet a pity to discard.

This was also the reason why Feng Zhe had hesitated to enter them for so long.

"You really do have a Demon Realm passage!"

Julian, the Sea Emperor, was overjoyed, and the two immediately completed the exchange.

Feng Zhe obtained the complete timeline of the Naruto world, while Julian acquired six worlds where he could temporarily reside.

[Ding! Obtained the complete timeline of the Naruto World. You may enter directly!]

Unconsciously, Feng Zhe's eyes transformed into the two-tomoe Sharingan. He thought to himself, As long as I can enter the Naruto world, my Sharingan will be able to evolve as well.

...

Meanwhile

Aries Mu, Leo Aiolia, and Scorpio Milo rushed all the way to Triton, the God of Sea-Daimons, only to discover that Cygnus Hyoga had already been frozen into an ice coffin.

Gazing at his own masterpiece, Triton said dismissively, "This is a freezing frost that transcends absolute zero; even the gods cannot undo it."

"Hyoga!"

Aiolia shouted out to Hyoga, while Aries Mu felt Hyoga's Cosmo rapidly draining away. The moment his Cosmo vanished completely would be the moment of his death.

"We must end this battle quickly, or Hyoga will be in danger!"

Mu's words made Aiolia and Milo realize the gravity of the situation.

Starlight Extinction!!

Scarlet Needle!!

Lightning Plasma!!

Each of the three top Gold Saints erupted with their maximum Cosmo, and three massive forces unexpectedly converged, launching a joint attack.

Aries Mu's Starlight Extinction was inherited from the previous generation's Aries Shion. When released, it resembled falling stars; it was precisely by relying on this move that Shion had survived the previous Holy War.

Scorpio Milo's Scarlet Needle originated from the Crimson Hornet, launching all fifteen needles simultaneously, and had even defeated Eurynome, one of the Three Knights, in a previous battle.

Leo Aiolia's Lightning Plasma, having been elevated to the ninth sense, resembled a dense and intricate net that firmly trapped the opponent within its light-speed punches—the hallmark of absolute kingship.

Triton, the God of Sea-Daimons, let out a thunderous shout.

Raging Ocean Spiral Arrow!!!

In an instant, a colossal vortex formed across the sky and sea, its apex spinning into a razor-sharp spike that pierced forward, colliding head-on with the ultimate techniques of the three Gold Saints.

The three Gold Saints cried out in unison, "What?!"

Instantly, the three Gold Saints were blasted to the ground, all sustaining injuries simultaneously.

Boasting proudly, Triton declared, "I have been in the celestial realm for several millennia and received guidance from Zeus itself. My strength today is far beyond comparison with those Thirteen Apostles."

The three Gold Saints knew full well that staying here any longer would likely mean a one-way trip, especially with Hyoga's life reaching its final moments.

Then, with Aries Mu in the center, and Scorpio Milo and Leo Aiolia on his left and right, the three simultaneously assumed the formation of the Trinity.

Triton sneered, "I heard Athena possesses a forbidden technique, but I witnessed that move as far back as the Mythological Era."

"You are already heavily wounded. If you truly use this technique, your physical bodies will likely disintegrate first."

"Even if we die, we will drag you down to hell with us!"

The three elite Gold Saints had long since prepared themselves for death. At this moment, they held no other thoughts; they wished only to drag him down into mutual destruction.

Athena Exclamation!!

Raging Ocean Spiral Arrow!!

Two ultra-powerful forces clashed violently within the Sea Pavilion Domain, and large sections of architecture were instantly destroyed by the intense shockwave.

The entire sky seemed to grow dim and lifeless under the weight of this single technique.

Following that, the physical bodies of the three Gold Saints dissolved into nothingness under the impact of the blow.

Conversely, Triton, the God of Sea-Daimons, remained completely unharmed, muttering dismissively that they had overestimated their capabilities.

Crack!
With a crisp sound, a corner of the celestial armor worn by Triton shattered.

Crash!!
The ice coffin encasing Hyoga suddenly fractured. Hyoga emerged from the shattered ice and crashed heavily onto the ground.

As it turned out, the energy from the Athena Exclamation, while attacking Triton, had been influenced by a light resembling the sun, rendering the ice coffin exceptionally fragile. Relying on his final ounce of strength, Hyoga had smashed his way out of the ice.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Just as Triton raised his hand to finish off Hyoga, two powerful Cosmos suddenly descended.

Taking a closer look, Triton saw that one of them belonged to Poseidon, the Sea Emperor.

And the other belonged to Feng Zhe, the Pope of Sanctuary.

Having hurriedly completed their exchange of the Demon Realm passage and rushed to the scene, the two men arrived only to discover the deaths of the three elite Gold Saints. In an instant, Feng Zhe's face darkened completely.
