In the beginning, when the world was born, many sentient beings, in their struggle for survival, occupied vast lands and began to kill each other. Back then, all creatures ate raw meat and drank blood. Even within the same species, they would devour each other's flesh and blood.
It was a dark age. Blood stained the entire land, and countless species exited the stage of history in this struggle for survival.
Under such circumstances, war, disasters, plagues… all sorts of natural and man-made calamities followed. At that time, living beings had only one thought in their minds: slaughter.
The collective thoughts of living beings are terrifying, beyond explanation.
Gradually, a being of wisdom, transcending other life forms, quietly took shape. Finally, one day, it fully materialized, with a ferocious face and boundless power.
The world called him… the Evil God!
He was not interested in women or power, but he particularly enjoyed watching slaughter. Under his control, a structure of nations formed by villages, engaged in continuous warfare.
He hid himself somewhere, secretly reveling in these scenes. Thus, a long time passed. However, not long ago, news of a newborn god in the Land of Ancestors reached his ears.
With a hint of curiosity and wariness, he came to the Land of Ancestors.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain. He was very satisfied with the current world, drenched in blood, but these two newcomers were bound to change everything.
Rumble~~
Two bolts of lightning, as black as ink, descended from the sky, crashing towards the most magnificent mansion in the Land of Ancestors. That was where Neji and the others lived, and it was also the shrine in the hearts of the people of the Land of Ancestors.
This was a probe. The Evil God had thought everything through. If the opponent was powerful, he would retreat. Otherwise, he would crush the threat in its cradle.
Whoosh!
When Neji saw the vast amount of bloody energy filling the sky, he knew who had arrived. He hated this person who had cornered him to this extent. A pure white Chakra cloak covered his body. As he shot up into the sky, several pure white large hands caught the lightning bolts in their grasp.
Bang!
Neji's extended hands crushed the lightning bolts into pieces. His actual body had already reached the Evil God. He lifted his foot and slammed it down towards the Evil God.
The Evil God made no superfluous movements. The moment his body was struck, it dissolved into a cloud of blood mist, then reformed behind Neji.
"You carry my scent. It's very strong."
The Evil God did not attack Neji while he had the chance. Instead, he stared at Neji with a hint of surprise and said,
"Of course. You really played a trick on me, didn't you? Wind Style: Wind Cutter!" Neji said angrily, clenching his fists. In mid-air, several wind blades spun and slashed towards the Evil God.
The Evil God casually waved his hand, and a ball of flames ignited before him. All the wind blades that entered the flames were burned to ashes.
Below, countless ordinary people watched this scene from above, filled with dread. When gods fight, mortals suffer.
In their eyes, this scene was more terrifying than a natural disaster, like the end of the world.
"We're doomed. This is a god's battle. This entire region won't be safe… Heaven wants to destroy us," an old woman trembled, her face filled with terror. She fearfully kowtowed and knelt, her face ashen.
"Fake, fake, it's all fake. Nothing will remain, nothing will remain!" A man, seeing this, acted crazed. He soon fainted.
Some people prayed, hoping the two gods above would move elsewhere or stop fighting. But clearly, their prayers were not heard.
Bang!
Neji used his powerful Gentle Fist, Swift Step, and the Eight Gates together. He finally matched the Evil God in terms of strength. After a brief collision, the repulsive force between them condensed to the extreme, instantly blasting them apart, sending them flying in opposite directions.
"You seem to know me." The Evil God stood with his hands behind his back. A smile, more pathetic than crying, appeared on his bloody, distorted face.
"Nonsense, quickly send me back!" Bundles of white light shot from Neji's fingertips, but they were blocked by an invisible wall of wind just before reaching the Evil God's face.
Evil God: "??? What are you saying? Never mind, I'll play with you properly."
The Evil God made a cut on his arm, drawing out his own flesh piece by piece, which then flew towards Neji.
"So disgusting!" Neji instantly appeared behind the Evil God. His two pure white Chakra hands clasped together and slammed down hard towards the Evil God's head.
Boom!
The Evil God, head down and feet up, crashed into a small mountain. The terrifying force exploded through his body, leveling more than half of the mountain in an instant.
"What was that just now?"
The Evil God flew from the ground into the sky again. His usually calm face finally showed a trace of shock.
He was formed from the collective thoughts of living beings. From birth, he controlled seven Chakra elements. He could freely manipulate these powers for offense and defense, but this was the first time he had seen such skillful application as Neji's.
"I'm very curious about you. Come with me for a while."
The Evil God grinned sinisterly, turning his entire body into black lightning. Before Neji could react, he appeared beside Neji. However, when the Evil God's kick landed, Neji suddenly transformed into a log. The real Neji had already appeared behind him.
Substitution Jutsu!
Facing those who didn't understand jutsu, even the lowliest jutsus were effective. But whether they could land a hit was another matter.
For example, Neji, who had just appeared behind the Evil God, was keenly sensed. After their fists collided, the Evil God's feet remained in place, while Neji was forced to retreat.
"Those things you use are very interesting."
As Neji stabilized himself, the Evil God had already reached him. Ice flowed on one of his feet, transforming into sharp spikes that lunged towards Neji.
Just as Neji was about to use his ethereal form to dodge, a repulsive force suddenly emanated from the side, directly sending the Evil God flying. The Evil God's arm was crushed by this repulsive force, turning into blood mist.
Neji looked towards the source of the power and saw a Byakugan girl floating in the air, veins bulging around her eyes, exuding a heroic spirit.
"Neji, are you alright?" The girl quickly flew over, looking at Neji with concern.
"No, I'm fine." Neji looked at the approaching girl, his eyes filled with surprise. That feeling he just had, it couldn't be wrong.
"Interesting." The Evil God looked at his severed arm, feeling a pain he had never experienced before, intensifying his curiosity.
"Perhaps I can capture these two and keep them, to pass the time in the future," the Evil God thought to himself.
He chuckled lightly. His severed arm rapidly reformed, solidifying at his will. Under his command, the extremely dense blood energy from his body transformed into two withered, branch-like, terrifying hands, which lunged towards the two.
Neji stepped beside the girl. Two more pure white giant palms surged from his Chakra cloak, meeting the two terrifying hands.
