Chapter 174 - Final Match and Piece of Luck (Patreon)

And before Ōtsutsuki Yakou realized what was happening properly, he was locked in the finals against the Champion of the Pale Bloods, Black Eclipse Princess, Altrouge Brunestud, who was the holder of the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunnestud.

Yakou had to admit that the fight was getting harder right from the start because the moment the duel started, it made the situation far more complicated than Yakou had initially predicted.

Not only that, but she also started using her Magic and Blood Manipulation Abilities to push him around, to which he was forced to reply with the Dao of Dust and Dust Release that was destroying most of her attacks directed at him.

Certainly, the profound usage of the Dao of Dust was naturally very shocking to the Pale Blood Princess because the Dust Release was completely obliterating everything she sent at Ōtsutsuki Yakou.

The Dao of Dust was at the True Meaning Level, and its power was frightening; at the same time, from the moment they started fighting, Yakou was using his Senrinjōnegan, especially the Clairvoyance aspect of his Third Eye, to the extreme to predict any future movements from his opponent.

With the Dao of Dust at the True Meaning Level, the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was able to inflict serious damage on the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunnestud because the Dao of Dust was indeed extremely destructive.

And while the Altrouge Brunestud was trying everything to hinder him or block the attacks, there was little success in that, especially due to the strategy that he had chosen. Inspiring himself by the Champion of the Demon Sealing Sect, Yakou was using his Fūinjutsu in combination with other abilities.

Every time she was preparing to use the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunnestud, Yakou would use the Fūinjutsu Seals to seal some part of the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunnestud for a microsecond before he would obliterate that part with the Dust Release.

This was going on for several tens of minutes already, as he managed to destroy several of the artificial moons that were orbiting around them as the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunnestud was going on with full power.

Not to mention, several tens of Truth-Seeking Balls flaming with the greenish Chakra were orbiting around the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who was using them as autonomous automated defense around his person.

The Truth-Seeking Balls have already stopped several tens of attempts of the Black Eclipse Princess to sneakily attack the Ōtsutsuki Yakou. However, when Yakou started fighting against the Altrouge Brunestud, he realized one thing. 

In terms of raw power, she was weaker than him, and her battle experiences didn't match even one-tenth of his own. That was mainly due to the training done through the heavy usage of the Shadow Clones, something that all of the Ōtsutsukis did, at least those in the Main Clan.

The sole problematic aspect about fighting someone like her was just the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunnestud, but in that aspect, he was already making a solid strategy where he was combining the Dust Release, Fūinjutsu Seals and Clairvoyance.

Especially the Clairvoyance of the Senrinjōnegan was something that was almost impossible to counter, and he had seen the cracks and damage all over the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunnestud.

It was something that made Yakou realize that the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunnestud was on the verge of collapse.

The very second it happened, Yakou needed to employ the Void End, which was a special ability of his Tensei-Mangekyō Sharingan, and deny any use of the energy within the Void End Zone.

Breaking through the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunestud was a very hard thing to do, and even Yakou was sweating a lot to achieve that with the constant usage of the Dao of Dust. 

The very moment when the Reality Marble: Millenium Castle Brunestud broke apart into countless shards, Yakou instantly deployed the Void End through the Tensei-Mangekyō Sharingan.

Everything happened too fast, as Yakou appeared in front of Black Eclipse Princess Altrouge Brunestud, with his katana on her neck, as several other swords were levitating around her person that was all controlled through the Magnetokinesis and boosted up by the Truth-Seeking Chakra.

This was Yakou's final trump card, as he found a way how to preserve the Truth-Seeking Chakra in the Void End Zone, but at the same time, he could maintain this state only for approximately 70 seconds.

But he knew that with this, he essentially won the fight and, with this, won the entire Tournament of the Catomania, as anti-climatic it was. Not to mention, he had a certain belief that the Pale Bloods didn't really even care much about winning or not. 

For them, the Tower of God certainly held much lesser value than to the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who wanted to get their hands on the Tower of God as a method of tempering their bodies even much faster.

The Tower of God was a very interesting artifact or place or whatever it was, in fact, but one thing was certain: everything that was considered foreign was tremendously suppressed within the Tower.

For example, the Chakra of the Ōtsutsuki Clan would be rendered almost useless and the sole thing that he could depend on in that place was only his physical strength and martial arts.

He learned that even usage of the Dao was greatly suppressed within the Tower, and only certain people were allowed to use their Daos freely within the Tower or to use any other equivalent of the Dao. 

But that was the reason why the Tower of God was so sought after, because it was probably the best body-tempering place that one could wish for.

Yakou knew that once he obtained the Tower of God, then the Ōtsutsuki Clan would experience another great boon because their members would have a much easier time refining their physiques.

Something that would certainly greatly help the clan because the latent talent of the Ōtsutsuki Species for Body Refining wasn't actually that high in the first place, and they usually depend on hard work, obscure rituals, various treasures, sacrifices, and naturally, the Chakra Fruits.
