Chapter 585 The Curtain Falls, the Death of Three Generations!
In the Type-Moon universe, there exists a Mystic Eye called the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
"Faithful to death" means, as the name suggests, the ability to face death directly.
Everything originates from a source; where there is birth, there must be an end. The end of things is also called 'death'.
The end of things is predetermined from their birth; when something flows out of its source, its 'death' is already determined by the source.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are a pair of eyes that can connect to the Root and see the terrifying 'death' of things.
In the world of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, dark lines resembling cracks can be seen on the surface of most objects.
These dark stripes are also known as the 'lines of death', and cutting along them will cause irreparable and incurable damage to an object.
It is worth noting that the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception sees the death that things inherently possess, the 'end of all things'.
This also means that you can't define the concept of death yourself, and the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can make it happen for you.
Only when the root defines the end of existence can you end it with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
This also exposes a weakness, or rather, a flaw, of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
In other words, things that do not inherently possess the concept of death cannot have the lines of death seen through the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, nor can they be ended.
In the previous world, the Taotie, the beast of original sin that Chen Anxia encountered, is the best example.
Chen Anxia's Eye of Origin can be seen as a manifestation of the Origin, and it is several levels higher than the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Therefore, Chen Anxia's Eye of Roots can also see the line of death in things, and can touch, and even cut, the line of death.
Moreover, Chen Anxia's Eye of Origin can also add the concept of death to things that do not originally have the concept of death by carrying and rewriting, thereby making the line of death appear on them.
This is something the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception could never do.
Previously, the reason why Chen Anxia was able to break through Hiruzen Sarutobi's three-way seal with an ordinary slash was because Chen Anxia added the concept of death to the three-way seal at the cost of a certain amount of chakra.
As for why Chen Anxia was able to possess chakra...
Through Hiruzen Sarutobi's data stream, Chen Anxia learned that the essence of chakra is actually the product of the combination of physical energy and mental energy.
Chen Anxia possesses both of these qualities, and in fact, he far surpasses ordinary people in both, even reaching a transcendent level.
On this basis, coupled with Chen Anxia's physique of becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents, Chen Anxia possessed chakra comparable to Kage level from the very beginning of his chakra cultivation.
This is not Chen Anxia's limit. As long as Chen Anxia continues to cultivate, the chakra in his body will continue to increase.
Chen Anxia currently doesn't know the upper limit of his chakra, because there is no limit to the physique that becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents.
The ability to become stronger when facing stronger opponents not only affects Chen Anxia's physical energy, but also his mental energy.
Therefore, Chen Anxia did not know whether his chakra reserves had an upper limit due to his constitution of becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents.
......
Within the Four Purple Flame Formation.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his summoned beast, Enma, were staring intently at Chen Anxia.
At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Enma were rapidly forming hand seals.
The next moment, the ape demon completed the hand seals first and roared, "Vajra Ruyi Cudgel - Gale!"
With a furious roar, the ape demon transformed into a Vajra Ruyi Cudgel, which hovered in the air and began to spin violently at Chen Anxia.
As the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel spun violently, a terrifying gale was generated, swiftly striking Chen Anxia.
Under the onslaught of the fierce wind, Chen Anxia seemed to be unable to move.
Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly hardened. In an instant, he completed the hand seals and roared, "Earth Release: Great River of Earth!"
The instant Hiruzen Sarutobi roared, the ground beneath Chen Anxia's feet turned into a river of mud, sweeping away the immobile Chen Anxia.
But this was just the beginning; Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand seals had not yet stopped.
In just a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi roared again, "Combined Ninja Art: Earth Dragon Flame Stream!"
As Hiruzen Sarutobi was speaking, a giant earth dragon head appeared beside him and unleashed a powerful earth dragon bullet at Chen Anxia.
Not only that, Hiruzen Sarutobi himself unleashed a scorching fire dragon bullet at Chen Anxia.
The earth-fire dragon projectiles combined upon contact, forming an even more powerful earth-dragon flame stream that slammed towards Chen Anxia.
Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's watchful gaze, the earth dragon flame stream successfully struck Chen Anxia.
Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly saw that Chen Anxia was severely injured by his Earth Dragon Flame Stream, his face showing pain, and he couldn't even maintain his Eight Gates Formation.
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even feel joy, he seemed to sense something, his expression turned horrified, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hiruzen, Hiruzen... wake up!"
The urgent voice of the ape demon reached his ears.
Following the sound, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Chen Anxia, whose Gate of View remained open, was still in the same spot, looking at him with a mocking expression, completely unharmed.
The scene where he and the Ape Demon attacked Chen Anxia just now felt like a dream. Once he woke up, everything returned to reality.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that it wasn't a dream, but rather that he had unknowingly fallen under Chen Anxia's illusion.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea how he had fallen under Chen Anxia's illusion, since Chen Anxia hadn't made any hand seals at all.
So, how did Chen Anxia activate it? And when did he activate the illusion?
Thinking about it, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had summoned Enma in advance.
Without the Ape Demon, I would be in danger while under the illusion.
It was at this moment that Chen Anxia made his move.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi tensed up, constantly on guard against Chen Anxia's attack.
To Hiruzen Sarutobi's surprise, Chen Anxia did not attack him. Instead, he instantly returned to Naruto's side and even exited the Gate of View, exiting the state of the Eight Gates.
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was puzzled, Chen Anxia reached out and covered Naruto Uzumaki's innocent eyes, coldly saying, "Sarutobi, make your move."
Chen Anxia's words startled Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaving him feeling bewildered.
You have to understand, the Ape Demon is his summoned beast; how could it possibly obey Chen Anxia's orders...?
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could figure it out, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Amidst this excruciating pain, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt his life force rapidly fading away.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't care about that. Instead, his face was contorted with pain and disbelief as he looked at his most familiar and trusted summoning beast, Enma.
At this moment, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Enma seemed so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it still held his heart in its hand.
Filled with excruciating pain, bewilderment, resentment, and rage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's life... came to an end!

Chapter 586 Seeds of Chaos, A New Future! (Please Subscribe!)
Not long ago, in the battle with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Chen Anxia had already used the Root Eye to carry the data stream of Kakashi's Sharingan, enabling the Root Eye to unleash the Sharingan's abilities.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, Chen Anxia had no bloodline limit, so he didn't guard against Chen Anxia's eyes at all, only against Chen Anxia's hand seals.
This gave Chen Anxia an opportunity, and he successfully tricked Hiruzen Sarutobi into falling into the Sharingan's genjutsu.
Not only Hiruzen Sarutobi, but even his summoning beast Enma was caught off guard by Chen Anxia's Sharingan genjutsu.
Originally, Chen Anxia could have taken this opportunity to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi and Enma together.
But at the moment of taking action, Chen Anxia seemed to think of something interesting and immediately abandoned his plan to do it himself.
As for the interesting thing Chen Anxia thought of, it was to have Sarutobi Hiruzen die at the hands of Sarutobi, whom he trusted and knew best.
This is also a method that Hiruzen Sarutobi is familiar with and uses frequently.
Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly never imagined that someone would use the methods he knew and used to end his life.
This can be considered karma.
After realizing this interesting thing, Chen Anxia temporarily rewrote the Enma's memory data stream through the Eye of Origin, making the Enma's memories of Hiruzen Sarutobi his own.
That's why Enma obeyed Chen Anxia's orders and attacked Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Chen Anxia also paid the price with his Kage-level chakra.
This cost is permanent and cannot be recovered like the cost of using ninjutsu.
Currently, Chen Anxia only possesses chakra at the level of a novice genin.
This level of chakra was simply insufficient to open the View Gate of the Eight Gates Formation, which is why Chen Anxia had to exit the View Gate state.
However, although Chen Anxia lost his Kage-level chakra, he knew that as long as he was willing to spend time cultivating, he would soon regain his Kage-level chakra in the future.
Chen Anxia hadn't expected that using Kage-level chakra as a price would only temporarily, rather than permanently, alter the Monkey King's memories.
This gives us an idea of how deep the cause and effect and bond between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Enma are.
......
After witnessing Enma kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, Chen Anxia left with Naruto Uzumaki.
Before leaving, Chen Anxia also took away the still-warm heart of Hiruzen Sarutobi, which was in the hands of the Enma.
As for the Four Purple Flame Formation, it is not as good as Hiruzen Sarutobi's Three-Sided Seal for Chen Anxia.
Therefore, the Four Purple Flame Formation could not trap Chen Anxia at all.
The four Anbu members who jointly unleashed the Four Purple Flame Formation were so distracted by witnessing the horrific scene of Enma killing Hiruzen Sarutobi that they had no intention of paying attention to Chen Anxia and Naruto Uzumaki.
Time passes gradually.
The four ANBU members, who had been wavering in their minds, finally came to their senses and rushed toward the already dead Third Hokage, seemingly still unable to believe the fact.
After they finally accepted this fact, they couldn't help but look at the ape demon with anger and hatred.
Without a word, one of the ANBU members took away Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, while the other three immediately began forming hand seals, intending to kill the culprit, Enma, on the spot.
The ape demon did not react at all, just staring blankly and incredulously at its blood-stained right hand.
At this moment, the Enma had regained its original memories and knew the fact that it had killed, and even used its blood-stained right hand to forcibly pull out the heart of the Third Generation.
