Eternal Night.

Octopus 912 thinks something's wrong with you.

Among the extraordinary paths to Zanpakuto obtained by Wu Pifu, Zanpakuto undergoes two transformations: Shikai and Shukai. However, judging from Aizen and the young man Zangetsu, there is clearly a third transformation. At the third transformation, it can actually be considered a companion spirit treasure, but it belongs to the lowest level of spirit treasure. It is an external manifestation of one's own soul's true essence.

What Wu Pifu is showing now is the first change of the Zanpakuto's extraordinary path, but this change seems, perhaps, possibly... something is wrong.

Wu Pifu looked at the giant sword in his hand, which had transformed into a large, square steel plate, and fell into a kind of silence.

That's right, the Shikai and Shukai of a Zanpakuto will cause its form to change, becoming closer to the true essence of your soul. But what's with a big, square steel plate?
The key point is that this steel plate hasn't been sharpened yet... Is this really going to be a case of "a heavy sword without an edge, great skill without artifice"?
Of course, the form wasn't a big problem; it was just a matter of whether Wu Pifu found it easy to use. As long as it could cut people, that was enough. What really surprised Wu Pifu was that as soon as this Zanpakuto appeared, there was a visible distortion in the surrounding vision. He swung the steel plate sword around, and well, it wasn't just a distortion in vision, but rather his entire field of vision was about to appear.

That's right, this Zanpakuto is in an overweight state. Although it doesn't seem to feel any different when he lifts it, the ground beneath his feet begins to tear and float after he just lifts it and shakes it. This weight is definitely not right!
Then, when Wu Pifu held the Death-Seeking Blade in its initial state, he instinctively sensed something within it. He gently shook it, and the supergravity-induced vision disappeared. However, as he shook the blade, small, constantly flashing and disappearing crystal fragments appeared around it—space fragments!?
He didn't even use any force; he just gently shook the Death Blade, and its sharpness was enough to cut through space!

This was the second ability. Wu Pifu continued to sense the Death-Seeking Blade, and shook it again. The entire Death-Seeking Blade grew larger in the wind, becoming as huge as the Remnant Fire Blade and the Remnant Moon Blade opposite him in an instant. Moreover, if Wu Pifu wanted, the Death-Seeking Blade could continue to grow larger.

"Well, the Triple Forging Death Blade, in its initial release state, can ignore the activation conditions of triple forging and directly use its effects." Wu Pifu exclaimed in surprise.

The compatibility between this Zanpakuto's extraordinary path and him is even higher than expected.

Most importantly, this extraordinary path does not directly affect him, but rather the sword itself. Moreover, this is the basic logic of the Zanpakuto's extraordinary path, so there is no concern that this characteristic will be swallowed up by the oath and constraints and become pure numbers. Of course, the so-called spiritual pressure and the like that attached to the Zanpakuto's extraordinary path can only become pure numbers added to his own strength.

"very good!"

Wu Pifu used all three abilities of his Zanpakuto in its steel plate form in turn, and the more he used them, the more satisfied he became. Meanwhile, the other two on the battlefield fell into a kind of silence.

Something seems off about this thing...

They both knew about Zanpakuto. Whether it was Aizen or the young man from Zangetsu, they both started their careers through the extraordinary means of Zanpakuto. This was their strongest extraordinary means, a foundational core similar to Wu Pifu's martial arts.

But whose Shikai Zanpakuto is this powerful?
"Zuo Bin...you also received an invitation from outside the cage?" Aizen asked with a complicated expression.

"Huh?" Wu Pifu was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and wondered what the so-called "outside the cage" meant.

The third End War in this world broke out because this guy named Aizen accidentally obtained a supernatural path from outside the derivative dream world and also glimpsed the scenery of the infinite dream world.

Unfortunately, he only glimpsed a corner of it and didn't see the cruelty and terror of the dream world at all. This was because the dream world was sealed off by the Spirit King, preventing outsiders from entering and insiders from leaving. This, in turn, kept the original inhabitants of the world from the pollution and terror of the dream world.

However, after glimpsing the scenery of the Infinite Dream World, Aizen's heart became wild. He felt that this world was a cage, imprisoning them here and preventing them from going to the real universe outside. So he tried every means to cause trouble, and his ultimate goal was to completely destroy this cage.

Wu Pifu thought for a moment. Although he felt that this was a space for spiritual exchange and it was meaningless to speak or not, since the Spirit King's Dream World was completely gone, he still said, "I'm sorry, I come from the outside world, and the outside world is a cesspool. I advise you to think twice before you act."

Aizen froze, his expression stiffening for several seconds before he gradually began to laugh, a loud laugh, a maniacal laugh, and then, with the arrogant air of a mastermind, he said, "A cage or a cesspool? I'd definitely choose the cesspool, at least it's much more spacious than this tiny cage. But before that, I don't like the way you look at me..."

As the words fell, the enormous Remnant Blade began to condense, growing smaller and smaller, but its flames grew brighter and brighter. When it condensed into a size that Aizen could hold, its flames were comparable to the sun, and the entire earth was burning and then vaporizing. Even Wu Pifu's skin began to scorch.

The title of "commoner" cannot protect him from the damage of nature. This high temperature is considered to be natural high temperature. At the same time, this physical body is not his own, so its defense against this kind of damage is very poor. Even if he were to manifest and make his physical body extremely strong, under such an extreme high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees or even more, his physical body could only withstand it for a few seconds at most.

"See that? In just a few seconds, you'll be reduced to ashes. This is the strongest Zanpakuto in the world, so weak in its original owner's hands. Its true power is earth-shattering, and now..."

The next second, Aizen and the Zanka Blade he was holding were shattered into pieces.

Wu Pifu looked at Aizen with a puzzled expression; the arrogance on Aizen's face had not yet faded.

How many seconds?

With so much time to fight, he could even slice Aizen into thin slices, each no more than a millimeter thick, or revive him and kill him a hundred times over, or even a few hundred times if that wasn't enough.

To put it bluntly, the time difference between them is immeasurable. Don't be fooled by Aizen's impressive appearance; he's just a top-tier mortal in this dream world, not even an Ascended being. Moreover, even if he were truly a Seed of the Ultimate Path, he would only have achieved a fusion and superposition of similar extraordinary paths. He's still a long way from truly developing the multiple superpositions of extraordinary paths that a Seed of the Ultimate Path can achieve.

Moreover, Wu Pifu's current Death-Defying Greatsword has three special effects. Although only one can be used at a time, its power is terrifyingly great after ignoring the prerequisites. The super gravity can directly isolate high temperature, the super sharpness can cut through space, and the ability to freely enlarge allows Wu Pifu to flexibly control the attack effect within "five steps". So he just stood there and swung the greatsword, and Aizen was directly turned into hundreds of pieces of the same size.

Then Wu Pifu looked at the Crescent Moon Youth. The Crescent Moon Youth was completely flustered and instantly moved a thousand meters away. The huge Crescent Moon Blade behind him also began to shrink, but this still did not give him any sense of security.

this is too scary!

That was Aizen! He stole the power of the Omniscient and Omnipotent One, and also stole the Zanpakuto of the Captain-Commander of the Shinigami. He was arguably the strongest person in this world, yet he didn't even last three seconds against this unknown being.

He didn't know how to win.

However, the attack he anticipated did not come, because Wu Pifu simply sheathed his sword.

After a long silence, the young man asked loudly, "Why don't you kill me?"

Wu Pifu was quite puzzled: "Why would I kill you?"

The young man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Then, he and the whole world began to gradually shatter.

By the time Wu Pifu came to his senses, the broken sword he had touched had already begun to crumble inch by inch, eventually turning into dust and disappearing completely.

"Is that all? So all we need to do is kill the strongest one? Or all we need to do are kill the ones that aren't human?" Wu Pifu stroked his chin, lost in thought.

He was summarizing the rules of the spiritual space so that he would know what to do next time: just unleash a flurry of attacks, the most efficient way.

At this moment, the three sublimated beings surrounded him. Seeing that Wu Pifu's expression was normal and he showed no signs of exhaustion, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The Book Civilization Sublimated Being immediately said, "It seems that you did not consume much, that's good, that's good."

The other two sublimated beings also nodded repeatedly.

Wu Pifu simply nodded in response. He naturally wouldn't interfere with their own experience in the spiritual fusion scene. Without pausing, he immediately said to the three sublimated beings, "Alright, enough of the small talk. Now I need you to contribute some effort. Tell me everything you know about burning your soul's true spirit, or burning your own potential or essence—basically, all the techniques similar to the Super Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. The more you consume, the more your combat power will increase, the better."

The fish swam happily underwater, not far away, but always keeping an eye on the bait.

This is a game of play, but also a game of pursuit and hunting.

This is the story of the fish and the bait.

The fish asks you, do you know what the fish is thinking?

You don't know because you're not a fish.

The fish laughed heartily, its laughter even carrying a hint of mockery.

Finally, it surfaced again, deciding to swallow and spit out the bait one more time.

Yes, it's you, you're the bait.

only……

The fish was somewhat puzzled...

The fish senses that something seems off about you.

You said, "I am not bait, I am human, a pure-blooded human."
