Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 455 Resurrected Blade, Kuriyashiki Kenpachi Defeated and Cut in Half!

At the same time, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki spoke up, "Saito-senpai, your Bankai, Brilliant Heavenly Treasure: Infinite Mystery, could cover most of Seireitei back then. Even if your spiritual pressure has become stronger and your strength has increased, making the Bankai even more terrifying, I estimate it can only cover the size of one Seireitei at most—or, if I'm overestimating, how about two? But that's still not enough. My Hunger can devour an area of ​​at least five Seireitei. Even if you release your Bankai now, it'll probably be too late!"

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's Bankai is capable of completely crushing, tearing, devouring, and digesting everything within its range except for himself.

Even if Saito is immortal and uses Bankai, he cannot avoid this fate as long as he does not escape this area.

Saito, who is immortal, nodded slightly and said, "You're right. My Bankai can't break your hunger."

After a slight pause, Saito, the immortal being, raised the Heavenly Sky Flash in his hand and said, "Then let me show you a wider world: Heavenly Sky Flash - Resurrection!"

The blade that flashed across the sky seemed to transform into a thousand cherry blossoms, constantly shattering and turning into dust, dissipating into the air. Meanwhile, Saito's terrifying spiritual pressure, which made him immortal, rose once again.

"What is this!?" Kenpachi Kuruyashiki could be described as 'inexperienced', completely baffled by the situation.

He had never seen a Shinigami in Hollow form, so he naturally didn't understand anything about Resurrection.

"Even at my speed, I can't escape its devouring range before your giant mouth closes," Saito Immortal said softly.

Her aura vanished, but her appearance remained unchanged; only her spiritual pressure became stronger.

Before Kenpachi Kuruyashiki could speak, she continued, "But we are no longer in the same realm, Brother Mighty General."

As her words fell, her body began to blur, and at the same time, a great change occurred in Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's perception.

He could clearly see Saito Immortal's figure with his naked eye, but the spiritual pressure that had just been putting so much pressure on him suddenly disappeared. Moreover, in his spiritual pressure perception, it was as if Saito Immortal was no longer around.

"I originally intended to save my Resurrection Blade for Yamamoto Genryusai and that Spirit Lord. Those two damned bastards, relying on their flames and violence, always manage to break through my Bankai in such a low-tech way. Over the years, I've been thinking about how to counter their raging flames and power, and this Resurrection Blade is the solution," Saito Immortal said.

As she finished speaking, darkness fell, the gaping maw of the abyss closed completely, and all light was cut off.

Then everything that was devoured began to be crushed, torn apart, chewed, and digested.

The Gillian in one-third of the Great Hollow Forest were utterly powerless, crushed into spiritual particle fragments, and even the barren desert on the surface of Hueco Mundo was gradually digested and completely consumed.

Apart from Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, anything trapped in this giant mouth inevitably met the same fate.

Not only that, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's injuries began to heal rapidly, and the spiritual pressure he had previously consumed was also quickly restored.

This is the Bankai of the Hungry Hall, which devours all enemies, crushes, tears, chews and digests them, turning them into pure spiritual particles, healing Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's injuries and restoring him to his original state!

After Bankai ends, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki will return to his pre-battle peak!

The only change is that he can no longer use the power of the Hungry Palace twice in a single battle. Once this Bankai is used, he cannot even reactivate his Shikai for six months, let alone devour it again.

His injuries had fully healed, and his depleted spiritual pressure had been completely replenished.

However, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's expression was very solemn, because originally he was the only one who could survive the devouring power of the Hungry Ghost Corridor, but now there were two.

Saito, who was immortal, neither dodged nor moved; she simply stood there. But the devouring acted as if it completely ignored her, causing her no harm whatsoever.

It's as if she's clearly within this area, but has already moved out of it.

It's a very strange statement, but that's how it is.

"The realms... are they different now?" Kenpachi Kuruyashiki pondered Saito's immortal words and understood something in his heart.

The senior in front of me appears to still be in Hueco Mundo, but in reality, she's no longer within it. That "Tenka Tenshou Senki: Resurrección" seems to have made her her own world!?

That's why his Hungry Pleasure Corridor failed to truly "bite" her.

Because he released his Bankai in Hueco Mundo, while Saito is immortal and no longer "in" Hueco Mundo!

Similarly, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki understood why she said this move was reserved for the Captain-Commander and the Spirit Lord.

Even the Captain-Commander's Zanka no Tachi cannot cross the barrier of the realm and burn Saito, who is immortal at this moment!

No matter how fierce the flames are, they are useless because they cannot be hit at all!

With a loud bang, the Hungry Paradise Corridor exploded, and the Bankai that had been devouring the enemy came to an end.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal, except that too many things had disappeared.

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki stood there, looking at the immortal Saito in the sky, who seemed like a king, and sighed softly, "I never thought I would be defeated in this way."

Even though his injuries had completely healed and his spiritual pressure had returned to its peak, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki knew that he had already lost!

"It's over, Brother Mengjiang." Saito Immortal murmured softly, and then his figure flashed.

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki felt the space around him become slightly disordered, and then his upper and lower body separated and he fell to the ground. There was no pain or blood, but black cracks in the space were left on the wound on his waist, as if his body had been split in two by space at that moment.

Cut in half!

Let's push it back a little bit.

In the Seireitei, in the barracks of the Ninth Division, the captains of the Third Division, Izumi Katsukichiji, the Fourth Division, Unohana Retsu, the Tenth Division, Shutara Senjumaru, and the Twelfth Division, Hikifune Kiryu, were gathered.

"Where's Bane?" Sister Hua asked first after arriving.

"Lord Spirit Lord has already passed through the interdimensional gate and is heading towards Hueco Mundo," Genjiro Okabe immediately replied.

Shutara Senjumaru looked at the gate to the outside world that the Kido sect had opened in the courtyard, frowned, and said, "It seems the situation is quite urgent. That guy didn't even have time to wait for us."

"Let's go!" Kiryu called out, and stepped into the interdimensional gate first.

The other captains followed closely behind, and soon the portal closed again.

Genjiro Okiga's expression was grave as he looked at the closed portal, silently praying, "I hope it's not too late."

On the other side, after spending a few minutes crossing the rift and arriving in Hueco Mundo, Bane felt a strange response as soon as he stepped into Hueco Mundo. The spatial confinement that had sealed off Mind Crossing seemed to have been lifted.

"What the hell? I was in Soul Society, and you sealed off the space. I came to Hueco Mundo, and you released it again. What kind of operation is this?" Bane cursed inwardly, then his spiritual pressure flickered and he began to connect with the Heart-to-Heart Path.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Bane connected with Heart Ferry, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared near Kuchiki Soujun and the others who were constructing the interdimensional gate.

Feeling his hand go empty, Kuchiki Souchun then noticed that the Heart Ferry he had been holding had returned to the Spirit Lord's hand.

Upon seeing the Spirit Lord, Kuchiki Soujun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Spirit Lord!"

"What happened? Is Saito immortal? What about Kenpachi Kurosaki?" Bane didn't have time to say more before asking three questions in quick succession.

As he said this, he saw a huge, jaw-like creature rising from the ground not far away, seemingly brushing against the edge of the group.

Seeing this, Bane's eyes turned serious as he said, "Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's Bankai."

Kuchiki Sojun was also shocked as he stared at the enormous jaws that rose from the ground, seemingly reaching the sky. After a moment, he reacted and said, "That's right, it's Saito Immortal. We were just conducting a mission in the Great Hollow Forest when she suddenly appeared."

Listening to Kuchiki Soujun's explanation, Bane's brows furrowed as he asked, "Hollowfication!?"

"Yes, perhaps you, Spirit Lord, are not aware of this, but a long time ago, there was a conflict between the Soul Society and the Shinigami and Hollows." Kuchiki Soujun seemed to want to explain something more.

However, seeing the giant jaws close, Bane immediately said, "No need for further words. You all return to Soul Society as soon as possible. Kenpachi Kurotashiki's Bankai has closed, and I can move now!"

When that giant jaw rose earlier, Bane couldn't have chased after it. After all, that guy's Bankai doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. If he went in, he would only cause trouble and become the target to be devoured.

Therefore, he can listen to Kuchiki Sōjun's information.

Now that his Bankai is closed, he dares not waste any more time.

With a swift movement, Bane, holding the Heart-Crossing Sword, vanished in a flash, chasing after the closing giant jaws.

Just as he was about to arrive, the giant jaw suddenly collapsed, signifying the end of Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's Bankai.

"Have you taken care of that guy yet?" Bane felt uneasy, but his figure did not stop.

In just a few breaths, his gaze finally fell upon Kenpachi Kuruyashiki and the purple-haired twin-tailed loli wearing a skull mask at the far end of his line of sight.

He then paused, his expression darkened, and his eyes flashed with furious rage.

Kenpachi Kuchiyashiki was torn in two at the waist and fell to the ground, while Saito, who was immortal, stood not far from the two pieces of his body.

Judging from his spiritual pressure, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki still had a breath left, but that powerful spiritual pressure was collapsing at an extremely rapid pace.

"You've finally arrived?" Saito, the immortal being, had obviously seen Bane as well, and called out with a slightly excited tone.

Immediately, Bane appeared beside Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's upper body. Ignoring Saito's immortality, he squatted down and looked at him, saying, "Hey, you're not really going to die like this, are you? I don't want to be drinking with Kyoraku Shunsui all the time from now on!"

"Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, why don't you try piecing my body back together and use it, you bastard?" Kenpachi Kuruyashiki said weakly to Bane.

Dark gravity erupted from his hand, instantly drawing in Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's lower body and stitching the two wounds together. Bane's hand emitted a ghostly green soul light, intending to heal Kenpachi Kuruyashiki.

However, his wounds were covered with spatial cracks, as if they were separated by a boundary, making his body appear to be joined together, but in reality they were worlds apart.

"Saito!" Bane, witnessing this, turned and glared, shouting, "Take back that damned spatial power!"

"You really don't understand," Saito Immortal said, quite annoyed. "My strike shattered his spiritual core; it's incurable. If I were to retract this spatial rift now, he would only die faster!"

After a slight pause, Saito, the immortal being, continued shamelessly, "Moreover, for such a fierce general, dying on the battlefield should be his lifelong wish. Although there is a blood feud, Brother Fierce General would never blame me, because he and I are the same kind of people, we both enjoy that kind of fighting. Just like if I died at your hands, I would never blame you, wouldn't you say so, Brother Fierce General?"

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki weakly nodded and said, "Indeed. There's nothing to blame me for. But don't give up, Spirit Lord. If I can live, I still want to live."

"You're practically dead and you're still trying to amuse me," Bane muttered irritably.

In his memory, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki was a person who could face death calmly, so why is he acting like he doesn't want to die now?

Seemingly noticing Bane's doubts, or perhaps due to his increasing weakness, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's pupils dilated slightly as he said, "I haven't found anyone worthy to be entrusted with Kenpachi's name yet."
