Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

The scorching heat waves from the fiery hell rushed into my lungs, the burning and dryness permeating my interior as if to scald me.

However, as the spiritual body visibly improves, that little bit of temperature can no longer have the slightest effect.

The muscle fibers were frantically reorganizing, and the spiritual pressure was as hot and boiling as the hellish furnace before our eyes.

Although the underlying principles are still uncertain, it is undeniable that I have become stronger.

If Naraku Sora was steel before, he has now undergone countless trials and tribulations, resulting in an ultimate transformation.

Although the process was painful, for him it was nothing more than nourishment to become stronger.

Compared to the arduous training day after day, year after year, at the Spiritual Arts Academy, the current speed can be described as a meteoric rise.

Naraku Sora opened his arms, fully experiencing the surging power coursing through his body.

That was a kind of power completely different from spiritual pressure.

The gloom that had been weighing on my heart vanished with the acquisition of this power.

Admittedly, the Soul Society is rife with darkness and evil, and the entire world is even built upon original sin.

As far as the eye can see, all that is there is decay.

This kind of world has existed for millions of years.

Should we let it continue like this?

No, now that I've come here, I should leave something behind for the world.

Regardless of the outcome.

Naraku's gaze hardened, his fighting spirit rekindled, and he turned around to throw all the remaining criminals into the prison.

The road ahead is fraught with difficulties, and the whole world is our enemy.

Since that's the case, then...

Justice, add some points!

……

Although Aizen did not intervene when these people were arrested, and his involvement was 100%, their sin value was relatively low.

Moreover, their strength is too poor.

All the combined profits couldn't compare to those of Hidetoshi Araki.

However, just as Naraku Sora had predicted, personally arresting criminals was much faster than leaving them in the Shinigami Prison to be sentenced.

The Gotei 13 is actually quite inefficient, given the limited number of members.

In addition, many things easily involve disputes between nobles, leaving the Gotei 13 with no way to bite down on their own.

Generally speaking, the arrest of nobles usually requires the approval of the Forty-Six Chambers.

Acting like Naraku Sora, who acts first and then informs others, actually violates the laws of Soul Society.

However, as long as he insists that he doesn't know Araki Hideto's identity and latches onto Shutara Senjumaru's coattails, the 46 Chambers generally won't deal with him directly.

……

First Squad Barracks.

"Captain-Commander, the latest information from Rukongai."

The meticulous Chojiro placed a document respectfully on the table in the center of the room, then stood aside and waited quietly.

"Rukyougai?" The bald old man frowned. "Could it be the disappearance of the villagers in the sapphire-faced district?"

Chojiro Sasaki nodded, his expression grave: "It involves nobles, and the involvement of certain individuals has made the matter even more complicated."

"It's them again."

Yamamoto Shigekuni's expression darkened noticeably. He reached for the document on the table and opened it directly.

The room fell silent immediately.

But as time went by, the heavy pressure continued to spread, and wisps of scorching heat rose up, as if a dormant volcano was gradually awakening!

"Commander-in-Chief!"

Chojiro wiped the sweat from his brow and called out a reminder.

Yamamoto raised his eyes, gave him a deep look, and his deep voice echoed in the room:

"Chōjirō, I need detailed information."

"The Araki family?" Chojiro Sasakibe nodded, "I've already ordered someone to investigate."

Yamamoto shook his head slightly and pointed to a line on the document, adding:

"No, it's this brat."

Chojiro Suzaku paused, then looked at the document on the table, which read:

"Naraku, the tenth warden of the Central Prison, defeated Araki Hideto head-on, thwarting his plot..."

……

Seireitei, the noble district.

A vast, magnificent, and ancient mansion sits quietly here, like a giant beast.

Deep within the mansion, inside a tall building, several figures gathered.

This is the Araki family, a high-ranking noble family. The people present are all high-ranking members of the Araki family.

"A mere Shinigami from the Shinigami Prison dares to attack our Araki family?!"

"We can't just look at the surface; things can't be that simple."

"It's definitely a conspiracy by other factions, or rather, by that warden of the True Central Prison!"

As soon as the person sat down, an angry voice roared in the room.

Everyone's faces were ashen, as if they had swallowed flies. The losses this time were extremely heavy, and even the wealthy Araki family was struggling to cope.

"This matter is top secret; only a few of us know about it."

The old man sitting at the head of the table slowly began to speak:

"With just two Death Gods at the level of Seat Officer, it would be impossible to find the Paradise House, let alone infiltrate that underground space without triggering the Ghost Path Barrier."

"Furthermore, being from Rukongai, they wouldn't dare to attack nobles."

"So, it's very likely related to that woman, Shutara Senjumaru."

The guess was confirmed, and everyone looked astonished.

"However, no matter what, we are now at a complete disadvantage. We can't save that good-for-nothing Araki Hideto, but we must not let the Araki family decline like this."

A deep voice echoed in the room, and the old man's gaze was sharp as a knife.

"Before saving the family, we must wash away that shame."

"Since Shutara Senjumaru dared to attack us, he will have to pay the price. Let's start with that damned Prison Warden!"

Chapter 19 Facing Danger with a Smile

"Nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven...nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!"

"You did a great job, you silly boy."

In the enclosed space, Shutara Senjumaru's languid voice echoed, a hint of surprise flashing in his slightly closed eyes.

"I didn't expect you to actually persevere. In terms of willpower alone, I would call you the strongest."

In the open space in the middle, Naraku Sora removed half of his clothes, revealing almost perfect muscle lines all over his body. His shoulder blades were prominent, showing his extreme strength, and his spine was like a taut bowstring.

He stood in front of a pristine white wall, as if drenched by a torrential downpour, with damp marks everywhere.

With a deep, muffled shout, Nai Luo's right fist, which had missed its target, suddenly slammed out.

Bang! ! !

The moment the fist collided with the wall, a dull thud suddenly exploded, and a visible shockwave burst forth from the center of contact, surging outwards in all directions.

Having completed the final punch of his training, Naraku slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"They actually made it through."

Even he himself did not expect that he could actually complete such a hellish training.

This is the spirit training room that Shutara Senjumaru built in his early years, specifically for the cultivation of spirits.

When a user is in it, they will be subjected to omnipresent spiritual pressure, and the intensity of the pressure will continue to increase as the user's tolerance limit increases.

Those with weaker spiritual pressure will completely lose their fighting ability when facing a truly powerful being due to the excessive difference in spiritual pressure. Some may even faint on the spot or die.

This event is also recorded in Koyat Stark's autobiography.

If it were merely spiritual pressure, then this spiritual training chamber wouldn't be worth Shutara Senjumaru's personal creation.

In addition to external influences, the spiritual particles inside the space are also unusually active, capable of immediately replenishing and repairing any minor damage to the spiritual body.

It can not only alleviate the negative effects of spiritual pressure on the user, allowing them to quickly adapt to a high-pressure state, but also enable them to persist in training for a longer period of time.

It can also increase the resilience and strength of the spirit body during the continuous process of damage repair.

Having mentioned so many advantages, it's not without its drawbacks as well.

That is, the whole process is extremely painful, and it is something that ordinary death gods cannot endure.

Holding on for even a few minutes is the limit for an ordinary Grim Reaper.

Even so, people continue to come here to try it.

There's no other reason than that this method of cultivation can truly make you stronger.
