Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Looking at the old man not far away, Naraku raised his increasingly heavy Zanpakuto. A deep purple light emanated from his black and red spiritual pressure, and a roar seemed to echo faintly in the distance.

Chapter 355 Ignite Others, Achieve Self-Improvement

No one knew Yamamoto's strength better than Naraku Sora.

Before mastering Hollowfication, Yamamoto was undoubtedly the strongest Shinigami.

Those stronger than him have clearly transcended the realm of death itself.

For example, Hyosube Ichibei, who lived for millions of years, Yhwach, who regained all his power, and the Soul King, the wedge of the three realms.

However, once Yamamoto mastered Hollowfication, he broke through the original limits of his soul and officially entered the level of a Transcendent.

The gap between us and these people is constantly narrowing.

Therefore, if you want to gain Yamamoto's approval, you must go all out and reveal your true trump card.

While the so-called "enduring the old man's battle" tactic is effective, if it really drags on indefinitely, Hueco Mundo might collapse before the two of them finish their fight.

This can be seen from the spectators in the distance.

Even someone as weak as Kisuke Urahara has already relieved his own pressure by using Bankai.

Realizing this, Naraku no longer hesitated. He immediately flipped his wrist, and the black branches on the blade continued to extend outward, distorting space wantonly.

The overwhelming spiritual pressure erupted, silencing the entire battlefield. A strange and heavy blackish-purple aura continuously emerged, gradually engulfing the Zanpakuto completely.

hum-

Space twisted wildly, with deep lines scattered around the black and purple aura.

The heavy, surging torrent flows endlessly, running rampant.

The next second, a devastating roar resounded beneath the crescent moon, and a materialized black-purple torrent transformed into a ferocious dragon, its icy gaze fixed on the old man below.

"Will the Five Dragons perish?"

A hint of shock flashed in Yamamoto's eyes, and he uttered a low murmur that echoed in the wind.

“I don’t recall ever teaching you anything so dangerous.”

"However, if this is all there is to it, it is not enough to gain my approval."

Naraku Sora raised the corners of his mouth, his smile twisted and cruel:

"Of course, that's not all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thick black and red lightning surged forth, leaping and bounding wildly. The surrounding space groaned under its strain, and the sound of shattering echoed incessantly.

The air on the entire battlefield seemed to freeze at that moment.

Surprisingly, the giant purple dragon standing atop the dome, overlooking everything, did not attack Yamamoto.

Instead, after a cold glance, its massive form instantly melted away, disappearing completely into the heavy blade.

Aizen, who was watching this scene from afar, narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized something.

The next second, he appeared in front of everyone, and a transparent barrier, like a city wall, descended from the sky and disappeared deep into the silver sand.

Kyoraku Shunsui looked at the vice-captain of the Fifth Division with some surprise, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Without chanting any incantations or even making any extra movements, it directly and without any pre-cast animation released the Eighty-First Binding Path of the Void.

Wasn't this Aizen guy just a scientist who was good at research?

How could someone possess such power?

Even Hirako Shinji, no, even if he did it himself, probably couldn't do that level of breaking through the void.

The others also noticed this scene, and their faces showed disbelief.

Despite being just a vice-captain, he displayed strength that even the captains couldn't match—it was simply unbelievable!

Kisuke Urahara silently looked at Aizen's back, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

This scene was somewhat unexpected for him.

As Yamamoto watched the Five Dragons Transformation merge into his Zanpakuto, instantly staining the blade a strange blackish-purple, his aged face immediately turned solemn.

Only then did he remember that his exceptionally talented traitor had developed a high-level combat technique that combined demonic arts and swordsmanship.

If I remember correctly, to master this technique, one needs to have a flawless understanding of a single demonic path.

It would take an ordinary Shinigami countless hours to learn a high-level Hado, but Naraku Sora seems to throw it away like it's free.

From the Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with Thunder Cannon No. 88 to the Five Dragons Turn to Annihilation No. 99.

Even the Shinigami who created the concept of Kido probably couldn't do this, right?

Even more outrageous is that this kid not only learned it, but he can even further develop the Ghost Path, causing it to unleash destructive power beyond its limits.

Take, for example, the Ghost Sword Technique right now.

Is it a slash technique that incorporates the 99th Hado technique?

Yamamoto's face showed an expectant expression. As his body stretched out, his joints rubbed against each other, producing a terrifying sound like a snapping string.

The already exaggerated muscles bulged instantly, highlighting the hideous scars on them, and a terrifying pressure, like a collapsing mountain, followed.

Now that his traitorous disciple has revealed his true trump card, he, as the teacher, naturally cannot afford to be complacent.

The surging momentum was as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, and the heavy, scorching air suddenly pressed down.

The desolate desert, scarred and ravaged, seemed to groan in despair; at that moment, the world was reduced to a pure black and white.

Yamamoto grinned and unleashed his most powerful strike at the traitor.

"Remnant Fire Taishou·North——"

"The world turned to ashes!!"

Naraku Sora revealed the same smile, and black and red lightning, like a python, clung to the blade as he slashed forward to meet the all-consuming blade light.

"Black Flash - Five Dragons Revolve and Annihilate!"

The perfectly mastered Ninety-Nine Blades revealed their ferocity at this moment.

A violent burst of black and red lightning shot out, blasting a large area of ​​space in front of it into collapse, revealing a deep rift.

When the two Zanpakuto, which exceeded the limits of the desert's capacity, collided with a deafening roar, the world seemed to stand still.

Everything is silent.

The next second, a terrifying burst of light, symbolizing destruction, erupted from the collision, swept outwards in all directions, and engulfed everything.

It shattered the desert, tore open the earth, broke through the clouds, and shook the sky.

Pure destruction transformed into a tidal wave, surging straight ahead and stretching to the horizon.

This scene was just like—

It was as if the entire night sky had completely collapsed and shattered, revealing an even deeper darkness.

The horrific explosion expanded the battlefield between the two men to thousands of kilometers.

The ripples spread to the ends of the earth, and even the Las Noches Palace, located at the very heart of Hueco Mundo, felt a heart-pounding tremor.

Aizen's face showed a hint of surprise as he clearly saw the cracks appearing on the broken space barrier.

It couldn't even withstand the aftershocks?

What kind of horror would be at the center of the collision between those two?

Kyoraku Shunsui held down his straw hat, which had almost been swept away by the gale, his eyes filled with barely suppressed horror.

Fortunately, the old man and the young man who were fighting did not take place in Soul Society.

Otherwise, the entire Seireitei would cease to exist, and it might even affect Rukongai.

Since there's been no news for so long, could something have happened?

Just as Kyoraku Shunsui was struggling with his dilemma, a fierce foehn wind arose, howling and sweeping the dust waves that had spread for thousands of kilometers in all directions.

The once boundless desert has completely disappeared, replaced by a huge basin that resembles a sinkhole.

At the very bottom, countless cracks crisscross, and scorching magma surges within, occasionally splashing out golden-red waves.

Amidst the intense heat, two figures stood facing each other, like stone tablets standing at the bottom of the pit.

Yamamoto looked calmly at Naraku Sora, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

A gruesome slash ran through the old man's chest, almost cleaving him in two at the waist.

Such horrific injuries would have sent him to hell long ago if it were him in the past.

But now everything is different.

the other side.

Having almost withstood Yamamoto's attack, Heaven and Earth Ashes, Naraku's entire body was practically covered in wounds.

The skin is cracked with countless fissures, making the person look like a porcelain doll; the slightest touch could cause them to shatter.

Before the blood could even seep out, it was instantly evaporated by the terrifying heat.

His right arm was almost useless; the white bone at the elbow joint pierced through the flesh, starkly exposed, looking particularly ferocious.

However, there was not a trace of pain on Naraku's face. His eyes, which were looking ahead, were still bright and piercing, and even carried a hint of a joyful smile.

It became.

Every effort will be rewarded. After fighting Yamamoto with all his might, he finally gained the stubborn old man's approval.

When Yamamoto nodded in acknowledgment, ripples like silk appeared in the air before Naraku Sora's eyes, and a black light screen, visible only to one person, quietly emerged.

[Successfully suppressed the sinner Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, sin value 114514, participation rate 100%!]

[Your spiritual pressure has increased; your limit has been broken!]

The spiritual pressure receded and completely disappeared into Naraku's body. A deep, drum-like sound resounded in his chest, and a brand new transformation began.

Amidst the strange sounds of flesh writhing, the gruesome wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The muscle fibers intertwined and tangled together, as if an invisible hand were stitching the torn skin back together.

The next moment, black and red lightning flashed in Naraku's eyes.
