Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"Could it be that Yhwach woke up prematurely?"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a strong tremor came from below the Spirit King Palace.

Immediately following was the sound of the barrier shattering.

Like a battle cry, the sounds of shattering followed one after another.

"not good!"

Hyosube Ichibei let out a low shout and instantly unleashed a terrifying speed disproportionate to his size, disappearing from the spot as if teleporting through space.

The next second, he appeared directly on Omotesando.

The other four members of Squad Zero arrived one after another.

Click!

The sound of the barrier shattering grew closer, as if some terrifying creature was approaching.

Kirinji Tenjiro's expression was somewhat solemn. He gripped the Kinbika in his hand tightly, ready for battle.

This was the first time he had encountered an invasion by an enemy since becoming a member of the Zero Division.

This time, we must perform well and uphold the dignity of the Spirit King's Palace.

With a final cracking sound, a figure enveloped in violent lightning instantly appeared in everyone's sight.

When Kirinji Tenjiro saw that grinning face clearly, his features froze and solidified.

Oh, so it was this kid.

It seems I won't have any opportunities to show off.

"Please calm down, Kong."

Seeing that the other party was hostile, Hyosube Ichibei immediately understood the source of his bad premonition and tried to appease them with words:

"Although I don't know exactly what happened, I believe that anything can be resolved through conversation."

"As long as we sit down and talk, there will always be a satisfactory result."

Upon hearing this, Naraku grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

"result?"

"I want to see the Spirit King now, will you allow it?"

Hyosube Ichibei's face instantly darkened.

He showed a very tolerant attitude towards everyone and everything, but he would never back down when it came to the Spirit King.

"I'm sorry, but no one may go to the inner palace without permission."

Naraku thought for a moment, then tilted his head and said, "Then there's no room for discussion."

Hyobu Ichibei remained expressionless, his dark red pupils turning pure white.

"If you insist on this, then I have no choice but to..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning roared out and streaked across the sky.

It happened so fast that the others didn't even have time to react.

A thunderclap suddenly sounded.

As the roar spread, the sharp blade hovering in front of Hyosube Ichibei was revealed—the heavy and black Bakya-tei was held in Naraku's hand.

It touched the tip of the pen, which was exactly the size of the character.

The smile, so close yet so far, was filled with a ferocious and savage expression, and an undisguised fighting spirit surged forth, instantly engulfing Hyosube Ichibei's imposing figure.

The monk wanted to say something more, but before he could open his mouth, a scorching wind rose from the ground, like lava erupting from the earth's crust, its intense heat raging as it swept across the land—

A fist crackling with black and red lightning broke through the spiritual pressure released by Hyosube Ichibei and slammed straight into his abdomen.

Bang! !

A heavy crash erupted over Omotesando, white shockwaves spread in all directions, and a terrifying blast of wind swept across the entire sky in an instant.

On both sides of the Omotesando, the massive stone pillars symbolizing the majesty of the Rei-o Palace collapsed with a deafening roar amidst the raging aftershocks and billowing dust.

The puppet arms behind Senjumaru gathered in front of him, each holding a needle and thread, moving swiftly to weave a red umbrella before the shockwave reached him.

It completely blocked the terrifying storm of spiritual pressure.

Looking at the chaotic scene at Omotesando, her eyes were filled with pleasure:

"That's more like it. I've never taught you to sit down and reason with people."

"True negotiations have always been based on absolute force."

She had her eye on Naraku Sora from the moment she joined the team.

Although she was still very weak at the time, she possessed many secrets that even powerful Grim Reapers did not have, which held an irresistible attraction for her, the researcher.

As they spent more and more time together, Senjumaru grew to enjoy being with Naraku Sora even more.

Watching him grow stronger at a visible rate under his care.

Less than a century has passed, and the silly boy who once needed her help to support him has now grown into a towering tree that supports a whole world.

It gives one a sense of joy in nurturing something.

Kirinji Tenjiro, who had barely managed to withstand the sweeping storm, was somewhat taken aback when he heard these treasonous words.

How could Shutara Senjumaru have such a terrible personality?

Also, which side are you on?

Shouldn't we cheer for the monks?

In the sky, Hyosube Ichibei was sent flying a distance before he swung the Ichimonji in his backhand, forcibly stopping his body.

The sharp pain in his arm forced him to concentrate.

The black and red lightning really does resemble Yamamoto Shigekuni's style.

Both the master and apprentice were equally irritable.

You can't let the other party lead you; you must keep the pace in your own hands.

Hyosube Ichibei's spiritual pressure surged, and the deep, bone-revealing wound on his arm quickly spoke to itself, instantly returning to its previous state.

"O dark night, oh dark night, come here."

As the ancient incantation was chanted, boundless darkness slowly unfolded, as if night had fallen, swallowing up the light.

"Just wanted to say hello to everyone..."

However, just as the chanting began, the monk saw a shooting star streak across the sky, and the violent, boundless spiritual pressure mercilessly plunged into the quagmire-like darkness.

It erupted in an instant!

The viscous killing intent, solidified into a tangible form, crushed everything around it like the collapse of heaven and earth, extremely violent, and burst forth with dazzling light in an instant.

The sun rises high in the sky.

A grotesque, demonic grin appeared out of nowhere, abruptly interrupting Hyosube Ichibei's chanting, as thick, black and red lightning surged relentlessly.

The burning figure vanished instantly, turning into countless afterimages that darted around. A series of violent attacks erupted, completely engulfing Hyosube Ichibei like a raging sea!

Chapter 378 World Line Convergence

"With such a large wind-up, how dare you leave it exposed?"

The moment the black and red lightning, which had transformed into a pool of thunder, exploded, Naraku's voice came from near and far, unleashing a completely unreasonable and wanton tyranny.

"Eat me—"

"A thousand blows in one moment!"

Before the palace of Bu Zhuan Tai Sha Ling was even completed, it was smashed to pieces by him.

The boundless darkness exploded in an instant, turning into countless spiritual particles that dissipated into the air, and the clear sky reappeared before our eyes.

Naraku Sora appeared above Hyosube Ichibei as if by teleportation, unleashing a powerful whip kick without reservation.

The burly figure crashed down like a meteorite, plunging into the Omotesando, its aftershocks scattering in all directions, turning everything in sight into ruins.

Countless pebbles buried the monk, rising high like a towering tombstone.

"A monk?!"

Kirinji Tenjiro instinctively shouted out.

This guy, he wasn't beaten to death on the spot, was he?

wow-

As the rubble was lifted, Hyōbu Ichibei, whose body had collapsed by nearly half, emerged from the ruins. He supported himself on the ground with one hand, vomiting blood and fragments of his internal organs, clearly on the verge of death.

Seeing him like this, the others were relieved.

Being able to move means the injuries are not serious. For the members of the Zero Division who used the power of the Soul King to rebuild their bodies, they only need to activate their spiritual pressure to recover from their injuries.

The effect is even stronger than the Arrancar's super-fast regeneration.

Hyobu Ichibei did not respond to his colleague's shouts, but instead looked at Naraku Sora with an extremely complicated expression.

"It was truly an unexpected battle."

"Kong, your power is beyond my imagination. I have lost."

"Now you may go to the inner palace to see Lord Spirit King."

Naraku Sora remained standing and slowly descended from the sky.

"It should have been done a long time ago."

"How could I be an unreasonable person?"

Upon hearing this, the monk subconsciously looked at the mangled body, where the golden bones were clearly visible and the internal organs were largely necrotic.

A bitter smile crept onto his face.

To be honest, he didn't expect the battle to end so quickly at first.
