Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

If Naraku Sora previously had a weakness in spiritual pressure due to the short time it took to break through to the Transcendent level, he now lacks nothing.

The sudden burst of spiritual pressure was enough to instantly crush any Shinigami who intruded nearby.

Thinking of this, a strong sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

They couldn't beat them before, and now there's absolutely no chance of turning things around.

Bitter!

Chapter 379 The Spirit King's Special Tutoring?

Hyosube Ichibei was still immersed in the pain of Naraku's surging spiritual pressure. His rugged old face was contorted with emotion, as if he had swallowed a hundred pounds of lemons in one go.

I feel so incredibly jealous.

Naraku Sora over there has begun to comprehend the wondrous knowledge that keeps emerging from the depths of his soul.

Countless sword techniques intertwine and merge, transforming into a magical thing called inspiration, bursting forth from the mind and flashing with astonishing sparks of wisdom.

Finally, they were integrated into one, forming a move called "One-Sword Asura".

Originally, he was a student with low magical power in a neighboring academy. In order to fight against many powerful enemies with his clumsy strength, he created the sword-wielding technique.

The essence of the ability is to forcibly pull out the power that a living being should not have used from the depths of the soul, and to forcibly concentrate all the magic power, thereby increasing physical strength by dozens of times.

Because the two worldviews are not compatible, this ability has been localized and optimized.

The source of power is not so-called magic, but the spiritual power of the Grim Reaper. The rate of increase depends on the strength of one's own soul and the strength of one's spiritual pressure.

At the same time, such a burst of power will also cause a surge in self-consumption and a significant reduction in combat time.

However, his spiritual qualities and soul strength are unmatched by ordinary Grim Reapers, so he can last longer.

In short, it's sufficient.

Naraku Sora was unsure what kind of boost using One-Sword Asura would bring, but given his already absurd stats, it must be quite considerable.

He dared not even imagine how destructive the attack would be under the combined buffs of Bankai, Perfect Hollowfication, One-Sword Shura, and Black Flash.

Although he doesn't possess the omniscience and omnipotence of King Soul or Yhwach, nor the ability of Hyosube Ichibei to name everything, his strength is undeniable.

The left punch deals high damage, and the right punch deals high damage.

Thinking of this, Naraku Sora smiled with relief.

That's how it should be.

As it turns out, as long as the numerical value is high enough, even so-called rule-based abilities can be completely crushed!

After carefully examining the One-Sword Asura, Naraku turned his attention to another benefit.

The Way of the Three - Iron Wind Kill.

I had personally experienced this move when I fought Hyosube Ichibei before.

It has great destructive power and can easily blow away his spiritual pressure defense.

If the power of the void were not at 100%, the barely perceptible gap between the steel skin and flesh would become a fatal flaw, and it might be blown away into a skeleton.

But now everything is different.

If I were to spar with Hyoninbe Ichibei again, I'd be considered dead within three minutes.

With multiple buffs stacked up, you can practically crush a monk in the face.

However, the only problem right now is that he is not quite sure of the limits of [One-Slash Asura]. It would be great if someone could spar with him for a few rounds.

Thinking of this, Naraku couldn't help but turn his gaze to a certain fat monk in the prison.

The two locked eyes, and Hyōsuke Ichibei immediately sensed a strong malice and couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing that smile curving into a pleased arc at the corner of his mouth, a strong sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.

Just as I was about to ask a question, I heard Naraku Sora's voice:

"Monk, you don't want King Ling to never find a successor, do you?"

Ichibei, the commander of the army: "?"

……

……

Despite Hyobu Ichibei's repeated refusals, he couldn't resist Naraku's persistent invitations.

It even subtly conveyed a sense of threat.

It was practically a direct threat: if you don't agree, I'll throw a tantrum at the Spirit King's Palace.

In order to protect the Spirit King Palace and to help the Spirit King find a successor as soon as possible, Hyosube Ichibei tearfully agreed.

The two arrived at an open space.

This place is usually where the divine soldiers train, so it is extremely large and most suitable for two powerful people to spar.

"Are you really not going to use Bankai or Hollowfication?"

Before the fight began, Hyosube Ichibei asked with some unease.

Naraku Sora nodded impatiently:

"Why are you being so long-winded, like an old man from the mountains? When has this prison warden ever gone back on his word?"

As the other stretched out his body, waves of spiritual pressure surged, and a heavy sense of oppression erupted. Sharp sounds rose and fell, but they could not drown out the deep sound of joints stretching.

Hyosube Ichibei couldn't help but hiss in cold air.

I almost forgot, Naraku Ku has just increased his spiritual pressure significantly.

Although we don't know exactly what happened to him, one thing is certain—

If you don't take the upcoming sparring seriously, the consequences will be dire.

Hyōsuke Ichibei took a deep breath, his large hand flipped over, and instantly grasped the giant calligraphy brush that had appeared out of thin air.

The originally calm and peaceful atmosphere underwent a tremendous and earth-shattering change in an instant.

Through their previous two encounters, he had become fully aware of Naraku's abilities and techniques.

Its biggest trump cards are Hollowfication and Bankai.

If you abandon these two moves, you can at most be considered a slightly stronger superhuman. If you are careful, you may be able to suppress or even defeat your opponent!

With this in mind, Hyosube Ichibei's confidence soared, and he was no longer afraid of the battle to come.

Just as he was getting ready, he suddenly saw Naraku Sora raise his right hand and form a hand seal that he knew all too well.

Wait, that can't be...

"The Way of the Third Void -"

The spiritual pressure, almost tangible, condensed and transformed into a giant dragon head that circled around Naraku Sora, its cheeks bulging high, and it suddenly blew out a gale forward.

"Iron Wind Kill!"

Hyōsuke Ichibei's pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously swung the Ichimonji in his hand, splashing ink and instantly writing a huge "御" (Go) character in front of him.

White background with black ink, forming an indestructible defense.

A violent hurricane roared out and slammed into the monk's defenses. The creaking sound rang out continuously, and the shield, which was strong enough to withstand high-level breakthroughs, was on the verge of collapse.

Seeing that the first wave of attacks had been barely repelled, Hyosube Ichibei couldn't help but look at Naraku Sora and ask:

"The Reverse Hakudo is exclusive to the Zero Division, and the Iron Wind Kill is something only I know, but I don't remember ever teaching it to you."

Naraku Sora grinned: "Shouldn't such a simple demonic art be learned with just one glance?"

Hearing these extremely arrogant words, Hyosube Ichibei was stunned for a moment.

He then carefully observed the micro-expressions on the other person's face, and with his millions of years of experience, he was unable to detect any trace of lying.

hiss--

Did you really learn my inner secret technique after only watching it once?

Could it be that this seemingly straightforward kid actually possesses some kind of extraordinary wisdom?

Hyosube Ichibei began to have some doubts about life.

"Hey, monk."

A voice suddenly rang in his ear, reminding him: "Distracted during battle is not a good habit."

In an instant, the monk was startled and terrified.

The figure that was just in his sight suddenly appeared out of thin air and stood right in front of him, inches away.

A pleased smile curved his lips, making him look like a ferocious demon. His spiritual pressure suddenly blazed intensely, and a terrifyingly high temperature spread out instantly.

This speed...

Hyobu Ichibei reacted quickly, instinctively retreating to dodge and trying to create distance between himself and Naraku. At the same time, he swung his brush, attempting to blacken it.

In an instant, it was as if blinding lightning had drawn sharp edges in the void, stretching straight forward and piercing the unsuspecting Naraku.

By simply engaging in a conflict, one can seize the initiative in the battle.

Although there was a slight mishap, as long as we proceed according to our plan, everything will get back on track...

But just as the ink was about to fall, the monk clearly saw Naraku's mouth open and close, uttering words amidst the violent spiritual pressure:

"One-Sword Asura".

A surging pillar of spiritual pressure shot into the sky, only to be instantly shattered by the violent hurricane. Countless visible air currents scattered around the body.

Space seemed to distort, making it even more blurred.

What is that?!

Hyosube Ichibei suddenly realized that he had thought he knew Naraku Sora well enough.

But when they actually faced off again, they discovered that their opponent had far more cards up their sleeve than they had ever imagined.

This is completely unreasonable!

The monk sadly discovered that, as the original namer of everything in Soul Society and possessing the ability to "call true names," he was experiencing frustration once again.
