However, it's inconvenient to test in Soul Society, so we have to go to the vast and desolate Hueco Mundo to conduct the tests.

At their current level, they can't even unleash their full potential in the Killing Stone training ground.

Although the Killing Intent Stone can isolate spiritual particles, the shockwaves they unleash during battle are enough to shatter it.

“Okay!” Nilu replied.

"Rangiku, your medicinal meal for today is ready. Go to the kitchen and eat it yourself," July instructed Rangiku. "Today's medicinal meal is several times more effective than the previous ones. After you finish eating, immediately practice your internal energy cultivation for five hours to digest the medicinal effects."

Matsumoto Rangiku suffered from insufficient spiritual energy intake and severe injuries while in Rukongai, resulting in a severe depletion of her spiritual body.

In July, a medicinal diet was prepared for her to replenish her nutrition and repair her spiritual body, in preparation for the subsequent experiment to complete the foundation of her soul.

"I'll practice hard!" Matsumoto Rangiku couldn't wait any longer and immediately ran to the kitchen.

There was a pot of steaming stew in the kitchen, and Matsumoto Rangiku could even sense the residual spiritual pressure on it.

"It smells so good!"

The spiritual pressure of this spirit animal was even stronger than hers when it was alive.

The medicinal cuisine uses spiritual animals with a certain spiritual pressure. The combination of dietary supplements and training allows her to better absorb the spiritual particles in the food.

After eating the medicinal meal, Matsumoto Rangiku felt like her spirit was about to burst.

However, under the suppression and neutralization of the medicine prepared in July, the spiritual particles that filled the spiritual body did not overflow, but were instead bound within the spiritual body.

"We need to start practicing right away!"

......

July and Nel arrived at the Great Forest of the Hollows.

"Use your Resurrección, and let me see your current power."

"Sing a praises, O Antelope Knight!"

Nel drew her Zanpakuto and swiftly entered her Release Blade form, wielding a short spear engulfed in dark pink spiritual energy flames.

The appearance of the Resurrección form is unchanged, just like the form it took when it first fused with the Hogyoku.

The Great Hollow Forest, which had been filled with occasional roars, instantly fell into a deathly silence.

The nearby Hollows were too frightened to utter a sound by Nel's terrifying spiritual pressure.

“Indeed, your spiritual pressure has reached its limit,” July suggested. “If you want to continue to grow, you need to find a way to increase the Shinigami power within you.”

As an Arrancar Hollow, Nel also possesses the power of a Shinigami.

However, the power of death within her is still very weak, insufficient to allow her to overcome the bottleneck of the limit of emptiness.

"You go first, use your best moves."

In July, she wanted to test Nel's strength using her normal abilities.

"Here I come!"

Nilu leaped high into the air, and the Spirit Flame Short Spear in her hand suddenly shone brightly.

The Cero condensed onto the Spirit Particle Flame Short Spear, giving the spear's thrusts the explosive power of a Cero.

thump—

Nilu teleported in front of July and instantly thrust out her short spear.

boom--!

July burst through the flames and retreated rapidly.

The next instant, Nil suddenly teleported behind July and slammed down with another shot.

clang--

Nel's attack was not charged with a Cero and was easily blocked by July.

"Hado #88: Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon." July raised her left hand, and a huge, straight beam of light, half the width of a person, shot out from her palm.

July unleashed the Kido right in front of Nel, and Nel didn't have time to dodge it with Sora.

However, she suddenly opened her mouth.

She actually absorbed the huge, straight beam of light, which was half the width of a person, into her stomach.

"Your Cero Repetition can absorb Kido now?" July asked, somewhat surprised.

The demonic path he shot out was swallowed by Nel.

Nel's unique stomach structure can temporarily store Cero, allowing her to absorb enemy Cero and then release the stored Cero at an opportune moment.

Before fusing with the Hogyoku, Nel could only absorb the Cero, which she was most familiar with, and could not devour the Kido.

"Now, as long as it doesn't exceed the limit my stomach can hold, it can absorb and store everything!"

Nilu opened her mouth, her tender tongue moved slightly, and a white light surged from deep within her throat.

The "Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief and Shakes the Sky with Thunder Cannon" is coming towards July.

"The 81st Way of Binding: Cutting the Void."

A semi-transparent barrier appeared in front of July, blocking the 'Flying Dragon Strike Thief Thunder Cannon'.

boom--!

The instant the Kido exploded, Nel teleported behind July, the Spirit Flame Short Spear she held in her hand already subtly emitting a shimmering, ethereal light.

"Your combat awareness has improved a lot; you're not as straightforward anymore."

July's face showed a hint of satisfaction. When she first took in Nilu, Nilu was an honest person who only knew how to attack head-on.

After years of training, Nil's combat awareness has matured, and she can now use feints to conceal her true intentions.

Seeing that her pistol was only centimeters away from the teacher, Nilu whispered, "Watch out!"

The next moment, Nilu saw a dark shadow emerge from the teacher's body and instantly envelop her entire body.

Before he could think any further, the holographic flash condensed within the Spirit Flame Short Spear suddenly erupted.

boom--! ! !

A pink mushroom cloud rose from the Great Void Forest.

A violent surge of air ripped away the rock wall at the top, creating a deep crater in the Great Void Desert above.

"The teacher actually withstood my full-force attack..."

Nilu teleported outside the epicenter of the explosion, gazing at the core area with a worried expression.

She thought the teacher would dodge, but the teacher neither dodged nor avoided the blow.

A moment later, the firelight dissipated.

The dark figure stood motionless in the epicenter of the explosion.

Strangely, Nel could sense her teacher's spiritual pressure during the battle, but now she couldn't sense any spiritual pressure fluctuations from that dark figure.

Chapter 427 First Opportunity

After the flames from the explosion subsided, the dark shadow covering July slowly transformed into a haori cloak.

The explosion hadn't hurt him at all.

"The teacher clearly doesn't have the ability to conceal his spiritual pressure, yet the fluctuations have disappeared..." Nel was completely bewildered.

Meanwhile, July was also experiencing changes within her body.

As the 'Path of Transcendence' mission progressed, the Quincy power within him, which was originally relatively independent, was able to merge with the power of the Shinigami and Hollows.

Hollowfication is the manifestation of the fusion of Shinigami and Hollow powers.

Now he can fuse the various powers within him together.

The benefits from the 'Path of Transcendence' are higher than anticipated in July.

He originally thought that he needed to complete the 'Path of Transcendence' to achieve the fusion of multiple powers, but he ended up achieving this goal by training two disciples who reached their limits.

“My current strength is probably no less than that of Ichigo Kurosaki during the final battle, and may even surpass him... Our power levels may be similar, but my techniques far exceed his.”

July speculated that Kurosaki Ichigo's final form should be a state in which he fused multiple powers within his body.

That's also his current situation.

The shadow garment he wore was actually not only the power of his Zanpakuto, but also contained the power of Hollows and Quincy.

To break through this layer of shadow armor's defense, one would need at least the same level of power.

thump—

Nel teleported over and asked the question that had been on her mind: "Teacher, why can't I sense your spiritual pressure anymore?"

The teacher's current appearance didn't seem like she was suppressing her abilities, yet she couldn't sense the teacher's spiritual pressure.

July explained, "My current state has surpassed the limits of Shinigami and Hollows. This level has crossed a dimension, so you, who are still within the limits of Hollows, cannot sense my spiritual pressure."

Nilu looked confused and asked, "Is that so? In short, the teacher is much more capable than me, right?"

“That’s not wrong, is it…” July dispelled the shadow around her. “I’ve figured out your strength. Come with me to a place later.”

Nilu transformed back into human form and asked, "What else do we need to do?"

July said, "Go deal with the Zanpakuto of the Lord of Hell."

He once found a Hell Passage in Hueco Mundo, where the materialized Zanpakuto of the Lord of Hell was sealed.

However, due to insufficient resources at the time, they were unable to handle the matter.

The Lord of Hell is a powerful being at the level of a transcendent being, and his materialized Zanpakuto is by no means weak. Before he is certain of his abilities, July does not want to rashly break the seal.

July has now reached the Transcendent level and can begin to deal with this matter.

Having previously confirmed with the Soul King Palace that Yhwach had fused with the power of the Lord of Hell, July felt that if Yhwach could master the power of the Lord of Hell, his next step would most likely be the Lord of Hell's sealed Zanpakuto.

The Zanpakuto of the Lord of Hell originates from the Shinigami power within the Soul King, and can be seen as a fusion of Shinigami power and Hell power.

Therefore, Yhwach is very likely to seize that Zanpakuto.

In July, they wanted to deal with this issue before Yhwach made his move.

The Lord of Hell's Zanpakuto needs to be handled with caution. After thinking about it, July thought that Kyoka Suigetsu's ability might come in handy, so she took out the communication device to contact Aizen.

A moment later, Aizen Sousuke also arrived in Hueco Mundo.

"Sousuke, have you decided to fuse with the Hogyoku?" Nanatsu noticed the change in Aizen Sousuke.

Aizen Sousuke

[Talent: SSS]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv100+]

[Status: Hogyoku Fusion]

Aizen Sousuke has fused with the Hogyoku and is moving towards becoming a Transcendent!

"Teacher's observation is so keen; he saw through it at a glance." Aizen Sousuke couldn't help but sigh, feeling that no change in him could escape his teacher's notice.

“I am not as gifted as you, teacher, and I cannot strengthen the Hollow power within my body on my own.” Aizen Sousuke looked helpless. He had tried many methods during this period, but all of them had failed.

In the end, he chose to fuse with the Hogyoku to strengthen the Hollow power within his body.

"Although the paths may lead to the same goal, and the Hogyoku can help you overcome the limits of a Shinigami, you must always be vigilant and not be influenced by the will of the Hogyoku," July warned.

Having witnessed July's path beforehand, Aizen Sousuke had a clearer idea of ​​what lay ahead. After fusing with the Hogyoku, he did not evolve into a Hollow and did not lose his style.

In the world of Bleach, losing your style points is quite fatal!

“I understand.” Aizen Sousuke felt he could control the power of the Hogyoku. “Although after fusing with the Hogyoku, my connection with it is deeper and I can better understand its thoughts, it still cannot affect me.”

A moment later, the three arrived at the foot of a desolate mountain.

"Is this the hell passage the teacher mentioned?" Aizen Sousuke gazed at the mountaintop emitting wisps of white smoke. "The concentration of spiritual particles is higher than in other places."

A wisp of white smoke was rising from the top of the barren mountain, making it look like an active volcano.

However, there are no volcanoes in Hueco Mundo; the white smoke rising from the craters is water vapor emanating from lakes in the mountains.

“The passage is at the bottom of the lake in the mountains, and there is a guardian at the bottom of the lake watching over the passage,” July explained.
