Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy

The three crossed the mountaintop and entered the interior of the mountain.

Just like when I last visited in July, many small animals still inhabit this place.

There were two large Hollows by the lake, and they were startled by the sudden appearance of the three people.

Nelu and Harribel lived here for a period of time. After settling in Las Noches, they even sent two Arrancar to guard this place to prevent the guardians of the Hell Passage in the lake from being disturbed by outside Hollows.

"The boss and Lord Shikatori have arrived!"

The two Hollows guarding this place are Pei Xue and Dong Dechaka.

“Long time no see, Pessell, Dondchaka,” July said gently.

"Lord Shikatori still remembers us!"

Pesser and Dondchaka clapped their hands at each other, looking very happy.

“Of course I remember you. You are rare Hollows who are full of emotion,” July said.

Even Hollows transformed from human souls are mostly controlled by extreme emotions. This situation is alleviated after evolving into a Great Hollow, but only a few Great Hollows are completely unaffected by their personalities.

"We are special!"

Pei Xue and Dongdechaka laughed loudly.

"We need to go down to do some business. You all stay here."

"As ordered!"

Pei Xue and Dongdechaka stood at attention and saluted, but their strange appearances made them look somewhat comical.

The three arrived at the bottom of the lake. In July, a pure spiritual particle condensed, and with a wave of his hand, the spiritual particle condensed into the lava at the bottom of the lake.

The guardian at the bottom of the lake reacted quickly.

The direction of the lava flow at the bottom of the lake has changed, and it is flowing to both sides.

Immediately afterwards, the lava cracked open, creating a deep trench in the middle. Instead of flowing into the trench, the lava flowed to both sides.

Subsequently, the width of the trench rapidly increased.

It was as if an earthquake had occurred at the bottom of the lake, and the creatures in the lake were also frightened, so they all swam upstream.

Soon, an eye appeared from the crack in the lakebed.

The lava on both sides did not flow into the eyes; the lava seemed to be a layer of skin covering the eyes.

Chapter 428 Evil Blade

"Are these the guards of the Hell Passage?"

Aizen Sousuke stared at the large eyeball at the bottom of the lake.

"A Quincy...?"

In the perception of a person with keen spiritual sense, there are obvious differences in the spiritual pressure of Shinigami, Hollows, and Quincy. Aizen Sousuke quickly discerned that the large eyeball was neither a Shinigami nor a Hollow, but a Quincy.

"My lord...have you already surpassed your limits?"

July heard a cold, hollow voice with a hint of surprise.

The girl with the big eyes continued, "It doesn't seem like long has passed since we last met..."

It has lived through a long period of time, sleeping since ancient times until it awoke in July. Therefore, in its eyes, several decades is not a long time.

It was quite unexpected that July would achieve its goal of surpassing the limits of death in such a short period of time.

July nodded and explained her purpose: "Well, I'm here to deal with the Zanpakuto of the Lord of Hell."

"Please wait a moment..." A glimmer of light appeared in the large eyes as he said, "Allow me to examine the seal..."

After a moment, the glimmer of light in the large eyes dimmed, and he continued, "The seal that sealed the will of hell has been destroyed. Now is indeed the best time to deal with the evil blade..."

The reason why the Soul King sealed the Zanpakuto of the Lord of Hell was because of the requirements of the sealing technique.

These three special locations in Hell are interconnected, forming a trinity, each with its own function. The entire seal possesses functions such as absorbing spiritual particles and self-repairing, preventing the Lord of Hell from breaking free of the seal on his own.

Now that the seal that sealed the will of hell has been destroyed by Yhwach, there is no need to keep the Lord of Hell's Zanpakuto in order to maintain the seal.

"Are you going in too?" The big-eyed man glanced at Aizen Sousuke and Nel and reminded them, "The evil sword has the power to bewitch people. Those who were defeated by the evil sword in the past will become a part of it. If you are defeated by the evil sword, it will make the evil sword's power even stronger."

"Now that we've come this far, there's no reason to back down."

"I want to help too!"

Aizen Sousuke and Nel both nodded in agreement.

"This is the incantation to break the seal." A spiritual incantation was projected from the large eyeball and landed in July's hand. "Place it on the evil blade, and the seal will be broken..."

Then, a violent tremor came from the bottom of the lake, and a huge eyeball floated to the surface.

The lava at the bottom of the lake was indeed all the skin of the big eyeball, and after the big eyeball floated up, the lava on its body did not flow down.

A moment later, a deep pit, comparable in size to a football field, appeared where the big eyeball had been stuck.

In the deep pit, a stone door slowly opened, revealing a bottomless passage.

"I have opened the passage to hell..."

"Everyone, please be extremely careful... lest the evil blade stir up any delusions within your hearts..."

"Thanks, big eyes!" Nilu patted the big eyes' lava-like skin curiously. "Ouch, it's hot—it really is lava!"

The skin of the large eyeball was indeed magma, but it was bound to the outer shell and did not flow down.

"let's go!"

In July, they led the way into the deep pit tunnel.

The underwater passage was bottomless, and even at their own pace, the three of them hadn't reached the end after two or three minutes of rapid travel.

Nel looked puzzled: "Is Hueco Mundo really that deep? If you dive that deep in the Hueco Mundo desert, you should have reached the Hollow Forest underground long ago."

“This is no longer Hueco Mundo.” July had already noticed the hidden spell on the passage and explained, “Hell is not underground in Hueco Mundo, and this passage does not connect to the underground of Hueco Mundo. You can think of this as a ‘severed boundary’ leading to Hell, a passage connecting two worlds.”

A moment later, the three arrived at the end of the passage.

At the end of the passage was an open stone door. After the three of them passed through the stone door, they arrived in hell.

After observing the surroundings in July, it was clear that this place was a cave.

The three of them were at a human-shaped fork in the road, with two other paths branching off from the passage behind them.

"Is this hell?"

The environment here made Nilu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"The spiritual energy here is very strange."

This is Nel's first time encountering a spirit particle with a hellish aura, but since she uses her own spiritual pressure in battle, it won't affect her performance in the short term.

"The spiritual particles in the environment are all spiritual particles containing the aura of hell; it must be hell itself."

"These are antibody drugs developed by the Technology Development Bureau." July took out a few pills and handed them to Nilu. "They can purify the hellish spirit particles absorbed by spirits."

July and Aizen Sousuke have already surpassed the limits of Shinigami; their spirits now possess the ability to automatically purify Hell Spirit Particles, so they don't need to take any antibody drugs.

However, Nel is not yet able to purify the Hell Spirit Particles and needs to take antibody drugs.

Nilu took the pill, popped it into her mouth, chewed it a few times to taste it, and swallowed it with a bitter expression: "So bitter!"

"Should we notify the Grim Reaper stationed outside?"

One of the paths led outside, and Aizen Sousuke sensed the Shinigami outside the cave.

The cave is sealed with layers of spiritual energy techniques, and they are currently within the seal, isolated from the Grim Reaper outside.

The Grim Reaper outside the cave is the expeditionary force of Hell.

The seal that contained the consciousness of hell has been destroyed.

The Hell Expeditionary Force stationed troops at the other two sealed locations to guard against Yhwach and the Lord of Hell breaking the seals.

Moreover, both sealed locations are guarded by captain-level Death Gods on rotation.

The people currently on duty here are Kenpachi Zaraki and Kenpachi Kuruyashiki.

"No need. With the sealing spell in place, they can't get in. Let's go deal with the evil blade directly."

July led us down a fork in the road that led in the opposite direction from the outside world.

The further you go in, the more sealing spells appear on the walls, densely packed like thin threads extending to the end of the passage.

At the end of the passage was a Zanpakuto stuck in the ground, with countless sealing techniques wrapped around its blade like chains.

July opened his palm, and the spiritual technique that the big-eyed boy had given him flew out and landed on the sealed Zanpakuto.

The sealing technique on the Zanpakuto quickly faded and disappeared.

The next moment, billowing red smoke suddenly emerged from the Zanpakuto's blade and surged towards the three of them.

"The seal on the evil blade has been broken, be careful!" July warned.

The billowing red smoke enveloped the three of them at an extremely fast speed, pulling them into a strange space filled with red mist.

"It's somewhat like the environment created by All Extinction..."

July looked around and, apart from the absence of a blood pool on the ground, the surrounding red mist was very similar to the environment created by Unohana's Bankai.

However, the effect of this red mist is completely different from the red mist created by Jie Jin.

From within the red mist, countless faint, blood-red figures gradually emerged.

Chapter 429 The Demon Reflected in the Heart

The red mist pulled July and her two companions into a strange, red misty space.

"I can't sense the black cavity anymore!"

Nilu's expression changed slightly; this red mist space had actually isolated her from the black cavity.

This means she can't use the spinning top here!

The ability to rotate is achieved by using a black cavity; if one cannot enter the black cavity, one cannot use the rotation.

Fortunately, her teacher also taught her the Shinigami's Shunpo (Shunpo Technique).

Shunpo is a rapid movement ability that uses spiritual pressure. If someone teaches you, even a Hollow can master Shunpo.

“This is an isolated space, cut off from the outside world.” July raised her hand, and a bolt of lightning shot out from her fingertips.

The lightning bolt quickly flew into the depths of the red mist, but after a while it failed to strike the boundary of this strange space.

“Boundless and limitless?” Aizen Sousuke frowned. “It seems we won’t be able to get out until we’ve dealt with the enemy.”

"The enemy has appeared!" Nel didn't dare to be careless and quickly entered her half-human, half-antelope form.

From within the red mist, countless faint, blood-red figures gradually emerged.

"These are the servants of the Evil Blade?"

Nilu's eyes narrowed as she sensed the spiritual pressure emanating from the evil sword servants; many of them were actually captain-level powerhouses.

The evil blade possesses the power to bewitch people; those who were defeated by it in the past will become a part of it.

The Lord of Hell, who rules over Hell, once used it to defeat countless powerful enemies. These ancient powerhouses have now become servants controlled by the evil blade.

The evil blade's servants surrounded the three, but the evil blade itself was nowhere to be seen, seemingly with no intention of showing itself for the time being.

A blue-haired, evil-sword servant brandished his blade, instantly creating a giant wave tens of meters high that crashed down on the three of them.

Nilu stepped forward and thrust her flaming short spear forward, blasting a large hole in the crashing wave.

shhhhh--

Several figures passed through the large hole that Nil had made.

Flaming vines, lightning bolts, ice spikes, and blades all rushed towards Nel.

Nilu's antelope half-body was large, but actually very agile. She used her flaming short spear to deflect the first lightning strike, instantly disappearing from her spot, passing over the fiery vines and ice spikes, and heading straight for the blue-haired man with a knife at the back.

The flaming pistol lifted the blue-haired man with the knife and slammed him to the ground.

boom!
