Chapter 81 Encounter
King, this is not a title that anyone can have.

The king of Soul Society is the "Spirit King". One king and five dukes are the existences that stand at the top of Soul Society.

However, for him who knew the truth, the so-called "Spirit King" was nothing more than a "puppet" with a miserable fate, supported by the ancestors of the five nobles. He had no real power. The reason why he had always respected the Spirit King was just because the world needed the Spirit King to maintain its existence.

The five great nobles are the truly superior beings and the rulers of the world.

It's a pity that as time goes by.

The existence that was high and mighty in the past gradually fell into depravity and had to give up his noble status and associate with those lowly existences. It was also because of those lowly existences that they tried to judge him, a "noble" with noble blood. When he thought of those things that happened in the past, he became a little angry.

But it doesn’t matter.

Since there is no place for him in Soul Society, his existence is not acknowledged.

He would leave Soul Society and create his own kingdom. At that time, he would sweep all those corrupt nobles and lowly civilians into the garbage dump.

This world needs new changes.

After leaving Soul Society, he did not go to the real world.

The concentration of Respira in the real world is extremely low, and the people living there are all powerless humans. It is also the origin of the Quincy "rebels". He has no interest in it. Compared with the real world, the other world, Hueco Mundo, is of great interest to him.

In the world of Hueco Mundo, the strong are respected.

The weak crawl under the strong.

Such a world is really suitable for him to perform.

Although in front of Soul Society today, Hueco Mundo doesn't seem that powerful.

But through the records in some ancient books, he knew that the Hueco Mundo was far more than it seemed on the surface. The ancient Hollows even once reached the Soul King Palace, and even the young Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was no match for them.

Since Hueco Mundo can give birth to such a powerful Hollow, it proves that the upper limit of Hollows is far higher than he imagined.

If he could find a way to create this kind of Hollow, then the Hueco Mundo could become an extremely powerful force under his control.

Since coming to Hueco Mundo.

He came directly to the Great Void Forest surrounded by Great Voids. Finally, in the central area of ​​the Great Void Forest, he used his powerful strength to conquer a Great Void of the "Vastod" level. It can be said that they hit it off.

This Vastod named "Sarl Apollo" liked to conduct various research in the Hueco Mundo and had been conducting experiments on artificial Hollows for a long time. After he defeated his opponent and the opponent learned of his purpose, the two came together.

But soon, his attention shifted again.

Because he learned from "Sar Apollo" that there is a "king" in the central area of ​​Hueco Mundo, and this king is searching for powerful Hollows to be his subordinates, and has even built a magnificent palace in the center of Hueco Mundo.

Sal Apollo said frankly that if he could not obtain any research results in the Great Hollow Forest, he would not mind meeting the King of Hueco Mundo.

The dark green-haired man didn't care about what Sal Apollo said.

What he cares about is the identity of "king".

Originally, he was still thinking about what kind of identity he should use to rule Hueco Mundo. Since there is already a king in Hueco Mundo, this undoubtedly gives him a lot of convenience.

Of course, before that, the most important thing is still as he said.

Get rid of all those lowly gods of death.

He didn't want to see these eyesores anymore.

Sal Apollo didn't know what the god of death in front of him was thinking, but the opponent's strength was indeed very powerful. Facing such a powerful guy, even he had to consider the consequences of being an enemy of the opponent and had to temporarily submit to the opponent.

Of course, if he could find an opportunity, he wouldn't mind backstabbing the other party and conducting various experiments on the other party.

After all, Xu has been studying for many years, but he has not really studied the god of death.

"If it goes as expected, all the Shinigami entrenched in Hueco Mundo should be dead by now."

Sal Apollo was not unfamiliar with the God of Death. He had once sent Hollows to invade Soul Society.

It's a pity that he was stopped by a guy named "Kuriyashiki". However, that guy named Kuriyashiki didn't seem to have a good ending either. He was killed afterwards.

At that time, he had been hiding in the dark and had no direct contact with Kuriyashiki, but he did watch a good show.

Because he had done a lot of things before, he also knew the power of the god of death. As long as they were not monsters like Kuriyashiki, the large number of Killians alone should be able to kill them all.

The man did not respond to Sal Apollo's words.

Just at this time.

Lingzi's restlessness was immediately sensed by a god of death and a void.

"Is there a large Hollow casting a Hollow Flash around here?"

"It looks like a very fierce battle!"

Sal Apollo commented.

The man understood the rest.

“The…soul vein of the god of death…”

……

boom! !

A huge red flash of light gushed out, like a thick beam of light, attacking Xia Mu. The originally dark Great Void Forest was immediately illuminated with the appearance of this flash of light, and everything around was briefly reflected in Xia Mu's eyes.

Natsuki did not confront Hueco Mundo head-on.

Instead, he used instant step and dodged to the side.

Although Daxu's virtual flash is extremely powerful, it requires charging.

Unless it can be released instantly, as long as it still needs to charge, Xia Mu can dodge it with the help of instant step.

The red beam of light passed by him and then destroyed many white trees in the Great Void Forest. The raging spirit particle storm attracted the attention of many Great Voids to this side.

Xia Mu's figure flashed, and after dodging the virtual flash, he rushed towards the big virtual again against the trend.

The golden sword pressure burst out and disappeared in a flash.

A hideous wound appeared on Daxu's body, and the wound pierced through its huge body.

Bang!
Under the influence of powerful external force, it didn't even leave its corpse and was directly annihilated into a spirit particle.

Sheath the knife.

Xia Mu came to Unohana Retsu who was not far away.

"The closer we get to the center of the Great Void Forest, the stronger the Voids become. I don't know if we can find out the truth when we get there." Xia Mu said in a deep voice.

Unohana Retsu said: "No matter what, since we are here, we still have to go to the central area."

The light in the Great Void Forest is extremely dim.

Its area is also extremely vast. After all, it is the nest of the Great Void. This huge underground space is connected to countless caves, and in the caves, there live a large number of Voids.

Not all Hollows are Great Hollows, but to survive in this cruel dark forest, one must at least have a certain level of strength.

Fortunately, Natsuki and Unohana Retsu are not ordinary people.

They quickly headed towards the central area of ​​the Great Void Forest.

Suddenly, both of them stopped at the same time.

It was only because an extremely terrifying sense of threat was coming from all directions.

Virtual!
An extremely large number of Hollows. "I can now be sure that what the expeditionary force encountered may really be related to the Great Hollow Forest."

Feeling everything around him, Unohana Retsu suddenly spoke.

“There are indeed some problems!”

Xia Mu nodded.

Although he and Unohana Retsu did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts, they believed that they were in the Great Hollow Forest and did not deliberately create a big noise. As a result, such a large number of Hollows suddenly appeared around them.

It was as if it was waiting for them to fall into its trap.

coincidence?

No, it's not a coincidence.

But it was done deliberately.

In Hueco Mundo, superiors have absolute suppression over subordinates, and only higher-level Hollows can control such a large number of Gillians.

They just didn't know that the superior Hollow who was hiding in the Hollow Forest had discovered their existence and wanted to attack them.

Or is this Xu the mastermind behind the attack on the expeditionary force?
Whatever it is, just fight.

Xia Mu quickly made a decision in his heart.

"Dye it, Feiyuan!"

He released his Zanpakutō directly.

Although he could easily kill a Hollow like Gilian simply by relying on slashing techniques and flash steps without releasing his Zanpakutō, the speed was too slow to just chop them down one by one with the sword pressure.

At this time, it is better to release the Zanpakutō.

This is also the difference between him and the original Kenpachi Kuriyashiki.

When facing the challenge of Kenpachi Zaraki, Kuriyashiki was too concerned about the prohibitions of the Central Forty-Six Chambers, and not only did he not use his Bankai, he didn't even use his Shikai during the battle. Of course, even if he didn't release his Zanpakutō, he could easily defeat the Hollow.

But without the use of Zanpakutō, he was still unable to reach his strongest combat power.

Of course, there was also the factor that Kenpachi Kuriyashiki was concerned about hurting his teammates.

But no matter what, the other party is still too old-fashioned after all.

Although this kind of person is very powerful, Xia Mu does not approve of his persistence.

But Xia Mu is different.

Xia Mu's bottom line can be very flexible at times.

As the Zanpakutō was released, a light red mist spread in all directions in an instant. As Natsuki's spiritual power continued to increase, after the Zanpakutō was released, the range of the mist became larger and larger. Of course, he could also control the range by controlling the spiritual power injected into the Zanpakutō.

It seems that this is just a change of environment and it is of no great use.

But this is not the case.

When the fog spread, because the fog was filled with Xia Mu's spiritual power, he could use the fog to gain vision, which was an all-round vision with no blind spots.

In addition, if he chooses to take the red mist back into his body, the spirit particles in the air in the area covered by the mist will also be plundered by him, and then become a help for him to launch attacks.

This ability to plunder spirit particles is somewhat similar to that of the Quincy.

But it's different.

The Quincies simply condense the spirit particles around their bodies, which are manipulated by them and turned into weapons to launch attacks, while Natsuki will absorb them into his body and then use his own spiritual power to transform them into spiritual pressure and burst out.

This is somewhat similar to the ghost way, but its power exceeds the ordinary ghost way.

This is also his main ability when his Zanpakutō is in Shikai state.

Not to mention the passive ability that can devour spirit particles and continuously enhance one's own spiritual power.

Its spiritual power can be directed outward to obtain a wide field of vision, and enemies hiding inside will have nowhere to hide.

Internally, it can gather all nearby spirit particles into the body, and then release them instantly.

Just like this moment.

Shrouded in red fog, Xia Mu figured out the locations of the surrounding Great Voids.

Then, the red light on the scarlet Zanpakutō in his hand became increasingly intense, as if scarlet blood was about to flow from it.

Unohana Retsu stood beside Natsuki, her eyes flickering. It was not the first time she saw Natsuki release his Zanpakutō.

She was a witness when Natsuki challenged Kenpachi Kiganjo.

However, because of the distance at that time, I couldn't see Natsuki's Zanpakutō as closely as I am now.

This kind of Shikai made her think of her own Bankai.

"They are so similar!"

After she performed Bankai, scarlet blood flowed from the knife.

The next moment, the red mist shrank rapidly, just as they appeared when they met, and after another meeting, they disappeared at the same time.

As it disappeared, Xia Mu leaped up, wearing a layer of blood-red gauze, and swung the blood-red Zanpakuto in his hand.

A red slash like a gigantic waning moon flew out.

Dark forest illuminated.

Many tall figures appeared, but before they could launch an attack, they were all chopped to pieces at the first sight and turned into pure spirit particles.

Xia Mu's actions did not stop. Under the blessing of this state, not only his own powerful spiritual power was mobilized, but the nearby spirit particles entered his body, which also brought him great blessings, allowing his state to surpass the past and reach the peak in an instant.

His spirit body was strengthened.

Whether it's speed, strength, or perception, they are all more powerful.

This is also the reason why Xia Mu would be patient enough to learn the techniques of cutting fist and escaping ghost.

Compared to many Zanpakuto with numerous abilities and extremely strange features.

Apart from the strange passive ability to increase spiritual power of his Zanpakutō, after the initial release, its frontal combat capability is actually only average. In other words, the upper limit of these abilities depends on his own strength.

The stronger he is, the more powerful he will become with the blessing of his Zanpakuto.

Scarlet slashes continued to appear.

One after another, the great voids fell down and were annihilated.

In an instant, they all turned into spirit particles. The powerful spirit particles gathered and quickly filled the gap in space where the spirit particles disappeared due to Xia Mu's plundering, so a huge spirit particle storm was not formed. If Xia Mu wanted, he could disperse his spiritual power again, turning it into red mist, and start plundering again.

But he didn't do it.

But came to one place.

The Zanpakutō in his hand swung, and the scarlet slash went forward.

But it was blocked by another extremely powerful attack.

The two slashes collided, and the aftermath spread in all directions. Many cracks immediately appeared on the two stone trees. Finally, the branches fell to the ground with a dull sound, and smoke and dust poured out from the ground.

The gazes of Xia Mu and Unohana Retsu simultaneously became serious, staring at the source of the other slash.
