Bleach: From Rugum to Thousand-Year Captain

A black, tooth-like laceration slowly opened its fangs in the air, and incredibly violent and chaotic air currents began to churn around it.

Shikato Hakunsai's pupils contracted slightly, and he reached out to pinch Tengetsu Sukusai's chin and swayed it from side to side, as if trying to get a closer look.

Tianyue Quezhai slapped her hand away; "You have no manners, don't you know what boundaries are?"

"Well, I was just curious. I didn't expect you, Little Tengetsu, to be able to open the Hollow Cavity. Oh, it seems that a hundred years ago, when the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force suddenly returned to Soul Society, opening the Hollow Cavity passage was probably your doing. If I hadn't seen your red Shinigami Soul Movement with my own eyes, I would have thought you were a Hollow.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's go."

Tengetsu Sukusai and Shikatori Hakunsai entered Hueco Mundo and quickly passed through the Dangai to avoid any unfortunate encounters with a pursuit attack that might cause unnecessary trouble.

After a half-minute sprint, the two landed safely.

Beyond the dark cavity lies an incredibly dark cavern, where light can barely penetrate; it's practically pitch black.

In the pitch-black space, Tengetsu Quesai and Rokuto Hakunsai could already see countless scarlet light bulbs twisting and turning.

Shikatori Hakunsai sensed the spiritual pressure from the Hollows and eagerly drew his Zanpakuto, slashing a horizontal line at the crimson figures.

puff!

The slash formed by the pressure of Shiroku Hakunsai's sword only produced a clanging booming sound coming from inside the cave entrance, and then more than a dozen scarlet light bulbs disappeared.

However, even more powerful energy began to surge towards the exit of the black cavity where Tianyue Quezhai and Luqu Bayunzhai were located, and countless scarlet lights began to flash and converge.

"Oh ho ho, it seems we've fallen into the Hollow Forest, the lowest level of Hueco Mundo. What bad luck."

"Get out of the black cavity quickly, the space can't stay stable forever. As for these Hollows, they're just small fry, it's a waste of time to even pay attention to them, come on!"

Tengetsu Quezhai pointed towards the Great Void Forest, and an incredibly piercing light burst forth from his hand, illuminating the dark cave.

"Hado #20; Shiten-kyu!"

At this moment, seeing countless Gillian-level Hollows begin to writhe among themselves, Tengetsu Sukusai seemed to recall the clumps of white things inside the rotting corpses, and raised an eyebrow.

"Wang Xu's... Flash of Light!!!"

He held the divine truth horizontally in front of his chest, directly condensing a huge amount of energy and launching it within three seconds.

Terrifying, violent energy swept through the Great Void Forest, and the King Void's flash illuminated and destroyed everything like a laser cannon.

In an instant, the air in the Great Hollow Forest seemed to freeze, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the constant roars of the Kylians no longer echoed in the darkness.

Then suddenly, a powerful burst of energy erupted, as dazzling as a falling meteor.

The light from the energy explosion was as dazzling as the sun, illuminating the entire surrounding space.

The blinding red and black light carried a power that could erode everything, causing Shikatori Hakunsai to instinctively close his eyes to avoid being burned by its corrosive power.

The shockwave generated by the implosion of a mushroom cloud in a confined space is extremely deadly.

The powerful shockwave quickly reverberated and spread throughout the deepest part of Hueco Mundo, like a terrifying hurricane that was growing ever stronger.

The earth trembled, and the bone trees, which were as white as steel, crumbled and collapsed like tofu. The main trunk of the Great Void Forest also looked like it was about to fall.

Countless dust and pebbles were stirred up and filled the air.

This shockwave carried the power to destroy everything, mercilessly annihilating everything around it.

"Tengetsu Sukusai, what is that? Is it a Cero? But it's not Hollow spiritual pressure!"

Shikatori Hakunsai stared in shock at everything that was happening before him, as if the end of the world had come, leaving him utterly awestruck.

Where energy rages, no Hollow can survive; they are transformed into the sustenance of Hueco Mundo—the most basic spiritual particles.

"Binding Spell Number Seventy-Three: Mountain-Turning Crystal!"

Tianyue Quezhai realized that he had gone too far and hurriedly used the Mountain-Reversing Crystal for defense to prevent the two of them from being buried in the deep pit.

However, Hueco Mundo is still quite stable. It's fortunate that this Cero didn't collapse the bottom layer of Hueco Mundo.

His attack, the Cero, was essentially like manually crafting a nuclear bomb while in a basement; it was quite hilarious.

I'm fine, taking a direct hit from the King's Cero will only hurt me a little.

However, with Shirokuba Yunzhai still around, she couldn't withstand that level of impact with her large breasts, even with her steel-clad body.

Once the space stabilized, Tengetsu Sukusai immediately released the binding spell, grabbed Shikatori Hakunsai's shoulder, and leaped into the air, crashing directly into the sky.

After several uses of Instant Step and the paving of spirit particles, the two rushed out of the Great Void Forest and arrived on the yellow sand.

Lu Qu Bayunzhai rubbed her shoulders; she was already used to Tian Yue Que Zhai's rough actions.

This level of pain is nothing.

"I didn't expect your power to have reached this level. As a fellow Captain-level Shinigami, I feel that your power has completely surpassed mine. I have a feeling that even if I use my Bankai, I still might not have even a 10% chance of winning against you."

"Your feeling is right. My spiritual pressure is above yours; it's pure spiritual power suppression. So even if you use your Bankai, it's a drop in the ocean and useless against me, assuming it's under normal circumstances."

"Shikatori, you rely on your Zanpakuto far too little, which limits your ability to unleash your full potential. Of course, relying entirely on the release of your Zanpakuto in battle is also not advisable."

"To go further, you must maintain a balance while using your Zanpakuto."

"And this trip to Hueco Mundo is also for my Zanpakuto, Shinji."

Shikatori Hakunsai touched his Zanpakuto; "You mean my Hachinagi-zanpakuto? It's a physical direct-attack Zanpakuto, and even after its release, I still need to use slashing techniques to fight. I don't quite understand what you mean by balance."

"Using a Zanpakuto is using one's own power, isn't it? So how can it be considered dependent?"

Tengetsu Sukusai rubbed his forehead. Another barbarian was developing a Zanpakuto in a crude and unsophisticated way.

It's truly remarkable that Shikatori Hakunsai, that big-breasted, brainless guy, could reach the point of Bankai. It seems there's some truth to the saying that great strength can produce miracles.

Tengetsu Quezai explained his understanding, and Rokuto Bayunzai frowned after listening.

"So this is what Zanpakuto is really like? I haven't paid much attention to my Zanpakuto since I learned Bankai. That guy is a bit annoying, always bringing up my weaknesses."

"If that's the case, then communicating or fighting with a sword is a process of soul fusion. It seems I can continue to develop the power of Bankai."

Physics-based Zanpakuto have a high upper limit and a low lower limit; they all emphasize a single numerical value, like the power to send bricks flying.

To master a physical Zanpakuto, it's difficult to reach a high level without a hybrid power like that of the overpowered Kurosaki Ichigo.

"I see you practicing swordsmanship every day, are you just constantly developing your own power?"

"No, it's just that I'm used to it."

After hearing Tengetsu Quezai's pretentious words, Rokuto Hakunzai was sullen and annoyed.

Listen to whether this is human speech.

Tengetsu Sukusai and Rokuto Hakunsai walked aimlessly in one direction, completely unable to estimate the time.

The white desert of Hueco Mundo stretches as far as the eye can see, devoid of any life or vitality.

The sand dunes rise and fall like giant ocean waves.

A violent, dry atmosphere raged across the night sky; this was a forbidden zone for life.

The desert wind howled past, carrying a biting and piercing chill.

It blows through the white sand, creating a hazy vortex.

The sand grains spun rapidly in the wind, making a sharp hissing sound that could cause unease and panic.

Every now and then, small fry would pop up and dart around, devouring and killing each other without any sense of reason, even more ferocious than wild beasts.

This was the first time the two had witnessed mutual eating in Hueco Mundo, and they felt a unique emotion towards this scene.

The ignorant low-level creatures couldn't sense the spiritual pressure that Tengetsu Sukusai and Shikatori Hakunsai had concealed, and were instantly killed by the two, becoming nothing more than scrap.

After walking for about half an hour, to avoid the 'trouble' of countless small fry coming to their door.

Shikatori Hakunsai no longer restrained his captain-level spiritual pressure and released it voluntarily.

The lowly Hollows, overwhelmed by her captain-level spiritual pressure, naturally ran as far away as possible.

Those who considered themselves powerful Hollows came to his door but were all killed by Shikatori Hakunsai.

"Ugh... Pfft!!!"

Another Hollow was taken down, and Shikakuba Yunsai's face was slightly red from the slashing.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that cutting open the void was indeed more comfortable, and it lasted longer, but he was still not quite satisfied.

"They're all trash. There isn't even a Hollow of Adjuchas level. I wanted to fight the Void Hollows."

"Do you think Hollows are like cabbages? It takes at least a hundred years to nurture an Adjuchas-level Hollow. Vastod-level Hollows, on the other hand, are those with even better aptitude than Adjuchas-level Hollows. Generally, an Adjuchas can never advance to that level in its entire life."

"Just like the difference between a regular captain and Captain-Commander Yamamoto, there are also differences between Hollows."

"It's not enough to become a Hollow just by eating Hollows. Although Hollows have long lifespans, the process of generating power is too slow, making it difficult for them to develop reason and 'heart'."

Shikatori Hakuryuu waved his hand; "When I was a hero, I had already killed a Voidwalker. That kind of clumsy guy's strength was nothing special, I could still cut him down even without Bankai. If I used Bankai and fought desperately, I would have a great chance of winning against a slightly stronger high-ranking Voidwalker."

"Hueco Mundo is just an amusement park. If I could open the Black Chamber like you, I would wander around Hueco Mundo every day, just strolling around and having fun!"

Tengetsu nods inwardly, realizing that the first captains like Rokuto Hakunzai were indeed the same kind of people as him.

They all have a natural love for fighting and an indomitable spirit.

"So, where exactly are we going?"

"Go find the King of Hueco Mundo and ask him to lend you some power."

Tianyue Quezhai raised his index finger, looking mysterious and unfathomable.

.......

Chapter 125 Suicide?

The virtual circle, the virtual night palace.

In this desolate world where only endless deserts exist, a crescent moon hangs forever in the sky.

Under the shroud of eternal night, the Void beings living here can only feel boundless loneliness, if they can even sense it.

Tortoris exuded a wild aura, clumsily moving its massive and heavy white mountain of flesh, charging straight ahead with reckless impulsiveness.

"Are you some lowly nobody trying to join our king? Don't you know your place? Stop right there!!!"

Seeing Totoris charging towards it with its five-meter-tall body, Kalia immediately swung its drill-like tail in a sweeping attack.

puff!

Tortoris was pierced through by a single blow and collapsed helplessly at the bottom of the white steps.
