Chapter 1134: Yecheng's Bankai – Netherworld Bloodspring!
Chapter 1134: Yecheng’s Bankai – Netherworld Bloodspring!
Not only did Yecheng and Rijie Baro’s battle, but even their final confrontation with Yecheng, were seen clearly by Yuhabah through his “Foreseeing Dream.”
In his “Foreseeing Dream,” Yecheng was the first to stand before his throne.
In the future that Yuhabah saw, his defeat was not due to Yecheng alone, but to Yecheng, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Aizen combined.
It’s true that Yuhabah possessed omniscient and omnipotent power, and had even absorbed the residual power of the Soul King. Whether in terms of reiatsu, strength, or presence, he had reached the pinnacle of this world.
However, facing Yecheng, the Shinigami, Ichigo Kurosaki, the world’s illegitimate son, and Aizen, who had become powerful due to the Hōgyoku, in a three-on-one battle, Yuhabah ultimately met his end.
Yuhabah accused Yecheng of being overly arrogant, not only for letting him absorb the Soul King’s power but also for coming alone to face him, the boss, instead of waiting for the others to join forces.
Since in the “Foreseeing Dream,” he was defeated by Yecheng, Ichigo, and Aizen together, he would not let that future repeat itself.
Powerful reiatsu erupted from Yuhabah, and the entire Soul King’s Palace shook violently. His tangible reiatsu instantly transformed into a black reiatsu surge, spreading out in all directions!
As the black reiatsu soared into the sky, a black reiatsu canopy descended from above, enveloping the Ice Palace like a curtain.
Yuhabah’s actions were aimed at preventing Ichigo Kurosaki and Aizen from joining the battle.
Since he was defeated by the three of them working together in the “Foreseeing Dream,” as long as he could keep them apart and defeat them one by one, he would turn the tide.
Yuhabah’s “omniscient and omnipotent” power was truly extraordinary, to the point where, theoretically, he had no equal in this world.
Even someone as powerful as Kazeshini Ichibei, who lived in the same era as the Soul King and the Five Great Noble Ancestors, and who named the entire Soul Society, was easily defeated by Yuhabah’s “omniscient and omnipotent” power.
This power allowed him to see through the essence of others’ abilities, rendering them ineffective against him.
In the entire world, there were only three exceptions: Yecheng, Ichigo, and Aizen.
Ichigo possessed the combined powers of human, Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow, and Fullbring, making his potential to become a second Soul King undeniable.
Aizen, due to the Hōgyoku, had no upper limit to his strength. Even Aizen himself didn’t know to what level he could evolve, let alone Yuhabah.
As for Yecheng, he was completely inscrutable. If Ichigo’s complexity was a mix of elements, then Yecheng, in the eyes of Yuhabah’s “omniscient and omnipotent” power, was shrouded in a perpetual mist.
Watching the black reiatsu curtain fall around him, Yecheng remained calm and slowly drew his zanpakutō.
“It seems you’re worried about being outnumbered, but I never intended to rely on anyone else’s help.
Bankai – Netherworld Bloodspring!”
A blood-red reiatsu exploded from Yecheng, forming a pool of blood beneath his feet and spreading outward.
Beautiful, vivid red Otherworld Flowers bloomed continuously, quickly covering the entire Soul King’s Palace.
Indeed, while Yhwach used the Black Stream to form a canopy that enveloped the entire Ice Palace, it still couldn't stop the red flowers that symbolize death from blooming.
No matter where one stood in the Soul King's Palace, they could see the red flowers that represented death on the ground.
Originally, Yecheng's two zanpakutō, one long and one short, had now merged into a single blood-red long sword under his Bankai.
Like most Bankai, Yecheng's Bankai form also brought about significant changes to his appearance.
First, his originally black eyes and white hair had turned a deep crimson, like fresh blood.
Then, his captain's haori, which now resembled burning flames, was adorned with many images of demons in torment.
A blood-red Otherworld Flower mark extended from his heart to his cheek, pulsating with each beat of his heart, as if it were alive.
"Act One: Netherworld Otherworld Flower, Dark Bloodspring Night!"
With a swing of his long sword, a black night enveloped the surroundings, accompanied by the appearance of the legendary Netherworld and the Otherworld Flower.
When Yhwach, standing before Yecheng, regained his senses, he was astonished to find that Yecheng had completely disappeared from his sight!
At first, Yhwach thought that Yecheng had used some ability to conceal himself.
But soon, he realized that not only had Yecheng disappeared, but also the surrounding Star Cross Knights.
This meant that the ability wasn't affecting him but rather the environment around him.
"Although I don't know the exact nature of your zanpakutō's ability, as long as it's a Bankai of a Shinigami, I can absorb it and make it my own."
Yhwach, looking at the pitch-black space with only the Otherworld Flower and Netherworld visible, was about to use his Star Chapter when he suddenly noticed that his arm had been severed without him feeling it!
"‘Netherworld Otherworld Flower, Dark Bloodspring Night’ can pull the opponent into the Netherworld and strip away their senses, including their perception of reiatsu, according to my will.
Clearly, I just deprived you of your sight, hearing, and pain, so you didn't even notice when I cut off your arm."
As Yecheng's voice echoed, his figure slowly materialized before Yhwach.
Black reiatsu flowed from Yhwach's severed arm, and in an instant, the wound was covered and healed by a black substance.
To avoid being affected by Yecheng's Bankai again, the black reiatsu quickly enveloped Yhwach's body in the form of an outer garment, sprouting numerous eyes.
"I must say, your taste is quite mediocre, and you should take a look at your current appearance. Do you really think you deserve to call yourself a god in this state?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, Yhwach roared in anger, "The form of a god is nothing more than the delusion of mortals. Just like the Soul King, who, to those unaware of his existence, was merely a puppet stripped of his power."
"Seize the Holy Altar!"
As Yhwach spoke, he released multiple spirit bullets from his palm, forming a massive Quincy Five-Star Array above Yecheng, intending to steal his power.
But Yecheng, calmly observing the Quincy Five-Star Array above him, swung his blood-red long sword.
"Act Two: Netherworld Heart Devourer, Withering Fall into the Netherworld!" (End of Chapter)
