Chapter 348: Terrifying Explosive Power
[Special Bloodline: Power of the Void. Vastold]

Pedigree rating: S+
Current level: MAX
Introduction: The power housed in it is composed of an artificial Vastod formed by the spiritual pressure of five Vastods. With the help of the power of the Collapsing Jade, it is infused into the spirit body of the Pioneer, allowing the Pioneer to gain the power of the Hollow.

Due to the characteristics of the artificial Vastod itself, this special bloodline is considered to be at the maximum level and cannot be upgraded through conventional means.

In order to protect the pioneer's soul and the bloodline from being devoured by unknown forces, the power of the void will not be manifested in normal conditions. It will only show its original power when the pioneer activates it.

Bloodline Skill 1. Void (Active)
Skill function: The Pioneer can enter a state of rapid stamina consumption and activate the Void skill. After entering the Void state, the Pioneer will gain a +3 to 10 point gain in all attributes based on the Pioneer's current state.

Tip: The higher the Pioneer's original attributes before the virtualization is activated, the lower the gain attributes brought by the virtualization will be.

Cooling time: none
Bloodline Skill 2. Wang Xu's Flash (Active)

Skill function: This skill can only be used in the virtual form. It consumes a certain amount of soul source and can release a virtual flash of 500% magic damage to the enemy. The upper limit of this damage is affected by the pioneer's mental power.

Bloodline Skill 3. Consumption (Passive)

Skill function: Limited by the influence of the Pioneer himself, the power of virtualization is essentially the input of alien souls. When the Pioneer uses the power of virtualization, the origin of this power will also be devoured by the Pioneer himself. The amount devoured varies depending on the usage time.

When the degree of devouring exceeds a certain limit, the power of the void will be permanently damaged and the bloodline rating will drop.

Warning: If the power is weakened for a long time and exceeds the final limit, the power will be completely devoured by the pioneer, and the bloodline will be erased from the pioneer.

Bloodline rating: It should have a higher rating.

Lu Li felt a little uncomfortable after reading the details of the bloodline. As a result, he and Sosuke worked for a long time, but what they finally produced was a consumable.

According to the detailed description of the third bloodline skill, there is an estimate of the duration of one's own activities. If one's virtualization does not exceed 30 seconds, the original power of virtualization will not be damaged.

Because as long as the virtualization is turned on, the strange power in his body will devour the energy of the virtual. Once it exceeds 30 seconds, the power of the Vastod-level artificial virtual in his body will be devoured and damaged. Even if it is turned off, it will not be able to recover slowly.

So even though the skill Void is marked as having no cooldown time, it actually does have one. After all, if he continues to use it without waiting for his strength to recover, his origin will be damaged in less than 30 seconds.

This feeling of not being able to last long is somewhat similar to when Ichigo Kurosaki first learned how to use the Hollow, except that Ichigo Kurosaki was unable to use the Hollow for a long time due to his lack of skill and physical strength, while I would lose this ability if I used it for too long.

According to the time in the detailed description, as long as he uses the Void ability for more than five minutes continuously, this ability will disappear completely.

It’s not a pity in the world of death. After all, even if he uses it up, he can still trouble Xiao Wu and the others to help him inject another one.

But this is not infinite. After all, creating a watt-level virtual being will also hurt their origin, and they also need time to recover.

In short, Lu Li now understood that as long as he had that strange substance in his body, he would not be able to possess alien soul power, and any void power that entered his body would be devoured.

Now he can use a little bit of the power of the void because he has the Chaos Spirit Seed. If it weren't for the Chaos Spirit Seed to 'protect' the power of the void and pull it against the power deep in his soul, the Watt-level void in his body would have disappeared.

After Lu Li stood up, under the gaze of Sosuke and everyone else, he put one hand on his face and slid it downwards, revealing a blurred mask.

"It seems to have been successful."

Aizen looked at Lu Li's changes, felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, a white mask appeared on Lu Li's face. The mask had purple and black stripes on it, forming a pattern with a strange beauty.

As Lu Li entered the virtual state, his aura surged, and his spiritual pressure was not much inferior to that of a Vastrod-level virtual being in the general sense.

Lu Li felt the surging power in his body. The virtual power was very magical, as if another living being had temporarily merged with him. It was as if he was wearing a coat of power and he could use this spiritual pressure to his heart's content.

However, after activating the virtualization, he also clearly felt the loss of the artificial tile-level virtual power in his body. The power deep in his soul was devouring him without any concealment, but he had no way to deal with it.

However, due to the control of the Chaos Spirit Seed, the current Watt-level virtual power is much more "durable" than before, and can be reused as long as it does not exceed 30S in full state.

In this state, Lu Li's comprehensive attributes all increased by 10 points, with the highest spiritual attribute reaching 92 points. The surging spiritual pressure was indeed quite intimidating.

Then, Lu Li performed the Shikai in this state, "Break the chains, prisoner demon."

Although he has the power of a Hollow, the use of his Zanpakuto is not affected at all. After his initial release, Lu Li's power is further increased.

But the weird thing is that his strength did not gain all attributes +5. It was not that the power of the Prisoner had become weaker, but the improvement brought by the Avatar had become smaller.

In other words, the power of the virtual enhancement has not decreased, but because his basic level is higher, the additional changes of the virtual are not so obvious.

Obviously, the higher the attribute points are, the more obvious the energy level difference is, and the limit of the Watt-level Void is originally around here. It is difficult to say that it exceeds its original limit too much because of the fusion addition.

This is the same as the Arrancar. For example, after Stark became an Arrancar, the increase in his spiritual pressure when he returned to his sword was probably less than 10% compared to before.

Nilu's improvement is more obvious, 30% higher than before she broke through; Xiaowu's improvement is about 20%, but considering that he can also perform the second stage of return to the blade, the actual total improvement may be greater than Nilu's.

But there is always a limit to improvement. The closer one is to the limit of a Hollow or a Shinigami, the smaller the improvement will be after becoming an Arrancar or becoming a Hollow.

"Sosuke, I want to test the limits of this state again. Please strengthen the surrounding barriers."

Lu Li reminded.

As he said this, he first exited the virtual state, and then used the Ghost Escape Armor to raise his attributes. Currently in this state, his comprehensive attributes have reached 94 points.

Then, he brushed his hand across his face and entered the virtual state again.

In the storm of spiritual pressure, even the five Vastodes looked sideways, only Aizen stood there with a calm expression, but his eyes were full of excitement.

In this state, Lu Li's comprehensive attributes reached 97 points, approaching the extreme of the fourth level!

Even for the present Vastod, perhaps only a spiritual pressure freak like Stark could surpass him in terms of spiritual pressure, but actual combat is not just about spiritual pressure.

In order to avoid excessive consumption of virtual power, Lu Li only maintained this state for a few seconds before releasing it. Experiments have proved that the description of space is very accurate. In his peak temporary state, the power of virtualization can only increase his attributes by three at most.

However, this improvement is already considerable. The most difficult thing is to go further. With such basic attributes, it can be said that he can fight many enemies in the world of Death.

Lu Li didn't know what other explorers were like, but he felt that his current explosive power was pretty good. Based on his lowest agility attribute, he had surpassed a full 23 points.

Taking his highest attribute of mental strength into account, it has also increased by 15 points. Lu Li is quite satisfied with this explosive power.

The more Lu Li delved into the ability to explode, the more he realized the importance of attribute balance. His strength and agility attributes were still significantly lower than his physique and mental attributes, and he felt a sense of effort every time he exploded.

He didn't notice it before when his overall attributes were very low, but now he finds that after his attributes have gone up, the most obvious impact on him is that his peak combat power time will become shorter and his body's balance will become worse.

When he was developing the combination of Ghost Escape and Instant Boom, he had some confidence because he had always had a strong control over his body, but he made a mistake at that time.

This is also a manifestation of physical instability, so Lu Li plans to use attribute points to raise his lower attributes after his return this time, so as to keep himself in a balanced state as much as possible.

If he could maintain a balanced physical condition, it would also be beneficial for him to develop the Ghost Escape Armor and control the violent power, and then proceed with his next fusion plan, which is to try to activate the Dragon Transformation Art and the Ghost Escape Armor together.

Because the essence of the Dragon Transformation Technique is to absorb natural energy, or in other words, to use the spiritual power of spirit particles for one's own use, the violent power of the Ghost Escape Armor is incompatible with it.

But Lu Li felt that the Dragon Transformation Technique was a very profound and advanced martial art. It would be a pity to give up practicing it. He hoped to further develop and integrate it so that its power could be incorporated as well.

"Mr. Lu, congratulations."

Seeing the power in Lu Li's body steadily ebb away, Aizen was convinced that Lu Li had gained control of the power and was happy that the experiment had succeeded.

"Thanks to Sosuke and everyone's help, I can control this power."

Lu Li thanked him, "Even without Bankai now, we are more than capable of handling the subsequent battles."

Having refreshed his peak to a higher level again, Lu Li was eager to try it out and couldn't wait to find someone to test his sword.

"Li, when you say battle, are you referring to the Quincy that invaded Hueco Mundo before?"

Nilu asked from the side.

"That was just one of them. You all saw Sosuke's fight with another person in Hueco Mundo before. He is also my target."

Lu Li said that the war with the Quincy camp was about to begin, and by then, whether it was him and Sosuke, or the Soul Singer and Kenpachi Zaraki, they would definitely seize the opportunity of this chaotic battle to target the enemy.

In order to avoid wasting time and causing Kenpachi Zaraki and the Soul Singer to overturn the table and expose all kinds of shameful things and drag him and Sosuke into the water, it would be better for them to resolve all the grudges in this battle.

"Then I'm going too!"

Nilu raised her hand and said, "I should be able to help."

Lu Li glanced at Nilu, and also saw the expressions of the others, and explained: "Later, the Death God will attack the living Quincy. After you show up, the spearheads of both sides may have to be turned around. The Xuye Palace needs guards..."

From his personal point of view, he did not want Nel and others to go to the world to get involved in the war. After all, although Vastod was strong, the God of Death had the captain-general to support him, as well as various masters who could threaten Vastod-level hollows.

And since the space will deploy the three explorers to each camp respectively, it is hard to say about the Hueco Mundo, but when the Quincy, a camp that is obviously going to be attacked, is assigned there, isn’t it unfair to the explorers of the Heavenly Dao Space?
Therefore, there must be other hidden stories behind the Quincy annihilation battle which was not recorded in detail in the original novel. The victory of the God of Death might not have been easy. If it was a one-sided battle, then the explorers of the Heavenly Dao Space would have had no chance to win.

After this analysis, Lu Li felt that there should be some very strong masters in the Quincy camp who were also strong enough to threaten the Wa-level Arrancar.

"No, Lu Jun."

At this moment, Aizen spoke when Lu Li was hesitating, interrupting his thoughts.

"Sosuke?"

Lu Li didn't know what the other party wanted to say.

"Mr. Lu, I think Nilu is right. We need everyone's strength."

Aizen said, "We want to make an end to Captain Zaraki and his men, so we can't do it directly on the battlefield. The captain-general will not let us go, so our real battlefield will still be in Hueco Mundo."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Li was a little confused and couldn't think straight.

Aizen sighed helplessly, "Mr. Lu, didn't you say before that you wanted to lure the enemy deep into our territory? How come you even forgot your plan?"

Lu Li scratched his head awkwardly when he heard this. "It was before, but now the situation has changed."

He did mention this suggestion to Sosuke last time, but he later found that it was not very realistic. Not to mention the risks of luring the enemy to Xiao Wu and others, it was a problem just how they should release the news so that only Kenpachi Zaraki and the Soul Singer knew about it.

All I can say is that he thought too simply. Now as the war approaches, he feels that there is even less chance.

"Mr. Lu, it is this situation that makes it easier for us to do things."

Aizen smiled and explained, "There is no better situation than a chaotic war. The forces of the Shinigami and the Quincy collide. This is a war between the Soul Society and the real world. Two of the three realms have already started a war, so it is reasonable for a third party to take action."

Lu Li seemed to understand a little bit, "Sosuke means that... Hueco Mundo can also directly enter at the appropriate time, there is no sense of incongruity in this?"

"That's right. Both Quincy and Shinigami are enemies of Hollows. At this point in time, if both sides are defeated in a war, it's normal for the King of Hueco Mundo to want to take action and wipe out both sides, right?"

Aizen said, looking at Stark and the others, "When the war situation deteriorates, I hope you can lead everyone to take action together, Stark."
