Chapter 655: Attack of Yhwach

Chapter 655: Attack of Yhwach

After arranging everyone's training plan, Lu Li heard a loud noise coming from outside Xuye Palace.

After sensing this spiritual pressure, even Xiao Wu and several other strong men had slightly changed eyes. They looked at Lu Li, as if seeking advice.

"This spiritual pressure... is it really Ichigo?"

"Kurosaki, can he be so strong?"

Rukia and Ishida said in amazement, as they felt Ichigo's Reiatsu expanding infinitely, becoming powerful and terrifying.

Rather than the Reiatsu of a Shinigami or a human, this Reiatsu gave them the feeling of being completely hollow.

boom--

There was a loud roar coming from the outskirts of Xuye Palace. It was obvious that a powerful attack had hit the thick wall.

Lu Li asked Rukia and the other two to stay calm, while he disappeared from the spot and appeared in the sky outside the Xuye Palace.

Nel and other Hollows were also curious, so they used Xiangxuan to follow, and then they saw the wonderful sight in the desert outside the Xuye Palace.

It was called a strange sight because they saw Grimmjow, who was ranked fifth in strength among the Ten Espada, being beaten up by Kurosaki Ichigo.

And this wave of torture had just begun. If they had arrived a step later, Grimmjow would probably have been killed by Kurosaki Ichigo.

Ichigo's mask, which originally fit his face perfectly without any extra shape, has become a full-coverage mask, and two things like horns have grown on his forehead.

He had a slender and powerful figure, and his feet became unlike those of a human after being transformed. His nails became very long, and they stepped on Grimmjow like sharp claws, embedding themselves tightly into his flesh.

With a roar declaring victory, a red flash condensed in the center of the bull-headed horns and aimed at Grimmjow on the ground.

"Damn... this kid... where does he get such strong power?"

Even though Grimmjow was crippled, he still refused to admit defeat, mainly because he felt that Ichigo Kurosaki's burst of power was too unreasonable.

Originally, Ichigo Kurosaki's movements after he turned into a Hollow seemed very immature to him. To a real Hollow, that fighting style could only be described as a poor imitation.

But after being suppressed by him for a while, Ichigo's fighting style became more and more proficient, and even when he used all his strength in the end, he could not easily destroy Kurosaki Ichigo.

His hot temper got the better of him during the fight and he forgot Lu Li's instructions. After transforming into a leopard king, he pierced Ichigo Kurosaki's chest with one claw.

Just when he felt the situation was a little bad and was trying to find a way to remedy the situation and bring Ichigo Kurosaki back to life.

As a result, Ichigo Kurosaki stood up from the ground and was resurrected with full blood. Not only that, two horns grew on his head, and the degree of his hollowness became even more serious.

"Sparasi——"

When Grimmjow was confused about the situation, a voice of exclamation was heard outside the battlefield. Grimmjow glanced and found that it was the neurotic scientist Sal Apollo, whom he had always hated.

I saw Sal Apollo was tapping on an instrument, apparently recording combat data.

Grimmjow was furious. He didn't believe in evil and rushed up to fight Kurosaki Ichigo, and the result was what happened now.

boom--

At the moment when the Gyuto Hollow's Hollow was shot out, Xiaowu's figure appeared at the same place. He just waved his hand horizontally and broke Ichigo's Hollow, saving Grimmjow.

"Ulquiorra..."

There was reluctance in Grimmjow's weak voice. In his opinion, the winner takes all, and it was a humiliation for him to be saved by Xiaowu.

"Kurosaki Ichigo."

Xiaowu stood in front of Ichigo, his voice flat and emotionless, "Have you lost your rationality? It seems that you have failed Mr. Lu's expectations."

Roar--

The only response he got was a violent roar. Ichigo, holding his Zanpakuto, swung it down with all his might at such a fast speed that he actually cut off one of Xiaowu's arms.

Xiao Wu Xiang dodged and grabbed Grimmjow with his left hand and threw him to where Nel and the others were.

"This power is somewhat similar to that of a Vastod-class Arrancar. If you can master it, then being Mr. Lu's disciple would not be a disgrace to Mr. Lu."

Xiao Wu looked down at his broken arm. When he defeated Kurosaki Ichigo's Hollow for the first time, his hand was already burnt. The opponent's sharp blade was still able to cut off his arm, which showed that Ichigo's current state was definitely that of a Wager-level Hollow.

Because he had been in charge of the Kyonaya Palace for many years, he was basically aware of all matters, big and small. After observing Ichigo's strength, he quickly came to a conclusion and glanced at Sal Apollo who was watching the show.

"Don't look at me like that. Your Majesty knows about this. I am only here to record the precious battle data and give it to Your Majesty for reference later."

As Sal Apollo said this, he respectfully saluted Lu Li who was standing on a high place to show his loyalty.

"Xiao Wu, suppress him."

Lu Kai spoke up, wanting to see Ichigo Kurosaki's limits as well.

As for whether Ichigo will completely collapse in this state, he is not worried, because the Gyuto Hollow is essentially a Hollow, and although it does not have much external rationality due to this form of appearance, it will not completely destroy Ichigo Kurosaki.

Kyopaku and Zangetsu are actually both Ichigo's Zanpakutō. To put it bluntly, this situation is simply cheating Ichigo and the couple doesn't want to see Ichigo die.

As a result, Ichigo was pierced through the chest by Grimmjow. In his near-death state, Kyūshiro used his super-fast regenerative power to help Ichigo repair his body, and his strength became a little out of control.

Lu Li once suspected whether Niu Tou Xu and Xu Bai were the same person, but after he came to the space and read all the comics, he confirmed his youthful guess from the details.

These two Hollows are indeed the same Hollow, because when Ichigo Kurosaki was learning the final Getsuga Tensho, the image that Hollow White transformed into was the Ox-Headed Hollow.

"The noise is endless..."

Ulquiorra placed one hand on the hilt of his sword, and when he raised his right arm, it had already regenerated at super speed. "Does cutting off one of my arms make you so happy?"

As he took a step, the dark green spiritual pressure on his body rose, "Kurosaki Ichigo, if you want to call yourself Mr. Lu's disciple, you are still far from it."

As he spoke, the spiritual pressure on his body suddenly swelled, shocking Ishida and his group who had arrived late and left them speechless.

"Seal it down, Blackwing Demon."

Along with Ulquiorra's low voice, his entire posture changed, and his powerful spiritual pressure made Ishida and others doubt their lives.

Bang—he raised his hand to block Kurosaki Ichigo's slashing attack, showing the momentum of being able to compete with him.

However, Niu Touxu was very wild, and seemed to become more and more courageous as the fight went on. He continued to attack Xiao Wu with a roar.

Seeing that this posture was unable to suppress Ichigo, Kuroko's spiritual pressure surged again and he entered the Second Stage of Blade Reincarnation.

In an instant, dark green spiritual pressure enveloped the entire sky. The Thunder Spear easily shook off the sharp blade of the Bull Head Void, and then swung it to cut off the two bull horns.

It seemed that the 'body' was cut off and the source of power was lost, or perhaps Ichigo's self-awareness was returning strongly. After the horns were cut off, the mask on Ichigo's face shattered and he fell down powerlessly.

"It's okay, it seems like Grimmjow can't teach him."

Lu Li commented on Ichigo's strength, and Grimmjow felt humiliated again when he heard these words.

He didn't expect that Ichigo Kurosaki, whom he looked down upon, would surpass him in just ten minutes.

This made him feel very uncomfortable, and he wondered what all his efforts over the years were worth.
"Grimmjow, you're doing great. Come to Sal Apollo's lab tomorrow and I'll help you get promoted."

Lu Li helped Grimmjow up and used Kaido and reversal techniques to heal his injuries.

Seeing that his serious injuries were healed in just a moment, Grimmjow felt that His Majesty's strength was unfathomable. Hearing that he could become even stronger, the joy in his heart overwhelmed his previous disappointment.

"Xiao Wu, you should teach him from now on until he completely masters this power."

Lu Li said that his idea was very simple. It was actually very easy for a Quincy like Ishida Uryu to improve.

As long as he is allowed to continue fighting with strong men and feel the pressure, Lu Li will then stimulate his potential until his innate power of the holy text awakens.

Ichigo is a little more troublesome, because in order to pursue Ichigo with perfect strength, that is, Ichigo who is a substitute for the Soul King, then Ichigo must awaken all relevant powers.

Quincy, Hollows, Fullbring, Shinigami, and humans, none of them can be missing.

These powers can only be gained step by step. Lu Li can now help Ichigo Kurosaki further develop the power of the Hollow, allowing this kid to grow in a short period of time to the point where he can gain some experience in the decisive battle.

Compared with these world protagonists, Lu Li felt that he was still too conservative when it came to cheating.

In the original novel, the thousand-year bloody battle lasted a total of nine days from the first wave of invasion to the final battle.

Ichigo Kurosaki has gone directly from the captain level to the strongest level below Youha. In terms of attributes, Ichigo Kurosaki has improved his comprehensive attributes by at least 30 points.

So Lu Li felt that as long as the conditions were right, it would not be a problem for him to train Ichigo Kurosaki to be a capable fighter in the five days before the war.

Look at the scene where Xiaowu carries the unconscious Ichigo. How could such conditions exist back then (in the original work)?

The Masked Corps teaches Ichigo how to use the power of Hollows, but how can it be faster than having Kougaru practice with you?
"Stop looking. Do you still want to save your friends?"

Lu Li glanced at Ishida and the others, "To be honest, I do have a way to send you to the Soul King Palace, but if your strength is not recognized by me, you will have to stay in Hueco Mundo for the rest of your life."

Ishida and the others felt a tightness in their hearts. Thinking of Ichigo's violent and ferocious power just now, they also began to have expectations and worries about their own training.

They hope to become stronger, but they are also worried that they will turn into runaway monsters.

If Lu Li knew what they were thinking, he would tell them that their worries were unnecessary. You want to go berserk and transform when you don't have any magic in your body? Do you think you are the protagonist of a youth comic?

…………

Five days later, in the Invisible Empire.

Below the steps, the dark blue light of the spirit particle illuminated the hall, and the army of the Quincy deployed in an orderly manner behind them, stretching so far that ordinary people could not see the end at a glance.

And at the very front, the elite Quincy knelt on one knee, ready to listen respectfully to the orders of the Quincy King.

"Time is up."

Yhwach spoke from the throne, reciting the ancient legend as if he were singing a poem, "The King of the Quincy took 9 years to regain heartbeats, years to regain sanity, years to regain strength, and finally days... to regain the world."

He stood up as he spoke, his black cloak fluttering in the wind, and opened his arms. "It's time to put an end to the grudge that has lasted for a thousand years."

"Yes!"

The Quincy Corps below stood at attention in an orderly manner, just like the German corps of a certain period, with their morale high.

With a wave of his hand, Yhwach opened the door to the target world and said, "Let's go, before the real war, let's conquer Hueco Mundo as a sideshow."

Many Quincies looked at Yhwach's back in admiration and followed him into the gate of light.

Because they had long planned to launch a surprise attack on Hueco Mundo before formally declaring war on Soul Society, the passage to Hueco Mundo had been prepared long ago and was wide enough for the Quincy army to pass through.

According to their military deployment, this time Yhwach will lead some of the Holy Word holders to attack Hueco Mundo, while the rest of Yhwach's guards will go to Soul Society first to declare war on the Shinigami of Seireitei.

Yes, they are still very particular and have no intention of starting a war without declaring war.

Of course, the first so-called declaration of war had a certain meaning of a sneak attack. In the execution process, the Soul Society would be caught off guard. If a few captains could be killed as a deterrent, that would be great.

Yhwach's order to the Guards was that Haschwalth, in charge, should declare war on his old rival, Captain-General Yamamoto.

He will quickly take over the Hueco Mundo, and then rush to the battlefield of Soul Society to personally deal with Captain-General Yamamoto.

In fact, they originally had a better strategy, but the damn thing is that two hundred years ago, their secret decisive weapon was leaked for some reason, causing the Death Gods to be prepared.

Therefore, the tactic of Xingzhang taking away the Bankai of the God of Death is no longer effective. Now they can only fight with hard power.

That is why Yhwach did not start the war nine days ago, but waited until now when his strength was fully restored and he was about to open his eyes before he could not help but take action.

After all, if he had to fight head-on, he felt that he should still give some respect to his opponent from thousands of years ago. The Zanka-dachi could indeed cause effective damage to him.

The Quincy army passed through the door. Yhwach looked up at the gray moon in the sky and felt that it was so lonely. It was similar to his ideal original world of nothingness. His mood after staying at home for a thousand years inexplicably improved.

The Stern Cross Knights around him were also eager to try, and with the permission from Yhwach's eyes, they rushed into this vast world one by one, ready to start performing their duties as Quincies and kill the Hollows.

What confused the Knights was that the landing point of this passage was chosen by them a hundred years ago, and the technical team continued to stabilize the passage, allowing them to land here accurately and quickly conquer Hueco Mundo.

Theoretically, they should be able to see the huge Xuye Palace in front of them, but why is it that all they see is a desert? Not to mention the Xuye Palace, they can't even see the shadow of Xu?
