Chapter 667: The Humiliated Spiritual King

boom--

With a huge roar, five thunder beasts exploded, and the legendary leader of Squad Zero, Ichibei Hyoshubu, who had lived for a million years, was completely wiped out.

Lu Li snapped his fingers, and the thunder in the sky disappeared. He slowly fell from the sky and stood in front of the sacred path of the Spirit King's bedroom.

"Win...win?"

Inoue Orihime stared at the scene blankly. Her strength was relatively weak and she didn't understand what had just happened.

But the person who disappeared in the end was the monk, not Kurosaki's master.

Lu Li stood in front of the shrine and called out softly, "Ichibei, the Hyoshubu."

The next moment, the monk's figure appeared again in front of the shrine, but there was still fear in his eyes.

"Should I say long time no see now?"

Lu Li smiled, then raised the giant blade in his hand, "Then, goodbye forever."

As he spoke, he raised his sword and killed the weakened monk again. This time, not even a trace of his spirit was left. Even if someone called his name, it would be impossible for him to be resurrected.

"Boy, you're going to regret this."

Before he died, the monk left behind a sentence that revealed his unwillingness and hatred.

It seemed that he felt that Lu Li was not able to handle the affairs of the Spirit Palace and would eventually become a wedding dress for Yhwach.

"What a weak and cruel word..."

Lu Li smiled and shook his head. What the monk didn't know was that he was originally planning to help Youhabach.

However, the Soul King cannot be killed by Yhwach alone. He must deal with him first. Otherwise, his main quest will not be completed and he will be missing the largest piece of the World Core fragment.

Lu Li said as he strolled across the Shinto shrine, with the shouts of Hikifune Kiryu still to be heard behind him.

"Lu Li, turn back. The Spirit King is indispensable to the Three Realms. If you touch the Spirit King, the Three Realms will collapse and disappear."

Hikifune Kiryu shouted, "Even if you don't consider your former comrades in the Gotei 13, you should at least consider your friends in Hueco Mundo, right?"

Lu Li had already walked to the door of the Soul King's bedroom and stood with Inoue Orihime without looking back. "Is it really right to build an unstable world on human sticks? Maybe we have just been deceived for too long."

As he spoke, he led Orihime into the Soul King's chambers and saw the Soul King sealed in a crystal.

"Master Lu... this is the Spirit King."

Orihime said at the side that she had seen it in advance and now felt like a dream.

After all, she was just an ordinary high school girl a few months ago, but a series of events sent her directly to the place where the fate of the world is decided.

“How pathetic.”

Lu Li sighed, "So, what does the monk want you to do?"

He just heard Orihime say that the monk wanted to find a replacement for the Soul King. The reason why he had such a foresighted plan was that Lu Li felt that the monk had already known that Yhwach would be resurrected and that Team Zero might be defeated.

That's why he allowed the other members of Squad Zero to lift the seal of the Blood Alliance and began to prepare a new Soul King.

But the problem is that monks should not have such a source of information. Lu Li guessed that the explorer might be interfering.

There are not only these few members of Squad Zero in the Soul King Palace. There are also members of Squad Zero's entourage, who are similar to the soldiers of the Gotei 13. Kirinji has subordinates who help him manage the hot springs, and other people do too, but they don't have many roles in the original work.

Lu Li felt that there were explorers mixed in among these people, but things had come to this point and he was too lazy to specifically kill some weak explorers. Anyway, the situation was still under his control.

"They increased my power, hoping that I could use my ability to reject phenomena to retrieve the scattered parts of the Soul King."

Orihime explained nervously, honestly she didn't know what the point of doing this was.

"Can you repair the Soul King?"

Lu Li looked at Orihime in surprise.

Orihime shook her head, "No, I failed. I could only sense where those parts were."

Lu Li was somewhat stunned when he heard this. The explorers should also know that Orihime's power came from the Soul King, so it was of course impossible to reconstruct the Soul King's body.

But her ability is essentially a state-based time reversal. For example, if Grimmjow's arm was beaten off, Orihime's ability can go back and reconstruct an arm for Grimmjow.

Although the Soul King's body is scattered all over the place, it actually still exists and is active. Orihime certainly cannot create additional limbs out of nothing. That would be equivalent to creating additional powerful energy, which is impossible with Orihime's ability.

However, due to the nature of her ability, when tracing back, it will be related to the other limbs of the Soul King, so the monk can use Orihime's ability to find those large parts of the Soul King.

“How much have you collected so far?”

Lu Li inquired. He didn't want to follow the original story. After Yhwach absorbed the Soul King, the world would collapse. At that time, Ukitake Jushiro would have to sacrifice himself to stabilize the Three Realms, which would make him very unhappy.

The monk's plan to replace the Spirit King might come in handy here.

"We have found the liver, stomach, spleen, right leg, and left leg of the Ling King."

Inoue Orihime said, pointing to a box in the corner of the room that was protected by Kidō Kouki, "It's all there."

Lu Li was a little surprised, "It's so efficient!?"

You have to know that it only took Inoue a few days to help find the Soul King's organization, but he ended up finding a bunch of the Soul King's body tissues. This efficiency is much higher than that of Yhwach.

In the thousand years of Yhwach's existence, there were only three of them in the Royal Guards. Who would have known that Squad Zero would get a bunch of them in just a few days.

At this time, Lu Li's Observation Haki also discovered that there were several figures below, sneaking towards the Spirit King's bedroom, as if they were hesitant about whether to come over.

It goes without saying that the explorers are already going crazy over these Soul King organizations within the Soul King Palace.

Referring to the power of the Collapse Jade and the various parts of the Spirit King, if these tissues could be obtained by explorers, taking them back would at least be a mythical bloodline item, which would be extremely tempting to them.

These explorers may not have any big dreams, and have no intention of subverting the Soul King Palace and the Three Realms. They persuaded the monk to use Orihime to find the Soul King's organization, most of them just want to get a piece of the pie. Now that the monk is dead and the Zero Squad is almost wiped out, it is impossible to say that they have no intentions, but they have seen how powerful Lu Li is, and they all think that he is a super killer, so they dare not come up to negotiate.

Lu Li ignored the sneaky explorers, walked over to the box, violently broke the seal of the ghost path, and checked the Spirit King organization inside.

The missions in the space are also very strange. To obtain the fragments of the world's core, one must either kill the target or use an extractor to extract it. The latter method requires that the opponent cannot resist, so when facing the enemy, Lu Li usually kills him directly.

The characters involved in the world core fragments in the main quest are all related to the Soul King, but the Soul King’s organization does not represent the world core fragments.

Just like when Lu Li got the organization of these Spirit Kings, apart from selling them as props, it did not increase the progress of the mission.

On the other hand, Lu Li can also extract fragments of the world's core from the Spirit King's body, but it will not affect the Spirit King's own power.

So in Lu Li's understanding, the core of the world is not a simple energy body, or it is not an energy body in his understanding, but another kind of substance.

"Orihime, you can go down and find Ichigo first. He is reforging his Zanpakutō in the Phoenix Hall. I have some things to do here."

Lu Li put away the Spirit King's tissue first, and then said, "The following scene may be a bit bloody, and you will feel uncomfortable after watching it."

When Orihime heard that Ichigo was here, her eyes lit up. Plus, she felt that Lu Li didn't want her to stay here, so she nodded quickly, "Then I'll go down first. Please be careful."

After saying that, she trotted away from King Ling's bedroom.

After Inoue left, Lu Li raised his hand and used the power of Wanxiang Tianyin to grab the monk's body.

His real name is Hu Heshang. He is the oldest living being in existence and possesses the power of a Spirit King. Lu Li feels that he is a good substitute for a Spirit King.

But the monk would not do that. After all, he wanted to be the living second in command, not the number one in command.

Now the monk is dead, but his spirit has not dissipated, just like a captain who is too powerful must have his soul buried before he can return to hell, a man as powerful as the monk will not disappear after his death unless he is sent away with a special ceremony.

Therefore, his spirit body can also be used as a container by Lu Li.

After placing the monk's body, Lu Li walked to the Spirit King and placed his hand on the crystal. He himself possessed the power of Broken Jade, and it could be said that he had a certain connection with the Spirit King, so he could communicate in this way.

"The true founder of the Quincy, having fallen to this state, has he developed feelings for the world he protects?"

Lu Li inquired, the Spirit King's consciousness would communicate with him directly, but not with words, but in a more mysterious way to convey his will.

Soon Lu Li received a reply from the Spirit King, learned the Spirit King's true thoughts, and also gained an understanding of the ancient secrets.

The Spirit King did not volunteer to become a human stick to guard the Three Realms, but he has become like this after being attacked. He has watched this world run for millions of years and feels that the Three Realms are pretty good now, so he cannot bear to let the Three Realms collapse.

In essence, the Spirit King is a Mother God, or the Holy Father, whose real name is Adnais, which corresponds to 'adhonay' in religion, or God.

Anyone who is made into a human stick will feel resentful, and the Spirit King is no exception. However, although he endured humiliation for a long time, he also saw the beauty of the world's development and could not bear to let the three realms be in turmoil again.

So at this time, the Spirit King prayed to Lu Li not to let the Three Realms collapse, and not to let Yhwach subvert the existing situation.

"It's impossible for the Three Realms to remain unchanged. You probably don't want to see a world with so many loopholes struggling to continue."

Lu Li said with emotion, "I promise you that I will not destroy the existing three realms. I will create a more stable world and completely solve the hidden dangers of hell. And your humiliation, this eternal torture, will also come to an end."

The Soul King inside the crystal remained motionless, but tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Because it was almost a communication between the hearts, the Spirit King could be 100% sure that Lu Li was not lying and all his words came from the heart.

Moreover, his omniscience and omnipotence are even greater than that of the current Youhabach. In a sense, it was he who guided everything and led to the current situation.

After confirming Lu Li's sincerity, he felt a million years of sadness surge into his heart, and at the same time he saw the beauty of the future.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

This time, the Spirit King's voice sounded in Lu Li's ears, instead of a spiritual communication.

After saying that, he fell silent, and faced the World Core Extractor in Lu Li's hand without any resistance.

The Spirit King seemed to have foreseen the future. His humiliation would end, his mission would end, millions of years of torture would come to an end, and he would be able to rest soon.

After absorbing the fragments of the World Core, Lu Li did not take any further action. He did not intend to kill the Spirit King because he had not yet prepared a replacement for the Spirit King. The Three Realms would collapse because of the Spirit King's death.

Besides, he is not like Kurosaki Ichigo who has gathered the power of Quincies, humans, Shinigami, Hollows, and Fullbring, and he does not have the ability to break the crystal and kill the Soul King.

If the power of the Soul Eater is combined with the Prisoner's frenzy attack, it will probably take three days and three nights to kill the Soul King. By that time, the Soul Society below will probably be dead.

Lu Li walked down from the platform and merged the Spirit King's right leg and left leg, the two large parts, into the monk's spirit body, preparing to make his body into a new wedge in case of emergency.

Judging from the fact that the Spirit King's right arm can stabilize the three realms, if he wants to use it as a wedge, he doesn't necessarily need a lot of Spirit King organizations; two legs should be enough.

There is no need to overestimate the power of the Soul King himself, because after millions of years of destruction, the Soul King had long been hollowed out by the nobles headed by the Tsunamishiro family.

Because they were afraid that the Spirit King would break free of the seal and take revenge on them, they kept digging out flesh and blood from the Spirit King, cutting off his hands and feet, and digging out his internal organs. The Spirit King looked like a human stick, but in fact he was even worse than a human stick.

Perhaps the only intact part is his brain.

After completing all the preparations, Lu Li walked out of the Soul King's bedroom. He didn't have to worry about the explorers being able to cause trouble, because they were just level five explorers and it was impossible for them to kill the Soul King.

In order to kill the Soul King, in addition to those ability characteristics, numerical values ​​are also indispensable. Without the power of the seventh level, it is unrealistic to kill the Soul King.

After leaving the Soul King's chamber, Lu Li landed in the Phoenix Palace and found that Ichigo was still training in the Asaurus Hell and had not been able to make the Asaurus surrender.

"Kurosaki's master... Is Kurosaki-san okay?"

When Zhiji saw Lu Li coming, she couldn't help but ask about the situation.

"It seems that he is still a little short of maturity."

Lu Li looked at this scene and touched his chin, "Wang Yue, stop for now. I don't think he can catch up like this."

Obviously, Ichigo Kurosaki was not experienced enough, and he did not fully understand his own life experience. He had too many distracting thoughts in his mind, and was unable to awaken his dual swords.
