Above the Sky Canopy, even Enkidu's expression had turned unusually solemn.
The battle between Ichigo Kurosaki and Ulquiorra had clearly intensified by another level compared to before.
However, this time was different from before.
When Ichigo Kurosaki had not used Bankai and Ulquiorra was in his first Resurrección, Ulquiorra had been somewhat faster than Ichigo Kurosaki. Though his strength was slightly inferior to Ichigo Kurosaki's, he could still use his superior speed to gain the advantage in battle.
But after Ichigo Kurosaki used Bankai, the situation was reversed.
It was not that Ulquiorra's second Resurrección was weak. Rather, the boost Ichigo Kurosaki gained after using Bankai was simply too great.
Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai had originally been about compressing his immense spiritual pressure into that small Zanpakuto, allowing him to gain greater speed and stronger striking power.
Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual pressure had already been stronger than Ulquiorra's. After using Bankai, it had surpassed the limits of a Shinigami and reached an even higher threshold.
Thus, Ulquiorra after his second Resurrección was completely suppressed by Ichigo Kurosaki, with no ability to fight back whatsoever.
Wounds appeared across Ulquiorra's body one after another.
If not for his extremely powerful ability, Super Regeneration, which could nearly regenerate severed limbs instantly, Ulquiorra would likely have been slain by Ichigo Kurosaki long ago.
"Getsuga—Tensho!"
The black-and-red Getsuga Tensho collided with the dark green Cero.
After a brief stalemate, the black-and-red spiritual pressure completely overwhelmed the dark green Gran Rey Cero and struck Ulquiorra.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Struck by Ichigo Kurosaki's Getsuga, Ulquiorra turned into a streak of light and smashed through several solid cylindrical pillars over ten meters wide atop the Sky Canopy.
In the end, Ulquiorra's body slammed into a pillar near Enkidu and the others.
This time, Ulquiorra did not crash through the pillar. Instead,
