Chapter 341
This is the legendary 'Taiyi,' a taboo among the Judge, who may have even faced Lord Aizen directly.
But he didn't answer, remaining silent, which made Yuki sigh.
Getting information from Ulquiorra won't be easy. Even though his gaze just now gave away the result, what Yuki really wants to know is what 'Taiyi' is, and why this boast he made casually attracted the fearsome Judge.
If it were Deidara alive, I could use his curiosity to trick him into revealing information.
Yuki wasted no time; the Witch God should have already returned to the mausoleum. Hayasaka and the others might not be able to hold out.
"That concludes our casual conversation."
The swordsman straightened his back, his entire body covered in black insect armor.
"Take care of you before that communication device cools down."
A terrifying killing intent echoed amidst the Corpse Mountain, Blood Sea. Ulquiorra, already in dire straits, remained expressionless, spreading his palms out like a peacock's tail, and wings made of light spears slowly unfurled on his back.
Resurrección: Judgment Form.
Light spears rose like feathers, and the demon raised his twin swords.
"Come on, Taiyi."
In an instant, the spear of light vanished, then suddenly reappeared Yuki, completely surrounding him.
The spatial warp-type ranged attack was swift and decisive, delivering a devastating blow that pierced the heart with a thousand swords.
Boom!!!
A massive mushroom cloud rose from the ground, shooting straight up to the Furnace dome, causing the entire area to shake.
Ulquiorra showed no joy. He pushed off with his feet and ascended into the air, his amber eyes surveying the entire Corpse Mountain, Blood Sea.
Is the power in this area illusion?
Yuki was gone. The powerful explosion created a huge crater, but the shockwave that swept across the area for tens of kilometers made little difference, as if it were blowing up a mirage.
Furthermore, he couldn't see the boundaries of this area; it was like being in a maze.
"Prison-type spatial domain props"
Ulquiorra made a quick judgment and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of domain item was powerful, but it couldn't provide much of a boost to combat power. He wasn't in a hurry to fight Yuki to the death anyway.
I have 25 minutes to transmit his information back, but he doesn't know how long the fax machine will cool down, and he'll definitely take the risk—and that risk...
Suddenly, the wings on his back expanded, enveloping his entire body, and the feathers that had condensed again stood up like dozens of Black Hole gun muzzles.
"That will give me a chance to turn the tables."
Yuki suddenly appeared beside him, much like a tiger in the forest, and glared slightly at Ulquiorra, who had changed his form.
Infinite Cero.
Beep--
Accompanied by a strange whooshing sound, black flashes appeared before their eyes. These were dozens of Cero that were unleashed in an instant, raining down like a storm. Each strike was enough to annihilate a small town.
Sudden stop, change direction, dodge.
Yuki reacted quickly, leaving afterimages in the air. His blood-red blade flashed intermittently, cleaving through the energy, but there were too many of them, and quite a few still hit him.
A genuine Cero, much more powerful than Blaster Rifle.
The insect armor was blasted with crimson marks, Yuki dove towards the ground, looking up at the humanoid turret in the sky, feeling fortunate for his cleverness.
In his prime, Ulquiorra was even stronger than himself overall. In his two battles with the Witch God, he not only suffered injuries but also undoubtedly used many powerful items.
Even so, his strength was still formidable, even somewhat different from what I had imagined.
' Ulquiorra appears to have Resurrección, but this isn't the core of his power, or rather, it has little to do with the 'Grim Reaper' anymore.'
Yuki felt he'd been somewhat misled by preconceived notions. Even with his third Resurrección, the original Ulquiorra was at best a Monster II -level fighter. This guy clearly wasn't focused on regaining his power; instead, he was using the Reincarnation Game to take a different path, like—
Yuki landed on the ground and saw dozens of light spears had already pierced around him, their piercing light illuminating his cheeks.
Boom!!
The sea of blood evaporated, but Yuki appeared a hundred meters away, having used two slots of her 'Universe in the Sleeve' technique, which consumed 8 enhancement points.
One is the Corpse Mountain Maze, which reshapes the Furnace Realm, making it difficult for those pulled in to find the boundaries as they did before.
The second is Blood Spirit Illusion, which is a kind of illusion technique that plagiarized Tiger Vanguard's idea.
This first test was with a Judge working himself to the bone, which wasn't too bad.
"Got you!"
The dust was cleaved in two by the lightsaber, and Ulquiorra swooped down, his dazzling wings of light remaining completely undiminished.
He saw through the illusion, pinpointed Yuki's location, and pounced on him in an instant.
Clang!!
The lightsaber clashed with the longsword, and the force of the falling blade bent Yuki's knees. The two exchanged a glance and then each raised their legs.
Bang! Bang!
Knees, whip kicks, elbow strikes—dozens of attacks occur within a millisecond, the figure flashing and creating waves of blood.
In close combat, neither side was weak. The flames of their souls bloomed like red lotuses, only to be cleaved by the extremely dense energy of the sword. The spears of light zigzagged, piercing through at all sorts of bizarre angles, but the nets of light Yuki impenetrable.
"What field is this? How come it has two different functions?"
Ulquiorra raised an eyebrow. He hadn't seen Yuki use any items; the nets of light had appeared out of thin air within the domain.
Not only does it pull at its own illusory spear, but it can also suddenly appear in a pool of blood and grab its own body.
These binding items aren't particularly strong; Ulquiorra could easily slice them open with a single sword strike. But in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, where every second counts, life and death can be decided in an instant.
The Hunter's Snare got tangled around his legs, and the storm was already upon him. He had no time to break free of the net, so he quickly raised his right hand.
Spirit Particle Reshaping.
Clang!
Yuki slammed his swords into the light shield with both hands, the immense force piercing through and sending Ulquiorra flying backward.
With the ability to create a maze within his Universe in the Sleeve, he no longer needs to use animal-catching nets to conceal the boundaries. Instead, he can place them inside the domain to ambush people. This Arcane Grade (level 5) item isn't particularly powerful, but it has one advantage.
Netfall.
With a thought, a net of light unfolded behind Ulquiorra, Yuki chased after him, blasting the light spears in his path in a straight line.
Knock knock knock!
Mushroom clouds rose one after another, and sharp swords pierced through the dust. Ulquiorra transformed his feathers into thin blades, but found that he could not cut through the net of light.
Oh no, this stuff can be stacked.
He had become familiar with the force of his previous cuts, but before he knew it, Yuuki had Yuki him again. The net of light entangled him, greatly reducing his dodging speed, and he didn't have time to make a second cut. He threw the longsword in his right hand, his eyes emitting a faint light.
Everything is replicated.
The longsword that had been heading straight for Yuki transformed into two swords, each containing even greater energy. A light shield also appeared on Ulquiorra's right hand. He used his wings to cut through the remaining light net while simultaneously stacking the two shields.
Yuki neither dodged nor charged head-on at the two obviously powerful longswords; a thought crossed his mind.
The Realm of the Demonbreaker.
Several mirrors suddenly unfolded, and the lightsaber struck them, causing the light to refract.
"It was indeed a simple energy attack."
"What field does this actually fall under?"
Joy and astonishment surged simultaneously. Yuki roughly understood what skill tree this Espada had changed. It must have been a crazy increase in 'mana', which was then reshaped, essentially turning him into a humanoid beam cannon.
Ulquiorra's heart sank to the bottom. He had never seen such a strange domain artifact that could combine illusion, Spatial Severance, control, and energy reflection, with very few side effects.
The combination of a mysterious domain and formidable personal strength—is this his trump card?
In a flash of thought, Yuki was already in front of him, his shoulder slamming hard against the shield, propelled by the momentum of his charge.
Bang!
The light net was torn apart, Ulquiorra was thrown close to the ground. The two light shields were covered with more cracks, and Yuki changed when he saw the cracks.
Bloodblade. Transformed into a whip.
While pressing down on the enemy and rubbing them in the sea of blood, he activated his longsword, transforming it into pure energy. The red light blade, like a venomous snake, bypassed the shield and lashed out from behind.
Clang.
Another shield appeared, deflecting the blood whip, and its dazzling light illuminated Yuki's face.
Beep--
This Cero was faster and larger than before, blasting cracks into the emerging mirror surface before exploding in the distance after being refracted.
The blood evaporated, the air became Incandescence, Yuki still held his opponent tightly, watching as dazzling wings of light unfurled, and two identical energies gathered from the left and right.
Energy reshaping is his core skill; in addition, he also has the ability to copy?
Even when Yuki his sword, the force of each strike cannot be exactly the same. He glanced at the cracks on the light shield and immediately understood.
Void Flash.
It was launched almost directly onto Yuki's head, blasting the enemy in front of it into nothingness. The beam of light went straight upward, piercing through the labyrinth, breaking through the twilight, and revealing the deep darkness of night.
It was a false target, but I found the boundary of the domain.
Ulquiorra saw the way out, but it was so close yet so far; he couldn't fly there at all. Yuki appeared from behind and pierced the light shield with a single sword strike.
"The more copies you make, the thinner the energy distribution becomes?" The swordsman had already found the key, but the Espada did not answer, instead throwing out a Rubik's Cube.
Everything replicates. Endless Void Annihilation.
A flash of light struck the Rubik's Cube, as if passing through a scattering mirror. Dozens of identical flashes cut back and forth, increasing the coverage and attack power tenfold.
"Trying to run?"
Yuki also summoned more than a dozen mirrors, the reflected energy cutting in all directions. Due to the excessive power of the Void Flash, large cracks appeared on the mirrors in just one second.
Even Arcane Grade -level items can't stop it?
Yuki passed through the gap, shattering piece by piece of the mirror. The high concentration of energy melted the insect armor, but the weakened beam of light could no longer directly annihilate the body.
He leaped into the air, chasing after the afterimage rushing towards the sky, his left hand outstretched in a loose grasping motion.
Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving.
Layer upon layer of light fell from the sky, filling the blasted-open firmament. This was indeed the exit of the domain, but how could the full defense of an Arcane Grade- level artifact be easily broken?
The light blade sliced through the net layer by layer, but Ulquiorra had no choice but to turn back. The hunter had closed in on him, the trapped beast, and there was no time to think.
"I'm sorry, Deidara."
Without turning his head, he threw down the white embryo. However, Yuki already knew who this thing came from and could guess Deidara's core skill, so at the moment of throwing, he also threw out Bloodblade.
The Soul-Slaying Spear.
A red lightning bolt flashed through the air, and the Bloodblade transformed into a spear made entirely of energy, imbued with its own sentience. It struck the embryo and then vanished into the distance.
Boom!!!
The space trembled violently, as if the sky and earth would Earth Collapse at any moment. Deidara unleashed the most ferocious art of his life, instantly blasting the entire flesh and blood labyrinth to pieces.
The sky turned black, the remaining animal traps were instantly destroyed, and the trapped beasts escaped their cages. There was no joy, only doubt.
"How do you know Deidara's essence will self-destruct???"
Ulquiorra blinked, anticipating his own prediction. The moment the embryo was removed, the opponent had already launched an attack, with the embryo as the target.
There was no answer. The pain in my vest had just reached my brain when an arm pressed against the back of my neck.
Click.
Along with the spine, Yuki pulled his head directly out of his body. The spurting blood evaporated upon contact with the insect armor, forming a cloud of Blood Mist.
"Because I am Taiyi!"
Chapter Thirty-Two: The Final Battle Begins!
Night, Furnace, Blood Mist.
Yuki stood in the darkness, looking down at the ravaged land. After a long while, he released his grip, letting the decapitated corpse fall to the ground.
