The next day's time.

The collective ghost path released by the support team knocked down a section of the city wall, leaving no obstacles on the road leading to the palace.

"Everyone, we will leave our retreat to you!" the Sifengyuan Heavenly Soldiers said to the remaining members, waving their hands. Twenty-one people from the attack group and the Sifengyuan Heavenly Soldiers, and twenty-two figures came out instantly, one after another.

The black shadow went straight to the central palace.

The city was exactly the same as the information given by the reconnaissance team. It was empty and there were no traces of any virtual activities. Only the central palace exuded spiritual pressure. However, Shiye noticed the cube-shaped stone rooms, and the warning signs in his heart were even greater.

Already.

"Is this really just decoration?" Shiye raised his hand and fired a red cannon.

Boom! You can clearly see that there is nothing in the stone chamber.

"Am I overthinking? No! What on earth is this?" Shiye was sure that this stone chamber must have its function, but he couldn't understand what it was specifically. The arrangement of the stone chambers seemed chaotic, but it seemed to have an invisible meaning.

The pattern reminded Shiye of the legendary formations in his previous life.

"Impossible!" He immediately shook his head. "Although they look similar, it is impossible for formations to exist in this world!" Such things as formations did exist tens of thousands of years ago, but due to the changes of the times, these things

It has long been lost, not to mention that things like formations have long been out of touch with the world, and even if they exist, they cannot be used.

"Then what exactly is it?" Shiye didn't have time to think about it, because the palace was already in front of him.

It is as white jade as a city wall. It is different from the traditional palace. It is more like the mage tower in Shiye's impression. It towers into the clouds, with a height of three to four thousand meters like a big mountain. The gate of the palace is hundreds of meters in the sky.

Thousands of steps descend from mid-air to the ground..

The Sifengyuan Heavenly Soldiers stopped in front of the steps. "Be careful, those Hollows appeared last time I got close here!"

"Leave it to me!" Captain Unohana said, and she walked up the steps without hesitation.

Just as the Sifengyuan heavenly soldiers said, three figures with Vastod-level spiritual pressure appeared instantly. With so many people present, no one noticed how they appeared.

"Rather than appearing out of thin air, it's more like being born out of thin air! And it's like a clone!" Shiye secretly said, the three heads, although one is a six-winged flying insect, one is a four-clawed tiger man, and the other is a big-headed whale

, they have different shapes, but there is no difference at all in terms of spiritual pressure or expression.

Three-headed voids appeared out of thin air and besieged Captain Unohana from all directions. For a moment, void flashes, sharp claws, wind blades, and whale teeth surrounded Captain Unohana from all sides.

The attack was so sharp that everyone present couldn't help but put themselves into it, and the result... Just look at the more gloomy expressions on everyone's face.

"If it were me, if I didn't free the Zanpakutō, I would have to leave at least two scars!" Shiba said to himself.

But no matter what the people around him think, one thing has to be admitted, Captain Unohana is indeed the best swordsman in Soul Society.

"Qiang!" The Zanpakutō was unsheathed at his waist. There was no mountain of murderous intent, no burst of spiritual pressure, and no wonderful skills. It was just fast.

It was so fast that even Shiba couldn't catch it. Not only could it not be caught with the naked eye, but it couldn't even detect spiritual pressure.

Toba only saw a flash of sword light, and Captain Unohana had already made twenty cuts. Although it was just an ordinary shallow sword, in the hands of Captain Unohana, it showed sharpness that surpassed the cute girl's Zanpakutō.

, twenty cuts left the six-winged flying insect without its wings, the four-clawed tiger man without its claws, and all the teeth of the whale in the brain were shattered.

"It has the spiritual power of Vastod, but it is obvious that it does not have the fighting will of Vastod who has experienced many battles. These three-headed Hollows are just like the previous Cares Snow, and they are also fakes!" Shiye said

Secretly. If it is the real Vastod, no matter how strong Captain Unohana is, he will not be able to severely damage them in an instant. Just when Shiye thought the dust had settled, the three clues suddenly opened their mouths at the same time, and three virtual flashes occurred instantly

issue.

"How is it possible? There is no Qi gathering? Yes, they were prepared from the beginning! The initial attack was just a feint, they were planning to fight for their lives from the beginning!" Even if those three were fake Vastod,

But there was nothing shoddy about that false flash. Even Captain Uzhihua couldn't bear three false flashes.

Everyone exclaimed. The fastest Sawakabe Mizukage had released his Zanpakutō and was about to move Captain Unohana away. But suddenly they heard a sword cry!

It's not that the sword is really screaming, but the sound of the blade cutting through the air seems to be alive. It is obviously just an ordinary shallow sword, but in the hands of Captain Unohana, it seems to be more powerful than the cute girl's [Red Leaf Hunter].

To be sharp, with a flash of light, all three virtual flashes were split, and together with their owners, they were divided into two halves.

"So strong!" Shiba couldn't help but shout out, and then the aftermath of the false flash would arouse a huge roar. But how could everyone present care about this small aftermath, and they would release their own spiritual pressure to block the aftermath.

It was firmly suppressed, and apart from the initial dust, it did not cause any impact.

It was only then that Toba truly understood the combat power of Captain Unohana! No matter how strong you are, as long as you are close to her, you will be defeated. He is worthy of being the most evil person in the Soul Society who has mastered eight thousand swordsmanship styles.

, there are eight thousand flowers of Mao.

The three empty corpses fell gently to the ground without stirring up a trace of dust, and disappeared in everyone's eyes like a dream.

"It's not dissipating into spirit children, but disappearing out of thin air! What exactly is this method!" Although they didn't say it out loud, everyone present was similar, and the other party's method was completely beyond their understanding.

Captain Unohana walked up step by step until he reached the palace, but no enemy appeared again.

"It seems that the only three enemies we have are those three. Everyone, let's start!" the Heavenly Soldiers of Sifengyuan said, and everyone quickly arrived in front of the palace.

The palace gate is a double door about a hundred meters high and more than seventy meters wide. As soon as everyone walked in, the gate slowly opened with a creaking sound.

"Hey! This is different from what we thought!" Looking at the scene in the palace, everyone had dull expressions on their faces. If there were a hundred Wastods waiting inside, they wouldn't have such expressions.

Inside the palace, there is a big pit.

A literal pit.

Looking up, there is an open space. You can clearly see the ceiling at an altitude of 3,000 meters. It has no decorations and looks extremely simple. There is no throne in the center of the palace, but only a large pit with a diameter of about 3,000 meters.

A large circular pit.

Looking down from the bottomless pit, all you can see is darkness, and only the enemy's spiritual pressure can be clearly heard coming from the pit.

"Touha, how deep do you think this pit is?" Kyoryaku Shunsui tapped Juye with his elbow and asked.

"Who knows, but a rough estimate is that it is at least more than 3,000 meters deep!" It is at least 10,000 meters deep, because Shiye can clearly sense that there is nothing within 10,000 meters.

"Captain Sifengyuan, what should we do now? Once we go down, if this place collapses, we will be trapped below and very passive!" Fengye Chito said with a frown.

"Yes, this city is full of weirdness. I'm sure it's definitely full of enemy conspiracies!"

"Then just go back in despair?"

"Of course it's impossible! In my opinion, we'd better go in and find out. There are so many of us, and they can't stop us if we want to leave!"

"Haha, how naive! You forgot about Shi Shou. Why he left suddenly is definitely related to this pit!"

"Don't make random guesses. Even if you think about it a thousand times, it will definitely be what Death Hunter expected!"

Looking at the big pit, everyone began to argue. Some were in favor of entering, while others thought it would be better to retreat for the time being. But no matter which part of them thought that once they entered this big pit, it would be a disaster.

"Everyone!" Sifengyuan Heavenly Soldiers said loudly, and everyone fell silent.

"Now that we have arrived here, there is no reason to retreat! But just in case...Fengye-kun, I leave it to you!" The Heavenly Soldiers of Sifengyuan looked at Fengye Chito.

"No problem!" Fengye Chiteng nodded, pulled out his Zanpakutō, and began to solve the problem.

"The entire world has turned into eternal frozen soil! Hyōrinmaru!"

"Extreme cold storm!" The scene Shiye saw a few months ago appeared again.

Above, buildings thousands of meters high turned into ice sculptures in the cold wind, and the large pit beneath their feet was covered in endless white and plunged straight into the abyss.

Fengye Chito continued this trick, with sweat dripping from his forehead from time to time, but it instantly turned into ice. After about half a quarter of an hour, he stopped panting.

"The enemy is at a depth of about 8,000 feet! My ice will not be able to spread after it reaches a depth of 6,000 feet."

"Thank you for your hard work! You take a rest for a while, and then we will go down together! When we reach the bottom, please freeze the bottom too!"

"Yes!" Fengye Chito nodded. He closed his eyes and began to restore his spiritual power. At the same time, two people from the assault team came out and used the ghost path to restore his spiritual power.

In this way, about a quarter of an hour passed before Fengano Chito opened his eyes and nodded.

"Okay, let's go down!" the Heavenly Soldiers of Sifengyuan said. Everyone jumped and fell into the abyss.

Shiye only felt the wind whistling by, accompanied by the chill of ice. They soon went deep into the ground, and everything in front of them was pitch black.

"The darkness is not good for us. Is there anything you can do?" Although most of the Death Gods present can see at night, in the underground more than 10,000 meters deep, everyone's field of vision has been shortened to a very small range, and they will be very passive if they encounter an attack.

.

"Broken Path No. 20: Illuminating Sky Sphere!" Everyone released this broken path in unison. Although the No. 20 Broken Path, Illuminating Heavenly Sphere, has good power, its light is particularly bright, so there are hundreds of Shinigami who use it.

Ninety-nine percent of it is used for lighting.

But the effect was not obvious. The darkness was too thick and a little abnormal. The celestial sphere could only illuminate a range of twenty meters, which was not even within the sight of the Shinigami themselves.

"This darkness is unusual, everyone should be vigilant!"

"clear!"

At this moment, Shiye had a sudden idea and pulled out his Zanpakutō!

"Destroy the enemies, purify the filth, and bloom in the flames! Red lotus of calamity flames!"

White flames burned on Shiye and actually illuminated the entire cave. You could clearly see that more than 10,000 meters below your feet, a huge throne stood in the center. The woman sitting on the throne, and the surrounding

Dozens of Xu Zheng looked at them with surprised eyes.

Although it had long been known that flames had the ability to illuminate, Shiye really didn't expect that the effect would be so good. It would actually illuminate this cave tens of thousands of meters deep like the sun.

And although this flame is extremely bright, it is not dazzling at all. It is like the gentlest sunlight, making the whole world bright without any discomfort to the eyes.

"I'm so stupid, really! The Flame Red Lotus can even illuminate the chaotic world in my heart, how can I be afraid of such a little darkness?" It was only then that Shiba discovered that his Zanpakutō still had a fourth one.

Ability - "Well, lighting! Okay, maybe it would be better to call it dispelling darkness!"
