Duan Mu has always regarded this place as a hiding place for Quincy to avoid being pursued by the Death God. Compared with the Three Realms, it is just a Seireitei-sized space similar to the "Called Valley".
Although I thought that it might be more difficult to fight Yhwach here than outside. After all, this is the enemy's base camp. Who knows what traps may be hidden there.
But it wasn't until this moment that Duan Mu realized that he was wrong, and...
Big mistake!
The connection between Yhwach and the Invisible Empire is far from simple as he thought.
Because, if I remember correctly, in my memory, when Yhwach invaded the Seireitei for the first time, due to limited activity time, he was swallowed up by the shadow flames in the Shadow Realm and was brought back to the Invisible Empire.
From this point of view alone, it is enough to show that there is a deep connection between the Invisible Empire and Yhwach.
However, since there was no similar incident in Duan Mu's memory after that, he did not delve into this point.
However……
But I overlooked something.
That is, in the subsequent invasion, Yhwach directly covered the Seireitei with the entire invisible empire, so naturally there would be no such restriction as "activity time".
And similar incidents happened more than once!
First, the Seireitei was covered with the Invisible Empire, and then the Soul King Palace was transformed into the True World Castle, and the base of the Invisible Empire was moved to the True World Castle.
In other words, wherever Yhwach goes, he will turn it into an invisible empire.
This is……
field?
Duan Mu looked at the energy gathered on Yhwach with some uncertainty in his eyes.
Judging from my own speculation, the Invisible Empire seems to be Yuhabach's 'domain'. However, this 'domain' is very different from the 'domain' after Ju Ming's first interpretation, and this domain itself also has the ability to be a friend.
Habach provides energy functions.
Some exist like energy sources.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu's face suddenly became a little ugly. He actually wanted to shout, "If you have the ability to fight one on one, don't rely on external force." But if he thought about it carefully... Yohabach's move was really not considered an external force.
After all, the power of these Quincies was originally given by him.
However, those Knights of the Star Cross are somewhat special.
As far as Duan Mu knows, the Knights of the Star Cross are all carefully selected by Yhwach from all over the world. The selected people will be given blood wine by Yhwach, and the souls of those who drink the blood wine will be given by him.
Engraved with powerful words.
Once the words are formed, he can send a more powerful soul into the body of the person who drinks the blood wine.
This is the origin of the Knights of the Star Cross in Duan Mu's memory. It seems that Yhwach gave them the holy text.
but……
Duan Mu felt something was wrong in his heart.
Because if those holy writing abilities with various terrible rules were given by Yhwach, then why did he waste so much strength... The Star Cross Knights were collected all over the world to fight against the Gotei Thirteenth Division.
Members, wouldn't it be nice to just select some people around you whose loyalty can be guaranteed?
Therefore, in Duan Mu's view, the so-called conferment of sacred characters is actually more like...
These selected members of the Knights already possess this potential ability, but they just cannot activate it.
The so-called giving of ‘sacred words’ is better said to be giving of opportunities to ‘activate holy words’.
And when these members of the Star Cross Knights activate their potential abilities, practice this ability to the extreme through hard work, and form a certain talent... Then Yhwach will recycle the soul fragments given to him and keep them all for himself!
Of course, these are just Duan Mu's guesses based on the current situation. He cannot be sure of the specific situation.
But one thing is certain...
You’ve made a big deal out of yourself!
Especially when he saw the undetectable pupils in Yhwach's eyes, Duan Mu regretted his previous strength even more.
If he had saved some hands and showed that he was evenly matched or slightly at a disadvantage, maybe Yhwach wouldn't be able to open his eyes. After all, to deal with a mere god of death, you still need to gather the strength to forcefully open his eyes. For the king of Quincy, this is not the case.
Something worth bragging about.
Although it is only the tip of the iceberg of true omniscience and omnipotence, even if it is just barely open and deliberately suppressed in order to avoid losing control, even if it is incomplete... it is still a part of omniscience and omnipotence, and the most important thing is...
At this time, the energy fluctuations around Yohabach's body had exceeded Duan Mu's.
That's right, it's energy fluctuations, not spiritual pressure.
Although Quincy has spiritual pressure in his body just like the Shinigami, Quincy cannot judge their strength simply by spiritual pressure.
Shinigami simply use the spiritual power released by their own souls to fight, so the lethality a Shinigami can exert can be judged based on spiritual pressure alone.
But judging the strength of a Quincy needs to be judged based on their own degree of control over the 'spiritual son', which is the so-called spiritual servitude. The higher the level of spiritual servitude, the more lethal power they can exert.
powerful.
Even the environment can affect their performance. For example, Ishida Uryu will appear in two different states when fighting in the real world with few spiritual beings and fighting in Hueco Mundo with rich spiritual beings.
At this time, Yhwach, whether it was the energy fluctuations around his body or the spiritual pressure in his body...
Both of them had faintly suppressed Duan Mu, and the combined energy made Duan Mu feel the trembling in his soul that he hadn't experienced in a long time since the battle with Aizen.
So...
These people are always cheating!!
Aizen is like this, Kurosaki Ichigo is like this, Yhwach is like this too...
Although I could be considered cheating despite my efforts, I used my own efforts to create scripts to help me slowly become stronger. But this group of people couldn't beat them, so they just resorted to violent invincibility cheating.
md, this is extremely unfair!
Duan Mu couldn't help but curse in his heart, but while he was cursing, Duan Mu transferred the analytical ability of Ju Ming Swastika from analyzing Yuhabach back to analyzing the realm of shadows. He must break free from the realm of shadows as soon as possible.
.
but……
The next second, a wave of terrifying ripples spread out from everywhere in the Shadow Realm, converging like a tsunami towards the purple eyes that merged into the Shadow Realm.
This made Duan Mu's expression change!
Consumption.
Although those purple eyes were formed by gathering all the energy of Duan Mujie, they are rootless and will naturally disappear completely after the energy is exhausted.
What Yhwach is doing now is to use the entire realm of shadow to expel the Kumedi Swastika integrated into the realm.
Obviously, the moment Duan Mu changed his analysis target, Youhabach had already guessed what Duan Mu was thinking.
"I will leave your tombstone in the new world."
Yhwach's voice came: "As a reward for your courage to invade the Invisible Empire alone."
"Haha~"
Duan Mu chuckled: "You don't want me to answer that it's my honor, do you?"
After he finished speaking, the smile on Duan Mu's face faded and gradually became calm.
If Uozhika Retsu were here, he would know that Duan Mu was fully immersed in the battle at this time, which also means that he encountered an extremely terrifying enemy.
"Huh~"
Duan Mu breathed out lightly, clasping the five fingers of his right hand together, and the terrifying fire of spiritual pressure burned around him again.
Strictly speaking, this fire of spiritual pressure is not fire, but a form that will naturally occur when one's own spiritual pressure reaches a certain level and is fully released.
but……
For many people, when the spiritual pressure is condensed to such an extent, it is easy to incinerate oneself and one's enemies. The body cannot withstand the complete release of its own spiritual pressure, so the battle must be ended as soon as possible, and it will consume a lot of energy after the end.
huge.
But Duan Mu is different. His spirit body has the characteristics of a weapon, and his body is strong enough to withstand the full and complete liberation of Duan Mu's own spiritual pressure!
at the same time.
Boom boom boom boom…
A roaring sound sounded from Duan Mu's body, like the sound of a drum.
Every time he made a sound, there would be invisible ripples all over his body, spreading out like ocean waves. Wherever he passed, the gray fog receded and the shadow flames disappeared.
The sound became louder and louder, and finally turned into a roar that exploded on Duan Mu's back.
The wings composed of the two energies of fire and thunder spread out behind Duan Mu, and a dark crystal appeared between his eyebrows, from which the gravity that distorted time and space was faintly vented.
Chapter 73 of Breaking the Way·Double Lotus Canghuo Pendant.
Chapter 91 of Breaking the Way·Thousand-handed Bright Sky Shooting Cannon.
besides……
The final break of the road 90·Black coffin!
The energy formed by the three ghost paths and Duanmu's spiritual pressure gathered together, making the purple spiritual pressure flames around Duanmu's body become a bit mixed.
But this confusion only lasted for a moment, and Duan Mu's hand suddenly shook, and everything was contained by the flames of his spiritual pressure.
This is Ju Ming’s tolerance.
Although Duan Mu's body is strong, but with the same level of proficiency as spiritual pressure, just withstanding the spiritual pressure that is completely released after transcendence is already on the verge of the limit, so Duan Mu did not use the 'white attack' touch in the previous battle.
The instant buzz after the extreme barrier.
At the moment, it can be said that he is using Ku Mei's tolerance characteristic to make a trick, but even this cannot last long, otherwise the body, under the combination of the completely liberated spiritual pressure and instant coax, will inevitably be like Zaraki Kenpachi after he is completely unsealed.
As if all the pressure was released, the body began to collapse.
But now he can no longer care about this. Since he chooses to be strong, he must be strong to the end.
Even if you pay some price for it!
Bang bang bang~
The sound of explosions still continued to reach Duan Mu, and the purple spiritual pressure flames formed a substance. The black work clothes covering Duan Mu's body did not let his clothes collapse due to the impact inside his body, and it looked as if he was covered with a layer of fire.
Like purple flames.
The next second, Duan Mu moved!
Without any nonsense, Duan Mu took the lead in launching an attack at the moment when his state reached its peak.
Because the longer it takes, the worse it will be for him!
Take one step forward.
Buzz~
The gray mist under Duan Mu's feet sunk downwards, and it looked as if the void collapsed under his step.
And with this power, Duan Mu disappeared directly from where he was.
"snort!"
Yhwach snorted coldly, his body turned into a shadow, and also disappeared.
Jiang——!
The sound of fighting resounded in the void, and a figure shot out, wearing a very eye-catching purple flaming garment, and it turned out to be Duan Mu.
Buzz buzz...
Ju Ming's blade trembled and kept making overwhelming sounds.
Duan Mu was in mid-air and did not immediately stop his retreating figure. Instead, he used the force to twist his body and shot out horizontally with his left hand.
The giant palm gathered in an instant and struck directly towards Yhwach who appeared in mid-air.
The pale, even illusory pupils in Yhwach's eyes lit up, but no movement was seen on his part. Duan Mu's palm that he used to release his strength collapsed suddenly.
"it's useless!"
Yhwach was not in a hurry to pursue, but just like a cat playing with a mouse, he looked at Duan Mu and said: "Although your analysis can be said to be a terrifying ability, in front of my ability, 'analysis' and 'response' do not exist at all.
room."
The illusory pupils in his eyes turned slightly, and an inexplicable feeling emerged in Duan Mu's heart.
"Everything I see becomes powerless in front of me!"
Duan Mu ignored him, but took advantage of him to speak and went straight to the sky above Youhabach.
Ju Ming, who was 1.6 meters tall, was cut off from the top of Yohabach's head.
Once it was chopped down, the purple spiritual pressure flames on it exploded, and it looked like a burning skyscraper was beheading Yhwach, and everything would turn into ashes in front of it.
"I told you, it's useless!"
Yhwach raised his hand and smacked Duan Mu, and giant arrows shot out. He ignored the attacks coming from above his head and directly attacked Duan Mu.
and……
This attack is an advance attack.
When Duan Mu made a slash, he did not wait for the result, but left the place in a flash and attacked Yhwach from another direction.
but……
As soon as he appeared, the giant arrow had already arrived in front of Duan Mu, as if waiting to greet him.
This scene made Duan Mu's pupils shrink.
Can't dodge!
Because the arrow didn't so much hit Duan Mu, it was more like Duan Mu took the initiative to hit the arrow.
Rumble——!
The high-concentration cyan spirit fire exploded, illuminating the entire invisible empire. The spread of the impact caused the gray mist field below to collapse, revealing the figures in it.
However……
The ripples of energy above their heads caused everyone's expressions to change, and they suddenly discovered...
It's safer to stay in that gray mist.
Phew~
A figure rushed out from the center of the energy ripple. At this time, Duan Mu looked quite embarrassed. The dense flames around him receded, revealing his charred body, and there were still cracks on his body.
The scorch is due to the giant bow and arrow, but the cracks are due to the body reaching its limit.
However, there was still no fluctuation on Duan Mu's face, but a burst of light burst out from his eyes, and he rushed towards Yhwach again.
It's not absolutely invincible.
It can be 'seen' and 'changed', but there is a blind spot.
Judging from the previous brief confrontation, all kinds of energy attacks, slashes and other moves will be eliminated when they arrive in front of Yhwach. It can also be said that the future of "dead objects" falling on him does not exist at all.
But whether it was his first confrontation with him, or whether he was preparing to attack from the side after striking a blow, it was a direct confrontation, not an elimination.
The first strike was a head-on collision, and the second strike was blocked midway!
He can 'see' it, but cannot change it. It can also be said that he is not completely omniscient and omnipotent.
As long as there is a loophole, you can fight it.
The spiritual void pattern on the core of Duan Mu's body suddenly started to move, and the purple pattern appeared on his body surface again. Almost at the moment when the pattern appeared, Duan Mu's foot fell into the void, and his whole body appeared extremely abruptly.
In front of Yhwach.
Yhwach's expression did not change when he saw this, and green flames bloomed from the extinguishing cross blade in his hand, and he raised it from bottom to top.
But then...
His face darkened, and he turned his hand towards Duan Mu to obtain the Cross Blade of Destruction, changing from an upward swing to a horizontal swing.
However……
Yhwach, who made this move, frowned.
Phew——!
The sound of blood spurting came out, and Yhwach and Duan Mu shot out at the same time, and stepped into the void at the same time to stabilize their bodies.
"How is that possible!?"
The expressions of the members of the Star Cross Knights below changed.
Looking around, I saw Yhwach in mid-air. There was a stab wound on his face, with blood oozing faintly from it.
Far away from Yhwach, Duan Mu had an extremely huge knife wound on his chest, almost cutting it off, but when everyone looked at it, the wound had already begun to heal.
His Majesty was injured after opening his eyes?
Even if his eyes are not completely opened, it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to be injured!
Youhabach raised his hand and wiped it on his cheek, looking at the bright red on his fingers, his face was extremely gloomy.
You can see it, but you can’t follow it!
In the short moment when Duan Mu appeared in front of him, he changed his moves countless times, each one was a fatal blow, but every time he saw him attack, he would change his moves accordingly.
It's not a deliberate change of tactics, the future you see is the real future, it's just...
The moment he made the change, Duan Mu relied on his terrifying attainments in the chopping technique and used his instantaneous micro-movements to change his moves. He changed the future he 'saw' and allowed himself to 'see' the future in an instant.
Change.
And he responded accordingly...
This process kept repeating, and Duan Mu's changes became faster and faster.
In the process of change, the attack is getting closer and closer to itself.
Eventually, I reached a distance where I had no time to react even when I saw it.
It can be said that at that moment, he had countless confrontations with himself!
This guy...
There was murderous intent in Yhwach's eyes. It was the first time that he wanted to kill someone so much.
In addition to the terrifying combat skills, whether it is the ability to control the battle situation, the ability to analyze the enemy, or even the instant decision-making...
