Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1179: You made a mistake in your judgment, that's all
However, Aizen's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

It seemed that he did not take the threat posed by Hyoshubu Ichibei seriously at all. He still maintained his calm attitude and continued to move towards the inner palace of the Spirit King.

This disregard was undoubtedly a huge provocation to the dignity of Hyoshubu Ichibei, and instantly ignited the latter's anger.

"What an arrogant guy!"

Hyoshubu Ichibei shouted angrily, and then used his unique skill - "Thousand Mile Sky-reaching Palm".

A tremendous force surged out of his body and gathered into a giant palm, which was so large that it seemed to be able to cover the sky and the sun.

This palm, with the momentum of destroying the world, suddenly slapped down towards Aizen's back.

However, just as this force was about to touch Aizen, an even more powerful invisible force suddenly burst out from Aizen's body and collided head-on with the "Thousand Miles to Heaven Palm".

The two forces collided with each other, and the resulting shock wave caused the surrounding space to tremble, but what was shocking was that the power released by Aizen easily defeated Hyoshubu Ichibei's "Thousand-Mile Sky-reaching Palm".

This scene not only stunned everyone present, but also made Hyoshubu Ichibei himself feel unprecedentedly shocked.

"How can this be?!"

Hyoshubu Ichibei murmured in disbelief.

Hyoshubu Ichibei is the de facto representative of Squad Zero and the strongest member of Squad Zero.

As a Shinigami whose age is equivalent to the history of Soul Society, Hyōshubu named everything in Soul Society, so how did he get his own name?

Is it to give yourself a name?
Of course not, Hyoshubu Ichibei's name was given by the Spirit King!
In the original work, Hyoshubu Ichibei explained:
The name I received from Lord Ling Wang is "True Name Calling Monk", which can be written as "Calling True Name".

I was the one who named this Zanpakutō, as well as Shikai and Bankai. I was the one who first named everything in Soul Society. From the moment Wang Yue's Asatake was handed over to the Shinigami, I knew the names of all Zanpakutō.

When the monk was explaining to Renji, he mentioned an important piece of information: the name I got from Lord Ling Wang is "True Name Calling Monk".

If the manga "Bleach" is the main story, the setting given by Kubo Tite is that the Soul King is named Hyoshubu Ichibei. However, in the official novel "Can't Fear Your Own World", there is another setting: Hyoshubu Ichibei is named the Soul King.

This official novel is set after the end of the Thousand Year Blood War.

At this time, the Soul King is dead, and his body is absorbed by Yhwach. Without the "wedge", the world will collapse at any time. The Soul King Palace urgently needs a new "Soul King", and the carrier in this case is "Yhwach".

In the Bloody Battle arc, Yhwach, who absorbed the Soul King, was killed by Ichigo Kurosaki with one sword. Although his body was not left in the comics, Yhwach's "corpse" was forcibly collected in the novel and named "Soul King" by Ichibei Hyoshubu.

In the comics, the Soul King gave Hyoshubu Ichibei his name, and Hyoshubu gained the "power contained in the name" as a result.

In the official novel, Hyōshubu Ichibei gave a name to Yhābach's corpse, making it the new Soul King, and the "corpse" gained "the power contained in the name" due to the naming.

For Hyoshubu Ichibei, everything named by him has a power that surpasses everything else, because it is the power of the Spirit King!
But now, it was so easily resolved by Aizen. This was not only a denial of his strength, but also a shake of his faith.

"You are indeed... an unusual existence."

A complex emotion flashed across Hyoshubu Ichibei's eyes, including shock, confusion, and a bit of appreciation.

After all, for him, the more Soul King candidates there are, the better, and Aizen looks good, and can even be said to be the closest candidate to the Soul King right now. Hyoshubu Ichibei suspects that he may be able to replace the Soul King if he sits directly on the throne.

"But even so, I will never let you go forward." Before Lord Ling Wang has any problems, anyone who dares to approach him is his enemy.

"As expected... I can only kill you."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Hyoshubu Ichibei's mouth. As he finished speaking, his figure rushed forward like a ghost, and the pen knife in his hand drew a gorgeous arc in the air, pointing directly at Aizen's head.

Aizen still ignored Hyoshubu Ichibei.

When Hyoshubu Ichibei saw this, instead of being discouraged, his smile widened.

"You ignored my attack, just as I expected."

"My sword is called 'Ichimonji'. It can cut through names without cutting flesh. When it touches the opponent, it can not only inflict severe damage, but also deprive the opponent of part of their name, thereby weakening their power."

Hyoshubu Ichibei explained slowly, his voice echoing across the empty battlefield, sounding exceptionally clear.

As he spoke, the light on the pen knife became brighter and brighter, as if it was really going to split Aizen's name in two.

However, just as the knife was about to touch Aizen, something strange happened.

An unprecedented powerful force suddenly erupted from Aizen's body. It was a terrifying pressure that surpassed the boundary between Death and Hollow. It surged like a vast ocean and instantly enveloped Hyoshubu Ichibei.

The force was so strong that even the air seemed to freeze, making people suffocate.

Hyoshubu Ichibei's face suddenly changed. He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He tried to struggle, but found that his body was so small in front of this force that he could not move at all.

"This...what kind of power is this?!"

Hyoshubu Ichibei was terrified. He had never seen such a terrifying power. Even when facing the most powerful Hollow or Grim Reaper, he had never felt so powerless.

At this moment, he felt a cold chill coming from his neck. It was a strange feeling of being close to death, which made the hairs on his body stand up.

He suddenly realized that he had been targeted by Aizen and was trapped.

"That's ridiculous, Hyoshubu Ichibei."

Aizen's voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Do you think you can hurt me with just your ability? You are wrong. My strength has long surpassed the scope of your understanding."

Hyoshubu Ichibei gritted his teeth, he knew that he was on the verge of life and death.

He couldn't just give up like that, so he used all his strength, raised the pen knife in his hand high, and shouted with his last bit of strength: "Really hit--!"

With this angry shout, the light on the pen knife reached an unprecedented brightness, as if it would illuminate the entire battlefield.
