A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 524 517. Arrancar’s method

Hueco Mundo.

There is still only the eternal night that makes people feel despair, but if you get used to it, it is no different from an ordinary night. Except that no one holds up a light to bring hope, everything here is actually fine.

Following the most primitive laws, all living things live here freely and freely, killing and devouring each other. There is no lust, only wild instincts. The strong live and the weak die.

In a corner surrounded by pale stone pillars somewhere in Xuye Palace, the antelope-like Xu was hiding among the stone pillars and shivering.

Because the presence on the throne not far away frightened her.

The aura that symbolized 'death' exuded from that figure was more terrifying than any void she had ever encountered before that wanted to devour her.

But she did not choose to leave, because that person told her to stay here and not run around before leaving Hueco Mundo.

In fact, she also understood that this breath of death, which was enough to make most virtual beings feel afraid, was now protecting her.

Because of the existence of this aura, even the weaker Xu didn't dare to get close to this place.

She understands the truth, but fear is an instinctive reaction.

Ever since she became conscious, she has been running away from beings stronger than herself and from those terrible creatures that want to devour her.

It has almost become her instinct to avoid fighting and consciously stay away from dangerous things.

But blindly escaping is not the solution to the problem after all.

No matter how she escapes, she will always encounter a situation where she cannot escape, just like before when she was almost killed by a virtual person who was stronger than herself.

Fortunately, as if by fate, the man she felt close to appeared and rescued her.

The days when she followed that man across half of Hueco Mundo were the times when she felt the most stable.

But now the man seems to have left and left her here.

She didn't quite understand what the man had done.

In short, in her sight, it seemed that the scary-looking guy on the throne not far away was pressed to the ground and rubbed for a while, and then the scary guy followed the man and left for a while. It was very similar to the way she followed this man before.

Then this scary guy came back here and stayed on the throne, looking at her from time to time, making her tremble.

"Uuuuuuuuah...when will these days end?"

Just when she was despairing of such a 'fearful' life, finally, the man came back.

After the scary guy on the throne nodded and bowed to the man as if reporting on his work, the man finally came to her again.

"Let's go."

The man said something to her, and then walked away from this 'ruin'-like place.

"Where to go?"

She wanted to ask.

But in her current state, she still couldn't speak human language, and in the end she only made a whimper-like neighing sound.

Although she didn't know where she was going, she still chose to follow as before.

Because there was a voice deep in her soul telling her that this man could be trusted unconditionally. In fact, this is indeed the case. Since the appearance of this man, this dangerous world with only eternal night seems to have become extremely reassuring.

Hueco Mundo is not a small 'circle' as the name suggests, but a vast and boundless world.

In order to maintain balance with the current world and Soul Society, both the area and the number of Hueco Mundo creatures are almost the same as the other two.

No one has ever tried to reach the end of such a vast and desolate land.

But one person and one sheep starting from Xuye Palace kept walking in one direction, with no goal, no end point, aimless, and no idea how long it had been.

I don't know how many years have passed. In the long years, Xuanhao even tasted what "empty" flesh and blood tastes like. Generally speaking, he can eat it with the head removed, and it is crunchy. Of course, this is because of his own special situation. No matter what he eats, he will be fine, so don’t imitate him.

Xuan Hao discovered that this world is actually not much different from other worlds except that there is no daylight.

There are mountains, rivers, and lakes, but because most of the creatures here have no self-awareness, they remain in their most primitive state.

In short, there is nothing bad about it except loneliness.

A man walks alone for countless years, no one cares about him, and the only one who can listen to him is the quiet antelope next to him.

He hunts all the Hueco Mundo creatures he can meet along the way, with the purpose of making the antelope stronger and even evolving.

But perhaps it was because his body had been stained with too much Xu's blood. Gradually, most Xu's would avoid him when they met him.

Legends about the 'True King' began to spread in Hueco Mundo.

It is said that the so-called "King of Hueco Mundo" who is entrenched in Xuye Palace is just a puppet left by the "true king", and the real king is taking his servants to every corner of Hueco Mundo, because this The starting point of becoming a king is Xuye Palace.

This gave Xuan Hao a headache.

Because I don’t know when they started, when they passed through the realm ruled by some high-ranking Daxu, those conscious lords would even temporarily evacuate the territory to avoid the edge.

"Please, I'm here to gain experience, okay? You guys are making it difficult for me..."

Arriving at a high-ranking territory again, Xuan Hao looked at the empty lair with a look of helplessness.

The antelope following him naturally walked to the 'bed' that originally belonged to the owner here and curled up and lay down, as if he wanted to rest because he was tired from walking.

She would definitely not have acted so arrogantly in the past, because the aura left by these high-ranking figures here was terrifying.

But you will always get used to following this person next to you.

And now she is no longer the frail little antelope she once was.

With the help of this man, as her 'experience points' increased, she had broken through the bottleneck of 'Yachukas' and successfully reached the pinnacle of 'virtual' - Vastod.

Her body size has also grown from about the same size as the man next to her to almost twice its original size. When standing, she can already look down at the man in front of her.

However, this seems to be the limit.

No matter in terms of strength or size, she has reached the limit of 'Vastod' at this moment.

And just because she reached her limit, she began to realize how terrifying the man beside her who had always been protecting her was.

The Daxu at the level of 'Vastod' was already as powerful as the overlord of Hueco Mundo, but she felt like she was still as weak as a child in front of this man.

"But whatever, simply increasing the 'experience points' doesn't mean much to you now, right?"

Xuanhao looked helplessly at the increasingly arrogant antelope.

As she continues to evolve, this antelope's intelligence becomes clearer and clearer. Perhaps she realizes that 'we are so strong', so she no longer cowers and trembles like she did a long time ago.

Faced with Xuanhao's question, Antelope just nodded her head gently.

It stands to reason that since she has evolved to the 'Vastrod' level, even an ordinary Hollow should have learned to speak, but she seems to be unable to speak human language clearly due to some special circumstances.

This is Xuan Hao's biggest headache.

He didn't want his sister to keep looking like an 'animal'. After all, he wasn't a Freeman.

He originally thought that such a problem could be solved by constantly gaining experience, but now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.

"Maybe only Arrancar can solve this problem."

Xuanhao thought to himself while thinking.

The antelope tilted its head to express confusion.

She had never heard of the word 'Arrancar'.

As a 'Xu', she knows best about the evolutionary path of 'Xu'.

The general 'Hollow' has reached its limit at the 'Yachukas' stage. After all, the energy required for a Hollow of the Yachucas level to move up to the next level is extremely huge. Only by swallowing a large Hollow of the same level can it reach its limit. to the effect. Most virtual beings who have reached this level already have mature self-awareness, and it is impossible to fight to the death with beings of the same level unless they are forced to do so.

In this case, unless the strength gap between the two sides is too great, it will be very difficult to devour the virtual ones of the same level. And since they are all at the same level, the gap in strength will definitely not be too great. This is an endless loop.

Therefore, except for a few unique beings with special abilities, most of the Hollows are trapped in the 'Yachukas' stage.

For someone like her who is lucky enough to have a boss forcefully gain experience, she is an exception.

So, what is ‘Arrancar’?

She stared at the man next to her with wide eyes, full of curiosity.

"Arrancar?"

Seeing Ling Xu's curious eyes, Xuanhao immediately understood what the other party meant and explained, as if he had a tacit understanding.

"The Arrancar can be said to be the product of the fusion of the two power systems of the Shinigami and the Hollow. The power of the Shinigami comes from their four fighting methods, slicing, white fighting, footwork and ghost. No matter which one is the best, It is possible to become a strong person, but there is a limit to such a strong person. No matter which path you choose, you will reach the ultimate intensity of this path, which is the 'limit of death'. And the thing that determines this intensity limit is the 'soul' 'Itself. The four methods reach the same goal by different routes. No matter how hard you try after reaching the limit, as a god of death, you will encounter a bottleneck in the strength of your soul, which will prevent you from growing to the limit."

"Is there no way to break through it and strengthen all abilities beyond their limits?" Lingxu's eyes couldn't help but reveal such doubts.

This is probably a question that everyone will ask when encountering such a problem.

"So, one day, someone came up with a solution. That was the transformation of the god of death, or the transformation of the virtual god of death. By removing the boundaries between two extreme individuals, allowing them to develop towards a higher realm, this That’s the concept he came up with.”

Xuanhao continued to explain.

When he said this, he couldn't help but feel that as the intellectual responsible person in this world and the template character of the perfect villain, 'Aizen Sosuke' is indeed a genius.

This method is actually very simple to say. It is probably the same concept as "Human beings have limits, so I will not be a human anymore". Anyone can imagine it, but only Aizen has the power to take action to turn it into reality. one.

The question that bothers Xuan Hao now is, how to teach a virtual person to understand the power of the 'god of death'?

If you want to complete the Hollow's transformation into the Death God, that is, the 'Arrancar', you need to let this Hollow understand the power of the Death God. Lingxu has obviously met the basic requirements for an 'arrancar', but she lacks a teacher who can help her understand the power of death.

Xuan Hao himself is not a god of death. His training system can be said to be completely different from that of a god of death. He also has only a partial understanding of the power of a god of death, so he cannot be such a teacher at all.

It’s impossible to really wait until a thousand years later and let Aizen-sensei, who has a rich reserve of knowledge, teach you, right?

"So how do I complete the Arrancar?"

Lingxu looked at the man in front of him curiously, his eyes full of curiosity.

Becoming stronger is an instinct that almost every Hollow should have, even if she is not belligerent.

"Wait, let me think, be quiet."

Suddenly, Xuan Hao seemed to have thought of something and signaled the other party to quiet down.

Lingxu shrank his head obediently and stopped disturbing the thinking of the person in front of him.

The world suddenly became quiet.

She could feel that there was a high-ranking Daxu a few miles away who was watching with eagerness. This was the Daxu who originally lived here.

But perhaps because of this man's existence, the Daxu didn't dare to come back after exiting.

The man thought quietly, one day, two days... No one counted how long it had passed, but no matter how long he was silent, he never dared to act rashly, as if the world was rotating with his actions.

Finally, at a certain moment, the man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I think I've figured out a way."

As he said that, Xuan Hao's eyes fell on the Zanpakutō at his waist.

This is actually a very simple truth that is easily overlooked.

The Zanpakutō, as one of the cores of the Shinigami's power, is what embodies the essence of the Shinigami's abilities.

And he suddenly remembered that the Arrancar seemed to have a core similar to the Zanpakutō.

It's just that unlike the Shinigami, the Arrancar's 'Zanpakuto' is a product sealed by the 'Spiritual Core', and the material that constructs it is the 'Steel Skin', the indestructible outer skin of the Hollow itself.

So the solution to the problem is very simple - since he has no way to help this Hollow Arrancar, let the Zanpakutō help!

Of course, an ordinary Zanpakutō obviously cannot complete such a job. An ordinary Zanpakutō is in a "shallow strike" state before the holder carves into the soul essence. It is difficult even for the Shinigami to communicate with it, let alone Not to mention a virtual one?

But the Zanpakutō in his hand is different. If his guess is correct, there is no communication barrier between this Zanpakutō and this Lingxu, because - they both have the same soul origin!
