Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 768 is not her limit



Chapter 768 is not her limit

The so-called Hollowfication experiment, the Hollowfication of Shinigami, is not essentially about finding a Hollow with power equivalent to that of Shinigami.

The Hollowfication experiments conducted on Hirako and the others didn't actually produce very powerful Hollows.

Even the Hollow White within Ichigo was only at the threshold of Captain-level, capable of suppressing the Captain before Bankai.

Therefore, it is clear that breaking through the boundaries does not require two forces of nearly equal mass.

The only thing lacking is a medium, a medium to open up the barriers and lock the doors.

Shinigami and Hollows may seem like two completely different creatures, but they are essentially transformed from humans.

The most straightforward point about the Grim Reaper is that a human soul, after undergoing systematic training, can be called the Grim Reaper.

The "illusion" refers to the human soul, which, due to their attachment to the mortal world or other obstacles, cannot ascend to heaven and lingers in places that attract them.

Some of them, after years of torment and resentment, or accelerated by external factors, ultimately degenerate into nothingness.

Therefore, illusory spiritual power is often filled with various negative emotions.

But this is the limit of a Grim Reaper, not Yuuko's limit. She is not the purest Grim Reaper.

After all, she is not human.

Moreover, regardless of whether she can break through the limits, as a ghost, even if her body really can't withstand the explosion, she can recover in a short time.

Most importantly, there are only a dozen or so Pure Realm Chapters left. If we don't eat them... if we don't dismantle them, it will be troublesome if they explode.

For the sake of Seireitei's safety, Ikuko decided to take the risk.

but……

How can I go out like this without being recognized?

Yuko looked around at the murderous stones with some distress. Once she stepped out, the spiritual power emanating from her body would directly announce her existence to the Soul Society.

This is really distressing.

Yuko pulled out the booklet and began studying the location of the remaining chapters on purification.

She absorbed the power of the Purification Scrolls not simply from nearby locations, but rather expanded outwards from one corner of Seireitei, with the remaining dozen or so Purification Scrolls concentrated in one area.

Eh!

Suddenly, Yu Zi had a flash of inspiration.

If the location of the next Purification Chapter could be determined directly, then the killing intent stone could be used to conceal her spiritual pressure. However, the distance was a bit far, and it was underground, so it would take some time to probe with the senses.

Fortunately, she wasn't in a hurry.

Yu Zi sat inside the Killing Aura Stone, and through the gaps in the stone, she stretched out a thin line of spiritual energy, probing along the location of the Purification Chapter recorded in the booklet.

It was the dead of night, and they were deep underground, with the Killing Stone providing cover, so Yu Zi couldn't sense anything on the surface.

However, it was fortunate that it was deep underground, making her spiritual threads difficult to detect. If it were on the surface, such a long thread would be easily noticeable.

Yu Zi manipulated the spiritual energy threads and slowly explored forward. After a short while, Yu Zi's eyes lit up slightly.

The situation was much better than she had expected. With almost no effort, she found the location of the next Purification Chapter by using the spiritual energy threads to explore.

Following the thread of spiritual energy, Yu Zi directly traveled into the interior of the Killing Aura Stone, which was inside the Purifying Realm Chapter.

At the center of the enormous oval sphere, Yu Zi floated quietly, the spiritual energy within the Pure Realm Chapter stirred agitated by her sudden intrusion.

The light of spiritual energy flowed in Yu Zi's eyes, and the spiritual energy within the Purification Chapter was visibly depleted as Yu Zi absorbed it into her body.

She landed below and casually covered herself with the killing intent stone that was enveloping the Cleansing Realm Chapter.

She looked down at her arm; there was a crack in her skin, but it wasn't bleeding. A red glow emanated from deep within the crack, like a light bulb was inserted inside.

As soon as it split open, Yuko's terrifying regenerative ability pulled the muscle tissue together forcefully, causing it to heal.

However, another crack appeared.

This is her limit.

The body, as a container, has its limits. Right now, Yuko is like a balloon filled with water, an extra-large one at that. The surface of the balloon has been stretched white and is about to burst at any moment.

"Tsk, it's already not enough?" Yu Zi clicked her tongue in displeasure. "But since it hasn't exploded yet, it means it can still hold up."

Yu Zi followed the same method, using the killing intent stone to conceal herself and drawing out a thin line of spiritual energy to travel out.

soon.

Next one.

Her body vanished from the spot, leaving only the Killing Stones scattered on the ground, devoid of Yuko's power.

……

Yuko landed on the ground, and the Killing Stone covered her like a shield.

After washing this, my body was truly at its limit.

The fully demonized body repeatedly swelled and contracted, its left arm swelling up like an elephant's leg, only to be forcibly pulled back to its original shape by the powerful regenerative ability.

The body can no longer control the amount of spiritual energy.

Does it hurt? Of course it hurts.

Yuko is just good at enduring pain; she's not without pain receptors.

Especially since this wasn't just an ordinary knife wound; the spiritual energy exploded directly from within the body.

The feeling of exploding from the inside out would probably drive anyone else crazy, even though Yuko is used to pain.

pain!It hurts so much!

Making such a commotion just to eat is truly astounding.

The body is constantly being repaired, only to be repeatedly broken through and exploded by spiritual particles that can no longer be absorbed.

If it weren't for the cover provided by the killing intent stone, this commotion would probably have scared the creatures on the surface to death.

Who unleashed such a powerful attack from beneath Seireitei?!

Yuko has been constantly pushing her limits, trying her best to use her body to restrain more spiritual power.

Finally, after repeated absorption, Yuko's body exploded.

Exploding literally.

However, Yuko's regenerative ability was so strong at this point that as long as not a single cell remained, she could regenerate using the remaining spiritual particles.

And coincidentally, the surrounding spiritual particles were plentiful.

Before the burst of blood mist even hit the ground, it was sucked back in mid-air. Bones, meridians, and skin were almost instantly reassembled before being burst open again by the massive spiritual particles.

It exploded, then it restructured. It exploded, then it restructured.

This cycle happened hundreds of times in just one minute.

Finally, in one of the changes...

It's like a river that was originally so narrow that only small boats could pass through, but after being washed away by floods countless times, the channel has widened and is now large enough to fit an aircraft carrier.

Within the confined space, a bright red light shone forth, and the vast spiritual particles permeating the air condensed almost materially into water mist, which Yuko slowly absorbed into her body.

This time, the body did not show any signs of disintegration.

She broke through.

In the words of fantasy novels, she broke through.

She successfully broke through the limits of death and reached another level.

The amount of spiritual energy that was originally so large that it could have caused the body to collapse was now lying quietly inside Yuko's body.

If we compare the previous Yuko to a basin of water and the old man's body to a foot basin, then the current Yuko is at least a bathtub.

The underground chamber fell silent again, with only a wisp of dust floating in the air.

Yuko pushed aside the murderous stones piled up around her, no longer needing to use them to block the spiritual energy.

Its golden eyes turned back to crimson, and its long white hair quickly turned wine red from the tips, while the two demon horns on its head retracted.

It transformed back into human form, only its aura had become much deeper.

If Yuko's previous methods of concealing her aura made it difficult to sense her strength, then now she truly is an immeasurable being.

Unless she deliberately releases her spiritual pressure, people standing in front of her might even think she's just an ordinary high school girl.

It's not that she's narcissistic and thinks she's young; she just looks at most twenty, which is about right if you round it up.

But as long as she even slightly had the thought...

Yuko waved her hand casually.

stab.

A pitch-black crack appeared in the space.

Unlike the effect of swinging a Zanpakuto, it was just pure physical strength plus a little spiritual pressure that shattered the spatial structure.

"Is this what it feels like to have spiritual pressure above first-class?"

Yuko licked her lips, feeling the inexhaustible power within her body, like a vast ocean.

This is not just a difference in the quantity of spiritual pressure, but an evolution in quality.

Just as Yuko speculated, she was not simply a Grim Reaper, and could not be directly defined by the limits of Grim Reaper.

"Trading dozens of Cleansing Realm Chapters for one breakthrough isn't a bad deal."

Even without the help of Hollow power, she successfully completed her evolution.

Speaking of the Void... Yuko kept her mind focused. The Void power that she had originally hidden in a corner of her body had already been shattered beyond repair by the massive flow of spiritual particles during the process of her body constantly rebuilding.

Although she lost the Hollow power that she had only used once or twice, she gained a breakthrough in her limits.

They made a fortune.

Besides, isn't it just the power of the void?

That kind of thing can be obtained anytime you want. Even if Aizen doesn't have it, Urahara might still be hiding it.

……

Another one, another one, and yet another.

The remaining dozen or so Purification Scrolls were being absorbed at an extremely fast speed. When Yu Zi arrived in front of the last Purification Scroll, her aura had returned to its original state.

Not a single detail was missed.

Yuko was still somewhat unsatisfied after casually absorbing the power of the last Purification Chapter into her body.

"Well, we've been underground for most of the day, it's time to go up."

Yu Zi muttered something to herself, and with a flash, she appeared directly on the surface from dozens of meters underground.

"The location here..."

The booklet is a map of the Pure Realm Chapter buried a thousand years ago, and it is already different from what it is now.

Moreover, during the spiritual pressure storm just now, the booklet he was carrying was completely destroyed, leaving not even a trace.

As long as you don't throw her in the face of that old man in the mountains, it'll be fine...

……

problem occurs.

Just what I feared most came to pass.

Yuko blinked as she looked at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was leaning on his cane and standing at the entrance of the First Division, and Sasakibe Chojiro, who was standing behind him like a background wall.

"What a coincidence, you two~ are you out enjoying the moonlight?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized Ikuko from head to toe.

Yu Zi broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like she was about to be discovered.

Although she had surpassed the limits that a Grim Reaper could reach, as the most outstanding one in the Grim Reaper system, the old man's changes could not escape his notice.

but……

"Chōjirō, let's go."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni glanced at Ikuko briefly before turning away and leaving.

Chojiro nods slightly to Ikuko and follows.

This surprised Yuko, who remained where she was.

The other party clearly sensed the slight disturbance underground, and after confirming the situation, they gave up asking any further questions.

This doesn't align with her opinion of the old man in the mountains.

To say he didn't notice? Isn't it obvious at a glance that he was waiting for her?

Moreover, given the experience of these two old men, they must have known about the Jingjiezhang matter.

Watching Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and the other man enter the First Division barracks, Ikuko scratched her head in a troubled manner.

This is really...

I feel a little embarrassed.

It's like following a thief into someone else's house and taking some things, but when the homeowner catches the thief, they selectively ignore her.

Yu Zi could probably understand that the old man was trying to befriend her.

Actually, their feud was wiped clean after the old man from the mountain apologized to her last time.

This made Yuko, who was indebted to the person who had fed her, feel somewhat embarrassed.

...Never mind, let's go find Yoruichi first.

Yuko stood still, her eyes lightly closed, her senses spreading out from her, reaching the edge of Seireitei in just a few seconds.

It can be said that now, as long as it happens within the Seireitei, except for some special buildings, most things cannot escape her perception.

Previously, she had some difficulty sensing the existence of the invisible empire, only vaguely perceiving a sense of unease.

Now, with her perception pushed to its limit, the sense of incongruity was almost visible to the naked eye.

By this time, dawn was breaking, and of the Bounts who had entered Soul Society, only Kariya and Koga remained.

Unless these two are hiding inside some special building.

With Yu Zi's current perception, even a killing intent stone generally cannot block her senses. She can even easily discern who fought whom, as long as there is even a tiny bit of residual spiritual energy at the scene of the battle.

Ichinose Masaki is still alive, but he doesn't look well. He has obviously fought a powerful enemy. Judging from the changes in spiritual pressure remaining in Seireitei, he seems to have lost to his former captain, Kenpachi Zaraki.

Putting aside everything else, this guy has absolutely no self-awareness.

His strength is not just one level below Kenpachi Zaraki, it's two or three levels below.

Moreover, this is Kenpachi Zaraki in his current poor condition; a fully-formed Kenpachi is a monster capable of operating on Hana.

As for Yoruichi and her group's location, Ikuko found them and Kariyagami at Sōki-no-Hill.

Yuko's lips twitched slightly.

What? Is there nowhere else for you to fight inside Seireitei?

Why does everyone like climbing hills?

Yuko muttered to herself, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

Her figure disappeared from the spot.
