"Bankai, Akuryū Zōsei!!!" Tetsuya Miyamoto spread his arms and laughed wildly.
Countless branches instantly grew from the ground. Instead of leaves, they were covered in clusters of bacterial spores.
The small, finger-sized spore clusters quickly detached and spread through the air.
Miyamoto didn't seem to be able to control the direction of the spores, but their sheer number quickly filled the space in every direction.
Sora's eyes narrowed. He rapidly retreated, creating distance from the surging cloud of spores.
To prevent accidental contact with too many spores and having his spiritual pressure drained, he immediately took out a Nōreitan and swallowed it.
Miyamoto was a Shinigami of the same type as Mayuri Kurotsuchi and even possessed the technology to modify his own Zanpakutō.
This type of Shinigami was extremely difficult to deal with.
Sora glanced at Miyamoto in the distance.
In just that short time, the wound that stretched nearly from his shoulder to his abdomen had already healed.
"My Bankai can fill your entire shadow space. Where can you run now? Oh, that's right," Miyamoto taunted, "you can hide in your shadows and not come out, until your spiritual pressure is completely depleted!"
At the same time, the bodies of the Reigai that came into contact with the spore clusters began to change rapidly.
Countless gashes opened on their bodies, from which dense clusters of fleshy tumors grew.
"Ah, these Reigai have also reached their limit. Then they shall become nutrients for 'Akuryū'," Miyamoto chuckled.
The tumors on the Reigai grew larger and larger until they were the size of basketballs, at which point they burst open.
From within the tumors, countless more bacterial spores scattered into the air.
The space available for Sora to move was shrinking.
"I have to use a single, powerful attack to kill him in one blow," Sora thought.
Although Sora could remotely control his shadows to attack Miyamoto, Miyamoto was a captain-class Shinigami. Shadows alone could not kill him.
Miyamoto's body had been modified and was completely different from a normal spiritual body.
The bacterial spores attached to him would inject him with a drug that allowed his body to regenerate, giving him an extremely powerful healing ability.
Dragging this out would be extremely disadvantageous.
Sora raised his Zanpakutō. He bent the index and middle fingers of his left hand, clamping them tightly against the blade.
By forgoing the scabbard and using only his fingers to compress the spiritual pressure, the speed of his slash had to reach its absolute limit to keep the pressure from dissipating when he released the attack.
Previously, his slashing speed was much slower than Batsu'unsai's and did not meet the threshold for using the Blade Sealing Method.
To perform "Ryūkō" with this method, he had to rely on the "Raikiri: Shitotsu" technique to further increase his speed.
But his current strength was on a completely different level.
Now, Sora could perform "Ryūkō" with the Blade Sealing Method even without relying on the "Raikiri: Shitotsu" technique.
But a normal "Ryūkō" was not enough to kill Miyamoto.
As Sora's two fingers clamped down on the blade, arcs of electricity and sparks appeared at his fingertips.
Not only that, but an invisible current of air also wrapped around his fingers.
The airflow caught the dancing arcs and sparks, rapidly transferring them to the blade.
The airflow, electricity, and sparks intertwined, forming visible golden threads.
In an instant, the black blade was wrapped in countless golden threads.
The threads dyed the black blade a dark gold.
Wind-Controlling, Thunder-Burning Ryūkō!
Sora released his fingers, and the Zanpakutō was instantly raised.
A dim, golden stream of light appeared in an instant, striking Miyamoto.
The speed of this dim golden light exceeded Miyamoto's reaction speed.
He had no time to dodge before it passed through his body.
The next moment, Miyamoto's body was disintegrated by the stream of light. His spiritual body vanished within it.
The dim golden light met no resistance and slammed directly into the pitch-black shadow wall that formed the boundary of the shadow space.
It pierced straight through the shadow space.
CRACK—
The shadow space shattered.
After piercing the shadow space, the dim golden light did not stop. It passed through the laboratory and then through the ground.
On the surface, two Onmitsukidō Shinigami were cautiously observing the surroundings. If they detected any unusual activity, they were to notify the infiltration team to evacuate immediately, preventing them from being trapped inside.
Suddenly, the two Shinigami sensed a terrifying spiritual pressure fluctuation coming from underground.
"Isn't it shielded by Sekkiseki down there? How can such a terrifying spiritual pressure fluctuation be coming out?" they wondered.
But the next moment, unseen by them, a dim golden stream of light erupted from the ground.
After passing through the ground, the light entered the surface lake.
SZZZZZZZZ—
The two noticed the disturbance in the lake and quickly used Shunpo to get into the air. Then they saw it—
The lake was boiling, rapidly releasing immense amounts of steam, and the water level was dropping at an incredible rate.
In the blink of an eye, half of the lake, which covered several thousand square kilometers, was evaporated by the terrifying temperature of the light.
A dim golden stream of light was now visible to the two Onmitsukidō members in the air.
"What is that light?!" The two Shinigami were profoundly shaken.
The scene before them was too terrifying. Such a massive lake had been half-evaporated in an instant!
The dim golden light did not stop after passing through the lake.
Along its path, every tree, rock, and even mountain that stood in its way was destroyed and pierced through.
The dim golden light traveled for an unknown distance before finally dissipating.
The two Onmitsukidō Shinigami remained stunned in the air for a long time before remembering their duty.
One of them quickly took out his Denreishinki: "Vice-Captain, we have an anomaly here! We just saw a beam of light shoot out from underground! Are you all safe? What happened down there? Isn't it shielded by Sekkiseki? That beam pierced through it?!"
The two had many questions, but the most unbelievable thing was that the beam had pierced through Sekkiseki, which could block reishi!
What they didn't know was that the stream of light Sora had released not only contained reishi but also had the effect of a physical slash. Sekkiseki could not withstand such an attack and was pierced directly through.
Yoruichi Shihōin's voice came from the Denreishinki, though she also sounded somewhat confused: "I don't know the specifics, but I think that was one of my Professor's sword techniques."
Due to the barrier of the shadow space, Yoruichi didn't know what had just happened.
"That was a sword technique?!" The expressions of the Onmitsukidō members turned blank
