A World Burned to Ash 2

"Pfft!"

The blade, whose raging flames were condensed to the extreme, slashed away his attack in one fell swoop, the cutting edge cutting straight into his body like a hot knife through butter.

The next moment, that body that had almost surpassed the pinnacle of the Shinigami instantly swelled and burst, turning into an endless stream of flames.

Died again.

At this moment, the entire Kyougoku had already been set ablaze.

The vegetation and creatures had all been ignited into torches in the first few seconds.

Now, even the soil had become fuel for the flames.

The Kyougoku, which the Kunitsuna clan had been managing for tens of thousands of years, had turned into a hell swallowed by flames in just a few short seconds.

Only a few Shinigami who were still quite strong were still fleeing into the passage opened by Iihara Kaname, constantly dodging the flames.

Kunitsuna Shōgo revived once again.

However, when he returned to his original state.

Seeing the Kyougoku that had almost been burned to ashes, his mind almost fell off the edge of a cliff.

The Spirit King's bone embedded in his chest was still shining.

But he had no possibility of continuing to improve.

"This can't be..."

Kunitsuna Shōgo was like a gambler who had bet all his money and lost everything, looking at the scene in front of him with bloodshot eyes, letting out a roar that was ignited by the distorted air:

"The Tsunayashiro clan, the order guarded by the Tsunayashiro clan... the rules..."

"How can it be destroyed by my hands?!"

"Yamamoto, Yamamoto..."

Tears of blood flowed from his young face.

Yamamoto's hand remained steady, and his eyes were just as cold.

"Zanka no Tachi, South: Greater Burial of the Scorching Infernal Realm!"

Suddenly, the earth surrounding him and Kunitsuna Shōgo turned into flowing lava, and then spewed and flew out like the corona of the sun, drawing blazing arcs in the air, rapidly increasing the temperature of the entire ground surface to more than 6,000 degrees.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

The spiritual network that made up the Kyougoku finally began to become unable to support itself under the shaking of this power, shaking constantly in the high temperature, as if causing a terrifying earthquake of more than a dozen levels.

The original clear sky turned into a red glow, the air constantly fleeing outward under the urging of the high heat, and the basic spiritual pressure that formed the soil also volatilized, forming large patches of grayish-black smoke.

The world, was evaporating.

At this time, the Genryū Shinigami in the Kyougoku had either escaped from the space passage, or had already died in the high heat.

Only a group of lieutenants, and Fujimiya Makoto, whose strength was close to theirs, were still standing in the air, standing at the entrance of the black cavity torn apart by the space blade, quietly watching this gradually dying world.

Until today, no one except Unohana Retsu had ever truly seen Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's full strength.

Now that they had seen it, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence.

That power, which was like a natural disaster, was truly easy to make people feel discouraged...

He was utterly unreachable.

Even the mighty Unohana was the same.

Only Fujimiya Makoto watched quietly, feeling the power that was infinitely close to the 'Transcendent', he murmured softly:

"One day..."

[I want this sky to no longer cover my eyes! I want this land...]

"Shut up!"

Fujimiya Makoto suddenly had a feeling of sublimation, suddenly interrupted by Xiao Po Dao.

It was too hateful, this guy.

And among all these people, Kunitsuna Shōgo was the one who had the deepest understanding of this power.

He stood in the air, looking at Yamamoto, who was standing not far in front of him, as if he had lost his soul.

At the same time, he also felt his body evaporating.

Just as he had said before.

Kunitsuna Shōgo's life had been briefly bound to this world through the Spirit King's bone.

Naturally.

The destruction and demise of this Kyougoku also heralded his death.

"It seems that your weakness is not just spiritual pressure."

"Even that blade can only imitate the Shikai, and can't copy other people's Bankai?"

"You have saved me a lot of effort."

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni wore a robe of fire, held a charred blade, and had the earth scorched by the fiery hell behind him. The air was blood red, as if it had been sprinkled with blood. Endless black smoke rose from the ground, rising to the sky, until it burned the entire world.

He looked at this long-lost opponent in front of him, his voice calm.

"Heh, hehehe... Hahahaha!"

Kunitsuna Shōgo lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking of, and suddenly let out a heart-wrenching laugh.

"Yamamoto."

"You don't know what Tsunayashiro is guarding."

"Now, since you have chosen to take over this Soul Society..."

"Then I'll give it to you!"

His eyes were bloodshot, covered with blood, and his body was constantly melting under the high temperature at close range, roaring with all his strength:

"Don't you want to protect the common people?!"

"Then it's your turn!"

"Yamamoto!"

"I'll see what you can do!"

"A cruel guy like you will change! Definitely!"

"Become... Like me!"

"You don't understand the essence of this world!"

"You! Can't change anything!"

Kunitsuna Shōgo stared at him, his voice gradually changing from screaming to drooping, and even his voice seemed to have disappeared.

At this last moment, he had already given up resistance after revealing all of his cards.

However, a grim smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at Yamamoto.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni was still as before, without the slightest intention of answering this sentence.

His eyes remained firm and unwavering.

At the same time, he was ruthless and decisive enough!

Yamamoto extended the charred long sword and unleashed the final blow towards Kunitsuna Shōgo.

"Zanka no Tachi, North: Heaven-and-Earth Ashes!"

His blade seemed slow but fast, and in an instant it dispersed dazzling light.

At that moment, Fujimiya Makoto only felt that his entire vision was covered with a layer of white ash, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

When everything dissipated.

When he opened his eyes again.

Kunitsuna Shōgo's head had already turned into nothingness in the endless flames.

Only a broken corpse fell on the evaporating earth.

As this entire Kyougoku continued to collapse.

The Spirit King's bone in Kunitsuna Shōgo's chest scattered into the air like smoke.

This time, he didn't continue to revive.

Yamamoto lowered his waist and grasped the Enrakyōten, inserting the blade next to the other party's corpse.

He turned around, and the fire robe on his body dissipated.

Carrying the gradually collapsing world on his back, he walked towards the black cavity.

As if nothing had happened.
