Chapter 451: Hueco-Yoya Palace, ‘King of Hueco Mundo’

"Are you going to try the Arrancar now?"

Xia Li looked at Ulquiorra with a little expectation.

"Okay." Ulquiorra answered seriously.

Then, under the gaze of Xia Li and Stark, Ulquiorra actually stretched out his hand to pull on his mask and tore it off.

After the mask fell off, Ulquiorra also revealed his black hair, pale skin, and dark green tear marks on his face.

"Is it that simple?" Stark couldn't help but be a little surprised and stunned when he saw this scene. If it was that simple, then his split soul would look so clown...

"No, it's not that simple. This can't be called an Arrancar, because this mask will regenerate later, am I right?" Xia Li felt Ulquiorra's power, and actually didn't change much, and said.

"Yes, I don't know how to make it stop regenerating." Ulquiorra replied.

Xia Li set his sights on Stark, who was the only one who had completed the Arrancar before.

Stark also said helplessly, "I don't know either. My Arrancar just wanted another companion, so he split his soul into two halves and injected it into that gun, and then it seemed to be completed by himself."

"Yeah." Xia Li also nodded, thinking of the Arrancar's 'Bankai', which is the return to the blade.

Return to the blade, what blade is returned? The blade represents the weapon, so Ulquiorra should use his body to condense a 'Zanpakuto' belonging to him when he was an Arrancar.

Xia Li also told Stark and Ulquiorra this guess.

After thinking about it, Ulquiorra also nodded, thinking that it should be so.

"Then I'll try again." Ulquiorra said so, and then the mask on his face that was originally torn off regenerated at a very fast speed under his active control.

Then, Ulquiorra started to act again, but this time he was a little confused.

That is, he didn't know what kind of weapon he was going to condense. After thinking for a long time, Ulquiorra's eyes fell on Stark's double guns and Xia Li's Mirror and Water.

In the end, Ulquiorra decided to condense a weapon like Xia Li's. His fighting style was not suitable for those two guns.

Soon, in the eyes of Stark and Xia Li, the mask on Ulquiorra's face seemed to disappear. At the same time, Ulquiorra seemed to have a samurai sword in his hand.

Xia Li had already maximized his perception at this time. In his perception, Ulquiorra's spiritual power was constantly fluctuating, which contained a huge amount of hollow power.

At the same time, in this hollow power, it seemed to contain the power of the god of death that Xia Li was familiar with.

Xia Li's eyes were also a little excited. Sure enough, the power of the god of death and the hollow could be completely integrated.

Moreover, they didn't need to be like Kurosaki Ichigo.

After all, Ichigo Kurosaki's power is a combination of several powers formed by so many "coincidences", and it is basically impossible to replicate.

But since Ulquiorra and Stark can break the boundary between Hollow and Shinigami by themselves, then Shinigami should also have this ability.

At this time, Xia Li suddenly realized something...

The path he took might be very similar to that of the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki, because when Mei Jing Shisui really completed the hollowing, then Mei Jing Shisui and the bull head in Ichigo Kurosaki's body have the same nature of power.

However, Xia Li remembered that Ichigo Kurosaki only used the full power of the bull head once, and basically he would not use all the power of the bull head afterwards.

And Xia Li obviously wanted to go a step further and completely integrate the power of Mei Jing Shisui into himself.

"I'm really looking forward to it." Xia Li's eyes showed a light, maybe he could really break his limit.

However, at this time, some things happened on Ulquiorra's side.

The Zanpakutō in his hand was very unstable, and finally broke into pieces, and his mask that was about to disappear appeared on his face again.

"Failed?" Stark frowned.

"Not a failure, but Ulquiorra hasn't fully mastered this kind of power yet. As long as he becomes more proficient, he should be able to complete it." Xia Li also saw it and said directly.

"Yes, I can't control the new power that has emerged." Ulquiorra also responded at this time.

At this moment, Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure has been reduced a lot, and it seems that this attempt to break the face is also very consuming for him.

However, Ulquiorra seems to want to try again, but is stopped by Xia Li.

"Try again after you are fully recovered, don't rush." ​​Xia Li said.

"Okay." Ulquiorra nodded.

Xia Li looked at Ulquiorra and felt that the other party... seemed to be a little obedient?

Was it his illusion?

"So Xia Li, where are we going next?" Stark asked at this time. He had already found Xia Li and Ulquiorra, so he could say that he was satisfied.

Stark didn't care if he couldn't find new companions later.

"Next, just walk around." Xia Li was not sure. In fact, his goal in Hueco Mundo had been achieved, so it was okay to leave now.

"Are you looking for powerful companions?" Ulquiorra asked at this time.

"This was the previous goal, but after finding you, this goal is basically completed." Stark yawned and said lazily, and the previous enthusiasm seemed to disappear at this moment.

"Does that mean there is no need to find new companions?" Ulquiorra was a little confused.

"Do you know that there are powerful hollows nearby?" Xia Li was stunned at this time. He heard the meaning of Ulquiorra's words.

"Well, I heard those guys who excluded me before." This time, Ulquiorra did not call those hollows companions.

"Really? Where is it?" Stark was also a little surprised.

"In the center of the sand sea over there, there is a Hueco Night Palace. There seems to be the king of Hueco Mundo, ruling Hueco Mundo." Ulquiorra replied.

"The king of Hueco Mundo?"

Stark and Xia Li were a little surprised. Is it true, and the sand sea?

Stark and Xia Li looked at each other. They had been wandering in the sand sea for so long before and didn't see any forces?

However, they did not doubt that Ulquiorra would lie. Although they had not had much contact with him, they all felt that Ulquiorra was... quite honest.

"Xia Li, shall we go over and take a look?" Stark asked.

"It's okay anyway, let's go over and take a look at this so-called 'king' of Hueco Mundo." Xia Li was also interested at this time and said.

"Okay." Stark also nodded. He was also a little interested in the 'king' of Hueco Mundo.

The other party was the king of Hueco Mundo, which meant that he was the king of all hollows. Stark himself didn't know when there was an extra king on his head.

"Also, after I left, how was your power control?" Xia Li suddenly asked.

"Uh..."

Suddenly, Stark felt a little bad, scratched his head, and wanted to change the subject, but Xia Li did not give Stark a chance and directly pulled out the Mirror Shisui.

Soon, under the pressure of countless pure white swords, Stark was easily defeated again.

"It seems that there is really no progress." Xia Li took back the Mirror Shisui and said.

"No, it's obvious that you have become stronger again..." Stark wanted to complain.

Xia Li's way of using sword pressure was actually learned from Kenpachi Zaraki. Although it is not sophisticated enough, it is simple and direct, relying on the powerful spiritual pressure of Kenpachi Zaraki and Xia Li.

They just swung their swords, and the power of the sword pressure they carried was ridiculously large.

Xia Li didn't need to use the sword form to fight Stark, so he just used this simplest method to test it directly, and the result...

Stark probably spent more than a month looking for Ulquiorra.

And Ulquiorra was also watching the battle between Xia Li and Stark from the side. His eyes were fixed on the sword pressure generated by Xia Li's sword swinging, and the absolute oppressive feeling of spiritual pressure coming from Xia Li every time he swung the sword.

From the beginning, Ulquiorra felt that Xia Li should be very strong, and now it seems that it is true.

"Ulquiorra, I'll leave the battle test with Stark to you. Your strength should be relatively similar, and you can promote each other." Xia Li said at this time.

"Okay." Ulquiorra beside him nodded without refusing.

At this time, Stark also noticed that something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "Ulquiorra, why do you listen to Xia Li so much?"

"Because he is much stronger than me, isn't it wrong to listen to the strong?" Ulquiorra asked back.

At this time, Stark was also a little speechless. How to say this? In Hueco Mundo, the law of the jungle is still a very normal survival rule.

But now it seems that this rule does not apply to them very much, right?

Xia Li also looked at Ulquiorra at this time and said, "Generally speaking, you'd better have your own opinions and ideas. Your companions can't completely dominate everything about you..."

Ulquiorra nodded, indicating that he knew.

"Then can I ask, why is your aura different from ours?" Ulquiorra finally asked.

He was very curious before. Xia Li's aura was different from him and Stark, but because Xia Li was much stronger than him before, he would not ask this question.

And now, according to what Stark and Xia Li said, it should be okay for him to ask this question.

"Because I am the god of death." Xia Li also answered.

"Death god? What is it?" Ulquiorra was a little confused. It was the first time for him to hear so many new things.

At this moment, he was very interested in these things he didn't understand.

Xia Li had explained this question to Stark before, so Stark took over and explained to Ulquiorra the relationship between the god of death, humans and hollows.

"Then, Xia Li should be our enemy?" Ulquiorra asked after listening to Stark's words.

"Of course not, there is no essential hostility between the hollows and the god of death." Stark replied, "After all, according to Xia Li, if the balance of the three realms is unbalanced, the Hueco Mundo will also be destroyed."

"So, the god of death is the maintainer of this balance?" Ulquiorra frowned.

"That's right." Xia Li nodded at this time, "Because the Death God is more powerful."

"Is that so?" Ulquiorra nodded. Sure enough, in the end it all comes down to strength.

Then, the three of them walked towards the center of the sand sea. With Ulquiorra's guidance, it shouldn't take long this time.

Along the way, Stark and Ulquiorra also fought several times, and Stark basically won the final victory.

Xia Li looked on and nodded. Sure enough, it was basically impossible for Ulquiorra to be Stark's opponent before he completed the second stage of return.

As for Ulquiorra's Arrancar progress, he has been able to persist for a long time, but he still cannot complete the final step.

In this way, the three people found a palace.

"Is this the Xuye Palace?" Xia Li sighed as she looked at the Xuye Palace in front of her. It would be really hard to find it without guidance.

"It should be, but there seem to be a little few Hollows here. Is it really the palace of the King of Hueco Mundo?" Stark also looked at everything around him curiously. At this moment, his spiritual pressure was finally able to suppress it. It won't cause ordinary virtual pressure to collapse as soon as it gets close.

"I have only heard of it, and have never seen what the real Xuye Palace looks like." Ulquiorra said from the side.

"It should be here. There is a great void at least at the level of Vastod." Xia Li said at this time, having already sensed the figure with huge spiritual pressure in Xuye Palace.

"Then let's go in and take a look first." Stark said, feeling a little dreamy at this time.

He had been searching for so long before but could not find anyone who could be his companion, but during this period of time, he found Xia Li, Ulquiorra, and this guy in Xuye Palace one after another.

Of course, there is no certainty that the other party will definitely become their companion.

The three of them walked into Xuye Palace. As for the surrounding obstructions, after Stark released his spiritual pressure a little, those Xuye no longer dared to approach, let alone block them.

Inside Xuye Palace.

Xia Li looked at the surrounding scenery. How should I put it, it was only a little better than the sand sea, but it was still very desolate.

Calling this place a palace is really too flattering. In Xia Li's opinion, this can only be regarded as the most primitive stone house, just a little bigger and with a few simple pillars next to it.

Most of the place is made of unpolished stone, and there are those stone walls...

Not to mention compared with modern buildings, even the buildings of primitive society are estimated to be inferior.

However, they did not come here for these buildings. Soon, the three of them saw the 'King' of Hueco Mundo sitting on the throne, staring at them angrily.

A skeleton wearing a crown and covered in black flames! (End of chapter)
