Death: Captain Millennium

Chapter 247 Arrival at the Spirit King Palace

Lin Yu had never imagined that the power contained in the Spiritual Wall would be so terrifying. After he had struggled to pass through the 71st layer of the Spiritual Wall, he felt that the Purple Star Realm on his body was like a candle in the wind, shaky and ready to collapse and dissipate at any moment.

This last spiritual wall is not just an ordinary layer. Its power is beyond imagination. It is the sum of the power of the previous seventy-one spiritual walls!

"Damn it, the spiritual wall of this Spirit King Palace is too abnormal! I absolutely can't continue like this. My spiritual pressure is depleting faster and faster, and I'm about to collapse!"

Lin Yu secretly groaned in his heart, but he did not dare to stop for a moment and continued to rush forward desperately.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to break through this last indestructible barrier.

"The sun, moon, and stars, thunder shakes the nine heavens!"

The Zanpakutō in Lin Yu's hand instantly shone with dazzling light, and a powerful spiritual pressure gushed out like a surging wave. At the same time, the originally invisible and intangible spiritual wall began to tremble slightly, and gradually tiny cracks appeared.

"Break it for me!"

Lin Yu swung his sword, and the violent spiritual pressure collided with the spiritual wall and exploded.

"Boom!"

Thunder in broad daylight is not a good sign.

"Enemy attack?!"

With a cry of surprise, the members of Squad Zero were startled awake from their training or resting states. They looked at each other in disbelief. Who could be so bold as to directly attack the Soul King Palace? This was Soul Society's most sacred and heavily guarded place!

"Is Yhwach making a comeback? It shouldn't be the right time yet..."

Hyoshubu Ichibei frowned, secretly surprised. According to the original plan, Yhwach's resurrection would still take some time, but now this situation had suddenly occurred. Could it be that some unexpected event had caused him to wake up prematurely?

Thinking of this, Hyoshubu Ichibei's expression grew increasingly grim. If it truly was Yhwach attacking, Kurosaki Ichigo, with his current strength still underdeveloped, would likely be unable to withstand him. And if Yhwach succeeded and replaced the Soul King as the new Overlord, the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, in his eyes, Yhwach was far from the best candidate for the new Soul King.

Hyoshubu Ichibei suddenly sensed something unusual. Though the powerful Reiatsu surged, it was distinctly different from the aura familiar to Yhwach. He breathed a sigh of relief, realizing his concerns were overblown. But then, a question welled up in his mind: who was this unfamiliar Reiatsu?

"Captain Lin Yu?"

After the explosion, Hikifune Kiryu identified the master of the spiritual pressure: Lin Yu, Captain of the Gotei 13's 7th Division. Although she was puzzled by his rash intrusion into the Soul King Palace, she was certain he wasn't an enemy, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Oh! I'm injured again. I shouldn't have fought so hard."

Although Lin Yu deployed his domain in time during the explosion, he was still injured. After all, the aftermath of the collision between his own power and the power of the spiritual wall was quite powerful. The injury he received in the previous battle against the will of Hell had not healed yet, and now he was injured again. Why was he so unlucky?

As an experienced "Old Six," he couldn't maintain his perfect state at this moment, which was truly worrying! What if a terrifying and powerful enemy suddenly appeared at this moment? In such a situation, it would be tantamount to committing suicide in vain!

The five members of Squad Zero were all hot-tempered. Given the commotion he'd just made, they'd undoubtedly been noticed. Aside from Hikifune Kiryu, who had a slight connection with him, the rest would likely have attacked him without mercy.

He quickly looked around, trying to figure out which Zero-Ban Palace he was in. However, the earth-shattering explosion had left him dizzy and disoriented, and he hadn't even seen which Palace he had landed on.

"It would be better if it was Hikifune Kiryu's Wotunden. At least I could recuperate for a while."

Lin Yu looked up at the majestic and imposing palace towering in the sky. That palace must be the legendary Spirit King's coffin palace! He couldn't help but wonder, was it really necessary to guard it so closely? Could such a large coffin possibly grow legs and escape? Were they afraid that the Spirit King would suddenly change his mind and decide to continue living, thus resurrecting his corpse?

You know, the Soul King possesses the pinnacle of power within the Three Realms! Does such a powerful being really need protection? Lin Yu believed the truth wasn't quite that simple. He was more inclined to believe that Squad Zero's true mission wasn't simply to protect the Soul King, but to secretly monitor him.

As for the true nature of this, perhaps only the monk who had always accompanied the Spirit King knew the truth. After all, the five nobles had joined forces to attack the Spirit King, leaving only the monk behind. This was truly puzzling, and there must be some unknown secret.

However, this is not what he needs to worry about at this stage. What he needs to do is to find Wang Yue and repair Renji's Zanpakuto. This is the top priority.

"Someone is coming!"

Lin Yu sensed a spiritual pressure approaching at a very fast speed, and it was not the Hikifune Kiryu he was familiar with. Who could it be?

"Hmm? A plane head?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure approaching rapidly. The man had an extremely exaggerated hairstyle and a wooden stick in his mouth. These obvious features made it clear that he was Tian Shilang from Qilin Temple. So this should be the Qilin Hall.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Spirit King's Palace!"

Tian Shilang's roar could be heard from far away. For those who dared to break into the Palace of the Spirit King, their duty was to wipe out the other party and eliminate all unstable factors.

"who are you?"

Tenshiro came closer and saw the intruder clearly. He was wearing a Shinigami suit and a captain's haori, so it seemed that he should be the captain of the Gotei 13.

"NTMD! Are you blind? Can't you see I'm wearing the captain's haori? You can use your eyes to feed dogs if you don't need them! Why are you acting so high and mighty here?"

Lin Yu's stubborn temper suddenly came up, and he spoke of the quintessence of Chinese culture. He scolded Tian Shilang without any courtesy and yelled in front of him. He really thought he was Hello Kitty. No one dared to yell at him like this for many years. How dare Tian Shilang?

"Could it be the captain of the juniors? Is he so irritable? I just yelled. Is there a need for such a big reaction?"

Tian Shilang was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had been criticized like this. How could he feel? He was also a Shinigami who had been promoted from the Gotei 13 to the Zero Division, but he didn't seem to have any memory of someone as arrogant as Lin Yu.
