"Hado Number Sixty-Three: Raikōhō!"
In an instant, a golden ball of lightning formed and collided with the countless bloody flesh buds coming from the opposite direction.
"Sizzle!"
A large number of flesh buds were scorched by the lightning, but in a flash, the necrotic flesh buds fell off and new ones grew back.
Seeing this, Ito Makoto frowned slightly.
"This is somewhat similar to a Hollow's Speed Regeneration."
The next moment, countless scarlet flesh buds attacked again, and the tips of the flesh buds all transformed into sharp blades.
"Whoosh!"
Ito Makoto activated Shunko again, and a white light enveloped him, causing his speed to surge.
"Hmm? This is... Shihoin Family's Shunko. Do you also have entanglements with the people of the Four Great Noble Families?"
Kasumioji Yunchuan recognized the Shunko used by Ito Makoto at a glance.
But Ito Makoto did not reply, still dodging and weaving, avoiding the bloody flesh buds that were like maggots on bones, while muttering:
"The crest that faintly reveals turbidity, the unruly and arrogant talent; surging, denial, paralysis, a moment, hindering eternal slumber. The crawling steel princess, the constantly self-mutilating clay doll, combine, rebound, extend to the ground, know your own powerlessness!"
"Hado Number Ninety: Kurohitsugi!"
Afterward, a massive, pitch-black coffin, over a hundred feet tall and covered in black spikes, formed around Kasumioji Yunchuan's body.
"This is..."
Facing the fully chanted Kurohitsugi from Ito Makoto, a hint of surprise appeared on Kasumioji Yunchuan's face for the first time.
"Boom!"
A few breaths later, the giant Kurohitsugi slowly dissipated, revealing Kasumioji Yunchuan's figure within.
At this moment, she had lost her composure from before; there was not a single intact piece of flesh on her body, and countless bloody flesh buds rolled, like dense, scarlet snakeheads constantly writhing on her body.
"Ah, you hurt me so much!"
Seeing this, Ito Makoto was somewhat surprised, not expecting that his fully chanted Kurohitsugi could not cause substantial damage to this monster.
"Sigh, those with self-healing abilities are truly troublesome!"
Just as Ito Makoto was secretly complaining, Kasumioji Yunchuan had already completed the repair of her body.
"It really hurts so much! I'm going to eat you!"
A demonic red light flickered in Kasumioji Yunchuan's crimson pupils, and she licked her tongue at Ito Makoto.
"Rift Restraint!"
In response to the woman's crazed actions, six interlocking black rings with a destructive aura met her.
"Boom!"
The black rings, carrying incredibly powerful shockwaves, directly struck Kasumioji Yunchuan's chest.
In an instant, her entire chest seemed to explode into a bloody mist, but it recovered shortly after.
"That's a truly amazing ability. It seems I'll have to use my full power to eat you."
Kasumioji Yunchuan's frenzied voice permeated the entire barrier.
As she uttered a few obscure, difficult-to-understand syllables, a powerful aura suddenly rose from the ruins of the smithy. A flash of blood light appeared, and an unremarkably long blade materialized in her hand.
The appearance of this blade was extremely similar to an ordinary Asauchi, the only difference being an eyeball embedded in its hilt.
Gazing at the blade, Kasumioji Yunchuan's face once again showed a look of recollection.
"This blade was the one I wanted to give to Ito Kai back then. He actually dared to refuse me! Refuse this strongest Bakuyoto, forged from the main trunk of a Bakuyo Insect!"
Kasumioji Yunchuan gently stroked the blade.
The next moment, a scarlet blood-light surged from the blade, directly piercing Ito Makoto's shoulder at an incomprehensible speed.
"What..."
Ito Makoto turned his head to look at the bloody hole in his left shoulder, his expression somewhat grim.
"Is this... a spatial slash, or a rule-based ability similar to universal penetration?"
Seeing Ito Makoto in a predicament, Kasumioji Yunchuan seemed a little carried away with herself:
"Surprised? The ability of this Bakuyoto is spatial cutting. Your shoulder wasn't cut or pierced; it was caused by me directly cutting the space at your shoulder!"
Gazing at the gruesome bloody hole on his shoulder, Ito Makoto first used Shunko to create distance, then quickly used Kidō to stop the bleeding from his shoulder.
Kasumioji Yunchuan, however, would not give him this chance and activated spatial penetration again. Thus, the two engaged in a tug-of-war.
A few minutes later, Ito Makoto, due to a moment of carelessness, had his left leg bone pierced again. Watching his blood flow, Ito Makoto sighed deeply.
In her previous flesh-ball form, she only had Reiatsu but lacked powerful combat methods. Therefore, even Kasumioji Qianxue, who possessed Third Class Reiatsu, could suppress her.
But now that the Bakuyo Insect had gained human form and regained its sanity, coupled with this powerful Bakuyoto, it could indeed fully unleash its Second Class Reiatsu to its extreme. Even Ito Makoto, who borrowed thirty percent of his main body's Reiatsu, was only at mid-level Second Class Reiatsu. Thus, Ito Makoto fought with extreme difficulty.
"How is it? How powerful is this Bakuyoto? It is the strongest in the spatial type!"
Kasumioji Yunchuan's voice, carried by the Reishi in the air, echoed in every corner of the barrier.
"Don't flatter yourself. I admit that this Bakuyoto's ability is strong, but it is not the strongest spatial-type blade!"
"Because the strongest spatial-type blade... is my blade!"
Leaning against the corner of the ruined wall, Ito Makoto, panting heavily, looked up at the excited Kasumioji Yunchuan in mid-air and slowly spoke.
"Big words! Let me eat you instead!"
As she spoke, countless scarlet flesh buds, like countless sharp blades, rushed towards Ito Makoto in the corner of the wall.
"Bankai: Myriad Realms Soumetsu Kill!"
As Ito Makoto finished the release command, in an instant, black and white Reiatsu filled the entire barrier. A terrifying, world-ending aura echoed throughout the entire barrier; those scarlet flesh buds were crushed into dust and returned to nothingness several feet away from the two-colored Reiatsu.
If this place were not the core family territory of the Kasumioji Family, and if this barrier had not been reinforced countless times, coupled with Ito Makoto's extreme restraint of his Reiatsu, this powerful Reiatsu fluctuation would probably have broken through the barrier and swept across the entire Soul Society.
A moment later, the dark Reiatsu receded, revealing Ito Makoto's figure. His Soumetsu had undergone a drastic transformation; its originally pure white blade had become black and white, and the blade itself had become more slender. The tsuba had transformed into a Swastika-shape, and the chain at the end of the hilt had disappeared.
The blade was constantly surrounded by many small, interweaving black and white light points.
"Hahaha, your tiny blade, can it actually be called a Bankai?"
Seeing the form of Ito Makoto's blade after Bankai, Kasumioji Yunchuan immediately mocked him.
Immediately after, she waved the Bakuyoto in her hand, and a scarlet spatial cut attacked again. In response, Ito Makoto merely lightly raised his Zanpakuto and met the scarlet beam of light. The spatial cut that had previously pushed Ito Makoto into a desperate situation instantly vanished into nothingness the moment it touched Ito Makoto's blade.
"Impossible... Your blade, it can actually block a spatial cut!"
Facing Kasumioji Yunchuan's surprise, Ito Makoto smiled faintly with a calm expression:
"Nothing is impossible. I told you long ago, my blade is the strongest spatial-type Zanpakuto!"
"A mere Bakuyoto is nothing to speak of!"
