Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 76 Sit upright in the frost-covered sky—Hyourinmaru!

Pengcheng.

"It is indeed my problem that I lack spiritual power, but isn't it your problem that you can't absorb spiritual energy from the air?"

With a sweeping flash of light, Shen Mo instantly killed the three mutated dogs that pounced on him. Looking down at the Zanpakuto in his hand, he said with a look of disappointment.

"You're not the original Zanpakuto that didn't even have a name yet; you're a fully-fledged Zanpakuto now. Can't you absorb spiritual energy from the air to sustain yourself?"

"Can you believe that I, wielding the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, am ranked fifth on the list of extraordinary individuals? And that's just the publicly known one. If you include those hidden ones, I wouldn't even make it into the top ten."

"Putting everything else aside, those who eat Devil Fruits are all ranked above me. Naruto has the Otsutsuki God, but what does One Piece have? Everyone says 'Naruto vs. Bleach,' but now even the last-ranked sea character is above us?"

"Give it your all, bro!"

The Zanpakuto trembled slightly, as if in protest.

What Zanpakuto needs to absorb spiritual energy from the air on its own?

"You always get thrashed by Shiro, getting instantly killed by Aizen; you also get thrashed by me, and are crushed by the extraordinary powers of other worlds."

"People now think it's you who's incompetent, not us."

Upon hearing his words, the Zanpakuto emitted a buzzing vibration, as if in rebuttal.

What is the connection between the owner's lung fog and this?
"Sigh, if I had received other Zanpakuto instead of you, such as Kyoka Suigetsu, Senbonzakura, or Ryujin Jakka, they certainly wouldn't be as useless as you, leaving me with no choice but to rely on swordsmanship to fight against mutated creatures."

As Shen Mo used his Zanpakuto to kill the mutated pets around him, he let out a long sigh.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Zanpakuto in his hand suddenly emitted a chilling aura!
"Ok?"

The next second, a terrifying suction force surged from the blade, frantically drawing spiritual energy from Shen Mo's body; his face instantly turned pale, but a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes—a clear intent emanated from the blade:

(Quickly replenish your spiritual energy! I'm about to unleash my ultimate attack!)
"Good, good! It should have been done a long time ago!"

Without saying a word, Shen Mo immediately took out a handful of spiritual energy potion from his spatial ring, bit open the bottle stopper, and gulped down three bottles in a row; the surging spiritual power instantly filled his body, and the suction force of the Zanpakuto became stronger and stronger, and the surrounding air began to distort.

Sensing the replenishment of spiritual energy, the Zanpakuto emitted a cheerful hum; Shen Mo grinned, gripped the sword with both hands, and chanted loudly:
"Sit upright in the frosty sky—"

"Hyōrinmaru!!!"

"boom--"

A dazzling ice-blue light shot into the sky! The Zanpakuto in his hand suddenly changed shape, transforming into a slender longsword. The blade was covered with a soft ice-blue light, and a crescent-shaped chain extended from the end of the hilt, like the tail of an ice dragon.

A terrifying chill erupted centered on Shen Mo!

"Click, click-"

Thick layers of ice instantly formed on the ground within a radius of 100 meters, and moisture in the air condensed into countless ice crystals; the mutated pets that pounced were frozen into ice sculptures while still in their charging posture; further away, frost patterns covered the surfaces of buildings, streetlights shattered, and the temperature of the entire street dropped to its lowest point in an instant!
Shen Mo's breath condensed into ice powder in the air.

"This is right!"

"If you had done this sooner, would Gu Che, Lu Jing, and Lin Ruoxi have been ranked above us?"

"Even if Ye Xuan isn't good enough, that guy's strength is truly freakish."

"But it's alright. Apart from Elder Zhong and Ye Xuan, and those two people who are suspected to be fifth-tier but whose identities are unknown, we are the strongest in this era!" "Let the power of the Grim Reaper bloom anew in this world, Hyōrinmaru!"

However, on the day the spiritual energy tide descended, humans only needed to face some first- and second-tier mutated creatures.

Although there are a large number of mutated creatures among them, such as mutated rats, they are not difficult for humans to deal with; or rather, if they were to infiltrate residential areas in a scattered manner and attack humans through sewers, ventilation ducts, or even cracks in walls, they would indeed cause huge casualties.

But perhaps driven by their mutated bloodlust, these rats chose the most foolish tactic: swarming into the streets in droves, forming a dark, overwhelming wave, hunting down every life they encountered head-on.

And this is precisely the main battlefield for human firepower.

On both sides of the street, members of the Tian Shu Bureau, dressed in protective suits, set up high-pressure flamethrowers. The blazing white flames, like the scythe of death, swept away the rats. The high temperature of thousands of degrees instantly burned the rats into charcoal, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

Wherever the flames passed, the rat swarm was burned into a charred "vacuum zone," but the rats behind still surged forward one after another, only to be turned to ashes in the wall of fire.

In the night sky, hundreds of armed drones form a hunting network, with their thermal imagers precisely locking onto each live target.

Machine gun fire, pinpoint elimination with micro-missiles, and even direct dive-bombing; the killing efficiency of the drone swarm is astonishing, and wherever it goes, mutated creatures fall in droves.

casualties?

Even when fully armed, these first- and second-tier mutated creatures were not enough to cause them any casualties.

Just like the Tian Shu Bureau in cities such as the capital, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Nanjing, which allowed Gu Che, Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, and other holders of the Heavenly Treasures with combat power and potential to act alone and eliminate mutated creatures;
In other cities, the Tian Shu Bureau also selectively allowed those they deemed to have potential to eliminate mutated creatures, either individually or in teams, to hone their skills.

"Hawkeye! Can't you aim properly before you shoot?"

"You're going to shoot it, not me!"

Zhang Yu rolled to the side, the arrow whistling past his ear before embedding itself in a lamppost behind him with a "thud," and he cursed behind him.

"fart!"

"I wasn't shooting at you at all. You just dodged, so you thought I was shooting at you. Actually, you didn't need to dodge at all!"

Chen Hao also shouted.

"You dead eagle eye, the arrow has already hit the lamppost, and you're still bragging."

"Can you do it? If not, give me the arrow and you go up and fight it."

Zhang Yu turned around and cursed, then immediately turned his head back. The mutated black bull, which was at least two meters tall, lowered its head and charged towards him. Zhang Yu also rushed forward and grabbed its horns tightly.

"Dead Hawkeye, if you miss again this time, I'll kill you after I take care of it!"

"My eyes are my ruler!"

Chen Hao snorted, then his eyes narrowed as he steadily raised the specially made composite crossbow, the tips of the bolts gleaming with a cold light; his breathing became steady, his heartbeat slowed, and the world became incredibly clear at that moment.

The extent of the mutated black bull's struggle, the angle at which Zhang Yu exerted his strength, and the speed of the night wind.
"Whoosh-!"

The crossbow bolt pierced the air, precisely passing through the gap under Zhang Yu's armpit and directly striking the black bull's temple, causing the mutated black bull's movements to visibly falter.
