Death: Captain Millennium

A cold wind whistled through the Zaraki District like a sharp blade, sweeping up countless tiny spirit particles that flew wildly in the air.

Lin Yu stood quietly there, his hanging cuffs trembling slightly in the strong wind, like a candle in the wind, which could be blown out at any time.

His gaze remained firmly fixed on the figure in front of him who was preparing to attack—Yhwach.

At this moment, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in his heart. In the battle he had just fought with the four ancestors, he had desperately forced all his spiritual power to move forward. Although he ultimately won, he also suffered a hidden injury.

When he used his spiritual power again, the familiar fishy-sweet taste began to slowly rise from his throat, like a long-dormant beast gradually waking up.

"Breaking Path No. 63: Thunder Roar Cannon!"

A dazzling golden lightning suddenly burst out from Lin Yu's palm.

The lightning was like a roaring dragon, rushing towards Yhwach with the power to destroy the world.

Just as the Thunder Roar Cannon was about to hit Yhwach, a sudden sharp pain came from the spiritual meridian of Lin Yu's right arm. The pain was like tearing his soul apart, making it almost unbearable for him.

The lightning that was supposed to head straight for Yhwach's chest actually deviated and was only three inches away from hitting the target.

The powerful thunder struck Yhwach's feet heavily, creating a bottomless charred pit that emitted thick smoke.

The flying dust spread out, enveloping the entire battlefield. Through this hazy mist, one could see Yhwach's blood-red pupils suddenly shrink to the size of a needle, clearly shocked by the scene before him.

"I see……"

Yhwach slowly reached out his hand and gently wiped away the bloody mark on his cheek caused by the gravel.

The black cloak on his body made a loud noise under the surging spiritual pressure.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Yu, and the pattern of the holy letter "A" on his forehead began to appear faintly.

Faced with this difficult situation, Yhwach has decided to forcibly use his omniscience and omnipotence, which he has not yet fully recovered.

As the power surged, his vision instantly penetrated the seemingly calm appearance of the captain of the Soul Society and saw the truth hidden deep inside.

At this time, although Lin Yu still had a sarcastic smile on his face, his situation was actually not optimistic.

Just now in the fierce battle with the four ancestors, he had to forcibly activate his Bankai to deal with the powerful enemy.

However, the consequence of doing so was that the three old wounds in his body that had been sealed for a long time were like awakened demons, madly devouring his precious spiritual power.

Despite this, Lin Yu still gritted his teeth and persevered. He leaned forward slightly, pretending to be ready to attack again at any time, trying to confuse his opponent.

At the same time, his left hand hidden behind his back was not idle either, but he made an extremely secret binding hand seal at an extremely fast speed.

The captains watching the battle also noticed something unusual. Strands of black and red flocs had been mixed into the purple-gold spiritual pressure surrounding Lin Yu.

Unohana Retsu gripped the hilt of her Zanpakutō tightly. As a master of Kaido, she knew better than anyone what those flocs meant.

"Lord Captain!"

Kotetsu Yuune was about to step forward when Unohana raised her hand to stop him. Dark red blood oozed from Unohana Retsu's fingers—she had unconsciously crushed the blade.

At this extremely tense moment, the originally noisy battlefield suddenly fell into silence.

A suffocatingly powerful spiritual pressure suddenly exploded from the center of the battlefield like a volcanic eruption, ruthlessly interrupting everyone's thoughts in an instant.

"Holy!"

Yhwach's tall figure stood proudly in mid-air, his cold and ruthless eyes scanning the surroundings.

The remnants of the Stern Cross Knights who were summoned here by him with mysterious power suddenly let out shrill wails, and their bodies turned into surging torrents of spiritual power in the blink of an eye, rushing towards Yhwach madly.

The energy contained in this violent torrent of spiritual power was so astonishing that even the buildings in the entire Zeraki district could not withstand its impact.

A deafening roar sounded, and buildings collapsed one after another, turning into countless rubble and debris flying everywhere.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the once bustling streets turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, even time and space seemed to be distorted by Yhwach's earth-shattering and soul-stirring roar.

"Great Holy Bow!"

Yhwach waved his hand, and the Lingzi bow appeared behind him, and the sacred arrow of destruction shot straight at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu secretly groaned in his heart. Just when he was about to dodge, he felt a sudden piercing pain in the spiritual meridian of his right leg.

With a crisp "crack" sound, his spiritual meridians were actually broken apart.

Because his spiritual meridians were damaged, Lin Yu staggered and nearly fell to the ground. At the critical moment, he tried his best to dodge to the side and finally managed to avoid the arrow that was whistling and burning with blazing black flames.

However, the power of this arrow was too strong. Although it only brushed past Lin Yu's neck, it still tore a long and narrow crack in the void that was sparkling with starlight.

"Lin Yu, it looks like you're the one who's going to die today, not me!"

Yhwach's bone-chilling voice once again reached Lin Yu's ears, as creepy as a death spell.

At this time, Lin Yu's face was as pale as paper. He reached out to wipe the bright red blood that kept flowing out from the corner of his mouth. If he continued like this, he would really be in trouble. He gritted his teeth and finally unsheathed the Zanpakuto in his hand.

"Purple Palace, Tianshu!"

"Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, slay the demon!"

Lin Yuqiang endured the injury and used the Big Dipper Demon Subduing Formation again. The Big Dipper in the sky of Soul Society hummed and rained down starlight.

"Is this the trick again?"

Yhwach immediately sensed something was wrong. Although Lin Yu was injured and no longer in top form, this move wasn't so easy to counter. He had personally witnessed the four great ancestors being nearly killed by this move. To save his life, he tore through space and escaped! Escaped!!!

The Big Dipper dissipated, and Lin Yu knelt on one knee, his Zanpakuto deeply inserted into the ground. Black and red flocs spread upward along the blood vessels in his neck, moving under his skin as if they had life.

"Block the news immediately."

Lin Yu's voice remained steady, but the veins on the back of his hand gripping the hilt bulged. "Notify Squad 12... to fully monitor the fluctuations in the Broken Realm..."

Lin Yu closed his eyes. Within the range of his spiritual pressure perception, strange starlight lit up at the same time in the 13th Division headquarters, the Palace of Confession, and even the basement of the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy. The hidden injuries running rampant in his body were dragging his consciousness into the dark abyss.
