Sōkyoku Hill, Underground Training Ground.
Deep within the rock forest, a fearsome monster stood.
His Reiatsu continuously surged forth as if without limit, seemingly reaching another level.
An unimaginably vast power poured into his body like an endless tide.
For a long time, Aozaki Reiji had been at the Shinigami's limit.
His slowly growing Reiatsu seemed to suddenly break through some restriction, beginning to elevate at an astonishing speed.
"It's still increasing..."
Aozaki Reiji calmly moved his hands.
He could feel his body trembling slightly.
An unobservable change was occurring, originating from the Hōgyoku and subtly affecting his body.
His Souls seemed to be awakening, and the form of his life also appeared to be undergoing a subtle transformation.
Aozaki Reiji suddenly lowered his eyes, looking at his chest.
There, a mysterious blue-purple pattern, like blood vessels, Faintly began to spread, gradually covering his entire body.
At the same time, his Reiatsu, Spirit Body, and all other aspects received an unprecedented boost.
Evidently, the Hōgyoku had successfully absorbed the Soul King's Right Arm!
"Power that feels like it could destroy anything with a flick of the wrist..."
"No wonder Aizen stopped using the 'Complete Hypnosis' trick after evolving to this stage."
"This power really makes one easily generate the illusion of 'invincibility'."
Aozaki Reiji muttered to himself, casually waving the sword in his hand.
Immediately, a surging Sword Pressure poured out, and the ground seemed to be ripped open by an invisible giant hand, instantly forming a huge chasm.
And as he spoke, his body began to change.
A milky white Reiatsu erupted from within him, like a volcanic eruption, instantly enveloping his entire being.
In the blink of an eye, Aozaki Reiji was clad in a milky white outer garment, his entire body tightly wrapped.
Only a pair of bright eyes were exposed, like a chrysalis during an insect's evolution.
However, something unexpected happened.
The next moment, Aozaki Reiji actually raised the hand holding the sword and unhesitatingly slammed the hilt hard against his own head.
With a muffled thud, The originally intact milky white Spiritual Robe suddenly became covered in fine cracks, which spread rapidly across his entire body like a spiderweb.
In just a few seconds, the entire Spiritual Robe completely shattered, turning into countless tiny particles that scattered with the wind, disappearing without a trace.
"Is it because of preconceived notions at play, causing me subconsciously to think of achieving an evolution like Aizen's?"
"It's a good thing I noticed the anomaly in time, otherwise, I might have evolved inhuman features!"
Aozaki Reiji found a mirror from somewhere and looked at his original appearance in the mirror, secretly feeling fortunate in his heart.
After careful observation and contemplation, he concluded:
Compared to Aizen, he seemed to not need to experience such a bizarre and terrifying transformation process.
Not only that, but all of his own abilities had already far surpassed the level a Shinigami should possess.
Only after personally witnessing his current physical condition and confirming that his appearance was unaffected did Aozaki Reiji breathe a sigh of relief.
The blue-purple vascular patterns that had covered his entire body gradually dissipated, eventually re-converging into the Hōgyoku.
However, in the very center of his chest, a few extremely inconspicuous vascular patterns remained, connected to the Hōgyoku, like a beating heart.
Aozaki Reiji genuinely felt an incomparably powerful Reiatsu surging, and his basic abilities in all aspects also experienced explosive growth.
Aozaki Reiji was very certain that his current life level had completely surpassed that of a Shinigami.
While silently familiarizing himself with his body, Aozaki Reiji concentrated, using his will to control the Hōgyoku to sink into his body and hide.
At the same time, his eyes shone with intense black light.
Immediately after, a completely transparent barrier appeared before him.
Super Pressure Barrier!
This was one of the abilities Aozaki Reiji gained after his evolution.
When he used this ability, his eyes would flash with mysterious black light.
Then, a completely transparent Reiatsu Wall would rapidly form around his body.
Any object that collided with this Reiatsu Wall would be instantly pulverized.
In the original timeline, Aizen once used this ability to pulverize the high-density Reiatsu entity "Kōtotsu" in the Dangai.
However, unlike Aizen, whose eyes flashed white light when he activated the ability, Aozaki Reiji's activation was clearly more subtle.
After all, his dark and deep eyes had always been widely admired.
He could only attribute this change to the influence of the Soul King's Right Arm.
However, the evolutionary effects after he absorbed the Soul King's Right Arm were far from limited to this.
He slightly turned his head, his eyes shining with dazzling black light, and his gaze fell on a corner of the training ground.
After a short while, a gentle breeze blew, and a small stone fell from the steep rock wall, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.
Aozaki Reiji, however, seemed completely indifferent to this, as if he had already foreseen it all.
He hadn't had Hime manipulate anything.
Brief future foresight!
This was the ability the Soul King's Right Arm brought him.
And the abilities of the Soul King's Right Arm were far more than this; this was just one of the abilities It brought to Aozaki Reiji.
The Soul King's Right Arm controlled the Soul King's power of "stasis."
It could allow Aozaki Reiji to remain in a certain specific state forever, never changing.
In other words, Aozaki Reiji's state at this moment could almost be called "eternal."
He felt the powerful force surging within him, a subtle smile appearing in his eyes, and an endless feeling of grandeur surged within him.
He even had an urge to imitate a certain legendary Immortal Venerable, shouting loudly: "Who can kill me? Who dares to kill me!"
However, when he thought that he might be ambushed for being too complacent, he immediately dismissed the idea.
"Speed, strength, defense, Reiatsu, and all other aspects have completely grown to another new dimension."
"Now, my strength has probably increased by more than just a little compared to before!"
After moving his body for a while, Aozaki Reiji clenched his fists with great satisfaction.
He could clearly feel that the improvement in his Spirit Body quality and Reiatsu was leaps and bounds.
The most crucial point was that his own limits had been successfully broken.
Judging from Aizen's evolution process, Aozaki Reiji believed he should currently be roughly in the third fusion state.
Next, Aozaki Reiji's power would enter a period of rapid growth.
This would continue until the power at this stage reached saturation, and only then would he smoothly enter the fourth fusion stage.
"It's about time to go back. If my Senior Brother wakes up and finds I'm not by his side, he might be corn
