"Sōsuke, you have increased your strength once again."
"I still can't hide it from Professor."
Sōsuke Aizen's Spiritual Pressure had already reached the limit of a Shinigami, but he had never revealed it to the outside world.
However, Professor saw through his reality at a glance.
"Come with me to Hueco Mundo. It is time to let you see the power beyond limits."
Sora chuckled softly.
"Power beyond limits?!"
Sōsuke Aizen was shocked. He thought that after years of hard work, he had caught up with Professor's footsteps. It turned out that Professor seemed to have already broken the limit that he still couldn't cross.
A moment later, the two arrived at the Forest of Menos through the Garganta.
The howling sounds that originally came frequently from the depths of the rocky forest all stopped abruptly.
After Sora and Sōsuke Aizen arrived at the Forest of Menos, they didn't deliberately restrain their Spiritual Pressure.
Terrifying Spiritual Pressure radiated out. The Menos Grande in the rocky forest, as if choked by invisible hands, dared not move or make a single sound.
"Professor, your Spiritual Pressure doesn't seem to have reached a higher level."
Sōsuke Aizen sensed Professor's Spiritual Pressure and found that it hadn't broken through the boundary to enter another level, but was at the same level as his own.
"After obtaining the Hōgyoku, you should have tried Hollowfication, right?"
"Of course."
Sōsuke Aizen nodded.
He had come into contact with the Hōgyoku and conducted Hollowfication experiments, so he naturally knew the details of Hollowfication.
"Does the breakthrough Professor mentioned refer to Hollowfication?"
Sōsuke Aizen knew that Professor had also mastered Hollowfication.
Although Sōsuke Aizen couldn't directly participate in the Wandenreich war because the shadow passage was destroyed, he learned about it afterwards from other Captains who participated in the war.
"But this level of Hollow power is not enough to let me break the limit."
A white mask condensed on Sōsuke Aizen's face.
Although he hadn't made up his mind to fuse with the Hōgyoku, he used the Hōgyoku's power to master Hollowfication.
However, this degree of Hollowfication couldn't let him break the Shinigami limit.
After Hollowfication, Sōsuke Aizen's Spiritual Pressure didn't change much; it just had an added aura of a Hollow.
"You are right. This degree of Hollowfication is indeed not enough to let you break the limit."
As soon as Sora finished speaking, an extremely powerful fluctuation of Hollow Spiritual Pressure suddenly surged from his body.
Subsequently, sharp horns with three forks, like frozen lightning, grew on both sides of his forehead.
The whites of his eyes were dyed black, and his original black pupils turned white.
After entering the Hollowfication state, Sora didn't have a mask!
"Did Professor restrain his Spiritual Pressure?" Sōsuke Aizen quickly denied his guess and revealed an expression of disbelief. "No, Hollowfication is a state that can only be entered by releasing Spiritual Pressure..."
"Professor has already surpassed the limit of a Shinigami... He is no longer in the same dimension as me, who is still within the scope of the Shinigami limit!" Sōsuke Aizen said with a rasp in his voice.
"That's right. This is the power that transcends the Shinigami limit." Sora nodded gently.
"Then how did Professor do it?" Sōsuke Aizen recalled the powerful Hollow power that surged from Professor's body just now and quickly understood the key. "The Hollow power you mastered has also reached the limit!"
"That is the difference between my Hollowfication and yours. The Hollow power in your body is induced by the Hōgyoku. It is still far from the limit of a Hollow. The amplification after Hollowfication is not enough to let you break the Shinigami limit." Sora explained.
"So that's it... Professor, can you let me personally experience the power of breaking the limit?"
Even though Sōsuke Aizen already understood that he and Professor were in different dimensions, he still wanted to personally experience such power.
"Come." Sora nodded.
As soon as the words fell, Sōsuke Aizen drew his sword instantly.
In an instant, the blade attacked in front of Sora.
However, the way Professor received this full-force slash exceeded his expectations.
Sora extended a finger and steadily blocked 'Kyōka Suigetsu'.
Sōsuke Aizen's eyes narrowed. His strength and Professor's were indeed not in the same dimension.
"'Kyōka Suigetsu' is ineffective against Professor..."
When Sōsuke Aizen swung his sword just now, he simultaneously used the ability of 'Kyōka Suigetsu' to interfere with Professor. As a result, Professor was not affected by 'Kyōka Suigetsu' at all and caught the blade unbiasedly.
"Use the move you are most proficient in." Sora suggested.
Sōsuke Aizen used Shunpo to get more than ten meters away and raised his hand pointing to the sky:
"Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy..."
"Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi!"
'Kurohitsugi' was one of the Hadō Sōsuke Aizen was most proficient in, but he rarely released 'Kurohitsugi' with a full incantation.
Because even a Captain-class combatant would find it difficult to withstand the 'Kurohitsugi' he released by abandoning the incantation.
And now, he released 'Kurohitsugi' with a full incantation, pushing the power of 'Kurohitsugi' to the extreme.
Pitch-black matter rising from the ground stacked layer upon layer, quickly wrapping Sora inside.
A huge pitch-black coffin rose from the ground in the Forest of Menos.
In the next moment, Sōsuke Aizen saw a hand piercing out from the pitch-black coffin.
Crack—
Then, this huge pitch-black coffin was crushed by that hand.
"Even 'Kurohitsugi' can't have any effect..."
Sōsuke Aizen murmured.
"There is one more move, but I haven't used it since mastering it."
Sōsuke Aizen continued to raise his hand and chant. When he started chanting, the terrifying Spiritual Pressure emitted cracked the ground open.
Rumble—
Something seemed to be rolling underground.
"Hadō #99..."
Five huge purple dragons lifted the ground and extended their heads from underground.
"Goryūtenmetsu!"
The five huge purple dragons attacked Sora simultaneously.
"Is this your full power, Sōsuke?" Sora raised his hand calmly as always. "But it still belongs to a move within the dimension of the Shinigami limit."
Sora grabbed the head of one of the purple dragons and smashed it towards the other four dragons. The five huge dragons disintegrated into Reishi and vanished without a trace.
This Hadō, which destroyed a large area, was snuffed out by Sora effortlessly!
After entering the Hollowfication state, he had already reached the level of a Transcendent. He was no longer in the same dimension as Sōsuke Aizen, who was still within the range of the Shinigami limit.
Even if Sōsuke Aizen tried his best, he couldn't break through Sora's Spiritual Pressure and Hierro.
"So this is the power beyond the limit..." Sōsuke Aizen withdrew his Zanpakutō and sighed. "It's like the gap between an ordinary human and me—an insurmountable gap!"
Sōsuke Aizen once again saw the gap between himself and Professor.
There was absolutely no possibility of winning.
