NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 29: CHAPTER 29
The Reiatsu beam of light shattered.
Ji Lujie walked out of it slowly.
Compared to his previous human form, Ji Lujie's appearance and aura had undergone tremendous changes.
His spiritual power now concentrated on a gauntlet bearing the Quincy cross insignia, forming a spiritual light cone capped with a circle and a short cross—an iconic Quincy symbol.
The western sword in his hand had merged directly into his body. The tip of the blade absorbed spirit particles from the environment, greatly enhancing its offensive power.
Moreover, Ji Lujie could now move short distances with sudden, high-speed bursts—akin to explosive propulsion rather than traditional flight.
It was an overwhelming acceleration, pushing his speed to terrifying extremes in an instant.
However, such movement inflicted intense stress on the body, making it unsustainable for long durations.
Above Ji Lujie's head, a radiant halo emblazoned with the Quincy cross hovered. His pupils mutated into concentric rings. Wings, shoulder guards, wristbands, and short boots made of pure Reishi enveloped his form.
Two rows of jagged, rectangular teeth had replaced his mouth. Gigantic eyes sprouted across the Reishi wings on his back. His left arm had swollen grotesquely in size, and a coiled white python loomed behind him.
This transformation was completely inhuman.
It resembled something hollow. Something... void.
"Another Arrancar?" he scoffed.
Ji Lujie cast a contemptuous glance toward the voice, his tone dripping with disdain.
The speaker: a man with glasses, short pink hair, and striking golden eyes.
He wore a form-fitting version of the Espada's distinctive battle uniform, exuding an air of grace and calculation.
It was Szayelaporro Granz, the Octava Espada of Las Noches.
But that didn't matter.
In this fully released form, Ji Lujie believed himself invincible.
Neither Espadas nor that mixed-blood Quincy brat meant anything. They were just ants—waiting to be crushed.
"If I said I just happened to pass by, would either of you Quincies believe me?" Szayelaporro asked, gently adjusting his pink-framed glasses. He casually brushed his sideburns behind his ear—a habitual gesture.
"Doesn't matter," Ji Lujie replied flatly. "Neither you nor that brat is leaving this place alive."
He stretched out five fingers with confidence.
Strands of spiritual light began flowing from his fingertips.
They twined, flickered, and then launched toward Szayelaporro.
This was Ji Lujie's Schrift ability—"P" for "Prison."
It allowed him to form a spiritual cage capable of immobilizing enemies. The trap created by the Reishi bands sealed all exits—specifically the openings to and from Garganta, the interdimensional gate.
Though those trapped inside could receive external transmissions through communication tools, they couldn't send anything out.
In other words, once caught within the Prison, the opponent's fighting capability was completely neutralized.
Just because he couldn't use Prison on Kanbaru didn't mean Szayelaporro was immune.
"Well, I'll humor you then," Szayelaporro shrugged, making no attempt to resist as the cage enclosed him.
Instead, he stared at Ji Lujie with piqued curiosity.
He hadn't expected to stumble into an internal conflict between Quincies, but it looked like it would yield a fascinating array of data.
Still... this form…
Similar to a Shinigami's Bankai... or an Arrancar's Resurrección?
Szayelaporro narrowed his eyes thoughtfully at Ji Lujie's mutated form.
"Brat, it's over."
Ji Lujie launched forward with blinding speed.
In his fully awakened Vollständig state, his physical strength had risen to monstrous levels.
Then—
He swung his spirit-enhanced western sword down in a decisive slash.
Direct hit!
Ji Lujie's pupils flickered. He had clearly felt contact—his strike had landed on Kanbaru. In fact, at the very last moment, it seemed as if Kanbaru had dropped his defenses voluntarily.
"Did you surrender because you realized the gap in Reiatsu was too overwhelming?"
"A wise, if pathetic, choice," Ji Lujie sneered, unwilling to give his opponent even a moment to recover. He immediately activated the pinnacle of his Quincy technique in his Vollständig form—
"Sklaverei."
A faint blue glow enveloped his body and hands.
This ability was exclusive to the purest Vollständig users of the Wandenreich—by maximizing "spirit particle collection," Ji Lujie entered a realm of total spiritual dominance.
In this state, Ji Lujie could absorb Reishi from both the environment and living beings.
Even biological limbs could be incorporated into his body, fusing with his structure to increase his power.
Living creatures absorbed through this process would suffer excruciating pain.
In extreme cases, their flesh would be sucked clean, resulting in instant death.
Even an Adjuchas-class Arrancar would be unable to last long against it!
As a massive surge of Reiatsu funneled into Ji Lujie, his eyes gleamed with ecstasy.
"Despair. Regret. Die in agony," he whispered coldly, feeling his own power skyrocket.
The sanctification process was always painful.
But it was worth it—because that troublesome brat was finally dead.
Next, the two Arrancars.
A twisted grin began to form—but as he turned around, his expression changed.
Reiatsu—was still flowing in.
Impossible!
This amount of spiritual pressure surpassed even that of top-tier captains!
Why hadn't that brat died yet?!
Ji Lujie spun around, staring wide-eyed at the unstable zone of hyperactive Reishi.
Then—
A shockwave of Reiatsu burst forth that froze Ji Lujie in place.
"This can't be!"
"This level of spiritual pressure—!"
"He's just a low-ranking, mixed-blood Quincy!"
Yet the flow of Reiatsu from Kanbaru showed no signs of slowing.
There was no joy left in Ji Lujie's face.
Only pain and horror.
His body—was beginning to rupture.
The amount of Reiatsu he was absorbing from Kurosaki Kanbaru had already exceeded his carrying capacity.
What did that mean?
It meant that Kurosaki Kanbaru's spiritual pressure utterly crushed his own!
Even though Kanbaru was "mixed-blood trash," his Reiatsu surpassed the highest-tier powers of the Wandenreich!
"Are you kidding me?!"
Ji Lujie roared, his eyes bloodshot, fixated on the origin of that terrible energy.
As if—waiting for a monster to emerge from within it.
