"BOOM!!!!!"Suddenly, another giant explosion occurred in the distance and all eyes are turned to the source of it. This time it was a giant dome shaped explosion in the distance. When the sect masters turned their heads, all of them had similar grim expression. That direction, that mountain area. They knew that area too well. That"s the area where they stationed all their high level Spirit Profound Realm disciples and some of their elders. But seeing that explosion could mean only one thing.
As for Yun Che, he was slowly revealed a grin on his face.
"Tailed beast ball? Looks like she finished things on her end. It"s about time I finished mine as well." He said in his heart before looking at the sect masters.
"YOU MONSTER!!!! THIS TIME WE WILL KILL YOU WITH OUR OWN HANDS." The sect masters were really mad right now. The disciples and elders they lost just now were the pillars of the sect. If they died, it means the sect is now ruined. It"ll be a matter of time before their sect will be consumed by the New Moon Profound Palace.
"Monsters? Who is the real monster in this this matter? You wanted to annihilate the New Moon Profound Palace because of your selfish greed. Now, face the consequences."
"Originally, I used this snake when fighting larger opponents just like the beast tamer could conjure. Any large opponents in groups are suitable when fighting this snake but as for smaller opponents, it suffers a great disadvantage in terms of size. However, I decided to bring them out for a test run. Looks like there"s no more fooling around." Yun Che said in his heart before revealed a serious face while looking at them. This time, he will finish this instantly.
"Hmph, that snake might be large but as long as we coordinate our attacks, you will doom to fall anyway." The sect masters a.s.sumed battle stance but Yun Che simply looked at them without batting an eye.
"Hoo, then what if I make it smaller?" He said with a relaxed expression.
"Smaller? What do you mean….?"
"Well then." Yun Che slowly said as Hebi"s giant skeletal body suddenly glowing in red. The sect masters immediately see the process as a threat and launched a counter attack to prevent Yun Che from completing what he"s doing right now. If this brat is full of tricks and they will not sit by and watch him completed whatever it is.
The sect masters immediately launched all their profound arts towards him. From what they"ve learned, channeling techniques usually causing backlash the moment it is interrupted. If they could interrupt his process, then this kid will bound to fail. However, before the attacks could harm him. Suddenly, a burst of wind suddenly came out from his body and nullified all the attacks.
As for the sect masters. They were speechless once more. It"s not long before Yun Che shouted
"Saru, Hebi. Let"s test that form." in his heart.
"Hai!!!! Master, tear them apart." Saru and Hebi shouted excitedly from his inner world.
"Let"s go. BANKAI!!!!" All three of them shouted at the same time causing a cl.u.s.ter of wind and red energy started to form on Yun Che"s body. The wind created ma.s.sive cl.u.s.ter of wind just like his first bankai. He emerges once more from underneath the wind shocking the sect masters, elders as well as Little Fairy who observed him from a distance.
His giant snake was replaced with a smaller form of his bankai. This is Zabimaru"s true bankai form. In the manga bleach, Renji was given a false name just because Zabimaru didn"t recognized his strength. But as for Yun Che, he obtained the recognition of Saru and Hebi. At first he trained with their fake form but his mastery of the fake form was far too fast for someone like him. When he defeated them in a fight using the fake form, they finally entrust him their final name in exchange for his recognition to the spirits. This is where the seducing and their shenanigans come from.
The true form of Yun Che"s bankai takes on a more compact form that is predominately worn. On his right wrist, he gains a gauntlet resembling the top portion of a snake"s skull, with a cowl of red fur surrounding its base. This shows Zabimaru"s fang has been compressed into a form of blade but still retain the skull of the snake itself.
A long, skeletal tail composed of vertebrlike structures protrudes from the back of the skull, trails behind him and hangs around his waist like a loose sash. Yun Che also gains a large cowl of light fur that hangs down from his left shoulder. Additionally, he gains a pair of pauldrons that form an armored collar, as well as additional vertebral cords that hang down from his waist.
With the transformation done. Yun Che opened his eyes and swings his sword towards the sect masters. Just like Renji, he still remained in his shihakushou while being covered by his bankai state but still retains his raven shaped hair.
"Sōō Zabimaru (Twin Kings, Snake Tail)" Yun Che slowly said while his raven hair slowly floats in the air.
During his training with the spirits, they once offered him whether he wanted to replace the Hihio Zabimaru with his original bankai form. He didn"t want to replace them because the form was awesome to begin with. Where else can you find a skeletal snake can extend as far as the eye can see. Moreover, the form enables him to fight larger hollows, demon beast or surrounded by groups of beast. Hihio Zabimaru was perfect against these kind of situation. But, when it comes to smaller opponents like cultivators or humanoid hollows and beast, he decided to use this form for that situation. The reason he activated this bankai right now was to test its capabilities in the real world.
Jasmine was shocked in his inner world as well. She had her shock when Yun Che activated his Hihio Zabimaru. This is the first time she saw a skeletal snake in a form of a sword. She had her doubts at first whether this bankai can fight against a group of cultivators. But right now, he compressed that sword into a smaller version just like an armor on his body. She knew that this bankai can alter between two forms depending on the occurred situation.
"Finally, the three of us together again. It"s been a while since the both of us are on the master"s body." Saru shouted from his body.
Hebi was excited as well and said "Hai, master didn"t use the full bankai for a while now. But this is the first time he used it in the real world."
"It"s not like I didn"t want to. You know that full powered bankai can"t actually be used in the Jinzen. The form we used in there just for the sake of training." Yun Che explained to them.
"Ehee, just promised to use us every now and then. Master." Hebi said playfully,
"You make it sound weird though, But sure. Now, let"s get back to the fight." Yun Che dismissed them and opened his eyes again.
"Now that I made it smaller, will this suffice to fight with the lot of you?" Yun Che questions the gaping sect masters.
"You, who in the world are you?" Various questions came from the opponents around him. What kind of treasure of skill allow the beast to fuse completely with their master?
"Me? I am just a wandering cultivator." Yun Che simply shrugged his shoulders at them.
"You…. Have all our elders attack him at once. That form might be small but it cannot handle the attacks of all the elders. Attack him before…" Before he could finish, Yun Che was already gone towards the group of elders in the distance. He had this habit from his previous world. Despite being the strongest from his previous world, he always had this habit when he fights. He always destroys the smaller ones before facing the big ones. This is to avoid loose ends or the big ones used them as nourishment.
He appeared immediately before them and the elders started to attack him reckless. Various attacks from the Earth Profound Realm elders suddenly came to him and he effortlessly avoided all attacks. Yun Che immediately jumped to the middle of the elders and ...…
"Orochio (Great Snake King)" With that, Yun Che"s right hand skull sword transformed into a larger, serrated form compared to the original one.
His vertebrae structure of his body unfurls from around his waist and extends like a tail. He modified the tail to have a hidden blade in the tip of the tail. With his full force, he swings the tail towards the elders and.....
*SLASH!!!!
The elders didn"t even react when the tail and his sword sliced them apart in one swift motion.
"Stay away from the tail… Sta…." Multiple screams are being heard as Yun Che ignored the pleas from the elders and just continued to chip them off one by one using Hebi"s tail. The rest of the elders feeling he was too strong for them to handle and move towards the sect masters.
"You…. Why are you bullying us like this?" One of elders asked him.
"The same can be said to you. Why are you vending on destroying the palace? Is what that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Wu Nie worth much more than anything? If I weren"t here. The palace will cease to exist after tonight and all will be lost. You form an alliance to seven sects to destroy just one. Now. How do you feel when that one palace is bullying the seven of you right now?" Yun Che said while swinging his tail and sword towards them. After seeing the capabilities of that sword, the seven sect knew that sword was an absolute treasure he obtained somewhere. If not, how can a mid-stage Earth Profound Realm warrior suppress them like this.
"You…This is unfair… Why did the heavens favor you so much? Why do you have this kind of power? This is unfair. This is really unfair." Xiao Tiannan gritted his teeth seeing Yun Che"s power. He had to struggle in his life just to get to his current position. But, seeing Yun Che"s power almost make him puke blood.
With a boring expression, he said "No more fooling around. From this day onward, all of you will cease to exist. It"s been fun knowing you old fools."
"You, DIE!!!" Sect master Xue immediately fire a fire blast towards Yun Che.
"Wait, Don"t" Xiao Tiannan wanted to pull him away but he was too far away and he could only watch as Sect master Xue rushed to his death.
"Hmph, fool." Yun Che said while slowly transforming his cowl. The cowl suddenly forms into a large skeletal arm. And punch towards sect master Xue"s profound art.
"Hihio (Baboon King)" The arm immediately destroys the art before moving towards sect master Xue.
Splattt!!!
With that, blood immediately splattered to all direction as the punch immediately killed and destroys his body.
[Ding. Congratulation on killing a mid-stage Earth Profound Realm pract.i.tioner. Experience points +…..]
"Holy h.e.l.l, just one punch?" Yun Che looked at his giant cowl skeletal arm. From what the spirits told him. Hihio was basically a giant fist skeletal baboon"s fist. However, that fist was enough to destroy anyone with one punch. He was still new to this mode so all he can do just punch the h.e.l.l out of them.
Everyone stand in gaping once more seeing sect master Xue from the Burning Heaven Clan instantly died just like that. Now some of them actually felt fear coming from the bottom of their heart seeing Yun Che"s absolute strength. With that, Yun Che spared no effort in destroying all of them in one swift motion. One by one, the elders and sect masters put up a desperate fight against his bankai form. The elders all died from either by his skeletal punch or being stabbed by the tail.
Lastly, the only one who were left are the six remaining sect masters. With eyes of fear, they tried to talk to him into letting them go.
"Yun Che, we can settle this peacefully. We promised we won"t cause the palace anymore trouble. If you spare us, we will spare no effort in helping the palace." The rest of them simply nods at him. Right now, their lives are far more important than some matter.
"Sorry, I am the type of not letting everything go that easily. Besides, how could I resist the temptation of experience points in front of me." Yun Che looked at them just like a piece of meat on the table. With experience points like this, there"s no way he"s letting them go just like that.
"You, why?"
"You sealed your fates the moment you decided to destroy the palace. Personally, I don"t care what happen to the palace but my brother in law and future wife is in there so I can"t let you kill them right?" As Yun Che said that, the sect masters didn"t expect him to annihilate the seven sects just to protect his brother in law and his future wife.
"You, everyone just spread into different directions. He can"t chase all of us at the same time." With that the sect master all separate into different direction but before they could get far.
"Where do think you"re going? Rikujokorou." All of sudden, six binding rods appeared on the bodies of the sect masters, preventing them from escape. However, before they could react. They heard Yun Che"s voice shouting another foreign language.
"Sajo Sabaku." Another spell appeared on their body. This time, six golden chains suddenly shot from Yun Che arm towards the sect masters. In an instant, he dragged them back in front of him.
"No please. Spare our lowly lives." The sect masters tried to beg him but he turned a blind ear and face Xiao Tiannan instead.
"Too late, if I let you go. Who knows what kind of trouble you are going to cause me in the future."
Yun Che suddenly stabbed his right hand blade onto Xiao Tiannan who was in front of him.
"Who are you??" Xiao Tiannan looked at Yun Che with eyes full of anger. But deep in his heart, he wanted to know the real Yun Che before he died in his hand.
"Hmph, remember this well. I am Yun Che, a Soul Reaper." Yun Che immediately clenched his fist and forming a jaw of spiritual energy behind him.
"Soul Reaper?" Xiao Tiannan widen his eyes with the look of disbelief after hearing that. Before he could ask more he heard Yun Che muttered another phrase. Possibly the last phrase he hears before begin his journey to the afterlife.
"Sōō Zabimaru, Zaga Teppō (Twin Kings Snake Tail, Snake Fang Iron Gun)" Yun Che slowly said before the jaws close down on the enemy, forming the visage of a large, serpentine skull, crushing them with its fangs. With that, the sect masters are being impaled by the jaw before he simultaneously fired a spiritual blast towards the impaled sect masters.
The blast was so large and it instantly annihilates the sect masters and reducing them all to dust. Thus, ending the fight with a grand finale.
Wu Nie wanted to get away but suddenly he felt a ma.s.sive pain from his stomach. When he saw what happened, he saw the bone tail pierced him. While being pierced, he was lift up slowly to the sky to Yun Che"s front.
"You have cause too much trouble already. Thought you can get away huh?"
"You, Urrrgghh. If I die, our clan will hunt you down." He cough up blood while talking. He simply shrugged him aside.
"*Sigh, this again. Then, remember this one. After I annihilate your clan, I will annihilate the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region as well. Well, you are not alive to see this one happened." With that, Yun Che pulled his tailed before shooting the Zaga Teppo destroying his body as well.

Since he killed so many Earth Profound Realm pract.i.tioners. The experience points stack up and he broke through five times. Thus, officially entered Level 60 Grand Perfection Level of the Earth Profound Realm.
"d.a.m.n, one more level. I was hoping to enter Sky Profound Realm and obtain Hyourinmaru though. Dang it." He sighs once he saw the gap between Sky Profound Realm first level and his current level. Looks like he needed more than his current opponents to close it.

[Ding… Reward: One wisdom cube]
"h.e.l.l yeah, another wisdom cube. I have enough for another summon. Can"t wait to get myself another one." He said in his heart while suppressing his excitement. He had three wisdom cube so far and still having trouble obtaining the last one. But right now, another one suddenly popped out of nowhere and he didn"t even expect it.
He closed his stats windows and he could feel a presence behind him. When he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman with silver hair clad with blue robe standing next to him.
"Little Fairy?"
"Hmph, took you a while to finish them."
"Hey, it was my first time using this form though. So I have a slight trouble finishing up in an instant." Yun Che was still in his Sōō Zabimaru form. Little Fairy observe his body from head to toe earning a glance from Yun Che.
"Hooo, are you really curious about my body that much? How about we find somewhere quiet so you can see more?" He said with a grin on his face.
"You"re asking for a beating?" She shot him with an angry look and pointed up her fist. Yun Che simply grins at her antics. Even if he made that kind of joke, Little Fairy didn"t seem to be fl.u.s.tered as she was before. She was used to his teasing. All of a sudden, she felt an abnormal presence started to make way towards. She felt as if she was pierced by killing intend and didn"t felt secure at all.
It wasn"t long until another figure started to appear next to them. However, this figure started to give Little Fairy a scare once she appeared. The figure was none other than Retsu. She removes her visored mode and a.s.sume her normal form once more. However, she didn"t undo her bankai before coming here.
"Young master, I finally finished the quest you gave me." Retsu standing in front of him while holding her short sword. She was still holding her transformed blade and emitting her bankai aura.
"That"s my Retsu and you broke through?" Yun Che said while petting her head affectionately earning a happy smile from her. When he observe her stats, she broken through from the fifth level of the Spirit Profound Realm to the Third Level of the Earth Profound Realm. She killed more than two hundred plus opponents in one go. That"s why she broke through so fast.
"Sister Retsu, this is?" Little Fairy suddenly ask while observing her current aura and sword. It looked different from her usual sword and her aura was devoid from her usual innocent aura. She felt like she was a demon with a powerful killing aura but her expression still maintains her sweet and beautiful face.
"We"ll explain later, I know you had some questions about us and we"ll explain this later." Yun Che simply said to her while removing his bankai followed by Retsu. Looks like he needed to come up with some story to convince her about the bankais. He couldn"t tell her about Shinigamis and Zanpakutos just yet.
Yun Che and the others were about to fly away until they heard a voice from the distance.
"Yun Che!!!!" He knew that voice well. The voice was none other than Cang Yue who was riding her white eagle. Looks like she was really worried when Yun Che took off along with the rest of the sect masters with him.
"Cang Yue? Why are you here?"
"I want to take you away from here. Let"s go before the sect masters find you." Cang Yue replied with a panic tone while trying to drag his hand but he didn"t even bulge and she looked at him while being confuse.
"Oh, you don"t need to worry about that, that matter is taken care off." Yun Che shrugged his shoulders.
"Eh, where are they?"
Yun Che didn"t say anything but simply point to the large crater nearby causing Cang Yue was filled with shock once more. It means the sect master was annihilated by Yun Che. Then, how strong is he really?
"Since you"re here, where"s Yuanba?" He asked her. She immediately calmed down and making her conclusion. "No wonder Junior brother Xia is staying with the headmaster. He said he is not ready to go to the outside world just yet. He simply said just trust you when I asked him to come with me. Looks like I was worried for nothing." Cang Yue sighs.
"Haha, he was right though. Retsu and I are really fine right now."
"So are you returning to the palace?"
"No, we had our share of time there and its time for us to go."
Cang Yue was quiet for a moment but she mustered her courage to ask him anyway. "Yun Che, you said you wanted to represent the Royal Family right?"
"Yes, we did promised. Why?"
"Then, can you take me with you? Just until we reach the Imperial City." She said while twiddling her fingers fearing that he will say no.
"Sure why not, but you have remember this isn"t a safe trip." Yun Che warned her again. But he really wanted to take her just like the real story. She"ll be safe rather than in the palace.
"Don"t worry, I can protect myself."
"Well, its still not enough when we go to that place but we will boost your cultivation along the way." Yun Che said giving her a thumbs up.
"Then, I"ll be in your care." She said earning a nod from Retsu and Little Fairy. Little Fairy was friends with Cang Yue and she didn"t mind protect her if she needs it.
Then, all of them boarded Cang Yue"s white eagle and depart to their next destination.
