When the ice sculpture sealing Ichigo's body began to crack, an extremely dangerous spiritual pressure aura emanated from within the ice sculpture.
Seeing this, Rukia immediately drew Sode no Shirayuki, which she had just sheathed back at her waist, and looked at the ice sculpture with a solemn expression, as the cracks had completely spread.
In the next moment, the ice crystals outside the ice sculpture shattered instantly, and these ice crystals shot out in all directions at an extremely fast speed, and the powerful force easily pierced through the walls of the palace.
Rukia dodged most of the ice crystals that were shooting towards her location, but when there was an ice crystal that she couldn't dodge, she could only raise the Zanpakutō in her hand and use the side of the blade to block it.
However, what she didn't expect was that she was directly knocked away by this small ice crystal, and even her body smashed through the walls of the palace.
Rukia, who had been knocked out of the palace, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and then heard a roar similar to an elephant's cry coming from inside the palace.
Then, a humanoid black shadow, of which she could only barely see the outline of a bull's head, directly passed through the top of the palace and flew towards the battlefield outside Las Noches.
Rukia was shocked, and immediately re-entered the palace to look for Ichigo, but found that she could no longer find his trace.
"Was that shadow just now Ichigo? Why did I feel a Hollow's spiritual pressure from him, and it even surpassed all the Vastolorde I know?" Rukia was very puzzled in her heart.
Unable to stop worrying about Ichigo, Rukia didn't care too much, and immediately rushed in the direction of the black shadow's flight, wanting to find out why such an astonishing change had occurred in Ichigo.
At this time, the true power of Hollow Ichigo within Ichigo's body was released by Kisuke Urahara through special means, and the powerful spiritual pressure aura emanating from his body attracted the attention of everyone within Las Noches.
Facing Kisuke Urahara, Barragan asked Kisuke Urahara with a solemn expression: "What exactly did you just do? To whom does that spiritual pressure that is rapidly approaching here belong?"
Kisuke Urahara had a smile of victory on his face: "This is a Hollow invented by a very respected enemy of mine. I believe its power can redefine the level of the Great Hollow."
As one of the three great scientists of the Shinigami world, Kisuke Urahara discovered the power hidden within Hollow Ichigo in Ichigo's body during his special training for Ichigo. This power made him feel that it was not inferior to the Hōgyoku that could make him feel fear.
Kisuke Urahara was very certain that as long as he could stimulate this power for Ichigo, then he could create a top-level combat power that was enough to reach or even surpass Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai.
After discovering this, Kisuke Urahara applied to Yamamoto Genryūsai to enter the Great Spirit Book Repository to find some secret scientific data, and was approved by Yamamoto Genryūsai.
Under normal circumstances, the Great Spirit Book Repository would never allow anyone to enter.
However, now that the Central 46, which had been slaughtered by Aizen, was being reorganized, and temporarily no longer had the ability to restrict the Gotei 13, and was also facing a war that would determine the life and death of the Seireitei, Yamamoto Genryūsai released this permission.
Soon, Kisuke Urahara found the knowledge he wanted in the Great Spirit Book Repository, and with his own scientific research ability and the resources of the entire Research and Development Department, he successfully found the spiritual pressure frequency that could awaken the Bull-Head Hollow Ichigo in Ichigo's body and guide the Bull-Head Hollow Ichigo to execute his orders.
And this was precisely the reason why Kisuke Urahara was full of confidence in this war!
Originally, Kisuke Urahara planned to guide the power of the Bull-Head Hollow when both sides were fighting to the point of being white-hot, giving Las Noches a killing blow and determining the victory or defeat of the war.
However, what he didn't expect was that the battle was not able to enter the white-hot stage, but the situation completely tilted to one side towards Las Noches, and the captains of the Gotei 13 were simply unable to resist the Espada who had fused with the Hōgyoku.
Under this situation, Kisuke Urahara had no choice but to awaken the Bull-Head Hollow in advance to help the Gotei 13 reverse the situation.
"However, the power of this Hollow in Ichigo's body is even more terrifying than I imagined. It's even stronger than the spiritual pressure displayed by Uchiha Yūsuke and the Captain-Commander during the Sōkyoku Hill battle. It seems that the victory or defeat here is beyond doubt!" Kisuke Urahara thought to himself.
He didn't think that the Hollow in Ichigo's body would definitely be able to defeat Yūsuke or Yamamoto Genryūsai, but at least the spiritual pressure had reached the same level.
Under the crushing of this realm, the Las Noches battlefield, without Yūsuke and Yamamoto Genryūsai present, would also be controlled by him.
As long as Yamamoto Genryūsai defeated Yūsuke again, then this war between the Seireitei and Las Noches would end with the complete victory of the Seireitei!
Ulquiorra, who had been on standby outside the battlefield, also sensed that the Bull-Head Ichigo was rapidly approaching, and that unfathomable spiritual pressure gave him a sense of palpitation.
However, since he had been entrusted with an important task by Yūsuke, he did not hesitate to take the initiative to meet him, along with his Fracción, Yammy.
At this time, Yoruichi, who was fighting Mayuri Kurotsuchi in Las Noches, also felt the aura of the Bull-Head Ichigo, and couldn't help but worry about Ichigo in her heart.
"Alas, he really used the power in Ichigo's body after all. I just hope that Ichigo can still return to his original state afterwards."
Yoruichi knew about Kisuke Urahara's research, and also knew that Kisuke Urahara currently only knew how to guide the power of the Hollow in Ichigo's body, but could not confirm what would happen to Ichigo once this power was guided out.
Afterwards, Ichigo might be assimilated or devoured by the Hollow, or he might be able to turn back into the original him. All of this was still unknown.
"Is this a Vasto Lorde? No, could it be that there are even higher-level Hollows above Vasto Lorde? I really want to go and take a look!"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who also sensed the unusual spiritual pressure of the Bull-Head Ichigo, said with shining eyes.
At this time, Mayuri Kurotsuchi had already released his Bankai, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō, a giant worm with a bizarre baby's head surrounded the courtyard, which was not very large, and surrounded him and Yoruichi.
At this moment when Mayuri Kurotsuchi was distracted, a smile appeared on Yoruichi's face.
"Then you can go and take a look! Bye-bye!"
Suddenly, Yoruichi jumped out of the large circle formed by the body of Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō with a super-speed Shunpo, and disappeared without a trace in two swishes.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyebrows furrowed together. At this time, he was also hesitating whether to chase Yoruichi or go and take a look at the spiritual pressure that made him very interested.
"Forget it, anyway, he is guarding inside Las Noches, so let him worry about this Flash Goddess Yoruichi!"
After thinking for a few seconds, Mayuri Kurotsuchi decided to follow his curiosity, and immediately drove his giant worm towards the battlefield outside Las Noches.
"Great, the palace gate is in front of us. Leaving there is equal to leaving Las Noches!"
Uryū Ishida looked at the Las Noches gate not far away, and shouted happily to Sado, who was carrying Orihime beside him.
At this time, due to the bumps of running, Orihime, who had just been frightened unconscious by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, gradually woke up and was very surprised to see Uryū Ishida beside her.
Just when the few people thought that they were about to escape, suddenly a cold man wearing a white robe and carrying a Zanpakutō at his waist stood at the palace gate, blocking their way.
Although this man was just standing there, the powerful aura emanating from his body gave the three of them a feeling of almost suffocation.
"It's over, humans."
