324: Chapter 324 Quasi-Chaos-Level Sword

Cao Yang glanced nonchalantly at the massive black talisman sword, and a hint of surprise couldn't help but well up in his heart.

He hadn't expected at all that this seemingly ordinary talisman sword would actually possess such a bizarre ability to corrode the Source Power within his body!

It should be noted that although he was only at the Early Stage of the Source Emperor Realm at this time, the essence of his power was still the incomparably powerful Source Power!

Furthermore, with the strength he currently displayed, he was already sufficient to rival a Chaos Realm powerhouse.

However, just as the others were in shock, Cao Yang simply gave a casual wave of his hand. A flash of golden light flickered, and the black talisman sword originally held in Jin Bubai's hand vanished instantly, as if teleporting.

In the next moment, it appeared steadily within Cao Yang's palm.

"You... give me back the black talisman sword immediately!"

Jin Bubai saw the black talisman sword he cherished as a treasure being snatched away so easily by the opponent.

Suddenly, his heart burned with anxiety, and he glared with wide eyes, roaring loudly at Cao Yang.

Facing Jin Bubai's angry roar, Cao Yang turned a deaf ear, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and silently called out to the System Loli in his heart: "System, help me check what grade this black talisman sword belongs to?"

His voice was as calm as water, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

"Ding! Master, this is a Pseudo-Chaos Level treasure sword. Master's Luck is quite good."

Thinking of the System Loli's crisp and affirmative answer, a wave of realization washed over Cao Yang's heart.

No wonder this mysterious power could corrode his Source Power so easily! So that was it...

The black talisman sword before him radiated a heart-palpitating cold light; one could tell at a glance it was no ordinary item.

However, when Cao Yang looked closely, he was surprised to find that an artifact spirit was actually hidden within the sword's body, and this artifact spirit was male.

At this moment, it was curled up inside the sword, trembling incessantly, as if filled with fear for its impending fate.

A cold glint flashed in Cao Yang's eyes, and without hesitation, he injected a surge of majestic Source Power into the giant sword.

In an instant, the Source Power surged into the black talisman sword like a turbulent torrent, directly impacting that pitiful sword spirit.

With only a single scream, the sword spirit was instantly annihilated, vanishing without a trace.

"Haha, not bad. From now on, Fellow Daoist Jin, your black talisman sword is mine!"

Holding the giant sword and feeling the powerful energy fluctuations within, Cao Yang's face revealed a triumphant smile.

Just then, Jin Bubai, who had been tensely following the development of the situation, suddenly turned pale. He realized with horror that he could no longer sense his connection with the black talisman sword.

Even the Karma between the two had been forcibly severed.

At this moment, Jin Bubai finally realized that the situation was lost and he had fallen into a desperate plight.

Despair flooded his heart like a tide, and Jin Bubai stood dazed on the spot.

However, he quickly forced himself to calm down. After all, things had come to this; no amount of panic or regret would help.

"Fellow Daoist, my worthless grandson did not know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and he offended Your Excellency. Now he has been completely obliterated by you.

I know full well that I have no way out today, but I implore Fellow Daoist to stay your hand and grant my Jin family a path to survival.

As long as Fellow Daoist agrees, I am willing to inform you of a vital secret."

Jin Bubai suppressed the grief and fear in his heart, speaking to Cao Yang in a tone that was nearly pleading.

"But I really do desire the Jin family's world-toppling beauties and your gorgeous, charming, and enchanting wives and concubines! Fellow Daoist Jin, isn't this making things difficult for me?"

Cao Yang shook his head with a look of helplessness, waving his hands and muttering.

In reality, Cao Yang knew very well that he didn't have the slightest interest in the other's women.

Of course, if one had to say there was some kind of thought... unless these women...

At this time, after hearing Cao Yang's words, Jin Bubai's face didn't show even a hint of anger.

His eyes remained calm as he responded composedly, "It matters not. If Fellow Daoist takes a fancy to any woman of the Jin family, feel free to enjoy them as you wish. I only ask that Fellow Daoist stays his hand and spares the Jin family.

Here, I am willing to swear upon the entire Luck of the Jin family that from now on, no one in the Jin family will dare seek revenge against Fellow Daoist. If any do, they shall be burned to death by the Jin family's Luck."

Cao Yang had never expected that Jin Bubai would so readily offer such a solution to dispel his concerns.

He couldn't help but think to himself: This fellow can be considered a man of character, remaining so calm and collected in the face of life and death.

It seems that as a powerhouse at the Peak Source Emperor level, he indeed has some foundation and methods.

Consequently, Cao Yang slightly withdrew his previous flippant attitude and said solemnly:

"Since you are so sensible, I guarantee that after you return to the Yellow Springs, I will not touch your wives and concubines.

However, as an exchange, tell me all the secrets you know right now.

If these secrets truly possess enough value, perhaps I will consider showing mercy and sparing the Jin family from this disaster."
