177: Chapter 177 The Deceased Husband of the Twin Demonesses

"This Magic Treasure... could it be!!?"

The Twin Demoness's gaze quickly locked onto the yang yao disk beneath Ji Taichang's feet, her pupils contracting violently, her heart shaking with shock!

Her discernment was far superior to Lan Huaying's; she recognized at a glance that this was the yang yao disk once lost by the Chiyang Sect!

The yang yao disk was once a top-tier treasure that shook the Eastern Desolate Region, a Supreme treasure of Formation Dao; even the Black Thorn Cult had coveted it and even attempted to steal it, but ultimately failed.

"Could it be that this Supreme treasure was lost in Setting Sun Valley and then obtained by him?!"

"Good, good, good... as expected of the little gentleman I took a fancy to, this luck is truly Heaven-Defying!"

"Now, you and the Magic Treasure are both ours!"

The Twin Demoness was both shocked and delighted, her eyes glowing, her little heart "thumping" wildly!

That was the legendary yang yao disk!

A Supreme treasure that even Body Integration Stage and even Mahayana Stage powerhouses would covet!

If she could obtain it, it would be enough for her to cross Realms and strike at Body Integration Stage big shots; by then, her status in the Black Thorn Cult would also rise with the tide!

[Ding! Twin Demoness favorability increased by 5 points. You may obtain 10% of the cultivation/ability of Blood Shadow, Perfected Qingsong, Six Desires Demon Venerable, White Bone True Lord, Extreme Tyrant Blade Master, Liu Ye Dao... Perfected Suxin. Please choose.]

[Twin Demoness favorability: 10 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

A long string of names suddenly rang out in Ji Taichang's mind, hard-controlling him for a full dozens of breaths.

"Wait, brother?! Is this right?"

"How many?!"

Even with Ji Taichang's composed mindset, he couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment, somewhat doubting if he had misheard!

The System recited over fifty names in one breath, just like reading off a menu!

Doesn't this mean the Twin Demoness actually has over fifty dead husbands??

Although many Demonic Path women primarily cultivate the Yin and Yang Joyous Dao, such as Luo Hongyi, cauldrons and male pets do not count as dead husbands; they must have had a marriage contract to count!

And these were just the dead husbands; heaven knows if the Twin Demoness still has living husbands!

"System, collect their cultivation!"

Ji Taichang licked his lips, his eyes filled with some excitement and anticipation.

These are over fifty dead husbands!

Even if it's only 10% of their cultivation, it should be enough to let me take off, right?

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 10% of the cultivation of Blood Shadow, Perfected Qingsong, Six Desires Demon Venerable, White Bone True Lord, Extreme Tyrant Blade Master, Liu Ye Dao... Perfected Suxin!]

As the string of names rang out.

Over fifty different streams of power surged out of thin air within Ji Taichang's Dantian, varying in strength, accompanied by over fifty different types of Cultivation Technique insights surging into his heart.

This was an extremely vast and chaotic power.

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, they would likely be unable to withstand it at all, with various chaotic powers causing them to explode and die.

But Ji Taichang's Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body operated autonomously, releasing a grand and majestic power, like a great millstone of heaven and earth, crushing all these powers and converting them into wisps of pure and vast spiritual energy, which were continuously absorbed and refined by the Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body, the Supreme Sword Bone, and the Nirvana Demon Pupil!

Ji Taichang's cultivation aura also surged accordingly!

"Hm?!"

"Something's wrong... what happened?"

"Why did he break through without any warning??"

Lan Huaying and Yun Qiyao both keenly sensed the change in Ji Taichang's cultivation aura; both women widened their eyes, their heads buzzing with shock!

While Ji Taichang was forming hand seals to activate the yang yao disk, he was also breaking through in cultivation; his already formidable aura surged rapidly, breaking through the shackles in the blink of an eye and stepping into the fourth level of the Soul Transformation Stage!

A moment later, Ji Taichang's cultivation broke through again, stepping into the fifth level of the Soul Transformation Stage, and finally slowly came to a halt.

"Only broke through two minor Realms?"

"It seems this Twin Demoness isn't much either; she found over fifty husbands, and this is all the cultivation she has?"

Ji Taichang curled his lips, somewhat dissatisfied.

Originally, seeing that the Twin Demoness had over fifty dead husbands, he thought he could take off, but it was just this?

If the Twin Demoness heard Ji Taichang's words, she would definitely be so angry that she would curse out loud.

One must know, among her fifty-plus dead husbands, there were a full eight Void Refinement Stage powerhouses; this number was absolutely shocking enough!

If this 10% of cultivation were given to Lan Huaying, not to mention breaking through to the Void Refinement Stage, she could at least break through to the ninth level of the Soul Transformation Stage!

The reason Ji Taichang only broke through two minor Realms was simply because he possessed three Supreme-level talents, not because the cultivation provided by those fifty-plus dead husbands was insufficient!

"Little gentleman, you truly delight me!"

"Hee hee... hand it over!!"

Just at this moment.

The Twin Demoness had already inched closer and closer to Ji Taichang; both women's eyes were glowing, filled with greed, staring fixedly at the yang yao disk beneath Ji Taichang's feet, and they directly activated that ancient bell to crash over!

In her view, Ji Taichang was merely an ant at the Soul Transformation Stage; although his combat power was extraordinary, it was impossible for him to be mentioned in the same breath as her, and he was only able to resist the space storm by relying on the protection of the yang yao disk.

As long as she struck the yang yao disk, with Ji Taichang's strength, he surely wouldn't be able to hold on for long, and by then...

Dong!!

The thought had just risen in the Twin Demoness's mind when a dull, thunderous sound reached her ears.

That ancient bell slammed fiercely against the defensive Formation of the yang yao disk, the roaring sound spreading continuously, but the result was that the defensive Formation remained as steady as a rock, without the slightest tremor!

Instead, the ancient bell was knocked back, and the Twin Demoness let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth as she suffered a not-insignificant backlash.

"How could this be..."

Before the Twin Demoness finished speaking, her eyes widened into circles!

Ji Taichang grinned, and a purple-black ancient sword suddenly appeared in his hand; the Supreme Sword Bone fully awakened, Sword Intent piercing the sky, and he slashed fiercely at them with a single sword strike!

Boom!!

The power erupted from the wuji sword completely exceeded the Twin Demoness's imagination; it was too terrifying, like a divine punishment descending from the heavens, its sharpness revealed!

This sword strike hacked onto the ancient bell, instantly sending the ancient bell and the Twin Demoness flying over a thousand zhang away; the ancient bell vibrated violently, a tiny crack appearing, and it continued to hum incessantly.

The terrifying power passed through the ancient bell, shaking the Twin Demoness's body until it cracked, and blood was flowing from her seven orifices!

Most terrifying of all.

This strike added insult to injury for the already heavily injured Twin Demoness; the ancient bell's power plummeted, making it difficult to resist the force of the space storm!

Under the impact of the terrifying space storm, more and more cracks appeared on the ancient bell, splitting continuously like spiderwebs.

"No... no!!"

The Twin Demoness's eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness, and she let out a shrill scream!

Dong!!

Ji Taichang raised his hand and slashed out with another sword strike; the boundless, sharp Sword Qi sent the ancient bell flying away again, like the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing the ancient bell to be unable to hold on any longer, instantly shattering into pieces and exploding with a bang!

The Twin Demoness, who was heavily injured and had less than one-tenth of her cultivation and strength remaining, faced the terrifying space storm directly; soon, amidst shrill and desperate screams, she shattered into pieces and turned into countless ashes!

Swish—

At the same instant.

In the distant lair of the Black Thorn Cult, two gloomy and terrifying red and blue gazes suddenly lit up!
