141: Chapter 141 Is this all there is to the Nascent Soul stage?

"Yang Weile?!" Ji Taichang raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised.

However, this wasn't too unexpected. Yang Weile had long since fallen into the Demonic Path and secretly defected to the Blood Lotus Sect, so becoming a blood seed for Venerable Blood Bone was normal.

Luo Hongyi licked her long, fair fingers, a morbid smile on her face: "You can hide for the first day, but not the fifteenth; today is your death day!"

Originally, Venerable Blood Bone had sent Luo Hongyi to slaughter the Qingyun Sect.

But on the way, she encountered the fleeing Thirteenth Princess Qin Ruolin. Luo Hongyi had intended to capture her, but didn't expect her to have a life-saving trump card left by the imperial Old Ancestor. Luo Hongyi was instead heavily injured, and then poisoned by Ji Taichang...

Then after that.

Luo Hongyi had finally recovered a bit from her injuries when she encountered the Alchemy Assembly in Lanzhou City, so she teamed up with an Elder from the Lanzhou branch of the Blood Lotus Sect to pull off a big job, only to be heavily injured again by Ji Taichang and the Prince of Lanzhou.

Later, Luo Hongyi received aid from the Black Thorn Cult; not only did her injuries recover, but her cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds.

Before Luo Hongyi could go find trouble with the Qingyun Sect, Ji Taichang and the Prince of Lanzhou came knocking again...

Therefore, this matter was delayed again and again, until today.

Of course.

Although many things happened during this period, it had only been a little over a month since Yang Weile was killed, which was still very short for ordinary people!

"Die!!"

Venerable Blood Bone pointed a finger at Ji Taichang. In an instant, blood light surged, and the terrifying Soul Transformation Stage spiritual power condensed into a bone finger, wreathed in gray light and blood Qi, making the heavens hum and tremble.

"Whoosh."

Inside the Qingyun Sect, Ye Yuan, who was guiding Ye Xiyan to Cultivate, looked up abruptly, brilliant light bursting from his eyes, ready to intervene immediately.

But before he could act, he saw a shocking scene!

He saw Ji Taichang form a seal, and with a sound of "Song," the azure kite sword slashed out. The blazing cyan Sword Qi broke the bone finger like dry wood, and without losing momentum, slashed fiercely toward Venerable Blood Bone!

Venerable Blood Bone's pupils constricted slightly, and a bone umbrella appeared in his hand, striking horizontally against that Sword Qi.

The two collided like thunder, shaking the firmament.

The result, however, was Venerable Blood Bone letting out a muffled groan, being knocked back three or four steps, his face turning pale.

"I thought Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators were how powerful; is this it?"

Ji Taichang shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face.

He had used less than ten percent of his strength in that previous sword strike, yet a casual strike had injured Venerable Blood Bone, which made Ji Taichang feel somewhat uninspired.

He had thought Soul Transformation Stage was how strong, but it was just this??

But this wasn't because Venerable Blood Bone was truly weak, but because Ji Taichang, who possessed the two top-tier talents of the Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body and the Supreme Sword Bone, was too much of a Prodigy!

Ji Taichang's dismissive attitude caused Venerable Blood Bone's face to darken abruptly.

"Court death!!"

Venerable Blood Bone was truly enraged, directly channeling his strongest Demonic Technique. The blood-colored lotus mark on his forehead glowed, and the blinding blood-red light illuminated the world!

The bone umbrella in his hand expanded against the wind, instantly covering the sky. Blood light and Devilish Qi intertwined, and various hideous Yao Beasts, resentful Souls, and evil ghosts appeared, as if the gates of the netherworld had been opened, with Evil Qi soaring to the sky!

"Such terrifying Evil Qi!"

"Not good, it's a Demonic Path evil Cultivator!!"

The hearts of all the Cultivators in the Qingyun Sect palpitated, their Souls trembling, and they couldn't help but show expressions of horror!

Lin Xueyue, Yang Yao, and others all rose into the air, looking from afar at the terrifying scene covering the sky. The earth-shattering pressure made all of them change color!

Even Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered to himself: "Just entered the Soul Transformation Stage, yet his full-power strike is comparable to the second level of the Soul Transformation Stage; evil Cultivators truly have extraordinary combat power..."

Boom!!

Before Ye Yuan could finish speaking, he saw Ji Taichang raise his hand and slash out with his sword again. The brilliant Sword Qi soared into the sky, boundless and terrifying. Everywhere it passed, swaths of resentful Souls and evil ghosts were annihilated, and it actually sliced the bone umbrella in two, tearing it apart!!

"What!?"

This scene frightened both the Blood Lotus Sect and the Qingyun Sect Cultivators!

Everyone was shocked!

Especially Ye Yuan and Venerable Blood Bone and others, who could sense that the cultivation aura emanating from Ji Taichang was only at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!

"How is the young master so strong?"

"Could it be... he was already a Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse, and the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivation he revealed before were all fake!"

"Such a young and handsome Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse is much stronger than Master..."

Luo Hongyi was full of shock and admiration, her charming eyes seemingly overflowing with water, subconsciously closing her long legs, staring tightly at Ji Taichang.

[Ding, Luo Hongyi's favorability increased by 15 points. Host can obtain 20% of the Black Fiend Demon Venerable's cultivation/abilities, please choose]

[Luo Hongyi's favorability: 50 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

"So strong..."

Even Yun Qiyao, who was hiding in the human emperor flag and observing secretly, was shocked, her cherry lips slightly parted.

With eighth-level Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, defying the odds to kill a Soul Transformation Stage evil Cultivator was simply incredible!

Even in the Holy Land, they might not be able to Cultivate such a Prodigy!

"Perhaps, submitting to him is a better choice; he might really be able to help me reshape my Physical Body..."

A thought flashed through Yun Qiyao's mind.

[Ding! Yun Qiyao's favorability increased by 5 points]

[Yun Qiyao's favorability: -15 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

Seeing her Lifebound Treasure being split in two by a single sword strike, Venerable Blood Bone's expression changed abruptly!

"Good boy! This Venerable actually underestimated you... Damn!"

Before Venerable Blood Bone could finish his words, his expression changed abruptly!

Ji Taichang didn't say a word of nonsense to him, raising his hand and slashing out with a sword. The sharp, boundless Sword Qi erupted, and its momentum was even stronger than the previous strike!

With the threat of the Black Thorn Cult and the Heaven-Refining Blood Slaughter Array hanging over his head, Ji Taichang was full of urgency and couldn't be bothered to waste time on them!

Venerable Blood Bone couldn't dodge in time and immediately roared, unleashing a forbidden Demonic Path technique.

His entire body emitted blinding blood light, his blood burned, and his cultivation aura actually surged by a large margin, almost comparable to a third-level Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse!

Venerable Blood Bone's originally handsome and tall body also underwent shocking changes; his flesh fell off and rotted, and gray-white bone armor grew out, transforming him into a three-zhang-tall humanoid monster!

This was his true form!

Venerable Blood Bone let out a roar, his palms full of thick bone armor and bone spurs, with power comparable to a Magic Treasure, and slapped fiercely toward the Sword Qi slashed out by Ji Taichang.

Bang!!

The two collided violently, the firmament trembled, and the violent aura that erupted was like a landslide or tsunami!

Just the diffusion of the aura made everyone from the Blood Lotus Sect and the Qingyun Sect tremble, their Souls shaking, feeling an indescribable pressure!

This was a battle at the Soul Transformation Stage level!

Just a wisp of the aftermath could sever a mountain range below and sink rivers, a shocking sight!
