152: Chapter 152 Ability: Shadow Clone

Snap!!

Ji Taichang snapped his fingers, and the Devilish Qi within the human emperor flag surged, transforming into iron chains that pierced Luo Hongyi's limbs and suspended her in the air.

With a "swish," millions of vengeful spirits and Souls couldn't help but look over in unison, their gazes all focused on Luo Hongyi.

A spiked whip even appeared in Ji Taichang's hand, causing Luo Hongyi's voluptuous...

...to...

[Ding! The host can obtain 20% of Black Fiend Demon Venerable's cultivation/ability, please choose]

(There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

...

Finally, a wonderful System prompt sounded in Taichang's ear.

[, the host can obtain 30% of Black Fiend Demon Venerable's cultivation/ability, please choose]

[(There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Surprise Gift Pack!]

Ji Taichang decisively thought: "Open the Surprise Gift Pack!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Nirvana Demon Pupil!]

As the System prompt faded...

A cold and eerie Supreme Origin power gathered in Ji Taichang's eyes, turning his pupils pitch black as if they had transformed into two black holes.

In this instant.

Ji Taichang's temperament changed drastically!

An indescribable aura emanated from him—cold, eerie, evil...

The temperature inside the entire human emperor flag's space plummeted, and an invisible, terrifying power of Nirvana circulated within Ji Taichang's eyes, seemingly capable of destroying heaven and earth!!

"This is... the legendary Nirvana Demon Pupil!"

"One of the most terrifying Supreme talents of the Demonic Path?!"

Yun Qiyao's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but cry out in alarm!

Even though she was the Sect Master of the Shuiyue Holy Land in her past life, a powerhouse of the Mahayana Stage, she was still shocked to the point that her head buzzed, deeply shaken!

She wasn't shocked by the Nirvana Demon Pupil itself.

But because Ji Taichang, who already possessed the Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body and the Supreme Sword Bone, could actually still undergo the Awakening of the Nirvana Demon Pupil!!

Three Supreme-tier talents appearing in one person simultaneously—one couldn't find a second such person in the entire history of the Eastern Desolate Region!

This was simply too inconceivable!!

"Just... what is his background?"

"An Immortal Reincarnation?"

"Or the child of fortune of the Qingling Realm??"

A great wave of emotion rose in Yun Qiyao's heart, which could not be calmed for a long time!

"Very good, very good!"

Sensing the terrifying destructive power contained within the Nirvana Demon Pupil, the corners of Ji Taichang's mouth curled up slightly into a wild and arrogant arc!

Possessing three Supreme-tier talents at once, even if Ji Taichang only had a first-layer Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, it was enough for him to walk horizontally among those in the Soul Transformation Stage!

With a thought from Ji Taichang, the black light in his eyes receded, the power of the Nirvana Demon Pupil went dormant, and his temperament returned to normal.

"System, claim the abilities of the Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign and the Black Fiend Demon Venerable."

The cultivation of the Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign and the Black Fiend Demon Venerable wasn't of much use to Ji Taichang, who had already stepped into the Soul Transformation Stage, so it was better to see what abilities they both had.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10% of the Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign's ability!]

A vast and complex amount of knowledge flooded into Ji Taichang's mind, causing his Formation Dao attainment to advance by leaps and bounds!

The Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign was not just a Sword Cultivator, but actually a powerful Formation Master as well!

However, after obtaining 10% of the Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign's Formation Dao attainment, Ji Taichang only barely reached the level of a Third-grade Peak Formation Master, which wasn't of much use.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 50% of the Black Fiend Demon Venerable's ability!]

Another evil and eerie power surged into Ji Taichang's mind, causing black mist to rise around his body as his temperament suddenly became cold and dark.

"This is... a special talent of the Demonic Path, the Shadow Clone?!"

When Ji Taichang digested this power, his eyes suddenly brightened.

This was not a Cultivation Technique or Divine Ability, but a special talent that the Venerable Black Fiend was born with, similar to an Innate Sword Bone.

One only needed to consume a portion of essence blood and Soul to generate a Shadow Clone identical to the original body.

Although the Shadow Clone only had one-tenth of the original body's combat power, it could be used as a substitute, could block curses, and could be used to confuse enemies.

Especially when encountering pursuit by a strong enemy, the Shadow Clone could play an unexpected role!

"This is quite a good ability!"

"And it can even unlock special ways to play..."

With a thought, Ji Taichang's essence blood and Soul burned, condensing into a Shadow Clone that stood side-by-side with him, identical in both appearance and aura!

At this moment, if someone were to cast a Bloodline curse on Ji Taichang or deduce heavenly secrets to lock onto his location, it would all fall upon the Shadow Clone instead of the original body!

"Having only one-tenth of the original's combat power is a weakness for ordinary people, but my combat power far exceeds those of the same rank by thousands of times!"

"One-tenth of my combat power is enough to sweep through the same rank and be nearly invincible!"

Ji Taichang's mouth quirked, feeling quite satisfied.

The only fly in the ointment was...

Once the Shadow Clone appeared, it would continuously consume its Origin and could only be maintained for a maximum of three days.

However, this was still very useful for Ji Taichang and was a complete surprise.

Ji Taichang left the internal space of the human emperor flag and put it away casually, his gaze falling upon Lan Huaying.

By now, she had changed out of her Phoenix robe and put on a suit of Black Armor, which perfectly accentuated her tall and slender figure. Her long golden hair fell down to her long legs like a golden cloak, rustling in the wind, looking heroic and formidable.

Especially the Heart-protecting armor on her chest, which outlined the breathtaking curves of a huge full moon, its scale was staggering.

"Miss Lan, do you know who Master Xuanyin is?"

Lan Huaying said without hesitation: "He was once a notorious Void Refinement Stage Devil Head of the Black Thorn Cult and also the husband of the Thousand-Faced Enchantress. However, he later provoked the Tianyu Holy Land and was eventually slain..."

"So that's how it is."

Ji Taichang nodded slightly.

No wonder 10% of Master Xuanyin's cultivation could allow Ji Taichang to step into the Soul Transformation Stage.

Ji Taichang added: "Miss Lan, I plan to find a place in the Eastern Desolate Region to rebuild the Qingyun Sect. You know more about the Eastern Desolate Region, so why don't you help me choose a location?"

"Alright."

Lan Huaying nodded and took out a map of the Eastern Desolate Region, which was far more detailed than the one Divine Physician Elder Li had given Ji Taichang, with mountains and rivers vividly depicted on the paper.

She quickly helped Ji Taichang select several locations.

Ji Taichang pulled Lin Xueyue, Yang Yao, and Qin Ruolin into the room to discuss which location was more suitable.

A moment later, Ji Taichang sent a Shadow Clone out of the room to conduct on-site inspections of those locations alone.

His original body remained on the Warship, heading straight for the treasure hoard location given by Yun Qiyao.

"He actually left alone, very good, very good!"

In the Void Realm, the Thousand-Faced Enchantress's eyes suddenly brightened, and she couldn't help but lick her lips!

If Ji Taichang had always stayed by Lan Huaying's side, she would have been somewhat wary, fearing that Lan Huaying might summon Ji Ruyan.

But now...

The Thousand-Faced Enchantress gave a charming laugh and quietly followed Ji Taichang's Shadow Clone as it left.
