274: Chapter 274 Yun Qiyao's Engagement?

The third Law was incomparably fierce, its sharpness piercing straight into the firmament, as if it could cleave heaven and earth and sever everything!

Even the Void Realm was cut with tiny cracks by this sharp Aura!

This was manifested by the Supreme Sword Bone, containing the ultimate Sword Dao Law, with imposing Sword Intent, exposed sharpness, and invincibility!

The fourth Law was clear and translucent; in a trance, a phantom of a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox seemed to emerge, bathed in auspicious soft light. Its gaze pierced through falsehoods, perceiving Heavenly Dao secrets and seeing through all illusions and flaws. It was manifested by the Heavenly Fox True Pupil, representing the ultimate Illusion Law, and even possessed the great power to turn the virtual into reality!

The fifth Law was dark and deathly silent, wrapped in an apocalyptic Aura of extinction. Wherever it passed, Spiritual Qi vanished, life was extinguished, and it exuded a domineering power that devoured everything. It was the Extinction Law manifested by the Nirvana Demon Pupil, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth!

The five peerless Laws did not conflict; instead, they blended and circled each other, slowly rotating around Ji Taichang and condensing into a Wheel of Laws that spanned a thousand zhang!

On the wheel, the five Law patterns intertwined and wrapped around each other, mysterious and unfathomable. Each pattern carried the Supreme-grade Profound Truth of the Dao, and as it slowly rotated, even heaven and earth trembled because of it.

In addition, there were dozens of weaker, shallower Laws embellishing it.

These were drawn by the dozens of other abilities Ji Taichang possessed, such as Shadow Clone, Fire Spirit Body, Spirit Summoning, Natal Demon Fire, Spirit Devouring Power...

Each ability corresponded to a Law.

Although Ji Taichang's control over these Laws was not as great as his five Supreme-grade talents, they were still the power of Laws!

Boom—

Purple-black Lightning Tribulations, as massive as mountains, struck down, carrying apocalyptic power, wanting to completely erase this Heaven-Defying freak, as if the Heavenly Dao did not allow such a monster to exist!

Wherever the heavenly lightning passed, space shattered and gale winds howled; its power was enough to crush an ordinary Body Integration Stage Peak Ninth Level Cultivator!

Yet Ji Taichang merely raised his hand and guided it gently. The Wheel of Laws around him suddenly accelerated, and the power of the five Laws erupted simultaneously: Imperial Dao suppressed might, Yin and Yang stabilized the void, Sword Dao shattered the lightning, Heavenly Dao secrets locked the trajectory, and Extinction devoured the power!

The terrifying heavenly lightning, which could shatter mountains and crack the earth, was instantly and firmly imprisoned the moment it struck the Wheel of Laws, unable to advance even half an inch.

The sea of lightning surged wildly and electric snakes danced, but they could not break through the barrier constructed by the five Supreme Laws.

Instead, they were frantically devoured and dissolved by the Extinction power on the wheel!

The Imperial Dao Law suppressed the ferocity of the heavenly lightning, the Yin and Yang Law neutralized the baleful Aura of the Lightning Tribulation, the Sword Dao Law shattered the Origin of the Lightning Tribulation, and the Illusion Law locked onto the trajectory of the Lightning Tribulation, leaving it nowhere to hide.

In less than half a breath, that apocalyptic Lightning Tribulation was forcefully devoured to nothingness by the Wheel of Laws, not even leaving a trace of its residual power!

But this was only the beginning.

One after another, colorful Lightning Tribulations struck down continuously, completely submerging this space as if it had turned into a sea of lightning!

But no matter how terrifying the Lightning Tribulation was, the Wheel of Laws behind Ji Taichang was like a great millstone of heaven and earth, grinding all the incoming Lightning Tribulations to pieces and turning them into wisps of pure lightning power, which were all absorbed by Ji Taichang to temper his Body Integration Stage Physical Body and Primordial Spirit!

Ji Taichang stood in the center of the Wheel of Laws, surrounded by five-colored divine radiance, his hair gently fluttering, his expression cold and stern, like a god descending to the world!

"Is this the Aura of an Upper Realm Immortal Venerable... truly strong!"

Yun Qiyao stared blankly at Ji Taichang, somewhat dazzled. A look of astonishment flashed through her beautiful eyes, along with a bit more awe!

She suddenly felt that serving Ji Taichang just now was not so hard to accept after all.

Being able to follow such an expert was indeed the greatest Opportunity of her life!

The violent Lightning Tribulation struck for a full quarter of an hour, yet it could not even touch the corner of Ji Taichang's clothing; all of it was crushed and devoured by the unreasonably strong Wheel of Laws!

Ji Taichang's Physical Body and Primordial Spirit were also solidified under the tempering of the lightning power, his Foundation perfect and flawless, without the slightest instability!

Above the firmament, the boundless tribulation clouds began to shrink and dissipate.

"Come back to this Seat!"

Ji Taichang raised his hand and clenched it, and wisps of Law power swirled around his fingertips. The Dao of heaven and earth was entirely under his control, condensing into a huge hand of Laws that directly pierced through the dark cloud hundred refinements tower and the carefree tower, grabbing towards the tribulation clouds above the firmament!

In the shocked gazes of Yun Qiyao, Lu Qingmeng, and others, Ji Taichang actually forcefully grabbed an incomparably dazzling Lightning Tribulation Origin from the tribulation clouds!

Boom!!

The firmament shook violently, the roar of thunder shook the heavens and earth, and the tribulation clouds churned, as if the Heavenly Dao itself had been enraged by Ji Taichang's arrogant actions.

But the tribulation clouds did not gather again; instead, they paused for a moment and then suddenly accelerated their dissipation!

In the blink of an eye, the originally pitch-black firmament instantly returned to clear, sunny skies, and the tribulation clouds disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

If not for the huge hand of Laws in mid-air still holding a lump of Lightning Tribulation Origin, Yun Qiyao, Lu Qingmeng, and the others would even have suspected that what just happened was an illusion!

Ji Taichang retracted his palm, swallowed the Lightning Tribulation Origin in one gulp, and his cultivation Aura grew slightly stronger.

He hovered in the Void Realm, the Wheel of Laws rotating slowly beside him, his pressure spanning through eternity, announcing that a Heaven-Defying Prodigy had officially stepped onto the Body Integration Dao!

"Although the five Supreme-grade talents make my Breakthrough speed very slow, the further I progress, the stronger my strength becomes!"

Ji Taichang feeling the vast and majestic Divine Power within his body, couldn't help but let the corner of his mouth tilt, revealing a Dragon King-style smile!

Combining five Supreme-grade talents into one is not simply five times stronger than having one Supreme-grade talent; it is more than fifty times stronger!

A qualitative change has already occurred!

With a thought from Ji Taichang, the Wheel of Laws retracted, and his entire demeanor instantly returned to calm from its sharp, imposing state. His ink-green robe fluttered without wind, his face was incomparably handsome, and he exuded an ethereal, otherworldly Aura like an immortal banished to earth.

"Speaking of which, the 20% cultivation of the Nine-Element Demon Saint was actually enough to let me break through to the Body Integration Stage. It seems that the Nine-Element Demon Saint must be at least a Mahayana Stage expert!"

"Xiao Yao actually had such a powerful late husband?"

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin and asked Yun Qiyao: "Xiao Yao, who is the Nine-Element Demon Saint?"

"The Nine-Element Demon Saint?"

Yun Qiyao was slightly stunned and immediately replied: "Replying to Master, he was the former leader of the Yao Race tribal Alliance in the Eastern Desolate Region, with Mahayana Stage Third Level cultivation. One thousand five hundred years ago, in order to break through the shackles of cultivation, he secretly slaughtered hundreds of millions of Human Race lives, creating boundless killing karma. I then joined forces with the Tiangang Holy Land and the Lietian Holy Land to kill the Nine-Element Demon Saint."

Ji Taichang raised an eyebrow: "Then... did you have an engagement with the Nine-Element Demon Saint?"

"Impossible!"

Yun Qiyao immediately shook her head: "I have been pure and chaste my whole life, never having had an engagement with anyone, let alone been married. I only met the Nine-Element Demon Saint once, the time I killed him; other than that, there was no interaction."

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Since Yun Qiyao did not have an engagement with the Nine-Element Demon Saint, why would the System reward him with the cultivation of the Nine-Element Demon Saint?

"System, are you sure the Nine-Element Demon Saint was Yun Qiyao's late husband? You didn't make a mistake, did you?"

Ji Taichang couldn't help but think silently in his heart.
