Boom—!!!
As the rolling black mist surged into her body along with the demon souls.
Jiang Yuechu's body shook violently, and her brow throbbed as if something were about to explode.
Clearly.
Forcibly imprisoning the remnant souls of two Demon Emperors whose Realms far exceeded her own was undoubtedly a bit of a strain for her at the moment.
However, even after entering her body.
The remnant souls of the Thousand Feathers Demon Emperor and the Crimson Blood Demon Emperor did not submit.
They crashed frantically within the narrow space of her acupoints, lashing out in all directions.
With every impact, Jiang Yuechu's face grew a shade paler.
Vaguely.
The roars of tigers and the cries of cranes seemed to emanate from within her body.
Jiang Yuechu gritted her teeth, a fierce look flashing across her face. "Have you... had enough?!"
Instantly.
She mobilized all the power in her body, along with the Evil Qi of the crimson crescent blade, and pressed it all toward those two restless acupoints.
Yet, it was not enough.
The young girl's voice was hoarse as she barked, "All of you... wake up!!!"
With that command.
Her Qi Sea churned, and black mist surged skyward within her.
The demon remnant souls that had been dormant in various acupoints seemed to sense their master's call or perhaps caught the scent of the newcomers, and they all began to awaken.
Roar—!!!
Amidst the churning black mist, countless Flood Dragons of various colors came rolling along her Meridians.
Following closely behind was the phantom of a Spirit Turtle, its four legs treading upon the Meridians, as steady as Mount Tai.
After that was a snow-White Rabbit with eyes like rubies.
There was also a Centipede with a thousand legs and a hundred eyes, exuding a chilling poisonous aura.
Finally, there was a Thunder Dragon wrapped in silvery-purple lightning fluid.
No unnecessary words.
Nor were there any Jianghu rules about fighting one-on-one.
Within this body, Jiang Yuechu's will was the only rule.
And she had only one rule—ganging up.
Boom—
Countless demon remnant souls, carrying overwhelming black mist, surged majestically along the river of Meridians toward those two restless acupoints.
This was the most unscrupulous and overbearing aspect of the Great Black Heaven Body Forging Scripture.
Demon sea tactics!
Just as the Thousand Feathers Demon Emperor was about to strike the acupoint, he suddenly felt the black mist churning around him.
Looking up into the black mist, it was densely packed with hideous demonic faces.
Within the acupoint, screams, curses, and the sound of biting rose and fell in a chaotic cacophony.
With the help of these demons, Jiang Yuechu felt the pressure within her body suddenly lighten.
Her previously tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
But she didn't dare lower her guard in the slightest.
After all, those were her major acupoints; any slight mishap would be like inviting a wolf into the house.
Only someone like Jiang Yuechu.
Relying on her powerful Physical Body and her Eternal Evergreen talent, would dare to act so recklessly.
If anyone else had tried this, the grass on their grave would likely be ten feet tall by now.
"Whew..."
A breath of turbid air, tinged with a hint of blood, was slowly exhaled from the girl's mouth.
She opened her eyes.
The terrifying crimson in her eyes gradually receded, returning to their clear, cold black-and-white appearance.
She slowly raised her right hand.
At her fingertips, a thin wisp of white mist lingered.
With a slight thought.
The white mist suddenly solidified, transforming into a Flowing Cloud Chain that instantly whistled into the distance.
"As expected..."
A slight smile touched the corner of Jiang Yuechu's mouth.
Aside from using demon soul Evil Qi to temper the Physical Body, the Great Black Heaven Body Forging Scripture Cultivation Technique had another use.
Just like the silvery-purple lightning fluid brought by the Thunder Dragon before, now the Thousand Feathers Demon Emperor's flowing cloud mist and the Crimson Blood Demon Emperor's violent blood Qi had all become a part of her Physical Body.
Although it wasn't as effortless as the Divine Abilities and talents granted by the hundred demons compendium, it was still a bit of a boost.
Withdrawing her gaze, she scanned the surrounding world.
The Five Dragon Suppressing Kill just now had been grand, but perhaps because these orthodox Demon Emperors had solid foundations, or maybe she had held back just a tiny bit of power.
There were still many Primordial Spirit fragments lingering in the world that had not yet dissipated.
Specks of fluorescence drifted in the sky like fireflies.
Adhering to the fine tradition of being thrifty, Jiang Yuechu naturally had no reason to let them go to waste.
"Myriad Demon Swallowing Heaven Method, activate."
The surrounding Primordial Spirit fragments, which were still drifting with the wind, instantly turned into streaks of light and surged toward the girl like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
Sizzle sizzle—
As this extremely pure energy entered her body, Jiang Yuechu felt her Qi Sea churn once more.
Her cultivation, originally at the third level of Ascending the Tower, rose again under the impact of this power.
Crack.
It was as if some sort of shackle had been broken.
Fourth level of Ascending the Tower!
Crossing that step meant a world of difference between the early and Middle Stages.
Feeling the power surging like a river within her, Jiang Yuechu slowly clenched her fist.
If the Thousand Feathers Demon Emperor were to stand before her now, she was confident she could go toe-to-toe with him even without resorting to pay-to-win methods.
Of course, if she wanted to kill him.
She would still have to pay.
This was what made the Spirit Mountain Demon Emperor so terrifying.
Without an unreasonable pay-to-win outburst.
Relying solely on her previous methods, taking down the Thousand Feathers Demon Emperor would have indeed been extremely difficult.
Thinking back on his methods even now, she still felt a lingering sense of dread.
And that was just one of the Demon Emperors.
On this trip to the Lu family to seek a method, it would be fine if they were reasonable.
But if they weren't and a fight broke out, or if people from a Dao Lineage were drawn in... without enough Dao Cultivation to protect herself, she wouldn't feel at ease.
One should live frugally at home but travel with plenty of money.
How could one go out into the world without money in their pocket?
With this thought.
She suppressed the urge to allocate points.
Instead, she saved up her Dao Cultivation.
Not far away.
Running Ox was grimacing as he touched his swollen ox face when he suddenly felt a suffocating pressure sweep over him, making him shiver all over.
He looked up.
He saw that Jinx standing in mid-air, her internal Qi circulating.
She had actually broken through to a new Realm... "This..."
Running Ox's eyes widened in utter disbelief.
She broke through her Realm just by killing two Demon Emperors?
You freaking get stronger the more you kill?!
He remembered when he moved from the first to the second level of Ascending the Tower; it took him tens of thousands of years of seclusion and consuming heavenly treasures to barely make it.
Compared to her, his hundreds of thousands of years of life had practically been wasted.
Beside him, Wang Ziyu didn't speak, but his eyelids were twitching uncontrollably.
As a direct disciple of Xuanzhen Grotto-Heaven, he had seen countless Geniuses and Prodigies.
But he remembered when they first met, this girl was only at the first level of the Ascending the Tower Realm.
How did she improve so quickly?!
It's only been a few days?
She jumped directly from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of Ascending the Tower?!
Could it be... Jiang Yuechu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and restrained her internal Qi.
With a flash of her body, she landed in front of the two of them.
"Let's go."
Running Ox hurriedly scurried over with a fawning expression. "Just now was truly..."
He wanted to boast a bit like Old Flood Dragon.
But he was stuck for a long time, not knowing what to say.
He couldn't help but miss Old Flood Dragon... if only he were here, he would just have to say "me too" and be done with it, instead of racking his brains like this.
