Chapter 294 SS-Rank VS Nascent Soul
Just before getting off the bus.

Ji Yi looked at her "masterpiece" with great satisfaction.

The bleeding orifices of the woman in red were wiped clean, but her face was covered with various graffiti.

The most eye-catching and conspicuous feature is the ∩ stroke on the forehead, which is connected to the ω stroke below.

"This is art! I feel like I might be a painter who has been overlooked."

Next time I have time, I'll ask Xie Jiayi to teach him how to draw.

In this way, a classic scene from Titanic could also be reenacted.

Lost in thought, Ji Yi got off the supernatural train without disturbing any other ghost stories or encountering any unexpected situations.

Only four minutes have passed since my last conversation with Miss Cat.

While pondering, Ji Yi had already walked towards the platform.

As soon as I stepped onto the stairs, a thick, almost tangible aura of resentment wafted up from the exit above.

The mere residual power that leaked out was already terrifying to this extent.

Ji Yi couldn't help but frown.

Data Eye also provides information in a timely manner.

If the southernmost province of this island nation has become a no-go zone for ghost stories, then Ohiko City is the most forbidden zone within that zone.

Everything here is shrouded in extreme resentment. Not even humans, let alone ghosts, can survive here. Please be prepared; in your current state, even without encountering danger, you won't last more than 10 minutes just breathing air.

Seeing this, Ji Yi's expression turned solemn, and she slowly climbed the steps.

The air seemed to be filled with a thin, purplish-black mist, making it difficult to breathe and causing discomfort. The higher one went, the stronger the feeling became.

At the same time, he could also feel something like a life bar slowly decreasing.

What is this? Running from the poison gas to win?
Silently mocking himself, Ji Yi quickly reached the ground, and then he saw "that guy".

In the very center of Dayan City, a colossal figure, over 400 meters tall, stands majestically.

The figure was indistinguishable in human form, and naturally, it was impossible to tell whether it was male, female, old, or young, but Ji Yi had a particular feeling about it.

The figure was like a newborn baby, uneducated and with no concept of anything.

At this moment, the entire city is like his sandbox toy, completely at the mercy of his preferences.

[Your intuition is very sharp. Misaki's description of "unconscious resentment clusters" is not entirely accurate. It's not that it lacks consciousness, but rather that it hasn't yet formed cognition and thought.]

[This is the lingering will of the ancient god Keltiq Numa before its death. Although such beings are not supposed to have the same emotions as humans, this thought before its death is very similar to the resentment and unwillingness that erupts when a person dies.]

[Using the power of the portal, by sheer accident, a wisp of its psychic energy, left before it was obliterated, was transmitted to the forbidden zone of supernatural tales.]

Fortunately, this spiritual power is too insignificant; it doesn't carry any will or thought, and it's even difficult to associate it with the term "ancient god." You can think of it as a new life form.

"I see."

Looking at the tall shadow in the distance, Ji Yi continued to ask:
"So, is it now out of Misaki's control? Is there any way to bypass this guy, go directly into the past, give him a panacea, and solve the problem at its root?"

Theoretically speaking, it hasn't even developed consciousness yet, so it's still part of Misaki's power.

However, you can't bypass it to travel to the past; that's Misaki's ability, but right now Misaki neither dares nor can open a time portal.

"That's it"

Ji Yi looked around:
"Is Miss Cat here? If you're going to say something, at least you could provide information like 'there are no living people in this city,' right?"

While the data eye cannot know everything just by opening its eyes, the information that can be seen will differ depending on the subject of observation.

When focusing on a single street, data analysis can only provide information such as "there is no one on this street." However, when focusing on a city as the main subject of observation, although the information may be more ambiguous, it can provide useful information from the sidelines, allowing for more favorable judgments.

Ji Yi is quite adept at developing her visual abilities.

[You're so clever, you really understand me better and better. Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth then.]

In this city, there is no one alive except you.

"Okay, that puts my mind at ease."

Ji Yi glanced at the team status bar and saw Miss Cat's survival information.

It seems she has temporarily ensured her safety and is lying low outside the city, waiting for an opportunity.

This opportunity clearly needs to be created by Ji Yi.

"Next"

Ji Yi silently took out the [Nascent Soul Stage Experience Card].

"It's time to use our trump card."

"That scared me to death, meow."

Beside her, the fluffy Xie Jiayi was panting heavily as she crawled on her stomach in the suburbs twenty kilometers away from Dayan City.

Her chest heaved, and the few whiskers on either side of her cheeks trembled along with it.

"Aaaaaah! That thing is terrifying! Let me go back home, meow meow meow meow!"

Xuanmiao's voice echoed in my mind.

"No way, meow! If you run away again, my 'demon-level' husband isn't someone to be trifled with, meow."

"What the hell, meow! When did you two get married?! You already know his real identity, meow?! How many episodes have I missed, meow?!"

Although the memory that Ji Yi is a "demon god" only exists in the "erased timeline".

But just like Ji Yi's [Ghost Phone] which cannot be rolled back, as Miss Cat was also affected by the rollback, Xuan Miao's memories were naturally preserved as well.

Therefore, Xuanmiao, who was still shipping the "forbidden love between the Great Demon God and a human woman" last time, is now even more upset to see the two progressing so quickly, because she didn't witness the process firsthand.

How can a romance drama be completed in just two episodes? Who's going to fill in the missing plot points for me?
Seemingly realizing that Xuanmiao had missed the point, Xie Jiayi said calmly:

"Anyway, meow, Mr. Giba will definitely be here soon, meow. You should just stay put and prepare for the ambush. You'll be my husband's assistant later, meow."

"Wait! Something's fishy, ​​meow!"

"What the heck?"

"How could a Demon God-level being be afraid of a Celestial Demon-level monster? They don't need my help at all! That man isn't actually a Great Demon God, is he?!"

"He lied to me! He made me worry for nothing!"

"Lord Xuanmiao, you're mistaken, meow. My husband has only temporarily lost most of his power. Once he gathers his scattered fingers, he will regain his strength sooner or later, meow."

"Huh? I feel like I've heard this story before in Japan, meow! No way! You're definitely lying to me!"

"That man must have used some method to deceive me! His true strength is probably just like his appearance—only at the level of a Curse-type cultivator!"

"No, please listen to me."

"I don't want to hear this! I'm not playing this game anymore!"

Just as Xuanmiao was about to dispel the [Spirit Fusion] and escape this place of trouble.

The sky in the distance suddenly brightened without warning.

Like a rising star, it illuminated Dayan City, which was shrouded in purplish-black haze, as if it were daytime.

"Meow?! What's that?!"

Miss Cat's golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted; she and Xuan Miao saw the same scene. A man dressed in a blue Taoist robe, with long, flowing hair, was suspended in the sky.

The dazzling golden light emanating from him seemed to fill the entire city of Dayan with color, while in stark contrast was a gigantic, terrifying figure in purplish-black.

"Heavenly...Heavenly Demon level?! He can actually unleash such power! You're not kidding me, are you?"

Where do you collect these fingers? Can you find them and eat them yourself?
"Of course, meow. Haven't you heard the saying? The prettier a woman is, the more honest she is."

"Hmph, this cat doesn't understand your human slang."

"So, can I help now, Lord Xuanmiao?"

"Although I am invincible below the Heavenly Demon level, I am still just a Great Calamity level. I can only play a supporting role. You'd better watch out, or you'll kill me."

"Okay meow."

An extremely comfortable feeling.

The last time I felt this good was when I used a trial card in a dream. Since it was a dream, I didn't use up the card.

It can be experienced, and it's real.

Transcending worldly concerns and shedding the mortal body, one transcends to a new level of life.

Unlike the feeling of becoming a "Destroyer," although the strength is similar, the former is filled with pure madness and violence, and the experience is extremely painful.

Becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator leads to the opposite of that feeling: tranquility and detachment.

However, in terms of level, the Nascent Soul cultivator is undoubtedly a more advanced path.

This experience was even more wonderful, after all, it wasn't a dream, but a real feeling of everything about a Nascent Soul cultivator—a transcendent physical body, comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the whole experience was so unparalleled.

"pity."

Ji Yi, with her long hair flowing freely, spoke softly, her voice seemingly containing the rhythm of the universe.

"Firstly, there's no time to save a few cultivation techniques for me to practice in the future."

"Secondly, the Heavenly Dao of this place is flawed, and it cannot unleash the true power of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm."

If this were a star system in a cultivation civilization, Ji Yi's strength would be close to SSS, if not SSS. However, here, he would be affected by the lack of laws and would not be able to unleash his full power.

This effect only applies to high-level cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above; those just one level below, such as those at the Core Formation stage, will not have this concern.

"That's all."

Ji Yi looked up at the huge shadow in front of her, her every move exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, her temperament completely different from before.

"You mere evil creature, surrender!"

brush--

Ji Yi slowly raised one arm. The movement looked very slow, but it took less than half a moment.

At the same time, a giant, golden hand, stretching for a mile, descended from the sky, unleashing terrifying power.

boom! ! !
The golden palm print reached straight for the resentful entity, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.

The mere dissipation of energy possessed a terrifying power comparable to a nuclear explosion, and the aftershocks of the giant wave that surged in the center of the deserted city immediately spread for hundreds of miles.

Although so-called masters can conceal their power internally and not let it spill out except for their target.

But for Ji Yi, this aftershock was like a breeze stirred up when a nuclear bomb is flying. The real power was all used for the target. The so-called power spilling out was just a tiny speck of dust, not even worth mentioning.

"No reaction to the attack? It really hasn't developed consciousness yet."

Looking at the resentful entity firmly held in the palm of the golden giant hand, Ji Yi's face showed neither joy nor sorrow.

All he had to do was subdue the resentful entity within five minutes, then give the "panacea" to Misaki to neutralize all the negative effects of the resentment.

While Ji Yi was speaking and thinking, 108,000 sword lights appeared behind him.

Without magical treasures, talismans, array devices, or other such items, his strength was significantly weaker than that of cultivators of the same level, but the quality of his supernatural abilities and spells was quite good and still sufficient.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One - Great Geng Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!"

Whoosh whoosh—

The boundless spiritual energy transformed into countless sword lights, surging forth like a rain of swords across the sky. Each sword possessed the power to cleave mountains, and the terrifyingly dense power pressed directly towards the vengeful spirit.

Just when Ji Yi thought the other party would be at her mercy and suffer the attack,

"Wow wow~"

A strange cry of an infant rang out, and a monstrous purple-black resentment broke free from the palm print's restraints, spreading in all directions.

If Ji Yi's attack target was clear and his power was under his control...

Then the resentful entity's counterattack would appear to be completely chaotic, an indiscriminate and unconscious counterattack.

The immense resentment continuously resisted the sword light from all directions, while also spreading outwards. Wherever it passed, tall buildings instantly decayed and collapsed, turning into ashes.

With just this one move, half of Dayan City was flattened.

[Activated skill effect: I am a battery]

[Spiritual energy reserves: 939]

[Spiritual energy reserves: 2093]

[Spiritual energy reserves: 7901]

"I almost forgot."

The skill "I am a battery" can absorb 20% of the spiritual energy from psionic attacks.

This attack completely maxed out Ji Yi's "battery".

In reality, however, there is no limit to the amount of spiritual energy that can be stored, so if Ji Yi wanted, she could exploit the bug to farm it for fun.

But now is clearly not the time to inflate data.

Ji Yi's expression remained unchanged. While slightly loosening his protective defenses, he focused his energy even more on the attack.

This isn't just for "energy storage"; that's just an add-on.

What Ji Yi really cared about was the effect of the [Divine Remains Demon Armor].

[Effect 1 "Echo of Pain": Any attack that hits this armor will amplify the pain, which will travel back along the attacker's nerves.]

[Effect 2 "Divine Reflection Curse": Any debuffs will be reflected back to the caster]

【Effect 3 "Demonic Counterattack": While this armor is equipped, all damage received will accumulate (without limit). You can choose to release a portion of the damage received at any time. Current accumulated damage: 7890】

"Hmm, it seems like it can take a little more damage."

Mythical-grade equipment is significantly stronger than legendary-grade equipment.

Whether it's Thor's hammer or the Demon Dagger, Ji Yicui can easily break them if he's not careful.

Mythical-grade equipment is still top-tier even when used as a magic weapon by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"In that case, why not just completely abandon our defenses?"

"Let's see who's tougher."
