Chapter 946 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

The spiritual vessel of the Blood Sovereignty Hall was incredibly sturdy, yet proved insignificant before the divine artifact broom. With a loud crash, the spiritual vessel that was about to take off plummeted straight down, creating a huge crater upon impact with the ground. The cultivators inside immediately streamed out one after another, and were utterly shocked at the sight of their adversary. "It's Tang Xin!" At this moment, the senior sister had already discarded her disguising appearance, reverting to her true form. She had considered disguising herself as a member of the Blood Sovereignty Hall to infiltrate their ranks quietly, but there was the risk of being attacked by her own allies. After all, if she were to act the part of a villain, she might outdo even the actual antagonists... "Protect the cargo!" Though this squad was not of the highest average realm, their quality was clearly a cut above the regular members of the Blood Sovereignty Hall. They quickly regained their composure, formed a circle around the spiritual vessel, drew their exquisite weapons, and prepared for battle. Previously, in her effort to rescue Nanxi, the senior sister had already expended the broom's powerful move, "The Janitor's Wrath". Now, she had no choice but to step in personally. "Yin Yang Divine Thunder, explode!" Tang Xin activated her technique, creating golden yang thunder in one hand and black yin thunder in the other, hurling them towards the cultivators beside the spiritual vessel. Boom, boom! The power of these thunder orbs was astonishing. Several cultivators put up barriers, attempting to protect the cargo within the vessel from damage, but they were blasted till their skins split and flesh burst. Other cultivators launched a counterattack, but the senior sister’s figure was as elusive as lightning, making it impossible to catch a trace of her movements. In a flash, Tang Xin appeared before a Nascent Soul cultivator, swinging her broom down at him. The Destruction Broom, now unlocked to its second form, possessed even more exaggerated melee capabilities than in its first form. The Blood Sovereignty Hall cultivator reacted with incredible speed, condensing a blood-colored membrane around his body and boosting his momentum to the peak. This membrane, one of the secret techniques of the Blood Sovereignty Hall endowed with a hint of void energy, could normally block attacks from high to peak Nascent Soul cultivators. Sizzle! Yet, as the broom made contact with the membrane, no matter if it was true qi energy or void energy, all were swept clean. The unyieldingly hard artifact sliced the Blood Sovereignty Hall cultivator into pieces, pulverizing him to literal dust. "Strategy Assistant Iv3: The enemy has sent out a distress signal, predicting rapid reinforcement. Please resolve the battle quickly," alerted the system. Tang Xin took a deep breath and proceeded to eliminate the remaining Blood Sovereignty Hall cultivators in the same manner. Then, she uncovered the wreckage of the spiritual vessel to locate the box inside. This box was made of an unusual material, leaving only a shallow imprint even when struck by the divine artifact broom. "Strategy Assistant Iv3: The box, forged from void meteorite, can withstand a direct hit from a Crossing Tribulation cultivator. The lock is made from core earth essence gold, one of the hardest materials in the world." "Tell me how to solve this." "Should I transform into my demonic form?" Ever since her training with Senior Xinghong, Tang Xin hadn't transformed into the white-haired witch for quite some time. Tang Xin took out her comb. This object had been with her for a long time, used numerous times, yet its appearance remained as ordinary as ever, betraying none of its magical functions. Even she couldn't tell the difference between it and a regular comb... It allowed her to exert all her demonic powers and could even distort others’ perception, making her appear completely as another identity in their eyes. This object might even be more magical than the Destruction Broom. "Hey, can you explain what exactly this comb is?" Taking advantage of the assistant's unpaid overtime, the senior sister casually inquired. "Strategy Assistant Iv3: The host's question is somewhat sensitive... The Hero's Comb is a manifestation of a power level higher than that of the Commanding Words. To be precise, it's not an object, but a force." "Not an object?" Tang Xin continued asking as she brushed her hair, "Can it be used in combat?" "Strategy Assistant Iv3: Theoretically, it's not possible... Don't ask this assistant for practical examples, I only deal with theory." With no one around, the transformation was complete, and the white-haired witch picked up the broom again. Though in recent years her righteous form had greatly advanced in strength, allowing her to defeat enemies of a higher realm, in comparison to her demonic form, there was still a noticeable gap. As she ascended in realm, her demonic power surged unbidden... The energy vastly different from her righteous form poured into the Destruction Broom, its surface swiftly cloaked in a layer of red light, its aura dramatically transformed. If just a moment before it had been a formidable battle broom, now it was a pure weapon of destruction, albeit still in the shape of a broom. The white-haired witch channeled all her power into the artifact at once, its glow becoming increasingly fierce until it shot forth as a beam of red light. With a whoosh, the propelled broom was deflected by the chains, spinning through the air several times before landing on the ground. After reverting with the comb, Tang Xin picked up the broom and carefully pried open the cracked chain. Inside the box lay a transparent coffin. Within the coffin was a young girl. "Huh," the senior sister remarked, "So I'm actually this beautiful." The girl inside, naturally, was the "senior sister", or rather, an experimental subject identical in appearance to the senior sister. However, compared to the previous specimen, this one possessed a charm that was "breathtaking". It was hard to say how this charm was generated. Although the figure looked identical to her own, just lying there, one couldn’t help but feel a compulsion to worship. Noble·Perfect·Serene·Majestic·Profound·The demeanor of a born ruler - an enhanced version of the senior sister... Damn, why do I, the original, feel inferior upon seeing this copy? "Strategy Assistant Iv3: Scanning... Material unknown, technology unknown, energy intensity unknown. Initial assessment, this body could at least withstand the power of a Crossing Tribulation. "Damn!" Had the Blood Sovereignty Hall actually managed to create a “material” capable of Crossing Tribulation? Given another soul, wouldn’t that create another powerful vice hall master? The most infuriating part was, the original hadn’t even crossed tribulation yet, and the copy already possessed such a formidable physique! "Strategy Assistant Iv3: This body was likely created based on the host as a blueprint, through a theoretical 'optimal deduction'. Simply put, this represents the theoretical limit the host could achieve through normal cultivation." "The best result?" Tang Xin’s eyes sparkled. "If I were to take her back for thorough research, could I significantly accelerate my cultivation? After all, they've already deduced the process. Shouldn’t I just need to learn from it?" "Strategy Assistant Iv3: Theoretically, it's indeed possible... However, this assistant still recommends the host to rely on her own efforts..."
