What a divine artifact, how could it be so fragile?

This is the only divine artifact of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

It's worth a lot of money on the market.

He hadn't even done anything with this sword yet, and it broke!!!

"Zhang Banxian, you don't think this is a counterfeit product, do you!"

Jiang Chen expressed great doubt about this.

He thought, unless it's fake, how could it be so fragile.

"Impossible, Master went to great lengths and expended true qi to send a divine artifact, how could he send a fake one? If it were fake, Master wouldn't have sent it."

That made sense.

Thinking about it, Jiang Chen summoned Omniscience and asked, "Isn't this a divine artifact of Dragon Tiger Mountain? Why is it so weak?"

"This sword no longer has a sword spirit. It's no different from an ordinary sword. Furthermore, due to its age, it's no different from a pile of scrap metal."

Omniscience only glanced at it and gave the answer.

If he had known that divine artifacts were so unreliable, he would have made thorough preparations before coming.

He had believed Zhang Daoren's words, thinking that with a divine artifact, he could handle even the most powerful demon.

Now, it seemed he could only rely on himself!

"Uncle-Master Jiang, what do we do now? Should we leave first and make a plan?"

Now that the divine artifact was unusable, they had lost their most advantageous weapon against the super demon and could only temporarily retreat to figure something out.

Besides, the demon's main body was sealed and wouldn't pose an immediate threat.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I'll try another method first."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out Zangetsu.

Looking at the thing in Jiang Chen's hand, which resembled an elongated cleaver, Zhang Banxian asked, "Uncle-Master Jiang, what is this?"

"A very powerful saber."

"Oh!" Zhang Banxian understood. Jiang Chen's Supernatural Ability was related to sabers, so he assumed this was one of Uncle-Master Jiang's abilities.

However, since Uncle-Master Jiang was thinking of a solution, he, as a disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain, couldn't just sit idly by.

He took out five purple talismans and said to Uncle-Master Jiang, "This is my most powerful spell. It can summon five bolts of heavenly thunder!"

"Heavenly thunder is the nemesis of demons, perhaps it will have an effect on the demon!"

"Okay, you try it first!"

Jiang Chen said, stepping aside.

Having someone help him weaken the super demon's strength was better than him struggling alone.

"Alright, Uncle-Master Jiang, I'll go first!"

Zhang Banxian was ready. He clasped his hands together and chanted, "Heavenly Thunder Spell - Decree of Urgency - Go!"

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"

The five black heavenly thunder talismans, along with his incantation, flashed with five bolts of pure black lightning.

The lightning writhed and danced.

Like a giant dragon coiling in the air, it let out a roar.

It struck towards the super demon's main body!

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

Five deafening sounds echoed around the altar.

The immense noise made Jiang Chen's ears ring.

He covered his ears and only recovered after a while.

Sensing his surroundings, he clearly noticed that the demonic energy within the super demon's main body had weakened significantly.

It seemed the heavenly thunder talismans were quite powerful.

Jiang Chen asked again, "How many more heavenly thunder talismans do you have?"

"I have thirty left, but my ability is limited. I can only use five at a time even with all my true qi."

Zhang Banxian naturally felt that the Heavenly Thunder Spell on the talismans dealt immense damage to the super demon's main body.

If it had happened a few more times, perhaps this super demon would have already been blasted into dust by the Heavenly Thunder.

Unfortunately, his true qi was insufficient.

The Heavenly Thunder Spell was originally an advanced spell, very difficult to master.

It consumed a great deal of true qi when used.

For someone his age to be able to use five Heavenly Thunder talismans at once was already quite good.

However, facing a demon far stronger than himself, it was still not enough.

"Leave the rest to me!"

With that said, Jiang Chen raised his Zanpakuto and began to hack at the Tianshan old demon's demonic energy.

With each slash, the spiritual veins entwined with the demonic energy noticeably decreased.

The surrounding demonic energy also grew fainter.

Just as success was within sight, an unexpected change occurred.

Omniscience suddenly appeared beside Jiang Chen, warning, "Stop!"

Stop?

He was about to succeed, why should he stop?

Although Jiang Chen was confused, he still ceased his actions.

He was about to ask for clarification as to why he should stop.

He saw Omniscience point upwards and say, "Look up?"

Up?

With a sense of confusion, Jiang Chen looked up.

What he saw was astonishing; he was immediately startled.

Above his head, a coffin had appeared at some point.

The coffin was entirely black, with demonic energy swirling around it.

And this demonic energy seemed to be growing stronger.

"This..."

"You severed the super demon's main body's demonic energy, and the demonic energy on this coffin grew stronger by a fraction."

"It seems some connection has formed between them. I need to extract your Soul Power to know the specifics."

Seeing Jiang Chen stop, Zhang Banxian, thinking something had happened, asked, "Uncle-Master Jiang, what's wrong?"

"Look at the top of your head!"

Jiang Chen pointed upwards and asked, "Do you see this coffin above?"

A coffin???

Zhang Banxian's attention had been entirely on Jiang Chen, so he hadn't noticed any changes around them.

After Jiang Chen mentioned it, he quickly looked up.

Upon seeing it, he was greatly alarmed: "Uncle-Master, I didn't expect this super demon to be Yin-Yang Unity!"

"This is bad!"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Chen had originally planned to have Omniscience extract his Soul Power to learn the truth, but now that Zhang Banxian seemed to know a lot, he wouldn't have to waste Soul Power.

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Zhang Banxian quickly replied, "This super demon is Yin-Yang Unity, meaning it has two souls in one body. We must destroy both simultaneously to truly destroy the super demon."

"Otherwise, if we only destroy one, the other main body will absorb the destroyed body's demonic power, and then it will break through the seal."

"The consequences then would be unimaginable!"

Destroy simultaneously?

This was difficult for Jiang Chen; he didn't know the Clone Technique.

He only had one Zangetsu Zanpakuto.

He couldn't destroy the two main bodies simultaneously.

Unless he could use two Zanpakuto at the same time.

And destroy them together.

In the world of Shinigami, besides twin Zanpakuto, one can only contract one Zanpakuto.

No one can wield two Zanpakuto simultaneously.

Firstly, one's own spiritual power is insufficient to control two Zanpakuto; forcing it would cause the spiritual body to collapse.

Secondly, Zanpakuto are proud; they will only choose a suitable wielder in this life, so there's no situation of contracting two different Zanpakuto.

With no reference points, Jiang Chen wouldn't risk his life.

Just then, Jiang Chen heard Sode no Shirayuki's call.

In the blink of an eye, he entered a world of pure white.

A beautiful woman with white hair, dressed in a kimono adorned with cherry blossoms, knelt before him.

"Please, master, use me!"

"I want to fight alongside master!"

"I also want to share master's burdens with my king!"

Jiang Chen hesitated. He wasn't sure if he had the strength to wield two Zanpakuto at once.

"Master, please let Sode no Shirayuki fight!" Sode no Shirayuki pleaded again.

In an instant, Jiang Chen made his decision. "Since you've asked so earnestly, I'll grant your wish!"

"Bankai!"

"White Mist Punishment!"

"Bankai!"

"Zangetsu - Heavenly Lock!"

Zhang Banxian stared at Jiang Chen, whose appearance had changed drastically, and was stunned.

Is he still human like this...?
