Chapter 599 - 599: Thunder Jade Bone, a Favor of Rebirth

Because she had absorbed the lightning, the Bone Woman's skeleton was no longer ordinary Jade Bone, but Thunder Jade Bone!

This type of skeleton was unprecedented. In the past, although some madmen had successfully tried to draw lightning into their bodies, they were living humans, not Demons!

For a Demon, simply not being obliterated by Celestial Thunder was difficult enough, yet she had actually absorbed it into her body and fused it with her Demon Power... This was the creation of a brand-new method of Cultivation!

I couldn't say for sure about other things, but one point was certain: the Bone Woman's future achievements would be absolutely extraordinary!

Perhaps Demon King and Demon Emperor would not be her limits. She might even be able to shed her demonic nature and attain an Immortal Body!

Zhao Yuan was genuinely happy for the Bone Woman's gains.

At this moment, however, the Bone Woman had not yet come to her senses.

Her Cultivation had actually ended, but her Divine Sense was immersed in a memory.

It was a memory from her past life, long since sealed away, only to be reopened by the surge in her power and the stimulation of the Celestial Thunder.

In this memory, the Bone Woman saw her living self—a fair-skinned, beautiful little girl with large, watery eyes, no more than twelve years old.

But that sweet, adorable face was filled with courage, determination, and composure! She wore a suit of heavy armor and held a Battle Saber taller than herself. Behind her followed a group of girls around the same age, each holding an iron cannon, a type of matchlock gun.

Behind them was a Japanese-style castle. Before them stood a horde of grim-faced soldiers.

Yet the little girl showed no fear.

Though young, in this moment, she displayed the air of a first-rate general!

She suddenly drew her Battle Saber, its brilliant flash as blinding as lightning.

"Attack!" the little girl roared in Japanese, commanding her all-female unit to charge the enemy!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Iron Cannons roared in unison like continuous thunder. The little girl spurred her warhorse, leading a dozen cavalrywomen as they howled and charged into the enemy formation. Like a hot knife through butter, they instantly pierced through the enemy lines! Along the way, she was unstoppable, claiming countless heads.

And with that, the Bone Woman's memory ended, and she returned to reality.

"Did you have a dream?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"I recalled some memories from my past life," the Bone Woman answered truthfully.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little curious. "Were they good memories, or bad ones?"

The Bone Woman shook her head and let out a long breath. "I can't say if they were good or bad. It seemed to be the memory of my first time on a battlefield."

Zhao Yuan then remembered that the Bone Woman had been a Female General in her past life. Not wanting her to dwell on any unpleasant memories, he patted her shoulder and said, "Being able to recall memories from your past life is already a great thing. By the way, you should check your body. I guarantee you'll be stunned by your gains."

The Bone Woman's curiosity was piqued. She did as he said and examined her body, and was then truly and utterly shocked.

THUD. The Bone Woman knelt before Zhao Yuan and kowtowed heavily, saying with heartfelt gratitude, "That I could have this day is all thanks to Master's guidance!"

This was no exaggeration.

Before being subdued by Zhao Yuan, she had served several others. But all of them had treated her as a mere servant, a tool. They only thought of her when they needed her, and cast her aside the moment she was no longer useful, ignoring her completely. Who among them was like Zhao Yuan? He not only taught her a suitable Cultivation Technique but also helped her forge this body of Thunder Jade Bone!

In the Bone Woman's heart, Zhao Yuan's grace was tantamount to giving her a new life!

Her loyalty to Zhao Yuan soared to its absolute peak! This loyalty came from the depths of her heart and soul; it wasn't something forced upon her by means like Soul Branding.

Zhao Yuan didn't stop the Bone Woman, waiting until she had solemnly completed three kowtows before helping her up.

After looking the Bone Woman up and down a few times, Zhao Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "Your strength has now entered the Great Demon Realm. With the Thunder Jade Bone, the power you can truly wield is probably not much weaker than a Cultivator at the Late Stage of Serenity. It's just that your current weapons are unworthy of your strength. I'll keep an eye out for materials during this time and try to gather them as soon as possible to forge you a suitable Magical Artifact as a weapon."

"Thank you, Master!" A look of joy appeared on the Bone Woman's face.

Just as Zhao Yuan said, the weapons she used now were either ordinary sabers and swords or the wakizashi left behind by that mysterious Lingzi. Before, these weapons were serviceable enough. But with the massive increase in her strength, they were now completely useless to her—she might as well fight bare-handed!

If Zhao Yuan could really tailor-make a suitable Magical Artifact for her, her combat prowess would undoubtedly rise to another level!

Besides, the Bone Woman had been a Military General in her past life! The pursuit of a good weapon was already engraved in her very bones. Even after becoming a Demon, this desire had not faded.

"Oh, right. Take this Storage Ring." Zhao Yuan took out a new Storage Ring and tossed it to the Bone Woman.

The Bone Woman clearly hadn't expected Zhao Yuan to give her a Storage Ring and was instantly thrilled.

"Your Human Skin Cloak was destroyed in the Thunder Tribulation just now. Go ahead and draw a new one." Zhao Yuan took the necessary tools and materials from his Storage Ring and handed them to her.

The Bone Woman nodded. With one successful experience under her belt, drawing the Human Skin Cloak was much faster this time. A little over half an hour later, a brand-new Human Skin Cloak was finished, and the Bone Woman draped it over herself.

Zhao Yuan then took out a set of women's clothes he had prepared in his Storage Ring for her to put on. He was about to leave the rental apartment.

"After a whole day of Cultivation, I'm starving. I have to get something to eat right away! Plus, after I eat, I need to find a prime piece of real estate in Rongcheng City to buy a house."

As he spoke, Zhao Yuan had already opened the door.

"Master, wait," the Bone Woman called out, but it was obviously too late.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Zhao Yuan asked, turning his head.

Before the Bone Woman could answer, a shout of alarm came from outside: "Pervert!"

Zhao Yuan turned back and saw a middle-aged woman with a waist like a water barrel from the same floor, screaming in the hallway while holding a basket of vegetables. Next to her was a thin middle-aged man who was looking back and forth between him and the Bone Woman with a sleazy grin.

'How am I being a pervert?' Zhao Yuan was completely bewildered. Just then, a sudden breeze blew past, and he felt a distinct chill between his legs. He looked down, only to realize he was completely and utterly naked...
