Chapter 2172 - 2157:

Upon hearing the two suggestions from Shi Feng, Jian Tong almost didn't hesitate and said:

"If I cultivate the Ghost Cultivator Technique, everything must start over, I don't want that!

However, would you be willing to give me a Divine Artifact of Triple Heaven Level to act as my host?"

Saying the last sentence, Jian Tong seemed a bit surprised and taken aback.

She couldn't help but feel astonished, not surprised, for that is a True God Third Heaven Level Divine Artifact, regarded in the Small World by the Five Major Factions as foundational, more important than life itself.

Being once part of one of the Five Major Factions, she knew better the significance of a Divine Artifact of Triple Heaven.

Shi Feng remained indifferent, not even thinking much, and said to Jian Tong: "Naturally, I'm willing, as long as you need it!"

"Oh? Really?" Upon hearing Shi Feng's words, Jian Tong smiled sweetly, looking very happy.

Then, she spoke again: "I told you, actually, you do love me."

Hearing this woman say such words once more left Shi Feng momentarily speechless, and then he replied: "The main reason is that you saved me; someone who saved my life; I will never forget in this life! I will repay you thousands of times over, as long as I'm able!"

This is the principle by which Emperor Nine Nether lives.

Upon hearing Shi Feng, Jian Tong immediately laughed sweeter and said to Shi Feng: "Then marry me."

"Alright, no more jokes!" Shi Feng said and quickly changed the subject: "I currently have five True God Third Heaven Level Divine Artifacts; which one do you want?"

"I want the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade!" Jian Tong said.

Originally, Shi Feng thought that since this woman came from the Jian Family, with Jian Family blood once flowing through her, she would choose the Sky Blue Divine Sword.

Even if not the Sky Blue Divine Sword, she might choose the Seal Heavenly God Sword, but unexpectedly, she chose the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade.

No matter what she chooses, as long as she wants it, he gives it.

Immediately after, with a thought, Shi Feng summoned the jet-black, ink-like Demon Blade into his left hand, the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade.

The entire Demon Blade emitted a supreme aura that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens itself. The blade was inscribed with densely packed ancient characters, each one exuding an extraordinary destructive aura, flowing with dark brilliance.

"Sky-Slaying Demon Blade!" At this moment, Jian Tong's eyes were focused entirely on this Demon Blade, using her mind to carefully sense this supreme Demon Blade.

"Do you know why I chose it?" Looking at the blade, Jian Tong asked Shi Feng.

"I don't know, but since you're asking, there must be a story behind it," Shi Feng said.

"It's not exactly a story!" Jian Tong laughed. "Well, I'd better not say more, lest you get jealous!"

"It seems there really is a story," Shi Feng said.

But since she wouldn't say, Shi Feng didn't ask, thinking perhaps over three thousand years ago, it involved a man.

Maybe something happened between her and a man from the Cao Family.

But what truly happened, who knows?

Then, Shi Feng extended the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade in his hand towards Jian Tong.

As an Artifact Spirit existing for over three thousand years, Jian Tong naturally knew what to do.

She reached out her hand to touch the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade.

At the same time, with a thought, Shi Feng saw the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade tremble abruptly; Shi Feng instantly dispelled the imprint within it.

Now that this blade belonged to Jian Tong, naturally, he did not leave his imprint.

And at the moment his imprint was dispelled, the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade began to tremble violently in his hand, as the Artifact Spirit inside fiercely struggled to break free.

At this time, Shi Feng remembered the existence of this Artifact Spirit and asked Jian Tong: "Do you need me to kill the Artifact Spirit within this blade?"

With Shi Feng's current means, eliminating this Artifact Spirit would be effortless.

However, to his surprise, she shook her head slightly at him and said: "No need, I'll subdue it myself!"

The Sky-Slaying Demon Blade had existed for endless ages, and the Artifact Spirit within, since its birth until now, had also existed for endless ages; its Realm had reached the True God Third Heaven, emitting incomparably evil destructive aura, no doubt extraordinary.

Yet unexpectedly, Jian Tong said she would just subdue it.

Then, Jian Tong smiled at Shi Feng, as if coquettishly, and said: "Of course, I need your help."

"Uh..." Shi Feng lightly groaned, then immediately understood.

Earlier, he really thought she had some mysterious means to counter the Artifact Spirit within the Demon Blade, but unexpectedly, the means were himself!

"Boom!" Instantly, a burst of Violent Thunder sounded, and from Shi Feng's left hand erupted an exceedingly fierce Demon Extinguishing Divine Thunder.

In Shi Feng's hand, the violently trembling Demon Blade was instantly illuminated by Dark Divine Thunder, and at the same time, the Sky Blue Divine Sword, Seal Heavenly God Sword, Lingxiao Divine Tower, and Void Map, four supreme True Divine Artifacts simultaneously appeared.

The next moment, the four Divine Artifacts simultaneously moved, simultaneously vibrating towards that Demon Blade.

"Boom!" Waves of supreme explosive sounds erupted as the four Divine Artifacts violently crashed down, trembling the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade in Shi Feng's hand more intensely, yet Shi Feng could feel that the Artifact Spirit inside the Demon Blade had been subdued under the assault of the four Divine Artifacts.

"Now is the time!" Shi Feng immediately shouted to Jian Tong.

"Understood, dear!" Jian Tong replied, then on the palm of her right hand, an ancient, mysterious Rune appeared, which she pressed onto the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade, imprinting her mark within it.

From then, both the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade and the Artifact Spirit within bore her imprint, thus subdued by her.

"Alright, I'll begin now!" Jian Tong said.

At this moment, her hand had gripped the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade, and with a thought, "Roar!" a sound akin to the furious roar of a giant beast erupted from the Demon Blade.

Then, a massive black shadow rose from the Demon Blade, resembling a supreme Evil Demon or a dark Supreme Beast.

This black shadow was precisely the Artifact Spirit of the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade, currently being expelled from the Demon Blade by Jian Tong.

Since the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade must become her host, she naturally couldn't share it with an apparently vile Artifact Spirit.

Immediately afterward, Jian Tong's figure gradually faded, and her soul finally successfully merged into the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade.

Subsequent events proceeded smoothly; the fierce Demon Extinguishing Divine Thunder also vanished from Shi Feng's body.

The Sky-Slaying Demon Blade hovered in the Void, and Shi Feng quietly waited for Jian Tong to fuse with it.

This fusion differed from when she was forcibly merged with a discarded sword through Secret Techniques by others.

Previously, despite exhausting all efforts, she couldn't separate from that discarded sword for over three thousand years, yet now, if a stronger Divine Artifact appears, she can freely abandon the Sky-Slaying Demon Blade and merge into a stronger Divine Artifact at any time!
