Transcending Heavens: My Cheat Code is Myself

"Boy, let me tell you, this is a magical artifact standard issue for us underworld officials. You dare to covet it? I think you're just a newborn calf that doesn't fear tigers!" The giant ghost said coldly, trying to scare Chen Feng away with the artifact's legitimacy. However, he had clearly underestimated Chen Feng's greed, or rather, he thought Chen Feng was still in the dark. Little did he know that his greatest reliance had already been exposed the moment he showed himself.

"Lord of the Underworld, what are you saying? I don't understand." Chen Feng blinked his big, innocent eyes, which sparkled like those of a naive child.

The giant ghost was furious. "Damn it! If you hadn't done it twice, I might have actually believed you. You really think I'm a fool."

However, circumstances are beyond his control. The giant ghost now needs Chen Feng's help, so it's impossible for him to break ties with Chen Feng right now. After all, he's still tied up. In other words, even if Chen Feng gives him two electric cannons, he can only stare helplessly, powerless to fight back.

The giant ghost gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with reluctance. After all, with the death of the long-tongued ghost, the soul-snatching rope was now ownerless, and he wanted to keep it for himself. Once he told the other party the incantation to control it, he would probably have to leave empty-handed, not to mention that a pure soul was still bound to the chain.

As for devouring a pure soul in front of the other party, he could only say that he was oversimplifying things. Pure souls and turbid souls are inherently incompatible, so one must devour them slowly, like slurping ice cream. Forcing it will only result in a horrific self-destruction...

Wait a minute? Why should I be so honest? If I tell him the incantation and he releases me, and I just kill him, wouldn't the Soul Cleansing and the chains be back in my hands? Thinking of this, a dangerous glint flashed in the giant ghost's eyes, but he immediately pretended to be nonchalant, even managing a slight smile on his face.

"Alright, I'll take the loss. Kid, come closer." The giant ghost pretended that Chen Feng had gotten a great deal, and with a pained expression, he recited the incantation to Chen Feng.

He was about to recite it a second time. After all, the incantation was so long that no one could guarantee they would remember it all on the first try. If Chen Feng said the incantation didn't work and tricked him twice more, he would really be spitting blood.

However, before he could read it a second time, Chen Feng waved his hand to stop him, "Alright, alright, I've already memorized it, you don't need to read it a second time."

The giant ghost was so angry at the sight that his nose twisted in disbelief. He even changed his way of addressing the guy. Sure enough, this guy was faking it. He had been playing a trick on him all along. Damn brat! You wait! The moment you untie me, I will reveal my true form and tear you to pieces!

Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the other party's furious yet fearless expression. He thought, "Just because you're a mere vengeful ghost, you think you're some kind of ghost messenger? You think you've hidden your murderous intent so well? Little do you know, your every move is under my watchful eye."

"Boy, now that you've succeeded, release me at once." The giant ghost said with a gloomy face, full of displeasure.

"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll release you right away." Chen Feng smiled, making hand seals and muttering incantations.

As Chen Feng uttered the command, the chains binding his hands actually began to move. The giant ghost immediately showed joy, but beneath that joy lay a deep-seated killing intent.

Read it, read it, kid, I'll tear you to pieces in a second!

Meanwhile, Chen Feng, seemingly expressionless, was chanting a spell, but in reality, his inner joy had reached the heavens.

This was because after the giant ghost finished reciting all the incantations, a book called "Chain Forging Technique" spontaneously appeared in Chen Feng's mind.

That's right, the so-called incantation for controlling the chain is not an incantation at all, but a technique. This technique not only explains how to control a chain, but also explains in detail how to forge a chain. As for one's own natal chain, it does not need any incantation at all and can move at will, just like an arm.

The giant ghost was clearly unaware of the inside story and, like a fool, recited the precious technique directly to him.

"Almost there, almost there." Chen Feng was covered in cold sweat, still pretending to chant an incantation to deceive the giant ghost. Fortunately, the incantation was long enough, otherwise he would have really been exposed.

That's right. With Chen Feng's current progress in cultivating Zanpakuto, it's impossible for him to complete the entire "Chain Forging Technique". However, his experience with the Health Preservation Fist tells him that who says a technique has to be cultivated in its entirety? I can just cultivate a part of it.

Moreover, just to be on the safe side, Chen Feng had just secretly taken away the spirit particles that the long-tongued demon had transformed into, thus significantly advancing the progress of his Zanpakuto.

Damn it, Zanpakuto, hurry up and start deducing! Heavenly Deduction! Let me see your potential!

Fortunately, Tianyan's abilities were indeed outstanding. Before long, he deduced the new version of the Chain Refining Technique. That's right, this was the treasure that Chen Feng had searched for in the Chain Forging Manual.

As the name suggests, the Chain Refining Technique allows one to forge other people's chains into their own, thus obtaining a Soul-Hooking Rope for free without having to painstakingly forge it themselves.

Generally speaking, this Lock-Binding Technique is utterly useless; it's just listed to fill space.

Because such a thing is impossible. No one would hand over their soul-hooking chain to someone else. Please, this is something I painstakingly crafted, and it's my life-bound chain. What would I use it for if I gave it to you?

Do you really think there aren't poor ghosts in the underworld? If you want to steal it, the first thing you'll face is a desperate counterattack. Putting aside the possibility of mutual destruction, what if the other party has a moment of despair and self-destructs? Secondly, we're all in the system, what are you doing? Don't you want to work here anymore? Just for a soul-snatching rope? Are you out of your mind?

That's why this lonely, soul-snatching rope is all the more precious now.

At this time, most of the power of the chains was used to suppress the giant ghost and the girl Zhang Cuihua. Of course, the girl Zhang Cuihua was just there to make up the numbers; the giant ghost was the real culprit. Chen Feng, realizing this, was naturally unwilling to release them so easily.

At this moment, he was going to take advantage of the situation and force himself on the chains while they were powerless to resist. Today, these ownerless chains would belong to the Chen family.

When Chen Feng's soul power entered the chains at first, the chains tried to resist. But as soon as the chains resisted Chen Feng, the giant ghost struggled with all its might, as if it wanted to escape. Due to the previous orders, the chains naturally could not let the giant ghost go.

It had no choice but to obediently let Chen Feng's soul power slowly permeate it. Before long, Chen Feng had finished permeating all the chains, and it was finally able to begin the most important refining process. The Refining Chain Technique, which had already been cultivated, immediately displayed its great power. As expected of a technique created for free, it was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey once it had a chance to get something for free. It began to exert all its strength, grabbing whatever it could without thinking twice. In an instant, the Soul-Hooking Rope completely changed hands.

Instantly, all the chains' abilities appeared in Chen Feng's mind. Looking at the somewhat impatient giant ghost, Chen Feng sneered.

"No, why did you stop again?" The giant ghost was suddenly on the verge of a breakdown. Why did you suddenly sneer?

"Sorry, sorry." Chen Feng scratched his head sheepishly. At this moment, he didn't care whether he should give the giant ghost a nice look. After all, the giant ghost had actually helped him a lot, Chen Feng thought shyly.

“However, look, the chains will be unlocked soon.” Chen Feng pointed to the Soul-Hooking Rope, and immediately the giant ghost’s hands, which were bound by the Soul-Hooking Rope, showed signs of loosening.

The giant ghost was overjoyed: "Very good, very good, it seems I misunderstood you."

That's right, the giant ghost had never personally manipulated the Soul-Hooking Rope, and thought the current anomaly was normal.

Suddenly, the loosened part of the Soul-Hooking Rope tightened violently, its length increasing dramatically in an instant, and with a clattering sound, it stabbed violently towards the giant ghost's chest.

Chen Feng suddenly attacked, and the giant ghost was caught off guard and was immediately skewered like a candied hawthorn without any chance to fight back.

"you........"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Die!" Chen Feng cursed, "You think you can just dream about eating Miss Zhang? You're really delusional. Do you really think I can't hear you two? You're plotting in my ear. If you don't die, who will?"

The giant ghost's eyes widened in shock. "You...you can hear me?"

"Nonsense, of course I could hear you. I heard you clearly the whole time. What I said was just a ruse. I didn't expect you, you idiot, to actually believe it. It's hilarious. A stupid big oaf like you deserves to be tricked by me."

However, the giant ghost seemed to be in a daze, muttering to itself, "If you could hear me, wouldn't they all have been fooled? Four-Eyes, Four-Eyes, you're such a bastard! You actually tricked people!"

"What are you babbling about? Just die!"

It was a good time to test this new treasure. Chen Feng shook the chain in his hand, and the mysterious runes on the chain were immediately activated. Chen Feng's soul power surged into the chain as if water was being drawn from it, and a light red energy was released from the chain.

The moment it came into contact with the giant ghost, wisps of white smoke seeped out of the latter's body, followed by a shrill scream that resounded throughout the room.

"You're dead! No one gets out of here alive, you're dead."

After uttering those harsh words, the giant ghost could no longer hold on and, in a flash, scattered into countless spiritual particles.

"Damn, I didn't expect this move to be so mana-intensive. I was almost drained dry." Chen Feng wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, indicating that he should be more careful with this move in the future.

After sweeping away all the spiritual particles on the ground and obtaining the spiritual particles of the two great demons, the tsuba of the Zanpakuto became clear and distinct, and even the hilt part became somewhat clear.

After receiving this supplement, Chen Feng suddenly felt that the cultivation technique, which had previously been impossible to deduce, was now poised for rapid advancement.
