Long arcs charged through the whirlwind in the galaxy. Su Ming was in front, and Hu Zi was by his side. As for the bald crane, it lay on Hu Zi's shoulder and continued trying to bewitch him in a low voice. Gradually, Hu Zi grew annoyed, and he grabbed the bald crane's neck to send it into the distance, but in the span of a few breaths, the bald crane appeared again and lay on Hu Zi's shoulder to continue trying to bewitch him.
Su Ming's expression was calm. The third eye at the center of his brow was open, and it shone with a strange and enchanting light. He stared at the whirlwind in the galaxy, and with it, he could see a silver thread stretching into the depths of the whirlwind.
That silver thread was the mark left behind by Su Ming's divine sense when he struck the top of the clone's skull. Through it, he could find the clone's location.
Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month went by. During that time, Su Ming charged through the galaxy in search of the silver thread and drew closer to his clone.
His clone, who had gained his own consciousness, had clearly noticed Su Ming's arrival and was also charging into the distance, continuously changing directions in an attempt to shake him off.
But no matter how he tried to flee, he could not escape from Su Ming's grasp. On the nineteenth day of the chase, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He took a step into the air and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already far away, standing beyond a broken planet.
Almost at the instant he appeared, he saw the silver threads stretching into the broken planet with his third eye. As he magnified them, Su Ming saw the clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole sitting cross-legged and meditating on a mountain in the planet.
At the instant Su Ming looked towards the clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole, the black-robed clone lifted his head and stared at the sky coldly. His gaze met Su Ming's.
A cold sneer appeared at the corners of Su Ming's lips. At that moment, Hu Zi and the bald crane arrived, and their gazes landed on the broken planet.
"Hu Zi, guard this place. My clone is rather cunning. He must have made preparations when he chose this place. If he wants to escape later, you have to stop him.
"Baldy, guard this place. Su Ming lifted his finger and pointed in the direction right before him. Hu Zi grinned and disappeared with a single move. When he reappeared, he was already at the spot Su Ming had requested.
The bald crane quickly patted its chest, looking as if it wanted Su Ming to be completely at ease. A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He stared at the broken planet, and the cold sneer on his lips grew wider. The clone's personality was very similar to his own. Since he chose this place, he must have set up an ambush. But no matter what sort of preparations the clone had made, Su Ming did not intend to step into the broken planet. Instead, he lifted his right hand, and the ring on his right hand shone. A ripple spread out and surrounded his palm. Su Ming formed a seal and flung his arm. A large number of ripples turned into circles that charged towards the broken planet.
When the ripples touched the planet, it shuddered. A large number of cracks spread out with cracking sounds. In just the span of two breaths, booming sounds reverberated in space, and the planet crumbled.
As it crumbled, Su Ming took a step forward like a bolt of lightning and stepped into the crumbling planet. He lifted his right hand, formed a seal, and pointed forward. With it, he sliced through space and changed the laws in the land. He released the power of Fate Realm and charged towards the center of the clone's brow while the planet crumbled. Then, he pointed at the center of the clone's brow.
He was so quick that he instantly closed in on the clone, but the clone seemed to have known that Su Ming would do this. Not a hint of panic could be detected on his face. Almost at the instant Su Ming closed in, he lifted his right hand, clenched his fist, and let out a low growl. His body instantly squirmed, and he threw a punch at Su Ming.
At the instant the punch collided with Su Ming's finger, a deafening boom shook the sky and earth. A huge force swept towards Su Ming from the clone, causing him to freeze for a moment, but it was only for a moment. No matter how strong the clone was, he was still a clone, and it had only been a short time since his independent will had appeared.
Su Ming let out a cold harrumph. He flung his cultivation base forward through the finger formed by the seal formed by his right hand. Immediately, booming sounds shot into the air, and the clone coughed up a huge mouthful of blood. He staggered backwards and was forced back thousands of feet.
Yet at that moment, Su Ming's pupils shrank. The clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole being forced back was within Su Ming's expectations, but being forced back thousands of feet was a problem.
Almost at the instant Su Ming noticed it, a ferocious smile appeared on the clone's lips. There was even a hint of derision in it. He lifted his hands and pushed his palms together in front of him, and a voice Su Ming was familiar with tumbled out of his mouth.
"Write the script underground, this will be the grave!"
Once he said those words, the clone lifted his hands and formed a seal before pointing forward. Immediately, the shattered planet came to a swift halt as it tumbled backwards. In the blink of an eye, it no longer crumbled. Instead, it shrank, making it seem as if time had been reversed, but in truth, it was due to the clone's divine ability.
In an instant, the shattered planet gathered together once more, but it was no longer the exact same planet as before. Instead, it was a lone grave formed by countless shattered stones!
The grave was like a seal. There were countless bolts of lightning swimming on its surface, and they let out crackling sounds as they completely sealed Su Ming within. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The clone's personality was practically the same as Su Ming's. They were both incredibly cunning. He had predicted that Su Ming would definitely chase after him, and once he caught up to him and saw that he was on a planet, he would guess that there was something off about it. The possibility of him coming personally was not high, and there was a higher possibility that he would destroy the planet in the world outside.
Yet no matter what, as long as Su Ming got close, the clone that practiced the Art of Cultivating Hollow Shadows Whole would execute the Underground Script of Cultivating Hollow Shadows Whole. He was betting that Su Ming still did not understand him, betting that Su Ming always believed that he was only skilled in physical Arts.
The instant the seal was formed, the clone threw his head back and roared. His entire body was immediately drenched in blood. In the blink of an eye, he was practically covered in blood, but when he did so, wisps of silver light were forced out of the center of his brows. All of this lasted for about the span of three breaths. When Hu Zi's expression changed in the distance, he closed in with a furious roar. At the instant the clone closed in on him with a furious roar, the clone threw his head back and laughed loudly. He finally forced out all the silver wisps at the center of his brows. He moved, and with a ferocious smile, he lifted his right hand and hurled a punch at Hu Zi.
Booming sounds echoed in the air. Hu Zi shuddered and was forced back several thousands of feet. He coughed up a mouthful of blood. When he lifted his head, he found that the clone did not chase after him. Instead, he turned into a long arc and left into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the whirlwind. Only the clone's laughter echoed in space, along with his wild and untamed voice.
"My real self, without the silver wisps hidden in my body for you to track, I'd like to see how you'll catch up to me. Don't worry, I can tell you where I'm going. Even if you destroy the third Heavenly Incense and cut off my path of copying it, it'll be fine. I'll go to the other True Worlds and search for Su Xuan Yi. I believe that he will be very interested in me. When I have enough power, I will devour you and replace you …" The clone's laughter gradually faded away, and he could no longer be seen.
With a bang, the gigantic tomb of shattered stones sealing Su Ming crumbled. Su Ming walked out with a dark expression on his face. He cast a glance at the galaxy in the distance, and a hint of derision shone in his eyes.
He had indeed not expected that the clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole would be in control of his divine abilities instead of just relying on his physical power. However, what the clone did not know was that Su Ming would never only make one preparation when he did things. Besides the silver wisps, the clone also had another trump card.
That was the golden color of his personality that had fused with the Hollow Swallowing Clone. Even though the Hollow Swallowing Clone had severed his soul because he had gained sentience, the golden personality still existed in the Hollow Swallowing Clone's body. It was just that it was so dim that the Hollow Swallowing Clone could not detect it.
However, due to the existence of the golden personality and the fact that it had been born from his body, the clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole was like a torch in a world of darkness in Su Ming's eyes. He was incredibly clear.
"Hu Zi, go back and search for eldest senior brother and the others. We'll build the Ninth Summit together. This clone of mine is very cunning. I'll need some time to capture him. Once I subdue him, I'll go look for all of you." Su Ming turned his head around and cast a glance at Hu Zi. He lifted his right hand and swung it. A gentle power immediately surged out and seeped into Hu Zi's body, healing most of his injuries. Hu Zi looked at Su Ming, and after a moment of hesitation, he still chose to agree to it.
After all, the clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole was incredibly strong. Hu Zi's level of cultivation might be extraordinary, but the difference between him and the clone was too great. If he followed Su Ming, not only would he not be of any use, he would instead become a burden to him.
"Hu Zi, you're the best at the Relocation Rune to Morning Dao Sect. When the time comes, help me break it. I want to go to Morning Dao Sect and see whether there are any survivors there. Besides, Morning Dao Sect's mountain base can also be used as the Ninth Summit's base.
"And … the Predecessor of Dao Ocean is also there …" Su Ming wrapped his fist in his palm towards Hu Zi and sent out a ripple that could repel whirlwinds. Once it appeared under Hu Zi's feet, he turned around and turned into a long arc. The bald crane quickly followed after him and disappeared in an instant.
Hu Zi watched Su Ming leave into the distance, then stood in the galaxy. A hint of determination appeared on his honest face.
'Cultivation! I must have an even stronger level of cultivation! I can't let them fall too far behind me! I must become stronger!' With resolve in his eyes, Hu Zi turned around and turned into a long arc that left into the distance.
Su Ming was so fast that he shifted. With the supreme treasure, when the ripples spread out, the whirlwind could not affect him in the slightest, causing him to become even faster. In just a dozen something breaths, he sensed the clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole in his heart.
'No matter how strong the clone's physical body is, he won't be able to walk too far in the whirlwinds. He might have already reached his limit just now.' A freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes, and he took a step forward.
