"Younger brother?"
Seeing the identical face and the same soul aura, the deity was stunned for a moment. "Is this your doppelganger? It's a treasure that can allow your clone to possess strength comparable to your main body. That's great! You'll be mine as well! "
There were some in the Azure who could forge clones, but most of them were puppets that lacked soul.
The clone before him looked exactly the same as his main body, and it even had a unique spirit to it. This meant that the artifact used to forge a clone was one of the best even in the Azure. If he could forge a clone with such an artifact, it would be as good as gaining an additional life. He would not have to worry about danger anymore!
With reddened eyes, the deity raised his hands.
"From today onward, you're mine!"
Boom!
A powerful surge of energy burst forth from the deity's body, but before it could even reach him, the deity's vision suddenly blurred.
Unbeknownst to him, his clone had already appeared before him, and with a kick to his face, he bellowed, "You want to assimilate me? Who do you think you are? "
"You …"
The deity's lips twitched. Just as he was about to speak, the deity's vision darkened once more. The other party had already sent a second kick over.
Peng!
He was sent flying.
"This is impossible!"
The deity exclaimed with a frenzied look on his face.
It was not because he had been struck, but because he could not believe what he was seeing.
The clones of other cultivators were usually weaker than their main body. How could this fellow's clone be so much stronger than his main body?
Was there any justice in this world?
"There's nothing impossible about it. My main body is just a weakling. How could he possibly compare to me?"
With a cold sneer, his clone charged forward once more and sent another kick toward the deity.
Zhang Xuan had been suppressing his cultivation all this while, such that he was only at Sempiternal realm consummation. However, his clone was a God artifact in its own right, so there was no need for him to suppress his cultivation. A month ago, he had already made use of the Aeon of Ancient Sage to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, making him a true Blood Reincarnation realm expert!
Even Zhang Xuan would not be a match for his clone when they were at the same cultivation realm, and there was a gap of three realms between them. Only with the Dragonbone Divine Spear would he be able to match his clone.
"That's even better. If I assimilate you, my clone will grow stronger too!"
Despite being kicked a few times, the deity did not get angry. Instead, he became more and more excited. With a shrill cry, he charged forward, intending to use his ultimate move to kill the arrogant clone. However, the deity's vision suddenly darkened once more. A book flew through the air, and a pitch-black palm flew toward him, striking him squarely in the face.
Pa!
He spun twice on the spot and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What is this?"
God was really going crazy.
What kind of trump cards did this guy have? The brick, the clone … and now, a book …
More importantly, he could clearly feel the power hidden within the book, and it was no weaker than his!
Hu!
While Zhang Xuan was still in a daze, Zhang Xuan charged forward with a spear in his left hand and a sword in his right. In an instant, spear qi surged forth like a dragon, and sword qi as vast as the ocean.
At the same time, his doppelganger and Vicious attacked simultaneously.
Bang bang bang bang!
In less than ten breaths, the deity had suffered no less than a hundred palm strikes. His internal organs were displaced, his bones shattered, and there was not a single part of his body that was intact.
"No …"
The deity was starting to feel fear.
He had thought that he would be able to reap great benefits from the spatial rift, but who could have known that he would die at any moment?
Just Zhang Xuan alone was enough to put him in a difficult position. Now that he was facing two opponents who were of equal strength or even stronger than him, there was nothing he could do!
Fear and panic welled up in the depths of his heart. He quickly executed two feints to escape, but the brick suddenly fell from the sky once more.
It was as if that fellow had been hovering in the sky all this while, ready to strike his face at any moment.
Peng!
The next moment, the spear and sword pierced through his chest simultaneously. Following which, a fist crushed his head, and a palm crushed his heart.
Putong!
With a look of indignation on his face, the deity plummeted from the sky.
He had descended to the lower worlds with the intention of stealing, but in the end, he had lost his life.
"The blood and corpse of an expert of that caliber are good stuff …"
After killing the deity, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, he stowed the corpse into the Myriad Anthive Nest.
The deity was a Dimension Shatterer realm expert. Keeping his corpse and blood would surely be of great help to him in achieving a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.
Zhang Xuan had his clone and Vicious enter the Myriad Anthive Nest as well before heading back to the elevated platform.
…
On the elevated platform …
After recuperating for a long time, Ancient Sage Yan Qing finally struggled to his feet. He looked at the shattered space in the distance with a worried look on his face.
"Ancient Sage Yan Qing, is that the human Celestial Master Teacher you mentioned, Zhang Xuan?"
Kong Shiyao asked as she flew over.
Even though she was still able to fly, she had exhausted all of her strength.
"Un." Ancient Sage Yan Qing nodded.
"He's indeed an extraordinary individual …" Kong Shiyao nodded in admiration.
She had been born with a powerful bloodline, such that no one had been able to match her since she was young. She had thought that she was the strongest beneath Ancient Sage, but who could have thought that the young man before her would be even stronger than her?
When she first heard about the young man before her, she had been curious about him. She had been thinking of challenging him to a duel after she achieved a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, but from the looks of it, there was no need for that anymore.
Even after exhausting her bloodline power, she was still unable to stop the deity. Yet, the young man was still able to fight him and lure him away. Just this alone was enough to prove that the young man was stronger than her.
"He might be powerful, but he's still a little lacking compared to the deity of the Azure. I fear that he might be in danger," one of the Ancient Sages said worriedly.
He had already been reduced to a skeleton, so he would not die for the time being. However, without the Aeon of Ancient Sage to replenish his energy, it would not be long before he ran out of energy and his soul dissipated.
"Given our current situation, not only are we unable to save anyone, we can't even stabilize the formation!"
Ancient Sage Yan Qing was also aware of this as well, so he looked at the sky with a bitter smile.
Even though the deity had been lured away by Zhang Xuan, that did not mean that the danger was over. The seal that had been maintained by Ancient Sage Zi Yuan's corpse had already been broken, and the mercury-like energy was still pouring into the Kunxu Domain. If they did not hurry up and seal it, the cultivators of the Kunxu Domain would have their meridians shattered and their bodies torn apart.
This was a matter that could very well lead to the annihilation of their entire Kunxu Domain.
"The mercury-like energy isn't something that can affect the Kunxu Domain so quickly. Our top priority right now is to kill that deity, or else the entire Kunxu Domain will be infected!"
Kong Shiyao said.
As long as they did not absorb the mercury-like energy, they would be fine for the time being. However, as long as the deity did not die, he would continue to slaughter the Kunxu Domain. With no one from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers able to stop him, the danger would be even greater!
"Indeed. Even if we have to die, we have to kill that deity!"
The crowd gritted their teeth. Just as they were about to chase after the deity, a young man suddenly flew over gracefully.
He was dressed in a spotless white robe, and there was a faint smile on his lips. There was not the slightest injury on his body, as if he had gone on a vacation instead of a battle.
Who else could it be other than Zhang Xuan?
"You … are you fine? Could it be that … the deity has been killed? "
The crowd was rendered speechless.
