Chapter 372: The Power of External Incarnations (4k6)

Chapter 372: The Power of External Incarnations (4k6)



The land was riddled with scars, and two corpses with powerful auras lay casually on the ground.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the figure in the silver-patterned black robe.

Powerful! Cold! Ruthless!

Even as a Taiyi-grade Human, he could so easily toy with and slaughter his own kind.

Everyone felt a sense of awe towards this figure.

Immediately after.

A few top-tier Humans who survived the catastrophe approached Qin Zheng and said, "Qin Xianjun."

Qin Zheng's expression remained cold, and he didn't respond. Instead, he looked towards a certain void and flicked his fingers lightly.

Boom! Boom! Two streams of air compressed to the extreme shot out like flowing light into the void.

In the next instant, a dragon and a phoenix fell from the void, their heads already gone.

Boom! The massive demon bodies crashed onto the ground.

Then, two demon cores emitting immortal radiance burst out from the corpses of the dragon and phoenix, flying into Qin Zheng's hands.

At this moment, he turned around and looked at the top-tier Humans, speaking indifferently, "What's the matter?"

His tone was icy, as if devoid of warmth, causing the initially elated top-tier Humans to feel their hearts sink into an abyss.

However, these top-tier Humans, having cultivated for tens of thousands of years, did not show any change due to Qin Zheng's tone.

Harmony Xianjun bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, Xianjun Qin, for saving us!"

The others followed suit, bowing respectfully.

But when they raised their heads again, the figure in the silver-patterned black robe had already disappeared.

"Xianjun Qin seems different from before."

After a long silence, Fonian Ascetic hesitantly spoke up.

Not only had his attire changed, but his entire demeanor had also transformed.

His strength remained unwavering, but his personality seemed even colder than before!

"Don't overthink it."

Harmony Xianjun shook his head, paused for a moment, and then sighed, "We are too weak, and the burden he carries with the Absolute Immortal Sword is too heavy!"

At the same time.

Qin Zheng had already taken a step forward, returning to the City Lord's Manor in Town Ning.

His expression remained impassive, as if nothing had changed.

Back in his cultivation chamber, he waved his hand, restoring everything to its original state, and then sat down in a meditative posture.

First, he turned his mind's eye inward.

Within his inner world, over fourteen thousand dazzling stars slowly revolved, and at the highest point, a shadowy Dao Palace hovered.

Apart from that, there was nothing else!

Immediately after, he focused his mind on his heart sea, which was also empty.

In other words, this external incarnation did not possess the Great Dao's numbers or the virtue scrolls. This was the reason he allowed the two Taiyi-grade Humans to fight to the death.

He couldn't determine if killing them would grant him virtue, and at this moment, he couldn't establish contact with his original self.

These thoughts flashed through his mind.

After discarding these thoughts, his mind became calm again.

He didn't need to think too much; he only needed to protect this world while his original self was absent.

So he slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank deep into his body.

This body, nurtured by the Primordial Spirit Stone Heart, could sense its own subtle conditions more clearly.

He felt that within his body, there was a faintly visible gateway. He wanted to try and see if he could anchor its position and open it.

In the boundless void.

Qin Zheng slowly moved forward through countless enormous void spirit realms.

The deeper he ventured into the void, the larger the void spirit realms became.

Simultaneously, the demon aura emanating from them grew more intense.

As he drew closer, Qin Zheng noticed that these void spirit realms were covered with talismans emitting sealing power.

Demon Ruins!

At this moment, Qin Zheng confirmed in his heart that this was the Demon Ruins of the Celestial Demon Pavilion in the Qiong Lai Grand Realm.

In this boundless void, there were numerous massive void spirit realms filled with demon aura.

It was unimaginable how many powerful demons were sealed within these spirit realms.

If the Celestial Demon Pavilion members came here and released all the demons, the consequences would be unimaginable!

At the very least, the Spirit Ruins Realm would be shattered by this torrent.

Qin Zheng's mind slightly concentrated.

At this moment, he felt both the joy of discovering a treasure and the gravity of uncovering a calamity.

With the virtue scrolls, if he could slay all the demons here, he would undoubtedly accumulate an unprecedented amount of virtue.

However, with his current cultivation level, he might not be able to achieve this.

Not only were there numerous powerful demons, but there seemed to be Great Dharmaraja-level entities as well.

More importantly, the talismans covering the void spirit realms.

These talismans were seals, preventing the powerful demons within from breaking free.

Qin Zheng was unsure if he could enter these void spirit realms, and if he did, how it would affect the sealing talismans.

These complex thoughts surfaced in his mind one by one.

Suddenly.

At this moment.

He felt his consciousness stir, as if a strange yet familiar connection had formed.

Simultaneously, he could sense that he seemed to have control over the life and death of the connected existence.

Has an external avatar been born?

Qin Zheng's heart leaped with joy.

Then,

Buzz!

Within his Spirit Mind.

The Merit Scroll trembled.

Qin Zheng immediately detached a wisp of his consciousness, focusing on the Merit Scroll.

【Qin Zheng】

【Lifespan: Three Million Years】

【Cultivation Method: Primordial Golden Seal (Incomplete), Pure Chapter of Dao Scripture】

【Treasures: Great Dao Tree (Young), Holy Trinity Jade Ruyi (Damaged), Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying (Damaged)】

【Innate Merit: Sixty-Four Strands】

【Posterior Merit: Seven Hundred and Fifty-Six Million, Seven Hundred and Thirty-Four Thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty-Six Pounds, Three Taels and Seven Cash】

【Current.】

【.】

His information remained largely unchanged, but a new column appeared beside it.

【Qin Zheng's Clone】

【Lifespan: Three Hundred Thousand Years】

【Realm: Pseudo Taiyi Void Number】

【Abilities: Innate Spirit Heart, Heaven-Supporting Power, Stone Natural Power】

【Inheritance: None】

【Note: The Original Self can consume Merit to impart cultivation methods to the clone.】

Indeed, a clone has been born!

This was Qin Zheng's first thought.

However, as he examined the clone's information, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The clone's lifespan was only one-tenth of the original's, and its realm was not the same as the original's, but rather the Pseudo Taiyi Void Number.

With such a realm, how powerful could the clone be in battle?

Could it guard the Spirit Ruins Realm in his stead?

Moreover, in his expectations, he should be able to share perspectives with the clone and control it at will.

But at this moment, aside from the spiritual resonance and the changes in the Merit Scroll, there were no other alterations.

Could it be that the external avatar he had nurtured was more like an independent individual?

In that case, it would be somewhat beyond his control.

A person with the same appearance and possibly the same innate talents as himself.

Although he could control its life and death, if it secretly harbored rebellious thoughts unknown to him, it might cause trouble!

He had anticipated that the avatar born from the Primordial Spirit Stone would be different from ordinary clones, but not this different.

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Just then,

Hum!

On the Merit Scroll, a line of text suddenly appeared.

【Would you like to consume one strand of Innate Merit to establish a mental connection?】

Upon seeing this, Qin Zheng immediately chose to consume one strand of Innate Merit to create a mental link.

Then,

Qin Zheng felt a new thought emerge within his consciousness.

This thought was extremely pure, without any distracting ideas, only focusing on 'cultivation'.

At this moment, Qin Zheng also witnessed the memories of this thought, observing the events in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Meanwhile, in the boundless void on the other side.

Spirit Ruins Realm.

Town Ning City, within the City Lord's Manor.

A figure in cultivation slowly opened its eyes and spoke indifferently, "Original Self?"

After a few breaths, a voice resonated in its mind, "Can't you use the Primordial Golden Seal?"

From the clone's memories, Qin Zheng glimpsed its assessment of the Inner World and Spirit Mind.

He also learned that the clone lacked the Merit Scroll, Great Dao Tree, and Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying.

However, in the memory of the clone taking action, he didn't see it using the Primordial Nine Seals.

It relied on sheer power, brute force, to kill several Human Race Taiyi cultivators.

The clone maintained its indifferent demeanor and replied calmly, "One path cannot accommodate two travelers, and one Dao Palace cannot be shared by two."

"Although I am your clone, the Dao Palace within me is merely a shadow of your Dao Palace. I'm only borrowing your strength at the moment."

At this point, the clone paused briefly before continuing, "Therefore, the Dao Palace in my Spirit Mind is a projection of your Dao Palace."

"To advance to the Taiyi Realm, I still need to accumulate and condense my own Dao Palace."

"However, I already possess all the prerequisites for condensing the Taiyi Realm. I only lack the accumulation of Dao Essence, which, with sufficient martial arts and immortal techniques, shouldn't take long."

In the Demon Ruins, Qin Zheng listened to the clone's words and nodded slightly.

The external avatar born from the Primordial Spirit Stone had innate potential beyond his imagination.

If the clone's words were true, it was like another version of himself.

With exceptional talent, one can embark on an alternative path, unbound by the limitations of the original body!

The only regret is that the clone lacks the merit scroll, and those it slays cannot be rewarded with merit either.

"I understand."

Qin Zheng nodded and spoke.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "How much combat power can you exert if you go all out?"

Within the cultivation chamber, the clone pondered for a few breaths before replying, "Without the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent and the Great Dao Tree, I can reach ten percent of the original self's strength."

"With those two, I can achieve seventy percent."

In the Demon Ruins, Qin Zheng lightly nodded upon hearing this.

Without the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent and Primordial Nine Seals, the clone still possessed such formidable combat power, likely related to the innate abilities granted by the Primordial Spirit Stone Heart.

He immediately transmitted his voice again, "Then you guard the Spirit Ruins Realm well. If anything unexpected happens, I'll return at once."

After saying this, Qin Zheng temporarily closed the spiritual channel.

The channel had already been established, and with a mere thought, it could be reopened without additional merit consumption.

At this moment, Qin Zheng examined the information about the clone on the merit scroll.

It was evident that the clone couldn't cultivate either the Pure Chapter of Dao Scripture or the Primordial Golden Seal.

Therefore, the current clone lacked a cultivation method to reach the Great Demon Realm!

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, envisioning infinite possibilities for this clone. He couldn't casually find a cultivation method and hand it over to the clone.

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, he turned his gaze towards the massive Void Spirit Realm surrounding them on all sides.

With the clone's current combat power, it was sufficient to temporarily handle the crisis in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Being in the Demon Ruins, he could now let loose and take the opportunity to slaughter the Demon Race, accumulating merit! Simultaneously, he could collect Demon Cores and search for suitable immortal techniques to refine for the clone's cultivation!

At this moment, Qin Zheng dismissed the thought of returning to the Spirit Ruins Realm, instead focusing his attention on the numerous Void Spirit Realms before him.

He took a step, transforming into a stream of light and returning to the outermost Void Spirit Realms.

The deeper the Void Spirit Realm, the larger it was.

Qin Zheng decided to start with the smallest Void Spirit Realms on the outer perimeter.

Slow and steady, gradually swallowing the small to form the big!

If something unexpected happened, he was confident in his ability to handle the aftermath in these smaller-scale Void Spirit Realms!

With this in mind, he approached one of the Void Spirit Realms without hesitation, taking a step forward and entering.

Whoosh!

It was like passing through foam, incredibly light, without causing any changes.

But immediately after, an intense Demon Aura, mixed with a bloody scent, rushed towards him like a gale!

Roar!!!

Simultaneously, deafening roars of demons reverberated from all directions.

Qin Zheng's eyes instantly shone with dazzling brilliance.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

Even in the outermost Void Spirit Realm, there were so many demons!

He was determined to accumulate enough merit in this Demon Ruins to pave the way to the Great Dharmaraja Realm!

At the same time.

In the Spirit Ruins Realm.

In Town Ning City, at the City Lord's Manor.

Sensing that the original self had closed the spiritual channel, the clone closed his eyes and immersed himself within his body.

Without any martial arts or immortal techniques, he continued attempting to open the door representing the treasure trove of the human body!

Opening even one of them would trigger unprecedented changes!

Meanwhile, in the boundless void outside the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Within a yet-undiscovered Void Spirit Realm.

A black-robed man from the Celestial Demon Sect leisurely lay on a white jade bed.

Beside him, a graceful woman with an exposed expanse of snow-white skin looked at him with a charming expression, but a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Unintentionally, her gaze fell on the mirror on the black-robed man's chest, and a strong sense of fear flickered in her eyes.

Hum!

Suddenly, the mirror's surface stirred.

The woman was so frightened that her beautiful face paled.

The black-robed man chuckled, calmly patting the woman's white back, and then he picked up the mirror to examine its surface.

In the mirror, three soul lamps slowly extinguished.

The black-robed man's expression darkened.

Dead!

How long had it been since those three Taiyi Human Slaves died?

This ruined land was indeed extraordinary, and his decision not to follow them had been the right choice!

He felt a sense of relief at that moment.

But immediately after, a sense of distress arose.

Intense Battle:

With three Taiyi Human Slaves dead, the Celestial Demon Sect would surely be aware of the situation.

Soon, more powerful beings would arrive.

There was a high chance of encountering the Great Demon Realm!

When that happened, he might have no choice but to engage in battle!

As he considered this, he narrowed his eyes, gazing at the Void Mirror in his hand, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

By using the Void Mirror to teleport himself to a remote corner of the void, he might be able to avoid this calamity and wait for it to pass before emerging again!

With this in mind, he looked at the treasure in his hand and burst into laughter.

Void Mirror! Void Mirror!

It truly is an invaluable treasure!
