Chapter 634: Clone Jiang Chengxuan
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Chengxuan truly didn’t expect such an encounter upon entering this place.
He almost thought he had come across a second system.
However, the countdown in front of him quickly brought him back to his senses.
Without much hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan immediately chose to take on the challenge.
Buzz!
At the moment he made the decision to challenge, he suddenly felt his body enveloped by a strange force, similar to the dizziness experienced when using a super-large cross-region teleportation array.
When he looked up again, he found himself in a dense jungle.
Before he could fully react, a rustling sound came from not far away.
Then, ten early-stage Qi refinement beasts, known as Leopard Hounds, appeared in front of him.
Jiang Chengxuan recognized them at a glance as the most troublesome beasts at this stage of cultivation, a type of hybrid monster.
“Challenge the first level, slay ten Leopard Hounds.”
“Huh?”
Is this a stage-by-stage challenge?
Jiang Chengxuan was puzzled.
At the same time, he felt something was odd. As a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, capable of clashing with Soul Formation Heavenly Lords, he now had to “fight” against ten early-stage Qi Refinement beasts.
He didn’t know quite what to say.
[Ding.]
However, just as these thoughts flashed through his mind, a familiar system voice sounded in his mind.
[System mission issued. Host, please complete a hundred trial challenges.]
Huh?
If I didn’t pay attention, I would have thought that the voice here had sent me a message again.
ROAR!
Not giving Jiang Chengxuan much time to ponder, shortly after the mechanical voice ended, the ten Leopard Hounds, as if they had found something delicious, immediately drooled a yellow-green liquid.
After roaring at Jiang Chengxuan, they lunged at him together.
Huh?
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan did not rush to act but allowed the ten Leopard Hounds to collide with him, after which they exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
In that instant, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
Because he clearly saw that after the bodies of the Leopard Hounds were shattered into a cloud of blood mist, they quickly turned into dots of light and dissipated.
These creatures didn’t really exist.
So, what about me now?
Am I here in my true form, or am I just a consciousness, like those Leopard Hounds?
As a cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul, Jiang Chengxuan should not have such doubts.
But a certain intuition told him that he was not here in his true form at this moment.
If that’s the case, it’s quite horrifying.
What kind of power could deceive even a cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul like him?
Jiang Chengxuan had no more time to think as ten mid-stage Qi Refinement beasts suddenly appeared from the depths of the jungle right after the ten early-stage Leopard Hounds had all collided and perished against him.
Jiang Chengxuan was speechless.
It really was a step-by-step challenge.
ROAR!
Just like the Leopard Hounds, these ten mid-stage Qi Refinement beasts also all perished upon colliding with him.
After the death of these ten mid-stage beasts, what appeared next were ten late-stage Qi Refinement beasts.
This time.
Jiang Chengxuan almost understood.
It seemed that each challenge would involve facing ten opponents at a time, with the difficulty gradually increasing, until he either failed or succeeded.
And indeed, as Jiang Chengxuan had anticipated, after the death of the ten late-stage Qi Refinement beasts, what appeared in front of him were ten early-stage Foundation Establishment beasts.
Moreover, the environment around Jiang Chengxuan changed from a jungle to a desert.
Just like that.
Jiang Chengxuan continued his challenge.
From early-stage Foundation Establishment beasts to early-stage Golden Core beasts, then to early-stage Nascent Soul beasts, and even peak Nascent Soul beasts, he faced no difficulties.
Even against ten peak Nascent Soul beasts, Jiang Chengxuan could easily slay them all with his current strength.
But, after he simultaneously killed ten peak Nascent Soul beasts, what appeared in front of him was a person.
And that person was none other than Jiang Chengxuan himself!
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression finally carried a hint of seriousness.
He clearly felt a threat emanating from his counterpart.
He also received a message from the mechanical voice.
This time, it was the final challenge of his trial – to defeat the version of himself standing before him.
Whoosh—
In an instant, the opposite Jiang Chengxuan summoned a flying sword.
And that flying sword was none other than one of Jiang Chengxuan’s own intrinsic True Treasure, the Golden Void Sword.
Can even my own treasures be replicated?
With that thought, he realized that the divine powers and techniques could probably be replicated too.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he saw the opposite Jiang Chengxuan suddenly pull out a long saber from the void and slashed it straight towards him.
It was the divine power, the Azure Emperor’s Heaven-Slaying Saber!
BOOM!
The two sabers collided in mid-air, instantly unleashing an extremely powerful saber qi.
Accompanied by this, there seemed to be an aura of life and death intertwining and surrounding each other.
Jiang Chengxuan’s expression changed dramatically.
In the midst of the air, a deep sound resembling the dive of a fighter jet thundered.
Behind him, the clone Jiang Chengxuan had already activated the Roc Speed, harnessing the power of the Dragon and Elephant, and ferociously slammed towards him.
“You’re courting death!”
Crackling sounds came from Jiang Chengxuan’s body.
In the next moment, his body tempering technique was activated fully.
Two figures, like giant mountains, collided in the air relentlessly, fist against flesh.
They engaged in a barbaric and fierce battle, the most brutal skirmish imaginable.
BANG!
Suddenly, Jiang Chengxuan’s figure was sent flying by a punch.
However, before he was struck, he delivered a ferocious roundhouse kick to the clone Jiang Chengxuan, sending his body flying sideways.
BOOM! BOOM!
Two loud crashes were heard, and several mountains in the vicinity collapsed thunderously.
Amidst the rising dust and debris, the two formidable figures collided again.
This time, they both wielded their intrinsic True Treasure, the Deep Earth Halberd.
CLANG! CLANG!
Sparks flew everywhere.
The two halberds collided thousands of times in a single breath.
Mountains toppled, trees shattered, and the ground below cracked open, forming vast, bottomless ravines.
However, as the battle continued, Jiang Chengxuan began to sense something amiss.
The clone seemed to possess an endless supply of strength.
After such a prolonged fight, it showed no signs of exhaustion.
Its Dharmic power, breath, and strength remained at their peak, whereas Jiang Chengxuan’s physical and Dharmic power started to wane.
He even suspected that if the battle continued for days or weeks, the clone’s Dharmic and physical power wouldn’t diminish in the slightest.
This was a severe disadvantage.
If this were the case, it would be impossible for him to defeat the clone, whose Dharmic and physical powers were limitless and whose strength matched his own.
The only possibility of overcoming the clone was to master a technique that the clone hadn’t yet learned, but such a feat was easier said than done.
But how could this be so easy?
Gradually.
Jiang Chengxuan’s aura began to weaken.
He shifted from offense to defense.
While this reduced his expenditure of energy, his situation became increasingly dire.
Rumble!
Flames soared into the sky.
Jiang Chengxuan was sent flying hundreds of kilometers by the sudden explosion.
No, I can’t continue like this.
If this continued, I would definitely lose.
Suddenly, Jiang Chengxuan was struck with an idea.
The next moment, he suddenly closed his eyes.
Images of the previous battles flashed through his mind.
Gradually, the images seemed to form a pattern.
In such a state, the content of the Heavenly Calculation Technique suddenly appeared in his mind.
A mysterious aura suddenly appeared on his body.
“Wait, I could have been more aggressive in the fight just now,” he thought.
“In the previous clash, I could have taken advantage of his attack gap to activate the Roc Speed and land a fatal blow.
And in the battle before that, if my power had been more balanced, I wouldn’t have been hit by his strike.”
Suddenly.
Jiang Chengxuan reopened his eyes, the depth of his pupils now flickering with two silver-white lights.
He seemed like a high-speed calculating machine, quickly running through 276 potential countermeasures to the current situation in his mind, finally locking on the forty-ninth one.
BANG!
The Five Elements Aureola in front of Jiang Chengxuan flickered.
Just as it was about to collapse, he suddenly flew close to the ground.
In his hands, he condensed a Yin and Yang Divine Flame, which he threw out while simultaneously casting one, two, three, four, five, six, twenty-eight… a total of twenty-eight Level 5 spells in an instant.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the distant sky, continuous flames rose.
The clone Jiang Chengxuan’s figure was completely engulfed by the flames of the more than twenty spells, coupled with the Yin and Yang Divine Flame.
At that moment, within those spells, a wisp of golden flame seemed to be ignited.
It rapidly contacted and merged with the Yin and Yang Divine Flame, then exploded with an extremely unstable and terrifying energy.
This highly unstable energy caused the clone Jiang Chengxuan’s expression to change drastically.
However, before he could react, the three intermingling flames collided in a manner far more frightening, powerful, and explosive than anything seen before. They erupted right in front of the clone Jiang Chengxuan with an overwhelming force, creating a spectacular and terrifying explosion..
