Chapter 640 - 541: Bloody Battle
The flames of the Eight Trigrams Furnace are extremely powerful. Clone Fifteen once used this flame to annihilate countless cultivators.
In his view, except for the Nether Tree, no one could extinguish the flame, yet such a thing happened right before his eyes.
His voice was filled with terror, and his heart was extremely alarmed. The flame is the ultimate and most formidable weapon of the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
If even he cannot deal with Zhao Yi, it means he has failed, and death is approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Clone Fifteen gradually calmed down, and his voice began to soften.
"Can you tell me what exactly is going on? What is the ability of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal?"
"And how can I fully understand the word ’break the phenomena’, so that I die clear-headed?"
Zhao Yi did not answer Clone Fifteen’s questions immediately.
He looked up at the Eight Trigrams Furnace and discovered that it had already cracked, with some fragments drifting away in the vast cosmos, gradually disappearing and becoming smoke.
At this point, Zhao Yi was certain that Clone Fifteen was doomed to die.
Only then did he begin to explain to Clone Fifteen.
"If it was you who confronted me last time, I would have surely died then. At that time, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal hadn’t acquired new abilities."
"It was precisely because of my confrontation with Clone Nine last time that the Nine Dragon Jade Seal acquired a new ability, which I just mentioned: ’break the phenomena’."
"It can obliterate all phenomena in the world. The Eight Trigrams are indeed formidable, but what they present is only a phenomenon."
"You have not been able to reach the highest state."
Zhao Yi did not say much.
As a top master, Clone Fifteen could understand with a simple introduction.
Sure enough, after a few words, Clone Fifteen fell into silence.
He remained speechless for a long time in mid-air.
At this moment, half of the Eight Trigrams Furnace had already turned into smoke, completely disappearing in the universe.
"Actually, from the very beginning, you already thought of a way to break the phenomena, but you never used it."
"I don’t understand why you want to do so. Is it a cat-and-mouse game that gives you satisfaction?"
Clone Fifteen’s tone was full of sadness and unwillingness.
Zhao Yi slowly shook his head.
"I never play cat-and-mouse games, nor do I immerse myself in such emotions."
"The reason I have not acted is because the Nine Dragon Jade Seal did not have the strong power to break the Eight Trigrams."
"I could only delay time, allowing it to accumulate strength. That’s why it did not make an appearance during the latter half of the battle."
Everything was laid clear before Clone Fifteen.
Clone Fifteen fell silent again.
When only a tiny fragment of the Eight Trigrams Furnace remained.
Clone Fifteen’s voice echoed again through the universe.
"I am indeed dying, but the battle between you and me is far from over."
"See the two black spheres in mid-air? They are the real enemies."
Along with Clone Fifteen’s voice filled with despair, the last fragment completely turned to ashes.
Only then did Zhao Yi notice the two black spheres in mid-air.
They did not disappear with the Eight Trigrams Furnace but persisted in the cosmos.
On the contrary, after Clone Fifteen’s death, the spheres’ brightness changed in a bizarre way.
From the initial white glow, they gradually turned to blue, and finally transformed into a red light.
This red light was extremely strange, ultimately enveloping an area of hundreds of miles around.
Zhao Yi suddenly felt like he was in a vast sea of learning.
"Master, these two creatures are extremely evil. Now, I still don’t know their true form."
"But one thing is certain; they are monsters of the cosmos, though which kind remains to be analyzed patiently."
"I know you said this power is strong and evil."
"It’s downright nauseating to behold."
Zhao Yi did not sit idly by.
He deployed the Time Law, intending to extinguish the spheres in time.
Yet whether in the past, present, or future.
The spheres showed no change.
They were unaffected by the Time Law and the Law of Life.
It left Zhao Yi deeply shocked.
If it were the Nether Tree’s clone possessing the power to oppose the Law of Life and Time Law, it would not be surprising.
But these were merely monsters in the vast universe, why could they possess such formidable power?
The answer in Zhao Yi’s heart gradually became clear.
The monsters before him were more powerful and terrifying than the Divine Technique clone.
Only this answer could explain it.
As the two spheres gradually grew larger, the red light began to materialize, transforming from light into blood.
For a time, a blood ocean surged, emitting a powerful stench.
Zhao Yi filled his body with purple light, using the strong purple aura to counter this act.
Simultaneously, Zhao Yi accumulated powerful force in his fist and rushed towards the spheres. He did not want to see the two monsters revert to their true forms.
If that happened, he feared he would again be plunged into a bitter battle.
Considering Clone Fifteen’s dying words, these two creatures were likely his painstaking acquisition, maybe even personally controlled by the Nether Tree.
Upon this thought, the power in his hand grew several folds stronger.
Zhao Yi’s mighty force struck the spheres.
The spheres trembled violently, with powerful energy erupting from within.
It propelled Zhao Yi dozens of meters away, and after stabilizing his stance.
The shell of the spheres also changed, with numerous cracks appearing on their surface,
accompanied by a roar, the monster inside the sphere slowly emerged.
Zhao Yi watched the beast emerge, feeling very tense, yet seeing the monster’s form almost made him laugh.
The monster had no eyes or nose, resembling a worm from the New World, entirely red, akin to chunks of meat in a kitchen.
"What kind of monster is this? I wonder why Clone Fifteen was interested in such a thing back then."
"Master, this creature is not easy to deal with. If I’m not mistaken, they’re called Blood Worms."
"The name may sound trivial, but what about their abilities?"
"These monsters do not feed on worlds, or Power of Laws, but on the cultivators of various worlds."
"They will drain all the blood from a cultivator they absorb, leaving the victim’s soul shattered, and their abilities taken by the Blood Worms."
"Judging by the length of these two creatures, they’ve probably killed at least a million cultivators to reach this extent."
Hearing the introduction from the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, only then did Zhao Yi realize the complexity of the situation.
He finally understood why Clone Fifteen said, things were just beginning.
Blood Worms that have absorbed a million cultivators means they possess a million laws of power, a million lives.
No wonder his Time Law could not kill them, as they could always substitute with any law of power.
Meaning he would need to kill them a million times or more.
"Master, what you’ve just thought is entirely accurate; it’s precisely that."
"In the cosmos, when cultivators see such a thing, they typically flee."
"Nobody dares to confront them, but in this situation, we fear we are incapable of running away."
The tone of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal was somewhat discouraged and dejected.
