Chapter 178: Phantom Clone
Cleaning the dust? The term is used for welcoming guests, what does Yang Chen intend to do? Long Xiao, the Heavenly Emperor, sensed something ominous.
"Long Xiao, the Celestial Emperor, my Shadow Killing Immortal Kingdom is too small to accommodate a great Buddha like you. If you really want to stay for a meal, then the Northern Territory of Huicheng Tianzhou will serve as your fee," Yang Chen teased.
A meal and a territory! This must be the most expensive dinner ever. Of course, with such a price, he certainly wouldn't buy it.
"Hmph, I still have matters to attend to. Today's wine will have to wait until ten years later. In ten years, I will drink with you properly!" Long Xiao, the Heavenly Emperor, said, and after finishing his words, he vanished into thin air. However, Yang Chen knew through the red rain falling from the sky that Long Xiao had not left but was hiding in some corner, watching everything.
The Celestial Sovereign followed Yang Chen into the Lingxiao Palace. There was no feast as Yang Chen had mentioned, but the Celestial Sovereign did not mind. Once Yang Chen sat on the throne, he asked, "Why has the Shadow Killing Celestial Emperor brought me to the Lingxiao Palace?"
The Celestial Sovereign knew that if he did not speak first, Yang Chen would definitely not say anything. In such a stalemate, both the Life Sovereign and the Soul Celestial Sovereign could encounter changes. Although neither of them was in any danger at present and it was merely a standoff, this was Shadow Killing's territory—Yang Chen's home ground! No one could be certain whether Yang Chen had a backup plan or the possibility of keeping both of them forever.
"I just want to have a good talk with you, Celestial Sovereign. In haste, the banquet is not ready yet. However, I have already given orders that once the Life and Soul Celestial Sovereigns perish, there will immediately be a grand banquet to welcome you," Yang Chen said.
"If I join forces with the other two Celestial Sovereigns, can the Shadow Killing Celestial Emperor withstand it?" The Celestial Sovereign asked playfully.
"This is also why I invited you alone into the Lingxiao Palace. How about we make a bet?" Yang Chen said calmly. The Celestial Sovereign frowned and replied, "What kind of bet?"
"I will lose to you once while simultaneously slaying one of the two major Celestial Sovereigns. Then you can decide whether to stay or leave," Yang Chen said softly.
"I know you were able to defeat Long Xiao, the Heavenly Emperor, but that was under circumstances where he underestimated you; otherwise..." The Celestial Sovereign said.
"Precisely because of that underestimation by Long Xiao, I had the opportunity to take his life. However, because of the Long Xiao Empire, I spared him. Now that he dares to offend my Shadow Killing Immortal Kingdom again, I will ensure he remains here forever!" Yang Chen said confidently.
"Are you really that confident?"
"Why not? Do you want to bet?" Yang Chen looked at the Holy Annihilation Sovereign and said, "If you join the Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom, then the Dragon Emperor will no longer be able to harm you."
After a moment of silence, the Holy Annihilation Sovereign frowned and said, "Fine, I will bet with you!"
"That's great. I believe you won't regret this decision," Yang Chen smiled and said, "If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me, even if it means my death at your hands."
"Rest assured, I won't hold back."
"I won't either!"
"Ghostly Flash, Wind and Thunder Move!" Yang Chen leaped out of Lingxiao Palace, with the Holy Annihilation Sovereign closely following.
"Spirit Possession devours Creatures!"
"Demon God Wings Shatter the Sky!"
"Demon God Descends!"
"Demon God Body!"
"Demon's Favor!" Suddenly, Yang Chen's entire body turned snow white, with black wings sprouting from his back. His eyes were one green and one gray. In his left hand was the Demon’s Kiss, while his right hand held the green Dragonweave Sword, which was entwined with the Curse effect of Demon’s Favor.
"Ghostly Step!" Yang Chen initiated the attack first.
“Dueling Saint Realm? This kind of secret technique is truly extraordinary!” Holy Annihilation Sovereign said, as a pure flame appeared in his right hand.
“Transform, Holy Annihilation Sword!” Holy Annihilation Sovereign shouted, and then the Holy Extinguishing Fire in his right hand instantly transformed into a sacred Longsword. However, this Holy Annihilation Sword had no hilt; it was tightly wrapped around Holy Annihilation Sovereign's right hand at the hilt position.
In this way, no matter what happened, the Holy Annihilation Sword would not be knocked away. Just as Holy Annihilation Sovereign had just transformed the Holy Annihilation Sword, Yang Chen rushed forward, and Holy Annihilation Sovereign leaped up with the sword.
“Clang!” The two swords collided, producing a crisp sound, and then the two moved apart. Demon's Kiss stealthily lunged toward Holy Annihilation Sovereign's lower abdomen.
“Clang! Another crisp sound as the Holy Annihilation Sword blocked the attack from Demon's Kiss, and then the two separated.
“Ghostly Flash, Wind and Thunder Move!” Yang Chen did not give Holy Annihilation Sovereign any time to react. Instantly, he appeared behind Holy Annihilation Sovereign.
“Death Gaze!”
“Cross Quivering Sword Style (Wan Zhan)!” A flurry of green light flickered. Although there was no enhancement from the Demon God's heart, Yang Chen was still able to unleash tens of thousands of sword strikes.
“Bang!” The sound of shattering glass echoed in Yang Chen's ears as the figure of Holy Annihilation Sovereign shattered before him.
“Whoosh!” A low wind howled from behind. If it weren't for Yang Chen comprehending the essence of wind through Thunderous Movement, he might not have noticed it. He drew his sword to block,
“Clang!” Then with his right hand holding the sword, he swung the Holy Annihilation Sword in a semicircle and broke through with a single strike of Holy Extinction, thrusting directly toward Holy Annihilation Sovereign's chest. At that moment, the Holy Annihilation Sword could no longer defend itself, especially since Holy Annihilation Sovereign was not adept at speed and could not escape from this state of Yang Chen. In desperation, Holy Annihilation Sovereign drew his sword to stab at Yang Chen's lower abdomen, targeting the position of his Dantian. Seeing this, Yang Chen remained calm and recklessly thrust out his Dragonweave Sword.
“Puff!”
“Clang!”
"What!" Celestial Sovereign exclaimed in surprise.
"You lost," Yang Chen said calmly. The two stood facing each other, the Dragon Weaving Sword piercing Celestial Sovereign's chest, while the Sword of Celestial Destruction did not penetrate Yang Chen's lower abdomen.
"Is your body really this tough? The Sword of Celestial Destruction possesses at least the power and sharpness of a low-grade Heavenly Artifact, yet it couldn't break through your body!" Celestial Sovereign said bitterly.
"My Demon God body has been reinforced twice, and that last strike was a hasty counterattack from you, lacking full power. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to withstand it so easily," Yang Chen replied calmly. There were three reasons why he could easily block Celestial Sovereign's strike this time. First, the Demon God body was one reason. Second, the three small orbs in his Dantian were constantly arranged to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although the Three Talents Gathering Array was not the best defensive formation, it still had defensive capabilities. Third, that was not Celestial Sovereign's full-powered strike; it was merely a hasty attack to save face, which is why Yang Chen could block it so easily.
"I lost," Celestial Sovereign said, looking at the green sword in his chest.
"I want to know how you previously withstood my 'Cross Tremor Sword,'" Yang Chen asked as he withdrew the Dragon Weaving Sword and infused it with a breath of life energy.
"That was a Phantom Clone. However, creating a Phantom Clone requires at least half of my fighting spirit," Celestial Sovereign explained.
"Could you still mobilize your fighting spirit under my death stare?" Yang Chen inquired.
"No, that wasn't fighting spirit; it was soul power. I used soul power to construct a clone, which then draws on the fighting spirit of the main body. Once the Phantom Clone is formed, I can switch between the main body and the clone. All locking techniques and combat skills can be handled by the clone until it shatters; however, this clone cannot attack," Celestial Sovereign continued.
"Phantom Clone? Is there a time limit?" Yang Chen asked.
"No..."
