246: Chapter 246 Shadow!

The giant tower was left behind by that immortal powerhouse.

It was specifically designed to screen for a successor for the Legacy.

Everyone who enters the giant tower faces a different trial.

According to Feng Jiutian's description,

the trial she faced after entering the giant tower was to kill a certain number of Yao Beasts, with each level becoming increasingly difficult.

The first level had only one Yao Beast at the same Realm as her.

There were two on the second level, four on the third, eight on the fourth, sixteen on the fifth, and thirty-two on the sixth.

Back then, Feng Jiutian had fought with all her might, yet she could only make it to the sixth level.

She truly could not withstand the siege of thirty-two Yao Beasts of the same Realm.

Being able to reach the sixth level

was already considered an elite among people!

However, after Wang Chen stepped into the giant tower, he did not see any Yao Beasts.

The first level.

It was empty; there was nothing.

The surroundings consisted of cold stone walls, the ground was paved with dark red stone slabs, and the air was permeated with an ancient and mysterious Aura.

Wang Chen frowned slightly and looked around.

"How can there be nothing here? Then what is the trial?"

Just as Wang Chen finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly shone in front of him.

That light.

It was soft and warm, like the morning sun.

Within the light, a figure was slowly taking shape.

Wang Chen watched the figure vigilantly, the power within his body already beginning to surge.

The figure became clearer and more real.

When the light dissipated and Wang Chen saw the appearance of the figure clearly, he was stunned on the spot.

Because—

That figure was actually himself.

The same face, the same build, the same temperament.

Even the clothes he was wearing were identical: a white robe, long hair draped over his shoulders, standing with his hands behind his back.

"This... what is going on?"

The figure opened its eyes, looked at Wang Chen, and the corners of its mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

That smile.

Wang Chen was too familiar with it—because he himself often smiled like that.

"What are you?" Wang Chen asked.

"I am you!"

The figure answered calmly, almost exactly the same as how Wang Chen usually spoke!

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

Wang Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He already understood.

The trial of this giant tower for him was not some Yao Beast, nor some mechanism or trap, but—himself.

The one he had to defeat was himself.

"An interesting trial; I can't wait."

The corners of Wang Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of Battle Intent flashed in his eyes.

"I have lived two lifetimes and have never fought myself. Today, I would like to see just how strong another 'me' is."

As his voice fell,

he struck immediately.

He struck out with his palm, and the terrifying power of Law surged out like a tsunami, crushing towards the figure.

This palm strike.

He used fifty percent of his power, which was enough to easily kill a powerhouse at the Early Stage of the Domain Realm.

However,

to his surprise, the figure actually moved as well.

And its movements were the same as his.

The same palm strike, the same power of Law, the same Aura.

The two palm prints collided in mid-air, emitting a heaven-shaking roar.

"Boom..."

After the loud noise,

Wang Chen retreated one step, and the figure also retreated one step.

This scene

made Wang Chen's pupils shrink sharply.

"Damn it! It can do that?"

"The exact same strength as me?"

"This trial is becoming more and more interesting."

He did not strike again rashly but carefully observed the figure.

He discovered.

The figure not only had the same strength as him, but its fighting style, reaction speed, and even breathing frequency were exactly the same as his.

He moved.

The opponent moved.

He stopped.

The opponent stopped.

He thought.

The opponent was also thinking.

It was like looking in a mirror; the self in the mirror was responding to everything he did in exactly the same way.

Wang Chen frowned.

Then he fell into deep thought.

If the opponent was exactly the same as him, how could he win?

What he knew, the opponent also knew.

What he thought of, the opponent could also think of.

Whatever move he made, the opponent could make the same move.

Such a battle would never have an outcome.

"No, there must be a flaw."

Wang Chen closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his body.

He no longer looked at the figure but used his heart to feel.

Feeling the opponent's Aura, feeling the opponent's Law, feeling the way the opponent existed.

A moment later,

he opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"I know how to defeat you."

After hearing Wang Chen's voice,

the corners of the figure's mouth turned up, actually revealing a smile exactly the same as Wang Chen's main body.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Haha... you damn Clone, even if I tell you, what can you do?!"

"Hahaha..."

Wang Chen ignored the opponent.

Instead,

he directly chose to borrow power from his main body!

After making the choice,

Wang Chen's Clone suddenly felt a terrifying power surge from the Void Realm and pour into his body.

That power was as vast as the sea and as mighty as an abyss; it was precisely the power of the main body's Emperors Dharma Idol.

His Aura

began to skyrocket.

The figure's Aura also began to skyrocket, but the rate of growth was a beat slower than his.

Because the figure was copying the power of Wang Chen's Clone, but it could not copy the power of the Emperors Dharma Idol coming from the main body.

After all,

the figure didn't have a main body backing it up; it was just a lone commander.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Wang Chen couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long howl.

And the figure looked at him,

its mouth twitched, and the smile on its face could no longer be maintained.

"Shameless, you are cheating!!"

Its voice

fluctuated for the first time.

It carried an indescribable resentment, and the expression was exactly like a child whose candy had been stolen.

Wang Chen, however, looked innocent, spreading his hands with an expression as sincere as could be.

"Cheating? When did I cheat? This power is my own; it was just borrowed from another place. This is called reasonable resource utilization, understand?"

"Besides, that I can borrow power is my ability. If you have the ability, go borrow power too. Can you even borrow any?"

The figure fell silent.

Too shameless, is that even human language you're speaking?

If I had any ability, would I still just be a shadow?

"Alright."

"It's time to end this!"

Wang Chen raised his hand and flexed his wrist, making a "crack, crack" sound.

The sound was crisp and pleasant, as if putting a period to this farce.

The figure looked at him, a trace of fear flashing in its eyes.

It could feel it.

The power within Wang Chen's body had already grown to a terrifying level that made it suffocate.

That feeling was like an ant looking up at a giant Dragon, not even having the courage to run away.

"You... you can't do this!" The figure's voice was trembling.

"This... this is unfair!"

Wang Chen tilted his head, looking at it with a confused expression.

"Unfair? Where is it unfair? Tell me, I'm listening."

"You... you borrowed outside power! This is not your own ability! If you have the ability, don't use outside help and fight me one-on-one..."

"One-on-one?"

"You damn broken shadow, what right do you have to fight me one-on-one?"

"Are you brain-damaged? Die!!!"
