186: Phantom Mirror Duel

However, it no longer formed other phantoms, and the two sides remained in a stalemate.

Tang Tian wanted to see just how strong this phantom was, while the phantom seemed to be thinking about something else...

After a long while, the phantom moved.

The phantom sat cross-legged in the distance. Having fought Tang Tian for so long, its target had become Tang Tian, not Zhen Qu.

A hundred swords appeared beside the phantom and attacked Tang Tian directly.

Tang Tian said, "You want to compete with me in using swords?"

Tang Tian immediately gathered all his remaining swords, and a hundred swords hovered around him.

Once the phantom's swords attacked, Tang Tian's swords were deployed, and all the swords collided.

After the crisp sound of steel clashing, Tang Tian's swords actually shattered, and the phantom's swords shattered as well.

Tang Tian's swords turned into fragments and fell to the ground, while the phantom's swords reassembled and flew toward Tang Tian again.

Tang Tian remarked, "Truly incredible; it's already this strong after only about three days."

Tang Tian stretched his body, stood up straight, and released two hundred streams of Evil Qi.

He leapt up and charged at the phantom. As soon as the Evil Qi appeared, the phantom's swords vanished, and Tang Tian smashed the phantom to pieces.

Whenever the phantom appeared, it was smashed by Tang Tian again. The phantom kept reassembling, but it couldn't reassemble as fast as Tang Tian could smash it...

By the end, the phantom was smashed into nothingness the moment it appeared, unable to reassemble at all.

Tang Tian said, "You didn't expect that, did you? I am also into Body Refining."

After smashing it for who knows how long, the phantom stopped reassembling, and this place returned to the state it was in when Tang Tian first entered.

Tang Tian consumed a large amount of Medicinal Pill and Spirit Stone, stood in place for a long time, and said, "This phantom was solved just like that? I thought it was much stronger."

Tang Tian had thought the phantom was his own mirror image, but he didn't expect it to be at this level.

At this moment, an aged figure appeared before Tang Tian; the phantom that had been fighting Tang Tian originated from it.

It stood in the air, with no fewer than twenty million phantoms on its body.

The moment Tang Tian looked at this aged figure, he knew it was the owner of that Golden Core blood, a Golden Core Cultivator of the Zhen Family.

The aged phantom glanced lightly at Tang Tian, and Tang Tian felt as if he were being stared at by something extremely terrifying.

Tang Tian swallowed hard; this Golden Core Cultivator was very strong, and even just a single phantom was extremely powerful.

At this strength, the phantom left behind by this Golden Core Cultivator could still contribute some power to the Zhen Family...

Tang Tian said, "I can finally say I've seen a Golden Core Cultivator."

The Golden Core Cultivator's phantom tapped lightly in the direction of Zhen Qu, and Zhen Qu's strength suddenly increased, and the Zhen Family Bloodline within her also strengthened a portion.

It seemed Tang Tian had passed the first trial, and Zhen Qu had gained strength.

Tang Tian said, "Is the first trial really this simple?"

Tang Tian watched the Golden Core phantom to see what it would do next.

The Golden Core phantom stood in the air, and the next second, with a wave of its hand, a phantom exactly like Tang Tian appeared.

That phantom had the exact same outline as Tang Tian, except its entire body was made of nothingness.

That phantom stood in the air, releasing incantation seals with its hands, and a hundred swords were generated in the air.

Then the phantom unleashed the Earthly Fiend Fist and beckoned to Tang Tian, signaling him to get ready.

So this was the real beginning of the first challenge.

Tang Tian said, "So it turns out the previous part was just an appetizer."

To show his respect for this phantom, Tang Tian took out the White Bone Greatsword directly.

Seeing this, the Golden Core phantom frowned slightly in hesitation, then tapped its finger, and a phantom of the White Bone Greatsword also appeared in the phantom's hand.

Tang Tian: "..."

Tang Tian swung the White Bone Greatsword a few times on the ground, signaling the phantom to make its move.

The phantom jumped down from the air, shaking the ground. The phantom's physical strength was actually exactly the same as Tang Tian's.

Tang Tian said, "This is too terrifying; it also has the Soul Severing Bone."

The phantom immediately used the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword to control a hundred swords to attack Tang Tian, and it also leapt forward, wielding the phantom version of the White Bone Greatsword to charge at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian said, "Well come."

Five thousand streams of Evil Qi surged up, floating above Tang Tian's head, instantly destroying the phantom's hundred swords.

Tang Tian's White Bone Greatsword collided with the phantom's White Bone Greatsword, but Tang Tian did not fear this phantom.

After all, everyone was at the Lianqi Seventh Level, so it could be considered a battle between rookies...

The two blades remained in a stalemate, and the phantom and Tang Tian looked at each other, although the phantom had no eyes.

Yet the phantom's appearance was actually Tang Tian's original appearance. The phantom used the Frost Palm to directly create distance.

Tang Tian said, "This is too strong. I don't think I've ever used the Frost Palm, so will this phantom also know the Raven Town World Sutra..."

Tang Tian decided to end the fight quickly, fearing that if it continued, the phantom might pull out some other surprise.

Tang Tian feigned an attack on the phantom, while secretly solidifying the Ice Lotus, and the remaining Evil Qi and Cold Feather poured out.

The phantom was directly enveloped by Tang Tian's Ice Lotus.

Tang Tian said, "Based on my understanding of the Soul Severing Bone, this phantom shouldn't be so easily dealt with."

Sure enough, after the Cold Feather and Evil Qi dissipated, the phantom was still standing there, but its steps were unsteady, and it was in a bad state.

Seeing that Tang Tian had used the Ice Lotus, the phantom no longer held back and directly used the Raven Town World Sutra.

Tang Tian said, "Not good..."

Tang Tian took the initiative to use the Raven Town World Sutra to stop it, while not forgetting to take out a large pile of Li Gu Grass from the Medicine Venerable Space to consume.

Tang Tian immediately released a hundred Fire Feathers; after all, there was still a battle ahead, and if three hundred Fire Feathers were released...

The opposing phantom might be dealt with, but if the Golden Core phantom started the second challenge immediately, Tang Tian wouldn't be able to handle it.

Tang Tian's Fire Feathers fell onto the ground without a target.

A large pile of magma appeared on the ground.

Tang Tian made a sacrifice to the sky in his heart, and a massive amount of fireballs fell.

The Golden Core phantom nodded slightly upon seeing this, moved its hand, and covered the area around Zhen Qu with a phantom barrier.

Tang Tian's fireballs all fell toward the side of the Tang Tian phantom.

And the Tang Tian phantom also released fireballs, with a large number of phantom fireballs falling.

Tang Tian was stunned and said, "This is too strong."

As soon as the phantom fireballs fell, they turned into a large amount of flames.

But Tang Tian's speed was a step faster; after all, Tang Tian's phantom was firing based on how Tang Tian used to fire three hundred at a time.

Tang Tian moved his body and directly struck down the Tang Tian phantom.

The Tang Tian phantom had used three hundred fireballs and was already seriously injured, so it was easily dealt with by Tang Tian...

Tang Tian's White Bone Greatsword slashed across, and the phantom disappeared under his blade.

Tang Tian said, "Killing myself feels a bit strange..."

The remaining fireballs from the Tang Tian phantom kept falling, and Tang Tian quickly dodged them.

When Tang Tian looked ahead again, it had already returned to calm.
