183: Primordial Spirit Clone

“Your expression was serious, and you finally got serious—”

“Body Manifests Myriad Forms!”

“Before the words even fell, you transformed into dozens of indistinguishable real and fake figures, appearing simultaneously throughout the main hall.”

“At the same time, your true body pointed two fingers like a sword, and a cold gleam leaped from between your brows—”

“Clang!”

“The immortal slaying sword appeared!”

“The immense Killing Intent of the immortal slaying sword permeated the air, causing the temperature of the entire hall to drop sharply to freezing point.”

“You flicked your fingers, and the immortal slaying sword transformed into a grayish Sword Qi that tore through space, directly striking the black cauldron!”

“Hiss—!”

“The Sword Qi and the black cauldron collided with a roar!”

“That seemingly mighty Black Underworld Suppressing Prison Cauldron only managed to withstand the immortal slaying sword's edge for three breaths before letting out a mournful cry, its spiritual light dimming as it flew backward. A subtle crack even appeared on its body!”

“The immortal slaying sword continued its momentum, like a cold gleam seeking a life, directly piercing towards Ji Yunfeng's glabella!”

“Ji Yunfeng watched death approach, terrified, his face as pale as paper. The Spiritual Qi around him was frozen by the sharp Sword Intent, making it impossible for him to move even a finger.”

“Just at this critical moment—”

“Whoosh!”

“The white-haired old man from before appeared like a ghost, blocking Ji Yunfeng.”

“He slowly raised his withered palm, not touching the sword's edge, but merely pressing it in the air.”

“Buzz!”

“An invisible spatial barrier seemed to appear in front of the immortal slaying sword.”

“The immortal slaying sword's edge, capable of cutting through Magic Treasures, seemed to sink into a swamp, trembling violently three inches in front of the old man's palm, unable to advance another inch!”

“Your heart was greatly shaken. You immediately drew a sword art, recalled the immortal slaying sword to circle around you, and watched the white-haired old man with a solemn expression.”

“This old fellow... his application of the Law Power has reached such a Realm!”

“Ji Yunfeng, still shaken, hurriedly hid behind the white-haired old man, bowing respectfully: 'Grand Elder!'”

“The old man, however, did not look at him. His eyes, as deep as a sea of stars, stared sharply at you, filled with confusion and scrutiny.”

“'I've searched high and low... I didn't expect to actually encounter it.' His voice carried a hint of disbelief.”

“Before his words finished, the bones and muscles of his face subtly shifted, restoring his original appearance—”

“A white-haired old man who commanded respect without anger, his brows filled with endless vicissitudes.”

“'Grand Elder?! You... how can you be here?' Liu Ruyan exclaimed in shock, simultaneously taking off her veil.”

“It turned out that this white-haired old man was none other than the Grand Elder of the Liu Clan Immortal Family—Liu Xuanyin, a Void Refining mighty figure!”

“Although he had used a Divine Ability to change his appearance, his discerning gaze remained unchanged.”

“Liu Xuanyin looked at Liu Ruyan, his tone unreadable: 'What is his background?'”

“Liu Ruyan stepped forward without hesitation, shielding you behind her, her tone firm: 'Reporting to Grand Elder, he is a servant I took in. He was acting on my orders just now to seize the spirit of true fire.'”

“You lowered your head accordingly, respectfully standing behind her, playing the role of a loyal servant, showing no flaws in your expression.”

“Liu Xuanyin's brows furrowed tightly, and he muttered to himself: 'Impossible... the Lake of Reincarnation's prophecy can't be wrong...'”

“He stared intently at you, as if trying to see through you from the inside out, then commanded Liu Ruyan: 'Since he is your person, then you shall personally kill him, retrieve the immortal slaying sword, and return it to its rightful owner.'”

“'Grand Elder! Why is this?' Liu Ruyan looked shocked and confused.”

“'The immortal slaying sword is a lost treasure of my Liu Clan; it cannot fall into the hands of outsiders and should rightfully be reclaimed.' Liu Xuanyin's tone was unquestionable.”

“Hearing these words, you remained bowed in attendance, your expression unchanged, perfectly maintaining the respectful silence a 'servant' should have when their master has not given an order.”

“'Grand Elder,' Liu Ruyan's attitude became resolute, 'This concerns my private property. According to clan rules, without a direct order from the Clan Chief or Old Ancestor, you have no right to make me dispose of it. For this matter, I need to meet with the Clan Chief to explain the situation.'”

“'You dare defy me?' Liu Xuanyin's eyes turned cold, and the space around him subtly twisted.”

“'Grand Elder, you are currently... only a primordial spirit clone, aren't you?' Liu Ruyan did not back down.”

“Fortunately, the Liu Xuanyin before them was not his true body, but merely a condensed primordial spirit clone.”

“The reason this Clone of his appeared here was entirely due to the vision in the Lake of Reincarnation that foretold the Liu Clan's demise.”

“Over the past decade, he had condensed numerous primordial spirit clones to travel throughout the Immortal Domain, searching for all clues related to the immortal slaying sword. This suddenly appearing immortal palace naturally caught his attention.”

“Although it was only a primordial spirit clone, the level of power it wielded was far beyond what a Nascent Soul Cultivator could compare to.”

“Liu Xuanyin smiled faintly: 'Do you really think that with your current strength, you can stop this venerable one?'”

“The next second—”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Four immense Nascent Soul pressures erupted simultaneously!”

“You, Liu Ruyan, Qi Wei (Qin Feng), and Elder Jia—the Nascent Soul auras of the four of you merged into one, like a surging tsunami, instantly sweeping through the entire Pill Hall.”

“The Cultivators hiding in the corners, under this terrifying superimposed pressure, all went weak in the knees and knelt on the ground, finding it incredibly difficult even to lift their heads.”

“Liu Xuanyin looked at the four of you and burst into laughter: 'Hahaha... Do you think that with four Nascent Soul Cultivators, you can escape from this old man's grasp?'”

“'Today, I shall let you witness what true power is!'”

“He didn't even make a big movement; he merely thought for a moment—”

“'Rise!'”

“Silently, the spatial rules within the entire Pill Hall were completely rewritten.”

“The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi no longer obeyed your commands; instead, it became violent and alien, frantically impacting your own Nascent Soul Power.”

“You only felt your Spiritual Qi instantly become chaotic, as if trapped in a quagmire, making even the simplest spell casting sluggish and difficult.”

“This was the absolute suppression of the Void Refining Realm over lower-ranked Cultivators, a chasm in the level of life and comprehension of Law!”

“Even if this Clone of his only contained one percent of his true body's strength, it was by no means something Nascent Soul Cultivators could contend with.”

“The next second—”

“Puff!”

“Elder Jia, who was closest to Liu Xuanyin, didn't even have time to show a horrified expression. His entire body, along with the Nascent Soul within, was crushed as if by an invisible giant hand, instantly exploding into a crimson mist of blood, his Divine Soul utterly destroyed!”

“Immediately after, Liu Xuanyin casually waved his hand.”

“Bang!”

“Qi Wei's Golden Core Physical Body shattered inch by inch like a porcelain doll.”

“After his Physical Body was destroyed, Qin Feng immediately transformed into a phantom soul shadow and escaped into the ground, while an urgent voice transmission echoed in your mind:”

“'Kid, a Void Refining mighty figure has already mastered the Law Power. Even if it's just a Clone, it's not something you and I can currently fight. How about we escape first?!'”

“Meanwhile, the space around Liu Ruyan suddenly solidified, and a transparent spatial cage tightly imprisoned her.”

“No matter how she urged her Nascent Soul Power or performed secret techniques, the spatial barrier remained motionless, as if an entire world separated her from it.”

“You continuously urged your Nascent Soul Power, punching the spatial barrier of the Law Domain again and again, but you couldn't shake it in the slightest.”

“Liu Xuanyin, in control of the situation, watched your futile struggles and sneered: 'Junior, the level of power you wield is too low. No matter how strong your Divine Ability is, it's wasted effort.'”
