Chapter 747: Chapter 747: The Ageless Realm, Removed
The Wanxiang Mirror Tower swallowed by the Reincarnation Tunnel?
All 361 Mirror Demon Masters froze, feeling the disappearance of the tower. They all turned towards that direction—gone. The enormous Wanxiang Mirror Tower, the indestructible Wanxiang Mirror Tower, was gone?
The Mirror Demon Masters were filled with disbelief.
Of course, Zhong Shan also felt a twinge of regret. He could sense the preciousness of the Wanxiang Mirror Tower. Such a treasure, if devoured by the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail, would have been invaluable. But to deal with the Mirror Demon Master, it had to be sacrificed to the Reincarnation Tunnel.
The power of reincarnation is the power of the heavenly way. No matter how sturdy the Wanxiang Mirror Tower was, it would inevitably shatter.
"Bastard!"
A multitude of Mirror Demon Masters charged at the standing Zhong Shan.
"Boom!"
With terrifying speed, they struck that Zhong Shan with overwhelming force. Hundreds of Mirror Demon Masters attacked simultaneously, pulverizing that Zhong Shan into dust.
That was merely one of Zhong Shan's shadow clones.
Seeing Zhong Shan disintegrate without turning into crystal fragments, all the Mirror Demon Masters' pupils contracted.
"I know, I know!" the Mirror Demon Master suddenly said with a flash of malice in his eyes.
"Know what?"
"Your technique mimics my Crystal Clan's divine power. You are mimicking our divine power! Hmph, mimicry? Indeed, there was a saint in the Great Thousand World who created such a technique. However, no matter how much it is improved, your clones will never last more than half an hour, never achieving the effect of our Crystal Clan!" the Mirror Demon Master said coldly.
"Is that so?" Zhong Shan sneered.
Half an hour? The shadow clones of the Myriad Shadows Heavenly Scripture last far longer than half an hour!
"I won't let you die easily!" one of the Mirror Demon Masters said sinisterly.
The Mirror Demon Masters charged at the group of Zhong Shans.
Fortunately, Zhong Shan's speed was sufficient to dodge swiftly. What started as Zhong Shan pursuing and intercepting the Mirror Demon Masters quickly turned into the Mirror Demon Masters chasing Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan consistently maintained one shadow clone per Mirror Demon Master.
In this rapid chase, Zhong Shan avoided direct combat, knowing that aside from his speed advantage, each shadow clone couldn't match a Mirror Demon Master. Zhong Shan aimed to stall, waiting out the half-hour. When that time elapsed, it would spell the end for the Mirror Demon Masters.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
From time to time, a shadow clone would be shattered by the Mirror Demon Masters.
The Mirror Demon Masters searched everywhere for Zhong Shan's true body, but Zhong Shan's true body was well-hidden. Among the hundreds of Zhong Shans, none were the original.
Even battle requires strategy.
After a stick of incense burned, the Mirror Demon Master began to frown.
As time passed, the Mirror Demon Masters grew increasingly uneasy. How could this be? So many Zhong Shans? And their clones hadn't dissipated yet?
Seeing that half an hour was almost up, the 361 Mirror Demon Masters suddenly stopped, feeling a surge of dread.
Something's wrong. This isn't right!
Their half-hour started from the moment the Wanxiang Mirror Tower vanished. But Zhong Shan? He wasn't timing himself alongside them. His timing began when the Wanxiang Mirror Tower was still present. In other words, Zhong Shan's clones had already surpassed half an hour.
Was I wrong?
A chill rose from the depths of the Mirror Demon Master's heart as he imagined facing several hundred Sky Extreme Realm experts alone the moment his clones disappeared. Realizing the dire situation, he looked at the nearby Zhong Shans. From their eyes, he saw mockery.
"Damn!" The Mirror Demon Master knew things were going south quickly.
The Mirror Demon Master's clones turned and dashed in all directions, but with their speed matching Zhong Shan's, each Zhong Shan followed closely.
"Boom! ..."
A series of explosive sounds echoed as the Mirror Demon Master's clones vanished into smoke, leaving only one—the true Mirror Demon Master—fleeing into the distance.
Gradually, six Zhong Shans surrounded the Mirror Demon Master in the center.
"Who are you?" the Mirror Demon Master gulped nervously.
Everything today had defied the Mirror Demon Master's understanding, too bizarre, too eerie. All his methods seemed countered by this strange opponent.
The six Zhong Shans positioned themselves to the Mirror Demon Master's east, south, west, north, above, and below.
"Reincarnation Tunnel, open!" all six Zhong Shans shouted simultaneously.
"Nooooooooooooooooooo!"
At the entrance of the Ageless Realm, a group of strong individuals waited patiently.
"Nangong, how is it?" Zhong Tian asked anxiously.
Everyone looked at Nangong Sheng, who performed a few hand seals, sending them high into the sky.
"I left an array within the Ten Absolute Formation to monitor the internal energy," Nangong Sheng explained, looking up.
High in the sky, an array seemed connected to the distant sacred mountain.
"How is it?" Nian Youyou asked worriedly.
Nangong Sheng's face lit up with joy. "Only His Majesty's energy remains. The Mirror Demon Master's energy has completely dissipated. The Mirror Demon Master is dead!"
After Nangong Sheng's words, the group cheered with excitement.
"Let's go see Father!" Zhong Tian said enthusiastically.
"Yes, let's go!" Hao Meili's mood was equally uplifted.
Under the sea of merit within the Ageless Realm, Zhong Shan sat cross-legged, seemingly recovering from his earlier exertions.
When the group arrived, Zhong Shan slowly opened his eyes.
"Long live the Emperor!" the officials of the Great Yu Dynasty bowed deeply.
Zhong Shan looked around and frowned slightly. "Where is Nian Youyou?"
Amidst the group, Nian Youyou was absent.
"She left," Zhong Tian replied.
"Left?" Zhong Shan's frown deepened.
"Upon hearing that Father had defeated the Mirror Demon Master, she left, asking me to relay a message to you," Zhong Tian said with a furrowed brow.
"Oh?"
"She said she feels unworthy of Father's love and doesn't deserve it. After saying this, she turned into a pile of golden sand and flew out of the Ageless Realm, scattering in all directions. We don't know where she went," Zhong Tian explained.
"She left? Sigh!" Zhong Shan sighed softly.
Zhong Shan understood that Nian Youyou was still unable to move past the hurdle of their past. Since she couldn't, she wouldn't be able to stay. This explained her strange behavior when he gave her the Merit Rose earlier.
With a gentle sigh, Zhong Shan decided not to pursue her. Such matters could only be resolved by Nian Youyou herself. Even if he found her now, it wouldn't change anything.
Furthermore, Zhong Shan knew in his heart that his feelings for Nian Youyou weren't as deep as those for his other empresses. His relationship with Nian Youyou was primarily influenced by the memories of "Xu Xian" and "Bai Suzhen" from his past life, a relationship that was not entirely real but deeply ingrained in his memory, making it complicated. Everything would depend on fate!
"Your Majesty, in the Ageless Realm, all Sky Extreme Realm experts have been exterminated, and most of the Empire Extreme Realm experts have also been eliminated. A few managed to escape in the chaos, but Xianxian is leading a group of Empire Extreme Realm experts to intercept them. No one should escape," Mud Buddha reported.
"Very well! From today onwards, the Ageless Realm is erased from the underworld!" Zhong Shan declared as he stood up.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" everyone exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, should we seize the Ageless Realm?" Nangong Sheng asked.
Zhong Shan looked around the internal world. In the past, when the three great heavenly dynasties besieged the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Pure Land was completely destroyed, and Gu Shentong eventually collected the Pure Land's essence, the "Post-Earth."
"How was this Ageless Realm created?" Zhong Shan asked Nangong Sheng.
Nangong Sheng frowned and shook his head. "I'm not sure. This kind of small world is very peculiar!"
"Your Majesty, I know a bit about it," Wang Kuu suddenly said.
"Oh?" Everyone turned to Wang Kuu.
"I once heard that such small worlds are formed by merging 'Qi Fortune' into certain treasures," Wang Kuu explained.
"What? Qi Fortune?" Zhong Shan's eyelids twitched.
"Yes, the treasures are not fixed. I read about this in an ancient record. To form such a small world, at least one yuan of Qi Fortune is required, which must then be merged with a treasure to form the world. The material of the treasure determines the world's prosperity, and the amount of Qi Fortune determines the world's size. At least one yuan of Qi Fortune is necessary. Beyond that, I know nothing more," Wang Kuu said, shaking his head.
Zhong Shan pondered this for a while.
"Zhong Tian, collect all the merit from the Ageless Realm!" Zhong Shan ordered.
"Yes!"
"I expended some energy dealing with the Mirror Demon Master. Wang Kuu, Nangong Sheng, Mud Buddha, you three are responsible for extracting the Ageless Realm," Zhong Shan instructed.
"Yes!" the three responded promptly.
After Zhong Tian had extracted all the merit, everyone exited the Ageless Realm.
Standing atop a mountain peak, they looked towards the Ageless Realm.
As the three experts began extracting the Ageless Realm, the surrounding heaven and earth trembled.
The mountain peak Zhong Shan stood on shook continuously, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Hao Meili, annoyed, shouted, "Stop shaking! No more shaking!"
With her shout, the surrounding tremors abruptly ceased.
Zhong Shan, Mr. Corpse, Zhong Tian, and others looked at Hao Meili in astonishment. Was she really that powerful?
Hao Meili felt quite pleased with herself.
Having destroyed the Ageless Realm and personally killed the Curse Demon Master, Hao Meili was in high spirits.
Not long after, the three experts emerged from the Ageless Realm, and the vast entrance to the Ageless Realm suddenly transformed into a golden ball of light.
Zhong Shan reached out and grabbed it. It was light, almost weightless.
Qi Fortune? Was this Qi Fortune? Zhong Shan felt a slight thrill. When Tian Shenzi forcibly absorbed Qi Fortune into his body, Zhong Shan had been curious about what Qi Fortune was. Was this ball in his hand Qi Fortune?
However, unfortunately, this wasn't the Qi Fortune of Great Yu, but a form of unclaimed Qi Fortune.
He would study it later.
"Return to court!" Zhong Shan commanded.
"Yes!" everyone responded.
At the Black Sea.
The second match of the gamble, Di Xuanhe vs. Blade Maniac! Di Xuanhe's remarkable talent shone through as he memorized all of Blade Maniac's techniques after just one round. He began a new cycle of countering Blade Maniac with his own techniques.
On the shore, Tian Xiaozi finally recalled a name.
"Yangjian, Di Xuanhe?" Tian Xiaozi's pupils contracted.
On the Black Sea's surface, Ye Qingcheng also suddenly realized who the white-robed man was—Di Xuanhe?
