"Is this a human wave tactic?"
Ye Ling's mouth twitched as he saw the dense crowd of black knights around him, unsure of what they were trying to do.
While the number of black knights was large, their strength would be dispersed due to the numerous clones.
This ability might be effective in low-level combat, but in the top-tier battles of the Primal Chaos, it was a losing proposition.
If the black knights had no other use for these clones, then they were purely weakening themselves.
As Ye Ling pondered the black knights' intentions, the black knights in the ground instantly vanished. Then, the black knights all over the sky suddenly struck various bizarre poses, like dark statues, completely still.
Shortly after the black knights assumed their strange stances, the black energy swirling around them transformed into threads, connecting with each other.
The countless black knight clones became interconnected points, weaving a massive net across the heavens and earth.
The strength of each black knight clone surged, eventually matching that of the black knight's main body!
"How did they do that?" Ye Ling's pupils contracted as he saw all the black knight clones' strength become equal to the main body. A tempestuous wave surged in his heart.
The ability displayed by the black knights violated the most basic laws.
According to the black knights' current approach, the more clones they had, the stronger they would become?
"Ye Ling."
At this moment, the black knights all spoke in unison, their deafening voices echoing around Ye Ling and lingering.
As the black knights were spread throughout every corner of the Extreme Martial Domain, their voices were like waves, crashing over and over, ceaselessly.
At this point, the black knights' voices alone had become demonic incantations.
Listening to the incessant voices of the black knights, Ye Ling collected his thoughts, guarded his surroundings, and said to the black knights, "What is this technique? It's too unreasonable!"
"This is my ultimate skill, Myriad Manifestations. Each of my clones possesses my peak strength," the black knight replied calmly, not bothering to conceal his abilities.
"Each clone has your peak strength... How is that possible?" Ye Ling asked again.
"A mysterious blessing from outside the Primal Chaos. With your talent, if you could obtain a blessing outside the Primal Chaos... your abilities would likely be stronger than mine... but it's a pity, you are destined not to survive today."
As the voices of the black knight clones faded, they all condensed black obelisks in front of them, shooting towards Ye Ling like a torrential downpour.
"Here they come!"
Seeing that the black knights had initiated their attack, Ye Ling no longer bothered to marvel at their monstrous methods. He immediately relied on his precognitive abilities to dodge the obelisks' onslaught.
Due to the sheer number and extreme speed of the obelisks, even though Ye Ling could foresee the trajectory of every obelisk, he could not completely evade their damage. He could only choose the path that would inflict the least harm.
Soon, Ye Ling was wounded, his aura shifting from stable to chaotic. Meanwhile, the number of black obelisks continued to increase, showing no signs of diminishing!
From the ground, the sky was covered in black. The gaps between the obelisks were no longer large enough to accommodate a person. Ye Ling had no choice but to shrink the body of the Primal Martial King, but this was merely a temporary fix.
As the number of black obelisks grew, the gaps between them would eventually become too small to contain even an atom!
"This won't do. I need to find a way to counterattack."
While dodging the obelisks, Ye Ling searched for the black knight's main body in the gaps.
However, all the black knights, except for their poses, had identical auras and appearances, with no discernible difference in their strength.
Unless the black knight revealed his main body himself, Ye Ling would have no way of finding him.
Furthermore, even if he found the black knight's main body, it would still be incredibly difficult for Ye Ling to attack it amidst the endless clones.
Compared to the Singer, who was always ambushed, Ye Ling was now truly experiencing their power.
Truly worthy of being an existence above the Seven Pillars!
"Give up, Ye Ling. You cannot defeat me," the black knight said coldly to Ye Ling again. "The space-time of the Extreme Martial Domain has been sealed. Even if you possess the power of the Primal Time King, you cannot escape from here."
"We were going to find you sooner or later, so it's better if you reveal yourself. It's good for everyone."
Hearing the black knight's words, Ye Ling couldn't help but chuckle, "With your condescending attitude, anyone would think you've already found my main body."
"We are all fighting with clones. Even if you destroy the Primal Martial King, it will have no impact on my main body."
"Conversely, you should be careful... My main body is watching you from the shadows. Once your true form is caught by me, our battle will be over."
Black knight: "..."
Following Ye Ling's words, the black knight fell silent.
Indeed, although he currently held the upper hand, he couldn't find where Ye Ling's main body was. While Ye Ling appeared to be in a predicament, he was not in any mortal danger.
Both sides were merely making futile efforts here.
Ye Ling continued to chuckle, "Black Knight, I have a proposal. Let's both reveal our main bodies and fight with our true abilities, how about it?"
"Hmph!" The black knight chuckled, "Alright, you tell me the location of your main body first, and I promise to reveal my true form."
"What if you play a trick?"
Ye Ling asked, while his main body secretly observed each black knight, trying to find the true form through subtle movements.
"I am a knight. I despise trickery and deceit the most. Moreover, I don't believe you can pose a threat to my true form, so you don't need to worry about me breaking my word."
"On the contrary, Ye Ling, your reputation precedes you. Many of us have suffered greatly at your hands, especially the Singer, who wishes she could devour you alive."
"Thank you for the compliment!" Ye Ling smiled at the black knight. Through his main body's secret observation, he had narrowed down the potential true forms to less than thirty.
However, with Ye Ling's current strength, it was still a strain to simultaneously ambush thirty black knights. He needed more information to further refine his targets.
Ye Ling manipulated the Primal Martial King to shatter a black obelisk that was attacking him head-on, then dodged the impact of thousands of obelisks at extreme speed, and said to the black knight, "It's not impossible for me to reveal my true form first. You answer one question for me."
"Speak."
"If I have already devoured the Primal Martial King's Martial King Heart and my main body has escaped the Extreme Martial Domain, will you be angry?"
"You!!!"
The black knight was shocked, then quickly recovered and smiled at Ye Ling, "Your deception skills are too clumsy... I have been watching the Primal Martial King all along. How could you seize his power?"
"That's not necessarily true," Ye Ling smiled slightly. "After all, my methods are also somewhat monstrous."
As Ye Ling smiled, his aura had already locked onto three black knights. The primal text surged around him, transforming into dark chains.
His previous question had caused the black knight to exhibit subtle emotional fluctuations... and he had seized this opportunity to identify three black knights with slight changes in their body movements from the group of thirty.
The black knight's true form was among those three!
