Somewhere in Fusang, frozen.
Whoosh~
A figure flickered, and then appeared in the center of the field. This person was none other than Ye Xuan, who had just annihilated the Ice River Giant Beast.
His presence here was clearly for a crucial matter.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully redeeming the [Clone Card], consuming 20,000 Star River Coins!"
As expected, Ye Xuan redeemed a Star River Coin item that even made him wince.
Next, Ye Xuan took the Ice River Giant Beast out of the system's item inventory. With a flip of his right hand, the [Clone Card] appeared, and he crushed it with his right fist.
A mysterious power surged into the brows of both him and the Ice River Giant Beast. Immediately, a miraculous scene unfolded.
The heart in the throat of the Ice River Giant Beast, which had been utterly dead, strangely repaired itself and began to beat. Its injuries also healed at an astonishing rate, but...
The only difference was.
Ye Xuan now shared a profound connection with the Ice River Giant Beast, and this connection signified that the Ice River Giant Beast had become Ye Xuan's clone.
Subsequently, the Ice River Giant Beast's aura intensified.
War God Realm!
Heavenly King Realm!
Emperor Realm!
Dao Lord Realm!!
Soon, the Ice River Giant Beast entered the Fifth Order Great Emperor realm. Information about the Ice River Giant Beast flooded Ye Xuan's consciousness.
"Transform?"
"Good heavens!!"
The Ice River Giant Beast clone, sensing its new abilities, vanished in an instant. In its place, standing beside Ye Xuan, was a figure identical to him.
Yes, a human.
In terms of physique, appearance, and even other aspects, they were exactly alike.
"This maneuver is quite slick~"
Of course, as his own clone, Ye Xuan was not stingy. He immediately produced a spatial bag containing over a hundred mid-grade Emperor Crystals and handed them to the transformed Ice River Giant Beast.
Sensing the will of his main body, Ye Xuan's clone flipped his right hand, took out a mid-grade Emperor Crystal, and swallowed it. A surge of potent energy coursed through him, but that was all.
Ye Xuan's main body: "..."
"Damn it, a single mid-grade Emperor Crystal had such a minuscule effect on the Ice River Giant Beast clone."
Immediately, the Ice River Giant Beast clone took out the hundred mid-grade Emperor Crystals and absorbed them all. Finally, the Ice River Giant Beast clone advanced from the Fifth Order Great Emperor realm to the peak of the Fifth Order Great Emperor realm.
However, given the Ice River Giant Beast's talent and capabilities, it could likely defeat even a Sixth Order Great Emperor. This meant that the Ice River Giant Beast alone could sweep across the planet of Atlantis, leaving even Iliffe powerless.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a random mission, obtaining the Ultimate Time Ability, with a bonus of 50 mid-grade Emperor Crystals!"
As Ye Xuan was marveling, the system's voice chimed in. At this moment, Ye Xuan's many abilities gained a new one: the Ultimate Time Ability. However, upon learning its effects, Ye Xuan was stunned.
"Ultimate Time Ability: Can slow down opponents one tier stronger than the host by 3 seconds, opponents two tiers stronger by 2 seconds, opponents three tiers stronger by 1 second, and so on..."
The system's voice echoed in his ears, and two rays of sharp light glinted in Ye Xuan's eyes.
"This time ability is quite interesting; it's practically a must-have for fighting above one's level."
A curve formed on Ye Xuan's lips. What's more, there were no usage restrictions. Doesn't that sound appealing?
Then...
Ye Xuan's gaze, filled with mischievous intent, fell upon his clone. He wondered what would happen if he fought the Ice River Giant Beast again.
Thinking this!
He immediately controlled the clone to revert to the Ice River Giant Beast. In the next moment, a beast several meters taller than before appeared on the field.
"Attack me with full force."
Ye Xuan's main body commanded his clone. Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Ice River Giant Beast clone unleashed an attack far more potent than before, an attack that would likely shock even a peak Sixth Order Great Emperor.
However, facing such an assault, Ye Xuan directly used his time ability and flickered to the side. The Ice River Giant Beast missed its target.
The Ice River Giant Beast clone faltered, clearly not expecting the main body's time ability to be so formidable.
Although they shared some memories of attacking, the core aspect of the clone's knowledge was restricted. The somewhat stumped Ice River Giant Beast clone unleashed another barrage of attacks with its eight tentacles. However, the main body moved as if strolling through a garden, and the Ice River Giant Beast clone couldn't even touch Ye Xuan's shadow.
"The main body is powerful, I'm impressed!!"
After a short while, the Ice River Giant Beast clone stopped, stating this with admiration. Of course, it was still himself, so there was no envy whatsoever.
Ye Xuan's main body nodded with satisfaction, smacked his lips, and said, "Damn it, if I had a hundred of these clones, wouldn't I be invincible in the universe?"
Looking at the Ice River Giant Beast clone before him, Ye Xuan thought this.
"Replying to Master, with your current Fifth Order Great Emperor level, you can have at most two clones. Only when the host breaks through to the Great Emperor realm can you potentially have a third clone. As for a fourth clone, it requires the host to break through the extreme of the Venerable realm to become a Void Ancestor..."
You Nai's voice rang in his ears, slightly dampening Ye Xuan's confidence.
"It seems that the Ice River Giant Beast grows faster by devouring other life forms and energy."
"But for now..."
Then, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand, took out 50 mid-grade Emperor Crystals, and began to absorb them. He made significant progress in the Fifth Order Great Emperor realm, and the peak of the Fifth Order Great Emperor was no longer far off.
If the King of Slaughter were to know of Ye Xuan's current cultivation progress, he would surely be astonished. After all, it took him decades to advance from the Fifth Order Great Emperor to the peak of the Fifth Order Great Emperor.
How long had Ye Xuan been cultivating? Perhaps less than a month, or even half a month.
...
On the other side, at the Five Elders' Pavilion in the Imperial Capital.
"Xiao Ao, what is the situation regarding the battle in Fusang?"
"Has that giant beast been subdued?!"
The elders inquired anxiously about the battle reports, but Long Aotian shook his head. "Elders, the battle report from Fusang has not yet arrived. However, it is almost certain that the entire Fusang country has been destroyed by that beast."
Ring ring~
As Long Aotian and the elders were talking, Wang Zhantian received a phone call. Instantly, the gazes of the Five Elders and Long Aotian all shifted towards him. After all, while China might not get the news immediately, Wang Zhantian would.
"Hello, what!"
"Alright, I understand!!"
Wang Zhantian's pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing the news from the other end, and he involuntarily swallowed.
"Zhantian, what is the situation?"
"Yes, Commander Wang!!"
Long Aotian, along with the elders including Wang Xuanyu, were all on high alert. This matter was too important for them to not take seriously.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Wang Zhantian breathed a sigh of relief. "You might not believe it when I say this, but that incredibly powerful and terrifying giant beast was annihilated, leaving no trace, by our Alliance Leader."
