Chapter 410 Resisting the Sin

Xu Jingming felt the presence of his eight clones, each entangled and bound by endless sins. These sins permeated their bodies, influencing their minds and consciousness, seeking to corrode and pollute their souls. However, on one hand, Xu Jingming's entire body blazed with Red Lotus Fire, constantly washing away the sins. On the other hand, with his three cultivation paths combined, Xu Jingming's body was exceptionally powerful, and his mental consciousness was even stronger, resulting in extremely high resistance.

Despite being polluted and dragged down by the sins, Xu Jingming was still able to resist and maintain his clarity.

"I see into the future. If this Lord Yan Zhai self-destructs and transforms into sin, it would be enough to affect all my clones," Xu Jingming said silently. "Merely consuming ten percent of his body, this amount of sin is not enough!"

Lord Yan Zhai seemingly transformed a massive amount of Sin Spring water into endless sin. But in reality, compared to the total mass of his body, it was indeed only about one-tenth.

Because consuming so much wouldn't affect his other combat techniques.

"Void Abyss!" While resisting the sin, Xu Jingming had already manifested a Mirage Void Abyss, further affecting Lord Yan Zhai's consciousness.

Buzz!

"This illusion again." Lord Yan Zhai was furious, but his consciousness was already trapped within the illusion. As he struggled with all his might in his mental consciousness, and finally broke free, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Three illusory Xu Jingmings, holding three illusory long spears, transformed into three rounds of rising suns, and had already pierced through his body!

The three rounds of rising suns seemed to incinerate everything, tearing apart his mental consciousness.

"Mental weapons? While in the illusion, I didn't even realize I had been hit by mental weapons." Lord Yan Zhai was horrified. Even though he had been pierced by the mental long spears, he was completely deceived within the illusion, and only realized he had been hit when he broke through the illusion.

"The power of his mental weapons is also greater. I'm afraid it will only take a hundred or so moves to completely annihilate the mental consciousness of this clone." Lord Yan Zhai sensed the danger.

Affected by the Red Lotus Fire and the Mirage Void Abyss, Lord Yan Zhai was passively enduring the mental long spears, which maximized the damage.

Without the Red Lotus Fire scorching, without the illusion interference, if he faced it with all his might! The damage would probably be much weaker.

"Let's see who kills who first!" Feeling the crisis of death, Lord Yan Zhai became even more frenzied.

Boom—

The vast Sin Spring water suddenly expanded, covering two of Xu Jingming's clones in an instant. "Poof!" At the moment the Sin Spring water covered them, two Demonic Sound Forks appeared strangely, instantly piercing through the bodies of these two clones.

The two dark Demonic Sound Forks, as Lord Yan Zhai's weapons, could appear anywhere in this vast Sin Spring water.

"Hmm?" The two pierced Xu Jingmings felt an endless sharpness piercing through their bodies, as if invisible sound waves were transmitting throughout every part of their bodies, also frantically destroying and damaging them.

Whoosh.

The two clones immediately遁入心界 (dùn rù xīn jiè, escaped into the Mind World), reappearing in the distant distance, but these two clones were noticeably weaker.

"Lord Yan Zhai is extremely proficient in both the Sin lineage and the Demonic Sound lineage. The Demonic Sound lineage is even more adept at combat and fighting. Fortunately, my body is much stronger due to cultivating all three paths. If it were back when I first came to the Abyss, I'm afraid this clone would have been gone with just one fork." Xu Jingming was very clear about this.

With the three cultivation paths combined, Xu Jingming estimated that a clone could only be pierced three times at most before being completely annihilated.

"His body can be large or small. Once covered by the spring water, I will immediately be stabbed by the Demonic Sound Fork. So I must maintain enough distance." Xu Jingming became more cautious and slippery, utilizing the flexibility advantage of the Mind World lineage.

"His body is quite resistant! One fork isn't enough to kill him?" While resisting the Red Lotus Fire, Lord Yan Zhai continuously absorbed Sin Spring water, transforming it into endless sin to continue entangling and binding Xu Jingming. "As long as I delay long enough, the sins entangling him will increase, and my advantage will only grow!"

"You want to delay?" Xu Jingming saw through the opponent's plan. "Void Abyss!"

The illusion descended again!

At the moment the illusion descended and enveloped Lord Yan Zhai, three clones each wielding mental long spears, once again used the 'Rising Sun' move to tear apart Lord Yan Zhai's mental consciousness.

"Not good." Although Xu Jingming succeeded in another attack, he sensed something was wrong. "He is breaking through the illusion faster this time."

The same Mirage 'Void Abyss' illusion had the best effect the first time. The more it was used, the more experience Lord Yan Zhai gained in breaking it, and naturally the breaking speed would increase.

"Watching the future branches, he will break the Void Abyss faster and faster! Perhaps only three times are needed. The fourth time... he will be able to intercept my mental weapons and severely injure my mental clone." While fighting, Xu Jingming was also watching different possible futures.

His thinking speed operated at high speed, searching for the best combat method.

...

Abyss seventh branch, Blood Jade 735293rd layer of Abyss space. This layer of Abyss space had a total of more than six hundred Abyss Lords, and even one Abyss Monarch.

The frenzied battle between Lord Yan Zhai and Xu Jingming had attracted the attention of almost every Abyss Lord in the entire Abyss space, and even the Abyss Monarch was watching.

"They've both gone mad. Lord Yan Zhai was a madman to begin with, and this Wu Ming has also gone crazy. He's clearly a Mind World lineage Half-Step Third Realm expert, but he insists on fighting to the end."

"Lord Yan Zhai has already left his life imprint in the Sin Spring. It's hard for him to die, so naturally he's rampant! That Wu Ming... won't be able to last much longer. How could a Half-Step Third Realm invincible monster bow his head to Lord Yan Zhai?"

"This battle is really beautiful."

One Abyss Lord after another watched the battle with great interest, either eating snacks or drinking precious wines.

Not a single one wanted to stand up for Lord Yan Zhai!

Lord Yan Zhai was rampant and unscrupulous, and the ones he bullied the most were the Lords in the same layer of Abyss space. This group of Lords all wished Lord Yan Zhai would suffer a setback and lose as miserably as possible.

Moreover, the strength Wu Ming displayed was too terrifying! He only used a few clones, and Lord Yan Zhai couldn't take him down. Even if they rushed up, most of them wouldn't have a good ending.

"Mind World lineage Half-Step Third Realm experts are very cunning. The real treasures have long been transferred away! These clones are all poor ghosts. Even if we destroy a few of his clones, we won't earn any treasures." These Abyss Lords saw it very clearly.

If there was a chance to seize treasure, they could try.

If there was no chance? Then they would just watch the show.

Long lives also needed some entertainment. For example, seeing Lord Yan Zhai suffer a loss made many Lords feel very good.

"Woo."

The Abyss Monarch 'Lord He Shan', surrounded by a group of beauties, watched the battle from afar while playing with the women.

"Monarch, who do you think will win? They look like they're killing each other very crazily." The group of women all looked at the battle scene displayed in the void ahead.

"Yan Zhai, this idiot, is quite strong, but as an Abyss lineage, most of them have some flaws in their mental consciousness, so they are naturally restrained by the Mind World lineage." Lord He Shan had exquisite beauty and smiled as she watched the battle. "This Wu Ming cultivates all three major lineages of the Mind World: Red Lotus Fire, Mirage Void Abyss, and mental weapons. He attacks from three directions simultaneously... Yan Zhai is at a disadvantage."

"Didn't the Monarch say that Yan Zhai's sin body is very powerful?" a woman asked in confusion.

"It is very powerful, so he can withstand the Red Lotus Fire and withstand repeated mental weapon attacks. He can even counterattack. Look! His Demonic Sound Fork has pierced Wu Ming's body again," said Lord He Shan.

When Xu Jingming's three clones used mental weapons to pierce through Lord Yan Zhai's vast body, Lord Yan Zhai woke up from the illusion. As soon as he woke up, two Demonic Sound Forks appeared strangely and pierced through two clone bodies. One of the clones was too severely injured and collapsed, leaving only a mental long spear behind.

Lord Yan Zhai immediately took away the mental long spear.

"This Wu Ming only used eight clones. But now, these eight clones are all seriously injured. Look, the first clone has finally completely collapsed, and even his mental weapon has been lost." Lord He Shan smiled. "It's still uncertain who will win this battle."

...

Xu Jingming used his own advantages, repeatedly using illusions and mental weapons to coordinate surprise attacks, but he would still be caught by the opponent and given a chance to counterattack.

His injuries became more and more serious, and he even began to lose mental weapons.

"His injuries are more serious." Xu Jingming was very sure.

"I... I..." Lord Yan Zhai felt an extremely painful mental consciousness. It was already very uncomfortable to have his mind severely injured, let alone being pierced by the 'Rising Sun' move more than ninety times. Lord Yan Zhai felt that the mental consciousness of this clone had begun to become chaotic.

Even if he was confused, he still had to fight to the end.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the Red Lotus Fire and Void Abyss, rounds of rising suns pierced through Lord Yan Zhai's body.

Lord Yan Zhai was also extremely crazy, with only one thought in his mind: counterattack!

He seized every opportunity to pierce Xu Jingming's body with the Demonic Sound Fork. Xu Jingming was also increasingly cautious. Even if he was pierced by the Demonic Sound Fork, he tried his best to throw the mental weapon into the Mind World.

But when five clones were lost, the three mental long spears were finally taken away.

Xu Jingming only had three seriously injured clones left!

"Ahhh~~~" Lord Yan Zhai was completely confused and screamed madly, only knowing to attack frantically.

"Kill!"

Xu Jingming's three seriously injured clones were still attacking. Without mental weapons, they used their bodies as weapons! Mind and body united, performing spear techniques!

Finally—

When Xu Jingming only had two seriously injured clones left, the vast Sin Spring water floated there, no longer having self-awareness.

"I won." Xu Jingming looked at the three mental long spears and two Demonic Sound Forks floating in the spring water, and finally smiled.

From beginning to end, Lord Yan Zhai and Wu Ming did not support any power. Lord Yan Zhai did not send other clones to support, and Xu Jingming also only limited himself to eight clones, and did not add any more weapons.

"Relying on being able to hide, and relying on the restraint of mental weapons, I barely managed to win." Xu Jingming secretly sighed, and at the same time had already collected the Sin Spring water without self-awareness and the Demonic Sound Forks and other weapons.

"Wu Ming, you won." A voice came from afar, it was another clone of Lord Yan Zhai.

Lord Yan Zhai lost and had nothing to say.

Seemingly, he only had one clone, but in reality, it was not easy for him to cultivate a clone. It had taken him a long time to have twelve clones. This time, he lost one.

And Wu Ming? As a Mind World lineage, he could easily divide into a large number of clones! The value of his eight clones was far less than that of one of Lord Yan Zhai's.

"Lord Yan Zhai, do you still want this pair of Demonic Sound Forks?" Xu Jingming asked with a smile via voice transmission. "A pair of Demonic Sound lineage Third Realm weapons that are perfectly matched are very rare."

"Of course I want them." That voice said remotely.

"If you want them, I can sell them to you." Xu Jingming transmitted his voice. He couldn't use this pair of Demonic Sound Forks himself, so he definitely had to sell them. Obviously, Lord Yan Zhai was a buyer who could offer a high price.

"If you want to give them to me, I'll take them. But if you want me to buy them? I don't want them." The voice was very calm, with no sense of frustration from defeat.

"You don't want them? Are you sure?" Xu Jingming asked again via voice transmission, "Then I'll sell them to other high-dimensional lifeforms."

"As you wish!" The voice said and then didn't bother to say more.

If he didn't want them, he didn't want them.

He wouldn't regret what he had decided.

Xu Jingming shook his head and smiled, looking around: "It's time to go back." He immediately遁入心界 (dùn rù xīn jiè, escaped into the Mind World) and embarked on his return journey.

On the way back, Xu Jingming was also calculating his spoils of war.

"This time, I obtained another complete Abyss Red Lotus, and a pair of Third Realm weapons 'Demonic Sound Forks'. Added together, that's enough for more than 200 drops of Abyss Motherblood. Counting some of the gains from the previously seized Clear Spirit Ice Mountain, I really earned a lot. At least I can afford to buy a Mind World lineage Third Realm weapon." Xu Jingming calculated while happily hurrying on his way.

At this moment, among the many Abyss Lords, the story of 'Wu Ming' in the recent three hundred years also began to spread.
