Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Chapter 205: Thousand Shadow Clones Head to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!
As Lin Ye's mind fell on the '+' behind [Avatar], changes occurred.

Suddenly, a very strange feeling emerged in his mind.

He immediately separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness to find out what was going on.

Sure enough, when Lin Ye's consciousness passed through the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda and entered the first floor.

"Om..."

The entire first floor suddenly lit up, and the consciousness that entered the blood-colored tower began to change under the inexplicable power.

Not only the giant tower has changed, even Lin Ye has changed.

At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

After careful perception, it was discovered that a trace of essence and blood appeared on the first floor of the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda under the guidance of a mysterious force.

As this strand of consciousness was swallowed up, Lin Ye separated another strand of consciousness and entered the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda to observe all the changes.

As he sensed it, an increasingly powerful mysterious force continued to entangle his blood, essence, and consciousness, gradually forming a transparent blood-colored giant.

Among them, that consciousness became increasingly clear.

This feeling is like a baby in its mother's belly, or in an eggshell... slowly growing.

At the same time, a voice appeared in Lin Ye's mind——

[The Thousand Shadow Clone is being conceived. Estimated time: two hours.]

"Is this the doppelganger I'm conceiving? It's such an amazing feeling."

Lin Ye's consciousness watched without blinking as his blood essence and soul source became entangled with each other.

A tiny embryo grew rapidly under a force that he could not understand.

At first, it was just an egg-sized embryo that constantly absorbed the energy from the surroundings and slowly grew... just like a whale swallowing and constantly absorbing digestive energy...

And the connection between Lin Ye and it became clearer as the embryo grew larger.

This scene gave Lin Ye a great shock.

The unprecedented feeling made Lin Ye think of some past events——

In the original novel, Luo Feng gained the innate secret method of clones by taking over the body of a giant golden-horned beast, and later gave birth to his own Earth clone.

Later, with the acquisition of the Demon Killer skin, he had a second Demon Killer clone... until the final Blood Sea clone...

And relying solely on the system panel, Lin Ye not only possessed his own domain, but also activated this clone.

Moreover, in his subconscious, there is an inevitable connection between this panel and the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda.

Perhaps I am too weak now and cannot find the connection between them.

But Lin Ye has always had this doubt in his heart and wants to find out the truth after he becomes stronger.

After all, the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda that could bring him from that world to the star-devouring sky is definitely not an ordinary thing!

"I don't know which one is more powerful, this 'Thousand Tribulations Pagoda' or Zuo Shan Ke's 'Star Tower'!"

For no reason, this thought suddenly popped up in Lin Ye's mind.

Fortunately, he stopped this meaningless thought in time.

He is still weak now, and thinking too much will not do him any good.

If you want to explore the secrets, you will be qualified only if you are strong enough!
Calming his mind, Lin Ye quietly watched the formation of this clone.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

Inside the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda, this bloody embryo is constantly absorbing energy from the outside world.

The entire tower also emitted a red glow, coordinating with the gestation of his clone.

The center of the sea of ​​consciousness.

The four miniature light balls representing the fourth-order stellar mental power also began to spin rapidly.

The endless stream of spiritual power, mixed in with the energy of the universe, continuously washed into the ever-growing embryo.

At the same time, the genetic energy overflowing from Lin Ye’s dantian also entered.

In Lin Ye's perception, this embryo was like a bottomless pit that accepted everyone.

Whether it was cosmic energy, genetic energy, or spiritual power and the mysterious energy of the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda, they were all swallowed up one by one, basically without letting go of a single bit.

This also made him more curious about how far his clone could grow.

……

Time passed by bit by bit, and the embryo in the clone was also growing continuously.

After two hours, this "big egg" with a layer of faint light curtain slowly revealed its true appearance as Lin Ye looked at it.

Lin Ye widened his eyes and looked at the very small clone, feeling surprised.

At the moment when this clone appeared, the surrounding tower walls emitted a hazy light, as if echoing it.

There are also some strange symbols on it, flashing continuously.

Then, Lin Ye's consciousness slowly swept across the first floor of the tower, which was engraved with strange symbols and emitted a faint mysterious power from time to time.

At this time, he couldn't help but have a strange thought in his mind: "The existence of this tower is likely to be more powerful and advanced than this original universe."

However, as soon as Lin Ye had this thought, he immediately felt a terrifying pressure as if the sky was falling.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately retracted the idea and looked at the increasingly clear clone.

Opposite him, the clone looked like a child about one or two years old.

He just floated quietly beside Lin Ye, curled up tightly like a cold puppy.
However, his appearance is 90% similar to Lin Ye, and he is very cute.

This was inevitable, because this was a clone bred from his soul and blood.
Lin Ye looked at Qianying's clone who could communicate with his thoughts, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

This is his first clone!
"Hoo! Hoo!"

Looking at this clone, Lin Ye clearly felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster.

Just as Lin Ye's consciousness came into contact with it, a piece of information immediately appeared in his mind.

[Thousand Shadow Clone: ​​A clone derived from the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda and Lin Ye's blood and soul. Different from simple energy, it has its own life and soul.]

[Feature ①: The energy is connected to the Qianjie Pagoda, making it immune to all attacks and having a very high affinity with the laws of space.]

[Feature ②: As the strength increases, it can transform into ten, a hundred, or even a thousand clones, with first-class resistance to attacks! ]

【Feature ③: The clone practices alone and absorbs three to ten times as much energy as the original body.】

【Feature ④：……】

【Features ……】

……

After reading line after line of characteristic information, Lin Ye was stunned!
With so many abilities, it is countless times more than Luo Feng’s Demon Killer Clan clones!
And the most important thing is that, according to his will, this clone can have his own thoughts, but it still mainly obeys Lin Ye.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Without any warning, wisps of rich crimson light suddenly appeared, surrounding the Thousand Shadow clones.

The latter seemed to merge with the space and disappeared directly in the first floor of the tower.

If it weren't for its connection with Lin Ye, it would basically be invisible to the naked eye.

Then, he went directly back to the training room from the first floor of the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda.

Prepare to call your friends to come and see the Thousand Shadow Clones.

Just like that, Babata and Chan'er were also called out by Lin Ye.

Among them was Huo Rong who was just waking up from a sweet dream.

"My little master, what's the matter?"

Huo Rong rubbed his eyes with his big red-haired hands. He looked at Lin Ye with sleepy eyes and asked, "Are you ready to be teleported to the Kingdom of God? Where are you going this time?"

"I am indeed planning to go out, but I am not in a hurry now!"

Lin Ye said with a smile, then looked at Chan'er and Babata and blinked: "Chan'er, Babata, what do you see in front of you?"

Then, he had a thought.

This clone suddenly appeared in front of Chan'er, about one meter away.

"What what?"

Babata followed Lin Ye's line of sight and said, shaking his head, "There's nothing here!"

call!call!
After saying that, she flapped her crystal clear little wings and flew several circles in front of Lin Ye.

Even when Babata passed through this clone, he didn't notice it at all. "Young Master, you called us out, do you want to talk about something?" Chan'er's bright eyes couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, as if she was puzzled.

It seemed as if the Thousand Shadow clones that were so close to him were invisible.

At this moment, Babata, Chan'er and Huo Rong all became blind.

But the one who felt even more puzzled than these two intelligent beings was Lin Ye.

He looked at the 'Thousand Shadow Clones' that were so close to him, but Babata didn't feel anything at all, as if there was nothing in front of him.

Even the two immortal beings, Chan'er and Huo Rong, had no idea of ​​this clone that appeared out of thin air.

This kind of awareness is not only at the perceptual level, but also at the soul level.

At the side, Huo Rong touched his simple head in boredom, shaking his head and saying, "There's nothing. I don't know... I don't know!"

Lin Ye: "..."

For a moment, even his head was a little confused.

All these strange behaviors can only be attributed to the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda in his mind.

Perhaps it was its existence that blocked these people's perception.

Perhaps, this mysterious Thousand Tribulations Pagoda isolates more than just these Babata and his friends...

……

after one day.

After finishing all the Thousand Shadow clones, Lin Ye held another meeting in the virtual universe.

Without exception.

All the participants in this meeting are the high-level combat forces of the earth, including Lei Shen, Hong, Ma Qingfeng, and Mo Qingdi. All the speakers and powerful congressmen are here.

The purpose is the next trip to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

After their journey to the Qiulong Star, they gained more insights into the mysterious and magnificent vast deep space.

With improved insights come more mysteries to explore.

So this time Lin Ye proposed a plan to go to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Once it was proposed, basically no one stopped it.

To put it bluntly, they also want to see what this medium-sized cosmic civilization that rules over them looks like.

"I think we should take all seven speakers with us, and only leave our captain of the Guardians of the Galaxy to guard the house."

At the round table meeting, the bald man touched his shiny bald head and set his eyes on Huang Shaoying.

After all, as the number one leader of the Galactic Guardians, he has the heavy responsibility of defending the Earth and even the Galaxy.

Huang Shaoying: “…”

Facing the outspoken Lei Shen, Huang Shaoying shrugged helplessly and said directly: "If I stay, you, the third speaker, can't escape either."

"Hahaha, I'm kidding."

The bald man didn't dare to look at the Seventh Speaker's eyes. He stared at Lin Ye and said with a smile: "First Speaker, I think since we are going to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, we should bring along those of us who want to go out and see the world!"

"Yeah!"

Ma Qingfeng nodded repeatedly and said, "But I don't know that during the years you were in seclusion, the number of planetary-level powerhouses on our Earth has increased sevenfold from more than 300 to a terrifying 2,500!"

"Very good results, all thanks to your management!"

Lin Ye smiled and nodded, then he swept his eyes over everyone present and said solemnly: "This time we are going to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire,
In fact, it is for the Realm Master World on the Black Flame Star, not a vacation as you imagine. "

"This voyage is completely different from your trip to Qionglong Star. So we have to correct you from the root."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference hall fell silent.

Both Lei Shen and Hong looked at each other in disbelief.

But soon, they agreed on the result -

Only the Speaker and the top 20 senators in terms of combat power are eligible to go to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The rest of the people will continue to stay on Earth to guard their homes.

And this time when he went to Black Flame Star, Lin Ye also planned to do something very important——

The cosmic mercenary trainee assessment will be given to everyone present, so that they can also join the 'Cosmic Mercenary Alliance' and become trainee mercenaries there.

With this identity, it will be more convenient for Earth warriors to travel the universe alone in the future.

After determining the number of people, the next step is to arrange the work.

In less than half a day, everything on Earth had been arranged in an orderly manner after consultation among the seven speakers.

During this process, Lin Ye was basically a bystander.

Because Hong and his men were the ones in charge of the business during these years of seclusion, he, as a hands-off manager, naturally could not match them in terms of performance.

……

three days later.

The group set off in a mighty procession, including the seven most powerful speakers and twenty congressmen on earth.

Even hundreds of top-level stellar slaves were brought along.

Among them are spiritualists and warriors.

But without exception, they are all at the peak of the stellar level, and their strength is extremely fierce.

What's more, Lin Ye also found some tactics suitable for joint attacks among the secret methods left by Venerable Fenchen.

Only three to five top-level stellar slaves are needed to unleash a terrifying combat power comparable to the second or third level of the universe!
The most important thing is that these powers can be exerted on any slave at will, so that the attack can be everywhere.

In addition, all the people who were traveling were wearing the same level three force suits and level three vulcan suits.

Lin Ye didn't think about the idea of ​​self-defense at all. Instead, it was Chan'er and Babata who brought it up.

When everything was ready, Lin Ye, as the initiator of this voyage, directly requested Huo Rong to teleport to the Kingdom of God.

According to its method of teleportation to the kingdom of God that can make the king immortal, it will take at most one day to reach the capital of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

For this reason, Lin Ye was naturally happy to see it happen.

……

In the vast universe, a pyramid-shaped, silver-white spaceship is gradually becoming clearer.

The surrounding space rippled slightly like water waves.

This mechanical spaceship carrying the Earth seeds slowed down from more than ten times the speed of light to zero and broke away from the dark universe.

Buzz! ! !
Lin Ye and the others only felt a slight ripple in the spacecraft, and then the 100% virtual scenery around them gradually became clear.

Swish! ! !
In the vast starry sky, an extremely large and bright planet appeared in the distance.

This is a giant planet that emits bright white light all over its body. Even the Qiulong Star is less than one-tenth of its size.

And around this magnificent planet, there are a number of super-large satellites orbiting.

Beyond these satellites is the floating asteroid belt.

"Master Lin Ye, that is the capital star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and the rest are its satellites!"

Babata said excitedly, "I have been here before with Duoyi, one of the nine immortals under my master. It was very prosperous!"

"Duoyi?" Lin Ye frowned slightly.

"She is an immortal spirit who is good at spiritual mind control under the old master. She is from an alien race! Of course, her strength cannot catch up with Lord Huo Rong!"

As he spoke, Babata did not forget to look at Huo Rong who was dozing off beside him, and said with a smile.

"Well, I see!"

Lin Ye nodded, looked towards the bright white Black Dragon Emperor Star, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the Imperial Capital of Black Dragon Mountain first, and then go to explore the Realm Master World of Black Flame Star!"

"What do you think? Is this good?"

"Okay!" everyone said in unison.

"Let's head towards the Black Dragon Emperor Star!"

Following Lin Ye's order, the entire silver-white spaceship flew straight towards the Black Dragon Mountain Empire in the distance.
