Journey to the West: A clone sacrifices to the heavens, possessing boundless magical power.

Sun Wukong neither dodged nor evaded, but instead advanced. The golden cudgel in his hand grew larger in the wind, transforming into a giant pillar that could support the sky, and smashed down on the spear tip that was thrusting towards him!

"clang!!!"

A deafening roar, like the first thunderclap at the beginning of time.

At the point where the stick and the gun clashed, the air instantly distorted, forming a visible, transparent ripple that spread in all directions.

Fan Yuan felt an irresistible force crashing into him. The wolf demon clone he controlled, along with dozens of lesser demons around him, were instantly flung away like fallen leaves swept up by a gale, crashing heavily into the mountain wall behind them.

"puff!"

The wolf demon clone spat out a mouthful of demon blood, and his internal organs seemed to have shifted. He struggled to look up and saw that wherever the ripples passed, trees as thick as bowls were cut in half, and hard rocks were crushed into dust.

Many lesser demons who got too close didn't even have time to scream before their demon cores were shattered by the aftershocks, turning them into a pile of minced meat.

This is a battle at the level of a powerful being! The aftershocks alone are enough to instantly kill these lowly demons!

Fan Yuan was shocked, but dared not be distracted in the slightest. Through the wolf demon's clone, he saw that Sun Wukong's golden cudgel was wrapped with a mysterious and profound charm.

It possesses an extreme sharpness and versatility, as if all things in the world are fragile and easily destroyed before it, yet it also seems to be able to transform into all things at will, without any fixed form.

At the entrance to Black Wind Cave, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

Every battle between Sun Wukong and the Black Bear Spirit seemed to reshape the terrain of this mountain range, with the scattered gusts of wind transforming into invisible blades that shattered everything around them.

The wolf demon clone controlled by Fan Yuan was clinging tightly to a boulder, using all its demonic power to resist the all-pervasive pressure.

Simply observing is the limit.

"Not enough...not nearly enough!"

Inside the cellar, Fan Yuan's main body clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Through the perspective of his clone, he could sense the Daoist principles flowing through the staffs and spears, but this was ultimately just scratching the surface; no matter how much he observed, he could never learn it.

But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sun Wukong's golden cudgel is a divine treasure forged by Laozi himself, containing the most primordial power in the world. Even if he is only swept by the aftershocks, the enlightenment he gains in that instant is far beyond what he could achieve through a hundred years of hard work.

Of course, the price would be the complete annihilation of this wolf demon clone that had been painstakingly refined.

But clones are meant for scouting and for dying.

Fan Yuan no longer hesitated for a moment.

With a thought, the wolf demon clone lurking behind the boulder moved. It pulled out a tattered cloth bag from its bosom and dumped everything inside—waste pills, spiritual herbs, and medicinal dregs scavenged from the Black Bear's alchemy room—into its mouth.

boom!

The violent and chaotic spiritual energy, like a flood bursting its banks, exploded instantly within the clone's body.

These discarded pills and spiritual herbs contain immense energy, but they conflict with each other and have chaotic properties. When they rush into the meridians, it's not like they're nourishing the body, but more like they're scraping the bone.

The wolf demon clone's body instantly turned crimson, and beneath its skin, dark blue blood vessels bulged and burst like writhing dragons. Black blood seeped from its seven orifices, and the bones throughout its body emitted cracking sounds.

This clone is about to explode and die.

But this is exactly the moment Fan Yuan wanted!

He forcefully suppressed the energy within his clone that was about to spiral out of control, focusing all his divine senses on perception, his eyes fixed on the battlefield.

The opportunity is coming!

With a long roar, Sun Wukong drew a perfect arc with his golden cudgel, sweeping away dozens of lesser demons who had come to help him, sending them flying backward with broken bones and shattered tendons.

This strike cleared out a section of the area in front of him.

The old forces have been exhausted, and the new forces have not yet emerged.

The devastating aftershocks of the staff were sweeping towards the corner where Fan Yuan's clone was located.

It's now!

"Rush!"

Just before the clone was about to self-destruct, Fan Yuan controlled the clone to suddenly burst out from behind the boulder.

He concentrated all his demonic power, divine sense, and the violent energy within his body that was about to explode into his eyes and spiritual senses, facing the edge of the seemingly weakened wind from the staff.

The next moment.

"puff!"

The wolf demon clone, which had expanded to its limit, vanished silently the moment it came into contact with the staff wind, like a snowflake exposed to sunlight.

From flesh and blood to bones, from demonic power to the imprint of the soul, everything was transformed into the most primordial particles and dissipated between heaven and earth.

……

The back hill, the cellar.

"Ugh!"

Fan Yuan suddenly tilted his head back. He was covered in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water, but his face showed unprecedented excitement!

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the [Primordial Myriad Manifestations Mirror] was vibrating violently, and its ancient mirror surface burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light, as if to illuminate the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Lines of Dao runes condensed and took shape at an unprecedented speed.

[The clone wolf demon has died; the karmic settlement is underway...]

[Clone survival time: three days.]

[Cause of death of the clone: ​​Killed by the aftershocks of Sun Wukong's golden cudgel.]

[Clone feedback rate: 10%]

[Settlement complete. The host can choose one of the following three options:]

Three beams of light shone on the mirror's surface:

[I. Cultivation Infusion: The Spiritual Essence of the Wolf Demon]

[Note: This refers to all the pure spiritual energy obtained by the wolf demon avatar from refining discarded medicinal herbs before its annihilation.]

[Part Two: Fragments of Memory: The extreme terror of the moment the clone was locked onto by the Golden Cudgel.]

[Note: Acquiring this item will greatly enhance your understanding of the power of magical artifacts.]

[III. Insights into the Technique: The rudimentary divine power contained within Sun Wukong's casually flicked staff.]

[Description: This is a fragment of divine power extracted from the lingering energy of the Golden Cudgel, condensed and unleashed. It also incorporates the Black Bear Spirit's technique of harnessing the demonic power of the earth's veins. Upon acquisition, one can comprehend the rudimentary form of a divine power capable of instantaneous bursts of energy.]

The first option, cultivation empowerment, is extremely tempting and the safest choice, as it can immediately boost one's strength.

The second option, memory fragments, is rather useless for me right now.

Fan Yuan's gaze finally fell on the third option.

Supernatural!

This is truly priceless! Even though it's only in its early stages.

Cultivation can be practiced slowly, and experience can be accumulated gradually, but supernatural powers are the ladder to Golden Immortal, Great Luo Immortal, and even higher realms!

"I choose three!"

As his divine sense made its choice, the light representing his comprehension of cultivation techniques on the Primordial Myriad Appearances Mirror suddenly transformed into a torrent of information, ten times more violent than ever before, surging fiercely into the depths of his soul!

"boom!!!"

Fan Yuan felt as if his head had been split open, and a massive amount of profound information exploded in his mind like the Big Bang.
