Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

When the "Lu Chen" emanating demonic energy emerged from Ning Jing Dao Ren's mirror, he also unleashed a sword strike. The next moment, a sword aura identical to the one Lu Chen had unleashed slashed out from "Lu Chen's" sword.

Immediately afterwards, the two sword energies collided, producing a violent explosion. After the two sword energies exploded, neither side was injured.

Lu Chen then asked the system, "System, can you identify what kind of magical artifact that mirror is?"

A prompt immediately appeared in front of Lu Chen's eyes.

This item is called the Nine Nether Mirror, a low-grade spiritual artifact. It can replicate a spirit with the same strength and aura as an enemy.

Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chen was taken aback. Could he replicate a spirit with the same strength as his enemy?

If one possesses this magical artifact, wouldn't they be invincible?

Such a powerful spiritual artifact, how come it's only Earth-rank? Shouldn't it be Emperor-rank?

Just when Lu Chen thought the system had made a mistake, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"This magical artifact can only replicate the enemy's apparent strength, and it is ineffective against those above the Saint level. It also cannot replicate the enemy's hidden strength, and once replicated, it cannot be replicated a second time for a short period of time."

Lu Chen realized that this was how it was; no wonder the Nine Nether Mirror was only a low-grade spiritual artifact.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly had an idea. Since the spirit not far away had copied his strength, could it also operate the Chaos Demon Extermination Technique?

It should be noted that the Chaos Demon-Slaying Technique is a technique specifically designed to suppress demonic energy. At this moment, the spirit body is emitting such a dense amount of demonic energy. If the Chaos Demon-Slaying Technique is activated, wouldn't the spirit body simply self-destruct?

Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, the spirit Lu Chen, holding the fake God-Slaying Sword, charged directly towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen remained calm; a slight smile played on his lips as he prepared to test his theory.

Immediately, Lu Chen raised the sword in his hand and aimed it at the spirit Lu Chen. Then he began to circulate the Chaos Demon-Slaying Technique. As the Chaos Demon-Slaying Technique circulated in Lu Chen's body, strands of white spiritual energy emanated from Lu Chen's body and gathered in the sword.

Upon seeing the white spiritual energy emanating from Lu Chen, the spirit Lu Chen not only did not feel afraid, but also raised the fake God-Slaying Sword in his hand and then imitated Lu Chen to circulate the Chaos Demon-Slaying Technique.

However, at that moment, the spirit Lu Chen's body shattered into tiny grains of light.

Seeing this, the members of the Yin Huo Sect were stunned. Their leader's move was powerful enough to fight even against a ninth-level Guixu Realm expert. Why was it broken so quickly?

At this moment, Daoist Ningjing also felt something was wrong. He hadn't noticed anything wrong with the spirit body replicated by the Nine Nether Mirror, but it just collapsed inexplicably.

The fact that the Nine Nether Mirror's spirit could be destroyed so quickly shows that the person in front of him has some strength, so Daoist Ningjing immediately abandoned his contempt.

The next moment, countless mirrors appeared in the void. These mirrors flew around Lu Chen at an extremely fast speed, and Lu Chen's figure was reflected in each mirror.

Daoist Ningjing shouted, "The Great Dream of Spring and Autumn!!!"

As Ning Jing Dao Ren finished speaking, Lu Chen immediately felt somewhat dazed. He vaguely seemed to see his wives and concubines appearing in the void.

Lu Chen instantly realized that this was a mental attack, so he immediately circulated the spiritual energy in his body to stabilize his mind.

As a cultivator in the Returning Void Realm, Lu Chen's divine sense was already extremely powerful and not so easy to breach.

Seeing that Lu Chen broke free from control in a very short time, Ning Jing Dao Ren felt a bad premonition again. Logically speaking, his Spring and Autumn Great Dream Technique should be able to easily control a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage has a stable Dao heart and a powerful divine sense, it would still take some time for them to break free from his control. Yet, this person in front of him only lost his senses slightly.

He broke free of control so quickly. Is he really just a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Never mind, since neither the Nine Nether Mirror nor the Spring and Autumn Great Dream Technique had any effect on this person, he had no choice but to take action himself.

The next moment, another person who looked exactly like Lu Chen walked out of the Nine Nether Mirror, but this person's aura was much stronger.

Seeing yet another person who looked exactly like him appear, Lu Chen immediately said to the system, "System, didn't you say that the Nine Nether Mirror couldn't replicate a physical body like mine in a short time? How come the Nine Nether Mirror replicated another spirit body like me so quickly?"

Although Lu Chen wasn't afraid of the spirit body replicated by the Nine Nether Mirror, the fact that this spirit body, which exuded a strong demonic aura, looked exactly like him made Lu Chen feel very uncomfortable.

The system replied, "This person is not a spirit, but Ning Jing Daoist in disguise, using the power of the Nine Nether Mirror."

Besides replicating spirits, the Nine Nether Mirror also has an additional ability: to help its owner change their appearance.

Hearing the system's words, Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said to Ning Jing Daoist, "You like imitating others so much, are you too ugly to be seen by others?"

Ning Jing Daoist was not angered by Lu Chen. He was indeed very ugly, especially after he became a demon, his appearance became even more unsightly, so he had not shown his true face for hundreds of years.

Ning Jing Daoist said calmly, "I am indeed ugly, but I will soon have a perfect face."

At this point, a cold glint flashed in Ning Jing Dao Ren's eyes, and Lu Chen instantly understood what Ning Jing Dao Ren meant. Ning Jing Dao Ren wanted to tear off his face and turn it into his own.

It's not surprising that a demonic cultivator would possess the ability to change faces, especially since Daoist Ningjing exudes the power of the Heavenly Demon and is a demonic envoy.

Without further hesitation, Daoist Ningjing raised his hand, and countless skeletons flew out from behind him. Daoist Ningjing thought to himself that even if this person truly possessed the strength to fight against someone in the Guixu Realm, he could not possibly withstand the erosion of demonic energy and the power of the Heavenly Demon.

In particular, the power of the Heavenly Demon is extremely effective against cultivators. Once a cultivator is tainted by the power of the Heavenly Demon, their spirit is likely to suffer, and their strength will also decline.

Seeing the skulls flying towards him in a crisscross pattern, Lu Chen did not hesitate at all and immediately took out the exorcism banner.

The moment the exorcism banner appeared in Lu Chen's hand, Daoist Ning Jing felt immense suppression. The demonic energy on his body instantly became extremely agitated, and even the Heavenly Demon Power within his body seemed to want to break free.

Ning Jing Daoist's gaze was fixed on the exorcism banner in Lu Chen's hand. His discomfort only started after that man took out that strange banner, which clearly had a problem.

Even knowing that there was something wrong with the banner, Daoist Ningjing did not back down. With a wave of his hand, a monster formed from the power of the Heavenly Demon immediately appeared above his head.

The monster grew countless arms and followed behind the skeletons, heading straight for Lu Chen.

Just as the skeletons were about to reach Lu Chen, he activated the Exorcism Banner, which instantly emitted a seven-colored light. (End of Chapter)
