The First Venerable of All Paths

"Blood-Refined Evil Puppet, Illusionary Spirit Replica?"

Looking at the figure that looked exactly like her, the girl tilted her head and said, "Senior Brother Song, do you know about this?"

Song Fan nodded, his expression grave, and said, "I once saw it in an ancient book, but the details were unclear. I also know that once it is replicated, its cultivation level and martial arts will be exactly the same as ours, essentially making it another version of ourselves."

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be very difficult to deal with?"

The girl frowned, seemingly also feeling that things were a bit tricky.

"good."

Song Fan licked his dry lips and said, "Illusory Spirit Replication is an extremely sinister and bloody secret technique. The existence of this Illusory Spirit Replication is to replace us, and it will be a fight to the death."

"In other words, what we are facing now is another version of ourselves."

"I see."

The girl said in a relaxed tone, "So, this thing isn't as difficult to deal with as Senior Brother said."

"Junior sister, you make it sound so easy."

Song Fan smiled bitterly and said, "These things are no different from us in terms of cultivation and strength. To defeat them is like defeating yourself."

"It's easy."

The girl pointed ahead to the boy and girl who looked exactly like her fellow disciples and said, "I'll deal with you, you deal with me."

Song Fan's eyes lit up, and he said, "That makes sense."

"In this way, we don't need to confront ourselves, and we have a greater chance of success."

Then, Song Fan hesitated and said, "But Junior Sister, I'm worried that you've chosen my replica of the evil puppet as your opponent..."

"I'm not as weak as my senior brother thinks."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she vanished from her spot like a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan, choosing "Song Fan" as her opponent.

The girl's attack, seemingly soft and weak, was actually firm beneath its gentleness.

Each palm strike left "Song Fan" utterly defenseless.

Upon seeing this, Song Fan was also startled.

"Junior sister's strength seems to be even greater than I imagined."

Originally, he was somewhat worried about the girl.

This put his mind at ease.

Seeing the evil puppet that had replicated his junior sister rushing towards her, Song Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he stomped his foot on the ground.

"Bang!"

The ground exploded, and Song Fan used the force to burst forward, throwing a punch at his Evil Puppet Junior Sister.

This punch was incredibly powerful, showing absolutely no mercy.

To deal with the evil puppet, we must exert all our strength and never give it a chance to breathe.

Otherwise, once the opponent becomes familiar with your fighting style and understands your fighting rhythm, the consequences will be even more dangerous.

"Damn it, how come this thing is getting stronger and stronger?"

Qi Changfeng looked at his other self, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

He entered this place inexplicably, thinking it was a great stroke of luck.

Who would have thought that I would encounter another version of myself?

Moreover, this self, in terms of cultivation techniques, martial arts, even the level of martial veins, the strength of the soul, and the fighting style, is just like a copy of myself.

What infuriated Qi Changfeng was that, as the battle continued, he discovered that he was constantly improving and becoming stronger.

He tried to get rid of the other person, but failed.

Because the opponent's movement speed is the same as his own, and they may even be able to know his plans a step ahead.

Qi Changfeng's eyes were sinister. He gathered his Yuan energy in his palm and unleashed a powerful strike.

The evil puppet "Qi Changfeng" also unleashed a palm strike.

The two palms collided, and a dull force erupted.

Both Qi Changfengs shuddered simultaneously, then stepped back.

But at that moment, Qi Changfeng raised his left hand, and a talisman flew out.

"break!"

The talisman exploded, and a golden longsword emerged from it, slashing down towards the evil puppet "Qi Changfeng".

Golden knife talisman!

Activating this talisman releases a powerful burst of sword intent, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy.

Qi Changfeng's golden talisman is equivalent to a full-force attack from a peak-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, making it extremely powerful.

However, to Qi Changfeng's surprise, the evil puppet "Qi Changfeng" twisted its body like a snake, transforming into several "Qi Changfeng" and spreading outwards.

It seemed somewhat ridiculous, but he nimbly dodged the golden knife's attack.

The next moment, several "Qi Changfeng" figures coalesced in front of Qi Changfeng, transforming into the evil puppet "Qi Changfeng".

Phantom Serpent Step!

This is a unique movement technique of the Dao Seeking Sect. Although it is only of the upper grade of the Yellow Rank, it can create several afterimages to confuse the enemy.

Qi Changfeng was shocked to find that the Phantom Serpent Step of this evil puppet "Qi Changfeng" was even more exquisite than his own, and had even reached the level of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

Just as Qi Changfeng was about to react, something even more unexpected happened.

The evil puppet "Qi Changfeng" quickly formed hand seals, his palms crackling with red lightning, and slammed a palm towards himself.

"Five Extremes Thunder Hand?!"

Qi Changfeng exclaimed in surprise, uttering four words, his face showing deep terror.

"This thing knows what I'm thinking!"

Whether it was using the Golden Knife Talisman or later using the Five Extremes Thunder Hand to completely defeat the opponent, it was all part of Qi Changfeng's well-thought-out plan.

He never expected this.

This evil puppet, "Qi Changfeng," knew what was on someone's mind beforehand and then used the same methods against them.

But the situation left Qi Changfeng no time to think further.

The Five Extremes Thunder Hand is also a martial art of the Dao Seeking Sect, at the lower level of the Profound rank.

However, if this martial art is cultivated to its highest level, it can tear apart lightning.

In reality, it can be ranked as a high-grade Xuan-level.

However, there are not many people in the entire Dao Seeking Sect who can cultivate it to a perfect state.

Qi Changfeng understood perfectly.

If he can't dodge this attack, his martial meridians will likely be shattered by the palm strike.

"Whoosh!"

In extreme danger, Qi Changfeng retreated rapidly, then split into three.

Phantom Serpent Step!

The evil puppet "Qi Changfeng" lunged forward, his fierce palm strike landing with overwhelming force.

"puff!"

Qi Changfeng's body exploded, but it was only a blur.

A hint of surprise appeared on the stiff, cold face of the evil puppet "Qi Changfeng".

"die!"

A loud shout rang out, and a palm strike covered in black lightning, like a thunderclap, struck the back of the evil puppet "Qi Changfeng" without any mercy.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out.

The back of the evil puppet "Qi Changfeng" was torn open, and black lightning burst forth, blasting it to pieces.

"call!"

Crimson power surged from the evil puppet "Qi Changfeng" and drilled into the crimson eyeball in mid-air.

The image of Qi Changfeng was reflected in his eyes.

"Challenge successful! You may enter the secret realm for further trials!"

Immediately afterwards, a cold voice suddenly rang in Qi Changfeng's ears.

"A secret realm?"

Panting heavily, Qi Changfeng was first stunned, then overjoyed, exclaiming, "This place is actually a secret realm?!"

Thinking of this, Qi Changfeng's expression brightened.

Even within the Dao Seeking Sect, the secret realm is considered an extremely top-tier cultivation paradise.

Unless there are special circumstances, Qi Changfeng is not qualified to enter those secret realms for cultivation.

if......

"If I could become the master of this secret realm, then..."

Qi Changfeng took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented sharpness.

"Then within a year, I will surely reach the Divine Realm!"

A master of the Divine Intent Realm can become an outer sect elder in the Dao Seeking Sect.

With his status as the master of the secret realm, Qi Changfeng was confident that he could become an inner sect elder.

"What a fortunate opportunity!"

Qi Changfeng clenched his fists and shouted sternly, "Anyone who dares to take it from me will die!"

"You worthless wretch, how dare you block my path? Die!"

Lu Ci flickered his Blood-Drinking Spear, the spear shadow flashing, and pierced through several monsters in front of him.

After dealing with the monsters, Lu Ci put away his gun and stood up, looking at the blood-red eyes that had appeared on the rock in front of him, his expression wary.

His eyes opened, and blood gushed forth.

The next moment, another version of myself emerged from it.

Both wielded long spears and both possessed the cultivation level of the Condensation Realm.

"Blood-Refined Evil Puppet?"

Lu Ci grinned maliciously, frantically channeling his inner energy into the Blood-Drinking Spear.

"As expected of a secret realm trial, I, this young master, will take the master of this secret realm!"

A crimson spear light burst forth, enveloping all directions.

......

"Boom!"

The Thunderfire Gun pierced straight through the tree trunk.

With a flick of the gun, the tree trunk shattered into pieces.

But the next moment, a gunshot came whistling through the tree trunk.

It also carried lightning and fire, and even contained the power of frost, as it enveloped Fang Xuan.

"what?"

Fang Xuan exclaimed in surprise, and as his spear trembled, a fierce battle intent swept in all directions.

A hundred battles, a cycle of reincarnation!

The incoming gunfire was completely blocked.

But then he quickly changed tactics, like a blood-red thunder dragon, and attacked Fang Xuan.

"Man and gun as one?"

Fang Xuan's eyes were bright. He held the gun with both hands and thrust it forward fiercely.

"The Azure Dragon Emerges from the Water!"

The next moment, a dragon's roar resounded.

On the Thunderfire Spear, thunder and fire condensed into a long dragon, which collided with the blood-red thunder dragon without any hesitation.

"Boom!"

The two dragons collided, unleashing a deafening roar that ripped up a palm-width of soil from the ground.

Leaves fell in abundance, and dust swirled in the air.

Fang Xuan stopped and calmly looked at the other version of himself that had emerged from the tree trunk.

"Oh? So you've finally decided to show yourself."

Seeing his own stiff expression, Fang Xuan wasn't too surprised; in fact, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The unknown is the most dangerous.

Fang Xuan had sensed something was wrong along the way, so he had been on guard and waiting for this moment.

"They can even create a Blood Refining Evil Puppet. It seems the owner of this secret realm is quite something."

This secret technique is also recorded in the Nine Emperors' lineage.

It's not because the Blood Refining Evil Puppet is anything special.

On the contrary, in the inherited memories of the Spirit Empress, this secret technique was greatly scorned.

While it can replicate martial artists, there are also drawbacks.

"Buzz!"

In the blink of an eye, the evil puppet "Fang Xuan" opposite him had already moved.

Without any hesitation or probing, the evil puppet swayed, like a dragon-fish.

Dragonfish Body Technique!

Moreover, its speed was even slightly faster than Fang Xuan's usual movements.

At the same time, the Thunderfire War Spear in his hand exploded with a thunderous roar.

Thunder and fire intertwined, transforming into a blood-red dragon, like a dragon spear, heading straight for Fang Xuan.

It was the Azure Dragon Emerging from the Water technique that Fang Xuan had just used!

Moreover, this shot was faster, more accurate, and more ruthless!

Seeing this, Fang Xuan twisted his spear, and the spear shaft transformed into more than a dozen spear shadows, shattering the blood-red dragon.

Meanwhile, the evil puppet "Fang Xuan" exuded an increasingly fierce aura.

With a thunderous roar, the spear in his hand unleashed boundless killing intent as he gently thrust it towards Fang Xuan.

At that moment, Fang Xuan could even feel that the other party was like an unparalleled spear master, thrusting a spear towards the mortal world.

His spear strikes are as swift as a divine being!

Seeing the spear thrust as fast as lightning, Fang Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He quickly planted the spear in the ground, then with two fingers together, slashed forward like a sword.

"Return to Nothingness Sword Qi, Slash!"

The sword bones trembled, and innate sword energy gathered at the fingertips, then was suddenly released.

"laugh!"

The sword energy, like a rainbow, pierced through the air and disappeared.

That domineering, almost divine spear technique was as fragile as paper, easily sliced ​​apart by the sword energy.

The blood-red spear also broke in two.

The sword energy continued its momentum, slicing across the neck of the evil puppet "Fang Xuan".

The evil puppet "Fang Xuan" trembled, and its lifeless eyes rolled as it looked at Fang Xuan, seemingly somewhat surprised.

"The Blood Refining Evil Puppet is said to be able to replicate anything, but that's only limited to ordinary power."

Fang Xuan said indifferently, "I am a sword cultivator, how can you possibly replicate me?"
