Chapter 521: Chapter 511: The Dragon’s Fear

Just at that moment, the Kunlun Mirror showed a reaction, and another Yi Zheng appeared in the mirror–not a shadow, because he was fragmented.

Then, the dismembered corpse flew out of the mirror, landing in front of Yi Zheng.

Yi Zheng stared at the broken corpses with a dazed expression, and for a moment, he didn’t even recognize that it was his own clone! The body had awakened its own consciousness, becoming an independent entity and severing its connection with Yi Zheng. Thus, Yi Zheng lost that mental link between the original and the clone and naturally couldn’t recognize the corpse as his clone.

With a face full of question marks, he asked the Kunlun Mirror, “This… is this me?”

No sooner had he spoken than the corpse exploded with a bang, and the remains turned into billowing black qi that surged into Yi Zheng’s body, heading straight for his Sea of Consciousness!

Yi Zheng was startled and hastily tried to defend himself, but the next moment he felt a familiar sensation–it was…

“Damn, this is my clone!” Yi Zheng finally realized what the corpse was all about.

Being of the same origin, the dispersed powerful Power of Soul entered his Sea of Consciousness and immediately fused with Yi Zheng’s soul.

That instant, Yi Zheng felt like his soul had taken drugs, becoming incredibly excited and comfortable as the power of his soul skyrocketed. How much it had increased, he didn’t even have a concept.

Right then, the Single-Horned Bull charged at him again, and Yi Zheng subconsciously threw a punch.

Immediately, he regretted it, shouting in his mind, “Damn it, I got carried away, thinking I was all that again, I’m gonna get hit…”

Countless times before, he thought he was ready, but each time he ended up getting a good thrashing.

This time, he was prepared to be beaten, but then…

Boom!

With that punch, Yi Zheng didn’t move an inch, while the Bull was blasted back three steps!

Yi Zheng was dumbfounded: “This… Damn it, I… I really did get stronger! I’m on fire!”

Yi Zheng immediately realized that his clone had been devouring Little Heaven Demons in the Heavenly Demon Realm. Although Little Heaven Demons weren’t strong, there were a vast number of them. This had boosted the soul power of Yi Zheng’s clone to an incredibly strong level.

And since his original self had absorbed the soul of the clone, his own soul power naturally received a qualitative enhancement!

At the same time, a large number of memories attached to the clone began to merge into Yi Zheng’s soul, and he saw everything that the clone had experienced, which left him quite frightened!

The method of creating clones had existed since ancient times, but not many cultivators practiced it.

The reason was simple: if a clone existed for too long, it would develop its own spirit, and over time, this spirit would become a new soul. At that point, it would compete with the original self for ownership of the body.

If this soul became strong enough, it could even reverse the control over the original!

Previously, Yi Zheng had sent his clone to the Heavenly Demon Realm to devour Little Heaven Demons, planning to retrieve it after a while. But after the clone went there, due to the barrier between two powerful worlds, Yi Zheng was unable to recall the clone.

If the clone at that time wasn’t a blank slate and could inherit Yi Zheng’s memories and knowledge, it would surely have hidden and secretly cultivated.

Luckily, the clone had a blank mind and absorbed the Arrogance from arrogance, not knowing how to low-key cultivate, and eventually attracted the attention of a powerful Heavenly Demon and was scattered.

Otherwise, if it were left to develop, Yi Zheng would have had a big problem later on!

“Thank goodness, thank goodness, I’m lucky.” Yi Zheng muttered in his heart, while also deciding never to casually throw a clone into another world again–it was too risky.

These thoughts flashed through his mind as the White Deer charged at him again. Yi Zheng, however, didn’t immediately clash with it. Instead, he used the Kunlun Mirror for protection, sat cross-legged in the air, and opened his mouth wide: “Absorb!”

The countless Bloodline thoughts previously shattered by the Kunlun Mirror flew toward him, and Yi Zheng swallowed this Bloodline Power into his mouth. As his body crackled, his soul power surged once more!

“Roar!”

The Bull, White Deer, White Goat, and various Mutant Beasts and Divine Beasts felt a great threat. These lingering thoughts let out a low roar, then gave up their battles against each other and all charged at Yi Zheng.

Almost simultaneously, Yi Zheng opened his eyes, waved his hand, and put away the Kunlun Mirror. Clenching his little fists, he bravely faced the countless Divine Beast and Mutant Beast remnants charging towards him.

With a grin, he said, “I feel like I’ve become awesome again!”

Then Yi Zheng swung his fists and threw a punch at the approaching forces!

Boom!

The Bull bore the brunt and took Yi Zheng’s punch head-on. Just a moment ago, the Bull was driven back three steps by one punch, but this time, Yi Zheng’s fist pierced right through the Bull’s skull, and then he opened his mouth to devour the shattered Bull–perfect inheritance!

“Ding! Congratulations on perfectly inheriting the Bloodline of the Bull, your defense greatly increased, receiving the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Constitution…”

With a series of prompt tones in disarray, Yi Zheng didn’t have the time to listen, as the thrill of his sudden power increase excited him. Swinging his fists, he went on the offensive, clashing with the remnant Divine and Mutant Beast souls.

Everywhere he went, the Little Rabbit punched out a Divine Beast with each blow, unstoppable…

Outside, Kong Ni and Zi Zhuang had their eyes glued to the sight!

Because they really didn’t know what to call this creature before them.

Rabbit ears blooming with flowers, tails with branches, scales growing under the white fur, even a dozen pairs of mismatched wings…

“Master, is… is little junior brother crossbred?” Zi Zhuang asked.

Kong Ni grinned bitterly and said, “This… I’ll be damned if I know, but… he can’t go on like this! In this world, all powerful Life choose one Dao and follow it to the end. He’s meddling in All Techniques of All Heavens, and he might end up pleasing none in the end.”

Zi Zhuang said, “Master, then why didn’t you remind him?”

Kong Ni glared at him, “Is it your place to say?”

After speaking, Kong Ni raised a hand and smacked Yi Zheng right across the face!

Smack!

A crisp sound rang out, and the Rabbit was sent spinning in place like a top, rapidly rotating.

Kong Ni also shouted in anger, “Fool, biting off more than you can chew. You can’t follow one path to darkness, and you can’t have your feet on hundreds of boats–do you think you’re a centipede? Do you have that much time to cultivate countless Daos? Aren’t you focused yet?”

This shout and the slap exploded like a loud bell in Yi Zheng’s sea of consciousness. Yi Zheng, who was enjoying his fight, suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face, and his soul was sent flying out three hundred miles…

His head buzzed, and Kong Ni’s warning came from above him.

But Yi Zheng was not happy and exclaimed, “Master, are we just going to ignore all these great Daos?”

Although Kong Ni had a rough personality, he was clearly not a simple brute. With a finesse in his roughness, he slapped Yi Zheng’s face again, sending him spinning in the opposite direction.

Kong Ni bellowed, “Idiot! A jack of all trades is master of none, better off without any. Now, you only have two choices: either cultivate all Daos together, with such speed that you probably won’t achieve anything even if you die in the process!

The second choice, specialize in one path!

Choose!”

Unconvinced, Yi Zheng shouted, “Only kids do multiple choice; I want them all, of course!”

Kong Ni was so angry that he really wanted to smack the Rabbit again, but then he heard the Rabbit exclaim, “Master, I don’t care, I can’t bear to not use all these Daos, even if it’s broken; I can’t part with them! Is there not a single Dao that allows me to cultivate just one but master All Techniques?”

Just as Kong Ni was about to curse, he suddenly stared intently at the Rabbit, or more accurately at one or two of the countless skills floating around Yi Zheng.

Then Kong Ni’s eyes gleamed with excitement, and he laughed heartily, “You lucky kid, you actually have such skills! These skills aren’t much, but they contain extremely rare Daos!

What others may not do, you can indeed do!

Listen well, now you must shatter all those Daos and feed them to the Swallowing Dao! The more Daos it swallows, the stronger you become, and you can use all the cultivation techniques, divine skills, and bloodlines it swallows!”

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng immediately called out, “Understood!”

Just then, a flood of information surged into his sea of consciousness, embodying even more content from the ‘Dragon Fear Heart Scripture’ that his Clone had comprehended. This time, it wasn’t various mutant beast records but actual cultivation spells.

At the same time, the system prompted, “Ding! Congratulations on comprehending the true scripture of ‘Dragon Fear Heart Sutra’. Click to view details.”

Yi Zheng quickly clicked to view the details.

Skill Name: “Dragon Fear Heart Scripture”

Skill Type: Cultivation Technique

Skill Level: 7th Grade [Insufficient power for further insight]

Skill Grade: Divine Level

Skill Introduction:

Cultivation: Each circulation increases all attributes by 1 point.

Seeing this, Yi Zheng felt like cursing; this increase was even worse than the trashy cultivation technique he started with!

He looked on carelessly.

Cultivation Technique Introduction: The ‘Dragon Fear Heart Scripture’ was created by the Innate Demon God Hou who enjoyed eating dragon brains, hence he created this technique to slay dragons.

Skills:

Dragon Fear Power: Causes bloodline suppression against dragons below 7th Grade, rendering them unable to move; ineffective against dragons above 7th Grade.

Feast: Ignores the defense of dragons of 7th Grade and below, directly opens the skull top, and instant-kill!

After Yi Zheng finished reading, he was dumbfounded for a while, unsure how to evaluate this wicked cultivation technique.

The technique was almost useless against any creature that wasn’t a dragon, but against dragons, it was an absolute nemesis!

Not to mention resisting, as long as the dragon’s power wasn’t much greater than Yi Zheng’s, any number of them would be a piece of cake.

“From today onwards, I won’t allow any dragon to show off in front of me!” Yi Zheng muttered to himself, then turned to study how to devour the multitude of complex bloodline powers in his body.

Eventually, he set his sights on sacrificial refining and merging. With a thought, the Life-Stealing Copper Coin flew up, tumbling in the air to land in Yi Zheng’s palm: “Merge!”

As Yi Zheng’s thought arose, these cultivation techniques, bloodlines, and skills began to converge.

At the same time, the countless skills that floated around Yi Zheng’s body like stars began to return to his body, and the bloodlines on his body started to converge…

Outside, Kong Ni wasn’t idle either. He smacked his palm on top of Yi Zheng’s skull and roared, “Little guy, I’ll give you a helping hand!”
