Chapter 141 Illusory Body, Golden Sun Shakes the Sea
Chapter 141 Hundreds of Illusory Bodies, Golden Sun Shakes the Sea
In the virtual universe, on a huge floating island above the Qianwu Continent, inside one of the tallest buildings.
Inside the hall with its black, strange crystal floor, countless beings on thrones watched the duel between Ye Yang and Rong Jun being broadcast on the hall's screen.
"The Virtual Universe Company placed the two little guys on Island 00001. Rong Jun's strength is decent, but he's probably not even at the top level of our Qianwu Universe Kingdom this year. As for Ye Yang—I've seen his previous battles, his soul attacks are incredibly strong, he must have some special experiences."
"I estimate that Ye Yang will win easily. Even if Rong Jun's consciousness and will reach the cosmic level, he still can't withstand that little guy's soul attack."
"Looks like it's going to be another pointless battle."
The many beings on the thrones, some male, some female, some old, some young, all possess different auras, but they all share one common characteristic—
They all have incredibly long lifespans and occupy the most prestigious positions in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
Just as these great beings were chatting casually, the scene suddenly changed, and the battle began. Ye Yang was actually fighting Rong Jun in close combat, which surprised all these great beings.
"What's wrong with this kid? How come he's so strong in close combat?"
"No, it's not just close combat—look at Rong Jun, he can't even unleash 70% of his full strength, he's constantly hampered, and the fight is getting more and more chaotic. This is because he's being interfered with by illusions while fighting!"
"An illusionist? A martial artist? Could this be an incredibly rare illusion-based martial artist style?!"
Before the immortals could be surprised for long, they saw Rong Jun throw away the short sword in his hand, flip his hand and take out a brand new battle sword, and his aura changed.
"Hmm? This fishing method is getting interesting—"
On the arena, Ye Yang watched as Rong Jun, more than twenty meters away, took out a new battle sword.
Rong Jun's eyes lit up: "Ye Yang!"
He laughed heartily, completely disregarding his injuries: "I didn't care about the selection process within the Qianwu Universe! My bottom line is to enter the top 1,000 in the overall universe rankings, but my real goal is to be number one in the overall universe rankings!"
"And you—"
Rong Jun, wielding a massive black battle blade even larger than his previous one, underwent a dramatic change in aura, transforming into a savage war god: "You are worthy of my use of the 'Earth-Splitting Blade'!"
Ye Yang's expression also turned serious: "I need to get a little more serious too, let's go!"
In reality, the Golden Horn clone activated the innate secret technique "Enhancement," and the human clone also unleashed Soul Amplification.
On the virtual universe arena.
Ye Yang's arms and boots lit up with brand new secret patterns, which was the second move of Void Return - "Void Fixation"!
The Void Return Set, any piece of which, when used for the first move "Shock the Void," is equivalent to unleashing a "Golden Sword" using the first move "Illusion Sword Style" of the Divine Weapon.
Only when the Divine Weapon unleashes nine golden swords can the nine swords be combined to unleash the second move, "Piercing the Sky Style".
The Void Return Set, when all five pieces are used in their first move, unleashes the combined power of all five pieces, which is equivalent to the "Sky Piercing Strike." Being able to unleash this move...
In the realm of the stars, it's not just called invincible, it's absolutely invincible!
However, Ye Yang currently lacks the ability to simultaneously activate other sets to achieve the unity of the five elements, so he directly unleashed the second move.
This was originally something that only a cosmic-level being could have the power to activate, but Ye Yang's first human clone had been at the cosmic level for a long time and had also studied the second move, "Stabilizing the Void," for a long time, using it with consummate skill.
With his current physical foundation at the ninth level of the Eternal Star realm and his extremely high comprehension of the fundamental laws of space, he can barely manage to unleash it.
This technique is equivalent to the third level of the Divine Weapon, the "Heavenly Sword Technique," and once mastered, it can be called invincible at the cosmic level!
It was by relying on the power of "Stabilizing the Void" that Ye Yang fought Nuolanshan, a ninth-level "Giant Axe Warrior" of the Universe level, to a draw.
"What is he saying?"
"Ranked number one in the universe? This 'savage' Rong Jun is incredibly arrogant!"
In the audience, upon hearing Rong Jun's loud laughter, everyone felt that he was too arrogant and conceited.
However, the next moment, when Rong Jun started running with the "Earth-Splitting Blade" in his hand, his figure suddenly split into two, making it impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake!
"The fundamental law of space!"
"So it's space! No wonder this little guy is so arrogant, saying he wants to become the number one in the universe!"
"How many years has it been since our Qianwu Universe Kingdom produced such a peerless genius?"
The great and immortal beings who had been watching the show from their thrones were suddenly surprised.
To be able to cross the threshold of two fundamental laws at the Eternal Star level, especially since one of them is one of the two extremely difficult superior laws—Space—is truly remarkable.
This kind of talent is terrifying.
However, before these immortal beings could finish marveling, Ye Yang also smiled, and with a flash, he also created a phantom body.
"This Ye Yang is also—"
"This is going to be interesting."
The many immortals were both amazed and amused, finally showing great interest in this duel of geniuses.
And then one of the countless thrones revealed a smile.
"I recognized the battle armor that little guy was wearing long ago. It was the 'Void Returning to Eternity,' a sacred weapon of the 'Five Crystal Clan,' which is extremely rare even on the outer battlefields. Being able to activate 'Void Returning to Eternity' means that he has at least crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of space. And the fact that Ye Yang can activate the second level shows that he has a very deep understanding of the laws of space."
On the battlefield, Ye Yang and Rong Jun stared intently at each other's two figures.
"It's also a spatial illusion?" The two savage youths laughed loudly, because this illusion was formed by spatial distortion, and whether using telekinesis or the naked eye, one could only see that they were two savage youths.
"Good, good, good!" Rong Jun charged at Ye Yang without fear and swung his knife.
"Suppress him!" Ye Yang unleashed tremendous power from both hands and feet, as if the surrounding space had frozen. With his hands pressing down, it was as if the entire sky was being suppressed.
"Break!!!" Rong Jun roared, unleashing a terrifying sword technique. Although his understanding of the laws he displayed was not as good as Ye Yang's, the power of this sword technique was exceptionally strong.
"What?!"
As the savage burly man unleashed his full power with each strike, Ye Yang was astonished to discover that even the simple technique of "fixing the air" was insufficient to suppress Rong Jun.
"So powerful! Your understanding of the laws is far inferior to mine, but this swordsmanship is just too, too powerful."
In the original work, during the battle of geniuses, Rong Jun's brilliance was completely overshadowed by the heaven-defying Bo Lan.
However, after entering the Chaos City of the Primordial Universe, apart from Bolan, Rong Jun was the first to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven!
Even Luo Feng, who had a stronger understanding of the laws, failed the first time.
Moreover, he was the first one to be accepted as a disciple by a cosmic ruler.
This savage Rong Jun—he relied entirely on his unparalleled swordsmanship!
"Die!"
Rong Jun actually broke through the block and struck Ye Yang's weak point.
In terms of close-combat defense and attack, Ye Yang was ultimately lacking; Rong Jun's swordsmanship was simply too formidable.
Secondly, it was also because Ye Yang's "Stabilizing the Void" was too difficult to execute. After all, this is something that can only be executed at the cosmic level. He forced it to be executed entirely by relying on his powerful understanding of the fundamental laws of space, which naturally put him under immense pressure.
Therefore, he revealed a flaw and was seized upon by Rong Jun.
Even if Rong Jun wanted to participate in the Reincarnation Battle, he couldn't stop now, and he was about to kill Ye Yang!
It vanished in a flash.
Unbelievable!
In what seemed like an instant, countless Ye Yangs appeared throughout the arena, only to vanish just as quickly.
It's as if it's just an illusion, a fantasy, isn't it?
The audience was stunned, feeling as if they were seeing things.
But Rong Jun's slash missed its mark; Ye Yang's figure was no longer in place, leaving only a severed arm.
Boom!
On the numerous thrones in the hall, many people instantly unleashed their auras uncontrollably, and shock filled the air.
"Illusory bodies! Hundreds of illusory bodies!"
"I counted for a split second just now, there were 247 illusory bodies!"
"This Ye Yang can actually unleash 247 illusory bodies simultaneously? My god! How high must his mastery of the fundamental laws of space be?!"
These great beings could no longer remain calm.
If a realm lord can achieve this, then it is indeed quite good, but it is only good.
But Ye Yang is a star-level talent!
A little guy at the Hengxing level can actually leave 247 illusory bodies in space? How heaven-defying must his spatial talent be?
"Gentlemen, I'm reminded of someone—" At this moment, a great and immortal being spoke up: "You may not have been paying attention to some things happening below recently."
"Decades ago, a super genius emerged in the Cui Lang Starfield, nicknamed 'The Deadly Killer.' Even in the Eternal Star era, he slaughtered indiscriminately during the cosmic apprentice mercenary assessment with his extremely powerful soul attacks."
"Even when surrounded and attacked by a powerful force, he was able to escape easily, and even displayed extremely strong spatial talent at the time, leaving behind several illusory bodies in space in one go."
"In the following decades, he grew stronger and stronger, killing many universe-level powerhouses at the Hengxing level, and the number of illusory bodies he could create also increased—however, this 'Deadly Killer' first refused the invitation from Cui Lang Holy Land, and later the Qianwu Secret Realm sent a Domain Lord-level genius to invite him, and guess what happened?"
"That 'Deadly Killer' actually dared to attack that Domain Lord-level genius, and of course, he died a horrible death. But just a few months later, this guy actually resurrected! He possesses resurrection abilities, and his potential is extremely heaven-defying. I originally thought he would participate in this genius battle."
"I never imagined that when he reappeared a few years ago, he was already at the cosmic level, causing a ruckus in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. At the time, I felt sorry that he couldn't participate in this year's Genius Battle. Now it seems that Ye Yang might just be the 'Deadly Killing God'!"
The other beings listened to the great and immortal being's narration with astonishment.
A few decades is nothing to these immortal beings who have lived for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of epochs, with infinite lifespans.
It's just a period of meditation and contemplation, or the time it takes to strike a ton.
Most of the immortals hadn't paid any attention to what was happening in the various star regions below, and only now did they hear that such a genius had emerged in the past few decades.
"If this Ye Yang is truly the 'Deadly Killer,' possessing resurrection abilities, being a cosmic-level being, and able to participate in the Genius Battle, it means he has a star-level body—most likely the ability to create clones!"
With such profound insight, it is naturally easy to guess.
However, while the ability to create clones is extremely rare in the universe, it is not unheard of. The Golden Horned Beast possesses this talent, and one or two Golden Horned Beasts can occasionally be seen on the extraterrestrial battlefield.
Moreover, they are already immortal and cannot possess another body, so naturally they would not try to use Kai Yeyang's clone ability.
As for whether Ye Yang cheated or not? Of course not. It's not about having a clone. It's Ye Yang's special opportunity. It's normal for geniuses to have some special opportunities. Moreover, the virtual universe company that organized the genius battle didn't detect it or say anything. Naturally, the immortals of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom are too lazy to talk about it to the outside world.
"It seems our Qianwu Universe Kingdom is going to shine in this year's Genius Battle. Rong Jun's swordsmanship is extremely terrifying, and his strength is enough to challenge for the top 10. As for Ye Yang, this little guy is following the Illusion Realm Warrior route, but his close combat ability alone is second only to Rong Jun, and his spatial movement technique is unparalleled. He will definitely be in the top three this year. I'm even 99% confident that he can win first place this year!"
"How many sessions of the Genius Battle have we held in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom without producing a champion?"
"You actually..." On the stage, Rong Jun stared intently at Ye Yang.
Ye Yang took a deep breath and looked at his left arm.
It was cut off, and the left arm armor was also missing along with the severed arm.
"Hahahaha—" Ye Yang burst into laughter, laughing so freely for the first time in a public setting during the Genius Battle: "That's enough, Rong Jun, that's enough!"
"I will remember you as my opponent forever!"
Despite losing an arm, his aura suddenly surged, as if a golden sun were rising from the horizon, causing Rong Jun's expression to change drastically.
Impact! An incredibly powerful shock to the mind!
A genius like Rong Jun has a profound understanding of the laws of nature. His consciousness is imbued with the fundamental laws of the universe, and its strength and resilience cannot be simply measured by levels.
Therefore, Ye Yang was not confident and did not directly use the consciousness technique.
But now—
brush!
Amidst the laughter, Ye Yang's figure multiplied into a hundred, appearing in various parts of the arena.
"Rong Jun, this is a secret technique I created myself. It combines soul and material attacks, and it is also my strongest move now."
"Take this!"
247 Ye Yangs spoke in unison, simultaneously raising their fists at Rong Jun.
In terms of momentum, Rong Jun had just launched his most ferocious attack, but failed to kill Ye Yang in one fell swoop. He was already weakening and exhausted.
Although Ye Yang lost an arm, his momentum continued to rise.
Having completely overwhelmed Rong Jun, he unleashed his ultimate move without hesitation.
"Die! Die! Die! Die!"
Rong Jun felt as if needles were pricking his head, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart. He frantically attacked Ye Yang's spatial illusions, but even with his desperate slashing, he could only shatter the two closest illusions. Another illusion was attacked by Rong Jun, but he dodged it with a swift movement.
Aside from the three illusory bodies attacked by Rong Jun, there were 244 other Ye Yangs on the entire arena who were not even on the same level. Rong Jun had no way to dodge this attack!
boom!
Rong Jun's Earth Domain enveloped him, his power and will becoming incredibly concentrated, ready to unleash Ye Yang's self-created ultimate move at any moment.
"Shaking the Seas!!!"
Only Ye Yang's roar echoed throughout the entire arena.
Rong Jun's vision blurred, and in an instant, the world turned upside down, and he found himself at the sea.
Above the sea lies the starry sky!
Suddenly, a great sun rose, growing larger and hotter—this golden sun exuded the essence of the laws of metal and fire.
Just one glance at it and I feel a piercing pain in my soul!
