  Boom! Boom! Boom! Debris exploded into the air as Wang Chong dodged these attacks by a hair.

  “How formidable! I didn’t think that this ant would be different from the others and possess so many martial arts. Let’s try this one!”

  As it spoke, ‘Wang Chong’ began to turn blurry and indistinct, its body producing black smoke and vanishing.

  Void Movement Technique!

  Wang Chong’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.

  Wang Chong possessed the experiences of his last life and more, and there was very little in the world that could surprise him so. But what he was seeing was truly too incredible.

  The Art of God and Demon Obliteration was a supreme art he had inherited from Great Tang War God Su Zhengchen, one of the ten great arts of the Central Plains, and was incredibly difficult to cultivate. Meanwhile, the Void Movement Technique was something he had obtained from one of the black-clothed leaders during the black-clothed men’s raid on the Righteous Alliance. Wang Chong had only recently succeeded in cultivating this technique.

  And this creature was able to use Wang Chong’s techniques without cultivating. Even if it was just mimicking them, the result was still shocking. Moreover, in terms of quality, the creature seemed to be capable of replicating the technique completely.

  Swish!

  Wang Chong immediately used the Void Movement Technique as well. His position became ever-changing and impossible to pin down.

  While using the movement technique, Wang Chong flicked his fingers, sending bolts of Sword Qi to meet those of his foe.

  Bang!

  As the two combatants intersected, Wang Chong suddenly clenched his hand into a fist and punched.

  As this fist thundered forward, countless streams of Origin Energy gathered around it, turning it into a massive mountain that thundered forward with an unstoppable momentum.

  This was something Wang Chong had created after watching the Demonic Emperor Old Man create those azure hands. When he attacked, he could gather the surrounding spiritual energy to boost his power by forty to fifty percent.

  But a moment later, amidst a seething sea of Origin Energy, an identical azure fist emerged and slammed into Wang Chong’s.

  There was an earthshaking boom. The two Wang Chongs had identical strength, cultivation, martial arts, and even fighting styles, and they were both sent flying by the impact.

  “How could it be like this?!”

  As Wang Chong stood back up, his face had twisted into a nasty scowl.

  What had happened just now could not be explained by simple imitation, and its foundation no longer resided in the domain of martial arts. Wang Chong didn’t even know if he was fighting a human.

  While Wang Chong was still reeling in shock over his foe’s ability to imitate all his martial arts, that creature spoke once more. “Hahaha, there’s also this one! To think that your body had so many treasures!”

  Boom! The entire cavern began to shake, violent shockwaves causing the stalactites hanging from the ceiling to tremble. Suddenly, in the endless darkness, a golden and silver light flashed into being.

  Around ‘Wang Chong’, the energies of Yin and Yang had begun to spiral, and a vast and powerful aura began to radiate outward. The images of the sun and moon appeared behind the creature, and ‘Wang Chong’ immediately began to exert a pull akin to a black hole.

  The energy in the underground cave began to revolve around it, a sight that would make anyone pale in fright!

  The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!

  ‘Wang Chong’ had used the world’s number one evil art, the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, without Wang Chong’s prompting. The sight of the familiar sun and moon made Wang Chong’s heart sink to rock bottom.

  He had yet to cultivate Senior Su’s destructive Sword Qi to a proficient level, and he had learned the Void Movement Technique far too recently. Besides, this was not an offensive technique, but a movement technique. As for the azure fist that he had derived from his master’s move, that was still a half-finished product.

  For this foe to use these techniques was more difficult to accept than an actual threat. But the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was different!

  Wang Chong had long ago chosen to focus his efforts on the world’s number one evil art. It possessed immense power and could allow one’s cultivation to rise by leaps and bounds. With this technique, he could increase his strength as quickly as possible so that he could protect the world.

  It was also the art that Wang Chong had cultivated to the highest level.

  He had never expected that this creature would also be able to use his supreme technique.

  Just what is this thing?

  Wang Chong was stunned. He did not believe that there was any martial artist with this kind of ability. If this creature was truly that formidable, there would have been no need to control others with Psychic Energy. And Wang Chong had never heard of some martial art that allowed the use of other martial arts without cultivation.

  Not a single one of the ten great arts had this ability.

  “It’s not right!”

  Wang Chong quickly noticed that something was wrong.

  This creature’s abilities were not natural. All of them were imitated from their opponent. If this creature was so formidable that it was able to perfectly copy his body, then wouldn’t that mean…

  With this thought, Wang Chong turned his attention away from the grandiose images of the sun and moon, and focused on his opponent’s body.

  Just as expected!

  Wang Chong subtly smiled. As he expected, his opponent’s meridians were in just as much disarray as his own. He had overestimated this mysterious existence.

  Although it could casually replicate his martial arts, it wasn’t as powerful as it seemed. No, Wang Chong sensed that this being had no understanding of martial arts whatsoever.

  Bang!

  Wang Chong stomped forward, halos spreading out from beneath his feet. At the same time, he opened his right hand, drawing a sword into it. He then exploded forward, using the Void Movement Technique to attack his foe from an angle.

  “Great Yin Yang Art!”

  ‘Wang Chong’ wickedly smiled and immediately fused Yin and Yang, creating a pure destructive energy.

  This enormous energy instantly sent Wang Chong flying.

  ‘Wang Chong’ sneered and rushed over. Raaaa! At the same time, the controlled martial artists gave inhuman cries and madly charged at Wang Chong from all directions.

  With so many people working together, Wang Chong was in great peril.

  But Wang Chong remained calm, his eyes bright and unperturbed. Thump! He pressed his right hand against the ground and began to glide along the surface like a swallow, escaping the encirclement before it could completely close.

  Clang! His sword cried, reflecting dazzling yet dangerous light. Wang Chong’s sword moved like a venomous snake as it flew, flying around and circling back to strike at the left armpit of ‘Wang Chong’.

  “Careful about just slavishly copying everything you see! There are some things that you can’t learn!” Wang Chong loudly called out.

  His body was constantly moving, left, right, forward, back, like some ghost. Despite facing so many martial artists and that creature, Wang Chong chose to go on the offensive rather than retreat.

  Plush! Blood gushed out. The fierce battle had caused the wound that Wang Chong had sustained in the illusory world to tear open again.

  “Heheh, ant, there’s nothing of yours that I can’t learn! You’re no match for me!” ‘Wang Chong’ resoundingly declared, its voice strange and bizarre. It had no intention of dodging Wang Chong’s attack.

  “Vast Heaven Earth Art!”

  ‘Wang Chong’ used the second supreme skill of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, and a vast energy
engulfed the world, sweeping toward Wang Chong’s attack.

  Wang Chong had apparently expected this. Although his attack had seemed fierce, he had never planned to launch an actual attack.

  Before the Vast Heaven Earth Art had even been fully executed, Wang Chong had already lunged backward, retreating even faster than he had come.

  Rumble!

  Dust exploded as the fierce explosion of Stellar Energy shattered several of the stalactites and knocked away the bones and befuddled martial artists on the ground.

  Although Wang Chong had been ready, escaping the Vast Heaven Earth Art unscathed was not that easy.

  Bang! As he retreated, he was still caught in one of the aftershocks from the Vast Heaven Earth Art. His body trembled and he lost control. Boom! He crashed into one of the sturdy cave walls, leaving a human-shaped hole and causing rocks and dust to cascade from the ceiling.

  How formidable! To think that he could use the Vast Heaven Earth Art to this level.

  Wang Chong wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. The wound on his abdomen and the impact of the Vast Heaven Earth Art had instantly worsened his condition. A writhing pain stabbed into his dantian as the consecutive usage of Stellar Energy added to the injuries caused by his cultivation defect.

  Even so, Wang Chong’s eyes were bright and he seemed undeterred.

  Wang Chong looked at ‘Wang Chong’ and said to himself, It’s about time. Only the last technique is left.

  “Great Destruction Art!”

  Wang Chong stepped forward and attacked. Powerful ripples of Stellar Energy erupted from his body, the supreme Yin and Yang energy of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.

  The two Wang Chongs were exuding the same kind of energy at this moment.

  “Great Destruction Art? Puny ant, let’s see whose Great Destruction Art is stronger!”

  A strange light flitted through the eyes of ‘Wang Chong’, and as the Stellar Energy in its body exploded, it unleashed a pure destructive energy that wanted nothing more than to swallow up the world.

  In a burst of light, ‘Wang Chong’ shot into the air, twisting the space around it. The fierce pulses of destructive energy from its body made it seem like an erupting volcano.

  In his condition, if Wang Chong received this attack, he would be dead or extremely close to it.

  “Success!”

  But surprisingly, Wang Chong seemed elated to see that destructive figure approaching him.

  Bzzz! The energy ripples of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art suddenly scattered and Wang Chong pulled back, throwing himself into a cave behind him to make distance between himself and ‘Wang Chong’.

  “Mm?”

  The ‘Wang Chong’ in the air was clearly taken aback by this sight. This attitude and the heedless and determined resolve of the Wang Chong from a few moments ago made them seem like two different people. But before ‘Wang Chong’ could react, it heard the voice of Wang Chong.

  “You’re dead!”

  ‘Wang Chong’ grimaced, but a moment later, it felt an intense twisting pain from every part of its body. That surging Stellar Energy and its meridians suddenly fell into complete disarray. The Great Destruction Art that it had been prepared to unleash fell apart and whipped back upon its body.

  Fwoosh!

  ‘Wang Chong’ vomited blood and crashed to the ground, screaming.

  Just as expected!

  In the cave thirty-some meters away, Wang Chong’s eyes gleamed. Now that ‘Wang Chong’ had dropped to the ground, Wang Chong finally attacked in earnest.

  He instantly used the Void Movement Technique, and as he made his away across the cave, he grabbed a sword, flew forward, and thrust the sword into the body of ‘Wang Chong’.

  In a flash, the battle was over. Everything came to a stop, and even those martial artists in the illusory world stopped twitching. The entire cave seemed to be frozen in time.

  “How… how could this be? Why can’t I use your martial arts? This is impossible…”

  ‘Wang Chong’ was curled up like a shrimp now that its body had been stabbed through a vital point by Wang Chong’s sword. It clung to one of Wang Chong’s arms and its body trembled all over. Extreme shock had emerged on its face. It was apparently still affected by that final Stellar Energy backlash, hardly even reacting to Wang Chong’s sword stabbing into it.

  “There is no human in the world that I can’t control, no martial art that I cannot imitate, no technique that I cannot use!” ‘Wang Chong’ muttered to itself, blood constantly flowing out of its mouth. Its mind was completely focused on the enormous shift that had taken place in its body.

  Wang Chong looked at his opponent and suddenly said, “You think too highly of yourself. You have no understanding of martial arts and only know how to imitate.”

  As he looked at this unknown creature, a look of pity appeared in his eyes. It was truly a formidable being, but its flaws were obvious.

  “Long before entering this place, I suffered from a cultivation defect that threw my meridians into disorder and caused my Stellar Energy to scatter. It’s one thing for you to imitate my Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, but you even imitated my body’s cultivation defect too. Although I don’t know what you are, it’s clear that you don’t even possess the most common knowledge of martial arts or even know what Stellar Energy is. You probably don’t even know how to fight, right?”

  “So, this is what was going on?”

  ‘Wang Chong’ slowly raised its head, a look of relief in its eyes. At this moment, its face began to turn blurry, and it no longer appeared capable of maintaining its mimicry.

  As the illusion faded like a veil being torn away, the creature finally revealed its true appearance.

  Yes, it could only be called a ‘creature’, as the existence before Wang Chong had completely surpassed his understanding of the world.

  Even with two previous lives’ worth of memories and experiences, Wang Chong had never imagined that such a creature could exist in this world.

  Its body was pitch-black and covered in fur. It looked somewhat similar to an otter, but it differed in various aspects.

  Its body was two meters tall like a giant bull, and it was cloaked in a seething black mist. What was most unique of all was its head.

  From the look of it, this creature was a monster, but its head… while there were a few parts that appeared bestial, overall, it looked like the face of a human. The brows, eyes, mouth, nose—these things all made it look seventy to eighty percent similar to a human head.

  The similarity was so great that Wang Chong was completely unable to tell what this face had originally looked like.

  But now that he had seen its true appearance, Wang Chong suddenly understood why the monster had stopped and reverted to its original form.

  Wang Chong had aimed his sword at the monster’s chest, but in reality, he had struck its head.

  If not for this lucky strike, the battle would probably have continued for some time.

  “…But don’t get too happy just yet!”

  The strange monster’s face was stricken with pain and struggle.

  “This battle is far from over! No one can defeat me!”

  Before Wang Chong could do anything, a prodigious energy erupted from the monster’s body.

  Wang Chong paled, but just as he was about to strike, an invisible binding connected him with the monster, bridging their Psychic Energies.

  Thumpthumpthump! Various martial artists throughout the cave, their eyes still shut, toppled over like wooden pillars.

  As they fell, Wang Chong could sense almost tangible Psychic Energy flowing out of them and into the monster.

  Even while fighting with Wang Chong, this unknown creature had still been controlling the many martial artists in the cave, immersing them in the illusory wor
ld.

  But now that it was facing an unprecedented foe in Wang Chong, the unknown creature had finally chosen to take back all its Psychic Energy and attack Wang Chong.

  Buzz!

  Sensing that vast river of terrifying Psychic Energy flowing through the air, Wang Chong couldn’t help but scowl. His two reincarnations had given him such abnormally powerful Psychic Energy that even Masil had been forced to sigh in praise. Wang Chong was also extremely accomplished in the field of Psychic Energy.

  But when compared to this creature, he immediately lost his luster.

  The Psychic Energy gathering in the air was more than ten times Wang Chong’s. This was the first time Wang Chong had ever felt such terrifying Psychic Energy.

  “Since you’ve destroyed my fleshly body, I’ll just use yours!”

  The unknown creature’s voice resounded in Wang Chong’s ears, and a moment later, the bizarre Psychic Energy slammed into Wang Chong’s mind like a tsunami.

  Wang Chong’s body went stiff as his meridians painfully seized up. He was instantly rendered motionless.

  Not only that, Wang Chong could sense a sinister Psychic Energy pouring in like a flood, assaulting the deepest depths of his mind.

  Possession!

  Wang Chong instantly understood what was going on. He was no stranger to this sensation, as he had felt the same when Masil had used Psychic Energy in the Battle of Talas to try to control him.

  But the Psychic Energy he now faced was many times stronger than Masil’s. If Masil had been a hardy stone, the unknown creature was dense and well-tempered steel.

  In the face of this dreadful power, Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy was swiftly routed.

  This was the strongest Psychic Energy foe Wang Chong had ever faced since his reincarnation.

  Supreme Art, Blazing Sun!

  Just as Wang Chong was about to be possessed by the monster, his mind suddenly rumbled and banged. At the center of his Psychic Energy, a searing heat burst out.

  Rumble! As the world shook, a gigantic and bright sun illuminated Wang Chong’s mind.

  At this crucial moment, Wang Chong finally used his strongest Psychic Energy art.
