Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 1218 - 79: The Betraying Clone_2
Chapter 1218: Chapter 79: The Betraying Clone_2
“Your true self has indeed reached a terrifying realm.”
The replicated origins desire to approach the true origin, representing uniqueness.
Everything related to Wang Sheng will gravitate towards him.
However, having not yet ascended, the control of the Corrosive Fate Dao remains powerful.
If he were to ascend now, the replicated origin of the Corrosive Fate Dao might likely rebel on the spot.
“So, tell me, how will the true self treat this replica of mine, or rather, this replicated origin?”
Wang Sheng’s response was without hesitation: “Since it’s a replica, it’s better for it to dissipate.”
For such replicas, even without the Replication Core Skill, his primary thought was to eliminate them.
After all, no one knows what the Corrosive Fate Dao might come up with because of the replicated origin.
“Indeed, that’s just like you, the true self. If it weren’t so, I’d be surprised. But even if I dissipate, it wouldn’t be of any use; it’s like I said from the beginning, I’m the replicated origin, not the intercepted origin. Anything replicated can be created endlessly, no matter the cost. To fate, it’s insignificant.”
“And fate isn’t standing still; it’s constantly progressing. The more it interacts with people, the more information it collects. I appear not only because of the replicated origin, but also because the Starry Sky Creatures that know you continually provide information. If it’s like this when reaching out to other Starry Sky Creatures, how much more when reaching out to your true self?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng’s brow furrowed.
The replica’s meaning was clear.
As the Corrosive Fate Dao interacts with Starry Sky Creatures, it continually progresses, creating replicas ever closer to him, and his sending out avatars accelerates this process.
Yet, if no replicas are dispatched, then his replica on the Supreme Road would face no rivals and would ultimately achieve the Dao Fruit without any mishaps.
“It seems you’ve understood, the true self. This is another overt plot. Can you endure it this time? It’s not difficult to eliminate me and the replicas that follow; the real challenge is the changes that come after.” The replica laughed again.
Hearing this, Wang Sheng’s brow suddenly relaxed: “Do you still think I’ll win?”
“Of course, you are the true self.”
“Hahaha, such confidence. If that’s the case, then let’s see the real display!”
Wang Sheng did not claim victory but chose to take action immediately.
The necessary questions had been asked, and other issues received no answers, so he naturally pursued his original goal.
Which was to eliminate the replica.
“Straightforward, facing the enemy, having used them, it’s time to act without hesitation!”
Wang Sheng’s controlled avatar and the replica began their battle.
Neither exposed their identity, but the fluctuations of their battle could not be concealed.
On the new Supreme Road, all creatures could witness the horrifying shockwaves of their battle.
No one dared to approach.
“Who exactly are these two? Wasn’t our new Supreme Road always the weakest in overall strength? For so long, only Zhu Xiao Supreme appeared, yet the shockwaves from this pair’s battle don’t seem inferior to when Zhu Xiao Supreme fought before proving the Dao!”
“Indeed, where did these strong figures emerge from? Aren’t the few experts from Source Star further ahead?”
“Did they sneak over from other Supreme Roads?” Although the branches of the five Supreme Roads are not entirely isolated, there are ways to access other branches.
Such instances are rare but have occurred over tens of thousands of years.
“Who knows, but looking at these two, it seems they won’t determine a winner soon. Perhaps it will become clear when they reach the Creation Land!”
In truth, the avatar and the replica’s battle did affect the Creation Land.
But contrary to the new land’s creatures’ guesses, neither revealed their identity by the end.
Due to the prolonged and intense battle, the entire Supreme Road was too daunting for any other beings to participate, thus attracting much attention, including some from the Thirteen Realms.
Regrettably, they too were unaware of the true identities.
This mystery only increased their curiosity.
“Who are they, why can’t we discern even their identities?”
“It’s likely that a replica is involved. But what background does this replica have that we can’t even glimpse its details?”
“Alas, it’s becoming increasingly complicated. The Thirteen Realms are far from enough…”
The two unnamed contenders made the Thirteen Realms on the Starry Sky Supreme Road feel even more urgent.
They initially assumed that the winner grabbing the ultimate Dao Fruit would be one of these two mysterious individuals.
But once again, events defied their expectations.
When other strong contenders for the Dao Fruit hadn’t settled their score, the mysterious pair’s battle had already concluded.
“You could have ended the battle quickly, yet you dragged it to this point, using tactics similar to mine, not even willing to exert a little more strength; truly cautious to the extreme, aren’t you afraid it might amount to nothing?”
Wang Sheng didn’t treat the replica as he would other enemies, pinning it to the ground or in the void. After all, it looked identical to him, so even in defeat, the replica did not appear wretched.
However, it still lost its ability to act.
“Whether it matters or not is for you to decide.”
“Just like you,” finished the replica, before slowly dissipating.
Watching the face identical to his own disappear in front of him, Wang Sheng also let his avatar fade away.
With the replica dealt with, the avatar was naturally unnecessary.
He was not truly aiming to contend for the Dao.
Even though the avatar was settled, he knew that the real troubles were yet to come.
He was certain that in every future contest for the Dao Fruit, the Corrosive Fate Dao would send its replicas.
As the replica had stated, it was another unavoidable overt plot.
Of course, he wasn’t without strategies to counter it.
“To resolve an overt plot, one must shatter it with absolute strength; it was so in the past, and will be so in the future. The Corrosive Fate Dao may have made its calculations, but can it foresee my breakthrough afterwards?”
The Corrosive Fate Dao certainly wouldn’t comprehend the significance of this victory on the Supreme Road for him.
Otherwise, it would not have so lightly only sent a replica, particularly one with a rebellious nature.
“Sending out a replica was indeed a correct decision, but regrettably too late…”
With his replica resolved, the final outcome of this Supreme Road Dao Fruit contest was unlikely to experience significant changes.
Thus, the Starry Sky Creatures suddenly found that the two mysterious champions they favored had vanished, leaving no trace, like a brief illusion.
This also sparked quite a discussion.
“The Xuan Kong Saint Emperor and Shen Tu Saint Emperor are approaching the final battleground, but the previous two Saint Emperors still haven’t appeared. Have they abandoned their path to proving the Dao to become Supreme?”
“That’s not necessarily so. It’s not required to go to the end to prove the Dao. Didn’t Zhu Xiao Supreme and Yuanhua Supreme prove the Dao before the final battle? Perhaps those two have long before proven the Dao and disdain joining the final contest.”
“Are you foolish? Even if they proved the Dao earlier, the phenomenon from proving the Dao cannot be concealed. Rather than success, they likely perished together.”
“If that’s the case, it’s truly a pity, for judging by their aura, they’re stronger than the current contenders.”
In fact, the top-tier Saint Emperors of Xuan Kong and Shen Tu who persisted to the end felt fortunate.
They had already learned of the mysterious Saint Emperors’ previous battle.
That kind of might, they had to admit, they were not competitors.
Had either of those two joined, their hopes of obtaining the Dao Fruit would be minuscule.
The disappearance of both was a blessing for them, increasing their chances greatly.
Yet, with prior ambushes by “Chong Xu” and “Black Abyss,” they remained wary and fought with restraint.
Of course, throughout the battle, they never needed to employ this caution.
As the fight reached fever pitch, it was beyond restraint, plus, there was truly no ambush.
Ultimately, Shen Tu of the Divine Light Starry Sky prevailed and achieved Dao.
At the moment of his proving the Dao, Wang Sheng opened his eyes.
“Is it finally over? If so, then it’s my turn…”
