Chapter 442: Don’t Tell Me Your Clone Can Also Create Copies?

Shen Tian stood there proudly in mid-air, radiating with a dazzling divine light that engulfed the entire space!

36 Red Fire Sage Needles dazzled like the sun in front of him. Their aura was fearsome!

Every single needle exuded a terrifying divine aura as if they wanted to destroy the world!

This Great Sage artifact was so powerful that it could easily pierce through a True Sage.

If all 36 needles joined forces, they could even cause serious injury to a Great Sage.

Luckily, Shen Tian was not alone.

There were 10 of him!

10 Shen Tians working together could divert the power of the Red Fire Sage Needles.

They attacked in unison, shooting out beams of divine energy which streamed endlessly into the Red Fire Sage Needles.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

A soft rumbling sound echoed.

The 36 Red Fire Sage Needles were finally subdued, unable to move forward.

In addition, the powers of those Red Fire Sage Needles were continually being weakened.

Before long, the power of this Great Sage artifact would be used up and be ready for the taking!

“Damn, this kid is really able to capture it?”

Not only was the detonation of his Great Sage artifact unable to harm Shen Tian, but it was also going to be seized by him.

Great Sage Evil Fire was feeling very pained!

This was a Great Sage artifact. Even a True Sage would go mad for it. Not even a Great Sage might possess such an item!

He had gotten the Red Fire Sage Needles because he had made a major contribution to the Evil Spirit Sect and was rewarded by the Sect Master.

He didn’t expect that he would have to detonate his Great Sage artifact just to save his own life!

And the worse thing was that detonating his Great Sage artifact proved rather useless. His opponent was completely unharmed and was only momentarily delayed!

He had lost out big time!

Great Sage Evil Fire couldn’t help cursing on the inside.

What kind of freak is he?

Not only can he summon so many clones, but they are all so formidable as well!

Hot damn!

As pained as he felt, Great Sage Evil Fire did not reach out to retrieve his Red Fire Sage Needles. He turned and entered the void.

He had detonated his Great Sage artifact to delay Shen Tian and get the chance to flee.

If he lingered any longer and Shen Tian turned his attention to him, he would not be able to escape.

Even though it was a Great Sage artifact, Great Sage Evil Fire would not want to turn back just to give up his life!

“Kid, just you wait. Stay here if you have the guts! I am going to get reinforcements now to kill you later!”

Great Sage Evil Fire was very fast and disappeared into the void turbulence in the blink of an eye.

But before he left, he couldn’t resist lambasting out loud. It was very un-Great Sage-like.

No choice, he was on the verge of a complete breakdown!

He had been beaten up by 10 Shen Tians and then lost his Great Sage artifact!

Even a Great Sage would not be able to bear that!

Great Sage Evil Fire just wanted to escape and find some reinforcements. He wanted to gather all the Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect!

Not only would he be able to kill Shen Tian then, but he would also retrieve his Red Fire Sage Needles.

Losing a Great Sage artifact was too painful to Great Sage Evil Fire!

…

Of course, Great Sage Evil Fire was well aware of one fact.

By the time he managed to gather the other Elders, reinforcements from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty would also have arrived.

He couldn’t recoup his losses.

Even so, he had to have the final word!

Losing his Great Sage artifact and then quietly slinking away—that would be too embarrassing!!

…

Qi Zhan exclaimed, “Boss, that old man is fleeing!”

He didn’t expect Great Sage Evil Fire to flee instead of fighting back.

This was unprecedented.

Who had ever seen a Great Sage trying to flee after being beaten up by a Heavenly Venerable?

Qi Zhan quickly reacted. He wanted to pursue him to stop him. After all, this was a Great Sage from the Evil Spirit Sect. If he could be killed here and now, it would be a major blow to the Evil Spirit Sect.

Unfortunately, Great Sage Evil Fire was too fast. Qi Zhan was unable to catch up.

“Boss, what should we do now?”

Qi Zhan was very anxious. It was not that big a deal that Great Sage Evil Fire had fled.

After all, one Great Sage was no match for Shen Tian.

Qi Zhan was worried that Great Sage Evil Fire would go and get reinforcements. There were other Great Sages nearby.

They would be dead-meat if a few more of those Great Sages came looking for them!

And by the looks of that Evil Fire Great Sage, he didn’t look like he was giving up yet!

Shen Tian gave a calm smile. “No worries, he can’t escape!”

He completely ignored Great Sage Evil Fire and just continued to subdue the Red Fire Sage Needles!

As beams of divine energy penetrated them, the Great Sage artifact finally used up its powers and fell to the ground.

Shen Tian gave a wave, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.

Not only had he saved Qi Zhan, but he had gained a Great Sage artifact as well!

It was a big win for him!

As for Great Sage Evil Fire, he would be dealt with.

…

In the void turbulence, Great Sage Evil Fire was hastily trying to scurry away.

He finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was pursuing him.

No choice, Shen Tian’s display of power had indeed scared him.

A Great Sage being thrashed into such a defenseless state by a junior. He had no choice but to flee.

Great Sage Evil Fire was very despondent. He was extremely frustrated!

He had already decided to go back and report to his Evil Spirit Sect King on this fellow.

If he could trigger the ire of the King and Sect Master, Shen Tian would definitely be killed!

In this way, it could dispel the hatred in his heart!

Great Sage Evil Fire activated his powers as he sped through the void turbulence.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

This person was garbed in dazzling armor and surrounded by a surging light array.

His arms were crossed behind him, his back facing Great Sage Evil Fire.

He stood there in mid-air as if he was one with the void turbulence. His aura was extremely powerful!

Great Sage Evil Fire came to an emergency stop at the sight of this figure. He stared at it with high vigilance.

“Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?”

Great Sage Evil Fire spoke gravely. It was clear that this was no ordinary practitioner.

The figure turned around with a smile. “Surprise!”

Great Sage Evil Fire’s eyes dilated in shock.

“How can it be you!? No way!

“How did you get here?

“Don’t tell me you have more clones?”

Great Sage Evil Fire was stunned. He had just escaped from Shen Tian.

Yet, Shen Tian had reappeared before him?

How is that possible!?

He had seen Shen Tian summon nine clones, and they were all defending against the Red Fire Sage Needles.

How did one of them catch up to him? And he even managed to be in front of him?

Great Sage Evil Fire looked around and saw that there was only one Shen Tian. The other Shen Tians hadn’t come.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

What a scare!

I thought this kid was so pesky that he brought all nine clones over.

So it’s only one!

…

Great Sage Evil Fire’s eyes turned malicious as he snorted coldly. “Kid, you are gutsy. You dared to pursue me on your own. I will let you have a taste of my powers!”

Great Sage Evil Fire laughed malevolently!

He might not have been able to defeat 10 Shen Tians, but he could handle one easily.

He would destroy this clone to resolve the hatred in his heart!

Shen Tian’s smile grew even more brilliant after spotting Great Sage Evil Fire.

Actually, Shen Tian had no idea which direction this old fellow had fled to. He just happened to be in his way.

He did not have to waste any effort at all!

Shen Tian shook his head calmly. “Looks like your luck is not so good!”

Since he had come right to his face, there was no reason for Shen Tian to let him go!

Great Sage Evil Fire was enraged. This Shen Tian was belittling him.

“How dare you! You are just a clone, and you dare to stand in my way? Don’t tell me you can make more copies?

“Die!”

Great Sage Evil Fire hollered angrily as he shot a ball of evil fire toward Shen Tian.

Shen Tian sniggered. “You are so smart. You guessed right again!”

He activated his magic and sealed off this part of the void!

Thereafter, Shen Tian performed another set of hand seals. A massive Grotto-Heaven appeared behind him!

It was surrounded by a divine aura and seemed like another world had been opened.

Great Sage Evil Fire halted at the sight. His face was filled with disbelief. He could hardly believe his own eyes.

He had just witnessed this same sight not long before!

It was Self-Materialization!

Nine figures walked out from behind Shen Tian, their aura even more terrifying than the previous batch!

10 Shen Tians stood there in mid-air, in the exact same formation as before!

Great Sage Evil Fire was in a daze at the sight. He spluttered. “I-impossible! How can a clone make copies of itself?”

The corners of Great Sage Evil Fire’s mouth twitched wildly.

Previously, you managed to summon nine clones. Fine!

I acknowledge that you must have learned some mind-blowing techniques.

But your clone can also make copies of itself?

What the hell?

Are the heavens on your payroll?

Great Sage Evil Fire was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He had put in so much effort to escape from Shen Tian only to have another 10 Shen Tians appear!?

What can I do now? Don’t tell me I have to detonate another Great Sage artifact?

But that was not all. The next scene had him completely stupefied!

Shen Tian made another move. A dazzling light appeared. It was clear that he was taking out some artifacts.

Waves of terrifying aura erupted as dazzling divine light swept across the entire void turbulence. It was so bright that it lit up the entire area.

Multiple artifacts of all sorts of shapes and sizes, swirling with divine energy, appeared before him.

A longsword, a large tripod, a hammer, a jade plate, and so on!

These were different from those earlier Sage artifacts. The aura of these artifacts was beyond terrifying. The Great Sage felt a chill run down his spine!

A formidable force erupted as if a star had exploded. The pressure pressed against the Great Sage, driving him to the edge!

Shen Tian had taken out the pseudo-Immortal artifacts, Executing Heaven Sword and Ocean Divine Hammer. The Immortal artifact, Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk. The pseudo-Thearch artifacts Banana Fan and Lotus Thearch Cauldron. The Thearch artifact, Divine Sun Cauldron…

Great Sage Evil Fire was completely dumbfounded!

No way!

Damn, the lousiest of all those artifacts is at least a pseudo-Immortal artifact?

He also has Immortal artifacts, pseudo-Thearch artifacts, Thearch artifacts?

The heavens must be playing a joke on me!

Is this kid your illegitimate son? He has come down to the mortal world for a spin?

Please take him back!

How to go against that?

Even a Thearch would not have as many such artifacts as this kid!

Great Sage Evil Fire was struck dumb as he stood there swallowing hard.

He had been beaten up when he had gone against a Shen Tian equipped with a Sage artifact.

Now, this bunch was even fiercer!

Immortal artifacts and Thearch artifacts?

Heavens!

Just kill me now!

He was even prepared to give up and plead for his life!

What else could he do?

Even a Great Sage could not stand against this crazy combination!

Before he could say a single word, Shen Tian made his move.

10 Shen Tians moved in unison. They each held a powerful artifact and attacked Great Sage Evil Fire.

In an instant, the void turbulence was engulfed in boundless divine energy.

Even the fabrics of space inside here were grounded to bits, becoming a completely empty abyss.

In just a few breaths’ time, Great Sage Evil Fire was totally annihilated. He didn’t even have the chance to scream.

His Full Soul was incinerated and became just a lifeless pile of ash.

A Great Sage was eventually killed—his body and soul completely destroyed!

Of course, some things were left behind—a dazzling armor with a powerful aura and a ring.

It was the Great Sage artifact, Evil Fire Armor, and Great Sage Evil Fire’s storage ring.

Shen Tian had controlled the amount of force he exerted during his attack. It would be a waste if he damaged a Great Sage artifact!

Shen Tian patted the dust off his hands. “Did you think I would give you another chance to self-detonate?”

He collected the items with a sigh.

Crime does pay. This old saying is indeed true!

Killing someone is the fastest way to gain treasures!

The lower levels of the Evil Spirit Sect were poor, but the upper management levels were really rich.

In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony then!

Shen Tian smiled as he kept his clones and artifacts before disappearing into the void turbulence.

At East Sea City…

At this point in time, no one knew that Great Sage Evil Fire had already been reduced to a pile of ash.

Following Hall Master Mars’ death and Great Sage Evil Fire’s escape, the danger here had more or less been resolved.

Apart from the Blood Sacrifice Formation, there was nothing else that could threaten the cultivators.

The other Sages from the Evil Spirit Sect had all been beaten to death!

And those Evil Spirit disciples were surrounded by the cultivators from the various races.

No one pitied those Evil Spirit disciples at all.

Previously, tens of thousands of cultivators had died in the hands of these Evil Spirit disciples.

These people were responsible for the piles of corpses strewn across East Sea City!

The cultivators from the various races were incited, and they unleashed their anger, killing off all the Evil Spirit disciples.

After that, everyone felt a great sense of joy and relief.

They didn’t expect things to change for the better so suddenly.

They had just been on the verge of death just seconds ago but managed to evade death at the very last moment!

Luckily, that powerful practitioner had intervened!

City Lord Xu An walked over, his face full of respect. “Thank you, Senior, for working with Qi Zhan to save our lives.”

If not for Shen Tian and Qi Zhan working together, the East Sea City cultivators would have been sacrificial objects to the Evil Spirit Sect.

As a result, Xu An was filled with gratitude and respect!

Some Jixia prodigies also walked over. They had been defending against the Evil Spirit disciples earlier.

Otherwise, given the East Sea City cultivators’ powers, they would have been defeated much faster.

Luckily, it had all ended well now. They all gathered.

“Greetings Divine Firmament Saint and Qi Zhan!

“It’s all thanks to the Divine Firmament Saint that we are safe!

“The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed the top practitioner of the Human Compound!”

They all spoke respectfully, their eyes full of excitement.

The prodigies didn’t expect Shen Tian to be so powerful. He could even defeat a Great Sage!

Qi Zhan laughed out loud. “Boss, you are just too awesome! You managed to beat that Great Sage into a pulp. Fierce!”

Qi Zhan’s respect for Shen Tian grew even stronger after witnessing his battle performance.

Where else in the world would one see a Heavenly Venerable defeat a Great Sage?

No one had even heard of such a thing, not to mention see it!

But I witnessed it!

And it was my Boss!

…

At the same time, a question popped into Qi Zhan’s head.

“Boss, how did you return? Did the Great Thearch’s Teleportation Talisman lose its effectiveness?”

It can’t be!

The Great Thearch can’t possibly have handed out a dud!

Moreover, I clearly felt the void energy when I activated it earlier. It should have been able to teleport!

Qi Zhan was very curious how Shen Tian had managed to rush back.

He had contemplated this question until his head started to ache.

Shen Tian replied calmly, “It was my clone earlier. I learned a technique that enables me to make copies of myself.”

He didn’t intend to continue the lie. It was a treasure given by the Great Thearch, after all. How could it lose its effectiveness?

“I see!”

Realization dawned upon Qi Zhan. This explanation made sense!

But then he thought of something else. The corners of Qi Zhan’s mouth twitched wildly. “Boss, so you are able to make 20 copies of yourself when you are in peak form? Not just 10?”

20 clones. Just the thought of it was terrifying!

10 Bosses together are able to thrash a Great Sage.

How much more formidable would 20 Bosses be?’

Shen Tian gave a dry laugh.

“Ahem, how is that possible?

“Making even more clones of myself right after making the first batch? Don’t be silly, child. Do you think I am a Matryoshka doll?”

Cough, cough~

How did this monkey suddenly become so smart?

He nearly guessed the truth!

Shen Tian had learned the Blood God Sutra and the Self-Materialization technique at the same time. Both these two sutras could make clones.

The Self-Materialization technique made use of arrays to summon the clones, and they were not long-lasting.

Meanwhile, the Blood God’s Son clones were refined using blood essence and could make copies of itself.

This type of clone possessed part of the powers of the main body. It could also merge as one with the main body.

As a result, it could also activate Self-Materialization!

Using the Blood God Sutra and the Self-Materialization technique, he could maximize his group attack abilities.

Just think about it. Every Blood God’s Son clone could activate the Self-Materialization technique to make nine more copies.

Nine produced from one. What a scary concept!

But to most people, it was already difficult enough to master one imperial sutra.

Not only would one need to possess very high innate talent, but they would need large amounts of resources.

As such, mastering two or ten imperial sutras at once would be mind-blowing!

Nonetheless, this was nothing to Shen Tian. He had the Connate Constitution and plenty of Nirvana Holy Liquid and Triple Light Divine Water.

It could be said that in Shen Tian’s peak condition, he could make not just 20 clones. It depended on how many Blood God’s Son clones he had!

The number of clones he could make would be nine times the number of Blood God’s Son clones he had!!!

Of course, Shen Tian kept mum about this.

He was worried about being targeted.

The hunter would shoot the bird that stuck out!

…

Qi Zhan felt somewhat satisfied with Shen Tian’s explanation.

If that was true, Shen Tian’s powers were to the extreme.

Qi Zhan asked, “Boss, the matter here has been resolved, but Great Sage Evil Fire escaped. He remains a threat!

“Shall we go back to the academy to make a report?”

Qi Zhan had no idea that Great Sage Evil Fire was already dead and was worried that he might return and kill them. It would be another dangerous situation then.

Thus, he intended to return to the academy to report to the upper management so that they could send powerful practitioners over to stand guard.

The Evil Spirit Sect’s latest attack felt somewhat off.

The Evil Spirit Sect had only dared to send out small groups to execute sneak attacks in the past. They had never carried out such a large-scale attack, and on the powerful cultivators from the various races at that!

It looked like the Evil Spirit Sect was stirring now. They could initiate a war anytime.

One could not disregard this!

Shen Tian shook his head. “Let’s send word back first. But we don’t need to hurry back.”

Qi Zhan scratched his head. “Why?”

He was puzzled. What else did Shen Tian want to do out here?

Shen Tian shook his head again. “My clone is tens of thousands of miles away. He found a mystic realm. Let’s go take a look!”

Yes, in the original version, Qi Zhan would find the fortuitous opportunity after using the Teleportation Talisman.

Shen Tian’s clone had not remained idle after he was sent off. He had quickly followed Qi Zhan’s fortuitous opportunity image and found the location!

Qi Zhan was stunned.

What the hell? After making use of a Teleportation Talisman and being transported tens of thousands of miles away to goodness-knows-where, he still managed to discover a mystic realm?

This providence is just too good!

…

Qi Zhan suddenly realized that Shen Tian’s reputation across the five regions was not just based on his mighty power. It was also because of his exceedingly high providence. This was why he was touted as the Son of Providence.

He could see now that it was indeed true!

I just have to follow Boss, and I will definitely benefit!

“Boss, let’s go now!”

After affirming that Shen Tian was the Son of Providence, Qi Zhan didn’t hesitate anymore. He immediately wanted to go with him to explore the mystic realm.

“Alright, let’s go now!” Shen Tian nodded with a smile.

This monkey doesn’t know that this fortuitous opportunity originally belonged to him!

Shen Tian did not intend to monopolize everything. He asked Qi Zhan to go with him. In this way, both sides could benefit from the fortuitous opportunity, and Shen Tian could increase his providence!

Attain a peerless providence as soon as possible and be favored by the heavens—this was Shen Tian’s main goal!

…

As for fortuitous opportunities and treasures, no one would believe him if he told them the truth.

Shen Tian had not much interest in those.

Anyway, he had no lack of those things~
