Chapter 726: Dao of Clones
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the dark void, countless skeletons floated around. Among them, there was an incomparably huge skeleton that was motionless like a mountain range. On its skeleton stood countless souls of all kinds of races. They seemed to be entangled by invisible chains and could not break free. They were densely packed and at a glance, it was extremely terrifying.
This skeleton had four limbs, but its back was wide, far wider than those four limbs. It did not have a head or tail, so no one could imagine what its real body looked like.
At the highest point of its back, a figure sat there, surrounded by a strange green mist. The trajectory of the Great Dao could be vaguely seen.
In the green mist, one could barely see a human figure. He seemed to be cultivating as his palms continuously changed moves, even producing afterimages.
He suddenly stopped and seemed to have seen something. He spat out a cold voice and said, “Why? Has the Immortal Dao not started the calamity yet?”
A face appeared in the boundless darkness. It was extremely huge, with only the outline of a few facial features. One could not see its eyes or its mouth. It was extremely similar to the Eternal Dao Policy Jiang Changsheng had encountered before.
“The Immortal Dao has begun the calamity, but I suspect that this is a trap set up by the Dao Ancestor to lure us out.”
The huge face did not speak, but its voice echoed in the void for a long time.
The green mist figure snorted and said, “So what if it’s a scheme? He can destroy and suppress the Eternal Race, but does he dare to destroy his Immortal Dao?”
He did not have much fear of the Dao Ancestor in his words. In fact, he even looked down on him.
“Since ancient times, the Immortal Dao has been destroyed several times. It’s not as if an existence stronger than the current Dao Ancestor has never appeared. It’s just that I’ve always been curious about how he could destroy the Eternal Race. Even if he did not walk the path I set, he should not have such power.”
The huge face’s tone carried a trace of worry. It added, “Father Punishment Source was just about to condense a physical body when he was destroyed. The Dao Ancestor must be at the peak of the Dao Intent Lord Realm. I am prepared to nurture a Dao Intent Lord in the Immortal Dao.”
Hearing this, the cyan mist figure sneered and said, “Dao Intent Lord? How long can the Immortal Dao Tribulation last? You’re too naive.”
“It’s not impossible to start with the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Immortal Dao. However, we have to think of a way to lure the Dao Ancestor away.”
“Oh? Don’t tell me you want me to take action? I’ve already helped you disrupt the Immortal Dao, and I don’t want to get involved in muddy waters again!”
“If the Immortal Dao continues to develop, it will threaten your orthodoxy sooner or later.”
“Then can the Great Dao let go of the Immortal Dao?”
“The Great Dao will eradicate the anomalies sooner or later, but no one knows how far the Immortal Dao will develop before that.”
The huge face’s words silenced the green-mist figure.
What the overlord orthodoxies feared the most about the Immortal Dao was its speed of development. In thirty million years, it could give birth to a Dao Intent Lord and more than twenty Eternal Gods. No orthodoxy could compare to such speed of development!
However, no overlord orthodoxy would dare to provoke an orthodoxy that possessed a Dao Intent Lord unless they had a blood feud. After all, the boundless world was truly boundless. Even if they could not afford to provoke it, they could still hide. No matter how powerful an orthodoxy was, it was impossible for them to completely dominate the boundless world.
Since ancient times, how many orthodoxies had wanted to dominate the boundless world? At best, they could only dominate most of the domains before they were obliterated by the will of the Great Dao.
The predecessor of the Immortal Dao was such a dominant orthodoxy. Therefore, the green-mist figure also believed that the current Immortal Dao would continue on that path.
The Immortal Dao was destroyed and resurrected. Every time, they would take the path of domination. His orthodoxy was getting closer and closer to the Immortal Dao, and sooner or later, there would be a battle. Moreover, he had already obtained the inheritance of the Great Dao, so he would not directly integrate into the Immortal Dao like Jing Jue and Zhou Gua.
“Alright, I will think of a way to restrain the Dao Ancestor, but I need that treasure. You should give it to me!” The green-mist figure said in a low voice.
The huge face was silent for a moment before it said, “The 3000 Great Daos have their own fate. If you want too much, it will only harm you.”
“Hmph, if you don’t give it to me, I’d like to see when the will of the Great Dao will truly awaken!”
Hearing this, the huge face slowly entered the darkness and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared. However, its voice sounded again, “It will appear before you soon.”
After thinking for a moment, the green-mist figure continued to cultivate and raised his hands again, changing unpredictably.
At the edge of the Immortal Dao Domain, there were a few disciples of the Dao Sect that were covered in blood with their backs facing each other. They looked in all directions in horror and saw countless figures approaching them, surrounding them.
Their figures were identical, and a strong light burst out from their foreheads, obscuring their true appearance. However, if one looked carefully, they could sense that they were all clones.
“Where else do you think you can escape to? Your master snatched the Sovereign’s Eye and thought that he could end it by killing himself?”
A voice filled with killing intent sounded, similar to tens of millions of people shouting in unison.
A female disciple shouted at the top of her lungs, “Jiang Wanxuan, you only want our magic power. Why do you have to say so much? Since you’ve caught up to us, come and kill us!”
The other Dao Sect disciples followed suit. Even though they were frightened, they were not afraid of death. As they cursed, only killing intent remained in their hearts.
Jiang Wanxuan was one of the top ten prodigies of the Jiang Clan’s imperial branch. However, his reputation was not great. Before the calamity, he kept a low profile and was in seclusion all year round.
“Your magic power is nothing!”
Jiang Wanxuan snorted. Tens of millions of clones released their Eyes of the Great Dao at the same time. Countless golden beams of light shot from all directions and drowned the group of Dao Sect disciples. Even if they used their magical weapons to resist, it was useless. In an instant, they turned into ashes without leaving a single fragment of their magical weapons.
After doing all this, the tens of millions of clones all headed in the same direction and quickly flew away. All of them burrowed into a physical body and disappeared. In less than three breaths, there was only one figure, which was Jiang Wanxuan’s original body.
Jiang Wanxuan touched his forehead. Traces of blood trickled down from the corner of his third eye, which made him frown.
“My cultivation is not enough to control such power. Unfortunately, how can I dominate the calamity with such strength?”
Jiang Wanxuan thought silently, and his eyes were filled with helplessness.
It was unknown when it started, but the Eyes of the Great Dao of the Jiang clansmen had suddenly become extremely powerful. The Eyes of the Great Dao of the top ten prodigies of the current imperial branch had different abilities. For example, his Eyes of the Great Dao could create a large number of clones. His clones could even unleash the Divine Powers he had grasped. They were extremely powerful, but the corresponding consumption was also huge. As a result, he had no choice but to cultivate a cultivation technique that could devour the magic power of others to prevent his body from being unable to withstand it.
In this battle, he tested his limits. He could create more than ten million clones, but he could not use powerful Divine Powers. At most, he could use the divine light of the Eye of the Great Dao. If he were to use different Divine Powers, he might die on the spot.
Tens of millions was only the limit, but his strongest state was to create a thousand avatars that could display all his abilities.
Jiang Wanxuan took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Not long after he left, figures appeared out of thin air. They were Heavenly Saint Haitian, Celestial Venerable, and the rest. The huge Candle Dragon slowly appeared behind them, and it was a spectacular sight.
“This kid’s talent is not simple. It’s a little like the Great Dao of Clones. This kind of Great Dao is extremely rare. I’ve only seen it in Boundless Orthodoxy.”
Celestial Venerable clicked his tongue in wonder. He had already entered the Mental Wander Realm and become a believer of the Dao Ancestor. He also admired the Jiang clansmen.
Heavenly Saint Haitian calmly said, “It does resemble the Great Dao of Clones, but there is no aura of the Great Dao on him, only the aura of the Heavenly Dao. It seems like the path that the Dao Ancestor took encompasses the 3000 Great Daos, evolving the most complete Great Dao before transforming it into the Heavenly Dao.”
The Torch Dragon asked from behind, “The Immortal Dao is ahead. Are we really going to join?”
He was more afraid of the Dao Ancestor. He could not forget the Dao Ancestor’s attack that day.
He had seen the two Dao Ancestors before, and their personalities were different. In particular, the previous Dao Ancestor was domineering and bloodthirsty, causing him to be filled with fear and vigilance towards the current Dao Ancestor. It was true that the Dao Ancestor had saved them, but it was not without ulterior motives.
“Yes, let’s take root in the Immortal Dao first and understand the current techniques. Coincidentally, the Immortal Dao is about to usher in a calamity. There must be the will of the Great Dao behind this. The Immortal Dao cannot fall. Otherwise, we will be fighting alone.”
Heavenly Saint Haitian answered. Everyone nodded when they heard this. When they challenged the Great Dao previously, they had already felt the gap between them and the Great Dao.
Furthermore, they were also interested in the Immortal Dao.
Who did not want to obtain the power of the Dao Ancestor?
Even if they could not compare to the Dao Ancestor, if they could obtain 10% of his strength, they would far exceed the current situation!
They immediately flew towards the Immortal Dao.
In the Purple Cloud Palace.
Not long after Kunlun Dao and the others left, Jiang Changsheng concocted pills in the Myriad Existence Cauldron while prying into the Immortal Dao.
He had also noticed Jiang Wanxuan’s talents. Not only him, but several other prodigies of the Jiang Clan had also displayed talents that were not inferior to Jiang Wanxuan.
“These Jiang clansmen were born after the birth of the Primordial Great Dao. It seems like the Primordial Great Dao has affected the Eye of the Great Dao.”
Jiang Changsheng silently thought. Under his concept, the Primordial Great Dao contained the mysteries of the 3000 Great Daos, which was all-encompassing. This also caused the power of the Great Dao he comprehended to be passed down through the Eye of the Great Dao. However, what he passed down was not the Great Dao, but the Heavenly Dao.
In addition, after the calamity began, the talent of the Jiang Clan had increased. This was the enhancement of the power of the Heavenly Dao. As the force that started the calamity, the Heavenly Dao needed the Jiang Clan to eliminate the forces that the Heavenly Dao wanted to eliminate. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao had to help the Jiang Clan become stronger.
Right now, 90% of the forces in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm had entered the calamity, and the remaining 10% had to close their small worlds and isolate themselves from the outside world to barely avoid the calamity.
Too many mighty figures and prodigies had risen and were summoning wind and rain in different regions. As a result, Jiang Changsheng could not see who was chosen by the will of the Great Dao for the time being.
Jiang Shan and the others were still in the sealed area and nothing had happened for the time being.
Jiang Changsheng felt that the will of the Great Dao would not choose them. Instead, it would choose either another group of people or stronger experts.
His intuition told him that it must be a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
There were more than twenty Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, but most of them were his believers. This should be hard to distinguish.
If the will of the Great Dao bewitched his believers, that would be interesting.
Jiang Changsheng tried to deduce the calamity. Billions of trends appeared in his eyes and the scene in his eyes changed rapidly.
