The fall of Chu Country brought devastation to all living things, like a hell on earth.
Standing atop the mountain, Lu Xuanji opened the "Hundred Maps Atlas". On the map, Chu Country had already fallen, with only a few strongholds resisting.
After intense fighting until now, the outco had been decided.
The Demon Race had achieved victory.
The future seed bleak, and there was no hope in sight.
"The only chance of victory is the East Pole Celestial Venerable. As long as he appears, the situation will improve!" Lu Xuanji pondered.
No matter how dire the fall of Chu Country and the crisis of the situation, as long as the Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Human Race return, they can swiftly sweep across the world, recapture Chu Country, and restore the situation.
In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, numbers are important, but the overwhelming power of high realms is equally crucial.
As long as the Divinity Transformation cultivators return, the situation will change in an instant.
"When will the Human Race’s Divinity Transformation cultivators, trapped in the secret realm, return? Where exactly is that secret realm? But relying on them blindly is not a sound strategy!" Lu Xuanji thought, looking southeastward, where the territory of Yue Country lay.
The Six Desires Demon Venerable from Yue Country could also restore the situation if he made a move.
...
Lu Xuanji was in turmoil when suddenly, he sensed sothing.
He saw a woman erge through the flickering void, and it was Jin Xi.
Jin Xi’s aura was formidable, like a mountain or sea, reaching the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul.
Her aura was powerful but carried a hint of weakness, as if she were severely injured.
"Are you injured? How bad are your wounds?"
Lu Xuanji asked in surprise, stepping forward.
"Cough, cough!" Jin Xi coughed and said, "The Divinity Transformation is formidable, even the likes of the Blood Bat Demon Venerable, whose combat power far exceeds that of many Nascent Soul cultivators. In over dozens of exchanges, I kept coughing up blood and losing. It was only by relying on the Chaos Hall that I barely escaped. In the end, it was still by relying on..."
At this point, Jin Xi’s expression grew solemn, an eerie glint in her eyes, along with a trace of unwillingness.
"What happened?"
Lu Xuanji asked, sensing sothing off about Jin Xi at that mont.
"During the fierce battle, I was originally no match for the Blood Bat Demon Venerable, but at a critical mont, Blue Lotus took control of my body and forcibly repelled the Blood Bat Demon Venerable by channeling her magical power. Recently, Blue Lotus used a secret technique to sever our connection. She is no longer my clone but a separate entity who left recently!"
"How could it be possible? A clone breaking free from the master’s control to disappear!"
Lu Xuanji listened, feeling like it was sheer fantasy, almost unbelievable.
It felt like a dream.
His first reaction was that it was impossible.
He had studied the "Yin Yang Illusionary Body," and the relationship between the master and the clone was like the Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram, each carrying different personalities—one carrying a benevolent personality, another bearing a malevolent one, one embodying the Immortal Sword Body, another the Celestial Demon Dao Body. They shared the sa mories and worldview.
The only difference was that, due to cultivation techniques, their personalities differed greatly—one domineering, one gentle, one prone to rage, one calm and wild.
But regardless, at their core, both were the sa.
Yet now, Blue Lotus True Monarch had departed.
It was like the left hand betraying the right, as if betraying oneself.
In this world, wives might betray husbands, sons might betray fathers, ministers might betray kings, but for oneself to betray oneself seed impossible.
Jin Xi said, "Impossible? I also think it’s impossible! Yet the impossible has solidly happened!"
As she spoke, she recounted the story.
After being chased by the Blood Bat Demon Venerable, she wielded the Chaos Hall and fought fiercely for many turns, but still couldn’t defeat him. At that mont, her body changed, and Blue Lotus True Monarch’s will took over her body, while her cultivation surged, forcibly reaching the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul realm.
Blue Lotus True Monarch maneuvered the Chaos Ancient Hall, suppressing it continuously. After hundreds of moves, the Blood Bat Demon Venerable was overpowered and fled.
Later, Blue Lotus True Monarch harnessed a secret technique to sever herself from the master.
At that mont, a Blue Lotus appeared behind her, with Yin Yang Qi of birth and death above it, evolving unparalleled creation, and her cultivation infinitely close to Divinity Transformation Cultivation.
Due to the enhancent from Blue Lotus True Monarch’s cultivation, her cultivation also advanced continuously, reaching the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul.
"I am the master; a clone’s cultivation should not surpass the master’s...but Blue Lotus True Monarch forcefully broke the shackles and made the impossible possible. Her cultivation skyrocketed, driving mine to soar, and I also stepped into the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul," Jin Xi said bitterly. "Before parting, she took the Chaos Ancient Hall and vanished!"
Lu Xuanji remarked, "..."
At this mont, Lu Xuanji was speechless, not knowing what to say.
When oneself betrays oneself, what is to be done when one hand slaps the other on the face?
He really had no solution.
Jin Xi’s current situation was akin to a ntal split, where an aspect of oneself overpowered another at a mont.
The kind-hearted self is , the malevolent self is also , both are , yet they are fighting each other.
The present self is , the future self is also , both are , yet the present and future selves are fighting.
Faced with such internal conflicts, he didn’t know what to say.
This also indicated that those secret techniques of clones always had potential dangers, with the possibility of unexpected events.
...
Lu Xuanji opened his mouth, intending to offer so comfort.
But as he was about to speak, he sensed the intense surging of the primordial Qi outside, along with a torrent of destructive power rushing abruptly, forming terrifying tides in the void with a howling sound.
Crack!
Crack!
At that mont, destructive thunderbolts flashed in the void, turning it white.
"What’s happening?"
Jin Xi questioned puzzledly.
"Soone is attempting Heavenly Ascension!"
Lu Xuanji stated.
"How could it be?"
Jin Xi expressed surprise.
The two glanced at each other, then flew away.
They intended to examine who was attempting Heavenly Ascension.
The ergence of this Divinity Transformation could change the dynamics between the Human Race and the Demon Race entirely.
If the Demon Race produced a Divinity Transformation, Chu Country’s situation would beco even more dire, adding insult to injury; however, if the Human Race produced one, it could alleviate the current predicant.
...
Woooooo!
At that mont, terrifying anomalies appeared in the void.
Spiritual Qi surged violently, forming a ferocious storm, expanding into a vast diater of a hundred thousand miles.
Such intense fluctuations made it impossible to conceal the energy.
Many experts from both the Demon Race and Human Race sensed the phenonon.
They promptly took action, heading to the scene to uncover which prodigious individual was attempting Heavenly Ascension.
Regardless of the outco, it would be a grand spectacle.
