“Alas!”
“Silly girl, why would you think your man couldn't defeat him?”
A sigh echoed, not loud, but it reverberated through all realms, lingering in the ear.
Everyone was stunned.
This voice was too familiar.
It was Lin Yu's voice.
But would his presence even help?
“What’s he doing here? Though he can reign supreme among Golden Immortals, facing the Great Luo realm of the Black Heaven Realm, he’s no match.”
“Below Great Luo, all are ants; it’s not just a saying.”
“He’s seeking death, is it the power of love?”
“How touching, to die together if one must die.”
“Foolish!”
“…………”
As Lin Yu’s voice faded, he instantly teleported in front of Zhao Ke, gently embracing her and pulling her into his arms. With a slight wave of his hand, Zhao Ke’s compressed energy was smoothed out.
“Silly girl!”
“Lin Yu, why didn’t you leave?”
“If I left, what would happen to you?”
“But he’s a Great Luo, we are no match.”
“Who says? Let me show you my strength.”
With that, while holding Zhao Ke, he silently chanted, “All clones, come!”
*Hum!*
White light flickered, and clones appeared in the void.
Dense, filling the void, countless in number.
There were too many clones, and each one exuded an aura stronger than the peak of Golden Immortal.
Zhao Ke’s pupils contracted. She realized that each of these clones was no weaker than her.
She, who had touched the threshold of the Great Luo realm.
She could withstand one strike from a Great Luo with her full power.
Yet, here were countless clones that had touched the profound aura of Great Luo, and she couldn’t even count them. All she saw were figures of clones.
Lin Yu chuckled, “How is it? Do you have confidence in me now?”
Zhao Ke nodded obediently, her heart slightly at ease.
But her furrowed brow remained.
Though their numbers were vast, could they truly defeat the Black Heaven Realm?
Lin Yu believed that quantity could sometimes lead to a qualitative change.
If quantity wasn’t enough, they could always merge for quality.
There was always a way to defeat the enemy.
At this moment.
The powerhouses of all realms gasped.
They knew Lin Yu had many clones.
But, did he have *this* many clones?
Weren’t they told he only had two point five billion clones?
How did it become fifty billion now?
A difference of more than twentyfold, was that even plausible?
“I think there’s a glimmer of hope. Fifty billion clones, each not much weaker than Zhao Ke. A war of attrition might just work.”
“I doubt it. Though numerous, they face a Great Luo.”
“Let’s watch, the answer will be revealed soon.”
The Black Heaven Realm was also taken aback.
He had investigated Lin Yu and knew his most formidable skill was cloning.
But could he really produce tens of billions of clones? Was that normal?
It was utterly ridiculous.
Moreover, each one was so powerful; even he felt a chill.
“Human, I admit you are powerful, but you must understand that below Great Luo, all are ants. Your clones, though many, are merely ants. How can they be my match? It’s just a futile struggle.”
Below Great Luo, all are ants!
Lin Yu couldn’t help but want to laugh.
That saying might apply to others, but not necessarily to him.
Lin Yu sneered, “If you want to fight, then fight. Stop blabbering.”
The Black Heaven Realm’s anger flared, and he snorted, “Then today, I shall show you what a Great Luo is.”
Lin Yu frowned, ordering his clones to attack immediately, while he cast Divine Concealment and quietly retreated with Zhao Ke.
*Boom!*
The two sides clashed.
Lin Yu’s clones formed a human sea, some engaging in close combat, others in ranged attacks, and some executing assassination strikes.
They continuously surged towards the Black Heaven Realm.
However, with a mere sweep of his arm, the Black Heaven Realm could send thousands of clones flying.
The clones were not weak; they could withstand one blow, but not the second.
Soon, casualties appeared among the clones, with thousands perishing.
“Damn ants, die!”
The Black Heaven Realm attacked furiously, unleashing his internal energy.
But as a world-type being, his energy was virtually infinite.
Lin Yu’s clones numbered fifty billion, and Lin Yu also secretly replenished the fallen ones, ensuring their numbers remained at fifty billion.
Thus, a peculiar situation arose.
Waves of clones perished, yet their numbers did not decrease.
It had temporarily entered a stalemate.
The beings of all realms watched this scene with strange expressions and shock.
“His strategy is so cheesy.”
“As long as it’s effective, it’s fine.”
“Indeed. Look, the Black Heaven Realm is injured. If it were his peak condition, it would be difficult to fight.”
“To be locked in such a stalemate is enough to make him famous across all realms.”
“ From now on, Lin Yu is the strongest in all realms!”
“Don’t speak so rashly; who knows how many Great Luos are hidden in the shadows.”
“Alas, who knows how long this will last.”
“Fighting for a thousand years is not unusual.”
“……”
Zhao Ke lay in Lin Yu’s arms, occasionally glancing at the battlefield, her heart filled with a sense of security.
But there was also a hint of melancholy.
In the past, she protected Lin Yu; now, she was being protected by him.
However, the thought that Lin Yu was the one protecting her made her heart swell with sweetness again.
If only this moment could last forever.
She thought this to herself.
*Boom boom boom!!!*
The commotion from the battlefield spread across all realms, attracting more and more onlookers.
When they saw the situation on the battlefield, they were stunned.
They never expected a human at the early Divine King stage to possess fifty billion clones, and that these clones were so powerful they could withstand a Great Luo’s strike.
Fifty billion clones besieging an injured Great Luo, yet fighting to a draw.
What an unbelievable scene.
At this moment.
A bookboy also arrived in the void to investigate.
When he clearly saw the Black Heaven Realm on the battlefield, he froze.
Then, he left in a panic.
……
Xuan Ming Great World.
In a small town, a modest courtyard.
Currently, a scholar in white robes was leisurely watering flowers in the courtyard.
“Cough, cough, cough!!!”
“That battle back then damaged my origin; I don’t know how long it will take to recover.”
“Alas, that battle was too rushed.”
“Failing to slay the Black Heaven Realm is my greatest regret in this life.”
“When my strength recovers, I will surely raise my blade again and slay this Black Scar!”
His expression turned cold, but he heard movement outside the door.
Looking up, he saw the bookboy returning after gathering herbs.
“You’ve returned quickly this time. Did you find the Chaotic Dao Lotus?”
This bookboy had been trained by him since childhood and had now lived for a hundred thousand years.
The bookboy had also grown into a peak Divine King powerhouse.
Ever since the bookboy became a Divine King, he had sent him out to collect medicinal herbs in the chaos.
These herbs were used by him to repair his origin.
At this pace, he would be fully healed in another hundred thousand years.
However, today’s bookboy was different; his expression was panicked and agitated.
“What’s wrong?” the scholar said.
“Master, I saw the Black Heaven Realm!”
“Where did you see him? To what extent has his strength recovered?”
The scholar’s tone became urgent, his aura unstable.
In their previous battle, both had suffered severe injuries.
If the Black Heaven Realm dared to emerge and was discovered, he must have recovered.
As for himself, he still needed a hundred thousand years to recover.
Thinking of this, he also panicked.
The bookboy said, “Master, it’s not what you think, but rather…”
“Speak quickly!”
The bookboy felt a surge of exasperation, being interrupted again.
“Master, the Black Heaven Realm is fighting a human, and it’s a draw!”
What?
Human? He was also human, but since when were humans this strong?
Though he was recuperating here, he wasn’t completely out of touch with the outside world.
After his disappearance, humanity had declined.
Humans had the advantage of rapid cultivation, but their bloodline was only average. Though many prodigies would emerge, on average, their talent lagged far behind some other races.
However, upon remembering that another Great Luo had emerged among humans, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it wasn’t a Great Luo from another race.
It wouldn’t attract attention and make them target him.
“What is the origin of this human? Did you find out?”
“Master, the strangest thing is, this human is only at the early Divine King stage. He possesses a cloning technique, allowing him to create fifty billion clones, and each clone’s power rivals that of a powerhouse who has touched the aura of Great Luo.”
The scholar stood frozen upon hearing this.
His eyes widened, an expression of disbelief on his face.
“Master, I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, you can inquire anywhere. That person is now a celebrity renowned throughout all realms.”
“Fifty billion clones, and capable of fighting above his level, truly a monstrous genius.”
“Yes, it’s too absurd.”
“Fortunately, he’s human. But the Black Heaven Realm isn’t easy to deal with. It seems I’ll have to take action myself.”
The bookboy exclaimed in shock, “Master, you’re going to act?”
The scholar smiled, “This is an excellent opportunity to slay the Black Heaven Realm. I cannot let it pass, otherwise, who knows when the next chance will come.”
“Master, I’ll go with you.”
“The plants in my courtyard are all priceless. You shall stay here and guard the flowers and plants.”
With that, he turned and left.
